BOYD M. McKEOWN, M. A. JAMES E. FREEMAN Dean Secretary-T re ascrer Head of Education Head of finsiness Administration To hold an administrativo position means the working out of a mass of details that effect the entire system of an institution. Not always is it a popular or pleasant task for such positions require an immense amount of tact and patience. It is only when one is familiar with such work that its cnormon ness is apparent. The fact that Dean B. M. McKeown has had the guiding hand in thi institution since it started out as a small junior college till it has reached a place equal in rank with institutions much older, i cs peaks his ability and capacity. The faithfulne-s with which he carries out his many tasks as educator, disciplinarian, and mediator is a good indicator of his interest in the welfare of the institution. As a co-worker with the Dean, a key man in the institution, and a students friend, Mr. James E. Freeman has won for himself the respect and admiration of everyone connected with the college. Ilis efficient ) makes f« r him friends and commands their confidence. The growth in enrollment in his department of Busi- ness Administration is indicative of his trustworthiness in business matters. Nineteen NIKS. s. C. . M.l l)UK O Jl I.IA K. I I KKR. M. A.

Arlie Garner, yell-leader, upon hearing the war whoops emitting from the auditorium, rushed to the scene thinking that his yell squad had met without his consent and direction. ' That was the effect that the freshman class had upon the campus life of the Reservation at its initial meeting on a certain morning in the fall of 1926 when. 175 strong, they started in to pave the way for their victory on class day and to show the world how college life should In lived. They have continued to attract at- tention for four years l doing everything from busting traditions right and left to swiping slime presidents. Of that one hundred seventy five original number, only twenty arc graduating this year from McMurry. Of the other eleven members of the class, five are back to take their degrees after staying out for a time, three are graduating in three years, and three are transfers from other schools. In the Freshman year, there was little e-lass activity beside- winning the football game, a class fight or two. and «1 few other little things like that. 'Hie next year. Howard Fee Miller was president and the class took, naturally after a year's experience, more part in the activities of the college. It was the Junior year, with Red l.ocke as president that the good old class custom of a picnic or steak fry or oyster fry ever so often was instigated. I bis custom continued into the Senior year with outings more and big- ger than ever. Tin- class in this last year has made it a point to go into everything it started to do one hundred percent strong. Picnics at regular intervals. Class «lav breakfast at the Hilton, a tea for the faculty, numerous parties in their honor, and finally a trip after final examinations to Carlsbad cavern were planned to end up the scholastic career of the members of the class in a grand and social way. The class of 1950. now ending its stay in the halls of McMurry. is indeed glad to he part of tin- procession of students that make up the great institution made possible by the men to whom this volume is dedicated.

They have Imtii very sueeessful in breaking some of the traditions of the school in that they have succeeded in electing their candidate for Totem Queen, and have l eaten the upperclassmen in football. The members of the class as a whole were not outstanding, hut with the sponsors and a few leaders the class followed their “Sheepherder Prexy like Mary's little lamb. The voting power of this « lass was equal to the rest of the school and matters warme«l up on several occasions when the upperclassmen and freshmen were divided. Frankie Segall has l een the only one to make the count come out right with the student body voting on a split issue. One thing the Slimes failed to do was to win the events of the annual Freshman Day. They lost the Hag rush, the Tug of War. and won the Alligator Hare. They did not succeed in pushball. Stock in the Fre.-hman class was very much on the wane April the lirst. In fact they were wall-eyed waners from Wanetown. as Hill once remarked. They were not outnumbered but outfought, and fur- nished plenty of meat for the upperclassmen. The Freshmun elass is to In congratulated on what it has ac- complished this year. It has done more in one year than any other similar class since the foundation of the school. The unity ami the ease in which they carried out their work and play has been the envv of other organizations of the school. The upperclassmen hate to admit that Slimes are superior in anything, but this is one item that there is no question about. The school looks forward to the year when as upperclassmen they will “carry on” the spirit which they have demonstrated in their davs of “Slimedom.” Kifly-riirht ACADEMY Una Vay Adcock Haskell H E Sc ABO I RM.

