My sympathy was aroused and 1 asked him why he carried such a burden. He then began to speak and told me the fol- lowing: “l am Plutarch’s oldest servant. He has just had a Spring cleaning and has sent me to the front with this collection of the “Lives of Great Persons.” The German soldiers pay him well for true material to use as ammunition”. I was very much surprised at his next remark for he said they were the lives of the Faculty of Daniel Baker College. While the old man rested I read the following sketches: Marion Dargan Once upon a midnight dreary while Atlas was wearily supporting the globe, he was almost overcome by a sudden added weight to his burden. He sent a wireless to Neptune and was informed that a human being had just fallen from Mars into the vicinity of New “ Yawk”; and that he had sprung full grown from the pages of a “Munro’s Source Book” just before his fall. Mr. Atlas’ fear subsided and he settled down again to his job. Thus we leave Mr. Atlas in peace and follow the brilliant career of this extraordinary being. It is said that he discovered many historical facts and had two thous- and stenographers under his dictation at one time. He once spent the Summer in the Adirondacks and there he communed with the twelve gods and god- desses. They told him of the Garden of Eden and the city of Utopia, situated near the geographical center of the Lone Star State. They told of a college composed of fair maidens and gallant youths that was perishing away in ignorance for the want of an historical instructor such as he. Being very tender hearted he wept copious tears that almost ruined his complexion, mount- ed his steed Pergasus and went thither as a pedagogue. T. H. Hart He was born at some point on the Plane of Geometry. History does not record much of his early life, but he seems to have been a “Nimrod” at an early age. Once while out hunting with Teddy Roosevelt, he slew a strange wild animal called an algebra and brought it home for his mother to make a (Pi) of. As soon as he learned that the earth was flat and was supported by Atlas, he began walking around on his tip-toes to diminish the weight of Atlas’ load. Poor man ! Now he has a burden far heavier to bear than Atlas, namely the Presidency of the Athletic Council. So incumbered is he that he is not able to rise from his chair to call the Council together. TUT TRAIL 1916 - 11 v THE TRAIL 916 and teased them, thereby making himself an object of fear and wonder among them; on the other hand these same deeds were the cause of many fights with the boys. The teacher was mean to him and he vowed an oath of vengeance which he stored away in his youthful heart for later years. Omitting the dark- est part of his school days we see him going with martial tread into the halls of Daniel Baker, armed with an A. B., to teach Latin and Greek. His time for revenge had come, and verily I say unto you, he took advantage of it. Often he made many poor Freshmen deny that their brains were ever intro- duced to a Latin Grammar,—yea, they often denied that they had a brain— just to please him. Outside of school hours he entertains a certain lady friend upon whom he has been exercising the arts of persuasion for several years. It is feared that he uses a Latin text in his persuasions, hence the lack of visi- ble success. It is likely that this man will never “grow up” for it was only a few days from the present writing that he was seen throwing stones at his mother in the back yard. Every time she looked up he would dodge behind the fence. Horace Bullc was also a product of Arkansas. He manifested his first symptoms of becoming a chemist when he was a mere child by desiring to know what was in castor oil. Also, when he was told that it was gravity that made him fall down, be became very angry and said he didn’t see why gravity didn’t mind his own business. After many long years of toil and tribulation we find Mr. Van a professor in Daniel Baker. He has a veritable Charlie-Chap- lin-like-disposition, in spite of the burden of trying to teach Physiography students how to predict the weather in West Texas and trying to work out the problem of making money out of the Co-op. Mrs. Morris had an ordinary childhood and married when she was very young. After she became an Art teacher she established herself in Daniel Baker. When she lived in the Dormitory she was very popular with the girls. She has been known to help construct great white dummies to take down stairs to scare the matron. She used to enjoy painting and perhaps she does yet. David was a born musician ; his earliest recollection was a piano stool. He has been safely to Europe and is now back in native Texas, where he struggles with a few choice genuises of the rising generation, trying to instill in them his conceptions of music. At any time he can prop himself back and give you anything from Bach on down through the ages to the modern rag- time, with the greatest ease. If he contracts a head-ache or a nervous chill from the exertions of teaching, he repairs to his home, a few miles distant, for a holiday. Between times his attention is divided between the “oldish” young ladies, and keeping up with his dog, Dammit, in which he finds great solace. H. B.

