credit to a student voluntarily resigning

called into the service involuntarily.

S/GEORGE E. POTTER
Premedical Advisor.
In 1944 Virginia left her school
marm duties in North Dakota and
went West. There, during the lat
ter part of ’44 she met big (6 ft.,
194-lb.) Burl Hendricks, a soft-
spoken West Texan.
The little file clerk (at McClel
lan Air Force Base) and the Air
Corps Tech Sergeant were married
at Minter Army Air Field Chapel
in Bakersfield, California on July
7, 1945.
Burl accuses Virginia of going
West because she heard there were
lots of sailors there, but Virginia
insists “a premonition told me you
were waiting for me there.” In
any event, the union started out
with abundant love and has grown
through adversity.
Burl made a trip home in ’46 to
see what the college situation was.
“A&M was really crowded,” he
said, “so I went back to the Air
Corps and waited my time.”
“College, Here We Are”
In January of ’47, five years
after he entered the service, Burl
Hendricks was discharged. A
month later he entered NTAC.
In the meantime, young Fred
had joined the Hendricks house
hold, but “trouper fashion,” the
transplated Texan and brand-new
mother entered college with her
husband. At NTAC she took spec
ial courses that led to her teacher’s
certificate.
In February ’49 the Hendricks
came to A&M—or Burl came. Vir
ginia had, at that time, gone home
to North Dakota with her son,
back to her old school teaching
duties in order to help finance
Burl’s college education.
“That,” agrees Burl and Virginia,
“is the only real mistake we ever
made. It was the longest nine
months of our lives' We saw each
other only once—at Christmastime,
and right then we swore that we’d
stay together from then on even
if we had to go on a beans and
bread diet to do it.”
Worked at Many Jobs
The other jobs that the Hendricks
have held to Help Burl through
school are, for her, housekeeping,
nursery school attendant, waitress,
and teacher; and for Burl, grocery
store clerk, farm hand, and assist
ant in the Ag Ed Department.
The Hendricks persistence has
paid off.
In January Burl received his
BS degree in Ag Education. He
entered graduate school. This June
the couple will leave Aggieland
for “at'least a year of teaching.
Then we’ll come back to complete
‘our’ master’s degree.”
Aside from her work and her
house work, Virginia is an enthu
siastic bowler and a member of the
MSC Bowling League. She at
tends the First Baptist Church, is
an avid reader. She makes sea
shell jewelry as a hobby—has sold
some of it to add nickels to the
family coffer—and “when I can
find the time”—crochets.
Other than her husband and her
son, those who are especially proud
of the honor that has come to Vir
ginia include her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Mattheis, twin brothers
and a sister back in North Dakota.
Among Virginia’s gifts from lo
cal merchants Friday night was a
child’s dress. Friends suggested to
Virginia that she return it to the
donor for an exchange. But the
Hendricks have decided to keep the
dress.

Included in the booths to be

for the children. Mrs. R. L. Dona
hue, ticket sales chairman, states
that tickets are now on sale by
elementary school children.
Tickets may also be purchased
at the gate, she said.
Track Stars
(Continued from Page 3)
When Baylor met the Aggies in
their first contest in 1951, the
Bears clamored for three runs in
the first inning and went on to
defeat the Cadets 3-to-2. A pair
of Bruin single and a pair of A&M
errors iced the game for the Waco-
ites before the game was ten min
utes deep.
The opposing hurlers for Fri
day’s game will be Fitzpatrick and
Pat Hubert. Hubert was the loser
in the initial meeting although he
had pitched a five-hitter.
Only changes in the Aggie line
up will be the switch a,t first and
in the field which took place last
week. Bill Munnerlyn will play
first in place of Yale Lary who
goes to left field while John De-
Witt guards the center pasture.
If A&M wins, they are almost a
cinch for a final second place in
the conference, but a loss would
drop them to third and put Baylor
in the No. 2 slot.
