Text from Pages 1 - 224 of the 1957 volume:

Lithographed by Steck Coyer by Universal Carroll Schoenewolf, Editor Mary Jo Meyer, Business Manager Oscar Travland, Head Photographe Doyle Stout, Sports Editor Richard Lengel, Cover Design Nell Nixon, Monette Schweers, Bill Brady, Associate Editors == % SUL ROSS Sul Ross is a fully accredited, coeducational college located deep in West Texas. Total en¬ rollment this year was slightly over the thous¬ and mark. Plans of expansion are to materialize in the near future and include a new science build¬ ing, a men’s dormitory, a gym with an indoor swimming pool, and an enlargement of the present dining hall. The above and other growth to be witnessed at Sul Ross State College presently leaves little room for apprehension as to new ad¬ vances to come in the future. IN ALPINE A vital asset to a school is the cooperation of the populus of the city in which the school is loca¬ ted, and vice versa. In a small town, particularly, this holds true, and Alpine more or less holds its own in this direction. Alpine is a typical small town except for the fact that it is lo¬ cated in one of the most health¬ ful climates in Texas. It is not falsely called “The Roof Garden of Texas.” And it is true that the summers are cool and the winters mild, with only a few dust storms marring this record.

The remainder of this book pays tribute to the school, but these two pages we dedicate to the grandeur of West Texas ... its mountains, its sunsets, its plants. We have tried to tell and show on these pages that the mountains are more majestic, the sunsets more flaming, and the plants more beautiful than most, but we can never create with words and pictures the personal sensation involved in seeing and feeling these aesthetic values as an on-the-spot witness. We have seen. We have felt. We dedicate.

Freshmen Have Busy First Week The first week of school is one of the busiest of the year for freshmen. They must adjust themselves to an expe¬ rience that is new and different. Parties, registration, and initiation hit them from all sides, and for a while they do not quite know exactly what is going on. In no time at all, however, they learn what college is all about and most of them buckle down and do their share to make the year a successful one. Beanie-clad freshmen join in the games arranged for them to help them feel more at ease and enjoy college. m Surrounded by upperclassmen, the poor fish at left calmly allows himself to be painted up. Registration is a pretty confusing thing for freshmen going through it for the first time. Under the right counseling, they soon find out which courses they must take accord¬ ing to their respective fields of endeavor. [education ENGLISH While in the process of the traditional painting of the SR mountain, these four freshmen stop to smile for the cameraman. 19 During hunting season a hunting license is necessary. Seldom, however, does the game to be hunted help sell the licenses. SR Observes Twirp Week Sul Ross students observed Twirp Week this year, especially the girls. Although the girls were not as aggressive as the boys had hoped they would be, both found it to be fun while it lasted. Twirp Week was begun with a sock- hop. The couple above is shown get¬ ting ready to hop. It was quite a switch to see a girl cut¬ ting-in on another girl One of the busiest places on the campus during certain hours, which come around three times a day, is the cafeteria, especially the serving-line part. Cafeteria Replaces Home Cooking Most students think that Mother can do a better job of cooking, but then, she does not have quite as many children. 1 I Library Not Popular But Busy When the noise in the dorm gets a little too loud, or when research is in store, the library is the place to go. There a student can find knowledge and librarians for his benefit. True, some students would rather do many other things than go to the library, but sooner or later nearly all realize its true value and take advantage of it. Mr. Dudley Dobie poses in the Texana room, a room in the library devoted entirely to books concerning Texas, and a room toward which Mr. Dobie has contributed much. Librarians are always eager to help the students with their problems, and students run into quite a few prob¬ lems at this place. A student helper works on some books while he keeps vigil. The Student Union Building is one of the places on the campus where male students can find work. Many Students Work The college offers numerous