REVERIES
Today is Armistice Day. It is
the day on which we pay tribute to
those dead who tho dead yet live
with us because of what they have
given for their country. Now that
they have gone on leaving our
country and the world "safe for
democracy" our contributing must
be to keep that world In just such
a state. Mrs. Crowell herself a
Gold Star mother offers a thought
concerning this in her lines:
"All wars are useless let
there be no more!
We shall not have a part in this
mad thing.
You can not take the fine sons
that we bore
And offer them for bloody
slaughtering.
Consult the mothers of the
earth O men
And there will never be a war
again!
Tomorrow our boys are going
after another of those Conference
wins. The Christians are prac-
tically in the same position now
that our team was two years ago
when the jinx worked. There is
no reason why that jinx should
not be turned the other way. At
any rate everyone knows that
there is a big possibility of a win.
Daniel Baker played its best game
against Austin College really out-
playing them. So that only adds
up to the fact that the Billies
have just as good a chance for
a win as their opponents. Which
is all just a way of saying that
they are going to need the sup-
port of every member of the stu-
dent body and that everyone who
can should make the trip and pre-
vent the Wildcats from having a
perfect homecoming day.
Speaking of games we are just
before saying that the game last
week was a typical Hill Blllle
game. The boys showed that they
can really play football and they
proved that they are good sports
too. Anybody can play a 'football
game but it takes real men to
play a game fairly. That was a
good clean game and it was the
kind that Daniel Baker wants.
The only dirt we saw was on the
field and that 'was plenty muddy
there. But that doesn't count I
guess.
Now comes a trite phrase
there is no other way to say It
other than patronize your adver-
tisers. Those business establish-
ments who are interested enough in
the school and its activities to ad-
vertise with your school paper
deserve your support. There is
really no reason why you should
take your trade to a man who has
no interest whatever in what you
are doing. On the other hand
when business people realize that
you feel that way they will become
more interested in what we out here
on the hill are doing.
With all ofthe activities that
have already taken place and the
events that are being planned for
the near future with the new or-
ganizations that have been formed
on the campus it looks as if a jolly
year is ahead.
From the Associated Collegiate
Press we learn of a fine Imposed
upon Nino Martini Metropolitan
opera tenor in a kangaroo court at
the University of Iowa for viola-
tion of the Men's Week code. The
offenses committed by Mr.-Martini
according to those testifying
against him were: wearing a neck-
tie and walking with two co-eds.
The sentence made against him:
that he kiss both the coeds in
public. "That" said Mr. Martini
"is more like it." He complied
without'ado.

Christian Groups
Make Plans For
loint Meet Soon
Meeting jointly for the second
time in the history of the two
local colleges the councils of the
B. 8. U. of Howard Payne and
of the Christian Students Associa-
tion of Daniel Baker met Monday
night to discuss their plans for the
joint meeting between the two
student bodies to be held Novem-
ber 29. The meeting will be at
the First Presbyterian Church.
Continuing the precedent laid
down by the two groups last
spring the Christian Students As-
sociation made plans to entertain
the students of the Baptist college
this fall. Since the program last
year was held in the First Baptist
church the First Presbyterian
church was offered as a meeting
place for this year's gathering.
Depending upon the condition of
the weather the affair will be held
either on the church's lawn or in
the basement of the church.
Since the Presbyterians are the
hosts for the occasion the plans
are to present a Baptist speaker
to the group. The evening's pro-
gram will begin with a worship
service at which time an address
will be made by the speaker that
is to be chosen. Following this
the group will gather either on the
lawn or in the basement for a social
hour.
Committees are being selected
to make the detailed arrangements
of the program during the service
and the social hour that is to con-
clude it As soon as these have
been chosen they will meet to make
the final plans.
Members of the entire student
bodies of both of these institutions
are urged to reserve the night of
Tuesday November 29 for the
joint meeting.
Assortment of Boxes
' Auctioned At Supper
Large boxes small boxes red
boxes blue boxes boxes with
bows boxes with ribbons boxes
with flowers boxes with fruit
boxes of every shape and size
trimmed with every conceivable
design but all filled with delicious
food. That was the feature of the
box supper held jointly by the
girls of "the SOS and the Beta
Epsilon boys for the students of
the campus last Friday night.
The boxes were auctioned to
the highest bidders by Bill Brook-
over. Although no one was sup-
posed to know to whom the box
belonged occasionally there was
evidence of bits of frame work
that had taken place.
After the boxes had all been
sold the Daniel Baker bus was
loaded with about fifty picnicers
and drove to the end of Coggin
Street where horses and a wagon
loaded with hay were waiting for
the students. A hay ride was the
means of conveyance to the place
near the woods where a large bon
fire was waiting. Here the boys ate
their lunch with the girls to whom
the box belonged that he had pur-
chased. Co-Eds And Band
In Parade Today
Blllie Co-Eds girls pep squad
and the Hill Blllie band represented
Daniel Baker this morning in the
annual American Legion parade
commemorating Armistice Day in
the festivities of that day.
The marching of the two groups
in the parade is the first appear-
ance of either in a civic event. The
only other events at which either
have taken part have been the
football games and various activ-
ities of the school.