IKI k us Tackle HIGDON HOWARDS Tackle EHY WIIORTON Guard THE T O 1 EM PAPOOSES The little Indian are the roughest and loughe I that the college boasts in any circle. The success of the crew that lost only one game, was due to this crew that gave them plenty of opposition in practice ami made them nearlx as rough and tough as the Papooses. The fact that the Papooses knew only one thing, to hit and keep hilling, was the one factor that carried them throughout the season w ithout a defeat. The Weatherford College eleven was about the largest that was played by the first or the wrecking crew, but it was not equal to the charging of the little Indians. High school teams were their particular joy. and their success with some of them made it difficult to secure games with them. The success of the McMurry Indians is due to a large extent to this bah trihe. On the other hand the Indians are in a way responsible for the success of the Papooses in that they furnish mueh excellent practice. SOU KIM IV. OF GAMES Post 6- -V . -Papooses 27 Kotan 0 .

In addition to this, the past year it has sponsored the Homecoming Celebration and the Spivial I tain to Canyon. Besides this it has rendered financial aid to various other campus activities. This Association was organized in 1923 and operated under a constitution granted to it by the college authorities. In the spring of 1929 a new constitution was drafted under which it now operates.

To such a task we. the editor and business manager, with a splen- did corps of assistants, have endeavored to give the best possible with the available material. If we have failed to give anyone due recognition of their merits it is not from any personal motive, but from lack of intelligence of those merits or from our point of view it was felt that your organization was not as representative of the college year as some others that were in competition. In connection with the Endowment drive the college is making, the staff felt that it might he a service to the institution to run a Better Mr.Murry motif: hence in dignified three color work we have tried to give von an insight into the future of McMuRKY.

Despite some dilln ult « aused l changing printers, the small staff worked Hard and gave the students their newspaper. The War-Wiioop aehieved and helped aehieve mueli through its editorial eolumn. The V ar-W itooi’ was among the leaders in asking for a Freshman «lay. and April I saw the completion of that phut in one of the most interesting happenings on the campus throughout the year. A member of the staff was one of the chief members of the committee which marie the successful plan- for that day. The W R-W HOOP also advocated a change in the present chapel programs, and was just about to see a committee carry out a change in tin system. A com- mitter had previously taken a straw vote in the student l od concerning tin matter of chapel programs. Another item which tin War- HOOP strongly upheld was the adoption of Hail to Our Dear McMurry ’ as an Alma Mater. The song was written I a local teacher, and well liked by the student body. The War-Whoop carried on an exten- sive campaign favoring its adoption but n superior committee bad Mopped action on the popular music which was favored by all the students. Hut it seemed likely that the song would be adopted before it was too late. The editorial policies along other lines were constructive and sometimes Ninrty- li urg'ng the students lo help ihe small slaff secure enough copy to fill the blank spaces. There were many good news stories and features during the year. And the r-Whooi always tried to carry a full line of sport news each week. Many of the reporters and staff members entered material in the annual T. I. I’. A. contests. Ilu- Yellow Journal which had more than one editor during tin year was declared l many to In the best that has appeared in the last two or three years. Many snappy incidents on tin leading campus figures were introduced from time to lime much to the merriment of the innocent, and the unnoticed. Each person on the staff had to work hard, and they all deserve the credit and the thanks of the editor. The editor for next year was chosen from tin staff, and she i- to he Miss Km run Jane McDavid. assistant editor, and long-time member of the staff.

It was issued then each term, a magazine of fifty pages, containing the l est short stories, poems, and plays which could lw garnered from the student body. It also gave tin literary minded a chance to break into print and get used to the thrill l eforc they sent their creations out into the hard, cruel world. Then in 1926 the stepchild grew loo hefty for such joint juris- diction. and a guardian all its own was elected. Since then, it has placed every year in the Texas Intercollegiate Press Association contests, but it has never proudly borne off a blue ribbon. This year everything possible has been done to groom the young one for the contests, and it is hoped the first place will be ours. When the college year was divided into semesters rather than terms. The Gali.kon became a semester magazine. It now has a definite appropriation from the student activity fee: and despite fi- nancial difficulties at the beginning of the year, it has come off with flying color.- both managerlally and editorially. r e vi PUBLICATIONS COI NCII.

