Zhe 1956 Zotem is ‘Dedicated to. . . SUSIE ELIZABETH MYATT OFFICE OF THE 1956 TOTEM McMurry College Abilene, Texas Dear Miss Myatt: W’t hope that this may come as a pleasant surprise to you. To us it seems only fitting. Perhaps you wonder why we have chosen you as the person to whom this, our 1956 Totem, should he dedicated. In the fall of 1923, when the doors of McMurry College were opened, you were among the first teachers to walk the halls of McMurrx It isn’t just the fact that you have been a teacher here. It is more. It is your determination to teach your courses from first-hand experience. This determination took you to the University of Mexico three times to study Spanish and to tin University of Poitiers in Tours, France, to study French. It is your willingness and ability through the years to sponsor, and lead wisely, organizations here on McMurry‘s campus. You have given freely of vour time to various organizations of the language de- partment. You have sponsored Gamma Sigma Social Club since its organization. It is your enthusiasm and spirit for the Indians. This enthusiasm took you to Missouri, Galveston, California, and other distant places where the Mc.Murrv Indians have played. These are the memories which make us feel that McMurry College will always be indebted to you. You have put McMurry first in an effort to make it the best among institutions of higher learning. Be- cause of this loyalty and love you have always had for our college, we humbly dedicate the 1956 TOTEM to you. Miss Beth Myatt. Sincerely, THE TOTEM STAFF I' KIs Zeacher, Jriend, and jCoyal McMurrian