Phillips Brownwood, Texas HISTORY OF THE JUNIOR CLASS When Eno, Maud and Maudie came together the greatest triumvirate of all the ages was formed. It seems that Eno is the master mind among them, and the others furnish the wealth and influence. But still this is not a per- fect triumvirate. Eno is so timid or afraid that when he comes to chapel he sits as one apart from all the rest. The organization seems to be of a secret nature, but we know that it is well organized, for there is never any discord. All these three have been in Daniel Baker since the beginning of time and even before that they all knew each other. Yet for some reason or other they do not seem especially attractive to each other. By mutual agreement they impose upon the preps whenever they feel the need of social exercise. But they are too strong minded to feel the need of such a stimulus. They can see the disadvan- tages and deny themselves the pleasure without putting up a sour grape story. We certainly do hope that this class will get to be more congenial with eaeh other. The cool atmosphere causes the rest of us some discomfort and we would appreciate the removal of it.

Wilkinson Frances Robertson Thirty-one i 4'4u THE TRAIL PfNiJk 9 6 HISTORY OF THE SOPHOMORE CLASS In considering the history of this learned and brilliant class of beings, better known as Sophomores, it might be well to give a short sketch of each individual. To begin with we are all very proud of Ted. Among many other things he has a great ability for baseball and football. In addition to this we have noticed that Mr. Anderson seems to have a fondness for Latin and for girls of Senior classes. It is rather difficult to find anything on Will Cochran because he is so silent and reserved, but it. is a well established fact that hi is a good mind reader. “Sophomore” means unsophisticated, and Serena Black, who is an authority on the subject, says Cochran is a true Sophomore. Another to add distinction and glory to our class is Jim, “he of the White Hair,” or “Ivory,” or “Cotton”. He not only has success on the football and baseball field but it is rumored that he has won the heart of a fair Fresh- man maiden. The next to be considered is little Mac, an old standby of the Sophs. One of the most remarkable things about Malcolm is his ability to lose his heart and then find it again right away. Whitson, or “Mistletoe” is another of the baseball stars. He has a very susceptible heart in spite of the fact that he is so wrapped up in scientific pursuits. Our class oan even boast of a Methodist preacher and the fattest man in college, all in the same personality. This honor falls to Brother Arthur Nichols, the Mellin’s Food baby. When I look at Henry Oxford I think of the quotation, “And stilj the wonder grew, that one small head could hold all he knew.” Henry has the honor of being the Editor-in-Chief of the Collegian and has filled that position with credit. Ralph was a good fellow, and a good football player and was reported to have some brains. We were all sorry to hear that he would have to change climate on account of his throat. Melvin, a Daniel Bakerite since prehistoric times, again made good in football, adding still more glory to our class. Harry Stapleton is another of the great men of our class. He is one of our best football players, and one of the “classiest” ladies men in College. His hard invincible heart has at last been captured by one of the gentler sex and Harry does nothing but mope day and night and dream of his “angel”. An- other piece of our good property is “Pike” Wilkinson, a very sedate and calm young man. The President of our class is Joe (Ducats) Turner, a star in football, track and English. Joe likes baseball and “Strawberries” and man- ages them. In spite of his kindly beaming face, it is said that he can be very stern and cruel if the occasion demands it. Soon after Christmas a law was passed in the Sophomore class that every member had to grow a mustache. Only one member was unable to comply with this law, but as she is a girl, was excused. Frances is the Soph girl, a lamb among wolves. After reading the above characteristics, can you wonder that words cannot be found by the Historian to describe this most extraordinary class? Thirty-three THE TRAIL 1916 'S' Thirty-Jive 1916 sss rE TRAIL 916 HISTORY OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS Since the history of to-day tends toward a “History of Culture” as advocated by Prof. Marion Dargan of New York, perhaps many of the histories of the twentieth century fail to record the innumerable glorious deeds of the Fresh- man Class of 1916. However, these deeds are worth knowing and the day will come when they are known over the entire globe. To even enumerate them would require many volumes, and since we are given only a short space here, 1 will mention only a few. To learn the very earliest history of the Freshman Class the reader is referred to those four pioneers, Short, Turner, Boone, and Reagan, who were