CHANDLER, M. A., D. D. X51k Orail 1922 The Pres denf s Message GREETINGS: As we come to the close of the College Year, it is fitting to review somewhat our work together. I am glad that I am able to say that the year has been an unusually pleasant one insofar as the relations of students to each other and of students to faculty are concerned, and, especially relationship between you and me in my official position. I have never had a more pleasant year of college work in this respect. Daniel Baker has made progress along several lines. We have “come back in athletics and made a fair record; we have introduced business administration; we have completed our new chapel and fine arts building; we have increased our attendance about twenty-five per cent over that of last year; and the hopefulness and “pep” of the institution have been materially increased. All these things make for a very successful College Year; but the real success of the year depends entirely on what we have done for you. These other things, we hope, are the outward evidence of the benefits you have derived from As you go forth for your summer vacation, you carry my best wishes for the enjoyment of your homes and your rest. May things so conspire that you will be ready and glad to be back and make our next year even better and more pleasant than this. S. E. CHANDLER.

Z3be Orail 1922 Senior Qlass 'Prophecy AS THE sun was setting not many evenings ago, the prophet that here reveals the future of the august body of seniors of Daniel Baker College, stood on a prominent elevation that afforded an excellent view of a won- derful sunset. The clouds soft and airy drifted here and there, bathed in the golden reflections of that glorious sunset, revealing to the prophet who stood there mysteries with reference to the future of each of his dear classmates. It was, as it were, a mirage that showed forth the wonders of that future day for each of that class of '22. Standing there as if in a dream, reading the future of his classmates he reviewed the following to himself as if he were soliloquizing: “Ah! There stands my old roommate and fellow classman, James Otho Cade! In the prime of his life! A ranchman in New Mexico, a writer and author of considerable note, but more than that he has just finished his first term in the United States Senate, representing there the people of that noble western state. There, true to his boyhood dreams, his wonderful oratory has repeatedly swayed the members of that body with its convincing power. After leaving college, he moved to New Mexico. Success attended his efforts and the people of that country soon began to recognize the ability of their neighbor; and he began to rise in the political world with the result that his usefulness was rewarded by a seat in the Senate. How- true is it that the reward of doing and of usefulness is more responsibility! “Mrs. E. J. Miller, a woman of wealth! Fortune has favored her and daily there pours into Brownw'ood by the pipelines from the west untold quantities of oil. With a true conception as to the value and usefulness of wealth, she has endowed our dear old college, providing the best of equipment and buildings for her old Alma Mater. With true enjoyment she still loves to linger about the halls of the old college and only with the greatest difficulty is she able to refrain from matriculating at the beginning of each college year. “Miss Addie Perry! She it was who thought so highly of Daniel Baker as to do as Mrs. Miller did, namely, to raise her B. Lit. to an A. B. She has proven her usefulness in the realm of education, having gained public office several times on an educational platform. “Our beloved classmate, Ed Blair! A man who has won distinction in the world through his consistent and conscientious work! One of the foremost educators in the state of our nativity and loved and honored by a host of friends! He never loses an opportunity to speak a good word for Daniel Baker, his old Alma Mater. And if I can read the signs aright, I believe that Daniel Baker is going to call her own into her service in the near future. ‘‘Behold, the leader of the American women in the political world! Miss Mary Emison! Her intensive study of political science in Daniel Baker w'as not in vain. For many a year she has represented the Lone Star State in the £31k Z5rail 1922 United States Senate and day after day finds her faithfully at her desk in that famous legislative hall. Were it not for the fact that she is a woman, she would undoubtedly be the democratic leader of that body. Just think! Two of our class have been rewarded with seats in the Senate! “Behold! I see a minister’s wife. I wonder who it is! Well, if it isn’t Charlotte. There she labors patiently and faithfully in the church of her hus- band, counting it all joy to help others and to sacrifice her pleasure that others as well as she might partake of that higher pleasure as it is found in Christ. “Mrs. Charles Horn! As I remember her interest in English and literature while in Daniel Baker, I am not surprised that she is a great novelist and a writer on educational subjects. A second George Eliot! The George Eliot of America! “There stands Jim White, a man useful and a blessing untold to humanity! New standards has he set for the fourth estate—standards that have raised that profession to a higher plane of usefulness; his clean Christian life and his zealous work in the church and Sunday School has been a blessing to many; and his influence is felt in many places through his lectures in the luncheon clubs, es- pecially in the Rotary Club.” At this point the reflections on the clouds became so dim that the prophet was not able to read his own future before the sun had fallen out of sight and the golden reflections turned to gray. Turning to go and yet hesitating for one more look in the hope that he might discern something of his own future, the prophet says to himself, “What a future of usefulness is in store for our class— the class of '22. Usefulness! Ah! That is the great thing in life; we are sent here to serve.” With slow and measured steps the prophet makes his way homeward only to realize that what he has seen is yet many years hence. —E. R. L. Page S3 Z3be Orail 1922 zA Song by the Sea By Jas. 0. Cade I heard in the eve, by the bugle and horn, A call of the nations for men, in a war Renewed by a hatred perpetual, inborn! And, camped on a hill in the midst of the strife, I searched for the Power of the Ruler of it all. Then came, as a flash of the fall of a star, A thunderous answer in powder and ball Of armies and navies determined and rife! I sat on a stone by the side of the road, Beheld all the regiments pass in review And wondered: was awed by the Power that strode By squads in the dust and the sun and the glare! Their bayonets gleamed and their hob-nails creened, Their muscles were free and their movements were true. I thought on the scene, through the sun-light screened, Of Strength—and the Power in the force that was there! I stood on the beach by the edge of the sea And saw on the decks of the ships of our fleet The force and the numbers of men of the Free Who sailed from the Bay by the light of the stars To give to the world by the sword and the hand A tale to be told by the men on the street, A song to be sung by the bards of the land, A Treaty of Peace with the Dragon of Mars! But listen! I heard a congenial strain! A mother and a babe in a fisherman’s cot Were crooning and singing a homely refrain, Awaiting the fisherman toiler’s return. In plaintive, seducive, devotional love The mother was singing, content with her lot, And lulling the babe with the croon of a dove To sleep, by the light of the stars that burn. I turned from the sea and the Fleet of the Land, Forgot for a moment the camp on the hill, And watched by the stars the diligent hand That lulled and controlled by the Power of her song The heart and the soul of a child and a man! I knew as she sang in the star-light still ’Twas there that the force and the might of the throng Was made, and the Power of the Ruler began! Obc Orail 1922 I3bo. Z3ratl 1922 Harry Knox, Jr. Stella Storey Ruby Helen Lamb Myrtle Wright Bernice Emison Lucy Perry Knox Frank M. Taylor Fannie Smith A CLASS REUNION When I came back to Brownwood in 1932 from a wild rabbit hunt in Central Africa, the first thing I did was to look up Myrtle Wright. She is now Mrs. David Taylor, you know, and it surely did bring back memories to me to see her in her lovely home north of Brownwood. “Yes, Sonny Boy (that’s what she calls David now), has a fine farm,” she said, “and we are so happy! But don’t you wish that we could have all of that old Junior class of 1922 together again?” “Why not?” I asked. And then and there a reunion was planned. It so happened that every member of the class could come (though Stella Storey had to send Harry Knox, Jr., the money to buy his railroad ticket with)! Stella, sad to relate, had thrown her life away by marrying a New York millionaire. She was wasting her time as a society butterfly and doing no good for humanity whatsoever. This was the result of her cutting Psychology to learn to play bridge, no doubt. She was still as kind-hearted, however, as when she used to translate the French for us just before class each morning! Mr. and Mrs. Robert N. Winship, Jr., came in looking as prosperous as could be. We were surprised to learn that Bob w'as not playing in the circus band any more. It seems that he quit in order to take Edwy away from trapeze Page 36 Obe Orail 1922 acting. He said he saw an opening in Utah for a good cheap laundry, and he moved out there and set up a big plant. The beauty of this business, it seems, is in the laundresses—as Bob’s fifty wives make ideal help! Harry Knox, manager of the hotel at Hickville, finally arrived. We hardly knew the old boy because of his straggling three-weeks old beard. Harry mournfully told us that he had been director of a fine concert band but his foliage interfered with his playing so that he had to give it up and go to the country where trimming up once a month would suffice. Poor fellow, he always did hate to cut ’em off! Bessie Freeland wired that she had to finish a big job in interior decorating and would be delayed. Bessie has a nation-wide reputation along this line. Her message was sent from her headquarters in California. Frank Taylor, the great inventor and manufacturer, ran out one of his fastest late model planes and flew over for Bessie. He returned with his fair cargo inside of twenty-four hours. Ruby Lamb drove through the country in one of her favorite Hudson Super-sixes. She had struck it rich in oil in Mexico. Her natural wild nature had led her into desperate conspiracies with Mexican bandits and bootleggers. Aside from that, however, she was leading an exemplary life, and proving her- self a credit to the class. Bernice Emison informed us of Ruby's lawlessness and high-handed deal- ings, for Bernice is high up in the secret service. Her natural innocent appear- ance is a great help to her in this profession; but her chief asset has been her knowledge of Spanish and French, which she learned in Daniel Baker College. This has been invaluable in foreign affairs and mix-ups. We were all overjoyed at having such a complete reunion. We began to plan at once to do something for our old Alma Mater in token of our love and appreciation of her. —By Historian Lucy Perry Knox. Ot)£ I5rail 1922 ‘Rules of I). 3. Q. By Frank M. Taylor I will give you the rules of D. B. C. Just as they were laid down to me. These rules you hear the first of school. Then, every day there is a new-made rule! First, and foremost of them all, Don’t hang out or loiter in the hall. Through it like a cannon ball you must go; Run if you must, but don’t go slow! For, as has often been said to you, Halls are made merely to pass through. Next in importance is a little rule Concerning attendance at church and Sunday School. Be sure that to your own church you go, For you are not wanted at the others you know. Chapel and classes each day you must meet; When the bell rings, you must be in your seat! If you have any studying to do, Don’t be on the Campus or the Avenue; Neither in the windows nor the hall, For such will never do at all! But you must go to the reading room, And if you’re not quiet, you’ll meet your doom; On each wall is tacked a SILENCE card, Which reminds you to be on your guard. Don’t let your cuts amount to four, For if you do, it’s you for the door! All these rules and many more Have been told to us o’er and o'er. Page 38 Z3b £ Prelii 1922 ! The Sophs From an zAirplane Twelve Tears Hence i4 r f IP, look down there at those bill-boards on the Woolworth Building! j There's a sign—VERNON’S PRIMEVAL CIRCUS. That’s Frank Vernon of our old Sophomore class in D. B. C.! Had you heard that Muggs Chandler had become such a noted bareback rider and trapeze artist that Frank had to marry her to keep her from joining another troupe?” It was Bates speaking. Since I had been appointed Aerial Traffic Cop on the Pennsylvania to Gulf “Airway,” he had filled the position of mechanic for me. We had just stepped from the aerivator at the five-mile height where our plane was stationed and were preparing to start on our run down the Airway to catch any stray “speeders.” When we were a few miles out of New York, I picked up a “Whirlwind” and glanced idly and casually over the editorials and jokes. I turned to the advertisements. From a double page advertisement of some new kind of tooth paste a very familiar face smiled up at me—who would have suspected Maurice Coke of such latent possibilities! I had just recovered from this surprise when Bates pointed electric family plane flying below us. Obc Z5rail 1922 “That’s another member of our Sophomore Class—though we can only gaze upon her from afar. Last month’s “Tatler” devotes a paragraph to a little girl from West Texas who succeeded in marrying the multi-millionaire Woof—quite evidently for his millions. “You know Pauline Fitzgerald came east to study decorating. Although she made a failure of decorating, she was quite a financial success—she married her richest patron! That's her new electric plane that Woof has just imported from Australia. Isn’t it a beauty! Do you suppose we’ll ever have one like that ?” We flew down the coast until we reached northern Georgia, and then west to Dothan, Alabama, which was our first stop for petrol. It was here in Dothan that I saw Sam Mclnnis had come and established a petrol station. The undertaking business was on the blink, that is, not very lucrative since Doris Adams had discovered her fountain of perpetual youth out in West Texas. Doris had endowed Daniel Baker with a million dollars for new buildings and equipment. We left Dothan and flew down the Gulf Coast and over Texas. It was in the afternoon when we passed over a queer little group of buildings out by themselves in the prairie. There were perhaps twenty or thirty of these build- ings and they were all painted a vivid green. I referred to my Guide Book to discover what sort of settlement this might be. The Guide Book gave the following: “Heavies’ Haven,” an establishment conducted under the personal direc- tion and management of Madam Estelle McAlister. It is an institution to which the stout matrons of our country may retire when they desire to recover their young and supple figures of girlhood. So this was Estelle’s calling! ! ! We were nearing San Antonio when Bates called to me again. “Zip, look over there to the north and you will see the Whitely-Bradshaw Rattlesnake Farm.” When we reached San Antonio, we left the plane up about three miles and dropped into the Hotel Gunter to spend the night. We walked up to the desk and registered—and who should assign us to our room but our old friend W. Y. Fowler! The next morning we left San Antonio immediately after breakfast. When we had traveled about a hundred miles, something went wrong with the motor. We made a forced landing in a field near a large three-story building. While Bates was repairing the motor I sauntered over to investigate this odd structure, thus isolated from civilization. As I came near it I could see that all of the windows were barred. I could see people moving about in some of the rooms. Someone beckoned to me and I moved nearer. It was a girl. She looked at me and then shrieked and beat upon the bars. Surely my eyes were deceiving me—there was Fay Johnson; and in the next room Toofie Stallcup was knocking Page ill Obe Orail 1922 a jigg very complacently and hooting like a pigeon. I hurried around to the front entrance. I was consumed with curiosity. Before I could gain the front door a little frenzied man rushed out and ordered me off the place. He had very black hair with long side-burns. He spoke with a slightly foreign accent and I was unable to understand him very well. However, I could very plainly see that he earnestly wished me to leave. Not until I reached the plane did I realize that the doctor in charge of this asylum was Austin Wilkinson, who I remembered now had spent many years of study abroad. Bates and I decided to pass over Brownwood on our way east and get a bird’s-eye view of the old Daniel Baker Campus. As we neared Brownwood we flew closer to the ground so that we might see better. At last,—after an eternity it seemed,—I could distinguish the old landmarks. Below us lay Daniel Baker College. The Campus had been enlarged to three or four times its original size. In the center of the Campus was the Coggin Memorial Chapel, south of it old Coggin Hall; then, north of these formed in a semi-circle were the new buildings: a science hall, a library, gym- nasium, mining and engineering, domestic science halls; while south of all these lay the four new dormitories. All this change in the twelve years since we Sophomores had struggled along as students in Daniel Baker College! Mendicant J ove Love may come limping, halt, or blind, Or may wear the mask of sin; Though he may be rough, brutal, or unkind Open the door and let him in! He stands and laughs at hands that deny, He knows that for him there is no “Nay;” He knocks where he wills, low or high, Enters and sets his staff close by. You may crowd your hall with many a guest To pipe and dance in his despite; Though you work and forget him, mock him w’ith jest, Patient he sits there, morn and night. —By Maurice Coke. £3rait 1922 Freshman Qass History By Class Historian Ernest Bunn THE Freshman Class of 1922 of Daniel Baker College has all the component parts of a winner. They have a wide range of students, hailing from different parts, from the back-woods of Bangs to the bright lights of Fort Worth; and varying in size from the small tot to the heavy six-footers of the football squad. Along with these knowledge-seeking students there came to Daniel Baker College an added degree of high ambition and “pep.” Upon the class roll are many names of students who have been in the service of Uncle Sam. Several of them saw overseas service with the A. E. F. There are quite a few students who came from the immediate neighboring towns to take advantage of the college facilities not afforded by their communities. Several of the Freshmen are students who graduated from the Daniel Baker Academy last year. They have returned with the old Daniel Baker spirit to take up their college work. Brownwood High School, however, furnished most of this year’s Freshmen. They brought with them the well-known pep” of their old High School days. This “new blood” grafted onto the old College will help to keep Daniel Baker the College it has always been, carry her on to new victories, and restore her to the old high position in Texas athletics. There was a Freshman small, Playing in the sun all day. Six feet and seven tall Was this Freshman, green and gay. With signal’s call He snapped the ball; Then, he hurled nine men away And made a ghastly “hole” That cost the foe a goal! C?b £ Orail 1922 To a D. 3. C Qirl I sit by the fireside and ponder, (As poets are wont to do), And in my dreams I wonder Whatever became of you. The sweetest and fairest at college, Rose of D. B. C., I’m all athirst for the knowledge,— Wherever can you be? Are you unloved as I am? Have you married long ago? Have you forgotten Brownwood town, And the freinds we used to know? Is D. B. C. a memory? Or a shadow, faded, past? Or do the days seem long and dreary, Since you parted from it last? But long the way, and long the while; Wherever you may be, Take up the cup and with a smile Let’s drink to D. B. C. May good old D. B. last; May her worth increase her fame; May all the world in years to pass Respect and praise her name. —Fallon Baxter Porter Ohe Orail 1922 b £ t3rail 1922 The Academy Faculty THOMAS H. HART, A.

So popular was she amongst the students that one Ed Blair, then a Junior, determined to take her to be his wife! Well, we’ll not recount the romance—but it happened; and husband and wife soon after became members of the faculty at Coleman. Theo. was again called to a place in the D. B.

She took her degree in the year 1921 and was straightway offered a place in the Academy, where she had been teaching for several years as a student assistant. Her teaching has not been confined to the Academy, but she dropped out in her Junior year and taught one year in the public schools.

Its purpose is to fit students for the college classes who have not had the benefits of regular high school facilities. It is directly under the supervision of a man who has had experience in the best high schools and colleges in the state; and the requirements of its teaching force are the same as in any standard high school. The Academy classes are growing smaller each year. This is the result, perhaps, of the raising of the standards of the rural and small- town high schools in the country about. It is hoped that the state may see fit to make it an altogether unnecessary institution in the very near future by so improving the public schools as to place a high school education within reach of all; but until that time, the doors of the Daniel Baker Academy are open to every young man or woman who is deficient in high school work.

