McDaniel was com- pleting his first year as «lean of MeMurry Col- lego. The nation was at war, and many MeMur- rians wenv answering the call to the colors. Dr. McDaniel’s advice to stu- dents then, recorded in the 1942 Totem, is a good cxamplo of his phi- losophy of learning and living: To the seniors and others who do not return to MeMuny, I im- {)k re you to continue to cam. The mind is like a muscle. It grows strong with use ana weak with disuse. Determine in your heart that you will ex- crciso your mind every day. This, coupled witn a creed that places God and others first, will make life really worth living. “Dean Tk. TttcDatUel. . . In recognition of the sixteen years of devoted service which you have given to MeMurry College, we dedicate the 1957 Totem to you. You came to MeMurry as academic dean in the fall of 1941, and you liccnmc administrative vice-president of our college in 1953. During these past sixteen years, you have rendered outstanding service to tlic college in promoting high academic standards, good fellowship and Christian ideals. We know that thousands of MeMurrians who have been associated with you through the years bear the utmost respect and love for you. Your soft-spoken, easy-going nature, your sincerity and service have nibbed off on many of them. As teacher, counselor and friend, you have helped us reach a better understanding of ourselves and our fellow students. You have shared your knowledge wjth us in the classrooms, and your loyalty and sportsmanship at the stadium and gym. We know that your service to young people did not begin at MeMurry; it extends back to 1921 and includes public school teaching, coaching, and the deanshlp and presidency of Weatherford College. Your fellow faculty members have found in your com- radeship the spirit of MeMurry College. We know that the city of Abilene and the state of Texas hold you in high esteem for the service you have rendered in civic and professional activities. Your active part in the work of your church is a worthy example and inspiration for us all. Because of these things. Dr. McDaniel, we arc honored to bestow this honor upon you, on behalf of all MeMurrians who have profited from knowing you. — The Totem Staff 3 . . . Page 5 . . . Page 86 . . . Page 153 5 L 7ote n 1 V Tttcfttuvut @alteye FOREWORD In the 1957 Totem we have attempted to record the day-by-day activities of McMumy students as they move in the circles of college life on the Reservation. McMurry has progressed in recent years until it is hardly recognizable to returning alumni. Styles have changed during these past thirty-four years since the founding of our Methodist college, but life at McMurry in many ways has not efianged. That long line for lunch. . .The work and fun of a club banquet. . .Those resolutions to study early “this” semester, followed weeks later by last-minute cramming. . .Class and chapel periods that inspire us to serve others — these things do not change. When you have advanced past the uncer- tainties of your college days and reach that secure place in life, we hope this record of events of the school year 1956-57 at McMurry will stand the test of time and bring you many happy memories. This is the purpose of the 1957 Totem. If this goal is achieved it will be for the Totem staff — as this year has been for McMurry and her students — truly a dream come true. — The Editors.

