TOM SMITH Tom always has an appropri- ate remark to make, no matter what the situation. His cheery outlook makes him an asset to any group. A Who's Who member for the second year, he has made a name for him- self on the campus ... a good name, well deserved. BILL WISEMAN Bill somehow manages to be everywhere at once . . . and he's not only there, he’s busy ... a born salesman and an untiring worker. WILLIAM PUTNAM “Putter” has long been known for his unbelievable drive on the football field, and he has proven that his drive carries over into everything, including his office of president of the Student Council. LUCILE HODGES A First Lady of the A I Theatre, Lu has many other talents—from art, to music, to campus politics —right on down to being a real fine friend to everyone. MARGARET McCLANE Margaret has been a willing worker since the first day she ar- rived at AM. It will be a real loss to the college when she graduates this year, but she will have the satisfaction of leaving behind her a stack of jobs well done. Who’s Who WILLIAM TREYBIG Bill has done a lot of work around the campus without re- ceiving any credit for it. He is the kind of person everyone likes to see emerge a winner, and there’s little doubt that he is just that. GARNET BURGESS Always reliable and trustworthy, the praise isn't important to Gar- net as long as the results are worthwhile. Unobtrusively, Gar- net slipped into a position of real importance on our campus—that of Cadet Colonel of the ROTC. The position is well filled. MARY COOK Her smile, as sincere and friendly as A I it- self, makes Mary a true Queen of our campus. She reigned over the Lantana Court of 1955, was voted Alpha Phi Omega sweetheart, and was president of her sorority. bobbie McDowell A little bit of a girl with a whole lot of every- thing, Bobbie is a four-year Lantana Lady, sweetheart of the Aggie Club, and a campus favorite. Who’s Who CAROLE ALSUP Those quiet, big, brown eyes give the im- pression of honesty and constant dependabili- ty . . . the impression is right. E. T. ARVIN Red” Arvin has become something of a land- mark around our campus. Everybody knows Red” and has felt the warmth of that wide grin. FREDADLAM “Junior displayed a willingness to work and accept responsibility that soon gave him all the work he could handle and then some. Who’s MORRIS KREIDEL The presidency of the Senior Class is a hard position to fill and it’s seldom a fellow like Morris can be found to fill it. He's interested in everything concerning A I. GERALD WAGNER He doesn't say much, but what he does say is worth listening to. Small jobs, well done, have paved the way for Gerald to tackle bigger jobs with the same commendable results. Who ROBERT REGAN His college career was interrupted by Uncle Sam, but the interruption failed to quench the spark of energy that makes Bob one of the great est cheerleaders A I has had. MILTON RUSSELL When something happens. Milt knows about it first with all the details. He can see both sides of any situation. His understanding makes him a wonderful person to know and has served him well in his position as editor of The South Texan. SYLVIA GARCIA She doesn’t toot her own horn, but there are always plenty of people to do the honors for her. This is because Sylvia Is a hard worker and a fine person. DON KARR Don is always ready with a listening ear and an encouraging word. Straight and to the point, he gets things done with a minimum of talk and a maximum of work. Who’s Who GEORGE BABCOCK It’s good to see a deserving guv receive recognition for long and devoted service. George has helped make the Student Union Governing Board an organization of which A I can be very proud. CHARLES ROYAL No matter what the job, Charlie was usually about somewhere, working or offering helpful suggestions. Who’s Who LOUISE MOHN A really conscientious student, Louise Mohn could serve as a lesson to every - one as to the rewards of hard work. NORMAN CLINGER BETTY LOTT Betty has been an integral part of life at A I since her freshman days. She has managed to do more in three years than some co-eds accomplish in five. Here s one wheel who doesn’t think he’s the whole machine. Clinger always manages to have plenty' of work to do . . . and it's always done well. From left: W.

Staff members put in hours that would horrify a good union , . . their job is one of blood, sweat, and not a few mental tears. Always under the pressure of looking for that news that's fit to print, finding the best way to print it, and meeting the doom of deadlines, they keep in mind the question that is top- most . , . will it please? It does.

Candidates for Lady were Lillyan Ewert, Betty Lott, Pete Black, Pat Hall, Carol Lee Burgess, and Bobbie Lou McDowell. Kay Ann Lloyd, Dorothy Lindley, and Mary Cook were Lantana Queen can- didates. The dance was held in the Student Union Ballroom with music furnish- ed by the “White Hats.” Decorations carried out the Lantana flower theme.

Beta Gamma launched the round of parties with a mythical cruise on the USS Beta Gamma. Fish nets, life-savers, and buoys decked the halls. Delta Theta took it from there with ruffles, bows, and little girl clothes. Members and rushees reverted to childhood for a kid party, complete with balloons, water pistols, lollipops, and baby bottles. It was a Western shindig for the Alpha Sigmas with hay on the floor and Bull Durham on the tables. Barbecued chicken with all the trimmings made up the chuck-wagon supper. Dancing in bare feet was per- mitted at the Alpha Phi Omega presentation dance. Introduction of Mary Cook as sweetheart of the organization was the high point of the dance. Spring semester Kappa Sigma Nu pledges are forbidden to smile or speak unless spoken to at Mon- day night fraternity meetings. Sweetheart Kaye Anne Lloyd holds the paddle.

