Hunt Greetings from the President: TO THE TRU STEES. PATRONS M) STI DENT BODY OK McMl KKY COLLEGE; OTHER COLA BORERS and FRIENDS: Or.c year of work was successfully completed with the Sprint: of 1924, and a- thin message reaches you the second yrar will havi drawn to a close. It is a matter of great gratification to be able to .«y that tin- growth of the student body in McMurry College has been almost without precedent. ami that tin- high standard of work that ha been maintained by the institution has secured full recognition under the State Department of Education ut Austin for full membership in the Association of Colleges of Texas, which cause it to receive favurab'e mention and congratulation from every quarter. During this year we have engaged for the fir t time in intercollegiate activities, having won our fit 1 intercol- legiate debate and while still operating as a Junior College, in all athletics we Imve lieen playing T. I. A. A. schedules, with a record of victories that would do credit to any of the older institutions of the stale. By the action of the Bonn! of Trustee the college will at it Kali term, in 192S. enter the ranks of the Senior College- nf the latc. conferring the bachelor's degree. Such a record fill our heart with joy and inspire u to believe that the greatest duy of the institution are yet to come. Tire moral and religious atmosphere of the college is on a par with it intellectual attainment , and we con- fidently believe that there i no letter school in all this western land in which young people may truin themselves for life’s service. To all those friends who. through their continued support and noble gifts in money, in books, in tree lor the beuutifying of our campus, and in every other way. have contributed to our equipment, we extend our grateful thank at this time. I trust th.it we shall so conduct ourselves that we shull continue to merit your friendship and your support. With kindest regard to you. J. HUNT. PKMtm.NT.

Last year's senior class was a varied but congenial group of representatives from Simmons, A. C. C., Wesley. Clarendon, and Sul Ross. This group, with such a variety of dispositions, talents, and acquirements, came to McMurry ambitious of being “maximum only” and desirous of establishing “precedents” on any and all occasions. Miss Luker is a sponsor loved by all the class. It was she who helped us to be the “first” land incidentally the “last.” also) class to participate in a swimming party. She inspired us to ascend to the balcony of the chapel, anti to set the precedent of “Senior Week” and others now locked in the annals of our memory books. Incidentally, “the pillars at the entrance to the main driveway” I see Totem ’24) changed their form to that of a neat sum contri- buted toward an endowment fund for the college. Although our class is smaller than it was in ’24, we are still a busy and active group united in our purpose to continue to be “maximum only” until we shall come to be the “first” A.

Most of us look pari in tlu long list of “first” activities Inst year, hul several from other colleges have joined us in our sopho- more dignity. We have put forth every effort to impress the ver- dant lower classmen with the seriousness of college life, and we believe that their frivolity rather than our influence led to the elec- tion of their class president. In this period of transition from Junior to Senior College rank, we sophomores are placed in a rather unusual position; we arc the graduating class, and yet there are the Juniors above us. Only a few of our class intend to take diplomas from a junior college. The prevailing ambition seems to be to receive our B. A. degree from McMurry at the end of a four-year course. Although we have been very busy, we have found time for social affairs. The beautiful party given by Miss Louise Douthit at her home was the fir.-t social event on the sophomore calendar. Sign Day. Sophomore Week, and a few other red-letter days are still awaiting us. -26- 19 2 '7 iv Jotem f? f? v I.I CK HILI.

M. Medley When McMurry opened September 16. 1921. more than a hun- dred fi h began the’r perilous voyage through the sea of (College Life. Maybe we didn't “know it all” at first, but we soon began to learn, and our “fish day” strategy proved to the upper “Clashmcn” that we were not so ignorant as they thought. We have been very successful in ail our class activities. Our socials have all been gala occasions, and Freshman day was de- cidedly a Freshman Day. In .-pile of the efforts of the upper class- men. our flag still floated in the brcerc when at chapel time, a lim- ousine drove up hurriedly, and our queen alighted. Rev. R. B. Freeman placed the crown upon the golden head of Queen Frankie of the Hoii'C of Neill, and our green and while flag was flying gallantly while the chapel program proceeded. It continued to flutter in that high posit on until noon when a truce was signed, and everybody wert on a picnic that evening oj a token of restored friend hip. Above all else, we have learned to love ami honor McMurry as our Alma Mater. W e have learned that a big fish in high school is a minnow in college, but we have enjoyed it all. We are proud of our success, and we hope McMurry will be os bright a light in the world as we have been in the aquarium. mi925EEE cj ie Qotenv u i? f?

As a member of ibis organization, they have endeavored to live up to its standard , succeeding well. The 1921 inter-society debate was won by Elmer Landrelh and Nor- man Hook land, their representatives. A very favorable showing was made by the society in other contests. With the beginning of the 1921-25 year, the Eros began making preparations to win first honors in all inter-society contests, ami to win their share of the school honors. Miss Clifford I rye was elected College Beauty by the united efforts of the Eros and their sister society, the Sigma Lamha Kappa.

Director Kverett Sheppard should receive credit for building up this organ- ization, although due credit should he given the individual mem- bers without whom the band would have been impossible. Our band is one of the most important musical organizations in Abilene and is more efficient musically than the average college band. Several football trips were made by the band. Concerts were given in intervening towns, thereby giving McMlrry much favorable adver- tising. besides putting pep into the squad at the games. There is a great future for this band. When it is uniformed in Indian cos- tume. it will be one of the most distinctive organizations in the state and will make McMlrry, the youngest college in the South w'est, one of the best known.

