The 1945 BRONCO HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE ★ w pjq The thirty-eighth edition —i of the yearbook published W by the student body of Hardin-Simmons University —. at Abilene, Texas W DOROTHY MURPHREE, . . . Editor-in-Chief X Rh ★ BRONCO PRESENTS- A PICTORIAL REVIEW AND OUR OF COLLEGE LIFE DREAMS FOR- TOMORROW husbands, sweethearts, relatives, and friends will be back on the Forty Acres for football and a Cowboy Band, when we can build the buildings we have planned and offer have a neon sign and statues to the makers of our great past; then, and only then, we can check the things marked must do” off our memo pad and plan still greater things for the Greater Hardin-Simmons University. FOREWORD Without Today there could be no Tomorrow. The greatness of Tomorrow depends upon how far along the trail we travel Today. Even in the midst of war, this year we have progressed to a sign that says Success. As a record of our journey and to keep the memories of it aglow, we give you the 1945 BRONCO. CONTENTS BUILDINGS FACULTY CLASSES FAVORITES SPORTS ACTIVITIES ★ ★ ★ DEDICATION ★ ★ In August, 1945, a newcomer came to the Forty Acres to serve as our secretary-treasurer. In these almost two years we have come to love and respect and admire this powerful personality, not only for his wholesome character, likeable disposition and high ideals, but for the influence he has upon young lives on the campus of this Christian Univer- sity. He is a man whose energetic ability and force of char- acter exemplify the personal attributes needed by the youth of today—the citizens of tomorrow. It is difficult to express the important things he does and stands for because they represent the intangible qualities which enrich the character and improve the mind. Through his ceaseless efforts we have progressed. His dreams for a magnificent future supplement- ed by his dauntless will promise great things. In sincere appreciation and respect for what he has done, is doing and will do for the Greater Hardin-Simmons of tomorrow, we dedicate this the Nineteen Hundred Forty-five BRONCO to E. W.

Never have students rea- lized so fully that they must match themselves with a changing future. Many of you have timed your thinking and geared your training for tomorrow and on you who are doing that, hangs the hope of civili- zation. May you keep saying with Bayard Taylor, The glories of the possible are ours. W. T. WALTON Assistant to the President To the Students of Hardin-Simmons University: Congratulations on the completion of the school year 1944-1945. We express the hope that it will be the last war-year for the students. The years ahead will bring to your University greater responsibilities than it has known hitherto. Our new President is conscious of the expanding obligations which Hardin- Simmons owes to the students of tomorrow. May we resolve to give .our best to fulfill these obligations, and thus transmute' them into privileges. L. Q. CAMPBELL Dean of Students This has been one of the most eventful years in his- tory. It has been a wonderful school year. It has been a pleasure to have each one of you here at Hardin-Simmons this year. To the seniors who will be leaving us, we are happy that you have been with us these four years. You will take Hardin-Simmons University with you wherever you go. Do not wait too long to come back to the Forty Acres. Come every time you can. You have our every good wish for success in your chosen professions. Sincerely, W. A. STEPHENSON Assistant Dean Let me express my appreciation to an unusual group of music students who during the past year have given of their best to the University School of Music. With- out their loyalty and devotion we should be unable to carry on. Let us continue to have such cooperative goodwill and the succeeding years may have great things in store for us all! E. E. YOUNG Dean of Music Probably more people today feel their responsibility toward public problems than ever before. Our very best girls are thinking more about work and less about social life. I have a great respect, touched with a little awe, for the younger generation. No more wonderful vision comes to us than that which deals with the wonderful movements which we hold dear. Let us then put our heads, hearts, and hands to the task in the spirit, strength, and name of our risen Lord, and march with conquering tread to glorious victory. MARY E. HEAD Dean of Women To the Students of Hardin-Simmons University: You have gone through this year with a commend- able spirit of enthusiastic patriotism. May we all re- solve to face the future with courage and strong de- termination to make our country a peace loving one in a peaceful world in which to live. We are all highly pleased with our newly elected President, Dr. Rupert N. Richardson. With the Chris- tian foundation of Hardin-Simmons University and the competent leadership of Dr. Richardson, I know our school will maintain its place in the field of education. I have enjoyed the association with each of you this year. I wish for you every success in life. E. W. LEDBETTER Secretary-Treasurer H. R. ARRANT E. B. ATWOOD Th.D. W. D.

