' E hi-l'. 1 QM WEN V , McMurry College is just now entering its greatest period of development. For twenty-one years it has been driving its roots deep into the life soil of this great western empire. lts growth has been one of penetration rather than expansion. lt has lived through difficult days and under adverse circum- stances, and these have put something into her soul that is worth more than buildings and endowment. lt has influenced the lives of hundreds of Young People who are now coming into leadership in this vast territory. lt has been watered and nourished by the prayers and sacrifices of thousands of good Methodist people who have had the vision and understanding of the need of such a College. The time has now come for McMurry College to put forth her branches and to unfold her blossoms. The Methodist Church is convinced that the time for expansion has come. Money will be made available for the needed buildings and equipment, and to undergird it with endowment for future se- curity. God's Spirit has moved upon His Church to do a great and need- ful thing, and it will be done. With the eyes of Faith we see the McMurry College that is to be, and it is one of which we will all be justly proud. cJl7Za'zofc! 670055 l Although the student body this yeorr hos been srndll, due to Worr conditions, the spirit on the cotrnpus has been excellent, ond ectch one of you hots mgde cr vdludble contribution to the cctrnpus life. It has been d distinct privilege to Work with you. Some oi you cis seniors will lectve us this yedr. To you We extend our best Wishes ds you ctssurne the tcrsks of life. lt is our hope thctt the rest of you rnoty be permitted to finish your college Work. We covet for dll of you dn ctbunddnt lite. Sincerely, 0. 279. Ugzczns The advent of this annual means, as usual, the end of an- other school year. While the requirements of a nation at war for two years have stripped the student's program of most of its glamour and fan-fare, when it comes to the final analysis, we have had a good and profitable year together. You have seri- ously and earnestly applied yourselves to the task at hand, and l congratulate you for it. Now, let us look to the future. With the successful comple- tion of the Endowment and Building Fund Campaign, come added responsibilities for the faculty, the student body, and the Alumni. Let us all devote our minds and our energies to the development of a program of post-war education which will place McMurry College among the top ranking colleges and universities in this section of the Nation.

Pianist This year's Wah Wahtaysee Drum and Bugle Corps, though not active as a marching unit, has carried on traditions upholding the true McMurry and Wah Wahtaysee spirit. Wah Wahtaysee builds character, high ideals and promotes enthusi- asm in the student body. This is made possible through its seventeen years oi existence and the capable sponsors hip of Miss Willie Mae Christopher, for whom everyone holds deep respect and love. Activities of the year include: Participation in the Inaugural Ceremon- ies, the Council Fire, selling War Bonds and Stamps, Red Cross knitting, escort- ing the Lions Club in their formal opening of the March oi dimes, Pilgrim- age to Dr. I-lunt's grave, and the Installation Tea in May.

Henceforth there has been very efficient teams that have really carried that pig around on the grid. This ugly rumor seems to have become a reality and made the two-sided subject of male and female a small bit lop-sided, leaning favorably toward the fairer sex. This uneven ratio is shown in the fact that there has been no regular football team this year, but you can't curb the American fighting spirit. In this case the old spirit is being shown around by taking it out on the- pig-skin. il-.1-. . ' ,. I N.- .., Aw- - - . BOYS ATHLETICS l? This tennis game is a matter of give and take.

The Methodist Pageant put on by unit groups of Wesley Players, from the various churches, pictured episodes of Methodism from the time of the Old Rectory in England to the present day in McMurry College. Because of the uncertainty of our boy personnel and the problems caused by the large number of brides, we had to confine our productions primarily to one-act plays. These, however, were numerous and offered quite a variety. Early in the year was the Eighteenth Century group, Strolling Players, St. Patrick's Day. All boy and all girl casts furnished the themes. Broken Wings, writ ten by Mary Arm Murray, gave the war note of the season. Ten minute recitals in the Freshman and Interpretation classes did not phase the stu- dents who responded cheerfully by bringing up memory work of poems and stories, dec- lamations and monologues, as well as various types of speeches and book reviews. Rev. Aubrey White and Mrs. Elizabeth Clark Plaisance, one of our numerous brides, were presented in Senior Recitals. Each one gave miscellaneous selections. The College Theatre is open to any student desiring to take part therein. It has a Wesleyan Chapter and is endeavoring to sponsor a group in each of the Methodist churches of the city.

Lee, then a young engineer and colonel under Albert Sidney lohnston. When Lee joined his regiment at Mason he was immediately sent North with the first and fifth squc far as the Clear Fork of the Brazos. This section was then in the the Comanche Reserve, where the Indians were the fiercest and most gerous. Lee's acute engineering skill promptd him to select this hill ideal place upon which to establish his post. lt is said that when the young commander approached the spot he struck with its position as a favorable point of vantage in an indian The hill appeared to be much more elevated than the surrounding and therefore afforded a better outlook. But when it was reached youthful engineer was surprised to find the hill apparently no higher the approaching lands. l-le rernarlced that it must have been a hill that he had seen. From this remark and circumstance the place its name. Some of the old settlers say that when Phantom Hill was alnaui january, l8Bl, that the fort was set on fire by the soldiers stationed Others associate Mrs. Lee with the circumstances of destruction. This has twined itself around the tenclrils of history until it is hard to lc truth. 4 Y F. 1 fn., lyrfl'-V ' v M. ww , v .MV ,, ., tu, ...rv .-:'-7- Q .' , ral-,5 Wi .?f?L::',' ' 1 f- - W 3 Q .. , Q wr. f 'ff ' Q4-.

QTIE5 ELECTRONICS-u THE SCIENCE OF TODAY THE SERVANT OF TOMORROW Progress cannot be stopped. It IS some- times temporarily blocked. Occasionally, its course is obstructed and frequently it is slowed. But it is never stopped! The electrical industry is an example ot progress in bringing the benefits of scien- tific research to you promptly and econom- ically. The wonders of the modern elec- trical world . . the everyday services which you take for granted . . . are the results of private research bv individuals and compa- nies instituted and conducted on their own private initiative. Today, under the impetus of war, the science ot electronics is being explored and developed as never before. ln the peace of tomorrow, those developments will be adapted for your use. Your electric service company, the XfVest Texas Utilities Com- pany, will bring those new and improved services to you. If progress is ever slowed down or stop- ed, it will be because private initiative and lice enterprise have been intimidated, ham- pered, or destroyed.
