Cooke McDaniel and Von Roeder
Attend Annual College Meetings
Cookt Attends Memphis
Meeting of Southern
Association of Colleges
President Harold G Cooke re-
turned to the campus Fiiday
March 29 after spending a week
In Memphis Tcnn where he at-
tended the meeting of the South-
ern Association of Colleges which
met for the first time in three
years because of the war
President Cooke whose main
business in attending the meet-
ing was to procure membership
for McMuiry in the Southern As-
sociation of Colleges reported
Saturday
"Previous to the meeting of the
Southern Association of Colleges
we sent in reports on McMurry's
progress I went before the com-
mittee of membership and accre-
ditation and was told that Mc-
Murry had made a very substan-
tial progress during the past
three years and that the standard
of our work thoroughly warrant
ed membership in the Southern
Association of Colleges It was
found that wo have sufficient en-
dowment and that by meeting the
requirements of faculty salaries
and by bringing some additional
Ph D s into the faculty they felt
certain that accreditation could
be accorded to McMutry.
"Since their next meeting is in
December and a number of col
leges arc to be investigated for
membership they said that it
would not be possible to invest!
gate this institution until aftor
the December meeting
"All three colleges m Abilene
were represented at the meeting
H-SU by Dr. Rupert N. Rich
ardson and A C C by Dr. Don
Morris.
Primary discussion and em
phasis were on veterans' educa-
tion and the new demands placed
upon educational institutions
looking forward to world peace
It was a very fine meeting in
every respect" President Cooke
concluded.
Spring Semester Galleon
Is Distributed To Students
The Spring edition of the Gal-
leon literary magazine published
bi-annually by the students of
McMurry College has been print-
ed and distributed to the students.
Editor for the Spring semester
was Lewis Henslcy who did an
excellent job of management. The
Galleon has always ranked among
the best college literary maga-
zines in the Texas Intercollegiate
Press Association and it is ex-
pected to receive another first
place rating at this year's contest
to be held during the last days
of April.
Following a central theme of
World Peace the Galleon con
tained many expressions of ideas
of veterans as to the future of
mankind.
In the short story "Wrong Side
of the Tracks" by Joyce Shcmll
there is a portrayal of life as it
is actually lived today. War love
and happiness are combined to
present a background for ever-
lasting peace This short story
was entered in the T I P A. con
test.
"Italy's Children" by Joseph
Michael will stir every American
heart in sympathy to the plead
ing cries of starving children
In "Combat" a short short
story by Preston Clark there is
suspense action and a very sur
prising conclusion
If you are interested in the fu-
ture "A Trip to the Moon" by
Gay Cooper should interest you.

DR. COOKE
2 Former McMurrians
Named As Co-Coaches
Of Winters Blizzards
It has been announced that
Duke Ellington and Bob Shclton
roommates and all around ath-
letes at McMurry before the war
will be at the helm of the Winter.
High School football team next
fall The McMurrians landed the
class A coaching positions when
Francis Smith resigned to become
assistant coach at Southwestern.
Ellington is from Amanllo and
was a regular on pre-war Indian
football basketball baseball ten-
nis and track teams Shclton
served the Tribe as an end on the
grid team and as one of the best
hurlcrs ever to work on an In-
dian baseball nine.
Both men saw service in the
European Theater of Operations
Ellington as a gunner with the
Eighth Air Force and Shclton as
a communications officer with the
Ninth Air Force.
They are driving to Winters
each day to hold Spring training
sessions with the Blizzards Shel-
ton has plans for reviving base-
ball at Winters High next Spring.
"As a Man Thinks" an essay
by Eldndge Trott is probably the
best bit of writing in the entire
magazine. Forceful timely and
an expression of deep thinking
this essay has been entered in the
T.IP.A contest also.
David Richey has well ex-
pressed the life of the West in its
younger days in his article on
"Cowboy Ballads" These are
ballads of Texas songs of the
West.
There are a number of good
poems in the Galleon "A Vete-
ran Speaks" by Gene Anderson
is a burning answer to what the
vets feel as having been dominant
throughout the war. The title of
"Spring Love" by Lloyd Blanks
speaks for itself and typical of
Blanks' style and coloring of the
imagination it is one of his best
poems. It is the poetry entry of
the McMurry Press Club in the
T.I P A. contest.
Three editorials "The Signifi-
cance of Individualism" by Ray
Hart; "A Conquered Nation's
Cry" by Zoe Humphreys; and
"Dreams" by Ruth Campbell
are proof that college students of
today are doing a great deal of
thinking and planning for the
tasks that lie ahead of them as
the men and women of tomorrow
The Galleon is a fine literary
magazine well written and com
posed that will long be treasured
by the students of McMurry as a
seed of Peace for the future.

1946 Totem To Be Largest
Yearbook In McM History
The war may be over but you
couldn't prove it by June Trott
editor of the 1946 Totem Al-
though this year's edition will be
the largest in history and
promises to be vastly improved
over any in the past few years a
continued shortage of materials
and strikes in the lumber indus-
try these strikes affect engrav-
ing may delay the issue date
Unless publication is hampered
by these delays the Totem will
be in the hands of McMurry stu-

The book will feature the album
of veterans and servicemen write-
ups on revived organizations and
a renewal of the sports section
This edition will contain at least
ten pages in the servicemen's al-
bum. The sports section for the
first time in three years will have
a good coverage of basketball and
track containing some eight
pages of pictures and writcups.
Class sections will also be greatly
increased. A record breaking 30
pages of advertising helped pay
for the much larger edition.
This will be the thickest volume
of school activities ever published
