Daily we have seen the Golden Rule made manifest in the service which they have so joyously performed and thereby we have learned a lesson most essential to any education . . . yet one never to be found in books! Sum Rudd To you who are such a vital part of life on the Hardin - Simmons campus, whose sympathetic interest in our phy- sical intellectual and spiritual welfare has encouraged and inspired us, and whose lives stand as a symbol of the greatness of Hardin - Simmons in the past and of the Greater Hardin-Sim- mons of the future, we, the students of Hardin-Simmons University, gratefully dedicate and consign the memory of these two ladies to a place of perma- nence within our hearts, where it may remain to warm us as life lengthens with the years.

A powerful tradition at Simmons College, Simmons Univer- sity, and Hardin-Simmons University has always been the culti- vating of many wholesome friendships in God and with one's fellow man. The Proposed Student Union Building The Greater Hardin-Simmons Endowment Campaign will provide many new addi- tions to the present Hardin-Simmons campus among which will be the proposed Student Union Building. This structure is to have a bigger and better bookstore, fountain and snack counter, rooms for organizational meeting places, publication offices, recreational facili- ties of various sorts, and will be constructed for the welfare of the student and his leisure On the next page is the first drawing of the New and Greater Hardin-Simmons Univer- sity. It includes the Sandefer Memorial Building, construction of which began some time in February, two new boys dormitories, 2 new girls dormitories and a new class room build- ing and the student union building. Remodeling of Behrens Chapel took place during the spring semester. New concrete floors and balconies, stage improvements and a dome for chimes are the new features of the Behrens Chapel. greater Hardin-Simmons Development Program Campus Campaign JOHN EARL SEELIG The Campus Campaign of the Great- er Hardin-Simmons development pro- gram went several thousand dollars over the top of the $21,000 goal set by the steering committee. was John Earl Seelig, Senior fromFred- ericksburg, and the four divisional lead- ers were Ruth Elaine West, Dallas; Ger- ald Martin, Atlanta, Ga.; Minnie Alice Mayfield, and Mary Nell Westmore- land, Abilene.

For the first time in a decade we have at least the promise of relative peace. On the campus are the sights (and the sounds) of other years. Women no longer outnumber the Seniors of 1946, we bid you adieu, and congratulate you on finishing college in times like these The Greater Hardin-Simmons campaign goes on and has made possible new buildings soon to be constructed to meet the greater demands of the new day. We all join with Miss Marceille White in the campaign slogan so aptly phrased, Hardin-Simmons: Great Today, Greater Tomorrow!

WATTS Jn mpmnriam This is my body which was given for you: this do in remembrance of me. —Luke 22:19. Jesus, the Son of God, was going to the cross to die for a sin cursed world. He had met all the enemies of God and man except one, and He had won the victory over them all. Now He was going to meet the last enemy, Death. He knew that He would conquer death, but He also knew that after the victory He would be called home to sit at the right hand of God. Jesus knew how prone the human heart is to forget and how thoughtless and un- thankful man can often be. Aware of this, Jesus led His followers to a little upper chamber and gave them a Memorial Service of Symbols to constantly practice in order to refresh their memory. The bread he likened to His body which was given so freely for the world. The wine He likened to His shed blood. By partaking of them He meant for all who believe to be constantly reminded of the great sacrifice that purchased their salvation, freedom and life eternal. He meant this service not only to point men back to His sacrifice, but to also point forward to His coming again and to the accomplishment of the great things He has for men to do. We come to pay tribute to those heroic men and women of Hardin-Simmons University who gave their lives in the service of the Nation. They saw the great evil forces moving to enslave the world. They saw the challenge being flung at all that makes America dear to the heart of free men. They heard the call to service and quietly they left their homes, their business, their profession or the school to stand between America and the danger which threatened. Willingly, they went; bravely, they served; courageously, they made the supreme sacrifice. They did it all that America might be delivered from dan- ger, that Peace might come again to the world, and, that America might go on to accom- plish the great purpose God has for her to accomplish. As we pause to honor these who gave their lives for us, may the memory of their sacri- fice and devotion stir us up to build a fitting memorial to them; not a memorial of cold stone and lifeless statues; but a living accomplishment of the unfinished task for which they died. Let us grasp the torch they have so grandly borne in death and carry on in life to prove God's truth that, Righteousness exalteth a nation. And as we carry on, may our prayer to God be, in the words of Edward Jack Appleton, God grant my only cowardice may be—afraid to be afraid! W. E.