HAROLD G. COO President “President' 7fte4A yt The significance of institutions of higher learning in the life of the world cannot he overestimated. They constitute the receptacle of the past, the guardian of the present and the conveyor of the past and present to the future. The college is the repository of the past. In the volumes of its libraries, in the knowledge of its faculty, in its process of education it becomes the reservoir of knowledge, expe- rience, wisdom, ideals, spiritual concepts and culture as they flow down as a great river from the past to the present. If it were not for such institutions these values would be for- ever lost. The college is the guardian of the incalculably rich heri- tage of the present. Only as we interpret and impart this knowledge to those of our own day, only as we develop skills. cultivate imagination, generate ambition and discover new truth, can we possess this inheritance. This is the business of the college as the guardian of the present generation. The college is the conveyor of the world’s richest values to the future. It keeps its eyes on the future, l oth the near look and the far. Through the college the mature generation injects its best and noblest and most valuable into the lives of the young, that they may use it, improve it and in turn pass it on to the future. The horizon is the constant concern of the college. It envisages the possibilities of the coming generation in the importation of knowledge of the youth of today. The col- lege is the greatest assurance of a nobler race and a better day. 14 — Harold G. Cooke DR. GORDON BENNETT Executive Vice-President 4 Ti vuL ‘Sennett The many relationships on the campus of McMurry College culminate in three ideals. Each association should contribute to the fulfillment of one or more of these and embrace some of the elements of all of them. The first ideal is the growth of the Christian spirit in our hearts. It is inconceivable that any program of educational de- velopment should be complete that docs not inculcate a nearness of spirit, a sense of peace, and an active awareness of the presence of Cod. The primary goal of every teacher in McMurry is to make real the love, the grace, and the redeeming strength of the Holy Spirit. Not only do the teachers typify this feeling, but the many Christian organizations on our campus under the leadership of our students reflect this ideal. Second, the cultivation of life-long friendships is an important phase of our educational program. Every student is an important personage on this campus. It is essential that we know each other; that we come to appreciate one another; that we see the wholc- somencss in our associates and that we enjoy our companionships. Friends are our strongest assets, and the educational pro- gram of each life should include the purposeful developments of broad friendships which is most successfully done by being a friend. Finally, our educational ideal includes the accumulation of knowledge, the acquisition of skills, the development of tech- niques. a sensitiveness to l cauty and culture, the establishment of definite goals and a broad intellectual background to aid us in meeting problems and making decisions. This academic activity must l o of the highest order on our campus if our education is to be complete. It calls for dedication on the part of teachers and application on the part of students. It demands sacrifice, grinding labor, cooperation, imagination, but most of all a firm determination and constant vision. It is my privilege to wish that each of you may experience the full realization of the ideals of McMurry College in your educational development. — Cordon R. Bennett dr. w. b. McDaniel Administrative Vice-President Tftc 0OKtel Ttatet 'PwyieM, As always, the advent of this publication marks the end of another academic year. Each year, it seems, becomes more and more important in the life of McMurry College. Again, you students arc to Ik- commended on the fine man- ner in which you have conducted yourselves and tire affairs of the student lx dy, in your co-operation with the Admin- istration and in your handling of the responsibilities placed upon you. This devotion to duty and earnestness of purpose will stand you in good stead when you leave the institution. At the time of writing, we have under construction a new dormitory and a new classroom building. Both have l ccn badly needed for some time. By the time this is published the air-conditioned classroom building will have l)een in use one semester and the air-conditioned dormitory ready for oc- cupancy for the summer session. We arc rapidly building an institution to which you as graduates can point with justifiable pride. In keeping with this program, the construction of another dormitory and a ' science building will l cgin immediately. This steady expansion of the college in buildings and student enrollment places on you, as students and graduates, a growing responsibility. As graduates and students you definitely have the greatest influence on prospective students who may enroll in McMurry College in the coming years. I would like to appeal to von to select carefully those to whom you recommend the college, so that our student body will continue to 1« the high quality scholastically and moral- ly it has always l cen. - W.

The judging followed the traditional Totem Beauty pres- entation program in chapel, in which the fifteen nominees for the honors were pre- sented to the student body. The seven judges and tne fifteen beauty nominees are pictured on these two pages, as an introduction to this section of your yearbook. In the top photograph on this page arc pictured (from left) beauty nominees Jan Osbum, Margaret Sealy, Julie Smith, and Mickye Ward, and judges Charlotte Coff- man, student secretary at ACC; Hal Haral- son, student president at H-SU; and Lcs Sabo, KWKC news and sports announcer. In the photo at left, Totem co-editors Donna Culwell and Jane Lackey, who di- rected the contest, get a smile from nominees Becky Affleck, Pat Baker and Biddy Bartlett. Tne fifteen girls who participated in the beauty contest were those who received the most nominating votes from the student body in a campus-wide nominating election in October. 70 , , , ane t£e loveliest X all? At right, two more of the judges talk with four more of the beauty nominees. The judges arc Mel Thurman, Abilene pho- tographer, and Steve Cowan of KRBC-TV. The co-eds are Pat Bennett, Sandra Cross, Sue Corley and Yvonne Caldwell. In the photo below, four of the girls are surrounded by two more of the judges — Jim Ridgeway, KRBC disc jockey, and Clara Be the Coats of the Abilene Reporter-News women’s staff. The four girls are Betty Haines, Joan Harris, Karen Hopkins, and Jo Ann Killingsworth. The seven judges spent an hour and one- half with the fifteen beauty nominees at the end of the beauty presentation chapel pro- gram. They interviewed them as a group and individually. Each judge rated each girl on such qual- ities as oeautv of face and figure, smile, poise, personality, charm, graciousness, and conversationability. Score sheets of the sev- en judges were added up and the eight girls scoring the most points were declared McMurrys eight most beautiful girls for 1956-57. Till now it’s been a secret. Turn the next four pages and you’ll see who won.

