The CACTI Right and below—a look at this vegetative format ion combined with a little imagination gives you the beauty of what may be termed the water lily of the desert. RUGGED MOUNTAINS— above and below—forever challenging the hiker with its altitude, the geologist with its formation, archeologist with its relics, and the artist with its beauty. ■H DEL GARMEN £LUFF First, it is lost in a veil of early morning mist or hidden in a cloud, then the bright morning sun adds its rose tints of color to the deep purple shadows — the noon sun makes it a huge mass in a hazy % ors it, but with new colors—and | twilight ' s last gleam mingled with | the stars and. moon makes the major details fade into an impres sive and mysterious contour. Coronado didn ' t find the Seven Cities of Gold, but -you found it in miniature—INDIAN LODGE—the guaint structure that follows the cave-dwelling style of architec¬ ture—the official headquarters for week-end mountain climbers, pic¬ nickers, etc. | m OLD FORT DAVIS These few remains known as Fort Davis made history! They have lived to see the Indians at war, at peace, and now to watch over a quiet cattle village. MUSOUIZ CANYON Odd—isn ' t it?

HELENA A gem in the heart of a des¬ ert—beautiful—changeable by the hour—by the second —sometimes a treacherous, roaring river of muddy water — sometimes a mys¬ teriously peaceful-looking stream with its rare and colorful beauty enhanced by an ever-faithful guard— a stone wall 1,800 feet high. Gaze down upon it—search those hidden qualities which give you that inexpress¬ ible pleasure you discover in its beauty and wonder. Peaceful—the TWIN SISTERS wrapped in clouds—the town spreading across the green valley—spring breezes blowing the leaves of the campus trees and behind it all— the college itself. 1 P9ik m te 1 a r Jr M THE GREENHOUSE — without, it is just another building — within, it is a wonderland of the plant kingdom, where the desert formations mingle with those of the tropics. THE GYM—where youth exerts its energy in numerous sports— such as basketball, dancing, volley ball, etc. This just happened to be that exciting and amusing game between the Whiskered Wizards and the Lobos.

Collins H. A. Turner, Secretary, Austin When the first sun dawned upon a world, of plants and flowers, no light found its way to the retreat where the modest cactus chose to make its home. Birds of the air came to chatter in the treetops at dawn and at evenlngtide, and beasts of the field to repose under sheltering branches at noontide; bees in countless numbers flitted hither and thither to sip honeydew from flaunting flowers, and laughing waters leaped over cas¬ cades in glittering rainbows. But the neglected cactus had no part in the holiday mood of Nature ' s first fanfaronade, and a feeling of loneliness crept into her heart. At the close of a day a Zephyr came by and whispered in her ear a story of a wonderful land far to the West—a land to which she and every member of her tribe might go, and over which ,they would have almost com¬ plete dominion. And this is why the rugged West is today the greatest nation of Cacti in the world. Each tribe found a place where it could thrive best. Conditions of climate and soil were difficult, but the Cacti met these obstacles with a determined heroism. No human hands ministered to their needs, and Nature was not always kind to them. But their sturdy qualities asserted themselves, and each tribe kept true to its native characteristics. In every community there are many ambitious and capable young people who feel a sense of neglect by society at large but, like the Cacti, these young people should find that land of opportunity where they can develop ' in keeping with their ability and remain true to themselves. to ®?m ’. • May every student in Sul Ross find that place where he can best serve society, and then devote- himself to the accomplis with the courage and determination of the Cactus fdmily. •v,- ■ V. - ' v .

MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF 1941 ' Tis a troubled world you are facing, Class of 1941. To go out into a world of turmoil and there to make your niche will take courage. Can you take it? May I suggest four little words as your motto— I can do it. If you pin them on your wall, wear them in your heart, you will find them a luck-piece, or, if you will, a spur and a goal to achievement. . ; .V- Laziness is fatal to success. I can do it. Laziness and lassitude will obviate those four words. A man may be born a genius, but if he will not exert him¬ self, he can achieve little. This world of today has no niche in it for the lazy man or woman. Class of 1941, a niche in this world to each of you, be it high or humble. You can do it. Sincerely yours, A. J. Parkhurst, Dean of College. Alice Cowan, Dean of Women. Her efforts are devoted to making her girls a sample of fine living in all paths of life and solving each girl ' s individual problems. C. A. Gilley, Dean of Men. He strives to keep the mischievous youth obeying the rules, to make student activities more pleasant, and to make one and all of us his friend. It ' s either that or else - - - - see! ' Cause in the business office with Fred Williams and Mr. Gully, we DO mean business! Miss Hamilton and Miss Bacon can give you information about, or tell you where you can find it, on any subject from good rat exterminators to the best kind of island to be shipwrecked on with Hedy Lamarr. Miss Hamilton is head librarian. Miss Linn, of the Registrar ' s of¬ fice, is one of the busier mem¬ bers of the staff but she always has time for a smile and a bit of encouragement for you. We know Miss Strawn, Dr. Morelock ' s secretary, missed her calling, but we can consider some big newspaper ' s loss our gain! Hats off to Sul Ross Publicity Girl No. II Miss Daugherty, head of the book store, is the best known figure in a Sul Ross student ' s campus life. She ' s almost the first and last contact made in college! This is a representative group of the stu¬ dent body that provides a pleasant under¬ standing between the faculty and students themselves. O. Grauke President J. L. Powell Secretary E. Bentley, B. Pegues, A. Bierschwale, W. Carrico, N. Connor, M. J. Frank, E. Halmicek, R. Hawkins, W. C. Holcombe, M. E. Hudson, E. E. Johnson, W. Lee, J. Le Meilleur, J. Nail, F. O ' Connor, J. R. Peril, T. Rogers, N. Smith, S. N. Taylor, S. Tennant, T. White. 4 ' Dr. E. C. Coleman, scholar and philosopher—wonder if he could do it without that pipe? If C. C. Gulley says two and two make four, can you doubt it from that expression of confi¬ dence on his face. But a candid camera fanatic is al¬ ways looking for wistful expressions on deans ' faces. V . We know! V. J. Smith failed to ap¬ pear for chorus practice, else why should he bite his nails when ap¬ proached by Miss Batey. Dean Gilley might well be off for a glorious week-end of fishing if looks didn ' t deceive; however, our guess is that it ' s just a trig class. We know what it ' s all about, Miss Britt, it ' s minute details concerning the marvelous time the Sun Carnival Princess had in El Paso. J. C. Coleman— Fessor Quiz of Sul Ross—he tries hard, but to most of us X still equals ?. Miss Bedell—rare is a picture of this Home Ec. teacher and rarer still are the delicacies she teaches her students to make. Mac strives to please—music with a smile is his motto— he furnishes the smile, too! pi vSi v-imm immm mmrn ) 4 s WmMm IliigiMfeSf ■ ■ - : • I i$mim v; • i .??

