Veterans Who Re-entered McMurry College Veterans Who Are New on the McMurry Campus Institutions of Higher Learning throughout the world lie at the foundation of civilization, and constitute the greatest source of strength, security, and hope of organized society. They are the oldest and most important institutions among men. An undeveloped territory is necessarily lacking in institutional development and life, for institutions are the expressions of organized society, and the product of the best thoughts and purposes of the collective mind and spirit. Those who found and develop Educational institutions in a new country, are building foundations for the future of mankind, and are opening up channels by and through which their ideals and purposes may flow into the life of the future generations. The builders of Christian Educational Institutions are not only serving their own generations in a very important way, but, what is much more significant, they are undergirding the future with Christian truth and ideals, and injecting into the future those elements of living that make for the perpetuity of the Church, and the Christian Character of the social order of the distant future. It is only by this process that the Kingdom of God can come in fullness in the earth. In this infinitely important task all who are concerned for the future may have a part. From the student who gives himself wholeheartedly to the mastery of his courses, to the professor who imparts his knowledge and spirit to his classes, to the trustee, and men and women of means, who give of their time, talent, and sub- stance to support, direct and build the institution, to the thousands of interested people who may give accord- ing to their ability—to all these comes the opportunity and privilege of building for the centuries to come this most important of all human institutions—THE CHRISTIAN COLLEGE. HAROLD G. COOKE, President. The year just closing has been an eventful one for McMurry College. Many of our service men and women are returning and are back with us on the campus. We are happy to note how easily they have adjusted them- selves to college life. We are grateful to these men and women for pre- serving our way of life. The sound of hammer and saw on the campus thrills us and makes us realize that McMurry College is on the march. Thank you all for the part you are having in its progress. You have maintained throughout the trouble- some war years that fine McMurry spirit and now you are to see the fruits of your courage and devotion. Again we say it has been a real pleasure to work with you. Sincerely, O. P. THRANE, Vice-President and Bursar Again, this year-book and this message means the completion of a year's work at McMurry College. With the return of our young men to the campus, class work and stu- dent activities have experienced a revitalization. McMurry College is un- doubtedly seeing a new day. Those of you who do not graduate will, I am sure, want to be a part of this period of expansion. However, there is a challenge in it for all of us. Just as the Nation girded itself to meet the crisis of World War II, just so must we McMurrians prepare ourselves to meet the challenge of this post-war period. McMurry College is destined to become a great institution, but this will not just happen. It must be brought about by the combined efforts of the faculty, student body, board of trustees, and ex-stu- dents. Let us all put our energies into the task of building a greater Mc- Murry College. Sincerely, W. B. McDANIEL, Dean of Men. The latch-string of this office is always out to the students of McMurry College—past, present, or future. We are interested in you and your progress and wish for you happiness unalloyed. Sincerely, JENNIE TATE, Dean of Women While the modern age, with its variety of activities, demands skill and efficiency to a greater degree than ever before in the history of the world, it also requires in our complex society, a finer nature, a broader sympathy, a stronger and nobler character than has been demanded in the past. It is, then, the problem of the student of today to combine the necessary tech- nical training with the finer and better things in life so as to be prepared to meet all of life's problems from day to day. What tomorrow's world will be depends upon the kind of leadership that is exercised by the community, the sta te, and the country as a whole. May each of you be worthy of the responsibilities of that leadership! Sincerely, GYPSY TED SULLIVAN WYLIE, Dean of Fine Arts Board of Trustees, McMurry College OFFICERS S. M.

