Before anyone VcalljeB it, the Freshman Class is going tna ' Ti to be broke. At least tHat is what present indications show. After paying $134 for damages done to special study halls at the Annex, it looks as though the coffers of the class of ’53 will soon suffer a deficit of more than $200 unless someone recognizes his responsibility to his class- mates and to his school. All evidence uncovered so far definitely points to the Freshman Class as being responsible for the disappearance of a flag belonging to fhe Cavalry Squadron. The flag, valued in excess of $200, was given to the college by the A&M Mother’s Club some years ago. The banner is handmade and will be very difficjilt to duplicate. The Freshman Ball was the scene of the flag-lifting. The colors of the Cavalry Squadron, along with those of the T various other service branches, were displayed beside the wall in Sbisa Hall. Some freshmen (and officials have good reason to believe it was a freshman)! helped himself to /he ^n^g during the evening. ; . Perhaps the man who took the flag didn’t realize the consequence of his act. Perhaps he couldn’t foretell that his “innocent” bit of fun would lead to disgrace for the class of ’53. He.must have overlooked the fact that the Com-i mandant would question Annex adipinistralors and Fresh man Class officers n* an effort to locate the flag. ^What’s done is done. But maybe the man who has the flag hiS-^nough honor and “guts” to return it. Someone would-surel^see it, if it should turn up at the front steps of ’the Student Cenfbr-or maybe at the base of the flag pole. If th man who has-the flag is afraid of being caught, there ia certainly a way to return it without anyone know ing who had it. Wq don’t think the man should go unpun ished, but after all t tjie flag is what everyone wants. And we feel sure the raattej’ would be forgotten if the flag was re turned.

But the farmer knows that the real beginning of the harvest, is the first day of plowing. Furrows come before fields of golden grain. Without the labors of Spring there can be no sheaves in the Fall. The Greatest Teacher taught that. He said His Truth was like seed . . . some of it might fall on poor ground and die . . . but when it was sown in rich, well-plowed soil it would bring a fruitful harvest. Every Sunday our Churches plow deep furrows in the good soil of humanity ... so that God’s Truth can take root and grow . . . so that the world may realize its long- cherished hope, a harvest of peace and goodwill. But remember, the harvest begins with the plowing. Worship God in Church next Sunday!
