HOWARD BERRY WILLIAM C. MAYETTE
Head Photographer
Hangs Up Camera
Texas A&M’s chief photogra
pher put the lens cap on a 35-
year career Feb. 1.
Howard Berry, director of the
Photographic and. Visual Aids
Laboratory, will move to Gulf
port, Miss.
A graduate of Mississippi
State, Berry came to A&M in
1931 armed with a “beat-up” 5x7
camera, a contact printer and a
thirty-dollar enlarger. His college
preparation was in entomology
but in those days photography
was a better-paying profession,
he remembers.
★ ★ ★
William C. Mayette, a pho
tography and photo - engraving
instructor at Sam Houston State
College since 1960, has been
named manager of the Photo and
Visual Aids Laboratory at Texas
A&M[.
Frank Tucker, superintendent
of press services, said Mayette
replaces Howard Berry, who re
tired Monday after 35 years’
service.
Mayette earned a master’s de
gree in industrial arts last sem
ester at Sam Houston where he
received a bachelor’s degree in
photography in 1962. In addition,
he had 150 hours instruction in
aircraft engineering at the Air
University at Maxwell Air Force
Base, Ala., and attended Consoli
dated and Douglas Aircraft In
spectors School at Santa Monica
and San Diego, Calif.

“I had no formal photographic
training,” Berry recalled. “I
learned the tricks of the trade the
hard way, through the trial and
error school.”
His photographs have earned
numerous honors and awards in
cluding first place in the national
competition of the American As
sociation of Agricultural College
Editors.
Berry considers people the
most interesting subjects for
photography. His camera has re
corded the activities of thousands
of students and professors and
the campus visits of three U. S.
Presidents.
One of his photos of a Hereford
bull may have drawn the most
amusing compliment of his ca
reer, he believes.
A woman, admiring the bull’s
photograph, told Berry: “You
make the most beautiful pictures
... I want you to photograph
my baby.”
Berry’s tenure at A&M has
been unbroken from 1931, except
for three years of U. S. Navy-
service during World War II. His
son, Howard Jr., is a career Navy
man.
Mrs. Berry is the former Edrie
Conn of Hattiesburg, Miss. The
couple plans to sell their home at
3204 Crane in Bryan and “catch
up on hobbies” in Mississippi.
Berry enjoys woodwork and
metal work and has built much
of the furniture in his home. One
of his chief interests is fishing
and he hopes to spend a great
deal of time pulling “big ones”
from the Gulf.
At the conclusion of a large
meeting recently, someone told
Howard, “We’re all coming down
to Gulfport to visit you and try
the fishing.”
Berry looked over the crowd
and quipped, “That will be fine
. . . just bring your own bait.”
Chemical Engineers
To Represent A&M
Five Texas A&M chemical engi
neers will participate in the na
tional meeting of the American
Institute of Chemical Engineers
in Dallas Feb. 6-9.
Dr. C. D. Holland, department
head, and professors Roland Dar
by and P. T. Eubank, will be
chairmen of technical sessions.
D. M. Groves and N. J. Tetlow,
Ph.D. candidates in chemical engi
neering at A&M, will present
papers covering- their doctoral re
search.
“Principles of Park Adminis
tration” is the title of the first
course to be offered by Texas
A&M’s newly - created Depart
ment of Recreation and Parks.
Dr. Leslie M. Reid, department
head, said the three-hour course
(RP-302) is designed for stu
dents without extensive knowl
edge of the park and recreation
field.
“It’s specifically for those in
terested in learning more about
the scope of this dynamic field,
either with the objective of a
career in this area, or those in a
related discipline who desire
broadening in their program of
study,” Dr. Reid added.
Basic concepts of recreation
are studied, he said, including the
economic and social significance
of recreation in modern society,
and its importance as a use of
natural r e so u r c e s. Past and
emerging developments in recre
ation and park agencies, organi
zations and developments are
considered.
“Finally, the course provides a
broad survey of current develop
ments in recreation and park ad
ministration at local, county, re
gional, state and national levels,
as well as the private and com
mercial sector. Recreation is con
sidered as a profession and as an
area of public service,” Dr. Reid
said.
The Department of Recreation
and Parks is part of the College
of Agriculture’s also-new School
of Natural Biosciences approved
early in 1965 by the Texas Com
mission on Higher Education.
Operation began last September.
Dr. Reid said “Principles of
Park Administration” will meet
Monday, Wednesday and Friday
from 9 to 10 a.m. in Room 314 of
the Plant Sciences Building. Pre
requisites are junior standing, or
approval by the student’s depart
ment head.
He said students wanting addi
tional information are urged to
visit the departmental office,
Room 320 Plant Sciences Build
ing, or call 846-8870.
Experiment Pigs
Die In Veterinary
Laboratory Fire
Fire caused $20,000 to $30,000
damage last week to a Veterin
ary Microbiology swine labora
tory at Texas A&M.
Dr. Charles W. Livingston, as
sistant professor of microbiology,
said a 12:30 a.m. blaze, appar
ently the result of a faulty elec
tric heating system, destroyed
the disease-free swine laboratory.
“We lost five young pigs,” Dr.
Livingston said. “About 10 others
escaped. Ten to 15 brood sows
with 10 to 15 pigs each in pens
around the laboratory also es
caped injury.”
Dr. Livingston said the 30 by
50-foot wooden building with as
bestos siding and aluminum roof
was remodeled about six years
ago and was in good condition.
“The barn held a lot of heating
equipment and new brooding
units,” he noted. “All hogs for
the research foundation herd
come from this facility.”
“T h e hustlingest basketball
team I’ve ever coached,” is the
way Shelby Metcalf describes
this current edition at Texas
A&M. . . .

Let's talk about a career at Boeing...
50-year leader in aerospace technology
Campus Interviews, Thursday and Friday, February 17 and 18
The most effective way to evaluate a com
pany in terms of its potential for dynamic
career growth is to examine its past rec
ord, its current status, and its prospects
and planning for the future, together with
the professional climate it offers for the
development of your individual capabilities.
Boeing, which in 1966 completes 50 years
of unmatched aircraft innovation and pro
duction, offers you career opportunities as
diverse as its extensive and varied back
log. Whether your interests lie in the field
of commercial jet airliners of the future or
in space-flight technology, you can find at
Boeing an opening which combines profes
sional challenge and long-range stability.
The men of Boeing are today pioneering
evolutionary advances in both civilian and
military aircraft, as well as in space pro
grams of such historic importance as
America’s first moon landing. Missiles,
space vehicles, gas turbine engines, trans
port helicopters, marine vehicles and basic
research are other areas of Boeing activity.
There’s a spot where your talents can
mature and grow at Boeing, in research,
design, test, manufacturing or administra
tion. The company’s position as world
leader in jet transportation provides a
measure of the calibre of people with
whom you would work. In addition, Boeing
people work in small groups, where initia
tive and ability get maximum exposure.
Boeing encourages participation in the
company-paid Graduate Study Program at
leading colleges and universities near
company installations.
We’re looking forward to meeting engi
neering, mathematics and science seniors
and graduate students during our visit to
your campus. Make an appointment now
at your placement office. Boeing is an
equal opportunity employer.
