Address From President Wiggins The tempo of American life has been drastically accelerated during the past decade. This fact has wielded a powerful influence upon all educational institutions.

The problems of individual and social adjustment have become increasingly intricate and force a very careful study of the educative processes. The College of Mines and Metallurgy very definitely recognizes the challenge of this era and it earnestly seeks to provide a program which will best enable its student population to meet new demands in living. The College deeply appreciates you and is dedicated to the task of serving you. To this end it seeks your loyal support for all of its activities.

Very sincerely yours,

President

JOH N WI LLiAM KI DO, E. E. Dean of Mining, Metallurgy,

Address

and Science

From Dean Kidd

The session of 1935 to 1936 has marked an improvement in the physical plant at the College which is undoubtedly beneficial to all of the College departments.

Some of the major items along this line include the paving of the drives, additional improvements to our athletic plant, the completion of the lecture room to the Chemistry Building, and the near completion of the new quarters for the Engineering Department. In addition to these improvements we are anticipating the construction of a dormitory for women and one for men which we hope will be ready for use by the opening of the session in September of this year. We are also anticipating the construction as a part of the State Centennial Program of a very serviceable building which is to become a Museum - not only for the College of Mines and Metallurgy, but for EI Paso and the West Texas territory.

Representatives of business concerns are reporting improvements in business and it is gratifying to know that our engineering graduates are practically all employed in their chosen field. These are more frequent inquiries for men in engineering lines than have been for' the past several years. Our engineering enrollment for the past year has shown a remarkable increase. With the completion of our new engineering building our facilities for the care and training of engineering students will be far better than we have ever had since the Institution first opened.

We are optimistic regarding the future of the Institution and of the Engineering Department.

Sincerely,

Dean of Mining, Metallurgy and Science.

CHARLES

ALEXANDER

PUCKETT, M. A.

Address From Dean Puckett The College has made much progress during 1935-1936. Many improvements have been completed and many more have been planned for the coming year.

Thus the institution goes forward to a brighter future.

ADDRESS FROM DR. KNAPP Chairman Faculty Committee on Athletics Some noteworthy achievements have been accomplished during the current athletic season.

This is the first year in which the College of Mines engaged in all of its intercollegiate contests as a member of the Border Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.

Membership in a recognized conference is of vital importance to the College.

The scope of our athletic program, both collegiate and intramural has been widened. Basketball, tennis, and track have been inaugurated this year as intercollegiate sports. Freshman football and basketball teams have been maintained, and more interest in intramural athletics has been shown.

In the future we may expect stronger teams in football and in the newly inaugurated sports, and the continued expansion of the Intramural and Intercollegiate program.

In conclusion we wish to thank the loyal students and friends of the College who have supported us during the period of our "growing pains" and whose help is absolutely essential to the success of the Athletic program of the College.

E. J. KNAPP, Chairman Faculty Committee on Athletics

YELL LEADERS

George Bernhardt

Leonard Chant

Marvin Britton

In the face of disappointing scores and a disastrous season, Leonard Chant and George Bernhardt and Marvin Britton, our yell leaders, have done their job well in cheer-leading for teams always losing.

Also they faced a seemingly dead-headed student body which, disgusted with the teams, was either not present at the games to lend support or if there would not yell. Next year the teams and yell leaders should be more deserving of attention and support.

We take our hats off, Big Three. You did a mighty fine job. You deserve praise ... and even that seems inadequate to gratify your faithful service.

FOOTBALL MANAGER The job of football manager is a thankless one, but J. B. Billard, cheerful, willing, and hard working, proved himself a hustler and a very efficient manager. The team appreciated his tip-top cooperation and hated to see him go to the Texas University this last semester.

J. B. BILLARD Football Manager

MACK SAXON Coach Coach Saxon has been with the Miners six years, and as head coach has made a creditable showing on the football field.

This season Mack worked under a handicap owing to the enforcement of the Border Conference rules.