It was surprising the way the man lifted the degenerated Hill forces from the “gutter” in one season. Next year, under his supervision, will be a marker in the brilliant history of Daniel Baker football. Coach is also an old three-letter man in A.

Ohc Or ai I 1922 EVER since we of the present generation can remember, Daniel Baker College has been known throughout the entire Southwest as the greatest little football team going. . Perhaps it was famous in the old days of “shinny” (not “shimmie”); but we youngsters cannot remember so very far back into the 19th Century; hence, we are not responsible. However, from the reports given out by such distinguished Alumni as Professor Tom Hart and Mr. Walter Taber, Sr., there must have been some very fast teams in those days. At any rate, we heard Prof. Hart offer to outrun his twenty-year-old son not so long ago under the handicap of wearing his heavy overcoat. Enough for the past, let us turn to the present and future. The past football season has proven successful. The score against us was hardly half that which we piled up against our opponents for the entire year. However, our success does not lie so much in the victories we have won or the scores that we have totaled against the other clubs of the state; but in the fact that Daniel Baker has gained her feet, knocked from under her by the wholesale enlistment of her male population at the outset of the World War, and that she is again the proud possessor of a club above the average of the senior college class in Texas. Too, her present club is one that will stay with her for two and three more years, Captain Blair being the only graduate this Present prospects point decidedly toward a banner year for the old College next gridiron season. With twelve letter men sure to be back and fine prospects for some “old timers” like Charlie Perry, the T. I. A. A. title looks inviting. It must not be forgotten either that football critics already have their eyes on three or four Hill Billies for All-state and All-southwestern honors next season.

