We, of the Totem staff, have attempted, in this book, to com- pile a record of some of the memorable events of the past year, and to preserve for future recollection some of your joys and sorrows, hopes and fears, failures and successes, so that as the years go by, you will remember the days spent in McMurry College. If we have succeeded in presenting an interesting resume of the year's activities in this publication, then we feel that we have made a worthwhile contribution. Nonetheless, we have enjoyed working with this book, and hope that you will enjoy it, and treas- ure it as time goes by.

B. McDANIEL Dean of the College JENNIE TATE Dean of Women DR. HAROLD G. COOKE President O. P. THRANE Vice President and Business Manager RAYMOND W. DERR Director of Public Relations Dr. Harold G. Cooke, sixth president of McMurry College, first came to this institu- tion in January, 1943, and was formally in- augurated in September of that year. Sim- ultaneous with that inauguration. McMurry celebrated its twenty-first birthday, and launched out on a $1,750,000 building and endowment campaign. That project, which was conceived and planned entirely by Dr. Cooke, has already made vast progress. The beautiful Iris Graham Memorial Dining Hall was com- pleted in February. 1947, and the attractive President Hall for women was completed in the summer of that year. The Gold Star Memorial dormitory for men is rapidly near- ing completion, and numerous government buildings have been brought to the campus to accommodate the postwar influx of stu- dents. The student life center is now in process of reality, and shortly thereafter a fine arts DR. AND MRS. HAROLD G. COOKE . .. .. , , n building and a science hall are projected. In addition to initiating the building program, Dr. Cooke has secured several hundred thousand dollars in endowment, and has placed the college on a sound financial foun- dation. Through his untiring efforts the college has been able to not only launch whole- heartedly into a gigantic building program, but also to anchor its pecuniary affairs solidly, and plan for the future. During the five years that Dr. Cooke has presided at McMurry College, the institution has grown more than it had in the first twenty-one. Not only were the building and en- dowment programs successfully initiated, but numerous instructors were added to the faculty, and much needed equipment has been procured. Under the able guidance of Dr. Cooke, McMurry College is taking its place among the best colleges in the state. : FACULTY W V BADGER BLANCHE CRISP BADGER !OHN M BARCUS LLOYD BLANKS BRYAN BRADBURY B S .

BANQUETS In the spring a young man's fancies turn to the lighter things in life, thus McMurrians turn to banquets as the March winds recede. The above are representative of the ban- quets that are put on by the various organizations on the campus. The girls in all their finery, the boys dressed in suit or tux all make up a memorable part of the school year.
