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. Austin High
School, attended Southwest Texas State Teachers College
in San Marcos.
Their wedding attendants included Aggies Bill Poston,
Bobby Calloway, A. D. 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.

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.