This organization is the link between Baptist stu- dents at McMurry and their church. It is one of the best proofs that McMurry, a Method- ist institution, recognizes and respects all other Christian denominations and faiths. McMurry is glad to have an organized group of Baptist students on its campus, for it is true: We all l elieve in one God, one Christ, and one Holy Spirit. The club looks forward to greater activity and Christian service.

The band lias a fourfold purpose: to pro- vide an effective public relations organiza- tion for those students who play band in- struments to continue their performance at a high artistic level; to provide opportunity for those who wish to become band directors to further their training through band par- ticipation; to nurture school spirit; and to foster a love of good music in the student body and friends of the college. Since reorganization, the band has played in Texas, New Mexico, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Old Mexico.

The Galleon, semi-annual magazine written, edited, and published by the students of McMurry College since 1923, made its usual two annual voyages this year. The Galleon is an important factor in the literary life of McMurry Col- lege. Between its covers, opportunity is given McMurry students to publish poetry, short stories, character sketches, features, articles, essays, book re- views, art, photographs, humor, one-act plays, and other literary compositions. After a two-year trial run on a larger page size, the Galleon went back to its original 6x9, digest-size foremat, with the traditional Galleon on the cover. Tnc Galleon strives to strike a balance between traditional and modem magazine practices. It is hoped that the pattern set by the 1956-57 edition will be further perfected in future years, to give McMurry one of the best college literary magazines in the Southwest.

McMurry fashioned a 63-yard aerial march to paydirt late in the second quarter to make the scoreboard show 14-7 at intermission. Hie McMuny drive was launched by a 35- yard kickoff return by Weldon Brevard, and featured the pitcbing-catching battery of John McCrary and Tommy Watkins.

McMURRY 24, TEXAS A I 21 INDIAN STADIUM, Sept. 29-A 26-yard field goal by Robert Baker, booted so early in the first period that most of the 2,500 fans had forgotten about it in the fourth, gave McMurry a scintillating 24-21 victory over Texas A I here tonight. After McMurry had what appeared to be a commanding lead of 24-7 with only six min- utes remaining in the game, the Javclinas fired across two lightning-like touchdowns. Baker kicked the field goal with 45 seconds left in the first quarter to give McMurry a 3-0 lead. Then, with quarterback John McCrary at the throttle, the Indian express rolled 37 yards for their first six-pointer. Richard Tol- iver got it on a five-yard plunge midway in the second stanza. With Emic Davis getting large chunks of the yardage, McMurry marched 55 yards for their third score. Weldon Brevard powered over the middle for the last four yards, and Baker kicked his first of three successful extra- point efforts. Midway in the fourth, McMurry moved from its own 47 to the double stripe, mainly on two big McCrary passes. A 33-yard throw to veteran end Ezra Corley set it up on the 17, and a touchdown pass to Davis was good for the final 11 yards. Scoring for Texas A I were Cal Hutzlcr, on a nine-yard run; Bob Green, on a 76-yard nin; and Joe Holcomb, on a pass from Green, with the play covering 41 yards. Green kicked three out of three conversion efforts. Don Flippin and Kirby Lackey recovered enemy fumbles for the Tribe.

