Another year has passed; another milestone reached. Gcals, ambitions, and ideals have been realized. It is my pleasure to acknowl- edge them. Let me thank the members of the Board of Trus- tees for the time, thought, and earnest endeavor they have given in behalf of the college. I am grateful to the members of the faculty for their un- tiring efforts in the interest of the students. I deeply appreciate the fine spirit of the student body. The cooperation given the administration by this group has enabled us to complete a most remarkable year. To those of you who go out from these halls, some never to return as students, let me quote these lines from Henry Van Dyke. Therein, is a good philoso- phy of life: Four things a man must learn to do If he would make his record true: To think without confusion clearly; To love his fellow-men sincerely To act from honest motives purely To trust in God and Heaven securely. drank £.

To those of you who have helped, even though it may have been only in a small way. the editor wishes to thank you for your hearty cooperation in making this book possible. Cooperation is one thing the Totem must have, yet it is the hardest thing to get and the most appreciated. To those of you that the editor has intimidated while he was trying to get your pictures made, he wishes to take this opportunity to make apologies and in any way possible make amends for all the trouble he has caused you. To those of you whom the editor has of- fended in any way whatsoever, in his efforts to make a better book, if these people will call in person he will make any kind of adjustments as may be within his power. The editor is not satisfied with this book. It is too full of flaws and weaknesses which he now more clearly sees. It is the sincere wish that following staffs may profit by these and the sooner correct them and as a result build bigger and better books.

War Whoop An effort to make the War Whoop appealing to the students, faculty, and adminis- tration has been the main purpose of the editor and staff. The staff has attempted to mix the sober with the humorous to make an interesting combination. More features than usual have been used this year in order to include many names and incidents relative to the student body of McMurry. New to the War Whoop was a regular fashion column written by Nelle Smith and the weekly feature As A Student Thinks.” by D'Rhea Allison. The Scribblers also maintained a separate column throughout the year. Regular columnists other than these were Mar- garet Barton, who wrote Arrow Points and the Tic and Toe series, and Miss Jewel Posey, who kept up with the exes in her column about Our Exes, and Eldridge Trott, who was sports columnist and sports editor. The editor, Willie Wilhite, and Business Manager. Lavon Baker, take this opportu- nity to publicly express their sincere thanks to the members of the staff and Miss Julia Luker for their exceptionally fine cooperation and support.

Second semester: Margaret Barton, editor; Clarence Collins, business manager; Bill Barton and Billie Blanche Smith, artists. The ,,Galleon.'' our semi-annual literary magazine, is the only McMurry publication that offers free scope for the creative talents of the students. It well fulfills its two-fold function of discovering writing talent and encouraging student writers. The theme of the December Galleon” was Democracy, the Last Stronghold of Relig- ion, and emphasis was placed on the American way of life and the need of religion, if our democracy is to be preserved. The March Galleon” had for its theme The Melting Pot of the Southwest” and strove to present a picture of every stratum of life in the Southwest from shadowy Indian legends to life in a vigorous modern Southwestern city, showing how these various types of life are being gradually blended into a unit. Special efforts were made to attract new writers from the student body. Contributors were: LaVerne Williams, Elvin Mathis, Billy Scoggin, Mary Elizabeth Butler, Pauline Morris. Florynne Hitchcock, Melvin Mathis, Gerald Anderson. Dick An- tilley, Billy Knoy, Sonny Bentley, Louise Spiegelmire. Eva Mae Coffman. Willie Wilhite. Jack Holden, Roma Reagan Conner.

MINISTERI l. FORI M The Ministerial Forum is an organization composed of all the Ministerial students on the campus. During the past fourteen years its object has been to acquaint the members with their future tasks, to promote a genuine fellowship among its members, and to assist with religious services in the churches of the vicinity and for the student body. Numerous discussions and lectures were held during the semesters to acquaint the members with the various problems that will arise later on in their ministry. The Forum has various socials for the year and holds an annual banquet. During the first semester the Forum had twenty-six members, six of whom had some definite work serving charges near Abilene. The remaining members are always eager to fill pulpits in the absence of regular pastors. Officers first semester: President. Royce Womack; Vice-President.

