THE BATTALION 5 RODEO-PAGEANT PROVES SUCCESS The Rodeo-Pageant given last Fri day night, one of the greatest events of the year, seems to have come up to the highest expectations. The Saddle and Sirloin Club is to be con gratulated on the way in which they put on the show, and much credit is due to the juniors who worked so hard in making the prep arations for the gala event. It is very evident that this year’s rodeo was quite as good if not better than any such event given in the history of the school. The officers of the rodeo were as follows: R. W. Howe, ringmaster; George Love, business manager; “Doc” Farmer, social secretary; “Ma” Ferguson, publicity agent; “Spud” Tatum, decorator; John Sin gleton, announcer. These men have earned quite a bit of distinction for themselves in the way they handled the event. The first event was the pageant. The king of the court was Mr. Clay McClane Floyd, the queen, Miss Lilia Graham Bryan. The maids of honor to her majesty, the queen were: Miss Alta Williams, escorted by Mr. F. A. Ketterson; Miss Sarah Mpore, escorted by Mr. John F. Turner; Miss Wava Martin, escorted by Mr. G'. T. Scott; and Miss Lola Williams, escorted by Mr. R. R. Farmer. The Dutchess of A. and M. at the Waco Cotton Palace, Miss Helen Nel son, and her court were introduced during the pageant. Miss Virgina Burns was maid of honor to the Dutchess. The military escorts of the court were Messrs. W. P. Pat ton, J. W. Kelly, M. E. Horn, O. W. Sommers, B. C. Varner, G. F. Cal lahan, R. S. Boykin, and W. F. Tay lor. The second event on the program was the three-gaited saddle class won by Mrs. John E. Sloan riding “Petite.” Second prize went to Mr, A. K. Mackey, riding “Hell-in-Tex- as.” Miss Elizabeth Nelson, riding “Lady Bug” received third prize. The third event, the ladies jumping exer cises, was won by Mrs. Lyman Reed on “Buck.” This concluded the ex clusive events, and the remaining were participated in by the real cow boys of our student body. The cav alry’s wrestling team composed of C. Lentz, H. E. Smith, Duderstandt, J. Winslowe, A. W. Young, and R. Perry won over the artillery team. It was in this event that the boys Mould the man first, then the metal ✓^ARNEGIE developed the steel in~ dustry by first developing his men. The Bell System is growing faster than ever before in its history and this growth, like the steel growth, is based on the development of men. Today, in the telephone industry, men in supervisory positions must co ordinate many and varied factors. For example, before locating a new central office, population trends are studied. While it is being built, telephone appa„ ratus is planned, made, delivered and installed on orderly schedule. But more basic than all this, the executive shows leadership by his in sight into the human equation and by the sympathy and. understanding with which he adapts individual to job, moulding his men first. BELL SYSTEM c/V nation-wide system of 18,500,000 inter-connecting telephones found out just how hard that *aw- dust could be. Mr. Frank Dominy won the steer riding contest. The mule riding contest was won by Mr. C. W. Hampe. Event No. 7, bronc riding, was a tie between Fish P. W. King riding “Hell-to-set,” and Fish L. J. King on “Too Bad.” The wild cow milking event afforded the audience some real laughs. The team composed of S. C. Breazeale and W. S. Combest won. Event No. 9, the grand finale, was the riding of a Texas Longhorn steer by Rowland Howe. The money taken in at the rodeo will help send the livestock judging team of A. and M. to the interna tional meet at Chicago. Our teams have won this meet twice in the past and one more win will bring the big bronze bull, a much coveted trophy, permanently to A. and M.
