BEHOLD—The A. & M. melting pot. They come by
droves. They arrive as indivicfuals, and leave still
* more individualistic, but in each case there is a
certain metamorphosis. I
Freshmen—hundreds. and hundreds of them—
and of this group there are always a few which
typify some certain types into which all of them
fall during the first few days of their stay at Aggie-
land. Here’s eight of those types which you will
easily recognize:*
MILITARY—He’s fresh from t“Colonel Gi unday’s
v School Militaire” or else he has just ended the junior
R. O. T. C. course in high school as a brigadier-
colonel. Now he’s coming to Aggieland to show the
boys how this military is really done.
HILLBILLY—Up from the country, he is the farm’s
contribution to higher learning His will be a big
time at college, and he’ll get allot out of it because
he will put a lot into it.
FOOTBALL—Brawn and more brawn. Picked by
ever-watchful football scouts, )<he reports in early
September to “do or die’’ for Aggieland. Usually a
good-natured likeable fellow; college wouldn’t be the
same without him.
TIMID, SHY AND BASHFUIr-JIe’s homesick—won
ders why he ever came to such a place. Wishes with
all his heart that he was home with Ma and Pa and
his sweetheart. Being forced to wait in endless regis^
tration lines doesn’t help this case any. He’ll prob
ably stick it out, but right now he doubts it.
