“QUALITY FIRST’
Saturday, Nov. 10.
But his son Pat, daughter Mrs.
Jack Byrd and friends figure it
will be anticlimactic in view of
the Thursday doings.
Wearing a TAM-imprinted Ma
roon tie, Mr. Honaker ate birth
day cake, accepted a certificate
from Association of Former Stu
dents officials, posed for pictures
with relics from Texas A&M’s
17th class year and related expe
riences as an early A&M student.
Information he provided Uni
versity Archivist Dr. Charles
Schultz could revise some TAMU
history, such as the age of the
Ross Volunteers.
“I appreciate the fact that I
went to A&M and that the Aggies
have kept up with me,” the frail
and white-haired but mentally
sharp elder Aggie said. “I had
wonderful times at A&M and en
joyed it.”
He indicated a wistful interest
in attending the 1976 TAMU cen
tennial.
J. R. “Bob” Latimer, immediate
past president of the Association
of Former Students, presented
Honaker a certificate recognizing
his status and 100th birthday.
Association Field Director Tom
Nelson arranged the event. “Tex
as Aggie” Editor Jerry Cooper,
Schultz and Latimer called on Mr.
Honaker.
Mrs. Byrd said the oldest Aggie
awoke Thursday and told her,
“Today’s the day.” She disagreed,
reminding him Nov. 10 was his
birthday.
“No,” he stressed, “today’s the
day A&M comes.”
He attended Texas A&M when
Old Main, on the site of the Aca
demic Building; Stewards Hall
later renamed for President
Thomas S. Gathright, Pfeuffer
and Austin Halls, the Assembly
Hall and President’s Home were
campus buildings. Ross Hall was
being built. Honaker later lived
there.
Gov. Lawrence Sullivan Ross
was president. The student body,
all military, was organized in four
companies of 100 students each.
Students lived four to a room with
appointments including a single
electric light and wood-burning
stove for warmth. They majored
in either mechanics or agriculture,
taking courses such as shop, Eng
lish, chemistry, history and geo
metry. Tuition, fees, room and
board cost $400 a year, according
to Honaker.
Honaker rode the train in the
fall of 1892 (one a day each way)
from Farmersville to Texas A&M.
He chose Ihe college because “the
Pendleton boys were going. We
ran together from the time we
were young boys.”
Honaker was enrolled as a soph
omore, on the basis of a test and
his high school studies. He was
made a cadet corporal and pro
moted to sergeant for the next
24 YEARS
year. But he transferred toS®
western University at Georgi
because two cousins were eia
ed there. He completed studis
Central Business College at
dalia, Mo., in 1895.

of Honaker’s Pendleton
mates, was on hand forthelt
