Cooke became the president of a college that for more than a decade had faced the threat of closing. It could boas: on.y seventeen teachers and a student body of 160 and its entire physical worth wax SS75.000—and that included a token S60.000 endowment crr.d the -acre- campus. The new executive lost no time in conceiving a daring plan that scared the most optimistic of the opamists. He decided on a minimum o. SI.000.000 in endowment and S75.000 in building and equipment In Novem- ber. 1945. ground was broken for the fir� ! building—the completion of Presided- Hall A month later, a project of building a dining hali wax assumed by the college exes. Then from his hospital bed after having hia neck broken in a serious auto accident. President Cooke announced his greatest thnli —the decision of Mrs. J M Radford. Abilene business woman and philanthropist to build and equip a Student Life Center She marked $300,000 for the project and doubled the amount in 1949 to meet rising co--' - With hi3 nock still -n a brace, the President sot out on an extensive fund-raising campaign which netted enough to build Gold Star Memorial Dormitor for men. An endowment gift of S5GO.OOO by Mrs Dora Roberts of Biq Spring led the way The name of McMuny has been synonymous with 'Progress'' during the past decade THE POINT In the 1953 Totem wo have sought to commemorate two important events in the history of the college. First, that in September 1923. exactly 30 yearn ago. Dr. J W Hunt founded McMurry College; naming it for William McMurry, area bishop. And second, that ten years aao. another great builder. Harold G Cooke, arrived on the scone to lift a colleae that lay stunned from the de- pression The Convocation ceremonies, held March 1C 14 in honor of Dr. Cooke and McMurry’s Ten Years of Progress could well be considered The Point between a decade of progress and A DECADE OF PROMISE On the adjoining map is McMurry College within another decade. A nat ural though: will be that the goal is too big. but a comparison of the college ol 1943 and 1953 gives substantiation lor belief in such miracles Las: March, a courageous and far-sighted Board of Trustees, headed by J. M Willson of Floydcda. issued the following proclamation and adopted an accompanying building program. It is axiomatic that no person or institution can remain static. In recogni- tion of our obligation to provide adequate Christian educational facilities for young men and women so that they might fulfill their destinies in this highly competitive world, provision must be made for their training in those profes- sions peculiar to this great western area. It is apparent that in order for Mc- Murry College to fulfill its obligation there must be a planned expansion of present plant facilities. The program should include a building program as follows: 1. A physical education building and matching endowment for its op- eration. upkeep and maintenance. 2. Two additional dormitories, one for men and one for women, together with sufficient endowment to maintain and operate same. 3. A library building with adequate book stock and reading space for business and administrative work of the college. Matching endowment to be supplied. 4 An adequate building for Fine Arts, together with matching ©ndowment 5. An adequate science building 3hould b planned with matching en- dowment. 6. A ccmpus improvement program is a project by itself with a definito plan of landscaping by competent architects and artists. 7 This planning committee in connection with the above items, should de- velop a sound program of land acquisition and an architect should be employed to prepare a Master Piot Plan of the whole area now owned ar.d that is to be acquired end :o make a layout sketch of the various buildings now in existence and those which this committee will pro- rvM � There you have it -McMurry� master-plar. of action for the next decade The name of McMurry is also synonymous with ' Promise!'' 1 DEDICATION A man and his wile drove up to the comer ol the McMurry College campus one day in September. 1942. and sized it up lor the first time. They looked at the barren acres and surveyed its inadequate half dozen buildings— one incomplete, one temporary and another disreputably worn. Only the Administration building was a college marker worthy of the name. It doesn't look much like a college to me, said the wife. It doesn't to me. either. the man agreed. That September day was a memorable one. for a decision was in the making that was to change the course of both the man and the institution. That was how McMunry and its seventh president—Dr. Harold G. Cooke—met. A short time later the two were fused and have been inseparately distinguishable since. In a parley the same day with the employment committee of the McMurry Board of Trustees. Dr. Cooke insisted. I'm no college president. and received a prompt You can learn reply. In the weeks that followed, the presidential candidate talked with several bishops; one of them Bishop A. Frank Smith who told Cooke: I’ll admit they haven't got much out there, but it is my solemn conviction that McMurry is the best opportunity to build a great educational institution in the church. The word build caught Cooke s fancy since he had built six Methodist churches, some of them the largest in southern Methodism—and he ac- cepted the post. In the years that followed. Dr. Cooke set high goals and made plans that had even the most hopeful doubting. I told them a big thing was easier to do than a little thing, be- cause a little thing doesn't challenge people Cooke recalls and it was with this attitude then he coined a spirit that can only be described as Cooke-ism. S. M. Jay, for twenty years chairman of the Board, sums it up this way: I have never worked with a man with such vision and determination—always planning something constructive, and then following through with dogged determination to see the plans are completed. He never quits. To that man who never quits, who has so successfully led McMurry College through the last ten years and who. in the next ten years, is sure to help make McMurry a beacon in Western Methodism and Education, we dedicate the 1953 Totem. The Editor. CONTENTS Thirty years is comparatively young for an institution of higher learning, and McMurry College, we believe, is now but an inkling of what it is destined to be- come. Therefore we have chosen the Papoose, the Indian youngster, to illustrate the various divisions of the 1952-53 college year as viewed by the Totem.

