All of those who have labored and planned and contributed to make it what it is have become a part of it. A college is the composite personality of all the person- alities that have entered into its life. A college is a living spiritual being. The traditions of an in- stitution are the processes and practices by which and through which this has come to pass. The story of the beginning, the early develop- ment, the habits and prac- tices of the successive faculty groups and student bodies, the policies and principles of management and administra- tion, and many other things written and transmitted oral- ' c ly that live in the memory of those who are connected Pfesfdenf with it compose its traditions. DR. HAROLD G. COOKE Tradition is to a college what character is to an individual, hence in a very definite sense a college has a character of its own which is peculiar to it, and which measures the merit and value of the institution. If you would properly appraise the character of a college you must not only know its present internal structure and life, but its history, its controlling principles through the years, and the practices that have character- ized it through the course of its development. Traditions are to a college What parenthood is to a child, what family life is to youth, what blood and inheritance are to a man or woman. Tradition is inherent to the character of a college, and hence it is some- thing sacred. Those who truly love a college will both respect and love its traditions. Unless these traditions are worthy it is impossible to be truly loyal to an institution, for loyalty must be grounded in Worth. The older an institution becomes the more dominant and controlling are its traditions. Mclvfurry College is very young. Its entire history is Within the memory of most of those who govern and control its program. We,- students, faculty, trustees, patrons and friends,-are moulding its traditions. Let us cherish what has gone before, because it merits our love and esteem. Let us each give of our very best to Mclvlurry, because What we do will in a peculiar way become the traditions of the future. Adminisfrafiau and Qaculfy O. P. THRANE e W. B.

I WM .T in QM Hfffgwxay me KW' Milf ii maize The fine showings made by the Indian athletic teams during the 1948-49 school year may well be attributed to the well balanced coaching staff. The head of the athletic department, Vernon Hilliard, has done yeoman service in building up the Tribe coaching staff since McMurry resumed athletics following the end of World War Il. After coaching the Indian footballers in the fall of I9-46, Hilliard stepped out as grid coach to devote full time as athletic director. Hilliard remained as head track coach, however, and for the first time in several years, McMurry is making a name for itself in the Cinder circles. if The man Hilliard selected to fill the head football coaching post was Wilford Moore who took over the reins in the fall of l947. In the past two grid seasons, Moore has made history as the Tribe head man. He guided the Indians to the Texas Conference championships both years, to become the first Indian grid coach to give McMurry two championship teams. Moore, too, is believed to be the first college coach in the southwest and possibly the nation, to win cham- pionships in his first two years of head coaching experience. Moore was selected as the coach of the year in the Texas Conference in I947. Moore's assistant for the 1948 sea- son was Larry Cunningham, a former teammate of the head coacher while the two were performing for Hardin- Simmons in the early forties. Cun- ningham's work as line coach was remarkable in that four Indian for- ward wall men were namecl on the All-Texas Conference team for I948. Coach Frank Akers, who was named the Indian baseball and basketball director in 1948, estab- lished quite a record in both sports in his freshman year as the head tutor. His basketball team compiled the best record in IO years for an Indian quintet, winning I2 out of 19 games and setting an all-time scoring record for a single season, averaging 55.1 points per game. Akers came to McMurry from far- off Lebanon, Indiana, and in turn won letters in basketball and base- ball while working toward a B. A. degree at McMurry. Mel Iowell, all-conference guard for the Indians the last two years, as- sumed the assistant coach duties for the Indian footballers at mid-term upon receiving his diploma from Mc- Murry. Iowell, one of the Indians' better guards of all time, helped guide spring training as his first duty. f N tk ? f QHXHNPSX x ' f 49 I-I3 X X gfllffbllff Shown above are the lndian footballers, Texas Conference champions for 1948.

