Hopkins, Jr. Business Aianager To present, in permanent form the activities of 1935-36. has been our purpose in editing this book. If, in later years Le Mirage brings memories of the joys and happiness you have shared at West Texas State Teachers College, we have achieved our purpose. This yearbook is dedicated to the people who have budded and achieved in Texas during the last hundred years. During this period of time, Texas has been changed from a wilderness and a land of Indians into a great commonwealth. Its material resources are almost unlimited, and much progress has been made during tbe past century. It is the hope of Le Mirage Staff that this book will reflect in a small way, at least, the educational and cultural development in Northwest Texas.

STATE BOARD OF TEACHERS COLLEGE REGENTS The governing board of the state teachers colleges of Texas is composed of nine members. They are appointed by the Governor of the State for a period of six years. The following people now constitute the board: Henry Paulus, President Yoakum; Thomas H. Ball, Vice-President, Houston; J. E. Hill, Amarillo; J. E. Josey, Houston; J. G. Ulmer, Tyler; Mrs. J. K. Beretta, San Antonio; Robert A. Stuart, Fort Worth; J. D. Jackson, Alpine; and V. A. Collins, Livingston. H. A. Punier of Austin is Sec¬ retary of the Board. It is the duty of this board to determine the general policies of the system of state teachers colleges, and through the administrative head of each institution to develop the activities of the college under his control. The Texas state teachers colleges have been fortunate in having its board composed of a fine group of progressive citizens coming from various sections of the State. PACE 2: 03 4T IQU O-r 101 -Q- ip M A ao tT§ «IXLJ3Xca_B Dear Friends: The quality of one’s life is pretty much revealed by the strength of his aspiration to learn. To be ignorant is no disgrace if one has an unquenchable desire for knowledge; to be ignorant without such desire is to be a part of the burdensome mass of human driftwood. The value of one’s life is pretty much determined by the use he makes of the learning he ac¬ quires. A learned crook is a greater social liability than is an ignorant one, but a learned gentleman is the republic’s greatest security. It is hoped that your college experience has both strengthened your desire to know and given social purpose to your increased knowledge. In such results are to be found the main purpose of all true education and the most abiding happiness of mankind. Cordially yours, President of College. U i PAGE 26 To Our Students: This is an important era in the history of the world. The many changes now being made in governmental activity, in economic ideals, in industrial organization, and in social and spiritual concepts are basic factors in rebuilding national, state, and individual security. So far as I can tell, only one class of our people fail fully to feel the immediate or permanent ef¬ fects of the depression. That class is represented by the earnest seeker of truth—the efficient stu¬ dent. Power to think effectively, the ability to live worthily, and a genius to create permanent values are not bound by time, place, and material alone. These qualities are the fruitage of people who would seek to know. In the hands of such individuals, the disturbing changes now produc¬ ing a distressed world will become a blessing to God’s children everywhere. I congratulate you upon the opportunity you have at this time! Sincerely, PAGE 27 03 lOU o-rioi -Q-TPt- H A SOtT® «IXLJJ-V0;b; DEAN OF WOMEN The threefold aspect of the work of a dean of women is administrative, academic, and social, all of which terminate in the welfare of women students. In substituting for Dean Geraldine Green, I have been impressed by the fact that her duties are limited only bv her strength and by the hours in the day, and that the desired result of the work of every dean of women should be a unique womanhood, broad enough to utilize all her de¬ veloped possibilities for service, deep enough to insure stability in all the stress of life, and flexible enough to adapt her to any right demand of changing social conditions.’ The effectiveness of the dean’s work for 1935-36 has been due to the support, co-operation, and good-will of the faculty and student body. For this happy ending of the year we are most mateful to you. Sincerely, PACE 28 DEAN OF MEN The office of Dean of Men was established as a service agency for the men of the institution. Administrative, housing, and advisory duties make up the work of this office. The session of 1935-36 has been characterized by the splendid spirit of the student body. It is a fine thing to see young men and women seriously accept responsibility and measure up to the expectation of the institution. The Dean of Men stands ready to aid in the solution of institu¬ tional problems, and desires the fellowship and companionship of the men of the institution. Sincerely, PAGE 29 D. A. Shirley, B.

The President of the college maintains them as a cabinet of representatives to aid him in formulating policies for the better welfare of the students. The Student Council is composed of ten members. Each class selects two repre¬ sentatives and two are chosen from the student body at large. The council meets regularly on the first and third Mondays of every month and holds such called meet¬ ings as are necessary from time to time to dzal with emergency situations.

