FOREWORD- Being our theme that trickles through this edi- tion’s stream of graphic portrayal of the year just completed. J. B. HOLT EDITOR NEIL DANIEL MANAGER IN THIS VOLUME— We salute West Texas and the City of Abilene in the heart of which we have spent this school year—do homage to its progressive- ness, the loyalty and sacri- fices of its citizens in found- ing and forwarding our school, the beauty of its natural surroundings, its beautiful buildings, its com- fortable homes, its varied industry. We have become a part of this Athens of the Southwest — truly a cul- tural center. THE 193 7 TOTEM ■ West Texas Edition Published by the Associated Students of McMurry College ABILENE ....

The sf. is like a crystal haul lly the l.on ' hami ear veil dean ami whole AI Abilene in even inf hour. The sunset opens like a ffoteer; The sun comes up from sprint to sprint March inti in fflort , like a hint . All nit hi the watching stars look down In beaut on the dreaming town. There hearts are. warm and friendships strong, And life is good the whole gear long. It mag be when the rail is given For me to go from earth to heaven. If there's stopping place between— I'll spend one night in Abilene! —Nancy Byrd Ti'knkr. Though the .wetion of the slate nr omul A hi lent- teas originally ami nlnn st wholly Innlt etl upon the tat- tle industry. Ihileue. San .ingrlo. and the surrounding area have been ami are very iin rortant wool markets and wool shipping centers. To ever If est Texan a grazing herd either sheep or cattle—under a cloud stud- ded II estern sky makes a picture of contentment ami beauty. The new minletn post office is in- dicative of the continuous business progress. Twelve miles south of the campus the state park affords scenic beauty unparalleled -with pecan trees, lazy stream, play- grounds. and picnic nooks on ideal spot for recreation out uith nature in all her beauty. Scenic spots are plenti fid. Spacious, Bermuda - matted lawns add inviting charm to com f actable homes. Cooling streams, with cat- tails fringing their shaded banks, reflect our Texas sun- sets. Roads majestically lined with shade anil fruit trees lead to landscaped parks and summer homes along l,ake Lytle. Hardy m e s g u i t e .s- share space with the more husky pecan. Where the skirts of the Great Western Plains are ru ffled with rolling hills and cedar covered moun- tains, diversity of natural surroundings af fords a pan- orama of which one seldom tires. TO S. M. JAY- WE DEDICATE- this fifteenth volume of The Totem. An institution is but the lengthened shadow of a great man. James Win ford Hunt had a magnificent dream. S. M. Jay has made and is making dreams come true. A true West Texan, a builder, a pioneer, and the staunchest friend of Christian education. No eloquence can pay adequate tribute nor estimate his contributions. He would disap- prove both. His genuine sincerity, quiet de- meanor, and Christian character mark him with distinction; and in the eyes of youth he is ad- mired, respected, and worthy of emulation. It’s refreshing to know such a man. Administration Building Yucca Rock Garden Gymnasium Thomas Watson Brabham, D. D. President ROY GARLAND BOGER. B. A.. M. A. Dean OLUF P.

They were selected by popular vote of the student body itself—that being in keeping with the demo- cratic spirit which prevails on the McMurry campus. UNLIKE MOST YEARBOOKS which have some movie star or orchestra leader select the beau- ties from a group of inanimate gloss prints turned out by some photographer and paid for by the candidates. The Totem is proud to present to you on these pages the true favorites of the campus, selected not for the kind of picture they can take, but for what they are every day in mixing with us. THE HONOR IS DISTINCTLY— of greater value for this reason. By your personality, friend- liness. cheerfulness, neatness, beauty, and display of the famous Reservation spirit, you have been selected as outstanding. A suf- ficient storv of your campus life at McMurry is mirrored and re- flected by these pages. WE HOPE THAT FOREVER you will remain the same genial, lovable, attractive girls you have been here this year. This book is permanent; you have one; all vour classmates have one; through the years it will be cherished and become more valuable; carry on. —The Editor.