But the spectators were fairly well satisfied. They got what they came after when they saw the Hill Billies in action. They realized that Daniel Baker College could once more boast of one of the greatest gridiron teams in the state, a club that was sure to uphold the ancient traditions of the College and make Texas athletics sit up and take notice. The home club depended almost entirely upon end runs and line plunges. Lack of interference in end runs robbed the blue and white of many scores in this game, as well as in other games of the season. The backfield showed the slowness that was to be expected in a raw club and especially during the heat of September. However, much was seen of the wonderful individual speed of the Hill Billie backs; and it could be seen even at that early date that they could be developed into a very effective and smashing machine. Only three forward passes were attempted—one was intercepted, one was incomplete, and the other nestled snugly in White’s grasp for a net gain of twenty yards. The visiting Methodists were light in weight but played gamely against all odds. The team appeared to be very well coached, and was made up of a fine bunch of clean-cut young Texans, who took their drubbing good-naturedly and like good sports. 131)4 3rail 1922 T aniel Baker Qollege vs. John Tarleton oftf. At Brownwood, October 6, 1921 Daniel Baker............7 John Tarleton...........13 This was perhaps the most wretched game that was ever staged on the local gridiron. There was decided lack of football tactics shown by both teams, with most of the “breaks favoring the visitors. Tarleton gained her thirteen winning points with two field goals and one touchdown. The two field goals came in the first quarter while their last score came in the last period when Britton, Tarleton tackle, covered a blocked kick behind the Hill Billie goal. The Hill Billies scored in the second period, gaining their seven points when “Red” Watson, the Hill Billie fullback, picked a Tarleton fumble out of the dust and carried it sixty yards, with splendid interference for a touch- down. White kicked goal, as usual, with never failing accuracy. The second period was decidedly in favor of the locals. The third quarter of the game was the dirtiest fight perhaps that was ever staged on a football field. Roughing was common on both sides. Tarleton had several men placed on the side line with injuries. White had been so badly hurt early in the game that his usual record of sixty-yard punts was reduced to thirty, and now the Hill Billies were forced to retire him with injuries to his hip that were to keep him out of many games of the season to come. Altogether, it was a game that both teams could very profitably left unfought. Aiken, Boon and Britton were the outstanding stars for the Stephenville Farmers. They were agressive in every moment of play, and the game could never have been won had the Farmers been deprived of either of them. Coke and Carr were the shining lights in the Hill Billie ranks that day. White played a good game until he was crippled. Miller showed good inter- ference on several occasions and played a hard-hitting game at tackle. He was largely responsible for Red Watson’s spectacular sixty-yard dash for a touch- down in the second quarter. However, no credit must be taken from “Red” because of that, for it took a head full of judgment and a cool pulse to engineer his big carcass over that sixty yards covered with Tarleton sand-lappers! I$| Page 58 Obc Z3rail 1922 Daniel ‘Baker Qo liege vs. Simmons Qo liege At Browhwood, October 22, 1921 Daniel Baker.......21 Simmons.........24 “One of the finest exhibitions of football I ever saw,” was the universal comment heard on the streets of the city the next day after the Simmons game. The Hill Billies “came back” with a snap which showed that the Tarleton affair was a simple trick of fortune. Simmons had just startled the football world by defeating the strong T. C. U. delegation on their home field when the Hill Billies stepped in and out-played them on every inch of the field. The game was spectacular from beginning to end. The home club scored first by hard earned straight football. Simmons followed up with their first score soon after when Jacobson intercepted a foolish Hill Billie lateral pass near the home goal and stepped over easily. Then the Cowboys got their only “earned” score when Yeager took the kick-off in the third quarter to the Hill Billie 20-yard line; Daniel Baker drew a penalty and Simmons pushed the pig- skin over the white line. Daniel Baker then started on the west end of the grid- iron and carried the ball over the opposing goal on the east end with a series of the most furious line attacks ever seen in this state. Each team scored another touchdown, Simmons on a “fluke,” and the score was tied up until the last three minutes of play, when “Red” Watson leaped a fewr inches too high in an attempt to block a Cowboy placement kick, and the spiral spun between his legs and cleared the home goal by a narrow margin. This left the Cowboys victors, “but such another victory would have destroyed their forces.” Yeager was the only outstanding star on the opposing eleven. He showed some real football ability and was the only thing that kept the Hill Billies from victory. The Hill Billie stars were White, LeMay, Denny and Coke. Carr and Watson also played the game well. I Page 59 Ob Orail 1922 ,rDaniel Baker Qollege vs. S. IV. T. D ormal. At San Marcos, October 28, 1921 Daniel Baker........3 S. W. T. Normal.........28 This is the only game of the season that the Hill Billies admit they lost because of being outclassed. They were played off their feet almost all of the game, though they did get in striking distance of the opposing goal in more than one instance. Fumbling, the old sin, was the main difficulty in the way of the Hill Billie scoring machine. White and Watson both fumbled when they should have been crossing the goal line with the pigskin tucked snugly under the arm. The Normal bunch scored consistently. They made a touchdown in each of the four quarters. The Hill Billie score came in the second period, when White dropped a field goal from the thirty-yard line. The kick was a beautiful one, and referee “Grip” Penn, State University, pronounced it the longest he had ever seen, declaring that it would have cleared the goal easily from the seventy-yard line! The outstanding stars of the game were Ramsey of the S. W. T. Normal and White of Daniel Baker. Ramsey is said to be one of the hardest hitting backs in the state and our gang testifies to the fact that he is no baby. His sensational runs were the talk of the whole T. I. A. A. this season. White earned his title as a star that day by his great toe ability, though he did not show his greatest ability as a runner and ground-gainer. Miller played a very con- sistent game at tackle, the best he played in the entire season. “Pete” Shans on the Normal line-up showed wonderful speed in hitting the line, and was responsible from his position at full for many gains through the Hill Billie line. Old-fashioned straight football was the rule of the day. There were few passes attempted, and both sides relied on line plunges and end runs mostly. White proved very effective on the defensive with his booting, he usually being able to keep the ball punted pretty well back into the enemy’s territory. Orail 1922 T)aniel Baker Qollege vs. St. Edwards Qollege At Brownwood, November 1921 Daniel Baker.......0 St. Edwards.........0 The battle against the Austin Catholics was a stubborn one. For the greater part of the game the ball was in the air, and the rest of the time it was pushed back and forth in the center of the gridiron. The visitors furnished some freak plays that furnished a thrill now and then, while the home eleven excited the admiration of the fans by their cool and deliberate action under well-known handicaps. In all, the home team had the advantage of two yards in net gains. The visitors made 180 yards and the Hill Billies 182. A straw’s weight would have turned the difference! In this game White was so badly injured from a bruised hip that had been bothering him since the Tarleton affair that he was forced to the bench in the first quarter. As the game was strictly a kicking game, this greatly handicapped the home club. Miller did some fair kicking but of course was not up to White’s standard, as few men in the state are. St. Edwards is one of the “outlaw” or non-association colleges of the state. They can of course run in anybody at any time, regardless of T. I. A. A. rules or any other. Other schools simply take this chance when they sign up for games with her. It is bad policy to play such schools without some under- standing, at least, as to whom they shall consider eligible to make their clubs. The outstanding players for the Hill Billies were Watson, LeMay, Coke, Carr, and Captain Blair. These men fought like tigers, as did the others too, to turn the draw battle into victory. I3rail 1922 “The Tigers won by luck; the Hill Billies fought them off their feet at every turn. ‘Daniel leaker Qollege vs. Trinity University At Waxahachie, November 11, 1921 Daniel Baker........0 Trinity..............7 When Coach Gillie took his badly crippled aggregation to Waxahachie for the Armistice Day game the town wise ones winked at each other, took another illegitimate drink, and straightway concocted therefrom a mighty tub of “dope” as to the outcome of the game. Of course, their decision was to the effect that the locals had no chance—that’s always the decision with some of them. Well, let that be! We know that their “dope” was upset, and had our full line-up been on the gridiron to start the game the dope would have been reversed without doubt. As it was, the state papers report that the Hill Billies literally fought the Tigers off their feet during the entire game. Trinity secured her seven points in a rather unusual way and through a surprise. When she received the kick-off the ball was straightway returned by punting. Through absolute, inexcusable ignorance of the game our safety allowed a Trinity man to race uninterrupted down the field and cover the ball behind the goal, the only score of the game. Needless to say, the safety was pulled and White went in, though badly injured in the hip, and finished the game. The hard fighting Hill Billies had hard luck in this game as in many others of the season. They swept the Tiger line back time after time; the Hill Billie backs made mighty gains through the gaping holes produced by the invincible four, Miller, Blair, Carr and Coke, and they ripped off brilliant end runs frequently. But every time the opponents’ goal was threatened “something happened,” and hence—NOTHING happened for us. The Tigers are to invade the Hill Billie country next year, and we look for the score to be quite different then. It.will be the first time that Trinity has met us on our home field since the war, and we hope to give them a very warm and cordial welcome. Ob Orail 1922 The Hill Billies scored at will on the Dallas Catholics ‘Daniel Baker Qo liege vs. ’Dallas University Al Brownwood, November 18, 1921 Daniel Baker...........27 Dallas University.. . 