Consolidated Junior Class
Gives Two One-Act Plays
The Junior Class of A&M Con-
sold iated High School presented
two one-act plays last night to
raise money for the Junior Class
fund.
The first play presented was en
titled "Drums in the Night”. In
the play, the sound of Indian tom
toms led to the discovery of a dead
man’s fortune, which was found in
the cellar of an old mansion.
The “villian,” played by George
Johnston, made an attempt to steal
the money, but it finally found its
way into the hands of the dead
man’s niece, the part of whom was
played by Celeste Curran.
Jerry Leighton, Sara Puddy, Bar
bara Sims, Judy Oden and Glenda
Brown also lent their talents to
the play.
During 1 the intermission, Sara
Puddy and Jack Cockrum gave a
record impersonation of “How
Could You Believe Me When You
Know I’ve Been A Liar All My
Life.” The voices actually heard
were those of Fred Astaire and
Jane Powell.
A change of mood was experien
ced when the curtain rose for the
second play, which, as may be
gathered from its title, “Whar’s
My Pants?”, was a comedy.
The cast, which was made up in
black face, consisted of Maxie Wil
son, who longed for a rich hus
band; Billy Blakeley, who portray
ed a “rich” suitor with paches on
his clothes; Jimmy Tempin and

Local OR Units
Will Train In
Camp Polk, La.
One hundred and seventy
Army Organteed Reserve
units from Texas will train at
Camp Polk, La., during June,
July and August, Captain M.
B. Findlay, local ORC Instructor,
announced this morning.
All units will be assembled at
their home stations and moved to
Camp Polk as unit organizations
under command of their own of
ficers. Generally, travel will be by
rail or commercial bus line, how
ever, in some cases units may be
moved by air in order to meet
training schedules.
Local ORC units scheduled for
training at Camp Polk are the 352d
Armored Field Artillery Battalion
and the 39th Armored Infantry
Battalion, with units in Bryan, Col
lege Station, Caldwell, and Hunts
ville.
Col. Paul B. Malone, Jr., Senior
Army Instructor for Texas, re
turned this week from an inspection
of facilities for summer, training
at Camp Polk and classed them as
“superior.”
“Reserve units will be provided
excellent billets, mess buildings
and ample training areas that in
clude the most modem firing
ranges for all types of weapons,”
Col. Malone said.
This is the first time that the
Organized Reserve has been or
dered to move to summer camp in
unit formations. This policy was
adopted this year as a part of the
training program to give reserve
commanders practical experience in
assembling and transporting their
organizations under actual condi
tions. Commanders will get experi
ence which will be of great value
to them in case their units are or
dered to active service, Col. Malone
stated.
Agronomists Take
Class Field Trip
Forty-eight members of the Ag
ronomy 417, pasture management,
class took a field trip that included
the Beaumont, Lufkin and Kirby-
ville Experiment Stations, last
Monday and Tuesday.
The students studied bottom land
clearing and experiments in native
grass pasture improvement during
the trip, which was arranged and
conducted by Dr. J. R. Watson, Jr.,
instructor of the class.
The group studied various clov
ers and grasses to determine their
adaptions and response to differ
ent fertilizer treatment.

A reported shortage of military
hospital facilities is being investi
gated by the Army with hope of
an agreement whereby military
cases may be transferred to civil
ian hospitals, reported the Associ
ated Press.
The probe was started, an Army

proving from virus pneumonia at
the Great Lakes Naval Hospital.
At the same time, the command
ing general of Ft. Leonard Wood

smuggled from the camp by three
buddies last December and had not
been refused medical treatment.

Richardson Discusses
District School Bonds
An open community meeting was
held Monday night to inform the
residents of the A&M Consolidated
Independent School District of the
action already taken for issuance
of bonds for a larger school physi
cal plant.
Stressing the importance of the
new buildings, L. S. Richardson,
superintendent of schools, told the
Mothers Sponsor
Band Benefit Party
A benefit sponsored by the Band
Mother’s Club of Consolidated
High School will given tomorrow
from 5 to 9 p. m. at Playland Park
on Highway 6 South in Bryan.
The purpose of the benefit is to
raise funds to purchase additional
equipment for the Consolidated
High School Band.
Committees have planned a com
plete evening of food and fun for
both the children and grown-ups
of the area and a special invitation
has been extended to all Bryanites.
The food committee, headed by
Mrs. J. P. CoVan, will serve hot
dogs, cookies, cupcakes, ice cream
bars, candy and soft drinks.
A big feature for the kids will
be the Playland rides, including the
merry-go-round. Mrs. R. L. Dona
hue, ticket sales chairman, says
that tickets are now being sold by
the elementary school children of
Consolidated, and that tickets will
also be sold at the gate.
Walter Britten, local auctioneer,
promises to be another big attrac
tion with his white elephants auc
tion., The circus touch will also
be present with the appearance
of clowns, fortune tellers, and var
ious booths where one can test his
“feats of skill.”
group a preliminary survey indi
cates enrollment will double its
present size within the next five
years and present buildings will not
be able to handle this increase.
Plans for the new cafeteria,
eight classrooms, and a girls' dress
ing room, were presented at the
meeting by the San Antonio archi
tects commissioned to design the.
new structures.
Besides the work to be done at
A&M Consolidated, a new shop
building and science laboratory will
be built on the Lincoln High*
School campus.
Three items will be on Saturday’s
ballot.
First of these selections will senk
a “yes or no” answer as to whether
the school district should issue new
bonds. The second question to be
voted upon is whether the district
should assume all bonds which have
previously been issued. The last
item on the ballot concerns the re-
voting of the present $1.50 per
$1,000 value of property taxable
for the schools.
The last two questions will be
voted upon because of a. legal tech
nicality which demands that these
problems be settled by vote.
Each person present at the meet
ing was asked to contact each voter
in his area and make sure he goes
to the polls in Saturday’s election.
Through this effort, it is hoped
that everyone in the district will
cast his ballot so that a good cov
erage of the district will be given,
Richardson said.
“Construction should begin about
July 15 on the new buildings should
the bond issue be passed,” he added.
The middle initial "B” in Enos
Slaughter’s name stands for Brad-
sher. The St. Louis Cardinal out
field great was born in Roxboro,*
