On a still July morning in J875, James Winford Hunt was horn on the Kmc Reservation in the Indian territory where his father. I)r. William Hunt, had been sent as government physician by President I . S. Grant. When the baby was only a few hours old. his mother. Elizabeth Pruitt Hunt, held the tiny squirming little fellou in her arms, looked into his round face, gave him the name James Winford, and dedi- cated him to the ministry. As the child grew, he became a great favorite with the Indians who affectionately called him Docka Shinda Little Doctor. presumably because of his likeness to his father. Of the nine children in his family. Docka Shinda was the most fasci- nated by the Indians and picked up from them many traits which lie carried through- out his life.

It is our aim that this hook portray the life of our campus am! forever lioltl up the McMurry Spirit in its wonderful meaning ami significance. II e only wish that the content gives you as much pleasure in rcalling it as it did us in com piling it. The Colony, unlike (he ma- jority of frontier settlements, was made up of cultured and educated pioneers. They were deeply religious Quakers; and as a result of this whole- some influence, even the cow- boys on the range though presenting n rough exterior, were noted for their rugged honesty. In his Inter life. Dr. Hunt captivated his listeners' minds and hearts when he told of the cowboy fiddler playing under the light of the stars after a hard day on the trail, and his picture of pioneer life never failed to please his audiences. Miss Emma Hunt, oldest sister of Dr. Hunt, taught the first school on the plains in a dugmit. I. a t e r, the Quakers established u college known as Central Plains Academy, from which insti- tution James Winford Hunt, the youngest member of his class, w a s graduated with honors in 1893 and was awarded a fellowship to an Eastern College. It was in school that he received his first training in debate and public speaking which was to furnish the ground work for one of the most eloquent orators and brilliant plat- form speakers in Texas.

But since that tins the year of the panic, he nas unable to accomplish very much, and. therefore, returned to the plains where he secured a position with the Iowa Cattle Company Ranch, of which Rollie (.. Burns was foreman. Later, he bought what remained of the Tkxan l‘iu: s at l.slacado and the Lkadkr at Blanvieu and combined these two newspapers as the I’llKss-I.KADKK and became an editor and publisher. At the invitations of the Blainview citizens, he moved his printing, press to Plain view. It was during the time that he was at Plainvieu that his mother ami father died. This brought about a profound change in his life because he was devoted to both of his parents.

The upperclassmen thought they would beat us flat. Their beauty would win-—and all of that. But we all said—we’ll show 'em. And Chet’s face graced the pages of the Totem. The Freshmen won—as usual. Indians are noted for their attacks. So we recommended picnics down by the railroad tracks Of course, some of the tribe didn't appear, Such as Su. Chet, and Dan. the dears. They decided on a itroll, that jolly night. Upperclassmen crow, walking was quite a sight. But the Freshmen won—as usual. Swish, Swash, went the sign at Baird. I’d tell you about it, if I dared. Time came for the food. Lack of which definitely changed our mood. Every Slime wanted an upperclassman ham, All but cool Doc—who didn’t give a dam. But I guess we won —as usual. And now we’re the Sophs of '34, Our hall of fame—we do adore. There’s Queen Beth and our six varsity men, Of debate victories, our Prexy helped win ten, Hence the Sophs continue to win—as usual. We cannot all be pretty and popular too. But all of us togeiher can always put it through, So when we're Juniors of ’35. We'll give them more of a surprise. And when we get that year fix. We’ll be the Jofty Seniors of 1936. Will we win, indeed we will—as usual. —Dorothy Mathews. The first thing we poor dumb fish heard last September was ’’Hello Freshman. Where’ya from? We want you to feel at home here. We’re just one big happy family.” All of this made us feel much more at ease .... but it was the lull before the storm .... the utmost courtesies were shown us until after reg- istration. Then came the mighty Wischkacmper with the news that all freshmen boys were to meet for the first orientation period. Period, sex we. It was a whole paragraph! The frosh girls were also properly instructed with Mary Wilson as chief executioner. We were all told that the chief thing in a freshman’s life was to acquire the art of taking it and here the great Booth and Wischkacmper gave a personal demon- stration to freshmen of The Mule Bam. (We understand they both know more and are less foolish now.) Anyway, we believe the frosh have really learned how to control themselves, even though the process of learning has been some- what tedious and painful at times. The fish have had a spirit thiB year that held up through thick and thin with the football and basketball games. We were right there with the goods and feel that we have done a fair job of keeping the traditional spirit and pep on the campus. Who does not remember: The Frosh football team? The skirmish behind the Ad Building (how many freshmen had to be carried off)? The Frosh basketball team? The Freshman edition of the War Whoop (out on time)? Frosh Banner hanging against a beautiful plush background in chapel? The Froeh picnic? Yes. we feel that the class of '37 has made a good beginning and wish to express our appre- ciation to the uppers for having helped us thus far. We shall endeavor to inculcate (notice that word) the same spirit into the frosh of ’38. Forty 1937 Ri tu Patricia White Wilburn Fields - Fern Wright II E () T E l 1 ) 3 I Roswell. N. M.

