The College Issues Its FIRST Annual and it is
Beauty.

The A. and M. College annual is out,
and it is thing of beauty. Because it is
issued by the Agricultural and Mechanical
College. It is called the ''Agromeck," and
it represents every phase Of life in our
great Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege. The book has pictures of all the
teachers, officers and students in the col
lege. There are faculty groups, class
groups. battalion groups, groups OF com
panies A, B, C, d, e and F, with special
groups of the commandant and staff, COM
missioned officers, sergeants and of the
corporals. Each member of the SENIOR
Glass has a separate cut with a brief
biographical sketch and poetlcal quota
ton anpropriate to the subject. The
Senior Glass Prophecy IS INITIATIVE OF Poe's
Raven and unite clever piece of humor.
The volume is much enhanced IN beauty
by the PORTRAITS of eight young ladies
chosen as sponsors. They are as follows:
Sponsor for the Battalion, Miss Mary
Haywood Andrews; for Company A, Miss
Ada Lee Boyer; for Company B, MISS
Bessie Poe Law; for Company G, Miss
Jennie Powell; for Company d, Miss
Katherine Spach; for Company e, Miss
Eugenia Lewis; for Company F, Miss

"Where were you last night?" pointed
question asked by Commandant Phelps OF
knee-shaking freshman, is a very hand
some cut as also is "a Test of Discipline, !"
designed by Cadet j. H. Parker. Indeed
all the cuts and caricatures in the book
are creditable and bespeak great future

Greek letter fraternities, all add interest
to the annual
One of the brightest things is the A. and
M. Alphabet, by Cadet j. A. Park. The
cadets deserve to be congratulated on the
success of the Agromeck. 1t is a very
handsome volume, one of the handsomest
college publications we have ever
seen. 1t is in every way worthy
of the college and the cadet battalion. 1t
is bright, snappy, and entertaining from
cover to cover. 1t is also clean and whole
some, free from anything to offend the
most delicate tastes. 1t is bound in the
college colors, red and white, and the cover
contains very handsome picture of the
main building.
