Abilene, Texas hywanah McFarland EDITOR FOREWORD In the making of this book, we have sought to portray the life of our campus, that we may not forget, when the years have slipped away, the joys, the hopes, friendships, and the inspirations, and purposes of our college days. mmm 0DH WH2!©r5 BUILDINGS ADMINISTRATION CLASSES FAVORITES SPORTS CAMPUS LIFE ORGANIZATIONS ATI ON To Mary E. Head, who, as a member of the University Staff for twenty-five years, was friend and counsellor to thousands of young men and women who came this way, we dedicate the 1947 Bronco, with genuine gratitude and ap- preciation, for all the rich meaning of her service and influence. For her gracious friendship blended with sound wisdom; for true helpfulness mingled with frank expression and firm decisions; for a sense of duty mellowed by understanding and sympathy; for insight and thoughtfulness and intelligent effort that helped many to solve difficult, perplexing problems; and for admirable personal traits and qual- ities that won hearts, gave inspiration, and built faith in the value of noble and significant individual character, Hardin-Simmons men and women of the past quarter of a century are greatly indebted. Dining Hall Library Caldwell Fine Arts Parramore Stadium THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Commencement in June, 1947, will close an eventful year: the year of all-time peak enrollment; of another faultless football season; of the big fire ; and a continuation of the greatest building program the University has known. A host of friends have pledged anew their support. The future of Hardin-Simmons was never more secure. I hasten to add, however, that never has the need for friends been greater or the opportunity for service through the University more inviting. Seniors, in bidding you adieu, we share your high hopes for success in the years ahead. The present world scene may be uncertain, but it is not uninteresting. Do your part to improve the spot where you are. We wish you a large share of happiness; we covet your continued support and loyal interest' in your Alma Mater.

Many sports writers of this sector who have watched Rancher elevens with interest claim that Finishing with a final Associated Press rating of 26th in the nation, the Ranchers ranked higher than record that will be hard to In addition to the envious record attained by the 1946 Cowboys, several individual stars captured Mobley, in 1946 as in 1942, led all college ground gainers of the nation and was selected on the AP Little Next season when the Cowboys take to the gridiron, many familiar faces will be present in the Purple the SEASON'S STANDING CONFERENCE STANDING Hardin-Simmons .31 Hardin-Simmons. .21 Hardin-Simmons. 34 Hardin-Simmons .49 Hardin-Simmofis 46 Hardin-Simmons .19 Hardin-Simmons. 28 Hardin-Simmons. 20 Hardin-Simmons 33 Hardin-Simmons 21 Hardin-Simmons .20 Hardin-Simmons. 332 McMurry .0 Kansas State 7 San Jose.......7 New Mexico ....0 Arizona (Tempe) 6 Arizona 8 West Texas .7 Texas Mines . ... .7 Howard Payne 0 Texas Tech 6 Denver 0 Opponents .48 Hardin-Simmons 49 Hardin-Simmons 46 Hardin-Simmons 19 Hardin-Simmons. .28 Hardin-Simmons 20 Hardin-Simmons 21 Hardin-Simmons 183 New Mexico .0 Arizona (Tempe) 6 Arizona ........8 West Texas . .7 Texas Mines . 7 Texas Tech 6 Opponents 34 ALVItyOHNSON Hardin-Simmons 31, McMurry 0 Hardin-Simmons celebrated its return to collegiate football after a three year lay-off with a 31-0 victory over the scrappy McMurry Indians and the uncovering of a new star in Virgil Dugie Turner, an aggressive minia- ture of big brother Bulldog. Hardin-Simmons 21, Kansas State 7 MORRIS SOUTHALL Hardin-Simmons 34, San Jose 7 Cowboys turn Spartans' errors to touchdowns, triumph 34-7. Doc Mobley tabs three touchdowns. The West Texas Cowboys played a brilliant brand of ball that reminded the 5,000 partisan fans of the Border Con- ference crew at the height of its 1942 campaign. Hardin-Simmons 49, New Mexico U. 0 Hardin-Simmons trounces New Mexico Loboes, 49-0. Rudy (Little Doc) Mobley was all over the Lobo gridiron. Bob McChesney, regular right end, suffered severe frac- ture of an arm which kept him out of play the rest of the season. HANK BROWN RED CLEVELAND Center Co-Captain J. W. STEADMAN Hardin-Simmons 46, Arizona Tempe, 6 Cowboys trounce Tempe, 46-6. Little Doc Mobley sparkled in old-time little All-American form at Mustang bowl, as he led the Hardin-Simmons Cowboys to their second straight Border Conference triumph over the visiting Arizona Bulldogs from Tempe.

Fumbles delayed the Hardin-Simmons victory, but the Cowboys finally crashed through for two last quarter touchdowns to preserve their perfect record and defeat Arizona.

Hardin-Simmons 20, Texas Mines 7 Cowboys beat Miners, 20-7. Hardin-Simmons' un- beaten, untied Cowboys came from behind in the second half to defeat Texas Mines. It was a thrilling game throughout the 60 minutes of play. JACK HARRIS EARL STRAWBERRY ROWAN Tackle All Conference VIRGIL DUGIE TURNER Back HERMAN RAPHELT JOE ENGLAND Tackle Hardin-Simmons 33, Howard Payne 0 Late starting Cowboys roll to 33-0 victory over Howard Payne. It was the most top-heavy score the Ranchers have ever piled up in the 30-year rivalry with the Brownwood Baptists. Hardin-Simmons 21, Texas Tech 6 Cowboys down Texas Tech, 21-6, to cop Border Con- ference title. A cool, calculating and vicious Hardin- Simmons football team played its game of the year to cut down Texas Tech before an overflow crowd of 13,000 West Texas fans. It was only through the efforts of the whole team that this was made possible. Johnson's passes to Cook and Foster clinched the score. That brilliant achievement left the Cowboys unbeaten and untied for the second time in the school's history. Hardin-Simmons 20, Denver 0 Alamo Bowl Mobley dashes over goal line twice as Cowboys down Denver, 20-0. The books were closed on the na- tion's first postwar football season with powerful H-SU, unbeaten and untied champions of the Border Con- ference, crunching out a 20-0 victory over the Denver Pioneers in the postponed Alamo Bowl. It was Hardin- Simmons all the way. The Squad Front Row: Raymond Troutman, Ray Salo, Virgil Tur- ner, Pat Bailey, Bob McChesney, Morris Southall, Harlan Foresyth, Bill Hair, Bill Scott, E. G. Foster.

Foster, Coach Wesley Bradshaw took his boys through thirty-five games. It was the FIRST post-war basketball season, Coach Bradshaw's FIRST year to coach a Cowboy squad, and the FIRST year for nine of the squad members. Under these circum- stances it wasn't until the final games that he was beginning to show the Cowboys' full strength. The team made one of the longest tours of the school's history with a West Coast trip which covered four different states, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Cali- fornia; and played as far east as Fort Worth, not taking into consideration the many short jumps to neighboring towns. With the return of nine of this year's lettermen, Simmons can look forward to a bigger and better club in '47-'48.

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 nothing. 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 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.