From this dream. McMurry College had its birth —and the story of the lije of James Winford Hunt from 1921-1934 is largely the story of McMurry College. The found- ing of a college is not an easy task, and Dr. Hunt gave his all to the great under- taking with an enthusiasm and an optimism, that were unequaled. He preached one Sunday morning on “Methodism's Opportunity in West Texas, and the response that he got encouraged him to go before the Abilene Chamber of Commerce with his plan. Since that body was busy with another proposition, it deferred acting on the new plan. Hut l)r. Hunt was the “never-say-die” type of person, and he clung tenaciously to his aspirations—which resulted in the doors of McMurry College being openal to young West Texans on September 19. 1923. The presiding bishop of the Xorthwest Texas Conference, William Fletcher McMurry. 11364-1934) was a personal friend of Dr. Hunt's and it was in appreciation of his aid in the founding of McMurry that the college bears his name.

Its purpose is to promote pep and add spirit to the school life. This year has been a successful one under the capable leadership of Elsie Pearl Couch and .Julia Bowyer. This organization is more than a pep squad, however. It means much to the heart of every Firefly in it. Always it stands for “honor, truth and right. It has faithfully cooperated with the school in its every undertaking. The drum corps this year was larger and better than ever before. New beats and new drums helped to make the corps the success that it was. Several parades were made during the year. The Wah Wahtaysees took a leading part in each one. The social activities of the school year were begun with a tea on the lawn at President Hall and were climaxed by the tea at the Hilton Hotel and the slumber party at Buffalo Gap.

BASKETBALL A Texas Conference Championship in Buskotball was won by the McMurry Indians during their second season as a member of the association. The Braves worked throughout the season as one man, keeping the opposition crossed up and never giving them u minute’s rest. The first game of the season was lost to the strong Southwestern Oklahoma Bull- dog-. The final score was 43-33. «Kir conference campaign began at Georgetown where we plnyed and whipped the Southwestern Pirates. 45-11 . The next day the Redskins moved to Austin, where St. Kdwards fell before them. 58-32. The Indians then retraced thoir steps to Brownwood wbeic they defeated Howard Payne by a score of 46-36. There were quite a few fouls in this game. Harless getting four and F Smith three. The next night Daniel Baker was finally conquered. 40-36, each team gaining the lead several times, only to lose it for a short time. Finally, the Braves settled down and won the contest. After the semester exams, Austin college visited the Braves in our gym. and were delighted to let us set a new scoring difference in one game of 66 points. The final score was SO-14. St. Edwards dropped by next and again the Indians conquered the Tigers. The score of this game was only 69-34. The Indians could not click as they should in this game. Howard Payne arrived a few days later and after forty minutes of hard playing left with forty points to the Medley men's fifty-one. Every man was plnying the best ball of the season, making every shot count. Klirhl v-slx The first real test for the Indians came on February 16 when A. C. C. came to our gym. With approximately 2.000 people in the building the Wildcats whipped the Braves for 38 1-2 minutes. Then, with the score 33-38 against us, the Indians opened up and won by 3 points, the final score was 41-38. Daniel Baker again helped the Indians by losing 52-43 to give us our ninth con- secutive victory for the season. The lost road trip of the season was made to Sherman where the Austin College Kangaroos were defeated 63-30. A slow game, with few foul , was uninteresting to everyone, including most of the players. Game number ten was played in the Wildcats' lair. Again, for approximately 34 minutes, the Wildcats had the advantage, gaining a lead of 16 points. However, when the game ended, the score was tied necessitating on extra period. A tic was pro- claimed at the end of this session requiring another. In this part of the contest the Indians came out ahead, winning the game by the traditional three points. Because of Simmon's defeat the same night, by Howard Payne the Indians won the Championship. Southwestern closed the season with a visit to our gym, where they were defeated 49-22. McKenzie and F. Smith placed on the nil Conference team, while Bob Curry mode the second team. A new individual scoring murk was et by Curry, with 212 points in twelve games, closely followed by McKenzie, with 200. F. Smith was fourth in the scoring list. The Indian approached a record by winning twenty consecutive confer- ence victories. We only hope they can stretch that number to thirty-two in the 1935 season. OROII .