Many good men were unable to participate in this season's games, who could have made a creditable showing. There was no new material brought in, which handicapped his already small squad. Although with many of his lettermen returning and some new men, we know Mack can mold us a good team with a winning season.

HARRY PHILLIPS Assistant Coach Harry, our line coach is noted for the plunging and fighting spirit that he puts into his line.

We thought that we were going to lose Harry to Pampa High School this year, but Mines was lucky enough to keep him. Coach Saxon would also have felt the loss as they have fought and played hard the last six years.

Harry's ability to take what looked like a hopelessly green line out on the practice field and whip them into a formidable line has been a Mucker tradition.

FRANK ASHLEY (Full Back) Frank, a transfer from Paris Junior College, was that powerful plunging Full Back who drove repeatedly through the opposition's forward wall for long gains. He is exceptionally fleet of foot for a 190 lb. man and was the Muckers' most consistent ground gainer.

LIONEL ANDREWS (End) "Red," playing his first year on the 'varsity, turned in a splendid performance each game at end position, and appears to be one of the best players ever to don a Mucker uniform. He was the only Miner to make the Ali-ConFerence team. With two more seasons to go Red will probably be the sensation of the Border Conference and follow in the footsteps of his famous cousin, J. B.

EUGENE JORDAN (Tackle) This was Gene's first year at Mines.

He made a creditable showing at tackle, and with his weight gives promise of being a valuable asset to the team next year.

CLARENCE THOMAS (Guard) "Dyna" was truly a barrel of dynamite.

He was a steady, dependable player who repeatedly broke up the opposition's plays. As a mainstay Dyna can't be beat.

FRANK KIRBY-SMITH (Tackle) Kirby, "The Ysleta Flash," was back on the squad again this year and proved to be a very capable and aggressive tackle. He is good for another season yet.

CODY FONDREN (Quarterback) Cody came out from Lawton, Oklahoma, in 1934 with Marvin Adkins. He was considerably handicapped by a "trick knee" this season which prevented him from turning in his usual stellar performance, but despite this, he proved a very capable signal caller.

This was the last season for the 138 lb. "mighty-mite."

CARL IVEY (Center) Carl got married on us this year, but nevertheless he was the same old dependable center, who strongly fortified the middle of the Mucker forward wall.

We hope he will be back with us again next year.

LEE BARNETT (Tackle) Lee was unable to play all of the games as a result of a re-injury to his k~ee; however, he was in there scrappmg when able to play, and is deserving of much praise.

West Texas State Teachers Game

Simmons Game

Simmon Gal11

RICHARD HOURIGAN (Full Back) "The Jumping Jack" from N. Y. U. was a very consistent Full Back who gained many yards by his peculiar style of running which frequently baffled his opponents.

BOB FOLK (Center) An EI Paso boy, who played his first year of football this season. He proved a capable substitute for Carl Ivey at center and should be very beneficial to Miner's teams in the future.

JACK PEDEN (Quarterback) Jack was just a "rookie" this year and was a little nervous when calling the signals during a game. During practice sessions, however, he starred, and with a little more experience should make a crackerjack field general.

L. O. PAGE (Back)

"Pesty" did most of the kicking for Mines this season, and will be especially remembered for his last minute field-goal in the Silver City Teachers' game which was responsible for the Muckers' only 1935 victory.

MARVIN ADKINS lEnd and Halfback) Marvin was voted the "most valuable player" this year and really earned the coveted honor. He played every minute of every game, and was the spark plug of the team. His sensational pass receiving, ball toting, and offensive and ,defensive end play was the sensation of the season. He will be sorely missed next year.

RESUME OF THE 1935 FOOTBALL

SEASON

NEW MEXICO U.-MINES Mines opened the season in Albuquerque, September 28, with the New Mexico Lobos. The Miners put up a hard fight against the more powerful Lobos, and finally throwing caution to the winds, played wide open football which donated the Lobos a couple of touchdowns with the final score being 20-0 against us.