John McCrary was the big pin of MeMurry’s many-barrelled offensive barrage. Big John scored three touchdowns, passeri to Ezra Corley for another, completed 5 of 7 aerial attempts for 63 yards, gained 197 yards rushing, and kicked two extra points on two chances. MeMurry’s other score came on a three-yard plunge by Ernie Davis. Robert Baker kicked one out of three extra point tries. Although McCrary was the spark that ignited the Indians, others added much to the flame that consumed Midwestern. Redskin runners who wielded vicious hatchets in carv- ing out the Trilrc’s 392 yards rushing were Davis (60 yards). Wcluon Brevard (50), Richard Toliver (45), James Boyd (25). and Fred Schkade, Tommy McAdams and Baker. In spite of this fine offensive performance, the Iiulian cause would have been lost hut for some timely defensive plays by Bill Houston, Corley and the brothers Davis. Houston and Ernie Davis intercepted Midwestern passes. Big John bootlegs for a good and Houston and Corley captured one enemy fumble each. Other defensive rocks for Mc- Murry were Tommy Watkins. Charlie Davis, Gus Wilson and Tominyc Parker. Midwestern, trailing one TD with only a minute and a half remaining in the game, was storming the five-yard line when Houston made his timely recovery. Scoring for tire visitors were Gene Aldridge (two touchdowns), Jackie Weldon, and Rich- ard Parten. Weldon got two extra points. Tlie victory gave MeMurry five wins in the nine-game rivalry with Midwestern, which announced in December that it was dropping football.

Sharing star billing with Davis were Robert Baker, who kicked two perfect placements in two attempts; captain Tommy Watkins, who blocked the Aggies’ first point-after-touchdown try; and Guard Cus Wilson, who recovered an A M fumble on tire McMuiry eight-yard line to quell a serious scoring threat late in the game. Davis displayed awesome running power in scoring on gallops of 15 yards in the first quarter and 87 in the fourth. Quarterback John McCrary, who gained only five yards rushing, turned in a fine job of engineering the Indian attack, and com- pleted fivo of seven aerial attempts for 40 yards. Joe Kelly, leading ground gainer for the Border Conference foe, got A M’s first touchdown on a two-yard plunge which climaxed a 66-yard drive in the third quarter. Watkins blocked Kelly’s conversion try and the Tribe led 7-6. A fumbled punt on the 30-yard line set up the Aggies’ second score late in the third period, and Foy Lowery carried over from the one to give A M a 13-7 lead. Midway in the fourth the Aggies punted 67 yards to MeMurry’s 13-yard stripe. On the first play, Emic Davis burst over left guard and went all the way—87 yards-to the double stripe.

It was the biggest margin of victory ever chalked up by a McMurry gridiron representation. Halfbacks Weldon Brevard and Ernie Davis started the onslaught with a touchdown apiece in the first quarter, on runs of 28 and 3 yards, respectively. Sophomore halfback James Boyd got No. 3 in the second stanza on a 10-yard run, and fullback Richard Toliver scored on a 14-yard blast in the third. Ezra Corley blocked a UCC punt midway in the third period and Tommy Watkins scooped it up and carried it over from the two-yard line for another TD. Boyd raced 31 yards for his second tally. Early in the fourth quarter, reserve fullback Jim Briggs recovered an enemy fumble, and cli- maxed the ensuing drive witn a two-yard TD blast. Briggs got the next one on an 18-yard power thrust, after Wylie Wise had intercepted a UCC aerial to set it up. CHRISTI UNIVERSITY 0 Reserve fullback Donald Wills intercepted on tltc McMurry 48 and zig-zagged back to pay dirt for the Tribe’s final tally. Robert Baker kicked two extra points and Fred Schkadc got another on a running play. But for the six extra points missed, the Inmans would have set another record for the most points ever scored in a game. Previous high was 58-12 against Corpus Christi in 1949. Quarterback Bob Hayworth, alternating with John McCrary and Tommy McAdams, completed three out of four passing efforts for 40 yards.

