The supper, which is to be held on Patranella Slab at Consolidated High School, is sponsored yearly by the Mothers and Dads Club for the pin-pose of “getting acquainted” and raising funds to buy things not obtainable through normal tax al lotments for the schools. Fred R. Brison, president of the Mothers and Dads club said yester day that a crowd of some 1,000 parents and children is expected to be on hand for the outing. Food for the supper will be obtained from the Duncan Mess Hall at A&M. Pies and Cakes Asked Mrs. Joe Motherall and Mrs. Marion Pugh have been named as co-chairmen for the affair, Brison said. The leaders have asked that Polio Strikes Local Grade School Girl Shh’ley Brown, 12-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ewing E. Brown, Sulphur Springs Road, has been confined with polio in the Crippled Children’s Hospital in Waco. Shirley, a seventh-grader at A&M Consolidated, came home from school Friday complaining of a headache. By Sunday she had lost her sense of balance and her legs and back, though not para lyzed, were considerably .weak ened. Her parents instantly suspected polio and drove her to Waco early Sunday, where her case was diag nosed as a mild form of polio. A phone call yesterday after noon r’evealed that she was resting well and that her temperature had fallen. Shirley has a sister, Glenda, 16, and a brother, Ewing E. Jr., 5. Groneman Authors Crafts Textbook The International Textbook Com pany of Scranton, Penn, has just announced the release of “Leather Tooling and Carving,” which is authorized by Dr. Chris H. Grone man, head of the Department of Industrial Education. The book is printed in two edi tions, one for use by teachers and students and another for the home craftsman or hobbiest. It has al ready been adopted by many schools. This is the tenth book for which Dr. Groneman has either been the author or co-author. All of them are in the general field of arts and crafts and industrial subjects. Many of the illustrations were rendered by Mrs. Eleanor Nance, a widely known Bryan and Col lege Station artist and crafts- woman. women who are willing to bake pies and cakes for the supper get in touch with the chairman of the foods committee. This person is to be named today or tomon-ow, the president said. Tickets for the supper will be sold at 85 cents for adults and 65 cents for all students through the fifth grade, Brison said. He emphasized the fact that the com mittee would appreciate early tick et purchases so the number of meals to be prepared could be easily estimated. Educational Value Money obtained through sales of tickets for the annual fall com munity supper have bought many items in the past which have been of great educational and recrea tional value to the students, Brison commented. Playground equipment and chairs for Patranella Slab are among the many things which have been bought in the past with money made available from the commun ity supper, Brison said. Tickets will be available at the serving counter for those who for get to buy them early, he added. Dick French Kiwanians Need Accountant Not many clubs are so large that nominating committees don’t know who’s who when time comes to elect officers. But in the case of the College Station Kiwanis Club, the membership is evidently so overwhelmingly large that all the members can’t be accounted for. Take for example the nominating committee of this local organ ization as it met under the leadership of Dr. Ralph Steen. The group thought it had done a fine job of selecting nominees for officers of the new year. But when time came to present the committee’s report, a rush job had to be done to avoid embarrassment. The committee had selected a man to run for second vice-presi dent who wasn’t even a member of the club. Not to be discouraged by such a minor detail, the committee quickly placed another candidate in the position. The biggest surprise is yet to come, though. According to various members who stood around in huddles after the meeting, the popular choice for write-in candidate as president is none other than now- president Joe Motheral.

C. French, dean of college. Five free hand sketches of the main characters in several of the works of contemporary English represent French’s latest venture into the world of art. Sketches done by French are ‘Else and Lil’ from Katherine Mansfield’s “The Doll House”; ‘Mr. Smith’ from an excerpt, and “All Yankees Are Liars,” from the novel by Eric Knight, This Above All. Others include ‘Bella Fleace’ as portrayed in the story “Bella Fleace Gave a Party” by Ellen Waugh; Queen Victoria’ from the play ‘Victoria Regina” by Laurence Housman; and ‘Younger Gessler Brother’ from “Quality by Thomas Jalsworthy. Mrs. J. T. Duncan, French’s English teacher, asked for volun teers to do sketches of their in terpretations of the characters in the selections as they believe the author intended them to be por trayed. French volunteered and his interpretive sketches were the result. Dick has been interested in art as a hobby for a long time. He did quite a bit of drawing while in Geology Club Has Chicken Barbecue Yearly activities of the Geology Club began recently with a chick en barbecue. Some 125 members and guests attended the affair at the Bryan City Picnic Grounds, ac cording to Dud Hughes, program chairman.

Boatner, Col. and Mrs. E. W. Napier, and Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Price. grade school and then after he en tered junior high school he didn’t seem able to find time to con tinue his hobby until this year at Consolidated High School. His art teacher, Miss Margaret Henderson, has been helping him to improve his technique. French transfered to Consoli dated from Blacksburg, Virginia where his father was vice-presi dent of Virginia Polytechnic Institute. His comment on Consolidated as compared to the Blacksburg High School was that the students here seem to greet newcomers with more warmth and try to do more to make the ‘pilgrims’ feel at home. He added, however, that here, students receive more indi vidual attention because of the smaller classes. Dick’s mother has been interest ed in art for several years and at the present is enrolled in the art classes in progress at the Memorial Student Center.
