A class officer for two years, membership in Cardinal Key, and active participation in all campus activities characterize La Verne. L to R-First row: Edna Ruth Hamblen, Sara Cargile, David Da rling, La Verne Cloudt, Prudence Arthur and Dr. Bach, sponsor. Second row: Don Lacey, Mary Lou Cooper, Howard Forister, Bertie Leonard, john Sayer, Bernard Hedges. STUDENT COUNCIL . Officers of the Student Executive Council are elected by the student body. Members of the Council are rep- resentatives from each class, who serve for one year. It is the duty of this group to promote student activities, and to serve as a link ,between the classes and the entire student body. Functions of the Student Council are to con- duct all general elections, help plan Homecoming and Career Conferences, sponsor the Christmas Dance, and to regulate expenditure of funds for various campus activities. L to R-Ralph Craig, vice presi- dent, Joe DiCosimo, presidentg Rita Allan, secretary-treasurer. S . Leading the Seniors through their last college year were joe DiCosimo, presi- dentg Ralph Craig, vice presidentg and Rita Allan, secretary-treasurer. Many ad- ditions and subtractions have been made to this class during each of its years, but a triumphant group will be receiving its sheepskins in May. Participation, rather than sponsorship, was the keynote of senior activity for the year.

She was elected secretary of her class for two years, secretary of the Stu- dent Council this year, and is a member of Cardinal Key and Kappa Delta Pi. She is an honor student and an accom- plished pianist, and shows prospects for a great future in both spheres of en- deavor. Most Likely to Succeed H oward F orister 'fClimbing the ladder to success has been a certain fate for Howard. As one of the basketball team's high scorers year after year, and president of the Letter- men's Club, he has demonstrated ability both as a participant and a leader in the field of sports. Still higher steps on the proverbial ladder are sure to be scaled in the future. Sara Cargile Sara Cargile, most popular girl for 1950-51, is a junior here at Western. Sara comes from the nearby Mimbres Valley, and until her marriage last winter was known as Sara Von Tress. She was doubly honored this year, for the stu- dents elected her Homecoming Queen for 1950. Sara has always been noted for her school spirit and the will with which she tackles a task to be done. Perhaps it was this trait, along with her natural friendliness, that caused her to be voted the most popular girl in the student body. Most Popular David Darling Dave Darling, our student body presi- dent, was voted most popular boy on the campus this year. Dave, with his friendly smile and Hi was well on his way to this honor last year, when he won the election for presidency of the student body. He is a senior this year, hailing from Deming, and he plans to go into the teaching profession when he grad- uates. Joe College james Powell jim Powell, who hails from Seminole, Tex., is only a sophomore this year, but what a sophomore! No wonder he was chosen joe College for the year. We all remember that he played footballduring the 1950 season as well as the year before that. Then, too, jim has that innate friendliness and fun-loving spirit in him that are marks of a typical college man. Betty Co-ed Arnita White Arnita White, Betty Coed for 1951, is a Silver City girl, and a senior here at NMW. She has a zest for college life as evidenced by her many activities on the campus. Perhaps the most noteworthy of her achievements was the Westerner editorship this year, and co-direction of Aqua-Paradel' Arnita was Homecom- ing princess representing the W club in 1950, and has been accorded many other similar honors. New Mexico Western 'College had five students listed in the 1951 Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities.

FRANK RICO Frank Rico was a fall term graduate from the campus of Western. While here, he was a member of Kappa Delta Pi and was its representative to the national con- vocation. He is now a member of the United States Army. MARGARET THOMAS ' During her four years at Western, Margaret Thomas has participated in many activities. She was a class offi- cer, a Stu ent Council member, president of Cardinal Key and secretary of Kappa Delta Pi. Her main interest, however, is in ,sports both as a participant and leader in WAA of which she is president.

Dona, retty blonde, certainly en- ced the appearance of the id and majorettes. .,,,, , , Majorettes Rita Tumaclitf Allan was NMW's head majozette for the year. Rita, a senior, worked her way u to that rank by working with the band since she first started at NMW. She also directed out-of-pool entertain- ment two years for Aqua-Parade and swam in it. Rita hails from Hobbs, N. ML Prudence Arthur, a freshman from Silver City, joined the ranks of the NMW majorettes after gradu- ating from Westem High, where she was also a majorette. Prudence showed her versatility on the foot- ball field by participating in the famous Powder-Puff ootball game. Ramona Duran, a junior from Deming, participated this year for the lirst time as a majorette for NMW. Twirling didn't take all of her time, however, as she is also a member of Interna- tional Relations Club. Mary Mitchell, who was elected Sun Camival Princess in this, her freshman year, was one of our most popular majorettes. A Silver City girl, she had been a majorette for Western High School for several years. Martha Wellborn, a junior from Silver City, was in her sec- ond year as a majorette for NMW this year. Martha, a physical education major, found time to twirl for the games and various other appearances in spite of her busy schedule, which includes Westerner and alumni activity.

