THE COLLEGE FRESHMAN
(Continued from Page 1)
the College authorities, I am glad to
say that the institution has been
proud of its present Freshman Class.
You have entered the institution
with a better general preparation
than any class that has preceded you.
Most of you have come with ambi
tion and determination to make the
most of your College career. Your
standards of conduct, your obedience
to constituted authority and College
regulations have been a matter of
comment throughout the year. This
record gives promise of future years
of unusual achievement and satis
faction.
Every possible effort should be
made by the Freshman Class to
maintain its number throughout the
College course. The losses in the
number of students from each class
in previous years have been too
large. Only a small percentage of
thos'^who entei’ed the Freshman
Class have continued through to the
end of the Senior year. The present
Freshman Class should attempt to
develop pride in the size of Its mem
bership and the relatively small de
crease in its numbers through suc
ceeding years. Let evei’y member
of the Freshman Class resolve to re
turn to school next St ptember and
urge every other' member to do the
same.
But the pride of the class in num
bers should be far exceeded by its
pride in standards of scholarship and
moral conduct. No class can achieve
greatness merely through the num
ber included in its membership.
Quality always counts for more than
quality. The class, therefore, should
lay stress on the percentage of its
membership which take rank as dis
tinguished students. Pride should he
taken in the number who go through
the four years of College without re
ceiving a demerit. The record for
military proficiency and class honors
received should be matters of inter
est and concern.
Finally, I wish to congratulate you
on the record you hat e made foi
your first year, and to express my
personal appreciation for the loyalty
you have already displayed foi your
College. I hope not one of you has
had any cause to regret his choice of
the College as the institution where
he is to receive his collegiate train
ing. It is my hope that your summer
may be pleasantly spent and that
you may return to College next year
eager to resume your work and am
bitious to make your Sophomore
year one of great profit and happi
ness.

KEEN INTEREST HAS BEEN DE
VELOPED IN FRESHMAN
STOCK JUDGING CONTEST
(Continued from Page 1)
in the United States and Canada, as
the trophy, which is a bronze bull,
has been won only once by any other
team. The A. H. students begin in
their freshman year to work for a
place on this team, and it has usually
been the case that men making a
place on the freshman team have
stood a good chance of making the
international team in their senior
year. So it may be expected that
some of the men in this year’s con
test will be on the senior team in the
fall of 1922.
Below is a list of the men who have
won a place in the contest. They
are arranged according to sections.
Six of these men will compose the
Freshman Stock Judging Team, and
these six men will be awarded med
als. These medals are coveted prizes,
and each of the following students is
working hard to win one of them:

CHAMPIONS NAMED SATURDAY
(Continued from Page 1)
her credit for the Southwestern
honors.
Under the standing conditions it
is possible for a team to finish with
1000 per cent in the Southwestern
Conference and not really represent
the best team in the State. Teams
like Oklahoma A. and M., University
of Arkansas, or Phillips University,
might take the Southwestern cham
pionship and actually win only two
of three Southwestern games.
Thus the importance of A. and
M’s standing in the lead for State
honors can be appreciated.
Below is a record of individual
honors of all members of the A. and
M. baseball squad who have partic
ipated in as many as three full
games. Capt. Lewis is leading with
a batting average of .428 per cent.

MILITARY QUESTION
Soph: I asked May for just one
little kiss.
Fish: What did you want to do?
Get the range?
Soph: “What’s the difference be
tween capital and labor?”
Fish: “If I had to work and turn
three-fourths of my wages over to
you, that would be labor.”
Soph: “Yes?”
Fish: “On the other hand, if you
had to work and turn three-fourths
of your wages over to me, that
would be capital.”
