COLLEGE PAYS TRIBUTE
TO ITS HONORED DEAD
(Continued from Page 1)
the presentation of the cadet officers
for commissions sounded a note of
hope and confidence in the men who
shall soon as truly represent the Col
lege before the world as their brothers
did in the War. The presenting of the
cadet commissions at this time must
have kindled in the minds of the of
ficers who received them a full sense
of their responsibility to the College
and to the men who have gone before.
The whole spirit of the ceremony
is expressed by two lines from that
immortal war poem, “In Flanders’
Fields:”
“To you from falling hands we throw
the torch,
Be yours to hold it high.”
LARGE CROWD ATTENDS
SIXTH ANNUAL RODEO
(Continued from Page 1)
College’s livestock, the milking of the
wild cows, the dashing potato race, the
exhibition of beautiful horses and su
perb horsemanship, the thrilling steer
and broncho busting, climaxed with a
bit of lovely song and with the whole
freely mixed with intentional and in
cidental humor, made the rodeo one
of the best the college has ever known.
A float carried the Queen of the Ro
deo, Miss Myrtle Astin, representing
“Miss America” and her escort, Col
onel Frank Stubbs, as “Uncle Sam,”
to their throne. Float after float en
tered with the representatives of
many nations as the band played the
national air of each. Two by two the
fantastically and beautifully costumed
ladies and their escorts made their
obseiance to the queen and joined the
gay galaxy of the Woidd’s Court.
Sixteen contestants furnished much
mirth in the wild cow milking con
test. This event, together with the
potato race between the A. H. sen
iors and the A. H. professors, which
followed, threw the spectators into ir-
restable laughter and frequently caus
ed them to burst into wild applause
over some particularly daring and
skillful bit of bull-dogging or riding.
The potato race was won by the sen
iors by a scant margin. “The Jelly’s
Trial” brought forth some skillful
riding that tamed the outlaw Death
Call. Representatives of the West
Texas Club engaged a number of the
Saddle and Sirloin Club in fierce and
unrelenting combat known as mount
ed wrestling and came out second best.
In the riding class four beautiful,
graceful horses went round and round
the arena demonstrating their skill
as five gaited saddle horses. Miss
Geraldine Grout showed off McKinney
Denmark to such advantake that he
was awarded the prize.
“Jack” Kearney, the clown, went
through a series of intricate steps and
assumed any number of unique and
grotesque attitudes in an act that
brought down the house.
Suddenly the arena was darkened.
With a spotlight playing over him, C.
T. Sprague as the Spanish lover,
soothed the excitement aroused by the
preceding event. Slowly he approach
ed the bower of the Senortia, Miss
Lily Bess Kyle, as he strummed his
guitar, sang the liquid strains of
“Marchita.” The senorita answered
him with a song that brought an in
stant’s pause, and then a mighty burst
of applause. Together they sung a
lovely bit of melody that closed the
rodeo and in itself made it a success.
Financially the rodeo was also suc
cessful, over twelve hundred dollars
being taken in at the gate. The of
ficers of the rodeo were: J. G'. Ross,
ring master; R. M. Priesmeyer, bus
iness manager; S. M. Kyle, social sec
retary; J. Turner, publicity agent; M.
A. Melson, decorator; and H. L. Wil
liams, announcer.

PARK’S JEWELRY STORE
WHAT WE EAT.
A fairly accurate estimation of the
consumption of food in the A. and M.
College Mess Hall has been made pos
sible through the kindness of Mr.
Chumley. The actual quantity of food
required for the daily maintenance of
the 2,200 students is enormous. A
great problem presents itself in de
termining “what’ and “how much”
food is to be prepared for every meal.
The daily variety of food prepared is
only made possible by the consistent
and combined efforts of Mr. Duncan
and Mr. Chumley, who are in charge
of this work.
According to Mr. Chumley 175 gal
lons of milk, 200 gallons of coffee,
3000 large loaves of bread, and 135
pounds of butter are consumed daily.
At every breakfast either 550 pounds
of bacon, 550 pounds of premium ham,
or 650 pounds of pork sausage are
prepared. Besides this, one break
fast requires 10 cases of bran flakes,
7 cases of corn flakes, of 3 cases of
oatmeal; 9 cases of eggs; 4000 slices
of either French or dry toast; 45
pounds of butter; 90 gallons of milk;
100 gallons of coffee; and fruit, there
being a variation between 90 gallons
of fruit ambrosia, 25 cases of grapes
and 2500 apples, oranges, peaches, or
small size boxes of seedles raisins.
The noon and supper meals require
the preparation of either 550 pounds
of roast beef, 750 pounds of boned
roast pork, 600 pounds of roast veal,
3500 small steaks, 3500 breaded veal
cutlets, 125 gallons of beef or veal
stew, or 100 gallons of chili, besides
800 pounds of potatoes, 100 gallons of
sugar corn, 4000 doughnuts, and 100
gallons of beans!
The nourishing quality of the va
rious foodstuffs served is plainly il
lustrated by the steady gains in
weight made by the majority of stu
dents in the college. Many box-car
loads of food is shipped to College
Station daily; it being ordered from
different parts of the country.

have you missed drill this year,
