Hail to thee our Alma Mater, Hail, all hail to thee. To the Trustees, Patrons, Faculty and Student Body of McMurry College My Dear Co-Laborers and Friends: The first year of work in McMurry College will have been completed when this mesage comes to you. How many, many times during this year have we used the word “first. 1 The first faculty, the first student body, the first literary organizations, the first ath- letic organizations! We had our first debates, our first recitals, our first class rushes—in fact all our experiences have been the first experiences of the college: and the events of this year in which you and I have taken part will forever constitute the first history of the actual work of the institution in the educational World. Perhaps if we could have forsecn all futures, we might have done some things differently, but on the whole, the record is to my way of thinking, a remarkably creditable one. We came without traditions, we had no records to which to point, and yet we have accomplished some things of which we can justly be proud; and now the school has a record; it has some established traditions, and you and 1 together have established them. We have brought into exist- ence an institution which is of the first rank in its particular sphere. To each and every one of you I extend greetings, and ihank you individually and collectively for the fine spirit that you have shown, your appreciation of things that were vital to the life of the school, and the intelligent way in which you have given yourselves to the work of properly launching the institution upon the waves of a wide and noble service. We have formed friendships that I trust shall never be broken. We have kindled the glow of happy memories which I trust shall never fade, and we are striving for issues that I trust are eternal. Therefore, let us address ourselves to the future with the :ame courage, faith and enthusiasm that has marked our year's work together, and I shall have no fears for the future of McMurry Collece. W'ith kindest regards, and love to you all. J. W. Hunt. President The Hunting Trail Once perhaps there was a wigwam If'here Me Murry College stands, And across our rolling campus Indian chieftains led their hands. Wild mustangs and herds of bison Harl the prairie Motives been Till they, too were driven onward By the tribes of strong Red Men. When the shades of evening gather. And the chiefs and squaws retire. From the mountains in the distance Gleams the friendly signal fire. Mow the scene is greatly altered Buildings big and strong and fair, Mark the spot where Indian pow-wows Once were held in open air. Yes, this is McMurry College, Built upon the Texas plains. And though white men nou' possess them Love of freedom still remains. Though the tribes are gone forever. And college life is not so free, In the face of all these changes, Indians still we choose to be. —Jewell Posey. O ie otetiv MSMUI?F? Y mi; mmi: mu: Registrar KOIIKIIT II. WYI.IK. . M. Accredit y.

Our College has just started on its progress to- ward greater and nobler things, so let us remember that we had a part in the starting and In: proud that we helped make its first history. As the first graduating class of McMurry we tried io instigate and stand for those principles which were best for the College and for the student body. As a parting gift to our Alma Mater we presented the pillars at the entrance to the main driveway. OFFICERS Robert L. Young, Jr. Wiley L. Caffey .... Lela Mae Skinner .... Walter V. O'Kelly ....

Musical Organizations While Me Murry has been making enviable record? in scholarship and alhlelics, a proportionate amount of enthusiasm and work has been evidenced in the Depart- ment of Music. More than one hundred students have been enrolled in die various classes of this department. In addition to the routine of class work, students of this department have furnished various programs at the College, and at banquets and luncheons of the clubs and organizations of the city; and have launched all musical organizations usually found in our large conservatories class in public school music supervision; an orchestra; quartets; and (dee and Choral Clubs. The Orchestra, which was organized after the Christmas holidays, consists of sixteen pieces. It has appeared in chapel, and is planning a regular concert pro gram to be presented in Abilene and neighboring towns in the spring. The Glee and Choral Clubs, consisting of about seventy-live voices, have done most creditable work throughout tin year. Besides their miscellaneous programs, the dubs are presenting two major programs this year. On December 16th. at St. Paul - Church, to a capacity house, they sang Dudley Buck’s “The Coming of the King, under Mis- Sullivan’s direction. Many and generous have been the compli- ment- expressed by those who heard this cantata. Encouraged by the success attending this first endeavor, the Clubs are now working on Balfc’s “Bohemian Girl.” PCK —52— 19 24 Q ie 'Jote m. It is an um� ual thing for a college to undertake a real opera. But with Misses Sullivan and Warren. Messrs. Sluice. Allen, and Klingmnn. as soloists, assisted by tile lull chorus under Miss Mayhew’s direction, with Misses Morrison and Tripp at the pianos, and Miss Hogue as Art Director, we feel assured of its success. As an evidence of Abilene's confidence in this performance, those in authority have asked that MeMurry feature the “Bohemian Girl” during Music Festival Week in April. When June of 1924 sees Mc.Murry's first year of history completed, by no means the least interesting and beautiful of her memories will be those concerned with her musical organizations. -: 3- 1311924!

