TOP TALENT ON TAB
61 Aggie Follies
Looms Entertaining
By TOMMY HOLBEIN
Beautiful female vocalists, com
edy hillbilly musicians, trampoline
acrobats and an authentic melo
drama, “She was Only A Farmer’s
Daughter,” will all be a part of
the Aggie Follies, 1961, to be pre-
sented during Parents’ Weekend
May 12-13.
Bigger and better than ever be
fore, this year’s Follies will fea
ture a cast of over 30 entertainers,
with a star-studded program of
top-notch talent.
Melodramas generally come to
the A&M campus but once a year,
and this year’s Aggie Follies re

Cmon, Dick! You’re rationaliz
ing. Jockey support 1 might never
have secured you against the
Emperor 2 . But it certainly would
have provided snug protection
against the physical stresses and
strains of your active life. Your
armorer never tailored a coat of
mail more knowingly than Jockey
tailors a brief—from 13 separate,
body-conforming pieces.
1. Other "imitation” briefs (copies of the
original Jockey brand) have no more
Jockey support than a limp loin cloth.

masterpieces, “She Was Only A
Farmer’s Daughter,” to he per
formed by the Aggie Players on
the stage of Guion Hall.
Last year during Parents’ Week
end, the Players had a similar
production, “Dirty Work At The
Crossroads,” and this year’s pro
gram is similar but filled with
more entertainment in the form
of entra acts.
One of the many top attractions
will be Glenda Fagan, female vo
calist originally from Marshall,
Tex. Graduating from Marshall
High School in 1957, she obtained
the “Miss Marshall of 1957” title'
and “Miss Congeniality of 1957”
title at the Miss Texas Pageant in
Kerrville, Tex.
Following graduation, she at
tended Centenary College in
Shreveport, La., and was a mem
ber of the Zeta Tau Alpha soror
ity. She was Cotton Ball Duchess
representing Harrison County
A&M Mothers’ Club in April, 1959
and sweetheart of the Harrison
County Hometown Club of 1960.
Previous musical background of
the talented singer includes sing
ing with the Texas All State Choir
in 1957 as a member; singing for
over 45 weddings, and on various
talent shows in Texas and Louisi
ana. She is the wife of Walter
Fagan, fifth year architect major.
Another top act in the program
will be the “Flying Tramps,” a
comedy trampoline team consist-,
ing of Daryl Good, Charlie Teas,
Henry Walton, and David Groves.
Their 10-minute precision routine,
which has become famous for per
formances at basketball game
half-times, will add a zesty thrill
to the evening’s entertainment.
Performing a dual role as drum
mer and magician on the show will
be Dave Woodard, fifth year archi
tecture student from Houston.
Woodard has one act scheduled
showing versions of different types
of drummers. Later during the
show, he will once again go on
stage as a mystifying magician.
Filling the show with laughs,
country-style, will be the “Sacred
Heart Golden Jubilee Gospel Sing-
firs, Five,” consisting of Jim Hud
son, Butch Edwards, Olin Brown
and Hugh Majors. It is explained
that their fifth membez’, “Luke,”
can’t perform, “because he is al
ways drunk.”
Annette Adams, student at Ste
phen F. Austin High School, will
also add three numbers vocally
to the program.
From Consolidated High School

It's so very easy for parents and
their children away at school to keep
in touch these days. Especially with
the convenience and economy of
today's long distance telephone

So next time you’d like to be with

and call them long distance. It's
economical, convenient and has the