Barryl. ,411 - Zferfasy y6oiffcre11r'e MEL IOWELL, the lndians' 207- pound guard from Plainview, Texas, was named for the second year in a row on the All-Texas Conference team in 1948. Iowell, in winning his berth on the mythical eleven, was an important cog in Coach Wilford Moore's offensive and defensive strategies throughout the season. Iowell was consistently praised for his ability to pull out of the line and lead interference for Indian ball toters. Mel's defensive play left nothing to be desired. Iowell wound up his college career last fall and since has been named assistant R. M. CPATJ PATTERSON climaxed his three-year stint as an Indian grid- ster in a whirling fashion the past fall when he won the tackle berth on the All-Texas Conference eleven. Pat, a hefty 230-pounder, specialized in opening up wide gaps for Tribe ball carriers to dash through. The big Abilenian was a consistent player and he gave the game all he had. Patterson will be long remembered by his teammates in his play in the Howard Payne game when he blocked out two Yellow lackets with one block to enable Royce Smith to score an important td. LES COWAN left no doubt in any- one's mind that he was the outstand- ing end of the conference in 1948. Named on the All-Texas Conference team for the second time, Cowan also received Little A11-American rec- ognition through the AP and the Wil- liamson system. Big Les, who stands at 6 feet, five inches, and tips the scales at 235, continually won the fancy of Indian backers with his scin- tillating pass catching. Cowan grab- bed 20 passes during the season that accounted for 361 yards. The Hamlin junior has another year of eligibility and he is looking forward to another coach at his alma mater. good year on the Reservation next fall. BRAD ROWLAND, the Indians' great halfback, com- piled one of the finest offensive records in Texas Con- ference history in 1948. Rowland was picked on the All-Conference team last fall to make it two consecutive years to receive such an honor. Brad led the confer- ence in yards gained rushing with 1,112 net yards: in total offense with 1,302 net yards, and in punting with an average of 41.6 on 34 kicks. The Hamlin sophomore received honorable mention on AP's Little American team and was placed on the second team of the Wil- liamson system's Little All-America picks. TRUMAN NlX'S consistent fiery play throughout the season easily won him the center position on the A11- Texas Conference team for 1948. Nix was the outstand- ing linebacker of the conference last fall despite his size. Truman was the lightest lineman picked on the mythical eleven, at 180 poundsp But the Loraine senior made up for the lack of poundage with power driving tackles that made it difficult for the opposing ball car- riers to get past the line of scrimmage. Nix Wound up his collegiate career in '48 after earning three letters as a Tribesman. FLOREN HOEFER RUDY HAILE ELMO CUMMINS Back, 155 pounds: 3-year letterman. End, 190 pounds: 3-year letterman.

SEASONS REVIEW McMurry, 14: Texas Mines, 33 The Texas Conference Champion Indians opened their season in Odessa, Sept. 18 against a tough Texas Mines outfit and after playing on even terms through the first two quarters, the Tribe eleven bowed to the Border Conference's Number Two team in the final two periods, 33-14. It was too much Fred Wendt for the Indians as the Little All-American made three long runs for touch- downs. For the Indians, Floyd Sampson and Floren Hoefer produced the tallies. A crowd of 8,000 looked on. McMurry, 355 East Texas Baptist, 0 The Indians made their home debut for the l948 season a successful occasion by rolling past an out- classed East Texas Baptist eleven, 35-0. Rowland, Hoefer and Day crossed the double stripe once each to give the Indians a 21-U half-time lead and the reserves took over from there. The Indians did not allow the East Texans to get past the mid-field stripe over the full route and the Baptists mustered only two first downs. Royce Smith booted all extra points.

Rowland erased the early Tarpon touchdown lead by sweeping end for nine yards for the Indians' first score. Smith converted to make it 7-6. It was the Tribe's game the rest of the way. Scoring for the Indians were Smith and Myatt, two td's each, and Haile and Rowland, one each. Half-time score favored the Indians, 19-6. McMurry, 75 Hardin, 14 The Braves opened conference play in Wichita Falls on Oct. 9 and like 1947, the Hardin Indians upset the McMurrians, 14-7.