Both of the North Texans’ touchdown passes in the first half came on fourth down, after the Indians had apparently stopped Eagle drives on the 10 and 4-yard lines. They were thrown by Ray Toole, with John Darby and Jcrrell Shaw catching. North Texas stretened its lead to 17-0 in the third quarter on a field goal by Mickey Koonce. Rol crt Baker intercepted an Eagle aerial on the McMurry 45 to start the Indians on a 55-yard drive to their only touchdown. A 29-yard pass from Bob Hayworth to Ezra Corley moved the oall to the NT 32. Toliver blasted over from the one- yard line and Baker kicked the point.

McMURRY 14, CHATTANOOGA 19 CHATTANOOGA, Tcnn., Nov. 16-McMurry‘s Indians spotted the Moccasins of Chattanooga Uni- versity a 19-0 third-quarter lead and then un- leashed a torrid ground attack to pull within five points of the Mocs before the final gun stopped it at 19-14. On the ground the Indians had a wide edge of 251 yards against 161 for the Tennessee team, but the Mocs nded the airlanes with 116 yards against 45 for McMurry. The Moccasins, who ranked 11th among tire nation’s small colleges in passing offense, hit nine of 14 aerials, one for a TD. A fumble on the Tribe’s first series of downs gave Chattanooga the hall on the McMurry 26. Five plays later John Green hit Bill Brown in the end zone with a colorful 10-yard touchdown pass. James Boyd blocked the extra-point try. Cus Wilson recovered a Moc fumble on the enemy 18, but two plays later Jack Archer inter- cepted a McMurry aerial and raced 87 yards down the unguarded sideline for Chattanooga’s second score. Jim Lindsey converted. A McMurry fumble on the 15-yard line gave the ball to the Mocs again and they capitalized, with Rod Cook blasting over right tackle from the one. Lindsey's kick was wide. With Boyd, Brevard, Briggs and Toliver car- rying the mail, .McMurry marched 66 yards to score with seven minutes left in the fourth. The next time they got the ball, the Indians drove 88 yards, with McCrary going the Lost 35 on a sen- sational keeper. Leading gainers for the Indians were Boyd with 69 vards, McCrary with 63, Toliver with 60, Briggs witn 28, and Brevard with 26. Tommy Watkins, Briggs, and Jim Jackson caught passes for the TriDc.

McMURRY 20, SOUTHERN STATE 13 INDIAN STADIUM, Nov. 23-Southcm State College of Magnolia, Arkansas, unleashed a potent passing game and a rock-ribbed defense on the MeMurry Indians here tonight, but the Tribe broke a 13-13 deadlock in the fourth quarter to win 20-13. The victoiy gave MeMurry a season record of five wins and five losses, and continued a string of victorious seasons dating back to 1951 for the Indians. Southern State jumper! to a 6-0 lead early in the second quarter, with fullback Jerry Daniel romping 59 yards to score. Lloyd Gardner missed the extra point. Halfback James Boyd, starting for the Indians in place of the injured Ernie Davis, put MeMurry back in business with a sparkling 4-1-yard touch- down nin with four minutes remaining in the first half. Robert Baker converted and MeMurry led 7-6. With five minutes gone in the second half, ouartcrback John McCrary went to the right on the option play, turned the comer and zig-zagged through the Southern secondary on a 69-yard sprint to the double-stripe. Baker missed the mark and it was 13-7. MeMurry stopped the next Southern State drive on the 10, but the visitors took over again and drove 52 yards to the pay window, with Jim Vandenburg getting the final five yards. Gardner’s kick made it 13-all. The Indians unreeled a 62-yard scoring drive to break the ice, with Brevard wielding the pick from three yards out and three minutes left. Mc- Crary converted to make it 20-13. MeMunry seniors who closed out their college careers in the game were ends Ezra Corley and Tommy Watkins, guard Cus Wilson, tackle Jim Henderson, quartcroack Bob Hayworth, and cen- ters Bill Houston and Crandall Young.

