The Fifteenth Annual Cotton Pa
geant-complete with the promis
ed 200 beautiful girls, lavish cos
tumes, and parade of floats—was
reeled off without a hitch under

effort.
King Cotton Bob Smith was

state clubs and organizations were
announced. i 1
Held outdoors, for the first time

Pageant speeded up the usually
painfully-slow introductions of the

duchesses by assembly-lining them
out with two annourieers
both wings of the “T”
stage. It was a vast improve
over some of the past season’s
shows, which came near to being
ruined by the necessarily slow
Introductions.
The entire show this year was
one of firsts. By holding the show
in Kyle Field, the Agronomy So
ciety sponsors made it possible for
local merchants to parade floats
during the show. Six groups en
tered flouts in the parade, which
was led by the Allen Academy
band and the Madisonville mounted
quadrille.
Concluding the Pageant program
was the annual style show of cot
ton fashions by Sanger Brothers,
jllcgi ‘
and SMU
of Dallas. Sixty lovely collegiate
TSCW and SMU pa-
raded the latest in cotton frocks,
models from
fornmls, bathing suits, and play
clothes on double ramps, built a-
round the Kyle horsesnoe railing.
The National Maid of Cotton,
Suo Howell, made four appearances
in various cottons styled for her
by European and American design
ers.
Setting for the show was a high
“T" shoped platform, built in the
North end of Kyle Field, with its
top against the North goal post
and its runway ending in carpeted
steps just short of the cinder track.
The platform was flanked on eith
er side by the Aggieland Orchefetra
and Allen Academy band, which
provided music for the Pageant
and float parade. |
The court was introduced from
the Kyle Field entrance gate and
mounted the stairs to take their
places in the center of the stage.
After the presentation of the court,
the organization duchesses came
onto the stage from the two wings.
They were introduced, walked the
lepgth of the stage, and took their
seats on either side, near the bands.
The stage, done in purple and
white with a huge, lighted crown
surmounting the center of the
backdrop, was done by Sanger's
Art Department.
Sponsored each year J)y the Ag
ronomy Society, the Pageant raises
funds to send three outstanding
Agronomy seniolrs on a tour of
study through cotton producing and
processing areas of the United
States, and occasionally in foreign
countries.
General chairman of the Pageant
was Professor J. S. Mogford of the
Agronomy department, Mr. Man
ning Smith was director and stu
dent committee chairmen were D,
