A. H. TEAM AWARDED MEDALS
Sixty Men Receive Medals for Inter
national Stock Judging Team
Tuesday evening the Saddle and
Sirloin Club presented the Inter
national Stock Judging medals to the
men making the team. The team was
composed of W. S. Amend, J. M. Bird,
T. G. Greenwade, H. E. Howard, R. R.
Peeples, and N. E. Ryall. This was
an exceptionally well balanced team
and made a remarkable showing at
the three contests in which they par
ticipated, namely: Wichita, Kanas
City, and the International at Chi
cago. The much coveted Bronze Bull
was not brough back, but it was not
taken by any other school, as perma
nent property, either; so A. & M. still
has as good a chancy to win as any
one else.
The medals were presented by Mr.
D. W. Williams, head of the A. H. de
partment. Mr. Williams told of some
particular secrets that each man
wanted to keep, before handing the
medal to the man to whom it was to
be awarded; this made the occasion a
very humorous one, for the happen
ings of the trip had been kept very
close heretofore. The Saddle and Sii’-
loin Club is very proud of the men
that made the team, for it was truly
a representative group.

PANDEMONIUM BREAKS LOOSE
Fanned by a stiff north breeze and
the panting exhalations of half the
cadet corps, a burning combination
cow shed and poultry roost, together
with the strong arm of the power
plant engineer, Friday night served as
the flaming sensation of the year at
Aggieland.

BOWERY DANCE TONIGHT
“Oh the Bowery, the Bowery,
We won’t go there any more.”
But they will, Thursday evening,
from 9 till 2, when the Ancient and
Royal Order of One Buttoneers give

Bozos from Chicago. Music for the
struggle is to be furnished by the
Aggieland Orchestra.

SCHATTENBURG AND SER-
VELLO GIVEN BANQUET BY
FELLOW CLUB MEMBERS
Amidst wild applause that cracked
the plaster on the roof of dear old
Sbisa Hall, and also amidst the usual
song of the soup, or vocal attain
ments reached by the cadets in their
soup guzzling attempts, G. A. “Gus”
Schattenburg and T. A. “Angel” Ser-
vello were honored by their fellow
waiters with a banquet Tuesday night
at the usual mealtime. Servcllo and
Schattenburg are admittedly Deans of
the School of Waiting at the Texas
Athletic and Military College.
The festive board was attractively
decorated with the most exquisite
wood and paper effect which shed a
mellow glow over the whole room. G.
I. Terrell, lending his artistic tastes
to the occasion, graced the room as
the toastmaster.
After appropriate words had been
spoken by many, the incomparable
Gus arose. Unaccustomed as he was
to public sreaking, or speaking of
any kind, he made a noble effort—an
