EX LIBRIS llltai.. ■ PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF SUL.- ROSS - STATE - COLLEGE A-L- P I -MEL- • • T El-PV A.- S DEDICATION In dedicating the 1944 Brand to Dr. E. C. Coleman, we honor one who has influenced us as a teacher, a man, and a citizen. As a teacher. Dr. Coleman has given us appreciation of our literary heritage that goes beyond dates, facts, and writers ' lives. He has shown us the living pageant of the past that will stay with us when college days are over. He has helped us broaden our views toward our fellow man. His motto as a teacher, which bespeaks the character of the man, is Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make ye free. As a man, Dr. Coleman has been our friend and confidant. With understanding, sympathy, and discretion, he has listened to us and given practical advice. Dr. Coleman has a keen sense of humor. His detestation of sham, and his appreciation of the ridiculous make his light conversation a joy to the listener. As a citizen. Dr. Coleman has been an example to us since Pearl Harbor. He has obeyed all government requests and urged others to do the same—denying any person or group special privilege. He has studied plan upon plan for the post¬ war world, and striven to help us develop a sensible point of view as to the future. He has shown us how a goo d citizen can, without glory, best serve his country on the home front. Dr. Coleman is one of the best beloved men on the campus and in years to come, we feel that in our thinking, in our reading, and in our writing, we will still discover a touch of his personality. This dedication is but a small token of the esteem in which we hold our own Dr. E. C. Coleman. Lucy Hudson. LET US LOOK ABOUT v TH E CXmpus HOW DEAR TO MY HEART ARE THE SCENES OF - - WOODWORTH WHAT COLLEGE GIVES YOU I came a timid stranger to your halls. You bade me be at ease and soon I was As easy as a wild thing within walls May ever be. Ere long I fancied I had drained you dry Of all your lore and like a child who leaves. Its arms loaded with gifts, from grandmother ' s I thought to leave you; then one day I learned You had scarce given even a token of your riches. Another year, I see more fully all The gifts you have in store, except the one Most precious gift of love which one may have Only by staying near thee. When to the parting I may come at last I clasp the finest gift you may bestow And in my love and in your love returned I say farewell. I pray your walls may ever ring with love And hope for human kind throughout the world; And may your gift forever be the love You gave me. —Ellie McKenney ADMINISTRATION BUILDING Many tales both wise and great these walls could tell. Seeds of character dwell in her heart that await the eager eyes. LIBRARY BUILDING KOKERNOT LODGE Kokernot Lodge has made her own history for the college. MUSEUM The mellow soul of the campus is hers —Old treasures, art and music. TENNIS COURTS ' 77s your duty to furnish what the others deny—the healthy activity. LAWRENCE HALL What stateliness, what grace is hers. She knows the belles of the campus. CAMPUS COTTAGES and the BAND HALL What sundry folk have your walls held — Profs, Wacs, students, and protesting drums. HANCOCK HALL Those rooms were built for homes of men and not for frills of women. PHI RHO SIGMA HOUSE Like an old shoe, she fits and moulds herself to the shape of our hearts. She ' s home indeed, PRESIDENT ' S HOME They will not keep you standing at the door. GREENHOUSE She knows only spring and summer and growing things. Her gift is mental and physical health to all who come to play. GYMNASIUM AND NEARBY SCENES BLACK BEAUTY CUPID ' S DARTS SILENT MAGIC HENEZY MOUNTAIN McDonald observatory INDIAN LODGE MT.

MORELOCK President of Sul Ross KNOW SUL ROSS Friendships are among life ' s most valuable assets. They may be divided into three classes—business, social and academic. Business friendships rest upon mutual confidence and integrity, and profit is the motivating purpose. Social friendships are largely personal in their nature, they provide relief scenes from our daily toils, or they may be pointed to courtship and matrimony. But there is something unique and distinct about academic friend¬ ships. Students register in a given educational institution because of its over-all appeal to them. If their choice of a college is wise and they are happy in their environment, they almost immediately begin to take a proprietary interest in its development and in its good name. A con¬ sciousness of partnership stimulates effort and develops in students a kind of social and intellectual independence. As the years come and go, college days symbolize for Exes friend¬ ships rich with delightful memories; they will connote hours of labor and thought crystalized into sacred traditions; and they will embody the highest ideals of right thinking and correct living. If our students learn to know Sul Ross well, their Alma Mater will embody all these virtues. H. W. MORELOCK, President. DR.T.H. ETHERIDGE Dean of the College May This Book Help You To bring again scenes of yesteryear. To live again your hopes and fears. To work changes of this passing year. To cause a smile at foolish tears— And while away the time— Be friends once more with fellows lost. And sigh again for the happy band. To look upon the bridges crossed— Be this the mission of the Brand, A record of yours and mi ne. Sincerely yours. T. H. Etheridge. % MISS COWAN For many years. Miss Cowan has served Sul Ross as Dean of Women. She has ever held a place in the heart of all stu¬ dents with her unwavering interest and concern in the welfare and comfort of her charges. She reproves where reproof is due, but she also sympathizes where sympathy is needed. She maintains for Sul Ross girls the highest stand¬ ards of ideal womanhood. She shall not be forgotten by the students. One of Sul Ross ' s busiest men is Dr. Omer E. Sperry, head of the Biology department, and senior sponsor for seven years. He is now, in addition to other duties, dean of men. About him and in his heart clings the climate of sympathy in his day-to-day contacts with his students, associates, and casual acquaintances. There isn ' t one of his students that he does not have time to chat with or to help over some problem, and there isn ' t one of his stu¬ dents who does not appreciate and respect Dr. Sperry. DR.