jobs to students attending school here. Campus jobs vary from office jobs to janitorial jobs with such jobs as library, clerical, publications, cafeteria and lab assistants falling in between. Most of the students who hold part-time jobs on the campus find that their jobs pay for all of their schooling; all are helped considerably. Below a biology lab assistant explains the inside story of a shark to the stu¬ dents in his lab. This girl is busy at her job on one of the publications staffs. Probably one of the best jobs a student can have is in the school library. Oscar Travland is lab instructor in the photography depart¬ ment He also takes pictures for the publications. There seem to be quite a few typewriters that need pounding on. 25 Girls Find New World Out from under the family wings and into a new world come the co-eds as they walk into the front door of their new home—the girls’ dormi¬ tory. In a matter of a few days they are all settled down and ready to go to work, and the job is comparatively easy at Sul Ross because of the three- boy-to-one-girl ratio. And even when the job is not going too well, there are always many friends who know something dirty about other friends, and so the hen party begins. Ah, what a lif e - Sarah Wheeler buzzes one oi the girls for Sonny Willis. One of the more popular assets of Ferguson seems to be the television set. See the new dress that Daddy bought me! Some girls prefer to laugh themselves to sleep. Jean Rogers finds a comfortable way to study. Men Adopt Themselves To Dorm Life Leaving mother’s gentle care and spending years in a dormitory with other young ruffians is quite a step for a young man to take, but most of them prove triumphant. They quickly make friends, especially with the opposite sex (the mother instinct), and in no time at all their homesickness leaves them and is replaced by “school- sickness.” But this they manage to out-live, too, and usually look back upon with a smile on their faces. w Inevitably, the time comes when studying must be done. A quick shower and off to class. 30 One of the more enjoyable parts of college life—the anticipation of a date. Boys in the dorm are forced to become domestic what with making beds, darning socks, and unstacking rooms. 31 One of the foremost pastimes in the dorm is the nightly gathering to relax, smoke, and play cards. Trying to keep their muscles in good shape, these students strain at the pool tables and shuifleboards in the game room in the SUB. SUB Furnishes Recreation When the bell ending a class or a day of classes rings, all roads lead to the Student Union Building. Students gather there for refreshments, gossip, games, and various relaxations. The SUB is also the scene of college dances and sometimes, college ro¬ mances. It might be said that the reason for the existence of the SUB is to furnish the play part of a well-balanced work and play curriculum. The Corral supplies the stu¬ dents with books, school sup¬ plies, candies, and coffee . . . the primary necessity of life. The SUB is the scene of many dances, which are attended by students and faculty alike. Girls and boys get together for friendly chats about school? Enthusiastic young students, eager to exercise and broaden their minds to the fullest extent, take advantage of the checker and chess games in the SUB. Band Day Bigger Than Ever The combination of a huge parade, an action- packed football game, and eleven visiting high school bands made the ’56 Sul Ross Band Day one of the biggest since its beginning. The suc¬ cess of Band Day was a result of the careful plan¬ ning and hard work of Sul Ross’ honorary band fraternity known as Kappa Kappa Psi, and the Lobo Band director, Joe Bellamah. Their thanks came in a package labelled “Job Well-Done.” The cheerleaders beam at the camera as they ride in the parade. The Rossonian Choristers and Tau Beta Sigma were two of the many campus organizations represented in the Band Day Parade. Faculty members chat over coffee in the Sub between classes. Faculty Takes A Break Teaching is not all that a teacher does (true, some do not do that); he also re¬ laxes with his hobby or his friends and loved ones. Teachers, like rabbits, often even enjoy themselves more than people. And this, students like to see, because despite their outward display of dislike for teachers in general, the students know the value of a good teacher. 35 Alter the presentation of the flowers and crowns by Dr. Wildenthal, the entire group posed for this picture.

