'fef ( r '� , t '° ? W£ k' ' £ V ' . r ; S THE 1935 BRONCO OLD GREY MARE EDITION pROM TIME IMMEMORIAL, the emotions of man have been stirred by the strains of blended sounds. The plaintive note of the flute, the passionate beat of the drum, have aroused the desires of primitive men to master their problems. In a modern world, sounds synchronized in harmonious chords continue to stir the emotions of men with strange and powerful forces. The crash of the cymbal, the wail of the bassoon, blend themselves together in developing emotional atti- tudes which drive men to the attainment of their goals. Though inexplicable, these forces operate in a very real manner in urging mankind on toward success. A similar force seems to be exemplified in the spirited theme of the Cowboy school. “Old Grey Mare” as illustrated in the Bronco of 1935, typifies the collegi- ate spirit prevalent on the campus of Hardin-Simmons University. The 1935 Bronco Published by the Student Body of Hardin-Simmons University, Abilene, Texas Ivan Flynn EDITOR W. B. Phipps Jr. BUSINESS MANAGER DEDICATION LI RDIN-SIMMONS I MVERSITY is a pioneer school. It was created by pioneers, and pioneers have A A been responsible for its phenomenal growth. The past few years have been crucial in the progress of all institutions. During this period. Mr. and Mrs. John C. Hardin, of Burkburnett. Texas, have assured the future of our University. We love and honor Mr. and Mrs. Hardin because they are pioneers, because they have contributed so generously to our University, and because they are above everything else noble Christian citizens. It is the desire of the Bronco staff of 1935, act’ng as representatives of the student body of Hardin- lnuch to all of us. The staff desires, therefore, gratefully and affectionately to dedicate this book tc Mr. and Mrs. John G. Hardin, pioneer builders. Christian characters, friends of Christian Education and of the youth of Texas and the greater Southwest. Mr. and Mrs. John G. Hardin AN APPRECIATION By President J. D. Sandefer F PAUSE A MOMENT to pay my meed of tribute, in so far as my command of language and my ability to express myself permits, to Mr. and Mrs. John G. Hardin of Burkburnett whose contributions to causes founded upon the principles of Christ and fostered by those who are grounded in these great verities have been written into the minds and consciences of tens of thousands who love the highest and best in the field of religious human endeavor. Mr. and Mrs. Hardin, with their pioneer vision, planted themselves in this great West more than a half century ago and gave their early lives and energies toward helping in fostering and building every legitimate agency that found ex- pression in constructive pioneer life. In building in a vitally worthwhile way toward the choicest in the field of intellectual and spiritual endeavor they suc- ceeded in a very unusual way in what the world would call financial success. The great West is potentially fraught with undreamed of natural resources. These good friends and benefactors had chosen well and fortunately their ranch properties from under which within the last few years that golden liquid called oil was found to flow and some additional millions of wealth came to these already frugal servants. They saw in this a challenging opportunity for accentuated ser- vice in investing their money in the lives of boys and girls, young men and young women who need to be served; in being served their own personalities would become so enriched as that they would go forth into the world to serve in that way where- unto Christ has challenged everyone clothed with the responsibility and opportu- nity for larger service. I have the feeling that they have caught the vision of another friend of this institution, residing in another state, who has become one of its largest benefac- tors. He gave three reasons as follows: In the first place, he endorsed the policy of the management of the institution in its efforts to keep it anchored to the Chris- tian fundamentals. In the second place, this friend gave it as his judgment that there is no institution, in so far as he knows, located so strategically as this one to serve this great Southwest as its natural resources unfold during the next fifty years. In the third place, he says there is no section of our country, in his judg- ment, offering so large a percentage of the Anglo-Saxon stock as West Texas. He said further that he wanted the privilege of making an investment in a univer- sity training Anglo-Saxon youth that will equal in scholarship that offered in any other university and at the same time that scholarship be religiously cultural. Mr. and Mrs. Hardin have on many occasions given substantially these rea- sons for the giving of their monies to causes Christian. Hardin-Simmons Univer- sity therefore meets the challenge of these friends and pledges itself anew toward the maintenance of these religious and academic standards so enthusiastically en- dorsed by them. The trustees, the faculty, our great student body, and nearly twenty thous- and ex-students join me in love and gratitude unbounded to these pioneers of the great Southwest whose lives have paralleled somewhat, in time, this institution for their generous contribution to what has now become Hardin-Simmons Univer- sity. I express the hope and offer the prayer that the ideals herein set out may ever continue to be the center of the institution’s life as it expresses itself through the present and future generations.

