Don's On Campus
Total Seventeen
Rumor has it that someone on
the band bus before the ACC
game yellow "What do you say
Don?" and the result was a
deafening roar of "Beat those
Wildcats!" The reason? There
.were four boys on the bus by the
name of Don.
And the result at a meeting of
the entire student body would
have been even greater for there
are no less than 17 Don's enrolled
in McMurry now.
The four Don's who are band
members are surnamed Cook
Davis Dennis and Hamilton.
Confusing? . . . Well slightly!
At least four of our Don's have
had brothers or sisters at Mc-
Murry. They are Don Cook Don
Cunningham Don Rowland and
Don Hunt.
A complete list (omitting
first names for obvious reasons)
is as follows: Cook Cunningham
Denis Dix Greenfield Hamilton
Lamb Yarbrough freshmen;
Davis Dickey Mawson sopho-
mores; Howard Ramsey Taylor
Hunt juniors; Hendley Rowland
seniors.
