Hunt, tl. D. The President’s Message McMt'RRY College has rounded oul llu Sixth Year of its work since opening its doors in 1923. More than six! young people have received the usual aen leniie degrees from the institution and have gone out into various fields of activity, or to some higher institution of learning. All of these have made records of which the College is proud. This year’s graduating clas . will In almost ns large as all the former classes combined, and we believe no finer group of young people has ever gone out from the College. To those going from us we extend deep and earnest wishes of the entire Faculty for useful places in society, and a prayer that the; may render faithful and efficient service. The College will watch your careers with the interest of a mother following the life and work of her children. To the Undergraduates of the institution the President wishes to express a deep and abiding purpose to render in the coining years a greater service to those who come within the College Halls. I he plans now being carried out throughout the hounds of the Northwest Texas Conference for Endowment and added equipment give a guarantee of perpetuity and larger service such ns the Institu- tion has not heretofore had. The same ideals that have character- ized the College from its inception prevail. The President extends his personal greetings to each and every one of you. Sincerely, J. W. HUNT, President. Nlnrtm Scholarship is a necessary prerequisite to the success of any College. The rapid advancement of our school from u little Junior College to a recognized Senior College of the fir t rank has been very largely due to the efforts of the Dean of the Institution. A rating with the | est in the Southwest is the result of his diligent and careful direction. His duties have been many and varied, hut he is to Iw commended by the Student Body for his fairness and sin- cerity. He serves us well as educator, judge of our troubles, officer of discipline, and general administrator. Df.an Boyd M. McKeown, M. A. Dean of the College ami Head of the education Dejtarlmenl. Finance is the preatest problem of the Church in iIip promotion of its work and its institutions. Only capable and honest manage men! can assure success. The salvation of McMl RRY College has l een the financial policy of its Secretarv-Treasurer. This man has the interests that he represents at heart, and skillfully directs the expenditures in a sensible way. The student body has no better friend and helpful advisor. Robert B. Wylie. M. A. Srrrrtnr v -7’ rra.su rer Twenty-one S. S. BOLT WELL M. A. Dean of Men Education MRS. S. C. GAGE Dean of W omen The purpose of the respective Deans of the College is to pro- mote the principles of Christianity in the conduct of the Facultv and Student Body. The rules and regulations have lieen formulated with this aim in view. The method is not to attempt to compel, hut rather to create a desire for right living and proper conduct. The conditions in school are very representative of life out in the world. To our Dean of Men and to our Dean of Women goes the credit for upholding the standards of respect for others and the cultivation of helpful and enjoyable rules of self-government. Honor is given the precedent over all set regulations, hut the laws of God and man are never ignored. Twrnt)r-twi Class Presidents The atmosphere of our campus has always been one of democracy and equality. There is no element of superiority or inferiority among the students. The onI distinction i the classification into the various classes according to the amount of seholastie work that has been completed. There exists a great amount of class pride, even on the part of the Freshmen. The officers of each of the four classes deserve a great amount of the credit for the fine Class Spirit that is to he found in every one of the College Classes. Our hope is that these classes may always remain as a unit when the part ways and go into their respective stations of life. The presidents of the various classes for this year have been very active and have ha l no small part in the administration of the affairs that come under their jurisdiction. Gkkai.d V.

The organizations are repre- sentative of religion, music, art.-, dramatics, speech, school spirit, journalism, scholar- ship. study, and social activity. These various group- provide training in practically every field of activity. It is a fact that as much training may In gained from active memltership in school organizations as may In acquired in the class room. The students who are leader- in these activities are to Ik commended just as heartily as the leaders in the matter of grade making. Organizations combine to make the practical side of College life. The ultimate value of organizations cannot Ik estimated. The presidents of these active groups are to he congratulated for their success and the place of their respective groups in the life of the campus.

The officers are elected once each year by popular vote of all students in good standing. It is the student governing body and has power to regulate all student activities. The council has a representative from each of the College Classes, in addition to the regular elected officials of the Association. A system of student government should he much more satisfactory than a strict faculty government. The association en- courages all forms of legitimate activity. They also care for the social life of the school by fostering such functions a the annual Football Banquet and a Reception at the beginning of each year.

OTIS WALLS Abii.enk CARL WEST Olnev OS ID W Sl.l.s Abilene Sixty-six Ilie f i-li for thii year have been a very brave crowd. The procedure ami discus- sions of their class sessions have l een kept in the minds of the brave members. I pon investigation, however, it has been revealed that the bravery of the class is due to a very few of their number rather than to the majority. The following true story will explain the fear and lack of intestinal fortitude that has been dominant even in this most daring part of the class. We sincerely hope that they will do l etter next year and he better Sophomores than they have been Freshmen. FOUR FRESH FISH “Slihhh! Don’t wake anyone up in Hunt Hall,” whispered a young lady who was old enough to know better. “Here, let me help carry the ladder! We want to get this flag up so high that the Dean can’t take it down.” The shadowy foursome skirted the light that lit up the car-stop ami made their way toward tin lofty flag pole. Everyone looked carefully about for the night watchman, but he was nowhere to be seen. At the first pull of the rope, the pulley at the top gradually began to creak and continued until the insects in the vicinity were all aroused. The young slime I male l who was holding the rope looked carefully and fearfully about him and the three others in the party did the . ante. As the emblem of the lowly and motley slimes cl'mbed the pole at the urging of a member of that class, one of the girl re- marked. “Won’t the Dean be tickled to death? I II bet he just raves.” Another of the party (male also I gave the ladder a boost up against the pole and the screech'ng was made louder by this elevating act. Surely that woke someone up. but nobody seemed to pay the slightest attention. This occasion was the only time during the year that one of the parlies envoived (femaleI has not been a candidate for attention. After much toil and what seemed like a boiler factory noise, the ladder was hoisted to a point where it could bo ascended to tie the rope beyond the reach of a person on the ground or the Dean on a short ladder. About the time the most venturesome of the boys reached the top of the ladder one of the girls whispered excitedly, “Here comes Hawk-.-haw across the campus. The ladder swayed backward and a scramble was heard at the lop. “Hey. hold that ladder!” came from the heights above. The girls turned and started to set a new record for the dash. The slime at the top of the pole felt a desire to do the same, but even his l’mited knowledge told him that it was not possible just at that particular time. “Aw. that’s not llawkshaw! It's one of those dead mesi]uile with its head cut off.” whispered the other boy in a relieved tone. “Boy, I thought I was a goner that lime,” remarked one of the sweet young things. Sixty- vc-n FOUR FRKSH KISH «Continued “You didn't think it half as strong as I did.” answered the bravado from the ladder top. If you had felt that ladder sway hark with you as I felt it sway hark with me. you would fall to your fare and reverently say your prayers.” “Aw, come on and let’s get away from here before somebody doe come along.” interrupted his fellow henchman. “Here comes a car!” All four of the aggregation fell to the ground and remained in a silent mood, scarcely taking it upon themselves to perform the art of breathing. The car swept around the oval casting its searching rays of light upon the criminals. One of tin- girls started to get up and run. hut her intention was thwarted by a fish who was capable of having a thought. “Lie still! They didn’t see us. Tin- car passed on and the lowly slimes cast curious glances at each other, but none of them registered any impression of what it was all about. The culprits started across the campus with the long ladder across their shoulders. It was a mile to where the car was parked. At lust the car was reached and the mounting instrument wax fastened to the appendage on the auto. “Ut's give it to Simmons.” “No. let’s give it to the colony.” “I’ll tell you what to do with this ladder. I-el’s dump it in Kim Creek.” “No. let’s don't destroy it.” chorused the others. “Let’s lump it somewhere.” The car was started. The roar of another motor just around the corner drowned out the hum of the slimes lemon seed. The driver (female) let out a gasp and swung her car around instantly. They were caught! No. tin other car was going on! Two hours they searched for a place sufficiently out of the way to serve as the last resting place of the ladder. They eventually dumped it. “Well, it is over! Thank goodness, tin- upperclassmen can not say that the slimes are nerveless.” What would the Dean say? Little they cared until about nine o'clock (lie follow- ing morning. The second morning following saw tin- little red flannels rippling from the top of the flag pole in memory of a brave and daring portion of the student body the slimes. Long may that banner wave and may many an eve dance to see its graceful folds in the path of the sandstorms of this region. This article is published to honor the bravery of those who dared to step out from the crowd and to serve as a warning to all future generations. It also make false the claims of various Sophomores that they themselves were responsible for hoisting the flag that the slimes were allowed to lower.

