OCZiacUCZIODED,
SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 8, 1942
The SUMMER FOLLIES OF
1942 will be presented by Richard
Jenkins on the Saturday night
Kadet Kapers program tonight in
the Assembly Hall. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
