There are few earthly things more beautiful than a University — It is a place where those who hate ignorance may strive to know, where those who perceive truth may strive to make others see; where seekers and learners alike, banded together in the search for knowledge, will honor thought in all its finer way, will welcome thinkers in distress or in exile ___will uphold ever the dignity of thought and learning and will exact standards in these things They will give to the young in their impressionable years, the bond of a lofty purpose shared, of a great corporate life whose links will not be loosed until they die. They give young people that close companionship for which youth longs and that chance of the endless discussion of the themes which are endless without which youth would seem a waste of time. Dynasties may perish or be supplanted, but for century after century the University will continue, and the stream of life will pass through it, and the thinker and the seeker will be bound together in the undying cause of bringing thought into the world, To be a member of one of these great societies ever be a glad distinction. must Dedication 1958 University Queen MISS GLENDA WAGES Hardin-Simmons' University Queens ..........................in..urn....... it................. And here they are—all of the Queens in Hardin-Simmons' history. The pictures are the actual photographs used in their respective yearbooks when they were Queens. Many of them may seem rather outdated as far as fash- ions go, but perhaps others may look at us some day and call us outmoded, too. At any rate they were all Queens in their day in two senses of the word and we salute them with this dedication to them and the qualities which they possessed which made them University Queen of Hardin-Simmons University. Guidance and Government Our busy, versatile president, finds time for other things than sitting behind his desk-- Dr. E. A. Reiff, our president, finds each day to be a busy day. Every day he has numerous meetings, confer- ences, papers to sign, and people to meet. An ambassador for Hardin-Simmons in every way, Dr. Reiff still manages to find time for relaxing activities. Among his favorite leisure-time enjoyments are play- ing chess and reading. His home library provides him with plenty of reading material to make relaxed moments more enjoyable. Whenever a game of chess is begun around the Reiff household, everyone has to get in on the act . It usually turns out to be a battle royal with youngest son Tommy, admitting defeat gracefully. Of course, when there is something going on on cam- pus, Dr. and Mrs. Reiff are always there. President Reiff is an avid sports fan, and is always anxious to see the Cow- boys in action. Unlike many sports fans, he stays com- pletely behind his team even when the going gets rough and the Cowboys are on the low end of the score. Our president means much to us, the student body. May we say, Thank you, President Reiff, for all you have done for Hardin-Simmons and for all you are continuing to do. Dr. Evan Allard Reiff iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii President Emeritus-Dr. Rupert N. Richardson Dr. Richardson still talks of “his” Lone Star State ... No one has ever identified himself more com- pletely with Hardin-Simmons University during the years than Dr. Richardson. He has endeared him- self to the student body through his sympathetic understanding and thorough teaching. He has made history live not only through his class lec- tures, but also through his book, The Lone Star State. In this book he pictures vividly the history of Texas in all its glory and pathos. Dr. Richardson came to Hardin-Simmons in 1917 and has served the school continuously in various capacities since that time. He has become widely known through his scholarly activities and has been honored with membership in Who's Who in Amer- ica and Who's Who in the Southwest. Dr. Rupert N. Richardson, our president emeritus, is appreciated and loved by all Hardin-Simmons. r. 0' c c. o djk gg Wmam M Jm Faculty ....i..in...mi.in....mi.... hi..hi.mi.mu...........

The University Queen’s Banquet The bonfire consumed the accumulation of weeks of work. Old shoes, tires, telephone poles, old lumber and a dummy of the Wichita, Kansas Wheat Shockers, served to make the bonfire bigger than ever. As the bonfire roared on, the students anticipated another day filled with homecoming activity.

They displayed amazing talent in such things as throwing balls, passing oranges (a fa- vorite pastime of theirs), finding shoes, and various other frolicking activities.