FINE ARTS T II E T K E B I. E C I - E F All voice students, together with the member of both the Male (Quartet ami the Women’s Quartet and the personnel of the octet, make up the membership of the Treble Clef. 'I his year has been one of profit to each member of the organization. Semi-monthly meetings have been held to make a study of the great operas ami of voice production. Mrs. Gypsy Ted Sullivan W ylie, head of the Fine Arts Depart- ment. ha led in these studies. The officers of the Treble Clef for this year are: Hubert Hell, president: Hclmont Hislmp. vice president: Heulah Tracy, secretary-treasurer, and Grad) Morton re- porter. The organization has taken its place as one of the leading ones of the eollege under the leadership of these officers and Mrs. Wylie. Informal receptions have been sponsored by the Treble Clef for visiting artists of the year. In this way, members of the organization have been brought into contact with persons who have already attained places of honor in their respective fields. The outstanding feature of the year for Treble Clef mernl ers was the trip to Dallas to sec and hear the performance of Faust and Lohengrin a presented by the Chicago Civic Opera Company. Plans are already Iwing formulated lor a similar trip next year as well as an active program along other lines. Addison, Baldridge. Bean, Bell. Bell, Bishop. Brookreson. Brooks. Browder, Davenport.

Eichtjr-two MEN’S GLEE CLUB The Men’s Glee Club has always been one of the most aetive of the musical or- ganizations on the campus. The men have worked faithfully this year and have adopter! a very strict set of rules and regulations concerning attendance and the meet- ing of other requirements. The members secure their place by making a creditable showing in the annual try- out which is held soon after the opening of the fall semester each year. This ears. organization has been one of the best in the school’s history. The balance has been very good and the entire membership has worked in a wn that is absolutely necessary before such work can be a success. The club is directed by Mrs. Wylie. Dean of the Department of Fine Arts. The work for the year has consisted in novelty programs, assembly programs, ami work in the opera that was presented by the Department of Fine Arts. An entire evening program was given by the Glee (dub on April 22. The entire group makes road trips from time to time as a means of reward for their labors and also to advertise the school. Wherever they have gone, their programs have been well received. Top Row—Howard Bell, baritone; Hubert Bell, first tenor; Belmont Bishop, baritone; Marvin Boyd, second tenor.

Effbtr-thrN TUE CHORAL CLUB This has hern a very successful season for the Choral Club. They have sham! glory with the Glee Club ami the members of the Treble Clef in the presentation of the big programs of the year. They have presented standard works which are known for their high quality. In addition to these presentations, they have appeared in sev- eral individual programs all of which were favorably received by the public. Their appearing before the assembly was a bright spot in tin daily grind of programs. It is an honor to l elong to this organization and the work gives each of the members a broadening and refining influence.

Miss Dorothy Berk, and at present Miss Lois R. Boli. head of the Speech Arts Department. The major production of the year was “Seven Chances” by Roi Cooper Mcgrue. This play was presented in the college auditorium on the evening of December 21. It was the first production of the year which attracted widespread interest and atten- tion. The play production class has been of great l eiiefit to the club in the direction of plays and in stage arrangement. Members of the Dramatic Club have assisted in the presentation of several one- act plays, such as “Wrong .Numbers' and “Nowhere But In America.” “Mansions’ was the one-act play chosen to represent McMurry in The Little Theatre Tournament at Lubbock. It was first presented in the local college auditorium to a large audience on March 23. In the tournament, the play won second place, and had in it the only perfect character at the tournament. The annual play for the commencement season is to be “Captain Applejack” by Walter Hackett Several one-act plays will also be presented during the closing months of the semester. Baii.ey. Barrow.

Ei hty-fiv« Me MURRY MALE QUARTET Since the opening of the door of McMurry College, the Male Quartet has been one of the most outstanding things about the institution. The quadrangular combina- tion of this year has been no exception to the rule. They have made many appearances and the audience always waits in anxious suspense for their part of the program. Their numbers are always received with pleasure and interest. Numerous week-end trips have l een made as well as several trips of longer dura- tion. Their services to the school eannot !«• estimated from the standpoint of publicity. The Quartet has been featured in the Chanters Frolie anti in the programs of the Glee Club. The boys are always in demand and many times the calls exceed the possi- bilities of fulfillment. Eugene Luker has served four years on the regular first quartet. Grady Morton is also finishing his career as a member of McMurry quartets. The other members of this quartet are Howard Bell anti Higdon Edwards. Ricdon Edwards. First Tenor. Grady Morton. Second Tenor. Howard Bell. Baritone. Eugene Luker. Hass rHE GIRLS’ QUARTET The Girls Quartet has a tradition to live up to. for the school has always had a sought-after group of entertainers in the Girls' Quartet. These young Indies have left a lasting impression wherever they have been and have made man friends for themselves and for the school. The reputation has not suffered any this year. No school could he dissatisfied with so line a group. They have made numerous appearances before luncheon clubs, churches, and various types of gatherings. When the administration wants an engagement filled well, the services of this group are sought and they are always ready to go. They are called upon more frequently than any other organization on the campus. Miss Mary Evelyn Brooks has served in the First Soprana place during the last semester due to the fact that Alice Bean Nowlin could not lie in school. Mrs. Eari. M. Nowun—First Soprano Marcarkt Jonhs Second Soprano Saijak Bkan—First Alto But la it Tracy Second Alto Eigluy-««ven THE OCT ET A new musical organization has made is debut this year and already is coming to l c one of the most popular groups on the reservation. In former years, it has been the custom of the school to have two male quartets and two girls’ quartets. This year, Mrs. Gypsy Ted Sullivan Wylie, director of the various units of musical nature, decided to form an octet to do a specific and different type of work. Their specialty has been novelty numbers and classical selections. They appear in costumes which make their programs a great deal more effective. This experiment has lx cn very successful and the octet should fill a very definite place in future years. The octet has been in demand at many different kinds of functions. The members of the group are due a rating equal with the members of the quartets. It should Ik? an honor to l c a member of this entertaining combination.

