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

of Grapevine. The Browns will make
their home at Ardmore, Okla. “Rev-
eille” is with the Purina Mills of St.
Louis, having an Oklahoma territory.

nounces the marriage of her daughter,

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.

Texas Amateur Trapshooters’ Associ-