The students display unique and varied talents. Their products include paintings, clay work, sculpture, and jewelry. Here students spend many hours during the week putting their ideas and perhaps even dreams into a tangible work of art. Just one glance at some of the classes at work or a showing of the finished products will prove that both talent and abilities reign in our Art Department. Dr. J. B. Smith, head of the Art Department, helped the student body of H-SU to appreciate our department more with his fine talk and illustrations to the student body. Color became more meaningful and form be- came more expressive to the students as a result of his talk. We are proud of our Art Department and will expect even greater things in the future.

The BRAND stated it well when they said, H-SU has five good rea- sons to boost a team. We have five good reasons and six more to add to those five. The cheerlead- ers did a tremendous job of arrang- ing pep rallies, and keeping our school spirit visible. They were al- ways there to cheer the Cowboys whether we were winning or los- ing. After losing Glenda to a guy named Tremaine and losing Dwain Hoover at semester break, alternates, Tommy Mosley and Sharon Tucker filled in and did a very commendable job. Pictured too are the four cheerleaders who backed t h e Freshman football team through an undefeated sea- son and the basketball team through a very successful season.

Arizona came from behind to tie the contest at 7-7 in the first quarter, then went behind 20-7 early in the second, but bounced back to narrow the margin to 20-13 at the half. The Pokes made i I 26-13 in the third sianza, but a 61-yard punt return in the fourth made it 26-20 with 11 minutes to go. And the Wildcats were threatening l°lCMo go90 16 W Sn U lt aCk PetS Hart intercepted a pass on the Poke 11 Wlth The Cowboys rolled up 285 yards on the ground and completed seven of 15 passes for 76 yards. The Cowboy defense limited the Wildcats to only 85 yards on the ground. Bohling charged for 73. The Pokes started strong, going 68 yards in 12 plays the first time they had the ball with Ford passing to end Charlie Shelley for the score. Guard Joe Biggs then figured in the next two first half tallies, as he blocked a punt and recovered it in the Wildcat end zone for one touchdown and then recovered a fumble on the Arizona 21 that set up the Pokes third tally. The lone touchdown in the last half came on a 74 yard drive that was climaxed by a 35 yard scoring tally by Bohling. • « Freshman Football In Carlos Berry's first year at the helm, the Hardin- Simmons Buttons went undefeated in six games as they gave an indication of better things to come for Cowboy teams in the future. Outstanding players on the team were Harold Stephens, the team's leading passer, half- back Charles Bowers, halfback Morris Light, guards, Jim Sloan and Doug McGuire and tackle Tommy Capps. Numbered among their wins was a 32-6 blasting of the West Texas State Freshmen and a bitter triumph over the Texas Tech Frosh, 16-13 in one of the best games of the year at Parramore stadium.

Cisco Junior College . 7 (0 F r All Border Conference Selections Truman Joe Biggs Guard It was a different team when he was in there. This was the opinion shared by the Hardin - Simmons coaching staff of right guard Joe Biggs, 6-1, 210-pound junior from Eldorado, who was selected on the All- Border Conference team. Injured in the Mississippi game, Joe was out for three games with a rib separation, but when he got back into the lineup he proceded tc lead the Pokes to a big upset win over Texas Western and another victory over Border Conference rival, Arizona. He was particularly outstanding in the Arizona game as he blocked a kick for one touch- down and set up the other by recovering a fumble on the Arizona 21. Ted Edmondson Tackle Ted Edmondson, 6-3, 197 - pound tackle from Roswell, N. M., overcame a heart con- dition to play football and his perseverance paid off into All-Conference honors for the Junior star. A second stringer at the be- ginning of the season, Ted moved into the starting lineup against the Rebels of Mis- sissippi and was proclaimed by all