BP —————p ——————— em errr re ———— rer re COLLIN COUNTY AGGIES ORGANIZE AT MCKINNEY WITH A. S. LEGG AS PRESIDENT. SCHEPPS & HOHN SPEAK A. S. “PRETTY” LEGG, 21 The Collin County Club offers to enter its new President against all comers in a beauty contest. He looks a little wild in this picture but is really quite tame. Aubrey is man- ager of the Texas Power and Light Company for the McKinney District. He has made a rapid rise in his pro- fession since finishing A. & M. Attended by a large delegation from Dallas and by delegations from all over the County, the McKinney and Collin County Aggies got togeth- er early in July to organize the Col- lin County A. & M. Club with A. S. Legg, 21, as president. Beside the handsome Legg other officers named were as follows: Chandler Atkinson, ‘24, vice-president and Byron Hope, 23, secretary-treasurer. All the of- ficers are of McKinney. The meet- ing was well attended and a dutch lunch was served with F. D. “Dud” Perkins, 97, acting as toastmaster. Dallas sent a delegation to the meeting composed of Julius Schepps, ’14, president of the Association, Henry Shiels, 18, president of the Dallas Club, Caesar Hohn, '14, Henry Eitt, 26, Albert Krueger, '26, Bennie Garitty,* 22, G. |S. “Jelly” Hayes, Johnie Garitty, ’15, and Ewing Moase- ley, 16.

Football”, called first upon President Julius Schepps who responded with a talk upon the new Endowment Plan. He was followed by “Dutch” Hohn who explained the plan in detail. Several others pres- ent made short talks and the evening was enjoyably spent. The Collin County Club is planning other affairs and meetings this fall and should be one of the best clubs in the State. WEDDINGS ’ De Lee-Ratley Mr. and Mrs. M. J.

S. “Woodrow” Wilson, Athletic Director and head coach at Burleson College for the past five years has recently resigned to accept a place as football coach of the California Ag- ricultural Collge at Davis, Californ- ia. W. L. Bill Driver, Athletic Di- rector at A. & M. for many years and well known to many Aggies is Athletic Director General at this school and was instrumental in get- ting “Woodrow” to accept the place. The big “Woodrow” was one of the greatest linemen ever put out at A. & M., playing guard and being ex- ceptionally fast for his 220 pounds weight. He played on the champion- ship teams of ’17 and 19, and was captain of the latter. At Burleson College Wilson has made an excellent record. In his five years there he has won two State Championships in Junior College foot- ball and his track teams have won recognition over the whole country. He is one of the most popular men in Greenville and they regret to see him leave, but are happy that he has been chosen to such a responsible position. BIRTHY Mr. and Mrs. Glen W.

