This is a memorable day in the history of Hardin-
Simmons University. It is a time when we mny stop
momentarily in the rush of campus growth and look back
upon the days which made this greatness possible; to a
man who more than any other was responsible for what
we are today. It is therefore fitting that the newest and
finest structure of which he dreamed be named after him.
In keeping with the backward glance we have attempt-
ed in this issue to afford students old and new a glimpse
of life as he found it when he came to Simmons College
in 1909.
By comparison we may begin to realize the countless
things he put into the structures of its buildings as they
were added one after another. However no pictures or
words could fully recreat the dynamic personality or
ceaseless love which he planted here . . . only those
who knew him can understand that. For Prexy as he was
lovingly called built great men and women as well as
stone structures.
Those of us who did not have the privilege of meeting
the man personally must depend upon what others say
for our knowledge of him We have found his monument
surrounding us in every phase of Christian life on the
campus.
"We hope that this issue will span the vast gulf between
yesteryear and today making them as one so that by
seeing what we have been and where we now are we
may push forward to the goal he sought ... a great
school with a great .future. The Staff.

Despite all the improvements made at H-SU during
the past year there is still an eye-sore on the campus.
It is the parking lot behind Abilene Hall. Not only
is it an eye-sore but in its present condition it is detri-
mental to the progress of the school.
Cars may come and cars may go ; but the parking lot
will remain forever for quite awhile anyway. The very
fact that it is a permanent affair and that it must be
used daily is enough to warrant a change to the better
in appearance and serviceability.
Put on ye ol' thinking cap and remember the condi-
tions of the rainy season last year. Not only did cars
get stuck in the boggy mud of the parking lot but there
was not enough room for everyone to park in other areas.
To precent a repeat performance of this situation the
old parking lot should undergo a face lifting. It should
be graded and covered with gravel and asphalt or cement.
Parking spaces should be marked off and a definite en-
trance and exit should be indicated.
This would not only relieve the parking situation but
would gradually add to the beauty of the area. It would
also benefit those who have to park their cars on the lot.
It would be advantageous in every way and wouldn't
cost much money.
The rainy season is just around the corner and a de-
cision should be made soon if improvements are to be
made. It's up to the administration to make this de-
cision. Lawhorne.

Women Score Highest
On Freshman I Q Test
By SHIRLEY MARTIN
The intelligence test that all
freshmen were required to take
upon entering H-SU proved again
that women are no smarter than
men and vice versa.
The average I. Q. of all fresh-
men was 107.5. The women aver-
aged 107.7 and the men averaged
107.2. This is approximately the
same average as for preceding
years.
Three aptitude tests were given
including I. Q. English and math
tests. The highest ranking stu-
dents on an average of these three
tests were: Joan Robertson Tu-
cumcari New Mexico; Bertha
Hardage Crowell; Geri Phelps
Abilene; Kathryn Stewardson
Santa Anna; Betty G. Todd San
Angelo.
High students on the intelli-
gence test were: Geri Phelps Abi-
lene; Norman W. Richardson
Eastland; Joan Robertson Tu-
cumcari N. Mex.; Kathryn Stew-
ardson Santa Anna; and Janice
King Lamesa.
Students ranking highest on the
English test were: Jane Welch
Hereford; Carolyn Lasseter Abi-
lene; Geri Phelps Abilene; Ber-
tha Hardage Crowell; and Inez
Tucker Hereford.
On the math test the high stu-
dents were as follows: R. A.
Partlow Tulia; Joan Robertson
Tucumcari N. Mex.; J. D. Whit-
man Abilene; Durward Porter
Central Point Oregon; and Alvah
Blackerby Abilene.
Freshmen may find out about
their standings by seeing Dr.
Ford C-l Abilene Hall during
his office hours.