The lighted star on top of the Main Building did much to entertain a Christmas spirit at Sully. Was The Week Before Christmas The week before school let out for the Christmas holidays was one overflowing with parties, caroling, dances, decorating, and packing. Studies took a secondary role as the Christmas spirit filled the air. The merchants downtown saw more of the stu¬ dents than the teachers did. And when the students were in class physically, mentally they were at home sitting around the Christmas tree with their families . . . but then, so were the teachers. 38 Boys living in Hancock Hall have the annual distinction of being the ones to decorate the tree in the SUB. More than one Christmas dance was held before school was turned out for the holidays. What is Christmas without a few carols? Nothing can beat spending Christmas at home with the family and loved ones. All the girls working in the Main Building decided to have a little Christmas party of their own. Typical as can be is this shot of a couple walking down the walk talking, laughing, and holding hands. Dating Most Popular Activity Who cares to study when there is a member of the opposite sex around, or, what better way to relieve the monotony of studies is there than to spend some time with a girl ... if you are a boy. And if you are a girl, well, a major in campusology neces¬ sitates quite a few lab hours. And then there is the girl who turns the lab hours into blab hours and ends up talking to herself. 40 Naturally, a dance brings the couples out in large numbers to shuffle and flirt, and to whirl a skirt. The movies furnish one of the major pastimes for couples. Drive-ins, of course, rank higher than the indoor movie houses. When the feet get tired of being stepped on it is time to sit out a dance to chat and drink. Y alentine Queens Crowned The Valentine dance and corona¬ tion of the queens was very success¬ ful this year. It drew a good-sized audience and all the crowns were put on straight in the first attempt. The dance is an annual affair and is sponsored jointly by the sorori¬ ties Alpha Kappa Phi, Sigma Rho Chi, and Zeta Tau Zeta. The first step of the coronation exercises gets under way as the sweethearts and escorts march to the throne two by two. The procession reaches the place where the crowning is to take place and promptly re¬ ceive their crowns and flowers. After the crowning the sweethearts and escorts lead off the first dance. 42 Texas Weather Unpredictable Weather in West Texas is as unpredictable as a woman, and changes almost as fast and often as a woman ' s mind. This, however, has as many ad¬ vantages as disadvantages for the inhabitants, and is a bragging point for them because each different type of weather appears in the Texas style. The snow is whiter, the sun brighter, and the rain wetter. A good illustration of West Texas ' bright sunshine, beaming down on the country ' s blessed-by-nature plants and mountains, appears above. A Texas-sized rain storm swelled up the creeks running through Alpine last fall. This snow scene was photographed from atop the Main Building. Unfortunately school wasn ' t dismissed. 43 The much-out-of-focus shot above turned out to be very artistic looking. The picture at right is a prize- winning picture of nature at its best. First Photography Class Started This year for the first time Sul Ross offered classes in photography. Students were given the advantage of learning in a large, newly-equipped darkroom and from a well-qualified instructor. The results of this addition to the curriculum were that more people were given a chance to learn something about photography, publications staffs had more pictures to choose from, and, finally, some very unusual pictures were taken,—some accidentally, some on purpose. Religious Emphasis Week Held March 4-8 In addition to offering the student the opportunity to develop his mind, Sul Ross gives him the chance to promote his spiritual growth. This year’s Religious Emphasis Week was one of the most successful in the history of the school. The hour-long assemblies, which the visiting speakers led, were well-attended; the classroom discussions were received with interest. As a result, the students of Sul Ross gained a wealth of good rules for living during this week of introspection. Rev. Earl Bissex, representing the First Christian Church, is pastor of the First Christian Church in Pecos, Texas. Assistant President of Abilene Christian College is Dr. John C. Stevens, the representative for the Church of Christ. Representative for the Catholic Church was Father Gerard F. Gay