The top picture shows the crowd as it filed by and received plates of beef, pickles, chili beans and bread. The second pic- ture shows a close up of two distinguished exes as they wailed their turn. The third one is of the If ah Wahlaysees as they formed a drill at the game that afternoon. The last one is of the line at lunch that day just before the game with Southwestern. Football means action. The pictures on this page show some of the actions of the Tribe as they met teams from time to time. The first is a play in the Canyon game. The second is of the Sul Ross game played at Colorado. The other is of John- ston as he teas punting the ball. The fourth is Coach Medley's final instruc- tions to the men at Canyon. The last is the play that Osburn kicked the field goal at Canyon. The Campus life has to be revealed in a feature section so tee have tried to presene a few of them on this page. The first is a little practice out on the grid• iron. The next are Mr. Freeman's henchmen who have beautified the campus this year.

Shepherd with Asa I it key as drum major. The individual members of the W all W'ahtaysees have hy their continuous striv- in” for improvement made it possible for McMurry to have a Drum Corps that is a credit to am institution. This group is gaining recognition, not only in Abilene, but in all of W est Texas, and because of it efforts more and more eyes are turning toward McMurrv College. The Drum Corps did its part in helping to win all athletic contests hv being on baud during their long afternoons of drill on the athletic field. When one heard the beat of the drums, they knew llu girls were working out some new formation or therr was a big game in progress. The Drum Corps is making quite a record for itself and is in demand at many functions held in ami around Abilene. It helped usher old Santa Claus into Abilene besides taking purl in the school parades in town as well as those out of town. The Drum Corps is noted for its loyally in all the activities of the rad lege. On many occasions where school spirit is needed, the aid of the Drum Corps is sought.

The Snyder hoys broke through early in the first «piarte.r to block a punt and then recover it over the goal line for the only score of the game. Hell and C. Smith showed up well for the Papooses. The boys who serve on the Papoose learn seldom letter but play the game, taking the hard knocks, ami getting hm little fame. The apprenticeship served while with the Papooses helps tremendously in the competition for a place on the first team. Nearly all men who have become Indians were first Papooses before their advancement. Coach’s lilllc Indians always show the never-die spirit which his first string exhibits and they battle right down to the final whistle with all the power they possess. The Papooses of this year showed their spirit but a lack of team work proved their undoing. Ktk'hty ImtttPB PRESIDENT HALL (irganizattmta KNfl HUNT HALL Artimtii' I ) |� N« Cl.AHk THKTO'I KM Like married life, all re |mii- ihlc undertaking� have their “ups and “downs. ’’lie problems eonneeted with editing the TltK Totem this year have been more “down than up. Selling seventy-five fewer books this year than last, owing to the finaneia! embarrassment f the student body, and everything else off in propor- tion. TilK Totem staff was fared with the necessity of editing a book on about two- thirds the budget it had last year. To do so. we were forced to make some drastic changes in the hook. Perhaps there has never lieen an annual edited at MeMurrv that ha� lieen as wholly a child of the editor s schemes as this book not from choice, but necessity. The hist thing the observer will note i� that the art work of the book is con- spiciiou� b it� absence. The staff felt that the students would rather that two hun- dred-fifty dollars was put into pictures that would preserve the memories of the year than that it In- put in artist's drawings. Then we used the same views that we used last year, thereby saving the eighty dollars for that section. You might think it a little monotonous, hut since the buildings are the same from year to year, we felt that you had rather we pul that money into organizations, beauties, athletics, and features than have those sections slighted ami u� e new views. We hope that we have preserved for you something of the activities that have been engaged in during the year, and that by the possession of this book you will be a more loyal student to the institution.

The need of election of both an editor and a business manager llie first of the year raused delay but the finish has been in triumph. The resignation of Jesse Moody the second semester necessitated putting an inexperienced person in the place. Josephine Pettit. a formei assistant, readily prnvd hei ability to sell ads. and with but little difficulty filled the position of Business Manager very capably. There has been no single editorial policy carried out this year but construc- tive. timely, and interesting editorials have filled the space. The new column IVt Philosophy has given rise to much favorable comment, ami many papers on the exchange list have user! the spicy statements. The If or II hoop is the only paper in the. T. I. I’. A. that carries such a column a record of which we may well he proud. l b-- news has been of the campus only once during the year did foreign mate- rial appear on the front page. The clipped articles have lieen of a readable nature, and of interest to college groups. The Yellow Journal has had several editors. When Bill llight did not return for the second term, the identity of the editor of the column became shrouded in my -lei . Many guesses were made, but failed to hit the right person. The Yellow Journal, however, is said to be better this year than it has been for several years— and remcmliering the former ones, credit is due the unknown editor.

In December of 1921 the Galleon was added to tin- publication' family, but not until the spring of 1926 was it endowed with a separate staff. The Galleon is a inaga .inc published each scmestei by the students of McMurry Gollege. containing poems, short stories, familiar and formal essays, one-act plays, feature articles and other creative work done by the students. It contains some fifty pages in each edition, but in the first there is advertising and in the second the advertising i' conspicious by it' absence, due to the fact that it is the spring edition which is entered in the T. I. I . A. contests. The Galleon has never won the coveted first place, but in 1926 it was classed as third, and in 1930 it won second rank. This year’s edition has not been judged yet. so we are afraid to say how it will mine out. I sing the maroon and while for the December cover, and black ami white for tin- March edition's cover, the Galleons have been quite attractive this year. They have also been well balanced, even though then have l� een errors. Kven editors can make mistakes.

Perhaps you hackslago people are wondering about the mysterious guild. The director selected four or h c I’hespians to serve as an advisory board concerning all i lub problems and affairs. n one person knows who comprises the Guild be- sides Guild memlreis. and they never admit ibex belong. Each guilder is working among dramatic club members, watching their dramatic talents and receiving their altitude toward the organization. The guild is the final authority for all club ques- tion': it decides when Thespianitc' max become Thespians. If any member has loo many unexcused cuts, the Guild desires explanation: and if the excuses are not justifiable the member i' courteously asked to resign from the organization and forced to try out again. Ihe Thespians have open house ami invite you to xi'it their workshop plays about three times a year. These one-act plays are directed by club members. Some plaxs prevailed were llonnrahle lr. liaiifis. directed by Vo’la McCoy: 77re Crystal Gazer. directed by laieille Malone: Fixius, by ivian Welker; Three Gifts, bv Gladys Spencer: and other plays.

Church services. and other similar gatherings in Abilene. Tiips were made to Moran. Winters. Drasco, Eoliau. and other places. In several instances, the quartet would take a few other Life Serviee Volunteers ..ml would have complete charge of the two or three Sunday services at whatever place thev bail been called. W ben ibis was done, another “preacher boy from the Porum brought the sermon at the morning serviee and the Quartet sang two or three numbers. The evening service was given almost entirely to congregational, quar- tet. duet, and solo singing. These services were always inspirational and the group did its best to hold up a high standard of Christian Activity wherever they went. The quartet feels that it is justly proud of the work it has done this year and hopes t do even better next year.
