Schick
Young
A happy gesture on the part of a college department head and
his wife* is one of the steps in the right direction to foster better
faculty-student relationships on the campus. On Sunday afternoon Dr.
James C. Miller, head of the Animal Husbandry department, and
Mrs. Miller were “at home” from 4' to 6 p. m. at their home, 110b
Ashbum in College Hills to graduating AH majors and their wives.
Dr. and Mrs. Miller have given this reception for a number of years.
It provides an occasion for the head of the department to know his
students . . . and, if the student is married ... to meet his wife.
About 35 graduating seniors attended the Sunday afternoon reception,
at which punch, cookies and conversation were the order of the day.

Largest Student Wife Club
Has Hundred-Plus Members
The largest student wife organi
zation at Texas A&M College will
complete its second year in exist
ence in May when Mrs. I. B. Bough-
ton, wife of the Dean of the Vet
erinary School, entertains all stu
dents wives and faculty wives of
the Vet School with a tea in her
home.
The ofganization is the Junior
American Veterinary Medicine As
sociation Auxiliary, but the girls
long ago cut the club name short
to Vet Wives. The local group is
a member of the national junior
AVMA. When their husbands
graduate, they will become mem
bers of the senior chapter, AVMA.
120 Members
Numbering 120 members, the
group meets once monthly to hear
outstanding speakers on various
subjects and to conduct their busi
ness sessions that keep the closely-
knit organization functioning with
well-oiled wheels.
The Vet Wives organization is
set up with each class having its
own organization and its own offi
cers. These groups conduct the
business pertinent to their own
classes. They hold their own busi
ness sessions and their own socials.
All of them are joined together to
form AVMA. Twice each year the
separate classes, freshman through
senior, are responsible for an Aux
iliary program and are hostesses
for the evening.
Each class has one officer to the
large group.
A few years back there was no
Junior AVMA Auxiliary, only the
separate class organizations. The
senior wives of 1949, or the ’49ers,
as they called themselves, were in
strumental, with the aid of Mrs.
R. P. Marstettar, whose husband
was then Veterinary Dean, in set
ting into action the machinery nec-
essary to form the national chap
ter. Mrs. Marstellar was sponsor
for the group until last year when
she resigned. The 49ers graduated
before they saw their dream fully
realized. But the Five-0 club car
ried on the torch and saw their
chapter receive the national rec
ognition they were seeking.
Mullins—President-Elect
Present officers for the group
are Earlene Faulkenberry, presi
dent; Linda Holden, vice president;
Margaret Price, secretary-treasur
er; Cerido Mullins, president-elect;
LoVeto Burger, treasurer, and
Mrs. H. E. Redmond, sponsor.
Mrs. Faulkenberry, who this
June “graduates” with her hus
band, Tim G. Faulkenberry, is com
pleting her fifth year at Aggie-
land. She and her husband have
made their home at 311 Fidelity
during their stay here. The retir
ing president, a tall friendly girl
who has managed to hold the reins
of the presidency of AVMA firm
ly, yet gently and has seen the
organization grow from infancy
up during her membership, is a
graduate of TSCW. She majored
in kindergarten and primary work
at Tessie-land and during her stay
here has, until recently, run a kin
dergarten. She and Tim are the
parents of three and a half year
old Tim Larry. From A&M they
will go to Brownfield where they
will set up a small hospital and
clinic, which, according to Earlene
“one of these days will be a big
hospital and clinic.”
Mrs.' Mullins, the president-elect
is a native Kentuckian, but has
called Texas home for the past six
years. She and her husband James
C. Mullins came to A&M three
years ago. James is now going
into his senior year in Vet School.
The couple, who live at C-ll-C
College View, are the parents of
three-year-old Cherry Lynn. Cg-
rido, called Cid by all who know
her, is a graduate of Berea Col
lege in Berea, Kentucky. She
taught school for a year at Andice,
Texas. During her stay here, “she
has been employed part-time in the
Poultry Husbandry department.
Mrs. Redmond—Sponsor
Mrs. Redmond, sponsor for the
group, has opened her home in the
Wooded Area of College Hills to
“her” girls. At all times, they
find a door open to them, their joys
and their problems. As one Vet
wife put it, “Mrs. Redmond does
the work of ten people—and re
mains unruffled through it all.”
The programs this year have
ranged from a talk by Mrs. P. W.
Burns of flower gardening to a talk
by Dr. William S. Monlux, of the
School of Veterinary Medicine, on
his experiences in Sweden. Dr.
Monlux showed colored slides of
his travels in Sweden as he spoke.
At their last meeting, the girls
heard an address by Vice-Chan
cellor for Agriculture D. W. Wil
liams on his travels in Australia.
He brought along slides and sou
venirs which he showed during his
talk.
