■936 Published by THE STUDENTS OF SUL ROSS STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE H. L. E. Chenoweth - Frank Chadwick Rose Marion Dodson - Helen Ross Simpson Maggie Jo Bell - Gerald Wilson - . Editor - Associate Editor - Associate Editor Art Editor Business Manager Assistant Business Manager FOREWORD A college annual is successful in proportion to the fidelity with which it reflects the tradi¬ tions, the cultural heritage, and the campus activities of the school which it represents. If this edition of “The Brand” is a faith¬ ful mirror of the past year, the aims of the staff will have been realized. DEDICATION To a most gracious lady, Miss Annie Kate Ferguson, this edition of “The Brand” is dedicated with affection and esteem. The work she has done in dramatics has brought to our stage some noble and beautiful plays, but her greatest work has been in guiding young people toward a finer appreciation, a higher culture, and a broader tolerance. Her charm, her wit and her sympathy have endeared her to all who know her. y jv ' ' A, 7 CONTENTS CAMPUS • • • scenes BIG BEND PARK ad ministration-classes COLLEGE LIFE. snapshots.sports beauties- oraanizatio ns. ‘ : c vnpus ADMINISTRATION building LIBRARY BUILDING CAMPUS VIEWS GIRLS’ DORMITORy Boys’ DORMITORY MUSEUM COLLEGE SCENES BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK THE BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK On entering the gateway to the Big Bend National Park, the traveler finds himself in a new world, where precipitous cliffs pierce turquoise skies and where deep canyons shelter exotic plants and afford a last refuge to many species of game. Here, then, is a little Empire, which, set in the midst of the desert land like an oasis, holds in its confines the last vestiges o f the primitive West. It is rich in romances of the long ago-in Indian legends, in folklore, in cowboy songs, and in the border idylls common to two great nations. Here is a beautiful region which might well become a Mecca for every type of visitor. Here the artist may find new inspiration in form and color; here the scientist may investigate new species of flora and fauna; here the archaeologist may read the past, and the pleasure- seeker may enjoy the present; here the hunter with gun and camera may stalk his game; here the adventurer may explore and discover, and the sick in heart and body may find solace and health. “All things to all men!” And its appeal will not be least to those who come from large cities and densely-populated areas to visit the Last Frontier and to see, before it passes, the cul¬ ture of the Southw est in its sunset splendor. Those who have been pent up in cities will find freedom and exhilaration, will taste a larger life, and will return with reluctance to the tur¬ moil and struggle which they had come falsely to believe essential to our modern life.

To this end we stint and save, labor and wait, looking forward to the day when we shall have garnered such competency as will enable us to enjoy some of life’s thrills and guarantee us against want in old age. But the percentage of people who achieve the goal of competency beyond sixty-five is so small as almost to discourage effort. But there is another kind of investment which guarantees returns for every outlay during the time it is in force—an investment in an education. Its capital stock is native intelligence supplemented by heroic endeavor. Its returns are not determined by the caprices of the stock exchange or by the trickery of men. Its cumulative divi¬ dends are signalized by a growing life enriched by experience and fortified by wisdom, a character ennobled by virtue and joying in service, a capacity for winnowing values, a clarified love of freedom, a high regard for justice, and old age replete with delightful memories of the past and facing the future with hope. It is to achieve these worthy objectives that America has provided an opportunity through education for every boy and girl to earn a life by the investment of his best self. Sincerely yours, H. W.

The old-fashioned dances and open-houses sponsored by the Pioneers are high spots in the student life of Sul Ross. AGRICULTURAL CLUB The Agriculture Club is the newest organization on the campus, but it is also one of the most active. Sponsored by Mr. Bierschwale, the group sent a judg¬ ing team to the shows at Fort Worth and El Paso, where a number of awards were won.

In the letter accompanying his selection, Mr. Petty said that the choice was indeed difficult, as all the pictures sent to him upheld the old tradition of Southern beauty. The pictures are arranged in the order of his selection. C3 O I i j -v LjrsJ CARNAL P F t r ' J ss I—CI AU V Very candid shot taken immediately after the announcement of the Brand beau¬ ties. Sammie is blank with amazement; Frances beams congratulation; Anna applauds vigorously, Maggie Jo expresses delight, and a sneeze coming on at the same time; Elsie doesn’t quite make the picture, and Mary Jane is entirely invisible.

Red was handicapped by a broken ankle and then a broken hand that kept him from playing until the last three games, in which he per¬ formed ably as quarterback. Blackie was the fast-charging end who played in the opponents’ backfield more than in his own. Both of these men are seniors and their loss will be felt, but the Brand hopes that they are as successful in later life as they were as Sul Ross Lobos.

V Peyton, Guard Graham, Back Vinson, Tackle The Sul Ross Lobos overcame a 6-point lead early in the second half, but wilted in the last quarter under the terrific onslaught of the Texas A. I. Javelinas, who tore the Lobo line asunder time and time again to win the first Alamo Conference game of the season by the score of 18-7 at Marfa High School gridiron on the night of Oct. 9. This game was the highlight of the Highland Fair. : The first home game for the Sul Ross Lobos ended in an upset of the experts’ predictions when they rose up in the second half and defeated the Texas Wesleyan Rams to the tune of 13-0, October 16. Long runs by Archer and Craigo and the line bucks by Graham were the turning points of the game. The spectators of this tilt saw a Lobo squad that was completely re¬ vamped, in the way of improvement on the part of the individual player; mistakes were made by the locals but they were not the kind that ever caused them any serious trouble. Archer, Back mi Caraway, Guard Hefenbrock, Back f Barrett, End Luna, End Carrick, Tackle The second Alamo Conference tilt was lost to the shifty and cagey Rattlers of St. Mary’s University of San Antonio, on Eagle Field in the Alamo City, October 25, by a score of 25-7. Graham made the only touchdown for the locals early in the third quarter. Archer converted for the extra point. A journey to Pecos on November 6 saw the charging Buffaloes of West Texas State College defeat a revamped Lobo team that played its best defensive game of this season, before an estimated crowd of 5500 fans, by a score of 10-0. It was believed that 300 Sul Ross students and Alpine citizens accompanied the Lobos to see this game played under the lights at Rotary Field. Hope reigned for a few minutes in the Lobo camp when Luna returned a punt for 70 yards, only to be stopped and held for downs. Graham pulled a spectacular play when he tackled the ball and loped 42 yards. Booth, Back Wright, Tackle Before a home-coming crowd of approximately 2000 enthusiastic fans the Sul Ross Lobos took an exciting encounter from the Schreiner Institute Mountaineers at Kerrville, November 11, by a score of 13-0. It was the first time since the T. W. C. game that the Lobos had been able to get their running attack under way. The locals’ scores were made by Graham on a line buck and by a pass play from Thornhill to Luna, who ran 40 yards for the tally. The extra point was made on a pass from Archer to Chunk Tipps. A game of surprises was played at Kidd Field on November 20 before a crowd of 6000 football-crazed fans when the Sul Ross Lobos and the College of Mines tangled and fought on the gridiron, with the Lobos coming out with the short end of the score, 34-20. The surprises of the game were: that the Lobos were not beaten by the predicted odds of 3 to 4 touchdowns; the Muckers’ star, Heineman, was bottled up so tight that he could complete only 2 out of 13 passes tried. The Sul Ross touchdowns were made by Graham, who made two after receiving a broken ankle in the first play, and by Riggs on an inter¬ cepted pass. Extra points were kicked by Archer. Approximately 200 fans accompanied the team on a special train for this game.
