27 GRADUATES
TO HAVE NEW ROLE
AS “BABY EXES”
As Members of Association Former
Students A. and M. Men Band
Together to Aid Institution and
Each Other.
An annual transformation, strange
yet complete, will soon take place.
When the seniors of the class of 1927
step upon the rostrum to receive their
coveted decrees they are veritable
“Lords of all they survey,” as far as
A. and M. is concerned, anyhow.
When they step from the rostrum,
with the sheepskin clutched tightly
in warm hands, they become the
“Baby Exes,” as far as the thousands
of other A. and M. men who have
gone before them are cpncerned.
An examination of the records in
the office of the Association of For
mer Students discloses the remarkable
spreading of each yearly class of A.
and M. graduates within a few months
after the commencement exercises.
Practically every State in the Union
gets its quota. Many foreign coun
tries receive one or more of these
recent grads. They filter into strange
outlying districts, doing engineering,
agricultural or business tasks. They "
g*roup together in large cities and in-” ,
dustrial centers. Texas, naturally,-J
gets most of them, but there ar£ |
representatives that can be found in
every State.
Commencement no longer means a
complete severance of ties between the ,
graduate and his Alma Mater. Thru :
j the organization of the Former Stu
dents Association A. and M. men
! everywhere are retaining their touch
! with their institution and with their
^ A. and M. friends. Nearly half of the
11927 class have already become mem-
i bers of this organization, and before
I Commencement the roll will be prac
tically complete with all of them.
Backless bathing suits, contrived to
allow their wearers to acquire an
even coat of tan, will probably prove,
popular at indoor pools this summer..
