Infamous name
spells trouble
By TIM McCAULEY
If you think that your parents
stuck you with the most unpopu-
lar name in the world consider
the case of Billy McBride. Billy
is a senior from Sweetwater
who is presently student teaching
at Cooper High.
"It all started in my freshman
year" said Billy "when a drug
store called me about some bad
checks. I told them I never did
business there before and forgot
about it.
"Several months later" he
continued "a gas station gave
me the same story and still later
an apartment land lord." The
person they were looking for he
explained was a Bill McBride.
"I kept telling them my name
was Billy W. McBride. They
probably thought I sounded a
little nutty about it but after a
few incidents it starts to get to
you" Billy said.
After a while he began to no-
tice how much his name was

to begin
activities
sponsoring a trail ride for all
students. Growing beards for
Rodeo Week has already begun.
During Rodeo Week the tra-
ditional jail with its sheriff and
his deputies will be in force. In
the past a student was arrested
and put in the cage for wearing
less than 3 articles of western
wear.
The Rodeo Parade will be held
Thursday April 22 and the
some 20 Rodeo Club members
are planning to ride in the pa-
rade as a group.
This year instead of the
Rodeo Week contests being held
Thursday afternoon after a bar-
beque the contests will be the
following day. The contests have
consisted in the past of tobacco
spitting cigar smoking the long-
est beard and the fanciest beard.
During the rodeo perform-
ances the Rodeo Club plans to
use its members for selling pro-
grams of the events and for
working the animal chutes. The
club is presently selling adver-
tising space in the programs to
Abilene area merchants.
(Being discussed is the possi-
bility of having a Best-Dressed
Drugstore Cowboy contest for
the Week's activities.
Sometime after the big week
the Rodeo Club may hold a
Rodeo Play Day. Possible events
may indlude goat tying and
sacking boot scrambling and
the bucking barrel.

"appreciated." "We were on
maneuvers at summer camp and
one of the leaders asked me if
I had any brothers or cousins.
He explained there were two
McBride brothers on post who
were in and out of the guard-
house repeatedly.
"Little things like this could
really begin to give one a com-
plex" McBride-said.
The crowning touch came
when Billy gave a couple of stu-
dents library passes at Cooper
High School where he student
teaches. "They were sent back
to me because the librarian
thought they had forged the sig-
nature of a Bill McBride in
another department" said Mc-
Bride. Hot checks delinquent rent
unsavory characters and even
forged library passes is some re-
cord. " And I didn't do any of it"
asserted Billy.
We believe you Billy W. Mc-
Bride but does anybody else?

ARTIST WITH ICE Jay Maynard manager of Saga Food Services demonstrates his
ability to carve ornate baskets from blocks of ice. This is just one of the "hidden talents"
of the versatile supervisor of Moody Center Cafeteria.
Man of many talents
manages food
By DAVID HARPER
Jesse "Jay" Maynard is a man
of many talents.
Students see him every day in
the familiar setting of Moody
Center Cafeteria where he man-
ages Saga Food Service.
Occasionally a few people see
him in the role of an ordained
minister which he is perform-
ing a wedding ceremony.
Give him a big block of ice
and he becomes an artist the
sculptor of elegant ice baskets
which ' may take up to eight
hours to carve.
In his main job Maynard su-
pervises the serving of about a
half million meals a year in the
cafeteria. This takes up about
68 hours of his work week.
Other tasks such as preparing
and catering fancy meals come
only occasionally and his tal-
ents usually surprise even some
of his best friends. Anyone who
has seen one of Maynard's
famous ice basket scan testify to
his creative ability.
Maynard earned his B.A. de-
gree at Wayland College in
Plainview in 1952. He then
went to Southwestern Baptist
Theological Seminary at Fort
Worth. There he received his
Master of Theology Degree in
1957. He later worked as a
YMCA secretary in Lubbock.
When the president of Way-
land asked Maynard to take over
the food operations there he ac-
cepted the job and took summer
courses at Texas Tech to learn
technicalities of the business.
He stayed at Wayland for
five years then spent a year as
food service director for Lou-
isiana College a Baptist insti-
tution at Pineville. There Saga
Food Service made him an offer

service
and his first assignment was
Hardin-Simmons.
He spent one year here then
was sent to West Texas State
University to open a Saga con-
tract there. He returned to H-SU
five years ago as manager.
Having spent most. of the 20
years on college campuses May-
nard enjoys a good rapport with
students and says he enjoys
working with young people. He
obviously likes the food service
business because as he says a
person must like it to stay
with it.
H-SU's food facilities are
above average Maynard says
although a few items are lack-
ing such as stainless steel drink
stands and ice containers.
