Community Supper
Plans Being Made
iMitfrifinT■ IIV , Iltt’r’m f ’ ^
Final plans for the annual Col
lege Station Community Supper
were in the making this morning,
as the October 24 event nears.
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.

Artistic Qualities
Shown by Students
By TOM ROUNTREE
A budding Michelangelo has been
discovered at Consolidated A&M in
the person of Dick French, son of
Dr. C. 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

Yearly activities of the Geology

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.

Proposed by Board
Plans for the construction of a
new cafeteria at Consolidated

Board in their regular meeting last
week.
The board decided the cafeteria
building should be large enough to
accomodate 500 students at one,,,
time, and that the building should
be separated from those existing
on the campus now.
It was suggested as a possibil-.,
ity that a band room or auditorium»
could be combined into the cafe