the earliest settlers, in the southwest corner of the Chapel, of those that now occupy that ground. These four, seeing the advantages of being a Freshman, with wise foresight and judgment have refused every offer to become Seniors or Congressmen and have remained true to the old Freshman Class. In September of 1915 they were joined by a large number of others, which made their number larger than that of any other class in College. One day during the early Fall someone told them that they should organize. They did this, and to make their history more memorable they called the first as- sembly in one of the old history rooms of Daniel Baker College, where some of them, while they were still Preps, had learned to take history as well as to make it. Here, after many fiery orations and fierce invectives, J. C. Folliard was made President and Roy Boone Vice President. The Freshmen are unlike the Seniors who don’t know anything and know that they don’t know it, the Juniors who don’t know anything but don’t know they don’t know it, for they know something and know that they know it. The Freshmen have always won renown in athletics. In football they furnished a center and several backfield men for the scrub team, and these men by their fast playing came out as stars on the first team. In baseball they furnished two great twirlers of the sphere, Reagan and Blair. These remind one of Christy Matthewson and Walter Johnson in spite of the fact that Reagan is a little bashful and Blair is inclined to run angling. There is also Smith, the great outfielder, who looks and bats like Ty Cobb, and who likes brown so well that he sits in the sun on Austin Ave. to tan his complexion (?). Finally, if someone should happen down on the track and see 0. H. Turner running the mile they would surely think that it was Phiddippides doing the original Marathon. There is another thing that makes the Freshman Class more famous than either intellectual or physical strength could make it, and that is the pretty girls. There are so many of them that one is led to believe that if Venus ever went to College she must have been a Freshman. There is one other extraordinary thing that all Freshman do; and that is to come to Chapel every morning. There is one member whom I must mention especially, because he never fails to come to Chapel, and that is “Miss” Ewart Walker. THE TRAIL 9 6 ..fi;,: i .............

He is the friend of every student, and is respected both in the class room and on the athletic field, for besides being an excellent coach he is a good teacher. His qualifications as a coach are applicable also in the class-room. He sets an example and takes the part of every one when they are critised by outsiders. He can see their good qualities as well as their faults, and above all does everything within his power to aid each one and to develope them to their maximum efficiency. In short, he is some coach, and, although the record made by his teams this year may not be as good as it has been, his coaching ability is doubted by no one, and we are looking forward to great things under his coaching next year.

And they brought back the re- port that Rufus prepared mightily for an invasion and at once they were hanged to the steeple of their temple. And still other spies were sent out and they reported back saying: “Desolate is the land on the Hill and great is the fear of the people; and great is the dissention among the dwellers there- of and weak is their spirit.” These prophets were celebrated and placed on an high place, and the people bowed down before them and worshipped them. But Copas listened not to them and their sayings and entrenched him- self strongly against the enemy. And his power was great among the people and he assembled a mighty and powerful host. And in those days Rufus was beset on all sides by the armies of nations and was content to leave Copas in peace for a time. But he vowed a mighty oath and swore by all his troubles. And thus spake he unto his people. 1 will take my rest and 1 will consider in my dwelling place and I will prepare against the enemy and I will not break mine oath against them. Woe to the land that is beyond the railroad. They shall be likened unto a nation scat- tered and peeled from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trod- den down, whose land the herds have spoiled. And they shall be rebuked and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountain before the wind, and as a rolling thing before the whirlwind, and in that day their cities shall be forsaken and there shall be desolation in all the land. And he called unto him his captains and spake unto them saying: “On that day will I lift up an ensign upon the Hill and a trumpet shall be blown and I will go out with all my strength against the enemy. And all the people re- joiced for they loved their king. And when Copas heard these things he quaked exceedingly and led his men out of the North. And he pitched his camp on the border of the land and