Traditional commence ment exercises were bypassed when the entire class of ’17 left the campus in April. Paul G. Haines, who has called College Station home since 1913, and his classmates transferred to Leon Springs for final officer basic and shipment to World War I military assignments. “IT WAS a glorious moment for my father,” the vivacious journalism teacher remarked. “Now, 50 years after his gradua tion, all his five children have graduated from A&M.” Paul Jr, and Lamar Haines earned degrees in marketing and finance in 1941 and '44. Keith finished work for his agricultural education degree in ’47 and David, state representative from Bryan, was graduated with a business degree in 1951. “I was very proud that P dent Rudder allowed David present the degree to me,” My Edwards said. “It was the ft time he ever wore a cap ai gown. David graduated in uniform.” The walk across the G. Rol White Coliseum stage wrote on four years work by Lela ft her masters degree in educaft MRS. EDWARDS said she ft “been plugging away” at tf. graduate work since the sumnJ of 1962, making only one “B"fti a 2.909 grade point ratio j A&M’s 3.0 system. She start*; graduate work at Texas on jl Wall Street Journal Newspaper] Fund Fellowship. “Daddy didn’t want me to stuip journalism at Texas,” she con. fided, “because he didn’t thift businessmen would treat a won. an reporter right.” Mrs. Ed. wards’ parents allowed her extn time and when she graduated it Texas in 1940—25 years after het mother graduated—Lela had i bachelor of journalism and certil. icate in elementary and secondary education. “Mother and I went to Texas, 1 the wife of apiarist Tom Edwards said. “Daddy and the boys went to A&M.” Texas A&M oceanographers collected seismic profile records of the Gulf of Mexico floor dur ing a January cruise off the coast of Florida. Sub-bottom structure data of the Florida escarpment was charted on the “Star Queen,” an 85-foot fishing boat chartered for the 18-day cruise. The cruise route covered an area up to 150 miles south of Cape St. George, Fla. Seismic reflections made of an area east of the undersea DeSoto Canyon will be studied to solve questions about sub-bott6m struc tures, explained John Antoine, Oceanography Department re search scientist. The canyon delineates an abrupt change from sedimentary bottom on the west to chemical deposition eastward. “Fishermen tell us totally dif ferent catches are made in the areas,” Antoine remarked. Seismic soundings were pro duced by 25,000 joules electrical pulses. “The low-frequency sound was generated every six and four- sevenths seconds,” Antoine noted. Cross-sections of structure were traced to 5,000 feet below the gulf floor. Recordings were made by a specially-designed seven - channel tape recorder on loan to the de partment from Amerada Petro leum Co. A&M personnel on the cruise were oceanography professor Dr. William Bryant, research scien tists Bill Jones and Antoine, geo physics professor Dr. Davis A. Fahlquist, electrical engineer Jim Gilmore and graduate student Bob Andrews of St. Paul, Minn. McGee Will Teach Education Courses Professor Roger V. McGee will go on joint appointment this spring to teach in the math and education and psychology depart ments. McGee first came to A&M 47 years ago and has been a mathe matics faculty member since 1928. In the Education and Psychol ogy Department, the associate professor will be in charge of math education and instruct two of 10 new courses installed for the spring semester, announced Dr. Paul Hensarling. In addition, McGee will have charge of math department trigo- nometx*y instruction and continue teaching in-service institutes for teachers and Academic Year In stitute students. EDUCATION 619, basic con cepts of mathematics, and Edu cation 621, structure of secondary school geometry, will be offered the first time next semester, “Students in these courses will consist principally of area school math teachers,” Dr. Hensarling, department head, said. “Neither of the courses will get into high-powered math,” noted McGee, a Distingiushed Faculty Achievement award Recipient. “Education 619 will be directed toward teachers at elementary and junior high level and empha size structure and logical devel opment of math. Attention will be given to geometry involved in measurements and computations of length, area and volume. THE MATH and education pro fessor said 621 will be slanW more toward geometry. “Founds- tions and logical development of geometry will be covered witk emphasis on structure of matk systems and the nature of proofs involved in mathematical devel opment,” McGee continued. The Math Association of Amei ica and Area Council of Mail Teachers member was an experi ment station mailing clerks: A&M in 1919. He served as prit cipal, teacher and coach in ridian, Bellville and Brys: schools from 1919 through 192' McGee took bachelor and master degrees in mathematics at AAM in 1922 and 1938.
