They are for a bigger and better McMurry. Every step they make is in our interest. Mr. Free- man is a most capable manager and has the school at heart at all times. Dean Boswell is always ready at all times to help us with our problems. He is very sympathetic and understanding.

I.i: DKKS In front of the crowds, with their backs ever to the affray— he it football or basketball—stood the yell leaders. That ole McMurry Spirit that burns in the heart of every Indian and spurs us on to victory is intrusted with the yell leaders. Thus J. W. Phillips, head leader, and his two assistants, J. B. Holt and George Smith, worked to make the yelling more organized and effective to let the boys know that McMurry was behind them full strength. When the situation arises it may be that a player on an opposing team is hurt, or an expert play executed—these students lead the cheer of sympathy or appreciation, and they work out vocal interpretation of the McMurry spirit so well known through- out the Texas Conference. Of course there are pep rallies before every game, but the high-light of these boys’ activities is the rally on homecoming pre- ceding the annual Indian-Wildcat classic and the direction of the traditional all-night tom-tom beating by the freshmen. Ninety JEFFERIES Foreman Brian Carter Stockton Davis McMURRY 7—TECH 24 The Mt-Murry Indians ojK-ned I heir “M gridiron season by journeying to Texas Twh for a clash with tin- Matadors. The Indians met defeat by the score of 24-7. but it was a hard fought frame throughout as the Tech boys scored IN of their points in the first two and last one minute of play. Red Bust was the sensational demon for the Indians and was largely responsible for the first touchdown ever made by an Indian s«iuad against Tech which came after an eighty yard march. Th.- Indians held the Lubbock boy.-, scoreless the second and third chukkcrs. AUSTIN (5—Me MURKY fi The Donaldson Field tradition witnessed a close call when the Austin Kangaroos tied the McMurry Imlians « - • in a listless game that was slowed down considerably by the heat. After letting the Kangaroos score first as the result of a pass, the Indians came back to knot the count when Hnrle.s exhibited a nice display of hip-shaking to evade the opponents to cross the white line for six points. The game ended four minutes later with neither team able to gain an advantage. Jefferies was the star ot the melee especially on his ability to nab the punt receiver as he would get the ball. The McMurry line again showed it iron man stunt by allow- ing only 27 yards to be gained through it. Blackburn gave a nice exhibition as field general while he was in the game and Shorty Detrixhe. who was in the starting lineup, was the delight of the fans with his skooty ball carrying.

(’. 19—McMurry 0 After beating the champion Hast Texas Lions last season in the closing minutes, by the seore of 7-0. they eame back this year to defeat the Indians 19-0 at Commerce. A last quarter rush brought the I.ions two touchdowns as their first was -cored ju t before the first half ended. The last two markers were the results of a pass and a penalty to the Indians' one foot line. McMURRY 17—CANYON 7 The McMurry Indians completely dumbfounded a Canyon homecoming crow l of fl.OOO to kick the dope bucket over and defeat the highly touted Buffaloes to the tune of 17-7. After the Canyon boys early march for a marker in the early stages the Indians had the game in their own hands. With the diminutive quarterback Blackburn starring in every department and especially in his punting exhibitions, the Indians kept the Buffaloes continuously on the defense with his quick punts over them. He also con- tributed a field goal and two extra points to the cause. HOWARD PAYNK 13—McMURRY « Again McMurry and Howard Payne met in a hard and bitterly fought game ami agitin the Yellow Jackets came out with a � point victory. It was a fighting Indian team that came hack to knot the count at 7-7 before the- half ended as the Yellow Jackets scored a marker in the first minute of play on a blocked punt. The Yellow Jackets famed passing attack worked throughout the last half and Ninety-three Bkocdon Bryant F’iutt CHRISTIAN Wood Anthony finally resulted in the winning marker for the Jackets. The Indians threatened contin- uously in the closing minutes but were never able to cross the double line. ST. KDS. 0—McMURKY 0 (In a rain soaked field the Indians of .Mc.Murry and St. Edwards Tigers battled to a scoreless tie that was one of the muddiest battles ever played in the Texas conference. Both teams seemed to In- hampered by the unusually soggy field as water stood all over the field. Both teams threatened each others goal but could not muster the needed drive for a marker. DANIEL BAKER G Me.MERRY 6 That old Tie Jinx seemed to remain with the Indians throughout the melee with Daniel Baker Hill Billies. The Indians could not muster more than a 6-6 tie with the Hill Billies. Although the Indians surpassed the Daniel Baker team in every department they could not get that winning marker. The first downs were 17 5 for the Indians and the McMurry boys also gained over 250 yards from the line of scrimmage. Meeks scored the Indians’ touchdown as he scooped up a blocked punt and rambled for a touchdown. The Indians threatened continuously in the last quarter but fumbles and pass inter- ceptions deprived them of marking up the winning tally.