Results of those games will be found in the season record, Page 142. The Tribe’s won-lost record was the best compiled by a McMurry basketball team since the 1952-53 season, and but for a few bad breaks and hair-close defeats it could have been one of the best in local basketball history. Coach Burnham’s Braves faced a nigged schedule minus four veterans lost from last year’s quintet. These included all-conference selections Bobby Harris and Don Taylor, and regulars Boyd Sylestine and Bill Easterling. On hand for the opening practice were four letter- men, five squadmen, two transfers, and six freshmen, and on schedule were SMU, TCU, and other top college teams loaded with veterans. ' etuildOty' Season Coach Burnham installed a new ball-control, weav- ing offense, and instilled a new spirit into McMurry College basketball. It took a while for the Indians to learn and perfect the new offense, and they were ham- pered in early season by the giant powers on the sched- ule. This year’s basketball team will be long remembered, not for the times they won or lost, but how they played the game. They were humbled and outclassed on oc- casions, but they never stopped hustling and trying and working and improving. By mid-season the results of this never-say-die spirit began to show up in a smoother offense, a great defense, and more accurate shooting. Veterans Winn, Shelton, Anderson, Boyd, Williams and Gothard were bolstered by fine work of newcomers Turner, Looney, Senterfitt, Barnett, and others, and it became evident that these men will give us the nucleus next year for a brighter future in McMurry basketball. The Papoose squad, coached by Bill Alexander, also gave a good account of itself, and some of its members will be top candidates for varsity berths in the years ahead. Were proud of these Indians, and all we ask of them is “Keep up the good work!” The McMurry Indian basketball varsity for 1956-57 included (front row, from left) Tommv Boyd, Bobby Williams, Clarence Winn, Ray Senterfitt, Eric Looney, (back row) George Barnett, Jerry Turner, Carl Anderson, Paul Gothard and Bud Shelton. 137 )kcUok4, Stant Stoea rfqaiKAt STHTt, 7— Bud Shelton, Avoca Sophomore G 1L 6-2 SMU SWAMPS McMURRY The Southern Methodist Mustangs, fourth-ranked team in the nation, smashed the McMurry Indians 113-36 in their season opener, in the first col- lege game to be played in the mam- moth new SMU Coliseum Dec. 3. McMurry hit a dismal 20 per cent of its field goal attempts, with the red-hot Mustangs hitting 52 per cent. High pointers for the Indians were Clarence Winn with 10, Bobby Wil- liams 8, and Bud Shelton 6. All-Ameri- can Jim Krebs- led the Ponies with 24. JACKETS WIN 67-66 Howard Payne’s Yellow Jackets came from behind in the last 15 seconds with a 40-foot field goal to edge McMurry 67-66 Dec. 7 in Indian Gym. Stanley Owen hit the winning bucket for HPC. The Tribe, bearing little resemblance to the team which dropped its opener to SMU, held a three-point lead, with two minutes remaining, and a 66-65 margin with 25 seconds left. McMunry, led by Joe Vick with 18 points, hit 50 per cent of its shots in the second half, and out-rebounded the Jackets. Next in the Tribe’s scoring column were Turner and Williams with 14 apiece, and Winn with 11. LOSE TO TCU, SWTSC The Indians journeyed to Fort Worth Dec. 10 on another giant-killing expedi- tion, but the giant, TCU, handed them their third loss 97-52. Winn was the Tribe’s top pointmakcr with 11, but it was no match for Dick O’Neal’s 28 for TCU. On a road trip to central Texas dur- ing the Christmas ltolidays, McMurry lost two games to the powerful Bobcats of Southwest Texas State, 88-56 and 97-59. In their first game in January, the Indians outscorcd Howard Payne in field goals, but lost an 87-71 decision at the frcc-throw line.