He has honored us by his remarkable achievements and we, in turn, pause to honor him. R. M. MEDLEY «•rtf Coach In his first year as assistant coach, at Mc- Murry, Coach Morrison has proved himself to be a valuable asset to our sporting realms. He has worked diligently with the scrub teams and has reaped his reward by the results of his accomplishments. Good frosh teams of today will be excellent varsity squads on the morrow. Taking complete charge of track, the Con- ference Meet (two weeks after press time) is due to see a real cinder and field squad in action.

After losing the first two sets to -Jesse. 12-10. 10-8. he rallied to take the last three sets and the match (5-2, 6-2. 6-2. Jesse took over the No. 2 slot with Earl Russell playing in the No. 3 position. The year’s intercollegiate activities began with a dual meet with Daniel Baker at Brownwood. The Indian racket wielders made a clean sweep of the Hill Billies by taking every match. Tommie and Jesse Beene, first two ranking men, made a week's excur- sion of Texas and Oklahoma along with the golf squad. The courtmen met representatives from Wichita Falls Junior College. Oklahoma University, Uni- versitv of Oklahoma Citv, Austin College of Sherman, and T. W. C. of Fort Worth. This year’s squad seems to be the strongest since Chenoweth and Har- less won the Doubles championship for McMurry. The tennis representa- tives will compete in the conference meet, which will be held at Sherman this year. Those reporting for tennis besides the seeded men were: Wilford Beene, Phil Carter, Donald Cooper. Ralph Nance, A. C. Sears, Robert Bickley, Jake Pennington, George Boswell, and Bobby Anthony.

IMS 112 THACK rtj 4 wj Sto«kton Due to the fact that this edition of the Totem went to press before the conference meet was held, results from it are unavailable in this annual. Last year the conference meet was held in Abilene under the auspices of A. C. C. Running in the Dark Horse role the Indians grabbed four first places and a few others to grab 25 points and a third place in the conference meet for 1936. Outstanding performances for the afternoon were turned in by Sing Carter who won a double victory in the dashes and Mule Stockton who set a new conference record in the shot put with a heave of 47 ft. 3 in. Activity for this year’s track squad has been more or less limited to the present time to the accomplishments of Mule Stockton, champion shot putter. Pool, Stockton, Carter, Gann, and Dunlap journeyed to the ’37 Exposition meet at Fort Worth, but Stockton was the only representative to scratch. However, the big shot putter did the job up in brown when he walked off with a new exposition record in his event with a heave of 49 ft. 2 in. Next in line came the Texas Relays. Stockton was the lone representa- tive from McMurry, and he finished second to Sam Francis, All-American football and track star. Mule’s throw at the Relays was the longest of his ca- reer when his 49 ft. 8 in. heave was good enough for a second place in the university division. Stalwarts of the squad for this year seem to be Carter and Gann in the dashes, Stockton in the shot put, Campbell in the high jump, and Pool in the broad jump. Pago 113 kn.i’vrmcK Stovxm.

C.otcii GOLF With an abundance of freshman material adorning: the McMurry golfing ranks, prospects for a Texas Conference Championship shine brightly as the time for the meet draws near. In elimination jousts held at the Willow Crest golf course Foy Fan- ning downed Jack Stovall to gain the No. 1 ranking with Stovall taking over tlu second slot. Cotton Kilpatrick, who is a versatile golfer in match play is ranked at Xo. . J. B. Holt, squadman of the 'Mb team, will probably com- plete the foursome in the Conference meet to be held at Austin College at Sher- man this year. Stovall, Kilpatrick, Hooks, William Couch, Fanning and Arnold are all classified as freshmen. The McMurry golfers started off a successful season by downing Daniel Baker in a meet at Browmvood, then they returned to Abilene to shellack the A. ( C. squad without the services of Fanning, Stovall or Couch, our first three ranking men. Next activity for the divot diggers was the Sweetwater invita- tion at which Fanning took the runner up slot in the tournament. Fanning, Stovall. Kilpatrick, and Bost went on a week’s tour playing Oklahoma University, Wichita Junior College, University of Oklahoma City, Austin College of Sherman and T. W. C. of Fort Worth. A return match with the Daniel Baker linksmen resulted in another vic- tory for the local collegians.

