STAFF NOTE THE 1963 BRONCO IS A NEW YEARBOOK. IT IS NEW IN THAT IT HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE AND NEW IN THAT IT HAS A NEW LOOK ABOUT IT. THE PAPER USED THIS YEAR HAS A THIRD DIMENSION APPEARANCE TO IT. PHOTOG- RAPHY HAS PLAYED A VERY IMPORTANT PART IN THIS VOLUME OF THE BRONCO. EVERY STEP HAS BEEN TAKEN TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE BEST IN PHOTOGRAPHS. SOME- THING WE ARE VERY PROUD OF ARE THE FOUR-COLOR PROCESS PICTURES. COLOR PICTURES, WHICH ARE A CHAL- LENGE TO THE PRINTER AS WELL AS TO THE PHOTOGRA- PHER, PROVIDE THE READER WITH AN ACCURATE VIEW OF THE CAMPUS. SEVERAL THOUSAND HOURS HAVE GONE INTO THE PRODUCTION OF THE 1963 BRONCO. HUNDREDS MORE HAVE BEEN SPENT IN PLANNING IT. AS YOU GLANCE THROUGH THE BOOK, PLACE YOURSELF INTO AS MANY OF THE ACTIVITIES AS YOU CAN. SEE HOW MANY MEMORIES RETURN WHEN A PICTURE TRIGGERS A FORGOTTEN CLUB MEETING, AN EXCITING GAME, OR FRIEND WHOSE NAME HAS SLIPPED YOUR MIND. THIS, THE 1963 BRONCO, IS DE- SIGNED TO KEEP MEMORIES ALIVE BY PRESENTING THE 1962-1963 SCHOOL YEAR TO YOU. THE STAFF

A TRIBUTE HARDIN-SIMMONS UNIVERSITY LOST A GREAT FRIEND WHEN SHERIFF WILL WATSON DIED JANUARY 8, 1963. SHERIFF WILL BE ESPECIALLY MISSED BY THE MANY COWBOY BAND MEMBERS WHO HAD THE GREAT HONOR AND PRIVILEGE OF KNOWING HIM. UNTIL HIS DEATH, HE WAS THE CONSTANT COMPANION OF THE BAND ON THEIR TRIPS. FORTY YEARS AGO HE HELPED TO ORGANIZE THE COMBOY BAND AND THE SIX WHITE HORSES. ILLNESS FORCED HIM TO STOP HIS BELOVED DUTY OF CARRYING THE AMERI- CAN FLAG WHENEVER THE WHITE HORSES PERFORMED. HOWEVER, HE WAS ALWAYS ON HAND WHEN THE BAND AND THE WHITE HORSES APPEARED LOCALLY. SHERIFF AT THAT TIME WOULD FEEL MOVED TO GIVE ADVICE AND DIRECTIONS ABOUT HOW TO PUT THAT BOX OVER THERE AND TURN THE CHAPS SO THE NUMBERS SHOW AND DON'T STEP ON THE BUCKLES, BOYS . HIS LAST TRIP WITH THE BAND WAS OCTOBER 28, 1962, WHEN THE BAND PLAYED FOR A BAPTIST YOUTH RALLY IN DALLAS. SHERIFF CRIED, AS USUAL, AT THE ANNUAL BAND CHRISTMAS PARTY WHEN HE EMPHASIZED THAT THIS IS THE BEST CHRISTMAS I EVER HAD . IT WAS HIS LAST CHRISTMAS, TOO. HE WAS A MAN WHO HAD BECOME A LEGEND IN HIS OWN LIFETIME.
