THE HIGH SCHOOL MEET
The third week of April will mean
much to the A. and M. cadets. On
the 21st we get a holiday. The night
of the 21st the Sophomores will give
a dance. Two big baseball games with
University will be played Thursday and
Friday. Thursday night, the 22nd,
the annual Ross Volunteer Hop comes
off. Friday the big High School and
Academy track meet will be held and
Friday night the Seniors will have a
big dance. Saturday the finals of the
track meet are held, and Saturday be
ginning at four in the afternoon the
big annual carnival starts and lasts
until taps.
On Friday there will also be held
an ortorical contest.
A. and M. has sent out most gener
ous invitations to all important High
Schools and Academies to participate
in this big meet. The railroad fare,
and all accomodations besides beauti
ful medals are offered as inducements.
The only requirement for the partici
pating teams will be that they are
champions of their respective districts
Old Kyle field will be alive with
young athletes running, jumping, leap
ing and engaging in all kinds of ath
letic contests. And what is so enter
taining and attractive as a race of
eager fleet-footed lads, exerting every
power and muscle within their bodies
to win.
Let us all be present at the meet,
and let us all show these youngsters
some real A. and M. hospitality. We
want these representatives of the
“prep” schools to come to A. and M.
when they leave their present insti
tutions. And they will mose likely come
if we give them, a good impression, ox
a. and M.
Fish Starnes who is doing so well
m the track ,came here last year to
represent Marshall Training School.
He was so well impressed that this
year he returned not as a representa
tive of a “prep” school team, but as a
cadet. And he is now making good
on our own track squad.
Other cadets have come in the same
way. This meet will mean that more
young athletes shall learn about A. &
M. and when the time comes for them
to enter college they will turn their
foot-steps toward A. and M.
A LETTER FROM O. J. JAMES.
Hda. El Canada, Mex., Mrch. 19, 1915.
Dr. J. O. Morgan,
College Station, Texas.
My Dear Doctor:
No doubt you will be very much sur
prised to hear from this old ex-student
of yours. Nevertheless, he often thinks
of you and of all his college friends.
I have been working on this place
now going on eight months and getting
along beautifully. I am getting a
great deal of good out of this hacienda,
t learn something new every day, but
sorry to say it is not along my line.
It is mostly along a military line.. I
have had some great experiences and
would love to tell you some of them,
but will not attempt to take up your
time with Mexican affairs. Tho I will
say that we had seven common shells
to explode within one hundred yards
of where we were. So you can see
how close I came to being an ex-human
on earth instead of your ex-student.
Oh! it has been great. Carrransistas
and Villaistas have been fighting on
and around our place for over a month.

Doctor, I would like to know the best
method of getting and handling bar
ley seed. I have some bulletins on
barley, but cannot get any satisfaction
out of them. We have some four hun
dred acres in barley and I want to
know how to go about getting the best
seed for next year’s crop. So if you
can give me some good advice on this
matter it would be very much appre
ciated.
Yours sincerely,
O. J. JAMES.

FISH ~WIF GAL-
GYP THE
BL OO D
“Gyp the Blood” came to us from Reno California. He had herd about
the hazing of fish and that rotten stuff, se he brought his colt 45 and a couple
of daggers along with him. The “old boys” happened into Gyp’s room to
pay him a casual visit soon after his arrival.. Gyp thought something was
up, so he put the whole bunch to flight by pulling out his gun. After some
little argument, Lieutenants Barraco and Francis succeeded in persuading
Gyp to give up his firearms. And since that date Gyp has been loosing his
wild and wooly temperament until now he is simply known as “Fish” Wiegal.
