Fifth Aggie brother takes
used senior boots proudly
by Dennis Prescott
Battalion Reporter
When Pat Perryman puts on
his senior boots this fall, it won’t
be the first time they have
pounded the sidewalks of Texas
A&M University. Perryman will
be wearing the same pair of
boots four of his brothers wore
as seniors in the Corps of
Cadets.
The brothers from Freeport
also have rented the same post
office box at the Memorial Stu
dent Center since 1966 when
Gerald Perryman Jr. came to the
University as a freshman.
The boots were made in 1968
for Gerald, who graduated in
1970. Fat said the tradition be
gan when his brother Thomas,
Class of ’72, wore the boots.
Since then, Lawrence and
Robert Perryman, Classes of ’76
and ’78 respectively, have worn
the boots, and now it’s Pat’s turn.
Pat said all five wear the same
size shoe, but the size of the
boots has been altered once. The
boots now have new soles, but
that is the only other repair ever
made on them.
The brothers have their
names engraved on metal plates
inside one of the boots.
“I’m very proud of these
boots,” Pat said, “because I know
of some people who wear boots
for one year and really get them
ragged out.”
He said when he gets through
with the boots, he and his
brothers plan to put them, along
with the spurs, in a glass case and
present them to his parents.
“We’d probably fight over
them, otherwise,” he said.
Maintaining the same post
office box was never a problem
until Robert graduated in 1978.
In order to keep the box, the
brothers rented it for a year un
til Pat came to school.
Gerald is a captain in the Air
Force stationed in Omaha, Neb.
He was a zoology major at Texas
A&M. Thomas and Lawrence
were management majors and
Robert was a finance major. Pat
is majoring in mechanized agri
culture and said he isn’t sure
what he will do when he finishes
school.
“Maybe I could drive tractors
down the highway,” he said,
“with my degree hanging on the
side.”

Battalion Staff
The Texas A&M Corps of
Cadets will march to the Brazos
River Saturday for an afternoon
of fun and games and to raise
money for the Brazos County
March of Dimes.
“March to the Brazos is also
significant because it is the first
time the juniors really take com
mand,” Corps Adjutant Glinn
White said. “They will be totally
in charge of the march back to
campus.” Following the march,
juniors in many outfits are given
some senior privileges and re
sponsibilities, Bruce Dunn, regi
ment commander, said.
Cadets will leave at 8:30 a.m.
to march seven miles through
campus and along FM 60 to the
Brazos River. There they will be
greeted by three Dallas Cowboy
Cheerleaders.
The Corps hopes to raise
$23,000 for the March of Dimes
this year. Each cadet set a per
sonal goal of $15, White said.
Outfits are also encouraged to
set monetary goals, he said.
Cadets raised about $ 18,800 last
year, he said.
Cadets have been collecting
money since before Spring
Break, White said. The cadet
collecting the most money will
receive a one-fifth karat
diamond for his senior ring,
Larry Warnock, Corps adminis
tration sergeant, said. A keg of
beer will be given to the outfit
raising the most money. Other
prizes donated by area mer
chants will also be awarded, he
said.
Outfits will compete in tug-of-
war, stretcher races and sack
races, White said.
One outfit will be awarded a
streamer on the basis of overall
participation, he said.

United Press International
SANTA FE, N.M. — A ruling
by the New Mexico Supreme
Court in favor of the New Mex
ico Boys Ranch will make that
organization $13.20 richer, but
hidden behind the decision is
the potential for a much greater
increase in its assets.
In a unanimous decision
Tuesday, the high court upheld
the validity of a Clovis woman’s
will which left her estate to the
ranch.
The balance of the estate in
question is $13.20.
The full impact of the court’s
ruling, however, could affect the
outcome of a suit pending in
U.S. District Court in Albuquer
que to set aside a trust entered
Police department sponsors
Easter egg hunt April 10
The College Station Police De
partment will hold an Easter egg
hunt for children 10 and under
on the station grounds at 10 a.m.
April 10.
Children will be divided into
three age groups for the hunt,
and more than 15 dozen eggs
will be scattered across the
grounds.
Cheryl Weicker, of the police
department, said every child will
win a prize. Prizes include can
dy, toys and a special 3-foot stuf
fed rabbit. The Easter bunny
will also be on hand to award
Pooh’s Park ride passes.
Prizes are being donated by
TG&Y, Dillard’s, Gibson’s,
Skaggs, Eckerd’s, Circus of
Toys, K-Mart, Wilson’s, Claude
Davis and Feather Crest Farms.
Participants must register at
TG&Y, on Texas Avenue, by
Friday.

into before the Sept. 18, 1979,
death of Mary E. Martin of
Clovis.
That trust left Martin’s 2,300-
acre Roosevelt County ranch to
the Boys Ranch. The Martin
ranch is in or near the oil- and
gas-rich area of eastern New
Mexico, Boys Ranch director
Mike Kull said Tuesday.
At issue is an appeal to Mar
tin’s will filed by her first cousin,
Rosa Hanvey of Plainview.
Hanvey appealed a decision
by Curry County District Judge
Fred Hensley, who had ruled
that Martin’s will left her entire
estate to the Boys Ranch.
The Court of Appeals over
turned Hensley and ruled the
estate should go to Hanvey.

RAIDERS OF
THE LOSTARK
That prompted the Boys Ranch
to appeal the decision to the
Supreme Court, which unani
mously overturned the appeals
court and upheld Hensley’s de
cision.
John Carr, an Albuquerque
lawyer who represents the Boys
Ranch, said the $13.20 in per
sonal property that was left in
Martin’s estate following pay
ment of all outstanding debts is
not at issue.
The real issue, he said, is the
federal court challenge by Han
vey to set aside the trust that
Martin established prior to her
death. In that trust, she left the
Roosevelt County ranch to the
Boys Ranch.
If Hanvey can establish a
right to inherit Martin’s estate,
she boosts her chance to inherit
the ranch if the trust is set aside,
Robb said.
