Hunt The Presidenfs Message To Tins STLIIlEN'l'S AND PATRONS or Mclvlumw CoLLlac1s, Gfuse'r1Ncs: lVIclVlurry College comes before its widening and growing constituency with L1 record of continued growth and development that is an inspiration to those who are responsible for its management and should be to its friends and patrons everywhere. This achievement is the result of close and efficient work by a faculty that is second to none among the institutions of Western Texas, and is without precedent. The management of MclVlurry College conceives that the highest work of any school today is in the training of character and in the development of manhood and womanhood. It is the endeavor of the institution to send out into the world people who personally know God and are, therefore, best equipped to lead in the work of church or slate. We deny that it is just as necessary for a boy to know the fundamentals of an automobile as it is that he shall know the fundamentals of an English education, and we further assert that it is even more important that he shall know the fundamentals of Christian living and service than it is that he shall become an expert in either of the other two. Though we are firmly convinced as to the necessity of training and educating the mind of the student, we, nevertheless, realize that the way of salvation is not by the universities but over an old hill called Calvary. And because we believe this, we invite West Texas to send its young people to this institution that they may be properly trained and equipped for a definite service to their fellowman, and may some day become polished shafts to be shot from the bow of Cod into the quivering heart of the world. To the students going out of the institution, bearing their degree, the President wishes to extend his special wishes and prayers for a laudable and successful career. To patrons and students: We greet you in the name of our one Lord and Master, who is the great Teacher, even Jesus, the Christ, the Son of the Holy Ghost and of the Virgin Mary, the supreme offering for the sins of man on Calvary.

We have done our best to portray college life as it is seen daily on the McMurry campus. It has been our purpose to produce a book that will mean more to the students of McMurry as the years pass, and with each page we wish to recall some happy experience of our college days. Of course we do not claim perfection for our book, but we have done our best to produce a book worthy of the institution of which it is a part. This is the second volume of the Totem to have color process work, and is the first to use four color work. We have usedfor the theme in this book a History of Methodism, and have tried to picture Methodism in its various stages of growth and development. ' Many changes have been made in the book of this year and we hope these changes will meet with your approval. It is always the ambition of an annual staff to produce a better book than the one before. Although we have worked under numerous handicaps, we have done our best to make for you a bigger and better annual. EARL M. NowL1N G. C. HARDY Editor Business Manager Eighty-two liffi.

The new advance was but a part of the program of growth beginning with the first edition back in 1923, with Bonner lVleador as editor. Last year, V. O. Key, Jr., made a record with the publication which the present staff .felt would be an excellent mark toward which to aspire. There has been little real difficulty in the publishing of The War Whoop during the year 1927-'28, although the editor has been rather discouraged at times when great yawning open spaces greeted him from the make-up forms, ten or twelve 2 hours after the issuance time. There were six hundred and fifty copies printed each I week, and never more than a dozen or two left. The increased circulation has at- tracted the interest of national advertisers, and in other ways aided in the work this vear. i An effort was made during the entire year to cover equally all organizations l and departments of the school. If in any instance this ideal failed, the staff offers 3 its apologes, for the slight was not intended. Equal representation and the open- y minded survey of all student questions and problems has been the goal set by way of achievement this year. y GORDON WEBIS HUBERT CURRY xl y Editor Business Manager l II l ll i , l l l xr Wm Q 'El s s s Q, J 1, 4, -.

The first two l years the Galleon was edited by the staffs of the other publications. However, it was L' decided that the Galleon deserved a separate staff which would feel more responsi- bility in editing the magazine than would the members of the other staffs. Anne , Mathews was elected editor in 1926 and began her work in the fall of that year. EN Since that time the Galleon has continually increased in quality. It contains the very best short stories, poems and other creative work done by the students. l l . l 1 THE STAFF it Editor . . . . . . . MAURINE EAs'rUs ' 1 Assistant Editor . . .

Ili McMurry representatives engaged in thirty intercollegiate debates and were very successful. Twenty-five of these debates were held on the enemy platform. By virtue of the work done by the debating club of McMurry,, the National Council of the Tau Kappa Alpha Forensic Fraternity granted McMurry College a local chapter I of this fraternity. This is one of the largest honorary fraternities in the United fl States and McMurry has the distinction of being one of the smallwt colleges to lf have a chapter. 1 The first trip made by McMurry representatives took our debaters through twelve of the Northern states. Twelve debates were engaged in by the McMurry team, Earl M. Nowlin and Marvin L. Boyd. The colleges and universities visited p on this tour were: Texas Technological College of Lubbock, Southwestern State .'y Teachers College of Weatherford, Okla.g Oklahoma City University of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Baptist University of Shawnee, Okla.g Tarkio College of Tarkio, Missourig Simpson College of Indianola, Iowa, Gustavus Adolphus College of St. A , Peter, Minnesotag Augsburg College of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Loyola University ' l of Chicagog St. Viator College of Bourboannis, Illinois, University of Dayton of l Dayton, Ohiog and Central Wesleyan College of Warrenton, Missouri. 3 5 i EARL M.

They upheld both sides of the Foreign Intervention question and discussed the negative side of the question of a Federal Department of Education. One of these debates was a non-decision contest. Of the eleven contests only two were lost, This team met Baylor University, Oklahoma City University, and Austin College on the home platform. A tour was made through the Southern and Eastern states by J. E. Shewbert, l Jr., and Hubert Curry. On this tour they traveled through twelve states engaging in F nine debates.

The schools met on their tour were: Howard Payne College of Brownwood, North Texas Teachers College of Dentong St. Edwards University of Austin, and Sam Houston State Teachers College of Huntsville. y As far as we know, all of these men will be back next year. Also Wayne I Cook and Benton Neely, debaters of last year, will probably be back in the ring next year. With all of these men and 'with all of the new material that we will get, I the coach of next year will be able to produce teams of the very highest quality. Each year marks progress in debating in lVlclVIurry and we are expecting still more progress next year. ' Debating in MclVlurry this year was sponsored by Professor' James E. Free- I man. The schedule was planned and arranged by Earl M. Nowlin, forensic manager. I John J. Watts will manage forensics next year. I I lwALVIN MONTGOMERY JOHN J.