The very fir-1 meeting produced an enlightening subject to llie members when Mr. Wylie Iwlured on the programs of oilier societies. The Society chose poetry of the nineteenth century for the lir-t study. Many interesting programs were rendered. Following the study of poelry came the debates and then the final eliminations for the Inter-Society Debate. Misses Lela Mae Skinner and Elizabeth Hunt were the chosen representatives, and on March 5lh they defeated the Phi la team. This uccess renewed the pep. so a contest was launched. Three captains were appointed, and points were given for: attendance, answer to roll-call, and members being on pro- gram.

Medley • ('ouch Medley came to us from Missouri Wesleyan College, being llie first man in that institution to win all four athletic letters. The same fighting spirit and ability dial won for him such an enviable athletic record in his Alma Mater has been re- peatedly manifested throughout the past seasons in the teams he has given McMurry College. His achievements are truly remarkable when consideration is taken of die obstacles which he has hud to overcome. Heginning the football season with at least half the men knowing absolutely nothing about the game and with only three who had won letters in high schools or colleges, he formed a squad that performed wonders, and laid the foundation for a second year that promises great things. In basketball, baseball, and track he has shown uncanny ability us an organizer, and contrary to the usual rule of new schools some winning teams have been pro- duced. Even better than his athletic ability is the influence lie has wielded so strongly over his men and the student body as a whole. He has instilled in them the princi- ples of gentlemanly sportsmanship, and the thought that it is better to lose a contest fairly played than to win one by questionable methods. r Ml I® —75— O ie otem The Association Houston Self Leo Tucker C.

All the team was more or less nervous as the whistle blew for the kickoff, hut they forgot that tension and played like veterans. I he opponents, a team composed of ex-stars, were outplayed by the Indian warriors, hot by the help of a fift yard penalty succeeded in shoving over the winning touch- down in the last two minutes of play. McMurry 6, Brerkenridgc 12. OCTOBER 27tii. In a sea of mud and water the Thorp Spring team was driven back across their goal-line four limes by the Braves. The lirst half saw both teams holding their own but not playing football: however, McMurry made one touchdown. The last half the Indian came back seeing red. Three touchdowns came in rapid sucees- ion. In the last quarter nearly every Indian got a chance to show his ability. Game ended, McMurry 25. Thorp .Spring 0. NOVEMBER 3rd. The third game of the year was also played on the home field. With the Method- ic- from Weatherford College, rated as the strongest team. Again the held was muddy and the game slow. Neither side showed any decided advantage: die Coyotes could gain only by end runs, while McMurry relied on line plunges and off-tackle plays. Both teams fought bitterly, but the game ended a scoreless tic. (Later in the vear Weatherford lost the Junior College State Championship bv a small score.� McMurry 0. W eatherford 0. NOVEMBER 10th. The Indians went to Dallas to play the largest Catholic school of that city. Playing against men who were heavier and more experienced, we suffered a severe defeat. Several of our men were knocked out early in the game, and some of die rest so badly injured that Dallas had little trouble in romping off with the big end of the score. Our team is looking forward to next year hoping that we get a chance for revenge. McMurry 6. Dallas University 63. NOVEMBER 17th. This game was played on the home gridiron against Sul Ross. The Indians, though badly battered from the Dallas game, administered a crushing defeat to die fighting Lobos. Although the score does not indicate a one-sided game. McMurry out played the opponent in all departments of the game. This victory made die liltli consecutive victory for Abilene teams that week. McMurry 12. Sul Ross 0. NOVEMBER 23rd. The last game of Mc.Murry’s first football year was played at Clifton against the Clifton College. This game was the only one lost to a team in our college standing.

Plans are being made now whereby the team will go to Alpine to meet the Sul Koss Lobos. It is probable that the Lobos will come out second best, as usual.
