Dr. Meideiball
Addrenei Stident Body
In his first formal address to
Dnnlcl Baker students Dr. It. E.
Mendenhnll warned them that the
present period of their lives is that
period in which habits are formed
These habits he stated further
might be good or bad depending
on the individuals will. One habit
to be avoided is that of drinking.
Dr. Mendenhnll set forth the
evils of alcohol pointing out sev-
eral reasons why drinking should
be shuncd. He mentioned the
facts that alcohol dulls the mind
slows up the reactions of the nerv-
es and generally depreciates the
person's ability.
In conclusion Dr. Mendenhnll
urged that nil students bypass
the habit of drinking.

is that of Mrs. Luetic Sheets wife
of Assistant Coach Sheets. She
is originally from Iown where she
got her degree in Home Economics
nt Iown Stute University. Before
her marriage Mrs. Sheets was n
teacher of the fifth grade. Some
of the student body may be sur-
prised to lenrn that her duughtcr
is Mrs. Pickle who is on our fac-
ulty. When commenting on the Cor-
ral Mrs. Sheets remarked thnt
students should please remember
thnt ash trays arc for ashes and
the floor is to walk on. A neat
housekeeper Mrs. Sheets also de-
sires a clean canteen. She enjoys
having the students and wants
them to feel at home; she says
"Please consider this canteen home
and co-operute in keeping it clean
ns you would in your own home."
The Corral is now serving cof-

BETTY SHULTS
Student Penonility
By Tommy McClelland
Our student personality for this
week Miss Betty Shults is n na-
tive of Brown County; born in
Mny Texas. She attended school
here nnd graduated from high
school in 1041.
After graduation Betty started
to work at the Main Post Exchange
of Camp Bowie. She was employ-
ed for one yenr in the watch re-
pair department and later became
manager of the jewelry and cos-
metics department. She held the
later position for over two years.
Miss Shults entered Daniel Ba-
ker during tho summer semester
of 1945 and is majoring in Edu-
cation. She expects to graduate
in August of 1049 nnd her im-
mediate objective is to become a
high school teacher of English nnd
speech.
Betty's family has been well
represented nt Daniel Baker; both
of her brothers Ncnl and Travis
attended school here after being
in the service.
Miss Shults has been working
at various jobs every since she
finished high school. She has
worked in the afternoon since en-
tering Daniel Baker. Betty was
employed for a year and a half
ns a secretary in n rcnl estate of-
fice and is now working at Dub-
lin's. Because of her outside work and
n full schedule of studies Betty
has not been able to maintain
membership in many campus or-
ganizations. She was a charter
member of tho Delta Beta Chi
when it was re-organized in 1940
but is not active at present in any
club.
Betty is interested in a number
of sports: swimming tennis and
fishing are her favorites. For rc-
creution she prefers dancing nnd
reading and her choice of music
is popular nnd semi-classical.
Think It Over
The ratio of men and women in
D.B.C. is about three to one tho
women being in tho minority. It
has been noted however that it
is up to boys not enrolled in our
alma mater to see that tho girls
havo escorts. Much has been said
girls dating non-Baker boys;
but have the boys stopped to think
who Is responsible? Even though
it is leap-year tho girls still like
to be pursued. Come on boys!
Give the girls a chance. Undoubt
edly they will choose thoso won-
derful Hillbillies over any other
hoys.