Ninety LAY ACTIVITIES CLUB The MclVIurry Lay Activities Club was organized in the Fall of 1926 for the purpose of training the young men and women, as laymen, to take their places in the Church of tomorrow. It is a sister organization of the Life Service Band, the two having joint meetings sometimes during the year. This Club has grown from a handful to a membership of more than forty during the Fall term of 1927. The Lay Activities Club co-operates with the lay leader of the Abilene district in sending lay speakers to the various stations and churches in the district that do not have church 'every Sunday. Many times a group of young Iaymen hold an entire service in the church. These laymen are often accompanied by members of the Life Service Band to assist in these lay programs. An interesting program is rendered each regular meeting on the first and third Wednesdays of each month. Various phases of the church's program are dis- cussed by lay speakers outside of the student body, and several timesduring the year Dean lVlcKeown, Conference lay leader of the Northwest Texas Conference and honorary member of the Club, has made an address to the group upon a subject of his own selection. Through the faithful sponsorship of Miss Tate, the club has gone forward with an extensive program. Top row-BELL, EDWARDS, GREEK. Boztom pow-HALE, HUNT, WEBB, Woon. Nin ety-one At: THE INDIAN BAND The Indian Band of lVIclVlurry College is directed by Everett Shepherd. His efficiency as director has made possible the realization of a merit deserving band for the College. Individual members, through sacrifice of time and energy, have united in publishing afar and near the spirit that exists in our Alma Mater. Chief among the honors won b the Indian Band was the winning of second . U Y . . D place ll'l the band contest featured at the Ranger Annual Oil Convention last October. This fact speaks well for the musical abilities of the personnel of the Band. Co-operation with the Wall Wah Taysee, and student body at large, was no small factor in the development of a spirit that spurred the Indians on to cham- pionship. Loyalty to the athletic teams has been manifested to the superlative degree. In appreciation of the splendid services rendered, the Indian Band was honor guest at a banquet at the Hilton sponsored by the Students' Association on November 7, 1927. The theme of the evening was '40n to Commerce and Victory. The prominence of the lVIclVIurry College Indian Band is evident by the numerous invitations it has received to give programs in various West Texas towns, as well as in the schools and churches of Abilene. r Y - -- 7--Y - - N inety-two WAH WAH TAYSEE In the Fall of 1926, by means of a committee from the faculty and student body, fifty girls were elected to membership in an organization which was to take the place that a Pep Squad holds in most schools and colleges. Since the group was not content to be designated by the usual name, the title of g'Wah Wah Taysecn was selected, which, in the Indian language, means firefly. The successful pioneering of this organization prompted desires for other interests as well as athletic. The initial outcome of such choosing was a camp-us reception given the first week of school in September '27 for all new students of college standing. The guests were given application blanks which, when signed by three members, entitled the applicant to a place on the nominee list, from which vacancies in the organization were supplied. The Wah Wah aysees were complimented with an invitation to the Annual Oil Convention at Ranger in October. A banquet, honoring the Wah Wah Taysees and lVIclVIurry Indian Band was sponsored by the Students' Association on Novem- ber 7, 1927. Although the heightened glories of the T. I. A. A. season are indebted to the unanimous support of the entire student body, it is but fair to say that these little firefly maidens threw quite a bit of light to the Brave Warriors in moments of midnight darkness when near the uncrossed goal line in a contested battle. Ninety-three THE BELLE OF BARNSTAPOOLE ln the lVlclVlurry College auditorium, on the evening of January 31, 1928, was presented 'LThe Belle of Barnstapoolef' an operetta directed by Mrs. Gypsy Ted Sullivan Wylie, instructor of the voice department. This operetta was a portrayal of the life of modern youths. The scene was that of Barnstpoole Quay on a summer afternoon. A great .entanglement in the first act unraveled itself in a dramatic climax, and all ended happily for the sailors and their Sweethearts. A chorus of eighteen afforded a great deal of merriment and color for the performance. The dominant tone was one of gayety and p-leasing charm, which was suitably acted by Beulah Tracy, Edith Kral, Rigdon Edwards, Hubert Bell, Alton Brookerson, Stuart Hamblen, Marvin Boyd, Clark Meador, Alice Bean, Margaret Jones, and Sallye Bean. ' Ninety-four THE BELLE OF BARCELONA On the eveninff of Januar 30, 1923, the curtain was drawn in the McMurr ' . . D . Y . 5' College auditorgum revealing the stage beautifully decorated to represent the court of a Spanish home, which was the setting for the '4Belle of Barcelonafl This Spanish festival was presented by 4'The Chantersfi in keeping with their custom of offering musical programs of unusual interest each term. The operetta was directed by Mrs. Gypsy Ted Sullivan Wylie, Dean of the Fine Arts Department. Much success of the performance is accredited to the excellent work of the chorus of the twenty-two persons from the choral club and the glee club. The char- acter roles were interpreted by Carolyn Mclxleely, Eugene Luker, Elizabeth Hunt, Catherine Wright, Marvin Boyd, Alton Brookerson, Hubert Bell, Belmont Bishop, T. J. Turner, Beulah Tracy, Lillian Terry, Irene Meador, Glenn Davis, Rigdon Ed- wards, and Howard Bell. Ninety-five THE HONOR COUNCIL The Honor Council is a representative group from the Woman's Self Govern- ment Association. Its purpose is to preserve student honor, to regulate conduct, and to control any minor disciplinary matter that arises within the halls. The membership of the Association includes every student residing in the Woman's Halls of lVIcMurry College. Its officers are the President, two head proc- tors, and five floor proctors. They are known as the Honor Council of the Woman's Self Government Association. In order to hold an office, that is, to be a member of the Honor Council, one must first meet with certain requirements. If the specified qualifications are ap- proved hy the Dean of Women and a committee from the faculty, then, the nominees may he elected by Australian ballot. ' The value of such a system of regulating conduct lies in the fact that each girl is placed on her own honor, while the officers have the privilege of experiencing a responsibility not to be found elsewhere. ' The ideals of Christian Womanhood furnish the standard for guidance at all times. Due to this fact, the self-governing association has become a harmonious and influential one.

Its purpose is to unify the religious organizations on the campus, and to promote Christian fellowship among the students. From the Methodist Student Federation in McMurry have evolved the Min- isterial F orun1,, -and the Mission Band. These auxiliaries are aiding in the extension work of the Federation by rendering various Slmday programs within the district. . McMurry has had active part in the State Federation work since its admis- sion in 1925. For three consecutive years a lVlcMurry student has held a state office. The annual convention of the State Federation was held at McMurry in the fall of '27 at which time the local organization successfully entertained representa- tives of eight colleges and universities.

' T REBLE CLEF 1 The Treble Clef was first conceived by Mrs. Gypsy Ted Sullivan Wylie,, Dean l ' of the Fine Arts Department. Its membership at first consisted of the students in the voice department, but later the members of the first and -second quartets were invited . to join the organization. P The weekly meetings last year were almost entirely given to the study of -l Grand Opera, however, in a few of the programs were presented numbers from the l quartets. This year, the second in the history of the Treble Clef, has been profitably ' spent. The meetings have been conducted as classes, from which practical informa- ' tion has been received by the attendants. 4 A broader viewpoint in the musical world has been gained through observation than by any other method. A trip to the Opera Aida,7' by Verdi, at Wichita Falls on February 29, 1928, included the Treble Clef and its guests. Since study is not the only aspect of the organization, the social functions , have not been neglected. A reception was given in the Fine Arts Studio on the 4 evening of October 20, 1927, honoring Lucile Chalfant, coloratura Soprano, and her 3 N accompanist. 4 .

R., DBAMATIC CLUB The Thespian Dramatic Club of lVlclVlurry College was first organized by lVlrs. Flora Barrow in 1924-. Last year the club was skillfully carried on by Miss Helen lVlcNeelyg the fall of 728 found the Thespians under the direction of Miss Dorothy Beck, head of the Speech Arts Department. The first production of the year was '4You and I, by Philip Barrie. The Thespian's interpretation of the popular drama displayed skill both on the part of the director and the actors. The artistic settings used were constructed by mem- bers of the Play Production class. This group directed four one-act plays which were the outstanding features of the winter term's course. These dramas were: '4lVloonshine, by Arthur Hop- kins, 4'Will-0'-the-Wis1J, by Doris Holman, The Girlsf' by Edward Peple, and Cabbages,,' by Edward Stoadt. A public presentation of the four plays was made in the college chapel auditorium on the evening of March 9, from which the Will- o'-the-Wispn was chosen, by judges, to represent lVIclVlurry College in the Little Theater Tournament at Dallas.

