friends who will be graduated from high school in January
will be choosing NOW the college they will enter for the
Spring semester.

You like the comradeship, the spirit that typify A&M.
You like the high scholastic standards, for you know that

standards. You like the unmatched opportunity that you
have at A&M to make friends. These are just a few of the
things you like.
Your Friends Will, Too
So give them a chance to see what A&M is like. Invite

the MSC. And, above all, tell them what A&M means to
YOU. Then urge them to come to A&M this Spring. They’ll
like you for it, they’ll like A&M, and you’ll like having your
home town friends with you. Invite them down, TODAY!
