Jl. (IuaJwuj, P ieAi( e+itl cJiosne. m I am happy to bring greetings to the faculty, trustees, students and friends of McMurry College in this, the 17th annual publication of the Totem. To the faculty, I wish to express sincere thanks for their labors which are now being rewarded in the graduation of a fine class and the promotion in general of the student body. To the trustees, I am grateful for the time and thought they have given to the college and for their manifest interest. I congratulate the student body on attaining this, another mile-stone in the path of progress. My sincere desire is that they may pursue that path 'till it leads to a goal of success and happiness. My admonition to the Senior Class is: Be good, my friend, and let who will be clever Do noble deeds, not dream them all day long. And so make life, death, and that vast forever One grand sweet song. FRANK L. TURNER, President When a person has gone to college, the general public takes for granted certain achievements oi personality. It presumes the college student, and esi ecia:!y the college graduate, has intelligence and culture. His intelligence is judged by what he reads, what he listens to over the radio, and what he talks about. His entire personality is discounted by errors ol speech or errors of writing. The collegian's culture is judged by his general unselfishness, his consid- eration of his fellow man, and by his knowledge o! the ordinary rules of etiquette as exhibited in his actions. And then the student in the Christian College is further presumed to have an interest in the church activities of his community. Surely we of McMurry College can do no less than meet these expecta- tions and these are some of our wishes for you. Ladies and Gentlemen of McMurry. R. G. BOGER. Dean Heartiest congratulations to each student who has contri- buted in any way to the success of this splendid book. That it may bring you present joy and pleasant memories in the years to come is the earnest wish of your friend, the “ogre of the busi- ness office. O. P.

Sorrel-lopped Wallace Bost, Red to scores of McMurry students, seeks to instill the same aggressive spirit into the hearts of his charges that characterized his play as an Indian. A trudger of the fairways, Bost is rapidly becom- ing one of West Texas' most widely known golfers. When not coaching the McMurry line, he can likely be found in the bookstore or on the fairways more likely the latter. Red was a member of the Class of '37, playing guard and center on the football team.

On a windswept gridiron, sit- uated in the blustery city of Sher- man, the Indians played like champions-to-be, subduing the Austin College Kangaroos. 6 to 2, in clearly demonstrating a su- perior ball club. SHULTS EMERSON WATSON BEASLEY HAMMOCK CARTER FOOTB VLI Strike out that fine perform- ance and you find a campaign studded with anything but four- leaf clover. Injuries, indiffer- ence, and tough breaks all con- tributed to one of the most dis- astrous football seasons that Mc- Murry College has produced. Whereas, the Indians won in their initial game, each outing thereafter found them on the short end of the score. PRITCHARD WYLIE SIMMONS WALSTON KEMP SHEPPARD FOOTftVHr On the dusty floor of Medley stadium the Trinity Tigers un- leashed a bit of Yankee-like of- fensive to trample the Braves, 34 to 12, in the first showing before the homefolk. Featuring the passing and running for Trinity San Miguel, Spanish back field star, the Pres- byterians clearly outshined the Methodists. Frank Weaver and Ben Braly scored touchdowns for McMurry. HOWARD BAIRD RICHARDSON RAYMOND MOSS ADAIR FOOTBALL With hopes riding high for the first win in history over Howard Payne the Tribe invaded Brown- wood. The first quarter found the Indians in front. 6 to 0. Clyde Wood having snared a Bill Em- erson toss for a touchdown. Half- time score favored Howard Payne, 7 to 6. At the finish the Jackets led. 34 to 6. Suffice it is to say, the gory details are omit- ted. LOVVORN DON RAYMOND GRAY YOUNG HUTSON WEAVER bu' St. Edward's, though outplay- ed much of the game, throttled the Indians. 15 to 0. Simmons intercepted a Crusader toss and scampered 75 yards for a touch.'' The score was nulli- fied, however, because of an off- side penalty against the Braves. The next week found the In- dians the vanquished foe of the Southwestern Pirates. It marked the first meeting of R. M. Medley, old Tribal boss, and the Indians. The Old Man won by a 12 to 0 count. The game was played on a field about as navigable as the mine infested North Sea. WILLIAMS REYNOLDS BUNTS MOORE WHEELER ANDERSON KOOTBM.I, Abilene Christian's Wildcats drew abreast of the Indians in the all-time grid rivalry oi the two schools by virtue of a 26 to 0 victory on the purple and white gridiron. The Braves made it a ball game for most of the first half, actually outplaying the Wildcats