Tcxab November 21 ., 1952 Once In each person's life there comes the opportunity to make his best contribution to mankind, and to the building of the Kingdom of God. In my experience it was ray call to the presidency of McMurry College. I look back over the past ten years conscious of my limitations and mistakes and with the feeling that I might have done much better. However, I am grateful that God has used me in this period of growth and development of McMurry College to provide better facilities for our young people in their own church institution of higher learning. During the past decade we have witnessed a miracle of expansion and improvement; and as we stand on the threshold of a new decade, we believe that even greater things lie ahead. McMurry is surely destined to become one of the great colleges of the Southwest. Grateful for the cooperation of hundreds of people during the past ten years and confident of God's leadership for the future, we move forward with faith and confidence. Sincerely, G. Cooke dent of McMurry College 20 ADMINISTRATION GORDON BENNETT Executive Vice-President GARNET GRACY Business Manager JEROME VANNOY Registrar DEANS w. b. McDaniel Academic Dean S. B.

Katherine Northcutt, Dr. Joseph Roemer, Rex Kemp. Dr. Andrew W. Hunt, and Ellen McRey- nolds. In order to meet the need for the ever increasing demand for better trained teachers. McMurry Col- lege in 1951 organized a graduate school in the field of education. After the Texas State Agency granted their approval of the program, in August of 1952. twenty eight members of the first graduate class of Mc- Murry College were hooded at the commencement exercises with the degree of Master of Education. The graduate program has been most successful at McMuny for it has offered to those participating highly individualized instruction and opportunity for research and study in the field of their particular need. The Graduate program promises a good future with the ever increasing demand for graduates in education. An integral part of the graduate program is the in-service-program with the Abilene Public Schools, in which McMurry offers consultant service to the schools.

In 1947 the Indians shared the title, but in '48 and '49 took the crown outright. He can be credited during the past season as having moulded a dominantly inexperienced ball club into a hustling winner at midseason. The Tribe's comeback, under his guid- ance, gained notice all over the state. Moore actually already has seven years of service at McMurry since he acted as assistant coach his first year on the Reservation. He is ending his second year as Athletic Director. MEL JO WELL Head Basketball Coach 6 Assistant Football Coach Coach lowell completes his fourth year as a member of the McM coaching staff. In his initial season as cage mentor, lowell finished with a bare two wins and twenty-two losses, but then matters began to improve. The next year the Indians finished in a three-way tie for second place in con- ference after winning twelve games and losing ten. Last year, his Tribe basketeers wound up the season in a three-way tie for the conference title. In the football realm. Jowell spends most of his time coaching the Indian line, of which he is a veteran himself, having been an All-Conference guard on McMurry's champion '47 and '48 teams. He captained the '47 Redskins. D. V. MARCUM Assistant Football Coach Coach Marcum is a newcomer to the McMurry staff, having joined Moore and Jowell in 1952 in time for spring workouts. Formerly head coach at Rotan. he has eleven years coaching experience. Marcum's first job was in Roscoe where he stayed a year before serving 42 months in the Air Corps. After his discharge he went to Monahans for two years as line coach and then to Rotan for four years as head coach.

