20th anniversary
Pershing Rifles will celebrate
its 20th anniversary Saturday
with a formal dinner at Lytle
Shores Auditorium.
On Feb. 2 1954 the first PR
unit was chartered as Co. L-7
with 42 men active. Twenty
years later Co. L-17 as the
name was later changed to will
celebrate with a formal dinner
in the style of the "old Army Re-
gimental Dining-in traditions"
according to Capt. David Raab
PR advisor.
The dining-in goes back to the
British army which had formal
dining regulations under the
queen's authority.
Some traditions to be ob-
served at the formal dinner are
the formal presentation of col-
ors; a reception line allowing
commanders and guests of honor
to meet everyone; and the his-
tory of the units to be read by
members of the PR and CAPER
units.
It is becoming a tradition for
the PRs and CAPERS (Coed Af-
filiates of Pershing Rifles) to
have a formal dinner each year.
Original members of the
Pershing Rifles are also ex-
pected to attend the dinner. Two
Abilenians who signed the char

There was a time not too long
ago when "Who's Anne Mur-
ray?" seemed a legitimate ques-
tion to all except a few devoted
country music fans.
But that was before she re-
corded "Snowbird" and long be-
fore she crossed all the tradi-
tional music boundaires of top
40 pop country easy-listening
and even semi-classical.
Whether it's her versatility as
a singer or her reputation for
bringing a new and refreshing
dimension to show business
Anne Murray has "caught on"
both in the United States and
her native Canada.
She'll appear in concert at
Hardin-Simmons Thursday
Feb. 21 under the sponsorship

ter in 1954 and are expected to
attend are Dr. William Irby Fox
and John Crowe.
Guests of Honor will be Dr.
and Mrs. Rod Cannedy and Mr.
and Mrs. Edgar Jackson.
The colors will be posted by
members of the Abilene -High
School Junior ROTC drill team.
Kiwanis ask
for Circle K
Several Abilene Kiwanis
Clubs have expressed an in-
terest in establishing a Circle K
organization on the Hardin-
Simmons campus.
Circle K is the college level
affiliate organization to
Kiwanis. Some students may
have participated in Key Club
activities while in high school.
Key Club is the high school af-
filiate to Kiwanis.
Any men who would be in-
terested in the possibility of es-
tablishing Circle K at H-SU
should contact Dean Bud Au-
stin. If sufficient interest is ex-
pressed in forming such a group
further meetings will be announced.

"She seems to be a special
favorite of college students at
least of our student body" said
Joe Mack Schmidt president of
Student Congress. "Dr. Beazley
told us of several shows we could
bring in but we agreed unanim-

Dr. W. 0. Beazley executive
vice president who for years has
managed the university's artist
series predicts a sell-out for this
performance.
"We're urging Miss Murray's

Becoming a familiar sight around campus is the new security vehicle which is
complete with a revolving red light on top. Not only has H-SU gotten a new cop car

Though Miss Murray con-
tinues to live in Canada and was
recently quoted in a syndicated
story as saying she would never
move to New York or Hol-
lywood she has become a famil-
iar figure on U.S. television. All
her fans know for instance that
she was a physical education
teacher before joining show bus-
iness and they also know that
"Snowbird" was her first major
hit. She received a gold record in
the United States for selling one
million copies of that record at
retail.
Much of her singing still bears
a country flavor but possibly
