On a miniature scale a day holds all the elements of nature which could appear in a week, a year, or a lifetime. ln its hours of light and in its hours of darkness, a day brings forth activities which, when com- bined, form the moving line of civilization. Pressure of living cre- ated by the continual mingling of ideas, actions and results culminate in a whirligig existence where the hopes, fears and dreams of man- kind travel in an ethereal atmos- pherc. College is the time when a person has passed beyond the confines of a protected introduction to life and is stranded while try- ing to find a secure place in that life. ln the 1952 Le Mirage, an attempt has been made to follow the day by day pattern of students as they move in the circles of col- legiate life on this campus. When- ever vou have advanced past the uncertainties of your college days and reach that secure place in life, it is hoped this record of events will stand the test of time and will bring you happy memories.

Typical scene of 'moving-in day' at West Texas State was at Buffalo Courts where frosh Orville Copeland and Leon Evans lug in their clothes. The next day they had their football pictures snapped in Buffalo Stadium. QContinued on Page 16, l Featuring 6 6 ILDI G A CA PUS sta Q In 1910 the campus of West Texas State boast- ed one building. Today, the college buildings num- ber 28, including a new modern field house, a badly-needed library and a memorial chapel. Tentative plans are underway to add new wings to several buildings. CHAPEL . . . One of the most impressive buildings on the campus is the new Memorial Chapel, completed in the fall of 1950. EDUCATION . . . Besides housing the demonstration school, grades one through nine, the three-story Education Building is also used for all education courses offer- ed by the department. SCIENCE . . . Garlanded by bright cannas, the modern Science Building is one of the beauty spots of the college. CAFETERIA . . . With two serving lines and speeded-up service, the cafeteria straightened out the confusion and delay resulting from the added load of the more than 300 airmen in school. FIl2L'D HOUSE . . . The reeentlg'-mmpleted Physical Edufation Building is one of the newest additions to the campus. The building was dedicated December 3, 1951 at the WT-Phillips 66 basketball game. MUSEUM . . . Renowned for its portrayal of llie early day.: uf the Graaf Plains, the Panlmndle-Plains Histuriml Soriety Museum d-razvs visitors from all over the nation. LIBRARY . . . Shown at the lialfrualv mark in completion, the Library is experted to be ready for use in the near future. SPEECH . . . Plays, radio programs and stirring speeches are everyday oceuranres in the Speech Building, also loca- tion of the Branding Iron Theatre. ENGLISH . . . Classes ranging from freshman composition to Anglo-Saxon readings meet in the English Building, a buff-brick renovated Army mess-hall. HOME MANAGEMENT HOUSE . . . All home eronomics majors spend a part of earh semesler in the home- fnaking house, planning budgets and preparing meals. Al left, the two home ec majors cooking dinner are Laverne Fowler and Dorolhy Mr'Casland. VOCATIONAL SHOPS . . . Metal-work and the study of nzarhinerjv make up most of lhe tlasses held in the Voeational Building. PF .-Q K 1 . . 5 BUFFALO STADIUM . . . The Homecoming game between VVT and Hdfdfll-SilH1H01lS brought the one crowd to the stadium during the 1951 season. All other home games of the Buffaloes were played in Amarillo Stadium. The rest of the year the llleafhers were empty and only practice games were played upon the gridiron. BURTON GYM . . . Another WT athletic plant is taking a well-deserved rest as varsity basketball switched to the new Field House. Old Burton was used mainly for intramural aelizfilies. Its future status is still in question. LL SnL,7,, 7,7 PUBLICATIONS . . . Serving as the news and activity center of the campus, students streamed in and out of this building all year carrying information and ideas. The Health Center occupies the ground floor. BAND HOUSE. . . . Home of the 70-piece Buffalo marching band anrl the Buffalo concert band. With individual practice rooms, broadcasting facilities, large rehearsal studio, the Band House was a mecca for college music lovers. 5. if' is 1, SWIMMING POOL . . . In the good ole summer time! One of the favorite hot weather retreats on the campus is the outside swimming pool. Earl: day during the hot months the pool is filled with college batliers basking or swimming. TENNIS COURTS . . . West Texas State's rock-walled courts are always a popular spot. The courts serve both the college tennis team and other students who like the net game.

