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.