W ' Xb Wk Football As a fan views the powerpacked elevens cavort- ing for the purple and gold teams of today, he seldom realizes that football at New Mexico Western had its rather insignificant beginning in the early 1900's when students would organize a team under the banner of New Mexico Normal and play high schools, army units, or anyone boasting a football squad. History of its inter-collegiate participation, however, might well be the story of Athletic Director Raymond J. Brancheau, who is a pro- tege of the great Knute Rockne. He came to Silver City in 1934 and inaugurated a golden era of football. From 1934 through 1948, Brancheau served as head coach, except in 1942 when he enlisted in the Navy at the outbreak of World War II. The 1942 team, which won an unofficial conference championship, was coached by Woody Clements. Football was then discontinued until the end of wartime and Brancheau's return. His teams won conference championships three times and his teams never finished lower than second place with the exception of the 1947 and 1948 seasons. Titles were won in 1938, 1939, and 1940. In 1948, Brancheau, who was on sabbatical leave at the University of Michigan preparatory to becoming athletic director, was replaced as football coach by Duyane A. Parker, whose team amassed six wins and three losses to tie for third place in conference standings. During the summer of 1950, Parker was called into service with the Silver City National Guard unit. He was replaced by Acting Coach Al johnson, like Parker, a Hardin-Simmons product. This year's sciuad, under the guidance of Coach johnson, p aced second in the conference with a season record of five wins, three losses, and one tie, and placed five men on the all-conference team.

Music for the entire' show was by Ross Capshaw's orchestra while overall student direction was by Nancy Rhinesmith Col- lins and David Darling. Men's and women's water ballet, diving exhibitions, water polo and clowning were featured throughout the perform- ances. Out-of-pool numbers included song and dance routines, novelty numbers, vocal solos and a style show of beach wear. The show was undoubtedly one of the most successful events of the year. Both performances were sell-outs, and acclaim for the production was heard from all who saw it. It is believed that the 1951 Aqua-Parade, now a self-spon- soring event on an all-college basis, will be bigger and better than ever. At this writing, this year's plans include a road tour to Deming, Las Cruces, Hobbs, Santa Fe, Carrie Tingley Hospital at Truth or Consequences, El Paso and a short jaunt to Hurley. All together over 100 students and faculty are involved in producing the show.

Many valuable trophies and golden charm gloves were presented to winners and runner-ups in each class. Winners went to the state con- test at Roswell: state winners to Chicago. Popularity of the event was clearly indicated by the large crowds in attendance each night and college boxers carried off three regional titles.

Guided campus tours, vigorous days of orientation and fresh- men initiation, including a Slave Market, prepared new students for their roles on the campus. The social whirl was next set in motion by the President's Reception, which found a large crowd enjoying the first formal event of the season. In con- trast, the first all-out informal event was the annual W Day, formerly known as T Day. The student body shifted rocks from the old letter to the new. To offer relief from this hard work, the Westerner gave a Splash Party at the College pool. Last, but far from least, were the first football games of the season. The Mustangs met defeat at their opener with Eastern Arizona College but rallied to a rousing victory over St. Michael's for the first home game and season. victory. ! 1 5:15550 e 2 1 Casa Loma Night Club Grant County's Most Exclusive Night Spot Borenstein's New Dept.

Three cakes were raffled and the crowd danced to the pleasant music of joe DiCosimo's orchestra. For their first production of the year, the playmakers presented an old-fashioned melodrama entitled Home Is Where the Hearts Are.

Under the direction of Mrs. Ruth Myra, the choir sang a program ol' negro spirituals. Four mem- bers of the group sang solos, one of which was accom- panied by a choral background.

Two cakes were raffled, the first going to Lester Gale, the second to Mr. Robert White. Doughnuts and spiced punch were served to the entire crowd. The Mustangs had a colorful month which included a tie of 14-14 with Adams State, victories of 32-7 over the Fort Bliss Rockets and 51-0 over Highlands. The dark moment came when the Mustangs met defeat from Eastern New Mexico by a score of 14-7. BUFFALO BAR Silver City, N. M. Dormitory activities got under way this month with a party at Ritch Hall following the Mustang-Grey- hound game. Cokes and doughnuts were served while the girls and their guests enjoyed an evening of infor- mal dancing.

But even weary football girls managed to attend the Blue Key bingo party held in the Cooler a few days after the game. The day after the Sadie Hawkins' Dance found several jugs of Kickapoo Joy Juice remaining, and the dance was labeled fun by all who attended, but the competition of deer season was too much even for Sadie. Then, after the usual last minute rush to complete floats, everyone joined in the spirited cele- bration of Homecoming Day which included a par- ade, football game and dance.

The first screen dance was held at this time along with the annual contest of costumes, and some of those costumes! Various prizes were presented to the outstanding couples and individuals. Basketball games were still the big news, and a pep assembly razzing Eastern New Mexico was one of the best of the year.

This wittv and laugh-filled production will long be remembered by the students at Western. By this time, term exams had rolled around again, after which spring vacation was a welcome relief. MARCH The month of March ushered in the spring term. Again we went through the myriad cards for registra- tion, trying to figure out just what to take. March had its share of fun tho'.

Following the play, the seniors presented TV Carni- val on the weekend. There were sev- eral dances during the month, includ- ing the freshman St. Patrick's Day dance. The Playmaker Inter-Class One-Act Play Contest was a big suc- cess. And so the winds of March blew us into April. APRIL More activities than ever were set in motion in April. The month got off to a hilarious start with the Club Follies. As usual the antics of our favorite athletes when they hit the Light Hall stage kept us all in stitches. The juniors sponsored a VVestern Dance that was a great suc- cess, and the next day a group of am- bitious students left for Playday at White Sands. As usual, they came back to grace the campus with their sunburned backs and peeling noses. Career Conference overflowed the school with-high school students anx- ious to compete for awards in music, dramatics, home economics, com- merce and other areas. After that little storm we needed a lull for a few weeks.
