Tht Fint Arts
The Fine Arts arc the salt of life its seasoning and savor.
Can you imagine a church service without beautiful music
a cathedral without the inspiration of a great plan.
In the words of the Balladist "Without an song a man
ain't got a friend ain't no use at all . . . and there ain't no love
at all without a song."
The Psalmist is our comfort the Poet is our inspiration.
The Dramatist puts life under a microscope for us so that
we can in a small way understand ourselves and life more
fully. Similarly the Painter in a different medium brings us
a concept of man and his world that pressed back the barriers
of the finite mind.
The Arts arc essentially one each as one facet of a dia-
mond reflecting the light of life. If you would understand a
people or a period study the art which they produced. The
arts of any era are a barometer of the times expressing the
mores and thinking of its people. .
As the fine arts transcend more mundane forms of ex
pression so does our understanding and appreciation of the
arts bring us nearer to an understanding and appreciation
of the eternal verities. Richard von Ende.
Study and Music
The study of music may follow many different veins
Just a few of these are: Music theory music history applied
music and music education. Whatever particular field of
music one may wish to study lie can find courses in our
music department which will interest him. McMurry is very
fortunate in having such a well-rounded music program
Few schools the size of McMurry and not too many larger
schools enjoy as strong a music department as does Me
Murry. The key to this strength lies in the members of our
music faculty.
Each member of our music faculty is in himself a well-
rounded person who enjoys and understands all phases and
types of music. These instructors realize that though for-
mal training is a very important part of one's education
practical experience is a vital factor in one's success in a
career in music.
Realizing this they are able to give each student of
music a wide variety of practical experience and thus turn
out well-rounded musicians not narrow-minded musical
"snobs."
Punctuality!
Punctuality is one of the most likable traits a person
can have and many people in this school including this
writer need to stop and remember this at times. It has got-
ten to be a habit with several of us to come in fifteen or
twenty minutes late to almost every class we attend. Few
people realize the hardship that this tardiness causes to every-
one in the class.
First of all it causes hardships on the teachers when
students come in after the class has already begun. It causes
ain interruption for the instructor who is trying to give a les-
son as well as for the other students who are trying to lis-
ten to what is being said. However students aren't the only
ones who are late. Many teachers are also guilty of this fault
thus making it a little discouraging for those students who
have made an effort to be on time.
There's no reason why all of us can't make a little more
effort to be at class on time. It just means perhaps setting
the alarm clock a bit earlier or rushing a little more each
morning. I think if we would all try to be punctual we'd
find that we would benefit a lot more from our classes. Let's
try and see OK? Sharon Hughes.

I would like to share with you
a devotional that I first heard at
Mt. Scqouyah in 1952. It speaks
to each of us.
"Tangled in nets nets of con-
fusion turmoil and strife. If we
could only free ourselves from
these tangles. How long have we
been caught in the mad rush of
things? How long have we been
drowning ourselves in useless
thoughts and actions? How long
nave we been yearning for peace
peace peace? It seems as if it
has been and eternity and that
it win never end- but all is- not
lost discovery is near at hand.
Make an imaginative picture
now of the beach at Galilee with
its green hills and before vou
the blue blue sea. You are alone.
You are not in a hurry. You are
not rushing to class or to fulfill an
engagement. Now imagine that
Jesus overtakes you and slips his
hand into the crook ox your elbow
and walks along with you. You
are silent for a while betaus
you know that He is reading your
thoughts and you are ot verv
proud of them. "In a few minutes
tnougn you are telling him your
story how very much vou have
failed to live the very best But
in a very short space of time a
little soot of neace and calm fills
your heart because He talks to
you. He believes in what you
may become and what you are
now however grievously you
have failed. Suddenly there is an
exultant confidence within your
heart saying: I can. I know I can
become the kind of person I want
to be either a neaceful heart and
mind.'
That is Christianity. That mn
be the discovery that will lend
you out of the depths of con-
fusion turmoil and strife to the
mountain top of a peaceful heart
and have prepared for anv sinrm "

Well I gues you already know the big news this week.
The McMurry Collitch Band is leaving today over some of the
more romantic spots in the Northwest Texas Conference.
This little jaunt is being sponsored by Rotary International
as their project for the Rotary Convention in London. We
of the band feel jittery (nacherly) . This is the biggest deal
we've ever had. The mainsprings behind our trip were Ed
Stewart .Walter Jarrett (Judy's dad) and several more too
numerous to name. Without these men the trip would have
fallen through many times. I'll speak for the rest of the
band Prof. Bynum and myself and try to express our grati-
tude to these men by saying a simple "Thanks." I'm too as-
tounded to say anything else.
If any of you should like to follow the trip in the paper
there will be several articles in the Reporter-News. They
will be sent back by the band every day. Be a lookin' fer it.
I will miss all of you in the Call the next two weeks; I
hope a few of you miss the Call.
In spite of the trip
Be it ever so homely
There's no place like McMurry.

Everybody has been talking
about the band lately so all that
.we will say in that aeain the
freshman class proves that it
ranks high. There are three fresh-
men making the trip. Carolyn
Beckham. Abilene: Dorothy Kins.
Throckmorton; and Wanda Steele
Midland.
Wedding bells rang March 4 for
Martin Coleman of Abilene and
Darlene Mathis. Coleman is a
freshman here.
Faith Simpson of Hamlin is
sporting a ring now. She is en
gaged to sophomore Lee Bowden.
Betty Shewbert was hostess to
the Chanters while they were in
Lubbock during tour. The Chan-
ters all enjoyed an evening of
relaxing TV and chat.
Here is an important word to
.the new freshmen and the new
students on the Reservation. The
publicity office still needs pub-
liicty forms to be filled out.
These are a great deal of help
to the office. If you haven't filled
out one of these forms for the
publicity office please do.

WELCOME TO OUR CAMPUS
This is a belated welcome to all of McMurry 's many fine
friends who are attending the Willson Lectures. It certainly
is nice to have you on the campus and we hope that you have
enjoyed your stay here with us.
The Lectures are eagerly looked forward to each year
as it gives us a chance to show off our Reservation to you.
We sincerely hope that you like our campus and that you
are sending us some students from your community for next
fall.
Again we say "Glad to have you on our campus."
FOOTBALL PRACTICE
The Indians started spring training last Monday and it
sure does give you that ole' fever. The boys are showing lots
of spirit and drive and it looks like we're going to have an-
other team that we can all be proud of.
We'll take this opportunity to welcome Coach Cox to
the campus and also to wish him all the luck in. the world in
his job here on the Reservation. To the coach we say "if
there is anything we can help you with just let us know."
GOLF AND TRACK TEAMS
Some other Indian teams that will be seeing some ac-
tion real soon are the golf team and the track team. We wish
both of these teams the best of luck in their coming battles.
Interested in some acting? Then come out next week
and try out for the spring production that will be presented
May 5-7. Maurice Pullig is the director and the try-outs will
begin sometime next week. Why not try your hand at the
acting profession?
