THE DAILY BULLETIN Vol 3. College Station, Texas, Saturday, April 24, 1920. Number 176 QUEENS BALL FIRST AFFAIR OF R. V. FESTIVITIES Two Hundred Girls From All Par:s of Texas Here for the First Night of the Season Girls, girls, girls, forever there be girls, Ye queens of creation, and ever may ve get admiration, ve girls, girls, girls. The first night of the R. V. fes- tivities began Thursday evening at 9 o'clock and ended Friday morning at 3 a. m. It was a glorious and festive occasion and brought a new kind of enjoyment to A. and M. For the first time this school year Bernard Sbisa Mess Hall had its doors flung wide for the reception of the merrymakers, and ' long before ‘nine o’clock gold slippered and op- era cloaked misses accompanied by uniformed cadets and dress suited gentlemen streamed through the lighted doorway and the great hall rang with a chorus of voices, manly voices betraying an element of pride and soft voices introducing to the ears the sound of rippling waters and bird songs. Girls were there a hundred of them, hundreds of them, whom the manhood of A. and M. had recogniz- ed as outstanding beauties and have been brought here to help make the history of A. and M. R. V. spring- time. The grand march began at nine o'clock. Pickney Price as King of the Ball led the march with the queen of his choice, Miss Katheryn Rasberry of Dallas. Following him were, H. Oliver and Miss Lucile Price of Sherman, E. E. MecQuillen and Miss Mildred Norwood of Nawv- asota, W. T. Burns and Miss Ger- trude Ballard of Dallas. They led out the long line the total length of the two hundred and sixty foot hall; they doubled back and the line of couples extended twice the length of the hall; a third time they walked the complete length, and still there was no end in sight. Reaching the end of the Hall, the center line di- vided the couples turning alternately to the right and to the left and thus finally in one line almost five times the length of the long Hall in as many sections all were ineluded. They hecitated for a moment, and then as the colored orchestra from Memnvhis, Tennessee, struck up one of the strains that has made their fame reach from the Bast to College Station, IT began, and IT did net end until that hour usually spoken of so, breathlessly as 3 a. m., when phys- | N : . i ical exhaustion asserted its power over even the strength of the will, although this will was enhanced wy. an oblivious mind. Thus passed the Queen's Ball PROF. RIDGWAY IS INTERESTED IN EXTENSION WORK Will Take up His Work as County Agent of Cook County, June 1st, 1920. J. W. Ridgway, Head of the De- partment of Dairy Husbandry since its establishment in 1914, is sever- ing his connection with the College on June 1 to be employed jointly as county agent of Cook County and Secretary of the Commercial Club of Gainesville, Texas. He will devote his time towards bettering the agricultural conditions of the county through the proper organization of the farmers and in the encouragment of better produec- tion and marketing conditions. He is deeply appreciative of the pos- sibilities of Cook county as a live- stock county and will give special attention to the development of that phase of the work. As secretary of the Commercial Club his activities will be towards bettering the com- mercial industries of Gainesville, the stimulation of interest in civic and county improvements. He will be deeply concerned in the bringing about of a closer relationship between the business farmer and the busi- ness man with the idea in mind that each can prosper in his business only to the extent that the other pros- pers. Mr. Ridgway will leave A. and M. May 20. Upon his arrival at Gaines- ville he will attend a joint meeting of business farmers of that section and members of the Commercial Club for the purpose of becoming better acquainted with the men and outline a wolicy for the joint work. Mr. Ridgway is a man with an at- tractive personality that has made for him lasting friends of all those who have known him here. He is the very highest type of a man. Be- sides his excellent traits of character he has capabilities. He has applied these virtues of character and gen- ius in his work with the Dairy De- partment and he has made a won= derful success. Beginning with a very small a5: partment with little equipment sev- eral years ago he has developed the Dairy Husbandry Department inte the first class. The Department was given a val- uation of over fifty-two thousand dollars in the audit made at the close of 1919, divided as follows: Feed barn $700; bull barn -$250; experi~ ment shed, $200; mule barn, $530; two silos, $850; residences, $5, 000.00; test barn, $1,660.00; calf barn, $250.00; fences, $876.00; dairy barn, $13,200.00; *live” stock; $25.626. 00; machinery, 431800; 003 equipment, $557. 00. Although he “is being lost 16 fhe (Continued on Page 4) | scores, but here is the dope: THE TRACH TEAM IN AUSTIN TODAY FOR A DUAL MEET Coach Clutter Has a Well-Balanced | Team and Believes He Will Take the Honors Track Coach J. A. Clutter, anid eighteen healthy athletes of the cinder path left yesterday afternoon for Austin, Texas, for a dual meet with the Longhorn squad at Clark Field, today. Coach Clutter is very optimistic as to the outcome of this meet and while he did not hazard any guess as to the score, one could easily see by the twinkle in his eye that he believed very strongly that the Aggie cinder path aggregation would come out of this meet the win- ner, though it might be by a very small margin. Every man on the Aggie squad is in excellent condition with the ex- ception of Captain Hugon, an excel- lent 220 and 440-yard man, who has not recovered from a very unfor- tunate accident of several weeks ago when he sustained a very severe sprained ankle in the mix up inei-| dent to the Junior banquet; how- ever, coach Clutter believes he will be able to enter some of the events, though he is not yet certain just which of these events he will go in- to. Coach Clutter will probably enter Weir, Saunders, Riggs and Hugon in the 100-yard dash. In the 220-yd. dash Weir, Sanders, Riggs, Hugon and Harris will be entered and in the 440-yd. dash Sanders, Harris and Hugon will be his choice. In the 880-yd. run Hailey, Eubank and Works will try for first and seeond place, while in the one mile run Reynolds and Eubanks will contest for honors, and in the two mile run Lyneh, Reynolds and Hailey will up- hold A. and M. honors. In the 120 and 220-yd. hurdles Frazier and Denny will be the choice. Steele and Weir will do the broad jumping and Barmore and Steele the high jump- ing. In the pole vault Baremore, Mahan and Denny will enter and Keene and Mahan will put the sho, while Keen, Dinwiddie and Mahan will hurl the discus and throw the javelin. It has been some eight years sinee the Aggies defeated the Longhorns in a track event and this year offers an excellent opportunity since Clut- ter has a well balanced team. Very little can be gained by comparative Rice defeated Texas by ten points; Bay- lor defeated Rice by six points and Texas in turn beat Baylor by five points. All three teams, as well as the Aggies, have defeated S. M. UL. by big margins. More interest has Poe. taken ia) track this year than ever before in (Continued on Page 4) Creaty of Akron, MANY HOMES IN COLLEGE STATION OPENED TO GIRLS About Two Hundred Young Ladies Staying in the Homes of Col- lege People.
