W. W. Reed
Tours Southwest Texas
On a recent trip through South-
west Texas Professor W. W. Reed,
head of the Animal Husbandry
Department at Tarleton, selected
an Angora buck from the J. B.
Reagan flock at Leakey, Suffolk
ram from the G. H. Forester ranch
near Del Rio and a Southdown
ram from the Aiipe Frank Real
flock near Kerrville for use in
the Tarleton herds.
Professor Reed, who rarely mis-
ses a chance to visit and .'talk with
his ranchmen, friends throughout
West TexaSj reports an interesting
trip and states that he always
gets valuable teaching and man-
agement information on such
visits. In fact, Reed admits that
if he has a hobby it is traveling
in the Western states and reading
■historical stories of the develop-
ment of those states. During the
past four summers he has traveled
rather extensively in six of the
Western states and has gathered
livestock information to,, be used
in his classes.
• He holds both a Bachelors and
a 'Masters degree from Texas A&M
College and has served twent/
three .years in the agricultural
field. At Roby, where- he taught
"Vocational, Agriculture for eleven
years., he developed four ' state
champion judging teams, won six
area championships and did not.
lose a district contest. He is espe-
cially proud of his state champion
Chapter Conducting team of 193G:
37. This team composed of twelve
boys were guests of honor at
the Cottonseed Crushers Conven-
tion in S n Antonio where they
enacted a parliamentary play bas-
ed on the use of cottonseed meal
in livestock rations, a play written
by Reed for use by his team in
the Area Four contest. This team
performed before Lions and Ro-
tary clubs in several West Texas
towns as well as in chapel pro-
grams in many of the high schools
in. the area, and received National
recognition and an expense paid
trip to give their program before
an audience of 5000 people at the
National F. F. A. contention in
Kansas City. While in Kansas City
Professor Reed and his team were
given a banquet by the Kansas
City Life Insurance. Co., enter-
tained with a trip to the American
Royal Livestock Show and a the-
ater party and a trip to the Sni-
A-Bar livestock farm near Kansas
City.
A thrill of a lifetime was 'had
by the ,team when they were given
a police escort for their four car
caravan from their downtown hotel
to the city limits when with
screaming sirens the escort and
caravan ran every red signal light
enroute. Reed admits that although
he had winning livestock judging
teams and winning farm shop
teams that he is partial to this
group of boys and with a mix-
ture of pride and sorrow points
to their record—three of the boys
lost their lives in. World War II,
all of them were officers with one
being decorated and promoted on
-the battle field. One of them flew
51 missions over Europe, one sur-
vived the Bataan Death March and
was rescued in Japan. Six of the
12 boys attended A&M College and
the rest attended colleges in Texas.
One is now a lawyer, another is
a pharmacist, one is a teacher and
has served as a county agent and
is novy ranching. Two of them are
farming and ranching, another
owns a grocery store while the
others hold excellent positions with
commercial organizations.
While at Robjf, Professor Reed
served nine. years as senior class
sponsor, coached the senior plays,
served three years as district

awarded the honorary "Lone Star.
Farmer Degree" for outstanding
work in his field and the Roby
High School annual was dedicated
'to him. in 1938.
In 1939 Reed resigned at RobJ
to organize the first agricultural
department in the larger Mineral
Wells school system. At Mineral

Pinto County Livestock Show, ser-

Marguerite in "Faust," Nedda in

Typical of her musical and dra-

has sung with some of the coun-

operetta companies, including the
St. Louis Municipal Opera, De-

ed, Hilary now has the endowed
pleasure of sweeping up after this
scoundrel, which is by now well on
his way to the next class.
Now that the "student" is gone
to the next class, Hilary usually
secures himself a barrel and fills
it with the"Catt]els" which should
have been in the ash tray, but
where were they—on the floor, in
the chairs, on the window sills, be-
hind the juke box and a dozen
other places.
Something new has been added
to the girls' parlor! Have you •
noticed it? It is the grease film on
the back of some of those beautiful
divans. Looks like lube oil, axle
grease, or something equally as
hideous—just plain dirt. Too bad
Stephenville is out of soap and
water.
A little time on the part of some
of you boys and a little "Lifeboy"
would prevent a lot of this. The
girls in the dorm have just recent-
ly cleaned those lounges and so
let's try-to keep them that way.
And just a note of advice to you ..
guys who "bathe" your head in
hair oil before each date, remem-
ber that you spent good money for
that hail' oil; there is no need for
you to leave some of it on the
lounges in the dorm parlor. So re-
member, let's i;ry to keep the oil
level as law as'ypossible over there.
Our student facilities will remain '
no cleaner or nicer than what you
students want them to be. If yo.u
try to keep' them clean they will
always look new and will show that
we as a student body have pride
and appreciate the things that the ,
school has furnished us. Otherwise
they will appear slightly different.
—Let's not let. this happen.