Editor Marvin Boyd . . Business Manager A school annual is the history of the life of the youth of our country during the most im- portant period of their being. We rincerely be- lieve that the year book is an essential part of college lifr. It is one of the la-ting elements that helps hold ull «if the students together ami keep in memory the days spent in our school. We have attempted to produce a book that will meet the approval of the students, because it is their l ook. Thi staff has been greatly handicapped due to the loss of the editor at the clo:e of the fir-t semester, but in the face of difficulty, we have done our best. The lunik ii not a perfect one. but we believe that it i- the result of our best efforts in | ortrnying the school life with the fumls that were available t us. We make no apology for it, but express our only regret that we were not able to give you even a better Imok. The staff alone know- just how much work has been necessary in the making of this Totem. If it is what the students want, we will be satisfied. Since we ure a tribe of Indian-, we have chosen for the theme of thi- book the History of the West Texas Indian. We have endeavored to picture the domestic ami cultural side f their lives rather than the savage and warlike elements. We have made several changes and variations from the Totems of pa-t years. We hope thut these change- will meet your approval. The entire work i our attempt at a production that ran be rolled worthy of our school und the -tudent body to which it behmg-.

Business Manager Contrary to the Relief of some vociferous self- mailr litterateurs, the college newspaper is not a contributing cause to the puerility of the American mind or the general degeneracy of the American press. In truth, it con be proven that the college organ is doing the exact opposite and is saving ungrateful posterity the trouble of rending countless galleys of copy which other- wise might have cml cllished adjoining columns t those bought by the vendors of Orgalonc. Tanlac. chewing gum, and other builders supplies. Hundreds, yes thousands, of embryo journalist- have whiffed initially the subtle aroma of printer’s ink on the staff of the college paper, and counter to the words of the proverb, have given up their dreams of immortalization in letters posthaste to become on graduation useful citizen-, taking their places selling shoes, preaching, or tending babies. Whether it was actually the smell of the ink or the yawning canyons of type that must be fill d each week between Monday and Wednesday is not known, hut the results are what count. Quod erat demonstrandum! The editor and business manager wish to thank the student-, the staff members, the faculty, and the advertisers for making jwissible the War Whoop the past year. Abo. we wish to especially thank Miss Julia E. I.uker, publications sponsor, for her interest, cooperation, and advice that have meant so much in the evolution of the War Whoop which in five years has grown from a five-column monthly to an eight-column weekly pu| or. ranking high in college journalistic circles.

During the first two years of il publication, it was under the joint super- vison of the staffs of The War Whoop and The Totem. In 1926, a separate staff was organized and the quarterly magazine became independent of the oilier publications. The Galleon contains the best short-stories, poems, reviews, and other literary compositions of the students. The magazine has had a constant growth since l beginning. The isucs for this year have been the best since the publication was started. The Students' Association has granted a portion of the activity fee to the Galleon and its future should In assured from a financial point of view. The rank- ing of this publication in the T. I. P.

Fifty Wall Wah Taysees arc gathered around, solemnly listening to our If motto. As they take the oath and promise to he loyal and true to the maroon and white, the Firefly is placed on their sleeves. As the embers burn low and then die away, the strains of the Alma Mater ring out on the evening breeze. Fifty Wah Wah Taysees leave the spot, ready to fight for the school and uphold all its activities. The scene Hits quickly from one event to another. This same group is all en- thusiastic over the trip to visit the Mill Billies, returning with the same good spirit, hearing all the way the cry of the young Fireflies as they flit about. Now comes the Informal Tea in the Milton Crystal Room. All the Fireflies are anxiously awaiting the formal presentation of their token of love and apprecia- tion to the sponsor. Miss “Chris”, but to prolong the anxiety, the officers. Caroline Couch. Asalie Key. and Sallye Bean are bringing back to their memories the sig- nificance of Wah Wah Taysee. The Totem Pole! Who will come work? Mallets, chisels, paints, hoes, rakes, sun rays, crossed arrows, and medicine man’s eye! What memories! Now for a look into the future with swastika and a forecast of the pleasure and good fellowship in the picnic for the Senior Pop Squad Girls of Abilene High School, and the final Farewell to the Seniors of the Wah Wah Taysees. Ninely-thrc« I) E B A T E This year was another year of debates and victories for McMurrv. Our teams carried on a schedule of eighteen debates. Only two teams of hoys and one of girls upheld the question for McMurrv. hut they were able to overcome a majority of their oponents. McMurry College has the distinction of being the smallest in the state that belongs to the National Council of Tau Kappa Alpha, in fact, McMurry is one of two schools in the state that have Iwen granted membership in this organization. From the standpoint of tours, this year has not been as successful as some of the past years, hut the record that our teams made this year is as good as any team has ever made for the school. The reason that a longer lour was not attempted was that arrangements for the schedule did not l egiii until October, because the forensic manager-elect did not return to school. The fir t trip that the debaters made this year was a short trip through Okla- homa and Texas with five debates on the schedule. Marvin Boyd and Benton Neely made this trip, and were successful in all except one debate which was an audience decision encounter at Oklahoma City. 1’his trip included North Texas State Teachers College of Denton, Austin College of Sherman. Oklahoma City I ni- versily of Oklahoma City, Southwestern Teachers College of Weatherford, Okla- homa, and West Texas State Teachers College of Canyon. The freshman team composed of Auburn Neely and Laurel Dunn made a trip to Brownwood to meet the team of Howard Payne College. This combination was also used in a number of the home debates. This year marked an almost entirely new feature for McMurry in that the girls were given a road trip. Clcta Faye Cook and Opal Johnson represented McMurry at North Texas State Teachers College and Trinity University. They won the debate at Denton and made a very fine showing at Trinity. Marvin Boyi Cleta Faye Cook Benton Neely Ninety four DEBATE-Continued The home season this year was the largest that McMurry has ever had. as there were ten debates in Abilene. The season at home was opened January 28, with the freshman boys defeating the team from Tech by a unanimous decision. On February 19. Marvin Boyd anil Benton Neely won from St. Kdwards University by a 2-1 verdict. On the morning of February 26 the homo team composed of Auburn Neely and Laurel Dunn met defeat at the hands of a strong team from Oklahoma Baptist University in a chapel debate. Perhaps the best debate of the whole season came March 5 when the strong team from Culver-Stockton College of Cantom Missouri, met defeat at the hands of Boyd and Benton Neely. This team from Culver-Stockton went several rounds at the National Pi Kappa Delta meet the year before, and were defeated only by the national champions. This debate really proved the merit of McMurry s debaters as they traveled throe hundred miles for the debate on the return trip from Oklahoma, and had only fifteen minutes in Abilene before they went on the platform. By an audience decision Auburn Neely and his brother Benton defeated the Oklahoma City University debaters on the night of March 19. The other home engagement was for the girls against Baylor College of Belton. This was a no-decision contest. The debate question for this year was the National Pi Kappa Delta question. Resolved, That a substitute for trial by jury should be adopted. The debaters were coached by Dr. W. C. Holden. The schedule was arranged by Benton Neely, the forensic manager. The schedule for the coming season will be arranged by Laurel Dunn, who was a member of the squad this year. The prospects for the Liture in debate arc good and this activity should retain the same high plane that it now occupies. Auburn Nef.ly Opal Johnson Laurel Dunn Ninety-five THE INDIAN BAND The Indian Band of MrMurry College under the direction of Everett Shepherd is one of the best hands in all West Texas. There are many hands that have more members than the Indian Band, hut the quality of music they play is unsurpassed. Due to the efficiency of its director, and the willingness of tin hoys to sacrifice their time and energy for the hand, there has l een much accomplished in a musical way during this school year. The school is due tin hand much credit for the publicity that it has been giving the College, ami shoidd rememl er that the spirit of our Alma Mater has been broadcast through the hand to the outside world. Cooperation seems to he the motto of this organization. They were with the Wall Wah Taysecs during their long afternoons of drill on the athletic field. When one heard the McMurry hand in the park, they knew that the girls were working out some new formation, or that there was a big game in progress. The hand worked over time this year in an attempt to help the Indian Warriors win another T. I. A. A. Championship. Fate seems to have l een against us in winning another champion- ship. hut no one worked harder from the side-lines than did the hand. The hoys are making quite a record for themselves and arc in demand at mal- functions held in this part of the state. They helped to usher old Santa Claus into Abilene. They played for several county fairs around Abilene, and have accepted an invitation to he guests of the Abilene Chamber of Commerce at the West Texas Chamber of Commerce convention at El Paso during the latter part of May. “On to El Paso” has been the motto of the group and has inspired them to work hard so as to make a good showing for our school. Ninety- ! mm THE VIOLIN CHOIR This year ihc Violin Choir, or Ensemble, was organized in or- der that pupils may receive training in playing with other violins, each section playing a different score. This work is invaluable for those who have not had so very much work in violin. It trains for accuracy in reading and shows the group feeling and expression. The group has been directed by Miss Beatrice Story, the teach- er of violin. Their year has been very profitably and pleasantly spent. The following have had the advantage of this work during the year: Eleanor Hanson. Josephine Grisham. Marc.rf.t Love. Willie Jo Darracott. Lilly Cohen. David Preston. Jack Bur- ford. Ivy Ruth Glasscock. Irma Harrison. Eari. King. Mrs. B. R. Blankenship. Mrs. S. L. Carrico, Helen Beeler. Irene Jay, and Mary Elma Ludlow. Ninety- v«n THE ANNUAL FOOTBALL BANQUET The supreme social evcnl of the college year is the Football Banquet which is an annual affair. This is the one time during the year when the entire student body comes together in a magnificent social gathering. The faculty is there also as well as many of the members of the official board of the school and numerous boosters. The banquet was held in the Crystal room of the Hilton Hotel this year. It was one of the best banquets that has ever lw en given in honor of the Indians. The triln that was honored this year is not a championship aggregation, but they were due just as much credit as any cham- pionship team and the school ami student body made them honor guest-, on dm occasion. The program was well planned ami carried the spirit of the occasion out to perfection. Ninety-«icht mm “SEVEN CHANCES” The Thespian Dramatic Club always presents at least two outstanding plays during the school year. The scene below is a view of the east of “Seven Chances which was presented during the fall semester. The play is a comedy in three acts and was produced in a very pleasing way. The people of Abilene have learned that a Thespian production is worth seeing and a full house is always present on the occasions of their major presentations. The dramatic offerings have held a distinctive place in the college year and the students who have l een privileged to par- ticipate have been abundantly repaid for their efforts. Miss I ois K. Boli is the director of all these plays and her capable direction has had much to do with the success of the productions.