The journalistic qualities were recognized when the paper placed number two in The Texas Intercollegiate Press Association contests. Such a ranking in such competition is quite an accomplishment and places McMurry above some rather large schools. It has been the policy of the editor throughout the year to give the stu- dents a well balanced newspaper with a complete coverage of all campus news, a constructive editorial policy, and interesting weekly features and col- umns that added to the attractiveness of the paper. An effort was made throughout the year to cover equally all organizations and departmental activities, and if at any time this aim has not been accom- plished. the staff offers its apologies, for no one was intentionally slighted. When it was said that all activities were covered, it was literally that very thing. “In The Pow Wow missed no scandalous act or thought, and a great deal of unsolicited free publicity was given most students through this channel at some time throughout the year. The editor and manager take this opportunity to thank all those who have made this publication possible and especially, Miss Julia Luker for her invaluable and never failing guidance.

This year for the second time all the students have received books and have had their pictures made. An experiment was put into effect two years ago, and all cost for the year book was included in the student activity fee at the time the student en- tered school. This is the complete record of the school year. The editor wishes to thank the entire student body for its interest and co- operation in carrying the experiment out so successfully a second year and proving its practicability. All the editor has done is put together the mate- rial you have made possible. Kspecial thanks go to J. Y. Phillips who has sat at a typewriter far into the night many times in the assisting of the editor in completing this book. The purpose of the book is to portray the life on McMurry campus, and to put into compact form a reflection of the campus, the life, tin faculty, the activities, and the students; and to put them all in a permanent form in as attractive a manner as possible. The editor is not satisfied with this book—it is too full of flaws and weak- nesses which he now more clearly sees. It is the sincere wish that following staffs may profit by these and the sooner correct them and build bigger and better books as a result.

At the beginning of the year, the club sponsors and organizes the Scribblers Club, made up of freshmen who are interested in such work. Then those who get five thousand words pub- lished in one of the major publications or puts in sixty hours work on the business staff are admitted to the Press Club. The first Monday of each month, the club meets at noon for a “Coffee House” at which the members lunch and discuss matters of literary interest. May 8, in the Wooten Hotel, the annual banquet was held—this one naming Miss Julia Luker as the honor guest in recognition of her tireless efforts sponsoring publications of a long period of years.

At the opening meeting, under the direction of a committee of the Press Club. -Alary K. Aiken was elected president, and Miss Julia Luker was again maintained as club sponsor. Among those joining were a great number of students who had a great deal of experience on high school publications, so the group fell right into the program of publications and have made an out- standing record. This year has seen more Scribblers meet the requirements and become members of the Press Club than in any other year in the memory of the editor. They are to be congratulated. It was from this group that a large por- tion of the Galleon material was gleaned: and it is known that it again placed first in the magazine contest. . •«•11111 Aiken Carter Perry Spuilhi Uk-kmll Vnushn Ouv.il (•‘nnniiiK Curler StnUlath l-inmlown Cantnvr 1 :i kl« y Pa I TAGE AND PLATFORM Ml MIT WSI-T.S OITK’KKS I' KKN Jackson...........................................President Maktha Jay Chilokkss................................Drum Major .

It is indicative of high standing in the school to he a member of the or- ganization. Kach year the group dresses in uniform for all athletic trips and ball games. This year the group made the trip and went over big at the Cen- tennial. The trip was also made to Brown wood. The Wall Wahtaysees have done much to maintain and carry on the Indian traditions on tin Reservation, and expression of such is the 25-foot Totem Pole standing on the northwest side of the campus with burned inscriptions of all the outstanding achievements and warriors since the opening of school. This year another pole has been ordered from an Indian tribe in Alaska t grace the campus between the Ad building and Hunt Hall—in the heart of the reservation. Under the sponsorship of the ever-inventive Willie Mae Christopher, the organization is the livest on the campus. l-'ruMI.. IV.iIS.ivlu i ii I'lullli . IVliii.ii. Until . Jnrk ii.