awaited the coming of Rufus. And Rufus came and the wind blew and the earth belched forth bits of sand and the sun frowned upon them. Then they came forth and smote each other and the slaughter was very great. Then finally Rufus began to prevail and gained a great victory unto himself. And the prophets of Copas smote themselves and there was weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, and paying of debts, and the people lamented greatly because of the great slaughter and desolation. Then they went up to their own coasts and said, “He hath not done us this great evil; it is not his hand that smote us; it was a chance that happened to us.” And they pro- claimed these things throughout the length and breadth of the land. And they swore that never again would they bet. And all the things that the prophets had prophesied to Rufus came to pass. For did Rufus not see the outcome in a vision and tell it to his people? Thus he fulfilled the oath he had sworn deeply against the Yellow Jackets. THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WORLD On that memorable Thanksgiving Day, in the year of our Lord 1492, there was staged in the country of Europe the greatest football game that the world had ever seen, or that it has since seen. On that day two mighty teams met and struggled for world honors, one team representing the best athletes of the Western Hemisphere, the other team representing the best athletes of the Eastern Hemisphere. On each team were men who had already gained world-wide fame, and have since gained fame both below and above the world. The day for the game was ideal. There was a slight breeze blowing from the west, sweeping gently across the great football field, lightly fanning the laces of the spectators and contestants alike. The day was such a pretty one that people came out from all over the world in their air ships, automobiles and steam boats, to view this viking contest. It has since been estimated that over forty million people saw the game. Those who had no room to see from the sidelines flew overhead and watched the game from their airships. The cheer leaders each had an immense cannon to fire at each good play, while each of the spectators had a few sticks of dynamite. With these fireworks and their voices they greeted the players with a great ovation as they trotted out upon the field. After a short and snappy signal drill the two teams lined up for play, the team from the Americas defending the South goal. After a five-round fight by the captains to decide which should kick, it was finally decided by the Pope that the Americans should kick. This team shall henceforth be called the Blues, while the team representing the Eastern Hemisphere shall be called the Reds. The Reds lined up to receive. The ball was pitched to the Blues to kick. The cry of the referee to his fellow officials, “Are you ready?” and his cry to the two teams, “Are you ready?” The captains hold up their hands as a signal that they are ready. The referee’s whistle echoes and re-echoes. The captain of the Blues boots the ball far into the enemy’s terri- tory. It is caught by a fleet Red half-back, who comes darting down the field. He is nailed by a big Blue tackier; both arise, the teams line up, and the game is on. The Red quarter-back calls a few snappy signals, snaps the ball, and the two teams go together. Second down, ten. A great cry from the stands is heard, each team being cheered on. Another signal, another try at the line, and the Reds kick. A long hurtling spiral is kicked, is caught by a Blue safety and the defensive halves hurl themselves in front of an end. Up the field sped the man when crash—a big Red lineman downed the runner with all his power. Time. Water. Doctor. The two teams are glad of the short rest, and each man lies down. The doctor pronounces the man dead, and a new man is called in. As the sub rushes onto the field, his team mates slap him on the back, and tell him to level down on them. The game is again started. This time the Blues slowly march down the field impelled, by the new quarterback, who was all “pep”. Down the field they went. Down to the very shadows of the Reds’ goal. A hush had fallen over the crowd, for it seemed that the Blues were going to score. But with each rush the powerful Red line settled down more firmly, the two big guards being like stone pillars. “Ball goes over,” was heard. Now the stands were frantic, for never had they . THE TRAIL 916 middle of the field the referee’s whistle blew and the time was up. Just at that time a shot rang out and the ball fell to the ground punctured by a bullet. Then pandemonium broke loose. All the fireworks were set off by both sides, each side wishing to celebrate the great game. Air ships flew and steamboats steamed; cannon boomed and dynamite exploded. Great was the noise thereof. The great game was over. The line-up: BLUES Columbus Wagner Wellington Perry Cobb Junkin St. Peter Anderson . Dargan . Lee . Hercules Left End Left Tackle .