Clarendon Tom Elrod Odessa IRIS GRAHAM May 23, 1906 - December 31, 1945 Registrar of McMurry College 1928- 1945 ft Farewell from Iris Sleep well, my Earth bound friend. But as you sleep, lend me your heart That I may leave a message here, A v ord for those who now must mourn. Those who, in life, I held most dear. Just tell them this— I loved my life, my friends, my folks . I loved my work, my little jokes. I found there's lots of joy, to pay For lifts you give along the way To those who labor hard and long. But haven't learned the gift of song. I loved my church, as all must know; It shows so plainly how to go To reach the place where I am now. Oh, yes, I loved my life! But as I've heard you say, my friend. The best of good things reach an end. And so I left Life yesterday. How I did hate to go away. Up here, though, there's no limit to The joyous things I find to do. I sing, as I have longed to sing. At last, I've looked upon the King. He smiled in such a tender way And said, I'm glad you've come to stay. You're stirring in your sleep, and so This one last thing, and I must go. They saw how much I loved to live, With what tenacity I clung to breath; How great their comfort when they know That infinitely more than Life, I love what you call Death. —MABEL ELLIS.

Athletics With the intentions of having a well-rounded sports program and top-notch athletic standard, McMurry College went out to get an Athletic Director to match this ambition. It found him in the person of Vernon Hilliard, one of the best Texas high school coaches of former years. Hilliard believes in the very best in athletics and he is very efficiently bending every effort to see that McMurry has this best—if possible, the best in history. He is a firm believer in clean athletics, in individual hustling, and in top results from every effort. McMurry should reach its sports peak under the capable lead- ership of this outstanding Athletic Director. Jerome Vannoy, head basketball and base- ball coach, is the assistant to Hilliard. He also proved his worth in top Texas high schools before coming to the campus last fall. His as- sociation with Hilliard is not new since the two have worked together before. Vannoy, in bas- ketball proved himself to be a likable, yet effi- cient coach. He led the Indians to fourth place in conference standings with a team that didn't get started before mid-season. In his spare time Vannoy gives his all in Math classes.

