DEDICATION
1n appreciation of his outstanding service aqd his constant con.sideration of the students, we the staff of the 1945 Mulerider dedicate this edition of the Mulerider to our loved and respected president, Charles A. Overstreet, who has resigned his position after 24 years of faithful service.
Between these covers we have attempted to picture all phases of the life on Aggie Hill that you would like to remember. In our endeavors to publish this year-book in such troublous .times we have faced many problems. But we submit this warbaby to you - you for whom the M ulerider is p.ublished, and hope that in the recording of school activities and personalites you may recall
. friendships and scenes of your school days that might otherwise have been forgotten. Also we hope you will not be unmindful of those who would have been here to share these experiences were they not serving as fighting Yanks all over the world.
To the purpose of satisfying you we have worked; so here it is -The '45 Mulerider. Tear it apart!
-The Staff

HENRY GLADNEY
Due to prevailing conditions brought about by the war, athletic compe
tition was limited to a local and intramural scope. Henry Gladney served as
Physical Education instructor for the men until Mrs. Byrn resigned due to ill
health. After her departure, he conducted the entire P. E. program for the
college.
The men'-s P. E. class was divided into two competitive groups. These
groups pitted their ability against each other in all phases of intramural ath
letics. The program was started ,with touch-football. This provided an inter
esting as well as a body building sport. Later came basket-ball. A better
than average team was organized by the boys. The team entered in several
competitions with surrounding high schools and independent teams. The
result was gratifying. The first game was played in the Emerson Gym. The
hosts proved too much for the inexperienced Aggie team. Those, whose per
formance was outstanding in this game were Billy Morgan, Morgan Moore,
and David Thomas. In the latter half, Billy Morgan began to get the range
of the basket, but the final whistle stopped our winning burst short of victory.
The following week, the Muleriders met Emerson on our own court.
a close and thrilling first half, the result of more practice began to tell.
After
The
Basketball Team
Morgan, Jackson, Robbins, Thomas, Lowe, Chambers, Howard, Autrey, Moore
boys from Aggie Hill nosed their opponent out by a close margin. Consistent
scoring on the part of Billy Morgan and Morgan Moore, combined with out
standing teamwork by the rest of the team, provided a thrilling encounter for
all spectators.
The Muleriders met Magnolia High school on the opponents court the
following week. The boys were slow getting warmed up, but were able to
defeat the boys in red after a slow and unpredictable game.
Again, A. & M. met Emerson in Emerson. The team experienced the same
difficulty on the foreign court as they did the first time. Our cagers were
again defeated. This proved to be our last game on the Emerson court.
Emerson returned the game and the boys from Cross played one of their
most outstanding games of the year. It was a game packed with thrills from
start to finish. All members of the team demonstrated outsanding performance.
Boxing
Bass, O'Dell, Towns, McMasters, Cobb
The visiting team was defeated by a wide margin.
Magnolia and Stephens High Schools were played and defeated on the
Armory floor the following week.
The boys in the blue jerseys met and easily defeated McNeil in a two
game series. Scoring was outstanding on the part of all the team.
The Garland Independent team provided the first tough opposition for the
local team. The first of a four game series was played in the Armory. The
experienced and capable visitors showed us how basketball is playeq. Their
fast breaking offense and tight zone defense proved too much for the Aggie
men. Garland took all four games of the series.
Also included in the men's program were softball, cross country runs,
tumbling, gymnastics, boxing, calisthenics, and baseball. The baseball team
played only one game, defeating Magnolia High in a late inning rally.

Basketball The girl's physical education program of '44 and '45 was under the super
vision of Mr. Henry Gladney.
Basketball and volleyball were the two main sports during the winter
months. Along with the major sport, a few minutes was taken up with calis
thenics .
During the warmer months badminton, tennis, softball, and archery were
the main sports. The girls athletics during the past year were in program
form, each sport being carried on at various periods in order to furnish variety
enough to please all participants.
Physical education is required of both freshman and sophomore students
who have a choice of team sports, individual sports or social and folk dancing.
One hour of each during the two years is required with an extra hour of a ny
sport selected by the student.

• Hello! You bet we can take care of you. Anything you need in farm equipment help is right down our alley. Sure we have parts-a big stock of genuine IHC parts. And if we're out of the one you need we'll get it quick.
What day do you want your work done? O.K., that's a deal. We'll get it out on time for you. When you can let us know ahead we'll always schedule the job to suit you.
Farmalls? Yes, they're beginning to come in faster now. Mostly the "H" and "M" models. We'll be glad to work out a proposition with you. Anytime we can help on tractors or any McCormick-Deering equipment we'll do our best. Stop in and we'll get down to cases. Glad you called.
