LUKE BALLARD
CHOSEN PRESIDENT
OF WACO AGGIES
Following Observance of San Jacinto
Day McLennan County Aggies
Elect Officers.
(By Luke Ballard)
The famous “Aggie Spirit” went
on a rampage in the Palace Garden
Room of the Raleigh Hotel at 7:30
p. m. Monday night in the annual
celebration of the San Jacinto Day
banquet of the McLennan County
Former Students A. & M. Club.
One hundred former students and
their friends, wives and sweethearts
The
program was opened by singing the
Star Spangled Banner. Mr. Adams
cf Comanche, father of Dr. Rufe
Adams, ’10, gave the invocation.
The Aggie Serenaders”
then cracked down on the Aggie war
were present for the banquet.
“Texas
hymn and pandemonium broke loose.
Once quiet was established it was
quickly disturbed when “Red” Tay-
lor lead the old College yells, such as
‘Execution” and “Hit 'm Hi,” ete.
Speakers were chosen at random
at the discretion of the toastmaster,
adding much to the family reunion
spirit so desired by the program com-
mittee. Formality was not even in
the building, much less in the room.
Col. Abe Gross was called by the
toastmaster for the heavy speaking
of the evening and in his elegant and
stirring manner reviewed Texas his-
tory, the history of Old A. & M. to
the point of making the air tense
with that old-time fighting spirit of
the College.
There were vocal solos by Mrs. W.
LeRoy Talley accompanied by Mrs.
Alexander Dollins, wife of another
~ Ex, and by Mrs. Elsie Balsingame ac-
companied by Mfrs. Olive Redmond.
Quiet again was finally restored by
the toastmaster and E. P. Hunter,
chairman of the nomination commit-
tee, was called on for his report.
After much explaining of the pitfalls
and hardships administered on the
committee by the numerous candi-
dates he announced the nominations
as follows: Luke Ballard, ’05, presi-
dent; Edmund Taylor, ’14, vice presi-
dent; W. E. Allen, ’12, secretary;
Walter G. Lacy, ’96, treasurer. The
board of directors in addition to the
above named officers are Robt. J.
Potts, Tom F. Oliver, R. O. Faires,
Dr. J. E. Quay, N. W. Dansby, B. R.
McConnell, John B. Barnes, Abe
Gross, E. R. Eudaly, F. E. Monroe,
and C. H. McGarity.
A dance followed, the “Texas Ag-
gie Serenaders” from College Station
furnishing the music. The old and
young could not resist and soon the
joy was again in full swing, dancing,
singing, and yelling as in the days
when we were on the campus.
At midnight as a compliment to
the Kansas City Chamber of Com-
merce on its annual southern tour,
being entertained by the local Rotary
Club and Chamber of Commerce, the
Aggies presented the Texas Sere-
naders, relieving their orchestra from
Kansas City and when the Texas
Serenaders cracked down on the real
thing the riot broke loose and the
wee small hours of the morning were
imposed on in joyous mirth and
dancing.
The entire program was broadcast
by the Jackson Radio Station and no
doubt many were listening in.
Some of those in attendance were:
H. 8S. Clark, Dr. J. E. Quay, Wm. E.
Miencher, Mr. and Mrs. Tongate, H.
C. Nolen, Mr. and Mrs. O. K. John-
son, Robert E. Blake, N. W. Dansby,
J. M. Martin, Smith Gaines, Walter
Crippen, T. E. Hubby, Jr., Chester
A. Luckett, R. O. Faires, Mr. and
Mrs. Geo. E. Byars, Mr. and Mrs.

lor, R. D. Crawford, Mr. and Mrs.

member, Price Mills, John Barnes,

Munro, W. H. Kophel, E. R. Eudaly,

Rufe Adams, Mrs. Rufe Adams, Mr.
and Mrs. Tom Oliver, Oliver W.