Present at all football games which students were able to attend, the trio led the campus in cheering the Indians to a better-than-expect- ed second place in the Texas Conference. GENE MARCUM Ehrle injected a humor—by means of stunts and skits—into the rallies that made for good attendance and at the same time let the footballers know the Reservation was behind them all the way. Acrobatics and tumb- ling saw their inauguration too, as a main feature at the games and the Cheerleaders assisted the McMurry Indian Band in several halftime stunts. WYATT EHRLE MARCUM 100 A RESUME AND FORECAST Coach Mel Jowell and Captain Eddie Behrends Coach Mel Jowell has just completed his fourth season as basketball mentor, aftd although great things were seen for his Indians for '52-’S3, the Tribe basketeers failed to live up to Texas Conference Championship predictions. The Indian hardwood men ended the season with a 10-15 season's record and broke exactly even in TC play—with an 8-8 record and fourth place in standings. Carl Jowell. deadly accurate forward, barely broke his own scoring record of past season while registering 534. Jowell. a B-3 man, came to the final tilt with ACC lacking 30 points in order to tie his record of 1952. He meshed 31. Three Indian starters will be lost through graduation— Jowell. T. D. Hamilton and captain Eddie Behrends. Prospects for the 1953-54 season are bright, however. Coach Mel Jowell used his reserve strength consistently all season, even started them at times, and they proved their worth. Rapid Jerry English could easily become a team spark and cool Jim Jowell. who held the best field goal percentage during the season will help mold a sturdy sauad. The hustle of Bill Anderson, the height and the spring of lreshman Don Taylor, and the know how of Fred Shelton, who experienced somewhat of a sophomore jinx should complete a foundation around which to build a strong '53-'54 club.

TRACK AND FIELD MEET McMurry College The second edition of the National Association of Intercol- legiate Athletics 'Track and Field Meet' was held on the Mc- Murry cinderpath June 6-7. 1952, with 300 thinly-clads from 80 colleges all over the U. S. participating. Strong Abilene Christian College. 1952 Texas Conference champion, walked away with 74 points and the N.A.I.A crown. San Diego State followed in second place with 45 points and South Dakota State coasted in third with 34. Howard Payne and Texas Western copped fourth and fifth places respectively. The meet featured such performers as United States Olympic team member Javier Montes of Texas Western. East Texas State's Chuck Holding. Richard Heber of Tempe State and Argentina and George Adrian of ACC. Wayne Graham. Indian weight man, tallied McMurry's only point of the meet with his sixth place in the shot put. This year's N.A.I.A. track carnival will again unreel on the McMurry Reservation—June 5-6. Oliver Jackson. Abilene Christian mentor, will serve as meet director as in '52. rWO-MILE WINNERS—Javier Montes, member of the 52 U. S. Olympic team, receives congratulations after winning the two-mile run. N.A.I.A.

