From Campus Court East... can be found a busy campus, on which the students worship, learn, laugh, and joke--putting first things first. Freshman Jamboree Aching feet and tired legs were forgotten Tuesday evening at 7:30 when one of the largest freshman classes ever to be enrolled in ACC gathered in the gym to be- come acquainted, share mutual woes, and laugh off the confusion of the day. To alleviate some of the bashfulness prevailing dates were “arranged” for the evening with a “wholesale pairing off. Upperclass women loyally re- Life in the Dorms . . . Dorm No. 2 MARGARET TOWNSCEND McDonald Council The McDonald Dorm Council is the center of all McDonald after-devotional meetings. A get-acquainted coke party in September began the calendar of events, followed by a Hal- loween costume party. In November two or three hundred visitors came to McDonald’s open house to inspect and pass judgment on the rooms of the 161 or so girls living there. December brought the annual Christmas party and January another get-acquainted party for all new girls in the dorm. A new feature in dorm activities concluded the year’s activities with the second annual McDonald banquet (for the entire dorm and their guests). Miss Vona Ditto is the hostess of McDonald. McKinzie Council Zellner Council Mabee Council Although Mabee Council has not had as much time to function as the other councils have, the record of projects and activities sponsored by the Council is an impressive one. The projects of Mabee Dorm were divided between service to others and improvements of the dorm. Financial aid for Dick Edgar ($50) and Southwest Christian College ($100) was a phase of the Council's projects. Gifts were sent to Billy White, flowers were obtained for special occasions, and a Christmas party for the entire school were on the agenda also. Improvement of the dorm came with the purchase of magazine subscriptions, newspapers, a magazine rack, sticks for newspapers, and a Just Molly and Me . . the support of their “better half” (as the case may be) ... to the married students on the Hill. DORM LIFE ON “THE HILL IS AS VARIED AS YOUR KID BROTHER'S MARBLE COLLECTION . . . . . FROM SENSE TO NONSENSE—AND GOOFING OFF IN GENERAL A Week on the Hill Beginning with Sunday . . . “We gather together to ask the Lord's blessings . . Worship plays an important part in the lives of everyone—teacher, student, or admin- istrator—here on “the Hill.” At ACC all worship God on the first day of death of His Son, to hear the Word read, to sing psalms, hymns, and spir- itual songs, and to pray. Quiet hours are observed from 2 to 4 p.m. in the dormitories on Sun- day afternoons so that students may have quiet for rest or study, as they Blue Monday ... following a near-perfect weekend which could have included any number of delightful exper- iences—from that extra-special date to making a quick trip home? To some, however, whose weekend was less illustrous, it was a great day for getting back into the swing of things . . . MAYBE this week, you thought, you could find your way through that pile of outside reading or that stack of unwritten lab reports. Monday Night Meetings The practice of putting first things first here at ACC is as old as the college itself. Emphasizing spiritual growth, the weekly activities are arranged in such a manner as to cultivate a proper environ- ment for such growth. For example, there are the Monday Night Meetings. so that more young men may have the opportunity to practice speaking, pray- complete service.