Morrison, professor of history, government lecturer, friend of the student —but known best of all as Chief of the Tribe. Chief Morrison spent his second year as head coach on the Reservation in hard toil attempting to give a sophomore team the needed experience to win a champion- ship. And judging by results shown in sev- eral of this season's games the two years hard work may be brought to a climax with- in the next year. Coach Morrison has re- mained cheerful and patient throughout all hardships, a leader looked to with respect by athletes of both court and gridiron. COACH DALE MORRISON Elmo Cure, graduate from McMurry. was one of two assistant coaches. Be- fore leaving the reservation in 1938. Cure lettered three years as center for the Tribe. From McMurry he went to Weinert where he held the position of Head Coach. Elmo Cure was brought back to the Reservation at the start of the season and after arriving fashioned a line that granted few equals in the Texas Conference. The new position of student coach was ably filled by Ralph Hinton. The young coach came to McMurry fresh from an outstanding athletic career in Vanderbilt, where he starred in both baseball and football. He was of im- measurable aid to Chief Morrison. Ralph Hinton not only made a name for himself as a coach, but also as a student to be respected by fellow stu- dents. ELMO CURE RALPH HINTON BUCK MUNDY BUD WHEELER GERALD ANDERSON EARL CARTER J. E.

McMurry took a step upward from the doldrums with its best team in three years. Despite the fact that the Redskins won exactly the same number of games as the clubs of the past two seasons -one—it did show a clearly marked superiority over its predecessors. Strike out two performances which mark McMurry's lowest ebb in athletic history and you have a club which, even though beaten numer- ous times, was never outplayed. The squad battled the toughest and the weakest on equal footing, in the face of injuries, bad breaks and a wornout bus. The Tribe started the season as an inexperienced club featuring sophomores at key positions, and rolled through the schedule, gathering momentum as it advanced until in the final game of the season it won a moral victory by losing 6 to 0 to our bitter enemies and the Co-Champions. Abilene Christian College. The Redskins opened the schedule with their toughest competition of the season. West Texas State Teachers. The Scalpers, in holding the strong Teachers College to a 20 to 0 win, threw up one of the stoutest linebacking combinations that the Methodists have seen. Gilliam Stovall and Bud Wheeler stopped numerous touchdown drives, and it was only after Wheeler was forced to leave the game that the Canyonites scored. Aiding in the outstanding defense thrown up by McMurry was punting by Buck Mundy. The In- dians were able to look back on the game and gain consolation in the fact that they were playing what was later to be champions of the tough Alamo Conference. Chief Morrison's proteges lost their second start of the season to Southwestern Okla- homa Teachers. Again they threw up a terrific defense but their offense went to the ex- treme and as a result they trailed on the small end of a 7 to 0 score. Big Buck Mundy's superb punting was the feature of this match, averaging 45 yards to the try. The Teach- ers were forced to score in the last two minutes of play to win. REX KEMP Bight Guard 185 lbs.

FOOTBALL McMurry opened the Conference season at Waxahachie with a continuation of what was by then an old story. Big defense and little offense threw the Braves for another loss, to the tune of 13 to 0. But the Indians did make a marked improvement in offensive ges- tures over both previous contests. The Trinity Tigers were forced to fight every inch for their 13 points, due to great line play by the Tribe. McMurry's most serious scoring at- tempt bogged down on the Trinity 12 yard line. One of McMurry's saddest stories was entered on the athletic annals at Fort Worth. October 11. The T. W. C. Rams at Farrington field completely and thoroughly crushed the Reservation representatives with a 47 to 6 score. Lightweight Ruel Hoffman led the Rams in their part of the rout by personally scoring four touchdowns and accounting for another by the pass method. The only gleam of light for the Methodists in this dark hour came in the pass Work of a freshman from Aspermont, Jim Baugh, who completed five of eight tosses. Buck Mundy plunged 22 yards for the lonesome score. FRAZIER DAMRON Guard 195 lbs. CHIEF WORDEN Center 190 lbs. LEO HOWARD Back 170 lbs. ROBERT BRUNSON Center 172 lbs. LEFTY MOSS Tackle 200 lbs.

The scores were written in black, bold letters. The Indians must surely have reached the bottom of their athletic career in suffering this disastrous loss to the Howard Payne Yellow Jackets in Medley Stadium. A glance back over the records of the game shows no outstanding player for the Indians in this dark episode. It would be best to pass over this affair by mentioning that Howard Payne added another to her long string of victories and ties at the expense of the Redskins. Johnny Walker, freshman from Loraine, set off the fireworks that won the only game of the season when he galloped 91 yards for a touchdown on the opening kickoff of a game with Daniel Baker. Buck Mundy and Frazier Damron then continued the victory pa- rade in the biggest offensive show of the season. The two backs plunged and battered the Billie line mercilessly as the Braves went on to win 20 to 0. The last two McMurry touchdowns came on passes, one from Damron to Anderson for eight yards and the other from Baugh to Woods for fifty yards. This game marked the beginning of Frazier Dam- ron's phenomenal line plunging which was to average better than four yards a try for the next two games. BUFORD HOWARD SAM DARBY TOPPY REYNOLDS E. ].

