Lyndal Higgs is an old Ag — not
the kind who marched down Military
Walk in a Corps uniform, but an
Aggie who rode the Toonerville Trol
ley from Bryan to College Station in a
crinkly, pink dress.
“The little stopover was right in
front of the YMCA building,” she
said, smiling at the memory.
“Down in the YMCA in the sum
mertime they had the swimming
pool and that was the main place ev
erybody went. Then they had

Casey’s Confectionary and that’s
where we did all our laughing, talk
ing and courting.”
Higgs, 74, went to summer school
at Texas A&M University in 1924
and 1925 to get her teaching certifi
cate.
In an interview at her home, the
small, neatly dressed woman recal
led the first 37 years of her life as well
as the last 37.
She said just a few girls from Bryan
and the professors’ daughters went
to Texas A&M in the summer.
“Automobiles and girls were taboo
on campus during the winter,” she
said. “The boys would bring their
cars here and then they’d be real nice
to the girls in Bryan so they could
hide their cars in the girls’ garages.”
Those days were fun, she said.
“The football games were just as
wonderful to us then as they are
now,” she said, her eyes twinkling
with excitement.
“We sang Hullabaloo, Caneck!

Caneck! and of course, the Aggie
War Hymn. It’ll always be beautiful
to me.”
“On Sunday afternoons the girls
would go out and park their cars on
each side of Military Walk and watch
the boys march in to Sbisa Hall. That
was quite a thrill, you know. You’d
stand there and look for this one and
that one and they couldn’t dare
wave. They walked with their eyes
straight ahead like the girls weren’t
even there.”
She said they also did plenty of
hell-raising.
“There was a boy from Houston,”
she said, “who could study up more
mischief in 30 minutes. They called
him ‘Fire Chief because he’d go to
the window and wave his handker
chief and then they’d blow the fire
whistle. Then they’d let them all out
to go to the fire.”
Higgs was bom in Roan’s Prairie in
1905. She said her family is proud of
its Texas heritage.
“My great-grandfather had a
league of land in Texas and he was a
slave owner,” she said, “but he never
divided the families.
She continued, pulling at her
short, gray hair: “Just like it makes
me so infuriated my hair stands up
everytime I hear somebody doom
and down the young people. I could
just tear ’em to pieces. All of’em are
not bad. They’re as good as they
were when I came along.
“There’s just more of them and
more opportunities. It’s an entirely
different world.

“I think the young people are posi
tively wonderful. They have prob
lems that we never heard about. We
never heard of the word drugs, we
don’t know what we would have
done had we been exposed to all that
stuff.”
Higgs was graduated from Bryan
High School in 1923 and has lived in
Bryan for 59 years.
“When I came to Bryan,” she said,
“Main Street was just being paved
and there were still hexagon-shaped
horse troughs at each end.”
She taught elementary school for
three years, then had to resign be
cause she married Chester Higgs,
who was with the Agricultural Ex
periment Station at Texas A&M.
“I thought it was sort of stupid,”
she said. “They wouldn’t let married
women teach.”
Higgs, who has been a widow
since 1968, has one daughter, Patri
cia Ann Radulescu of Irving, and four
grandsons.
In the last 12 years she has vaca
tioned in the Caribean, Alaska,
Canada, Sweden, Norway, De
nmark, Finland and Hawaii. She has
a collection of about 60 china cups
and saucers, each with its own spe
cial story she gladly tells, from every
place she has traveled.
Higgs is a history enthusiast. She’s
a member of the United Daughters
of the Confederacy and has held sev
eral offices in the Daughters of the
Republic of Texas.
She - has lived through two world
wars and a depression and said the
world’s present situation worries
her, but she still has a positive out
look on life.
“In World War I we had meatless
days, wheatless days and sugarless
days, so it’s nothing to me,” she said,
clasping her tiny, wrinkled hands in
