STUDENTS
By Ye Editor
Those that have been attending
chapel for the past' week will agree
Kith mc when I say that during the
course of the week that we have had
me things brought before us that
will really put one to thinking. The
jpeakcrs of this week have been ex-
ceedingly good and have certainly
put some Interesting things before
our minds to think about.
It seem that things have been
sticking to people's hands. The Trail
office report's that someone has taken
some pictures from that place. These
were pictures that were to be used
in the annual. One may not feel that
they were taking anything of value
when he got these but they were. It
takes time to have these pictures re-
placed and also money. The Collegian
office has also found a few things
lacking. It seems that rulers arc not
to be kept in the office. Furthermore
if is also a little difficult to write up
material ahead of time and keep it
in the office. These two places are
places of business or at least they
should be. Anything found in either
of these offices should remain there
until permission is given for their re-
moval. It' is hoped that students will
read this and keep it in mind.
It seems to this writer that the
spirit in Daniel Baker is falling down.
Students do not seem to be support-
ing the school activities as they
should. If you want the people In
town to support your activities then
you should .set the example. This de-
cline in spirit may be due to the fact
that many of our students are falling
in love. Tliis inuy be true but I know
of no better place for love birds than
the concert that is to be given by the
orchestra on Sunday afternoon. I
hope that all of the students will be-
gin and come out to this concert.
At this time of the year we begin
to think of bcautlflcatlon. This can
be begun by keeping things clean.
Let's refrain from the habit of throw-
ing paper on the grounds and also
by keeping the Inside of the buildings
clean.
We nppieclate the publicity that
the Howaid Payne Yellow Jacket has
given Daniel Baker the Dast two
weeks. The issue preceding the last
carried the picture of our president
and a long .stoiy of the talk that he
made In their chapel. Thanks Gerald.
Had a paper from Austin College
the other day that carried a story
"ireeu m red. in this story was a
comment on the neat little sheet that
was put out up this way. Well boys

more than a little sheet but maybe
not. Anyway take a look at these six

D. B. ORCHESTRA
D. B. Ladies Auxiliary Presentation Last Friday
FOUR DEPARTMENTS OF
DANE BAKER COLLEGE
WERE AGAIN INTRODUCED
Program One of the
Most Attractive This
Year.
One of the most interesting pro-
grams of the year was presented on
the night of February 0 1934. This
program was sponsored by the Daniel
Baker Ladies' Auxiliary. Miss Wat-
son announced the program for the
evening. In her introduction she
brought out the fact that there is
always a power behind the throne
and that the power behind the throne
of Daniel Baker is the Ladies' Auxili-
ary. This organization is and has
been doing a large number of silent
things for Daniel Baker. The stu-
dents seldom realize just what this
organization is doing for them. They
should now begin to appreciate the
large number of things that these
women have done for the college.
The flrst numbers on the program
were presented by the Daniel Baker
orchestra. This organization is under
the direction of Miss Mae Branom.
These two numbers were received
with much enthusiasm.
The South Ward School furnished
the next entertainers for the evening.
The South Ward Glee Club sang two
numbers and the Rythm Band placed
two numbers. These are two of the
most popular groups of young enter-
tainers in Brownwood. These groups
were directed by Miss Lucy Smith of
South Ward.
The Daniel Baker girls double trio
and the Daniel Baker Girls Glee Club
presented two numbers. This club
and the trio are under the capable
ditcction of Mrs. Robert Hall. It may
be said that this organization has
done more good work this year than
any of Its kind In several years.
The band under the direction of Mr.
James E. King concluded the even-
ing's entertainment. In their part of
the program was Included a solo by
the director.
The speech arts department was
lepresented by Miss Mollie Jo Wells
who gave a very humorous and en-
joyable reading during the course of
the evening's cntertnlnment.
Howard Payne Prof.
Speak in Chanel
Wednesday
The chapel program on the morn-
ing of tho fourteenth was opened by
a vocal solo by Don Woods a pupil
of Mrs. Robert Hall. This was one
of the best numbers that tho student
body has had tho prlviledge of hear-
ing this year.
he speaker of the morning wu
Dr. M. E. Davis of Howard Payne
College. Dr. Davis is head of the
Bible department In Howard Payne.
He stated that the Bible held for its
readers the largest picture gallery
that there Is. Many of the writers
of the Bible have put into their works
many pictures and symbols. There
are tbree things that have caused the
downfall of man. They are the lust
of flesh the lust of life and the vain
power of glory. In numerous inci-
dents in this Great Book we have
references to these three temptations.
It was to these three that Jesus had
to deal when In the wilderness.
Damascus Is one of the oldest and
most beautiful cities of the world.
Never has this city been taken by
an army and only on one occasion

