Annual Visit of Baylor-Belton Club
Draws Large Audience Which Re
ceived Big Treat.
Mrs. Allie Chalmers Pierce re
newed and greatly enlarged the al
ready warm spot which she holds
in the hearts of the A. and M. boys
when she gave her solo “The Rosary”.
It was truly the work of a master
done only as a master can do. As
the ordinary thing, an A. and M. au
dience cafes little for solo work; but
there was not one in the audience
who did not greatly enjoy this piece
and sincerely wish for more.
During the intermission of the
programme, Miss Lois Pipkin, for
merly of the Registrar’s office but
now Secretary of the Former Stu
dent’s Association of Baylor College
could not resist the temptation to
come to the front in Aggieland
again. She told the audience she
wished to speak in behalf of Baylor
College and was greeted with such a
roar that she might have known that
the college needed no recommenda
tion here. After asking the assist
ance of some few to make the bas
ket ball team members behave, they
had the bald head row—she gave
many interesting facts concerning
their college.
Excepting the fact that Mrs.
Pierce was forced to turn some three

gram was interrupted only by the
applauses offered. It is regretted
that these men had to be so over
come with the sea of beauty before
them—however no blame can be
placed on them—they were justi
fied.
The visit of the Baylor-Belton
Choral Club has long been an annual
event in Aggieland and is ever great
ly enjoyed. This year has been no
exception and it is sincerely hoped

It has often been said, that in a
technical school, like A. and M., the
esthetic side of one’s makeup is woe
fully neglected. Not willfully, but it
just so happens that technical train
ing is not conducive to this side of
one’s nature. If it wasn’t for the
Band, Aggieland Jazz, dormitpry
vic'trolas, and other local musicians,
life would be hard. But the Band, the
Aggieland, and the local musicians
are self-willed, they can’t perform

Before one of the largest crowds
that ever saw a basketball game at
College the Texas Longhorns defeat
ed the Aggies last night and moved
one notch nearer the coveted South
western title. The final score was 19
to 11. The Aggies at no time dur

Shrine in Texas.
After hearing the proposals for
the building as made by Major Ash