Ninety-on Hill Holt THE TOTEM The Totem, the yearly publication of the students of Mc- Murry College, again made its appearance and is ready for the criticism and praises of the students. The staff discovered that putting out an annual was an ex- periment similar to life—in that it has its rough knocks and its rosy clouds. Although there were quite a few more copies sold this year than in the last several years, the rise in prices for printing and engraving made it necessary that a few changes be made in the book. Perhaps there has never been an annual edited at McMurry that has had as many changes made in the plans as this book, not from choice, but necessity. We hope that there have been preserved in this book some of the activities that have been engaged in during the year and that by the possession of this book you will become a more loyal student to your institution. Ninrty-two t The Editor and Business manager wish to thank all of those who have in any way helped with the publication of this annual, especially Miss Julia Luker and Mr. James E. Freeman for the way they have helped us during the building of the book. To that group that the Editor has unnerved and worn their patience threadbare while he was trying to get their likeness, he wishes to make apologies and in any way possible make amends for the harm he has done. Then there is another group which he wishes to console, and that is the ones he has offended and whose time he has utilized in making chapel announcements dur- ing the year. If any of these people will call in person, he will be glad to make such adjustments as may be in his power. However, we the staff, wish to thank each and every one of you for the way you have stood by us during the year and for the interest you have shown in the annual, and also for the way you have supported our every undertaking.

SMITH Ninny.flv Fowler Ramsey THE GALLEON Surmounting great obstacles, or so it seemed to the staff, the Galleon managed to make both appearances this year, with a result that was more than satisfactory. The first issue coming out in December had a black and white cover, full-page cut, and a motto World-Minded ness Through Books as features. Fresh- man contributors came up full force, and several old regulars answered the call. Poetry, short stories, plays, essays, and book reviews were found among the contributions. The second edition was really the pride of those who helped to make it possible. The cover was cream and brown; a new division, Slices of the Southwest, attracted much attention. Clever short stories and humorous essays and articles served to contrast the poems. Several cuts, a full page mural done in black and white, and smaller silhouettes enhanced the artistic value of the magazine. This was the issue that served as contest material at the annual T. I. P. A. convention held at Abilene Christian College this year. Doris Fowler was editor while Ralph Ramsey was Business Manager. Ninety-nix PRESS CLUB Activities of the Press Club year reached their heights with the annual T. I. P. A. convention which met at Abliene Christian College, April 26, 27, 28. In connection with the T. I. P. A. ban- quet, the annual Press Club Banquet was also held. The usual work of the three campus publications The War Whoop, The Totem, and The Galleon was carried out success- fully by Press Club members. Continuing the encouragement of freshmen writers, the Scribblers Club was again sponsored through a successful year by the Press Club. Coffee-houses during the year were enlivened by the enter- tainment of Scribblers in September, and the Press Club pledges in April. Miss Julia Luker carried on her able work as club sponsor during the year. Delegates to the annual convention were Doris Fowler, Hyman Teague, and J. B. Holt. Officers for the year were: President, Floyd Marshall; Vice-President, Vaiden Hiner; Secretary-Treasurer, Dorothy Marshall; and Reporter, Edward Ansley. Mur h ll, Smith. Hill. Johnuton, Curry.