Wednes- day dawned amidst the flur- ries of mid-week activities. There you were, the week half gone, and you STILL too, there was the deadline signment looming up mon- Mission Study Class The Mission Study Class under the direction of the Elders of the College Church of Christ met at 6 p.m. before the regular mid-week Prayer work in their particular fields, making the same plea to pray for the work and to come or send workers to carry out the Lord’s divine will. After church services from 9 to 10 p.m. the social clubs met, thus bringing to a close a busy JIMMY SHEERER J. W. CAMPBELL Second Semester Leader First Semester Leader Reg’lar Thursday Thursday is just a reg’lar day like the rest. Many begin looking forward to the weekend, and a great many upperclassmen usually desert the dorms on Thursday night for club functions and an occasional banquet. The day goes about the the ten till eight bell sounds; try to ignore your growling stomach during your 11:30 class, go to afternoon lab, and . . . you’re pretty well fagged out! Before heading for the dorm, though, your clothes are still in the cleaners (they’ve been ready since Tuesday). Finally, you make it to the dorm and, v hat’s this? What could be greater . . . a letter from home! You’re not so tired any more Restless Friday engaged in deep thought in the library in hopes that, as a result, concentrate with a weekend of them it only means enduring the time that must lapse between then and Saturday when the big event, whatever it might be, is Girls' Training Class Under the direction of the Elders of the College Church of Christ, Girls’ Training Class is the only class designed especially for the women on the campus. At 6:30 each Friday evening the girls have a unique op- portunity to hear outstanding speakers, both men and women, from the campus and from Abilene itself. Lessons on such subjects as faith, humility, teaching different age groups, love, and the work of a preacher’s wife are all prepared and presented with the purpose of helping to supply the spiritual need of the girls. Once in a while something phe- nomenal occurs, such as snow! Books are forgotten for a while as nearly everyone flocks out-of-doors for snow fun. Sliding to class can be both fun and disastrous, for obvious reasons, and there is always the immediate “danger” of being ambushed at every turn by frustratingly accurate marks- men armed with a few thousand or so (it seems) snowballs. Men's Forum Meeting at the same time as Girls’ Training Class, 6:30 p.m. each Friday, Men’s Forum is designed to bring fill their particular needs. Faculty members, local preachers, and preach- Forum, giving the men of the campus practical lessons designed for daily Christian living. Some examples of the type of lessons are faith and the strengthening of one’s faith, tenden- cies in the church, what constitutes real manhood, and further education.

But then one day the girl grew up And went beyond the walls of the grounds |i i r i i Sadie Hawkins Week Four glorious coke-buying, telephone ringing, boy-chasing days allowed the girls on the Hill to take on a few of the responsibilities, and troubles of the “fellers.” Wednesday night saw the girls leading the boys to their seats at chruch and helping them with their coats. Thursday night, downtown Abilene was invaded by diners and movie-goers. At the Sadie Hawkins Party in the SAC Friday night Marryin’ Sam went wild, Kickapoo Joy Juice flowed freely, Dog patch games were the atraction of the evening and everyone came dressed in his “Dogpatch best.” Rule number one of Sadie Hawkins Week was evidently obeyed Saturday, when throngs of ACC coeds swamped the florist shops with orders for football corsages for their beaux. Saturday night in town ended the glorious week. Fall Meeting A special early morning service attracted an un-anticipated number of students and faculty members during the annual fall meeting of the College Church of Christ, held by M. Norvel Young, minister of the Broad- way Church of Christ in Lubbock, Texas, and 1936 graduate of ACC. Equally well attended were the 9:30 morning services and the 7:30 evening services. Holding the annual spring meeting was another ACC graduate, J. P. Crenshaw, class of 1938., who now preaches for the church at Ninth and Columbia in Plainview; he has preached in past years here in Abilene. Lectures on Preaching scribes the annual lectures on preaching, delivered by N. B. Hardeman December 6 through 13. Hardeman, recognized as one of the great preahers of our day is one of the founders of Freed-Hardeman College and has served as its president for a number of years. The week of lectures terminated with a Activities Conference Journalism and speech students from 175 area high schools were invited to attend the annual Student Activities Conference November 6. Speakers for the journalism division were Walter E. Burch, ACC public- ity director; Alan Scott, University of Texas; Alan Moyer, Abilene Reporter-News; Traxel Stevens, director of journalism, Interschol- astic League; and Eugene Schooley, Hardin- Simmons University. Lewis Fulks and Gay- lan Collier, ACC drama directors handled the Ground breaking ceremonies followed. Honors were shared by Student Association President Fuzzy Lunsford and quite appro- priately by a young lady from Brownfield who would have been a freshman at ACC instead of a visitor on the campus if there women’s dormitories. Frater Sodalis copped the first annual award for a club Homecoming project with their campus presenta- tion of a Cardinal being roasted by a Wildcat. Approximately 2,000 were served at the Beanery barbecue 1 the s Halftime: Sunburned noses and the sun-grins were “all in the game” as the sun beat down mercilessly. . . . Homecoming Queen Mary Ann Pruitt . . . Homecoming Queen Attendants . . . As the strains of the song “Hey There” broke the hush that had fallen over the expectant audience, a Gadsden, Alabama, junior flashed a pretty although surprised smile and stepped for- ward to receive a large bouquet of mums. This was the moment that everyone had waited for all day, the climax of Homecoming activities . . . the crowning of Mary Anne Pruitt as Homecom- ing Queen. Special Occasions Gifts to the Collegi This year a Cleburne couple, the Otto Fosters, set up an award to be given annually to some outstanding student in W. Catchings deeded to ACC the 640 acres near Hobbs, N. M., that they ment claim. In addition, the grant included 2,400 acres—the increase of the ranch since 1911. On November 23 ACC received a $100,000 ranch in the northwest part of Schleicher County, a gift of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Barber of Fort Worth. Proceeds from the three sections of land will be applied to the Bible class- room building fund. In April the college re- ceived the largest gift in its history—a 65% sec- tion ranch located near Fort Stockton. This land, valued at $1,100,000 was donated to the school by W. M. Edwards of Fort Stockton. Tops on the Hill . . . are those students who have distinguished themselves . . . and the Hill . . . with their character and talents. All-School Favorites . . .

