BROWN SENIORS WE SENIORS SPEAK § Nearly four years ago as a self-confident but green little freshman I entered the portals of learning at Hardin-Simmons University to be steeped in the Cowboy lore and traditions and to bathe in the light of knowledge. I thought nothing of exposing my previously acquired learning to the scrutiny of my campus associates. The freshman flag was my standard, the slime cap my pride and joy, and the class fights my tops in entertainment. I was a green freshman. Sophomore year brought into my realm of understanding a realization of the true value of schoolday friendships. I began to cherish those associations in the classroom and on the campus. I had reached the stage of the wise second year student, well versed in campus life and yet without responsibility. As a junior I had thrust upon me a small portion of responsi- bility—and I carried it to the best of my ability. All the while it seemed even more imperative that I had more and more campus friendships. I discovered that those colleagues would last many years after I had ceased to utter French verbs and to calculate math problems.

At the beginning of the year the old members met to organize and vote in new mem- bers. There were about ten voted in this year. Requirements for membership in the organiza- tion include a semester period of service on the Brand, or one year of work on the Bronco. Application for membership must be made in writing to the club for approval. As a member of the Southwestern Journalism Congress, Hardin - Simmons Press Club sent eleven members and Professor Schooley to the convention which met at Baylor University in Waco, March 25 and 26. The annual Press Club banquet was held the first part of April. Herschel Schooley, Instructor in Journalism, is sponsor of this group. Coach Frank Kimbrough Three years of unparalelled success— such is the record made by Coach Frank Kimbrough since he took over the job as foreman on the Hardin-Simmons athletic range in the fall of nineteen thirty-five. The year nineteen hun- dred thirty-seven was cer- tainly the most glorious of the three years and termi- nated much as predictions, based on the preceding sea- sons, prescribed. The Cow- boys' enviable record for the nineteen thirty - seven season of eight straight wins and only one tie can right- fully be accredited to the faithfulness, hard work, and superb ability of their loved and respected mento r— The Dutchman.

E. BURNAM J. T. HANEY G. B. SANDEFER Success of Hardin-Simmons athletics is under the direction of the Athletic Council. Our most successful and spectacular athletic season dur- ing the past session has been due in a large part to the efforts of the council. The Athletic Council members, paving the way to greater seasonal activities, honor and recognition for Cowboy teams, are sponsors of all intercollegi- ate and intramural contests of the university. The Council consists of ten members; J. E. Burnam, J. T. Haney, G. B. Sandefer, W. D. Ar- nette, R. N. Richardson, R. A. Collins, J. D. San- defer, 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 follows: J. O. Green, H. A. Pender, Jesse Winters, Leroy Jennings, Lacy Beckham, Gordon Weir, and Vic Payne. Yell Leaders TOMMIE BLACK Senior Yell Leader CHARLES POND Junior Yell Leader MELTON TEAGUE Sophomore Yell Leader The yell leaders are selected each year by popular election. Petitions place the names in the contest and the records are checked to de- termine the eligibility for the office. Three lead- ers are chosen; one from each of the three upper classes. The duties of the yell leaders are to promote spirit and pep at contests in which Hardin-Sim- mons takes part. They are to call together the students in pep rallies and contests, as well as to lead the rallies after they are assembled. Their work largely determines the spirit of the school. Tommie Black, Senior yell leader, held the major responsibility this year in calling the students together and conducting the meetings His assistants were Charles Pond and Melton Teague, Junior and Sophomore representatives, respectively. Each year the yell leaders select the uniforms they wear. This year a gold shirt and pants was worn with a purple sleeveless The tumbling yell leaders put on a flashy show at either ball games or on A yell book is published each year by the to help pay for the uniforms. Football Men burns McKinney odis crowell Co-Captain Co-Captain Burns McKinney and Odis Crowell, sen- iors from Wichita Falls and Matador re- spectively, were chosen last spring to di- rect and lead the football team as co-cap- tains. McKinney as a backfield man and Crowell as a linesman, led the Cowboys through the undefeated season. McKinney came to Hardin-Simmons from Wichita Falls, where he played for the Coyotes in a very successful way. He has gained three varsity letters from H-SU. After spending a year at Amarillo Junior College, Crowell lined up with the H-S men. Crowell has also lettered three years at Hardin-Simmons University.

The way to have a good varsity basket- ball squad is to start the boys while they are freshmen. Under the direction of Coach Tindall Jones these boys prepare for their future as Cowboy basketeers. Jones had a good turnout when he called freshman basketball practice shortly after the Christmas holidays. These boys worked hard on the fundamentals of the game and studied the various plays that the varsity squad used. This squad had several matched games with teams in this section of the country. They lost one game to the Lueders Independent team, two games to the Breckenridge Independents, and lost one and won one from the Ranger Junior College five. With the good results and the training that received this year the future for cagers has a very bright outlook. Tennis C. H. Boyd, Jr. James King Bill McKinney Sam McCollum The Cowboy netmen, although few in number, have been one of the best teams representing Hardin - Simmons for several years. Playing strong com- petition, the tennis players showed their skill and ability as masters of the Early Fall matches were with Texas Tech, who were downed by the Cow- boys on 13 successive matches. Spring matches were with Baylor Bears, who downed the home boys by 4 to 2.

Archery Archery is an added sport on the Hardin - Simmons campus this year, and it is appreciated and enjoyed by many of the students. Archery is a sport that demands a great deal of training and practice to become a skilful archer. Strength and a true eye is necessary in order that one become an accurate marksman. In the first picture we see a group at practice. Sybil Schrimsher shows how it should be done but seldom is. Just another group practicing their archery. Minor Sports The physical education department sponsors several activities during the school year. Among the activities are badminton, basketball, baseball, tumbling, arch- ery, ping pong, and all intramural sports. It is their endeavor to give those students who enjoy sports as much variety as possible in activities. Regular classes are held daily for Freshman and Sophomore students and all others are invited to enter into the activities if they desire. Here are shown several views of a group of boys trying their luck at high jumping. It is good exercise and gives the students the desired relaxation from their studies.

Officers and organization were made at the first meeting early in October. This club meets bi-monthly at which time there are programs on historical subjects. These programs are planned and carried out by a committee of students. The members take trips to the various his- torical points here around Abilene.
