By LEON McCLELLAN A&M Consolidated’s maroon and white uniformed band will march onto Kyle Field tomorrow night during the halftime of the game. This is the first year that the 40-piece band has performed in any marching or other field activities, according to Col. Richard J. Dunn, bandmaster. For the performance in Kyle Field the group will start from the North goalpost and march as far as the 50-yard line to a march entitled “Envoy.” The two and one-half minutes time allow ed will be taken up with a very simple and short performance, Col. Dunn added. Because of the smaller mem bers, the cadence of their march es and other songs are fast. There are members in the band from the sixlh-grade on up, and the number of boys and girls is almost equal. So far this year, the Consolidat ed band has given only one per formance, in Waller. They are ex pected to perform during all of the district games, Col. Dunn said. While learning, the band first studies the formation from black board illustrations, and then goes on the field for practice. The group practices each morning, Monday through Friday, for one hour. This period is called “music period” at Consolidated. There are few other practices for them, and few other drill periods, for the afternoons are taken up by the beginners. The beginning group at Consol idated is composed of members from the fifth-grade on down, and numbers approximately fifty. They practice in two groups, one on Mondays and Thursdays and the other on Tuesdays and Fridays, Col. Dunn said. The band received its uniform late this summer, just in time for first performance. Although it has been organized and playing only at school meetings md other functions of this nature for three years, this is the band’s first appearance before a large audience. They are among the six bands selected to perform during the half time period tomorrow night. Consolidated School also has a string orchestra of the junior symphony type which numbers eighteen pieces and has given several performances and con certs locally.

Aggie Senior Speaks To Consolidated Group Consolidated A&M’s student body heard an address by Rafael Casas yesterday morning on life in Venezuela as compared with the American way of doing things. Casas, an A&M senior dairy husbandry student from Maracaibo, Venezuela, opened his address with a description of his homeland from a geographical viewpoint. He deplored the fact that people of the United States know so little about South America. People in the United States know a little about Canada and Mexico, but after they get as far South as Mexico they figure that they know all about South America too. '♦ When Casas told about the edu- avera g e number of children in the cational system in South America, he said that it was very different from the one used in this country. Can’t Choose Courses “In Venezuela, the students have no choice of the courses they would like to take. Every one takes cer tain prescribed courses,” said Casas. Students there go for three months without exams of any kind and then they are given an exam. Instead of just taking a written exam as it is done here, they are given a written, oral, and practical exam. The exams are given by four instructors, the ins time tors in the course and three others. Families in South America are much larger as a rule than those in the United States, Casas said. King-Sized Families “Six to eight children are aver age for a family there while the United States is two and a half,” the South American pointed out. Almost anything that is done by American youths in courtship is just the opposite of what is done in Venezuela. Courtship in South America is very formal according to Casas. When a boy starts dating a girl he usually calls her “miss” for about three months before he calls her by her first name. The parlor dates commence with the boy shaking his girls hand when he arrives and when she sees him to the door after the date they again shake hands. On regular dates some member of the girls family must go along as chaperon, Casas said. Casas was invited to speak by the F.H.A. girls at Consolidated ac cording to Mrs. W. K. Frey, spon sor.

North Gate Phone 4-1145 Hardware Furniture Gifts You ought to put into real action that long- felt desire to do something that will help others. We all have that desire—all but the very selfish. We would like to serve. But where? How? One of the contributions which our churches make to the life of this community is in provid ing countless opportunities for valuable service. Can you sing in a choir? Teach a class? Lead a youth group? Visit a shut-in? Pack a gift basket? Paint a Sunday School room? Mend a choir gown? These are humble, yet valuable services. They won’t make you famous, but they’ll make you a better person. And they’ll help others discover the true riches in life. You ought to do it! You ought to join a church . . . and find the service that you can render! The Church is the greatest fac tor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and sup port the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and ma terial support. Plan lo go to church regularly and read your Bible daily.