Tremendous growth has strengthened the orchestra since it 1951—growth in personnel and in repertoire. The well-rounded selection of numbers the orchestra plays from Bach and Greig to Peter de Rose provided enjoyment for those highly aesthetic persons in the audience and for those who thought that they “just couldn’t possibly” enjoy symphonic music. Another phase of the growth of the orchestra, under the baton of James Benton, was the orchestra tour.

Wildcat Band A Cappella Tour One of the anxiously awaited events of the year for the A Cappella members is the annual A Cappella tour; this year it has been “tours”—plural. In the fall the group split, one group going to Houston, stopping at a number of towns along the way, and the other heading for Corpus Christi. At Harlingen the two busloads of singers met. The underlying purpose of all the tours this year was the money raising campaign for the Bible Building. Anything can (and usually does) happen on tour. This time—you guessed it—cheerleaders. Each bus had a football team so naturally there had to be some cheerleaders. Choralaires LARRY HORNBAKER The Choralaires were organized in 1952 and are under the direction of Dr. Leonard Burford.

The club colors are red and white, emblems of love and purity; with these symbols the club strives to develop personality, leadership, initiative, and social poise. The activi- ties of the year included a fall social, an informal supper for the women’s social clubs and the major function of the year— the annual spring banquet. Mrs. Walter H. Adams is the club sponsor. Ko-Jo-Kai The club name itself, Ko-Jo-Kai. describes the nature of the organization—“a young ladies’ club.” Organized in 1920, Ko-Jo-Kai encourages higher aims among the girls through the ties of friendship and love. A fall and spring social and a traditional spring banquet round out the major activities HELEN BROWN Zeta Rho CARLA ASHLEY Zeta Rho, organized during the fall semester of 1944, celebrates its tenth anniversary this year. Zeta Rho’s colors, navy blue and white, are symbols of loyalty and purity. The members strive to live up to the five points of the Zeta Rho star which represents love, honesty, loyalty, purity, and friend- ship. Fall activities included a formal initiation of 16 new members, the 10th Anniversary Homecoming Breakfast and an informal supper in November. The highlight of the year came at the annual spring banquet with the traditional pres- entation of the Zeta Rho Star. Mrs. Paul Southern is the club Glenn Cash Zeta Rho Star . . .

These students who have come to Abilene to study are from points as distant as Switzerland and Korea, and as near as our neighbors Mexico and Canada. The club meets twice a month to discuss mutual problems and to learn to understand each other better by informal get-togethers. Social functions of the year included a dinner downtown and Jayhawk Club Students from Kansas make up the membership of this club whose name is often mistaken for something other than a geographical organiza- tion. That is its name, however, and its purpose is to promote closer friendship among the students who call Kansas home.

