Through modern- ism we progress, yet we hope that the spir- it of the founders of McMurry shall never he lost through this advancement. It is the purpose of the 1954 Totem to record a part of the shaping of the history of a great college. The Editors DEDICATION Lile is sweet just because of the friends we have made. And the things which in common we share. We want to live on not because of ourselves But because of the people who care. It's giving and doing for somebody else; In all that the glory depends. And the joy of it all When we've summed it all up Is found in the making of friends.'' ’ Hundreds of alumni and students will immediately recognize the preceding lines as the trademark of one of McMurry's most lovable personalities. For twenty-seven years she has been quoting and prac- ticing this philosophic bit of poetry cn the Reservation. To verbally depict our honoree is a difficult task. Some attribute her inspiring influence to her mental youth, her enduring patience, her democratic and honest leadership; some say that it is her contra- dictory manner of poised yet pert dignity that is her magnetism; others are attracted because they know she always has time for everyone; still others rely mainly on her judgment for she never fails to supply the right answer. Although all agree her constant overture of friendship is a unique characteristic, it is her rare ability as a teacher that draws the most applause. Her classes are alive, be- cause you listen, not silently, yet attentively; you laugh, not at her. but with her; if you exert sufficient effort you learn; maybe not pre- cisely academically, but inevitably thoroughly. It is customary to dedicate the annual to an individual because of service. This year since we feel we are honoring an unusual person, we are following a somewhat unusual pattern. Not merely for her service, but for the spirit of her service have we chosen her. With grateful appreciation, admiration and respect we dedicate the 1954 Totem to our professor and friend, Miss Chris.

Whatever we own or desire is thought of in terms of its value. This process of evaluation extends beyond the ma- terial to the realms of the mental, social, and spiritual. The values that a man holds dear are the best possible indications of his character. Most values cue fixed in terms of money. Experiences are simi- larly evaluated. Entertainment or other experience is measured in terms of what they cost. An edu- cation is often thought of in terms of the cost of its acquisition. Spiritual experiences or ideals are evaluated by our investment in them. There is one thing, however, on which no mone- tary value can be placed. It transcends all mone- tary concepts and material boundaries. It is Free- dom. Freedom is our Priceless Heritage, and with- out it nothing else can have real or permanent value. Freedom lies at the foundation of all material possession. Without it. all values become ephemer- al. This priceless thing. Freedom, transcends all other values. The paramount issue of human life in this age in which we live is human Freedom. And Freedom, the divine inheritance of every person, is being challenged today. An attempt is under way to im- pose a vast system of slavery upon humanity. Today a certain concept of political government would not only place chains upon our ankles and bind us to the dictates of others, but would dominate and control our minds and reduce to unreality the vast sweep of our souls. This, my young friends, is the supreme challenge facing the present generation. Freedom must be defended or lost. Freedom must be loved and protected or it will be infiltrated and ultimately destroyed. A tidal wave of despotism—physical, mental, and spiritual—is sweeping across the earth. In our particular time it has taken the form of communism. This withering blight is in our midst, acting as a general anesthetic upon the minds and souls of men. Not to see it is to be blind; to doubt it is to be dumb. How we are able to perceive this danger, the fortitude with which we meet it. and the thoroughness with which we uproot it will determine the future course and destiny of history. Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Man was bom to be free, and above all else. Freedom is our Priceless Heritage—ours to defend and preserve. Sincerely, President of McMurry College 16 ADMINISTRATION The advent ot this publication heralds the end ot another year tor McMurry College, its thirty-tirst session. As you go into the summer months, some ot you to return tor the tall and those ot you who graduate to take your place in the community; there is a dis- tinct service you might render your Alma Mater. McMurry College needs to in- crease its student enrollment and you. the present student body and exes, are the ones who can do it. This year the freshman class had a thirty percent in- crease over last year. We would like to continue that increase each year until our enrollment reaches about eight hun- dred. It each one ot you would pledge yourselt to try sincerely to get one new student tor the tall, we would in one year reach our goal. Why not show your loyalty to your Alma Mater in this way? Sincerely. W. B. McDaniel Vice-President What is education? Some would say that it is the assimilation ot all knowl- edge. the knowing ot tacts, an ingather- ing ot information. Some would answer that it is the acquisition of skills, the de- velopment ot talents, the learning ot trades and techniques. Others would de- fine education as the developing process ot all the social instincts, the apprecia- tion ot music, literature, and general culture. True education, however, is more than these; tor in the final analysis, it is the unfolding ot man's realization ot his responsibility to his fellow men and his proper relationship with God.