The two major productions of the year wen “The Patsy” ami “Applesauce.” “'Hie I nder-current” was the one-net play chosen for the state tournament. In chapel, “Suppressori Desires” and “The Pot Boilers’ were presented, and an evening program of one- act plays included “Maker of Dreams. “The I nderciirrent and His Blue Serge Suit.

Clifton i Pat i Henry has served in the capacity of head veil leader, and his work is worthy of more than a pass- ing notice.

One Hundred Seven GYPSIES GICILOS The Gigilos, or the Mail's Glee Club, has been one of the most active organizations on the campus. Each member has taken it as a personal responsibility to see that his part of the work was clone in the best way possible . The club was limited to sixteen members this year, and each mem- ber secured his place by making a creditable showing in the try-outs held just after school started in September. This year’s club has been one of the best in the history of the school. The spirit of co-operation, and the idea of making a single goal has prevailed, thus making it pos- sible to attain a marked success. Mrs. Gypsy Ted Sullivan Wylie, dean of the Fine Arts Department, is director of the club and Mr. Hjalmar Bergh. Head of the Piano De- partment. is accompanist. Programs ranging from classical music to comedy have been given from time to time throughout the year, and the organization has been one of the most popular that can be found around the campus. The entire membership of the c lui has made tours into all parts of the state this year, and their programs have been well received wherever they have appeared. These trips are made for advertising purposes and as a reward to the members for their work. Members: Top Row: Bowers. Rodgers. Turner, E. Edwards, Bell, Taylor. Schulze. Voder.

The quartet has taken several extensive lours in connection with tin1 (dee Club to many parts of Texas. Also they have given numerous programs on week end trips. The college is very proud of its quartet, which gains a warm welcome wherever it goes, and many invitations to come back. Many new students have been won for Me .Murry among them several fair “Janes” of which MeMurry will no doubt be proud. The Quartet has entertained as far north as Dalhart and I’ampu. as far east as Dallas, and as far west as Odessa, including most all the best towns between Abilene and these boundary's. The fellows enjoying such trips are Kig Edwards. who is serving his third year on the quartet; . F.

A program was given l new members and the symbol of friend- ship was made with a wish from each girl. I he spook party on Hallowe'en in Hunt Hall was for the entertainment of all the students and faculty memliers. This event was one of the outstanding of the year. Witches, spooks, goblins, and various other characters held full sway at the party. The guests, the majority of whom were attired in costumes ami masks, were greeted at the door by the officers of the society. Fortune telling booths, house of horrors, spook games, and contests were the chief centers of interest. On February I I. the fifth annual alcntine party was given at the home of the sponsor.

While only a start has been made so far. it is a start toward an addition greatly needed on the campus. This is only a part of the program of individual and college development which mak« Sigma l.amba Kappa loved by her daughters. It is the aim of the organization to help every girl de- velop in herself those ideals and aims of service that make for lead- ership.

The Big Sisters initiated the pledges at a charming seated tea in the home of Miss Caroline Couch, for two years president of the society, in February.

The Sigma Lamha Kappa Society was organized in the fall of 1023 in the month the college opened. It was admitted into the Texas Federation of Krosophian Literarv Societies in 1021 and l o came a member of the National Federation of Womens (dubs in 1028.

It is the only organization on the campus which receives members on the basis of accomplishment alone. Five thous- and words published in the various campus publications is the common method of securing membership ranking. However, some come in by having done sixlv hours of work in the business or advertising department of the publications, and others l having won in some phase of the local T. I. I . A. contests.

Simmons I niversity. and Abilene Christian College, as joint hosts, invited the Texas Intercollegiate Press Association to Abilene. This assembled college students interested in literary work from 17 Texas colleges, and for this reason it was a great honor for Abilene and her colleges. It abo brought interesting literarx men and women as speakers. Me Murry s honor was the w inning of two first places — the editorial and the short stor in the T. I. P. A. contest. An annual banquet is held by the Pres Club, and an effort is made to ha « u speaker of some note in tile literary world pro ent.