0 This game was a brilliant upset of all the “dope” of the athletic “wiseacres” in the state. The Hill Billies played a very consistent game throughout, except for a lapse in the third period. However, they whipped up in the fourth quarter and finished the game in good style. The game was a bone-breaking affair on both sides and substitutes were called in freely. The game was full of thrills and spectacular plays. Daniel Baker exercised the aerial tactics to great advantage, two touchdowns being brought about directly as results of forward passes. “Fighting Bill” Denny, the Hill Billy end, broke through the line and blocked a punt which was covered by Witherspoon, the other end, behind the opponents’ goal for a touchdown. White finished up the affair by receiving a punt on the seventy yard line and rac- ing down the field for the last touchdown. This was a very spectacular run, requiring every style of tactics from slant field running to the merciless stiff-arm. LeMay played a good game at quarter for the Hill gang in this game. Watson played a good game the first half but was benched the last half because of an injured elbow. White again demonstrated that he is the greatest half back in the country with his sensational kicking and running, in spite of the fact that he was still suffering from the torn ligament in his hip. Collins, Denny and Capt. Blair played first rate football, and Witherspoon showed the boys how easy it was for him to juggle forward passes over the opposing goal. Craig, Carr and Miller were unusually good in their line work and delivered the goods at the right moment. It appeared that “Shorty” Craig had really found himself. He was a towering terror to the opposition. Captain Swain at end and Johnson at half were the main stays of the Dallas Catholics. Swain broke up several Hill Billie plays on end, and Johnson was the only man in the opposing back field who could gain anything through the strong Hill Billie defense. Randolph and Perry did some good work for the visitors at tackle. Both were aggressive. Z3bi Orail 1922 cDa?iiel leaker Qollege vs. Abilene Qhristian Qollege At Brownwood, November 24, 1921 Daniel Baker..................55 A. C. C................0 Except for a short time in the second quarter this game was decidedly a one-sided affair. In the second quarter the Abilene gang pushed the ball steadily down the field to our ten yard line before they were stopped. That was the only time the Hill Billie goal was in anything like jeopardy. The Christians were helpless before the heavier and more aggressive Hill Billies. The Blue and White relied more on old-style, straight football than anything else. They ran short end runs very effectively and line plunges. Some forward passes -were mixed in for good measure. They proved very effective, especially from LeMay to White. LeMay easily demonstrated that he is one of the most accurate passers in the state in this as well as in other games of the season. White played with his usual vivacity. In fact, it was said by all who have watched his career closely that he was ‘‘at himself” in this game for the first t He It v according to old time form, comical the way those birds tagged him. They caught him high, and that was all the big fellow wanted. There were two especial instances in which he literally dragged three tacklers over the goal line with the ball in his hand for touchdowns. It was a football game but it should have have been on a vaudeville circuit. Revenge was sweet! We had not forgotten the year before in Abilene!! Scott, playing right half for the visitors, stood head and shoulders above .his teammates. He it was who made the second quarter rally possible. Out- side of him there was very little football ability exhibited by the Christians. For Daniel Baker the line did excellent work. LeMay and White were easily the stars, not only of the home club, but of the game. Both are excellent passers, though LeMay is granted the edge on White in that. Both are great ground-gainers. White is an invincible kicker and “Pluto” is the devil on defense. Page 6h Ota 5rail 1922 SIDE LIGHTS ON THE TURKEY-DAY GAME The sidelights are always interesting. Perhaps the most interesting of all was the old gentleman on the left. The staff photographer followed him around the entire field three times; and about a dozen more times he followed patiently as the Doctor walked the sideline before he finally caught him still enough for a moment to snap the picture shown here. Dr. Chandler is a football enthusiast if there ever was one—and especially a Daniel Baker football enthusiast. At the top and center we see Mr. Stale up, denominated the man of wire and wind by Dr. Power, leading a group of students in a yell. However, the touchdowns were being ripped off so fast about this time that most of them were unable to yell because their breath was taken. Oh joy ! (as Zip Hall would shout). At the extreme right we see the Right Honorable Tombo Young, duly elected Official VYaterboy for the 1921 club. There is nothing that Tombo enjoys more than a football game. Below at the left, we see Joe Turner, one of the best half backs that Daniel Baker (and therefore Texas) ever put out. Kverybodv knows Joe (which means “everybody likes him ), so there is no use in our wasting type about it. Then, there’s Coach “Oillie.” Everybody knows him too. Boy! He surely was interested just when this picture was snapped. We won’t tell who he was thinking about or what his thoughts were (he was thinking rather loud”) because we don't want to offend the ladies or scare the poor devil who was the cause of it all. Oh Joy! (Pardon us again, Zip.) Orati 1922 Stars of the Qridiron Ed Blair, Capt. '21 Roy White, Capt. '22. Vernon Carr, Tackle Captain Blair, Guard Ed was one of the three “veterans” who again donned the blue and white for the season of 1921-1922. No one can say a word against Blair in any game he ever played in, for he was one of those consistent sort of fellows who can always be counted on for a “hole” and to “hold.” The team will lose one of the best guards that ever wore the blue and white when Ed dons that cap and gown next spring. Captain (1922) White, Half Did you see this big devil rip off five of the eight touchdowns in the Thanks- giving affair? Then you know what he is. Roy has been pointed out by all the state papers as a very likely candidate for all-state and all-southwestern honors next year. There is nothing from passing to line plunging that this big fellow can’t do. He’s a football demon. Carr, Tackle We might mention that Vernon is one of the veteran football men in Texas. He has been mentioned for all-state honors both as a lineman and as a back. Heavy, aggressive, and full of real “pep,” he was the main stay of that line in many a pinch. Nothing could withstand the onslaught of that rough-handed Hill Billie. He was a tackle worth watching work. T3be Orail 1922 Bunn, End Witherspoon, End LeMay, Quarter “Hern” Bi.inn, End This young chap proved very useful as a utility man in several instances. His regular position is at end and the few games he played at that station were very much to his credit. “Hern” excited a great heal of admiring comment in the Dallas U. game when he stepped into LeMav’s shoes at quarter and generaled his club like a veteran. Blinn is a very likeable young fellow, and we hope Brown- wood High will send us more like him. “Mii.t” Witherspoon, End Milt” came all the way from Ft. Worth to play with the Hill Billies. He is very likeable (so the girls say), and is a credit to the institution. Witherspoon is a crack end. He is fast, aggressive and cool-headed. He has a habit of getting uncannily near the front end of a forward pass, and thereby spoiled many a visitor's hopes the past season. Milt will be back with us next year, we are glad to say, and we are expecting some wonderful things out of him. “Pluto” LeMay, Quarter Ye gods! Watch that devil split that line.” It was “Pluto.” He never misses. LeMay was at some disadvantage this past season because he was playing out of his position. He is a half back, but Gillie used him at quarter this year because of a shortage in that commodity. In more than one instance “Pluto” exhibited marvelous ability as a passer, as well as establishing his “rep” as a devil (Pluto) on the defense. Ol e Z3rail 1922 Maurice Coke, Guard Craig, Center Stringer, Guard “Steve” Coke, Guard Coke never played a game in his life that he didn’t have time called for him. And no matter how bad his injury he always came up out of the dust or mud cussing—and woe unto the opponent who crossed his path thereafter. Coke is one of the most vicious line men in the state; he fights because it is fun to fight. He is being pointed to as a candidate for all-state honors next season. He'll probably make it if his health is not injured in another “Queen Contest.” “Shorty” Craig, Center This little fellow is only six feet and seven inches tall, and he only weighs two hundred and twenty pounds. It’s a pity the Lord didn’t make him big enough to take care of himself. “Shorty” showed some real fight in the Trinity and Dallas U. games. He is also mentioned as a likely candidate for that mythical all-state eleven in the season of 1922. “Dumdum” Stringer, Guard Dumdum,” like his namesake, tears things up when he hits the line. Many an opponent wished that the Hill Billies would use steel instead of Dumdum.” Stringer is a very good football man. He is just a first year man and of course could not be expected to show his best ability this year. He is a cousin to old “Jock” Mobley, of whom we have heard so much, and we know the football ability is in him. We are looking for some wonders at his hands in 1922. Page 6S Obe Orail 1922 Montgomery, Half Lane, Guard Miller, Tackle “Monty” Montgomery, Half “Monty” is a fast and aggressive half back. He hails from the state of New Mexico, where his reputation was well established as an all-round high school athlete. He has kept up the good work in Daniel Baker, and promises to be one of the best ground-gainers we have in a few years. Like Coke, Monty has pecu- liar ideas about the girls, but we think that he will survive. We are glad to hear he’ll be back next year. “Country Boy” Lane, Guard “Country Boy” has well deserved his name because he has proven to be a true “country boy” in every respect. That is the place to go to get real “men.” Lane is a big Texan with a big heart and a sound mind. He is the sort of a fellow who succeeds anywhere you may put him. He is an all-round athlete and an excellent student. We want to see him back next year because he is the kind that Hill Billies are made of. “Ham” Miller, Tackle This monster Fort Worth boy set many an “aspirant” to a touchdown on his ear this past season. Did you see him can that Tarleton sandlapper on Oct. 6th? The poor devil was so dumfounded that when he came to he asked why the people in Brownwood didn’t keep their bulls out of the park. Ham” is a real football player—he’s a shark at it. When White was out he did some very creditable kicking too. We are pleased to report that he shall also be in the 1922 line-up.

