LUTHER HOWELL Sale City, Georgia
"Slim "
" For a better friend one must travel many leagues. "
Luther , alias Slim, was the only boy of the Senior Class and has served us as a good president. Slim was a shooting star in athletics. Many boys have left A. \\i M. with characteristics he does not possess, but few depart with the good opinion that he has made in the minds of his classmates, a good opinion that is an honor to him. We are anxious for yours to be a successful life after you leave college , Slim. You have the makings of a man of affairs.

''Tata "
"When a young lady is as mild as she is game and as game as she is mild. that ' s all I ask and more than I expect. She then becomes a queen, and that's what !JO!,l are, Clara. "
Just an all around girl! She is musical. one of our best student teachers: athletics at A. \';j M. are livelier because of her; the different organizations always find in her a ready hand to push forward. Although she vows that teaching is to be a permanent profession with her, she refuses to give an estimate of the number of her pupils. So charming and lovable a young lady will not be spared long to the prosaic profession of school teaching.

' 'The prospec t b e fore you is a brilliant one. all the honors to which great talent can help you in public life are in slore for you. "
There is a variableness about her manner which is extremely charming ·and renders her freshly lovely each time you meet her No masculine heart is safe when near her. for though she does not conscientiously will it so, she is dangerously bewitching. She is a happy combination of the traits of the butterfly and the anc- flippant , yet serious ; purposeful. yet courageous.

Volume 000 ?000? FEBRUARY 30. 2020 Priceless
Team Undefeated in Two Years
When A \'j M. and her girls fall in line," there ' s sure to be another victory for Aggie.
Hearts have thrilled, pulses raced and throats throb.,,bed as the familiar lines of the old school song esounded against the walls of the ball cou t. Ellaville. with courageous smiles and h peful hearts, , came down, but, poor dears, they went away with only eight points to A. \'j M.'s sixtyone.
Proud Richland was not to be discouraged by another's score, so they kindly invited the sextet over, only to be walloped, I 8 to 6.
Brave Smithville came with a fighting spirit, but was crushed in the first quarter , leaving the remainder of the game for mere practice.
Plains had defeated Smithville. so they felt quite prepared. As a rule the Aggies are not nervous, so to keep their •'rep" they gathered up their forces and walked off with 26 to 15.
News of this undefeated aggregation reached as far as Peach County and Ft. Valley came down by invitation. The day for the match brought rain, but it did not leave Ft. Valley at home. So determined were they that they breezed in on the " Dixie Flyer
Again the Blue and Gold showed their colors , but the "Peaches" were good sports and invited their opponents to repay the visit.
J. M. Prance. President of the local A £1 M. School, in a statement issued today , said that the students were devoting entirely too much time to their class work. He said that he could not urge ' too strongly that they enter the social whirl of Americus , devoting all of their time, thought and energy to having a brillant social season.
Plains was again taken into the A. t1 M. camp to the tune of 20 to 6
The team had never played on the I 3th. but on Saturday. February 13th. they journeyed up to Ft. Valley in high spirits. knowing of course that they would win. Things began going from bad to worse and in a half - daze the girls from Americus worked through the game. ending with the score of I 0-10. They did not win butrhey did not lose. They are still, after two years of hard playing, the "Invincibles."

Though it may not be perfection It seems to us a good old nest. We have made our good selection From families of the very best.

And the azure sky above, Our campus stands in splendor, A thing for us to love.

QUINTET ENDS SUCCESSFUL SEASON
Basketball Team Outplays Leslie in Tournament.
The A. f1 M. boys' basketball team of 1926 can not say that it was not defeated, but it can be said that it won more victories than any previous team turned out at this institution. It is a team that has learned to take defeat like good sports, and the college is proud of its record.
Coach Fox inspired the boys to put everything they had into the game and to always play hard and squarely. Captain Jacobs lead the team to many victories. Ross covered the floor with lightning-like rapidity, while Stubbs and Griffin drew much applause from the cheering sections. Howell, leading the team in points, was selected all-star center at the conclusion of the annual tournament.

BANQUET ENDS SOCIAL SEASON
Football Team Hosts at Affair
December 19, 1925.
(Special to the "Aggievator")
One of the most brilliant affairs of the social season took place last night when the members of the football team were hosts at a banquet given in the college dining hall. Each dashing hero escorted thz lady of his choice and the Parisian evening gowns presented a perfect rainbow of color.
Since this is the last affair on the social calendar before the students return home for the holidays, everyone was in a gala mood and joy ran rampant. Several impromptu solos and talks were rendered, much to the embarrassment of the performers, but much to the delight of the audience.
Hollis Fort proved to be one of the most delightful toastmasters who ever presided over an A. M. banquet. He succeeded in keeping everyone in a hilarious mood. It was announced that Nelle Prance and Estelle Methvin had been elected as sponsors for the 1926 football team.
All good things must end, so after a most attractive dinner, the couples promenaded slowly over to Wheatley Hall. the latter part probably proving to be a fitting climax to the evening.
HALLOWE'EN PARTY PROVES SUCCESS
On Friday night, October 31st, should you have been a visitor at the A. M. Auditorium no doubt you would have been surprised to see the numerous ghosts and goblins all over the place. They all seemed in the best of humor and were having a grand time.
(Continued in next column)
Even Shorter Dresses Are Seen
The members of the Sidney Lanier Society were delightfully entertained by the Philomatheans on Saturday evening, December 12th, with a kid party given in the dining hall.
As short dresses and socks are in at present , the girls, with a few changes, were soon ready for this event and tramped gaily into the hall with all the spirit and gaiety of days. vogue minor happy dining former
But, alas! the boys were very much disturbed as this is the day of Oxford Bags, but after much difficulty they succeeded in finding the necessary costume for the occasion.
A prize was offered to the girl and the boy making the most kiddish appearance and Bertha Kate Snyder and "Sunshine" Stapleton were the lucky winners.
"Lollypops" were given all the good kids to carry home as souvenirs.
(Halloween Party continued)
All the ghosts enjoyed many unusual games and stunts. Finally, as daylight was appearing, the ghosts and goblins knew it was time to depart, as it would never do for the sun to see them playing on the "Aggie" campus. Hastily snatching some of the delicious refreshments, they made a hurried farewell and departed.
Last-but not least-all the girls and boys were late to breakfast the next morning. Moral: Too much party and too much to eat.

