AT SNAPPY MEET. ro —— (Continued from Page 1.) troductions were made, each man in turn rising and giving his name and —Co. Demonstration Agent—Denton, Texas;” which being explained and enlarged upon means this: That G. D. Everett spent four years at A. & M. hunting bugs; that his class con- tained 17 other addicts to that strange put fascinating sport; and tha. ... Is now employed by Denton County to assist transient agents in demonstrat- ing their wares. Following the introductions, organ- ization of a Denton County A. & M. Club was effected and Scott Alexand- er was elected President; W. B. Mont- gomery of Pilot Point, Vice-President; and Gaither R. Tomlinson, Secretary and Treasurer. The selection of of ficers was a wise one with the ex- ception of the Secretary-Treasurer, who is not accustomed to handling large sums of money. This opinion was held by all present, as was evine- ed by the overwhelming defeat of a motion that he be alldéwed an expense fund of 60 cents to pay for the mail- ing of the Club meeting notices during the ensuing year. When the excitement of the election died down D. X. and Ike—both ‘dols of every A. & M. man for the past ten years—made brief but eloquent addresses outlining the wonderful growth and expansion of the College; Mr. Bible, touching upon the greatly improved athletic possibilities of the College and its development of ath- letic training features, and Mr. Ash- burn referring to the great work of the Ex-Students Association especial- taining for the Faculty Department Heads of the College, men of outstand- ing merit in their particular fields, and to the praiseworthy resuits it has attained in its Student Loan Act- ivities. It was decided that regular .aeet- ings of the Club would be held the second Monday evening each month and upon a suggestion by President Alexander, it was agreed that the next meeting be in the nature of a barbecue to be held at Lunn’s Lake. Paul B. Dunkle offered to furnish for the oc- casion a goat that was always butting into his affairs, and his offer was ac- cepted before he had time to exinlain that he was joking.