One Hundred One BOYS' QUARTET Since the secondiyear of lVIclVlurry's history the annual quartet try-outs have been looked forward to with more or less fear and trembling on the part of the contestantsg while the auditors anticipated an equal amount of pleasure and interest. Under the direction of Mrs. Gypsy Ted Sullivan Wylie a talented quadruple has gone out to represent the institution in a musical way. , Last spring term the Boys' Quartet carried the colors of their Alma Mater through many towns of the Rio Grande Valley and Central Texas. The entertain- ment offered by this group was invaluable to lVlclVlurry from the standpoint of publicity. The quartet for the year 1927-'28 has been featured in the opera numbers produced by the fine arts department, as well as in glee club programs. This quartet made a triumphant appearance at the Chanters' Frolic on Feb- ruary 27, 1928. Since that time many civic clubs and school audiences have been delighted by their singing. lVlEADOR, EDWARDS, HANIBLEN, LUKER. gg gg g I l One Hundred Two r Q l , ,V Q., GIRLS' QUARTET lVlclVlurry has probably never had a group of entertainers who were more sought after than its girls' quartet. These girls have made for the institution they represent, as well as for them- selves, a warm place in the hearts- of all the people for whom they have sung. They have established a reputation not easy for other-s to surpass. Under Mrs. Gypsy Ted Sullivan Wylie,s supervision the girls' quartet has accomplished much in the musical world. They have also formed many lasting friendships as a result of the close association. An evidence of this tie was shown by the large number of former quartet members who returned to lVIcMurry on February 27, 1928, to greet old friends at a homecoming reception after the Annual Chanters' Frolic. lt was not unusual for this quartet to sing three and four times each week for local audiences, among them, the luncheons of the Rotary, Lions, and Kiwanis Clubs. Each Sunday was characterized by several engagements. Audiences in many West Texas towns as well as those in near by towns, have been delighted by these talented musicians. Any number of chapel programs and fine arts recitals have been charming because of an a earance of lVlclVlurr 's own ' I , I b cv PP Y gir s quartet ln costume num ers. MCNEELY, HOGAN, HUNT, Tmcr. F One Hundred Three l THE ORCHESTRA The McMurry College Orchestral directed by Miss Beatrice Story, the violin instructor, has progressed along the line of ensemble playing. This fact is due to the improvement in each player,s ability. Throughout the year 1927-1928 the lVlclVlurry Orchestra has been in constant demand by local entertaining groups, among them the 'LChanters7 Frolicn and the Marriage of Manettef' These musicians have furnished the musical program for numerous banquets and receptions held in Abilene. lts appearance in the college chapel programs has been a joy to the student body from time to time, and its as- sistance in many other program events in the college chapel auditorium has been deemed invaluable. The rehearsal hour is often' made interesting by a study of cla-ssical music and world famed composers. Especial attention is also given to the modern mu- sicians and the themes of their compositions. Szamling-S'rom', WATTS, WEBB, BELL, LoNc, WARREN, BALDRIDGE, SHEPHERD.

I SIGMA PI DELTA EIIIII IIIIMIIII-IIIII,IIIIi: If Iiffrfhll-I It III I tEIEIIIILEHIIIiIIIIIIIICIJIJILIIIIIIIIIII The purpose of the Sigma Pi Delta, which was organized in 1926 as a chapter of the Scholarship Societies of Texas, now of the South, is to promote scholarship among college students. The highest ranking ten percent of the junior and senior classes is elected to membership at the beginning of each school year. Character as well as quality is a determining factor, for if a person has the mentality to make higher grades than the average student, he should be proficient in some other lines also. The world no longer regards the studious, be-spectacled, personage as an educated man unless he has more than just high average in classroom work. It takes an applied knowledge of how to participate in various student activities, and most of all,, the ability to meet and get along with people, in addition to the scholastic attainments, to be justly called educated. ln most cases, the person who is proficient in hooks has some other talents also, and many of the faces below appear in various sections of the Totem in other. activities. The real scholar is the man who understands life both in books and in reality. Top row-Easrus, W. GREEK, HAMILTON, HARDY, IRVINE, JONES.

The first three years, the cultural and social advancement of the members was promoted by inter-society contests such as debates, oratory, and declamations. The attractive Year Book of 1926 featured a study of the Lowry Scrap Books, a rare gift collection of four hundred volumes. Lured on by the Texas folklore treasures uncovered in this research, the club members of 1927-1928 went on more ambitious adventures, bringing back fascinating legends from their home counties. This idea was the theme of the Year Book, and the valuable material was left as a gift to the college library. The prize for the best legend was a miniature loving cup awarded by Miss Luker, the Ero Sponsor. Top row-ADDIsoN, AMERSON, BANKS, BAKER, A. BEAN, S. BEAN, BEAVERS, BLACK, BOWMAN.

The Annual St. Patrick Pishoque on March 5, in honor of the 1928'graduates consisted. of anamusing program of stunts, plays, and dances, climaxed in a Sham- rock Grand March and Pot Luck Brew ladled by pretty colleens.

The stated purpose at that time was to conduct debating, declaiming, oratory, and the lighter forms Of athletics. - In 1926 these interests were absorbed by their respective Departments in Col- lege, leaving training in club work as the only main objective. The work of 1927-1928 has been a study of items of general interest taken from The Mentor. In regard to the lessons on literature and the fine arts, especial emphasis has been placed on the art of painting. No little amount of time has been spent on the disclosure of many peculiarly interesting phases of the supposedly for- gotten literature and traditions of the old world. An intense study of Indian legends and customs was featured in connection with the regular course. The first social event of the year was an initiation picnic at Cobb Park. New members were told the story of uPandOra's Boxf' in which only Hope was left after Pandora heeded the call of her curiosity. This myth was symbolized in the presenta- t'On Of a hope to each initiate from the old members. Top row-AND12RsON, BALDRIDGE, BOREN, BLAINE, BROWN, CLARK, CHRISTMAS, COLLIER.

There, the usual witchcraft was displayed amidst an array of gayly costumed guests. The crowning feature was a treasure hunt which led to the refreshment chest. On February 14, 1928, the third annual Valentine party was given at the home of the sponsor, Miss Jennie Tate. Original games and contests composed by Miss Tate, the hostess, furnished unusual merriment which was climaxed by the reading of impromptu Valentine verses written by the guests. The Alpha Theta Nu's social calendar for the Spring Term includes the major affairs of the Phila Isocietyg it is that of a luncheon honoring the Seniors, both college and academy, and the Alummni Association. The luncheon is also regarded as Hliomeconiingi' for Alpha Theta Nu and is, therefore, a joyous occasion. It is the desire of the sponsor that each Phila may receive through her associa- tion with Alpha Theta Nu, a lasting appreciation of the beautiful in art, literature and science in a way that will be applicable in later life.

A. meeting in 1927 at Waxahachie, V. O. Key, Jr., then editor of the school paper, took first place in the editorial section of the contestsg also, he won third in the feature article division. Miss Jewell Posey was awarded third place in the poetry contestsg while the Galleon, edited by Miss Anne Mathews, won third in the literary magazine contest as it did the preceding year. T he 1927 Totem was given superior rating in the All-American contest sponsored by the University of Minnesota. Fourteen new members were added during the past college year. Each of these individuals had accomplished some work worthy of Press Club recognition. The regular route of entrance is by having five thousand words accepted for publica- tion, although three students were invited to membership after having won in the local T. l. P. A. contests. The honorees were initiated at various times during the year, keeping the student body interested in the club which received members on the basis of accomplishment alone.

The difficulty in the obtaining of the annual awards to the more worthy members, in recognition for their exceptional work. Rather than break a tradition of standing since the organization of the club, the situation was cared for, and nine awards were made. Silver quills, with Indian guards are presented to the students of junior standing who have served two years on the staff of a college publication. Gold quills are awarded seniors who have three years of service, one of which has been on a major staff position. Miss Julia Luker, press organization .sponsor, has been of greatest service at all times in helping with the awards work, as well as other phases of the publications. The annual banquet was held this year in the Red Room of the Hilton Hotel, with President J. W. Hunt as the speaker. Dr. Hunt, a practical newspaperman, having -spent a major part of his youth in the journalistic realm, was a very CHICK'- taining speaker on that occasion. Harriet Monroe, editor of '4Poetry, spoke to the club members in 1925, and Lexie Dean Robertson, Texas poetess, read for the group in 1926. Max Bently was the guest of honor at the 1927 banquet. Many joint meetings have been held with Simmons University and Abilene Christian College Press Clubs for the purpose of inviting the T. I. P. A. to Abilene in 1929.

It was organized in 1923 not only for the purpose of making preparations for life work, but to do actual Service by helping to christianize the campus. Meetings are held on alternating Wednesday evenings at which time a prayer meeting is conducted in connection with a program of deep spiritual nature. The Life Service Band assumes the lead in all phases of christian duties in the college life., as well as offering personal assistance during the revival meetings that are held in the fall and spring terms of the college year. A strong feeling of fellowship exists in the band due to the association and united purpose that binds the members in a spiritual way. This same feeling is also prevalent in the social side of the band. Top row-ADCOCK, BALDRIDGE, BLACK, Born, CooK, CRAIN, CRAWFORD. Middle row-DARRACOTT, FISHER, CRIMES, GUTHRIE, HARDY, HICKS.

