The mood was changeable; it was one of fear when the news of Sputnik was heard; it was one of peace when the NATO Conference was held. Searching people can create gaiety or sadness but, mostly they create an everchanging mood. Searching students created 1958 at McMurry. They settled new problems, upheld old traditions. They made mistakes, had to start anew. They received acclaim and were criticized. But they will be the searchers in the world of tomorrow. They created on the Reservation a world of changeable moods. We, the staff, have endeavored to capture for you these moods of 1958. If, while turning through the pages of this book, you can again hear the chimes peal out, the laughter and chatter of students from the bookstore, the band per- forming, the hymns sang in chapel; if you can feel the mass confusion at the post office, the taste of coffee and doughnuts between classes, the tension at exam time, the excitement of closely matched teams; if you can see the line outside the dining hall, the grades posted on the doors. Dr. Cooke making his welcoming speech, and the presentation of the beauties, then we, the Totem staff, have accomplished what we intended. This was 1958! A year of world events, but for you, a year of life at McMurry. May this Totem be just that for you, 1968. 4 — The Staff