Bennett Executive Vice-President 17 18 Garnet Gracy Business Manager Jerome Vannoy Registrar LIVING ENDOWMENT PROGRAM OF McMURRY COLLEGE More than S2.000.000 in living endowment certificates have been taken by McMurry College's friends and patrons since tho Living En- dowment Program was begun in 1951.

Bynum The McMurry Indian Band, reorganized in 1946 under the present director, has become one of the best known college bands in Texas. The whole band and special groups are in demand for concerts and programs constantly over all West Texas. The band has a four fold purpose: to provide an effective public relations organization for McMurry in the schools and churches of our area; to offer a musical organization for those students who play band instruments to continue their perform- ance at a high artistic level; to provide opportunity for those who wish to become band directors to further their training through band participation; and to nurture school spirit as well as a love of good music in the student body and friends of the college. In the past six years the band has played in Texas. New Mexico, Kansas. Oklahoma, Colorado and five performances in Old Mexico. In addition to its secular program the McMurry Band has an unique worship service that proves inspirational wherever it has been presented. Television programs have been presented over KVOO Tulsa, KRLD and WFAA in Dallas in the past four years. Special groups have made many appearances during this year. Membership is based on musical ability and rigid standards of character. McMURRY INDIAN BAND IN ACTION 55 CHANTERS Top Row: Thompson. Harris, Cribb.

English was named to the all-Texas Conference team in 1954. 1954 INDIAN CAGERS WIN 7, LOSE 15; REGISTER TWO VICTORIES AGAINST ACC The McMurry Indians, under the helm of a new head coach, Edgar Payne, won only 7 of 22 games in the 54 season, but in one respect it was the most successful cage campaign in McMurry's history. The rea- son: McMurry registered two wins over Abilene Christian in conference competition, to sweep the annual two-game series for the first time in 20 years. In Texas Conference play. McMurry won the two ACC games, but lost two each to Texas A I and Howard Payne. Payne won the Texas Conference championship with four wins and two setbacks, while Texas A I and ACC tied for runner-up honors with identical 3-3 records. McMurry's captain Jerry English. 6-foot junior from Phillips, was named to the all-Texas Conference first team along with Tommy Morns of ACC. Marvin Leggett of Texas A I. and Dan Owen and Dapion Miller of Howard Payne. Fred Shelton made the second all-TC team, and Don Taylor and Bob Harris received honor- able mention. The Indians dropped their first three games before hitting the victory column with two wins over Sul Ross at Alpine. After six more setbacks, the Tribe registered an upset win over the strong Southwest Texas State Bobcats, and then blasted ACC 67-52 on the Cats' court. Texas A I smashed the Tribe's title hopes with two hair-close wins in Kingsville. The Indians won a couple from Wolters Air Force Base, and then scored the second big victory against ACC. 82-74, in Reservation Gym. A Redskin victory over Howard Payne in the Tribe's final game of '54 would have left the final confer- ence standings in a four-way tie for first but such was not in the cards. Howard Payne s 75-61 win over the In- dians proved to be the Jackets' key to the championship. 120 McMURRY S 1954 BASKETBALL SQUAD The McMurry Indians for '54 ore pictured above os they appeared ot the stort of the season.