The Javelina Band, under the direction of Edwin Moyers, is always on hand at athletic contests and numerous other college events. The band drew high praise for its performances both on the campus and in its appearances on tour. Carolyn Casbin Drum Major 1 I Shirley Luce Dorothy Lind ley Carleen Adlam 204 GILBERT E, STEINKE Returning to his Alina Mater, Mr. Steinke served his first year as head football coach and director of athletics. One of the Javelinas’ all-time grid- iron stars, Mr. Steinke graduated in 1942, played professional football, served in the Navy, and last coached at A M before returning to AM. Steinke did an excellent job of moulding the Javelinas, a young, relatively inexperienced bunch of boys, into a hard-fighting crew that gave every team they played a rugged battle all the way. Student Assistant Coaches Davey Smith and Jim Martin. W. T. (TED) CARLEY Head basketball coach and assistant football coach, Mr, Carlev, a graduate of North Texas State, was another newcomer to A I this year. Mr. Carlev served a hitch in the Navy anti coached several high school teams before be- coming Schreiner Institute's director of athletics. He left his post at Schreiner last fall to join the A I staff. DEWEY A. MAYHEW Mr. Mayhew relinquished chief responsibility for the Javelinas last year but helped coach the 1954-55 A I team. Mr. Mayhew graduated from Southwestern University, played professional baseball in the West Texas League, and became widely known for his success with Abilene High School teams before turning to college coaching. In their five years in the Texas Conference May- hew’s gridiron teams finished in second place twice and twice emerged in three-way ties for the crown. The A I Javelinas, under the direction of Coaches Stcinket Car ley, and Mayhew, went into their first season in the tough Lone Star Conference and wound up the campaign in fourth place in season standings and fifth place in conference play. Showing an unconquerable fighting spirit in every contest, the Hoggies defied the experts by coming in ahead of where, in view of their youth, they were expected THE 1954 SEASON IN A NUTSHELL SCORE Javelinas Opponents September 18 Texas Lutheran at Seguin 20 0 September 25 Northeastern Louisiana at Monroe 13 12 Octoljer 2 Univ. of Corpus Christi, Here 32 6 October 9 0 Southwest Texas State, Here 16 21 October 16 °Sam Houston State at Huntsville 0 14 October 23 Sul Ross at Alpine 9 0 October 30 0 Stephen F.

