REVERIES
Next week is Thanksgiving. Per-
haps the most outstanding feature
to most of us is the fact that we
have a holiday from Thursday thru
Saturday. But the season should
carry a much deeper meaning for
us than merely a rest for a few
days. The day was instigated as
a. day of thanks to God for His
kindness and goodness to a group of
people endeavoring to build an em-
pire out of a wilderness. They had
almost nothing materially speak-
ing in comparison with what we
have today yet they had God. And
with Him on your side nothing else
matters. Today we- too have Him
for whose guidance we should be
thankful. Don't forget as the day
comes around next week that you
are one of the most fortunate per-
sons alive. . . and don't forget it
every other day In the year. Anne
Campbell in a verse about the sea-
son says a few words worth think-
ing over:
"In a tormented world uncer-
tainty Is one allotment that is surely
ours.
New problems try us but our
dally powers
Are strengthened by that world
that used to' be.
... If they possessing nothing
but a dream.
Could clasp their hands in grati-
tude and pray
We too can keep the lamp of
hope agleam!
. . . Thanks be to God this
day."
Certainly did enjoy our 'trip to
Abilene last Saturday. Even if the
boys did come out on the short end
of the score it was a mighty fine
game. Of course we lost our
voice from hollering so much but
then we told you all to do it and
we had to follow our own sugges-
tion. We do think however that
some of the things done by the men
in those striped uniforms were
rather queer but it's all in the
game and "we're not mad."
Departing from that usual habit
the other day tho we suddenly be-
came angry. Seems that one of
our writers left the campus and
just a few hours before the dead-
line for his copy he had not yet
returned. Knowing all the time
that he is a fellow on whom you
can depend for anything we
thought that he had left us in the
lurch. We were just before fill-
ing his page with recipes heading
it "Notes for the Kitcheneer" by
Bill McBrayer to seek revenge in
that way for his untimely depar-
ture. But at the psychological
moment when our fury could be
contained no longer in walked Bill
with his copy. And we were sor-
ry. Again we are convinced that
we can always count on him when
we need him. He is a grand fel-
low a good writer a willing work-
er dependable really just a swell
guy. So "we're not mad" now.
This should too partly make up
for his keeping quiet about a little
incident I hope shouldn't it Bill?
We were just before saying that
it is time for the student election
of the "Who's Who" candidates
when we learned that they had al-
ready been chosen. Contrary to
the usual procedure in which the
student body or its representatives
the student council selects the
students who will be given this
honor a committtee of faculty
members has made the choice for

College Means Education Reputation
Say Students When Questioned Here
Why are you going to college?
Few questions have been asked
college students more than the
above. Some come because they
do not want to stay at home.
Others want to enjoy the social
activities. Some go to prepare
themselves for future life. Some
want to know how to make the
most of their possibilities and op-
portunities. Others are in school
merely to learn the facts on the
printed page. Some only establish
a reputation for themselves.
Since there are so many reasons
for attending the school that they
do your inquiring reporter has
chosen for her subject this week-
Are you coming to school for an
education or are you merely mak-
ing a reputation for yourself? A
long discussion could follow as to
what she thinks is the right idea
but the answers of those students
interviewed speak well enough.
Here art a few of thtm:

ing." Glenn Bowman: "I want an ed-

into consideration before selecting

business world.
The candidates are supposed to
be chosen by the student body thru
its student council. How the selec-

knowledge available concerning
their candidacy is thai they have
been chosen. The student body
or student council had no part in
making them.

Is Student Leader
Leading the student body
through the anniversary year of the
school is a well known athlete
Gaston Alford. Gaston was chos-
en at an election held last spring
to this position. As the prexy he
also leads the student conucil In
its meetings.
"Monk" as he is called by his
close friends came to Baker three
years ago from Comanche He has
been one of the most popular mem-
bers of the student body thru out
his career. He has been one of the
dependable members of rue foot-
ball squad during the last fhree
years. Altho unable to play at the
first of the season this yerr be-
cause of a knee Operation he was
in the game last Saturday and will
be able to play again tonight.
During his junior year he serv-
ed as president of his class. Un-
der his leadership the class was
the most active on the campus. He
is a member of the Footlight Play-
ers and last year tewed as vice-
president of the Christian Students

Gaston's ambition is to be a doc-

leaving Daniel Baker he hopes in
the near future to enter the medi-
cal school at Galveston.
His hobby is playing the piano.
This he does for his own amuse-
ment but all of his friends enjoy
hearing him play. Football bas-
ketball baseball in fact any of the
sports are Monk's main interests.
Falling in the line of pet peeves
are pickles in sandwiches which
fairly get in Gaston's hair.
He likes to go to school; likes to
play football. He hates to leave
Daniel Baker for he says "there is
just something in the atmosphere."
While here his most interesting
courses have been government and
education. He finds in Prof. Hart

among the faculty.
Besides entering into the life of
the campus wholeheartedly Gas-

by everyone who knows him be-
cause of his friendly spirit and his
high Christian ideals.