' Sigma Pi Delta Scholarship Society Tin McMurry Scholarship Society, a chapter of tin Sigma Pi Delta Scholar- 'll ip Societies of the South, was organized and gained admittance into the southern association in 1926. The purpose of this club is to promote scholarship among the students on the McMurry campus. On February 22. 1929, seventh anniver- sary of the organization of the Scholarship Societies of the South, the annual conven- tion was held at Denton, Texas, under the auspices of the W. H. Bruce Scholarship Society in the North Texas State Teachers College. Miss Julia E. Lukcr. sponsor of the local chapter, and Miss Leila Wood- ard, secretary of the organization, were sent as representatives. An inspirational program was prepared for the group. A tea, complimenting all McMurry students who made the honor roll at th« end of the first semester was given early in the Spring semester to encourage lhcs«- to work for membership in the Scholar- ship Society. The society usually presents to the students one assembly speaker each year who is known for some scholarly at- tainment. The highest ranking tenth of the Junior, Senior, and Graduate classes are elected to membership each year. Along with scholarship, participation in other college activities is stressed, and the members of this organization are found to 1m good all- round college students. Members of the local chapter arc Hu- bert Bell. Marvin Boyd. Alton Brookrc- son. Maurine Eastus. Vernon Henderson. June McMahan, Leila Woodard. Eleanor Greer. Miss Hazel Arnold, and Miss Julia Lukcr. One Hundred Thrteen Sigma Lambda Kappa Literary Society The Sigma Lambda Kappa Literary So- ciety was admitted to the National Federa- tion of Women’s Clubs in 1928. Since that time, it has been active in the work of the Federation. Miss Caroline Couch was representative from the local club at the biennial Meeting of Women’s Federated Clubs, the national congress, at San An- tonio in May, 1928. Miss Dona Locke was delegate to the State Federation meet- ing at Denton where North Texas State Teachers College and the College of Indus- trial Arts acted as hosts. This meeting was during the fall term of the present school year. A representative also went to the meeting of the Sixth District, which was held at Brownwood early in the Spring. Sigma I-ambdu Kappa and her sister society. Alpha Theta Nil are the only Junior Federated Clubs in the Sixth District. Following the usual custom, a year book has been printed this year. It contains the list of members, officers, the constitu- tion and by-laws, and the programs for the entire year. These programs were de- voted to the study of modern literature, novels, poetry, drama, and a short review of modern music and art. In keeping with this plan. Miss Julia E. Luker. sponsor of the club, offered a sterling silver loving cup to the girl who planned the l est li- brary to be bought for one hundred dollars.

Although ihc organization is primarily a study club, it has done much to pre- serve the social traditions of the campus. Three of the major affairs of the year were given under its auspices. The open- ing reception for all new students, espe- cially the Freshmen was given on the lawn September 19. It was very informal and did much to make the new students feel welcome on the campus. The St. Patrick’s day party, an annual affair, was given for the entire student body in honor of the Seniors. This event was one of the out- standing of the year. The gym was deco- rated as a ship ami the sailors had charge of games. A short program and table games helped pass the time for the pas- sengers on the voyage of the “Good Ship Fro.” The Chinese slumber party given by the Society on May 18. with the Senior Co-eds as honor guests was a gay finale of the season, bidding farewell to the big sisters. A more select affair was the charming breakfast on Thanksgiving with Miss Lukcr. the sponsor, as hostess.

The purpose of the society at that time was to conduct debating, declamations, ora- tory. and the higher forms of athletics. In 1920. training in club work became the main objective of the society, ami in 1928-29 the Alpha Theta Nu became a recognized member of the Women’s Fed- erated Club organization. Delegates were sent to the conventions at San Antonio, Denton and Brownwood. The work for 1928-29 has been a study of Pioneer Women of America. Dolls Were dressed representing the different women studied, and were presented to the McMurry museum.

