Ag-Ex Named Grand Master
John T. 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

Georgraphic Society, that there

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.