He was the second to receive such honor in any sport since 1938. He played a stellar defensive game and racked up 153 points for the season. Rondall Cooper, sophomore from Abilene, was selected as guard on the second team. Slow in starting. Cooper totaled 96 points in 12 games and was heart of the McMurry offense by the end of the season. COOPER BASKETBALL With the end of the war, McMurry started reconversion toward a new sports program, along with numerous other colleges throughout the nation. The first major sport to get underway was basketball. The Indians had a mediocre season as far as the victory- loss columns read, winning five and losing nine games, and notching fourth place in the newly reformed Texas Conference. But the Reservation fielded a hustling squad under the direction of Coach Vannoy that played every moment, win or lose; a squad that made up for all their losses when they scalped a highly touted ACC team, 30-26 on the home floor. Coach Vannoy's team launched the season with just four of the regular squad mem- bers on hand when it took on a fair Army Air Base outfit. The Indians lost to the Flyers twice, but by respectable scores each time. Bush was high point man in the first game which ended 43-33. The second game, a little closer, 49-41, saw Don Loyd tab 16 points for top honors. After adding four more squad members in early January, the Indians gave it an- other whirl but with no better results, when they lost, 47-38, to a good John Tarleton quintet. Cook, the left-handed McCamey freshman, was high man on the basket work with 14 points. DONALD LOYD Centor TROY WADZECK Forward GENE DALTON Guard Bill. COOK Guard The conference champs-to-be, Southwest- ern U., opened the conference for McMurry on the home court. The Redskins did every- thing but scalp the Pirates, only to lose by one point, 34-33, when a desperate Medley squad froze the ball for 90 seconds. The score was tied eight times, and the Indians had a five point lead at one time, in this one of the most exciting games of the sea- son. On the following night, the Plowboys from Tarleton ran into a team much im- proved over the one they had played ear- lier and were sunk by a 35-20 score. Loyd took honors in this game with 14 points. Three days later, supposedly potent TWC, like Southwestern, was glad to be done with the Scalpers, although they man- aged to eke out a five point victory, 31-26. The Indians stayed in striking distance all through the game, but their goal shooting was on the shy side of good marksman- ship. Again Loyd was high point man with eleven points, and he and Dalton wheel- horsed a good McMurry defense. The Brave road trip of February 5 and 6, was made a partial success when the In- dians held out through a rough contest with the Kangaroos from Austin College that featured some 49 personal fouls, to win, 45-38. This tilt saw Rondcll Cooper falling back into his pre-war form when he sank 17 points for high point honors. On the way home the Indians dropped off in Fort Worth to lose a loosely played game to TWC, 52-34. The Rams had a comfortable lead most of the way, although Cooper led a McMurry rally that cut the score to 43-30 in the last five minutes of the game. Cooper continued his scoring ways in this match with 11 points for top laurels for McM. Wadzeck was a close second with 8. The road trip of the 11th and 12th of February was a total failure for McMurry. At Georgetown, the champ Buccaneers turned loose their lightning and scorched our Indians very nicely, 62-36. Loyd sank 14 points but was outscored by both Hamric and Davenport of Southwestern. The game that was to have made up for this defeat turned lo ashes in the mouths of the Braves when Jimmy Kight led the Howard Payne Yellow Jackets to a 50-46 upset win over the Reservation men. The entire squad played a good game but without avail against a hot HPC quintet. Loyd led the McMurry shooters with 13 points and was followed in order by Dalton, Cook, and Cooper. The Kangaroos from Austin almost made a mess of things when they invaded the home grounds and held the Indians to a 14-14 tie at halftime. The In- dians, however, under the leadership of Cooper swept back in the last half to clear the Hoppers out of the way by a 37-18 score. The entire McMurry squad had a bit of play before the affair was con- cluded. Cooper led in points garnered with 14. BUD WHEELS? Guard NEAL BRADSHAW Forward GENE BUSH Forward SAM SMITH Guard gmm The season ended, fittingly enough, with the Braves get- ting revenge on Howard Payne on the home court by a 34-24 score. The game, played before some 1,200 fans, was slow in the scoring department. Cooper was McMurry high point man although good play was turned in by Bradshaw, Loyd, and Dalton. BRUCE FRANCIS . Guard The most bitterly contested games of the whole season were the two played with our cross-town rivals, the Wild- cats. Each team won on their home court by four point margins. The first match was rough and saw the score tied six times' and the lead change hands four times, the fluctuating score finally ending, 30-26. In this game Loyd flashed his best to take McMurry high point honors with ten tallies, besides playing an outstanding defensive game. He held the Cats' J. E. Smith to two points. Wad- zeck gave his best exhibition of the year in a well played floor game. Wheeler also turned in star defensive work in this grudge battle. 1,500 faris were on hand. In the second game, across town, the Indians ran into trouble early by allowing the Cats to take a 9-2 lead very tommy ellis quickly, even as Abilene's largest basketball crowd of the Guard season continued to crowd into Bennett Gymnasium. Mc- Murry, however, led at the intermission, 26-24, on some beautiful goal work by Cooper and Loyd. The score was tied six times before ACC could make a four point lead stick that gave them the game, 41-37. Loyd was high point man of the night with 14 points. The entire squad played a good, fast game and had every right to expect to win. JOE SCRIVNER Guard HOEFFER Hundred Two-Twenty Broad Jump Sprint Relay SHIELD Discus Javelin TRACK Track came back onto the McMurry cam- pus this spring with all the color and in- terest of any major sport. With ten speed boys reporting, Track Coach Hilliard launched a season that will take in most of the major track and field events of the Southwest. Athletic Director Hilliard, who is well experienced in coaching of track events, will make this team the foundation for outstanding Indian track squads in the years to come. This year marks the first time