Marcum, field as- sistant. TRACK AND FIELD VANCE HORSLEY Sprints The 1953 edition of McMurry's Track and Field squad was in the stage of rebuilding at Totem deadline; it was untried and its potential was a matter of speculation. Untried, that is, except for hold-overs weight-man Wayne Graham, quarter- miler Jack Chubb and pole-vaulter Ed Ammons. These three garnered 10 of the Indians' 21 points at last season's Texas Conference Track and Field Meet, held at Kingsville. ACC edged Howard Payne for the crown and McMurTy came in third. Newcomers. Bobby Skipwith. Humberto Martinez, and Dwain Pybura should bolster chances in the middle-distance events while Bucky Nix and Nolan Poovey show promise in the pole-vault and the hurdles respectively. Freshmen W. G. Birt and transfer W. T. Stapler are due to add depth in the weights. Vance Horsley and Donnie Smith share sprinting chores.

Its basic aim is to provide a laboratory for theatre and drama courses, and to serve as an entertainment and cultural force on the campus and in the com- munity at large. In pursuing this goal, the Theatre has attempted during these few years to present carefully planned and well produced plays representing a variety of styles, playwrights, and theatrical peri- ods. This past season the Theatre presented Moliere's Le Medcin Mai- gre' Lui in a new translation by Mr. Adams. Christopher Fry's verse play Thor With Angles (both of these productions were taken on a tour of West Texas and New Mexico schools and churches), the Abdication scene of Richard II presented at Willson Lectures, an original musi- cal comedy entitled Them Lovely Hills, a film version of Euripides' Medea, and a series of great motion pictures from many lands. Thus, in four years. MeMurry College Theatre has presented sixteen major productions, all of them written by the world's greatest playwrights. This effort has won the Theatre a large and enthusiastic group of pa- trons. and indicates a bright future of increased service to the campus and community.

Medea. Made in full color and sound, it is the first Greek tragedy to be filmed by any group in the United States. Hollywood included. Though at the time the Totem was printed the pre- miere had not been shown, plans were well underway for the initial presentation of the movie. Distinguished leaders in the field of drama, along with noted critics from all over the state were invited to attend. Medea. a classic by Euripides, was produced by members of the college's speech department midst sets on location in the gymnasium. Bill Adams, head of the speech department, served as director. Crew and cast take that well- deserved break. Director Bill Adams helps Jerry Powell with make-up. In order to place the filming project in the college curriculum, a speech course, entitled Advanced Production was es- tablished. Open to anyone, the course of- fered six hours college credit for the twelve summer weeks. The cast and tech- nical crew enrolled in the class met five nights weekly from 7 to 10. Even before its completion, demands began rolling in from across the nation- places like the University of Southern California. Columbia University—to rent the film. Banking on the ultimate success of this production, authorities enthusiastic- ally agree that certainly Medea has launched McMurry's venture into a new field—movie making.

Harry Soladay. one of the many young men who have given their lives so that we might continue to live in a democratic society. Thus we would consecrate the mem- ory of a former member who died fighting for what he be- lieved. Cpt. Harry Soladay Kiva was organized 13 years ago last fall. The club was originally composed of both men and women stu- dents hailing from New Mexico. Later membership was limited to male students only. The purpose of Kiva is to fringe the gap between home and college and to up- hold the traditions of McMurry. creating gocxi feelings by means of meetings and social events. Kiva begins fall events each year with a picnic. This year they also gave a Homecoming supper, hosted an all-school Halloween Party with Delta Beta, enter- tained dates at a Christmas Party in Hotel Windsor, gave a chapel program, held smokers in the fall and spring for pledges, and last came their spring banquet. Shoeshiners who became members at the end of the first semester this year were D. P. Ammons and Glenn Bennett. The spring semester brought forth ten rt!en who pledged. They were Marchand McDougal. Jacky Weath- ers. David Arnold. A. J. Hoover. Jack Darnell, Bobby Haney, In Pok Lee, Lyndol Harris, Jimmie Holmes, and Don McDonald.

Delta Beta upholds as its purpose to work toward the advancement of democracy and friendliness on the campus. Beginning social activities in the fall was the Homecoming luncheon for the exes. Next social event was the fall picnic which was held at Sweetwater Lake. Members and their dates journeyed to the site by way of a chartered bus. Their Christmas party was held at the home of Mrs. Schaefer.