The first social event of tin year was nn initiation picnic at Cobb Park. In keeping with tin traditions, the next social affair of the season was a Spook Masquer- ade on Hallowe'en in the auditorium for tin entertainment of the students and faculty. On February I I. 1929 the fourth annual Valentine Party was given in honor of the sponsor. Miss Jennie Tate. The major affair of the Philas is to be a luncheon honoring the Seniors on June 3. 1929. This is also regarded as “home coming” for Alpha Theta u and is. there- fore. a very joyous occasion. It is the desire of the sponsor that each Phi la may receive through her associa- tion with Alpha Theta Nu, a lasting ap- preciation of the beautiful in art. litera- ture, ami science in a way that will be applicable in later life.

These are the War Whoop. The Cal leon. and The Totem. It is the only organization on the cam- pus which receives members on the busis of accomplishment alone. The regular way of gaining membership is by having five thousand words printed in the school publications. However, some come in by having done sixty hours of work in the business or advertising departments of the publications, and others by having won in some phase of the local T. I. P. A. con- test. Most of those students who take the Journalism course have enough work pub- lished to gain admittance into the Press Club. Twenty-four new memlwrs have been initiated into the club this year. Awards are made each year to the more worthy members of the club. Students of Junior standing who have served two years on the staff of a college publication re- ceive silver quills with Indian guards. Seniors who have three years of service, one of which has been a major staff posi- tion. are awarded gold quills. Miss Julia Luker, Press (dub sponsor, has been of greatest service in helping with the awards as well as in all other phases of work for the interest of the club.

An effort is made each year to secure some person important in the literary world as the main speaker. Harriet Mon- roe, editor of “Poetry.' spoke in 1925; Max Bentley, Managing-Editor of “The Abilene Reporter-News.” and short story writer of national reputation, in 1926: Lexie Dean Robertson. Texas poetess, in 1927; and President J. W. Hunt, who spent a major purl of his life in the newspaper field, in 192«. McMurry, Simmons University, and Abi- lene Christian College as joint hosts in- vited the Texas Intercollegiate Press Asso- ciation to Abilene in 1929. This was a great honor for Abilene and its colleges, since it assembled college students inter- ested in literary work from seventeen Tex- as Colleges. It also brought many prom- inent literary men and women as speakers. The Reporter-News” and the Chamber of Commerce sponsored a banquet in the crystal room of the Hilton Hotel on April 26. at which the visitors, and members of the Press Clubs of McMurry College, Sim- mons University, and Abilene Christian College were guests.

Bonner Meador Cordon Webb One Hundred Nineteen The Life Service Band The Lift Service Band was organized in ihe first year of the College's history. The membership is composed of all students who feel that they have l ecn divinely railed to do some special service for Cod and the promotion of His Kingdom. The members realize that they are not merely preparing for life, but that they are al- ready living. The members take college life as it is representative of later life and try to put into practice the principles that are to govern their later lives. The Band stands upon the basic principles that John Wesley put into the routine of activities for members of his Holy Club. These are Fellowship, Prayer. Bible Study, and Service. The first three of these principles are fulfilled in the devotional meetings which are held each Wednesday evening. The tie of Christian Fellowship binds the mem- ! ers together and the entire membership to the student body in the Christ-1 ikeness of love.

It recognizes no lines of class distinction, but lives upon the belief that all men are brothers and with one Master, even Christ. The service of the Life Service Band has consisted primarily in personal evange- lism among the college students in efforts to make the campus more Christlike. How- ever. it has done Christian service in aid- ing other organizations in presenting pro- grams and assisting the needy among the Mexican Missions in and near Abilene. The activities of the Life Service Band have been tinder the prayerful direction and leadership of Vernon Henderson, President of tin organization. Viola Martin C. A.

The matter had been under consid- eration for some time by the National Council, and after all preliminaries were removed. The McMurry petition passeri the vote of the various chapters on the first ballot. McMurry has made a very fine showing in debate since the first year of the school’s history and it was largely due to the interest in forensics that so small a school was granted a chapter of Tau Kappa Alpha. There are only two chapters of this fraternity in Texas, the local chapter and the Southern Methodist University Chap- ter. It is indeed a distinction to have been given this recognition and those who have promoted forensics in the school are to be congratulated for gaining this distinction. The largest and best colleges and univer- sities of the nation compose the chapter roll. Nine of the .state universities are on its roster. The purpose of the organization is to give recognition to those students who have made good records and distinguished themselves in some branch of forensic activity. The local chapter requires two years experience on the regular teams as a prerequisite to membership. The charter group was composed of ten students, but several of these became alumni members by the process of graduation last June. The membership will be somewhat in- creased in the very near future as soon as the memi ership of this year’s Debate Teams meets the reqiAremenls for admis- sion.

For the present it will have to Ik' known only for its initials and the true secret will remain in the minds of its members and a few of the more inquisitive of their sweet- hearts, at least until more information is at hand. This i« a secret organization for men only. Its archives, which date hack to 1923. disc lose, contrary to various rumors, that there is nothing whatever said about the provision of chicken meat for its mem- bers from time to time. That. too. must remain a secret or a mooted question until the deathbed confession of some of its members. At present they all seem healthy. The members include some of the best and some of the worst men on the campus, so its moral aims are unknown. Dr. William Curry Holden is the guid- ing light from the faculty, holding the title of faculty sponsor. He is popular and to dale is still teaching a Sunday School class, so it seems as if he is incor- ruptible. The supreme social event of the year is the I. II. R. Banquet which was held on February 25 this year. Practically all the meml ers were present with the finest and fairest of the land. Other gatherings were held throughout the two semesters to entertain members and friends. Officers for the year were: Big Chief. R. Bonner Meador: Senior Chief, Clyde Park: Junior Chief. Orlo Mitchell: and Wise Man. Holiday Hay ley. One Hundred Twcnty-tbroe T. I. P. The mysterious female order of T. I. P. was first organized hack in 1925 when the school was yet young and free of v'ce. It is a semi-honorary secret organization whose paramount purpose is the promotion of friendship and interest on the part of its members in the general welfare of the Alma Mater. The young ladies seem to employ every possible means of camouflage to hide the real intentions and aims of their organiz- ation. They go about dressed in the very modest colors of black and white, but it is a well known fact that they compose a very gay crowd for such a sombre collec- tion of colors. However, every member knows that gayety is not the essential quality of any good organization. The social affairs of the group have l een many in numl er and exciting in na- ture. With Miss Beatrice Story, bead of the violin department, as sponsor, the T. I. IVs have accomplished things un- known to the outside world and not to be related in this epistle. Irf.nf.

It is a sister organization of the Life Service Band. An interesting program is rendered each Wednesday n’ght on some phase of the work of Lay Members of the church, in addition to a devotional service. A number of lay members of the Abilene churches have brought inspirational mes- sages to the club members from time o time. One of the outstand ng events of the year was the dinner for G. L. Morelock sponsored by the club. At this dinner Mr. Morelock gave the club a message that will not soon l c forgotten by those who were present. His message was instruct- ive as well ns inspirational. The value derived by the members of the club who were privileged to attend the Methodist Student Federation meeting at Greenville cannot lx estimated. Some of the inspirations gained at this meeting have already been fru'tful of good and others are yet to be worked out.

