The TSCW students welcomed the re sumption of this special trip after the war and the old one-day pro gram was abandoned. Then the program began to get out of hand.

C. MUNROE V A proud parade of parents that began Friday afternoon and fin ally wound its way out of Aggie- land Sunday evening highlighted the greatest Open House and Par ents’ Day celebration in A&M’s history. ' An estimated 6,000 parents, friends and relatives of Aggies attended the annual ceremonies. The Aggie Follies night start ed the strenuous lineup of events. The colorful and amusing show, which was sponsored ' by the Aggie Players, was well attend ed by the advance guard of parents. Saturday morning the main body of relatives streamed into Col lege Station from all directions. Cars, buses, and trains brought family after family, all bent on getting the most out of the week end that was dedicated to them. The Freshman and Sophomore judging contest in the Animal Husbandry Pavilion drew the first parental invasion as it began at B a. m. Soon the exhibits of every de partment were crowded. Interested families well in the tow of their eons trouped from one building to another as the Open House Day wore on. Agriculture exhibits at tracted those whose interests were in the farming line, The parenta of engineers, phyatca majorc, geolo gists, business.

The after-kundown w»or»e r\t elict :T Q entertain- v..» Southwestern Livestock Shoyir and the second per formance of the Aggie Follies were both crowded. Several hundred peo ple were turned away from Guion Hall when the! standing room was filled. T The climax to one of the fullest days at A&M came when more than a thousand people assembled at ‘ the Grove to witness the new band shell receive its baptisim of fire. The Aggieland orchestra pro vided the musac, and little sisters, dates, and patients took advantage of the opportunity to dance. A stag lin^ that at times was almost out ojf control made the dance intereathq^' for the people not used to! the oversupply of meni. An exhibition of square dancing provided entertainment for those content to st^nd around the slab as onlookers.

From the jadging of the animals to the awarding of the prizes, everything went off I like clock work with something to hold the audience’s attention throughout. Undoubtedly the most publicised event, although not the most in teresting, was the Dean's pig rop ing event. Tha semi-seasoned bat- tiara for the silver buckle set and belt donated by the Saddle and Sirloin Gub were Dean C. N. Shep- ardaon of the Agricultural Collage and Dean of Man W. L Penberthy. The techniques employed by the two individuals differed consider ably. Dean Shepardson preferred the flashy, long-disance type cast ing to snare his target. Diean Pen berthy, on the other hand, was slightly more cautious and waited until he was practically upon the pig’s back before dropping his rope around his neck.: The latter system proved more effective as Penberthy roped, speaking broadly, his pig first. ► Due to an excess of thumbs, how ever, 1w barely beat out Shepard- - son who stalked until his feet were blistered, throwing periodi cally and missing his mark con sistently. In desperation, the Dean of Agriculture, forgot about his rope, grabbed a kick- by his kind legs and tha unfortunate “critter” S'.'.A on Maw squealing His last, minute spurt proved to be futile, thpugh, and Dean Pen berthy was declared champ.

Thousands of people who had never witnessed sn A&M review had their best opportunity as the entire corps paraded by at the conclusion of the impressive award ceremonies. The sun, which had ; been besting down constantly throughout the morn ing, relented for, a short while to allow a shade .to ease the heat From the review, \the visitors in vaded Guion Hall to fill it to over flowing for the second time in 24 hours. With Leonard Perkins at the organ, the special services hon oring A&M Mothers were a tribute from A&M to the Mother’s of its students. President F. C. Bolton extended greetings to the crowd. He was followed by Cadet Colonel of the Corps Bob McClure who welcomed the Mothers for the corps. Roy Blanton, social secretary of the senior class who served aa master of ceremonies, introduced Mrs. Randolph Lee Clark, the Ag gie Mother of the Year. Speaking to tha other Mothers of students whom she represen ted, Mrs. Clark quoted from a song, “I Love Ufa." “I Want You To Know,” Mrs. Clark con cluded aa aha apoke of A&M, “This is Llfi M The Hinging Cadets, directed b Bill Turner, than Never Walk Alone” to the Mothera of A&M.
