This is a condition of which we’d been long aware, but it’s nice when ever so often a recog nized beauty authority says so. Among the recently engaged couples is Russ Hagens, senior architect major and Helen Wood ard of Houston . . . Helen is a sen ior at Houston’s Milby high school. She was runner-up in the Anni versary Queen contest, was sweet heart of the Armor Engineering Regiment and has won many other beauty titles. . . . Come fall she will join Aggielanders as Mrs. Hagens, and become a lovely addi tion to student wives. . . . The couple met last year at the Cot ton Ball. Another recent engagement fea tures Dorothy Jo Koon of Hono lulu, Hawaii and Maurice Thomas Dobbs, a senior petroleum engineer ing student.

And where one day last week, by actual count, an office secre tary greeted and waited on 53 customers in person, answered in numerable telephone calls and be tween times did her book work and wrote her letters. . . . Where last Sunday afternoon downhearted Tessics and Aggies proved again that old one about parting being such sweet sorrow as the Tessie bus pulled out of College Station.

Rutledge and Stewart Win Phone Popularity Contest Joyce Stewart and Jerry Rut- I ledge are winners in the Telephone I Personality Voice Contest that 1 closed yesterday at noon. To declai’e one the winner over the other would not be fair to either, for during the past week the votes have see-sawed back and forth with first one and then the other being a few votes in the lead. Jackie Hayes was a late entrant, but climbed steadily in the voting to take a strong second place. Helen Hoy came in third only a few votes ahead of Marie Moncrief. Other girls who were nominated and in the running were Gloria Trevino, Jerry Hott, Jeanne McCul lough, and Jane Williams. Jerry answers the telephone for the “Photographic and Visual Aids Department,” and she estimates that she speaks this into the tele phone between 50 to 75 times daily. In addition, she sees an equal num ber of people personally. Between answering the telephone and talk ing to customers in person, Jerry serves as secretary and bookkeep er for the department. She was nominated for Miss Tel ephone Personality by her employ er, Howard Berry, and her votes came from faculty, staff, students and student wives who have en joyed her constant good humor and spirit of helpfulness over the tele phone and in person. Jerry is the wife of senior ani mal husbandry major, Bill Rut ledge. She has been answering “Photographic and Visual Aids” into the telephone for two years and eight months now, since she came to work for Mr. Berry in the summer of 1948. She plans to hold her job until Bill graduates this June. Juniors Hostess Jerry Kutledge Joyce Stewart Bill says that Jerry is a mar- came to Aggieland with him yelous cook, a good housekeeper and “more fun than anybody else 1 know on a party.” Call 6-1042 and a voice says pleasantly “Good Morning, this is the Agronomy Department.” That voice belongs to Joyce Stewart, the other winner of the contest. Joyce, a five-foot-four brown eyed brunette looks more like a co-ed than a “settled married la dy,” but since Christmas Eve of ’46 she has been the wife of J. C. Stewart of Waco. Jay, as Joyce calls her husband, is an electrical engineering major at A&M. The couple has called College Station home for the past year and a half, and will continue to live here for “about two more years,” until Jay finishes his college work. The former Miss Boles of Waco, Joyce graduated from Waco High School and worked with an insur- T ance company for six months be- Jerry came to Aggieland from j fore she became a bride . Waco where she attended Baylor University and held jobs with Blue bonnet Ordnance Plant, General Tire and Rubber and Great South ern Life Insurance Co. Her home is in Rotan, in West Texas. Next to her job and her College View home, Jerry lists her favor ite activities as voice, dramatics, swimming and going to movies. Last summer Jerry played the role of Lolita in the summer produc tion of “Rio Rita.” At Baylor she majored in business administra tion, and minored in speech. And at any time when Bill doesn’t have a major quiz scheduled, the two of them can be found slipping off in the evenings: to a movie. Are In The Air- And soon it will be birds-and-bees time again. Rushing the season? Well, may be just a little, but we want you to be prepared for the so cial events and the current happenings at A&M and at Col lege Station this Spring. So we urge you to follow the Batt for up- to-date news on what’s going on. Read the Batt and keep abreast of the latest poop on all the dances, proms, meetings and other events that wili be held. They’ll be covered thoroughly in the columns of .. . The Battalion 4-5444 For the past year and a half she has been doing secretarial work with the Agronomy Department. She estimates that she answers from 40 to 50 calls daily. Joyce was nominated by Dorothy Cope land who works with her, and votes came from all her co-work ers, plus many outsiders, to place her as one of the winners. Joyce’s favorite way to spend time is in romping with her- hus band and young son, two-and-a- half year old Steve. “Steve,” she says, “is destined to be an Army child. He was born in Biloxi, Mis sissippi where Jay was stationed with the Air Force. Then we Pretty Mrs. Stewart loves to sew, designs most of her own clothes, and likes to keep house. Before she came to Aggieland— “back when 1 had some time to call my own”—Joyce excelled in tennis, swimming and horseback riding. Jay, who has also held jobs (in addition to his studies) to augment the family coffer, says that it there were contests for most beautiful wives around here, he feels that Joyce would win, hands down. Aft er meeting her, we’re inclined to go along with,him. Second place winner Jackie Hayes is the wife of pre-vet major, Charles W. Hayes. She is switch board operator with the Memorial Student Center where she has been employed since October. Jack- it’s home is in Omaha, Nebraska, but she has been an Aggielander for two years now. At her MSC switchboard post, Jackie usually is saying, “Good morning. This is the MSC.” This goes' on endlessly, and through it all Jackie maintains her “what can I do for you?” tone of voice to the extent that she polled votes from co-workers and numerous students. Before her man-iage Jackie was a Omaha University co-ed. There she was studying to be a nurse. “That,” she says, her blue eyes twinkling, “was before Wes came along.” Reading is Mrs. Hayes’ favorite pastime and her favorite sport is bowling, though she says she does n’t find too much time for either any more.