This year Miss Newman, the sponsor, has led the hand in a detailed study of the life of Christ which has been a source of inspiration to each member. Outside of the regular weekly meetings, a considerable amount of extension work has been carried on by individuals of this Band. They have gone into rural com- munities and small towns on Sundays and have given programs, leaving with the young people of these communities a broader vision of Christian service and a deeper sense of their value in world affairs. Banded together with a unified purpose, encouraging each other, admonishing one another, they march on toward a tatter sen ice toward their fellow men and to Cod in trying to live up to the motto of the Band.

The organization is for the purpose of bringing to this group a more vital personal experience and depth of conse- cration. a broader vision of service, and whole-hearted fellowship, and to seek deeper knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ that lhc may apply this necessity to the heart of every person who comes into their experience. Its social service has been largely visit- ing among its own memlx rship and read- ing the Bible and praying one with an- other. It has to its credit a large number of services conducted in the churches of the surrounding district. Weekly meetings are held at the Col- lege each Friday evening. At these meet- ings, reports of the extension work are made and sermons are preached by mem- bers of the Forum. At various times throughout the year, prominent leaders of the church have brought inspirational mes- sages to the Forum. This organization looks forward to a greater and more extensive, as well as in- tensive, work in the future, and it covets the prayers of all its Christian friends and religious leaders.

Members of the society must la- in one of tin- more advanced Spanish classes and must have a “B average in Spanish. However, the Club thinks that since so much work must be done outside the organization, we ought to forget it in the Spanish Club. One of the chief activities of the Spanish Club is to give Spanish (dub programs in which they make known the dramatic ability of otherwise unknown actors. The purpose of the Club is to promote the use of spoken Spanish as well as to sponsor good times. Assembly programs for the year have met with approval from the entire student body.

One of the events was the foot race for approximately twenty miles across country. Stamina ami fairness were the outstanding qualifications for Indian athletes RTHLETIC5 'Jr . : r:'; COACH R. M. MEDLEY It is a tradition with McMurrv to produce athletic teams that play the game hard and clean from the lirst whistle to the final gun. To the coach belongs tin credit for creating trams that are full of spirit and are able to keep it at a light- ing lone through victory or defeat. He prefers honorable defeat to unfair victory and measures the success of the Indians not by whether they win or whether they lose, but by how they play the game. Medley is a very modest man. taking upon himself the responsibility for the defeats and giving all the honor of victory to his men. He commands the respect of every student, athlete, and fan. His record has ! ceri exceedingly good during the ix years of experience with the Indians. He was able to win the T. I. A. A. football crown in the second year of M« Murry ’s memlwrship in that conference. The school is fortunate in having him at the head of the athletic department. We are not able to pay him his just dues nor give him proper praises in the words of this article because his glory is to be found in the hearts of his men, his ad- mirers, and the true sportsmen everywhere. On Humln ! Twcnty-nlnr YELL LEADERS Athletics arc the chief elements that hind a student body together in a common cause. The other ac- tivities are as worthy of support. The spirit of our student body lias always been a factor in the building of a fine morale among the athletes and the participants in the other activi- ties as well. The spirit of the school has constantly improved every year. The spirit during this year has been the best in the history of MeMurry. The students are deserving of the praises for this condition. The yell leaders are due a great ileal of credit for helping maintain this fine spirit among the students Marvin Floyd has served in the capacity of chief yell leader and his work is worthy of commendable praise. Ilis pep and faithfulness have kept the rooting sections enthusiastically behind the Indians under all conditions. May a lasting spirit of loyalty bind every member of the student body of ‘2D into a permanent band of boosters for MeMurry in all its interests, con- flicts. ami endeavors. This alone cun serve as an estimate of the services of Boyd and Candler Jones, the assistant and yell-leader-elect. The songs have been directed by Caroline Couch and Asa lie Key who are the oflicers of the Walt Wall Tay sees. They have also given some very valuable assistance with the yells. The Pep Squad has l een the nucleus of the rooting section. They arc responsible for the spirit of the students. There has been no more loyal band of rooters in any college than tin girls of our own school this year. Caroline Couch is largely re- sponsible for the faithful work and never ceasing pep of this group.

Turkic McMl’RRYO vs. HOWARD PAYNK-9 As per the usual custom. th Indians initiated the foot- ball season in a battle with the Howard Payne Yellow Jackets on the Beetles’ home gridiron, only to have their goal line crossed for the first time since tin- last meeting with the same swarm of insects. The encouragement for the Braves and their mentor was not found in the score, but in the display of tin fact that the wonderful lighting spirit of the Champion Indians of ’27 was still in the camp of the Redskins. The Jackets outweighed the Braves and their performance was the best that the Indians had ever met anywhere. They rank very high in their own Texas Con- ference and later annexed the crown of that loop. The game was a hard fought aflair and it was not until the third quarter that the Beetles were able to effect an ad- vantage. For the first time in his college career, Patterson had his punt blocked and was downed back of the Indian goal line for a safety. The touchdown came in the fourth quarter, the jackets completing a pass for the score. The greatest loss to the Braves was tin injured noses and limbs that were to serve as handicaps in later contests. No apology is necessary for the results of the game, in fact the men are to be congratulated on the wonderful lighting spirit that they portrayed. One Hundred Thirty-two Punting. plunging, and passing. the McMtirry Indians dedicated their now athletic field, hearing tin name of Donaldson Oval in memory of a departed Indian, by stam- peding one of their ancient enemies to the tune of 16-0. Captain Park started the day off right by recovering the Buffalo safety man’s fumble behind the goal line and scor- ing a safety. Then Hashing a snappy offense, backed by a splendid defense, the red men piled up enough scores that the coach was enabled to test his new material and determine the strength of his reserve power, knuus. Covert, and Fulkerson were the outstanding new men who showed their mettle under fire. Tharp. Hays. Roberts. Segal I. and Taylor were out of the game due to injuries of various na- ture and degree. On the whole the Medleymen showed the fans that they were going to make a serious bid for the T. I. A. A. Hag again. The game was well played and the cooperation of the team was eomhined with the spirit in a way that made the Indians an almost ecrtain vietor.

HAKI M 13 Just as certainly as the Dappers have their Mrs. (Jape, the Indians have to «leal with Daniel Hak« r. The Billies have been a thorn in the side of the R« dskins for several seasons. They comprise ihc most formidable aggregation that the Braves have to contend with in all sports. Due to the fact that the scoreless tie in 27 resulted in a championship for the Redskins last season, the Goals were more than anxious to humble tlu tomahawkers on llu oc- casion of their meeting this year. The greatest barrier to the Indian ' was the absence of the two h« st passers in the conference due to broken collar hones. The Indians put up a gallant fight and earned a victory as surely as victories are ever earned. A special train carri« «l two hundmi oi more students to Brownwood to witness the encounter. The «lefcnl of the Braves cannot be attributed to any lack of spirit, but rather l« unfortunate conditions and the fact that the Hill Billies «hi play a stellar type of football. McMurry offers no aptdogy for the defeat, but our comment is simply that two collar hones prevented another T. I. A. A. championship front remaining another season on the reservation. Bather than offer alibies. the Indians pre- fer to anxiously await the time when the Goats visit the reservation next season. On Hundred Thirty-four A strong rivalry lias always existed between MeMurry and Texas Tech due to the fact that they are both young institutions and that many holly contested games have al- ready occurred I etwron the two schools. The football game this year was no exception to the usual conflict when the Indians mix it with the Hull Fighters. It seemed that fingers were all thumbs with the Mod leymen. and the game was lost more or less because of fumbles at the most critical moments. The Indian offense was the marvel of the spectators during the first half. Time after time, the ball was in a scoring position, bill the chances were lost each lime due to fumbles or bail pa so to the Indian backs. The steam had somewhat «lied down during the last half. It was not until late in the final stan a that tlx Mata dors gained a scoring position and their place kick gave them a score and tin game. Special mention should ! c made of the work of Mitchell and the two ends on the Indian club for they played hard and consistent football throughout tin encounter.