The result was a 20-0 triumph over Texas Luther- an's Bulldogs. Halfback Kenneth Wilhite scored twice on dashes of 15 and 22 yards and William Putnam, halfback, plunged five yards for another Hoggie score. It was a comparatively easy game for the Javs—easy, at least, as compared with what they would meet in the future—and Mr. Steinke used reserves freely. WELDON SEELIGER, Back JIM MURRAY, Tackle 210 JAVELINAS 13 INDIANS 12 Halfback Ray Houts broke loose for a 48-yard scoring scamper with Northeastern Louisiana leading 12- 7 in Monroe, Louisiana, to pull the Hoggies from the brink of defeat and net them their second win of the season September 25. The Jave- linas piled up an imposing 313 yards rushing and made 16 first downs, but penalties, fumbles, and a pass interception kept them on their heels most of the game. Houts wound up with 80 yards rushing on five carries and Steve Curry, full- back, gained 77 yards on 10 thrusts to lead the Hoggies offensively. Herman Singleton, guard, and Dick Gravett, end, stood out defensively, Singleton recovering four Indian fumbles and Gravett blocking both of Northeastern's extra-point tries. Houts begins long jaunt. JAVELINAS 32 TARPONS 6 The Javelinas opened the 1954 home season October 2 in a re- newal of their series with the Uni- versity of Corpus Christi. The Tar- pons brought to Kingsville a team picked by some experts to upset the Hoggies. Someone forgot to tell the Javelinas about this, and they romped and stomped a helpless Tarpon team into the ground, 32-6. Quarterback S. T. Bridges gained 103 yards on 11 carries, William Putnam, halfback, gathered 36 yards on three carries and Ray Houts again looked good, amassing 67 yards on six blasts. Houts, Bridges, Warren Anderson, Put- nam, and Carl Hopkins all scored touchdowns for the Javelinas. 211 Hold that Tarpon! JAVELINAS 16 Putter crashes the Bobcat line. JAVELINAS 0 SAM HOUSTON 14 Unable to capitalize on several scoring chances, the Javelinas dropped a 14-0 decision to Sam Houston October 16. It was the second consecutive loss in the Lone Star Loop for the Hoggies, who forgot to put glue on their fingers before going onto the field. Several fumbles were costly, and a timely pass interception by the Bearcats kept the Javelinas from crossing their opponent’s goal. Despite the loss, the Javelinas were improved as they held a powerful Bearcat rushing game down to 198 yards and played good, heads-up ball. FRANK RUTLEDGE, Guard BOBCATS 21 When Southwest Texas State came to town October 9, the Javelinas got their first taste of Lone Star Conference football. The Javs picked a tough piece of meat to bite into as a sample, but never- theless played the Bobcats right down to the wire in one of the thrillers of the year. S. T. Bridges calmly hooted a 15-yard field goal with six minutes left in the game to give the Hoggies a 16 14 lead and practically assure A I hope- fuls of an initial victory in the Lone Star Loop. However, three minutes later, Johnny Faseler, SWTS end, blocked a Javelin a punt and recovered the ball in the end zone for the winning touchdown. William Putnam and Kenneth Wil- hite led the Javs offensively, Put- nam gaining 56 yards on 10 carries, and Wilhite smashing for 108 yards on only four thrusts. EUGENE DONAHO, End SID HOERMANN, Guard The Hoggies met their third Lone Star Conference foe in Alpine October 23. It was a memorable game for the Javelinas, since the victory over the Sul Ross Lobos was their first win in the Lone Star competition. Quarter- back S. T, Bridges guided the Javelinas beautifully to their victory as he scored the only touchdown of the game and booted a game-clinching 24- yard field goal early in the fourth quarter. Steve Curry, fullback, and Sul Ross' Norman Cash, the Lone Star Loop's total offense leader prior to the game, tangled in an offensive match, Curry winning by 40 yards over his opponent. Corky Crane, a 135-pound halfback who had seen little action, blossomed out in the game and gained himself a starting berth in the Jav backfield. Beautiful line play by the Hogs was instrumental in their victory. GEORGE ROBBINS, End JAVELINAS 7 LUMBERJACKS 14 In A Ts first Dad's Day football game, the Javelinas fought bitterly in the last quarter but were un- able to overcome a 14-0 lead held by Stephen F. Austin and were defeated 14-7. Corky Crane skirted end for the Hoggies only score and S, T. Bridges booted the extra point. The loss was the third in Lone Star Conference play for the Javelinas and knocked them out of competition for a place in the up- per bracket. Oops! Missed! 213 The scoreboard tells the story in the Javelinas’ Homecoming game. JAVELIN AS 6 LIONS 26 A Homecoming crowd of 5500 saw the Javelinas lose to East Texas State November 6. During the first half, the Hoggies played an in- spired brand of football, spoiling everything that the Lions tried and covering East Texas pass receivers like a huge net. The Lions scored with but 1 minute and 27 seconds remaining in the second period and led at the half 6-0, Evidently ap- propriate words by the East Texas coach roused the Lions, and when the third quarter started they wasted no time in running over three more touchdowns to pile up a 26-0 lead. But as the gun sounded, the Hoggies were still fighting, and on the verge of add- ing another score to the one they had tallied early in the fourth stanza. The Hoggies were playing without the services of Fullback Steve Curry. Stretch, Corky, stretch! JAVELINAS 18 CARDINALS 14 Quarterback John Ormand, who had been out most of the season with injuries, started the game in Beaumont against Lamar Tech and performed brilliantly in leading the Javelinas to their second Lone Star victory. Ormand scored a touch- down, passed for 115 yards and an- other TD, and called a near-perfect game. It was one contest that the Hoggies can be said to have dom- inated practically all the way. The Cardinals’ only real threats were two long runs by their 210-pound halfback, Raymond Meyers, who took a pass and rambled 74 yards for a touchdown and later returned a punt 90 yards for another score. CAL HUTZLER, Quarterback JIM PURCELL, Center DICK GRAVETT, Guard JAVELINAS 20 AZTECAS 13 November 20 the Javelinas traveled to McAllen to contest the Aztecas of Mexico City College in a game that the Hogs considered a home engagement. The Mexico City con- tract called for a return engage- ment in Mexico City for the Hog- gies the following year. The Az- tecas brought a well-rounded squad with them, made up mostly of players who had performed in United States colleges before go- ing to MCC. A little scat-back by the name of Alex Esquival kept the Javelinas alert, but several Hoggies performed well also. John Ormand turned in a good game in the man- under position and Steve Curry, playing for the first time in several games, scored one of the Hoggie touchdowns. Norman “Red” Smith, playing Iris first game of the sea- son, made several beautiful pass catches. JAVELINAS 6 TRINITY 41 Trinity University, unbeaten in 15 straight games before its game with the Hogs, added their sixteenth vic- tory to the tune of 41-6 in the final game of the season for the Hogs November 26 in San. Antonio. A terrific display of hard bruising ground gains proved too much for the outmanned Javs, who were playing without the services of three of their outstanding perform- ers. Hall Whitley, Sid Douthit, and Steve Curry were all out with in- juries and did not see action in the game. It was a hard pill for the Hogs to swallow—that terrific beating in the final game of the season—but we know that they played the best and hardest that they could in every game all sea- son and we can be proud to say that we had a fightin’ team and one that will cause plenty of trouble in seasons to come.