A LIFE SERVICE BAND qcominuedp The Ministerial Forum and Mission Band have been organized from the mem- bership of the Life Service Band to further the young men's and young womenis work in a more concentrated method. Through these organizations the Ministerial students have found inspiration to lead them in their field of service. The Life Service Band forms a link between the two that could not otherwise exist, and for that reason it is not likely to become absorbed by the Mission Band and Ministerial Forum as was proposed at a meeting early in the fall term of '27. That the spirit of Christian fellowship is rapidly spreading is manifested at each joint session of the Life Service Band and the Lay Activities club, under the leadership of Tim Guthrie, President of the band.

R. was founded way back in the early days of 1923 when traditions were in the making. It had its beginning in the innate craving of man for meats of various kinds, chicken included, but soon outgrew this beginning and is the only secret organization for men recognized by the powers as having a legitimate purpose on the campus. ' A banquet is given each year and is one of the outstanding events of the college social year. Neophytes performing for their superiors give the students much amusement during the year. The organization has among its members the majority of the leading students of the institution, and an invitation to join is an acknowledgement of the high rank- ing of the student in some of the activities of college life. Morris Hodges is Big Chiefg Clyde Park, Senior Chiefg Naldie Hale, Junior Chiefg and Gilmer Addison, Wise Man. Professor W. C. Cameron is the Guiding Spirit of the organization, in the absence of W. C. Holden, and much of the influence which it wielded for good on the campus, and for the good of the college, has been due to his able counsel in the workings of the I. H. R.

The mystic element involved is made secure by a secret symbolism that is quite fascinating. . The T. I. P. Galleon is launched each September for a voyage around its world, the college year, and it anchors only to admit passengers, or to give chapel programs and parties, so far as the outside world knows, since most of its sailing is secretly done in some secluded channel. Every charter member recalls the high seas into which the T. I. P. canoe was launched during the wintry weather of January 1925, as well as the low ebbing tide that permitted its return in the spring time. The tempests did not attack the staunch Galleon on its voyages of 1926 and 1927, which fact bespoke safety for the ensuing years. To celebrate the fulfillment of such a prophecy, a progressive dinner was given in honor of the College Senior members of the T. I. P. Before leaving on a more extensive voyage for this year, the T. l. P. was hostess to friends at an October moonlight party. Non-secret stops are not being made except to admit interested passengers and to render the usual chapel pro- grams, all attention being centered on the T. I. P. Galleon's destiny. Its return to harbor in the spring was hailed with singing of Red Wing, an- other cherished symbolism, and welcomed by every one of its former passengers at the first annual Homecoming Festival .

SYLVESTER CLUB The history of the Sylvester club covers only a short span of time. ln the fall of 1927 the signs of time seemed right for the organization of a new club which would meet some of the needs of the students of Sylvester. One of the outstanding needs was that of social activities. Another of the outstanding purposes of the or- ganization is to keep up the school spirit and to get more students from Sylvester. The Club serves as a connecting link between lVlclVlurry College and the high school students of Sylvester. Social activities of the organization have been featured by various picnics. The club plans at least one picnic each term and there are always a large per cent of the members present. The members will also remember the theater party which was given during the winter term. Those who have guided the destinies of the club this year are: President, Gordon Weblog Vice-President, A. J. Hillg Secretary, Alice Crossg Reporter, Georgia Farrell. - Top row-BROWN, Cnoss, C.

One Hundred Twenty-eight ' F 1 STAMFORD CLUB The Stamford Club made its debut on the lVlcMurry campus in September 19271, as a result of the enrollment of a large number of students from Stamford. The purpose of this organization is to promote an interest in MclVlurry among the students of Stamford High School and to create in them a desire to become a student of lVlclVIurry College. Another purpose of the club is to promote various social activities for membership. The members of this Club were given an opportunity to demonstrate their ability as entertainers in a chapel program which was given late in the Fall term. One of the outstanding social functions is a picnic which the Club plans each term for the membership and their friends. The Club promises to be a permanent institution in lVIclVIurry and each vear we are expecting a large number of students from Stamford. Gerald Porter is presi- dent of this organization, and Miss Hazel Arnold is the sponsor. Top row-AMERSON, BAKER, Easrus, HELLUMS, MAss1A, OWENS. Bottom rows-PAYNE, SWIFT, TERRY, L.

'nfl ,asf-,i THE PREACHERS, KIDS The Preachers' Kids Club is unusual in that it has to do only with the social aspect of the college life, and that is its stated purpose. This group became an organization in the Fall term of 1925, for social activi- ties ancl in order to have its picture in the Totem. It organized the following year for exactly the same purpose and achieved the desired goal, as is characteristic of persons bearing the title of preachers, kids. The Children of Israel, a-s they are sometimes called, found their place in college life early in September, 1927. Those who were eligible to membership as- sembled and elected Alfred Freeman, presidentg Beulah Tracy, Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. W. C. Cameron was selected to be Father of the Preachers' Kids. A social com- mittee was appointed, and it began functioning immediately. On October 29, 1927, occurred the first social event which was a picnic held at Cobb Park. On such occasions, absolutely no one is admitted except Preachers' Kids and their Father. Top row-ANDERSON, BAILEY, BEAVERS, BOYD, COUNCIL, Davis, ELDRIDGE, HINDS. Middle row-A. HUNT, JAMESON, C.

One Hundred Thirty PRE-MEDICAL CLUB To create in pre-medical students a greater desire, interests, and determina- tion to attain the heights of the profession to which they have been calledg to assist in the promotion of Science and Language courses that are essential as prerequisite requirements for entrance in the larger medical colleges of America, and to become acquainted with representatives of the various phases in the medical profession, as well as to acquire a basic knowledge for further study in medical sciences-are the primary factors for which this club was organized. The lVIclVlurry Pre-Medical club began active work in September, 1927. Its members have secured catalogues from thirty-five of the leading Medical Institutions in the United States which will be placed in the MclVIurry College library for future reference in club work. Doctors of local, state, and Southern renown have lectured to the club at its regular meeting hour. The members have visited in hospitals of the city, observ- ing operations at the times specified by the local doctors.

H. S. Club includes all college students and academy pupils who have attended Abilene High School. The initial aim in organizing was solely that of sociability. Since its membership increased by scores each year, the A. H. S. has advanced in prestige and excelled in social functions. Plans are being made for the A. H. S. to foster a uloyalty-to-high-school movement, wherein A. H. S. will be chief among the other high school clubs. Such a campaign is expected to result in bringing the most desirable students to lVlclVlurry in future years. According to college history, A. H. S. dates from 1925, excepting the period of 'ithe Dark Ages in 1926 when its social meetings were crowded off the calendar by college activities. This item of historical data.is not likely to repeat itself with the present ideas in View for constructive and Worthwhile achievements. The President, ,lack Fulwiler, intends to keep the memory of the Abilene Eagles ever present in the mind of A. H. S., even though it follows this slogan: McMurry'first, and acts the patriot, Indians next.'7 Top row-ARNOLD, BEAVERS, BLAIN, BURKS, CLARK, COCKRELL, CoLL1Ns, COUCH, DAVIS.

Although four years elapsed before the Indians attained their remarkable standing, only one season was required for lVIcMurry and loyal friends to realize the value 'of this athletic di.rector. He is indeed a fine character. To Coach, a defeat is quite undesirable, but an unfair victory is a disgrace. Such a spirit is ever radiated in his sportsmanship, and it has been manifested in all athletic contests. It is not the way you win, but the way you play the game, Coach Medley told the Indians. Everyone has faith in Coach. Words from the athletes sound their confidence and respect for him. ' To the congeniality of Assistant Coach Clyde Pratt is due a considerable amount of credit for an over-successful year in athletics. His stability of sports- manship has had its weight with the student body. Pratt came to the reservation last Fall, after a brilliant career with the Texas Longhorns. His services are now deemed necessary in lVlclVIurry. Under his direction, baseball promises to bring home many scalps, with which the year '27, '28 will be made complete in athletic realms. R. M.