Some came from other schools and other states while others were honored by their Alma Mater by being assigned tasks to do. One of the first things to he done by most groups was to organize and find out just what had transpired through the sum- mer :ind what was to he expected in the school year ahead. Mrs. R.

Early in the school term students lost one of the most popular and well-liked members of the faculty when Dr. Roy Reinhart, professor of geo- logy, resigned to accept a position at Nliami Uni- versity, Oxford, Ohio. ln his short stay on campus he had doubtless gained the admiration and respect of more students than any one person in recent years. In one of the first club meetings of the year, Joe Walker was selected to head the large and fast-growing Future Teachers of America or- ganization.

In one of the first assemblies of the year, students selected their six cheerleaders for football and basketball. A volunteer corps of leaders did the duties in the first football game. ln a move to interest more students in the finer musics, Amarillo Symphony season tickets were offered to students at a reduced rate. Many took advantage of the offer. Many other VVT students furnished 'action' for the symphony by winning playing scholarships in it. Sludenls file into the first assembly of the year held in ilu' main auditorium. Also, here is wlzere the first yazvns of boredom were revealed.

Uneler the tutorship of heaclmixmaster James Gainblin, the slimes ran through the usual line of action such as eating square meals, singing songs they dicln't know with voices they dicln't have, and the sad but courageous attempts at humor.

The first pep rally was attended by the largest crowd of the season as students 'whupped' it up for the Trinity game. lt was nice that most freshmen 'volunteered' to attend and join the fun. Special thanks went to jerry Williziins, James Gamblin, Barbara McDougal, Bobbie Tucker and Susie Owens for serving as cheerleaders until elections named the regular ones. H Generally, a dance followed each pep rally at which students whiled away a little more time before curfew. I Delta Zeta Chi held the first pep rally drmre in the Student Union and set the pattern for similar dances to follow. Scholarly September continued . . . Buffaloes . . . The second week of school was filled with pre-Tech game color. As the traditional visit to Lubbock neared, the entire student body, band, team, and townspeople pre- pared to 'pack up and go southf Victor over the vaunted Red Raiders the season before, Coach Frank Kimbrough put his football squad through a rigorous week of training for the tilt.

Scholarly September continued One of the biggest and most thorough intramural programs in the history of the college got underway in Septem- ber. Planned with the cooperation of all boy's dorms and clubs and super- vised by hlilton Morris, thc group drew up schedules and rules and a basis of sport-wide awards. At least 400 male students on the campus were touched through the well- planned program and its early success in football called for its execution in basketball and spring sport seasons. Pi Omega sorority threw the Pre-Tech game dance in Randall ballroom. Some hardy souls left immediately afterward for Lubbock and the game some 24-lzours hence. . ..s...WNa.s -.s f I ...huffbyapuff...

Aside from giving freshmen and new students un opportunity to get acquainted with faculty members, it gave faculty members a chance to look over the crop of prospective scholastic talent. Following the serving of punch and cookies, faculty members were hosts to the student body at a dance in Cousin's ballroom. Scholarly September mntinued . . . student manager Manager of the Student Union, Clayton Knapp was elected to the position in Septem- ber by the Student Council.

One of the most colorful months of the year was highlighted by some of the most colorful activities on the West Texas State calendar. Football games, bonfires, elections, plays, selection of Sun Princess and Foootball Queen all lead upward to the climax which came with Homecoming. Students were 'booked solid' for the month.

Patrick Boddy won the plaudits of the judges with his accordion stylings. A brand-new organization made its appearance on the campus under the name of Buffalo Gals. Dedicated to service to the school and the wis- ing of school spirit, the Gals moved quickly in securing pledges and mak- ing plans for uniforms. High school honor graduates re- ceived special attention when invited to be the guests of honor societies, Mary E.

