Born in Kentucky, but reared in Plainview, Texas, Mr. Atwood at tended Wayland College, received his B.A. degree from Hardin-Sim- mons, Abilene, in 1926, and re ceived his B.S. degree from the University of Texas in 1928. He played football at Wayland, was a high-hurdler at Hardin-Simmons and a pole vaulter at the Univer sity of Texas. In less than ten years with North American Avia tion, Inc., Mr. Atwood has risen from chief engineer to executive vice-president. He is credited with a large part of the design of the famous BT-9 trainer and has influenced design of all North American products. —Wings In Swing— (Continued From Page 1) ized Army Cadets, Bryan Field personnel and visitors, will be fol lowed by the Grand Final Ball at Sbisa Hall, for Aggies only, start ing at 10:30. The famous Wings In Swing Orchestra, composed of 40 top ranking musicians who have held featured spots in the organizations of world renowned “name” bands, will hold the featured spot on the progi^am. Under the direction of Master Sergeant William A. Sand berg, conductor, thid group en gages in 90 minutes of the most colorful and original arrangements of popular and pamotic rhythms ever offered American audiences. A decided novelty is the fact that, regardless of the immense size of the orchestra, their presentation is not marked by irksome delays for music changes, but segues from one ear-tingling, toe-tickling tune that keeps the audience in a con stant state of musical ecstacy. The arrangements played are the brain children of Corporal Don Brown and Sergeant William Loose, who formerly did the job of combining instrumental rhythms for such popular favorites as Glen Gray, Harry James, Sonny Dun ham and many others. The instru mentalists were featured players from the above groups as well as Kay Kyser, Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Ray No ble, Rorace Heidt, Richard Himber, Bernie Cummins, Henry Busse, Ted Fio Rita and others. Carole Gable, femme soloist, formerly held a similar spot with Henry Busse and Kay Kyser and little Donna Gale Sanders, 7-year-old tyke, is heralded as a juvenile sen sation. Appearing in front, and to the accompaniment of the Wings In Swing Orchestra will be a talented array of glamorous girl talent. All told, 25 young girl performers will take part in a mixture of singing, dancing, novelty and spec tacle entertainment that will, more than likely, set an all time record for local amusement offerings. Gloria Jerome, girl magician, who has been enjoying top billing in some of the nation’s larger and finer night clubs, will give out from her extensive bag of tricks as one feature of the bill. The Trebleaires, girl quartette of sweet singers; the Two Flashes in single and double dance novelties; Topsy, who was such a smash hit at a previous appearance on the cam pus; “Sunny,” glamorous golden haired Mistress of Ceremonies; 12 gayly costumed and agile-footed dancing girls; and several special ty acts will complete the program. We are not at liberty to divulge details of a sensational finale that is planned but suffice to say that it sounds like an eye-filler of the quality and magnitude only seen at the best of Broadway musical shows. Remember, fellows, this is free. It’s Walter Wenger’s and Univer- —AGGIE SPORTS— (Continued from Page 3) service teams could offer strong competition. The other teams that plan to see Southwest Conference, service next year, such as basketball, track, baseball, and the others, all are pledged to put a team on the field as long as there are still boys en rolled at this school. No matter how tough a proposition this prob lem may seem, or what the obsta cles offered, as long as there is a boy in this school with some Ag gie spirit, the Aggie tradition should not die, and sports will con tinue as one of the big things in winning this war. All of you who will be back next year are urged to do ypur part. —REGISTRATION— (Continued from Page 1) Deans and Executive Committee.

Department of Justice that foreign students who are admitted to this country as section 4 (e) students, and who are desirous of going to Mexico for any rea son, MUST see a U. S. Immigration In spector before entering Mexico in order that it may be determined if their docu ments are in order to return to the United States. This may save them the expense and trouble to obtaining a new 4 (e) student’s visa to permit their re-entering the United States. A 4 (e) student is a non-quota immigrant admitted with a Sec tion 4 (e) immigration visa under the Immigration Act of 1924. F. C. Bolton Dean LAUNDRY NOTICE Thursday morning.

The truth of the matter is that we have plenty of spirit, but it is the kind that doesn’t have to be beaten into you with a board . . . we Tiave always believed that anything applied with a paddle is likely to slide right off once the threat of the paddle is removed. School spirit on the Aggie campus is of the same brand as that heartfelt love which makes Germans greet each other with the words ‘Heil Hitler.’ (Backwash’s Note — Efitler has probably met enough ex-Aggies on the field of battle to appreciate the compliment.) “The Battalion’s final master stroke was to remind everyone that A. & M. has just been the scene and the subject of a motion pic ture. All we can say to this is that Hollywood is the land of mys tery and unpredictability, and the financial and moral collapse of the cinema industry will be no skin off our nose.” Well, well, well, well; Now ain’t that ducky! As the Batt’s editorial came out May 4', it took Miss (or “Aunt”) Briknerhoff 16 days to think up that answer. Anyway, we listed 1, 2, 3, 4, so on up to 10' the specific, big things we’ve done in this war. Texas can’t do that, they just beat around the bush. School spirit is such a tiny affair in Tealand they don’t dare tie it in with the war effort. And as for the board and the spirit, Winchell Wench Brinkerhoff just doesn’t know enough about A. & M. to rave on so. The nail that holds the house up must be hammered in; the mortar that binds the brick must have enough sand along with the cement. As for the movie industry, is it about to collapse? My, my, how sad. Envy is the attendant of an empty mind. Getting’ Low ... Staffmen have for many years been proud of their diamonds and such. The Marine battery staff in the old area destroyed all hope for prestige and honor Wednesday morning when two of their bright lads, Butch Tennison and Kyle Drake, marched to mess slightly non-reg. They were barefooted! “All students graduating from the School of Agriculture this semester should call at mjr office and fill out personnel blanks. E. J. Kyle, Dean. According to College Regulations, “The diploma of the College with the appro priate degree will be granted to the stu dent , . . who has satisfied certain re quirements."

Humbert, Chairman Commencement Committee. “To Agricultural Juniors and Seniors: I wish -,o impart a brief message to juniors and seniors who are being called into the service of their country before ■receiving their degrees.

C Cav was third with 225 points and B QMC and C Inf were trailing with 220 points both tied for 4th place. There is no way in which the tie for first place can be broken and it is un certain, as yet of how the flags for Class A will be awarded. A CWS won the class B Intra mural flag after picking up 50 points for winning Class B Horse shoes, the only sport played, and 30 points extra. We have a regular line of week-end specials.