Somehow one dares not fail to rally when this cheer leader speaks, and he speaks incessantly and unfalteringly. The McMurry spirit of four years' renown has grown in leaps this year. The numerous victories were not responsible either. In fact, they were an indirect result of the spirit as it was upheld and carried on by Alfred, the undaunted. Alfred went into the cheer leaderls office with the wish that he might keep the old pep on topg not once did he fail. He was a true sport, and lVlcMurry recog- nized him as such. His influence and enthusiasm will last forever along with his loyalty to the Indians and dear old Alma Mater. Meador, the song leader, is the recipient of favorable comm-ent concerning her modesty in leadership. As president of the Wah Wah Taysee her capability for song leader was forseen. To her executive ability, firmness, and fairness may be accredited the cooperative attitude of the Wah Wah Taysees in further, building the lVlclVIurry spirit to its highest standard. -Meador was congenial with the cheer leaders, and their assistants, who were, Jack Fulwiler, Lou Hampton, and Katherine Hodges.

A. A. CHAMPIONS In the fall of 1923 when the youthful Coach Medley sought to develop Mc- Murryis first football machine, he had a small squad of recruits with which to work. The Indians of the first yeans of the school history, like all new athletic clubs, passed through a series of development that was not always successful. Victories were won, however, from the first and a fighting record has been made every year. After only three years of work in the athletic sphere, MclVIurry was admitted to the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The first season in this organiza- tion was a difficult task, but the W'ar1'iors came through with a .333 standing in the association. All during these years of struggle to produce a winning club, Coach was handicapped because of a lack of reserve material. ln September 1927, the Indians were even yet looked upon as contenders for the cellar position. Every coach in the T. I. A. A. wanted a game with the Indians in order to fatten his standing. Unfortunately for them, Coach Medley gave five leading T. I. A. A. teams a chance to run up the score. The lVIclVIurry squad was composed of forty men, among them ten veterans and a few promising high school products. Before the team ever took the field for the first game, local fans were HERBERT WEST CLYDE PARK End E nd One Hundred Thirty-six ,, As, -41 T. 1. A. A. CHAMPIONS qcominuedp looking to the tribe for a winning record. Medley had the reserve strength that he had waited and hoped for during four seasons. The loss of such men as Hill, Murphy, Brown, Ledbetter, Nix and Walker from the roster of the regulars was somewhat of a handicap. Probably the greatest biow to the ambitions of the squad and the entire. .student body, was the tragic loss of the much beloved Captain-Elect, Ovid Donaldson. It was evident, however, that the lndians would develop into a more formid- able aggregation than any of the previous Maroon and White gridsters. It was also a well known fact that awaiting this aggregation was the most difficult schedule in the history of the institution. It included five outstanding representatives of the T. I. A. A., the junior college championship squad of Tarleton, and the Texas Con- ference leaders from Howard Payne College. Team work, good coaching, loyalty of the 'student body, and a fighting spirit combined with the memory of a departed leader spurred the Indians on to victory. Not once did a T. I. A. A. team cross the Indian goal line, and McMurry College, as a result, is champion of the Association in football. I Onro M11cu1.1.r.

The visitors invaded the Reserva- tion confident of an easy victory. The Indians had not been in training so long as the visitors because of adherence to the association regulation. The game was played on a very muddy field, and it developed into a game of chance. During the first quarter, Boyd of Howard Payne crossed the Indian goal line for the only touchdown scored against the Redskins during the entire season. McMurry played a punting game during the first half and resorted to aerial attacks in the last half. The strength of Medleyis line was tested and found to be sufficient to prevent any gain through it. Several times the Indians were in scoring distance, but were never able to gain the last ten muddy yards. No apology is necessary for this game or for its result. It was a game that demonstrated the power of the local team. Mitchell and Patterson played real foot- ball. Park played an outstanding game at end, and Hunt played a stellar defensive game.

Mitchell blocked a Bison punt, and West grabbed the pigskin and carried mit across the goal line. The well known passing combina- tion, Pool to Park, was responsible for the second touchdown. From the very first, it was lVIclVlurry's game, but plenty of fight was neces- sary to hold the lead. In the matter of gains through the line the game was about even, but the Indians excelled in end runs and used off tackle plays with equal success. The Indian line held the plunging Buffs in many instances. During the game three Buffalo passes were intercepted, and the Brayes made one of their outstanding gains by the aerial route. A feature of the game was the frequent occurence of Tharp,s gallopin ex- peditions around end for a first down. Every man who played in the lVlclVlurry line deserves special mention.

The Canyon team had been defeated by the champion Hill Billies by only three points. The old dope bucket registered the Indians as the equal of any team in the association. A large number of students accompanied the squad to Canyon. It was fully demonstrated that lVIclVIurry had a football team in the fullest sense of the word. The student body realized that fact, and the campaign toward the championship became the interest of the entire school. The Canyon game was one of the most significant of the season. It was the first conference gameg it was the first game played on a foreign gridirong it was the Victory that put punch into the Braves to fight for the end toward which they had started. H. V.

The Medleymen were superior in passing, kicking, plunging, and every other branch of the game. Incidentally, the Plowboys were also outclassed in the matter of scoring. The game was not necessarily one sided, however, as several times the Plowboys were in scoring distance. Whenever there was a possibility, the Indian line held as it always did throughout the season. The game was hotly contested during the first half, and much of the play- ing was in lVIcMurry territory. The tables were turned in the last half. The Indians succeeded in completing three out of five passes attempted during the game. The Plowhoys were unsuccessful in six attempts to advance by the aerial route. Nine times did the Indians carry the ball for a first down, and only twice did the Plow- boys make the required yardage. Coach Medley used his reserves a great deal in this game, and they made a fine showing. Hays did excellent work on defense. Owens and Hodges played good games in the backfield for MCMU1'Yy. BUCK Osuulm Rmvronn TAYLOR Tackle Tackle One Hundred Forty-one r l 1 - lVIclVIurry-O vs. Stephen F. Austin-0 The biggest set back of the Wa1'riors during the season was the scoreless tie against the Stephen F. Austin Teachers' College Lumberjacks. The game was played at Nacogdoches, and the warm weather was too much for the Indian Braves who were accustomed to the cool breezes of West Texas. The powerful Indians were not able to get the passing machine into action to any advantage. The Indians came within inches of the goal line, but the necessary punch was always lacking at the critical moment. It was evident that the lVIclVIurry team was by far the better team. In the matter of first downs, the Indians came out of thc game in the lead. During the first half the Braves made five first downs as com- pared to one by the Lumberjacks. No serious threats to score were made by the Teachers, but many times the Indians approached the enemy goal. Osborne, lVIcCandless and Miller played excellent line games. The line pre- vented the opponents from scoring and saved the day even if the Indian machine could not score. ALTON ROBERTS TOM HAYES End End '?2'7W'z'-lv'-T',g5' One Hundred Forty-two MCMUBRY45 VS. N. T. s. T. C.-0 Probably the outstanding disappointment of the Eagle-Indian fracus came, not to the Eagles, but to a mob of scouts who sat in the grandstands expecting to. see what the Indians could do. Medley did not have the least desire to run up the score. As a matter of fact, he took a man from the game because he was too desirous of another touchdown. Coach Medley started the second team, but they played the game in good fashion and represented lVlclVlurry very successfully. This team played a brand of football, little if any inferior to that of the regulars. The success of the season was due in a large measure to this fighting squad'of reserve material. They were able to defeat the best team that the opponents could place on the field. Practically all of the gains of the locals came by plunges and end runs. Pat- terson and West carried the oval for touchdowns and Miller rushed the Eagles to score a safety. '.

Continuedj Although a fine brand of football was displayed, the strongest Indian plays were withheld because they were not needed, and because they would be safe for the Billie clash. From the time that Hodges circled right end for seventeen yards on the first play of the game until the final whistle, it was lVlcMurry,s game. The visitors at- tempted numerous passes and succeeded in gaining forty yards in that manner dur- ing the course of the game. On the second play of the game, Henshaw circled left end for twenty-seven yards. The gains were consistent with Hays and others taking the Eagles out and clearing the way for the papoose backs. This game demonstrated the fact that lVlclVlurry's team could play by team work. During the encounter, four men directed the play at various times. Medley gave all of his regular squad a chance and every man played a satisfactory game. Henshaw, Hale, and Pool were outstanding in the hackfield for the Redskins.

