Page 4 THE BATTALION Wednesday, February 14,1951 Rog d*S^ Jones FIIA Favorites Royce Rogers and Roland Jones are the 1951 Sweet hearts of the A&M Consolidated High School chapter of the Future Homemakers of America. At the second annual banquet of the Homemakers, the two boys were awarded initialed gold belt buckles by Miss Celeste Curran, club president. The club, sponsored by Mrs. W. K. Frey, yearly selects the boy whom members would most like to call sweetheart. This year there were only two-f votes separating the top two boys al ' e _ Misses Judy Oden, Dorothy so the club decided to name both as official sweethearts. Following the invocation read by Miss Glenda Brown, the group was served the dinner which consisted of roast turkey, peas, dressing, corn, and a salad. Apple pie a la mode was served the group as des sert. After dinner speaker for the banquet was Col. H. L. Boatner, Commandant and PMS&T, who spoke on the “Courtship of the Chinese.” Col. Boatner pointed out that there is really no court ship among the Chinese because the marriage is arranged complete ly by the parents and the groom doesn’t see his bride until after the ceremonv. Entertainment for the evening was furnished by Lamar McNew, sophomore civil engineering stu dent from College Station, who of fered his rendition of “Without a Song” and “One Alone.” He was accompanied by Miss Liz Miller at the piano. After the presentation of the Homemaker’s sweetheai*ts, the FHA Sextet serenaded the two boys with the songs, “Let Me Call John E.

Mew Cemetery Entrance Under Construction Construction has begun on a new entrance for the College Station Cemetery, which will be dedicated to the late Fritz W. Henzel former head of the Landscape Arts department, who died in the Spring of 1949. “The major part ot the money for the new entrance was donated by friends of Hensel, and the city of College Station will add to that whatever is needed,” says Ernest Langford, Mayor of College Sta tion. “Approximately $600 will actually be spent on the project, but this is not including the cost of labor, most of which will be provided by the City Force,” Langford added. Equipment for the work will be furnished by C. L. Andrews, local contractor, and any skilled labor needed will be employed by the city. The entrance will have on one side of the gate three brick walls, 15 feet long, four feet tall and one- foot thick. Opposite this will be a pylon bearing a plaque honoring Hensel. The pylon will be of Austin limestone. The entrance was designed by George M. Graham, senior Archi tecture student from Conroe. Gra ham’s design was chosen in a con test among the senior design stu dents and he was awarded a prize of $10. Without weather difficulties the project should be finished by Feb ruary 20, two weeks after start. USE BATTALION CLASSIFIED ADS TO 3Ur, SELL, KENT OR TRADE.