She enjoys singing, play- ing the piano and dancing. She is a member of Buffalo Nasquers, local dra- ma group, and the Treble Ensemble. Billye joined girls from over the southwestern area in a week-long whirl of social activities in El Paso which in- cluded bull fights, concerts, parades, dances, banquets, basketball tournament and the traditional Sun Bowl football game. Chill VVills headed a troupe of movie stars through the Texas Panhandle in mid-October as a salute to Movie Time in Texas. The troupe stopped in Canyon for a 45-minute show. Academic activity held the spotlight in October, also, with the Fourth Annual Education Conference at' tended by some 300 educators. District librarians con- vened on campus one week later for a full day's session. The colleges musical organizations added strength with the formation of a girl's treble ensemble in the voice department and two boy's quartets. Immediate accept- ance came in the form of bookings for the groups to Y appear before Panhandle groups. HoIlrzr'nod's movie routers stop to cal lunch in the colleges cafelrria.

Traditional rush week and pledging of the social greelas occupied much of the month of October. Start- ing from the Inter-Club Council Tea for all girls on campus and ranging through a series of rush parties, forty-one students signed to pledge social organizations. Following an extended pledge period, hopefuls received EQ Si-ze informal and formal initiations to receive membership. Academic organizations began to fill their ranks with new members after careful examination of past rec- ords. Among the clubs were Alpha Chi, Mary E. Huds- peth, Alpha Psi Omega, Mu Kappa Delta, Alpha Rho Tau, Buffalo Masquers, Buffalo Gals and various church groups. Seniors and freshmen elected class officers with the former naming Kenneth Echols as prexy and the lat- ter picking Kenneth Wheatley to lead the initial year. leontinued ou page sixty-fourj a. b. c QQfSQTifiiE .asses its E' YFNN R X Nix sf:-f-ewes VA ?5'i?': Q, X 4 s l 553' Qxiigg. i at ri ng it s .s g l X 5 i ..

Most every day and night of October presented ideal weather for every type activity except the play- ing of football games. Even the BSU picked a 'just right' night for a hayride at which over 100 students were in attendance. Buffalo Masquers presented the first of their meeting-night plays with The Summons of Sarielf' Kappa Kappa Psi, national band fraternity, elevated six deserving male members of the band into pledge- ship and started them wearing the long ribbons of blue and white. Over in deserted-looking Burton Gym, the 1951- 52 West Texas State basketball squad started prac- tice in mid-October. However, their new home one block west was completed in time for them to open the season in the beautiful structure. Each day of October was filled with the hum of busy activity. However, practically all campus activ- ity stopped when it came time to prepare for Home- coming. Student committees, clubs, groups, etc., planned floats, dances, reunions, and other entertain- ment in order to properly handle the crowd of 6,000 returning exes. l l i l Members of the senior class sell mums to H!7l7ZFf0IlIi7Ig UXFS.

Ochre October continued Slice the onions . . . pick the beans . . . start the fires . . . Preparations for the 1951 Homecoming started at the close of the 1950 Homecoming. From the steering committee in their overalls to student-appointed groups working on small details, en- thusiasm ran high as October 27 drew near. Arrangements to handle a crowd of 6,000 exes takes a lot of work and planning. Fsculty members pitched in to turn out the barbecue with all the trimmings. Some peeled onions, some picked rocks out of the beans, others stewed peaches and apricots and still others whipped up barbecue sauce. An earlier firewood brigade dumped the necessary wood near the barbecue pits and the afternoon before Homecoming the fires were lit and 14 beeves were 'put on' to sizzle. However, just preparing a barbecue to feed hungry visitors is not all that made up the VVest Texas State Homecoming. Cecil Briggs, Rex Reeves, Bill Lord and Dennis Ford join the crying party during 'onion slicing timef The piere of bread in Fordis mouth was to dry away the tears-but, it didn't work. Barberzu'rs lmrw- a hectic moment os rain nearly douses fire. N I The first barbecue fire is touched. Dr. Knott, Kalie McClunvy and Mrs. Knott smnple the sauce. Emmitt Smith and R. E.

Despite the rabid backing of some 7,000 Homecoming rooters in Buffalo Stadium, Coach Frank Kimbrouglfs Buffaloes fell 27-6 before rival Hardin-Simmons University. Although the sunshine came out at halftime to brighten an otherwise drab and gray Homecoming scene, it failed to put a winning spark in the Buffs.