TRIBE EDGED BY ACC MeMurry’s Indians came within a few hairs of getting themselves a Wild- cat scalp on Ian. 7, but ACC stalled off a late Redskin uprising to win 63- 60. The Wildcats had a 40.5 to 36 ad- vantage in shooting percentage, but the hustling Indians outrebounded the visi- tors 46-35. Clarence Winn and Joe Vick paced the Tribe with 12 points each, followed by Jerry Turner, 10, Bud Shel- ton, 9, and Ray Senterfitt, 7. RAMS RALLY FOR WIN The MeMunry Indians were thwarted in quest of their first victory of the season on Jan. 8 in Fort Worth, as the Texas Wesleyan Rams scrapped from behind an early 13-point deficit to de- feat the Tribe 76-68. Winn was the big gun for the In- dians, scoring 18 points and leading all players in rebounds with 17. Shelton was second with 12. Jan. 12 found the Indians at Portales, N.M., where they dropped an 81-61 decision to the Eastern New Mexico University Greyhounds. RAMS. SCOTS SCALPED MeMurry returned home Jan. 15 and won their first victory of the season by defeating the TWC Rams 64-55. A stiff zone defense combined with the circus shooting of Bud Shelton paid off for the Redskins. Shelton got 23 points. Hitting the road again Jan. 19, the Indians scored a sizzling 72 per cent of their field goal attempts and outre- bounded the Wayland Pioneers, but lost 60-56. Tommy Bovd and Jerry Turner led the Tribe with 18 and 12 points, respectively. After a week’s layoff for semester exams, the Indians returned to the war- path Jan. 26 to take a fiery 73-71 vic- tory over the semi-pro McDonald Scots. Joe Vick led the Indian basket mak- ers with 13 points, closely followed by Bud Shelton with 11, Winn with 10, Jerry Turner 9, and Eric Looney and Bobby Williams, 8 apiece. It was a team victory all the way. Shelton to Gothard to Joe Vick scores with a crip shot. (CONTINUED ON PAGE 140) Looney. 7e� eu. TOecictftm U “?Oict lidc Victim.

Bobby Williams and Joe Vick led the Indians with 10 points each, followed by Bud Shelton with 8. DEFEAT PEMEX TWICE McMurry returned to the home court Feb. 1-2 to win two victories over the Green Tide Oilers of Poza Rica, Mexico, by scores of 70-49 and 71-67. High pointer for the Mexican na- tional champion quintet in the first game was Jorge Renteria with 14 points. McMuriy’s two tall post men, Jerry Turner and Carl Anderson, led the In- dians with 13 and 12. In the second contest, Clarence Winn poured in 22 points on 11 field goals to spark the Tribe, with Shelton scoring 11 and Williams 10. REDSKINS RIP SERVICEMEN Starting an eight-day road trip to the gulf coast on Feb. 5, McMurry took an 81-61 victory over the Camp Wolters Army Rockets in Mineral Wells. The next night they were in Waco to collect a 66-62 overtime victory over James Connally Air Force Base. Eric Looney and Winn were high point men against the two service foes, with lots of help from Turner, Anderson, Ray Sentertitt, Shelton and others. The veteran Lamar Tech Cardinals snipped McMurry’s four-game win streak Feb. 7 with a 78-49 victory in Beaumont. Turner was the high-point Indian with 13, while Shelton got 9 and Scntcrfitt and Winn meshed 8 apiece.

