Little buds are sprouting due to warm weather, despite the fact that we haven’t seen measurable rainfall since Thanksgiving.

Cooler weather is coming next week, but I doubt it will stop these buds from growing.

Whenever I See Your Smiling Face

I wanted to share the warm smiles of this couple, shown in one of the montage sections of the 1949 Oklahoma A&M University. The footer at the bottom (not shown here) reads: Good neighbors from everywhere gather in friendly Aggieland.

I also like the little tea cups. Cheers!

Ugliest Man Crowned

48Cactus056What we’ve got here today is bald Brad Bourland crowning the winner of the University of Texas’s 1947 “Ugly Man Contest,” Ed Andrews. I don’t know about you, but Ed is certainly not the ugliest man to which I’ve born witness. Not by a longshot. As a result of the election, the Campus Chest received funds, which the pinned Jimmye Kimmey (that’s what the yearbook says her name is, folks) is delightfully clutching, alongside the repugnant Ed.

I don’t know what I like more in this one: the repeating V sweater, the paper girl’s white overalls, Mrs. Maddux’s sexy but amazingly outdated hairstyle, or the sassy stance she has, hands on narrow hips. I think it’s the stance.
