W HAT A WEEKEND!
We’ll be remembering it and talking about it for years
to come. The weatherman treated us right, the girls were
plentiful and about the prettiest lot we’ve seen and there
was entertainment enough for everybody to be doing at
least a half dozen things at once! ... At one of the two
balls Friday night, Harry Doran and his attractive wife,
Gloria, were going around trying to spot the Vanity Fair
winners before their presentation. . . . They missed on
every score, which is no discredit to the coterie of lovelies
who are official Texas Aggie Beauties, but rather a pat on
the back to all Aggies for the way they can pick ’em.
Two couples, Tex and bride—Pat McDaniel and Nell and John
Webb were keeping up a steady exchange between the Press Club
ball in the MSC Assembly Room and the Engineering dance in the
ballroom. Byn and Gwen Weddell slipped off from the engine dance
to trip-the-light-etc. with press clubbers for once-around-the-floor.
•
THE WEDDING RING Set having weekend fun included Lilly
Mae and Calvin Janak, Charlene and Neville Muckleroy, Jeanne and
Charles McCullough, Darnell and Spike White, Susie and Dick Bluhme.
•
Frank Manitzas, up from the Alamo City, graced week
end festivities with his presence . . . Nancy Jourdan from
Big I) was geting acquainted with Aggieland. . . . Angeline
Schroeder, Blinn Jr. College soph from Brenham was making
it an occasion long to be remembered for James Lehmann. *
•
The Big Military Ball proved to live up to all its advance notices,
but couples who started off the evening with parties previous to the
big dance, and those who went to small parties after said-occasion
were the most enthusiastic in their declaration of a weekend-never-
to-be-forgotten. Aggieland staffers threw themselves a party at the
Brazos Co. A&M Club House. In attendance was editor Roy Nance
and his lady, Peggy Yancey; Jim Modlin and Jeanne Mason; George
Charlton and Pat Locke, Bill Cornish and Dottie Mangum, Frank
Thomas and Jean Parrott, Dick Graves and Betty Ann Johnson, and
Luke Senior and Nancy Webb.
O
When the last goodbyes had been said, the guys were probably
the weariest bunch of Aggies in many-a-moon, but stars hung around
in the, eyes of some. . . . Audrey Caughey, w r ho now is wearing Fred
Walker’s ring; Marilyn Bowden who went back to her school children
only after promising to become Mrs. Dave Coslett at a not-too-distant-
date; Ralph Gorman’s Eva Clendenning, who was up from Port
Arthur; and Jim Tom House’s first lady, Sue McEntire of NTSC,
who was our own houseguest for the Big Weekend.

ADI) TO MUNROE-EDWARDS ENGAGEMENT AN
NOUNCEMENT. When Curtis and Judy decided recently to
change their name to one, come June, they did it up the .
right way. Curtis had gone to Denton for a weekend date
with the pretty little redhead. They became engaged, went
immediately to Houston for his family’s blessing, took his
• family car and drove to San Antonio for her folk’s okay.
Curtis brought Judy back to College Station, put her on a
train for Denton, then took the car back to Houston and
came back to Aggieland—all in one weekend! That’s a dis
tance of about 1300 miles, and after meeting Judy over the
weekend, we agree with Curtis, worth every mile of it. Judy’s
ring is a beautiful Aggie miniature, set with a diamond.

birthday cake, while the honored
guest and his small friends had
to content themselves with
cookies and ice cream!

In the Spring a young man’s
fancy may turn to thoughts. of
love, but likely as not his lady’s
thoughts have turned to clothes.
This Spring we’re wearing every
thing from full, full skirts to pegs,
with sleeveless tucked blouses and
tiny feminine collars. We’re using
flowers in abundance, real ones if
we have them and artificial if we
don’t. We’ve need of giant or
ganza or silk scarves to trail from
a bcltline (the belts are wide and
the buckles gaudy!), wear as a
stole, tuck in a suit. . . . We’re
using lacc or organdy tie-on skirts
and boleros over simple low-cut
cotton or rayon dresses. . . . And
we’re wearing with this costume
jewelry of all kinds, or the real
McCoy if we’re lucky enough to
have it. . . . Nicest thing of all
for many students is that their
wives arc enjoying an epidemic
of sewing fever and are putting
these little numbers together with
their own two hands.
IN THE REALM OF THINGS
TO BE. The Dames Club is put
ting final touches on a big cook
ing school it. has planned for
April. It will issue invitations
to all student wives and to Col
lege Station residents. ... The
Mustang-exes (SMUs to you)
are hoping for a rather quiet
time of it when they hold their
Mustang Carrol get-together for
this section of the World in late

