Next week end we will have a large
number of graduates and ex-students
of Baker with us. November 6 has
been selected for the annual home.
coming exercises of the school and a
program has been arranged for the
entertainment of the ex-students and
the present students. However that
day has been set aside primarily for
the ex-students of the college. Every
student Is requested to do his part In
making the day a success for our
guests.
We have no Idea yet Just how many
alumni will be present but we are all
hoping that weather and other con-
siderations will enable us to have the
best reunion that Baker has experi.
enccd. Members of the publicity
department have been writing letters
to parents of present students for
weeks now and an Invitation to the
exes Is included In the columns of The
Collegian this week. A copy of the
paper will be mailed to every former
student who can bo contacted.
Practically every organization In
the school will have some part on the
program during the day. The band
and other musical organizations will
make frequent appearances and the
Hill Billy football team will climax
the celebration for the exes when they
meet the McMurry Indians in one of
the most important conference games
of the season.
With this little discussion we will
leave the exes for the present but we
hope that every student will do his
best to make the reunion Daniel Ba-
ker's best.
What did you think of the first
guest editorial last week? There is
another In the editorial columns this
week. Read It and see what the busi-
ness men of the city have to say.
Editor White of the Bulletin express-
ed his thoughts in on excellent man-
ner lit our last issue. He seems to
have about the same idea that the
Collegian editors are trying to put
over to the students.

The seniors sponsored a "jam-up"
program last Friday. These student
chapel programs are fine for the de-
velopment of the individual. How-
ever the regular programs are valu-
able assets to the moral and spiritual
guidance of the students.

pearance this morning. They even

THE COLLEGIAN
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE
GROWTH OF DANIEL BAKER YOU
ARE A PART OF ITS GROWTH.
Daniel Baker's Stunt Night staged
annually for campus organizations
and classes is scheduled for next
Tuesday night. Members of the sen-
ior clnss are sponsoring the program.
A cash prize is to be awarded to the
class or organization which comes
fotth with the most original and en-
tertaining presentation.
The senior class is sponsoring a
baby show. Entrants are to be shown
from the stage in the fine arts audi-
torium and will be judged by mem-
bers of the audience it is said. Ar-
rangements are already under way
for this act.
The Footlight Players have select-
ed a stunt and approved its use in the
evening's fun. Report has it that
practically all of the members of the
organization will have part in the act.
The scientists from the Pre-Med
Club have a deep datk secret. All
that they will announce is that they
intend to walk off with the prize fol-
lowing the presentation of their stunt.
Perhaps they will who knows?
But there are several new aitists
in the freshman class who claim that
they are out for more honors which
the uppers claim. These same frosh
are keeping their plans to themselves
in spite of all attempt's on the part
of outsiders to discover the nature of
their challenge for honors.
Jimmie Settle and the sophomore
class are In no wise worried by the
secretive nature of the frosh. They
have a secret of their own which they
say will overcome any attempt of the
other organizations to steal the bo-
quct. The juniors haven't been heard from
'till yet but they all have sneaking
looks on their faces. Wonder what
they will turn up with.
The Press Club will turn to the
more serious side of campus life In
an effort to bring home the bacon.
The journalists are not so secretive
but they are making underhanded
nlnns which onlv the elite of the
school can unearth.

STUDENTS We are approaching the time
of the year for the ex-students to
crank up the flivver and come
back to old Daniel Baker for
their annual visit. November 6th
Is the date set this year for the
annual home-coming game. And
what a game this is going to be!
Daniel Baker is a half game
ahead of the other contenders for
the conference championship
Howard Payne and McMurry.
The latter two teams tied their
last game together on October 23.
Daniel Baker plays McMurry in
a night game during the home-
coming program.
It will be a great game. We
have a good chance at the cham-
pionship but we will need all of
the help that you ex-students can
give.
So lay aside the cares and wor-
ries and work of the season for
a day. Come back to the college
for a brief renewal of acquaint-
ance with old friends and a revi-
val of the Spirit of Youth and
good fellowship. We're counting

Juniors Entertain
Frosh With Party
Tuesday night the juniors surpris-
ed the freshman class with u Hal-
lowe'en party at Mis. Tabor's home
on Coggin Avenue.
At seven o'clock the freshmen
heavily disguised assembled accord-
ing to instructions near the main
building. After attempting to imag.
ine what might be in store for them
they were led by members of the jun.
ior class down the street and uround
Mrs. Tabor's house to the back door.
In a body they weic ushered Into the
dimly lighted basement wheic a huge
cat face grinned at them. Shrelking
a black.! obed Diucula darted at them
fiom tho shadows while screams and
ghostly laughs came fiom dark cor-
ners. Up the stalls the new apprehen-
sive freshmen weie rushed to be
greeted by a grinning ghost at the
iirst landing. With Dracula In hot
pursuit on up and up through the
house they were taken till finally
they reached the attic.
Lighted by numerous Jack-o'-Lanterns
the attic was decorated with
green blanches and streamers of black
and oiange paper. Swinging in the
air were black cats and witches and
hoveling bats. Hanging invitingly
everywhere from the i afters and
floating in tubs of water wore ap-
ples. In the darkest cornet stretched
out upon a bod was a body of a very
dead-looking woman. At one side wus
a fortune-teller's tent.
After the students were divided in-
to five gioups vaiious games under
tho direction of Velma Lois Dulln
.lack McCIendon and Mrs. Early
were played. Dm ing tho whole even-
ing might bo heard tho subdued but
steady munching of apples.
In a p.iuse between games dough-
nuts cookies and marshmellows were
served. Hot' chocolate was dipped
from the witches cauldron.
After more games the students
gathered in a circle around Velma Lois
Dulln who in tho flickering light of
liny candles told a delightfully blood-
chilling stoty of haunted houses
weird happenings and crazed mn.
At Jack McClendon's suggestion
the group left the house and gathered
at the tennis court. There fireworks
were set off as a good night salute to
the freshmen.