His work against Tarleton and Simmons was a marvel. Denny fights every minute. As his father says, “They may get Bill for roughing, but they’ll never get him for loafing.” That just about expresses the truth as nearly as possible, for Bill is a real old rough-handed Hill Billie. Sam McInnis, Manager There is not much to say about Sam except that he is a h-11 of a good manager. He knows how to get his fist on the dough, and that's all we ask of Red” Watson, Full Look him over. This is the man that Dr. Chandler described as “good looking,” in spite of his red hair, after he made that spectacular run on October the 6th. “Red” is a first year man, but he showed marvelous ability as a line plunger and was always good for a few yards. On the defense he always had a knack of being just in the right place to hinder the opposing team. “Red” is one of these fast men who look slow. He moves about in a football uniform. We’ll be glad to see him back in the old College next season. Obi I3rail 1922 As the typewriters click off the last pages of this volume of THE TRAIL the Hill Billies are warming up for the spring baseball. Out- side we hear the youngsters as they rush madly by, all bent toward the park. Old Hill Billies and young ones, big ones and little ones, and middle-sized Hill Billies are all interested in the national sport. Daniel Baker has always had an enviable “rep” in baseball as well as in other sports. It has been her habit of old to walk all over teams of the smaller schools, and to occasionally hand the bitter pill of defeat to clubs like A. M. and Texas. None of us have forgotten the glorious victory over A. M. a few years ago, when Ed. Blair, who is now our chief of the pitching staff, cut their heavy hitting club down to two hits! Ed. will doubtless repeat the job again this year when we visit College Station. There are a lot of old men back like Roy White and Bates, and there is no reason why we should not take off the T. I. A. A. cham- pionship. There is a better line-up of new material for baseball than has come to Daniel Baker perhaps in any one other year of her life.

Ob £ Orail 1922 Some Early lVor - (Juts in Spring Sports “The early bird gets the worm,” is an old saying. The Trail photographer had the old proverb in mind as he went about getting “shots” for the baseball section. It is, of course, customary to give more attention to the “stars” in these pages than to others. We have taken for granted that those who came out early were “the birds” who would “get the worm” of star-dom later. With this in mind, the camera man shot everything in sight that was tossing a ball. Let’s hope he did not fail altogether in landing a few “worm” getters. Besides the baseball enthusiasts there were others who crossed the camera fiend’s” path. Romantic youths and their maids wandering forth in the bloom of spring on horseback, like Sir Lancelot and Guinevere of old! Mighty chargers foaming under the bit! Young Texas “blue-bloods” seeking amusement in true Texas style. All these were too tempting to be resisted entirely, even though the photographer's purpose was strictly baseball. Obe Orail 1922 The First Cjame of the Season We had heard some wonderful tales about the tall, slender fellow Harris from the Philadelphia Athletics, and he was scheduled to pitch the game against us for the All-Stars on February 22. Well, there was another little fellow who was also scheduled to work out on the same mound that same day. When he heard that Harris was to pitch he just smiled to himself and went on about his studies! Ed. Blair had not forgotten how Harris had gone down in defeat before him time after time when he pitched for the Yellow Jackets, but he said When Harris stepped in the box on the 22nd the Hill Billie lads trembled before him as he stood towering there with his enormous length and top-heavy reputation. Harris got away with the big bluff stuff for a few innings while Ed. was working calmly and steadily to overcome the odds of public opinion that was against him. Then it happened! Lane showed that the b'g fellow could be hit by knocking a pop-up. Then Bill Ashburn started the thing with a clean hit in right field. Three hits were made in succession, and Blair made one of them against his old rival. From that time on the score was in favor of the Hill Billies. Harris went out in the fourth inning and so did Blair, as it was too early in the season to expect either pitcher to toss a whole game. Harris got seven strike-outs in the four innings while Blair got eight. The game was finished for the All-stars by Harris’ two brothers. White finished the game for the Hill Billies. The two Harris boys showed up very well, but were easily outclassed by White, who was handicapped by a number of errors on the part of his team mates. The game finally ended with a score of 9 to 3 in favor of the College. This game has served to show that Daniel Baker College has some of the finest baseball material in the state. It was characterized by errors in the infield, of course, but this was due to earliness in the season, cool weather and a poorly kept diamond. We confidently believe that later developments will make this club into a championship oIk Orati 1922 Z5be Orail 1922 To Our High School Friends THERE has never been a case of closer friendship since the days of Jonathan and David than that which exists between Brown wood High School and Daniel Baker College. Daniel Baker has always been the older brother to High School. We hope and pray that this friendship may continue in the future as it has in the past, for our mutual good. As we have won and merited the friendship of this home high school, so we hope to win the friendship of many other high schools in this state. There can be no question that Daniel Baker College IS THE FRIEND of every high school in the state, and the task now is to make the feeling mutual. Although the Old College is under the Presbyterian denomination, she is non-sectarian. There is positively no effort ever made toward proselyting or toward impressing the sectarian views upon those who oppose them. A simple, reasonable and God-like education is offered all who will take it. That’s all. It is with a mixed purpose of conciliating this friendship and of giving justice to those high school teams who deserve praise for their athletic achievements that this department is inserted in the Daniel Baker Year Book. We realize the importance of high school athletics and fully realize that college athletics could never be without this preliminary training in high school. Then it is but natural that we should give praise where praise is due. That is the purpose of this department. Of course only a few high schools are represented here. The limited number is made necessary by the fact that only a few responded to our invitation to send in pictures and dope.” We regret very much that we cannot record here the achievements of ten or fifteen at least. However, we are their friends and hope that they may all have every sort of success in the future with their athletics; and may a goodly portion of them learn to aspire to the high degree of a “Hill Billie.” Page 76 Obti I5rail 1922 BROWN WOOD HIGH vs. SAN ANGELO HIGH This was a fierce battle from the first whistle to the very last. The visitors had the home High bested on weight and material, and it was only by sheer fighting that the lighter boys held the Angelo bunch to a tie. While we must give Angelo due credit for her superior team, we must also hand the Brown- wood boys the laurel for nerve and fight. There is some very good material on both of these clubs. We saw several huskies in the Angelo eleven who should make excellent Hill Billies. Of course Brownwood High always has men of that calibre. No need to speak of them. COMANCHE HIGH vs. ABILENE HIGH When the Comanche Indians met the Abilene boys on the Brownwood field to play off the championship of West Texas, there w’as very high feeling everywhere. The Indians were of the aggressive and wiry type, true to their name. Their forward passing was superb, and caused the Abilene boys consider- able worry. However, the West Texans were too much for the Indians, and sent them to a sore defeat. The Indians have some men that we must have in Daniel Baker. Further- more, the Abilene boys must be won to the right. They would make fine Hill Billies. £3b t Orail 1922 Rig Spring High Team fcSapte’l92ia).’ °r r’ Ua tCr The Big Spring “Blue Jays.’ We have heard quite a bit from the Big Spring High team this year. They have made quite a record for themselves. They lost only one game out of a total of nine. They scored on Interscholastic District 3 Champions, away from home. The “Blue Jays” piled up 265 points for the season to their opponents’ 41. Pretty good! They’d make good Hill Billies too! The Spur High School Team Under the leadership of our excellent friend, Mr. Cochran (more often known as “Judge”), this little West Texas metropolis has developed a good little football club. It is the first year that football has ever been taught in Spur, and we hear that Judge has done a very good job as an introducer. We feel that congratulations are in order, Judge; and from our high editorial pinnacle we graciously tender that laurel. THE TEAM ROSTER Watson . Abernathy Brazier Vernon Elkins . Utility Utility Obi Orail 1922 Qentral High vs. S (orth Side in Fort IVorth The game between these two big high school teams is watched with ex- ceedingly great interest each year. They usually divide state championship honors pretty evenly between themselves, and of course their games are usually of state-wide interest. Central High it was that served as a training camp for the redoubted “Bo” McMillin of Center College, as well as others of his team- mates like James. State University and A. M. have always looked to these two Fort Worth clubs for some of their very best football material. Our own Hill Billies owe a debt of gratitude to them for the training up of our three stars, LeMay, Miller and Witherspoon. In fact, there are few first-rate football clubs in America that have not at some time in their histories submitted to the leadership of a graduate of one or the other of these two high schools. This is a great record for a town the size of Fort Worth and one that they are justly proud of. In looking over the line-up of these two clubs we see many husky young forms that should be draped in the beautiful blue and white of Daniel Baker in years to come. The Old College is rushing forward with meteoric plunges into the forefront of Southwestern athletfcs, and no young fellow could find a better field in which to seek his fortune in the realm of sport than here. Under the indomitable leadership of Gillie” the Hill Billies must win! Then, offering this great opportunity as an inducement, we cordially invite the patron- age of these two great football training centers of Fort Worth, assuring them that Daniel Baker is open to them as an ideal educational institution with clean, manly, and highly efficient athletic spirit. These boys like to fight draw battles. May they fight many of them in scrimmages in Daniel Baker Park. Page 79 Z3rail 1922 Brownwood High School Qub THE fine looking gang of youngsters above is the generous contribution of Brownwood High School toward the student body of Daniel Baker College for the last few years. There has never been a time in the history of the Old College when at least a third of the student body was not from High School in Brownwood. At present, even a greater per cent are old High School Alumni. The picture above does not by any means show all the High School Club members, for a great number of the Freshmen were not present because of a History test. This gang is the “peppiest” in the whole school. They are the life of every movement from athletics to school drudgery. Always they bring to the College renewed spirit and energy to carry on the old traditions. There is a whip and a vim about their work that few other high schools are capable of showing. We hope that this good school may continue the good work and send us many more students of the same calibre that it has heretofore furnished. Brown- wood High School is certainly to be congratulated ori the high standard of its work, both in athletics and in literary education, and we assure her that Daniel Baker is proud to claim her as a very warm friend. May the B. H. S. Club grow larger each year.

