THE BATTALION SAY AGGIE! (Continued from Page 1) been forgiven all- our mistakes; so now let us honor them in their de parture. We should make these lest days number with the most pleasant they have spent here. The least we can do is to assure them that we will uphold the school’s customs, traditions and standards. * * * Athletics have not been what we could call a howling success this year. This was partly hard luck and partly our own fault. We can look back now, not to weep over our mistakes, but to profit by them in the future for by mistakes we learn. We are los ing many good men this year as well as next year and others must be found to take their places; so with our sep aration for the summer comes the duty and the privilege of finding new material. Other schools can offer financial aid to athletes, but we must look for the men who love the game and are wiling to make sacrifices— after all these make the best fighters but we must have more of them. For get “Her” long enough to talk A. and M. to every possible man. Some may not be athletes, but they may bring others who are and too we need others who are not athletes. When we come back next fall get behind Buck and that “Old Army” with that “Aggie Fight” and determination to win and “Nothing between high heaven and crab-grass” can stop us on that “Thousand Mile Walk.” Get the spirit and give it to the coming generation of Fish. * * * Aggie, during the past year we have been rather careless in regard to uniform, this last week we should dress and act like a soldier even though it is hot and hard on those well earned Sbisa Fronts. Our appropriations were cut short this year and we must make the most of it ,but we can help in the coming years by making a good appearance before our visitors many of whom have a decided influence on A. and M.’s future welfare. One of two things must happen. A. and M. must become a real military ; school or no military work at all. j $ Things cannot go on as they have. ANNUAL GYMKANA ON FRIDAY, MAY 29 Entries are being received for the annual Gymkana which will be held on the drill field Friday afternoon, May 29. The Gymkana is a series of mounted races and contests promoted by the cadet officers of the cavalry unit. Committees have been appoint ed and much interest is being shown. The chairmen of the various commit- tese are: Executive, A. I. Richard son; Entries and Events, M. E. Dealy; Prizes, Zu Parks; Arrangement, Louis Dodson; Program and Publicity; Har ry Duckett. The pragram will be practically the same as that of last year. At tractive prizes will be given in each event. It is expected that many en tries will be made by pupils in the feminine riding classes, and appro priate events will be arranged for them. SO LONG, CY. With the closing of school and the passing of other good things, ends the work of Cy Edwards. Another yell leader will have become an alumnus. They christened him Cyrus Leroy Ed- dards, but we call him Caboose Catunk Ick-Ick for short. Cy doesn’t know how old he is, but he has spent most of his life at A. and M. Somehow, it won’t seem right for him not to be back next year. We have depended on him so long that he seems a perma nent fixture—like Prexy’s Moon or Governor Ross. Good luck, Cy. We won’t forget you or the times we have followed you for A. and M. You have given a lot to Aggieland, and if we all had given as much perhaps there would have been a different ending to several stories. We will remember the things you have said and done, and next year we will carry them on. Good-bye, and a full cup to you always; a happy life a pretty wife, and may all your sighs be little Cys. They call her Spearmint not be cause she’s “Wrigley”—but because she’s after meals. NEW SAMPLES FOR SPRING CLOTHKS UNIFORM AND CIVILIAN GLEANING and PRESSING Chas.

Of the distinguished men of Amer ica: With no schooling: Of one million, only six attained distinction. With elementary schooling: of one million, twenty-five attained distinc tion. With high school education: of one million, 623 attained distinction. With college education: Of one million, 5,768 attained distinction.

What chance are you giving yourself? A weekly paper informs us that there are as many atoms in a drop of water as there are drops in the Med iterranean Sea. We understand that the counting of the drops in the Med iterranean was done at night so as not to interfere with traffic. Another- victory for science. E. W. CRENSHAW, JR.