nor, pastor of St. Catherine ' s Catholic Church in Pecos, Texas. Rev. Bruce Mclver, representative of the Baptist Church, is the Associate in the Student Department of the Baptist General Convention of Texas. Rev. Donald Harris, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Baytown, Texas, represented the Presbyterian Church. Representing the Methodist Church was Rev. R. L. Willingham, District Superintendent of the Albuquerque District of the New Mexico Conference of the Methodist Church. Religious Emphasis Week culminated with the annual barbecue at Paisano. Evelyn Moran and Thelma Houston seem to be looking forward to beginning on their well-filled plates. Religion can be dished out in more ways than one. 47 A spirit of cooperation must be prevalent between man and wife, even when it comes to the hubby ' s hobby. Married Students Live Double Lives Married students find out fast that two people cannot live as cheaply as one, especially when either or both the husband and wife are going to school. Cooperation and patience are more in demand than they would be in many other circumstances. School- work and housework are each in themselves full time jobs and an ingenious juggling of time between the two is necessary for success in either. Married students’ lives are not all suffering and drudgery, however. It has its happy moments too, as furnished by parties, babies, and graduation. Unless the domestic chores are divided, the wile student often becomes overburdened. In some cases where just the husband is enrolled in school, a typist wife comes in very handy. Wah, I wanna go wii you, dada! Varied hinderances frequently prevent studying. 49 Miles Pierce Day Draws Large Attendance Each year Miles Pierce, a prominant local rancher, sponsors a sheep judging contest on his ranch. The contest is held mainly for the Clip and Brand Club but anyone who pays the entree fee is invited. The contest has as its purposes the pro¬ motion and development of sheep growing and judging and the acknowledgement of students who excel in this field. The whole affair, including a large barbecue at the end of the day, is financed by Mr. Miles Pierce, who has in this way, and through personal relations, made himself a standing friend of the Clip and Brand Club. Students guess at the weight of the animal, weight of the fleece, spinning count, and percent of shrinkage of a buck and a ewe. Joe Brown is awarded a trophy for being the high individual student 51 James Apian helps a high school mechanical arts class. Practice Teaching Trains Future Teachers As a teachers college, Sul Ross includes in-school teaching practice as a regular part of the curriculum designed for future teachers. The practice teachers are placed in the local high and elementary schools to observe, practice, and learn. This experience does much to diminish the lack of confidence which is so often found in teachers just out of college. Practice teachers are transported to and from the schools where they practice in one of the college station wagons. 52 Practice teaching can be fun as well as nerve-racking. The practice teacher learns while he teaches. 53 ! I A Midsummer Night’s Dream The outdoor theater at Kokernot Lodge again proved to be an effective setting for the Sul Ross Speech Department ' s presentation of A Midsummer Night ' s Dream. The play, one of the most well-known com¬ edies by William Shakespeare, was presented for the entertainment of a large audience made up of both campus visitors and students of Sul Ross. Under the direction of Dr. Katherine Boyd, Professor of Speech, the play featured Mrs. Alice Reed Olson as Hypolyta, Sue Martin as Hermia, Kent Chapman, Martha White as Helena, and Dudley Dobie as Demetrius. 55 Two strawberry ice cream sodas, yes sir. One of the hardest scenes to imagine was the above. Dr. Gibbs is sitting in a downstairs room reading while his son, George, leans out of his upstairs window talking to his moon¬ lit sweetheart, Emily Webb, across the street. At the same time the three women are re¬ turning from church choir practice and gossipping about Mr. Stimson, the drunken choir director leaning against a post further down the street. Our Members of the choir were Don Chaney, Judy Joyce Hargrove (Emily Webb) Frank White (Mr. Stimson) Richard Giller (Sam Craig) Jane Perry (Mrs. Soames) Neal Smith (Joe Stoddard) Jan Allston (Mrs. Gibbs) Town Crider, Charlotte Holmes, Lavern Meister. George Brown (George Gibbs) Ronald Gast (Dr. Gibbs) Emily Webb makes her way from her funeral (right) to join the other dead (left). George and Emily kiss at their wedding while