THE EVERYDAY CCLLEGE LIFE Societies, of necessity, require of their mem- bers certain amounts of participation, and it is not long until one finds oneself caught in the routine too soon to become a predictable pattern of everyday events of college life. And as the various societal groups begin to place more taxing demands on their members for their time andtalents, it is only in erratic moments that one has an opportunity to be oneself. With- in an ordered student existence one relinquishes identity . . . is no more . . . becomes a part of something greater . . . 1966 BRONCO Left: Headbands for the thousands of school children that come to visit Teepee Village.

TEEPEE VILLAGE PROMOTES SPIRIT mill The traditional shooting of the arrow on Friday morning begins Homecoming at McMurry Col- lege. It was in 1951 that the idea of Tee- pee village was conceived, the inspira- tion largely coming from Mrs. W. B. McDaniel. Exactly twenty-four years from the day that the first homecoming occurred, McMurry students erected the first Indian teepee village on Novem- ber 10, 1951. Alumni and ex-students returning for the '51 Homecoming found one big teepee in the center of the block north of the Student Center, and there several smaller teepees ar- ranged around the big teepee, repre- senting the Student Council. Home- coming activities have been modified some since their introduction, but the Village fbeing begun on Friday morn- ing after the shooting of the arrowj is still of primary interest to students, exes, and visitors. 24 Exes from Lubbock have an active chapter of McMurry Alumni and came as a group on a char- tered bus this year to Homecoming. As part of their duties in the Indian Homecoming, Freshmen supply firewood for the bonfire. sf.-