It is a sorority with strict discipline and a noble purpose. We see that the discipline is there by the way the girls pull together, and we have guessed the purpose from the tenor of their work along musical lines. There is never a call for real service in the course of the college year that these girls do not respond; and their response is always whole-hearted and effective. They have NEVER fallen down in any undertaking that they have attempted—that is, any undertaking that we know of, and we are not permitted to know just everything. We think that it would be in order here to call to the front the “man of wire and wind” and give three cheers for Chi Delta Beta. Alright, Toofie, do your duty. This bunch of husky young voices began their careers singing such ditties as “Bury Me Not On a Lone Prairie, as they beat the bony end of a pair of West Texas mules down some corn-row. Perhaps it was for that very reason, or rather because of that very reason that Mr. Meyer suddenly appeared before them in chapel, as Jesus did before the gamblers and money changers in the Temple, one night and drove them out into the dark. With righteous indignation he declared them defunct as an organization, and formed in their stead a double quartette. THE TRAIL has a moan to make because they became defunct just at the opportune moment to avoid paying their organiza- tion dues. It is barely possible that they might possibly have paid up if they had lived a few months longer. Hardly probable, however. f OIk Orail 1922 Obe Orail 1922 School of z-Art MRS.

Daniel Baker College is very proud of her art school. It is not headed by a person whose purpose is mercenary, but by a real artist. Mrs. Morris has been with the College faculty longer than any present member (excepting Zack ), and is one of the most loved and respected in all that august assembly. The art exhibit that Mrs. Morris and her pupils placed before the public last commencement might well have graced the art gallery of some great university. We hope that the day may soon arrive when there shall be ample room for this important department. Art should be the MOST important feature of a college education, for what is life without beauty and imaginative thought? All students should at least know how to appreciate art.

Z5rail 1922 I The Q) I lege Publications THE two publications of the College, THE TRAIL and THE DANIEL BAKER COLLEGIAN, have always been very dear to the hearts of the students and friends of the College. THE TRAIL has never been a very large annual, because of the limited subscription list, but it has always striven to uphold the standards of college annual publication. The COLLEGIAN is a monthly magazine that is enjoyed not only by the student body but is widely read in town and amongst the Alumni. This year we have striven to improve the annual by the addition of some forty pages to the usual number, the use of color work, and improved methods known only to such printers as those we have employed. Nothing but first class material is going into the book this year as you can see. Everything is being done for this book that can be done for an annual of its size and limi- tations of written material and pictures. The COLLEGIAN has changed its form within the last two years from the old-fashioned almanac style to a more modern and up-to-date publication. It is a live college paper with the very snappiest athletic stories and write-ups. The town paper hasn’t a thing on this little journal when it comes to news- gathering. There is a third publication of which we fain would speak. It is something in the nature of a “dark horse,” a sort of a mimeographic Pretender! There are contained within its bounds certain bits of profound wisdom which point it out as the work of certain philosophically minded JUNIORS, who have very appropriately and modestly resigned the burden of the honor of this work onto the sedate shoulders of the Faculty! May it ever redound to the honor and glory of Harry Knox, Jr., and his indomitable fellow-classmen that they have done this noble and generous thing! Vive!

McWhenny, for- merly of Brownwood, but now of San Antonio, Texas. It is a very interesting collection of geological specimens, Indian relics and other curios representing over thirty years of painstaking labor on the part of the donor. Its material value cannot be estimated. Perhaps one of the most inter- esting features of the collection is the group of old Spanish pistols. There are a number of varieties of the earliest known types of this firearm. There is the little flint gun of the time of Cortez, the revolving muzzle-loader of the time of Santa Anna and our own Civil War, and other makes fitting into dates in between these periods. We see big horse pistols like Sir Walter Scott speaks so fondly of in his tales of Waverly. We see the dueling pistol like the one pictured in the hand of Aaron Burr as he killed Alexander Hamilton. Not a small item in this collection is the full regalia of a South American Indian. The quiver and native-made arrows, the greasy bow, the belt, several varieties of spears, and all the standard accoutrements of a noble savage are included in this group. Besides these things there are many and various things of a miscellaneous nature, each a storehouse of interest in itself. We should be foolish to attempt to catalogue all the interesting features of the collection here. We are glad to report, thanks to the efforts of Mr. Mackay, that this won- derful gift to the College has at last been brought from its place of obscurity in the storeroom and is now on exhibition in the reading room. It is cased in neat glass-fronted shelves where anyone visiting that busy place may loiter for a few profitable seconds out of each day of the year.

It must be the Presbyterian Happy Hunting Ground from the de- scriptions that we have of it from those who frequent i t s shades and lave in its running waters! Everything is to be had there that a decent man might enjoy, they say. People go to Kerr- ville to spend the summer vacation playing and praying! , for Daniel Baker College has her own club house at the resort where those who go there as Daniel Bakerites have the right and privileges to ‘‘put up. The old College is usually very well represented, more especially during the Summer Encampment of the Presbyterians. Dr. Chandler, several members of his family, and a lively group of students from the College spent ten wholesome days there this past vacation and report a very lovely trip. There were several members of our dignified and AUGUST Faculty in the party also, (as may be seen in the ‘‘snaps” shown above!) Although the greater part of the time was spent in Bible study, we are told, and in the simpler out-door sports, yet there were (pstldon’t let the preachers hear this!) some other minor sports that came in—or rather the younger members found them further down the river. It wasn’t a dance hall, but there was a lot of music and some people can’t be still when their feet won’t be still. Oh, that Kerrville must be some place! Among the many things that we like to remember about old Daniel Baker College we must of a necessity number this man Porter. Though he is now gone to another school in old Kentucky, he is still con- sidered an integral part of the Old College. A man of Mr. Porter's type cannot live in a town or associate with a people without in- fluencing them, nor can he hold the position of dean in a college for over eighteen years without his very personality becoming a part of that institution. He is one of those men whose full influence cannot be felt until he is gone, rather inclined to make light of his own ac- complishments, and always ready to help the other fellow—if that other fellow will only consent to be the butt of a few dozen jokes. To those of the upper classes especially, this page will mean more than perhaps any other in this entire book. We have known the man and the work he has done for the College. £3b Orail 1922 By Maurice Coke The hills call, the dew-glad morning hills, Above the dust and fever of the plain!

