Editor Frances Hynds Business Manager Arthur Gooch The 1950 Totem Volume XXVII foreword In llii the Issents-sesenth edition of the Totem. sse have attempted to depict the Reservation lile of each Indian brave and maiden. treasure of memories i- stored within these pages, built around earls Indian s mbol . The choice of our theme is successful. II the crossed arrows make sou recall glorious friendships: the snake, dails learning: the deer tracks, cheering the Warriors to s ielors: the man. classmates: the teepee, life in the dormi- tories and class rooms: the bird, carefree (lavs of various college act is ities: and the Kagle Feathers, sour choice of the top personalities on the campus. It i our pleasure to give sou. the students, the 1950 l olem. The Editor For the past several years, the Totem has not been dedicated to an individual. This year, however, it is the conviction that a candidate has proved himself truly worthy of the position. In 1947, he arrived at McMurry to direct the Indian gridmen. For three suc- cessive years, he has guided these Warriors to Texas Conference championships. Not merely because he has winning football teams do we dedicate the 1950 Totem to him, but because he has developed sincere sportsmanship in the campus men, because he has in- cited real Indian spirit in the student body, because he is Wilford Nwre. WE TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN DEDICATING THE 1950 TOTEM TO HIM.

A scholar in the true sense of the word is a ‘ man of letters. or a person of much learning, and scholarship is high attainment in literature or science or some other field of study. To be a student earnestly seeking to become a scholar, or striving to achieve scholarship is not altogether too rare, but by many, such an one is considered peculiar, and out of line. We recognize that there are other values of college experience and life beside intellectual pur- suit and do not think that they should be excluded from the cur- riculum. College students must live as well as learn to live. Yet in an institution of higher learn- ing. study, thought, the gathering of a large reservoir of information and distilling out of it judg- ments. and convictions, under- standing and wisdom is the par- ticular business of the college student. Every campus should have a definite atmosphere of studious- ness. of seeking for truth, and of becoming proficient in mental action. All students cannot be- come great scholars, but all can adopt and develop scholarly habits, and come to have a true appreciation of learning and erudition. It is not enough to become acquainted with what others have done and thought and perceived, but with this acquirement as a base, to blaze some new trail, to arrive at some new conclusion, to grasp some new truths, should be the determined ambition and purpose of every college student Emerson in his essay The American Scholar says of the scholar: He is the world's eye. He is the world s heart. He is - - - to communicate heroic sentiments, noble biographies, melodious verse, and the conclusions of history. Whatever oracles the human heart, in all emergencies, in all solemn hours has uttered - - - these he shall receive and impart. Whatsoever new verdict Reason pronounces - - - this he shall hear and promulgate.” What the world most needs today is trained men and women who can both see and feel the needs of humanity, and supply it with wisdom for the directing of its future course. Let us develop at McMurry College those attitudes and practices that will result in a sincere appreciation of scholarship and make of us all potential scholars. President's Message: DR. HAROLD G.

The first week was absorbed with meetings, tests and parties. T. D. Hamilton from Andrews was chosen as their leader with Orlo Mitchell from Houston elected as vice-president. College became a reality, no longer a dream. They donned slime caps, learned to button-up, remembered to stay off the grass, and learned the proper reply to, What do you say, freshmen? At homecoming, they built a bon-fire and beat the tom-tom for twenty-four hours. An attempt to raise the freshman flag failed, along with trying to escape the upperclassmen and stage a picnic. Their period of sliming is finished. Yet, the memory of that freshman year remains! ti i a gif leathers - - Chief - - Personalities Totum Presents MARTHA CRJBB DUANE BYARS KITTY BURK BOB BLACK JOY HUFF I OF HARRISON SUZANNE TOLER MAURICE PULLIG JANICE THOMPSON TOMMY RUSSELL Who s Who In American AUDIE MERRELL IOE HARRISON MARTHA CRIBB SUE HOLCOMB DUANE BYARS Campus Queen Chief McMurry Senior Favorites Junior Favorites Sophomore Favorites Freshman Favorites leqes and Universities ROBIN TIBBETS JOE PARISH WESLEY DANIEL BOB BLACK MARTHA CRIBB Campus Queen ifii� «fe Si SiSsMiS DUANE BYARS Chief McMurry KITTY BURK Senior davorites BOB BLACK JOY HUFF ‘Junior 7 avc rites JOE HARRISON SUZANNE TOLER MAURICE PULLIG TOMMY RUSSELL Coronation Class presidents and secretaries participated in the homecoming coronation cere- mony along with favorites, ana runners-up for Chief and Queen. . . .