ST. MARY'S-M

IN ES

The Miners' first home game, October 5th, opened against the St. Mary's Rattlers of San Antonio, who sought revenge from their stinging defeat the year before, and defeated the green Mines team by a 38-0 count.

N. M. M. I.-MINES The Miners again journeyed into New Mexico to play the New Mexico Military Institute, where Dick Hourigan raced across the goal line for the Miners' first touchdown of the season, but despite this they came out on the light end of a 13-6 score, after a stubbornly fought battle.

SUL ROSS-MINES The Sui Ross-Mines game, originally scheduled for EI Paso, was changed to Marfa for the fair being held there at that time. With 250 of the student body accompanying them, the Muckers turned in their best performance up to date, but lost to the Lobos, 19-7. Red Andrews thrilled the crowd by returning the opening kick-off deep into the Lobo territory only to be downed by the lone opponent between him and the goal. Cody Fondren, flashy little quarterback for the Muckers, galloped across in loMeclosing minutes of the game for the lone touchdown. Page converted his kick.

W. T. S. T. C.-MINES The West Texas State Teachers' College Buffaloes stampeded on the Kidd Field to score two touchdowns in the first few minutes of play, but their stampede was shortlived as the gallant Muckers held their heavier opponents on even terms the remainder of the game, but were unable to push over a counter. The game ended 10-0, Buffaloes.

TEMPE-MINES

Phoenix This time the Muckers traveled to Phoenix for an Armistice Day contest with the Tempe Teachers' Bulldogs. The Miners made more first downs, and outplayed the Bulldogs throughout the game, but the breaks were against them and they wound up on the short end of a 14-0 score.

SILVER CITY-MINES The Mines tangled with the Silver City Teachers on "M" Day, which proved to be for the Muckers; for on this date the Orange and White shook off that losing jinx which them and won the game in the last few minutes by virtue of "Pesty" Page's field goal from line. You can imagine the celebration after the game. The count was 9-7, our first and the season.

a lucky day had' hold of the 30-yard only win of

HARDIN-SIMMONS-MINES This was "homecoming day" and the 21st anniversary of the Mines which was celebrated by a mammoth barbecue on the tennis courts before the game. The Muckers went out on the gridiron determined to win, but were hopelessly outclassed by the smooth working Cowboy machine and suffered one of the worst defeats in the history of the college, a 46-0 loss, which was sweet revenge for the Cowboys who had gone down in defeat at the hands of the Muckers the previous year.

NEW MEXICO AGGIES-MINES On Thanksgiving Day, the Muckers went to the State College to renew the annual Turkey Day classic between the two schools. It was the last game of the season for the Miners who were determined to win and who by all rights should have. They clearly outplayed the Aggies during the entire game, scored more first downs, gained more ground on passes and running attacks, and were constantly pounding at the Aggies' goal line, but again the breaks were against them, and the Aggies managed to eke out a fluke victory of 7-0. The Silver City Teachers whom the Muckers had defeated had held the Aggies to a scoreless tie the preceding week.

This game rang down the curtain on a most disastrous football season for the Mines, but a school never had a pluckier, more willing, or harder fighting team than did the Texas College of Mines during the 1935 football season.

EDITOR'S MESSAGE With the inauguration of the new staff came a larger and more newspaperish PROSPECTOR. There is a certain gratification in publishing a worthwhile newspaper which is in tempo with the progressive spirit which now distinguishes the College of Mines and Metallurgy.

The staff has tried to be unbiased and fair. Personal feelings and stupid narrowmindedness have no place in any editorial staff.

Next year a weekly shall blossom forth. We look backward upon the past year with pride as we look forward to the coming year with an anxious desire to do better.

The past session has witnessed another forward step in the growth of student activities at the College of Mines. The new constitution adopted by the Students' Association in the spring of 1934 authorized and directed the establishment of a Publications Board to be incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas. To fulfill this provision of the constitution a charter was obtained at the beginning of the fall semester. The corporation is managed by a board of eight directors in accordance with Article IV, Section 8 of the new constitution.

