A. & M. SENIORS
BEAT TEX. GRADS
IN LOYALTY TEST
Aggie Grads Join Alumni Organi
zation—Show Future Interest
in School.
A recent issue of the ALCALDE,
the official publication of the Ex-Stu
dents Association of the University
of Texas, states that some 135 mem
bers of their graduating class have
become members of their Association
and that they are expecting several
others. Their graduating class num
bers over 400 and they feel that their
record in enrolling their Seniors is
excellent.
This year’s class at A. and M. num
bers slightly over three hundred. Al
ready nearly two hundred members
of that class have become members
of the A. and M. Ex-Students As
sociation and there is still another
hundred expected to come into the
fold.
The situation is typical of the In
stitutions. A. and M. men believe in
their organizations, whatever they
may be, and they support them with
a 100 per loyalty.
TO THE SENIORS.
carry on as efficiently and effectively
the standing and the traditions of,
the school as well as you have done
during your stay.
Boys, you are leaving us now to
become men in the world. Prove to
those not within our A. and M. Bro
therhood, as has been proven before,
that A. and M. men are real men and
worthy of the respect and support of
all.
ASSURANCE.
The school term is at an end, the
seniors are leaving to take up work
in the various fields; their work this
year has been a success due to the co
operation and confidence they have
manifested in each other and in their
student body. They have carried on a
great work that they wish to be con
tinued, and the most we, the under
classmen, can do to merit their con
fidence is to continue the development
of our institution and make the most
of the opportunities they have pro
vided for us; so when we shake the
hands of the seniors for the last time
let’s let them know we are capable,
let’s let them know they are leaving
their institution in the hands of mep
of their own high ideals, and that
they have done their share toward the
progress of their institution.
ALL WET!
To you, the men of ’27, that time
has come to which you have all been
working and waiting. You must no
longer consider yourself a member of
our great family but more, a son of
this great college of ours. Most of you
joined this brotherhood four long
years ago with high hopes and aspira
tions; some of these have been realiz
ed, others have not. On many occas
ions your time has probably seemed
to have been wasted, and without ex
ception in many instances it was, but
the foundation you have obtained and
the friendships you have formed could
have only been obtained at the cost
of many hard, dull hours of work.
You welcomed, those of us remain
ing, to college as “fish” and it was
the true, green type of “fish” that
we were. Some of us have been under
your care for three long years and
they have been happy ones. It is our
only hope that next ,year we can
’Twas the night before commence
ment, and all in the hall
Not a critter was stirring, but wait—
that is not all.
We had pulled up the covers, our tir
ed bones to rest,
When in the dead of night in dropped
a guest. ..r
My room-mate’s snoring did rasp and
did clatter
When suddenly there came an awful
'big splatter.
There was the sound of Niagra, the
burning of Rome,
O my gosh how that shot did hit
home.
Gasping and gurgling we came up for
air
But the funny part was, that no one
was there.
Now take my advice and buy a shot
gun,
Just sit up all night and get in the
fun.
