From the Women’s Desk
Babies, Beauties
Highlight Week
By VIVIAN CASTLEBERRY
Battalion Women’s Editor
I F WE sound terribly unintelligible today, please spell in
the waiting room of the maternity ward of a local hospital.
As babies have a way of doing, this one announced its im
minent arrival at the forsaken hour of 4 a. m. this morning,
at which time neighbor Roger Coslett awakened us with an
I-think-this-is-it tone to his voice. We packed the Mrs.’ bag
and whisked her off to the hospital where at 9:38 a 6 lb.
IS^-ounce daughter joined the Coslett household. Mother
is doing beautifully; Baby shows her boredom with the whole
affair by yawning in the faces of her visitors through the
nursery window, and Father will doubtless pull through. He
is in the business of passing out numerous cigars.
Aside from the baby business, we’ve been going to lectures, club
meetings, doctors, visiting and many other things. Last Friday we had
the pleasure of meeting Dr. Lillian Gilbreth, who besides being a suc
cessful business woman and mother, is one of the most charming peo
ple we’ve had the good fortune to know. Dr. Gilbreth’s address on
“Scientific Management In Everyday Living,” contained many new
and thought-provoking ideas. We were quite in agreement with one
Aggie who came away from the lecture with his notepad blank. “If
I’d taken a single note,” he said, “I would have missed something
important. She packs a lot into a few words.”
CALLING ALL WOMEN GOLFERS! Student wives who
are interested in playing golf are invited to contact Mary
Houston at 4-8531. Mary, a native of Warspite, Canada,
is the wife of Doug Houston, aeronautical engineering
major here. She thinks that surely a number of student
wives besides herself are interested in golfing.
Six lucky guys are going to have six extra-special beauties in tow
when they attend the Military Ball Saturday night. They are the
sponsors—and escorts—of the Vanity Fair winners. Fairest of the
fair ones are Bettie Joy Bledsoe, blue-eyed blonde from Austin, date
of Frank Thurmond; Robbie Watson, tall hazel-eyed blonde from Dal
las, date of Dudley Hughes; Wanda Lou Sisk, many-times beauty
Avinner from Houston, date of Bill Blackshear; Ann Marie Malcolm,
hazel-eyed brownette from Abilene, date of J. D. Hinton; Helen
Woodard, blue-eyed brownette of Houston, date of Russell Hagens,
and Pat Hooten—Mrs. Don Hooten, blue-eyed brunette and the mother
of a three-year-old son, who will be the date of her husband.
Seniors are busily engaged in applying for jobs these
Spring days—and hoping that Uncle Sam can iron out his
difficulties so that they will be able to take jobs in civilian
ranks. Not a day passes now that some senior isn’t seen
with his uniform pressed to its best, or "suited” out talk
ing to potential employers, or off to the big-or-little cities
with a job in mind.
The Kum Dubl Class of the A&M Methodist Church treated itself
to a spaghetti supper Sunday night at the church. In attendance were
Mr. and Mrs. Dallas Blecher and their children, class sponsors, and
the Rev. and Mrs. James Jackson and their young ones. Also enjoying
the feast were 28 adults and 12 children. The party was planned by
Jeanne and Charles McCullough, recreation chairmen. They were as
sisted by Reba Cozart and Fern Reed. Everything went along nicely
until one of the tables, heavily laden with food, gave way. This did
not dampen the diners’ spirits for longer than it took to sweep aside
the debris!
Aggie exes again make wedding news. During the past
week several grads have trod the petaled path with girl of
their dreams. In Dallas Saturday William B. Pumphrey
was wed to Ann Slaughter. Pumphrey is a ’50 business
graduate and his bride is a graduate of SMU. . . . Mr. and
Mrs. John H. Bradley, Jr., are honeymooning in Mexico
this week. He is a geology graduate with the class of
’45. His wife is the former Miss Mary Sue Ashton. . . .
Sarah Lou and Paul Ravesies, ’46 in Petroleum engineer
ing, were married last week in Houston. Newly engaged
Aggie-exes include Rex. E. Chiewood, B. $., ’44 and Miss
Kathryn Abernathy and Pvt. Joe B. Cobler and Miss Celia
Baird.

liams Company spoke to Architect
ural Wives at a meeting Thursday
evening on “Color Styling in the
home.” The speaker was introduced
by program chairman, Dorothy
Thomas after a business session

“As wives of future architects,

a series of color combinations and
color schemes. He also discussed
the effects of lighting on color.

One great medical advance '

diseases as small pox, tetanus

with immunizations.
Other advances in medicine thr

Dr. Geppert hopes for a futui