The function of the board is to guide and coordinate the activities of the student publicationsat present The Prospector and The Flowsheet. During the past session most of the board's time has been devoted to orientation relative to definite policies for the future. It is a pleasure to report that very satisfactory progress has been made towards this gcal and we are confident that the contributions made in this program this year will form the basis for more elaborate Publications next session.

Alpha Phi Omega is the oldest organization of any class on the campus of the Texas College of Mines. The order was founded in the Spring of 1919 and has been active ever since.

In student activities, the reputation of the A. P. O. speaks for itself in that a majority of student offices have been and are now held by members of this Fraternity.

Although primarily for closer contact for its members with the engineering world, the social program has never been neglected. A formal dance each spring and informal gatherings lends the social atmosphere necessary for an organization of this type.

The Omega Phi Delta sorority had a very active year which they initiated with a formal tea in September in honor of women students and faculty members of the College.

During the fall and the Christmas holiday season, the members were honored by various delightful affairs at which patronesses and sponsors were hostesses. The Christmas season was marked by the sorority's own annual dance and luncheon.

February was marked by a pledge dinner and service; March 18 was the date for celebration of Founder's Day. The pledges honored the members in April with a spring luncheon.

The year was climaxed by the anticipated Spring Formal which is a tradition in the College of Mines social life. This affair took place in Holliday Hall, May 9.

The sorority, the oldest on the campus, has as its sponsor Mrs. Mary K. Quinn; its patronesses are Mrs. D. M. Wiggins, Mrs. R. D. Lorenz, Mrs. Kenneth MacCallum who is also the founder, Mrs. Frances Stevens, and Mrs. J. W. Kidd.

In January the following pledges were named: Faith Foster Beth King Louise Maxon Elizabeth Mackin

Harriett Morris Dorothy Hoard Virginia Stansbury Jane Loomis

Rachel Bickley Keith Teague Nancy Lackland

The second semester involved even more activity on the part of members and pledges along social lines and in school affairs. The pledges entertained members with a luncheon at Hotel Paso del Norte on March 14 and were entertained by members with a dinner on April 3 which was followed by formal initiation of pledges at the home of Tess Herlin. In addition, two buffet suppers were given by the patronesses and the sponsor. The annual Formal Spring Dinner on May 9 climaxed all social events of the year.

As concerns school activities, the sorority won in the annual Flowsheet election when Frances Hoard was voted the Most Beautiful Co-ed, Kitty Knox the Most Popular Co-ed, and Rachel Bickley "All-Mines" Girl. In the Co-ed election, Louise Maxon was voted vice-president of the Co-ed Association. Then, too, the members took an active part in the school carnival and in the intramural basketball games.

As we look back over the year's program of the College Players, we cannot help but notice what a successful, yet a different year it has been. The emphasis of dramatic study has been laid chiefly upon contests and one-act plays, and through the able assistance and under the excellent directing of the Clubs sponsor, Mrs. W. H. Ball, the College Players have won not only city but state-wide renown. The most outstanding one-act plays are those which have been produced for the Drama Study Club, the Red Cross Campaign, the Texas Centennial organization, the State Parent-Teachers' Association, William Beaumont Hospital, EI Paso High School, and the Valley Woman's Club. Mrs. Ball has received letters of appreciation and congratulation not only from members of the audience but from two authors of plays she has produced-Paul Green, and the author of "Martha Washington Returns." " To climax such a successful year, we find the crowning glory in the recognition received from the production of The Lords W;iII," by Paul Green. The cast, which included Harold Heisel, Maurine Howell, and Zora Kilgore, won first place in the city Chancel Guild Play Contest; Maurine Howell won first place as best actress and Zora Kilgore second pl~ce. In April this play was taken to Houston and entered in the State Intercollegiate One-Act Play contest, winning thIrd place; Maurine Howell received the recognition of best character actress. As a final, shining example of the interest and capability shown by the College Players' director and sponsor, she has obtained for EI Paso the recognition of being host city to the State Intercollegiate contest next year.

