The Women’s Story
Student’s Wives
Have Exams Also
By PEGGY MADDOX
Women’s News Editor
Most of the women in College Station in some way are
connected with the College. If the boys think that exam week
is rough for them, the woman’s side should be considered. The
wives of the married students have found “this week” the
time when the children must be kept .quiet, the coffee pot
brewing, and the wives enduring long and late hours. The
wives have even learned to overlook the cross things said
during exam week. After all, it’s the degree that counts.
Another group of women in College Station that have
hardships to endure now are the professors’ wives. Most pro
fessors do not enjoy exam week any more than the students.
In most cases it is the “little woman” at home that has to
listen to the instructor husband use his short, but forceful
phrases.

Last week the AVMA Auxiliary heard Mrs. Richard Bass,
president of the Women’s Auxiliary to the Texas Veterinary
Medical Association, and elected new officers. Mrs. Jerry Bell

gram and are giving tele-binecular
tests to each child,” he said.

which offers such a service.
