“I suggest,” he said, “that the

“If that is impractical, then a

organized of those peoples who dis

“If the free nations join togeth

Pageant-Ball Grow
eProduictio
By BILL BILLINGSLEY
Tonight in Kyle Field there will
unfold/ a glittering spectacle, in
volving over 200 beautiful women,
a small fortune in fashionable
clothing, and three months of
frenzied preparation and publicity.
And it all came about because in
1932 three Aggie agronomy stu
dents and their instructor wanted
to go out and see how other peo
ple produced cottop.i
The spectacle, of course, is the
16th Annual Cntton i Pageant and
Ball which, from al) advance In
dications, will be the largest and
most spectacular of a long line of
large and colorful shows. Early
ticket sales and dear skies lead
the Agronomy ^Depariment to es
timate an attendance of 4JXM) In the
horseshoe of Kyle Field, where
lovely girls representing groups
from ail over the Matf, and a con
tingent of prafesslonil]models, will
show the most recent styles and
design* In cotton clothing.
And after the Pageant, a similar
crowd will move to the Grove for
the first open-air Cotton Ball ever
to /be presented.
As befitting a spectacle of its
proportions, the Cotton Pageant
and Bali has grown progressively
through the years since 1932, mov
ing from place to place on the cam
pus to accommodate 'the ever-in
creasing crowds. *