Several years ago there was organized on the campus a Club called "Wranglers," members of which gathered to discuss topics of interest. In February, 1935, Wranglers joined the national network of International Relations Clubs.

The International Relations Clubs are groups of students organized under the auspices of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, in universities, colleges, and normal schools for the study and discussion of International Relations.

There are branches all over the United States and abroad. Twice a year the Carnegie Institute sends to each of the clubs a number of the best and most up-to-date books on world affairs, and each month sends out in pamphlet form summaries of current happenings throughout the world.

Each year there are Regional Conferences of International Relations Clubs. This year three members of our branch were sent to the Regional Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico: Ruth Stansbury, Louis Hawley, and Pete Schuyler.

Phi Tau Kappa, organized during the spring of 1935 for the purpose of promoting forum studies of current economic questions and for the purpose of acquainting, through the means of speakers from EI Paso business firms, the members with actual commercial problems, has this year continued to grow and develop.

Membership in the organization is limited to students enrolled as majors and minors in the Department of Economics and Business Administration; but non-members who indicate an interest in the subject matter are from time to time invited to attend the meetings of the club.

The club has not overlooked the importance of social functions this year, and by next year members hope to hold regular social meetings in addition to their regular business assemblies. Prominent speakers on subjects in which Phi Tau Kappa members are interested are already being contacted for club meetings for next year.

"Rotten," answered Death gloomily, "Come have some beer with me and we'll chat."

So they went to a joint around the corner and sat at a table crunching pretzels. drinking beer, and talking.

Until they passed out ... and dreamed .. , .

The bartender slushed a bucket at water on Lite and Death. This awakened them.

"Boy, I feel fine," said Death cheerily to Life. "How do you feel, l.ile?"

"No, thank you, Death. I feel too good. Adios."

THE BOOTING OF DAN McSTEW I. A bunch of the boys was whoopin' it up in the Poison Pup Saloon.

The guy at the pianola box was pumpin' a rag time tune. ~p at the free lunch counter stood ravenous Dan McStew, While watch in' him without buyin' a drink Was the bartender known as Lew. II. Dan ~tumbled across the barroom floor and leaned against the lunch.

Herrmg and pretzels and limburg cheese, Ye Gods, but that man could munch.

Then I got to figurin' what he'd do to a plate of Irish stew And I turned my head, and there watch in' him Was the bartender known as Lew. III. Then I ducked my head as the cafe shook and two men hit the floor.

A night owl hooted as one was booted clean out through the open door.

Flat on his nose in the arctic snows lay ravenous Dan McStew While the baby who rushed him and gave him the boot Was the bartender known as Lew.

• • • COCKTAIL A LA ZILCH They laughed when I began mixing this one, but they died laughing when they drank it. Don't spill any of it, it eats holes in the rugs: Take a dozen oranges, a quart of grape juice, the yolks of three eggs (don't bother to see if they are rotten) well beaten, and enough ginger ale to cut it to the required you know what.

Then after mixng this stuff together in the bathtub or whatever is nearestadd about a pint of creme de menthe and put it in the ice box until it reaches a temperature of exactly 41 degrees. Then it is ready.

If you are wondering what it is ready for, and have followed directions, oh, so closely, I'll tell you: Take the entire junk and pour it down the sink or down an academ's throat.

• • • GIVE US LIGHT One summer Adelbrain, our country's pride de luxe, went to the city. How he got there is nobody's business. He was just a simple country lad from EI Paso, alone in the great metropolis.

He was on Broadway. He felt tired, and as he leaned against the lamp post, he felt it shake. He jumped away like a man in danger of death.

A red-faced, flat-footed, sympathetic copper spoke: "That thing won't hurt you, sonny. It's too light."

• • • LIKE WHAT? Professor Seagar was trying to make his geology class understand wh~t a volcano looked like. In reviewing the lesson, he deftly drew o~ the' black~oard hl~ own conception of a flaming mountain, using colored crayons with extraordmary bright effect.

