the larger users of raw materials
of Texas cotton.
Only four days remain until the
biggest day of the year will. be
here for the Agronomy Society
which is sponsoring the gala fes
tivities. And members of the So
ciety are expecting—and working
hard—to make this year’s Cotton
Pageant and Ball the “best ever.”
And giving the occasion promise
of being the best will be 160 can
didates for Queen Cotton. It will
be no easy task for the three mem
bers of the Queen Selecting Com
mittee to choose between the 160
beauties, bringing their most
pleasant appearances to charm and
awe spectators.
With Morris Fi'ank, well known
for efficient operation, as master
of ceremonies the Pageant will

amidst a cotton field atmosphere
of fluffy-white cotton bolls.
Then King Cotton John Beaty’s
court will be introduced. Members
include Wayne Allen, Arnesto De
Leon, Bert Hoff, Fausto Yturria,
David Bagley, Harold Byars, Mer
rill Adamcik and Kent Potts.
Continuing the proceedings, King
Beaty will be presented and crown
ed, followed by Miller’s speech.
Then all attention will avert to
the first group of duchesses v as
they are introduced to spectators.
A modern dance act by Miss
Ann Hite of College Station will
be offered as entertainment before
the remaining duchesses are pi'e-
sented.
A calypso number by the Beach
combers, student group led by
Charles Jenkins will contribute to
the festivity while the judges poll
their decisions. To be chosen
will be eight ladies in waiting and
the Queen Cotton. King Beaty
will place the queenly crown upon
the chosen beauty.
A vocal solo by Mi's. R. W. But
ler of Bryan will climax the Page
ant.
Frolicking and dancing will be
gin at 9:30 p.m. with a grand