And afar off the twilight comes To send me to the land of dreams. The murmuring voice of the wintry wind, The dancing shades through dark vales creep; Ah, and a night of infinite forgetting!

Page Ilk oIk Orail 1922 i The San ThCarcos Trip T L ON hand here in the park at 4:30 in the morning.” These were the X) words of the coach on Wednesday afternoon, the last instructions before we met him in the park the following morning. It was with difficulty that some of the boys managed to get up at that early hour and be ready for the long and tiresome trip of over two hundred miles to San Marcos in automobiles. We were leaving town a long time before daylight—about the hour of five as 1 remember. There were four cars of us—a Hudson Super-Six in the lead, driven by the head driver; a Hupmobile with “Shorty” Craig at the wheel; a Dodge with Witherspoon driving; and a lonely Ford bringing up the rear under the splendid chauffeurship of the coach. The early morning air of late October was uncomfortably cold, and as most of us left our overcoats at home, we had to shiver and shake until the sun was an hour or more high. The drivers behind eagerly pushed up near those in front with the result that the boys behind were literally covered by the dust raised by those in the lead. When we got to Goldthwaite and stopped for breakfast, we all realized that we had begun a trip that would in the end be almost killing, and yet the boys took it in the best nature and went on their way joking and jesting as if they were out for a holiday. In the restaurant at Goldthwaite the boys invaded the kitchen and it was not until the cook had given each of them a liberal helping of “ham and eggs that the kitchen was rid of the hungry crowd. After breakfast we crawled in the cars and set out for Lampasas. The novelty of the trip was beginning to wear off. At Lampasas the Ford needed a new rear wheel and for that reason we were able to stay more than an hour in that dusty city. From here we started on the second lap of our journey, from Lampasas to Georgetown. We threaded our way over the hills and through the valleys, boiling up the dust of the roads to settle down on those behind. Much of the road had been newly worked and even though we went along at a moderate speed, we suffered from the severe jolting as all can testify. Once, in George- town, we forgot that we were tired, dirty and almost sick from our long ride when we sat down to the table in the restaurant to eat our dinner at the late hour of four. (The writer here inserts that at that time he had very vivid remembrances of a baseball game that was played in that place the spring before.) Revived by our dinner, we set out on the third lap of our journey, from Georgetown to Austin. On this lap we did not suffer from the dust so much because of the recent rains in that section and because the last ten miles of that lap was on the tarviated road leading into the magnificent capital city, Austin. The coach had previously planned that we should “work out” in Austin that afternoon, but we failed to get there soon enough, arriving there as the sun was setting behind the cedar hills to the west of the city. The coach and the boys in the Ford were the first in, and went to the University grounds where the coach hoped to find Belmont, the Director of the University Z3be Orail 1922 Athletics, and secure from him free passes for us to the Texas-Rice game that was to be played two days hence, the day after our game at San Marcos. This was Thursday. On the morrow we were to play a game with the “Bobcats” of the Southwest Texas Normal. We spent the night in Austin. We met many of our old friends who were at the University; the writer was especially pleased to meet his old roommate, Sadler, and also Kennedy both of whom were Daniel Baker students last year. We spent a very pleasant night in Austin and were up prepared to go to San Marcos early in the day. The boys tell it on Bill Knox that in attempting to put out the lights before going to bed the night before, he made the mistake of ringing for the porter who was disappointed to find that it was a fake call. Early in the morning showers came up from the west and passed eastward, leaving the sky clear and the air delightful for our thirty-mile ride over the paved roads to San Marcos. By ten o’clock we were in San Marcos and put up in our favorite hotel, the Williamson. After eating the limited meal that the coach had prescribed, we all took our “nap” before the game; and by 3:30 we were all out on Evans Field in full uniform, ready to meet the “Bobcats.” The game was characterized by repeated fumbling on the part of our boys and then we realized that the long and tiresome trip had made us all “dead on our feet.” Between halves the coach gave a good “bawling out” in the hope that by that means he would settle down the fellows to consistent playing. We left the field glum, badly beaten—and knew that the coach would have more to say to us later. Sure enough, after supper, the coach called us into his room in the hotel and there tried to find out the cause of our failure that day. All were frank to admit that it was not the Coach’s fault, but their own and all as- serted their full confidence in “Gillie,” pledging to take his advice more seriously. The coach asked that we put aside our troubles and go to the party held in our honor. Some say that “Shorty” came very near being “vamped” by one of the fair maids at the reception! We spent the night in San Marcos, and Saturday morning we drove over to Austin. Here five of the boys left us and went on home in the Ford, while the remainder of us stayed over to see the Texas-Rice game that afternoon. The Longhorns cleaned up on the Houston Owls in good fashion to the tune of 56 to 0. After the game we took supper down town at the Roger’s Cafe and im- mediately after left on the second lap of our return journey, hoping to get as far as Lampasas that night so that we would not have to travel so far on Sunday. We got into Georgetown without mishap about nine o’clock. Leaving there we attempted to evade the newly-worked roads that we had traversed on our way down by returning by way of Florence. About a mile and a quarter out of town we took the road to the left according to the instructions given us. After traveling quite a distance we decided to stop and ask if we were on the right road. We were, that is, according to the instructions that ure received. Time after time the road seemed to end in the brush and the creek bottoms. Were we lost? In our quandary as to what to do, the coach sent Knox to a farm house to find out the way. Knox came back and calmly reported that the farmer said to “go north!” How in the world did we know which way was Obc t5rail 1922 north? Lane and I laughed at Bill till we came very near crying and still Bill could see nothing funny and was continually asking that we tell him what we were laughing about so that he might laugh too. We went on a little farther and asked some fellows on horseback if we were on the right road to Florence. Well, we had traveled twenty-six miles since we had left Georgetown and yet we were within four miles of that place and headed straight for it! It was twelve o’clock and well,—it just took the joy out of life to think that we were a long distance from Lampasas yet. But we laughed when we thought of how funny it would have been had we not met the riders and had driven into George- town after having traveled thirty miles. After all we had to go back over the newlv-worked road. We were almost frozen by the night air that grew colder toward morning. At three o'clock we drove into Lampasas cold, tired, sleepy, and only too glad to find a good warm bed. About eight o’clock the next morning we ate breakfast and made ready for the last lap of our weary journey. At three o’clock that afternoon wre got into Brownwood dirty, tired, worn out and glad as we could be to get back home after an absence of more than three days during which time we had traveled more than four hundred miles, played a game of football, and witnessed another. Through it all we had enjoyed the trip together, and yet how glad we were when the coach said to us a few days later, “Our next trip, boys, will be on the train.” —E. R. Land. Excitement Do you remember the dashing young heroes who rode madly on the field between periods in the Meridian slaughter? Do you remember the hand- some figures of the re- doubtable Thomas Nelson Page and Karl Zeno In- gram as they manfully bestrode their powerful Mexican chargers? There was the fluttering of the ladies’ handkerchiefs from the grandstand, urging the heroes on! There was the martial aire floating up from the college band as it struck up the old tune of “Fiddlesticks.” While on the field of strife itself the opposite sides sat their chargers firmly, glowering at each other! Opposed to the Knights Page and Ingrum the two Black Knights of Ig- norance, Townsend and Guthrie, sat impatient on their powerful mounts, handling their trusty broomsticks nervously. Evidently it was to be a dirty and bloody battle, from the determined countenances of both sides. Then, the signal was given! Horseman rushed against horseman! Broom- stick clashed with broomstick! The badly abused ball lay complacently on the side-line while the noble participants rolled unhorsed in the dust. Again and again this side and that charged! Then Gillie’s dusky eleven came rushing on the field, and after it the speedy Methodists from Meridian. The knights retired worn and fatigued to rest their noble limbs and steeds, and the battle was continued by the plebeians of the gridiron. After all, this is the age of infantry! The noble knight is a thing of the past!

