Our organization isn't the first time that Texans, Texophiles, and lovers of the southern and southwestern culture have expressed their individualty and pride, back in 1956 several Stanford underclassmen got together to form The Texas Club. Recently one of the founders, Mr. Chuck White ('59), wrote to the STC to let us know about our predecessors, saying the club was founded because a group from his frosh class wanted "to assure a non-dorm picture in the Stanford Quad". Mr. White wrote us a fun letter describing a few his club's antics, from "barbecuing to beer runs". The Texas Club faded from Stanford existence, not long after the founding members graduated (1959 or therabouts). |

| In accordance with the running Texas theme, all male Texas Club members were appropriately dubbed "Tex." The Stanford Texas Club wishes to keep the channels of communication with other Texans and Texophiles open. We welcome letters, humorous anecdotes, and relevant information, etc. from any other former Texas Club members, any members of similar organizations elsewhere, and any one who'd just like to say "howdy y'all" to us. |