Meet The Faculty
PROF. BRANSFORD EUBANK
Our faculty personality for this
week is so interesting and has had
such varied experiences that it is
difficult to determine where to be-
gin. Professor Eubank was born in
1897 on a farm south of Cross
Cut Texas. His father was
Joseph Eubank and his mother
Mary Nell Brook both of them
from old Southern Stock. Profes-
sor Eubank began his schooling in
a little country school which was
built by his father. He entered
Brownwood High School ns a ninth-grader
nnd graduated in 1910.
In the fall of tho same year he
entered A. & M. College which he
attended for two years. Next came
a one-year hitch in the Marine
Corps. He re-entered A. & M. in
1910 and graduated in 1922. He
then taught vocational agriculture
in Texns for two years.
Anyone who has been nt Dan-
iel Baker for any length of time
cannot think of Professor Eubank
without immediately associating
his name with that of China. His
first visit to China came when he
escorted a shipment of livestock
to Ycnchlng University Pelplng
China. Upon his arrival he began
teaching vocational agriculture in
this school. After three years he
resigned and came homo by way
of Siberia. Soon nftcr his arrival
in tho United States he entered
Princeton Seminary. This was in
1927. He graduated from this
school in 1930. His second visit
to China came this same year.
After one year of language study
he went to a mission station in
Southern Shuntung China.
In 1034 Professor Eubank mar-
ried Miss Martha Fcnn. Ho had
met her while attending classes nt
Princeton. She came of a mission-
ary family in' Chlnn and had re-
turned to head the English de-
partment at Cheeloo University.
Tho Eubanks Bpent tho next four
years in evangelist work between
Cheeloo and the Yellow Sea. They
returned to America in 1037 and
came to Brownwood in 1938.
1939 found Professor Eubank
back in A. & M. teaching and
finishing his master's degree in
Animal Husbandry. Professor Eu-;
bank has taught a total of three
and one-half years in Daniel Ba-
ker nnd was pastor of tho Presby-
terian Church Menard Texas for
two years. Tho Eubanks have
two children Ann and Brooke
both of whom were born at Chee-
loo They are now students at
Brownwood High School.
Professor Eubank was never
noted for athletic propensities.
His chief interests are ranching
soil conservation and biology. He
speaks Mandarin a Chinese Dia-
lect fluently.
When asked which phase of his
life he enjoyed most Professor
Eubank answered "Teaching in
Daniel Baker Colltg."
Sweep to 27-0 Victory
Rev. Nerten Ii
Gneit Speaker
"Am I My Brother's Keeper" was
tho topic of the speech delivered
in chapel Thursday by the Rev-
erend Mr. Norton pastor of the
Austin Avenue Presbyterian
Church.
In order to clnrify his point
Rev. Norton compnred the spread-
ing of good will with the polli-
nation of corn. One man is in-
sapablc of living a happy useful
life without helping and being
helped by his fellow man just as
good corn cannot be raised when
it is pollinated by poor corn.
"Yes" Rev. Norton stated em-
phatically "we arc our brother's
keepers whether we desire to be
or not." A human being cannot
grow in detachment from other
people. Neither can he grow with-
out religion for "religion is shar-
ing." Rev. Norton concluded with the
statement that poor thinking will
pull life down but strong think-
ing nnd religion will lift life up.
"The right kind of pollen will
make things grow In individuals
in schools in nations."

KNAP
By Jim Knapp
One fortnight ago a mighty duel
was fought between Squire Elmer
Haynes and Squire Archie McCles-
key for tho love and unending de-
votion of Lady Patsy Byrom. The
gory scene is still vividly impress-
ed upon my memory. As the sun
rose as red as blood over Bangs
Hill the two mighty warriors fac
ed each other across the campus
of D.B.C Mounted upon fiery
chargers and with lips curled in
hatred they readied themselves
for battle
At the drop of Lady Patsy's
handkerchief the two valiant men
charged toward each other with
lances leveled and shields upright.
Instead of meeting head on they
missed each other and charged off
blindly Archie ran into the

bushes by the Administration
Building while Elmer hit the
flagpole.
Catapulting to their knees the
two brave contenders drew naked
swords and went at it "tooth" and
"nail." After a few parries and
thrusts Archie fetched Elmer a
clout in the brisket. Elmer retal-
iated by clapping him famously
upon the headgear. In the midst
of the battle the two contestors
fatigued and weak from loss of
blood stopped suddenly.
Walking towards the library
Lady Patsy was arm in arm with
Sir George Germany the dashing
Romeo of the campus.
As suddenly as it began the
battle ended interrupted by the
ringing of the old bell in the tower.
They want meekly to class.