Krueger; A. S. Legg, McKinney, President Collin County Aggies; Ewing S. Moseley, who has earned the name of Field Representative for the Ex-Students Association and Mr. Jacoby of the Dallas Park Department. After the preliminary speeches Parson turned on the red-hot stuff and introduced Lieut. Governor Barry Miller who told us lots of good things about our school, our school-mates and aboul ourselves. Take it—or leave it. Buddy—if you don’t think that man believes in A. & M. just ask anyone who heard his speech—-and knows what he has done for A. & M. His speech was one that made you just wish you could do more for your Alma Mater. It made you realize just how little the most you could do is when you can visualize all that is yet to be done. He promised to help A. & M. every way he could legitimately. Doesn’t mean to vote for everything mentioned for A. & M. just because it’s for A. & M.—but if it is a worthy and needy cause he promised not only to vote for it, but also to get out and help get others to vote for it. So Aggies! when ever the word A. & M. is mentioned, just rest assured there is one man who always regist- ers “Interest.” After the Governor’s speech Parson turned the crowd loose on the eats—! Oh! Boy! some of us have not com- pletely recuperated from the “Quan- tity” consumed. Barbecued beef that was “Bar-Bee-Qued,” Potato Chips, Pickles, Tomatoes and Cheese. Cush consisted of soda pop, Dixie cups and watermelon. Col. Bill Easterwood of “Dallas too Hong-Kong” air flight fame sent his regrets but to. show his heart was in the right place he liter- ally “Gummed-up the works.” Col. Bill donated the Orbit gum passed around after the dinner. Mr. Jacoby of the Dallas Play Grounds Department very graciously changed the band concert from an earlier date in the week to Saturday night as a matter of courtesy to the Aggies and for their entertainment. The selections rendered were appre- ciated by all. Before the picnic several of the younger generation indulged in a game of baseball. The score was 68 to 47 in favor of the “Pink Scorpions.” The “Lavender Varmits” were out- classed. After dinner the fireworks started again. You know: Down at A. & M. every evening after dinner the student body indulges in what is known among the “High hats” as “Voice-Culture”—but at A. & M. it’s known as “Yell practice.” So please forgive me—those of you who might have taken offense at my going off in a trance and starting these boys yelling. The Mothers’ Club had an ‘announcement to be made—they ask- ed me to make it—and when I got through making it—and got over the fright of being before all those people —the first things that entered my mind were: Y. M. C. A. steps; I could hear a band somewhere; there were lots of Ag- gies standing in front of me; we had just finished dinner and it was getting dark—just put yourself there and you can readily see why we indulged in “Farmers’ Fight,” “15 for my Team,” ete. After it was all over, many a sigh was heard as cars were turned toward home from old Lake Cliff where the Dallas Aggies had just had the bes: picnic they had ever had. Amen. relii— Bm ily ENDOWMENT PLAN (Continued from Page 1) At the Farmers’ Short Course in July the Endowment Plan was placed before over a hundred County Agents and Experiment Station workers who are A. & M. men and received their hearty endorsement. Many units were subscribed for during that week at A. & M. The Endowment Plan is not one that will become a complete success in a few months. It is too big for that. However, it has already be- come one of the greatest successes the Association has ever undertaken and is only now becoming well start- ed. It bids fair to revolutionize the methods of financing organizations similar to ours. — ll W. R. “Dub” Frederick, ’25, cadet colonel in his senior year, is with the Westchester County Park Commis- sion and living at 72 Elm Ave., Mount Vernon, N. Y. His company does gen- eral engineering work and Frederick says he is enjoying it very much. He has been on the jump most of the time since graduation but hopes to be settled in one place for a whiic now. rm; “i I was standing on the| 12, M. H. and D. S. C., one of the greatest heroes of the World War and one of the most popular war heroes of New York. Both Rack and Lieut. Edwards were members of the official New York welcoming com- mittee to the Texas visitors. In presenting the beautiful watch to the Governor Mr. Rack made the following remarks: “Honorable Governor of the State of Texas and Fellow Texans: “I have been delegated by a little part of Texas set down in this big city to join with this Committee in extending to you as distinguished representatives of Texas Commerce and Industry, our greetings and a most cordial welcome. “Governor Moody, this watch which I am handing you is only a small token of the high esteem that we as former citizens and natives of a historic commonwealth hold for you and the glorious State of which you are the chief executive. “This watch, I am assured, is a good watch, because those who made it with precision, took much pride and care in fashioning it, to put in to it the best that their art represents. “I express the unanimous feeling of all former students and graduates of Texas A. & M. College, when I say to you that we all strive in our un- dertdkings to show that only the best has been instilled into us, and that pride and care was paramount in the hearts of the citizens of Texas and her institutions when we were being fitted for our varied chosen profes- sions. “In behalf. of the Texas A. & M. Club of New York City, I now ask you to accept this watch as a thing alive, telling every day with each tick, the singleness of mind and purpose of the members of a great and noble insti- tution, who have only love and af- fection for their home State. “May your brief visit here result in the accumulation of more Good Will and the growing and continued prosperity of the Lone Star State.” a LE ~ —— A. & M. SHORT COURSE (Continued from Page 1) plied that several of them had wel- comed him when he arrived as a fresh- man and that he feared to say much lest they begin on him again as they had in the past. He complimented the County Agents upon their legis- lative help. The address of welcome was responded to by i’. (i. Haines of Groesbeck who stated that the Coun- ty Agents and Extension Service folks were ever ready to do all they could for A. & M. With the prebiminaries dispescd of the real program began with the in- troduction of Julius Schepps, ’14, of Dallas, President of the Association of Former Students. Julius brought prolonged applause when he said that while he was not priviledged to grad- uate from A. & M. that he would match loyalty and work for the Col- lege with anyone. “The Endowment Plan, the Legislative work and the student loan work” are among the most worthwhile things I know of that are being done anywhere” he declared and asked for the continued support of those present. Following President Schepps came Marion S. Church, 05, who delivered one of the most stirring addresses ever made upon the A. & M. campus. Mr. Church eulogized many of the great- est friends of the school, both living and dead. “The men that A. & M. has produced and is producing has made it great” he declared. He re- lated many of the accomplishments of the Experiment Station and of the Extension Service in his arguments proving the worth-whileness of A. & M. The Endowment Plan was also complimented and every one urged to have a part in it by the speaker. The last speaker on the pragram was limited by time but “Dutch” Hohn fairly made the crowd shiver with the strength of his remarks in the few minucz:s alletted to him. He told of the difficulty of putting over as stupendous a thing as the Endow- ment Plan and of the size of the job for one man. Ending up he declared that he was not begging for help but only for cooperation because it was an affair that every A. & M. man was equally interested in. The whole short course week went off in perfect style. The weather, tho warm, was clear and classes, lec- tures and entertainments were held as scheduled without a bobble. There were several hundred A. & M. men present during the the week and they "greatly enjoyed seeing each other once more. ——————————————— Nagle, Witt, Rollins and Gilchrist Eingineering Company is command- ing the services of John G. Turney, 27, who is with them at their Whar- ton office. He is working under J. M. Nagle, ’12, and says it is mighty fine to be able to start out under another A. and M. man. He's hoping to get back for Thanksgiving this fall.