MCMURRY-0 vs. DANIEL BAKER-0 The traditional athletic foe of lVlclVlurry is Daniel Baker College. When this game occurred, it was homecoming day on the Reservation. The Hill Billies had won the championship the previous season and lVledley's Tribe was now their chief obstacle. The spirit of fan, and of Warrior was never more manifest than on the eve of this conflict. The Indians took the field, fully aware of the fact that it was the battle of the season. The game was hard fought from the very beginning. The most spec- tacular thing about it was the fight of the Maroon and White line. Four clowns in which to carry the ball five yards to victory was the opportunity of the Billies. There was only one reason why they could not make it. That reason was the fight- ing line of the Braves. lnstead of four gains. four downs brought four failures and left lVlclVlur1'y College at the top of the list. The 'visitors had a decided advantage in weight and it seemed that their pass- ing machine was working somewhat better than the Indians' aerial attack. All the DTICKY Poor.

The total yardage gained by the Braves exceeded that of the Billies, but the visitors led in first downs. The Billies were truly a formidable aggregation and the Indians played four quarters of real football. It was the outstanding success of the year, even though it was in result, a scoreless tie.

T. c.-0 The Turkey Day game at Commerce against the Lions of East Texas Teachers College closed the season for the Medleymen with victory and gave them the undis- puted title to the championship. A glorious season was finished in a glorious man- ner. The score gradually went to 40 through a series of counters evenly distributed throughout the game. Probably the most spectacular score was Miller's touchdown after Edwards had blocked. Practically all of the gains were made on straight foot- ball. The cool manner in which Pool ran the team gained for him a place on the second T. I. A. A. team. Osburn played a fighting game at tackle. The Redskins smashed, plunged, and battered their way to victory. The Commerce team was not necessarily weak and several times they threatened when it was least expected. They held the Indians scoreless during the last quarter.

The work of Osburn and Mc- Candless was approached by the work of reserves, such as Taylor and Bowers. This game completed the story of MclVIurry,s advance from the lowest rank to the championship of the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association in the space of one season. It was the first title ever brought to Abilene and the first cham- pionship for MclVlurry. The game at Commerce was a very appropriate way to end the season. All the year the fighting Braves had warded off defeat but had made no impressive scores. That game showed the possibilities of the Tribe. McMurry was pleased to welcome home the squad that annexed the final game, and brought with them the much coveted championship. AUSTIN Nr,WroN Rfxmxomn Hucruis Em!

To every man who gave his best is due fully as much honor as that bestowed upon any regular Indian gridster. This group not only acted as uknock-downsi' for the regulars and endured that punishment faithfully, but played games against many high school teams. They were successful in winning practically without exception. Many Papooses played good football and with the year of experience will no doubt, make any man hustle to keep them off the regular squad next season. W. C.

It seemed that the Indian Warriors were doped to lose by whatever score the Hill Billies should decide upon. However, early in the game the Daniel Baker aggregation found themselves on the small end of a 10-3 score. The Medleymen rushed the visitors off their feet in the opening minutes, and Ledbetter ran wild to ring up counters from every angle and position, scoring a total of 12 points in the first period. At the end of the half the score was tied 16-16. During the second half there was never much difference in the score and it was not until the final whistle blew that the Hill Billies realized that the Indians were the better team. The second game proved equally as interesting. Eight points were scored by the MclVIurry team and fourteen minutes of play had elapsed before the visiting team managed to score. It seemed that the lanky Park had set himself to smother out the brilliance of the Billie Captain, and he was successful in that he scored only three points during the entire game. The half ended 11-6 for the Warrio1's. During the second half the visitors managed to get to one point of the Indians. However, West was put out on fouls, and Taylor came to the rescue with a field goal and a free shot to put the game out of danger. The Hill Billies left the lVIclVIurry reservation with the small end of the score in both games. C..Lxn..

A. A. games of the season for the Indians. The visit- ing team surprised the Indians and local fans by taking the first game of the series. The Indian Warriors seemed to be just a little out of form and lacked the necessary accuracy to find the goal. The game was poorly played and found the Indians trailing the score by one to five points most of the time. Park succeeded in mark- ing up two points by a long shot from the side and put the Warriors ahead for Il brief period. However, the half found the Indians one point behind and the game ended with a score of 25-19. In the first three quarters of the second game it seemed that the visitors were going to repeat the performance of the night before. Hale of lVIclVIurry started the counting and was followed by Park. W'est succeeded in finding the basket and gave the local team a score of 4-0. The Bobcats, however, by virtue of several donations managed to bring their end of the score up, and the half ended with the Indians trailing the score of 17-12. In the last ten minutes of the second half the Warrio1's rallied and the game ended with the Indians leading the score of 29-32.

And again the McMurry Warriors were doped to lose. As West, Taylor, Tharp, Hughes, and Park took the 'floor to defend the Maroon and White they faced what was considered one of the strongest teams of their entire schedule. ln this contest the Indian machine was working near perfection and the tribe played the smoothest ball it had ever demonstrated on the local floor. They succeeded in gaining a lead early in the contest and maintained a safe margin throughout the contest. With Park and Hughes, and later, Hale, doing such an efficient job of guarding, the Yellow Jackets were smothered in the first half and were completely covered up in the latter period, making a lone two points after the first half. Only three field goals were scored by the visitors during the entire game. Early in the first half of the second game of the series, the Yellow Jackets lost all hopes as the Indian Warriors smothered them out completely. This contest proved to be one of the slowest exhibitions given on the local floor during the entire season. Taylor and West were the high point men of the McMurry delegation with only one point separating them. The game ended with Howard Payne on the small end of a 412-14 score. CLARENCE LEDBETTFR HERBERT Wlcsr Forward Forward Une Hundred Fifty-four MclVIurry 241+-20 vs. Tech 27-24 When the Indians took their places on the floor opposing the Texas Tech Matadors in the fourth series of the season they found themselves facing a superior team. Both contests of the series, however, were clean cut, hard earned victories for the visitors, each having been won in the last period of the game. ln the first game of the series Hughes kept the galleries on their feet with his flashy dribbling, but his shots were inaccurate. The Matadors started the scoring but were soon followed by the Warriors. Super-marksmanship on the part of Tech put the visitors on the desirable end of a 15-8 count for the half. The second half opened by a field goal from West and a free pitch from Hale. Taylor then counted the fifth mark since the intermission. Then another long shot from Taylor tied the count. Tech then put in its strongest line-up and succeeded in ending the game on the big end of a 27-24 score. The second game was very rnuch as the first. It was most interesting from the beginning and not until the last gun was fired was it assured that the Matadors had won the game. Taylor led the scoring with a total of 25 points for the two nights.

On this trip they dropped two games to Canyon and two to Texas Tech. The last game with the Matadors was very close and was won the last few minutes of play. After the trip to Canyon and Lubbock they returned to the reservation for a few days rest before leaving on their East Texas tour. It seemed that the Indians were unable to get their machine working as it had in the first games of the season, and were therefore unable to pile up enough counters to win over the East Texas teams.