the preacher says, ' Tve married two-hundred cou¬ ples in my days. Do I believe in it? I don ' t know, I suppose I do. Lucy McElrov John Hogue Gail Thompson Melvin Middleton (Mrs. Wills) (Stage Manager) (Mrs. Webb) (Farmer McCarthy) Oklahoma As a treat for those who enjoy music and drama, the combined Music and Speech Departments presented Rodgers and Hammer- stein’s “Oklahoma” March 14-15. This pleasurable love story of two young people, Curly and Laurie, has its setting in Oklahoma Terri¬ tory at the turn of the century. Such singable tunes as “Oh, What A Beautiful Morning,” “People Will Say We’re in Love,” and “Oklahoma” make the production one to be enjoyed and remem¬ bered. Starring in the production were Betty Vogt and Lavern Meister in the roles of Laurie and Curly. The principle roles were played by Jane Perry as Aunt Eller, Don Chaney as Will Parker, Joanna Newell as Ado Annie, Edgardo Bueno as Ali Hakim, Jim Cornick as Jud Fry, and Carroll Schoene- wolf as Farmer Carnes. Sam Go¬ forth and Nancy Tucker directed the choreography, and W. H. Perryman’s square dancers added color to the show. Glenn Davis, musical director, Jim Cornick, stage manager and acting director, and William Thomson who conducted the pit orchestra combined their talents with the result that “Oklahoma” was one of the most successful musicals ever presented at Sul Ross. ATHLETICS Football Sweetheart Jlota -fitmittontj 62 Coach Lee Galloway Head Coach A1 Milch Coach Duane Parsons Football Drought conditions plagued the West Texas area during the past season, taking its worst toll on the gridiron of Jackson Field, home of the Sul Ross Lobos. Optimism prevailed as the season prepared to open with Coach A1 Milch contemplating a well-rounded and seasoned club. Co-captains Jerry Sessoms and C. C. Brawley led the Lobos through pre-season drills with all signs pointing toward a good year in the football wars of Texas. However, the optimism was short lived. The 1956 football campaign was ushered in with the University of Corpus Christi playing the role of host. U. C. C. proved to be a generous host by failing to slow the onslaught of the Lobos as the wolf pack ran roughshod over the efforts of the hapless Tarpons, 26-7. Journeying to Canyon for a game with the strong West Texas State Buffalos proved most injurious to the Sul Ross eleven, as the Buffalos jumbled the local squad to the tune of 48-0. Next in line was the waging of Lone Star Conference play. To begin in Alpine, Sam Houston, in going undefeated and untied during the 1956 sea¬ son, used the Lobos as a testing game, much to the regret of Lobo sports enthusiasts. For the second straight week the Lobos were shut out of the scoring column. Sam Houston scored freely and when the final horn had sounded, the scoreboard read 33-0, Sam Houston. Southwest Texas State and Texas A. I. took advantage of the injury riddled Lobos, both of the conference teams shutting the door on the chances of Sul Ross for 1956. Texas Lutheran won its first game in history over a member of the Lone Star Confer¬ ence by downing the Sul Ross pigskin team 46-10 in a brilliant aerial display. Sul Ross was helpless against the superb passing attack of the Bulldogs. (Continued on next page) 63 siilii 4 I Jimmy Smith—Garland No. 70—Tackle Carl Brawley—Post No. 72—Tackle Manuel Benavides—Ft Stockton Manager The following week, the football scene shifted to Stephen F. Austin and the resuming of Lone Star Conference play. Sul Ross, leading 7-6 with 7 seconds remaining, received another setback with a 30-yard field goal that handed the Lumberjacks a 9-7 win in a game played in Nacogdoches. Following the momentous field goal loss to Stephen F. Austin, the Lobos returned to Jackson Field to battle the newest Lone Star Conference member, Howard Payne. How¬ ard Payne didn ’t waste much time, and when the smoke had cleared, the Lobos were suf¬ fering with a 19-0 loss to the Yellowjackets. Lamar Tech and East Texas State put the finishing touches to the Sul Ross efforts for 1956, both of the conference teams scoring decisive margins over the Sul Ross team. 64 Humiliated and outmanned for the most part, Sul Ross entered one win and nine losses in the record book for the 1956 season. Such a record, of course, indicates that there was something lacking in the club, but whatever it was, it was not courage or determina¬ tion. Coach A1 Milch and the Sul Ross Lobos lost only 3 men from the ’56 club—Jerry Ses- soms, Jackie Woods, and Paul Abies. In the ’57 season the Lobos are expected to be much stronger because of the large number of men who will return. W. C.