The Holmans at Home
Evelyn Holman Believes
Army Wife Must Make Home
Of Whatever Is Available
By VIVIAN CASTLEBERRY
Graduates of Texas A&M for
the “duration of the crisis” will
almost unanimously be forced to
consider a stint with the U. S.
Army before they can settle down
to any other sort of career.
Trained in military tactics
through four years of college, most
of these men will know what to
expect from Army life and how to
take it. But many of them will
want to know what they can ex
pect of their wives and families
in the role of Army people.
Few girls can answer their ques
tions better than Mrs. Donald L.
Holman, who has lived with and
around Aimy folk all her life.
Evelyn Holman is the daughter
of an Army colonel. She met her
husband while he was a sergeant
in the Air Force. Her sister is
married to an Annapolis graduate.
Her other sister’s husband is a
Coast Guard veteran.
Evelyn, a tall—she’s five-feet-
eight-inches — gray - green - eyed
brownette with a ready smile, a
sparkling sense of humor and a
soft low-pitched voice, came to
Aggieland in September. Before
that she had found time to be a
college girl, a dance instructor, a
senior clerk in personnel for Cap
ital Airlines, with the Army Se
curity Department, with the Naval
Torpedo Department and recrea
tional director in the Air Force.
Now a confirmed Aggie—“I yell
my heart out at all the contests
where Aggies- participate,” — she
hopes ndfct year to convince her
18-year-old brother that A&M is
the only school for him. - ,/
Evelyn was born in Peking, Chi
na, where her father was ^at , the
time in the diplomatic service. She
spent most of her childhood in and
around Washington, D. C. where
she attended Western High School.
Later she was a student at Mary
Washington College of the Uni
versity of Virginia.
She has traveled in 47 of the
48 states, “all except Arizona,”
and in Mexico, Cuba and Hawaii.
At the close of the war when
the Army Special Services sent
out an appeal for • entertainnjent
chairmen to serve with the Armed
Forces, Evelyn answered the chal
lenge.
She went to Guam, where she
organized and supervised a club,
primarily for boys under 21 years
of age. Her title was recreational
director. This included instruc
tions in and arrangements for
dances, arts and crafts, tours of

Hadacol May Relieve Cause of Troubles
When Due to a Lack of Vitamins Bi,
82, Niacin and Iron, that Interfere with
Fun and Studies!
The marvelous benefits of HADA
COL, today’s great nutritional
formula, are equally helpful to
young and old alike who are suffer
ing from a lack of Vitamins Bi, B ; ,
Iron and Niacin.
Here’s what these two pretty
coeds, who may have been suffer
ing from such deficiencies, have to
say: “We are two college students
writing you this letter. Before tak
ing HADACOL we were nervous,
restless and unable to sleep at
night. We found we were foggy
all day and ached all over. Now
after taking only 3 bottles of HAD
ACOL we are different persons.
We are full of life and energy and
our aches have completely disap
peared. Thank you for your won
derful discovery of that remarkable
product, HADACOL.”
This is typical of thousands of
letters telling how HADACOL re
lieves the real and basic cause ol
deficiency distresses. For HADA
COL provides more than the mini
mum daily requirement of Vita
mins Bi, Be, Niacin and Iron, plus
helpful quantities of Phosphorus
and Calcium. It builds up the
hemoglobin content of the blood
(when Iron is needed) to send
these precious Vitamins and Min
erals surging to every part of the
body and to every body organ.
Why not find out today why
thousands say, “Only HADACOL
gives you that Wonderful Hadacol
Feeling.” At your druggist: Trial

only $3.50.
SENATOR DUDLEY J. LE BLANC
The Best Friend You Ever Had
Senator LeBlanc has been in
public life since he was quite
a young man and has always
advocated the cause of the op
pressed and downtrodden. It
was he who introduced the law
in Louisiana that gives every
deserving man and woman in
Louisiana a pension of $50.00.
It was he who introduced the
law creating the office of Service
Commissioner, the duties of
which office is to see that every
deserving ex-soldier and veter
an receives his just reward from
the Federal and State Govern
ment. It was he who has con
sistently fought, the battle of
the school teachers in the halls
of the legislature. He \vorked
untiringly for the farmers and
Senator Dudley J. LeBlanc
the laboring man.
You can place your confidence
in a' man who has by his past
activities demonstrated to you
that he is your friend. If you
are suffering from deficiencies
of Vitamins B,, B?, Niacin and 1
Iron, don’t hesitate, don’t delay,
buy HADACOL today.