A Tribe Homecoming crowd of over 9,000 fans were treated to some the finest football seen at Abilene's Fair Park for the 1948 season. The Indians ped into a 13-0 half-time lead and had still another td. called back. The Braves were the Wildcat one-yard marker when the half ended. The ACCians tried in vain to back into the ball game in the second half but the battling Tribe of McMurrians ted their efforts and walked off with an important Texas Conference triumph. The ian scores were marked up by Vernon Townsend and E. C. Barry. Townsend figured n both tallies, scoring on a quarter-back sneak and passing to Barry for the other. only Wildcat six-pointer came in the third period on a two-yard plunge by Mason. McMurry, 195 Austin College, 6 The Austin College Kangaroos became the second conference victim of the Indians tilt played at Fair Park Stadium, 19-6. The outcome was never in doubt, although Indians' offensive was a bit off their usual pace.

The McMurrians put the game on ice by countering twice more before the Jackets added their final tally in the last minutes of the game.

McMurry, 34, Southwestern, 14 The battling Indians climaxed their long uphill climb to the Texas Conference champ by walloping the Southwestern Pirates in their final conference tilt, 34-14, and thus gave the Indians their second championship in succession. Slow starting, the Indians began their onslaught on the Pirates in the third quarter and scored almost at will the rest of the way. The Braves took a 7-0 lead in the first half on a Rowland to Townsend pass play. Rowland then put the game on ice for the Indians in the third stanza with touchdown runs of five and 41 yards for a 21-0 McMurry lead. Les Cowan scored the fourth Indian tally on a 40-yard run after receiving a pass from Townsend. Sampson climaxed the riot with a 53-yard dash through the middle-way in the fourth period. A flag raising ceremony was held on the campus the morning after the game and the students were granted a holiday in honor of the 1948 Texas Conference Football Champions, the McMurry Indians. McMurry, 135 Missouri Valley, 20 After a bitter struggle, the Indians failed to halt the 40-game streak win of the Missouri Valley Vikings in a tilt played in Marshall, Missouri, on Thanksgiving Day. The Valleymen, playing before an overflow partisan crowd of 7,000 fans, broke a 13-13 tie midway in the fourth period to gain their 41st straight triumph. An Indian fumble on their own 48-yard stripe set up the winning td for the Vikings. The Indians were knocking at the Viking door when the game ended. The Tribe drove to the Missouri 22-yard marker with time left for two plays, but two despera- tion passes went for naught and the Tribe dropped a tough intersectio nal tilt. Rowland and Barry scored the Indian touchdowns. ii' sf 4 X X k , 9 ri ' 7' ll :ge , ...... .

