According to Jenkins, the Follies will include Marion Lyle’s Style Revue, Elmer the Poet and if at all possible, Ina Ray Hutton. As in the past, the program will include audience par ticipation wherein cigars and cash prizes will be awarded. The time is 7 o’clock, leaving plenty of time before the Ina Ray Hutton Dance in “The Grove”. Playing at midnight tonight ^nd also Sunday and Monday at the Campus is the much-publicized “THIS ABOVE ALL”, with Ty rone Power and Joan Fontaine in the leading roles. Others in the cast are Nigel Bruce, Phillip Meri- vale and Gladys Cooper. Tyrone Power, as a veteran of Dunkirk, bewildered by the war and all its complications, falls in love with Joan Fontaine. She is the daughter of a wealthy English physician and has joined the W.A.- LF. to do her share in the war. Her father is played by Phillip Merivale. Dis gusted with the way the leaders are.carrying on the warfare, Pow er runs away from his regiment and it is then that he meets the uniformed W.A.A.F. girl who clears his befuddled mind and sets him straight again. “This Above All” is a good pic ture of World War II. It makes the audience understand some of the problems the Englishing people who have already gone through so many hard-to-endure months of suffering. The pictorial interpre tation of the book of the same name is accurate and, realistic. The Lowdown:—it’s one for Hol lywood to be proud of On the lighter side is “PLAY MATES”, showing three times to day at Guion Hall. Kay Kyser and his band, John Barrymore, Lupe Velez, Ginny Simms and Pat sy Kelly are among those you’ll see in this one. —WILSON— (Continued From Page 3) and champions are crowned. How ever, little if anything, is ever said of the boys who make and carry out the Intramural program. The man who is responsible for the smooth working Intramural Class A Sports is Mathews C. Wilson better known as Pinky Wilson. Ac cording to Spike White, Pinky is doing a grand job and deserves more than a few words of praise, Pinky Wilson who is a member of D Company Engineers hails from Galveston, Texas, and has at the present enjoyed 23 birth days. During his “Fish” year he was a member of the water polo team, and his next year he be came a Sophomore Intramural Manager helping the department carry out the Intramural program for that year. After his sophomore year Pinky failed to return to school taking a job instead. At the time that our present Senior Intramural Mana ger decided to come back to his books he was earning $250. a month. However, Pinky gave up the $250 and came back to finish his work in mechanical engineer ing. After earning a sweater as Jun ior Manager, he was chosen to be one of the Senior Intramural Man agers and put in charge of Class A Sports. This semester Pinky has been handling softball, volleyball, and swimming. Every afternoon he supervises the games in case help is needed and settling any disputes that might arise. Our Senior Intramural Manager, who is slated to receive a watch for his fine work, is a sailboat enthusiast and every time that Pinky gets a chance he heads for Galveston and his sailboat. From this neck of the woods, it looks as if old Sol has gone in for dehydration. Dr. N. B. McNutt (Dentist) Office over Canady’s Pharmacy in Parker Building Bryan, Texas It’s so full of hilarity and non sense, it’s quite a job to put your finger on the plot. As near as we can make out, Barrymore, play ing himself, is trying to land a job along dramatic lines on the radio. As a publicity stunt, he connects himself with Kay Kyser in a Shakesperian festival. After fail ing to make an actor out of the bandleader, he decides to drug him on the opening night, with the re sult that he drugs himself and Kyser takes over. Needless to say, Kay makes a hit with his swing version of Roipeo and Juliet. Kay’s sweet swing is as good as ever; Ginny Sims furnishes all one needs in the way of glamour, romance and excellent vocals. The Lowdown:—a musicomedy. —MEYER— (Continued From Page 3) peted with teams representing other schools. In an intramural contest for a coveted school trophy he ran second in a group which included the entire school. Meyer entered A. & M. in September, 1939, and he had hardly settled down before he became in terested in intramurals. He was freshmen manager of intramurals for bis outfit. Along with a num ber of other fish managers, Abie was invited to try out as a Soho- more Departmental Manager. Well, he has been working with the de partment ever since. At the pre sent time he is in charge of all Class B activities. He is quite active in sports at the present time—having won the> Aggieminton singles championship in the Open Tournaments and shared in taking the doubles championships in both Horseshoes and Table Tennis. “One of the things I like best about my job is the contacts it