    Association District
Vice -Presidents
Work Hard
The enthusiastic work of its leaders is what gives
direction to the spirit of the Association of Former
Students.
Among the busiest of these are the District Vice-
Presidents of the Association.
They attend nearby A&M Club meetings, aid in
local Association Development Fund activities, and
attend meetings of the Executive Board—plus doing
many other things to help Texas A&M.
On this page are stories about the men who became
new District Vice-Presidents of the Association in 1963.
They joined Oscar L. Crain ’30, District I, Lub-
bock; Ed Durrett ’40, II, Odessa; W. C. Lonquist ’48,
IX, Corpus Christi; and Royce Wisenbaker ’39, V,
Tyler, as District Vice-Presidents and members of the
Executive Board.
(For features on Crain, Durrett,

By giving selflessly of their time, this group of
leaders contribute immeasurably to the success of the