Why not spend part of the holi- days at Kerrville? A year or two ago you might have asked where Kerrville is, but now you would not dare to show your ignorance by asking such a question. It is one of the most ideally situated little places in Texas. The Encampment is held every year on the beautiful Guadalupe river where the campers may swim, fish, and boat ride to their heart’s content. Every day is a fine day at Kerr- ville. Everyone revels in the perfect climate and the glorious scenery. While the Encampment is a place for recreation and rest, it was insti- tuted for the purpose of benefitting our minds and souls as well as our bodies. While we are enjoying the pleasant climate and picturesque views we may also be having our minds and souls refreshed. There is a Bible class every day that is instructive and uplifting. Every day there are addresses by learned men that are an inspiration to all that hear them. There is also a girls’ conference and a boys’ conference. This year the dates of the encampment are from July 20, to August 13, and people from all over the state will begin to come in about that time. Everybody goes, from the grandma and grandpa down to the little babies. There is something for everybody to do. If-you are too old to join the kinder- garten, you can play tennis and swim ; if you are too old for these giddy sports you can sit in the shade and crochet, or play forty-two. There are several clubs that meet every year. Austin College owns a lovely club house which is the center of many pleasant meetings during the Encampment. Daniel Baker also owns a very beautiful club house, the money for which was donated by Mrs. T. A. Sloan. It is situated among large shade trees and is comfortably and conveniently arranged and furnished. Tt serves as a rallying place for Daniel Baker students and their friends. This little green and white bungalow is a veritable bower, decorated with pennants, pictures, and comfortable sofa pil- lows. There are on display catalogues, college annuals, and other literature that might contain information about our college. For two veers Daniel Baker had a big club present and attracted much attention, but last year the small- ness of our club was conspicuous. We want a big club this year and prove that. Daniel Baker is the college of the West. The accompanying cuts give you a good pictorial description of the pleasures at Kerrville, but you have to go once to realize what they mean. There were over six hundred people there last Summer, but only twelve of them were from Daniel Baker:—Dr. and Mrs. Gray and family, Mr. and Mrs. Williams and familv. and Mr. and Mrs. Greer. Tf you go this Summer you will have the time of your life. The En- campment will be bigger and better in every way.

This served to renew the discussion of plans which had been going on for weeks. Hetty was going to have a house party at her home in the country and all the “Big Four” were to be there. The next day the dormitory was in an uproar for everybody was leav- ing. There was a lug crowd at the station to wave goodbye to those who were going home. After the laughing group on the platform were completely lost from view, a rather lonesome feeling came over the four girls who were begin- ning a long tiresome trip. In order to cheer themselves up they decided to draw up rules to govern the “old maids” home which they were going to have. Betty, as hostess, acted as chairman. “Every one of you know that during this month at my house, you won’t have a chance to see a single boy or man except my father, and I’m real glad of it because you have had enough of them this winter. Therefore, with my authority as president i declare the name of the “Big Four Club,, changed to the “Bachelor Maids”. Some objected to this but it was finally carried, and after a great deal of laughing and planning it was decided to adopt the motto: ‘ ‘ Back to the single life ’ ’. There were four chief rules that had to be obeyed, one for each girl in the club: 1. No girl in the house party shall be allowed to look in the mirror more than ten minutes a day and that only when she is combing her hair. This was aimed at Janet who was accused of being vain and certainly had been late to at least three eight-thirty classes on account of primping so long before her mirror. 2. No girl in the crowd shall be allowed to powder her face. Mildred was the object of this rule, for she had the habit of powdering her face upon all occasions and her powder rag was the one thing that she would never leave behind her. 3. Fluffy-ruffle garden hats are absolutely forbidden—bonnets must be used instead. Now Julia hated a sunbonnet worse than anything and prepared for the jaunt by purchasing a big fetching straw hat with pink roses and ribbons, which she decided was extremely practical because it would shade her face. 4. High heel shoes must be put upon the taboo list. Betty had a passion for dainty shoes, but the three others finally managed to bring her to agree to this since each of the others had given up some pet fancy. After the girls had left the dirty train and had driven five miles to ’ e rules. garden hat were all put upon a high shelf as a reminder and also to keep them out of reach. After dinner, the girls donned aprons and sunbonnets and went for a tramp by the mail box and on to discover a good fishing place. The days passed rapidly, and happy days they were. There were days of fishing, kodaking, hunting, picnics, swimming and long tramps over the hills. Each girl declared that she loved living the life of a “bachelor maid” and never did want to “fix up,” but every now and then