I foTeM will be PL€ASet At )0 ★ YOU, the student body, the backbone of the nation, on whom the survival of democracy depends; the protection of mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters; the defenders of the nation against oppression; you, who can and will prevent invaders from ever touching The Land of the free, And the home of the brave . mOU SlNHQISHHd STADIUM FRANK L TURNER PRESIDENT With this Commencement, we mark another Mile-stone. Now a Mile-stone not only denotes distance; it indicates direction. Let us pause long enough to get the per- spective. To a considerable number, this Mile-stone” marks their graduation from col- lege; their Commencement ol the task of larger, more purposeful living. No class ever faced a greater challenge; no class ever faced a larger opportunity. To these graduates. I would suggest as a philosophy of life: Give to the world the best that you have, and the best will come back to you. w To the underclassmen, this Mile-stone denotes progress toward a goal. Remem- ber, you have not arrived; you are just in transit. Let me remind you of the danger of in- difference: I started right, my race was well begun. When you bade sprite, the child of night Said, 'Your race is nearly done'. So I forbore to run, and lost in sight, The race I might have won. The most unforgiveable sin in this day of stress and strain is the sin of mediocrity. That each one may realize that Life is real! Life is earnest! and the grave is not its goal, is the sincere wish of Your president, FRANK L. TURNER. O. P. THRANE VICE-PRESIDENT AND BURSAR Notwithstanding its problems and challenges, the past year has been, in many ways, one of our best. My association with the students, faculty and ad- ministration has been most delightful. You are a splendid group with whom to work and my best wishes will follow each of you wherever you go. Sincerely, O. P. THRANE. w. b. McDaniel DEAN As we come to the close ol this school year we iind our nation again in the throes of a world conflict. With the call of the armed forces to the boys and the increased oppor- tunities for girls in industry, many of you who do not graduate will be tempted to drop out of college. To you of this group my last admonition is by all means to continue your college education. Due to the present trend toward streamlined curricula, you can. with more concentrated effort, get your degree in a much shorter time than you may have originally planned. Some one has said: In time of peace prepare for war. I sug- gest In time of war prepare for peace. When this conflict is over our nation will be needing great men and great women, who have been properly prepared, to lead us out ol the chaos brought about by a war more destructive than any in the history of man. The armed forces need trained men for officer material, and the best place to get this training is in college. This is best exemplified by the present programs of the Navy and Marines which allow college students to enlist in certain branches of service and yet remain in school until after graduation. To the girls- the grand opportunities now tempting you will be much grander and much easier to secure after you have a college degree. So. to the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, I urge that you continue your college education in so far as is possible until you have your degree. To the seniors and the others who do not return to McMurry, I implore you to con- tinue to learn. The mind is like a muscle. It grows strong with use and weak with dis- use. Determine in your heart that you will exercise your mind every day. This, coupled with a creed that places God and others first, will make life really worth living. w. b. McDaniel.

Secretary The EXTENSION DEPARTMENT seeks to give sincere service in meeting the educational needs of those who cannot attend college in the regular way. Through night classes. Saturday classes, and correspondence study, many persons have acquired an education while they held full-time positions. The selection of Elizabeth H. Millerman as Secretary to the department was made necessary be- cause the Director, Lois G. Morrison, assumed the additional duty of public relations work. With Mrs. Millerman’s close supervision, the department has been able to accelerate the service to business and professional people. Seeking to meet the immediate needs of the Government a Special Defense Course (above) in stenography was organized during the Spring Semester. In cooperation with the State Department of Education a course was offered in Teaching Conversational Spanish to Children. A special class for adults was given in Conversational Spanish for those expecting to see military service in Spanish speaking countries. Several of those who enrolled are now in such countries. The EXTENSION DEPARTMENT invites suggestions in regard to increased usefulness. ★ QUEEN FRANCES I.AWLIS FOOTBALL QUEEN RONE!.

