‘Bloomer Girl’ Cast
Nabs Local Talent
You can barely top the combination Sheila and Sharon
Heavey use to keep themselves comfortable in the current
heat wave. Sheila goes topless with Sharon getting the
topping outside their home in Oakland, N. J., a suburb of
New York City. They’re the 23-month-old twin daughters
of Mr. and Mrs. John Heavey. This picture was taken by
AP photographer Eddie Adams. (AP Wirephoto).
A&M Officials To Ft. Sill
Where do play directors find ac
tors and actresses ?
Here’s the lineup for “Bloomer
Girl,” a musical comedy which will
be presented at A&M University
next Thursday through Saturday
at 8 p.m.
Mary Lou Stanford, a blonde
Baylor University coed home for
a relaxing summer, was recruited
to serve as “Evalina,” the female
lead.
Dr. William H. Andrew, Jr., lo
cal physician, will play the role of
a successful Yankee hoopskirt
manufacturer named “Horatio.”
The sheriff will be Harry Good
ing, A&M System architect who
also is responsible for set designs.
One of the deputies is an A&M
student from Israel, Jon Sharon,
and another is Gordon Hill, a Ste
phen F. Austin High School stu
dent.
Mayor Roland Dansby’s two sons
were recruited. Bill has the male
lead, and Bob will be a big-time
buyer.
Two Brazosport school teachers,
Kathy Gould and Mary Varvel, re
ceived the nod to be prompter and
prop lady, respectively.
Another Coed home on summer
vacation, Jeanne Smith of South
ern Methodist, is learning lines to
play “Phoebe.” Miss Smith is a
soloist in SMU’s choir.
Directors Bob Boone and Mrs.
Billie Jean Barron found a drum
mer in Caldwell, some other music
majors in Bryan-College Station, a
dozen Aggie student wives, local
high school students and A&M
faculty wives.
Charlene Ragsdale and Eveline
Gilmore have designed and made
all women’s costumes for the 19th
Century play.
Mrs. Betty Sholly of Bryan’s
Betty Moore dance studios volun
teered to do the choreography, and
Wallace Johnston of the Memorial
Student Center staff agreed to
construct sets.
“Bloomer Girl,” a musical com
edy with old-fashioned charm, por
trays a hoopskirt manufacturer
whose business is being threatened
with the advent of bloomers.
He carefully marries five of his
six daughters to successful hoop
skirt salesmen, and the sixth, Eva
lina, is defiant. She is passionate
ly attracted to her Aunt Dolly
Bloomer, (Mrs. Lee Hance) an ar
dent suffragette, originator of the
bloomer and believer in the eman
cipation of slaves.
The six daughters, in addition
to Miss Stanford, include Nancy
Muehlstein, Carla Vaughn, Suz
anne Medlen, Fannelle Edwin and
Jeanne Smith.
Five sons-in-law are Andy Oli
vares, Henry Vander Cruyssen,
Skip Wallace, Bob Medlen and Don
Reiser. Jeff, a bachelor who courts
Evalina, is portrayed by Bill Dans-
by.
Other actors and actresses in
clude Ruth Samson, Bernest Evans,
Diana Wierus, Joe Powell, Glen
Collier, Jack Cline, James Burns,
Alex Quisenberry and John Wal-
cutt.
The bloomer girls include Aggie
wives, college coeds, coeds-to-be,
and other local residents.
Three A&M University officials
will be at Ft. Sill, Okla., late this
week to visit 200 Aggies attending
the six-week summer camp for ad
vanced cadets of the Army Reserve
Officer Training Corps.
Participating in the visitation
program are Dean of Students
James P. Hannigan, Dean of In
struction W. J. Graff and Col. D.
L. Baker, professor of military
science.
The 200 Aggies and 1,800 other
advanced cadets in Army ROTC
programs at universities of this
region complete summer training
July 31.
The A&M representatives will
have an opportunity to eat with
the cadets, see activities on rifle
ranges and in the field, and to
meet with the summer camp and
Fort Sill staffs.

THE BATTALION Thursday, July 9, 1964 College Station, Texas Page 3
Water, Water Everywhere
Must Be Properly Treated
The confidence with which man
drinks his water is quite a testi
monial to those responsible for
keeping it safe.
But keeping water safe is be
coming a more perplexing prob
lem, with tons of new waste being
drained into rivers and streams,
points out Leon R. Holbert of A&M
University’s Engineering Exten-
tion Service.
Holbert heads a four-man team
that conducts classes in small and
large Texas towns, from Maud,
Hico and Teague to Dallas, Hous
ton and San Antonio.
He and the other roving instruc
tors—J. R. Bryan, James A. Wil
son and W. A. Mixon—are familiar
faces to many municipal and in
dustrial water superintendents,
sewage operators and others re
sponsible for keeping the water
supply safe.
Last year, 2,009 men attended
58 area schools. The figure is 500
greater than 1962-63 and almost
1,000 higher than 1959-60. The
classes ranged from 8 to 63 in en
rollment.
“Water is our basic necessity of
life,” Holbert warned, “but if it is
improperly treated, it becomes a
vicious enemy. The health of Tex
ans is dependent upon a safe water
supply.”
He mentioned such diseases as
typhoid fever, dysentery, cholera,
hepatitis and perhaps polio can
be caused by water-born bacteria
and viruses.
Holbert and his staff face a
teaching schedule that is filled
through the 1964-65 year.
He credits stiffer legislation
regarding pollution as the greatest
demand for training.
“The 57th Texas Legislature pro
vided for a water pollution control
board to see that municipal, indus
trial and other groups control pol
lution from their respective
plants,” Holbert explained.
Failure to comply with the new
law can result in fines of $100 to
$1,000 per day until the violation
is corrected. Each violation is a
separate offense.
So the Engineering Extension
Service receives the calls for in
struction.
Better trained personnel is only
part of the problem to keep clear,
clean water, Holbert said.
“Many cities are far behind in
providing adequate facilities to
bear today’s abundance of waste,”
the Midwestern University gradu
ate reported.
Problems of delivering safe wa
ter to millions of home owners 24
hours a day, whether it comes
from wells or lakes, are stagger
ing, Holbert continued.
