WE OF THE MOUNDBUILDER staff wish to dedi­ cate the 1951 Moundbuilder to our President, ALVIN W. MURRAY. Dr. Murray with his far-sightedness, his eloquence, his determination and his Building Pro­ gram has lead us through one of the greatest crises in the history of Southwestern College. We salute you, President Murray, in your struggle for a Greater Southwestern.

HANGES IN OUR SOUTHWESTERN COLLEGE campus have been many

this 1950-51 school year. September saw the final razing of old North Hall and the excavation for two new buildings. November saw cornerstones laid for Moss­ man Hall of Science and Memorial Library in a single ceremony. January saw the let­ ting of contracts for a new Richardson ~all. May sees the science hall nearing com ­ pletion, the library steadily going up; and hears the gangs of men at work at the top of the "77" steps. Next September? Our dream campus will be even nearer a reality. The date of April 16, 1950, is defini tely linked with the present.

Without it

and the fire that destroyed Richardson Hall, we would not have run all over the cam­ pus to attend classes. Our chapel and assembly would have been held in the gymnasium. We wouldn't have seen our plays in Music Hall. Yet these inconveniences we have endured will soon be gone. We look forward to the new Southwestern . We will look back on the old school with nostalgic hearts. But always-Southwesten College is looking to the future.

These scenes exemplify the Moundbuilder spirit of:

Learning to live together.

Charging ahead

Critically evaluating knowledge

Reaching always u.pward

DEAN WILLIAM (BILL) MONYPENY

To Dean Monypeny, sincere and loyal Southwesterner, friend and advisor of the students, we say "Keep up the good work!"

MRS. MILDRED SKINNER, Counselor of Women, clothing teacher, and "Complaint Bureau" all rolled into one, is a very capable person. Her office is usually packed with students, housemothers, arid others seeking help. We salute Mrs. Skinner with her un­ derstanding, her patience, and her never­ failing aid in time of need.

WILLIAM CLOUD, B}ll to most of us, is in his first year as Counselor of Men. We sincerely hope that he hasn't gotten dis­ couraged and will be back in this ·position again next year. A Southwestern graduate, Bill shows that he has "what it takes" so we say "Good Luck, Bill, and power to you!"

Always friendly, always smiling, encouraging the stu­ dents to come to them for help--these phrases charac­ terize the attitude that the Southwestern faculty mem­ bers take in relationship to th eir students. Southwestern didn't get its reputation for good will and friendliness from the student body alone. Every teacher in the entire college has the admiration and respect of the students for this very reason . On our campus, every faculty member is a friend of the students. We see none of the remembering students by a number rather than by name that is so customary in other colleges. Southwestern students have the op­ portunity to learn from the best instructors in every field and to learn the good times and comradeship that' can be shared by faculty and students alike_

These men pictured below opera te hoth behind and in front of the scenes. Without the admin­ istrative paper work and th e decisions necessary in the offi ces of the Dean and the Registrar, life at Southweste rn College would not flow so smoo thly.

T he annual Milk Bucket game be­

tween Kappa Rho and Pi Epsilon Pi

was an upset this year with the Kap­

pa R ho winning over a favored Pi

Ep tcam. Wes Buller coached the

winning team and Frank Newman

was the star performer for the Kappa

Rho. The Milk Bucket game was

started in 1948 and has since become

an annual event. This game in which

the faculty serve as cheerleaders and

janitors is a source of fun for every­

one.

The Jinx Janes did it again! They won the Cream Can game, of course. Played during the half at the Milk Bucket game, the battle between KK's and Jinx Janes for the Cream Can is just as spirited as the Milk Bucket game itself.