Last spring the Herd's basketball team chose her to wear their crown as basketball queen. Not only is Tootie a rabid football fan, she was selected as cheerleader this year and served throughout the year in that capacity. The Lovington, NM, sophomore is 5'1 and weighs 113 pounds. She has brown hair and green eyes and one of the most pleasing smiles on the campus. Academically, Tootie belongs to Pi Omega sorority and is vice-president of the PE Majors Club. Although certain conditions prevented her being crowned at the traditional Homecoming game, Tootie was later Crowned at a Football Dance.

Comette and regent Newton Harrell occupy the front seat in a parade surrey while president-emeritus D. A. Hill 'rides in the back. W OCl1re OCt0lJ6I' continued Eighteen high school hands joined with the college's Buffalo Band to give Home- coming entertainment ancl color to the pa- rade and halftime show.

Sigs 'iraiernity Ward' jailed to win a-ward! Collegiate competition among floats entered in the parade was the keenest in years. Pi Omega sorority captured first place honors followed by Kappa Tau Phi in second and Delta Zeta Chi in third.

Clubs and organizations spent considerable time planning reunions. For twcrhours fol- lowing the football game, coke parties, teas, and smokers filled available housing spots around the campus. Exes absent from the campus for several years had a field day inspecting campus ad- ditions. Recently completed buildings re- ceiving most attention were the president's home, English building, Memorial Chapel, Field House and library.

Buff cheerleaders held a dance lo add funds to money alreaziy in the fill and earmarked for nezulswealers. One of the cheerleaders, Bobbie Tucker, mans the toll gate. Following an open date after the Tempe game, VVest Texas State's Buffs moved to Las Cruces where they hung up their second win of the season. New Mexico A8rM's Aggies were the victims by a 50-20 count. Coach Frank Kim- brough used freshmen and sophomores during most of the game in overpower- ing the weak Aggies. Students and faculty alike were ready and willing to shelve books for a short rest period and make turkey tracks out of Canyon to enjoy the Thanksgiv- ing holidays. fC0l1lflI1lt ll on page I09j Nippy November continued Rallies . . . game . . . dance . . . Football in the month of November saw the Buffs take one win and absorb two more defeats to end the season with a 2-7 record. Early in the month the Herd flew to Tempe, Arizona, where they met power-packed Arizona States Sun Devils before 16,000 Devil Homecoming fans. The Ari- zoniana shut out the Buffs 34-0, the first such trick performed by anyone in four years. Thanksgiving SGSENIUII CLASS'9 The Class of '52 is comprised of some of the most active and colorful students ever to attend school at West Texas State. Led by devoted Kenneth Echols, Plainview, the class numbered among the largest in the history of the school. Several activities were carried on by the group during the school year with the major projects being the sale of mums on Homecom- ing Day and the class gift to the college. Other officers leading the class were vice- president I. Roy Henry, Shamrockg Pat Huff, Canadian, secretaryg and Joyce Evans, Post, treasurer. 4-1 In the midst of the throng of undergradu- ate students on campus each year are a small group of hardworking graduates working toward their mas- ter's degree. Although most seeking this honor attend during the summer months, a few brave the arduous task of trying to get it by going through the winter terms. Most get into the swing of undergraduate activity and possibly depart with a deeper appreciation of the college life 'they had for- gotten' than do those who do not have the as- sociations with younger students.

Snow and ice kept area fans, as well as students, from getting to Canyon to see WT's conference-opening game with Flagstaff, but the few who made it were treated to an exhibition of shooting skill. But, after the game, a large majority of VV est Texans present went over to Randall for the after-game dance.

Pnl Huff i.vn't interested at all. The bitter cold of the first week of 1952 dampened everyone, although some few took advantage of no class absences even if they were only snow-bound in Randall or Cousins, and then only during the day. But over in the Speech building, rehearsal was in its last stages for presentation of Double Doorl' early in the next week. Speech majors were scurrying all over town scrounging props and costumes, and those in the play could be identified by their hollowed baggy eyes. ' Q Q S X X X' 5 X 91 iv X.