'BASEBALL REVIEW OF 1948 The Indian baseballers of 1948 got off to a slow start, losing their first four games, but finished up by winning five of its last eight games. Two of the early season losses came at the hands of the Texas Christian Horned Frogs of the Southwest Conference. The Froggies invaded the Reservation for the season opener in mid-March and edged past the Tribesters in a slugfest, I3-8. Two weeks later the Indians returned the game at Port Worth and a sloppy field led to a 23-3 win fo r the Frogs. No less than ll miscues were chalked up against the Braves allowing 20 unearned runs across the platter for the Cowtowners. The Indian nine, who were hampered by wintry weather in the early part of the season, were again guilty of many bobbles afield in their next two games with Southwestern at Georgetown. The Pirates camel from behind to win the opener, ll-8, and then came back the next afternoon to win decisively, I6-4. The Indians next trekked to Wichita Falls for a pair of games with Hardin College and after dropping the opener in a Sluggers battle, the Tribe then snapped their five-game losing streak the following afternoon by downing the Hardin men, 6-4. Sid Goodloe, freshman right-hander for the Mclvfurrians, went the route on the mound to chalk up a six-hit win. Goodloe, who did not allow more than one hit in a single inning except the seventh when he was touched for two, re- ceived brilliant support from his team- mates. The Indians, playing their best defensive game of the year, committed only one miscue. Roy Baird's two-run single in the fifth broke a 3-3 tie and the Indians behind Goodloe held on the rest of the way. Coach Frank Akers' men returned home to play host to the Southwestern Pirates in a two-game set and the Indians gained sweet revenge from their two losses at Georgetown previously by taking these two tilts, 14-IU and ll-7. The Tribesters wasted no time in getting started in the opener, leading I3-U at the end of the fifth, but starting pitcher, Raymond Nix, who twirled no-hit ball the first five frames, weakened in the latter stages and was forced to retire in favor of Iohn Pray Har- Pnchefs, left to fight: ommv oxrroan, RAYMoND Nix risen who finished up- In the Second qcrme and GEORGE MORRIS, of the series, Weldon Day broke up the Outfielders, left to right--SID GOODLOE, TOM MORRIS, I-IERSHEL KIMBRELL, MILBURN WARNER and GEORGE MORRIS. ball game in the last of the ninth with a grand slam ho mer. The Indians came into the ninth trailing 7-6 and Milburn Warner's infield rap with one away sent a Tribe runner across with the tieing run and then came day's round-tripper. The Hardin Indians were the next opponents for the Akersmen and the two teams again split a two-game series at Blue Sox Stadium, McMurry copping the opener 6-2 and Hardin the nightcap, 8-lO. Iohn Ray Har- rison's slow-breaking curves battled the Hardin men in the first tilt. The visitors from Wichita Falls collected only five hits over the route. Don Loyd of the McMurrians collected three hits to pace the winners at the plate. In the nightcap it was too much Bobby Brown as the Hardin first-saclcer banged out four hits to lead his mates to victory. The Tribe diamonders invaded Brooke Medical Field in San Antonio in their last series of the year and could do no better than split the series at one game each. The series opener was played under the lights, the first of the year for the Indians and the Comets took advantage of loose play afield by the Indians to take the first tilt, 14-l. lt was a different story the next afternoon, however, as the Indian batsmen went on a hitting spree to chalk up a 19-7 Win. Centerfielder George Morris led the Indians with the willow, garnering four sateties. The Tribesmen jumped to an early lead, scoring five runs in the first frame and after that it was just a matter of how much the Indians would Win by. Three Tribe moundsmen saw service-Les Cowan, Sid Goodloe and Harrison. Cowan was . Credited With The Win' .,,,. ,.,,,,, '--... .. ,Q 'Ss X A ff E s, t N 4 it 1 54 1 4 32 Ji' K 2. 6' 1? I' 4 A .

From this time to 1946 Wah Wahtaysee was a marching unit. ln 1947 it was made a hostess group on the campus, still maintaining the traditions and name of Wah Wahtaysee. Miss Christopher was the first sponsor of Wah Wahtaysee, and has remained sponsor through all its years. The purpose of Wah Wahtaysee is to promote friendship throughout McMurry College. lt is one of all the groups who tends to bring together the social clubs and all other organizations on the campus in order to have a more united student body. Wah Wahtaysees are, more or less, the leaders of the campus in the college spirit, and this spirit and friendly atmosphere has been promoted through them.

Reporter The Boyce l-lall Club was organized in 1942, taking the name oi the cooperative dor- mitory in which the members lived. All girls living in this dormitory, named for Sallie C. Boyce, are members oi the club. The girls Work out a schedule which is convenient with their academic program, at which time they prepare their own meals and care tor their home. The main goal oi the club is to carry out the principles of truth, honor and jus- tice, and to prepare to be better citizens and homemakers in the future. The success oi the club and the cooperation among the members is largely due to the devoted guidance and understanding oi the dormitory matron, Mrs. Ada Wilkins. Sports QUADRILLERS Organized three years ago the McMurry Quadrillers have devel- oped into a permanent group on the campus. Mrs. I-larold Thomas, physical education instructor for Women at that time, was the orig- inator of the group which has for its purpose, instruction and enter- tainment in folk-games techniques for those students interested. Cos- tumes Worn for special programs are reminders of the old Colonial days when everyone danced the Virginia Reel. 'kukir This year the group is composed of over 30 members and directed loy Miss Margaret Godbey, instructor of wom- en's physical education. Officers are not elected in this organization, as the group meets only for the purpose of l learning new games.