HUNTER The most important event of the year was the coronation of Her Most Royal Highness, Queen Frances, of the House of Evans. Queen Frances' court was composed of the class favorites and their escorts, the class presidents, and the Bronco and Brand Sweethearts and their escorts. The theme of the Coronation was A Fantasy of Favorites. After the coronation ceremonies in Behrens Chapel, Queen Frances and her court was honored with an All-University Banquet at the Windsor Hotel, with the theme of Hitch Your Wagon to a Star. The most important social event of the Summer Session, 1945, was the Coronation of Her Royal Highness, Summer Queen Mary Nell of the House of Westmoreland, in a Fies- ta setting in front of the Administration Building. Her court consisted of Summer Queen Nominees and their escorts. U'Nita Faye Rogers, Social Chairman of the Student Council, was in charge of both coronations and was responsible for both sets, all decorations, banquets and all other ar- rangements.

After a formal presen- tation they were given a free night of entertainment by the Brand Staff. iBle lE lEiaE E fE ftEglE B lL E fElgEa L Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges, sponsored an- nually by the University of Alabama, are select students chosen to represent the school in this national honorary organization. The number each school may select is in propor- tion to the size of the student enrollment and prominence of the school. Qualities upon which selection is based are character, s'cholarship, leadership, par- ticipation in extra-curricular activities, morality, and possibility of future usefulness to busi- ness and society. A student's aptitudes and interests in college are indicative of his trend in later life. For that reason, any student whose name appears in Who's Who is a reliable potential employee, friend or associate. Seventeen Hardin-Simmons candidates, as a result of a student election held last Octo- ber, will be represented in the new edition of Who's Who this year. Five seniors were au- tomatically members because they were selected while still in their junior year. Those elected last year were: Nancy Cunningham for her outstanding work as student Social Chairman; Gene Eppler for serving as student councilman, Business Manager of the H-SU Brand, and this year as editor; John Earl Seelig, former junior class president, head yell leader, serving this year as senior class president and editor of the Bronco; Frances Evans, prominent speech student reigning over the campus this year as Univer- sity Queen and president of the University Orchestra; and Chester O'Brien was selected for outstanding leadership in religious and debating activities. New members outstanding in their respective fields include Wilson Ross, president of the Student Council; Rose Shirley Walkow, most promising voice student; Mary Price, president of Alpha Chi and prominent piano student; Virginia Garrett, widely recognized for outstanding work in religious music; Otis Harvey, student band director and president of Beta Mu Kappa; Minnie Alice Mayfield, president of Cowgirls; Floyd Moose McCoy, band work and one of first returned veterans; Mary Nell Westmoreland, Summer Queen and student organist; Ruth Elaine West, voice and president of the Senior Hall Council; Doris Shirley, BSU student leader and secretary; John McLaughlin, president of BSU; Joyce Canon, Smith Hall student hostess, beauty; George Elam, president of H-SU veterans in fall semester; Billie White, Junior yell leader and president of Alpha Psi Omega; Bill Sorell, basketball; Bobbie Lawson, religious activities; and Warren Hultgren, president of the Jun- Strolling about the campus, one would recognize members of Who's Who at Hardin- Simmons by their scholastic work and pastimes in their future professions. ♦ GENE EPPLER • Gene Eppler's talents are innumerable, ranging from science and journalism to dramatics and mu- sic. He is president of the Press Club, has had three roles in major productions, is the Honorable Prompt- er of Alpha Psi Omega and plays the piano quite well. Epp has served on the Student Council for two years and almost became this year's student prexy. His outstanding achievement, journalistic- ally, however, is that he is Editor of the Brand. His creative ability, cooperativeness, amiability, sincer- ity, and loyalty have made him a friend to all and definitely a campus leader. NANCY CUNNINGHAM • Student council socials! Tri-Nitro-Toluene! Test Tubes! Music! Friendliness! Personality! Put them all together and you have Nancy Cunning- ham. She has gained prominence on the campus by promoting student council socials, presiding over the Science Club, by singing in the University Cho- rus, by being an active member of Cowgirls, and by her other major—Campusology. Nancy will al- ways be remembered for her ability to promote