Our pleasure in achievement is mingled with the sorrow of breaking the bonds of fellowship and friendship, of leaving the place of preparation for the field of service. We realize that alone we could have but failed, had not our parents and supporters, the citizens of Texas, the Federal government, and the faculty given us their support. To them we are grateful; we can best show our appreciation by our loyalty to the teaching profession and to the high and noble ideals of W. T. We are proud to be our Alma Mater’s graduating class of ' 36 and to finish our col¬ lege careers in the Centennial year of our magnificent state. May the future graduat¬ ing classes of our beloved institution strive , as we have done, to uphold the high moral and educational standards for which our Alma Mater was founded. As we accept the torch of responsibility to pass on to others that which we have learned, may the trust placed in us be fully justified.

T. in September 1933- He has obtained an enviable record in the coaching world as head mentor of athletics at Vernon High School and Amarillo Junior College. Upon his shoulders rests the responsibility of this department. How well he has fulfilled his position can be ascertained by the steady advancement of the college teams in every sport. At present, Coach Baggett is the pilot of one of the most complete athletic plants in the Southwest. Indeed he is a competent organizer and a sincere worker in this capacity. The future of W. T. sports is certainly bright. Another great reason for the success of this department is the ability of Bob Cox, assistant coach and freshman basketball mentor. Cox is one of Baggett’s most polished pro¬ ducts at Amarillo Junior College. He received his degree at Duke University in 1934 where he was selected as an All-Southern halfback. There is no doubt that his ability as a coach is equal to his ability as a performer. To him is due our wonderful supply of backfield aces. Cagle Teague graduated from W. T. in 1933 where he was the sparkplug of the 34 football team. For the past year he has played the role of freshman football coach. Teague was instrumental in moulding a freshman team that gave great promise of de¬ veloping into a superior combination in the morrow. PAGE 1 24 X- J.IXT51 V to Captain Rankin exhibited his aggressiveness as a guard and capable leader. John came to West 1 exas with little high school experience, and al¬ most overnight developed into one of the most brilliant Buffalo gndmen to play this place. His cool, mechanical style intermingled with his foot¬ ball brains makes his place a difficult one to re- - ice fa C a v feet Leo Jackson was selected ' to guidc the dest ies of the 1936 edition because of his gentle temperament, humorous nature, and cool- headedness. Jackson is one that enjoys it when the going gets rough. The next team is expected to parade in grand fashion with “Wildcat” at the helm. Toby Waggoner came to Canyon from Amarillo Junior College. Waggoner was a tower of de¬ fense last year, and with two more years to go, he is sure to become one of W. T.’s immortal wing-men. H is ability to crack the interference is almost beyond reproach. In numerous all-time Buffalo team selections, Clinton Meek has been repeatedly selected as tackle. Meek’s play is characterized by his acu¬ men to sift through the opposing line and down the runner before he gets a fair start. O Rankin Jackson Waggoner Meek PAGE 126 Kotton McGehee has gradually developed into one of the hardest blocking; backs on the ag- o z? gregation. He is expected to return next year. With no high school experience, George Cavmess exhibited a natural admiration for the game, and saw much service until he was handi¬ capped by a severe shoulder injury. Craig Walling is a broad shouldered strappling gndder that proved to be a constant menace to the opposition by his stellar defensive work. His long-distance kicking places him in a position to carry a majority of the punting duties in the future. Si Marchbanks was constant¬ ly pushing Captain-elect Leo Jackson for a starting position, and indicated by his conserva¬ tive ruggedness that he will be a formidable opponent for the next two years. Floyd Murry was the jack- rabbit of the ranks. Before lus leg injury, lus triple threat abili¬ ty made him an invaluable as¬ set to the backfield. Conway Butler exhibited smooth running and clever blocking which marked him as a potent factor for the next two- years’ competition. PAGE 127 3 44: lOUO-rlOI-O-TPI-HTv«IXtiTV Q Lewis Gibson displayed his mettle by flashing a peculiar style of dodging and side- stepping that made him a hard runner to stop. Stina Cain, another Ama¬ rillo Junior College product, started at the right wing p a where he distinguished him¬ self by his blocking and su¬ perb pass-snatching. ' Sug¬ ar is one of the most sensa¬ tional offensive ends to repre¬ sent the maroon and white. He still has one year of eligi- John Lee, formerly a stellar end on the Amarillo Sandies and Junior College Badgers, earned a starting berth at tackle by a never- say-die spirit that won him much recognition. John suffered a se¬ vere leg injury at Alpine against the Sul Ross Loboes, but as he ex¬ pressed it, It doesn’t matter about the leg so long as we won the game.” A fighting courage that will win. PAGE 128 Ezell Champion demonstrated deadly block¬ ing and consistent punting all season. “Champ”, whose timely interference made many maneuv¬ ers possible, is also adroit at flipping the pigskin if the situation necessitates it. Ronald Davis, stellar performer with the team of ’32, returned to West Texas after teach¬ ing for two years. His leadership in athletics as well as m the classroom made him one of the campus favorites. Davis had an automatic plugging style that eluded many runners which characterized him as the most consistent gallop¬ ing flurry on the squad. Frank Van Noy ended his West Texas football career in a blaze of glory. He consist- the nod for the quar¬ terback post, and proved him¬ self a capable field general. In addition to his ability as a signal barker, Van Noy broke into the open field that often resulted in getting pay dirt. ei itly got fM V Hi : I I NPCd I Jr fix m PAGE 129 IOU O-tIOI -GV-TPH- M A £tTls) «IXL-ETV d Tom Slack wi 11 be remem¬ bered for his marksmanship in passing. H is educated arm resulted in many long gains. Slack is sure to be the backbone of W. T.’s aerial circus in the next two seasons. R. D. Wheelock was shift¬ ed from center to tackle to create a way for Jackson. This change caused much favor- able comment as Wheelock masterfully ascertained his great defensive ability at his new place. Wheelock has lettered two years and will not return. Jack Jennings gave much promise by his tricky ball¬ carrying and passing. Ray Cox, though failing to letter gave indications of shifty running and capable field gen¬ eralship when the situation pre¬ sented itself. Oscar H inger is another wi th p very little high school experi¬ ence. But he proved to be the most pleasant surprise of the ’35 campaign and consistently re¬ ceived the nod as Captain Ran¬ kin’s running mate at left guard. U Jack Davis has lettered two years at an end post, and still has another to go. In addition to his 190 pounds, Davis is a good pass receiver, and depend¬ able blocker. PAGE 130 Lwood Dow was the nucleus of the 35 scor¬ ing punch. Though only a sophomore, Dow displayed experience, power, speed, rhythm and alertness. He was personally responsible for a majority of the team’s counters, and was un¬ usually adept at sending the ball between the up¬ rights for the extra point. Doyle Johnston, transfer from Lamar Jun¬ ior College at Beaumont, was a strengthening ad¬ dition to the squad this season by his plucky and aggressive tackling. His withdrawal from school leaves vacant a guard berth that Coach Baggett will have much trouble in replacing. Lawrence Clark broadcasted his elusive swerving running all season, and always got the nod as a starter from the running halfback posi¬ tion. Clark was also a deadly tackier and superb pass catcher.

