Behind the scenes with Columbus
f I ^LTERE is a forgotten chapter in
JL the life of Columbus which in its
way had as much to do with the dis
covery of America as the voyage itself.
We refer to the years spent in prepara
tion before he set sail—years filled with
painstaking study, planning his voyage
with the aid of what crude maps and
geographical data he could procure.
In telephony, too, the success of each
new development depends on the years
of intensive research and careful planning
that precede actual construction. Bell
telephone men are continually mapping
out the course of this great industry for
years to come.
The true telephone pioneer is he who
brings vision and initiative to his work
as supervisor, engineer or executive —
and who backs this up with the pains
taking study needed to crystallize the
dream into the reality.

“OUR PIONEERING WORK HAS JUST BEGUN”
AGGIELAND READY FOR
XMAS TOUR OYER STATE
Orchestra Meeting Every Afternoon
For Practice
The Aggieland Orchestra, under the
able management of Bob Brummett,
is ready to start out with a bang on
its annual Christmas trip over the
state. Its schedule this year will be
rather convenient to those followers
of the Aggieland whose thirst for the
unequalled strains of this famous or
chestra cannot be satisfied with but
one attendance. Brummett has been
successful in arranging a schedule
that will make it possible to hear his
orchestra on more than one occasion
around the same section of the state.
The Orchestra has recently been
re-organized and new talent added to
it. Among the new members are
Fish Hieatt, who can handle the banjo
as well as Lindy handles his ship;
Fish Leeman and “Bean” Davis who
play the piano and the bass respecti
vely, and Fish Giffin who acts as
trumpet man. Of course the well
known members of last year’s orches
tra that have always been the big
attraction will be there primed on ev
ery occasion: Bob Brummett with his
famous drums, Elam Eckles as trom
bone director, and George Callahan
and Stevie Werner playing first and
second saxophones. They will be all
there!
The Aggieland’s first engagement
for the holidays is next Saturday
night when it plays at the Elk’s Club
in Bryan. This promises to be one of
the liveliest dances of the season;
elaborate preparations have been
made for it and everyone who attends
will be guaranteed to have a hot time.
The following is the list of engage-
mnets for th orchestra this season as
announced by the manager:
On Saturday, December 17 they will
play in Bryan, Monday, Dec. 19 at
Taylor, Tuesday, Dec. 20 at Waco,
Wednesday, December 21 at Temple,
Thursday, Dec. 22 at Corsicana, Fri
day, Dec. 23 at Ft. Worth, Saturday,
