Clab Notes
The McClelland Library Club
sponsored a benefit game party
Friday night May 0 in the Recre-
ation Room. The proceeds are be-
ing spent for the club projects for
1948-49 of screen doors and addi-
tional screen windows for the li-
brary which will make the library
more comfortable. The club de-
cided that there would not be an-
other meeting in May becauso
everyone was too busy.
All library books and materials
were due in the library by Satur-
day May 28 and if any books or
magazines that belong to the li-
brary are found the librarian re-
uests that they be returned. Books
and materials may be used in the
library during the time of extmi-
nations if the borrower will please
see that they are checked in properly.
Our president is a native of
Byrds Store born December 27
1926; graduated from Williams
High School in 1914 moving then
to Odessa Texas.
Shorty began his college educa
tion in Howard Payne staying a
year then came to Daniel Baker
to complete the work for his
Bachelor of Science degree which
he will receive in June of 1950
While in Daniel Baker he has
been an active member in the
French Club senator from the ju-
nior class in '48-'49t and is. the
vice-president and charter mem-
ber of vhe Tau Kappa Delta Fra-
ternity. His plans are yet incom-
plete as to what he will do upon
completing college work but ho
may teach.
Pertaining to his office he gave
many views and comments. Some
of them were direct and to the
point and it would be well for all
of us to put forth as much efforr.
and wise thinking as Shorty will
do in carrying out his program.
Some of the things he stressed
were:
"I plan for a big year hoping
for the best year of our lives. Wc
are going to try to have big events
and make everybody have a good
time homecoming and Ranch
Week.
"When the student body gets
an invitation from the ExStudents
to attend their meetings it would
be a good idea to attend. I hope
all students return next year and
bring someone with them if it is
at all possible."
Luck to you Shorty and your
capable staff. You have the support
of the entire student body and of
the faculty.

Hue Ben Roy
Hue Ben coming to Brownwood
from Zephyr is a physical edu-
cation major is the secretary of
our student body. Hue is a mem-
ber of the Billic Club and a mem-
ber of the A. O. F
One of the outstanding players
of the basketball team Hue Ben
was one of the co-captains last
year and will be an indespensible
player in the coming year. His
abilities are not all in the field of
athletics as his minor is math and
physics. Hue Ben was among
those outstanding students select-
ed for Who's Who Among Stu-
dents In American Universities
and Colleges this year.
With such a capable person us
Hue is for a secretary Shorty
has nothing to stand in his way
for one of the most interesting
upbuilding and eventful years
ever to be in Daniel Baker.

entering school Joe has been
working full-time for Joe Stalcup
an ex-student of D.B.C. and in the
future has plans of owning and
operating a theatre.
A few of the ideas and views
expressed by Joe during his in-
terview are:
"I think Daniel Baker has a
great future under the proper lea-
dership. I don't think that vice-
presidents should be inactive they
have a duty to preform as well as
the president or any other officer.
"Ranch Week is one of our
greatest means of advertising this
school; therefore there should be
an all-out effort made to make
Ranch Week grow in size and
quality. I do not believe in having
your fun and paying for it later;
therefore starting early in the

Two members of our faculty
will go to Oslo Norway and
northern Europe this summer to
study and to vacation. Miss Mabel
Eubank head of the department
of home economics and Miss Mae
Branom head of the music de-
partment will study courses in nu-
trition and music respectfully
and both will take a general sur-
vey course of Norway.
The program for study offered
at the University of Oslo is geared
largely to undergraduate work
thus providing a chance for them
to do more traveling and vacation-
ing than studying. This summer
school is sponsored by Saint
Olaf's College of North Fields
Minn.
When Miss Eubanks and Miss
Branom leave Brownwood they
will accompany Mr. Harold H.
Fiske as far as Columbus Ohio.
On the way the three of them will
stop for a brief visit in Cumby
Texas; Memphis Tennessee; and
Columbus Ohio. From there Miss
Eubanks and Miss Branom will go
to New York City and remain
there until June 20 going to Con-
neticut where they will take an
airplane to Oslo Norway. They
will be in the air approximately
twelve hours stopping at New-
foundland and either at a point
in Iceland or at Shannon Ireland.
They will be with a summer
school group of American students
studying in Oslo University Nor-
way until August 6. After that
time they will travel around and
visit some cities and countries of
northern Europe; returning to the
United States about the first of
September.