SCHOLARSHIP BOY Calvin Richmond SCHOLARSHIP GIRL Margaret Wade BEAUTY June Fry BEAUTY NOMINEE Bebe Blanton SENIOR FAVORITE Ellie McKinney JUNIOR FAVORITE Janis Moffett SOPHOMORE FAVORITE Emma Hallford FRESHMAN FAVORITE Rena Faye Marable WHO ' S WHO IN AMERICAN COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES Stub ' s ambition to be a coach has al¬ ready been realized. He left the campus at mid-term to become teacher and coach in his home town, Edinburg. His experience coaching Freshmen boys should be of help along this line. His genuine friendliness and his fairness have won the admiration of all students who knew him and made him a good president of the Junior Class. He belongs to the Agriculture Club and the Athletic Club. A double major. Education and Agriculture, take care of his hobby, which is ranching, as well as his ambition. PABLO CALDERON Mr. Calderon, who comes to us from Ros¬ well, New Mexico, has a serenity and an air of good will about him that inspires confidence immediately. Reading may nat¬ urally be the hobby of a History Major and an ambitious Methodist Minister. Sul Ross is proud to have Mr. Calderon as a student. STUB DAVIS DORIS FABIAN Mrs. Gillett is alive with kindly interest in those about her. Especially skilled in art, she uses her cleverness in rose gardening. We have no doubt that her ambition to be a good wife is a reality. Alpha Chi, Kappa Pi, and Theta Gamma welcome Mrs. Gillett as a member. With a calm dignity, Doris accents her duties as Vice-President of the Senior Class, and member of Alpha Chi and Sachems. Her attractive appearance proves that she loves to sew and sew well. She is a Business Administration Major. Her ambition is to teach. MRS. GRACE GILLETT Since 1940, Ellie has been a favorite among students and a teacher ' s pet in every class in which she enrolled. Bringing Sully the habits of untiring industry and rigidity of conscience which was her heri¬ tage from the hill folk of North Carolina among whom she grew up, she has man¬ aged to be high on the honor roll, high in the list of individual achievements, and tops in the esteem of all of us. Her sense of humor, her steady courage, her sensitiveness to nature, her deftness in phrasing her thoughts, her sweetness and amiability need no testimony from anyone but are acknowledged by all. ellie McKinney There are few girls as genuine as Sylvia. Attractive, efficient, clever, dependable, friendly, and frank, she holds the respect and admiration of all who know her. She is a member of Sachems, the Press Club, and secretary of Alpha Chi. Her favorite pastimes are swimming, horseback riding, and reading. A Business major, she says her ambition is to be a good secretary, but her third finger, left hand, tells a different tale. SYLVIA MOFFETT MARGARET WADE Frances, an unaffected little handful of comeliness, was selected Campus Beauty of ' 43. She finished her work at mid-term and is now teaching art, her major field. We miss her sincere friendliness and con¬ tributions as a member of Gamma Delta Kappa, Student Council, and President of Sachems. She is a lover of good music, and her ambition is to lead a full and useful life. Margaret, who holds first place on the campus in mental ability, gives one a feel¬ ing of quiet efficiency as she goes about her many tasks as editor of The Brand, member of Alpha Chi, Secretary of Zeta Tau Zeta, Secretary of Sachems, and Sec¬ retary to the Senior Class. Her intelligence and attractive personal¬ ity have won her many friends. Her Major is Home Ec., and that she will attain her ambition to become a dietitian, we have no doubts. Sul Ross is proud to claim her as her own. FRANCES WITTING I OF WHOM WE ARE SO PROUD THEIRS IS THE PRESENT... SHENSTONE EXES IN THE SERVICE Our halls tell much of these who have Gone before us, a plaque or a loving Cup filled with liquid memories. Paintings impart to us a portion of a Soul that has moved on to other climes. And many little things; a violet, a rug That needs a patch, an ink spot, a broken Chair, a cup of tea—in one great rush We are crowded with an army of familiar Faces, and we salute with deep respect.

MORRIS A TRIBUTE TO THE WAC By E.C. COLEMAN All of us enjoyed the presence of the officers and personnel of WAC Branch No. 7 for the nine months of its establishment on our campus. Many lasting friendships between our students and fac¬ ulty and theirs were formed during those months. Not soon will we forget the pleasure of seeing the WAC companies swinging down our streets and across our campus in formation, or their five o ' clock retreats, or their informal parades down¬ town after hours. We willingly gave the WAC ' s their choice of our offices, dormitories, and classrooms, and we felt amply repaid when they told us of their en¬ thusiasm for the Big Bend climate and scenery and of plans they had for returning when the war was over. Not often does a college have the opportunity of welcoming women from every state in the na¬ tion. That was our pleasure from May, 1943, to February, 1944. For Sul Ross the WAC was a pleasant and prof¬ itable experience. In the future, when we recall the terrifying and ravaging experiences of this global war, we shall also remember with a small glow of pleasure that the war brought to us our pleasant experiences with the men and women of WAC Branch No. 7.
