The Last Word
Freshmen’s Locks
Skidding Children
Hail Fall Weather
By PAT MORLEY
Battalion Women’s Editor
With freshmen’s thick locks gracing the floors of local
barber shops, with College View and Vet Village yards filled
with children running happily through the rain, with just
a temporary “nip” in the air . . . it’s fall in College Station.
Burr hair cuts give the fish the “new look,” the rain gives the
kids a slippery look, which gives the mothers a harried look,
and the rain gives all of us drought-weary localites a skep
tical look.
Rain, or no rain, fall activities are getting underway
with a rush. Freshmen were entertained royally at an in
formal reception at the MSC Sunday afternoon, with about
1000 guests present. Lamar McNew, chairman of the recep
tion, and Dean John R. Bertrand, head of the Basic Division,
were enthusiastic hosts. Freshmen and guests were toured
through the MSC, and had refreshments in the Ballroom.
About 75 local girls were present to help welcome the class
of ’55, and it’s unnecessary to report that they were enthus
iastically received!
Local girls are in a flurry of activity getting ready to
leave for college. Jean Marie Edge, who turned in a be
witching performance of “Buttercup” in the “H. M. S. Pin
afore” production at the Grove this summer, is leaving
for Texas University. Other local lasses preparing to be
off to the U. campus are Joan Rupel, Kay Smith, Angela
Luckenback, Jean Black, Jean Kennedy, Ann Hickerson,
Sidney Howell, Jean McCullough, Barbara Birdwell, and
Tommie Bunting, and Nancy Stevens. Nancy has been a
member of Coach Art Adamson’s swimming team this
summer.
Baylor’s campus at Waco will be graced by Mary
Jane Akin, Annabelle Perry and Ann Dansby. Camille
Lucas and Grace Norman are off to North Texas State
College in Denton. Merle Baker, Dorothy Bates and Reba
McDermott will soon be leaving for Sam Houston State
College at Huntsville.
“Mother of presidents,” Mrs. Howard W. Barlow, was
producing hot dogs Friday, on a commercial scale! Wife of
the Dean of Engineering, good-natured Mrs. Barlow is room
mother for the CHS junior class, and has been “elected” to
raise money to help finance a party later in the year, by
selling hot dogs at football games. Dean and Mrs. Barlow
have the distinction of having two sons who are presidents.
Now they can follow political careers, after following sports
careers to swimming meets all summer. Bob has recently
been elected to head the senior class, with Wanda Goodwin,
vice-president, Dorothy Holick, Secretary, Glenda Brown,
Treasurer, and Martha Jane Arnold, reporter. Tom Barlow
is the junior class president, with Joe Motherall, vice-presi
dent, Barbara Van Tassol, secretary and James Johnson,
treasurer.
Sophomore officers are Jimmy Bond, president, Pinky
Cooner, vice-president, Eleanor Price, secretary, Ann Wil
liams, treasurer, and Robert Jackson, reporter. The same of
fices in the freshman class are held by Clifton Bates, George
Litton, Ann Beaty, Travis Englebrecht and Jerry Oden, re
spectively.
Errol D. Frys to Make Houston Home
Mr. and Mrs. Errol D. Fry will
be at home in Houston when they
return from an undisclosed honey
moon destination. They were uni
ted in marriage Saturday at 8
p. m. before the flower-laden altar
of the First Baptist Church of
Bryan. Mrs. Fry is the former
Betty Ann Potter, society editor
of The Battalion last summer.
The candlelit wedding ceremony,
followed by a reception in the MSC
Ballroom, culminated a two-year
courtship. Betty and Errol met
at Texas University, where Errol
graduated in 1950, and Betty re
ceived her degree this summer.
Miss Potter was entertained by
a lavish array of parties in the
month before her marriage. A per
sonal shower was given for her in
Austin by Mrs. Paul Williams.
Carlita Wollbrett of Houston en
tertained the bride-to-be with a
bathroom shower. In Waco, a morn
ing reception was held in her hon
or by Mrs. John Kee.
Mrs. A. L. Nelson and Mrs.
Howard Barlow feted Miss Potter
with a breakfast at the MSC. A
Coke party in the home of Mrs.
C. W. Crawford of College Station,
was a courtesy of Mrs. Crawford
and co-hostess, Mrs. Bob Reeves.
A breakfast at the MSC was given
by Mrs. Frank Powell, and her
daughter, Betty. Mrs. Gibb Gil
christ and Mrs. Frank Anderson
held a formal reception in the Gil-
ARROW
SHIRTS # TIES • SPORTS SHIRTS * UNDERWEAR • HANDKERCHIEFS
christ home in honor of the popu
lar bride-to-be.
The Oaks in Bryan was the scene
for a breakfast presented by Miss
Dorothy Spriggs, Mis. C. 0.
Spriggs, Miss Jean Adams, and
Mrs. I. G. Adams. An informal sup
per was given by Mrs. Dell Bauer
and Mrs. J. C. Gaines. Mrs. T. D.
Brooks and Mrs. M. T. Harrington
entertained with a morning tea in
the Harrington home. Mrs. Her-
shell Burgess and her daughter,
Lou, gave Miss Potter a bridge-
luncheon at The Oaks. A bridge
party was held in the home of Bet
ty and Margie Knowles of College
Station.
Mrs. Lawrence Dillon and Miss
Pat Dillon “surprised” the honoree
with a night shower and Canasta
party. Mrs. William Sparks of Bev
erly Estate entertained with a
morning swimming party and
brunch at her home.
The Houston address of the new
ly-weds is 2132 Lexington Street.
