College Station REPRESENTATIVES ON ATHLETIC COUNCIL AG. Piatt, 27 Tyler Joe A. Wessendorff, '07................ Richmond GREAT OAKS At a recent A. & M. meeting in Dallas, Tyree L. Bell, ’13, repre- senting the Dallas A. & M. Club, handed to Association President C. L. Babcock, a check representing the Dallas A. & M. Club’s financial contribution to the recently com- pleted Ex-Student Directory Pro- ject. In presenting the check Mr. Bell said, “The Dallas Club has been inspired to initiate and assist in the Directory Project by the Bra- zoria County Club’s contribution over a year ago to the A. & M. College Library.” In using the statement, “Great oaks from little acorns grow”, the AGGIE would not belittle in any way the small Brazoria County Club’s library gift. On the other hand, that oft used statement is exemplified by the fact that the little Brazoria County Club’s action inspired the big Dallas Club to a kighly worth while undertaking and accomplishment. In speaking for the Dallas Club, Mr. Bell fur- ther stated, “We hope our action in the directory matter will add to the challenge originally issued by the Brazoria County Club’s library gift.” : FINAL WORD ON THE DIRECTORY Aggie readers may be tired of hearing about the new Directory but a final word needs to be said In the first place, the headquarters staff of the Association feels well repaid for the unusual and ardu- ous work in compiling the direc- tory information, by the many let- ters of commendation that have been received. Any association member who has not received his copy by this time should so advise the headquarters office. In the second place, publication of the Directory has resulted in the location of many “lost” men and in the sad news that quite a few others had passed away. The AG- GIE hopes that these corrections and additions of personal informa- tion will continue to come forward to the Association office. : These words should constitute the the final directory message. Doyle R. Yardley, 38, is teaching vocational agriculture at San Per- lita, Texas. A new member of the Association is Henry P. Knolle, 29, Sandia, Texas. He and his associates are’ in the dairy business and at the present time are milking 350 cows |] and have one of the largest estab- lishments of its kind in the state. One of the new members of the Texas House of Representatives is Greene Newell, who received his degree in electrical engineering in 1910 and who is in the mercantile business at Eliasville, Texas. Mr. Newell’s legislative program will be in the interest of providing for more liberal pensions, regulating mutual insurance companies, a higher load limit for trucks, and more economical administration of the state government, WEDDINGS Slovak-Hinds News comes to us of the mar- riage of Miss Frances Hinds and Mr. C.