"What is it?" he asked the awe-struck class. .

The classroom was stilled with the silent perplexity of the pseudo geologists.

"Well what does it look like?" Dr. Seagar pursued in condescending tones.

Ben Fino, sitting on the second row, was the most courageous. Soberly, he answered. "It looks like hell, doc."

M

WORDS WE'D LIKE TO HEAR "I'm not capable enough for this Student Association position. Give it to that promising academ."

"Give us no more Muck in the PROSPECTOR." "No, I don't think I'll go see my girl Saturday night. I'm going to study."

"Gosh, I love that professor."

"I'm not editing the paper or annual for money. I'm out for glory, for the Alma Mater."

"We announce the extinction of final examinations."

• • • THE ROWDY ROW When George Bernhardt was a shiftless brat, he was mean. He delighted in the rough and tumble sort of play. But he was smart. The night he had recently been promoted to the sixth grade, his father asked him: "How do you like your new class, George? Tell me about it."

"The teacher," replied George, with a brattish smirk, "has seated all the tough kids in the back of the room, pop, and what do you suppose?"

"What?"

"I sit in the very last row," was the reply.

• • • TRAFFIC

~OLlTENESS

In heavy traffic to be polite is an obsolete American virtue. Every American traffic jam is f1avored with bitter bombardments of mamma-what-does-he-mean-bythat expressions.

In Scotland traffic jams are plentiful ... they are so cheap.

In London traffic jams are remarkably amusing and cussless. One London driver drew up, when he saw a pedestrian directly in his way, and leaned over and very, very politely inquired: "I say, old chap, may I awsk what are your immediate plans?"

• • • TH E COLOR ANGLE "That blue is so pretty and majestic. Like the ocean, like the sky. Doesn't it contrast my dress wonderfully?"

"Yes, madam, and that green reminds one of spring, when the grass is dewcoated and the birds chirp pertly, doesn't it?"

"The yellow looks like the leaves in autumn. I have always liked yellow."

"The sun is shining through the red one. Reminds one of a splendrous sunset on the EI Paso desert, does it not, madam?"

"Yes, and so vividly. The orange one is just like the Southwestern sky bathed in the rays of the sinking sun on Saturday. Do they make it in all colors now?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"They are so lovely! Everyone fascinates me. Could I take one of each?"

"Certainly, madam. Say, Pete, check the water and tires while I fill this lady's car with gas."

"Mine," wrote John O. Nigra, the Lid-Offer, to his sweetheart in California, "is a flaming super-passion, the real tender world-shaking thing that gets you by the heartstrings; raw, elemental throbs that grip and clap and quiver and clutch. You have never before conceived that such soul-cometting love could live throughout all the ages."

And she wrote back sadly, "You are getting tired of me. I miss the lyrical ecstasy of your earlier letters. Why do you write so formally, so coldly? I no longer stir you. Goodbye."

Hilton Hotel

FAUX PAS When in San Diego, Henry Forbes went on a boat ride. It happened ... such things always happen, dammit ... that Henry, not quite intestinally fortified, was leaning over the rail in agony, seasick.

Some way, Henry succeeded in losing his balance. With a yell and a splash, he fell into the shark-infested waters.

A shark, fin swishing through the blue billowy waters, came up to Henry.

Henry saw the shark and closed his eyes, in prayerful mood.

The shark looked Henry over, swam around him, sniffed him. Then the shark swam away.

It was a man-eating shark.

An alert-looking young engineering student, named Hart Steele, was gingerly picking his way along the ties of a railroad, seemingly in search of something or someone.

"What are you looking for?" inquired a curious bystander.

"The president of this line," answered Hart.

"But you'll not find him here."

"Perhaps not, but I'm on his track."

One day Red Andrews went to eat at the Hilton. Finished, he arose from his table in the fashionable dining room and walked toward the door.

He was passing the house detective at the entrance when an expensive silver sugar bowl dropped from his bulging coat.
