The New Year
Summer, 1955, is rapidly drawing to a close.
For the students of the local public schools, next Wed
nesday is the first day of school. For Aggies, well, they’ve
got a couple of weeks left—except for new students who
will come in Sept. 9. *
As far as education is concerned, this is the new year.
So Happy New Year to everybody.
Now when New Year’s Day approaches, everybody is
supposed to make some resolutions—a rather ridiculous thing
to do since no one ever sticks by the rules he sets for him
self.
But this would be a good time to re-evaluate just where
you—student, parent and faculty member—are going in life.
Are you going down the easy trail of allowing yourself
to fall into set habits, of letting others do all the work toward
bettering the school and community?
Or are you one of the few—the persons who are inter
ested in what is going on around them, the ones who actively
support the organizations, school, civic and service, which
are valiantly keeping our community the kind of place we
like it to be?
Many groups need your support, in the form of either
financial help or personal participation. Just a few of them
can be quickly listed.
The Mothers and Dads Clubs at the Consolidated white
schools and at Lincoln.
The Band Boosters Club at the high school. They’re
still trying to pay for the band uniforms.
The Whirlpool Fund." This is a fund being headed by
J. B. Carrol, 20 Norton St., City, to raise $585 for a Whirl
pool Bath for Consolidated School. It would be available to
all students of the* school, would be used to facilitate the
healing of injuries such as sprains, strains, deep bruises and
pulled muscles. So far, the report given on the fund is that
it has been pretty slow going.
And coming up will be Community Chest, Easter Seal,
and more. These serve the community and deserve your
support.
It was a good summer. Congratulations are due all those
who worked on the various recreation committees. But it’s
over.
Now let’s make it a good fall and winter.

BENGETTI
This can be made up the day before and cooked the next day.
And it is almost as good heated over.
1 No. 2 can peas (optional) ,
x /z lb. cheese
Tabasco sauce (optional)
Worchestershire sauce
(optional)
114 lbs. twice ground veal
Wz lbs. twice ground beef
2 good-sized onions
1 can cream of tomato soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 pkg. (8 oz.) medium noodles
Bi’own ground meat with onions, and add tomato and mushroom
soups. Cook noodles, and wash with hot water. Drain the can of
peas and save the juice, in case it is needed. Then make a layer of
noodles, peas and meat in a shallow baking pan. Add juice if it
seems to dry (it may be, especially if you made it up the day befoi’e).
Slice thin the cheese and put the slices on top. Bake in oven at 325
degi-ees until cheese melts down (about 14 hour).
SEVEN-BOY CURRY
Cook and dice a 3-lb. stewer (or shrimp, lobster, cx - ab or lamb).
Saute one cup chopped onion (about 114 onions) in chicken fat to gold
en brown. Use wooden spoon. Add to onion 214 or 3 T. curry powder,
2 t. salt, 3 T. flour, 1/8 t. cinnamon and 14 t. ginger and blend. Add
chicken with 4 cups chicken stock and cook. Add one cup chopped
apple and 14 to 14 cup seedless raisins and heat. (Omit the raisins
for lobster or ci’ab.) Add 14 cup cream and reheat. Use as condiments
for the top Major Gray’s chutney, sieved egg white, sieved egg yolk,
peanuts (chopped fine), grated onion, toasted coconut, or fried bacon
(chopped fine). Serve with x-ice.
If you want to use canned chicken, it works fine. Also if this
is made the day before, wait to add the raisins, as they swell.

ESCALLOPED CORN
As the Southei’ners love their hominy, okra and black-eyed peas,
so the people of the northern states love their corn. Since evei'yone
knows how to fix corn on the cob, I shall enclose my escalloped corn
dish. I make it strictly the way it was handed down to me, by pinch
of this and that.
2 cups cream style corn Salt and pepper
1 egg % cup ci'acker crumbs
4 T. melted butter % cup hot milk
Mix all together and pour into a buttei'ed baking dish. Bake for
thii’ty minutes in a modei’ate oven. Serves six. I have sometimes
added a little onion and green pepper for valuation.
TWO HOUR BUNS
Put into a large bowl or pan three cakes of compressed yeast,
14 cup sugar or less, two whole eggs and two cups warm water. Beat
until foamy. Then add three tablespoons shortening, a bit of salt,
seven cups of flour. Knead just enough to mix well. Let x-ise till
double in bulk. Make into buns, coffee cake, cinnamon rolls, or what
ever you wish. Let rise once more, then bake 15 or 20 minutes.
FROSTED CREAMS
This is a very old recipe, handed down from generations on, and
no wonder—they are so good with coffee.
1 cup lai-d 1 t. cinnamon
1 cup white sugar 1 t. ginger
1 cup molasses 1 t. soda
2 eggs 4 scant cups flour
Let the laid, sugar and molasses come to a boil. Take off and
cool. Add % cup warm water. Add beaten eggs, then the dry in
gredients slowly. Spread into tins about 14 inch thick. Bake in a
moderate oven. Frost and cut into squares.

! Students Attend
YMCA Meeting
Three students represented the
A&M YMCA recently at the cen
tennial anniversary of the World’s
Alliance of the YMCA held in
Paris, France.
They were Garrett W. Maxwell
of San Antonio, who was president
of the A&M YMCA last year;
Richard H. McGlaun, Cincinnati,
Ohio, who will be program chair
man for the coming school term;
and Edward B. McGowan, Bryan.
In addition to the Paris meeting,
the three students made extensive
tours over the European continent
before and after the centennial.
Letters to J. Gordon Gay, general
secretary of the YMCA, said 10,000
delegates at Paris represented 72
countries and that the meeting was
an outstanding experience which
made a deep impression on the
three A&M delegates.

Want those stuffed eggs you’re
taking along to the picnic to taste
extra good ? Mash the yolks with
