Crowning event of the summer, as far as the forty acres was concerned, was the coronation of Billie Smith, education major from Goodlet, as Summer Queen. The campus celebrated Queen Billie's enthronement with a lavish coronation ceremony built around a fairy tale theme. Lewis Stephens, Student Council president, crowned the queen before a court of queen nominees and class representatives. Lorado Smith, sister of the queen, escorted by Joe Griffin, was lady-in-waiting. Marilyn Petty, runner - up for the title of queen, was accompanied in the court by Tom Adams. Other queen nominees who appeared in the orchid-decked court were Tomi Williams with Robert Alvis, Peggy Cosper with Jim Tolies, Kay Hall- mark with Paul Petty, Wanda Woody with J. C. Whitaker, and Sue North with Lou Sweet. Class representatives in the ceremony were Clarissa Jones, sophomore, escorted by Jerald Bowen; Frances Knight, freshman, escorted by Weldon Viertel; and Joan Nipp, junior, escorted by Bill Gilchrist. Bill Trice was crown bearer for the coronation. At summer's end came the an- nual graduation services. Bac- calaureate was conducted by Rev. Fred Swank, pastor of Sagamore Hill Baptist Church of Fort Worth. Dr. W. R. White, president of Bay- lor University, was principal speaker for commencement. Both services were held in Parramore Stadium. Almost 250 degrees were awarded by President Rupert N. Richardson. Eight of those de- One of the 145 graduate degrees was awarded posthumously and one of the bachelor of music de- grees went to a blind student whose seeing eye dog led him through that last part of life at H-SU. jlWwiltl _b hr« y,.

Jo Oc Welcome Hack ... Came September with the beginning of school and the welcoming parties given by the churches and campus organizations. The Baptist Stu- dent Union party featured a calendar theme, taking each month of the year and giving it the works. The program included Daisy May and Li'l Abner, a blackface trio and some impromptu audience singing. The party given at the First Baptist Church was a round-the-world tour with stops in China, Hawaii, the Netherlands, Africa and Mexico. Unre- hearsed highlight of the African tour was Euell Porter's trouble with a na- tive costume furnished by J. B. Adair of H-SU. Other welcomes were spon- sored by the University Baptist Church, the Student Council and the South- side Baptist Church. A LOOK AT FRESHMEN . . . The yearly Student Council sponsored Freshman Stunt Night was really a surprise as boys carried off the show. First prize of the evening went to Cliff Wilcox for his impersonations, second was awarded to Jim Chasteen for his singing and Ken and Keith Aulds split the third prize with their take-off of Spike Jones' Hawaiian War Chant. The freshmen got a large collection of talent together including black- face, recitations, pantomimes, pianists, vocalists and some co-eds and the Charleston. By the way, did anyone ever figure out who Clementine was? COWGIRL SOCIAL WHIRL . . . Cowgirls began fall activities with their annual tea honoring all Hardin- Simmons co-eds. Cowgirl officers and sponsor made up the receiving line while other formally attired Cowgirls served and arranged identification tags for guests. Cowgirls also sponsor a tea honoring faculty members early in the spring. The mild madness known as pledging Cowgirls followed the first tea as bids to the organization were sent out. Highlight of pledge week was the in- formal showing of pledges each afternoon before Hunter Hall. There pledges got plenty of practice doing the Cowgirl stomp and having rodeos, acting as both riders and ridden. A formal dinner marked the end of pledging and made the sad-looking pledges full-pledged and fledged Cowgirls. GHOULIES AND GHOSTIES. . . . There was really a ghost-to-ghost hook-up around Rose Field House when Halloween came this way. The Student Council sponsored a big spooky shindig which was furnished complete with goblins, various ghosts and black cats. The super horror program included eerie music both vocal and piano, and stalking, sheet-shrouded figures. The student body played ghostly games to top the entertainment and the climax of it all was popcorn and Halloween punch. AROUND THE FORTY ACRES . . . There's always so much more to do around H-SU than just go to classes. Students soon discovered the vast possibilities of the Student Center which was opened late in last school year. Ping-pong tables and table games find many takers all the time the Center's doors are open. Of course, there is eating, too, in the campus cafeteria, known affection- ately as the beanery. The beanery and the bookstore are both necessary to the life of H-SU. The bookstore can furnish almost any supplies or equip- ment for any activity or course that H-SUers can think up. FARTHER AROUND THE FORTY ACRES . . . The Snack Bar, adjoining the Student Center and containing the all im- portant post office, became the chief student