the scribes as being the top defensive man on the field. He followed up this great per- formance with another outstanding game against Arizona State. Basketball In his seventh year as head man for the Hardin-Sim- mons basketball team Coach Bill Scott failed to better the 500 mark, finishing with a season's record of 11-14, and 4-6 in the Conference, but he did come up with one of the top rebounding teams of Hardin-Simmons' history. The Pokes grabbed off 1,128 rebounds as compared to their opponents 937 and featured the top rebounder in the Conference in 6-7 forward Doyle Edmiston. Edmiston personally accounted for 375 rebounds. Edmiston also topped the Cowboys in scoring with 351 points for a 14 point average, followed closely by 6-8 center Carl Knight who hauled down 286 rebounds and scored 349 points. Guard Robert Groom led the Pokes in free throw shoot- ing as the flashy 6-0 junior hit on 72 of 90 foul shots for a sparkling 80 per cent. It should be a different story next year as Scott will have all five of his starters back, including Freshman sensation Sam Condo who was averaging 11.9 points a game until he was shelved by scholastic difficulties. And coming up from the Freshman team, which racked up an 8-11 record, are high scoring forwards Milton Martin and Dallas Christian. r- Douglas Wright m ii Freshman Basketball Track—1957 The revival of the H-SU track team and the building of a new cinder track were the biggest stories of the Hardin- Simmons Spring sports program last year. With the Mile Relay team supplying most of the impetus Coach Howard McChesney's thinly clads made the best showing of a Hardin-Simmons track team in the history of the school. As a team the pokes finished second in the El Paso Invitational and the Eastern New Mexico University Invi- tational. An ill fated injury to James Thompson, track captain, cost the Cowboy tracksters a probable first place finish in the Mile Relay at the Border Conference meet at Tucson as the Pokes finished with the best showing in years, tallying 14 points. Dewey Bohling picked up the only blue ribbon for the Pokes as he won the Discus but H-SU freshman half- miler, Moore, nearly pulled the upset of the meet as he ran a scant yard behind defending champion, Dale Winder of Arizona State in the 880. Moore's time was a flashy 1:53.3. 1957 Lettermen In addition to a first place finish in the West Texas relays at Odessa, the mile relay foursome, composed of Max and Richard Irwin, Dee Moore and James Thomp- son, ran second in the Texas Relays and in the grand- father of them all—the Drake Relays—ran third with the sparkling time of 3:17.3. The four sprinters making up the relay team made very favorable showings in the dashes and sprint relays. Richard Irwin placed in several 880's, Max in 220's, and Moore in 440's. Lettering last year were Thompson, Richard Irwin, Max Irwin, Charles Goza, David Cleveland, Joe Allen, Doyle Edmiston, Cleatus Drinnon, Melvin Cunningham, Lynn Faubion, Dewey Bohling, and Dee Moore. Mile Relay Team First Row: Eorf Byerly, Harold Stephens, Jim Tyler, J. P. Schroeder, Dub Pierce, H. E. Dunlap, Don Smith. Second Row: Coach Carlos Berry, Johnny Harrison, Doug Chitsey, Royce Barnes, Joe AUen, Bill Voss, Wilbur McDaniel, Ed Newton, Darrel Edwards. Baseball Carlos Berry—Coach The 1958 season in Baseball saw a new coach, Carlos Berry, take over the reins held last year by John Steber, who resigned in order to devote more time to football. Berry, a 1957 graduate of Hardin-Simmons, was one of the top pitch- ers on last year's squad that compiled a six won, 12 lost record. He was a four-year letterman on the Cowboy foot- ball team and served as captain his senior year. A new baseball diamond was another big development in the baseball program with the Cowboys playing their home games on a diamond constructed on the football prac- tice field north of the H-SU campus. Last year the Cowboys played their home games in Blue Sox Stadium, but the sta- dium was torn down last winter. Regulars reporting back were H. E. Dunlap, second base; Dub Pierce, pitcher; Bill Voss, third base-pitcher; Don McNew, catcher; Joe Allen, pitcher; Robert