As We Go to Press
WrE ain't done right. So says
one member of coach Dowcy
i
Youngblood's cross country
team. The other day when we
had gotten The Collegian print-
ed and had equated down in
front of our 1-2 pint stove to en-
joy its powerful heat waves we
threw our head back like we had
paid the last installment on the
board bill when we thought ol'
how the paper was going to be
a huge success this year. But
wnue we were thus nestling in
the arms of supreme happiness
in busted somebody and wanted
to know why the cross-country
team hadn't been given some of
our high class publicity this
year. Of course this aroused our
gray matter so we set about lo
find out what the trouble was.
After turning through all our
files and renting our power of
memorization we finally found
that it was all the fault of our
cigaret-smoking associate edi-
tor Miss McNeill. We always
take the blame for our faults
and have never been slow to ac-
knowledge to the few mistakes
we have accidentally made but
we refuse to take the blame for
Christine's errors. She ain't done
right neither.
The class in fraternal civic re-
lations will nlease come to ordei
and we will have a discussion
about Lamar Floyd chief big
noise on The Yellow Jacket and
the eight cylinder ram-rod ol
Howard Payne College. Lamar
is a very interesting person and
allowing for shrinkage in the
fact that somebody talked him
into going to the wrong college
he is an outright nice fellow. The
Yellow Jacket is printed by the
same company which prints The
Collegian hence we have come to
know the beloved editor and can
even carry out an 18 caret argu-
ment with him without suffering
any measure of rudeness. Lamm
knows his editorials like T. C. U.
knows her Hill Billies and ha
had enough newspaper experi-
ence not to let out a yelp when
he has to write the entire papei
some weeks.. There is only one
thing we have against him. He
thinks an octowriter is an editor
with eight associates. Funny fel-
low him.
ASIDE from being thankful
etc. that we do not have
the gout like B. H. Murphy or
a catapillcr mustache like John
Boatright there are many other
things lor which we are thank
ful this Thanksgiving. Chief
among the things for winch we
arc thankful today is that the
sun has shined out lor the first
time in three months. And wo
fairly shriek with joy when we
think of how perhaps we can get
home again without having an-
other attack of goose-bumps. Wo
are also exceedingly thankful
that there are no more lame and
helpless hounds next door to keep
us awake during hours lormeny
devoted to sleeping. And we arc
very thankful that our neighbor;
went hunting and came back-
minus the howling canine. We
arc thankful we got our laundry
back today that we sent oil last
month and especially are we
grateful to our tailor who man-
aged to get our suit back to us
before eight-thirty baturday
night. And laying all joking
aside we arc mirthfully thank
ful we got paid yesterday for a
history book we sold let or in
some manner transferred to one
of our collogues year before last.
Incidentally Al our faithful
snuf f-dipping janitor has
brought us a present for Thanks-
giving. We have just tasted it
and it .sure is line. But we won i
let that interfere with our work.
Our work comes before ever-
tking else. Excuze us a minute.
We tasted it agizn and it is the
bczt we saw. But we must finis
hthoa work. We are remided of
a story of ye Scotzman. Pardon
uz a munite. We sure dotank
AL fe present was good.. But

ful event of its kind ever to be

pose of the Daniel Baker student

The Scribblers met in their
regular monthly meeting Thurs-
day. After roll call and the
reading of the minutes the busi-
ness of the club was attended
to.
The girls were urged to bring
money to pay for the Scribblers'
pnge in the annual. What is to
bo put on this page was discus-
sed and it was finally decided
that a shot t history of the club
placed under Ihe picture would
be suitable. A committee was
appointed to see to the writing
of this history. Christine Mc-
Neill was appointed chairman of
the committee with Ruth Gehrke
and Doris Thompson.
Then Mrs. McGhec awarded
Ruth Gehrke the prize for the
best contribution of last month.
Her winning essay was "Indian
Summer" and will appear in an
early issue of The Collegian.

