AGGIE
Aggies Meet In
Aggies hee
Philippir
Aggies are everywhere and plenty of
em. That was the popular contention
recently when forty-seven met in the south-
ern Philippines. Aggies showed up from
everywhere—even from under each other’s
noses. Fourteen classes were represented.
Marlin ' D. Lewis, class of ’25, held sen-
iority while Ed Crown Miller, class of
47, was the ‘fish’ of the group.
A short business meeting was held and
The Southern Philippines A. M. Club
was formed. Officers were elected and
plans put under way for a next meeting
in the near future. Lewis was elected
president by acclamation. Other officers
elected were Frank Bednarek, ‘35, lst vice
president; B, P. Burtner, ’40, 2nd vice
president; Lloyd E. Clyburn, ’42, secre-
tary; Woodrow W. Potter, ’39, treasurer;
and James F. Spiver, ’43, publicity direc-
tor, The Club hopes its next meeting can
be held in Tokyo.
. Credit for this successful muster goes
to- B. P. Burtner, ’40; Jack Stidham, ’39;
‘| Tom R. Pappas, ’42; and Martin Lindsay,
’39. It is through their efforts that the
word got around. And thanks to their re-
organization, the 100th N. C. B., who
were such wonderful hosts. It was re-
gretted that Lindsay was shipped out
and was unable to attend the meeting.
Highlighting the program was Junius
Fox’s, ’44, version of Buster Keeton’s
yell-leading. It is reminded by this Club
that they were not the first Aggies to
meet in the Philippines and prayers went
out- from all attending for that little
group that mustered on Corregidor April
