PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF DANIEL BAKER COLLEGE BR0WNW00D, TEXAS THE TRAIL FOREWO R D . . . Spirit! . . . Billies! . . . Fight! . . . Forgetting the purpose and design of former years, The Trail, 1937, hopes that in this book, students, exes, and friends of Daniel Baker College will relive in memory their associations with the school. We have not wished that we should publish a mere picture album; hence we have attempted to bind the book together with an industrial motif at the same time portray- ing Daniel Baker and Brownwood with respect to the future outlook of both. In salute to both the old and new students of D. B. C., whose unfailing support and co-operation has made our school what it is today, we have labored clearly to portray college life as it is on the Hill Billie Campus. The Hill Billies have had two great seasons; the runner-up position in Texas Con- ference Football Circles and the Championship in Basketball have been their rewards; and under Gene Taylor’s guidance they have won four runner-up positions and one championship. Those who are guiding and pushing our institution onward we honor; those who sup- port us always we cannot thank too much. We, the staff, have tried to give you something different. We have presented the present with respect to your future memory. If this edition can help make you staunch sons of the Hill Billie Campus, and make permanent in you that desire to hear the victorious ringing of the bell, we shall not feel our efforts have been in vain. On Baker! . . . Billies! . . . Friends, you are the mirror; your happy reflections on this book shall be our justification. The Editor We Dedicate to hits. iTlattie Q- ftobelts Wale) To one, the loyal guidance in sponsorship of our Junior and Senior years, we, the Senior Class, out of our love for her and the inspiration afforded us by her presence, dedicate this, The Trail, 1937. We are a part of the next genera- tion's future. What we have found to be sufficient the next generation will demolish, wiping out our insuf- ficiencies and faidts and creating some of their own. ORDER OF BOOKS COLLEGE ADMINISTRATION CAMPUS FEATURES PHOTOGRAPHS CLASSES ORGANIZATIONS ATHLETICS PUBLICATIONS Mighty Daniel Baker of the future, we look to you for inspiration; we shall be more proud when you attain even greater things. Staunch as the Christian belief of sent; powerful in the influence you have thrown around us—hail Baker! Your halls echo with tradition; your stately walls constitute a monument to existence. Now firm, independent, liberal. Baker forever! How far is your lofty star? To the Graduating Class of 1937: This issue of the Trail is another reminder that we have come to the end of another school year—Commencement for the class of 1937. Not so long ago, when we were “Freshmen”, this occasion seemed remote, and the way to it seemed very difficult. But we have arrived, patient with the slow-moving days and victorious over the difficulties that beset our ways. But not all the hardships of the way have been yours. I would remind you of the contribution that others have made to your progress and present condition. Without the sacrifice, and help, and co-operation, and friendship, and aid of others, you could not have reached this goal. Therefore it is my earnest hope and expectation that you shall en- deavor to repay your obligations to others, and that to this end your lives shall be channelled in wholesome service. May you live under life’s most worthy compulsion and enduring satisfaction—Service to Others. R. G. Davis, President. THE TRAIL A leader. . . Idealistic . . . Our Senior. President . . .

The “B” Association elected their sponsor, and the students by ballots selected all others. Let us suggest for the future that the “B” Association continue to elect their sponsor, and add to their elective lists, to select from among their number, the most athletic boy. Then let the student body select by ballot the most popular boy, the most popular girl, and campus sweetheart, leaving the selection of the most beautiful girl to outsiders who will select two for The Trail favorite section from photographs. What do you say, Mr. Trail Editor, 1938? The dream of that live wire, Brownwood’s Chamber oj Commerce, will some day come true, and that city, as the logical air-base for Cen- tral West Texas will attract major transport lines, bringing with them increased population. The whole city will grow then, and Daniel Baker will not be left behind. With us, the industrial dream of the present will be the commonplace of the future. “Well, I don’t know, it’s a long way up there . . .

From rugged hills and the Bayou Val- ley rise derricks and pumps, evidence that in the past Brownwood’s streets have echoed with excitement over oil discovery. Years ago, where Hotel Brownwood now stands, was dug the county s first oil well and a second well on the lot where now- stands the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Memorial Hall. Brownwood’s dramatic oil discovery spots were found when basements and foundations for Hotel Brownwood were dug and when gas began seeping through cracks in the concrete floor of the Mem- orial Hall. Many marveled in memory at the chance oil discoveries and revealed the sensational development of Brown County’s subterranean gold.

Its purpose is to encourage social associations among its members and other students on the campus. The out- standing events on the Coggins’ calendar for 1936-37 were as follows: Initiation of pledges, annual football banquet and dance on roof garden of Hotel Brownwood, dinner for pledges at Texas Cafe, skating party, dinner and theatre party for big sisters given by pledges, and the Coggin annual all night outing at Lake Brownwood.

Miss McFarland, a skating party, a steak fry at Lake Brownwood, and the annual banquet.