FOOTBALL In one short five minute period the Indians gave their best demonstration of the power they were capable of when they entertained Southwestern University in the Homecom- ing game. Had the Tribe started its display of power two minutes earlier, the score might have ended in favor of the home club instead of a 14 to 13 victory for the Bucca- neers. As it was. Mundy and Damron plunged and fought the team to 13 points in the last five minutes and were within 15 yards of a third score when the whistle blew. Buck Mundy turned in the best game of his career by scoring all 13 points. This Homecoming match was one of the most thrill-packed affairs that has ever been reeled off in Medley Stadium. The Austin Kangaroos broke a three year old jinx that the Indians held over them when they clubbed out a 19 to 7 victory at Sherman. Floyd and Ringgold, two Austin backs, worked together for 342 yards and 19 points as the Hoppers surged over the Red- skins. The Methodist score came on a 63 yard run when Mundy was escorted to pay- dirt by Ellington and Anderson. Bud Wheeler left the game with a badly crushed chest which disabled him from further play for the season. '7 R. L.

C. finished the Conference season. And it was a fitting climax for any season. After a McMurry fumble was recovered by an opponent and turned into a touchdown, the Tribe became rock-firm and blocked out further Wildcat activities. A line, composed of Wylie. Carter, Raymond. Walston, Reynolds, and Anderson, which had functioned in grand fashion throughout the season, turned in its best game to hold the highly touted A. C. C. ground power to one touchdown. Tugboat Jones, fullback on the Little All-American second team, was completely stopped for the first time in his career. With the Indians having to field a badly crippled team, the one-touchdown margin came in the form of an upset for the Wildcats. This victory gave A. C. C. an edge of one game —6 to S, in the all-time series. The last match of the schedule was not so much a football game as it was an attempt to gain publicity. Oklahoma City University won its only game of the season, 21 to 13 with the aid of a twelfth man. a telephone, and its coach. McMurry’s first score came with Mundy carrying the ball, whereas the second resulted on a pass from Damron to Rey- nolds. WILLIS DAMRON GARRETT SHELTON WHEELER BASKETBALL A basketball squad, composed ol eight sophomores two juniors and one senior, gave McMurry her best representative on the hardwood court in four years. By playing their best when the best counted, the Indians were able to tally seven victories against 3even defeats and top the second division of the Texas Conference. The Tomahawkwielders lost their opening series when they visited 'he World's Tallest Team at West Texas State Teach- ers College. Despite heroic work by J. E. Garrett, the Buffaloes let the Indians down by the scores of 74 to 27, and 73 to 36. A tightly played series with San Angelo Junior College com- pleted the non-conference tilts for McMurry. A visit to San Angelo produced a 41 to 40 victory, which was followed by a second win when the Rams played a return engagement at the local gym. T. W. C. opened its drive for Conference championship by dropping in to win 49 to 24 over the Braves, in a game that was never anything but a T. W. C. victory. The Indians continued their home stand by entertaining the Trinity Tigers for two games. With plenty of hustle and good basketwork by Bobby Morrison, the Tigers were taken into camp in the first match, 28 to 23. The Tribe was definitely off its shooting form the following night and. despite another nice job by Bobby Morrison, lost 48 to 36. The quintet journeyed across town for its next match and lost to the Wildcats. 49 to 24. There was never any doubt as to the outcome of the game with Reese leading the victors by scoring 16 points. Porter Willis came fourth with his best form of the season in a two game series with Austin College mother home affair. Willis, star forward for the club, racked up 32 points for his share in the two games as he led McMurry to a double victory. Scores were 35 to 28, and 48 to 29. DOTY WATSON WOOD MORRISON SHEPPARD BASKKTBALL A C. C. came across town to prove that thetr first victory over McMurry was the real McCoy by winning 51 to 31. The Redskins were unable to cope with the accurate shooting of Reese and Bennett tn addition to fine Wildcat teamwork. Gar- rett led his club In their loss with 13 points. McMurry worked as a well-oiled unit in beating Daniel Baker 44 to 25 in a home match. No one man was outstanding for the Tribe in this victory. The home club took a severe beating from a second represen- tative of Brown wood the following night, when Howard Payne won 53 to 26. The Methodists held the Baptists down for the first half of the game, but All-Conference Roland Warren scored 15 points to lead his club to victory in the second half. R. M. Medley and his Pirates made