And as long as McMurry shall stand, this hand of consecrated young men and women shall he found at their post of duty not sleeping: hut doing all that i- in the r power to make McMurry all that a Chri.-tian institution should he. and to make her in deed and in truth “The Pride of the Western Prairie.” This hand, or a group of God's children, is here for the purpose of promoting the spirit and principles of Jesus on the campus, and to afford a source of power and activity to the Christian worker; and a source of inspiration and aspiration to the student who has not made a definite decision in his own life work. It is a desire of each member to help the student solve Ids or her problems that necessarily arise when he finds himself in a new environment with new and greater responsibilities.

Bunded together in one purpose, in one ideal, under the name of Christ, encouraging each other, admonish'ng one an- other. we arc striving to reach the “prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus.” It is our constant prayer that we many function in the true sense which our name implies.

It was organized in 1 27 because of the need of these men for a more vital personal experience and depth of consecration, a broader vision of service, a whole hearted fellowship, and a deeper knowledge of the Lord Jesus Lhrist that thev may apply this necessity to the heart of every person who comes into their experience. Since then it has occupied a large part in the lives of it members. In weekly meetings at the college each Friday night the devotional and inspira- tional note has been stresssed. In addition to the sermons preached by the students, many earnest messages have been brought by the leading ministers of the country. Extension work in the rural communities has also ! eon emphasized, giving the men many opportunities to preach, and at the same time bringing a message to the churches unable to have a full time minister. It is the desire of tin Forum, not only to he of service to its own members, but also to bring about a In-iter understanding ami fellowship within the student bodv by living the Chrisllikc life and showing His spirit in all things.

The charter was granted in tin late spring of 1928 with ten charter members. Each year since that t;me. the select debaters and orators of McMurrv have been taken into the fraternity. There are onl tw chapters of the fraternity in Texas, the local chapter, and the Southern Methodist I niversity chapter. It is indeed, a distinction for McMtirry to have been given this recognition. The largest and best colleges and universities of the nation compose the chapter roll. Nine of the state I niversities 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. Che local chapter requires one year's experience on the regular teams and participation in at least one intra-mural debate. This year the local chapter sent a representative to the national convention of the fraternity which was held at Miami I niversitv. Oxford, Ohio.