that track has been given equal con- sideration with the other McMurry sports, football, basketball, and baseball. At the time of this writing, the track squad, which is composed mainly of vet- erans, has already made a trip to the Bor- DAWSON Eight-Eighty Relay Two-Twenty Hundred BROUGHTON Four-Forty Eight-Eighty Relay Mile Relay SCHULTZ Football Shuttlo SUTTON Milo Relay Eight-Eighty Relay Sprint Relay CARVER Four-Forty Relay Milo Rolay TRACK DEWITT Mile Relay COX Sprint Rolay Football Shuttle der Olympics at Laredo. The trip was made mostly in the interest of getting the feel of competition rather than to try to rack up points. Most of the speedsters are having difficulty rounding into shape due to the long layoff from formal athletics, and such being the case, were unable to turn in a good showing at the Olympic meet. It is probable that the team will not be at its peak until about mid-season, and they should be ready to turn in their best per- formance at the Texas Conference Meet at A. C. C. on May 9, 10. In addition to the A. C. C. affair the In- dians will make treks to exhibitions includ- ing the Southwestern Exposition at Fort Worth, Texas Relays in Austin, and the Drake Relays at Des Moines, Iowa. BARRY Hundred TwoTwcnly BASEBALL Baseball came back this spring under the able coaching of lerome Vannoy and Joe Langston. The Indians split their season—six wins and six losses—as they took on some of the better teams of this area plus outstanding university teams, including a great Uni- versity of Texas team. This marked the first time that a State University team had played in Abilene. Troy Wadzeck, first base; Donald Loyd, short stop; Joe Tysko, pitcher, and David Williams, outfield, were some of the outstanding men, both in the field and at bat. Other members of the squad were Buck Francis, catcher; Ben Keith, outfield; Neal Brad- shaw, outfield; Doc Ellis, utility; Grady Baker, third base; Wayne Loyd, second base; Gene Dalton, utility, and Gene Bush, pitcher. In games played the baseballers won one each from Baylor and Trent, and four from Southwestern U., while losing two to Texas U., and one each to Baylor, Trent, and Lawn. INDIAN HEAD ASSOCIATION SCHULTZ WADZECK ANDERSON BROOKSHIRE BAKER COX ELLIS JONES (Not pictured: WHEELER) President . . . Vice-President Secretary . .. Reporter ...... OFFICERS ................Wheeler ................Schultz ................Wadzeck ...............Anderson The Indianhead Association is made up of lettermen in football and basketball. Each year as new lettermen are announced, they are initiated into the Association and are then entitled to wear the Indian Head. It is suspected that in the future baseball and track lettermen will also qualify for the organization. The social activities of the Indian Head Association include the annual spring picnic in honor of, and in appreciation for the Wah Wahtaysee. WAH WAHTAYSEE DRUM AND BUGLE CORP President, Acting Drum Major, Jimmie Lou Thomas; Secretary-Treasurer, Frances Nell Gardner; Keeper of the Records, Virginia Norris; Artist, Doris Schoolcraft; Pianist, Ellen Williams; Reporter, Helen Holt. The Wah Wahtaysee Drum and Bugle Corp has completed its nineteenth year as an organization. Plans are being formulated to celebrate the twentieth anniversary in 1946-'47. Although the past few years have been a transition period, the Wah Wahtaysees have carried on up- holding their ideals of building character and promoting the spirit of McMurry College. With the faithful sponsorship of Miss Willie Mae Christopher, known as Miss Chris to most all students, and respected deep- ly by all, the corp has stayed off the war casualty list. The flag bearers for the year have been Virginia Norris, carrying the McMurry flag, and Frances Gardner, carrying the U. S. flag. Wanda Smith, a Senior and a four year member, carried the Silver Bugle,, symbol of the bugle instructor. Since intercollegiate athletics were discontinued during our crisis of war, the corp has participated in many other activities, but the last semester of this year brought back our athletic program beginning with basketball. The corp was thrilled to participate in backing the Indians, as it was the first time for many of the members. The Wah Wahtaysees are looking forward to a bigger and better corp next yeai. The activities of the organization this year have included the Council Fire, selling of War and Victory Bonds, Stamps, participation in town parades, selling the T. B. bangles, raising and lowering the flag by Jimmie Lou Thomas and Frances Gardner, the annual chapel program, performances at basketball games, pilgrimage to Dr. Hunt’s grave on Founder's Day, and the Installation Tea in May. The members of the corp included: Jimmie Lou Thomas, Frances Gardner, Virginia Norris, Ellen Wil- liams, Helen Holt, Doris Schoolcraft, Elizabeth Willis, Kathryn Norris, Annadell Harkey, Carole Jean Byerly, Eva Jo Reid, Wanda Fain, Ruby Lee Hancock, Helen Moore, Virginia Woodall, Louise Majors, Janie Nor- man, Mary Priscilla Killough, Beth Shepherd, Wanda Smith, Dorothy Pittman, Ina Grace Johnson, Edith Mc- Gaughey, Vera Lou Allred, Adele Strickland, Jerre Hynds, Madie Jones, Lewis Hensley, Katy Chambers, Patty Britain, and Coral Leslie Clark. WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION ESTELLE M. THOMAS Director of Women's Physical Education Department The Health Education and Physical Activity program of McMurry is keeping pace with the growth and advancement of the entire college. Plans have been completed to offer a major and minor degree in this field dur- ing the coming year. June Coleman has been senior assistant in the Girls' Physical Education Department this year. Elizabeth Willis and Jean Hart, sophomores, have been laboratory assistants. These girls have done a splendid job of carrying on the standards toward which this department is striving and providing recre- ational leadership at many college functions. President ELIZABETH WILLIS Sophomore, Morton Vice-President LOUESE HARDAWAY Sophomore, Dumas The membership of the Women's Athletic Association is made up of girls enrolled in any Health Education, Physical Education, or Physical Activity course. A special point system for greater interest and participation in Wo- men's Athletics has been adopted with major and minor award letters going to girls acquiring the necessary number of points. The annual McMurry Mardi Gras is sponsored each year by the W. A. A., which also provides recreation leadership for many picnics and parties held during the school year.