They won several early season non-conference games and began con¬ ference play with a 10-6 won-lost record. Some of the early wins were over such teams as Trinity of San Antonio, and Corpus Christi University. In conference play the Red and Gray split with Sam Houston, Lamar Tech, Texas A I, and Howard Payne, and lost two each to Southwest Texas, East Texas, and Stephen F. Austin, finishing with a 4-10 conference mark and a 14-16 season record. All in all, the Lobos had a fair season, for they played good ball before the home fans. Also many of their losses came in overtime games, or in games undecided until the last minute. The leading scorer for the season was Paul Ingle, the jump shot artist, who holds the con- Coach Lee Galloway ference one-game scoring record. A1 Schom- bers played great ball until he was unable to continue at mid-semester, due to scholastic diffi¬ culties, and little Don Compton was a consistantly good ball-handler and playmaker. Other good performers were Harold “Wooz” Wilder, Bud Richards, and Bill Powell. Of the team’s players, only Ingle graduates before the next season so optimism is again in order for the ’57-’58 season.

BASEBALL Because of early copy deadlines, it is impossible to include any game scores of this year’s games, but in the past, Sul Ross has been very fortunate in their yearly won-loss record. In the four previous seasons, the Lobos have never turned out a losing club. On the other hand, they hold wins against such teams as the University of Texas, Baylor University, Texas A M, University of Houston, University of Colorado, University of Arizona, and many other base¬ ball name colleges or universities. Swain has the potential of another winning team, but is evaluating his needs from the pitching mound. In the persons of Buddy Watts and Dalvin Jordan, he has two starters, but with a schedule calling for six games in seven days, he is going to need an army of relief pitchers. There is a good possibility that the 1957 baseball Lobos are going to miss the services of key players such as Roy Lewis at second base, James Hopkins in right field, and Clifford “Red” Jones on the mound. Of the trio, two have since signed professional contracts, while Lewis is in the coaching profession at Marathon.

The three newly-added alleys and re¬ modeled old alleys made the tournament an enjoyable and successful one. The winners of the mens ' division were Richard Bain, Dudley Rogers, Jimmy McLaren, and R. C. McLaren, I1URALS Donning tennis shoes and shorts, many of the students took time off from their studies and entered into some hot competi¬ tion on the hardwood court. Winner team of the basketball intramurals was the BSU team, composed of Clifton Ennen, Bobby Dixon, Bob Hearn, Larry Dyer, Tom Mallard, and Lawrence Dunn. In second place were the Ojinaga Wreckers, members of which were Jimmy Smith, John Bailey, Sam Potts, Leldon Hens¬ ley, Paul Abies, Jesse Geron, Jesse Hatfield, John Short, and Joe Black. Tense faces show the excite¬ ment of a close game. 93 Intramurals The first annual intramural rodeo was sponsored by the SR Rodeo Club on December 8. There were five boys’ events and two girls’ events which included bareback riding, saddle-bronc riding, calf roping, bull riding, and goat tying. Russ Johnson comes out of a chute during the saddle-bronc riding event. Coming out on a bull with a gleam in his eye is Yank Pierson. Two of the calf-roping entrees hustle to get the calf down. 94 Volleyball Intramurals An additional segment of the Sul Ross intramural program began in the initial week of the spring semes¬ ter with the opening of the volley¬ ball season. The play took in stu¬ dents and faculty alike, with teams composed of twelve members. A difficult volley is executed by Madeline Stephens. Rivalry between the Red and Gray teams of W. R.