The three Persbyterian colleges of the state have camp houses, where any of their students are entitled to The Daniel Baker camp house is located on the most beautiful and conven- ient lot in the camp. It consists of a large reception room, a long sleeping porch, a dressing room, and a front porch. Any ex-student of Daniel Baker may also live in this clubhouse upon the payment of a registration fee of two dollars and a half. There is a tabernacle where all the talks, programs, and other services are held. There is a woman’s building, in which the women may entertain; and a woman’s dormitory. There is also the dining hall, which accommodates three hundred people. Any boy or girl, by placing applications with the officials of the encampment, can wait on tables in the dining hall to earn his room and . 5 board. There are a number of religious advantages to be had in Kerrville. All of the best ministers in the south go there during the summers and give interesting talks. There are numbers of Bible study classes and S. S. teachers’ training classes, which are conducted by experts. Foreign missionaries on vacation in America go to Kerrville and tell very interesting things about their work. Orali 1922 Everyone has the privilege of studying under an expert Sunday School teacher and associating with unusual Christians. We also get a better view of the work of the church and of the Christian Endeavor. There is a “Merry Makers’ Club” in camp, composed of all the young people. The purpose of this club is to arrange socials and entertainments for camp visitors. These “Merry Makers” plan the moonlight swimming parties, the sunrise breakfasts, chicken suppers on the river, watermelon feasts, and moonlight hikes to Mt. Livy. The Gaudalupe River furnishes a marvelous swimming hole. There are several tennis courts in camp, as well as a baseball diamond. Student Conference week which comes about the last of July is the most interesting for young people. At this time there are three or four hundred boys and girls in camp. Another interesting time is College Week. At this time Austin College, Texas Presbyterian College, and Daniel Baker College give their annual stunt parties and receptions. With all these advantages, together with a wonderfully cool climate, Kerr- ville is an ideal place to spend your summer vacation. Reported bv Anna Elizabeth Hall. Orail 1922 The IVinter Term Intersociety T)ebate On the night of March the seventh the McClellands gave the Delta Kappa Sigma Society an ungodly walloping. We are not sure whether this should go in “The Things We Like To Remember” or not, because it was no very pleasant thing for half of the school. But the Coggins and McClellands will like to remember it, and the Greeks can just close their eyes as they turn past this page! The D. K. S. were well represented by Mr. Harry Knox, Jr., and Martin D. Clary, both of whom did justice to the affirmative of the question: “That the United States Should Remit the Debts Owed by the Allied Nations to Her.” Mr. Ernest G. Cade and James Doyle Stallcup carried off the unanimous decision of the judges, however, upholding the negative argument. They are both young debaters from the lower classes and the McClellands are very proud of them. Altogether, the debate was a howling success, and showed plainly that Daniel Baker has some very good debaters. They have not had a great deal of experience, but with time and good coaching they will develop into good debaters. “The Trail ‘Box Supper “The Trail” management announced a box supper to be held immediately after the debate on March 7th, and several of the students responded. After the boxes were sold at auction a cake was produced by Miss Anna Elizabeth Hall and it was announced that the man placing the last nickel in the plate should get the cake. After a half hour's scramble to get the nickels in the plate the cake was finally sold to Maurice Coke, who had held back his last coin till everyone else was broke. Then the boxes were opened and a general good time followed. Very few girls responded to the invitation to bring boxes. How- ever, that does not alter the fact that a few genuine old-fashioned loyal girls are still in the college. Diamonds are valuable because of their rarity. Charcoal is made of the same element as that which con- stitutes the diamond, but any old chip can be a charcoal! Ob i Z5rait 1922 Obe Oruil 1922 The ■'-Alumni The Alumni of Daniel Baker College never lose sight of their Alma Mater. It is a tribute to the grand old institution to hear repeatedly from the Alumni, many of whom have gone hence to the great universities, that they still consider Daniel Baker College the greatest in the world—the nucleus of the universe of knowledge, if you please. Jim Greer writes us from Colorado; and, in spite of the fact that he has taken unto himself lately “the most wonderful woman in the world” to wife, affirms his old interest in the College. Hervey Hart, a recent graduate of the In- stitution, writes us from New Mexico that he is “sitting on the World” since he has become affili- ated with a big insurance company there; but, in the midst of all his prosperity, he forgets not his Alma Mater, and asks that we be sure to reserve a copy of the annual for him. These are but two of the more familiar instances of loyalty and devotion to the College, instances which have come to our especial notice. There are hundreds others. We desired greatly to incorporate a good page or two of kodaks of the old students in this book, but they were all too modest to contribute pictures. However, we managed to steal a few for the purpose. Ot)£ Orati 192 2 m The Four Societies There is nothing which testifies more as to the real worth of a young person’s college life than an ability to stand before an audience and deliver himself in an intelligent way of the things that he has acquired in that period of educational development. The ability to think in crises, on the spur of the moment, means much. For this purpose there are four well organized debating and literary societies in Daniel Baker College. They have turned out some of the very best citizens as well as public men of note in the state. The Delta Kappa Sigma Society is the oldest in the school. It was organized in prehistoric times we suppose from what the members say. It has a great record of achievements behind it, among which are a few victories over the McClellands. “Let this industrious organization thrive,” we say with a loud voice of commendation. The Pi Alpha Society is a girls’ society and was taken from the ribs of the Delta Kappa organization, we think. Whether they were made of a Delta Kappa rib or not, they surely do stick” with the brother society in maintaining their antiquity and claiming high prestige. The Pi Alphas are workers of the very highest efficiency. The McClelland Society of boys was named in honor of Dr. Mc- Clelland, founder of Daniel Baker College. Back about the time of Abraham there came a split in the old Delta Kappa Society, even as there was between Lot and Abraham, and the McClellands went up into the hill country while the Delta Kappas set their tents toward Sodom and Gomorrah! Thence on they were two different organiza- tions. From the slowness with which they do things, however, we believe that the Chosen People are in bondage at present—not in Egypt but in Indifference. The Coggin Society was named in honor of the Coggins, who have done so much for the College. It is a girls’ society, the sister society of the McClellands. It came into being about the time that Isaac sent for Rebekka, the most beautiful woman in the world (as usual). These little ladies are always on the job—even if their brothers do get lazy and fall down. The Coggins’ were the very first to pay their organization dues to “The Trail.” (We suggest that they try to think up some way to get enough money together to pay the Mc- Clellands’ too—since the poor fellows are dead broke it seems!) £3b t t3rail 1922 iv Z5b £ Orail 1922 bc Orati H| 1922 Members Harry Knox, Jr. E.

Rev. T. M. Cunningham enriched the daily chapel programs with unusually good song services, not to speak of the most excellent personal touches in solo work. Perhaps there was something besides his power of song that enhanced some—he’s unmarried they say! Dr. A. F. Cunningham of San Angelo—he disclaims any kinship to Rev. Tom except as a Christian brother—did the preaching. His sermons were not sensational, evangelistic or emotional; but he preached straight from the shoulder, talked sense, and made his hearers more fully appreciate the meaning of that deeper religion of Christ to which the old Presbyterian Church has always adhered. Even though his hearers did not all agree with some of his doctrinal argument, all were forced to admit that he put it forth forcibly. It is to be regretted that the world has not more such preachers as Dr. Cunningham, more men who can prove their religion rather than assert it. A man cannot be converted without a change of heart they say; but, frankly, we think that the essential thing is a change of mind. Dr. Cunningham cer- tainly dealt with the mental phase of religion, he made men think; and thinking men seldom go far wrong.

And it came to pass that in Daniel Baker were two pedagogues; and one was wise, and the other foolish. 2. And when the morning was come the wife of the foolish peda- gogue spake thus unto her husband: 3. Professor, go thou down unto the dining room and bring hither my breakfast. 4. If thou wilt do that I shall lie in bed until 11 A. M. 5. But the foolish pedagogue replied thusly and in these words: 6. Nay Woman, the food which thou eatest thou shalt snatch from the table with thy own hand. 7. Arise, therefore, take up thy bed and walk even unto the dining room in the Catacombs of the building. 8. So the spouse of the foolish pedagogue did as her lord com- manded her. 9. And when the eleventh hour was come, the foolish one spake thusly unto his wife: 10. I fain would fill me up with the remnants of this morning’s repast; but alas, I was much afraid to carry anything away from the table lest my fellowmen think me greedy. 11. And by the time luncheon was announced, the foolish peda- gogue was so faint from hunger that it took all the strength of his servants to carry him to the dining room. 12. But the wise pedagogue, when the morning was come, spake thus unto his better half: 13. Nay, get thee not out of bed; 14. For lo, I will wait on thee always, even unto the end of the 15. Stay thou in the bed until the sun is well over the treetops, and I will bring thee thy breakfast. 16. Even between the periods of my classes will I hasten unto thee to see that thou wantest nothing. 17. And thou shalt live off the fat of the land; 18. If there be pie, thou shalt have pie; and if there be naught save beans, verily thy plate shall be filled to running over with them. 19. And the wife of the wise pedagogue did as she was bid; and ere her lord had put on all his raiment she was again in the land of dreams. 20. Then, the wise one hied him away to the dining room in the Catacombs of the building; Ohe Orail 1922 21. And when he had eaten his fill, he spake thus to the waiter who stood afar off: 22. Ho! Varlet, bring unto me a platter, yea fourscore and ten 23. Bring thou also three cups and four large wash-tubs; 24. For my better half lieth sick abed in her boudoir, and she must have nourishment. 25. Yea, I fain would take her much food, therefore will I take with me to my dwelling only three slices of pie, two bowls of soup, three slabs of bacon, one quart of beans, and four verses of coffee. 26. So the wise pedagogue staggered over the campus to his class room, and he deposited the provisions in his good strong closet, and he bolted the door, and he made fast the lock thereof. 27. Then, at the end of each class, he visited the store of food and satiated his spacious stomach’s craving for food. 28. And there was enough to last him two thousand days; 29. And he waxed fat and much joy filled his heart. 30. Therefore, verily, verily, I say unto thee; 31. In whose shoes wouldst thou be at the eleventh hour of the morning—in those of the wise or the unwise pedagogue? 32. Take heed, O thou my son, and follow thou in the path of the wise pedagogue; 33. For he who followeth in the path of the wise pedagogue shalt become sleek and fat, even as is the Poland China pig. 34. But he who followeth after the foolish pedagogue shall famish ere the eleventh hour of the morning. —Chap. Ill of the Second Epistle of Fowler. (F.ditor's note: The above was written by W. Y.