The three principles of the Student Council are to train students in the democratic way of life, to keep school spirit high and to give students an opportunity to voice their opinion. Members of the Student Council are selected by popular vote in the spring of each year for the following year. The council has charge of other elections such as Who's Who, Class Favorites and University Queen. Along with directing the political life of the campus, the Council has directed the social life, filling the calendar with numerous social affairs. The annual welcome reception was the first major event. There followed a Halloween Party, University Banquet, Sadie Hawkins party, Valentine party and other such events, with a political rally in the late spring. One change in the University rules brought about by the Student Council was 11:30 permission for dormitory girls on Saturday nights instead of 11 o'clock.

CADET NURSES This year in connection with Hendrick Memorial Hospital, Hardin-Sim- mons University has had student nurses in training. Thirty-eight of these girls resided in Wing B, of Ferguson Hall. They did not eat at the University dining hall, but they, along with others from the hospital, took courses such as physiology, anatomy, chemistry, English, Bible and psychology at the University, attended chapel once a week, and had access to the bookstore, tennis courts, riding academy and other facilities. favorites .Herbie daye Johnston s u M M E R Q U E E N Jessie Dean Mullins B R 0 N C 0 s w E E T H E A R T tflll JCola Srrna Wilson J u N I 0 R F A V 0 R I T E Mry JCynn Mahon s 0 p H 0 M 0 R E F A V 0 R I T Kiltie Sue White Mary faun Wood Claude Mien Each year the BRAND staff sponsors the election, by popu- lar vote, of a Beatuy and Beast.

Dear God, those gold star boys will never come back, but I am sure they are in peace with you. May all the others be home soon to live in peace, security and happiness by serving Thee. Amen.

Activities A CAPPELLA CHOIR In keeping with the wave of appreciation and development of A Cappella singing, the Hardin-Simmons voice department offers a training in this field. Each year, twenty-four to forty voices are selected among students who can pass try-outs vocally and musically to represent the University in public concerts throughout the year. The repertoire of this choir is varied, both classic and modern compositions being used. Only music of a high musical standard is used, including works of famous com- posers of the last few centuries. Highlight of this year was participating in the annual Can- dlelight Christmas Concert given in connection with the Girls' Choir. Miss Ethel Rader, head of the voice department, is director of the choir. Baxter Cole Collier Cravens Everton Floyd Glass Price Rathmell Waddill Walkow Winn Word ALPHA CHI MARY E.

The membership of the society is composed of the upper ten per cent of the Junior and Senior class, ranking in scholarship, leadership, and character. The members are selected each year by a faculty committee assisted by the old members. This year eleven new members were initiated into the club in an impres- sive candle-light ceremony held at the home of Dr. O. O. Watts, faculty sponsor. Programs of the society are varied and interesting. An effort is made to use the talents of the members extensively in the programs, and these programs consist of creative work of the student members in music, drama, and writing. To encourage scholarship among the under-classmen, a Webster's Col- legiate Dictionary is given to the Freshman making the highest average each year. The chapter also sponsors a tea during the year to acquaint people with the purposes and aims of Alpha Chi. Tri-college meetings were held with McMurry and A. C.

NORA EVERTON ........................Sponsor Alpha Psi Omega, the largest national honorary dramatic fraternity in the United States, is an advanced organization of University Players. The Hardin-Simmons chapter is the Zeta Theta Cast, which was organized in the fall of 1936. The purpose of this organization is the development of dramatic talent and the art of acting. It seeks to cultivate a taste for the best drama, and serves to unite dramatic forces of colleges and universities. Membership is based on merit, determined by points earned in the five fields of directing, acting, stage-craft, playwriting, and costuming, and upon one year's membership in Players. Members are taken in twice a year and pledges named go through a week of initiation. Working with Players, Alpha Psi Omega endeavors to further it in all its activities. Each year at Commencement, an award to the best actor and actress of the major productions is presented by the Alpha Psi Omega. Mrs. Nora Everton is faculty representative.

This year Beta Mu Kappa adopted a new constitution. New members underwent two weeks of pledgeship, following formal letters of application. The club has sponsored the record room, which reopened this year and is available to all students. The club promoted the $100 collection of records purchased this year. Beta Mu Kappa has purchased new draperies and made complete plans for redecorating the reception room in Caldwell Fine Arts Building. The work will be done as soon as possible.