The Indian forward wall showed more stulT than had been noticeable all season. They ripped the Lumlierjacks line till “it warn’t no use.’ Tin backs followed the line for consistent yardage. The visitors seemed never to recover completely from the first dismay. Pool and llavs made first downs when they cared to do so and gained various amounts at each thrust. The scoring spree was started as soon us they forced a punt from the aeogd H:hcj gents iinmediate| following the kick-off. It was just a matter of one march down the field and then another and another. The visitors staked their chances on passes and, as a result, the Redskins bat- ted down twenty-one of their heaves during the afternoon. The flashing offense of the Indians prevented the game from becoming a dull affair. McMl KKY I9 vs. STEPHEN F.

Despite the stellar work of the Tarleton line, the Scalpers’ hacldiehl men followed tin charging forwards and made gain after gain through the rustic farmer line. Segall seemed unstoppable. Pool did his usual efficient heaving, md even though they were outweighed the linesmen did their stuff in stopping the Plowboys and opening holes for the Indian plungers. After being held scoreless in the first quarter, the In- dians took the ball on their own 16 yard line and marched HI yards for a touchdown. Plunging and smashing their way through, they repeated the performance five more limes to make the final score 32 0. The Farmers’ only serious threat of the entire afternoon came in the first quarter when they traveled from their own 32 yard line to the Indian 20 yard line, only to lose the ball and have Segall make 39 vards as compensation for their trouble. The game demon- strated the fact that the Indians were the strongest all-round club in the T. I. A.

The Tribe did not have any breaks and the whole situation seemed to prevent them from living up to their reputation. 'I’he Eagles put up a mighty scrap to try to crawl from the cellar position of the conference. Their threats were thwarted and the Braves would in turn sneak up close to the opponents goal to also fail for one reason or another to make tin final yardage. The crucial moments saved the Eagles and prevented the predicted scores, flic game was barely saved from the records of scoreless ties when, in the latter part of the game, the Medley men charged through the Denton line and recovered a fumble that netted a safety . During the entire game Eagle feathers could not be distinguished from Indian feathers as most of the time a cold rain was falling making a slush pit of the field. K One Hundred Thirty-ei ht McMl KRY-ll vs. EAST TEXAS-13 On a rampage for new meat the East Texas Lions in- vaded the reservation «rking revenge f« r lli« soon of 10- 0 piled upon them as a climax of I lie Indians in their race lo the crown last year. To make the occasion the merrier and to divide the noise, they brought their rooting section all the way from Commerce to cheer them on lo a defeat, hut through a very game fight. The Lion's roar turned out to Iw only a kitten’s meow and they were obliged to make the best of the- little end of a 11-13 score. The game closed the home season and was of particular interest be- cause it was the last time that many of the Indians were playing before the local fans and students. Tile game was much Iwtter than the score indicates, in fact it was a thriller from the very lieginning. On the second play of the game. Hunt blocked a punt and when the smoke had cleared away, the ball was discovered in the safe keeping of Captain Lark back of the enemy goal. The visitors only yardage came by tin use of the aerial route, but they were very effective with the passes and had there only Iwen enough time, they could have probably made the Indians hustle for more scores. Johnson of the visitors was one of the best passers seen on the local gridiron during the season. The game was hard ami both teams played a very fine game and demonstrated a superb spirit of good sports- manship. H. V.

Many of the Braves were wearing the maroon and white for the last time and were willing to give their best as they had done so main times before. The Tribe was bent on making it a grand climax for a season that had been far from a fail- ure already. They were forced to play on a field that was somewhat moist due to other causes than the gentle trickle of the little drops of water from the skies above, 'flu morale of the team was somewhat weakened early in the game when Park was carried from the field with a broken leg. Blocking a McMurry punt in the early minutes of the game, and making a score as the result, the I.oboes offered stubborn opposition during the entire game. The Indian touchdown came after a couple of long passes and a line plunge for the remaining distance. Patterson then kicked the goal that proved to be the difference IxHween the two teams that day. Captain Park. Hays, Hale, Mitchell. Hunt, Me(land- less, Hill, and l edbctler were each playing with the Indians for the last time. The services of these men will be sore- ly missed by the club when they report this coming fall. With such veterans back as Tharp. Patterson. Pool. Miller. Locke, Roberts, Isaacs. Wharton, Covert.