"Old Apple Tree In the Orchard"
presented by the members of the
Freshman class was the skit that
won thm rt nlar nrlze Tueadav
night when the Junior class spon-
sored the annual stunt night. The
Spanish club and the Coggin Soc-
iety were awarded second and third
places respectively.
Alomst every organization in the
school was represented when fif-
teen stunts were presented at the
affair by the members of the
various groups. This was the
largest representation ever to be
made in a stunt night at Daniel
Baker.
"Ferdinand the Bull" was the
stunt that took runner-up laurels
in the stunts. In this Lillybud
Denman read the lines while Bon-
nard Lee starred as Ferdinand. The
Coggin girls showed their ability
to act when Rubilee Smith was the
neroine in - jropuiamy woo wu
courted by several different boys.
The proceeds will be used by the
Juniors to sponsor the annual ban-
quet to be given by that class for
the graduating seniors near the
close of the school term.

OtUdentS Reply
Today is Armistice Day. Twenty
years ago on this day a truce was
signed which officially ended the
World War into which almost
every nation in the world had
entered. Today twenty years
later in commemorating the close
of the great war the central topic
of the moment is not the old war
but the aversion of such a situa-
tion. In considering a question
for the week our inquiring re-
porter has made the following
interrogation: "What would you
do in case of another World War?"
Most of her answers are interest-
ing. They proved that tho people
are against war they would be
ready to help to defend their
country in case such a calamity
befell it. Here are her answers:
Julian Tomlinson: "If America
were involved I'd want to fight.
But if it involved only European
countries we should stay out."
Sammie Morris: "Help out any
way I could. Go and be a nurse
I guess."
Bill Fulton: "Enlist and do my
part in Uncle Sam's navy."
Fanelia Hicks: "I'd stay at
home but help any way that I
could."
Robert Farris: "Try to get in
the Medical Corps or somewhere
my chemistry might be applied. Of
course I'd make every effort for
peace."
Bonnard Lee: "Cut off my
thumb."
Vivian Clendenen: "I'd be a
nurse."
Paul Gregory: "I'd wage a
chemical warfare and make stink
bombs."
Bilr McBrayer: "I'd volunteer
as a matter of routine tho deep
down in my heart I shouldn't feel
as if I were doing justice to myself
by doing so."
Melton Smith: "I've thought
about it a lot and I hardly know
what to do but I'd volunteer I
think to help my country if she
needed me."
Maebtlle Fitsgcrald: "My am-
bition la to be in the Medical
Corps anyway so I would do my
part in that line. But why not
have peace for peace loving Amer-
icans. We like our Armistice."

Speaking on the coordination of

fication that you maybe tomorrow
what you want to be today he
gave many helpful suggestions as

Expansion
Rev. Ben H. Moore
To Head Program
In connection with the obser-
vance of the fiftieth anniversary
ana roe reacning of the half cen-
tury mark in its years of service
Daniel Baker College has just be-
gun a new expansion program that
is to be an Important step in her
progress as an institution of learn-
ing. At a meeting of the board of
trustees of the college last Friday
mgai specially called by Judge
T. C. Wilkinson chairman of the
group for the purpose of dis-
cussing the program approval was
made of the tentative program of
ittes of the collee supposed to
raee; va cwang demands being
made uPn the school.
The program has been divided in-
to three different phases. Each
of these divisions is to center its
aim around the observance of the
golden anniversary and the goals
we expected to be reached during
the present school year. These
viues wm terminate the cele-
" - vcs-
bratlon of the birthday festivities
for the year.
The first aim of the program is
that of the payment of all of the
outstanding debts facing the col-
lege. These amounts total about
$12000. Payment of the debts
was begun more than a year ago
when plans were made to pay off
all the outstanding debts. Those
remaining are to be checked off
under the new program.
The second end to which the
members of the board are directing
their attention is that of the erec-
tion of two new buildings on the
campus. One of them is to be
built this year and the second will
be completed in the near future
it is planned.
The first building that Is to be
reected the one which is plan-
ned for this year is a new Science
hall. The second is a Library
building. A complete renovation
and modernization of the present
Administration building and the
Science hall which is to be con-
verted into a museum are also
included In the plans.
The third project facing the pro-
moters is that of increasing the
Daniel Baker endowment fund
from the present amount of about
$175000 to at least $500000. This
is perhaps the most important step
in the plans drawn up by the board
members.
To have charge of carrying out
these plans arranged by the trust-
ees the board elected Dr. Ben H.
Moore former pastor of the Austin
Avenue Presbyterian Church. Dr.
Moore will serve as executive sec-
retary and assistant to the pres-
ident in the promotion of this new-
ly arranged expansion program.
Dr. Moore last Sunday resigned
his pastorate at the Presbyterian
church in order that he might de-
vote his entire time to working on
the program. His new duties will
be taken over beginning December
1.
Rev. Moore a native of Lott was
graduated from Daniel Baker with
th" dass of 1014 receiving his A
B. and D. D. degrees at that time.
Later from the Lane Theological
Seminary in Cincinnattl he received
his Th. B. degree.
Dr. Moore had served in Pres-
byterian churches in Oklahoma