Violet Gross, F. E. Adams, Com-
manche, Dr. Hunter Styles, Mr. and

DALLAS AGGIES.
Dear Editor Hon Aggie:
With many exploshuns I ask to be
excused. Have occupied my grand-
mothers bedstead since the week be-
fore week before last with great in-
flamation along top side of food ele-
vator. With much exaggeration in
more exclusive district, my tonsils
convey alarm to brain and slither to
optical organs, that all is not well as
should be.
~ With barefeet and vocal cords I
holla excitedly through telafone at
unseen MD. Phys. DD., who snuggest
it would be better for me to decline
usc of telafone and stick my august
cranium on wrong side of window
light and communicate thusly. Hon.
MD. report conflagration have spread
with leaps and hops to top story. “I
will send 14$ pink pills & 208$ Cap
Sules for comptrol these,” he ampu-
tate.
Before I reach my grandmuther’s
bedstead, emergency corps of infant
policeman’s in chop-suey-bowl hat
and brass buttons come to knock my
door down, which I circumspect by
opzning same and letting small cops
in, head in front of his chin. With
offers to kindly kill myself, which I
detline, he hand me 14$ pink pills &
20$$ Cap Sules and with Fujayama
expression depart.
MD. arrive in top silk hat and
whiskers. “I ask to know, this from
me,” why are I cumpelled to con-
sume 14$ pink pills & 208$ Cap
Svles?” “Oyez, thats fine for you.
Hc resign, “You have couple dozen
nuts loose and don’t hit but by mabe
two carburetors, but, when you fin-
ish taking 148% pink pills, which are
really scientific ballbearings for giz-
zards; 208$ Cap Sules, which are
Doheny brand manufactured by Tea
Pot Doughme, you will feel oil right.
I stand gast for that phenomenal.
While in this condition, MD. col-
lect 50$$$$ and go backwards to
door, bending his polite stummick at
me and with sweetly smiling, shut
same in my face.
When my consciousness come back,
I get lonesome sitting in my grand-
muther’s bedstead all by my own per-
sonality. I start reading Hon. Aggie.
I see, I read, I arise uply like spirit
of skyrocket with comedy expression
and great cheers. Christianly inclin-
ed bootlegger, catty-corner down my
hall, call MD.
“Oh,” I narrate nervely, “I are
broke out in print” showing him ar-
ticle in Hon. Aggie entitled “Yes, We
Want More.” “Sainted Mackerel”
he denounce, “these are serious col-
lapse.” “Joys among my soul, I are
proud of my little accomplishment,”
I reject with indignant. “But you
cannot make Author Reputation with-
out some book knowledge in your
skull,” he commute. ‘Can’t I now?”
I say sourcastly. “I are very ad-
vanced. I do not believe in any
school but my own and these are
August Texas A. & M., who give me
book information plenty, and, Hon.
Aggie have now give me Grade “A”
Reputation, by which I are now Au-
thor.
“Are it possible any ignoramulous
jassack can get to be Author without
knowing more than you don’t,” he
faint and walk away from me look-
ing disgusted.
Hoping you are the same,
Yours very truly,
PETER PAN.
POST MORTEM:
These are not commutation of
newsly items, but, Love Note of faith-
fulness. By excuse of excitement
recorded I have had company and
missed last one or two A. & M. lun-
cheons. My guest, influenza, and I
stayed at home and let the remainder
of universe pass beyond. With ten
pounds raw meat, 36 hen fru2it, and
1 bbl. sweet milk daily, with many
other fodder I should be able to
scamper about picking up news to
send thee in a few days.

S. A. Patrick, ’76, had the honor
of being the oldest graduate at the
meeting. Mr. Patrick is now in the
auto supply business at Tulsa and a
staunch supporter for the college.
H's brother A. T. Patrick, an attor-
ney is also very active, in the Asso-
ciation work.
Jess Scarbrough, ex ’08, one of the
star football men at the College dur-
ing his time was very much on hand
for the Tulsa meeting. He is with
the Cosden Oil & Gas Company.
Texas Bateman, ’14, another grid-
rion star is now in charge of athle-
tics at Sand Springs High School. He
is grooming several high school men
to be future Aggies.
Cap Murrah, hero of the Texas and
Centre games in 1921 was very much
in evidence. Cap is still true to his
first love, playing professional foot-
ball in the fall and playing billiards
at Bartlesville in the winter months.
Sid Miley, ’19, “born and reared in
Bastrop,” is with an independent oil
company at Bartlesville. He now has
a family of four.

Jas. M. Flinchum, Calvin, Okla.
R. C. Hoppe, Box 956, Bartlesville,
“Hootch Inspector” for the U. S. gov-
ernment, stationed at Little Rock,
Arkansas. His duties keep him in
Tulsa the greater part of the time,
however he was not detailed to cover
the A. & M. meeting.
Bob Carruthers, ’22, with the Twin
State Oil Company at Tulsa, was un-
able to be at the meeting. Bob is
still the conscientous Bob of old and
spends most of his time in the field.
J. M. Burkett, ’16, has proven one
of the most active A. & M. men any-
where. Since the Tulsa meeting he
has signed several men around Bar-
tlesville and writes in for*more notes.
He is with the Empire Gas & Fuel
Company.
H. E. Hanna, ’05, elected president
of the Northeastern Oklahoma Aggie
Club was captain of the first baseball
team at the college to defeat Varsity.
He is in the lumber and real estate
business here. Batting about .1000
in this league.
M. H. Kotzebue, ’14, is now super-
intendent of the Tulsa Boiler & Ma-
chinery Company. It was largely due
to the efforts of Kotzebue that the
Tulsa meeting was such a huge. suec-
cess.
A. A. Rasmussen, ’20, has been
transferred from St. Louis to Bartles-
ville by the Johns-Manville Company.
He and Kike Landa, ’19 , are very
prominent in the social life of the
Empire City.
J. C. Red Underwood, ex ’15, with
the Republic Supply Co. was only re-
cently married to Miss Olive Gal-
lagher of Wylie, Texas. The boys
will stay true to the Lone Star State.
A. S. Johnson, ’22, is with the Sun
Oil Company at Yale, Oklahoma. He
reports that F. E. Buchan, 22, will
soon be associated with him in the
work.
J. M. Flinchum, ’14, came all the
way from Calvin, Oklahoma, for the
Tulsa meeting. Distance means lit-
tle to an A. & M. man when such
meetings take place. Flinchum was
another football star at the College.
A suggestion to A. & M. men ev-
erywhere. If possible get an Aggie
for your boss. In case you get too
enthusiastic in the Association work
many of your failures will be over-
looked.
Kotzebue says:
“McReynolds is no longer known
as the Corporal Beauty but as the
Biond Sheik of Tulsa, however de-
spite offers from the movies he re-
fuses to leave the Tulsa Boiler &
Machinery Co., whose engineering de-
partment is 100 per cent A. & M.”
“S. L. Spence’s loyalty to Texas
A. & M. can never be questioned as
he postponed his regular Safurday
night date from 7:00 p. m. to 10:00
p. m., no other organization has been
able to break in for a minute.”

