trains, taken to the Y. M. C. A. fox
registration and then all walked in
a body to the mess hall. Following
lunch they returned to the Y. M. C.
A. and completed registration, af
ter which they were taken to the
homes of their hostesses for the first
time. Those arriving at 3:15 register
ed first at the Y. M. C. A. and then
were taken directly to campus homes
■where they are staying to dress for
the afternoon military review at 4:15.
Women arriving at 5:05 on the I. &
G. N. had plenty of time to reg
ister and report to the homes to which
they were assigned before retreat.
It was first planned to take the wo
men for an automobile ride over the
grounds immediately following the
parade and before retreat but it was
decided that that part of the pro
gram could be filled this afternoon
instead of yesterday. However,
those campus people whose guests ar
rived on the earlier trains and com
pleted registration before the review
took them for a short ride in the time
intervening between the end of the
review and retreat formation.
The program for Presidents’ Eve
ning began at 8:30. Mrs. A. R.
Rucks, 1st vice-president of the
Fourth District presidede. Music
by the Aggieland orchestra and a
ladies’ chorus was followed by the
invocation, and President Bizzell
•opened the evening program with the
formal address of welcome. Cadet
Colonel Franke then spoke in be
half of the corps of cadets and Mi's.
Nagle gave short tributes from the
campus women’s organizations.
GENERAL STAFF OFFICERS
HERE FOR INSPECTION
(Continued from Page 1)
Only ten schools of the entire num
ber in the United States are awarded
this honor, signified by the gold star
on the right sleeve of the coat, thus
it has great significance to be included
in the number.
Not only is this honor extended but
the College is privileged to appoint
nine honor graduates instead of one
as has been the custom in the past.
Thus there will be nine members of
the present Senior Class to be given
commissions in the regular army upon
graduating this spring. These men
will be passed on into the service on
equal footing with the West Point
graduates of the same time.
It has not yet been stated whether
or not classes would be aiscontinued
for the two days of inspection work;
but since it has been the custom to do
so in the pas- it is generally sup
posed that such will be the case.

(Continued from Page 1)
Arch Jones touched everyone. Mrs,
Jones has a voice of finest quality and
executed both numbers as to draw
insatiable applause. “M'ell Cell” and
“Massa Dear”, a real old southern
melody both sung by Mrs. Roy Thom
as, won unlimited appreciation and
to Mrs. Thomas goes the honor of
making one of the the biggest hits of
the performance. Her voice carried
exceedingly pleasing ' tone and she
seemed to put her heart and soul into
the songs. The audience demand'-d
more and more.

Mrs. A. H. Graham of i ort Arthur,
responded to the welcoming ad
dresses. Mrs. Henry B. Fall of Hous
ton spoke a greeting from past
presidents of the Fourth District,
after which addresses by Mrs. J. C.
Reynolds, president of the Fourth Dis
trict and Mrs. Lee Josephs, president
of the state federation, followed.
Mrs. Reynolds’ subject was, “What
Do We Americans Need?” and Mbs,
Josephs talked on the Subject, “The
Power and responsibility of Women
as Citizens.”
B. B. Naschke presented the clubs
with a gavel manufactured by the Me
chanical Engineering Department
from wood of a Magnolia tree grown
by Colonel Henry Exall on his Dallas
estate.
Vocal music was given by Mrs.
W. C. Davis of Bryan and a piano solo
played by Miss Wilma ShaffeT
of Waco.
The convention was formally called
to order by the president, Mrs. Rey
nolds, at 9 o’clock this morning, and
a vast program of work was planned
for the day and lasting through an
other session Saturday morning, at
which time officers will be elected.
Throughout this meeting the Y. M.
C. A. will be the central meeting place
of the women. An information bu
reau will be maintained and the par
lors will be open for parties to rest
and converse at will. College students
or officials who have parents, rela
tives or friends among the delegates,
may meet them there at any time.
The meetings are open to everyone.
The general public is invited to be
present and enjoy the programs.
Everyone is urged to study the pro
gram published daily, and to attend
those metings at which topics of in
terest to them will be discussed.
The individual honors of the night
were easily scored by Mr. Froh with
his marimba solos. Garnett Froh
would be a credit to any professional
troupe of musicians with his wonder
ful ability to draw any kind of music
from his instrument. He played as
accompanist for the solo work in sub
dued notes which were extremely
pleasing to the ear. “Wabash Blues,”
“Tucky Home,” “Wang Wang Blues,”
and other popular selections brought
roar after roar of applause.
Of the chorus it is impossible to say
enough good things. Tho somewhat
fewer in numbers than other clubs
which have visited A. and M., they
were not at all lacking in volume.
The lowest pitched part of any num
ber was clear and easily distinguish
ed. They sang as one and because of
their style and quality won a place
in Aggieland as entertainers of the
highest class.
The club arrived on the afternoon
train before the performance and re
mained over until noon the next day.
They stated that their every dream
of A. and M. had been fulfilled beyond
expectation. It was all and even more
than they had hoped to find. They
left College Station to return to
Stephenville after the tour should be
completed with the determination to
try and make the daughter institution
more worthy of the name of the larger
and older one.
The members of the choral club
were: Misses Louise Keller, Treas
ure Patterson, Loree Flynn, Mary
Sansing, Alta Henson, Martha Pan-
nell, Jimmie Winters, Grace Robbins,
Beryl Roquemore, Polly Williams,
Odessa Little, and Gertrude Johnson;
Mrs. Will Arch Jones, Mrs. Anna
Hindman and Mrs. Roy Thomas,
(chaperone), and Mr. Elmer Hintz,
director and Mr. Garnett Froh.