On« Hundred Forty BASKETBALL Kacy Jonhs The opening of the basketbull season found the Indian mentor in a somewhat gloomy disposi- tion. The prospects were far from the place that would satisfy his dreams. In the long run, how- ever, he was able to turn out a much better team than the local fans expected. The Indians finished tin T. I. V A. season ahead of . (!. (!., Southwest I exas. Sam Houston, and Sul Ross. The season as a whole was very successful in spile of numerous obstacles. Taylor, the scoring ace of last year’s club, was not able to get into action until late in the season due to an operation. Park was not in the roster because of a broken leg acquired in the last football game of the season. The season was ushered in when the Indians played a bard game against the St. Kdward's quin- tet on the local floor. The Braves made a fine showing and the prospects for a fair season were elevated in the minds of most of the spectators. M.IMK II aI.K Guard Conn Isaacs Gunn Papoose Coach Ori.o Mitch hi.i. (Center The most unfortunate brace of games that the Redskins have ever played followed in the next week when the Tech Matadors paid the Indians a two-day visit. The score in both games was so close that changing one digit in the units column would have given the game to the Indians. Time about is not so bad however since the exact opposite was the case a year ago when tin Bull Fighters came to Abilene and were nosed out by the Medley- men in two consecutive encounters. The Matadors bad a very strong team as they demonstrated when they trounced the touted Hill Billies from down Daniel Baker way. The Indians went to Lubbock after a two weeks’ rest with the intention of evening the score with the Crimson warriors. The effort was not so successful and the Braves were again kept from the winning column by Vie Payne’s ag- gregation. One Hundr« «l Forty-two During the next week, the Indians took to the road for a few games. They first journeyed down to San Marcos and in the first game were able to down the Teachers and start the official season off .in the proper manner. The Tribe held the lop of the column all during that day only to drop again that night in the second game of the series. These two games were played in a tatter fashion than the early season contests. The tradi- tional foe of the Indians held on to their jinx and walloped the Redskins in two games which were played on the Hill Billies court in Brownwood. 'I In- trip was in many respects a disastrous one for the Braves, hut they were deserving of considerable honor for keeping the spirit that was maintained during the entire expedition. Jesse Moody Guard T. J. Turner Center Clarence Ledbetter Forward Captain Bob Tiiarp Center The bright sp t of the season eamc in a two game series with the I «oboes from Sul Ross. The new entrants into the T. I. A. A. were especially anxious to make a favorable showing against the Indiuns. They presented a different type of play from any encountered by the Redskins during the season. The first game was fast and furious and the Braves barely managed to squeeze out at the close of the affair with the big end of the score. The second game was somewhat slower, but the interest was even keener due to the narrow margin that broke the tie once this way and then the other way. The gun caught the score board in a perfect balance and the extra period was an exciting affair. The Indians hit a streak of luck, and by keeping on their toes during the extra seconds nosed the Loboes out and annexed another game. One tlundr«’d Forty-thrr Wallace Hill The season was closed when the Indians 1 st a brace of encounters to the powerful West Texas Buffalos. The first game was not a cinch for the visitors by any means, hut the last game was theirs from the beginning. The Buffs should have rated higher in the conference than the final standing would indicate. At least two of the squad might be classed as leading performers in the association. Many of the old guard of Indians made their final bow to the cage fans of the city. Mill prob- ably played the best games of his college career. Male finisher! his days the same way that lie has spent them, by playing a good dependable and con- sistent brand of basketball. Mitchell finished a glorious career by carrying on his usual fight and determination. Led 1m tier was also wearing the In- dian colors for the last time. A. J. Hill Guard Orvel Mill Guard Forward Robert Fulkerson Forward This year has been more or less of a transition for McMurrv in basketball. The next season will no doubt feel the loss of the veterans who are passing out by the graduation route in June. On the other hand, the new material should be much better for this year's experience and the Indians should go far in the T. I. A. A. cage race next season. Tharp. Fulkerson, the two little Mill brothers. Isaacs, Tay- lor. Moody and Turner ought to Ik- a sufficient nu- cleus for the building of a powerful combination and a wonderful scoring machine. One Hundred Forty-four mmm Howard Bell Doubles T. J. Turner Doubles Curtis Traweek Singles TKNNIS - One of I hr most popular sports on thr campus is tennis. The college has six courts that are as good as any in this part of thr country. More students play tennis than any other sport in the school. Many tournaments and elimina- tions are held every year. Tennis is a game that is in progress practically all the year, hotli winter and summer. Since McMurry has hern admitted to the T. I. A. A., teams have hern selected to represent the school in the tennis meetings of the conference. Two teams of doubles are selected and the lirst four ranking players in the singles matches. This group composes the squad. Four letters were awarded for servic e on the Tennis teams last spring. A very fine showing was made at the T. I. A. A. meet at Denton. The Indian netters had a very successful season on the home courts. The brand of Tennis played by Coach Cameron s squad is as good as can be found in West Texas. This sport will no doubt grow in interest and become a favorite inter-collegiate affair as well as the- most popular with the local students. Howard Bell and T. J. Turner composed the doubles team of last spring. Renford Tay- lor was the leading man in singles. Curtis Traweek won a letter in singles. Onr Hundred Korty aix TRACK Tin- spring of 2R found Coach Medley at work on his first Track squad. Most of the schools arc dropping base- hall, and Track should come to hold its place in college circles. The Indian cinder men participated in the city meet against A. C. C. ami Simmons; in a meet with the same two schools along with T. (!. U. and Sam Houston State Teachers’ College; and in the T. I. A. A. meet at Denton. Mitchell made a very fine showing at the con- ference meet. The school did not annex any champion- ships in track hut some first places were won. along with numerous seconds and thirds. Tlu results are very grati- fying for the first year. Coneh Medley awarded letters to the men who won as many as five points in any one meet. Orlo Mitchell won a letter in the weights and aldie Hale took his let- ter in the two mile race. The relay team was one of the strong parts of the squad. With Medley's experience in Track and the vast amount of material on the reservation, the Indians should he strong in the Track and Field events by the time the next season rolls around. Ori.o Mitcheu. Weights aldie Hai.k Distance Runs Renfori Taylor Tennis Singles One Hundred Forty x ven The year has hern one of the best that the school has ever had in athletics. The football team was without any doubt the strongest that has ever gone on the field for McMurry. They were not able lo win the title, hut we sincerely believe that it was a stronger team than our own team which won the crown the previous year, and the best team in the conference this year, when the men were all in the game. The Basketball squad was more successful than the quintet of last year. Track has advanced on tin reservation and should have a good rating in another year. Tint tennis enthusiasm has grown by leaps and bounds. The year has marked the completion of the fence around Donaldson Oval and the purchase of enough bleachers to seat 1000 people. Athletics have advanced to a place that is a tribute to those who have pro- moted them.

Ki mi nd Kirby Candidates Because the student body Irecamc so disorderly in chapel and the various duties of the Dean seem to lx- more than the present oflicial can well handle and also due to the fact that the present assistant Dean has seen fit to remove his corporeal beati- tudes to another portion of the domicile, it has been decided that the institution should have a Co-Dean next year. Incidentally, we understand that Jew Garner is paying Sidney Slickhead Boutwell lo leave these parts because he has Im cu a living example of where his best selling tonic failed to function. Two candidates have announced for the position as the Dean's new companion. Hon. J. Edmund Kirby made his bid from the platform when he was acting as the vice-president of the Students' Association. His fatherly advice met the undivided approval of the students. Mr. .Meador made his bid through the editorial columns of the War-Whoop (previously known as the Orthodox Whoop). He seeks the posi- tion because he believes in more restrictions and the preservation of the old ideas of our ancestors. He also believes that he and the Head Dean can work very ef- fectively together due to their life-long friendship and common ideals and methods. It seems that both of these gentlemen should get the position as they are both de- serving ami capable young men. 0. E. Patterson states that his gluttony has been satisfied at least twice this year. He and Blackie Wadzeek have consumed the profits on the dining room during the entire year. On Hundred Fifly-dght HE CONFESSIONS OF VDER FROM MATADER “When I came to this institution I was as pure and innocent as my mother thinks i am or as Sister Cage knows 1 am not. Lnder tin influences of such vile characters as Tillie Young and the Browder sisters, my innocence soon went from me. Tin matron was a good old soul, hut she did not understand me and could not sec things in a modern way. I now confess that I am little more than the little Imp of Satan that I am reputed to he. The only thing that has kept me from the rocks is the nohle and uplifting influence of my dear twin brother. Hawkshaw looked after me for a while after 1 started walking the campus at night, but I soon decided that he was untrue to me so 1 sought another lover. I learned the arts of campusology and became very popular, but there came a day when I regretted all my new learning. I found that I had contracted a had case of Halitosis and that, in the end all the boys were leaving me and now even my Ike has left me for another. I am now so low down as to run around with such men as Clyde Park, Matt Hays. W illie Cameron, and W illie Williams. I am sorry that Dean does not like me, but I am a disappointed Co-Edna ami I must have a little fun some way. I lxdieve that tin Dean could better appreciate my position if he would look on flirtation as Mr. Cameron and Mr. Boutwell do. Thus spake the familiar figure of campus life in a personal interview. Little do we realize as we sit in the school room and listen to the professors that they have had a very slow rise to their present positions and that they had great difficulty in getting out of the rural schools.