Although it is a new organization it is most interesting and helpful to the Spanish aspirants. The object of the club is not only to increase the interest in foreign language but to make the school a more friendly place. Throughout the year most colorful and unique programs have been given pertain- ing to Spanish customs in all of the Spanish speaking countries. A Spanish Banquet was an important feature of the year’s activities. The Art Club joined us in giving the banquet, where every guest thoroughly enjoyed himself in the artistically deco- rated ball room, with its Spanish music and program. McMurry students will not soon forget the chapel program put on by the Spanish Club near the end of our second semester’s work. Our club would not be possible were it not for the untiring efforts of our sponsors and advisers. Miss Myatt and Miss New- man. Nlru-ty-eiicht e SCRIBBLERS Early in the year, all those who were interested in any form of writing organized themselves into The Scriblers Club. Their ability was given tangible form when they submitted material for The Galleon. The War Whoop also profited from the versa- tile pens of these literary aspirants. As proof of this, just look how many members have been accepted into the Press Club. The purpose of The Scriblers is to offer a forum for student writers. Here their contributions are read, discussed, and con- structively criticized. Many helpful suggestions are offered by the members and the sponsors. Mention should lie made of the fact that many of the mem- bers are Freshmen. They have worked diligently and well and are true Scribblers. It is the desire of the entire membership to work hard and faithfully, to live up to the standards of the club, and to uphold its traditions. From what has been said, it would seem that the present scribblers are potential leaders in journalistic circles.

The party was at the home of our director, Caroline Couch. Twenty-one initiates from forty aspirants, proved themselves worthy to become Thespianites. The Thespians, together with the Thespianites, have done much toward making this club year successful. The major production of the first semester’s work was the unique presentation of the three-act drama, A Character Intrudes. Kit Carson, supported by Janie Bess Saxon, took the leading roll. The second semester will be remembered by the success of the one- act play, Sky-Fodder in the Texas Intercollegiate Dramatic Tour- nament. The play competed with twelve colleges and universities throughout the state, and besides second award, placed Ford Allen, first honorable mention boy actor. Other members of the cast were Kit Carson and Max Chenoweth. Crockett Fox was substitute actor, Elsie Pearl Couch was stage designer, and Dor- othy Mathews was stage manager. nr Hundred e The club sponsored a contest between five original one-act plays, written and directed by Thespians. The three winning plays were Hyman Teague’s ‘Til Be Back.” Kit Carson’s “Bel- shazzar.” and Billy Joe Gist’s “Whom the Gods Love. Two other original plays presented were Mildred Handly’s “Joy, and Fern Wright’s So That’s It.” Several of Kit Carson’s plays were pre- sented in West Texas towns with one given at the North Texas State Teachers meeting at Canyon. Another valuable contribution to the club was the starting of a property and costume room. Additions to it were made at a Pot Latch Dinner given in the Couch home. Several members of the club have served as judges for numer- ous interscholastic league meets. Some of the Thespian girls were in charge of the story-telling hour sponsored by the Abilene Wo- man’s Club. About twelve workshop plays were given during the year and three interpretations of plays, including Bernard Shaw’s St. Joan. Alberto Cassello’s Death Takes a Holiday, and Billy Joe Gist's Whom the Gods Love. The club’s success was achieved through the untiring efforts of its sponsor and director, Miss Caroline Couch. .liHiK' ri, Smith. Iliirrl . IklrlXh''. Allen.

R. was founded in 1923, about the time that McMurry was making her traditions. It is an out- growth of the carnivorous order of animals on the campus. The I. H. R. is the only secret organization for men on the campus, recognized by the school authorities. The outstanding social event of the year is the I. H. R. Ban- quet, where many of the exes renew old friendships and make new friends. Neophites, performing for the old members, usually give every one rare entertainment at each social event of the year. The organization’s membership is composed of the majority of the leading students on the campus. The acceptance of a pledge is an acknowledgment of the high ranking of the student in some of the activities of college life. Jim McKinzie is Big Chief; Robert Curry, Senior Chief; Wilson Johnston, Junior Chief; Malcom Anthony, Medicine Man; and Francis Smith, Wise Man. Coach R. M. Medley and J. K. Gwyn Silvey are the advisors of the organization. On Hun 1r l Two w T. I. P. stands for friendship and lovaltv—black and white waves high over this mysterious ship. The T. 1. P. Galleon is launched each September for a voy- age around the college year, and it anchors only to admit pas- sengers or have parties as far as the world knows, because most of the ship’s sailing is done secretly. The outstanding ports in which the good ship T. I. P. an- chored this year were a slumber party at President Hall, a theatre party, and many sessions. The good ship pulls into port in May for the annual pro- gressive dinner in honor of the Senior members of the T. I. P. The membership of the T. I. P. is made up of the most popu- lar and best known girls on the campus. The organization is ex- clusive as each year it takes in only a few new members. These new members, better known on the campus as Gob- ettes, furnish the entertainment for all social events. Then when they become full-fledged members, they assume their positions as mates and help to steer the ship safely into port.