With Leonard King doing quite a bit of the arranging, the football and basketball seasons presented a snap- py, peppy, band with plenty of comedy, swing, and fire. The band made the special train trip to the Texas Centennial in October where they paraded, broadcast from the Gulf Radio Studios, played for the Austin College ball game, and had an excellent time on the side. In the way of football trips, another was made to Brownwood to the Daniel Baker game. Through the basketball season novelty arrangements and pantomime on the side afforded the spectators as much entertainment as the performance on the floor. With the coming of spring, the band sponsored the PIGSKIN REVUE presented by the Southwestern University swing band under Tom Johnson. It was a whale of a success—a stampede of college humor, music, and fun. 15 VI I .

Holt.........................Vice-President Robbie: Lee Myers.......................Secretary Fern Jackson --------- Reporter The Thespian Dramatic Club is the “plus belle societe” on the campus at McMurry. The club survives chiefly for the production and development of dramatic works for entertainment and contest, seeking also to fertilize the growth of its members into well seasoned amateur actors, hoping that some one from its ranks might some day find Broadway or Hollywood fit for then- talents, as well as to be very useful in later life as a side-line. After the try-outs in the fall, the social side of the organization was launched with the annual “Pot-Latch” in the Colonial Ballroom of the Wooten Hotel. Try-outs are open to all students who can satisfy the requirements of a try-out committee. Try-outs are held twice yearly. Outside of a great number of one-act plays, the major production of the year was Henrick Ibsen’s famous play, “Hedda Gabler.” Frances North- cutt took the lead to turn in a wonderful performance as Hedda. Under the sponsorship of Richard Flowers, the club began a complete reorganization to lay the foundation for future progress on a bigger basis in the club. ft i (1 ft t ft A It AM ft ft Nesmith Parrish Joins Bryant Birch Couch Slone Smith Martin Nixon Hamhlcn Schulze Jackson Holt Jackson Curry Childress Mahon Cop page Owens Hamilton Allen Cooper Hooks Gilmore Jameson Cantner Todd Finley Harris Touchstone Terry Pound Jordan Glasgow Boyd Page 127 KlI.r.VTKN'K MOItTMN AUI'.’V mri.iiu M.-lt VK I.Y I.Kg I’AI.M Kit '•'«'liliHI.I.

Higher scholarship and refined standards are perpetuated as fundamental and necessary ideas. Among the outstanding social activities for the year was the initiation ceremony in the early spring at the Woman’s Club. The Woman’s Club was also the scene of an afternoon tea held for Jerome Rappaport, noted pianist. An evening garden party was sponsored by the club. Being a new club, plans for the future have been the main objectives for this year’s work. Under the excellent sponsorship of Miss Beth Myatt. the club has had a good beginning. t'i i|NT IhirriK .Minii;«-r I l.-y Smilli T«u«'lit(.loiw Morrison Miracle Muswr Boger St «-wins Page 134 k() SARI OFFICERS J.

W. E. Heston - -- -- -- -- Sponsor Ko Sari made its debut during: the year 1937. Its members recognize that social activities and social development share an unusual place in increas- ing the enrollment, broadening the individual, and educating the student in the art of living with other people. Realizing that McMurry had grown large enough to need another social club on the campus, eight charter members worked to fill the need; and so J. W. Phillips, J. B. Jordan, Ford Allen. Neil Daniel, Nuinez Wischkaemper, George Campbell, Dale Johnson, and Bob Long organized under the sponsor- ship of Dr. Heston. The custom was established to have an annual “Formal”. It had its ap- pointments this year centered about the Coronation of George the Sixth and was called the “Crowning event” of the year. Each year the members of Ko Sari leave to McMurry a gift. This small token displays their appreciation for the institution where the members spend so many happy hours.

Other programs have consisted of those set aside for special days. The club has also presented two chapel programs. The Sigma Lambda Kappa society holds membership in the City, Dis- trict, and State Federation of Women’s Clubs. Delegates were sent to the state meeting in San Antonio, and three to the Sixth district meeting in Brady, where they participated in the program for juniors. Major social entertainments have been joint affairs with the Alpha Theta Xu society—the celebration of the fourteenth anniversay of both clubs, a Christmas party, and an all-college Si. Patrick party honoring the seniors. The senior girls, according to tradition, were honoreesof the last social func- tion of the year. Climaxing the year, the senior members were awarded diplomas of ser- vice in an open meeting.