and create, make friends, have fun, and enjoy life for what it has to offer. JOHN EARL SEELIG When it comes to boosting the Cowboy School there is no one who has more spirit and pep than John Earl. He holds the distinction as a student leader with constructive ideas and ability to see them materialize. Among his many activities and honors we find the most outstanding to be: Editor of the Bronco, President of his Junior and Senior Classes, Head Yell Leader, member of Alpha Psi Omega, Chow Hands, Science Club, Press Club, and FT A. He was the Student Chairman of the suc- cessful Greater Hardin-Simmons Campus Campaign and is now teaching algebra and trigonometry. FRANCES EVANS • Basing her identity on intelligence, charm, per- sonality, and beauty, Frances Evans possesses every qualification of a University Queen. Major- ing in speech, Frances plans to continue her career in the radio field and already is employed by the local radio station. Other activities she takes an interest in are her duties as Orchestra president, band member and Junior yell leader. She may be rated with Alpha Psi Omega's best actresses and perhaps in the future this beautiful queen will play an important role in the professional world. VIRGINIA GARRETT Dependable . Ambitious . Consecrated Loyal Friendly Efficient express the things Virginia Garrett stands for. She is one of the leading voice students on the campus and has thrilled the hearts of many from West Texas to Washington, D. C., her home, as she sings songs as Ave Maria. Virginia is a third year member of the distinguished University Girl's Quartette, Uni- versity Chorus, Beta Mu Kappa, Cowgirls, and other organizations. She is secretary of the Senior Class and Brand Sweetheart. She plans to do graduate work and has dedicated her life to Special Religious Service. CHESTER O'BRIEN With a ready smile and a cheery greeting for everyone, Chester will always be remembered for his ability to express his ideas for a better Christian world. His life as an ideal Christian leader will al- ways be an inspiration and challenge to those who know him. Not only is Chester an outstanding spirit- ual leader on the campus but he is also prominent in sports, music and oratory. We know that H-SU is proud to call him one of its sons. And we know that with his scholastic achievements, loyalty, friendli- ness, humbleness, sincerity, spiritual influence and his leadership in the ministry, the people he will serve will benefit from his teachings. MARY PRICE OTIS HARVEY MINNIE ALICE MAYFIELD Who could think of the Cowgirls without thinking of Minnie Alice Mayfield, the gal with the vim, vigor and vitality who presides over this most colorful or- ganization? Through her ceaseless efforts and un- tiring spirit the Cowgirls are once more gaining pre- war prominence and color with a post-war air. Minnie Alice is a Business Administration major and has served many clubs and organizations on the campus and can justifiably be called an outstanding student and leader. FLOYD D. McCOY Ex-Lieutenant Moose McCoy is one of the hun- dreds of veterans who have returned to their alma mater to continue their studies interrupted by the call to arms. Moose was a Navigator in the Air Corps and served his stretch in the European Theater, based in England. He flew 25 missions and won the Air Medal with three clusters and other cita- tions and Battle Stars. He is vice-president of the Student Council and vice-president of the Veterans, and has made quite a contribution to the Band and Orchestra with his trombone. He was an active member of the Cowboy Band before the war. MARY NELL WESTMORELAND RUTH ELAINE WEST DORIS SHIRLEY To know Doris is to like her! Doris has been an outstanding leader in the re- ligious life of the campus, promoting many and varied programs and parties for the BSU, Life Ser- vice Band, and University Church. Her position as secretary of the BSU has been the greatest contribut- ing factor to her popularity on this campus. Her ability to council with students, solve student prob- lems, and her understanding have caused many to confide in her. With a faith and determination like hers, there is no doubt in the minds of her many friends that she will always be a great influence and inspiration to those she meets. john McLaughlin With his consecrated life, his determined spirit, and his friendly personality, Johnny McLaughlin has won his way into the hearts of many this year. It is natural to see him leading any group for he is a natural born leader. He has served faithfully as the president of the Baptist Student Union and was chosen to be an officer on next year's state BSU Council as the Music Director. Klem Kadiddlehop- per, as he is sometimes referred to by his close friends, is headed for success and may someday be one' of the greatest religious leaders of the South. As a veteran member