B. Holt, and Mordell Shouse, both freshmen, made up the second team. The first competition was met at the Howard Payne tourna- ment. Both first and second teams advanced to the quarter finals, where they were eliminated by close decisions. The first team lost a 2-1 decision to the winners of the tournament. The climax of the season was a ten-day trip covering about 1700 miles through Texas, Colorado, and New Mexico. The teams won every debate on which a decision was rendered. Texas Tech, Amarillo College, and Wayland Junior College were among the Texas schools met. A unanimous decision was won over Denver University, Denver, Colorado. The University of New Mexico, at Albuquerque, was de- feated by the McMurry debaters, even though they had beaten the University of Southern California.

THE GITA NAS The Gitanas, together with the Gigilos, is an organization whose purpose is to give the lovers of music in McMurry College an opportunity to exploit their talents and their work during the year. The Gitanas furnished many interesting programs during the year; the most elaborate was, perhaps, in Sweetwater at the District Federation of Women’s Clubs. Other programs were presented in Seymour, Eastland, Clarendon, Goree, Munday, Rochester, Haskell, Knox City, Rising Star, Cross Plains, Put- nam. Baird, and many other towns. Together with the Gigilos, The Coming of the King, by Dud- ley Buck was presented at Christmas with Pickles given in the spring for the “Chanters' Frolic. The success of this organization was due to the competent leadership and inspiration of Mrs. Robert B. Wylie, and the con- sistent co-operation of the members. One Hundred Kight GIGILOS For the first performance of the year the Gigilos, together with the Gitanas, prepared for presentation before the North Texas Conference meeting at Clarendon, in November, “The Com- ing nf the King, by Dudley Buck. This performance was also presented in chapel and at the Heavenly Rest Episcopal Church in Abilene. There were several other programs presented at towns near and around Abilene, including Tuscola, Seymour, Rule, Knox City. Munday, Haskell, and Rochester. There were other pro- grams presented in Abilene. For the opera performance the Gigilos and Gitanas presented a cutting of the operetta “In Old Vienna or “Pickles. This was presented on the evening of April sixteenth in the McMurry Audi- torium. Much of the success of the organization was due to the un- tiring efforts of its sponsor, Mrs. Robert B. Wylie.

RTCLl B The McMurry Art Club was organized in 1930 with eight members under the direction of Mrs. Ruby Conway McIntosh. The purpose of this club is to encourage art appreciation among the art students through exhibits of fine example of art, through lectures, and interesting programs in club meetings. During the year the club made several visits to the homes of antique collectors, gaining valuable information for future use. As one of the outstanding events of the year the Art Club sponsored Roma R. Connor in an exhibit of oil paintings and drawings. At the climax of the year the club sponsored the exhibit of the art students’ work in oil paintings, water color, charcoal, pencil, pastel, pastello, soap carvings, wood blocking, and hand tooled leather. WILSON SMITH BOW Y EH SMITH COl.K iill.IIKKATII i'ARSON HITSOX MONTGOMERY One Huiulrnl Eleven MINISTER! l. FORUM For seven years, the Ministerial Forum has functioned as one of the most helpful organizations on the campus. Its mem- bership consists of all students who are studying for the ministry. The purpose of the organization is to bring to the group more vital personal experiences and depth of consecration, to glimpse a broader field for service, and to seek deeper knowledge and un- derstanding of the Christian religion enabling that broad field to be filled with laborers. Through the extension work the young ministers are privi- leged to fill the pulpits of absent pastors, and rural churches that do not have full time pastors. The twenty-three members of 1933-’34 have preached something over three hundred sermons since the beginning of the school year. The organization looks forward to a more successful club, doing more successful work, in a more successful way. Onr Hundred Twelve —=J| ti THE LAY ACTIVITIES CLl Ii Since 1926 the Lay Activities Club has had for its purpose the provision of a place for worship and training for the young people of the college, who will be trained laymen in our churches of tomorrow. This club occupies the unique position of being the only one of its kind in Southern Methodism. The club meets every Wednesday evening, where programs are given by members of the club or by some outstanding speaker of the college or city. These programs have carried out the theme of the purpose of the club, in teaching the members the responsi- bilities of a lay leader. Some outstanding speakers of this year have been our late Prexy, J. W. Hunt, Dr. Dodson, and Senor Flores. Members of the Ministerial Forum have spoken to the organization from time to time. The Lay Activities club has been outstanding in starting and promoting the all-college prayer services, held in the chapel, each Wednesday evening, since it was in this club that the services were first suggested. Under the guidance of our faculty sponsor, Miss Jennie Tate, the club has experienced an inspirational and successful year. HKNToX. KU.I.KII, M.RAK. IM.fGLAX. IlfTI.KIt. MoNTOOMKItY.

