THE
BROWNWOOD TEXAS TUESDAY
BENNIE B. WILLIAMS-
Ugliest Man On
Campus a Mystery
Mr. Nobs refused to imperil the
mechanism of his camera by
photographing the ugliest men on
the campus so it is not possible
to show you the contestants for
the dubious title of "Ugliest Man."
However since beauty is only
skin deep and at best is an illus-
ive ephemeral thing and often-
times the ones who have the least
beauty of face have the most
beauty of heart the Alpha Beta
Sigma Club decided not to de-
clare a winner in the contest but
to call it a draw. The total amount
of money raised for the March of
Dimes was $168.23 with the Ro-
deo Club raising the most money
l from Professor Stewart's chapel
talk $100.00.
To be of service to the com-
munity is one of the objectives of
the Alpha Beta Sigma Club and
the members feel this was one of
its most worthy projects. Every-
one who had a part in this con-
test will feel rewarded in the
thought that this $168.23 con-
tributed to the March of Dimes
will give some helpless child the
"breath of life" in an iron lung.