FOOTBALL With a veteran squad of lettermen and a promising group of newcomers, the McMurry In dians had their best campaign since 1937. Working diligently every afternoon, Coaches Dale N. Morrison and J. H. Conger put a team on the field that let the opposition know that it had been in a hard fought football scrap. Although most of tho boys have heard the call to the colors, those that remain are going to carry on where their teammates left off. Displaying a never say die spirit, the In- dians started a move to improve the athletic standing of McMurry, and did a bang-up job of it by winning over half of their games. They also had the pleasure of knowing that they played every team a close game and did not take a humiliating defeat for the whole season. The game that proved most thrilling and will be remembered for years to come was the contest with the Army that saw the Indians take a hair- raiser 13-12. Coaches Morrison and Conger started to work making up plays. Working off the well known T formation they rounded out a club that fooled the opposition with deception and plays that are often used by big time teams. The Indians invited the Eastern New Mexico Greyhounds to Abilene for their first game. In the first game under the lights given by students and exes, the McMurry Indians trampled the Greyhounds 33 0 to open the season. Scoring at will, the Tribe unleashed an attack that started late in the first quarter. The Greyhounds did well to stay on the field with the victorious Braves. Dale N. Morrison Coach Dale N. Morrison in his third year as head coach of football on the reservation guided the War- riors to a better than average season. With his untiring efforts and patience to work with the mate- rial on hand, he became a real inspiration to the boys that worked diligently with him every after- noon. Always stressing the fact that manhood is developed in work and play, Chief has gathered one of the cleanest groups of athletes ever to enter a college. Coach Morrison has remained cheerful and pa- tient throughout all hardships, a leader looked to with respect by athletes and students on the grid- iron and in the classroom. J. H. Conger Coming from Purcell, Oklahoma, Coach J. H. Con- ger brought an enviable record with him from his sixteen years as coach of athletics in the Sooner State city. Having a football team that was among the top ten schools of the state, Conger hardly knows the word lose. Taking the freshmen each afternoon he devel- oped a team that put up strong opposition to the varsity men in scrimmages. Succeeding Mr. Morrison as mentor of basketball the likeable new coach drilled fundamentals of the game into the boys and with most of them returning next year to McMurry they will undoubtedly be a power that will be dreaded by the opposition. 'i ELL LEADERS Bringing back into the student body a new interest in school affairs, reviving the old school spirit, Kenneth Day, head yell leader, and his assistants. James Tinkle and Milton Reese brought a new era to the campus. Night pep rallies were introduced, the band and student body coop- erated and football wins were more numerous than in the years, before. Gene McGehee proved an able substitute for Tinkle during the latter’s illness.

Wildcats went two games up on McMurry in the twelve games played by defeat- ing the Indians 20 to 6. A. C. C. has won seven of the tussles played. Led by Buster Dixon, a funlor from Ennis, Texas, the crippled Cats made a point a minute for the first twenty minutes, but were checked there and threat- ened only twice after that. The first touchdown came on the eighth play of the game when Dixon lateraled to Bow Mooney who ran 26 yards un- touched for the tally. After McMurry kicked out to the Christians' Dixon, he took it on a dead run and brought it back to the seven yard line before being hauled down. Three plays later, Dixon carried the pigskin over and converted the extra point from placement. Intercepting a pass on the mtd-field stripe, the Cats took the ball and in successive plays drove over for the third touchdown for the day. The try for point was good and the Cats playing on their home field led 20-0. Bob Shelton made a terrific tackle in the last frame and took the fumbled ball in the air and ran 46 steps for the Braves' only score.

'41 FOOT Entertaining a sister institution from Fort Worth, the Abilon- ians became careless with their pass defense and lost their second conference game 25-6 to Texas Wesleyan College. Demonstrating their best defensive game of the year, the Redskins went calling on the Howard Payne Yellow Jackets at Brownwood. Stopping several scoring threats, the Maroon and White finally succumbed 160 under the Intense pressure. Making a comeback the following week, the Hatchet-Swing- ers clashed with an inexperienced Trinity University club. Led by A1 Simmons, who kept the locals out of trouble all night by his superior kicking and brilliant punt returns, Me- Murry broke into the win column with a 6-0 victory that came when Bud Wheeler skirted over left tackle for eleven yards in mud up to his knees.

Journeying to Georgetown to offer competition for the South- western annual Homecoming game, the Morrison men pro- vided a thriller for the exes that will long be remembered. The Buccaneers held a 13-6 lead with seconds to go and the ball in their possession. Then on a fumble. Levi Garrett recovered for the guests. On the first play Clifton Beasley shot an aerial to Johnny Walker in the flat who tallied without being touched. Dillard Adair nervously entered the game and added the point to gain a tie and ruin the otherwi.e perfect day for the Sputh Texans. JOHNNY WALKER Sophomore Back Lettered '40.