The probable reason for its decline was the lack of need for the ideals for which the organization stood. How- ever. with our bright future for a larger enrollment, and an in- crease in the interest for all kinds of sports, there promises to be no end to the future of the Indian Head Association. The only people that are eligible for membership in this association are the lettermen in football, basketball, tennis, and track. The Indian Head Association sponsored the selling of basket- ball programs for all the games played at home for the season of 1934. The proceeds was applied on a fund to purchase letter sweaters for the members of the varsity teams. It has helped make sports one of the most popular activities of the school, both with the student body, the faculty members, and also with the participating athletes. The officers of the organization were: President, L. D. “Sandy” Foreman; Vice-President, Newby Pratt; Secretary- Treasurer, George “Shorty” Detrixhe.

Its membership includes those who are preparing to become ministers, missionaries, and other workers in the church. During the past year its Wednesday night meetings have been an incentive to create true Christian living on the campus. Here members have found encouragement and inspiration for their tasks. No definite project is being undertaken at the present time by the Band as a whole, but the work of each individual member is being closely watched. This organization is a clearing-house for student problems where the members earnestly strive to help each other. The Life Service Band faithfully co-operates with the college in all its en- deavors. Its members try always to uphold their standards as signified by their motto: “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly divining the work of truth. • AKK X.

The last page has been sent to the printer, and the final curtain rung down on the 1934 Totem. With the fading light, there also fades the nightmares and bugbears of discount dates and time limits. It has been the purpose of the staff to build a bigger, better, and more symmetrical annual, one more perfectly representing the school. We trust that these aims have been accomplished and that in years to come, when you look through the time-worn pages of this book, you will recall with pleasure the days of 1934. We thank Miss Julia Luker for her co-operation and help- ful suggestions during the year. We also thank the engraver, and the printer; also the photographer and students; and last of all—thank goodness that it is all over. If there are several typographical blots after your name, or if we have given you a new name, please do not blame us too much; such mistakes occur in the best of families. To all future Totem editors we extend our sympathies. Some people are just naturally crazy, others go temporarily insane, and still others edit a yearbook. One Hundred Sixteen Ads and Humor In the feiv pages that have gone before we have attempted to portray for you a few of the high points in our beloved Prexy's life. At the time we began this theme, he was still with us, guid- ing and directing as only he could. In the last drawing, we have an artist's conception of what our Prexy had dreamed McMurry would be. Are we going to fail him and our school when we are needed so badly ? 4 THE TOMAHAWK 4 Vol. 11 McMurry College.

High Jackum Due to the persistent ef- forts of the great Wisch- kaemper, the Freshman Class elected our dear nightwatchman a s their prexy. For one thing, they used their heads, they can come in when they please, because their d e a r, be- loved prexy won't turn them in. (However, you might ask Martha Jay Childress and Zoie Odom for particulars). When the poor little Fish came to their senses, and realized their mis- take, they wanted to have a real man with lots of “I,” so they elected Fats Brian as the Freshman chief. I only wonder if they made a wise choice. Time will tell. ------o----- SCHOOL HAS SEV- ERAL SMART PEOPLE We just learned that there are several fish, and upperclassmen, who think they are exceedingly smart.

Soph Prexy Can't Take It The Soph Prexy, Jose- phius Herodius Wisch- kaemper, was the victim of that great malady, known as the S.

However, due to the he- roic efforts of his pals, he (Continued on page 3) The Board announced last week that they had definitely decided it best to get an entirely new ad- ministration for McMur- ry College. The President of the board told the re- porter that all of the above candidates had been contacted and were will- ing and glad to get the new positions. We will hate to see our old teach- ers leave, but may be it is for the best. We hope so! ------------o PRESIDENT HALL DEAD SECOND SEMESTER Owing to the continued absence of Bibs Jameson, President Hall has been on the verge of death for lack of something to do.
