RUSSELL DAY Editor Ray Davidson Wacil McNair William Amo Robert Murdoch Zona Horn Pete Tippen Always keeping the interests of the students first in mind, the staff of the H-S. U. Brand, your campus newspaper, writes finis to the twenty-third year of service with the sincere hope that new stan- dards and goals have been left behind for future staffs. Ever try- ing to keep in mind the high ideals of Hardin-Simmons University the staff carried the burden of supply- ing news, fighting hypocrisy and oppression, and building the uni- versity and its activities. Recognizing the duty of bring- ing news of this and other institu- tions to the student body first, with- out bias or partiality, an able corps of journalism students never failed their solemn trust. Chief among the undertakings of the staff this year was the pav- ing of the campus drive, Varsity Show, annual Beauty and Beast contest, selection of most represen- tative students, and special edi- tions of the paper. Representatives of the Journal- ism department attended the an- nual convention of the Southwest- ern Journalism Congress held March 17th and 18th at Oklahoma A. M. in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

The organization is farther based on the idea of expressing itself through the devotional and missionary char- acter of its programs and through the emphasis on Christ-like kindliness and courtesy. It fosters world-widp service in religious work. The first Baptist organization to give special attention to the needs of the college woman student is the distinc- tion held by the Young Women's Asso- ciation. It is a firmly established force for righteousness and religious work on nearly every denominational cam- pus and on many state and indepen- dent campuses. The motto is Daniel 12:3: They that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and that turn, many to Righteousness as the stars forever.

OFFICERS OFFICERS Elmer Holt President Mildred Smith Vice-President Frances Osborne ...........Secretary During the last few years, the Greek language has become a very interest- ing language to the students in the Bible department of Hardin-Simmons University. These students were try- ing to cultivate more interest in the Greek language in its original form. In order to do this they organized the New Testament Greek Club in the fall of 1937. This club meets every two weeks in a regular meeting. They have various programs of manuscript reading and reports on articles dealing with the Greek language in the original form. The programs are very interesting and are under the supervision of the club sponsor, Dr. N. A. Moore Professor of Greek and Religious Education. Membership of this club is unlimited. Members are those taking Greek and students on the campus that are inter- ested in the New Testament Greek and the original manuscripts. Members of this club find that after studying Greek in the New Testament that a better understanding is obtained of the Bible. Some people think that Greek is one of the dead languages, but according to members of this club, Greek language is the most interesting of all foreign languages. m NEW TESTAMENT GREEK LOLA GIBSON DEATON Director CHORAL CLUB OFFICERS Aaron Grant .......................President Jeanne Roberts.....................Secretary Hardin-Siramons University Choral Club is com- posed of the students in the university who are in- terested in the work in the Choral Club.

The repertoire of this choir is varied, both classic and modern compositions being used. Only music of a high musical standard is used. STRING ENSEMBLE The String Ensemble was organized for the purpose to encourage chamber music on the campus of Hardin-Simmons, to give the students experience in playing in ensemble, and to fill the need in student life by supplying high class music for various entertainments. Programs during this season were furnished both in Abi- lene and in surrounding places. The depart- ment has grown nearly double during the last few years.

FISH BASKETBALL Making its introduction on the campus in the fall of 1937, Arch- ery has grown to be one of the favorite courses in Women's Physical Education. This course was originated on the Hardin - Simmons campus when Miss Helen Robbins came to take over her duty in the de- partment. There has been about twenty members of this class for the last four semesters and looks like one of the promising courses for women. Archery is a sport that is fair- ly new. It started on the cam- puses in the south and contests and other battles were held as in the major sports. The schools would emphasis this sports as they do any other. If the school won in an archery contest, the school honored them royally. Pictured in the snaps are sev- eral of the girls as they enjoyed the target practice on their prac- tice field. These girls enjoy this as a pastime as well as class work. Some are real sharp shoot- ers while others are just be- ginners. ARCHERY Another of the new sports on the campus of Hardin-Simmons is that of Badminton. This is an outdoor or indoor game similar to tennis, but played with shut- tlecocks, a kind of claret-cup. It is very fascinating and exer- cises nearly every portion of the This course is offered as a regular course in the physical education department by Otho Polk, the physical director for There are about nine in this class and contests and other tournaments are held among the members. John L. Wilson lead the class until he had to leave school. The shots of this class were taken while having a game in the open, although they usually play in Marston Gymnasium. This is a sport for girls as well as boys and is a very good game for the winter months as it can be played as well indoors as out. While very similar to tennis those good at tennis are not always good at Badminton. BADMINTON As a varsity sport, Tennis on the Hardin-Simmons University campus has died down, not be- cause of a leader and coach, because we have one, but be- cause of the interest among students and sport fans of the University. M. M. Ballard is the coach for tennis on the campus and is a very capable person. He has produced many winning teams for Hardin-Simmons and has not given up hopes for a future Tennis team that will make history for the school as well as the other athletic events on our campus. This year, Tennis has been one of the major pastimes for the students, Miss Helen Rob- bins, instructor of Physical Edu- cation for women, has offered several courses in tennis which created an interest and liking for the sport among the girls of the campus. This has caused them to want to play as their recreation and exercise during the spring months. These snaps were taken on the courts in the middle of the campus at different times. They are all very informal shots and will picture fairly well what goes on on these courts every TENNIS
