“Following out his regular an-

week on the Blanco, near Kyle,
fishing with John Sewell, colored,
the master fisherman.
This old Kyle boy, who has
risen high in the world, has not
gotten above his country village
home and its folks, and he still
likes to visit the old swimming
holes and the fishing places of
his childhood and boyhood days.
And we always enjoy knowing he
is up on the river, even if he does
confine his association to John
Sewell and the mosquitoes.
Come every summer, Dean.”

Highly successful Class reunions were enjoyed at Commencement
by the 1912, the 1917 and the 1927 classes. The older groups shaded
the 1927 class in percentage of returning members but not in enthu-
siasm. The reunions were one of the big features of the Commence-
ments week-end and of the annual meeting of the Association of
Former Students.
Most spectacular of the reunions was that of the 1917 War Class,
invited to participate as special guests by the Class of 1937. With
over 70 members of the class present the lads who missed their own
commencement because of the World War were accorded special
honors at the Graduation ceremonies and at the Final Review. In be-
tween these formal affairs the group held its own meetings at the
Bryan Country Club, at Kyle Field and at other campus spots.
