LANDSCAPE GARDENING.
Recent Addition to Curriculum Meets
With Widespread Favor—Benefi
cial Effects Are Noticeable.
Last spring landscape gardening
was given a try-out and the results
obtained from the test made it im
perative that this subject be at once
placed in the college curriculum. It
was decided that the course should be
optional and open to bug hunters and
engineers alike. The beauty of the
new subject lies in the fact that it is
entirely practical—no text book is
used, nor is any preparation required,
and furthermore no notes need be
kept. The course possesses another
advantage in that it may be entered
at any time. The work is intensely
interesting. Oh! what a pleasure to
spend one’s spare time out in the
glorious spring sunshine.
The class has just finished a course
in “Drainage and Leveling.” “Flower
Gardens” and “Lawn Making” are
next taken up, accompanied by side
subjects too numerous to mention.
“Grass Cutting” will take up consid
erable time at the end of the course.
The position of assistant director
of the campus beautifying class is
open at present, but will not remain
so very long, if Dame Rumor is to be
credited. Abbott is clamoring for the
position, closely followed by Zuber
and several other habitual “ram list
fiends.”
Durinb the past several weeks the
landscape gardening class was over
crowded with sophomores whose work
along the main road just after the
junior banquet was exceedingly well
done.
The accompanying cut illustrates a
portion of the class at work.
TENNIS PLAYERS AGAIN ACTIVE.
Balmy Spring Weather Puts “Pep”
Into Players.
The return of spring brings with it
the welcome baseball season, and a
glance at the campus will reveal the
fact that the great National game is
in full swing. Another glance will
show that the lovers of tennis are
serving on every court. For some un
known reason the interest in tennis
has declined in recent years except
among a persistent few, but now the
call of the clay court is being answer
ed enthusiastically by a large number.
Several new courts have been built
recently and more will have to be
planned to accommodate all who de
sire to play. There should be no rea
son why tennis should not be restored
to its rightful place among the sports
enjoyed by the cadets. It’s a clean,
healthy and inexpensive game, to say
the least. There should be enough
ability among the various players to
put A. & M. on the tennis map with
ease.
Cadet*—“This is a poor time to go to
camp.”
His Pal—“Why?”
Cadet—“Because it’s March most
of the time we are out there.”
WITH APOLOGIES TO DAVID.
Chem. is my Jonah. I shall not
pass.
It maketh me study after taps; it
houndeth me in my sleep;
It worrieth my soul, though I follow
it up for the sake of a sheepskin.
Yea, though I pass all but thee, I
shall not graduate, for thou shalt be
behind me. I fear thee always; thy
theory and practice flunk me.
Thou prepareth an exam in the
presence of my classmates, and thou
maketh a fool of me till my wrath
runneth over.
But surely goodness and mercy
shall prevail in thy mind on final
exam, else I shall dwell at A. & M
forever. M. M. D., ’16.
As surely as spring comes with
blooming flowers and singing birds,
“his” appearance is to be relied upon.
His? Who? Why, the bug hunter,
with his insect net and cyanide bottle.
Watch him as he chases from shrub
to bush and bush to vine after many
an elusive insect, bug or pest, as the
case may be.
Prof: “Van, you are late.”
Van H: “Yes, sir; but ’Fessm I
can’t get here sooner. Its nigh onto
half a mile from Gathright Hal to
here.”
