Page 4 THE BATTALION Thursday, March 29,1951 From the Women’s Desk Cadet Colonel Is Father; Bunny Brings Weddings By VIVIAN CASTLEBERRY Battalion Women’s Editor A T\ MARTIN may be colonel of the Cadet Corps, but • as 0 f last Saturday he has a new top officer in his own household. The new chief commander is his son, Alfred DeLoach Martin, III, who put in his appearance in Dallas’ Florence Nightingale hospital. With great respect for his “old man’s” campus activities, the studies and the duties as chief officer of the Aggie cadets, young Martin timed his arrival for the Spring holidays. A. D. Ill’s mama is pretty Nancye Martin, formerly Miss Knight of Waco. She has been making her home with Mrs. A. D. Martin, Sr., in Dallas during this school year, and is well known around Aggieland. The Easter holidays afforded five days of academic release for Texas Aggies. What they did with their leisure would fill a number of volumes, but one and all they packed the timet full of having fun and getting away from the routine of college life. A number of students became married men over the holidays and traveled on brief wedding trips before retuming to school and the “grind.” Others partied late and loud. Many went hunting and fishing. And, a few— a very few—sat out the time with a good book, ate mama’s cooking, slept until 12 every day—and claim now that they’re tired out all the time. We even heard of one guy who STUDIED over the holidays! • A typical Aggie wedding was that on Friday night of Edgardene Jenkins and Frank L. Sheffield. The Shef fields were wed at the First Methodist Church in Bryan and are now making their home, after a wedding trip to South Texas, at 407 South Dexter in College Station. Frank is a sehior M.E. major, is a corps adjutant, a member of the Ross Volunteers, a member of the Town Hall committee, and a member of the Commentator staff. His bride, a graduate of Stephen F.

Martin, Jr., Waymond Nutt and Glenn Goodman, Dick Kelley, John Oglesby, Cecil Lewis, Bob King, Lloyd Wright, Homer Finch, Mickey Stansby and Jack Stansby. Mrs. Sheffield, who is an employee of the Texas Forest Service, had among her attendants, her. twin sister, Charlene Jenkins, who is employed at the Extension Service, Ann Rosborough of Tyler, and Mrs. Bill Couch of Aransas Pass, both formerly of Bryan, Alta Faye Etheridge, employee of the Ag Eco and Sociol ogy Department, and Mrs. Dean Boyd of Austin, bride of three weeks who is married to ’50 graduate Dean Boyd, formerly of Fort Worth. • Reba and Dick Hardin are at home at 33 Y Vet Village following their Saturday wedding in Amarillo.

Lillian Ruth Hutcherson and David Lynnson Fort, ’48, were recently wed in the First Baptist Church in Mexia. Officiant for their wedding was Dr. W. R. White, president of Baylor University. Mrs. Fort is a Baylor graduate. The couple are at home in Dallas. . . . Virginia Meaner and Aggie-ex Robert E. Walls will say their wedding vows in Dallas on April 20.

Following a wedding trip to New Or leans, the young couple will be at home in Williamsburg, Va., where he is stationed at Fort Estes. 9 Bidding good-bye to each other at Dallas’ Union Station Sunday afternoon was Aggie-ex Troyce SchroUd, Jan. ’50, a former member of the Ross Volunteers, and his girl friend, Martha Jane Konecny, employee in the Photo and Visual Aids Laboratory. Troy is employed by Humble Oil Company in West Texas. He and Martha met for the holidays in Dallas, so that neither would have so far to travel for their dates. • AND A LITTLE CHILD . . . One of the most interesting and enlightening conversations we’re “listened in” on in a long time was that oh the Sunbeam Sunday evening be tween Charlene Hinkel and young Dr. Robert Lyons of Lafayette, La. Charlene is the black-eyed dimple-chinned darling of Mr. and Mrs. Victor Hinkel of D-8-W College View. She and the young dbctor discussed the Easter bunny, the merits of Texas A&M College, the mysteries of women and many other subjects in the miles between Dallas and College Station. Charlene, completely capti vating in her lack of pretense, was the object of interest for seats around, and Dr. Lyons, whom we knew back in our own college days, admitted that he probably would have been a peditrician had it not been for children’s mothers! . . . We’ve been thinking that over and, as a mother, wonder if other mothers shouldn’t put a little thought, to it, too. • Keith E. Allsup, ’50 graduate, with the Research Associates, Washington, D. C., recently has been transferred to Formosa Republic of China, according to news in the Batt office from Keith’s father, V. B. Allsup of Bryans Mills, Texas. ANNUAL REPORT.
