Official dedication of the Easterwood Airport was held Thursday
afternoon following a dress review of the A. & M. cadet corps. Named
for Jesse L. Easterwood, A. & M. ex-student killed in an accident short
ly after the close of World War I, the airport is a major part of the
recent building program inaugurated by the college.

He remarked that the College
Park Community Council is ask
ing each property owner in Col
lege Park who has property on a
hard surface street to assess
against himself voluntarily a sum
equal to 4c per running foot on
hard surfaced streets.
“If this arrangement is agree
able,” suggested Mr. Adams,
“Please send the check covering
your assessment to Mr. I. G.
Adams, Faculty Exchange, Box
263, Campus. If you do not own
the property where you live, kind
ly notify me giving the name and
address of the owner.”
“The old Community Council is
still functioning,” stated Adams,
“pending the disposition of all
funds given to its care. As pre
viously provided, when all funds
are properly dispursed the Council
will render a statement of its af
fairs and cease functioning.”

Otheil Erlund, Ben Ivey, Edward

number of musical selections for
the entertainment of those present.
“Doc” Russell spoke briefly
thanking the boys for the praise
and for the honor accorded him. He
also gave the present financial

that the Van Zandt County house
leads in grade point averages with
a rating of 1.51 for the spring se

This speech was immediately fol

Corps post.” the general said.
Accompanying General Brant
was Lt. Col. H. W. Holden, A. C.,
who was in Coco Sola, Canal Zone
and was a personal friend of Lieut.
Easterwood. He witnessed the ac
cident which cost Easterwood his
life and said that “Red”, as he
called him, was one of the finest
gentlemen he ever had the pleas
ure to know, and on top of that
he was a fine pilot. “That is a
rather big statement when the
rivalry between the Army and the
Navy is considered”, he added.
Also in the official Randolph
Field party were Major Carl R.
Storrie, graduate of A. & M. and
personal pilot for General Brant,
and Major W. J. Clinch.
Appropriate N ame
In designating Easterwood Field
as the name of the new airport
Dr. T. O. Walton said that in look
ing for an appropriate name for
the field that a search had been
made of all past classes to find a
son of A. & M. who had distin
guished himself far above all oth
ers in his field and in Lieut. Eas
terwood had found just that man.”
He was fearless, a fine specimen
of manhood, an outstanding avia
tor and was beloved by all his
fellow men”, Dr. Walton said.
In naming the field he dedicated
it to the service of not only the
college but also to the State of
Texas, the Nation, and Democracy
at large.
Unveiling
Miss Easterwood, escorted by
Cadet Colonel William A. Becker,
then unveiled the monument^ as
the Aggie band played “The Spirit

Owing to uncertain weather con
ditions the announced flight of
planes from Randolph and Brooks
Field was cancelled but planes from
the Kadet Aviation Company, op
erators of the training school at
Easterwood Field flew over the
field as the ceremonies were be
ing canned out.