their second trip ol the year to his former school, where they took a double loss. Levi'' Garrett and Porter Willis led the tribe in its two triumphs, by the score of 39 to 29. and 38 to 35. At Fort Worth the Indians took their biggest loss of the basket- ball schedule when the T. W. C. Rams handed them a 61 to 19 licking. McMurry was handicapped by the absence of Damron and Garrett. The season was completed when we went to Brown wood for games with Daniel Baker and Howard Payne. Bobby Morrison turned in his best game of the season when he looped 1? points against Daniel Baker as the Tribe won 42 to 36. In this same game Morrison continued the form which made him one of the best ball-hawkers in the conference. Two nights later a game with Howard Payne was featured by sensational point- tabbing of Roland Warren when he poured in 30 points to lead the Yellow Jackets to a 62 to 44 win. Willis� Shelton Tumes Doty Ellington Walkc-r McCully Hinton Green Wheeler Gann Simmons Jones Sigman BASEBALL After remaining in the athletic dumps three years, it remained for Coach Willis and some ten or eleven boys to bring the victory flag home to the reservation. Coach R. L. Willis started the spring sport with a team that showed power and experience at all positions. But this fine team dwindled and wilted until there was a doubt that McMurry would be able to enter a team in the City League. However, Coach Willis took the remainder of the club, worked patiently with its weakness and inexperience and fashioned a club that led the League with nine victories and three losses and drew a slot in the playoff. The team which carried the victory hopes of Indian fans to well had power at the plate, power in the pitcher's box and one of the best outfields in West Texas. The Tribe was shackled by weak infield play in the earlier half of the race, but as the season wore on this part of the club became proficient to the extent of handling its share of the outs. There were at least five Braves who hit the ball for better than a .300 clip. Lead- ing this group was first baseman Bud Wheeler with a magnificent average of .482. The remainder of this select group consisted of Simmons, Green, Walker, and Gann. When it seemed that Coach Willis must quit due to lack of hurling, he discovered a man who developed into one of the best pitchers in the league. Tennessee'' Bob Shelton had only one loss charged to him, when he was beaten by the 120th Medics 2 to 1. His masterpiece came when he defeated A. C. C. 7 to 6, while striking out 24 Wildcats. SIMMONS WHEELER IONES BASEBALL McMurry over the regular season was defeated once each by the 120th Medics. 158th infantry, and the State Hospital. Hardin-Simmons and Abilene Christian were unable to field a club that could cope with Mclndian hitting and pitching. The high- light of the season came when the Tribe defeated A. C. C. three times by scores of 4 to 2, 7 to 6, and 6 to 4. These victories went a long ways toward gaining revenge for previous defeats suffered at the hands of the Wildcats. McMurry cut loose with her best show of power against H.-S. U., May 10, at Lunday Field. They rattled 20 hits and 18 runs off three Cowboy pitchers, while Bob Shelton was holding the Ranchers to 4 hits and 3 runs. The playoff presents a perfect setting with the two traditional rivals, McMurry and A. C. C. facing each other. McMurry won the first game in one of the tightest matches that could have been played. The Indians, with Bob Shelton on the mound, collected 2 runs off 3 hits while Shelton handcuffed the Wildcats to 1 run off 5 hits. Although Shelton was in trouble several times, he was given the best support that the club has given him all season. The infield play was errorless and the outfield came up with sparkling catches time after time. The very closeness of the tilt was typical of the rivalry of the two teams. The Indians continued this good playing to become the champions. WOMEN’S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Women's Athletic Association was organized to over-ride the idea that girls on the McMurry campus should be eliminated from various forms of active sports. The purpose of the W. A. A. is: to build up healthy bodies and arouse interest in all forms of outdoor activities; and to teach girls activities which they can use in their extra hours now and after school days. Fine results have been obtained from the foundation W. A. A. girls have received this year. It is highly probable that various outstanding athletic groups will be built from the fine material that was developed this season. Our calendar consisted of a theater party, an annual banquet, intercol- legiate contest as well as intramuial contests in all forms of sports. School letters were awarded to twenty girls for obtaining 30 hours in at least tv o sports.

Their bills are about what they’ve always been, but today they get from twice to three or four times as much Electric Service for their money.