FRESHMAN VOLLEY BALL The freshman class always provides plenty of exciting competition for the other three classes on the campus. FRESHMAN MEMBERS OF W. A. A. The Physical Education Department is composed mainly of students of Freshman and Sophomore standing. The green anklets and ties, freshman colors, are the Indian symbolism that means the beginning of growth. The Sophomore color is gold, meaning warmth, happiness, and willingness to up- hold the traditions and ideals. SOPHOMORE MEMBERS OF W. A. A.

THE FIRST ACCIDENT PREVENTION CLASS OF McMURRY COLLEGE DEDICATES THIS PAGE TO THE MEMORY OF MISS IRIS GRAHAM One of the outcomes of the War was the focusing of public attention upon the need for health instruction, and, as a consequence, it has been included in programs of schools, character-building organizations, etc. Its main pur- pose is to teach people to 'live most in order to serve best.' Safety instruction, a corollary, gives direction to activities a nd leads to a happier and more abun- dant life. It provides a means through which people, barring the unavoid- able, can live without the physical and emotional scars which many times are the result of an accident. Today, the school program, as well as the program of youth organiza- tions, should be practical, useful, and necessary. This requires that the pro- gram, in addition to teaching men and women how to be technically skilled and physically trained, should also teach them to live safely. HOME NURSING In keeping with the growth and expansion of the Physical Education De- partment the unit in Home Nursing established this year has created much interest and favorable comment.

The purpose of this club is to coordinate all press activities on the campus, which include the Totem, the War Whoop, and the Galleon. Eligibility for membership in the Press Club requires sixty hours secretarial or advertising work, or the printing of five thousand words in school publications. The annual spring banquet of the Press Club was held May 3 at the Abilene Woman's Club. T. I. P. A. director for the year was Preston Clark, editor of the War Whoop. As a result of the T. I. P. A. contest in May, 1945, McMurry College won first place on the Short Story contest with Joy Garner's entry, and the Literary Magazine edited by Mary White and Hardy Cole; second place with the Totem; second on the Essay, Poem, and Straight News Story contests; and third place in Sports Story.