Baker Represented
In Debates
The Daniel Baker Debating and
Oratorical Society sent teams to the
annual West Texas Forensic Tourna-
ment at Abilene February 9-10. The
tournament was sponsored by Abi-
lene Christian College. Teams from
Trinity University McMurry College
Southwestern University Baylor Uni-
versity Baylor Belton Southwestern
Teachers College of Durant Okla.
Weatherford Junior College East
Texas State Teachers College North
Texas State Teachers College Abilene
Christian College Howard Payne Col-
leeg ind Daniel Baker College par-
ticipated. The teams representing
Daniel Baker were Emmarle Hemp-
hill and Leota Leach on the girls
team and John Paul Kilgore and Ray-
mond Green on the boys team.
The girls team met A and B teams
from Abilene Christian College and
A and B teams from Baylor Belton.
They were without victories but they
met the teams which did win the
tournamnt so we are proud of their
woik. The Baylor Belton teams went
to the finals taking all of the honors.
The boys team first met Howard
Payne and came out victorious. Trin-
ity University was their next oppon-
ents and here they were victorious.
They met Baylor University next and
lost this decision. In their fourth de-
bale they defeated Southwestern
Teachers College of Durant Okla.
Winning three debates in the flrst
picliniinarics they flrst drew a bye
and then met Baylor University
w hoi e they were again defeated. Bay-
lor University won the finals so we
think that they made a good showing
and really brought honors to our
.school. Leandcr Hall and Mrs. Mallie
Kilgore accompanied the teams to
Abilene.
The teams scouted the debates that
followed returning home with exper-
ience and learning for future debates.
Howuid Payne Is sponsoring an invi-
tation tournament next week end at
which time Daniel Baker teams will
compete.
If there are other students who
wish to participate in future forensic
activities please let It be known to
Raymond Green.
LB. GILLIAM SR. GIVEN
TWO YEAR
At 9:55 on the night of Saturday
February 9 1934 after about four
hours of deliberations the jury of the
district court returned the verdict of
guilty and assessed the penalty of
two years In the State penitentiary
against E. B. Gilliam Sr. Charges
were brought against Mr. Gilliam for
embesslement of $2300 of the funds
of Daniel Baker College on or about
December 10 1930.
The attorneys for the defense were
Johnson & Early of Brownwood Mc-
Gaugh ft Darroch of Brownwood and
Anderson of Goldthwalte. Attorneys
for tne prosecution" were District At-
torney South and Frank Sparks of
Eastland.
The flrst witness placed on the
stand by the state was Mr. Brooke
Smith. Mr. Smith said that he had
lived in Brownwood for 08 years and
TO GIVE
Leach and H. L. Lee
Are Chapel Speakers
I mm m
On Tuesday December 13 1933 the
Bachelor's Association of Daniel Ba-
ker College sponsored the chapel pro-
gram. The flrst speaker on the morn-
ing's program was the dictator H. L.
Lee. Mr. Lee said that at one time
he thought of resigning from the club
and organizing another but he decid-
ed that it would be better to keep the
place that he already had. He in-
formed the student body that this or-
ganization was not a secret organi-
zation. He feels that pillow cases and
sheets should be used only on the
beds. In other words Mr. Lee says
that this organization is in no way
similar to the K. K. K. He reviewed
all of the marriages that bad taken
place during the Christmas holidays
and tried to explain these to the stu-
dent body. His explanation was that
they were probably following the ex-
amples that' had been set up for them
by the faculty.
The next and concluding speaker
Mr. Grady Leach was introduced by
the dictator. Grady said that he felt
that the students of Daniel Baker
should start a campaign to beautify
our college. At present it seems that
the students do not consider the prop-
erty of the college as they should.
They are continually carving their
names on the walls and desks of the
college. This greatly detracts from
the looks of the college furniture. The
students in the future will be asham-
ed of the fact that they have taken
the liberty to mark up the seats In a
way that they will or may be faced
with in the future. Some students
have even gone so far as to take the
ivory keys from the pianos. This is
not only detracting from the looks of
the pianos but is destroying property.
Grady said that the song books that
were now being used in the chapel
had been bought at the first of the
year and that they now looked as
though they were several years old.
On the backs of the Seats have been
placed racks for the purpose of keep
ing the books off the floor. Grady
stated that he hoped that the students
would make use of them. One of the
most alarming things that he had no
ticed in the past few days was the
fact that someone had almost set fire
to the piano in the practice room of
the basement and if this had not been
discovered when it was the fire might
have caused damage in the building.
The students should be more careful
when and where they smoke.
This has beeu one of the best pro-
grams that the student body has
heard this year. In the estimation of
this reporter every student should
turn these facts over in his mind a
few times and profit by them.