Lutie Britt, Sociology W e can t see their faces but a glance at their backs would indicate that Major Problems ' 7 are far from their minds. G. P. Smith Professor of Primary and Intermediate Grade Edu¬ cation and Director of the Training School; B.A., Southwest Texas State Teachers College; M.Ed., Ed.D., University of Texas. There s more to flying than just knowing how to fly a machine. That is the reason Mr. Casparis devotes hours of lecture with his students. A class out on the ranch, judging and comparing, as well as taking notes. A. J. Bierschwale Professor of Agriculture, B.S. Texas A. 6c M., M.S., Colorado State College. Jimmy knows; Olie ' s interested; Lula Mae ' s curious; Mary Frances is sleepy; but if Mr. Kerby would just turn his head, Louise would get that note to Johnny and Business Law wouldn ' t seem so important. Typing is an interesting pastime if you ' re not taking it. Everyone likes Mr. Robinson, but we haven ' t found a soul who likes to get in weekly budgets yet! No, you don ' t have to burr” your head to be eligible to take physics, folks —just a fad—some people thought they could think better if they didn ' t have so much extra weight on their heads. We know that the students in this chemistry group are among the ' ' intelm gentsia of Sul Ross, for how otherwise could they tell what was that bottled sea of conglomeration. G. H. Walker Professor of Chemistry and Physics and Head of the Department; B.A., Uni¬ versity of Texas; M.A., University of Chicago. L : mu Mjj s 9 JBm V. J. Smith Professor of Industrial Edu¬ cation; Ph.B. ; Univ. of Chi¬ cago; M.A., Columbia Univ.; Professional Diplo¬ ma, Teachers College, Columbia; Licensed Archi¬ tect, (Texas). Such industry! Mr. Smith, do your students always work so hard? Walter, this course didn ' t prove a snap even if you did know how to use a hammer and saw before you started. Never a dull moment in Mr. Ratliff ' s class. Serious points are always best illustrated by good jokes. Myrtle Whiteside M.A., University of Texas; Critic Teacher. R. J. Ratliff Head of Department of Education; B.A., Baylor University; M.A., Univer¬ sity of T exas. Dean Parkhurst adds nonchalant dignity to any group or situation. This is apparent even when the group happens to be one of graduate students. Boys didn ' t exactly know what they passed up in this art class—marvelous teaching and such an arty atmosphere. Grace Bedell Professor of Home Eco¬ nomics; A.B. ; University of Kansas; M.A., Uni¬ versity of Colorado. Dean Gilley pleasantly assures his class that the problem is quite simple. If so, why all the intricate figures and drawings on the board? If there ' s a cross-eyed planeria under that slide, Dr. Sperry will find it for her —but imagine her surprise when she does see it. Omer E. Sperry Professor of Biology and Head of the Depart¬ ment; B.A. ; Peru State Teachers College; M.A., Ph.D., University of Ne¬ braska. ' Twas the day before exams And all through the library Not a creature was stirring, Unless it was a book worm. (We ' re just editors—not poets.) Bird Bacon Associate Librarian; B.S., Sul Ross; M.A., Sul Ross. Ida Fay Hamilton Librarian and Associate Professor; B.S., Southwest Texas State Teachers Col¬ lege; M.A., George Pea¬ body College. f mj •srv Miss Ferguson ' s speech class practices phonetics. The sound supposedly issuing forth is A . (Sniy Annie Kate Ferguson Associate Professor of Pub¬ lic Speaking and Reading; B.A., University of Texas; M.A., University of Iowa. Inna Lee Batey Associate Professor of Mu¬ sic; B.A. and Certificate of Voice, David Lipscomb College; B.S., George Pea¬ body College for Teach¬ ers; M.A., Columbia Uni¬ versity. In other words, Class, Miss Batey is trying to tell you that the only way to stay in tune while singing is to avoid getting off key. (No, we ' re not music majors) This is a real guartette, too! They can play almost anything. We say almost because we haven ' t heard chopsticks yet. Mary Stather Elliott Professor of Foreign Lan¬ guages and Head of the Department; B.A., M.A., ! University of Texas. These bright and shining faces might well greet any anticipated quiz— Spanish or no Spanish. Evidently Miss Cowan still gets the keenest of pleasure from ■‘T.a Vida de un Picaro, but some students just plain ' ' don ' t savvy. ' ' Alice Cowan Professor of Foreign Lan¬ guages; B.A., University of Texas; M.A., Columbia University. You ' d like to see the blackboard? So would we! Dr. Coleman, it