JUNE RINGS UP MANY WEDDINGS FOR AGGIE EXES Lots of Old Timers Capitulate to the Thinly-Clad Lad in Month of Weddings. Almost daily has come the an- nauncement of the wedding of some old Agggie during the warm, tender month of June. Even “Old Folks” Jim Bradford felt the spell of the month and yielded gracefully to Cu- pid’s call. Among the announcements and invitations received are: k kk Miller-Keisler. The mariage of Hermann E. Mil- ler, 16, of Bellville, to Miss Zelma Loraine Keisler, has been announced by the bride’s father. The wedding occurred at Huntsville on June 6th. Mr. and Mrs. Miller are making their home at Bellville. kk ck Prickett-Links. Paul S. Prickett, 22, who at last accounts was finishing up his work at Cornell University, was married on the evening of June eighth to Miss Dolores Links, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Links, Sr., of New Orleans. Paul wrote THE AGGIE saying that he was forsaking the role of “woman hater” for that of a happily married man. He failed to state where he would make his home and what his job would be, so we suppose that he must be back on the job at Cornell. EE I Brown-Hunt. Benjamin F. Brown, 23, alias “Rev- eille” Brown, is now the husband of Miss Mary Estelle Hunt, the marriage having been celebrated on June fif- teenth at Grapevine. Mrs. Brown is the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Hunt of Grapevine.

AGGIE ATHLETIC HEROES FINISH BRIGHT CAREER Farmer Teams Next Year to be Fill- ed With New Faces as Veter- ans Turn in Uniforms last Time. When September rolls around this year many faces, familiar to A. and M. athletic followers. for the past three years, will be missing. A new crop will be coming on and new nam- es and faces and figures must be learned. Bible and Rothgeb lose heavi- ly from their gridiron stock of heroes. “Mule” Wilson, “Bob” Berry, “Mick- ey’ McGuire, Taro Kishi, “Bdefy” Beutel, Norman Dansby, “Bones” Ir- win, Bill Ochterbeck, Henry Eitt, John Brazelton, C. D. Speed, and “Dusty” Wylie. Their places next year are wide open and who knows who will be the next star to twinkle in their footsteps and draw the plaudits of the throngs. Bible suffers loss, too, from his bas- keteers. Sid Kyle will be gone from center and Johnny Broad from guard. Their places will be filled with men now unknown and unheard of. Rothgeb’s baseball squad is lightly handled by the benevolent Father Time. His scythe removed only Kyle, Williams and Koerth. The latter, one of the Farmer’s most dependable toss- ers will be difficult to replace, but new men will come. Frank Anderson loses heavily, too. “Mule” Wilson, sprinter de luxe, will no longer stamp the cinder-path. “Doc” Killian will be missing from the relay team as well as the cross- country team. Captain Gordon Gilles- pie will be gone from his two mile event and from the cross-country squad. “Doc” Johnson will no longer step the half mile and Bowen will be gone from the mile. The yearly toll is unusually heavy this spring. To meet it there is the best incoming group of “Fish” in the history of A. and M. It’s hard on the old boys, who have to learn all the new names over. But they’ll come to you gradually, and two years from now you may be yelling for “Burgess” or “Bisagnio” or “Petty” or some other youngster whose name today is a mystery to you. M. C. KLEUSER, ’10, ENTERS ARCHITECTURAL FIELD WITH OWN COMPANY LJ Having wound up the construction of the twenty-two story Republic Bank building at Dallas, M. C. Kleu- ser, ’10, has gone into business for himself with headquarters at 509 Re- public Bank Building. He has been with: C. D. Hill::and' Company... If some of you Dallas boys want to build a new house bear Kleuser in mind. JULIUS SCHEPPS NEW VICE-PRES. OF ASSOCIATION The election of Julius Schepps, ’14, of Dallas, as Vice-President of the As- sociation, brings to the executive fam- ily one of its most active members. For the past three years this Aggie has been one of the wheel-horses of the Dallas Club, serving as its presi- dent and only recently being chosen to again head the club for the rest of this year. He is a big man in busi- ness being head of the Schepps Bak- ery, one of the largest in North Texas or the State. GUY POWELL, 25, STARTS SOMETHING BRAND NEW FOR TEXAS DAIRYMEN Guy Powell, ’25, was in for com- mencement and told of his new busi- ness venture. He is establishing a cow testing association in Wise coun- ty with headquarters at Decatur. The idea of such an association is no new thing but it is the first one of its kind ever in Texas and its success will mean a great deal for the dairy in- terests of the Lone Star State. Since graduation Powell has been with the Pine Tree Milking Machine Company, selling milking machines and other apparatus to Texas dairy- men. He recently put in a nice set of equipment for the College and has had signal success in this line of work. In bucking up against the cow-test- ing association plan Powell says he knows it will be hard sledding to es- tablish something so new, but like a good Aggie he’s hitting it first and thinking about the difficulties later. JOHN BARNES LEADS IN SHOOTONG TOURNEY John W. Barnes of Waco, hits the bull’s eye in the lumber business. He also rates high as a marksman. At the annual tournament of the Texas Amateur Trapshooters’ Associ- ation at Temple, Tuesday, June 8, Barnes representing Waco marksmen led the field with a perfect score of 100. This was in the “champion of champions” class. The next meeting of the trapshooters will be held at Wa- co. About fifty of Texas’ best marks- men competed in the shoot. J. H.
