Dr. Jones, who in November of
1936 received the second honorary

mitories and mess hall now in pro-
gress at A. & M.

Board of Directors will be in charge
of arrangements of the program
for the day. Members of the
committee are Dr. Walton; Joe U-
tay, chairman; A. H. Demke and

of outstanding achievements both
for Texas and the nation. He serv-
ed under President Wilson during
and after the war as a delegate
to Red Cross meetings in Geneva
and Paris. He helped in organizing
the League of Red Cross Societies
of the world.
Since 1932, when he was made a
member of the RFC by President
Hoover, he has been in the nation-
al spotlight, more-so when he was
made chairman of the corporation
in 1933. Since that time he has
worked untiringly at his job.
He has long been a leader and
well known figure in the lumber,

Ex-Aggie Has
Pleasant Time
With Beautiful
Stephens Coeds
The Texas Aggies aren’t the
only ones who “did all the good”
with the Stephens College coeds
who visited here recently!
Harry Stefani, an ex-Aggie of
the class of ’34 who is a solicit-
ing agent for the Mallory steam-
ship line at its Houston headquar-
ters, still hasn’t come back to earth
since the Stephens girls passed
through Houston on their way to
A. & M.
After the Stephens girls’ ship
had docked, Harry carried two bags
from the ship to the train for one
attractive student. The day was
hot and the bags were heavy.
There were about 40 girls in the
coach where he finally placed the
two bags.
Just before he was ready to
leave, one of the girls thought it
very sweet of Harry to bring the
bags all the way from the ship,
and so she told him she was going
to reward him with a good-bye
kiss.
Now, one of Harry’s duties is %o
create good-will for his company;
so after a few seconds of silent
meditation, he realized that there
was no possible way he could
gracefully get out of kissing the
attractive brunet good-bye. By the
time he had finished kissing her,
the other 39 girls decided that they
had also better kiss Harry good-
bye.
When Harry finally stumbled
out of the coach, his face had
enough red on it to paint a circus
wagon. But Harry was all smiles.
He said that Stephens College is a
wonderful institution.

the Association at their recent
meeting certainly initiated two

Placement Bureau and the Thanks-

lover and supporter of A. & M.
will acclaim these undertakings as
giving promise of great good to
the school and I am sure hundreds
of the old students will cooperate
heartily. For myself, I'll gladly ask
reservations in the ‘Thanksgiving
Home Folks’ section next fall.
We had six seats in the end section
in 1937—not very high up either—
and saw the game satisfactorily.
It will be a fine gesture in public
relations to establish this rule for
the Home Folks and it will really
allow some more opportunity for
us old timers to contact each other.
To facilitate such contacts, why
not adopt some sort of class period
scheme of seating for those who
dequested it. The older a fellow is
the more he is interested in meet-
ing old comrades and by the nature
of things, the less chance he has
of doing so at our Thanksgiving
games of today.”—W. S. Beesley,