rather longing looks were cast toward the forbidden shelf. As Janet said, “It didn’t make any difference anyway how you looked where you din’t see anybody.” Only one week remained of the holiday and all were determined to make the most of it. They had kept the rules well and thought that they would fin- 1916 sss THE TRAIL wmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ish out the required time. Just three days before tJie girls were to leave, Hetty’s Lather brought the interesting news that a young man had come to stay at a neighbor’s house for the rest or tire summer, 'lne girls were consumeu with curiosity and showered questions upon Mr. .Leyton. “Is he good looking?” “How old is heV” “What neighbor is it that he is visiting t” The jolly old man laughed at them and merely said that the interesting specimau was boarding at Smith's, the people who lived about a mile away right near the place where the girls had to go lor tue mail. The very next morning, each girl was determined to go lor the mail. In order to give them an excuse to satisly their curiosity Beity s mother said that she had to send to Smith’s to get some eggs. Three of the girls were in the kitchen, so Julia decided she would slip oil and go first. She tnought perhaps that she would be able to get home before they missed her and in that way she would be the very first to meet the stranger. The idea ol meeting a good-looking man in a sunbounet, however, seemed absurd. Slipping into the bed room she took her beloved garden hat off the shelf, anu put the box carefully back as if the hat were still inside. She put it on and felt beautiful indeed, even though her dress was simple. Taking a bucket for the eggs, Julia set off down the path. .Not five minutes later Janet formed the same plan, but could not resist peeping into the mirror, fluffing her hair a little, and powdering her cheeks before she set off to see the stranger. She, too, carried a bucket for the eggs. Betty and Mildred, also, had each decided to be the first to the mail box and to Smith’s. Mildred formed an excuse to get away by saying that she was going to write a letter. After powdering her nose, she too took a bucket on her arm and set off for the eggs. Betty was glad when the coast was clear, al- though she had no idea where the other girls had gone. She hated to treat her company in such a way but she did want the distinction of being able to ask him over to dinner and of introducing him to the other girls with an air of superiority. She changed her apron for a dainty lawn dress and then hesi- tated for an instant. She hated to be the first to break the rules, but she could not feel dressed up and at her best in her every day shoes. She went to the forbidden shelf and took down her nice high heeled pumps, put them on and was off for the mail and eggs. She walked gaily along, thinking what she would say and how she would look when she met him. Of course, he would be tall, dark, and handsome. Soon, the mail box was reached, but Betty passed it by and went straight on to Smith’s. When she knocked a pleasant woman came to the door. “Good morning, Mrs. Smith, mother sent me over for some eggs,” Betty said, wondering all the time where that good-looking man could be. Mrs. Smith smiled slighty w hen she asked Betty to come in. The invitation was accepted and Betty walked in to find Julia there with her fluffy-ruffles hat set coquestishly on the side of her head, Janet with all the signs of “primp- ing” about her, and Mildred with her face well powdered. They all looked at each other quite sheepishly at first, and then burst out laughing. “Girls, the young gentleman boarder went back to town early this 9 6 THE TRAIL THE EVOLUTION OF THE COGGINS Six years past, a sudden notion Struck a Daniel Baker girl, And in less time than it takes to tell it Several brains had caught the whirl. In our school were three societies •lust one Co-ed, don’t you see How evidently one-sided Such affairs had grown to be. Of course the Greeks would hang together As their names so correspond, But the Mcs were getting lonely Needing to be urged along. B. McDermott as a leader, Organized this noted band And from then until the present We’ve been marching hand in hand With our dear McClelland brothers, Who have always been the same. Now, the question rose among us, Can we live without a name? Well, of course not, so we pondered Most a month on what to do, And at last it all was settled— It will be Coggins always too. For a friend of Daniel Baker Stands this name we love so well, Of his many deeds of kindness For our college we could tell. Then there followed days of pleasure, Days of toil and work come too, But through all the hardest struggles We have bravely fought them through. Some who’ve been here in past years Know what hardships we have had, Lack of money, not of courage Sometimes made us very sad. In this year of nineteen sixteen Let us work with all our might. In the realm of Daniel Baker, Coggin first, and then you’re right. —Maude Cook, Coggin Historian. MAN WILL NEVER DIE Each man lives a certain span Of years and dies, a mortal man. A solemn blessing, — To him addressing,— A triumph to the race he ran. In solemn ceaseless concourse rolls Unnumbered fearful mortal souls In thoughts depressing, And still caressing The life that points to shaded goals. The mortal life is sin and pain And little is for man to gain. And, yet, undoubting The ceaseless shouting, We hear them beg to live again! Why beg and plead for breath and For life when Silent Death is nigh? The end approaching And Death encroaching. Know all that man will never die!