of the Smith Hall Council serving in the capacity of everything, including chief cook and bottle washer, Joyce has held this position for three years. She now serves as pro- gram chairman of the BSU Council and it's nothing but natural to see her buzzing around the campus planning these activities. She won the coveted honor of being presented as the Beauty of the campus last year and has received many other hon- ors. Her life is an inspiration to many and her crea- tive ability gives her distinction as a campus beauty and favorite. GEORGE ELAM George certainly looks natural entering the Beanery for he was the mercenary soul who col- lected the money when anyone dined there. One of the first veterans to enter our school last fall, George took charge of the Veterans Organization as its president. He served efficiently in this capac- ity until mid-term when he left H-SU and enrolled in O. U. to take over Visual Education there. He jumped right into the saddle of campus spirit when he served as campaign manager in the Meek for Queen bout. BILLIE SORELL BILLIE WHITE Yell Leader? One of the BEST! Dramatics? Ghose Train! Arsenic and Old Lace! Outward Bound! Grand Director of Alpha Psi Omega, National Dramatic Fraternity! Players Club! These are the outstanding achievements of B. White. Her other activities include Cowgirls, Bron- co staff, Mary Frances Hall Council, Class Favorite, Summer Queen Runner-up, and many others. Billie Sue will always be remembered for her school spirit, her pep, her ability to make friends, and for being one of the best all-around persons on the Forty Acres. It's people like her that keep the Purple and Gold waving high and the H-SU spirit at its peak. BOBBIE LAWSON • Adding IOU's in the business office is a small part of this young lady's life at Hardin-Simmons. Consecrated, kind, gracious, sympathetic, wouldn't begin to portray the most outstanding qualities pos- sessed by our friend Bobbie. With her conse- crated life she will be an attribute to the title of min- ister's wife. She has inspired, challenged, loved, and helped many. She is an ideal person, an ideal Christian, and an ideal friend. WARREN HULTGREN When this Yankee came to Texas from Minne- sota he went in for the Cowboy tactics in a big way and to see him without his cowboy boots was an unusual thing. If it hadn't been that he made such a good hand on the Forty Acres he might have been termed as a Drugstore Cowboy. During his ca- reer at H-SU the students learned to love him for his keen sense of humor and friendly spirit. As an- other preacher boy his devoted life has influenced many. He is president of the Junior Class, president of Pi Kappa Delta and belongs to many organiza- tions. He will not be satisfied until he reaches the top rung of the ladder. WILSON ROSS ROSE SHIRLEY WALKOW A hush falls over the audience and a clear, soft soprano voice rings out as Rose Shirley sings to the student body. Her principal interest is in music and in becoming an opera star. Rose Shirley has been praised by numbers of musicians who have visited the campus and heard her voice. She has been guest soloist with our own band and orchestra and has done solo work with the Houston Symphony several summers. She is a member of the Girls' Quartette, Beta Mu Kappa, and University Chorus. Lt. Commander Warren B. Woodson Coach Warren Woodson To one whose ideals and staunch character serve as an inspiration to all who know him, who through ceaseless efforts has served both his school and his country with un- divided loyalty, to a molder of men and a maker of real teams, we respectfully dedicate this section of the 1946 Memorial Bronco to Coach Warren B. Woodson. Return to Sports After an absence of three and a half years from the fields of competitive sports, the men of Hardin-Simmons, toughened and hardened by many months of service in the armed forces, have returned to their alma mater to once again wage gridiron wars and keep aflame the spirit of the memorable Cowboys of 1942. Along with them, they have brought other men from many parts of the country and together they will strive to maintain the standards set up by athletes of the past. Therefore, we, the Bronco staff, focus our eyes on coming sports events with the hope that this RETURN TO SPORTS will be the start of a new and greater era in the field of ath- letic achievement. Basketball was one of the few major sports in which teams of the Border Conference participated. The Cowboys were hindered by a lack of material at the first of the sea- son, but when suitable players were found they were then hindered by a lack of practice. The men did come through though with some good hustling, a lot of action-filled games, and a good portion of the spirit of the fighting Cowboys, only to be overcome by super- ior height and plentiful reserves on the part of the opposition.