MeMurry hit 52 per cent of its shots, but got only 40 chances. The Comets connected only 30 per cent of the time, but tried 91. Brooke had a 58-25 edge in rebounds. Bud Shelton was high for the In- dians with 14 points, with Bobby Wil- liams, Jerry Turner, and Clarence Winn hitting 10 apiece. SPLIT UCC DOUBLEHEADER The Redskins split a twin bill with the University of Corpus Christi Feb. 11-12 at Corpus, winning the first game 80-70 and dropping the second 73-66. Winn paced the Tribe victory with 15 points, while Williams, Shelton and Bonny Boyd each hit 13. In the second game, it was Winn leading again with 16. Williams scored 12 and Eric Looney 10 for runner-up laurels. Returning home Feb. 16, MeMurry dropped a close decision, 63-57, to the Wayland Pioneers. The Indians hit 23 field goals to 21 for the Pioneers, but Wayland won with a 21-11 advantage in free points. TRIBE TRIPS LAMAR Me Murry’s Warriors downed the Lamar Tech Cardinals 73-66 on Feb. 19 to revenge the earlier loss at Beau- mont. Tlic Tribesmen hit 42 per cent of their shots, and defensed the Cards to perfection. Winn was again MeMurry’s man of the hour, scoring 20 points and grab- bing numerous recoveries and rebounds. Turner and Williams scored 14 and 12, respectively. High-pointer for the game, how- ever, was former H-SU freshman ace Bob Thompson, who hit 22 points for the Redbirds, mostly from way out.

Jerry Turner's whecl-and-jump shot was working to perfection as the big Indian got 19 points, follower! by Carl Anderson and Clar- ence Winn with 14 apiece, Ray Senterfitt with 10, and Bud Shelton and Booby Williams, 9 each. The Woltcrs triumph, however, was the costliest of the season, as Winn sustained a badly sprained ankle in tire final five minutes. The injury' kept him out of action against Mid- western Feb. 25, and MeMurry lost 95-77. ACC NIPS McM IN OVERTIME Tire Indians outscorcd the ACC Wildcats for all but 1:25 minutes of their Feb. 26 game at Bennett Gymn, but the Cats tied it up 64-64 as time ran out in the regulation game, and went on to score a 74-71 victory in the over- time.

Cene was president of the MeMurry Press Club. He was elected parliamentarian of TIPA at last year’s con- vention in San Angelo. Gene was a member of the McMuny College Band during his freshman year; and was in the Chant- ers, mixed choral group, as a sophomore. He was a member of Forum, men’s religious organi- zation; Wesley Players, religious drama group; the Span- — February 24, 1957 ish Club; and Ko Sari men’s social club, which he served as Scribe. Gene had served on both the Mc- Muny Student Senate and the Student Council. Even though Cenes great and beautiful life was shared with us for only a short time, we liave become bigger, better and fuller because we can say we knew and worked with a true Servant of the House of the Lord. Mau each of us take the example of this life and seek a higher and nobler life, that each of us might come to the end of life and it might be said, as we say now about the life of Cene Davidson, that the battle teas fought, the race was won, and it was good. 165 •di c ok 7 e “Re erwatioK In the picture above.

IN MEMORIAM WILLIE MAE CHRISTOPHER July 6, 1893 Miss Willie Mae Christopher, Professor in the English department at MeMurry College, died unexpectedly of a heart attack on Saturday morning, April 6, 1957, at her home in Abilene. “Miss Chris,” as we knew her, belonged to MeMurry, or MeMurry belonged to Miss Chris. You couldn’t be sure which. She joined the MeMurry faculty in 1926. She was a great teacher. Her favorite courses were Life and Literature of the Southwest,” advanced gram- mar, American literature and sophomore English. She was a wonderful leader, having served as spon- April 6, 1957 sor of Wah Wahtayscc, TIP, and a number of classes. 'Hie Totem was dedicated to her in 1934 and 1954. Miss Chris typified MeMurry, and'the following lines of one of her favorite poems typified Miss Chris. Life 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 our- selves . . . But because of the jtcoplc who care . . . It’s giving and doing for somebody else ... In all, that the glory dc wnds . . . And the joy of it all. When we’ve summed it all up ... Is found in the making of friends. 168 s4ctventi en Jie HOTeiU OOiTIEn Abilene's Home-Owned Hotel H. W.