The second marker was shoved across the line by F.chard who played a stellar game throughout This defeat knocked the Pirates out of the race and gave the championship to II .ward Payne. Mc.MURRY • : A. C. C. 0 And came the game every Indian had been waiting for so anxiously since last year'- 3-0 setback given us by the Wildcats from the other hill. Revenge was mighty sweet at tin- score of 27-0. Kvery Indian seemed to fight his heart out and outplayed the Wild- cats at all times in all departments of play. The Indians were unable to score until the last seconds of the first half when Sing Carter intercepted a Wildcat pass to dash 7 yards for the initial marker. It was a question of a far superior team over a baffled Wildcat crew in the second half. Pinky Brooks scored the second touchdown on a 10 yard spin through the center of the line. Harless, on a double lateral from Brooks to Carter to Harless scored again and Dub Pool marked up the final one by stepping around end f� r five yards and pay dirt. It was a double victory for the Indians as they made 17 first downs as compared to NONK for the Wildcats. The Indians total gain was 390 yards while the Wildcats had a total loss of 18 yards instead of a total gain. Ninety-five i RKSIIM FOOTBALL Coach Gentleman Jim McKenzie turned out a fine freshman .-quad that came through with a remarkable record. In their first game of the season, the Kish battled the strong Hanger Bulldogs to a scoreless tie on a muddy field. Bobby Anthony dashed 75 yards for a marker but it was overruled by a penalty. The Kish then got their first taste of Cat Meat by taking the kittens from A. C. C. into camp by the decisive score of 2C-0. The Papooses journeyed next to Spur and downed the Spur High School by a large score. 32-0. Next came the only setback of the season for the Krosh. It was a one point loss. (13-12) to the Wayland Junior College Jack- rabbits. The Papooses upset an All-Star aggregation of ex-Texas Conference stars when Miers zig-zagged sixty yards for a touch- down and a b-2 victory. And then the final game of the season for the McMurry frosh resulted in a rousing 13-12 victory over the Howard Payne fresh- men. Coach McKenzie turned out some mighty fine material in such performers as Anthony, Brookshire, Dunlap and Christian in the Backfield while Cure. Ingram, Powell and Hamilton should be good material for line berths on the varsity for the ’35 grid- iron season. Here’s hoping Gentleman Jim will have as much success with his next year’s fish squad. Carter King Daniki. Meek Hai i.kss Fkkrki.l BASKKTBAU. With only two returning lettermen with which to build n basketball team, the Indian' were nearly a completely inexperienced ball club as compared with last year’s championship crew. However this bunch of striving sophomores came through nicely to down the strong Denton ratters in the first melee of the season by the score of 29 20. Only a few nights later the Indians rallied in the closing minute- to defeat Howard Payne 32-31 when Blackburn dropped in a crip shot. Our next encounter was with the A C. ('. Wildcats. It was a close affray but the Cats came out on top -JO-36. The high stepping Hill Billies then took the Indians into camp by the score of 61-39. The tribe showed a reversal of form and bowled over the Pirates 39-31 in one of the best played games of the season. The Indians journeyed to Brownwood only to meet disaster as they lost to the Hill Billies 51 -36. but were barely beaten by Howard Payne 46-44 as their rally fell short of two point- . Ninety-eight The Iniimus canto home t iu;. e out the Kangaroos 10-38 in a thriller. On their road trip the Indians dropped a return engagement to Denton 30-2 . The next night at Austin College in Sherman tin Indians ran wild in the last minutes to win by I! -.'!'. . Playing the Wildcats for the second time of the season the Indians dropped another encounter to the Wildcats to the tune of 14-33. Invading South Texas the Indians emerged with a 50-50 break by downing St. Eds. 43-27 and losing to Southwestern 31-27. The Indians dosed their season by dropping the final game to St. Edwards by the score of 31-20. Only one man of this year’s squad will be lost by graduation. John Daniel is leaving the rank- but there is an abundance of reserve material and also Freshman recruits which should make a strong aggregation for the '30 season. Ferrell, the elongated pivot man for the Indians, won a center berth on the second all-star Texas Conference team. Ferrell, King and Carter also finished high in the scoring race.

We are through and thankful to be so. We have worked hard, figured budgets, jewed en- gravers and printers, watched Mr. Freeman, taken all the money that the studes got their hands on.

However, the Scribbler’s Club, which is sponsored by the Press Club, helped to lighten the burden a great deal. Highlights of the year included the annual ban- quet, the monthly coffee - houses, and the weekly meetings.

The main objective of the club is to become a mem- ber of the Pan American League, so as to gain recog- nition for McMurr.v College and make the club out- standing.

Kiul.t Trio: Visciikakmi kr N� :m.y Wilsus DKBATK This was another year of victories for Mc.Murry in debate. Our teams were engaged in twenty-seven debates and of this num- ber they won twenty-one. MeMurry was represented in two tournaments; one at Baylor University. Waco, and the other at the West Texas Speech Arts Tournament at A. C. C. Joe Henry Wischkaemper and Paul Wilson composed the team that went to Waco. Two teams were entered in the A. C. C. Tournament. In this tournament Wisch- kaemper and Neely were not eliminated until the quarter-finals: in this round they were defeated by a 2-1 decision. The feature of this year’s forensic program was the twelve day tour of Colorado. New Mexico, and the western part of Texas. On this tour the teams were engaged in sixteen debates of which only one was lost. The schools debated on the trip were: Wavland College, Plainview; Amarillo College, Amarillo; Trinidad Foren- sic Club. Trinidad, Colorado; University of Denver, Denver, Colo- rado; Regis College, Denver. Colorado; New Mexico Normal Uni- versity. Las Vegas. New Mexico; University of New Mexico, Albu- querque, New Mexico; and Texas Technological College, Lubbock, Texas. The debate question for this year was, Resolved: That the Nations Should Agree to Prevent the International Shipment of Arms and Munitions. The debaters were coached by Prof. R. L. Willis. The schedule was arranged by Auburn Neely, Forensic Manager. The prospects for the future in debate are good and this activity should retain the same high plane in the future that it now has.

