WACO A. & M. CLUB ENTER
TAINS MANY SENIORS AND EXES
(Continued from Page 1)
pert salesman and president of the
McLennan County Aggies’ Club, pre
sided over a program which was re
markable for its appeal.
All in all it was a great day. The
ex-Aggies arriving on every train had
a part in the parade in trucks bearing
banners of each of the different coun
ty clubs which are a feature of the
py-stndept organizations. There was
a band, too, for the exes, playing
“Goodbye to Texas University.”
The main event of the day insofar
as the class of 1925 was concerned,
was that banquet served at Mannechor
Hall inside the Cotton Palace grounds.
Accommodations for fifteen hundred
persons had been provided by long
tables. There is no telling how many
of Texas’ fineest turkeys were put on
the block for this feed nor how much
of that remarkable Virginia ham there
was. Hot rolls, potatoes, coffee, rel
ish, lettuce and tomato salad and sec
onds on ice cream insured the suc
cess of the dinner.
Then “Old Luke” took charge.
There were greetings by C. C. “Polly”
Kreuger, president of the Association
of Former Students of the College.
“Polly,” who is president of the San
Antonio Machinery and Supply Co.,
told of the plans and aspirations and
the progress of the Association. W.
V. Crawford, president of the Waco
Cotton Palace Association, told us
that the city and the Cotton Palace
belonged to us. Then our own Prexy
praised the Waco hospitality and re
turned the greetings from President
Crawford. Judge Marion S. Church,
Attorney of Dallas and who was pres
ident of the Association of Former
Students’ last year, paid a glowing
tribute to “Silent” Miller as he re
viewed the remarkable accomplish
ments and tremendous disappoint
ment of Louie from the standpoint of
football. Cadet Col. Frank Stubbbs
responded for the class of ’25 and then
it was over.
It was a great event and the class
of ’25 is deeply appreciative of the
splendid hospitality of the Waco
exes.

AGGIES AND EXES ENJOY
THEIR BIG DAY AT WACO

the streets of the city before the large
crowds Avho stood spellbound watch
ing the spectacle.
President W. B. Bizzell of A. and
M. College led the Cadet Corps in its
parade through the city.
The Cadet Corps—the largest in the
history of A. and M., is made up of
students from all sections of the state
and neighboring states, formed the
largest portion of the parade. The
cadets marched with a quick, easy
step to the martial music of the A.
and M. Band.
Following the Cadet Corps were
hundreds of alumni and ex-sturents
of A. and M., who rode in cars fly
ing the school colors of maroon and
white.
Maroon and white armbands, with
the words, “A Fighting Aggie”—in
dicative of the spirit and motto of the
College, “Fight and Fight to Win”—
were seen on the sleeves of thous
ands of coats in the crowds that
thronged the sidewalks to see the
marching cadets and filled the stands
at the Cotton Palace grounds to wit
ness the game.
After the parade, the Aggies were
dismissed until time for the game.
They scattered in all directions as
they sought favored spots in the city.
Some visited friends, some were kept
busy finding a hotel, while others were
content to spend the day at the Cot
ton Palace grounds. However, they
eagerly and impatiently awaited the
start of the game, and they asembled
in the A. and M. section long before
the start. The yells that came from
this £^tion proved that the spirit of
the Corps was excellent and that the
cadets were quite ready to help their
team on to victory.
Just before the game the large
freshman class was marched on the
field. Four columns of men stood on
the gridiron spearated by a short dis
tance. These students presented a
calisthenic drill, which showed to
everyone who watched them go thru
the various exercises, that they were
an efficiently trained unit. Much ap
plause followed each drill as it was
uniformly and accurately performed.
The flags, colors, and standards of the
school were placed between the sec
ond and third columns, along the fif-
ty-y&rd line. The Band played “The
Star Spangled Banner” as the fresh
men saluted. This added a touch of
patriotism to the spirit of the spec
tators.
The game—the most important
event of the entire trip—proved to
the entire state that loyalty of its stu
dents to A. and M. is the pervading
spirit of the institution.
From the time after the game until
train time, the cadets were at lib
erty to avail themselves of the vari
ous forms of amusement to be found
either at the Cotton Palace grounds or
in town. A dance, held in the Coli
seum brought the visit to a close.
Shortly after eleven, the cadets form
ed behind their stacks of guns, and
presently, were marched to the wait
ing trains for the return trip. Many
students, however, were given passes
to remain in Waco over Sunday. These
students returned to College Sunday
night.

CIRCUS DAY IN BRYAN.
Circus talk is on the lips of every
resident of Bryan and vicinity, for on
Friday, November 7, the famous Carl
Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus will pitch
their “big top” in that city for two
performances. From newspaper re
ports coming from over the entire
country, this aggregation is present
ing one of the most novel and highly
entertaining programs that has ever
been attempted.
One of the new features that will
be presented will be an Englsh fox
hunt, in which a score of hunters and
huntresses, two packs of genuine
Walker hounds, and prize winning
Kentucky thoroughbreds will partici
pate. No other circus has ever at
tempted the staging of a fox hunt,
and success was only attained after
weeks of training and work. The
horses are perfectly trained jumpers,
and at the conclusion of the chase
will engage in high jumping contests.
The afternoon performance will
start promptly at 2 o’clock and the
evening show at 8 o’clock; the menag
erie will open an hour before each
performance.
The big street parade, more than a
mile long, wil be given at 11 o’clock
in the morning. In this gorgeous pro
cession will be seen wild animals from
every section of the globe; scores of
beautiful women, mounted on Ken
tucky thoroughbreds; and five bands
of musicians. After seeing the Hag-
enbeck parade, you will never say
“that all circus parades are alike.”

SENIOR CLUB RECEPTION.
Dr. and Mrs. W. B. Bizzell will give
an informal reception to the Seniors
at the official opening of the newly
organized Senior Club in the club
rooms at the Y. M. C. A. on Wednes
day evening, November 5, at 8:00.
It is rumored that many pleasant
surprises are in store for the Sen
iors and that entertainment will be of
the sort that thrills even the most
sapient. It is very likely that the
Board of Directors of the College are
to be honored guests at the reception,
as well as many other honoraries.
All Seniors are invited to attend.
