The Last Word
Haggard Aggies
Rush to Term End
By VIVIAN CASTLEBERRY
Battalion Women’s Editor
A ND another year hastens to a close!
Frantically Aggies are typing up those last term papers,
working in those last major quizzes and sweating out finals
... graduation ... or jobs. It’s all a merry havoc with every
club trying to get in its final fling of parties.
On Friday night the Publications staffs will quit writing headlines
and try to make a few with its annual Press Club awards banquet in
the MSC. It will be a big occasion for people who during the, year
suffer the headaches of deadlines on the Aggieland, Southwestern
Veterinarian, Engineer, Commentator, Agriculturist and Battalion.

Tom Harris, retiring president of the Saddle and Sirloin Club, has
been around telling us about the big barbecue planned for this after
noon at 5:30 in Hensel Park, Area 3. The big event of the day, aside
from the eating, of course, will be the baseball game between the
seniors and the profs. Their cheering section will include members of
the Saddle and Sirloin Club, the wives of married members, all pro
fessors of the Animal Husbandry Department, their wives and all
employees of the AH Dept. The fellows are expecting around 200
guests to see medals awarded members of the Junior Livestock Judging
Team, the high point men of the judging contest, and spurs presented
to the retiring president of the club. It sounds! like another big event
in the history of Saddle and Sirloin—which! is noted for BIG events.
