With the end of school within sight, many off us fcrho are
making classes for the last time are beginning to look back
over our four years as a student and are beginning to won
der about the anxiety that we have shown for the coming
m ^pEifEEH—. - '. ) ' * ' j'
With graduation will also end many of the friendships
that have grown so close in the four years, because many of
us will go out of contact with the rest of the; class as if some
hole in the «arth had swallowed us. This seems to be a very
poor excuse fdr letting a friendship die which has been cul
tivated through our college careers when It is so easy to re
main in contact with the rest of our classmates through She
columns of the Former Students’ Publication, The Texas
Aggie.
There will be many who think that it isn’t necessary to
maintain contact with the rest of the ex-students for various
reasons, but with the old men who have been oft a number
of years and cherish the memories of their days as a student,
the friendships which were cultivated during the student
days seem to grow with the years and their greatest enjoy
ment comes from reading about a former classmate and re
calling the incidents pertaining to their fCoOegd days. It is
then that the keeping in- touch with the fellow classmates
' becomes so valuable, u
The Texas Aggie which is published twice a month con
tains news of graduates from practically every class and
also any outstanding thing that might have happened to
him. It is a fine medium for remaining in fontact with all
the ex-students who take advantage of the qpponunity 1 , and
for knowing what is going on at the college. At the end of
each achool year the Aggie is sent to each graduating senior
and it ia hoped both for the satisfaction of the subscriber
and for the creating of an even greater*ex-student organ
ization that the subscription will be kept up.

The End In Sight
With less than three weeks of school work remaining in
this term there is little opportunity of starting this late to
make good those resolutions we so readily made after the
first term grades were posted. However, there is still ample
time to bring up those border line grades and clinch those

annual HORSE SHOW—
(Continued From Psi-e 1)
Moat college students are confident. A great number of
them are cocky. When orienUtion week brings 1,500 new
students to the Wisconsin campus, the upper classmen in
nine cases out of ten can pick out the freshmen at a casual
glance. It is not the cut of the freshman’s clothes. It is his
attitude. Four years on a university campijs cannot help
but give the undergraduate a different approach to the
future he ia facing. He plans for the future. He builds air
castles. Shakespeare’s “all the world’s a stage*’ ia adapted to
fit his personal case. He is the leading man.
The irony of the situation lies in the tremendous dis
appointments the graduate will meet after graduation. In
many cases, he will be required to adopt a lowered standard
of living. A jobless world will turn its back on a considerable
percentage of Phi Beta Phis. What of the air castles ? What
of the confidence of the leading man? The colb gij grind will
have to meet the competition of the well-rounded man who iiim M

The polo pony bending race, a
new feature of the show, will pro
vide those who have now witness
ed the polo games between the
field artillery and cavalry teams
with sn opportunity to aee the
polo moentt in action. This event
is, however, open to civilians
mounted on cow-ponies and carry
ing a lariat instead of a polo mal
let.
Each contestant is to start from
scratch, race through four stakes
set at intervals, passing stakes on
alternate sides, and return through
to the finish.
Many other features are to be
included in the show among which
are the following: mounted tug of
war, children’s class, potato race,
three gaited saddle horse class,
plantation walk, and touch-out i
jumping,
Henry S. Burham of Houston, as
sociate editor of the Kentucky
Horseman, and owner, trainer, and
rider of fine saddle horses, will
act as judge. He will determine
the winners of the fine harness !
class, the five gaited saddle class,
•the three gaited saddle horse class,
the plantatien walk, the children’s
class and probably the junior and
senior jumping classes.
Prises to be awarded to the win

man who is grounded in his field. To the avera^f senior, the
find semester is a period of marking time until he will be
called upon to match his preparation with that of othdr
graduates. Just how complete each individual’s preparation
has been depends to a considerable extent on himself. Faculty
members are responsible for showing the way, but the i«il
training is matter of individual responsibility. I
The disillusionment of the first two years will be good
tonic for inflated ego. But to some, the tonic will be a pocket