and seemed to be a wonderful
man. "Oh yes" said Mancill "he
sat down on the steps and talked
with me half an hour last night."
Any description of Prexy San-
defer seems inadequate. A host of
f i lends will never forget the spon-
taneous smile the firm grasp of
his hand the resonance of his
voice and the ready joke or pleas-
antry. But when all of these and
other traits are named the pic-
ture is still not complete. His zest
for life and buoyancy of spirit
seemed to be unequalled.
His love for the school was
magnificent. Others might regard
it as just an ordinary college
much like a hundred others in
the land but to him it was al-
ways great. No matter that its
buildings were small larger ones
would be built in the years ahead;
though it had just a few hundred
students some day it would have
its thousands. He thought about
it and planned for it by day and
by night. His very heart and soul
were linked with it inseparably
and it was difficult for him not
to be resentful of any criticism
of it.
So when today the beautiful
library and administration build-
ing is dedicated as Sandefer Me-
morial it will be one step toward
the realization of the dreams of
a man who loved the school with
a devotion that has never been
surpassed. Today those of us who
knew him best will in fancy see
a man well above the average
height neatly dressed in a brown
suit with shoes hat and tie to
match walk up the path from
Ambler Avenue toward the new
building with the lively stride of
a freshman. He will stop half way
to gaze briefly on the shapely
structure that bears his name
then hasten on enter the foyer
remove his hat stand very erect
and with high head and radiant
face delight in the simple beauty
of the scene before him. Yes tne
spirit of Prexy Sandefer will be
with us today and if we listen
intently surely we shall hear his
whispered words of approval and
delight.
Seniors Choose
Other Officers
Election of senior class officers

ing in Behrens chapel. Paul Petty

football team was elected vice-
president; Roland Gregory social

Rangers Newest
Pep Organization
The newest organization on the
40 acres is the H-SU Rangers.
Freshly organized to give spunk
and go to school spirit this male
cheering team is being molded in-
to a group of students that will be
present at all sports actitvities
and encourage every student in
the grandstands to back the pur-
ple and gold clad warriors of
H-SU.
Don McClure vice-president of
the student council is the leader
of the Rangers and encourages
every man on the campus to con-
tact him concerning membership.
The organization was created
for those who do not participate
in sports or band. It was organ-
ized to give everyone a chance to
take an active part in school func-
tions. The Rangers will participate in
the parade downtown this after-
noon and will be present as a
group when the Cowboys play the
University of Arizona tonight in
Parramore Field.

Ballad Singing Cowpoke
Has Three Shows Weekly
By DUB MASON
This is radio station KHSU on
the Hardin-Simmons campus.
And now we take you to studio A
where Tommy Edwards that bal-
lad singing cowpoke is waiting
to entertain you for the next 15
minutes with music from the
wasteland .... take it away
Tommy.
This little scene is one which
takes place three days each week
at 3:30 p. m. in the Hardin-Simmons
radio station. The cowboy
singing artist is Tommy Edwards
a junior student from "deep in the
heart of " Abilene Texas. Tom-
my has been strumming his gui-
tar and singing for the past ten
years.
He started his music career at
Hardin-Simmons last year while
playing with our own "Slim Wil-
let." Willet or legally Winston
Moore graduated last June so this
year Tommy moved into Slim's
spot on the program. Three after-
noons a week he has a record
show and on the other three eve-
nings he plays and .sings.
Tommy has played with several
well known string bands through-
out this area among which are
"Smoky Daniel's Hillbillies" and
the "Melody Kings." He has per-
formed over several radio stations
and entertained Navy personnel
"all over the Pacific."
But does he plan to make a ca-
reer of his ballad singing? Nope
not Mr. Edwards. He is working
toward a degree in business and
desldcs to run his own some day.
He attended SMU for one year
but gave it up to come to a school
just a little nearer Abilene where
his wife and two children reside.
He graduated from Abilene High

News Item
Simmons College Band Men are
proving themselves to be musi-
cians of the first class. It is a
marvel how master Rogers is de-
veloping such a large group of
comparatively new men into
seemingly experienced players
with such noticeable powers of
interpretation. On Tuesday morn-
ing the band played in chapel
to the entire satisfaction of all
present.
The most importan case in Cow-
den Hall court at the last meet-
ing was that filed by the state
agajnst Messrs. Whiteside and
Shaw. They were accused of the
serious offense of being the same
size. Defendants pleaded guilty
and a two round boxing match
ensued. The spectators enjoyed it
immensely.
Alumni Notes

of the 1916 Bronco is in the State