AGRICULTURAL STUDENTS STAGE
~ BIG SPRING PARTY EFFECTIVELY
A very delightful event of the Col-
lege year took place in the rooms of
the Architectural Department on the
fourth floor of the Administration
Building, recently, recently under
the auspices of the Architectural
Club, a student organization whose
mebership comprises all undergrad-
uates of the department.
This club meets regularly during
the year to combine social interests
wih the consideration and discussion
of architectural subjects of a techni-
cal nature. It has become customary
to make one of the meetings each
year especially interesting with spe-
cially invited guests and carefully ar-
ranged program, and this yearly
meeting has grown to be a much an-
ticipated and long remembered fea-
ture.
This year invitations were design-
ed by the members announcing the
affair as a “Fete de 1’Atelier” and
the preparations made were more ex-
tensive and ambitious than ever.
The entire Architectural Depart-
ment was given over for the en-
tertainment of the guests. The Li-
brary and corridor were hung with
the designs and drawings of the stu-
dents of past and present classes, the
office became a ladies dressing room,
the freshman draughting room a serv-
ing room, and the large room at the
north end of the building, which nor-
mally accomodates the draughting
classes of the sophomores, juniors
and seniors, became the Salon in
which the guests were entertained.
The walls were hung with rich
tapestries, rare rugs, and paintings,
contributed by Bryan friends of the
club officers, furniture of definite
period classification, pedestalled casts
of classic sculpture and palms com-
pleted a colorful setting of a truly
| architectural character.
The program was in the nature of
a period costume dinner dance, with
courses served between the numbers
and cabaret features occupying the
intervals. Piano and vocal solos, in-
terpretive dancing and tableaux viv-
ants of classic poses provided contin-
uously varied entertainment during
the entire evening.
The costumes were especially ef-
fective, the guests conforming to the
idea of period expression in costume
with a most sympathetic interpreta-
tion and charming effect and the
club members contributing to an at-
mosphere of studio life with colored
atelier smocks, Tam o’Shanter caps
and Windsor ties.
Patronesses of the evening were
Mrs. Sarah Bizzell, Mrs. W. B. Biz-
zell, Mrs. Grover Sangster, Mrs. C.
C. Todd, Mrs. E. J. Kyle, Mrs. E. B.
LaRoche, Mrs. Floy Dansby, Mrs. M.
B. Parker, Mrs. F. O. Martin, and
Mrs. W. A. Duncan.
Out-o-town guests who came par-
ticularly to attend the dance were
Miss Weltha Baker of Paris, Miss
Harryette Amsler of Hempstead,
Misses Maude Barry, Carry Lott,
Catherine Zay Bowen, Elizabeth Kil-
patrick, Louise Taylor and Elizabeth

licent Sheridan and Miss Ann Mar-
shall of Austin, Miss Minna Belle

An interesting letter from Leonard
A. Byron, ’22, who is with the Chile
Exploration Co. of Tocopilla, Chile,
makes us believe more than ever,
“Once and Aggie, always an Aggie.”
He says that in the American Colony
down there, of about fifty men, he is
the only man from south of the
Mason-Dixon line; but they all know
that Texas is represented, and are
rather familiar with the front pages
of the Dallas News, Star Telegram,
and the Aggie. He admits that some
of the Aggie sport headlines have
been a bit disappointing at times, but
vows .that many such years of bad
luck would have to pass before he
would lose faith in the Aggies. He
says that the northern part of Chile
is not as bad as it is sometimes paint-
ed, but it is no Garden of Eden, a
drop of rain or a green tree would
be a very unusual sight for many of
the natives. Incidentally Byron sends
in his check so that he will be sure
not to miss a copy of the Aggie.
