The lents’ assignment was to inter y points toll ,v long-time residents of Brazos $ levelsoflj mtyand get their reactions and )tul in treat; jinents about life. Irs. Bryan, born in 1896, said in interview that she has an vator installed in her home r an. As she was preparing to leave and Beseani a Ladies’ Circle Meeting at the study slm irch, the elevator got stuck with for me, even before I got involved in school art classes.” Sexton said her favorite subjects are wildlife and landscapes. She said when she feels overly ex cited about a painting before it’s finished, something inevitably hap pens. ‘T was working hard on an oil painting of a leopard not long ago and I was feeling that it would really be one of my finest works,” she said. “I was sitting quietly appraising the work I had done so far, when my Irish Setter, Princess, came gallop ing into the room. Before I could stop her, she had her big paws in the oil paint,” Sexton said. “Then she became very affectionate and smeared paint all over my clothes and everything. Sexton said the dog destroyed the canvas and then ran all around the room trying to prevent being caught. Art is Sexton’s hobby. “I can’t af ford to be a full-time artist, for economic reasons,” she said. “I realize that design artists and commercial artists make a decent liv ing, but the market for such profes sionals is very crowded.” She said she makes all the gifts she gives for Christmas and birthdays. Sexton said art has always been an emotional release for her. “Children should he encouraged to develop art skills, if for no other reason (than emotional release). “I know that I can’t please every body with my art,” she said. “And I don’t paint for that reason. Art is a very personal matter, a matter of self-expression. ’’ Sexton said she sold her first paint ing when she was a student at East ern Hills High School in Ft. Worth. “When another person can enjoy something I paint, it doubles my satisfaction.” Retired professor sets up ag engineering scholarships Record number to graduate this weekend Almost 2,500 students will receive degrees from Texas A&M University Friday and Saturday in ceremonies commemorating the school’s cen tennial.

" law, who lived next door, might come outdoors and hear her yell. About six or seven minutes after her prayer, Mrs. Bryan had a feeling that her daughter-in-law was outside and began yelling. A short time later her daughter-in-law found her and ■got her out. Later, Mrs. Bryan asked her daughter-in-law why she had come outside; she said that she had been preparing to wash her hair when she got the strangest feeling that she must go outside. Mrs. Bryan said of the incident, “If anybody says that they don’t be lieve in prayers, I don’t even listen to them. ’ It seems like all of Mrs. Bryan’s other prayers have been answered, especially those having to do with illness. She was asked to be the principal of a Bryan Baptist school when she broke her ribs. With her unusual faith, she prayed, “Lord, if you want me to do this, I have to be healed. ” A couple of days later she was healed and was able to function as the prin cipal, she said. Her main purpose in life was to spread the gospel, she said. Even though she enjoyed living on earth, she could not wait until the day she would he with her Lord. Two “Mr. and Mrs. Fred R. Jones Scholarships in Agricultural En gineering” have been established at Texas A&M University. Director of Development Robert L. Walker said the $400 scholarships for upperclassmen will become ef fective for the 1976-77 school year. Professor and Mrs. Jones made the $12,000 endowment, with Dr. Ed ward Hiler, head of the Agricultural Engineering Department in atten dance. Professor Jones joined the staff at Texas A&M in 1921 and in 1940 was named head of agricultural engineer ing. In 1946 his duties were ex panded to include overall supervi sion of research and extension as well as instruction. When he retired in 1958, approximately 750 students had received graduate and under graduate degrees in agricultural en gineering during his tenure. He authored the textbook “Farm Gas Engines and Tractors” pub lished in 1932, 1938 and 1952. He is a life member of the American Soci ety of Agricultural Engineers, of which he has been a member since 1917. Jones also is a member of the American Society of Engineering Education, Alpha Zeta, Tan Beta Pi, Phi Kappa Phi and is a registered professional engineer in Texas. Prof. Jones was recipient of the 1959 John Deere Medal for his nota ble services to his profession and was cited as “one of the great teachers and administrators the agricultural engineering profession has pro duced.
