Traditionally the M Club is composed of men who have lettered in some varsity sport. This year the organization has expanded to include the letter- men of tennis, golf, and baseball, a new sport to our campus. Under the presidency of Jock Spence, the club has completed many activities this year. A spirited Walkout Day was held early in the fall. It was prob- ably the wettest one in many years, even with the pond at so low a level. The Parents ' Night football game and banquet was on October 22. A project towards the purchase of a whirlpool both for the training room was begun. Funds were secured through the sales of programs at football games. Lou Linville and Wayne Jackson were the official sellers. Members of the club acted as hosts for the high school teams competing in the county, sub- regional, and regional basketball tournaments. In the spring, the members also handled the 1956 District High School Track Meet. This year the club tended the concession stand at basketball gomes for the Student Senate. On January 28, 1956, the annual M Club Dance was held in the Armory. Miss Velmo Swortz was crowned as the 1955-56 M Club Queen. Her at- tendants were the Misses Peggy Morrow and Shirley Dieterich. The yearly picnic completed the activities of the club. Page 112

The Bearcats ' 1955 Football squad showed im- provement over recent years. Coach Ryiond Milner ' s team was most feared for its fine passing attack. Hard playing and defensive work kept the opponents ' score low. Doane College was first to invade Maryville ' s Memorial Stadium. It was a hard fought game both offensively and defensively. The gun secured the scoring at a 7 to 7 tie. Next, the Bearcats encountered Fort Hays. In spite of strenuous playing by the Cats, the final score was in favor of Hays at 21 to 7. After losing to Hays, the locals went to William Jewell. Jewell scored a third quarter touchdown, and in the final minutes kicked a field goal to in- sure their lead. The score was 10 to 0. With a tie and two losses, the fighting Bearcats came up against another rugged team. Cape Page ! 14