affords me. I have come to know large numbers of Aggies who I would not have met had it not been for my work,” said David when asked for his opinion of his work. He is high in his praise for the officials of the department and other student managers with whom he works. As far as sports are concerned he could not name a favorite. “I like ’em all,” he commented. How ever, when it comes to the opposite sex he is not so indefinite. He prefers curly-headed blondes who are about 5-feet-5 tall and who weigh around 125 or 130 pounds. Yes, if you see David around to night SHE will be with him. Graduate work in the college of At least, the political campaign contributed to this week’s paper salvage. If the candidates keep pouring it on, we’ll soon be ready for the runoff. —BAND WAGON— (Continued from Page 1) few of the cities in the Dallas area where votes may be cast for the Aggieland orchestra. “If the corps will co-operate by voting for the Aggieland every time they buy anything that costs more than 25 cents and if they’ll get their friends and folks at home to vote when they buy anything at a drug store,” said Brient, “We will have a good chance of getting on that NBC radio program.” Votes for the Aggieland may be cast beginning tomorrow through Sunday, August 23, at any drug store in the Dallas area. —YEAR 01^09— (Continued From Page 1) intelligence and manliness the corps was acquiring since the stan dards had been raised. No more rough, ungentlemanly conduct from the Aggies. “The plaster on the Main Building, although near ly two years old, is still almost like new, with very few initials and pictures whittled into it.” The word “sucker” for industrious stu dents was almost obsolete, and the college was very proud of the fact that “hazing” had been almost abolished by the corps voluntarily. My, hut didn’t that “almost” stick around a long time! In the middle of the book was a whole page devoted to Uncle Dan, A. & M.’s original and the only janitor. Beside a full length picture of the friendly old Negro was a verse, the last stanza of which went like this: When I shall cross the river, In old Charon’s trusty barge, I expect to find old Dan there Hauling trunks up free of charge. The corps of cadets, under Cap tain H. H. Sargent, U. S. A. Cav alry, Commandant, was still but four companies strong, and B Com pany took top drill honors that year. Sponsors of thr companies were Miss Graham Mclnnis, A com pany; Miss Fannie Fountain, D company; Miss LojjiSe Harris, C company; and Miss Jellie Garth sponsored the RVs. A nineteen piece band did fancy shin-digs on the drill field under the leadership of drum major G. T. Haltom, who was also captain of the football team. And speaking of football, Texas University downed the Aggies 17- 0, but the baseball nine retaliated by the overwhelming score of 1-0 over the Texas boys. 1906 saw the original “hulabaloo, caneck, caneck” yell and another yell which was added to what we call “Recall”. The yells were: Chick-garoo Garem! Chick- garoo Garem! Rough! Tough! Real Stuff! Texas A. & M.! Hulabaloo! Caneck, caneck! Hulabaloo! Caneck, caneck! Hulabloo; Caneck, caneck! Warhee! Warhee! Look at the man from A. & M.! Athletic facilities were ably de scribed by a blank page in that Longhorn under which was the caption, “Views of Gym and Club House.” On other pages were satirical ar ticles on “The Commandant’s Twenty Commandants,” and a pic ture of “Bohe” hall, an ancient honky-tonk somewhere between Bryan and college. It 'was run by Bohemians and the food served was of the same shade, however, it was popular with the cadets and their very lady-like lady friends. Campus clubs had changed a little since 1903, but still going were the Glee Club, the Tennis Club, Big Eight, Veterans of the Lost Cause, Fencing Club, and the Austin Literary Society. The S. T.- B. was so similar to the Klu Klux Klan in ’03, that by ’06 it had as sumed that name, and paraded around in wierd ghostly uniforms of white. Also new was the Strag- Have Your Eyes Examined Lenses Duplicated Dr. John S. Caldwell Bryan, Texas gler’s Club, which had replaced the Fifteen Busted Clubs; the Junior Butchers, a clip-club; the Hayseed Band; the Bats, successor to the “Two Beers and a Pretzel”; the Stags; and the Mandolin Club. A house had been erected over a mudhole near the tracks and was called the Natatorium. So frigid, tortuous, and filthy was this place, a page was devoted to Natatorium testimonials in ’06. “For fifteen years I couldn’t at your college, made them stay in the water an hour a day. Those that survived I took to the pole with me as immune to cold feet!” Signed, Admiral Perry. “It is a model refrigerating plant. I will have one if it costs as much as a $100!’’ Signed, Phillip Armour. And so it went, and so it goes. Perhaps they will laugh at us some day.