Such men as Red Cleveland, A1 Milch, Gene Starkey, Raymond Troutman, Errol McAtee, Herman Raphelt, Doc Mobley, Bullet Cook, A1 Johnson, Jack Ellison, Hank Brown, Jim Callam, Raymond Cook, and Tony Poulos combined to form a large part of the coming team of 1946. Coupled with these were newcomers to the campus who in future days will strive to wear the Purple and Gold on the grid- iron. Under the direction of Coach Wood- son, these two groups of athletes partici- pated in the annual spring training period and showed great form, initiative, and abil- ity—more than enough to stamp them as one of the top contenders for the Border Championship title. COACH WOODSON Harlan Foresyth and George Watson digging the Pole Vault Pit. Throughout the whole of the spring semester, track and field events held a prominent position in the athletic curricula. With many men turning out daily for workouts on the cinderpath, interest in this sport took an up-turn. Coached by Warren Woodson, the team participated in a few tournaments held in West Texas and went on to make an appreci- able showing for themselves and the school. HARLAN FORESYTH H. L. FUTCH Leading Sprinters in the Spring track meet included Bob Erwin, Raymond Troutman and Errol McAtee. Javelin—Ben Williams Discus—Raymond Troutman TENNIS Tennis became one of the most popular sports to be seen on the campus., because daily the courts bristled with netters. The returning veterans will arouse competition dur- ing the coming tournaments which are held twice a year, in the fall and in the spring. 1945 FALL TOURNAMENT RESULTS: Melvin Smith ......................................Men's Singles Margaret Conway ..................................Girls' Singles Melvin Smith and Leroy Hall................................Men's Doubles Roy Jean Shahan and Leroy Hall.............................Mixed Doubles ARCHERY One of the minor sports which held quite an interest among the girls during the past semesters was archery. SWIMMING Swimming became the outstanding sport among both boys and girls at the close of the '45 Spring semester. Student lifeguards were employed and regular hours were set aside for swimming periods. BADMINTON Badminton was a very popular sport among the P. E. classes during the fall and spring semesters. There were no major tournaments, although some classes held contests between its members.

The Theme of this edition is Greater Hardin-Simmons. We are in the infancy of a new era of bigger and better things for our alma mater. Long may thy worth increase, long live thy noble cause.

The chief aim of the Brand, the me- dium through which weekly news is brought to the students, has been to make the publication reflect the stan- dards and ideals of Hardin-Simmons by always keeping in mind the interest of the students and the school as a whole. Too, it served as an apprentice- ship for students who plan to follow a newspaper career. This year the Brand initiated the se- lection of a Sweetheart, Virginia Gar- rett, to be presented in the University coronation. Another feature of the year was sponsoring the Beauty and Beast contest.

DAM-If i, � 1 „' ' Mu-'i Postal Statioi I CORINTHIANS, 13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
