Several pictures will be sent from Baker to a jury who will choose the best ones for the exhibit. Pictures which are entered are drawn in ink, pencil, water color, pastel, poster paint, or crayons. About 25 pictures were sent to the ex- hibit and 24 won gold stars in last year's exhibit.

C. is meeting at every school, and they are selecting them in alphabetical order starting with Allan. The topic for discussion centered around the proposed trip to the state meeting in Denton.

Baker Dramatists Aim For Banner The Heritage of Wimpole Street by Robert Knipe has been selected as the play to be given in the Interscholastic Dramatic Contest at U.J.H. The char- acters of the play are: Barrett-Donnie Tew, Arabel-Emily Ford, Henreitta- Betsy Burba, Robert Browning-Craig Hicketheir, and Jane-Glenda Rutledge. The play will be given March 25 at 4:30 in the U.J.H. Auditorium. THE DIVINE IN SPIRATION Inspiration . . . a penetrating thought deep within a soulg the communication by a divine influence. The old, ragged Bible lying on the corner table by the old easy chair has within its ruffled pages and frayed bind- ing the most inspiring words known. The Creation, the Resurrection, the Ser- mon On the Mount, the Golden Rule, the Ten Commandments, and many more inspirational passages from the Bible give us our rules of living, as well as knowledge of the ways of life many, many years before Christ. Church that we may attend on Sunday is a privilege for in some countries to- day the people must worship as their rulers command them. Our right to wor- ship as we please in any sanctuary and our right to ask the help of God in our time of need truly prove the inspiration impressed upon our forefathers long be- fore our time. The Wonderful words found on the Bible's pages surely must have penetrated their souls and influenced their lives to give the courage to jour- ney across strange waters and into un- known lands to fight and stand up for these rights. ' The power who puts the inspiration in these verses from the old, battered, and used Bible can shake the mountains, send the sun whirling out of its orbit, and even make a world perfect and peaceful. Student Council Activities On March 2, the Student Council met. Mr, Darnell spoke to the members about keeping the school clean. Baker has re- ceived two trash cans in the lunch room, which will help a great deal in keeping our lunchroom clean. A committee of five people was chosen to inspect the rooms. One person each from grades five through nine was chosen for this job. They are Cherie Hull-fifth grade, Lana'Becker-sixth grade, Pat Hugland -seventh grade, Glenn Noble-eighth grade, and Virgil Weiss-ninth grade.
