Glick talked with four different groups of grade

Jon Whitcomb, in his page in
Cosmopolitan Magazine, says
that in Judging of beauty con
tests he finds the most beauti
ful girls always come from Tex
as. 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. Dottie is a graduate of
Roosevelt High School in Honolulu,
and now is studying business ad
ministration at Baylor University.
The wedding date is set for March
17.
THIS IS AGG1ELANI) . . .
Where one afternoon last week
a senior attended an afternoon
lab course for which he was not
enrolled, took a quiz (and passed
it) and didn’t discover his mis
take until the next afternoon .. .
Where one secretary who had
complained intermittently that
she was about at the end of her
rope, came to work one morning
and found twenty feet of good
heavy rope on her desk.
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

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.
