8108 Donors To 1945 Fund
A record 8,108 A. & M. men and friends of the College put a
solid $25,000 dollars away in War Bonds to extend educational assist-
ance to the children of Gold Star Aggies, and added $54,000.00 in War
Bonds to the Memorial Student Center Fund, as the 1945 Development
Fund closed its most successful year on May 31. Last year’s record
number of contributors was topped by 704 men and last year’s total
amount was bested by $10,594.00. The 1945 Fund was the third and
most successful since this program was made the only financial
solicitation of the Ex-Student Association.
Free-For-All Among The Classes
Class competition on percentage of contributors waxed warmer
during the year and this year’s report shows many changes in stand-
ing. A different method of calculating the percentage of contributors
accounts for some changes in rank but in most cases the changes
came about thru the hard work of Class Agents and others. For the
second year the 1942 Class took top honors with 1943 nearly in a
dead heat. Mention must be made of the great performance of all the
“Forty” class group with every one of them being’ among the HONOR
LASERS with the exception of 1946 which barely missed that classi-
ication
The greatest jump in class standing was made by the 1934 class
which rose from 42nd place to 9th, under the leadership of Class
Agent-President Tull Gearreald and Henry Wendler. They appointed
a number of assistants, put in some special work themselves and
demonstrated what a class can accomplish along this line. The ’34 rise
is all the' more spectacular considering that both Gearreald and Wend-
ler are in the army and their work had to be done by mail and by
assistance from other widely separated classmates.
Other classes showing rapid rises in the class standings include
1900, 1907, 1939, 1938, 1933, 1940 and 1944. The 1945 class leads in the
increase in number of contributors with 212 more donors than in the
previous year. They were followed by ’44 with a 169 increase, *46 with
125, and ’43 with 100.
ome High Spots of the ’45 Fund
Those “Fighting Forty” Classes—Let’s talk about something else;
they’ve won most of the honors anyhow.
Friends, RE errtae: Clubs and Musters—Take a look at that list
of donors which is growing steadily. The help of that
group is deeply appreciated by every A. & M. man.
Battle of the Hats—Bob Adams, ’39, bet hats against John Bone,
’38, and Max McCullar, '40, on their respective class
standings. Adams won a hat from Bone but lost a hat to
McCullar, so Bone seems to be the only loser in the three-
cornered battle.
And a “Thank You Ma'am to the Ladies—Many an Aggie’s con-
tribution these days comes via the Little Woman, or his
Mother, and their interest and aid in A. & M. affairs is a
bright spot. The “Junior Aggie” list of contributors was
joned this year by the Misses Harris and Williams. Mighty
happy we are to have them listed, too, along with the
Junior Aggies.
A Bow to ’34—Jumping from 42 to 9 in class standing is a record
for the Fund. It resulted when Tull Gearreald and Henry
Wendler put their heads together and Henry led the
charge that got results.
