When approached with the question, “What’s lacking at A. & M. ? Dan replied, “There’s nothing lacking that outfits and a little heavy timber won’t fix up.” Dan emphasized that the thing he’d enjoyed most since he’d en tered Texas A. & M. was “going to the football games, making the corp trips, and being able to stand in front fo a corp of yelling Ag gies and leading the songs and yells”. Dan’s future is rather uncertain; he has a principal appointment to West Point and is scheduled to enter July 2. He has distinguished every semester since he’s been here and is majoring in ME. “I hope for one thing,” Dan add ed as a final statement, “and that is that we beat the HELL out-a Texas next fall.” Before You Put That Uniform Away Let us preserve in a portrait the memory of your year at A. & M.

Man, Your Manners By I. Sherwood Congratulations Seniors on your graduation, and further congratula tions to the senior who may be a groom-to-be.

The cost of the wedding ring. The cost of the present to the bride. The cost of the gifts to best man and ushers. The cost of ties, gloves, and bou tonnieres for the best man and ushers (if the wedding is formal). The check if you have a bachelor dinner. SUPERIOR DRY CLEANING LAUTERSTEIN’S PHONE 4-4444 The cost of a bouquet for the bride (optional). The cost of corsages for your mother and bride’s mother. Transportation for your best man and yourself from your home or hotel to the church. The Clergyman’s fee. All expenses of the honeymoon trip.

The bride’s father also pays for the photographs of the bridal party. EXPERT SHOE REPAIRING Holick’s Boot Shop By J. L. Everett Friday and Saturday at the Cam pus will be “Mr. Lucky” and “Youth Runs Wild”. ‘Mr. Lucky” with Cary Grant, is the story of a gangster and his rise to society. The other feature, “Youth Runs Wild”, starring Bonita Granville, is a preachment on juvenile delin quency. The story centers around parents in defense plants whose offspring get out of hand. LOWDOWN—Both good—worth seeing! Sunday at the Campus “Christ mas Holiday” is the feature. This picture, with Deanna Durbin and Gene Kelly, is from W.

Shepardson of the School of Agriculture, has been notified that he has been chosen a director of the Luling Foundation to succeed E. J. Kyle, former dean of Agriculture. This foundation was set up in the middle 1920’s by Edgar B. Davis, oil man, who was raised at Luling and had witnessed the steady de cline in productivity of farm lands in that section through continuous cotton planting. Main purpose of the foundation is to demonstrate diversified livestock raising to re store soil balances and to take away the constant perils of a one- crop farming ..system. —STUDENT— (Continued From Page 2) lad with a great love for horses. This is also Jeanne Crain’s first picture and her characterization of Char is excellent. Char is pictur ed as a sweet country girl. The old familiar success pattern is evident in this story. A young hero starts with practically noth ing, overcomes all of his obstacles, and winds up a success. In the background is the less familiar story of a glorious comeback of an old man, which is also engineered by the young hero. This film is In technicolor and shows some of Indiana’s most beau tiful scenery. The race is exciting, and the proceedings of the county fair make the scene a colorful bit of America, a la Hollywood. The structure of this story is the con ventional chronological series of events. The story will probably appear shallow if not puerile to adult mov iegoers, particularly to those who have never developed a liking for horses or racing. But it will be in teresting to lovers of horses and to all children. For these the picture is not one to be acclaimed by the critics. All our prosperity must come from the land. Don’t let it loaf. der. She meets a soldier on Christ mas furlough who helps her through the tragedy that follows.