BAKER'S FINAL
CLASH OF YEAR
HERE THURSDAY
The final clash of the current
football season will be staged
hero Turkey Day when the Wild
Cats of A. C. C. invade Hill Bilhe
domains.
This is not only Baker's final
game but the final for Brown-
wood unless some post-season af
fair is arranged.
The Wild Cats have a powerful
aggregation and with the sup
port of the student body coming
down via special train should
give the Billies a merry battle.
This will prove interesting for
all spectators.
Thanks to the sports writer of
the Optimist we are in receipt
of some advance "dope" on the
Wild Cat team. Beat it and
smile! since Hill Billies never
weep.
CHAPEL PROGRAM
HIGHLY ENJOYED
BY STUDENT BODY
Last Saturday morning we
were entertained by another
chapel program given by the
Fine Arts department. These
programs seem to be getting
better and better and we are
certaiplv enlrtyjmr them.
This one consisted of two' num-
bers. The first was a piano solo
entitled "The Little White Don-
key" played by that cute little
red-headed girl Mary Elizabeth
Stockton.
The last part was a reading
"Phipy's Baby" by Margaret
Dameron. We enjoyed this too
and think Freshman Dameron is
a remarkable reader for a
freshman.
SAYS BOYS WERE NICE
To A. C. C
In behalf of The Cross Coun-
try Team of Daniel Baker I
wish to express our apprecia-
tion to the boys of A. C. C. J
say and I think I can speak
for the entire team: They are
the finest and most accommo-
dating bunch of boys 1 was
ever associated with. Their
coach Eddre Weems is also
one of the most friendly fel-
lows I ever met. He seemed
just like one of the boys to us.
Shortly after lunch we went
fo the boys' dormitory which
is one of the nicest boys' dor-
mitories 1 was ever in. Mr.
Weems took us up to the boys'
room wiiore the boys turned
their rooms and beds over to
us. We could not ask for
kinder treatment than they
showed us. I only hope that
we can show them as good a
time here Thanksgiving as
Ihoy showed us in Abilene. We
will always enjoy competing
with A. C. C and will always
remember them for their hos-
pitality. '

IN GRATITUDE
For happy homes and vigorous
health
For care and love and hope
Our thanks to Thee we bring.
Of boundless beauty and sweet
sounds
Of all that's fair and good
in grateful praise we sing.
Give to our hearts high purpoeo
That to ennobling heights
Our thoughts may e'er take
wing.
Mrs. McGhee.
"Madam" replied the guard
as he grabbed her shoulders "I
am only a life saver not a hair
restorer."
Y. W. C. A.MAY
SELECT THREE
ACT PLAY SOON
The Y. W. C. A. held a short
business session last Tuesday.
Plans were made for the girls
lo shine shoes again. They will
do this soon in order to pay for
their page in the annual.
Next the play that the Y. W.
is planning was discussed. A
committee composed of Eliza-
beth Nicholson Johnnie Lee
Green and Mildred Gifford was
appointed. This committee will
select a suitable three-act play
and report to the club at a call
meeting.
Lastly the Christmas enter-
tainment of the Y. M.s was plan-
ned. This is to be in the foim
of a Christmas tree and a thea
ter party. The Christmas tree
will be in the x. W. room and
after the girls will all go to the
show. This will take place a
short time before the classes arc
dismissed for the holidays. The
girls are looking forward to this
event with much pleasant antici-
pation. LYRIC GIVES

nreview theArt ny-night per-
formance ever to be' given in this
city. All seats will be fifty cents
and the show will start promptly
at 11:45.
"We want to see how this
type of entertainment appeals to
Brownwood people" J. Clayton
Tunstill now manager of The
Lyric stated to a Collegian rep-
resentative yesterday. "We will
probably give these special mid-
night shows quite often if well
attended."
It is also noted that many of
the towns the size of Brownwood
do not have the opportunity of
seeing these mid-night frolics
this practice having been in the
past confined to larger cities.