McMurry threatened four times in the afternoon's period of play but didn't have the punch to score when the chips were down and lost 6-0. In the third period the host penetrated to the four-yard line. This was the closest they came to pay dirt all afternoon. Perhaps the greatest thrill of a football player's life is to win a game from the Army. During the Thanksgiving holidays, the Camp Barkeley eleven was encountered and defeated in the high school stadium with a score of 13-12.

Little action was seen all afternoon, but the scoring play that netted the winning points was executed perfectly. Ai Simmons laded back and faked a pass to Dillard Adair who had cu’ across the Goldbugs’ secondary. This pulled the Oklahomans out of position. Then Duke Ellington on a dead run took the pass and crossed the goal line untouched. Zoom-Zoom Schultz, a freshman from Cleveland. Tennessee, kept the Bordering State team out of danger late in the game with scintillating runs and heads-up defense play.

H. Conger, the Indians ended in the first division of the Texas Conference standings. Lack of pre-season games hindered the squad tremendously and not until the end of the season did they hit the form that they desired. With only one college practice game behind them when the opening conference tilt approached, the small crew of basketeers traveled to Brownwood to give the Howard Payne Yellow Jackets a hard fought battle, but fell short in the final score, losing 47-42. T. W. C. from Fort Worth visited the local field-house foui nights later and stunned the Braves with a close guarding defense and gained a quick lead that was never lost. After the first ten minutes, the Tribe equalled the visiting Methodists point for point, but could not overcome the blitzkrieg lead. As HARRY SOLADAY a result, the final score read: T. W. C. 58. McMurry 32. Forward Taking advantage of playing on the home court, the War- riors took a fast lead on the visiting A. C. C. Wildcats. Leading by six points three minutes before half-time, the Cats slipped up on the South Siders and tied the score at 21-21 as the rest period v histle blew. After the intermission, the Purple and White gradually slipped away and won the thriller 45-38. After losing three games to pre-season favorites, the West Texans encountered the T. W. C. Rams for the second time. With two of the first string men on the bench with injuries, the visitors succumbed 36-22. Crashing the win column for the first win, the Abilenian3 trounced Daniel Baker College 51-37. D. B. C. was in the ball game for about ten minutes, but when Porter Willis started PORTER WILLIS shooting his pet one-handed shot from all over the court, the Center Billies could not stand the pace. J. E. Garrett Good natured, easy going J. E. Garret� , a three-year basketball letterman was selected by his teammates as honorary captain for the year. The boy from Anson gave a splendid ac- count of himself as captain and player for the year. Keeping a cool head at all times, he was well qualified to handle the responsible position he held. BASKETBALL Hoping to increase their percentage, the Conger-coached men took to the road and lost a heart breaker to the Southwestern University Pirates. With only two minutes to go, the visitors cut the Bucs' lead to three points, but a rally by the Georgetown Methodists proved fatal, and McMurry lost 41-36. On the next night, which was Friday the 13th. the visitors gave the Hosts their first defeat in their new gymnasium. Frazier Damron made 14 points and the game ended with McMurry winning 38-29. In a return engagement, the Howard Payne Yellow Jackets came to Abilene and received their first loss of the season. McMurry decisioned the Brownwood Baptist institution for the first time in five years. Again Porter Willis saved the night by hitting the bucket at will. The final score of this rough and tumble game was 53-42. Seeking their third straight win, the Hatchet-Swingers went calling on the Wildcats. With a lair full of customers, the Christians scratched the Methodist cagers 43-29. Trying for their second victory over D. B. C. at Brownwood. the Indians went down in defeat 39-36 in the last minute of the game. The Indians defeated the Austin College Kangaroos in a two game series, and ended the season by massacreing the Trinity University Tigers with two top-heavy scores, 59-39, 63-28.

Willis rounded out a team that was rated to end in the playoff and had possibilities of earning the championship for the second consecutive year. Building his team around the curve ball hurling of Bob Shelton, the veteran from Calhoun. Tennessee, Prof. Willis took time and effort to work with the newcomers and de- velop the talent and love for the national pastime they had, and made improved players out of them. Bolstering the team with their prior performances were Shelton. Duke Ellington. Clif- ton Beasley, Dillard Adair, J. E. Garrett, and Frank Turner, Jr. The starting line-up at the beginning of the campaign was J. A. McGehee. catcher; Shelton, pitcher; Leo Howard, first base; Turner, second base; Ellington, third base; Virgil Lawlis, shortstop; Beasley, left field; Maurice Fain, center field; and Adair, right field. Others that met the regular workouts were infielders. Doyle Mathers. Gene McGe- hee, Marion Criswell, and Arthur Wylie. Outfielders were Sam Darby, Ned Kempson, and Baldwin Stribling. Don Raymond was the hustling bat boy and Preston Clark was assistant bat boy. Firsf Row: Marion Criswell, Frank Turner, Jr.. R. B. Young. Guy Kemper. Second Row: Coach Willis, Maurice Fain, R. L.