Glenneth Harrington) Senatus Romanus was organized in 19S0 by students who felt a new men's social club was needed. The club promotes friendliness, school spirit, and self-accomplishment. The senators and pledges do constructive work for the school and its undertakings. Throughout the school year the club holds four picnics, a supper at Homecoming for exes, a weekend camping excursion in the fall, and a spring banquet. OFFICERS Pontifex Maximus .

We're wild, we're woolly, we have teeth like a saw. We want Cat meat. Raw. Raw. Raw” Remember? — the day Miss Luker brought the house down. Maiden La Gaytha Wood and Brave Tommy Bur- rows played important roles too. The Brave and Maiden lead the Student Council and the rest of the student body from the Old Auditorium to erection site of the Teepee Village. TIP had their poles pointing skyward soon after the starting signal. No wonder—Slime Brown is on the job. Male members of the Student Council try desperately to raise the Student Association Teepee—but with some difficulty. Most of the Gamma Sigmas played it cool when Teepee erection time came. All except Jo Ann that is-------she works while the others look on. M 161 CORONATION-COUNCIL FIRE LIGHTING Gridman Bill Cantwell gets pin- ned with the maroon and white by Elaine Graves.

March 10-13 for the 8th annual Willson Lectures in conjunction with the cele- bration of Ten Years of Progress under the administration of Dr. Harold G. Cooke. Bishop W.

On the side-line to give the Lectures an added color, the Fine Arts division presented an afternoon concert, the 35- bell Carillon was dedicated with Wend- ell Westcott. carillonneur of Michigan State College, at the consoU and the McMurry social clubs gave a reception. Mrs. Dallas Scarborough gave her rare library to McMurry, the National Board of Education donated $5,000 for the library and the Board of Trustees announced the expansion of the Bible and journalism departments. 170 Some gopher, eh, John? Now, just a hole J. D. had to dig in order to fix the steam pipes under the Ad Building Auditorium. La Gaytha shows perfect ballet form with the aid of Mrs. Trice while the others droop a little; Pat looking hypnotized. Gwen and June become full-fledged TIP'S—and celebrate with a candy bar and Coke. Just a few of the Kivas and girl friend Joan. Bet she kinda likes them too. Whatta ya know—Here's Tex Beneke and his Band of Renown or Orchestra or something. Anyway Tex played some fine music in the Student Center. We liked it. Dr. Cooke graciously accepts his gift at the President's Christmas Party sponsored by FTA, Kappa Delta Pi and Kappa Phi. Judy. Myrla and Jean represent the three organizations. A peon gives another peqp a shine in Piedras Negras as Prof and bandsters pose with their souvenirs. In-Pok and Pauline learn about another one of America's traditions—Coke. Barbara carries another tray while the remainder of the Delta Beta pledges wait their turn. Look for 'em—Dining Hall, every Thursday. Pete croons Bayou-Pom-Pom while Malcolm solos on the harmonica and the other members of the IHR Band keep time. Prof directs traffic as Santa converses with a fan at the Band Christmas Party. KWKC announcer Len Johnson, a McMurry ex. comes with his young-un. Just the men's social club presidents of the campus—Kem, Schooler. Sisson and Homer. 172 The Iordans, McM and Band exes, receive punch from Carolyn and Melba at the Indian Band's Homecoming reception. Circle K, junior unit of Kiwanis, was organized and these were the charter officers: V P Bob. Prexy James, Trea- surer Bill and Secretary Bert. Judy, Bettie and Millie deco4ate for the Delta Beta Carol- ing Party—the one that got rained out. Iris and Robbie “get with it on a Charleston number at the TIP chapel program. Flatfoot Nunn ganders on from rear. Cowboy Fred and Cowgirl Marilyn look cozy while Sonny and Nanette lean on an old wagonwheel at the IHR-TlP Western Party . Slimes at work???—Well, that's why we had Barros take the picture. Slimes Hill, Ham do a pretty bit of posing but Stewart looks belligerent. Some were lucky enough to get tickets to see the Hormel Show . . . Wow!! Ken plays it cagey in a ferocious game of Old-Maids with Stephens and Durwood. That's Darnell watching. Slimes Harris, Leverett, Jobe and Montgomery try on their beanies for size at the Bookstore. They're always cute to wear—at first. The McMurry Bookstore regained its reputation as a gathering spot at mid-year. The spot was enlarged, im- proved and the post office was even moved. 'Twas a big year for expansion. The TIP'S put in several late hours on their float with Delta Beta. Sarah hands Frankie the stapler while Sue and Mary Ann stuff napkins. The Maidenettes make like lionesses while Drum Major Akers wields a dominating whip beside the world-famous McMurry Indian Band's Calliope. I'll climb the highest mountain —that's just what these Kivas and their dates did at the club's fall picnic—a tired, but happy crew. A bulldozer helps the Oval bite the dust and a grader in the background does its bit too. We wanted them to pave the oval, they did better. They removed it. 174 Zook likes to play with his super-duper Hallifactor radio set when he isn't playing his Sax. He says he gets Mos- cow. We wonder. Candidates for Chief McMunry and Reservation Princess—Will, Richard. Peggy. Flo. Ken. Jo Ann. Bob and Andy. Music and a Madonna were the Art Department's contributions to- ward a McMurry Christmas. Drum Major Anne Akers—in head- dress and full er—uniform. The Wah Wahtaysees held their fall banquet in the Drake with a There's a Pot of Gold at the End of the Rainbow theme.

