Dear Sir:
Believing that you might be inter-
ested in the achievements of one ot
your local boys. Warren Higgins, we
wish to submit the following:
Warren Higgins who is classified as
Soph more at the Agricultural anil
Mechanical College of Texas and ma-
joring in Animal Husbandry has been!
recognized and highly commended of
late for his endeavor in the fields of
study and student activities. He has
I een accepted into the Saddle and Sir-
loin ( lub which is an honorary or-
ganization for students who show
outstanding ability in Animal Hus-
bandry.
At the beginning of this year he
was promoted to the rank of Corpor-
al and in the event that he persues
the study of Military Science through
his two forthcoming years here h-
will undoubtedly become one of th?
highest ranking cadet officers in his
organization.
At present he t;; connected with th
Landscape Art Department and has
been found to be very competent in
that field.
He follows his studies with a dili-
gence that belies the fact that he en-
ter* into , very student activity pos-
sible. He is a member nf the Herders
Fraternity and well known and liked
by the student I* dv
We sincerely hope Warren will be
in some way recognized for his ac-
complishments b-cause knowing him
a- well as we do we fulh realize that
hi.- modesty will undoubtedly keep
him from revealing the credit due him
Respectfully vours,