Interest was taken by more boys and new life was centered on the courts each after- noon. With more daylight after supper, the students made it a habit to play until dark each evening. TRACK With the return of track to the conference athletic program, Coach J. H. Conger took an inexperienced group of boys and developed a squad that represented McMurry high- ly in the different meets that they entered. Most of the boys will be back next year and it is a certainty that the name Mc- Murry will be known throughout the Texas Conference for its ability to participate on the cinders. Bob Shelton. Clifton Beasley, and Gerald Anderson ran for the last time for the In- dians this spring. Porter Willis, Melvin Mathis, Robert Schultz, Harold Simmons, Billy Schultz, Billy Mathis, Doyle Mathers, J. P. Young, and Jack Powell will be entries for Mc- Murry come next spring. ADAIR WILLIS BEASLEY MORRISON GOLF Practicing on the campus and nearby golf courses, four boys took interest in the club and ball game to give McMurry a golf team. Upholding the standards of the past, the contingent played several hotly-contested matches that saw birdies and pars come cheap. Missing from the team next year will be Bobby Morrison and Clifton Beasley. Porter Willis and Dillard Adair will continue to swing the clubs and will give someone a hard fought round for the Texas Conference title. i.

Under the leadership of Mrs. Ellis Ganey, journalism teacher, and Mrs. Finis Mother- shead, publicity director, a whole department of journalism and publicity has been estab- lished. A number of potential journalists have been trained in news-writing, feature writing, editing, and advertising; and their knowledge has been effective in making the War Whoop a better publication. It has been the intention of the members of the War Whoop staff and those connected with the publication for this year to cover the campus news and to present it honestly and without favoritism. Several changes have been made on the official staff this year due to the national defense program and for other reasons. Clarence Collins has served as Editor-in-Chief for the year with Nell Reynolds as his associate. About Our Exes, a column introduced in the War Whoop three years ago by Miss Jewel Posey, English teacher, was published throughout the year. We are also grateful to D. Rhea Allison, mid-term graduate, who supplied a world of events col- umn regularly. Members of the staff appreciate the splendid cooperation received from the journalism stu- dents, students and faculty members of McMurry. THE GALLEON STEWART McGEHEE GALLEON STAFF JO STEWART Editor GENE McGEHEE Artist In 1924, a small bark called The Galleon set sail, piloted by John Knox. It has kept going ever since. The first editors had charge of the War Whoop, the Totem, and the Galleon, but in 1926 it was placed on its own. The Galleon has weathered much criticism, but it has proved its value. Each year it has been entered in the T. I. P. A. contest, where it has won high honors: once, first place in short story, once, first in poetry, and once, the Galleon itself won first place. Last year the volumes were bound and placed in the library. The Galleon is a semi-annual publication. Its purpose is to publish cre- ative writing, such as poetry, short stories, essays, sketches, and one-act plays. This year the March Galleon was entered in the T. I. P. A. Miss Julia Luker, the head of the English department, is the sponsor.

The idea of a more democratic spirit on the campus, of the promotion of friendliness among all groups was behind the formation of the Kiva in the autumn of 1939. As has been the custom since then, the Kiva this year continued active in social functions. The annual banquet was staged in the blueroom of the Hilton Hotel, April 11. with the club members and their guests doing an about face from previous methods of attire. In the past informality reigned supreme, but this time it was the opposite holding sway. The members were clad in tuxedoes and their guests in the usual evening attire. The last of the charter members bid adieu to Kiva. And to them the club as a whole expresses its heartfelt thanks for services in the past and wishes to them success to the utmost in whatever pursuits made in the future. And to Dr. Grady Moore and Dr. Frank Thompson, the club says thank you, in expressing its gratitude for supervision, administered, the club feels, with sincerity of purpose and the spirit of helpfulness.
