? COPYRIGHT Ha£p«N S1WVNKJNS uwivcftsnv A� lUN€,T€ AS DEDICATION To Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Behrens, out- standing Hardin - Simmons friends and benefactors, we respectfully dedicate this, The 1937 Bronco. Both have been citizens of the Great West for many years, and “Dad” Behrens has served faithfully as a member of the Board of Trustees for some fifteen or twenty years. They have made it pos- sible for many young men and women to receive an education here. Generous con- tributions of their time and means for the promotion and welfare of Hardin-Sim- mons have been greatly appreciated. Hoping that the vital interest of these friends may continue and grow, and knowing them worthy of more than we have to offer, to them we humbly inscribe The 1937 Bronco. FOREWORD Woozy Jr.—shown below to left—makes his debut to 1937 Bronco readers. Though a prairie dog, he will do his best to portray a composite picture of various HSU activities. He’s just as integral a part of the romantic old We; or me romanuc oia west as me cowuuy, bronco and steer. Theme is lacking in the 1937 Bronco in a trend tc ward modernism, and we hope that variety, as ceptable. ward repr we have attempted to offer, is ac- esentation and preservation of the memories of the present.

Young women, espe- cially, have a rich heritage—the result of long years of struggle for ideals we now accept as commonplace. Such should challenge young college women, about to assume the responsibilities of active citizenship in a democracy, to an alertness of their possibilities which should make them an intelligent and significant element in the great social order of which they are a part. It is right that leadership should be expected of them, and it is right that they in college should prepare for that leadership. zdl! ariy S. cJ-fzad ADMINISTRATION TT IS a pleasure to tell you that you have had a part in making the year 1936-37 a truly great year in the history of Hardin-Simmons University, and to wish each of you the very best that life has to offer.

A permanent mail- ing list is being completed so that our 16,000 exes may receive news of their alma mater from time to time. Plans are being perfected for the publishing of an alumni newspaper which will be sent to all exes whose correct address is in our files. The year 1936 witnessed the greatest home-coming in the his- tory of the University. Every effort will be made to make each future event greater than the one preceding it. An executive secretary and field repre- sentative, Harry H. Hayes, has been added to the staff whose chief work is to contact exes and get new students. Alumni pledges are steadily increasing, thereby bringing direct and needed assistance to both the University and the Association. Our plea is that each of you speak, talk, and think, Hardin-Simmons. With an active group supporting her, she will reach heights never before achieved. Find a boy or a girl, sell the University and its ideals to them and see that they enroll in the fall. Let’s work together for our Alma Mater. Sincerely, d. zA [. J.o(inion. BENEFACTORS OF HARDIN-SIMMONS UNIVERSITY Uncle Hart and Aunt Mollie” have made a generous con- tribution toward the endowment of our Bible department. They were long loyal and devoted friends to this institution, and their loyalty and generous support have ever been duly appreciated. They will live down the centuries as their missionaries proclaim the Gospel message both at home and on foreign fields.

ATHLETICS Coach Frank Kimbrough KIMBROUGH University Head Coach Synonymous with the rise to fame of Hardin-Simmons in the athletic field was the coming of Coach Frank Kimbrough, who has brought a new spirit to the athletic department. A changed athletic program with marked improvement in all phases has been the results of Kimbrough’s work, drive, and efforts. He brought with him a vigor, alertness and pep which was absent from Cowboy teams before, and has instilled them with victory, courage, and fight. More than successful during the 1936-37 season, Hardin-Simmons teams have never lost their fight and spirit in their few defeats. In football, playing a varied program covering several intersectional encounters, the Cowboys lost only two games and those to strong Southwest conference elevens. Basketball, long a forte of the Cowhands, saw its lone defeat for the locals with the last game of the season in the state A.A.U. meet. Included in the list of victories were two game series over S. M. U., Baylor, T. C. U., W. T. S. T. C., and other strong teams. Alton Terry continued his triumphal march in javelin tossing. Most of these accomplishments find their success in the guiding hand of Frank Kimbrough. He has been of value hard to estimate to Hardin-Simmons and has made his- tory in a difficult position. To the Cowboy mentor, Coach Frank Kimbrough, worthy of all laude and praise that can be given him, we give honor. STAFF OF COACHES Frank Kimbrough has ably directed the Hardin-Simmons athletic program football, basketball, and track. He has given the Cowboys the winning spirit his teams carried honors in all fields of encounter, and he deserves much credit for the place that Hardin-Simmons now holds in the athletic world. T. W. Harrison, assistant football coach, has helped Kimbrough with coach- ing details. His help has been of value and aid on the coaching staff and has been felt in the Cowboys’ progress this year. Theo Rigsby, freshman mentor, has borne the brunt of training raw recruits for Hardin-Simmons. Though victory hasn’t been the lot of the freshmen grid- ders his work has given them valuable training and fundamentals. M. M. Ballard has carried the Cowboy tennis teams into a very successful season. Both boys and girls have been moulded into a victorious racket squad and much of the credit is due to the untiring work of Coach Ballard, who unsparingly devotes his efforts to the tennis teams. Otho Polk, director of men’s physical education, has been a big factor in the success of intramural sports this season, the work of the tumbling team and other interest in minor sports. , Elizabeth Huggins, women’s physical education director, has been the lead- er of the women’s athletic association and has assisted the Cowgirls in drills this year. Though new to the Hardin-Simmons staff she has filled her place efficiently. ATHLETIC COUNCIL Direction of policies for Hardin-Simmons athletics falls to the Athletic Coun- cil. The most successful and spectacular athletic season in the history of the athletic department has been due in large part to the work and efforts of these men. The Athletic Council members, leading the way to greater heights and recognition for the Cowboy teams, are sponsors of all intercollegiate and intra- mural contests of the university. The Council consists of ten members: J. E. Burnam, J. T. Haney, D. W. Arnette, R. N. Richardson, R. A. Collins, J. D. Sandefer Jr., Solon R. Featherston, R. S. Walker, and Jack Chatham. From the Board of Trustees a committee of four has been appointed to sit with the Council in its meetings, composed of T. T. Harris, C. M. Caldwell, George S. Anderson, and W. J. Behrens. The H-S Association also has appointed a committee to assist the Council in its functions and meetings. This committee is composed of seven members as fol- lows: J. 0. Green, H. A. Pender, Jesse Winters, Leroy Jennings, Lacy Beck- ham, Gordon Weir, and Vic Payne.