BASEBALL 1928, When the spring came and the lndian Cagers hung up their suits, the athletic attention turned to baseball. The locals not only had a vast amount of new material, but the destiny of the season's results was in the hands of a new coach. Clyde Pratt, a West Texas product and a former star of the University of Texas nine, had full charge of this great American sport. Pratt served as assistant coach of football and contributed in no small measure to the winning oi the honors. He has developed the best baseball nine in McMurry's history. The Indians hold the distinction of being the only college baseball team in the city since the other two schools have dropped it from their athletic program. E. B. WHARTON Howfmo lllILLER Catcher Catcher r-, lvl One Hundred Fifty-eight BASEBALL 1928 The schedule is only beginning as the Totem goes to press. It is not possible to enumerate the victories of the season, but it can be said with certainty that the Pratt aggregation is a real base- ball club and will play any team in the conference a game that will solicit its best efforts. The first portion of the non-official season has been highly successful. The chief opposition has been the aspiring members of the new West Texas League, and the Indians have been victorious. The prospects were somewhat encouraging because of the return of Owen Cox who plays first base to a rare degree of perfec- tion. Cox is capable of favorable comparison with any first sacker WALTlull MCCANDLESS WILLIAM BULL Pifclwl' Pizchgr One Hundred Fifty-nine BASEBALL 1928 in this section of the country. Beeler Brown, regular first base- man of last year's team, is out of school, but Cox fills the position and fills it well. Park, who received an injury late in the cage season is getting in condition to hold down the initial corner if necessity demands. Hodges has been used at short stop alternating with Henshaw. Mc- Combs, who formerly held down the short stop position, is now playing at second. Poole has played a consistent game at third. He is a product of Abilene High School and comes to the Indians with an enviable high school record. CLARENCE Lsnnmran Joi: McCo1vms Outfield Second Base One Hundred Sixty BASEBALL 1928 Wh8l't0H and Miller are working hehind the bat and there is no weakness there. The chief handicap of previous years has been a lack of hurlers. Every year the good Indian mound men have been relatively few. The pitchers have not necessarily been poor, but two, or even three, men cannot win an entire season. This seas0n's mound corps has the appearance of a great improve- ment. Bell is showing some good mound work. He pitched the Tarleton Plowboys several victories last season. Talbot, from the famous McKinney team is another promising hurler. The veteran McCandless is also on the staff, and West can be used for relief work as he has functioned in that role during several seasons. l'lIiRBIiRT WEST H. V. Honcx-:s Outfield Short One Hundred Sixty one BASEBALL 1928 The outer-garden suffers not for the want of aspirants. West, Mitchell, Ledbetter, and Bowers are lettermen seeking to add another stripe this year. Smedley and Vaughn have made threats at obtaining regular berths on the royster. The heavy hitting is probably the best background for a prophecy of a successful seasonj In the camp are hitters who have hit the best pitchers in the T. I. A. A. There should be no doubt about the hitting. The problem that Pratt faced from the beginning was to develop an air-tight infield and establish a staff of hurlers to shut out the heavy hitting opponents. Only the first two games of the conference season have been played as this edition goes to press. Those two games composed SMEDLEY ORLO MITCHELL Field Outficlll One Hundred Sixty-two BASEBALL 1928 the opening series with the Hill Billie nine. Both games went to the Daniel Baker team by very small scores. The Indians' hits were scattered and, although they outnumbered the opponents' hits, were not of the effective use. The Billie raps came when hits meant runs that eventually meant victory. McMurry's first season in Texas Intercollegiate Baseball circles was far from a failure. When this season will have closed, we hope that it will be possible to say that the second season was a success in every respect. Medley's teams in football and basket- ball have climbed to the top ranks of the conference, and Pratt's slugging Indians bid fair to perch with their fellow gridsters on the top notch rung of the association ladder. h'lICKEY Pool.

I The Uther Side PREFACE Ladies, Gentlemen, Slimes, Faculty Members, and others not classified:-Lend me not your ears because they are too long-but lend me your eyes and your 'strict attention. There was a time in the history of the world when all things were perfect-that was before the time of women. Since they came into existence there has been two sides of life-the bad and worst. In some few instances there may be some few things which might be called the better side of life in that they are not as bad as some of the other things. In all other sections of this annual you find featured only the better side of college life, so to speak. Now we feel it our profound duty to represent every phase of college life, and for this reason we are running this section which is rightfully termed 'cThe Other Side. If there is found something in this section that is not altogether to your liking, we only ask that you forget it as soon as possible, or keep your likes and dislikes to yourself-for we have no use for them since it is too late to get them published and since they have no money value. As a matter of fact we are running on a strictly money basis and wish to charge nothingg neither do we wish to be charged, even with a few vain babblings of someone who knows not of what they are talking. If your name is not mentioned in this section, you can easily guess that in our estimation your college career has been a failure. If we publish no scandal on you, please do not 'get the idea that your college career has been perfect. Perhaps the scandal we know on you would not do for publication. You must also realize that our space is limited. We can only try to suppress those most need- ing suppression. Yours for a better day. One Hundred Sixty five The Judgment There has been all through the year an ever increasing demand for the publication of some of the scandal of the institution. There are certain things that every one should know and now that the school year is nearly passed they have never been revealed to the general public. In the years past the Yellow Journal exposed these truths. Even last year some of the general happenings of the campus were exposed, but this year the shieks of the institution have run wild, scandal has pervaded the campus and never has a word been mentioned about it in the other publications. Now it is going to be most difficult to publish everything that should be published, but we are going to do our best because we realize that public opinion is the greatest law of all time. The Great Judge that sits upon his throne is looking down upon the acts of each and every one of you. Perhaps you have gotten by with a few things and have lived the greater part of the school year in peace-but now the judgment has come and you must answer to your fellow men and to the Great Judge of the Imperial Court for your many deeds committed which you have tried -so hard to keep the general public from knowing. It is really hard for the Great Judge to pass a sentence on everyone that is severe enough for the crime, but He has promised to do His very best. Ar least the facts will be revealed to the people, and public opinion can demand more severe punishment if the crime prompts such action. ' The first sentence that the Great Judge wishes to publish here is that of the one good fellow-Pat Henry of Slaton. Mr. Henry is to be hanged to the highest tree in the Universe and left to-. Now if he had edited this section as he promised to do the Judge would never have passed this sentence upon him. The moral lesson here is to profit by the experience of other-s. There are so many cases that are forced upon the Great Judge this year that we can hardly publish all of them and yet we hesitate to leave any out because we wish this section to be democratic. Several people have made application for space in this section but One Hundred Sixty-six THE JUDGMENT fContinuedl have been flatly refused because we do not wish this to be an advertising section, but rather one in which justice is dealt out to every one without personal feeling. For instance Miss Lucille Gist has made application several times for mention here but we cannot give much space to her. Mr. Gordon Webb has also -made application and we are giving him space because of the fact that he edits the Vlfar Whoop and cannot receive the publicity in that journal that he rightfully deserves. You will find him listed under the LLWOIDHD Hater's Club. The Great Judge has refused to pass judgment on such characters as just mentioned. The next case before the Imperial Court is the case in which the College Favorite is the outstanding figure. The charge against this beautiful maiden is MBetrayal of Trust. When this fair damsel was allowed to see the pictures of the other favorites, a trust was placed in her that should never have been betrayed. However, the witnesses in the case revealed the fact that she had hardly left the office of the Totem until these treasured secrets were revealed. The lightest penalty that the Great Judge would even consider was that the Young, Beautiful, and Popular maiden be burned at stake. Miss La Faye Fleetwood is now summoned before the Court. This bold lady hails from Breckenridge and seems to be a typical specimen of that part of the world. The charge against her is that of trifling with the affections of the one said person-Raymond Hughes from Montezuma, New Mexico. Now this young gentleman is a very good fellow and has public opinion on his side. Here of late we see him strolling around all alone as if in a dream. A shadow has been Cast across his life and Miss Fleetwood seems to be the responsible party. At least the jury in the Imperial Court has found her guilty, and the sentence of the Great Judge is that she shall be banished from society forever. The outcast from Stamford-Pete Owens-has so many charges against him before the Court that it is impossible to mention all of them here. Some of the minor ones are: drunkenness, dancing, attending wild parties, playing cards, and gambling. For all of these crimes he would receive a -suspended sentence in the ordinary court of the clay, but in this Court he is not so fortunate. For one crime he has been sentenced for ninety-nine years on the rock pile. For another he has been sentenced to be hanged. For another the One Hundred Sixty seven THE JUDGMENT IfContinuedl electric chair is calling him. Because of the fact that he has found it impossible to fulfill all of these sentences it has finally been decided that he be left to die on the sands of the desert. It might be of interest to the general public to know the details of the case brought before the Court at the beginning of the year in which Stuart Hamblen was charged with violation of the laws of society. At the first visit of the one said person, the lVlcMurry Campus was charged with having the appearance of a factory. Now it is a factory in some cases in which it takes raw material, or fresh material, as in the case of Mr. Hamblen, and sometimes succeeds in making something out of them. However, there are oftentimes so many flaws in the raw material that it is impossible to succeed to a very great extent. The Court found Mr. Hamblen to possess the following defects: Vain, egotistical, proud of himself, possessed with the idea that he has a way with the ladies, and in general '4He1'e I am, one look for fifty cents. After a short deliberation the Judge pronounced him insane and dismissed the charge. The details of this case which I am about to relate will not be interesting to you. As a matter of fact the person against whom the charge is brought is not important enough on the lVlclVlurry campus to merit attention, although it is true that at the beginning of the year he was fortunate enough to persuade such beautiful maidens as Irene Addison and Pauline Kendrix to accept a few dates with him. It is also true that in his own mind he is the outstand- ing debater of the institution as evidenced by the fact that his home town paper was informed of the fact soon after the tryouts. The charge which John J. Watts had to answer in the Imperial Court was that of Misrepresentation of Facts. This case became very hot in the discussion between the opposing factions, but finally after all arguments were produced on both sides and all facts were brought to light, the Great Judge pronounced him guilty. Because of his youthful appearance it was decided that public opinion would punish him sufficiently by refusing association with him, so the charge was dismissed. Morris Hodges, as we all know, is president of the Senior Class and should be the shining example for the school. He should, by all that is right, refuse association with the freshmen of the institu- One Hundred Sixty-eight THE JUDGMENT tContinuedJ tion and in general, conduct himself in a manner that is becoming of his dignity. However, it is a known fact that he is often seen in the company of many freshmen and especially a certain freshman girl who is yet young and knows not the ways of the world. lt seems that he has succeeded in convincing. this young girl that love is the dynamic force of the universe. He has played upon her imagination and pictured to her a Utopian country far beyond the starry skies where all troubles fade into oblivion and happiness reigns supreme. When this case was brought before the Court of Eternal Judgment the Great Judge wrinkled his forehead and gave a s'gh of resentment. To the gallows with himf' he cried. 'clVlay the eternal fires of the world beneath inflict upon him everlasting torment. And the girl-Sallye Bean, may she profit by experience. There is a certain freshman of the institution that has con- tinually been a menace to society since he landed on the reservation last September. He is a careless fellowj, thinking not of the effect of his vain babblings, especially upon the weaker sex. At the be- ginning ofthe school year he was exempted from many meat fryings, given in honor of the freshmen, by virtue of the fact that he was the room-mate of Clyde Park. .This seemed to create within his being the wrong attitude toward the institution and his fellow citizens as well. When introduced into the Imperial Court Vlfallace Slime Bingham was charged with everything conceivable that is dis- reputable and degrading. The jury in this case was a typical present day jury and found him innocent. The Judge frowned his disapproval upon them and immediately left the Court room. And thus the Court was dismissed until the following year. Now if there is anything in this copy of the Court proceedings that is misrepresented or in any way has the disapproval of any one, we will be glad to change them, making all corrections with the presentation of a petition signed by five thousand persons hold- ing public office in Taylor County and a sum of three thousand dollars. If you are unable to get your petition signed or are unable to raise the necessary money, please do not bother us with your wrath. Our parting word is that may each and every one of you have a most unhappy life and live in torment continually. - K One Hundred Sixty nine SENIOR X , SEPT. wemum 15 F A I R D A Y RAIN y If A.,, 'X f 1, ,ff ' A K Xf!