GARVIN BEAUCHAMP terminated his fifth season as head football coach at Abilene Christian College as the 1954 football season ended, bringing with it one of the finest coaching records in the nation—a record for the past four seasons of 30 victories, 10 defeats, and 1 tie. The record in Texas Conference play is even more impressive with a 15 graduated from ACC in 1941, later received his Master’s De- gree from Oklahoma University, and in the spring of 1950 became ACC’s seventh head football mentor. Line Coach OLIVER JACKSON, nationally known track mentor, has a dazzling record a football. He was picked as a Football Clinic last March. Backfield Coach BILL McCLURE is a 1948 graduate of ACC. He also coaches the “B squad basketball team. GARVIN V. BEAUCHAMP Bosuctamp (head football coach), OUvec J.ck� n (lino coach), A New Conference ...

It paved the way for the college to tant part of intercollegiate athletics in the Southwest. The Wildcat football team of 1955 will not compete for the schedules could not be worked out be- tween ACC and North Texas. The other members of the Gulf Coast Conference are: Midwestern University, Trinity, and pressed a definite desire and intention to expand and develop the conference with for ACC with the 1955 basketball season.

True they lost to arch rival McMurry. Mississippi Southern, and Texas Conference champion Howard Payne. The most noteworthy win for the Wildcats came on Sept. 18. This was the night that the mighty Lions of East Texas State fell for the first time in 31 games. Triumphs over Florida State, Midwestern, Youngstown, Lamar Tech, and Arkansas State were also impressive. The 1955 squad has much to live up to—but the record of 1954 WILDCATS STOP FLORIDA STATE. 13-0 Tallahassee, Sept. 25—Abilene Christian drove 51 yards for a touchdown the first time it got the ball, then added another in the second quarter to humble Florida State University's Seminoles, 13 to 0, before 7,000 soggy spectators at Tallahassee. Paul Goad and Leondous Fry each scored touchdowns for the Wildcats in the first half and the Cats held on for the final two quarters to win their second game of the season. CATS STAY UNDEFEATED; TIE MEMPHIS STATE 6-6 Memphis, Oct. 2—Abilene Christian and Memphis State played to a 6-6 dead- lock in a battle between two powerful Tenn.

It was a beauty as Fry found faking out several defenders in order to But it was not the Wildcats’ night as Southern completely dominated the game’s statistics. The Southerners had 213 yards rushing as compared to a total of only four for the Purple eleven. INDIANS CLIP CATS. 13-6 Abilene, Oct. 17—The Mc- Murry College Indians beat an ACC team for the first time in five years as they celebrated their homecoming by registering a 13 to 6 victory. It was just not the Wildcats’ day as they lost several scoring opportunities during the game. McMurry left the field with a 7-6 halftime advantage after halting a Wildcat drive on the one-yard line as time ran out. ACC scatback Jimmy Hirth returned a kickoff 68 yards to the Indian 25 only to turn it loose as he was tackled.

ARKANSAS STATE 0 Abilene, Nov. 24—The Wildcats got even with their friends from the Ozarks by slaughtering the Arkansas State Indians 53 to 0 at Fair Park Stadium. The victory was the sixth for the Cats while the loss was the eighth of a pitiful season for the Redskins. So complete was the onslaught that the Indians gained only two first downs during the afternoon and were allowed just 73 yards rushing and another 11 passing. The Wildcats rolled up 403 yards on Fry scored three touchdowns on jaunts of 92, 52 and two yards and booted two extra points while Hirth thrilled the crowd with scoring scampers of 79 and 64 paces. YELLOWJACKETS STOP ACC 26-13 The Cinderella team from Howard Payne College out-scored the Wildcats in their annual Turkey Day game by a The Wildcats upset all of the dope buckets in losing to their old rival from Brownwood but did finish their season with a good record of six wins, three los- ses and a tie. It was the thirteenth time that a Payne eleven had been able to their most glorious victories. The Purple gave the crowd their biggest thrill of the day when they scored their first TD with only 15 sec- onds remaining in the first half. It was a beautiful pass from Fry to Hirth that started on the Jacket 10 yard line. One play after the kickoff the half ended. Fry scored the Cats’ second and last TD by ramming over from the one on a keeper in the third quarter. Basketball The Coach In the center of ACC athletics for the past 30 years has been A. B. (BUGS) MORRIS, athletic director and head basket- ball coach. Bugs’ coaching career at ACC began in 1924, follow- ing his 1923 graduation from Texas A M, where he was £ football and baseball star. He has served Abilene Chnstiar continuously during the 30-year period except for a 2% y— gap during his Navy tenure in World War II. Morris be ACC as head coach of football and basketball, continued position until 1942, when he became athletic director. He hi retained his basketball post since '24 and his cagers have ’ or shared five of the past seven Texas Conference titles. Du, 28 seasons of active coaching, Morris' teams have achieved victories with 227 defeats.