gabbing center. With a coke and a buddy many between class hours were passed there. Chapel required some student time but that was made up in additional hours spent browsing on the second floor of the Student Center where cur- rent magazines and letter writing facilities are provided. A favorite out door sport was waiting for chow in front of the cafeteria. The campus dogs also joined students there in hope of a handout. AS LIFE GOES WITH THE GIRLS . . . Behind the walls of Smith, Hunter, Mary Frances, Senior and Univer- sity Halls live the campus co-eds of H-SU. And it's a gay life they live there even if it does get hectic at times. The day begins with the scramble to make eight o'clock classes, the morning clean-up chores with the inevitable washing and ironing thrown in. Between classes there is time for those important phone calls, gossip sessions with the gals down the hall or maybe some studying. With days end there is time for hair washing, and some mischief like a pillow fight before settling for study and finally bed again in the girls' dorms. FROM THE MALE VIEWPOINT . . . Ferguson and Cowden-Paxton are the hang-outs for most of the guys around the H-SU campus and time never is heavy on their hands while they are at home. Even the men have to cope with washing and ironing and some of them add a real skill with a needle to their accomplishments. But of course, if a fellow wants entertainment, there's the gang around the piano, the card game down the hall or the Cowboy Band members to watch. The guys have their share of studies, too, but those hours of study are lightened by near-by pictures of pin-ups and girl friends. After study hours they snatch a look at the latest literature and then off to the nightly brawl in the showers. They say it's all a lot of fun if you don't weaken. THE BIG TIME AT 1I-SU . . . Big names came to H-SU during October when Horace Heidt and Bob Hope invaded the forty acres. The Heidt show, an artists course, featured local talent as well as young performers with the troupe from all over the nation. Doris Crudgington, Hardin-Simmons songstress, won first place in the local talent group with her rendition of Blue Skies. The two hour program ran from the ridiculous to the sublime—the first, a pulpit pounding evangelist and the latter, a moving arrangement of The Lord's Prayer. The Hope show was sponsored by Abilene Jaycees but H-SUers got in on it anyway. Cowgirls ushered and Rangers directed parking. On the program were H-SU's Mina Matthews and Mrs. Bill Scott. Hope's band leader, Les Brown, conferred with Marion McClure while Marilyn Maxwell tried Hope's ten-gallon hat on Tom Guimarin.

Sophomore D. C. Andrews grabbed a Tiger pass with 1:15 minutes remain- ing in the game and raced 85 yards for the Ranchers' lone touchdown. The heavier, more experienced Ben- gals were in complete charge of the game from the time the Tigers scored on the second play of the game. Fullback Mitchel Malouf and Frank (Dunny) Goode tied at 48 yards each for the Cowboys with Malouf carrying only 12 times to Goode's 14. Brightest spot in the Pokes' defeat were three sophomores — Right End Andrews, Safety man Chester Lyssy, and Right Half Riley Cross. 1 Cowboys 20, Trinity 6 San Antonio, Sept. 29.—Rebounding after dropping the opening game of the season, the Pokes downed a favored Trinity Tiger team in a hard fought tilt. A tough, bruising Cowboy line, plus an almost impregnable pass defense, sewed up the Bengals practically the entire game. Trinity racked up the game's first score early in the first quarter, putting the Cowboys in the hole. But big Gene Offield, a demon on de- fense, blocked the extra point. Late in the second period, Dunny Goode raced around right end untouched to tie the contest. Two minutes and 45 seconds after the start of the second half the Ranchers tallied again on a 73-yard pass play from Quarter- back Bob Hart to End Chester Lyssy. Boggus converted. Three plays later Lyssy intercepted a Tiger pass and brought the ball to the Trinity 26. Full- back Bill Davis then broke through the Tiger line and crossed the double stripe for the final TD of the game. SAMMY WALKER Guard WAYNE ADAMS Tackle JOE MARTIN Guard Cowboys 32, Midwestern 21 Wichita Falls, Oct. 6.