To the F aculty of ' 26
First on the list com es Mr. Prance . Whom in Geometry makes us dance
Then there's Miss McNeil
And off the English she can speel. Little boy Lawrence is next , Who takes science for his text. Nothing is Ma Hinson's fate. Not even Alexander the Great. Dad Comer will always do us a favor. That ' s why we call h:m our lifesaver.
The sewing teacher , Miss Wells, Has French in everything she tells.
Our secretary , Miss Wall. Without her we would fall. Then there is Mrs. Clark, In the kitchen she does park Mr. Fox was last to come,
But we can pronounce his work well done
To all the faculty we wish much success, Not only them , but all the rest.
A. P. K.
We're a band of lo ving schoolmates. Bound by friendship's golden chain, So we ·teagued ourselves together, Hoping that we shall remain . And our friendsh :p we will never, In the days tha t are to come, Let it die or let it sever , As it has been done by some Estelle Methvin is a jolly girl.
On her face there is a bright smile . Elizabeth doesn't like the whirl, But she keeps smiling all the while.
Mary Pearl. w·th a heart so true
And a sparkling bright blue eye.
We trust they'll bring good gifts to you.
These years that so swiftly fly.
Georgia has a name of conceit ,
But we don't think it is ri g ht.
We know Janilu can ' t be bea t, Cause she strives with all her might
We think " Gater " is the best alI around .
You don't know h im as we do.
If you did you would be bound
To think the same- for ' tis true

A loving girl is Claribel
And when her school days all end , She'll bid to ''Aggie' ' a fond farewell
And pledge a hand to many a friend.
Oh ! Sunshine is a gallant lad
And lives right up to his name,
He's never blue-he's always glad,
Some bright day he'll win great fame.
With three Christines our class is blessed,
And of them we are very proud.
Cause they are three among the best
And they are always with the crowd.
And lo! Henry is with us here,
A good looking man is he.
And Ernest gives a wish of cheer
That we might meet with victory.
Louise is the completest
Of all the girls I know , And Mary is the neatest
Of either my friend or foe.
A red haired boy is in our class.
En wood , Etheredge is his name.
Monroe Smith his exams does pass
Cause he has a very high aim.
Lillian Wolf is another one.
Whom to look at is to adore.
Bill Heys likes to have h's fun. I am sure he likes to study more. We have two Ruths in our class. They are smart as they can be.
If them you are anxious to surpass. You'll have to work hard. Oh gee !
Sara is little, but she is wise. She has plenty of sense, too Virginia always says she tries, 'Tis good to be honest and true.
Mildred Murray is so reserved, Her voice is sweet and low.

Mr. Prance: Jack, you are a pig. Do you know what a pig is?
Jack: Yes, sir , it ' s a hog's little boy.
Mrs. Mathis: I see we have a new face in the room this morning.
Charlie Frank: No ' m. It's the same one I have had all the time. I've just washed it.
The Freshman Class of '26 Is mighty hard to be e t: They get a lot of knocks and kicks , But still stand on the r feet.
Of all the boys in our class The fir.st is Robert Carter: In ' Rithmetic he does surpass, He always works the harder.
Mack Cannon is the next on the roll, And smart as he can be , His tongue he has at h is con ~rol, The very thing, you see.
James Dupree is the smallest one, And no one can deny it; Algebra is to him but fun, He always will stand by it.
Ferman and Hoke are full of fun, In books they see no beauty; Before their fun is half begun They have some extra duty.
The most mischev'.ous one is Ed, Who never has a book, For help he knows to look to " Red, " Who is surely not a crook.
C. W. is an all around boy: He is always right on hand. Joe Hall h:s school work does enjoy: He does the best he can,
Frank and Hubbard play football And help to win the game, Although they can not win them all, They fight 'ti! they are lame.
The Freshman Class has two tall Johns , John Raney and John Murray: Of these two boys we are very fond, They are never in a hurry.
Preston's name beg ins with a P , We are going down the line.
And all the teachers say thot hz Is doing very fine.

Frances is a jolly old girl And loved by everyone; Where' er you see her in this world You'll know her work is well done.
A fine old girl is Earnestine, Cooking is her aim; We bet her kitchen is a dream, When she has changed her name.
A little girl who brings her lunch , We all call her Florence: Her choice teacher of the bunch ls Mr. Cordell Lawrence,
The greatest class of all the school, The Freshman of '26: When all the hard times come along, Together we will stick.
Waitresses dedicate this to the tables: "Do not ask for applesauce. Do not ask for cake or cream. Do not ask for any article That's nowhere to be seen."
Ed Heys stood on the burning deck, So far as we could learn. Stood there in perfect safety; He was too green to burn.
Ma Hinson: What is a star?
Paul: A fellow that stays out late at night and looks pale in the morning.
In this trigonometry class I sit, Gawd, how I want to spit, But I must swallow if I can , This tobacco like a man.
Henry Morrison: I think it's a shame that we can't go to all the basketball games that come here. Any man who would keep the boys away from a game tonight ought to be kicked to death by a donkey, and T would like to be the one to do it.
Mrs, Clark: Children if milk doesn't agree with a child boil it
