he school year 1942-43 and would like for
ill patrons who have not sent a census
blank to the school to please call the Su

with one of the teacfiers of the school so
we can see that you get a census blank.
We especially urge all parents who have
no children in school but whose child will
become six years old before September
1st, 1942, to report at the Superintendent’s

but will still be under 18 years of agi
dents
out win still oe under is years ot age on
September 1, 1942. These people are eligi
ble for the census roll and each member
of the census roll means $22.50 for our
ichool finances.
We will appreciate very much any as
sistance you can render in helping us
have a 100% roll for the year 1942-43.

Lieutenant C. F. Currier was as

contingent of seamen when they
arrived Tuesday, March 31. To
them he said:
“You are now members of the
student body of the Texas A. & M.

army officers for 66 years. This
school produced more officers in
the first World War than West
Point and V.M.I. combined. They
are graduating 536 officers in a
few weeks.
“You are wearing the first naval
uniforms ever to be seen on this
campus. I want you to make A. &

is of its army.”

As stated before, membership in
the company was limited to Jun

to this custom had to be made in
1918 on account of the small num

"YT'ES, Camels are milder—milder in
J- every way. When you light up a
Camel, you have the scientific assur
ance of less nicotine in the smoke.
And no matter how much you
smoke, you’ll find Camels—with their
full, round flavor—never wear out
their welcome. Camels really taste
good. From the first puff through the
last puff in the pack, Camels give you
smoking pleasure at its flavorful best
with the mildness that letsyou enjoy it.
They’re the campus favorite (ac
cording to country-wide surveys)...
they’ll be your favorite when you try
them.