—Winning their second straight game of the season, the Pokes over- powered a potent Midwestern University team before 13,000 fans. James Cox proved to be the big gun in the Ranchers attack, racking up 160 yards on 13 carries, setting up two touchdowns each from the one-foot line. Dunny Goode and Bill Davis gave the Cowboys a 12-7 halftime lead. Goode tallied the first TD on a 53-yard scamper inside right tackle after the Indians had jumped into a 7-0 lead. Davis added the second touch- down on a two-yard plunge, climaxing a 66-yard Cowpoke drive. Cox set up the third six-pointer as he galloped 62 yards only to be stopped on the one-foot line. Goode went over on the next play and Weldon Boggus added the first of two extra points. Again Cox set up a Poke touchdown rradng ? yards on the next play and Boggus converted. Cowboys 39, Arizona State (Tempe) 14 Tempe, Arizona, Oct. 13. — The Cowpokes gained their third win of the season behind the running of Dunny Goode, crushing the Tempe State Sun Devils at Goodwin Stadium. Goode led the Pokes to a surprisingly easy vic- tory in their first Border Conference opener, keep- ing their history-long mastery over the Sun Devils The Sun Devils scored the second time they had their hands on the ball, putting the Cowpunchers in the hole from the start. But Goode, who racked up a total of 238 yards and tallied three six-pointers, proved too strong for the Sun Devils. Goode's rushing put him fourth in the nation for yards gained with 504 yards on 91 carries. Late in the third quarter Fullback Bill Davis plunged over to put the Ranchers in front 19-14. From then on it was all H-SU. Boggus converted to make the score, 20-14. After a Poke recovery of a Tempe fumble, Davis lugged the ball over, making the count 32-14 with 11 minutes gone in the final period. Tempe had once led in the fracus 14-12 in the third quarter. BURL TROUTMAN Cowboys 27, Houston 35 Houston, Oct. 20.—Playing their fifth straight game on the road, Warren B. Woodson's crew came out on the short end of a wild scoring fest. The Pokes had their best game of the season in the passing department, but were never ahead in the touchdown department, although tying the score three times. After matching Houston touchdown for touch- down and extra point for extra point to make it 21-21 in the third period, the H-SU squad failed to come through in the final quarter. The Pokes, who dropped their first game in his- tory to the Cougars, were behind to stay when a conversion attempt was blocked by a Houston guard in the final quarter. Dunny Goode piled up some 238 yards, pass receiving and running, for the losers. Goode moved from sixth in the nation to third with a total of 642 gained rushing in five games. Bob Hart passed from his own 38 to Goode for a Poke touch- down as Goode out ran the entire Cougar secondary. Bog- The Cougars drove 59 yards in six plays for a TD after two minutes of play in the second half. But Goode put the Pokes back in the game with a 62-yard touchdown run. AL YANEZ Lett Halfback Cowboys 27, West Texas State 6 Canyon, Oct. 27.—Paced by the running of their All-American candidate, Dunny Goode, the Cowboys fashioned an impressive victory over the West Texas Buffs for the Pokes second Border Conference win of the season. I- C- COLLINS A crowd of about 7,000 braved threatening R,ght Ha!lback weather and cool temperatures to see West Texas State's Homecoming game. Playing on a wet, muddy, slippery field, the Cowpokes struck early, scoring in the first four minutes when Chester Lyssy intercepted a Buff pass on the H-SU 30-yard line. Returning the ball 55 yards to the Buff 15-yard line, Bill Davis finally squeezed through for the touchdown. With two minutes left in the first half, Quarterback Bob Hart sneaked over, Boggus con- verted, and the Pokes led, 13-0 at the half time. In the second half Goode, Hart, and Lyssy, with runs and passes, and with keen blocking, moved the ball 58 yards on ten plays for the six-pointer. With a 20-point shutout margin, the Buffs drove deep into Cowboy territory for the only West Texas TD of the game. With three minutes left, the Cowpunchers started a drive from their 45 with Davis going over for the final touchdown. SHERRY NALL Cowboys 12, Cincinnati 13 Abilene, Nov. 3.—A 90-yard punt return, pass interference, and an extra point spelled defeat for the Pokes in the first home game of the season before a Homecoming crowd in Fair Park Stadium. Midway in the initial quarter after Dunny Goode, Bob Hart, and Mitchel Malouf had moved the ball to the Bearcat 21, Hart toted the mail across for the first touchdown of the game. But Weldon Boggus missed the extra point. Halfway in the second period the Cowboys were forced to punt and Cincinnati's Dom Del Bene took the ball on the ten and romped 90 yards unmolested for the first Cincy TD. The extra point was good and the Cats led, 7-6. But the Pokes rebounded after Art Cunningham had intercepted a Bearcat pass in Cincy terri- tory. Two plays later Hart passed to end Bill Cagle 31 yards over the goal line. With two minutes left in the first half, the Bear- cats found themselves on the H-SU one-yard line as a result of pass interference against H-SU in the end zone. Two plays later the Cats tallied and sewed up the game with the extra point. The Cats had a one-point lead which the Pokes could not overcome in the second half. Cowboys 46, Texas Western 0 Abilene, Nov. 9—Strengthening their bid for top honors in the Border Conference, the Hardin-Sim- mons Cowpunchers slaughtered the Texas West- ern Miners in the second home game of the sea- The Pokes were off and