Polk The Alpha Theta Nu Literary Society was organized the first year of the college, and it has become a member of the State Philo Phila Confedera- tion and the Federated Woman’s Club. In all activities the girls strive to live up to their name Philo, which means friendship. Social activities for the year included a Philo-Ero Tea at the Hilton Hotel in October; the Annual Installation; and the Initiation Tea at the home of Miss Tate in November; open house for exes at the Museum during Homecoming; a Philo-Ero Christmas party in the home of Mrs. Sam Cox; a Valentine party; an All-College St. Patrick’s party co-operating with the Eros; a dinner hon- oring the seniors, and a week-end ranch party. In November two delegates were sent to the Texas Federation of Woman’s Clubs state meeting at San Antonio, and in April two delegates attended the Sixth District Federation at Brady. Topics concerning the various departments of a federated club were stud- ied during the year, and also a study of Texas poets was followed. Three dis- tinguished speakers were guests of the club during the year.

B. Jordan..........................................Reporter The Language club was organizer! in 1933 as the Spanish Club, but at the beginning of the year 1935, the Spanish Club was combined with the other foreign language clubs, and is now known as the Language club. The club members voted to keep the original name of the club—El Circulo Woussicket. The chief objective of the club this year was to bring a more cooperative spirit about between the three Abilene colleges. Too. it creates more inter- est in foreign languages and causes the students to do more effective work in the respective language classes. The social calendar for the year 193(5-1937 consisted of a theatre party for the picture “Romona”: and a number of picnics and parties throughout the year: and meetings where there were guest speakers from Abilene Christian College and Hard in-Simmons University. Plans are being formulated to make the club a chapter of the Interna- tional Relations Club of Texas. T.al • 'ampliOI ■Miiii-i ToUt'liMinic M., .

Burman and Heston...............................Sponsors All the students who this year were planning to major or minor in Science organized the club in the beginning of the year. The purpose of the club was to have an organization, outside of classwork that would be made up purely of those who were really interested in the various phases of science, and to be able to secure additional information through the club's sponsoring lectures by specialists. In December Dr. Pickard, a noted Abilene obstetrician, gave a very in- teresting lecture to the club on the subject, “Superstitions and Taboos Con- cerning Childbirth.” In March a demonstration of “liquid air was given by a chemist who had specialized along that line. Field trips, tours of inspection, and other informative projects made up the rest of the activities of this new club.

Its purpose is to encourage and give recognition to scholarship on the campus. It is a part of the Scholarship Societies of the South. On February 5, as is its yearly custom, the club gave a program tea for students on the honor roll in the Voice Studio on the campus. Other social events of the year have been an initiation tea at the Wooten Hotel, Novem- ber 20, at which an alumni chapter with Ashby Smith as president was or- ganized: a reception with the chapters in the other Abilene colleges in the spring: and meeting in which outstanding speakers were presented. Alpha Chi is a society corresponding to Phi Beta Kappa in heavily en- dowed institutions. Miss Julia Luker, local sponsor, last year was elected as president of the regional organization. She presided at the convention held in Canyon April 30 to May 1, to which meeting delegates from the local chapter were sent. WMMWr I |£ton While Itryant Xthnrt I‘aimer lire,Wlw-hknrmjK'r Ricluinlw !

This is an infant club—ibis year being ils first of existence. The general purposes of the club are very constructive. In the first place, it brings together students who have something in common a long wav from home. Then in a social way. they have banded themselves together to enjoy picnics and Other types of social activity. Then again in the more serious way. the club has another purpose, the promoting of interest in M« Murry in our neighbor slate from which McMurry now is ! eginning to draw in a larger measure. With the opening of the McMurry in the Sacramento mountains in New Mexico for the slimmer school, the club takes oil new meaning and renewed interest in il- more widespread activity. Another very constructive project of the organization, is the securing for the school ami student association Indian relics and decorations to aid the spirit on the campus. Plans have Ihtii made to secure Indian tom-toms for the traditional freshman night before the homecoming game.
