The climax of the three days of pleasure occurs Friday night in the Ross Vol- unteer Hop. This is preceded by the (Queen’s Ball Thursday evening and | followed by an informal dance Sat- urday evening. The Ross Volunteer organization is an honorary military company which dates back to the days when ‘gormer governor Ross was president at the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas. The members of this crack organization are selected for military ability and gentlemaniy qualities. - Throughout the years of its - efistence the Ross. Volunteers have “maintained their military and social-record, Only one exhibition drill is given each year, this coming at commence- ment.” It is doubtful if there are more than one or two better drilled organizations in the country at the present time. The commissioned staff is composed of W. T. Burns, Captain; T. A. Cheeves, First Lieu- tenant; S. Alexander and E. E. Mec- Quillen. Second Lieutenants. The Ross Volunteers represent the best spirit of A. and M. College and in addition to giving their annual spring Hop, give an exhibition drill each ‘year that is almost uneqaled in military circles. The organization is perpetuated by adding to its membership at the beginning of each school year a num- ber of Juniors and Seniors who have the best records of military, moral and scholastic competency. Any) member of the Ross Volunteers may recommend for membership as many of his friends as he desires and whom he thinks have the proper gualifications. His recommendations are then made to the organization and each applicant is voted upon sep- arately. /\ One dissenting vote cast by a single member is sufficient to) rejection; and this vote may be cast secretly without the name of the voter being disclosed. So to be a member of this organization a stu- dent of the College must be consid- ered a gentleman and a scholar of the highest standing. For this rea- son students accept membership in the R. V.’s as the greatest recogni- tion that can be paid them: by the student bedy. In addition to the exhibition drill given each year at commencement which is unsurpassed in military civeles the annual spring Hop is giv-: ‘en about April 21. : Expence is not considered by the ventures (Continued on Page 4) WORK OF DRAW- ING DEPARTMENT Students and Campus Residents May See This Exhibition on Display in the Library The attention of students and Campus residents is called to an ex hibition in the I.ibrary of the work of the Drawing Department of this College.

The College Band opened the pro- gram by playing several pieces that were greatly enjoyed by the assem- bly, and the Cast Iron Quartet gave three of the numbers that have al- ready made its name famous around the College and immediate vicinity. F. M. Law, President of the Tex- as Bankers’ Association, then pre- sented the medals to the Chicago Live Stock Judging Team that were bought by the Agricultural students The stage had been especially ar- ranger for this ceremony. The large bronze bull brought from the In- ternational Exposition and Live Stock Show by the team last fall as the trophy of the, contest won by them, and mounted on the pedestal recently constructed for it, occupied the center of the stage. Along the edge were mounted. the three silver cups won by teams at the South- . western Exposition and Fat Stock Show at Fort Worth in the last ten years. The six members of ‘the team, W. W. Derrick, W. B. Cook, W. T. Burns, D. L. Stevens, L. R. Reed and K. J.. Edwards, together with their coach, Wai. Stangel, were seated on the stage and as their names wero called by Mr. Law they approached the front and received their medals. In making the presentations, Mr. Law told the members of the team that they should receive their medals as more than a recognition of their merit as stock judgers and as a rec- ognition of what they had done for the College in honoring her name by winning in the contest at Chicago but as a token of the love and ap- preciation of the agricultural stu- dents.