BUFFALO VARSITY SQUAD After inaugurating the 1935 season with an impressive triumph over the Pan¬ handle Aggies, the Buffaloes suffered a let-down and lost three games in rapid succes¬ sion to three great passing combinations from Southeastern Teachers, Texas Wesleyan College, and McMurry. They retaliated with two easy wins over the New Mexico Normal 34-0 and Texas School of Mines 14-0. The Buffs faced one of the nation’s classiest aggregations on Homecoming day in clashing with the Ravens of St. Benedict’s. The Buffs drew first blood when Dow scored, but the Ravens returned with a dazzling touchdown parade to victor 21-7. The N. M. M. I. Cadets were the next victims of the clever passing and running attack of the Baggettmen, 20-7. The Buffs reached great heights when they battled the highly-touted Bronchos of Central Teachers of Ed¬ mond, Oklahoma. They even surpassed these heights to bid the season farewell by upsetting the Sul Ross Loboes 7-6 before the Governor. A season’s resume finds five wins, four losses and one tie in the ten game schedule. PAGE 132 FRESHMAN FOOTBALL SQUAD Boasting a galaxy of high school stars, the Yearlings were victors in only one of their three games but gave evidence that they will make many varsity men hustle for their positions next fall. The charges of Coach Teague furnished a pleasant surprise when they limited their game with the Texas Tech Frosh to a 10-7 score. They were outclassed by a pol¬ ished machine from Portales Junior College. They finished their schedule by surpass¬ ing the Jackrabbits of Wayland by a score of 12-0. PAGE 133 Captain-elect Butch Clark follows in the footsteps of his brother as being one of the trick¬ iest and flashiest ball-handlers to play for the ma¬ roon and white. Clark is sure to climax his col¬ lege days m a blaze of glory next year. George Ray Colvin’s glamorous all-round ability will never be forgotten at W. T. He controlled the ball from the tip-off and spoiled many a game this year by garnering all the laurels in the scoring; column. His illness at the end of the season prevented his partiemadon in the Na¬ tional A. A. U. Tourney. Jack Davis literally burned up as a Frosh, and this year exhibit¬ ed a scoring push shot that made him a dangerous man to guard. He will return next year.

