Mrs. Lee: A First
For Vet School
Relatively early in life, Mrs.
Sonja Oliphant Lee has several
admirable accomplishments to her
credit and at least one distinction
that will follow her for the rest
of her days.
For one thing, she is a skilled
horse trainer. For another, she
will receive the coveted Doctor of
Veterinary Medicine degree at
graduation ceremonies Friday
after six grueling years of study
and work.
And the distinction is that of
the 69 seniors to be awarded
DVM degrees, she will be the only
woman—the first in the 60-year
history of the Texas A&M College
of Veterinary Medicine.
MRS. SONJA LEE AND PATIENT
Dr. E. D. McMurry, assistant
to the dean in the A&M College
of Veterinary Medicine, said
Sonja has maintained a B aver
age, which in this field is an en
viable record and places her in
the top half of her class. She
received a BS degree in veterL
nary science in 1965.

Molly Included
On Duty Roster
Guards stand watch tall and
faithfully at Texas A&M.
The duty roster includes Molly,
three-year-old fox terrier of Miss
Marjorie Morrison in the Depart
ment of Military Science.
The records clerk often leaves
the city on weekends, departing
from the Trigon after work. The
five-pound Molly goes to work
with her Friday afternoon.
Kennel space is at a premium
in the busy ROTC department,
but Molly, named after “The Un-
sinkable Molly Brown,” fits in
well. She’s only nine inches tall
—and not much longer. Margie
puts a towel in her middle desk
drawer, opens it slightly and
transforms the austere surround
ings into a sentinel post.
Molly’s the picture of military
discipline, quiet, obedient, alert
and watchful. She never strays
from her post.
“She stays perfectly quiet un
less someone rattles some keys or
change,” Miss Morrison remarked.
Then, Molly sounds the alarm.
‘She hasn’t bitten anyone yet.”
The small black and white dog
“is a good little watchdog,” she
added. “Her ears are so sensitive,
and at home, if she hears some
thing unusual, she leaps to her
feet quickly.”
A&M cadets walking guard per
form well, knowing adequate re
placements are available.
Ag Engineers
Win 2nd Place
The Texas A&M student branch
of the American Society of Ag
ricultural Engineers has won sec

of meetings, special branch activ

year as first vice-president of the
National Council of Student
Branches.
According to J. L. Butt, exe