He performs at pep rallies. He is also a favorite son of the Disciplinary Committee. McMurry’s Maidenettes, cuties all—La Gaytha. Thelma, May Belle. Sylvia and Bonnie. 175 You never know what to expect at a Kiva party! Magician Stephens pulls a live “something from a hat at the Christmas party while Wyatt, another one of the many leva magicians, looks on with jealously. The DBE's and their dates seem powerfully pleased be- fore boarding a Greyhound for a picnic at Sweetwater Lake. Everybody's happy—but the bus driver. IHR adopted a club sweater this year—very flashy too. That's members Milo. Eddie. Joe Allen, and Lawrence qoinq throuqh the chow line. Hard working Ins spent many an hour working on the 1953 Totem. Here she got caught by the photographer in an off guard moment while working on the organiza- tions section. The year's library expansion program brought about the need for moving thousands of books—and a bookline made it faster. Maybe it'll be Europe some day . Band president Schooler smiles while outlining another trip. Secretary Melba and V-P Kern like the idea too. This young lady is known by all—-especially the boys and their girls. The clock on Mrs. Robinson's lapel re- minds her to blink those President Hall porch lights. 176 She never forgets. The whisker bearing varmits of the campus line up for a shot that looks more like Rogue's Gallery than friendly competition in a hair on the face contest. Kathy pours tea for the other Wah Wahtaysee officers at the service organization's fall tea. Miss Chris looks as if she could use a spot . Ko Sari was responsible for the improvement of Wah Wahtaysee park—or were they? Everyone here seems to be loafin —especially Tex. Sarah tries her hand at one of the old-fashioned pump- organs at Miss Chris' annual tea. Peg's and Myrla's expressions show that either the tea or the music is de- lightful. Remember the Iron Curtain around the football field before we played ACC? These offsprings of McM coaches don't seem to like the tcrrp. Mike Moore looks over. Bill Moore seems bored and Scotty Jowell is flabbergasted by something. The McMurry Band truck makes a pretty picture in front of the Piedras Negras Catholic church — down Mexico way. Prof Macon Sumerlin plays a fine fiddle—er, violin, we're told—also piano, organ and writes music at the drop of a hat too. 177 A D V E R T I S E R S 179 BOTTLED UNDER AUTHORITY OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY BY TEXAS COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY 180 A.
