But even the old, old timers can’t remember it having snowed in the Rio Grande Valley. With tempera ture in the 80’s there was only one thing to do—rig it. Here we see Santa’s helper, Shirley Tobola of Harlingen, trying out the artificial snow that was dropped from a plane flying low over the parade route.

One of the main features of the Junior Engineering Technical Society’s southwest regional lead ership conference here Saturday will be an awards luncheon honor ing clubs and individuals. The society, better known as JETS, is a pattern for high school extracurricula clubs to stimulate interest among junior and senior high school youths in engineering and science careers. Purpose of the conference is to bring together at all levels those interested in the promotion and success of the organization. It is being held in co-operation with JETS, Inc., of East Lansing, Mich. Among those individuals to be recognized at the luncheon will be Frank: Oppenheimer of New York City, president' of the Gramercy Guild Group and the man who has made available the Gramercy JETS Scholarship. The $250 annual scholarship in Texas has for the past three years gone to Donald Patton of College Station, a junior mechanical en gineering student at A&M. Patton was a JETS club member when he attended A&M Consolidated High School. The scholarship can go to the same student for four years if he maintains a satisfactory academic standing. Texas awards will go to the Connally High School of Waco for having the outstanding JETS club. C. T. Hudson is the club spon sor. Mrs. Marie Mosman of Muenster High School at Muenster will be honored as the state’s outstand ing club sponsor. For Louisiana, the outstanding JETS club award will go to Is- trouma High School at Baton Rouge. And Miss Gertrude Creag- han of the Istrouma school and William Lignos of Baton Rouge will receive honors as top faculty advisors. The outstanding company award goes to the Esso Standard Oil Co. of Baton Rouge. Speaker at the luncheon will be Dr. John C. Calhoun, vice chancel lor for engineering at A&M and a member of the board of directors of JETS, Inc. J. G.

The Senior class of A&M Con solidated High School will present Moss Hart and George S. Kauf man’s three-act comedy, “The Man Who Came to Dinner” Thursday at the high school auditorium.

During his six weeks of conva lescing in the Stanley home, ;Whiteside utterly destroys do-; mestic tranquility. Strange gifts from his friends further compli cate things; for Mrs. Stanley is forced to harbor penguins in her library, an octopus in her cellar, and 10,000 cockroaches in her kitchen.
