‘‘Mums' Featured In Contest
Gardeners Show Fall Festival
By PAT MORELY
Battalion Women’s Editor
A mass of chrysanthemums, with
varieties of every color and size,
filled the stage of the MSC As
sembly Room, to take top honors
for the “Harvert Festival,” fall
flower show of the A&M Garden
Club yesterday.
The giant chrysanthemum dis
play, presented by the Floriculture
and Landscape Art Department,
was arranged and directed by A. F.
DeWerth.
The huge array of these fall
blossoms was flanked by tall col
umns of white “mums” studded
with yellow pom-poms. The cen
ter of the stage was dominated
by a life-like and life-sized tur
key, whose body was made entirely
of maroon chrysanthemums. The
turkey’s head was made of cocks
comb, and real turkey feathers
composed the wings and tail.
Chrysanthemum Display
The chrysanthemum display, re
ceiving much attention from the
visitors, was the highlight of a
show which was “the best ever
held in College Station,” according
to the more than 100 guests who
had called before 5 p. m. Residents
of this area getting off work at
this hour kept the Assembly Room
and the Ballroom filled until the
closing time, at 8 p. m.
Entries in the horticultural class
es, arrangement division, and table
setting divisions of the “Harvest
Festival” caused gasps of admira-
tio from all visitors, both novice
and expert flower growers.
Mrs. R. E. Snuggs, president of
the organization, alternated at the
register with Mrs, C. B. Camp
bell.
Chairman of the entire flower
show was Mrs. Marion Pugh, who
is vice president of the Garden
Club. Mrs. Tom Taylor was co-
chairman.
Section I Winner
The only winner in Section I of
the horticultural classes was Mrs.
0. W. Williams, who won first
place for her “Spray of Berries.”
In the perrennials section of this
division, Mrs. R. E. Snuggs took
first place in the Aobmene, Stan
dards, and Spider types of chry
santhemums. Mrs. C. B. Campbell
won first first prize the Inter
mediate group and Mrs. P. W.

George B. Wilcox Has Devoted Life
To A idingEduca lion Evolu ti on Process
George B. Wilcox is a man who
believes that education is an evo-
■lutionary process. And he has'de
voted his life to aiding the evolu
tion of education much as the
geneticist aids the development of
plants and animals.
As head of the Education and
Phschology Department, Wilcox
has had a hand in training many
young men who have become teach-
ers in the state’s public school
system. But his contribution to
education has gone farther than
that.
Attended Rural Schools
Reared on a Grimes county farm,
he attended rural schools and grad
uated from high school at lola.
After graduating from Sam Hous
ton State Teachers College, Hunts
ville, he served as principal of high
schools at Groesbeck and Wharton
and superintendent at Plantersville

By HARRI BAKER
Battalion Staff Writer
A publication, for every taste is
the motto of Student Publications.
An annual, four magazines, and a

it can include everything that hap
pens during the year, right up to
the end, the “Aggieland” does not
come out until the fall following
the year it covei-s. The “Aggieland
51” will probably be ready some
time after Thanksgiving.
Bill McSpadden and Bibb Un
derwood are co-editors of the an
nual for 1951-52.
The magazine for the School of

the contest and the game continued
in its usual state. Sheppard hit
a free shot for the losers and the
athletes took over.
Dishman hit a set shot and
Douglas made two free tosses.
Again the corner beckoned to Mai
and he split the nets for two more
counters. Score: 28-8.
Hudspeth hit on a set shot and
Douglas hit a set shot to keep
the score a 30-10. Charlie Smith
took over Douglas’ stock in trade,
the corner, and hit for two as the
third quarter ended. Score: 30-12.
Fourth Quarter
In the final quarter the roof
caved in for the infantrymen al
though they did tally more than a
third of their total points. Douglas
hit on a set shot. Sandlin put a
crip shot through the net and the
score read 34-12.
Smith again came to the fore and
deposited a crip shot to rack up
two more infantry tallies.
From this point on the game
went all to the Athletes as the
final tally read 40-19.

Ph. At.-2449
and Cleveland, before World War
I interrupted his career. Even the
army chose to utilize his teaching
ability rather than giving him his
choice of overseas service.
In the early part of his career,
Wilcox fluctuated between teach
ing and railway accounting. He re
turned to the latter at the war’s
end, but soon joined the Agricul
tural Extension Service as an em
ergency demonstration agent in
Limestone county.
Then, after serving for a time
as principal and vocational agri-
cultUre teacher at Jacksboro high
school, he was one of the oragn-
izers of A&M Consolidated High
School in 1920 and divided his time
between the college and the high
school, which he served as princi
pal. He later served as superinten
dent of Consolidated before becom
ing a full-time employee of the
college in 1925.
Degree From A&M
Wilcox received a bachelor’s de
gree from A&M in 1923 and studied
in the summers to obtain a mas
ter’s degree at Columbia Univer
sity. He also has completed course
work for a Ph. D degree at Texas
University,
post of Texas education commis
sioner, and even his statement that
a younger man, who had been
more recently connected with pub
lic schools, should be the choice
did not deter his supporters.
Aside from having taught in
Texas 35 years, Wilcox has served
as a leader in many educational
organizations. He has been vice
president and president of the Tex
as State Teachers Association and
a member of the Rural Education
Committee and the Advisory Com
mittee on Public School Finance
of the National Education Asso
ciation. He served six years as a
member of the State Board for
Teacher Retirement and is a char
ter member of the Texas School
of the Air Board of Directors and
the Texas Council for Teacher Ed
ucation.
A charter member of the College
Station city commission, Wilcox
served eight years on the commis
sion before retiring voluntarily.
Authored Articles.
He is author of a number of ar
ticles, which have appeared in
school magazines, and of a civics
textbook, “In a Democracy,” ap
proved in Texas in 1941 and in New
He received wide support for the Mexico a year later.
Widely known among school ad
ministrators, he is secretary of
the Texas School Administration
Conference which meets at A&M
every summer.
According to Wilcox, teaching is^
more than a matter of text. It is
the teacher’s job, he says, to give
his students the keen understand
ing and alertness necessary for
wholesome living.
He endeavors to give his stu
dents, who will become teachers?
a sympathetic point of view, which
they may pass along to their own
students.
The graduate program in the
A&M Education and Psychology
Department is aimed at helping
teachers keep abreast of develop
ments in their field and at promot
ing better school administration.
Education is an evolutionary
process, Wilcox says; there is no
way to go but forward.