Witnesses are still talking about the story book finish of this “dream game.” Johnnie Morrow, Aggie end and captain, on the last scrimmage play booted the pigskin squarely between the uprights of this spectacular season. Turning the local gridiron into something of a race track, Hardin-Simmons’ Cowboys smoth- ered the Bisons of Oklahoma Baptist University 52 to 0, for their second home appearance of the 1936 card. All of Coach Kimbrough’s charges saw action against the Oklahomans and took advantage counters in the first quarter and returned late in the final period to cross the goal thrice more before RADOSLOVICH HATCHELL 1936 FOOTBALL 1936 FOOTBALL going first string Cowhands to tame Texas A.

Due con- sideration must be given the fact that while the Tenderfeet were trying to perfect their own plays they had to learn new plays of the varsity opposition each week to throw against the varsity. gSSSniSS SEEHSH s -5 As the closing game to their “hard luck” series the Freshmen met their strongest opposition in the Altus Junior College club. Although a hard fought game the local aggregation came out on the short end of a 20 to 6 score in the Oklahoma stronghold. YELL LEADERS By popular student election each spring the cheer leaders are selected to lead the yells for the athletic activities during the following year. Petitions place their name in the contest and records are checked to determine eligibil- ity for the office. Three leaders are chosen; one from each of the three upper sses. The yell leaders are responsible for the spirit and pep of the student body at the various games and contests in which Hardin-Simmons takes part. The duties of the boys are to gather and interest the students in pep rallies and contests as well and conduct the yells after they are assembled. They are guardians of the school spirit and their work largely determines the feeling among the students as a whole. James K. Polk, as head yell leader, held the responsibility of calling pep rallies and welding student spirit. He was as- sisted by “Squack” Thomas, junior representative, and Charles Ponds, tum- bling artist from the sophomore class. Uniforms for the yell leaders underwent a change this year, in part to signify the return from the wilderness of the Cowboys and their climb to new heights. Gold shirts with purple trim were used and purple trousers helped to complete the picture. They presented a flashy trio either at games, rallies or on parade. They published a yell book to assist students in learn- ing and remembering yells. Unifying student spirit is no small task. It is not easy, as any of the leaders will tell you, and recognition for valuable and helpful service should be given to the deserving. It is important to keep the student body in the right spirit and behind the Cowboys in any endeavor, win or lose. Basketball is tough and fast, But H.-S. V. can always last; To top the bill Despite a spill; For Cowboys, our vote is cast. —Woozy Jr. Basketball 1937 BASKETBALL 1937 BASKETBALL 1937 BASKETBALL two game series by 26 to 24 and 33 to 28 margins. the Cowboys met their one and only defeat of the 1937 season at the hands of the Slaton All-Stars. 1937 BASKETBALL SEASON SUMMARY H-S.

This purpose has been well accomplished this year under the careful guiding of Coach Jones, as the first year basketeers worked diligently and patiently to iron out their faults and mistakes. Some promising material has been developed among the junior ranchers who reported for practice shortly after the Christmas holiday season. Hopes for additions to the Cowboy varsity machine are found in some of the likely products, for the senior varsity squad graduates enmasse in June. D. A. Parker, forward, and Grady Osborn, first year center, are standouts among the Fresh- man hardwood ranks. Of promising calibre, too, is Marshall, rangy forward, who has been hitting the loop with a degree of consistency. Opening the season against Tuscola, Taylor County high school champions, the Freshmen came out with a decisive victory of 37 to 16. However, in the next game with the Hamlin Independents or All-Stars the first year cagers did not fare so well and came out with the short end of a 22-16 score. As a wind-up of the season in a return game with the Hamlin team, however, the Freshmen avenged their only defeat of the season with a 27 to 9 margin over their opponents. Cisco fell before the Frosh scoring machine in the third game of the year for the junior Cowboys by a 28 to 14 score. A season average of seventy-five per cent is the record set by the Freshman Basketball team for their 1937 playing.

Requirements for membership in the organization include a twelve-weeks period of service on the Brand or one year of work on the Bronco. Applications for membership must be made in writ- ing to the club for approval. The Press Club fosters creative writings of all types. As a member of the Southwestern Journalism Congress, Hardin-Simmons Press club sent a group of delegates to the convention in Denton. The meeting this year was held April 16 and 17 with Texas State College for Women as hostess for the association of southern colleges and universities. Some ten students represented the local club with P rof. Edward Dugan, sponsor. Annual banquet of the Press Club was held April 3, at the Hilton Hotel, serving as the spring social for the writers. Raymond W. Foy, Dallas News local advertising manager, was main speaker and honors were shared by Mrs. Dan Moody, first editor of the Brand, who made a brief talk.
