Bean of El Paso was re cently installed Grand Master of the Masonic Lodge of Texas. For anyone to reach this high fraternal post is a signal honor — but for John Bean it was more. Bean could look back to his col lege career at A&M—as far back as 1931, when he received his bach elor’s degree in agriculture or back to 1941 when he received his master’s degree in agricultural ed ucation. At A&M he worked as an assist ant herdsman at the horse barns to earn his way through college. Bean was a member of the Live stock Judging Team, the’ Saddle and Sirloin Club and the A&M De bating Teams of 1932-1935. He had come to A&M from the Masonic Home and School which he entered in 1920 at the age of six. His father, James B. Bean, was a Texas ranger and United States mounted customs inspector. His mother was Isabel McGovern Bean, prominent church and civic worker at Esperanza, Texas. While in the A&M Corps of Ca dets he was assigned to Company H, Infantry, commanded by Presi dent Earl Rudder. Today, Bean serves his fellow Astronomers once thought there were oceans on the moon. Now they know, says the National Georgraphic Society, that there are none. man as superintendent of schools, El Paso county, while also engag ing in farming and ranching in El Paso, Hudspeth and Culberson counties. Bean’s career between gradua tion from A&M and his present po sitions of honor and responsibilities is as interesting as it is varied. He served as vocational agri culture teacher in Whitewright, Sherman, El Paso, Ysleta and Bowie (El Paso) high schools. He was elected El Paso county supei’- intendent in 1951. The top Texas Mason is past di rector of the following organiza tions: Marfa Production Credit Assn., Esperanza Co-op Gin Assn., Buford Cooperative Gin and South western Irrigated Cotton Growers Assn. Bean is a member of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers’ Assn., New Mexico Cattle Growers Assn., El Paso Valley Cotton Growers Assn., Trans-Pecos and the Texas State Teachers’ Assn., Ysleta Lions Club and the First Presbyterian Church of El Paso. This Texas Aggie was twice elected president of the El Paso A&M Club. In the Masonic Order Bean’s rec ord of membership and achieve ments begins in 1935 and includes almost al the honors which the lodge can bestow. He holds mem bership in most of the higher Ma sonic Orders. Bean, who lays no claim to be ing related to Judge Roy Bean of “Law West of the Pecos” fame, has a brother, Woodrow Bean who is El Paso county judge. Another brother, J. B., is a Hudspeth county rancher and farmer. Mrs. Eliza beth Cowan, a sister, is a member of the school board at Sierra Blanca, Tex. Bean and wife, Mabel Mantooth Bean, formerly of McKinney, have one daughter, Annabelle, who is a student at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas. It has been a spectacular career ‘which saw Bean come from the Masonic Orphans’ Home to go on to work his way through A&M and then rise to his present position of leadership in Texas.