Groom, outfield- er; and Tim Tyler, pitcher. Dunlap was the team's leading hitter last year and Pierce ranked second in pitching behind Newcomers included Johnny Harrison, an H-SU fresh- man who played third base for the state champion Abilene Eagles last year, Douglas Chitsey, freshman first sacker from Hermleigh and a St. Louis Cardinal prospect. Others on the squad were Kenneth Huffman, Paul Hinds, Danny Yeary, J. P. Schroeder, Harold Stephens, Earl Byerly, and Doug McGuire. The Hardin-Simmons baseball team carded a 12 game sched- ule this year with six more games in the probable stage. Games were scheduled against Texas Tech, Howard Payne, Brooke Med- ical Center, Texas Lutheran College and St. Mary's University. The schedule: March 14—Texas Tech at Lubbock. March 15—Texas Tech at Lubbock. March 20—Texas Tech at Abilene. March 21—Texas Tech at Abilene. March 24—Howard Payne at Brown wood. April 7—New Mexico University at Abilene. April 8—New Mexico University at Abilene. April 10—Howard Payne at Abilene. April 16—Brooke AMC at San Antonio. April 17—Texas Lutheran at San Antonio. April 18—Brooke AMC at San Antonio. April 19—St. Mary's University at San Antonio. Earl Byerly Tennis Spearheaded by two returning lettermen, Freddie Kniffen of Clyde, and Jackie Newton of Plainview, the Hardin-Simmons tennis team was given an outside chance this year of regaining the Border Conference champion- ship. Last year the Pokes surrendered the crown they had won the year before to the University of Arizona by the slim margin of three points. Although the Pokes lost their number one and two singles players, Jerry Goad and Wayne Miller via grad- uation, the Pokes were again expected to be a contender with two Abilene Freshmen, Bobby Conaway and Robert Evans taking up the slack. A squadman, Wayne Franke of Beaumont also re- turned. Coached by Otho Polk, the Hardin-Simmons tennis teams have compiled the best record among Hardin-Sim- mons squads since 1952. In six years at the Conference meet the Cowpokes have never finished below second, winning two championships. Last year's team won 10 and lost six matches. Kniffen, Border Conference Class B singles champion last year was a top candidate for the Class A crown this year and was expected to team with Newton to form one of the top doubles teams in the Conference. The Hardin-Simmons netters tackled an ambitious 17-meet schedule this year with four Southwest Conference schools on the slate. In addition to matches with Baylor, SMU, TCU and Texas Tech, Hardin-Simmons hosted the Tut Bartzen Clinic and competed in the Border Conference meet at Tempe, Arizona. The schedule: March 20—SMU at Dallas March 21—ETSC at Commerce March 22—So. 111. at Commerce March 28—ETSC at Abilene March 29—Baylor at Abilene March 31—Tarleton State at Abilene April 1—-Tex. Tech at Abilene April 14—Baylor at Waco April 15—TCU at Fort Worth April 16—No. Texas at Denton April 19—Sul Ross at Abilene April 26—-NTSC at Abilene April 28—TCU at Abilene May 1 —Tex. Tech at Lubbock May 5—Sul Ross at Alpine May 6—Tex. West, at El Paso May 7—N. M. A M at Las Cruces May 9-10—BC Meet, Tempe, Arizona Jackie Ne Golf With four regulars returning from a team that finished third last year in Border Conference play, the Hardin-Sim- mons Golf team was expected to field one of their finest teams in Hardin-Simmons history. Henry Whitley, junior from Amarillo; Jeff Goodin, sophomore from Las Cruces, N. M.; Bobby Sharp, sopho- more from Gladewater; and Jerry Hobbs of Duncan, Okla- homa, all returned from last year's team that chalked up a 6-2-4 record in dual play and finished high in several of the top collegiate golf tournaments. Coached by Bill Scott, who also doubles as head bas- ketball mentor, the Poke linksmen made fourth place show- ings in the Border Olympics and the West Texas tourna- ments, and chalked up dual victories over three Southwest Conference teams, Texas A. M., Baylor, and TCU. Sharp proved to be one of the finest among the col- legiate golfers as he went undefeated in 10 matches last year and is expected to pace the Poke golfers as they try to dethrone last year's Border Conference champions, Arizona State.