THE WAR WHOOP TROTT SHELTON SCRIVNER JONES BISHOP WILSON MOSS HENSLEY EVERETT TURNER PHILLIPS SHIRLEY HAYS HAYS WILKINS LOYD This past year the War Whoop has continued to serve as the official news organ of McMurry College, presenting the news of the Reservation honestly and without favoritism. Democratic- ally by and for the students of McMurry, the War Whoop is published every other Thursday. Now that the war is won and we are settling down to the task that lies ahead—that of building a Greater McMurry —the staffs of the student publications have visions of a larger and finer journalism de- partment and even better publications at McMurry in the coming years. Under the leadership of Miss Julia Luker, journalism teacher, a large number of students have received practical training in news gathering, feature writing, editing, and advertising, and their training has been effective in making the War Whoop a better publication. With the return of Texas Conference basketball to the life of McMurry in January, sports returned to their old stamping grounds on the third page of the War W hoop under the efficient editor-ship of Eldridge Trott, who served in that same capacity in 1941-'42 before going into the Navy. Pre-war columns such as Know Your Braves, Heap Big Indian, and Scanning the Campi (under the new head of College Knowledge ) reappeared and soon became favorites with the students. There will al- ways be a Pow Wow ! Miss Newman did a grand job of keeping the students up on current events with Newman Edits the News. Mrs. Doyle Ragle edited the Exes column the first semester and when forced to resign this duty at mid term, was succeeded by Rev. J. Edmund Kirby. Both did a fine job of supplying the latest news and a lot of it to our exes. The paper lost a splendid editor, Harold Longino, and a good business manager, C. R. Shelton, at mid term. Preston Clark and Eleanor Scrivner were selected to succeed them. Members of the staff wish to thank all students and faculty members for the helpful co-operation they rendered throughout the year, a very successful one for the McMurry College War Whoop. HENSLEY SAXON Z he Qalleoti GALLEON STAFF LEWIS HENSLEY.................Editor BOBBY SAXON ..................Artist The Galleon is a literal y magazine published semi-annually by the stu- dents of McMurry College to encourage creative writing on the campus. It is the purpose of The Galleon to promote talent and original thinking through essays, feature stories, short stories, poetry, editorials, book reviews, and one- act plays. 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. The theme of The Galleon of 1946 is the student's opinion in war and in peace. As the teacher of the journalism class and sponsor of The Gal1 eon, Miss lulia Luker has rendered invaluable assistance.

H. R., men's social club, the oldest social organization on the campus of McMurry College, was organized the same year the college was founded. The I. H. R. has as its underlying principle the furthering of a greater, bigger, and better McMurry. The main object of the club is to help individuals to a higher plane and then in turn for them to bring our esteemed college to an even higher plane. In this objective the traditions of the college are upheld with utmost fervency. The men who uphold these standards are taken only from upperclassman ranks and pledge for one year. The club has been inactive the past three years, every member in school during 1943 having gone into the Armed Service. We are proud of our returning members and can assure McMurry College of the same high ideals and enthusiastic workers in the future as in the past. Traditions of McMurry and I. H. R. in the past will be carried out whole hearted ly in the future. The I. H. R. annual banquet is held in the spring of each school year to honor the members, ex-mem- bers, and their ladies. Under the capable direction of Dean McDaniel, in the capacity of sponsor, the I. H. R. will have been re-established and doing their bit toward a greater McMurry. IN MEMORIAM T. I. P. dedicates this page to the memory of its beloved spon- sor, Miss Iris Graham. Her unfailing devotion, loyalty, and inter- est in each student of McMurry leaves us an example by which the club shall set its ideals. Our Skipper was called home on December 31, 1945, and the Memory of her is the beacon by which we shall guide our Ship. SMITH T. I. P.

The Christmas party honoring a small child was the last event before the holidays. On the last day of 1945, we lost our Skipper, Miss Iris Graham. As we know she would want us to do, we are carrying on with the activities she so enthusiastically helped us plan. Festivities in the latter part of the year were the traditional Sweetheart banquet, the second series of rush parties, the banquet honoring the Exes, and the Senior Dinner. Around two hundred and fifty Exes are looking to us to keep the good ship on its course, and we shall ever strive to uphold its ideals and traditions.