FOR A GREATER McMURRY THE GAUNTLET You run it uhether you rntr or not I INTRODUCTORY REMARKS History of the Totem for the Year ’29-'30 Anil it came to pass that in the course of a year's time The Totem came to the presses and many were done an injustice in the form of the many flattering photos. The beaut ie- walked to their places and the crime began. Tin- ink smeared the famous mugs of the institution over the pages of the annual and the grinning mem- bers nf the faculty took their positions at the beginning of the sec- tion. Hie press Ix-came weary and turned to the scene of the cam- pus for relief. When the cap and gown section came through, the rollers gaped with laughter, and the face of a senior beauty did not register as she thought it should. To sec some of the members of this squad is enough to make anyone laugh, even ink distributors. When the section with Pat Henry came along, the prr-sses stopped while the pressmen held their ide and laughed. It was necessary to l rilx- the paper with pictures of Franklin K.ldridge, I.ucile Cist. and Caroline Couch besides Pat In-fore it would consent to he a part of this grand and glorious book. The junior section had to he sent to the dehydrating room to lake away some of the excessive size of the heads. The chests were rather inflated, hut the editor remedied that with his scissors. When the ink vat noticed the pictures of the junior section, it actually turned blue and it was necessary to change ink before continuing. I’lii- ink ran ns the picture of Tom Bass came along on the front page, and a reprint was necessary. Monkey Doss and Rig Edwards are smiling across at Emma Anderson and Eugene Luker's weakness which caused much gossip in the binding room. One Hundred Thirty-five THE TOTEM THE ;Al NTLET (Continued The Sophs with their high and mighty look were carried to the rogues' gallery and rephotographed for future reference. It was necessary to run them off on commercial presses generally used for dodgers. They are all dodgers when hill collectors are about. Tie onl redeeming feature in the section is the hig smile of Jap Dorsey. He reminds one of a long-eared nightingale of the desert eating cactus. The Freshmen section was run off on a hand press. A press could not he found that would compress the extremely large heads and chests. The Queen was sent to Fort Worth to the Star-Telegram to he printed by the great presses of the newspaper of the South. Slime Womack, president and sheepherder. was hard to get through the press as he was started feet first. The metal in the cut melted when the face of Ror began to lake form, and it was necessary to have one made of the hardest steel with a high melting point before the print could he made of this warm gentleman from the Panhandle. Conn insisted on being in this section, bill his cap and gown would not lit into the picture with lleflcy. and it was necessary for him to return to the front of the book. Ilie feature pages were not so had hut the athletic section gave much trouble as the lough expressions of the faces of Miller. Whar- ton. Segcll. and Osborn scared the machinery, and there was a run-awav. As a whole the book is punk for the editor did not have the material to work on. In the second place the editor hail too main conscientious scruples to tell the prevarications necessary to leave a good taste in the mouth of everyone. If you don’t like it don't sa anything. If you feel flattered we apologize. Ma you like it and feel that you have been done an injustice. Rememl er this 1930 TOTEM from our Alma Mammy. Hail to Our Dear Me Murry! On Hundred Thirty-nix ROMANTIC BARBS l) CAMPUS REVIEWS On behalf of those friends of truth. these brief expressions are hereby dedicated to that small group which so recklessly wielded the hloody cudgel, but wh« se liter- ary endeavor has been so colored with their personal experiences, which in their feeling of security, have throttled the free press and throttled free speech, and clouded the whole field of journalism with a damper of autocratic tyranny. Without malice or aforethought these budding young journalists have portrayed the barbaric refla tions of their own experiences and have made it difficult to de- termine how much of their scandal lias been unconscious confessions at the expense of some poor romantically inclined defenseless victim of campus circumstances. We humbly submit our literary attempts for the approval of those autocratic dictators of Vellow Journalism. Mr. Bailey Henderson and Miss Birl Might. If old Ksop were to visit earth again and were to compose his fable in simple la) he would find that such intrinsic things as stud) were left up to the meta-physic mind- as Bob Tharp and Mic ky Pool, that many things catalogued could be properly listed as extra-curricula. That the main diet is not of worms but of -ugar coated elates each possessing enough strychnine t« prevent thoughts of study, and stimulates the suppressed desire to doze through long dr lectures the «lay after the night before. The outward expression of this dread malady te which some are so susceptible, is a yawn and a cracked lip. and a batting of tearful eyes in a dreamy repose. The most notable occurrences e f this outbreak arc most noticeable on the lips of out in town girls, which might lead one to believe that it was a mistake te the temperature of the soup, which after careful investigation we are inclined to believe that it was not the soup but tin sap. There was the press banquet, who heard what transpired there. How many know that the chairman to the model league missed her 8 o'clock class the following morn- ing. and we wonder the why and the wherefore of it???

GuU (?) One Hundred Forty-three THE Truths From the Platform By An Observer Sonic have wondered at the success of the affirmative debaters in the co-ed schools this year. Womack says it's the question. 'Flic answer is obvious—even a freshman though he be a debater should be given some credit for his observations on the platform, when he is in a position to see things for himself. The proof is those inter- esting brown eyes that Marguerite delights to see in mirthful sparkle which penetrated the mystic gloom that shrouded those backward seats where the affectionate hearted aces of the Annex mingled on the occasion w ith the fragrance of Wool w orth’s, safe in the chapel from the searchlight of night exposure. The effect of those discussions by the debaters must have been only psychological, for, look at Bowers whose impersonation of Kllis Locke reminds us of the “Cream of Beaux of ’49.” His at- tendance was regular, hut with no noticeable reform. Ilu con- clusion seems to Im- that since man cannot live without the use of his arms only a gradual process of disarmament should he ini- tiated. A p roc ess whereby education would be the salvation of man. and save him from the annihilation of his folly ami the torture of the practice of arms upon defenseless individuals. 'Flunk of it. mcntul and moral disarmament what a modest proposal- per- haps the theory would have worked the day before GALLEON poetry caused such a reactionary influence upon campus life. If this disarmament theory was as sound in practice as some debaters have tried to lead us to believe, Byrdie L e and Big Ed- wards would still be un-attached property, ami Blacky’s conduct would still lx controlled by the ink on the pretty stationery from Denton. The nations should Imi convinced by the failure of such Itopionic paradise by merely looking into tin affairs of those in- dividuals who are its loudest exponents—such inconsistencies.