would have been better to include the blackboard in the picture than for us to use our imaginations as to what was on it! G. G. Winn B.A., East Texas State Teachers College; M.A., George Peabody College; Ph.D., University of Pitts¬ burgh. M. Atwood B.A., University of Kansas; M.A., Sul Ross State Teachers College. Ladies and gentlemen, my colleague and I are going to prove to you, etc. Dr. Winn ' s classes are rather argumentative about this time of the year for debates are upper¬ most in their minds. B. C. Graves, Professor of Physical Education for Men. B. A., West Texas State Teachers College; U. S. Military Academy; M.A., Stanford University. Lutie Britt, Associate Profes¬ sor of Physical Education for Women; B.A., University of Texas; M.A., Columbia Uni¬ versity. William E. Lockhart, College Physician and Associate Pro¬ fessor of Health Education. M.D., University of Texas; University of Minnesota. The Physical Education Department aims to keep a student physically fit as well as entertained in some sport of his individual desire. The Sul Ross Summer Art School is a natural development of the envi¬ ronment—the colorful and unusual West. Here we find Mr. DeYoung instructing his group. He is noted for his landscapes, but this does not keep him from offering a variety in mediums and subject matter. - - ...-. • ■• ' v?, • •., •-■. i -VV.„• .•.••-• ' - . ■ ' $2 1 mwmr ■ . mmy S8IS! y x y : ■ iC : • . •• . m ■ MmM §| Sarah Miltia Hill Sponsor Sarah Tennant.Editor in Chief Olie Grauke.Business Manager Fay O ' Connor.Copy Editor Anna Tennant.Art Editor Margaret Stacy.Snap Photographer Pinkie Meredith.Social Manager Others contributing their services to the publishing of this book were Sue Nell Taylor, Wilma Janet Mills, Katherine Williams, Bob Bailey, and Mr. J.

These students are taken from that group, outstanding for their individual personality and achievements during their college career. The selected group is generally taken from the Senior class. Olie Grauke— Grouchy he ' s called, but for the opposite reason. His favorite indoor sport is eating; but he bowls in the high two hundreds. This good-looking Business Administration major is to receive his B.S. degree. Grouchy is president of the se¬ nior class, president of the student council, business manager of the Brand, a member of Pioneer ' s Club, International Relations Club, and an ardent advocate for anything that promises to be new, constructive, or just plain fun. Melvyn Douglas and Bette Davis are his favorite movie stars, but Sierra Sue is his favorite song, and we don ' t wonder. Julia Nail—Julia was one of the few juniors to be chosen for this honor. She is an ex¬ traordinarily talented young woman, yet quiet and unassuming. Her leisure hours are spent in reading and horseback riding. Julia is president of Sachems and a mem¬ ber of Alpha Chi, honorary society, and belongs to Gamma Delta Kappa Sorority. After seeing Bette Davis in The Letter, Julia insists that there is no greater actress than Miss Davis. Marathon, her home town, should be truly praised for giving Sul Ross such a student. ; • I Jimmy Lou Powell—When Jim tells you that she is from Rankin, don ' t ask her where that place is—you ' ll find out soon enough be¬ cause she ' s putting it on the map in a hurry! She aspires to be an accountant ' s assistant or a bookkeeper and is getting a B.S. degree in Business Administration. Her hobby is knitting. As president of Phi Rho Sigma, a member of the Student Council, W. S. A., Alpha Chi, Sachems, and Pioneer Club, she ' s one of the most active girls on the campus. Rucker Hawkins—This all-round athlete, from Quitaque, is definitely different because he has neither nickname nor hobby. Basketball is his favorite sport and he ' s competition for any man ' s team. He enjoys flying very much, and he is looking forward to a career in the army air corps. Rucker is graduating with a B. S. degree in Physical Education. He ' s a physical culturist at heart. Margaret Stacy— Most Popular one year, Most j Beautiful the next, this attractive brunette ' s ambi- ! tion is to be good at one thing—preferably singing. I Stacy, as she is affectionately called by her | friends, plays a mean game of table tennis, bowls, i hikes, and dances (as some people put it) like a ! dream. Being snapshot editor of the BRAND, she j enjoys snapshooting people; she is president of I Gamma Delta Kappa, member of Pioneers, Sa- ! chems, and many other college