Woodward, our faculty advisers.
In athletics our heroes became valu-
able men. We did our part toward
winning State championship. We were
highly represented in the pep squad
and in the band. Robert William
was elected most military man. This
was the first time in the history of
the institution that a Junior had won
in the popularity contest.
One of the most novel and unique
affairs of the year was the Junior
class party at the gymnasium. An-

other outstanding affair was, the
Juniors' entertainment of the Seniors
with a garden party. The' Juniors
also sponsored a show, "As No Man
Has Loved," which proved to be very
successful.
The time soon came when we had
reached the height that we had dream-
ed of while we were Freshmen—we
were dignified Seniors. There were
only four students to come through
from the Freshman class, Waldo Wil-
cox, Max Menzies, Bern P, Allen, and
Mona Marie Graves. However, there
have been several to do four years'
work here. Still others who started
in as Freshmen and dropped out a
year are now back as Juniors.
• When the school opened this year
there were many of the old Juniors
back. We have nearly all been in
this institution together before. In
the early part of the year we met and
elected officers. Homan Gragg was
elected president, Bern P. Allen, vice
president; Mildred Howell, secretary,
and Hayden Edwards, J-Tac reporter.
Mi'. Rankin, one of our last year's
sponsors, was not here, and Mr, Hale
was elected in his place. Mr. Hale's
interest in this class is highly appreci-
ated by each member. This is the
fourth year Mrs. Woodward has been
with us as a sponsor, and we love her
dearly. She is one of the few who
would really care to indulge with us
in our sports, meetings, and pastimes.
She has always been ready to help us
and give us advice. As the Senior
class leaves this institution their
sweetest memory will be that of her
happy, pleasing character. We' are
very grateful to her and feel that it
has been her efficiency in organizing
the classes from year to year that
has made it the wonderful success
which it has proven to be.
In athletics we have been victorious.
Captain Menzies has played and
fought for Tarleton for four years on
the football*"team, and this year as
captain he led us to State champion-
ship. There were many other Seniors
on this squad. Soon, after the foot-
ball season came the basketball sea-
son^ Captain Starr is putting out all
he has' for Tarleton.
The Seniors are very proud of the
candidates they have put out for the
popularity contest. Max Menzies was
chosen best all-round boy, Bern P.
Allen most military man, and Lucile
Hearon best all-round girl.
We have not had many socials this
year, but there have been several
things planned. For instance, the
Senior Carnival is soon to be given.
Since those behind this are so capable
of putting things over in a great style,
we feel sure that it will be a "howl
ing" success.
Soon this year will be gone, the
same as many others. We will be
glad, but it makes us sad to think of
leaving Tarleton forever. The ties of
friendship have so bound our hearts
during these our college days that we
have become as one body. . "We have
come; we have met; and soon we will
be parting,"

ROY M. POINTER, Proprietor
The stock judging team is still
working out. They went over to
Mr, Miller's ranch, near DeLeon
and judged cattle all day Monday.
This is the way members of that
team spent their holiday. The
boys reported an enjoyable time.
Say, gang, did you know that
those boys are putting forth all the
effort and time they have to make
that team? They are going to Ft
Worth with the intention of win-
ning again this year. So, gang
let's get "behind" the boys and
show them that we are backing
them in stock judging as well as
we are backing the other boys in
other college activities.

WHY SHUN AGRICULTURE?
It is not a fact that everyone
who takes agriculture necessarily
has to follow a mule all his life.
It is possible that he may be on a
farm, and not at all improbable
that he might follow a mule some,
but he will be more efficient at the
job after having studied the course
than the fellow just before .him.
Agriculture is a large field, and
there are lots of possibilities in
this phase of work. It may seem
old, but it is not; from a scientific
standpoint agriculture is new, and
it affords lots of room for discov-
eries.
Agriculture does not mean that
a fellow works for a> low salary.
Take, for example, Ralph Hutchins,
a well known Agg student who
graduated here in '24 and at this
time has just received! his degree
from A. & M. College as a student
of agriculture. We know of one
$250.00 job Mr. Hutchins turned
down to come and work for Mr.
Wolfe here in his pecan nursery.
His salary here is unknown, but
you can gamble on his having a
good reason for accepting this pos-
ition.
Now, boys, think it over,
'27
J. T, A. C. FARM
When you say that the J. T. A.
C. farm is not a success—
Every potato slyly winks its eye;
Every beet gets red in the face;
Every oat field is shocked;
Corn stucks up its ears;
Every cabbage shakes its head;
Every onion feels stronger;
Rye strokes its beard;
Every foot of land kicks.
REID MASSEY AGAIN RE-
CEIVES PROMOTION
(College Station, Texas, Feb. 14.
—Among the recent promotions is-
sued by the commandant's office
appears the name of Sergeant R.
A. Massey of your city, who was
promoted to the grade of Second
Lieutenant in the cadet corps at
A. & M. College. ' This is the sec-
ond! promotion Mr. Massey has re-
ceived within the last four months
and this is very exceptional and is
the result of Mr. Massey's hard
work and unquestionable military
ability.
Mr. Massey came to A. & M. col-
lege from John Tarleton college in
September, 1925, and is now in his
second successful year in A, & M.
college. Such men will make
good,
I am sure Mr. Massey's friends
and admirers in and around Wal-
nut Springs will be glad to hear
of his recent promotion and trust
you will give it the needed publi-
city."—P. R. Johnson, 2nd Lieu-
tenant, Corps of Cadets, A. & M.

and the joy-friend
Prince Albert
WHEN my father was in college, "Put that m
your pipe and smoke it!" was considered snappy
conversation. I'm ready to take this old line
literally when the talk centers around Prince
Albert. Because P. A. makes two of what I
like in a pipe,
All wise-cracking aside, P. A. is the money
when it comes to deep-down satisfaction in ai
smoke. It's got everything! Cool as the trail
of the ice-man across the kitchen. Sweet as
vacation. Fragrant as a pine forest.
Think up your own similes. You'll write them
all in the column headed "Superlative Degree"
when you learn the joys of a jimmy-pipe and
Prince Albert. If you don't know this grand old
smoke, come around to my room and I'll give
you a load.
