Seven Letter men Return Tigers Begin Workouts Only seven returning lettermen will be among the expected 32 member A&M Consolidated Tiger squad that will greet Head Coach Horace Schaffer and his assistants . Monday, as the grid sport gets underway locally. The Tigers will go through twice-a-day workouts beginning Monday and continuing until the start of school. Schaffer, Line Coach Larry Hayes, and Backfield Coach Ed Logan will put the Bengals through their paces every day at 7:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. The main problem facing the coaching crew appears to be in the line, where three lettermen return for the 1956 season. Garland An drews, senior guard, Steadman Davis, junior center and winner of the Best Blocker Award last year, and David McNeely, junior guard, ate the only ’55 monogram winners in the forward wall. The Tigers were dealt a rough blow when they lost sophomore tackle John Beaty, considered to be one of the squad’s most promising lineman, for the season, as he received a broken leg earlier this summer. In the backfield, the TigerS ap pear to be in better shape at the present time with four returning lettermen. Bill Hall, senior halfback who missed most of the ’55 season with injuries, Bill Kavanaugh, jun ior halfback, Edgar Feldman, sophomore quarterback, and Alton Arnold, soph halfback, foi’m a “solid core” in the backfield. For the first time, the Tigers will be competing in Class AA this year. At the recent Texas High School Coaching School in Lub bock, the Navasota Rattlers were picked for the top spot in District 23-AA, the loop in which the Bengals will be playing. Although neither Navasota nor any of the other schools in the league, Caldwell, Bellville, and Cypress-Fairbanks, were in Class A last year as were the Tigers, two of them did play the College Sta tion school in non-district engage- Sept. 7 1956 Schedule Cleveland there Sept. 14 Madisonville here Sept. 21 Rockdale here Sept. 28 Smiley (Houston) there Oct. 5 Giddings here Oct. 12 Tomball there Oet. 19 Navasota here Nov. 2 Cypress-Fairbanks there Nov. 9 Caldwell there Nov. 16 Bellville here 13 CHS Graduates Will Attend A&M Thirteen members of A&M Con solidated High Schools’ 1956 grad uating clas will enter A&M Sept. 9 as freshmen according to J.

College Station Served A&M For 18 Years College Station, now a thriv ing city with a population of approximately 7,000 excluding the campus, has served Texas A&M for nearly 18 years. Although a young city, College Station has already established a fine record. One of its most out standing accomplishments is the budget, now standing at over $1 million. From its birth in October 1938 until 1944, College Station has had two mayors. Since then a city man ager type of government has been adopted. This type of government is composed of a mayor and six councilmen. Ernest Langford has remained in office as mayor of College Station since April 1942. He is also head of A&M’s Archi tecture Department. College Station, represented by three major areas, borders A&M on every side except the west. The South side, which is the oldest portion of the city, is made up of College Park, Breezy Heights, West Park and Oakwood additions. Second in age but first in size is the East side which is made up of College Hills, Woodland, Ring- hoffer, Kelley, and Cooner addi tions. On the North side is the Cul pepper, Boyett and Tauber addi tions; the business area; the churches and the city hall. Each area has a smaller busi ness and shopping center of its own. Mayor Langford said the city’s slogan is “The home of the fighting Texas Aggies” and the officials of College Station try to make it just that to all students. The Battalion ....

Texas Thursday, August 23, 1956 PAGE 7 Rec Council Program A Success The curtain came down last week on the most successful summer pro gram in the history of the Col lege Station Recreation Council. A new part of the program, bowling, had 124 entries. The 8-weeks course, with John Geiger as instructor, was divided in the following manner: three weeks of instruction followed by five weeks of actual competition. Dick and Susan Dowell instruc ted the tumbling classes and had a total of about 80 participants. At the closing exercises, a demon stration by Rosemary Thompson and Margaret Brown brought a standing ovation from tne aggies. Recreation council advisor x o r tumbling was Bill Hensel. Mr. and Mrs. Joe lagan guided two of the council’s activities — golf and the pre-school program, respectively. Golf had 42 taking part, while 40 participated in Mrs. Fagan’s acticity. Baseball and softball also enter ed into the program. With Flake Fisher doing the organizing, a four-team softball league played a round-robin schedule. Adults formed the majority of the parti cipants in this sport. Also being supported by the x.ccreation Coun cil were the ibcai mtue League and American Bcgion baseball and volleyball. For the first time, the T w i n City Junior Rifle Club, which was chartered in 1955, carried its pro gram in cooperation with the council. Postal matches were held with Dallas and Houston. Under the direction of Sid Loveless,, who 1 was assisted by Mac Prescott, Ser- 1 gean Lockey, Rev. Charles Fowler, Prank McCoy, Charles Willis, i Charles LaMotte, and Shirley Can non, the club held its practice ses sions at Pleasant Acres. Coached by Horace Schaffer, lo cal tennis players took part in five out-of-town meets, including the Junior Olympics and the State Junior Development Tourney. This sport was held on the A&M College Concrete Courts. The council also sponsored sev eral otl«er activities, such as base ball and tumbling for Lincoln School, a community picnic and fireworks display on July 4 and a Christmas party last year.

Jgf 1 ' m Have you looked at a church lately? To almost everyone, the sight of a slender steeple raised to the sky evokes certain emotions — awe, per haps, nostalgia, maybe—the sense that by not going to church lately, you’ve been missing something! Next time jmu see a church, take a good look . . . and let yourself really feel what you see. If that makes you decide not only to look at the outside but also to go inside, that will be all to the good. For no matter how lovely a home you may live in, it can’t compare with God’s House. If you open the door, you’ll find that, no matter how long you’ve been away, the welcome is warmer and more wonderful than you’ll find anywhere else. THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . . ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is ’.he greatest fac tor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and sup port the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and ma terial support Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily Day Book Chapter Verses Sunday .