gazed sympathetically at the
famous fullback as he leaned
wearily on the counter in the
campus drug store.
"Aw say Bo it's not as bad
as all that. What if she is high-
hat lately you'll live over it!
Give her the air; rush some oth-
er girl and before the end of
school she'll be eating out of
your hand."
"But Susie you don't under-
stand. I love Janice. I'm not
like these other guys that trail
after her 'cause she's the dean's
daughter. Anyway I'm in Dutch
with the dean now. I've busted
two courses."
"Well you'd better thank your
lucky stars you didn't bust 'em
before the football season closed.
And Bo you should worry over
that blonde dame! You're the
most popular boy at Wardsmore

three sports and the promise of
the best coaching place in the
state next year" argued his
staunch little friend as she look
COLLEGE MEET
IN WACO WILL
DISCUSS D. B. C.
Information was received by
Harry Knox Sr. president of
the Daniel Baker College Board
of Trustees that the Presbyter-
ian education committee will
meet in Waco diirinir thn wnnk
of December 1st nt which time
opportunity will be given for a
conference with the representa-
tives of Daniel Baker as to the
future status of the school. The
meeting is to be in Waco because
that city is accessible to most
of the members of the commis-
sion according lo Chnirman W.
A. Vinson of Houston.
While giving no indication of
the probable attitude of the com-
mission toward any kind of prop-
osition for continuing Daniel Ba-
ker here it was indicated in Mr.
Vinson's letter that a sympa-
thetic hearing will be given the
representatives of this city. A
delegation of trustees and other
Brownwood citizens will attend
the conference in Waco accord-
ing to Mr. Knox.

NEEDS HOUSE
KEEPER SOON
Thursday morning when the
Y. W. C. A. gave a program in
chapel the girls expressed their
desire to render much service.
The college very desirous of
helping the glrl3 believed that
they should begin thejr charit-
able campaign at home ; thereup-
on "Nigger" Prescott suggested
that the girls start their work at
the "White House."
The "White House" (not Pres-
ident Hoover's home) is located
on Austin avenue. It has five
rooms sleeping porch and hall.
The general appearance of the
place leaves the impression that
a large family of negroes has
just moved otu. However from
reliable sources it is discovered
that Daniel Baker boys still live
there.
Cleaned Last August
"Nigger" believes that much
good will lie accomplished if the
girls merely elenn the house and
yard. George Sullivan snys he
really didn't think that the yard
needed cleaning as he cleaned it
thoroughly last August.
. It has been suggested that the
girls provide some new window
paries and also some new shades.
(The boys are getting modest.)
The house has no ceiling no wall
paper and no cuspidors. Y. W
C. A. girls sec what can be done
about this!

"The worst part is" continued
the moody hero "Janice has dat-
ed herself up for the Senior hop
with that rich guy from Wyom-
ing. He's the one I'm most afraid
of with his money his car and
his pull with her pa. Gosh Su-
sie what's a fellow to do?"
With this desperate question
ho raised his eyes and looked at
the girl behind the counter. It
was a good thing for Susie that
Bo was so engrossed with his
own sorrow or he would have
seen the tender gleam in her
gaze. Quick as a flash she mus-
tered her smile and exclaimed
gaily :

could have her jealous of me in a
mighty short time. And Susie

MRS. TRAPP
MAKES FINE
TALK TO Y. W.
The Y. W. C. A. girls gave a
very interesting program in cha-
pel last week. They are striv-
ing to make their organization
bigger and better and this pro-
gram was a furtherance of that
idea especially Mrs. Trapp's
talk.
Elizabeth Oxford gave a very
humorous reading. Of course
funny things appeal to us so
this suited us. The title of this
reading was "Husbands Are
Husbands." The main character
was a negro woman who seemed
to know what she was talking
about since she had had four
husbands with which to experi-
ment. Next we heard two selections
played by Isadora King on her
jazz pipe. These two numbers
wore "Breakaway" and "When
There's a Rainbow There Must
Be Ruin." Those were especially
enjoyable becauso they were well
played and most of the girls had
never heard one of these jazz
pipc3. Miss King was accom-
panied by Sonoma Williams.
Mrs. Trapp Talks
The subject of Mrs. Trapp's
talk was "The Y. W. C. A." Sho
began by saying that it is a very
large as well as old organization.
"The Y. W. C. A. was reorgan-
ized in 190G from two former
organizations. There are over
one-half million members in the
United States alone. Tho head
of the United States Y. W. C. A.
is in New York while tho center
of the international organization
is in London" Mrs. Trapp said.
"The aim of the Y. W. C. A. is
to give every young woman that
which she most needs. Its work
is divided into about three dif-
ferent parts. One has to do with
the welfare of girls who are stu-
dents in colleges another deals
with the girl In the rural dis-
tricts) and in small towns and