But it shared the spotlight with a music clinic for ehoristers of Interscholastic League District 1. And, of course, the usual after-game dance was thrown as well as another 'ust for the heck of it. An Englislt schoolmarm now teach- ing in Amarillo on an exchange plan spoke to FTA. The junior class fi- nally gathered up enough courage to meet together and elect officers, just in time to catch the annual dead- line.

Dead week stared Vllest Texas in the face, but students were not to be denied another fling before they sat down to catch up on a semesters work. The sophomore class got together and elected officers and made plans for a class party. Dean of Men Mitchell jones went to Cincinnati to represent the Border Conference at the National AAU meeting and helped condemn professionalism in college football. ln a serious vein, former-student James Thomas Halnilton was buried in Ama- rillo with full military honors. He and his brother Kenneth were killed within one week of each other in Korea. Both were in the lX'larine Corps. The Prairie printed the final exam schedule which reminded everyone to settle down and not run-and-play so much.

Drug stores, cafes and grocery stores around the campus reported sales of sandwiches, coffee and snaek ma- terial up almost 100 per cent, indicating students planned to stay at home and prepare themselves for the slaughter. The registrar's office started releasing class schedules for the spring semester and knots of Yvllexans trying to figure out next semesters class plan showed how worried about finals and grades they really were.

Registration had hardly been finished and the first classes met before enthusiasm began to run high for the Tech basketball game. There was a sort of a pep rally and a dance afterward. ln fact, if anything happened on the campus, there was a dance afterward-almost. The rivalry between Wlest Texas and Texas Tech has almost become a legend. Just before a game between the two, the very mention of the other school on either campus is an invitation to mayhem-unless you spit first. This game would eliminate the other from first place in the Border Conference basketball race. 179 - Kam' X xiii Q Yin if I V n Maybe 1111 sludwzts l1z'adi11g lmrk In l'l!l.Y.Yl'.Y at Ihr Imginning of flu' spring swrlzfsim' iI'l'VI'H'l this zuzlmjzpy, Im! lhvsf' fares of Virgemz Fi1'IrI.v.

The annual's annual Beauty Dance really didn't happen until February first, but the last week of january found the whole annual staff plus anyone else they could corral painting and hauling. The basketballing Buffaloes went off on a road trip, no one pitched a dance, there weren't any good shows on downtown and clubs werenlt partying so the campus had about as much activity as dead week. Spring weather - wind and dust included - gave a lazy feeling and every afternoon saw carloads headed toward Palo Duro for picnics. Hand- holding couples strolled around at night . . . and for some reason, the street lamps began to dim Clnainten- ance men found short circuits in the underground cablesl Pat Cantrell and Donna Erwin are shown rlufcking ozwr some items mnrernetl with things like flu' United States and mints. They are really trying lo figure out hon' 1l1'll'ClI clmngc they should get from the bank to use at llu' door on the night of the Beauty Dance. Preparations for the first formal dance of the year went on full tilt right up until less than 30 minutes before time for it to start. On Wednesday night before fateful Friday lights stayed on in the Administration audi- torium while a ship was painted on scenery flats. Then the next morning before the janitors could get there, the lights were on again as the floor of the stage was mopped to clean up the excess paint that wasn't needed to decorate the flats. During the preceding days the State Highway Depart- ment could have found themselves minus some evergreen branches which were ap- propriated to paint for seaweed. Floats and life rings were borrowed from the swim- ming pool and ended up purple and cream. james Gamblin leans almost to the toppling point trying to reach an inaccessible wrong-mlored splolcla on 11 flat.

VVhen all the painting that was needed was done, fern leaves came from the florist and cardboard linoleum rolls came from Taylors to make palm trees. VVomen's PE dredged up volleyball, tennis and badminton nets. The Speech department donated spot and flood lights. lX Iaintenance came through with platforms and a truck. Lumberyards downton gave up credit for buying lumber and nails. Then Betty johnson, new dietitian, presented a key to the cafeteria and all the odds and ends gathered for weeks were drug inside. Student laborers in the chow hall helped move tables and chairs and then mopped the floor. Assembly of the flotsam and JICKSLIIH began. All afternoon long pounding and punching, painting and pushing and a few well-placed cuss words filled the din- ing room. A final going-over of the floor with dust mops and the Collegians moved in, ready to play for four hours of dancing.