organizations. Millersview is proud to claim this little ranch girl, and so is Sul Ross. Edna Earle Johnson—This vivacious young lady has often been referred to as the Best All-round Girl in school. This title is altogether fitting, too, as Edna Earle equals or excels in every sport on the campus— tennis, volleyball, sharpshooting, archery, bowling, etc. Edna Earle also maintains a high scholastic standing. Double E is so graciously modest about her comings and goings that her countless friends would never know about her likes and dislikes were she not majoring in P. E., and had she not in one weak moment admitted that her secret ambition was to sing with an orchestra. This girl from Menard is president of W. S. A., and a member of many organizations. Walter Lee—one of the best luced seniors of the campus. His interests are definitely with the sci¬ entific world, especially in the sciences of Botany and Zoology. A great deal of his time is spent in the laboratory with a microscope. Here Wal¬ ter is studying a Hydrophyte and seems to be somewhat amused at his observations. Walter is a member of Pioneer Club, Biology Club, and other organizations. Wilfred Carrico—the musical minded senior who can sing as well as play musical instruments. He is a member of the Student Council, Delta Phi, Band, and Theta Gamma. As editor of the Sky¬ line he has proved his real capability in the jour¬ nalism field. It seems that Wilfred was caught at the typewriter as are most editors. The mere ex¬ pression on his face well explains that unusual friendly attitude he possesses. Shafter, a sleepy mining town, is becoming aware of the fact that among its younger inhabitants is a budding artist, Sarah Tennant, active member in most all the outstanding clubs on the campus— Biology, Pioneer, Sachems, Alpha Chi, Student Council, Phi Rho Sigma—is also the able editor of the school annual, the ' 41 BRAND. When this busy Miss is not engaged in her favorite hobby of design¬ ing, she can be found either on a tennis court or hiking. Her friends feel sure that the time will come when they will say, We knew her when—. Travis Jenkins seems to be the only memiber of the Junior Class who was declared a member of Who ' s Who. He is interested in sciences that apply to agricultural improvement. The times are rare when Travis is caught with such a serious expression as the one he seems to have in this picture. He is an exceedingly active student of the campus—presi¬ dent of the Pioneer and Biology Clubs, and a mem¬ ber of the Student Council, the Brand Staff, and other organizations. ¥Wm 4,- ,, ; -v 1111111 Kifei i.V ' ,1 ?-P’ §§§$ ••••• ;•..

There are numerous ways of describ¬ ing the word sport, such as—pastime, spirit, energy, activity, play, expres¬ sion, fun, exercise—but what describes it to a T are SUL ROSS STUDENTS AT PT.AY.

Poses like these are expected by beginners, now and then,— —but these girls look pretty sure of making lucky strikes. Volley Ball intramu¬ ral players have their picture made on the outside court. Here is a good shot of Badminton made indoors. Tennis is here all year round and provides a happy ending for the lucky winners of the Inter-Class Cup in May.

He pressed 150 lbs. right from the start, and continued to make progress the entire year. Hawkins says he is a shade on the small side for work of this sort, but he likes to try anyway. Charles Faktor is THE big boy around here and his strength is proportionate to his size. This is the first year for boxing at Sul Ross and there was probably more student interest in it than in any other sport. The college furnished new equipment in the way of a ring, mat, gloves, etc., and the boys furnished the action. A great deal of pugilist talent was uncovered. Class A— The Town team, made up of boys living in town, won the Class A intramurals without losing a game. Nam¬ ing from left to right the players are: Bierschwale (Mgr.), Bass, Reaves, Garrett, and Rede. Class A—The form team won a painful second place in the round robin tourney with consistent wins over all teams ex¬ cept the town team, which beat the dorm] three straight games. The players are: Standing, Ellis and Bradley (Mgr.); kneeling, Beck, Meredith, Page, and Bishop. In the third place was the Co-op Team. These boys made trouble for their opponents throughout the season, and made the winners feel lucky, indeed. They are—standing: Trees (mgr.), Hill, Sanchez—kneeling: Gulley, Howard, and Horcl.