Editor-in-Chiel HERBIE JOHNSTON......... Senior Editor MINNIE ALICE MAYFIELD . Junior Editor BILLIE WHITE..........Sophomore Editor Because our job here at home could never compare with the job being done over there I offer no excuses, complaints, or adverse criticism of this year's BRONCO and its publication. It has been a good year, offering plenty of material to fill a yearbook that will in years to come refresh memories of 1944-1945. The staff has been very cooperative; working hard, and smiling through, even when the ride was rough and it was hard to stay in the saddle. The photographer, engravers, and printers have all been short of help, so could not put work out on time. Due to severe illness it was necessary for us to change engravers. But for their willing efforts and complete coop- eration and excellent work we pay tribute to Thurman's Studio, News En- graving Company, Southwestern Engraving Company, Abilene Printing and Stationery Company, and Cecil Cook, the artist. It was a pleasure to be Editor of the 1945 BRONCO. I hope the students are pleased. My wish is that all of Hardin-Simmons, including the BRONCO, may become greater as the years go by.

This was due to the fact that we had no football team and that Ferguson Hall, previously used for men, was needed to give room for women. The council of Cowden-Paxton was organized to promote cooperation and friendliness among residents there and to en- courage conformation of rules. Along with the general officers the council is composed of representatives from each class. FERGUSON HALL COUNCIL MARY GRAY HELEN BURROW . MARGARET ENCKE JAN DICKERSON . . .

This year all girls, a majority of whom are freshmen and cadet nurses, lived there. A council to uphold democratic government was organized. Members were selected by popular vote. Working with Mr. and Mrs. Ribble, who are host and hostess of the hall, the council worked toward cooperation, friendliness and fellowship among the girls. Discipline and conformation to the rules of the univer- sity are encouraged. Recreation and social affairs were plan- ned by the council.

Composed of two members from each class the council meets regularly to consider problems and suggestions of Smith Hall residents. ■ Something new was added to the usual run of things this year when complete student government was introduced in Smith Hall. The plan was to allow the hall council to act in the capacity of a disciplinary council. All infractions of house rules were taken care of by the council with the ex- cellent results that disciplinary problems were cut about 98 per cent. It is the hope of the council that the success of student government in Smith Hall will pave the way for larger student responsibility on the whole campus. A Jk ' j§K A All A I A w fa liat ,.

Sponsor With the demand for well trained teachers growing greater each day, it is the general purpose of the Future Teachers Club to interest the best young men and women in education as a significant career and to develop among them an organization which shall be an integral part of state and national education associations. The club was organized in 1938, with Miss Ethel Hatchett as sponsor, and has been quite active since that time. This year the activities were under three main headings: professional, war work, and pleasure. One of the most worthwhile activities was the organization of a Future Teachers' Club in Abilene High School. At the annual Christmas tea, the girls exchanged books to start or add to their libraries. The members also enjoyed several trips to the Camp Barkeley hospital for the purpose of help- ing entertain the servicemen there. Meetings are held bi-monthly, in which the study of art and music appre- ciation, religion in education, and outside interests of teachers are stressed.

MOORE The Ministerial Council of Hardin-Simmons University is for the unification and broth- erhood of the students of the ministry on the campus. The purpose of the Council is to bring together all men of this profession to discuss the ideals and problems of the ministry. During the meetings a minister, or another distinctive person, speaks to them on subjects of interest. At this time they often have open forums at which they discuss problems of the different churches of which the members are heads. The Council studies the Bible at meetings, and also studies methods of delivery that are effective. The organization has been of high value to the ministers on the campus. Dr. Moore is the faculty advisor for this group. The New Mexico Club was organized this year on the Hardin- Simmons University campus. Students eligible for membership are those whose homes are in New Mexico. The general purpose of the club is for fellowship and to in- crease the members' knowledge and respect of their home state. Also to gain recognition on the Forty Acres for students from a neighboring state is one of their aims. At meeting, talks and discussion groups center around the state of New Mexico. Several social events such as dinners and picnics have provided entertainment. 0. D. COUNCIL CHESTER O'BRIEN BILL CRAVENS DOROTHY ESTEP W. A.

The Pre-Med, Physics, and Chemistry clubs have all been combined in the Science Club. This year the club met each Friday afternoon. Programs on different phases of science were presented by lectures and demonstrations by members and outsiders. Various social activities and field trips were sponsored throughout the year.