J Vy p l Curtis Clement ended his third year with the Buffs as a great hustler and deadly shoot¬ er. His timely breaking, speed with his ability to score with either hand earned him a regu- lar forward post. PAGE 136 Conway Butler didn’t hit his stride until the middle of the season, when he was selected on the starting five. His accurate overhead push shot with his excellent ball-handling stamps him a valuable ballhawk. ' — able ball-handler was missed at the end of the season by bis untimely withdrawal from school. Marvin Myers, rangy pivot man, was a po¬ tent addition to the Buff squad and in several in¬ tercollegiate games, he gave a plausible account of himself in all departments of the game. PAGE 137 03 IQU o-r 101 -Q- TPH MAfrQt ' TB «IXL PV0 BUFFALO BASKETBALL SQUAD Disregarding their two easy victories over the Portales Junior College, the Buffaloes started slowly but gather cumulative momen¬ tum to finish the season with 19 victories and nine losses—a batting average of .679. They maintained a perfect record on the remodeled Burton Gymnasium—a string of 12 victories. The season was characterized by a series of close defeats on for¬ eign fields. The season s play was terminated by flashing a dazzling attack against the Arkansas State Teachers at the National Tourna¬ ment at Denver to lose by a close margin. Captain Boedeker, George Ray Colvin, and Curtis Clement were the nucleus of the scoring punch aided by the timely floorwork of Conway Butler and Captain- elect Lawrence Clark. They accomplished the unexpected by checking the invasion of the highly touted Simmons Cowboys and the O. C. U. Goldbugs on the local hardwood. Only three of the squad are lost by gradu¬ ation—Colvin, Clement and Captain Boedeker. PAGE 138 Craig Walling, fiery red-headed ball hawk, showed his many capabilities by his clever passing and accurate goal-shooting. Though lacking in the finer points, Walling possessed an unortho¬ dox style that marks him as a basketeer with chances for acquiring cage fame. B. F. Taylor, flashy forward of last year’s for¬ midable freshman team, continued to pound the hoop in the practice sessions. He failed to see much service but his uncanny eye for the hoop with his accurate push-shot at full speed makes him a promising prospect. PAGE 139 gg ftwcnxia ojn-oe v m h cn. -o -101 j -o not £ FRESHMAN BASKETBALL SQUAD In winning nine games out of eleven starts, this year’s yearling edition of Coach Bob Cox flashed the smoothest ball-playing a first year team has ever presented. Their two losses were at the hands of the Portales Junior College and Wayland. They had previously defeated both teams. The season’s scoring was paced by Too Tall Shackleford who collected 115 points. Jo hnson and Hayes followed in the scoring col¬ umn. Speer, at guard displayed stellar defensive work. The future of West Texas basketball lies on this group, and they have created many pleasant expectations.

Fins year s squad was paced by a duet of sophomore racqueteers—Glyndon Riley, number one singles man and George T. Smalley, backbone of the doubles team. Ri¬ ley’s star backcourt strategy was his main asset, which Smalley defended on his sharply angled volleys. Curry was not eligible for conference competition but demon¬ strated a stroking game worthy of mention. Allison and Howard are squadmen that lacked experience but broadcasted the probability for improvement. Darrell Hemp- lull made lus debut this year, and though he lacks polish, is sure to display a driving game that classes him as potential material in lus two remaining years. PAGE 144 Coach Jones. The Team: Burke, Savage, Townsend, Miles, Blaine, J. Blaine. Swimming, formerly classed as a nonemtv by the athletic cabinet, was organized this year as a minor sport on the campus under the mentorship of Coach Mitchell Jones. With virtually little experience, many aspirants reported, and Coach Jones whittled his team of inexperienced swimmers. West Texas first intercollegiate aquatic team par¬ ticipated in a dual meet at Roswell, N. M. against the N. M. M. I. cadets. They were smothered by a score of 66 to 16, but swimming had been established as a sport at W. T. by giving much evidence that it is destined to rise, when the new pool now under construction becomes available. Jack Jennings, stellar fancy diver and water poloist was elected to captain the 1936 swimming squad.

The paper is written and edited by undergraduates, aided by a faculty adviser. In this way it is made both the official voice of W. T., sounding the opinions of the students and faculty. Its purpose, besides being a mere journal of campus activities, is to preserve a cross-section of college life accurately enough to be preserved permanently. 7 he Prairie has membership in interstate and national press associations as well as in the local press club. Whatever success 1 he Prairie has had has been due directly to the efforts of the in¬ dividual members of the staff under the helpful guidance and timely counsel of its sponsor, Mrs. T. V. Reeves.

Through lack of leadership, the club was discontinued for several years. Three years ago the club was reorganized, and under the sponsorship of Mrs. T. V. Reeves and Dr. B. F. Fronabarger, the club is one of the foremost organizations on the campus. Each year, the club enters the state organization, Texas Intercollegiate Press As¬ sociation, contests. In 1935, members of the club won several honors in the contests. The Prairie won second place in the Class B college newspaper contest. The Prairie won a loving cup for first place in 1934. The 1934 Le Mirage also won a loving cup. The convention of the Association was held at Huntsville last year and at Alpine this year. Several members of the W. T. Press Club were delegates to the conven¬ tion. OFFICERS Bill Britton - - -. Brady McCoy. Virginia Hohlaus.