Each humble sentinel of nature, including man Must live its life complete to pass to realms of death. Happily, man is given consolation In the deaths of the children of Nature, For there is an assurance of their transformation Into a life more glorious than before. Commencement is a death to a portion of our life. Though sad, it is surely like a parting in nature, For as it ends a pleasant period of strife It gives promise of a glorious life to come. In parting we leave behind us friends whose trust We would not lose, and memories too sacred to forget; But our hearts are filled with joy to think that we must Fill our various places and taste of real life after saying Goodbye. —William Earl Ragsdale. iivyimt an Hardin-Simmons Anthem 0 Hardin-Simmons Hail to thee, for famous are thy halls; Long may thy worth increase, long live thy noble cause. Great are thy victories o’er land and over sea; Fair daughter of the West, toe love and honor thee. Hail Hardin-Simmons! loud we sing; 0 let thy music ring; Our hearts are filled with joy of thee we gladly sing. More charming is thy name than all our childhood scenes; Thy welkins, sweet and fair, inspire our joyful themes. With voice, with heart and hand, we bring our gifts today; Thy sons and daughters live to serve thee true always. So kind and true thou art—let duty be thy call; Give us thy noble heart; we love thee one and all. For freedom is thy might and victory thy song; We’ll raise thy banners high with purpose true and strong. Thy friends are manifold and greater thou shalt be, The “Purple and the Gold” lead, on to victory. —Jesse Hodges. rJ'HE TEMPO of American life has been distinctly accelerated during the past quarter of a century.

LESLIE CRANFILL W7ITH the completion of the track schedule in the spring Coach Leslie Cranfill bids adieu to Hardin-Simmons university and Hardin-Simmons bids adieu to one of its most colorful, most beloved, and most successful of athletic directors. With the loss of Mr. Cranfill, the university will miss a magnetic personality and a born leader of men. Through his sportsmanship and his ability to instill into his athletes this same feeling for friendly opposition, for the love of the game, and for everything that amateur athletic competition can represent, Coach found his place in the hearts of the Hardin-Simmons faculty and student body. A record unsurpassed has been made by Mr. Cranfill. Six out of the last seven years have seen the Cranfill coached Cowboy quintets bring to Hardin-Simmons Corral Texas Conference basketball banners. ft is with much regret and sympathy that an appreciative body of students wish Mr. Cranfill, who has led the Cowboy sportsmen since 1930, farewell. ATHLETIC COUNCIL T’HE responsibility of the direction of all athletic contests and policies of Hardin- Simmons, is entrusted to a body of men that represent the administration, faculty, on athletic awards, the acceptance of schedules, and the setting up of eligibility and letter requirements. They also approve the budget and financial ventures of each Under the able guidance of this group, the athletic teams have been steadily foundation of efficiency in accomplishing the fundamental aims of athletics. This athletic council makes all schedules and final arrangements for all athletic contests. The hiring of coaches and the payment of all athletic expenses, come administration are represented by Rupert N. Richardson, D. M. Wiggins, J. E. Bur- nam, G. B. Sandefer, and J. T. Haney.

Since then, the wide extension work that has been carried on all over the state has been credited to this organization. The B. S.

The following year a constitution was adopted in which the name, “Cowgirls” was incorporated and a definite styled uniform of purple skirts, gold blouses, boots and cowboy hats was patterned. Up until her resignation last year Miss Glenna Fay Grant was drum-major of the Cow- girls. This year the Cowgirls elected Miss Elba Reeves, an ex-Cowgirl and present instructor of girls’ gymnastic work in the university, drum major.

Hammering every part of the blade from steel of his own manufacture . . . his swords exist today as masterpieces of his art. When a man makes a product of the finest quality, it is with pardonable pride that he places his name upon it. The maker's imprint, accompanied by tradi- tions of skill and high standards of honest dealings, becomes the customer's guarantee of highest quality and satisfaction. Emulating the old masters of sword making, Southwestern craftsmen put their finest work into every engraving bearing the SWECO imprint. It is your guarantee of painstaking care ... of a superior printing plate. We are proud to proclaim that the engravings in this volume were made by Southwestern craftsmen.