It has been the purpose of, the club to uphold the high ideals and traditions of McMurry Col- lege and to hold high the qualities of friendship and helpfulness which characterize our school. KIVA continues to promote fellowship among its members with regular meetings, wholesome recreation, and adequate outlet for social de- velopment. Three men who helped organize the KIVA came back to the Reservation in January to boost the strength of the club and to help carry on the organi zation as it was carried on in its beginning. These charter members were Crawford Hughes, Truman Black, and Truett Black. The KIVA salutes its many members in the service, including those who were taken out of school this past year. As a body we wish to remember a friendly and loyal KIVA, Red Reese, who was killed in action while serving our country as a bombardier on a B-29 Superfortress. To Dr. H. S. Von Roeder, a fine gentleman and a grand sport, we members of KIVA hereby ex- press our sincere thanks for his very capable and understanding sponsorship during the past year.

Its primary aim is to train the members to respect and understand the great master composers and their compositions. Each season the Chanters make many appearances both in and out of Abilene. This year, as a group and as individuals, they have presented over 200 programs in Abilene and in schools and churches in West Texas, the Panhandle, and New Mexico. Some of the productions they have given this year include Handel's Messiah, in collaboration with the high school, Dubois' Seven Last Words, and The Mar- riage of Nannette. The success of the Chanters is largely due to the prodigious work and untiring cooperation of Mrs. Robert B. Wylie, Dean of Fine Arts and director of the group.

Under the leadership of Dr. Robert L. Long as sponsor, the Forum conducted weekly programs during the first semester, with the aspiration of spiritual betterment for each member. At the close of the semes- ter, a weiner roast was given as a going-away party for Dr. Long, who left to re-enter the active ministry. Our new sponsor is Rev. J. Edmund Kirby, new head of the Bible department. During the semester the Forum maintained a unified program tending to activate thinking along the lines of responsibili- ties of the future, and the preparation, both academic and spiritual, for doing the work of the pastor and doing it well. In their worship program, the group was privileged to hear a number of excellent speakers who offered many worthwhile suggestions. With a growing membership, the Forum hopes next year to extend its activities to assistance to the churches of the conference in supplying church workers, filling pulpits on request, assisting in evangel- istic campaigns, and regularly discussing together common problems for the benefit of the membership, and ultimately, McMurry College and the Methodist Church. McMURRY THEATRE The McMurry Speech Department, under the guidance of W. Fredric Plette, has grown in every speech field this year.

One group which is important to the good health and well-being of the stu- dent body is the McMurry Kitchen Kids, composing the main body of the Mc- Murry Kitchen Staff, under the capable direction of Mrs. Mabel Dorton, or Mama D, as she is known to the students. Throughout the past years, several students who were once Kitchen Kids have taken prominent places in school activities. Also, lasting and personal friendships, and even courtships, have been developed through working together, as at least four of the present members can be a witness to. This year we have been looking forward to the completion of the new Iris Graham Dining Hall, which is being financed by the Ex-Student Association. Here we hope to give much better service by taking advantage of every convenience possible in the modern college dining hall. Looking forward to a greater McMurry, the Kitchen Kids bid you success and Godspeed. Who Who VERNON SPENCE PATSY KIRK R. C. STONE GENE MATTHEWS RAN SPQt Don't be so eager- it's a long wait.

H. (Bill) HANEY Manager Factory, 1274 North Second Street P. O. Box 1560—ABILENE, TEXAS GOSH, ONLY A PENNY! Once a penny was a fortune to a six-year-old. It could buy yards of licorice shoestrings, an all-day sucker, or a syrup- smothered scoop of shaved ice. A penny would pay for marbles, a tin whistle, or even a little lead soldier. It was the ceiling price for a new top-string. Nowadays, a penny won’t buy much for a little boy. But it purchases a lot of labor-saving electricity. Sonny many sniff at a penny for running an errand—jet that same penny will (at average household rales) do any of these jobs— • Run a sewing machine all afternoon • Keep a refrigerator cold for 4 hours • Vacuum clean 10 large rugs • Light a 50-watt hull� for 6 hours • Run the washer for 6 tubs of clothes • Give you the correct time for 7 days • Keep a radio playing for 3 hours Yes, a penny is still big money—electrically. Actually, the average family gets just about twice as much electricity for its money as it cid 15 years ago. Keeping electric service cheap, friendly and dependable—even all through the war— is a tribute to the careful business management of your elec- tric company, and to the hard work and experience of all the men and women in it.