NO DATES No. Uncertain I-Iawkshaw Made Famous Our highly esteemed night watchman was made famous by his daring attack upon the outlaws of the campus. Time after time lVlatt Hayes and fair Beulah have been hotly pursued by the ever faithful Hawkshaw. One night the climax was reached when he accidently found them in the back end of a truck. This will be long remembered because at this time he grasped the lower extremities of the fair damsel mistaking them for a sack of flour. iT O..,ii. Advice For Everyone When in doubt mind your own busi- ness. Talk happiness-the world is sad enough without your woes. Eat, drink and be careful. If you ever need a friend come to me and l will tell you where to go. H. H. Forgive your enemies if they are bigger than you. Be sure the nightwatchman is gone- then go ahead. One Hundred Seven ty-two Bailey Hall Raided This raid was unsuccessful because there was nothing found except two cases of beer and fourteen decks of cards. Several pictures of famous women were taken from various rooms, the majority of which were found in the room of Hale and Roberts. 1 O....tm- Our Motto Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if St. Peter wonit have us, Satan must. i.

Niagara Falls was stopped on the account of labor trouble. THE B DgAlgLY iM i Neckers Club Most Successful In Years-Has Many Members This club started at the beginning of the year with only a few members. How- ever, many have been added to its rank during the school year. Many applicants have been refused membership because of the strict requirements. . To become a member of this club one must have had two years of experience, and can be neither married nor engaged. Many were refused membership on this count. It is also necessary to have had one course in Modern Methods and to have an average of B. Al-so one belong- ing to this club cannot center their atten- tion on one person. The President was almost expelled on this count. Long endurance and steady nerves are also necessary. The most successful members are always alert and can hear the foot- steps of the venerable Hawkshaw many paces away. The officers are as follows: President, Papa Freeman, Secretary, Ada Mary Tharpg Vice4President, Beulah Tracyg First Critic, Marvin Boydg Second Critic, Doolie Hale, Sponsor, Mrs. Gageg ln- structor, Mrs. Parkerg and Demonstrator, Mrs. Tracy. With this group of efficient workers, the club has prospered much. l 0 -l Your mouth is open. Yes, l opened it. . ,l01.T...-.

Since he was in a strange town, he hesitated for a few minutes not knowing what to do. As the sounds grew more weird, he became active, unusually active. Suddenly there came a series of loud, piercing shrieks and screams, as if torn from the very heart of a tortured human being. lVIr. Roberts was becoming very excited, when an elderly lady rushed up and exclaimed, Oh lVIr. Roberts! My poor daughter is locked up in the bath room and is unable to get outf' Mr. Roberts rushed to the door-gave one hard tackle-and behold a young lady of three years rushed into her motheris arms. lVI1'. Roberts lives at Ovalo and is a very popular young man in that community. We are very proud of our hero. i TO .i.-1 FOUND AND REFOUND A letter from some unknown person addressed to Asalie Key was found somewhere-the exact place unknown-the time it was found was not marked on the calendar so all we can say is that we have the letter. Contents are coming up- Iust around the corner from some place-I don't know the date as I left my watch at home and having just looked-I see I haven't time to go and get it. To the most high-powered wrinkle in my entire vocabulary- Little girl, I bring you greetings, Salutations, and Wishes of the rarest of beauty and integrity from my own little self to thee. I was just wishing that I knew where the long, long trail finally leads a fellow to when you come to the end of it, and it happens to occur to me that perhaps you could portion me out some information on the topic. I might come up to see you next summer in my aeroplane but the sandstorms are so bad out there, I fear it would stick in a sand bed in mid-air. Mr. Darden is coming so I will have to leave you for a while-- Come again some time. Yours until the moon shines, HOT SHOT. One Hundred Seventy I1 e The Woman Hateris Club Soon after September, 1924, there began on this campus an organization known as the Woman Hater's Club. The once noted person-Mr. Ralph Steen-was the leader of this organization. He was assisted by such staunch characters as V. O. Key Jr., Gerald Collinsworth, and many others who were seen continually in the presence of some fair damsel of the institution. As a matter of fact this organization became so popular with the co-eds that after a few months the name became a farce. This club was truely made up of woman haters., but as once expressed by the famous Steen-they surely loved the girls. To become a member of this organization it is necessary to be fickle, absent minded, and very insincere. One must also have a wonderful vocabulary so that they may express their love to every fair co-ed that comes their way. None have been expelled on this requirement. This club has a list of very efficient officers. Mr. Collinsworth is President of the organization. He is a successor to Marvin Boyd who withdrew for religious reasons and other reasons not stated. Mr. Howard Bell assists the President in handling the affairs of the organization. lVlr. l. A. Martin is Sergeant-at-Arms and his duties are generally very light. Other members of the organization are: Anthony Hunt, Edgar Irvine, Pat Patterson, T. J. Turner, Gordon Webb, and Bernice Young.