H. R. is a well known exclusive men’s organization composed of those who have proved their consistent loyalty to the college and their fellow students. Other than loyalty, it is the outstanding purpose of this organization to promote sportsman- ship and good spirit in McMurry. This club also carries on an extensive social program by hold- ing several picnics and steak fries during the year. Some of these parties are open for dates; some are strictly stag affairs. The climax and outstanding social even of the year is the one and only I. H. R. Banquet. This is something that is not easily forgotten in the minds of the members and the co-eds who rate this magnifi- cent engagement. The proceedings of the meetings are secret, but we will assure you that they are impressive, especially to new members. This organization attracts the attention of every wide awake boy on the campus. The membership of the club now numbers 31 being composed of 17 members and 14 neophytes. Thanks to Dr. Everett M. Shepherd for his guiding spirit this year. We appreciate his help, interest, and support. One lliiixln 1 Ton Matiiews Green HmmwK Estes Assi.ky Davis Rowykr Ely Mediam'k Couch Wai.kek Gilhreatii Watson Chi LDKEss Moore T. I. P.

The Choral Club, in conjunction with the Hoy’s Glee Club, made many trips to nearby towns for programs. Their repertoire included sacred and secular numbers. These two clubs known in en- tirety as The Chanters had a very successful year. The Girls’ Octette made up of two quartettes of girls bore the burden of travel for the Choral Club, singing for Club occasions, luncheons, banquets, sacred and Church programs.

Within the club is a special octette. During this year the organization has made numerous appear- ances in many cities of this section of the State, receiving a warm welcome and hearty applause on each trip. To the untiring efforts of its director, Mrs. Gypsy Ted Sullivan Wylie, the club owes its success.

KORl M The Ministerial Forum is now in its eighth year as an active and energetic organization. This organ- ization has tried to do something each year for the betterment of McMurry College and its student body. This band of twenty-four wholesome young men has tried to do all that lies in its power for the ad- vancement of the kingdom of God in McMurry Col- lege, as well as all over the vast territory of the Northwest Texas Conference. The purpose of the organization is to bring the ministerial students into closer contact thereby giv- ing them greater courage and strength to accomplish the many tasks that are before them. The Forum looks forward to an organization which will, sometime in the years to come, inte- grate the lives of the entire student body of this great institution of ours.

The only people who are eligible for mem- bership in this organization are the lettermen of football, basketball, track, and tennis. The out- standing ideal of this organization is to create a greater interest in all sporting activities. In order to establish a name of honor, and to dis- tinguish the “feated” Indian Head, the organization passed an amendment signifying that no letter sweaters be worn other than Indian Heads. In order to be able to wear a high school sweater the owner must turn it wrong side out, or have the letter removed. A form of initiation has been arranged for all first year lettermen by the club. These are the major changes in its Constitution. «Jit� .' Iluii'lrtsl Twvnly-two (Ml Kin HAM) During the school year of 1934-'35 the McMurry Band has enjoyed the most successful season in several years. The largest Band in the history of the school was assembled the first semester after adding outstanding talent from the best high schools in the state. The first trip of the year was to Lubbock in September when McMuit.v played Texas Tech. Then besides going to Brown wood to the Daniel Baker game, this 36-piece organization under the direction of Dr. I. K. Gwynn Silvey played several programs. It was complimented by a trip to Coleman in interest of the Winters football team, when the two schools met on the gridiron. The outstanding trip of the second semester was the three day jaunt to Amarillo to play for the Cattleman's Convention and to attend the Mother-in-Law Celebration. Enroute and on the return trip programs and parades were presented in the following towns: Wellington, Shamrock, Memphis, McLean, Clarendon, Childress, and Haskell. During the Spring season extensive entertainment is being carried by the band to many towns in this section of the state. With the new uniforms and its capable musicians, this colorful organization has gone far in extending the true spirit of McMurry College. Losing only four members by graduation, the Band is looking forward to a big season in 1935-'36. Our hats are off to Dr. Silvey, director, for his loyalty and untiring efforts. on IIiiimIi. «• Twfiiiy-tlire' DOUGI.AS. WllATI.KY. Mr.IH.ftl K. WALTER. Al.I.EN. A.NSI.EY. PlCKENS. Jones, Fl'I.l.ER.

Each Wednesday night a program is given de- signed to aid each individual member to solve his everyday problems and develop Christian character. The accomplishment of these purposes is secured through open seminar discussions and inspirational addresses.
