h()w many boys take pleasure in see
ing their sweethearts and sisters
struggling around with such charac-

tin behalf of the seventy percent
o|£ our student body who are still
cltear thinking and self-respecting, I
v^sh to plead with the other thirty
percent that they at least have a lit
tle regard as to the wishes of the
majority. I know there are any num
ber of arguments about drinking, but
since it is ruled out by so many
of us, evidently it is not a major A.
and M. practice. If a fellow wishes
to drown his worries (poor thing), let
Mm go off among others of his kind
—-without the A. and M. uniform—
ancl drink his f 11. There can be no |
objection to a fellow’s actions as long-j
A,? he burdens only himself with them. ;

peasant folk, represented by the stu

class, and the winding of several May
poles was the feature of the cere
monies. The most beautiful part of
the fete came at dusk, when lig-hted
lanterns of many colors were hung
on the campus trees, and an unseen
choir sang from the balcony of the
facade of the Administration Building,

are very active and are requiring such
a large number of trained men. The
Chemical Engineering course offered
at A. and M. is one of the best in the
country, and the graduates are given
a wide preference.
The following Chemical Engineering
seniors have accepted positions and
it seems logical that they will turn
out to be the best of the younger en
gineers in their field:
Caldwell, B. M., American Refining
Company, Wichita Falls, Texas.
Coleman, S. A., Jr., Three Rivers
Glass Company, Three Rivers, Texas.
Froehlich, E., Taft Oil & Gin Com
pany, Taft, Texas.
Gibson, J. G., Anderson, Clayton &
Company, Abilene, Texas.
Hays, C. D., Comar Petroleum Com
pany, Marlin, Oklahoma.
Knox, F. A., United States Gypsum
Company, Sweetwater, Texas.
Olivey, T. A., Anderson, Clayton &
Company, Abilene, Texas.
Puryear, O. P., The Texas Company,
Port Arthur, Texas.
Ross, R. S., Empire Refineries,
Gainesville, Texas.
Townsend, F. H., Lone Star Gas &
Oil Association.
Witherspoon, J. A., Empire Refin
eries, Gainesville, Texas.
You will find this mono
gram on all kinds of
electric equipment. It is
a symbol of quality and
a mark of service.
More than 60 per cent of the mechanical
power used by American industry is applied
through electric motors. But the electrifi
cation of the tasks performed by man power
has hardly begun. Electric power not only
saves dollars; it conserves human energy fcr
better purposes and raises standards of
living. College men and women may well
consider how electricity can lessen the bur
dens of industry and of farm and home life.
