the best all-round girl sport* star
•f A. A ML 1 thi* sestester.
Here they art, everybody from
out of the hundreds oi outstanding
candidates for the titles of most
all-round girl and most all-round
boy in the field of summer «i>oru
•t A A M. the two recipients have
finally been chosen. These two
most outstanding and versatile
of the sportsmen and sportswomen
at A A M. tins first summer se
mester are Josephine Perkins of
Houstort and William F. “Chick"
Denny of Shreveport, Louisiana. I
Josephine well deserves the
honor. She it One of the most popu
lar girls on the campus, with her
■istor coeds gs well as the eds,
although during the regular term
■he is a student in Rice Institute,
which maketj her a “friendly
enemy" to the Aggies. She is an
ardent baseball fan, as proved by
the fact that the has been seen
at practically evwry game played
this summer. The tennis courts
also claim her attention, where
she plays a snappy game, and the
swimming poel finds her a steady
customer. Despite'all these activi
ties, Joseph me does not neglect her
work, for she may also be seen fre
quently in the Ifavy.
One of the best-liked students on
the campus dketag the long term
as well as in the summer-time,
“Chick” is the logical choice for his
title. He is a junior student, and
came here from his Louisiana home
to study cotton jaafattnc 0114
classing. Aside from that, he di
vides his time between his two
great lovea, swimming and base
ball. As a member of the swimming
team he spends much time in the
pool, practicing and kaeping in
form. And as manager of the Ag-
gieland Pharmacy softball team,
he talks, thinks and plays a great
deal of baseball.
These two sue by no means un
usual students here, for practically
everyone takes part in some sport.
They are outstandhig for the fact
that their schedule are the moet
varied in the field of extra-curricu
lar activities.

just ordinary news when your col
lege has commuters from each of
these points.
The North is represented by g
group from Cslvert including:
Mary Elizabeth, Frances, and Clara
Harris; Ralph Criswell, Rex Kath
cart. Marshall Boyd. They eat
breakfast at their respective homes
before their ride arrives, and leave
Qtlvert at 6:30 a. m. Cathcart and
Boyd alternate each week in using
their car for the trip which has
a daily average of 66 miles.
One lone Con^Amtet represents
the East. He is Ray Buchanan, a
former captain of the Baylor Uni
versity (football team. Buchanan
drives down from Kurten every
morning. The daijy round trip is
26 mi lea.
As far as the number of com
muters from one direction is con-
I'enied, the West is the leader. AU
of these students come from Cald
well There are two car .loads which
make the daily 62 mile round trip
Each morning at 6:46, after eating
at hem*, these two carloads of
people start their daily trek to
“deur ole Aggieland.” The person
nd of this group includes May
Bess Savage, Ann Garter, Bubba

Mrs. Albena Fitzgerald, “Bub’