Johnny Carrillo, President 123 THE SKYLINE Margaret Blackburn Editor The college newspaper is probably the pub¬ lication that involves the most work, which is strongly indicated by the amount of electri¬ city and typewriters burned up in the Skyline office. And despite the criticisms that roll in from every direction (what democratic news¬ paper is without criticism?), interest within the college and first places won in the highly competitive Texas Intercollegiate Press As¬ sociation contests prove this work not in vain. Norman Roden Business Manager 124 Dr. Max Haddick Advisor Oscar Traviand Photographer 125 Carroll Schoenewolf Editor-In-Chief BRAND Oscar Travland Photographer Pictured on these two pages are the people who turned the wheels that eventually produced the college year¬ book, and to them the greatest credit rightly belongs. It takes more than a staff, however, to do the job; it takes the cooperation of many people, fac¬ ulty, students, downtown merchants, and most important of all, the print¬ ers. Doyle Stout 126 Sports Editor Last year the Brand won first place in its division in the annual contest sponsored by the Texas Intercollegi¬ ate Press Association, setting a stand¬ ard that they have tried to maintain this year. The book has not been en¬ larged much pagewise, but the main concentration was on content. Max Haddick Advisor Mary Jo Meyer Business Manager Bill Brady Assistant Editor Bill Ballard Photographer 127 Terry Oliver, Editor THE SAGE The Sage is a collection of the best literary work evolving from Sul Ross students. The fact that the magazine has won so many first places in the annual Texas Intercollegiate Press As¬ sociation competition is enough evidence that literary endeavor is of n ote.

At last the time for performance comes, and the choir tests the results of their preparations through the ears of their always critical audience. Some sit solemnly, some laugh at mistakes, and some try to pick their own voice out of the many as they listen to the finished recording.

Who ' s Who in American Universities and Colleges is an organization offering recognition of an exceptional group of students on a national basis. To be recognized by Who ' s Who, a student must be officially recommended by the university or college he attends, and then accepted by the organization. College juniors, seniors, and graduate students are eligible for nomination. Selection of nominees is by student-faculty- administrative committees. These nomination commit¬ tees consider the students scholarship, leadership and co¬ operation in educational and extracurricular activities, his general citizenship, and his promise of future useful¬ ness. Of great importance is the fact that nominations are on an objective point system. Each student who becomes a member receives a certi¬ ficate of recognition awarded by the organization and presented at the school and recognition in the annual publication, Who ' s Who In American Universities and Colleges , in the form of a writeup of his college and per¬ sonal record. Selection to Who ' s Who is a means of compensation for outstanding effort and achievement. These students are a standard of measurement for others, and inspire greater effort in those who may not otherwise perform to the best of their ability. From Lamesa, Texas, comes Mrs. Thelma Houston who is an elementary education major with a 3.00 average. 152 Mrs. Kathryn Walker, senior elementary education major, is from Alpine, Texas, and has a 3.57 average.

It is now up to the printers. As I think back over those long and short months, those days and nights we have spent trying to materialize our ideas of what this yearbook should be like, I find myself with mixed emotions of op¬ timism, skepticism, antici¬ pation, apology . . . mainly appreciation. I feel deeply grateful to those people who gave so much of themselves to make this book a reality. Publishing an annual isany- thing but a one-man job; more people than just the editor end up drinking too much coffee, smoking too many cigarettes, and getting too little sleep. To every¬ one who worked and suffered so that the 1957 BRAND might have birth I extend my sincerest thanks. I am especially grateful to Nell Nixon, Mary Jo Meyer, Bill Ballard, and Dr. Max Haddick who came through when it counted most. Red Jurecka did much more than his duty as our advisor from Steck Company, and so did the teachers who understood and sympathized when some of my staff and I slept through or completely missed their classes. Appreciation, more so in the case of a yearbook than other journalistic works, is a key to its success. Without it a yearbook is as incomplete as a typewriter without keys. Not appreciation on the part of the editor, but on the part of the reader . . . you! Here is hoping that this two-hundred and twenty page typewriter has all forty- eight keys, plus some. • • • The Editor FACULTY INDEX Adams, Joy 204 Bellamah, J. L. 107, 131, 204 Bierschwale, A.