Texas Wesleyan fell before the Wildcats 6-0 as did Howard Payne by the same score. As for the rest of the season . . . things are still looking up. The Wildcats will have a tough time replacing their number one man Max Leach, Jr., who will be lost through graduation. Such stalwarts, however, as Jerry Griffitts (junior), Ronnie Walcher (sophomore), and newcomers Sydney Wyatt and James Tudor, indicate there is a great year in the offing in 1956. Jack Arnold will also be lost through graduation. Badminton As in tennis, things went slowly as badminton competition got underway. ACC suffered defeat in their first tournament when the women’s team went to Austin for the Women’s Badminton Tour- nament, for which the University of Texas annually plays host. In the doubles contest Laverne Counts and Anne Johnson advanced as far as the finals, and Estelle Prather won the singles conso- lation . . Laverne Counts advanced to the finals again in this contest, but like the others was un- able to hold her own in the final play. At Ponca City, Oklahoma, ACC was represented by the men’s team but placed only man, Tom- my Burleson, in the semi-finals. In both of the city tournaments ACC was represented, with Mary Belcher, ACC High School teammate, copping the Junior Division Championship. The Baylor Tournament and those following could not be covered because of annual deadlines. Front row: CHIC CHIPMAN, JUNE MILLER, ANNE JOHNSON. LAVERNE COUNTS. Second row: EDDIE FRENCH, HARVEY MARTIN, TOMMY BURLESON. Intramurals . . . A crowd of approximately seventy-five spectators saw the Indians take the World Champion- ship in intramural football. Paced by Max Hughes, Jim Sheerer (backfield) and Baylor Anglin (line), the savage Indians gave the Barracks 12 team a 25-6 scalping, to win the Intramural Pass-Touch League Championship. The first score of the game came as the result of a skillfully maneuvered pass- lateral combination play—when Paden caught the pass, wheeled and lateraled to Webb. Webb scam- pered to pay dirt the remaining 40 yards. Sheerer made the next two touchdowns by running around his own right end, bringing the half-time score to 18-0. Tightening up their defenses, the Barracks 12 boys kept the third quarter a scoreless one. In the fourth quarter, the Indians scored again, only to be scored against for the first time this year, when Harold Cheves and Chuck Gregg clicked on a high pass. The 1954-55 Intramural Basketball Series was a hotly contested one. Preliminary play between the approximately eight teams in each league got off to a rousing start, Barracks 12 taking the Na- tional League Championship from the Beanies, and the Sooner? outscoring the Gobs in the fight for the American League Championship. Barracks 12 went on to enter the City YMCA Open Division race and raked up an amazing record, terminating their perfect winning streak by earning the City Open Division Championship trophy. Strange as it may sound, the Barracks 12 boys, having not a single loss to mar their record in the city play, fell before the mighty Sooners 41-39 in a very close battle, making them the ACC Intramural Champions of 1954-55. Members of the powerful Sooner crew were: Lloyd Deal, Eddie French (high point man) Reid Earnhart, Don Bowen, Ralph Harvey, James Tudor, Mervin Owens, and David Hankins (manager). Battling Barracks 12 were: Dale Flaxbeard (high point man), Donald Walker, Rowland Kemp, J. W. Campbell, Harold Cheves, and Charles Gregg.