running from the open- ing kick-off driving 81 yards for a touchdown the first time they had possession of the ball. The scores came on in each quarter until the final period when four H-SU touchdowns were tallied. Dunny Goode moved into second place in the national ground gaining department gathering 212 yards. Goode made one touchdown in the third period. Bill Cagle, Cowboy end and co-captain, was the only Poke to cross the double stripe twice, scor- ing touchdowns on pass catches, one from Bob Hart and the second from Jim Riddle. Six other Pokes scored for the Ranchers. A1 Yanez, Harold Barrett, Hart and James Cox each tallied six-pointers. Weldon Boggus and Gene Offield kicked two extra points each. w Cowboys 13, Loyola 14 Pasadena, Calif., Nov. 17.—For the sec- ond year the Loyola Lions nosed out the Cowpokes by one point with the game being played in the Rose Bowl. The Pokes drew first blood in the initial quarter when Dunny Goode went over for the touchdown. But Gene Offield missed the all-important extra point. The Lions came back to score with the nation's number one passing ace, Don Klosterman, filling the air with passes. Klosterman sneaked across the goal line for the initial Lion TD. Kicking the extra point, the Lions led at half time, 7-6. After the intermission kickoff, the Ranchers went down field to score behind the passing of Hart and catching of Bill Cagle, Goode, and Offield. The Lions bounced back with Kloster- man leading the way. Passing their way down field, the Lions went into pay dirt, kicked the point after, and turned out in front as the Pokes' offense failed. Cowboys 14, Arizona 13 Abilene, Nov. 24.—In the last home game of the season the Hardin-Simmons Cowboys stopped a last quarter threat to edge a stubborn Arizona Wildcat team in Parramore Stadium. The precision kicking of Gene Offield brought the Cowpunchers victory over the Wildcats. Of- field booted both extra points after touchdown for the winning Pokes. But Cowboy end Burl Troutman also shared in the glory when he blocked Arizona's attempted conversion after the second Wildcat touchdown with 45 seconds remaining in the game. Bob Hart went over in the second quarter for the first Poke touchdown on a quarterback sneak from the Cat 15. Dunny Goode tallied the second and what proved to be the winning touchdown for the Ranchers in the third quarter. Cowboys 21, Texas Tech 28 Lubbock, Dec. 1.—Playing the traditional game with Texas Tech, the H-SU Cowboys found rocky going and fell to defeat at the hands of the Red Raiders before 16,000 fans in Jones Stadium. The victory gave the Lubbockmen the Border Conference championship. The Pokes dropped into second place BC tie with Arizona State (Tempe), both with a 4-1 record. The Raiders jumped to an early 7-0 lead with Jim Turner scor- ing from the two-yard line. After a 39-yard kickoff return by Chester Lyssy, the Pokes tied up the game with a 46-yard scoring drive, featuring a five-yard touchdown pass from Bob Hart to Lyssy in the end zone. Gene Offield, who played an outstanding aame defensively for the Cowpunchers, kicked the first of three H-SU extra points. But Tech bounced back to stay after 11 minutes with two quick TD's, driving 60 yards for the first, recovering a Cowboy fumble on the 26 and scoing on the first play. H-SU came within one touchdown of the Raiders with the longest aain of the game, a 67-yard pass olay from Hart to Bill Cagle. Each team tallied once in the final period.

It is under the guidance of the Student Council and serves as the connecting link between the Council and various organizations of the stu- dent body. Actually the Student Council members aren't mem- bers of it unless they are president of one of the organizations on the campus. The Student Council depends on the Inter-club Council very heavily to do work that the Student Council itself can't do and where large numbers of workers are needed.

FOOTBALL FEUD BOWL ACTION FIFTH ANNUAL FEUD BOWL CONTEST MUSTANGS 13, SHEEPHERDERS 6 Second half winners in intramural football—the Mustangs—edged the first half champs—the Sheepherders—in the fifth annual Feud Bowl game, 13-6, played on the Ferguson Hall intramural field. The battle climaxed the three-month intramural football program in which six teams had taken part. Ben Niedecken, who tossed both Mustangs touchdown passes, found Bill Wallace open in the 'herder end zone in the first quarter for the initial touchdown of the tilt. Wallace kicked the extra point. Although the Sheepherders drove into Mustang territory twice in the first half, the Bandboys couldn't cross the goal line. In the third period 'Herder Jere Collier inter- cepted a Mustang pass and raced for a touchdown unmolested. But Collier missed the point after and the Mustangs had a slim 7-6 lead. The Horses scored again from Niedecken to Hugh Gamble in the final period as the Mustangs went on to victory and the intramural football title.