PENALTY
that he had been a member of the
Daniel Baker School Board for forty
years. He had been secretary of the
board for a number of years in fact
since 1889. With reference to the
minutes he found that the defendant
attended meetings in August of 1930
and in May of 1931. He further stat-
ed that E. B. Gilliam was chairman
of the finance committee of Daniel
Baker College. E. B. Gilliam had
been chairman of the finance commit-
tee for four or five years. He was
mado the chairman of this committee
on the 21st of October 1922. Mr.
Smith could find nothing in the min-
utes to base bis statement that E. B.
Gilliam was continuously a member
of the board of trustees from 1922
until 1930 and would make no state-
ment. Mr. Smith could find nothing

PROGRAM
DANIEL BAKER BOYS AND
GIRLS' GLEE CLUBS WILL
ASSIST ON SACRED PROGRAM
Other Little Ships
Speech Topic
The chapel program on Friday
morning presented the Rev. Mr. Mc-
Elroy. Mr. McElroy is no stranger
to the student body having appeared
before them in the past. He took for
the text of his talk the incident re
lated in the chapter of Mark whcrel
Jesus quieted the waters that the men
might rest in safety. On this occa-
slon there were other small boats
around them that were aided. Many
of us forget to aid the small boats
that are around us. We sometimes
forget to go to Christ in behalf of
others. We should always consider
the small boats that are around this
small ship of ours. Mr. McElroy pre-
sented the motto of Dr. Sampson to
the student body. This motto -was:
"Lord of all the sins of which we
may be guilty may we never be guil-
ty of the sin of ingratitude." This
motto should be stored away by every
student and it should be used fre-
quently. H. P. BOYS' QUARTETTE
RENDER8 PROGRAM IN
DANIEL BAKER CHAPEL
The Howard Payne Boys' Quartette
paid a visit to the Daniel Baker cha-
pel last week. This quartette is com-
posed of Roy Ramsour first tenor;
Bailey Forrester second tenor; Jack
Adams baritone and Sherill Robin-
son bass. The program was opened
by a medley of piano numbers by
their pianist Miss Eddie Lake Tate.
The quartette opened their number
with "Gypsy Sweetheart." This was
followed by a medley of numbers
which included "Let ' Me Call -You
Sweetheart" "Down the River of Gol-
den Dreams" "You Tell Me Your
Dreams" and "On a Chinese Honey-
moon." This was followed by "Way
Down Yonder In a Corn Field." The
quartette sang "Moon Moon Great
and Silvery Moon" as an encore.
This was a very enjoyable program
and we hope that this group will re-
turn again.

which is on the melody of "Old Black
Joe."

Those who have had the prlviledge
of hearing this quartette will agree
that this should be interesting.
The next entcrtainmers will be the

the girls' glee club. They will sing
"By Babylon's Waters" by Smart.
These girls have been presented many
times and everyone is aware of the

sented by the Daniel Baker orchestra
and the Daniel Baker girls' glee club.
This number will be "Day Is Dying in
the West" by Sherwun.
With such talent as this to be pre-
sented to the public free the house
should be packed. We hope that no
Daniel Baker student will turn down
this opportunity.
