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,