II. H. Originally the club consisted of a hunch of boys wanting to have ome fun. At the beginning of the present school year, the club was re-organized, and was put on a different basis. The old belt-strap idea has been changed, and it has been made an honor society among the boy -. It is the policy of the organization to pre- serve tradition and help in the general upbuilding of the college through the honor of the boys. This is the only recognized secret organization among the boys of the institution, and we hope that in the future the high standards that are set forth in our constitution will be lived up to. The membership of the order is limited to the men who are passing in their lit- erary work. Besides this, a man must also do something of special interest to the college. 'Hie highest distinction that an I. II. K. can attain may be secured only by winning some great honor for the college. All loyal I. II.

The principles of sportsmanship, so conspicuous in his teaching, are surprisingly practical as guiding lines for every-day living. How lilting that our college, with hig visions for the future, should have for athletic director a man of such character and ability. Coach possesses that rare quality of leadership, which invariably wins the admiration and confidence of his men. and inspires in them the spirit of “Never say «lie.' His career as an actual contestant in athletic games was bril- liant, and our teams seem to have caught something of his lighting spirit for they are steadily meeting harder competition and enjoying favorable comparison with larger -chools. —76— cjfie Qiotenv The Indian Head Association Houston Self Herbert West A rue Garner R.

The Indians begun the last half with only two regular first team men on the field. Most of the Papooses had a chance to play before the game was over. Score: McMt rry 32, Randolph 6. NOVEMBER 1ST In return lor the defeat at San Angelo, the Indians rode eight hundred miles in automobiles to beard the Lobos in their dens at Alpine.

Fourteen of the e games were played in Abilene. Of the three played out of town, two were against Howard Payne College at Brown wood, ami the other at Cisco, against Kamlolph College. Vic Murry won nine games, and lost eight, making the standing of the team at the end of the season .529. This is an enviable record in view f the fact that twelve of the games were played against T. I. . . teams. The remaining live games were played against Junior Colleges, and all were won. A winning team in any association is a team to he proud of, and since ours is a eollegc in its second year, we feel that tin? showing made against older colleges, ami colleges who have had years in which t« build up strong teams, is an excellent accomplishment. The men of the team deserve praise for their work, but Coach Medley de- serves greater credit, for it is l« him that the phenomena! success of the team is due. The two games with Commerce on the 1 Ith and 15th of January, the one with St. Kdwards on January 21th. and the two with Daniel Baker, played on the 30th and 31st of that month, were games re- plete with thrills aplenty for the spectators. In each of these games the scoring was heavy, and most of the time was closely contested. —91— 'dP O i'e otem Mul Review of the Season {Continued) No less interesting from I lie standpoint of speed, skill, and Icam work, were the Iasi four games of the season. Howard Payne’s Yellow Jackets took the Indians first two games of the year in their home city, hut were unable to do the same thing here. The two game with Can- yon, one of the strongest contenders for the I I. A. A. championship, were lost. They were by no means one-sided affairs, however, as the Indian team displayed a good brand of floor play in both games. In the (ir t game, the Indians tied the Buffaloes score at 22.

Short Stop Herby is one of the smartest shortstops wc have seen. He was always in there figuring with them, and very often he caught somebody napping. As lead-ofT hitter he was one of the best. Did quite a bit of the mound work, too. Hassell Brown.................................................Catcher “Half Pint though a youngster at the position, looked like a veteran. Had an uncanny ability to figure out the weak spots of the opposing batsmen. Could always be relied upon to do his part. —100- Ofie cJotertb '• lfl?RV Ed Williams ....... Second Hose Shorty didn’t start out for practice until late, hut he had no trouble breaking into the line-up. “Eddie was always « ul there hustling. Was a good fielder and hitter. Earl Bowers...........................................Right Field “Put On” played his position well, had some trouble in picking hits off the fence, but anywhere else he sacked them. A dangerous man to pitch to. Rayburn Hunt...............................................Second Base “Boob” was one of the fellows that had some mighty stiff competition, but he stayed right in there and hustled all the time. Could always be depended upon to fill any gap in the infield. Cecil Brown . Infield Cecil became known as ihe pinch-hitter of the squad and it was a position that he filled well. On more than one oeassion he saved the day with a timely wallop. Was a good fielder, too. —101— Austin Newton ........ Outfield Newt kept that first string hustling all the time to hold their place on the line up. Was a fast man and always did his part when sent into the game. Sam Steele ........ Infield Silent Sam was never heard to say a word on the diamond hut his playing made up for the difference. Played all the infield positions with ease and was a fairly good hitter. Lloyd Campbeli..........Catcher Although “Handsome” never did gel into the game he possessed all the good looks for the team. No doubt he would have given that old pill a nasty knock if given a chance. Clyde Peeples....................................................Catcher Tiny came to us with very little experience. He very promptly showed that he had a lot of natural ability and he developed quite a hit of it this year. Will he a great help next year. —102— •SS1925S?!: 7 ie 7otern Wedding Bells —103— 31925s How M UCH ? IT uxJLd. O ieCjotem ThTmI I?

He who serves himself and no other is a failure, though death releases his grasp on the ransom of an empire. He who finds life hitter is a fail- ure. though multitudes cheer him on the street. The king who rules an unhappy and maltreated people is a failure. The carpenter who hnngs a door well is a success. There is more honor in using one talent well than in abusing the possession of ten.
