ball” trade at A&M.
On the recent trip to California
with the Air Force DMS flight,
Mehaffey had performed to the
entertainment of all present show
ing how to really “do the bop.”
After the dance he took his part
ner back to her table and told a
Colonel sitting there that he really
had a wife a man could be proud
of, the Colonel grinned, and told
Mehaffey—“Thanks son, but my
wife is sitting right here.”
Seemed that the red-faced Me
haffey had been dancing with a
captain’s wife all the time.—Tch,

The Aggie football “language
account” should reach a consider
able sum if violations continue to
mount up like they did during a
practice last week.
The rules: for cursing, a
player pays 25 cents; for a coach,
$1; and for Coach Paul (Bear)
Bryant, $10.
It seems that after one after
noon’s practice, Bryant owed the
account $230.

Saturdays are magic days for
Aggies. No more classes, no more
look-a-like suits (temporarily,
anyway. It’s time to head for
“Hometown” and have a weekend
of such magnitude that it will
shirt out “blue Monday.”
This was not the case of one
Ag who came back Sunday, with
out that all-over weekend glow.
It seems his girl had given him
up for Lent.
“About a month ago I informed
Superintendent Richardson that I
would not be back next year,” his
statement said. “Recently patrons
have approached me and asked if
I would allow them to draft me for
the superintendency. To those
school patrons who have expressed
such high confidence in me, I am
eternally grateful.”
Riedel was born in Yorktown,
Tex., in 1921. After graduating
from high school there, he entered
A&M in 1940 and left in 1942 to
serve three years as a bomber pi
lot with the Eighth Air Force in
England.
Returning to A&M he received
his MA degree in Education. Dur
ing the 1946-47 school year he
taught in Greenville, Miss.
Riedel came to Consolidated in
1947 as Industrial Education teach
er and helped organize the A&M
Consolidated Junior High in 1949.
He has served since then as prin
cipal of the junior high.