Glen Wagr We Honor G 6116 Tsijlor The Lone Wolf Mentor Here is a man who has won our hearts. For three years he has demonstrated his superb ability as coach of the Daniel Baker Hill Billies. Perhaps he might have been classed as the busiest man on the campus since he was athletic director in addition to coaching all sports. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram once referred to him as the “whole athletic department down at D. B. C.” Perhaps you have seen him striding across the campus, a Tarzanic statue, al- ways in a hurry. Perhaps he was overly worried about the outcome of his efforts, but you must be sure that he has put his all into his work. After graduating from Polytechnic High School and Texas Christian Uni- versity, where he starred as a half back, Mr. Taylor began his coaching career at Uvalde High School; he was then elect- ed head coach of Post High School, where he won the regional Class B Championship. Again Gene changed lo- cation, this time going to Spur. During his two-year stay there he coached two undefeated Class B teams. Daniel Baker welcomed Coach Taylor in 1934. In his three years here he has coached two runner-up football elevens, one championship basketball team and he and his former assistant, Wallace Mey- ers, together put the Hill Billie basket- bailers in second place twice. While in T. C. U. Gene evidently took a campusology course, and now he has a boss named Nell and lives with a young gentleman w h o m everybody knows as Kelly. If you have seen him some morning looking slightly sleepish perhaps it was from walking, during the night before, a newcomer named Betty Brown. We honor him because he deserves it; we have learned to appreciate his effi- cient efforts. We shall always watch your teams and for you, Gene, we wish the best of luck. Frank Coker, tackle, co-captain, played end, played brilliant football. Comical and carefree, he made football trips a pleasure. He could hit S. J. Howard, all-conference halfback, was the sing. His replacement will be a mighty problem. Hubert Davenport, end, a basketball star who was a winner on the gridiron. A good block- er and pass snagger, he did regular duty. He took time off ever so often for a nap, and no port of battle. He fared well over the McMurry Jake McCulley, end, another tall boy who pulled Skipper’s passes out of the blue. He, too, football. Jake never played high school football game. He will be hard to replace. SEASON REVIEW Daniel Baker 0, Hardin-Simmons 20: This first game of the season was played on a muddy field, and the Hill Billies saw the Cowboys really earn only one of their three touchdowns, the other two being made by McKinley, Cowboy flash, on sixty and ninety-six yard runs. Cherry drove the othei over from the nine yard line. Daniel Baker 19, Weatherford Junior College 6: In the first quarter the junior college lads inter- cepted a pass and counted for the first score. Coach Taylor immediately sent in a new line. The Billies received the kickoff and began a march which gave them a touchdown. Conger kicked goal. the last score of the night. Daniel Baker 19, St. Edward’s 13: The Tigers scored first in this battle, then moving surely but own 20-yard line, and ran 80 yards to pay dirt.

On the game was supposedly hinging the Texas fighting for the conference crown. It proved to be an exciting game, played evenly, hard-fought, before the season’s largest Brownwood football crowd. The Hill Billies took to the air when they failed to penetrate the mighty McMurry line and here you see S. J. Howard all set to toss one to Davenport. It was completed but the play was called back because of an off-side. Did the line hold? Note how well Howard is protected. Number 38 is Newton; in front of him is Coker, to his back you see Trammell preparing to block, and in the foreground Conger throws himself into a McMurry end. her excellent work. Again at the McMurry game, Sara McCreary, campus sweetheart, was formally presented to the student body and the public. In the center is Sara; to her left is “Little Gene” Taylor; and to her right is Mary Anna Davis. The two latter were mascots of the football team and Pep Squad. Here we have Head Yell Leader Leaird Meadows. His work was very much appre- ciated and he proved himself very efficient. Next, but turned crosswise on the page is the Crews High School basketball team. If you remember these boys comprised the great team that won the Daniel Baker Invitation Basketball Tournament. Mr. Taylor could use several of them. The annual Coggin Football Banquet, the highlight of all the college social activities, has been made permanent by tradition. Here the Coggin Society girls, under the leadership of Bee Hickman, honor the gridiron men of 1936. On the left border of the page and reading down we have Roy Owens, freshman yell leader, and Gwyn Davis, assistant leader. To the right in leading positions are Roy Owens and Gwyn Davis. A shot at the McMurry game proved to be most interesting. The Billies were giving all they had; likewise were the students and the band. Just for fun, take note of the facial expressions. Perhaps you never knew before just how you looked at a football game. Burl picks one up and he seemed to enjoy it to no end. It’s a long way down to the tennis courts from this third floor window. Goodgion dares you to put one on the wrong side. Not a bad backhand there either. And here is the tennis crew lined up behind the net. Left to right, Burl Williams, Todd Bowman, Roy Owens, John L. Williams, Fred Wellhausen, and Hayden Good- Beginning at the middle left and following the curve over the page you see a bit of blocking and charging practice in spring training with Mr. Ward in the back- ground watching for errors. One up is Roy Owens, freshman tennis player, chasing a hot one. Then Fred Wellhausen, another freshman, though tall as he is, stretches high to hook one near the net. We caught John L. Williams, freshman number three, preparing to slap one to the court from near the net. Here’s Burl Williams, out for a bit of recreation. It is a mighty serve he packs in that right arm. Todd Bowman, freshman number four, just takes it easy when one falls near, but drives it back with the force of a veteran. A herd of real Hill Billies hold a real Hill Billie Session. And here are some Billie line men watching and learning methods of interference and blocking. At the top center, a new play gets a test under light scrimmage conditions. In the left foreground Snodgrass comes around to the spinner. And here you have a group of girls who can, and do play a nice game of tennis. Left to right, we have Jessie Guthrie, Velma Lois Dulin, Rose Poole, Marcelle Shults, Beatrice Hickman, Jean Hardin, and Juanita Hunt. Not a bad lineup here any way you look at it.