until Braly, who turned in one of the greatest jobs of line- backing ever seen on a local field, went out near the intermis- sion with a severe head injury. The Christians scored a short time later and led, 6 to 0, at the halftime. PEEK BRALY STOVALL GRAY WOOD GARRETT DAMERON ABBOTT BASKETBALL T garrett watson Reynolds hooper SHULTS MORRISON HOLLIS GRAY Only once during the 1940 basketball season did McMur- ry students and fans have the pleasure of watching the In- dians win a game. That was on the evening of February 7, when the gallant little Tribe trampled Daniel Baker's Hill Billies, 38 to 21. Featuring the play of Hollis (Pinky) Shults and Porter Wil- lis, forwards, the Indians bounded into the lead at the outset and were never head- ed. Three times McMurry won on foreign soil, finishing the campaign with four confer- ence victories against 10 de- feats. The Southwestern Pi- rates, for years the basketball doormats of the circuit, fell twice at Georgetown, losing, 21-20, and 32-30. The Tribe broke even with Austin Col- lege at Sherman, losing, 48- 28, the first night, but coming back to win the final of a two- game series, 50-38. BASKETBALL LLOYD SIMMONS WILLIS WHEELER DAMERON LOVVORM JACKSON HUTSON Mcst exciting contests of the year were waged with Abi- lene Christian and Howard Payne. In the Wigwam the Indians held the upper hand for most of the first half, but ultimately succumbed. 35-27. At the Wildcat lair history re- peated itself in that the Braves were on top until just before the intermission. Final score in this contest favored the Christians, 43-28. Remarkable shooting by Woodrow Jack- son, an angular guard, high- lighted the Tribe's game with the Christians. Jackson also played bril- liantly as the Indians went down before Howard Payne, 45-41, in the McMurry field- house. The game was the Jackets' for the most part, but in the latter stages Jackson waxed warm enough to make the proverbial firecracker re- semble an icycle. The efforts of Jackson and his mates went for naught, however, as the time clock ticked away the fleeting seconds entirely too rapidly. DAY mXtfY ARNOLD EMERSON WATKINS STOVALL Last year the McMurry fairway fa nners came within one stroke of the champion Southwestern Pirates. The conference meet was staged in Aus- tin. the Bucanneer golfers winning ov er a course of which they were exceed- ingly familiar. The Indians along with the Texas Wesleyan Bams were co-favorites in the conference meet held in mid-Ma y at the Abilene country club. Playing on a layout of which they were famil iar accentuated the McMurry chances. Highpoint of pre-conference olay was the showing made at the Sweet- water invitation in April. Coach Wa llace (Red) Bost reached the finals, and in so doing disposed of some of West Texas' most widely known golfing personages. Elmer (Red) Watkins of Pampa and Bill Arnold of Abilene quali- fied for the championship flight. Arnold winning his first round match and Watkins attaining the semi-finals in the consolation bracket. Bill Emerson, Phil Hefley, and Gilliam Stovall, other members of the team, also entered the Sweetwater affair. Golfing success was the most significant feature of McMurry athletics for the 1939-'40 school year. TENNIS V ALSTON SMITH STEAKLEY LONGINO McMurry tennis remained at a standstill. No warmup matches were slated prior to the Texas conference meet, and interest in the court game lagged, if anything, during the school year. Members of the team were Ted Longino, George Steakley, Dayton Walston, Charles Harris and I. A. Smith. The repre- sentatives in the conference meet staged here were not deter- mined until a few days before hand. R. L. Willis, V. B. Haggard and Jackson Lord took turns at coaching the team, none devoting a great deal of time to it. BASEBALL The Indians were accorded an excellent chance of reaching the playoff and winning the same in the city amateur league baseball race. Starting with the speed of a cow pony, and the finesse of a polished boxer, the Indians won their first three games before hitting the skids. After two successive losses, the team braced, however, and was in the fight for the league pennant. Pitching by Big Bill Gray and A1 Simmons featured the club's play. The starting lineup was composed of Bud Wheeler, first base; Frank Turner, second base; David Williams, third base; Roy Baird or Hollis (Doc) Shults, shortstop; Simmons, left field; Campbell Lloyd, center field; and Kv. Smith, Jeff Hooper, Alton McCully or Buster Peek, right field. Tommy Brabham and Red Watkins were utility men. Howard Green was the catcher. Feature of the early season play was a 14-1 victory over the ACC Wildcats. David Williams remained among the top hitters of the entire league throughout the season. Other consistent batsmen were Simmons. Baird, Gray, Turner, Lloyd and Wheeler. 9ti Oust Be we. f uu! You’re Graduating . . . how nice!
