In recognition of the sixteen years of devoted service which you have given to McMurry College, we dedicate the 1957 Totem to you. You came to McMurry as academic dean in the fall of 1941, and you became administrative vice-president of our college in 1953. During these past sixteen years, you have rendered outstanding service to the college in promoting high academic standards, good fellowship and Christian ideals. VVe know that thousands of McMurrians 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 rubbed 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 with 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 McMurryg it extends back to 1921 and includes public school teaching, coaching, and the dcanship and presidency of VVeatherford College. . Your fellow faculty members have found in your com- radeship the spirit of McMurry 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 are honored to bestow this honor upon you, on behalf of all McMun'ians who have profited from knowing you. - The Totem Staff

Page 22 F OREWORD In the 1957 Totem we have attempted to record the day-by-day activities of McMurry 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 thirtz -four years since the founding of our Metllodist college, but life at McMurry in many ways has not changed. That long line for lunch. . .The work and fun of a club banquet. . .Those resolutions to stud early this,' semester, followed weeks later by llzst-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. P . . . .
