Ml M avl Doug la director of
the Daniel Baker Ensemble ha
announced that the choral organi-
zation will meet next Monday
January 8 to begin rehearsal for
Easter presentation. All mem-
ber are requested to be at the
Fine Arts building at 2:30 Mon-
day afternoon.
Reverend David Johnson spoke
in chapel Tuesday morning Jan-
uary 2. The gist of his talk was
that in the New Year 1040 we
should take the bitter with the
weet and remember that some-
thing good always comes with
disappointment. With the New
Year will come to us a little of
V everything In life and we should
share our joys and likewise our
sorrows will bring kindness and
sympathy from others.
On January 14 the college class
of the Austin Avenue Presbyterian
Church will present a varied pro-
gram consisting of magical tricks
and other entertainments in the
Fine Arts building. Admission
will be 10 cents.
Dr. W. 8. McNutt is confined
to his bed In Arkadelphia Ar-
kansas with an infected leg. He
expects to be able to return to
Brownwood within a week or ten
days. His classes will be met as
usual by his assistants.
Mid-Semester
Exams Abolished
To de-emphasize the importance
of mid-semester grades and to
place greater emphasis on scholar-
ship Beloit College authorities
have abolished mid-term exami-
nations. Only those student whose work
is not equal to a passing mark
will receive any indication of their
standing. Those in this group will
be given "unsatisfactory" reports.
The purpose of the new system
is to take the stress off grades and
emphasize day to day preparation
and effort. Mid-semester mark
have never been recorded in any
permanent record a they are not
an indication of final achievement.
By stressing steady work and
abolishing a rating which can bo
interpreted in terms of grade
points It is hoped that students
will view the work in their courses
a material to be successfully
mastered and not as a means to
a number of grade points.
It is not to be understood that
this arrangement will in any way
interfere with the usual exams
given by instructors in regard to
the class work.

Athletes9 Average
Age Early Twenties
The best sporting years of any-
one's life seems to end about the
time he is twenty-one at least
this is generally true in athletic
games. Players in college foot-
ball are in their senior year when
they are twenty-one or twenty-
two the average age.
In a survey of outstanding ath-
letes of 1039 five persons were
named and the oldest was nine-
teen. Especially In swimming con-
testa the winners are usually very
young. A woman's best swim-
ming years are said to have end-
ed by the time she is twenty. Most
professional baseball managers re-
fuse to train a man for the game
who is over twenty; their best
"learning day" are over. How-
ever men who are good at the
game from the beginning can stay
as stars until they are thirty or
over. This game is one of the few
exceptions to the fact that most
athletes are in their early twen-
ties. This age limit of course never
affects sports like hunting or fish-

this case is the dominating fac-
tor. But even though a football
player may 'gain in actual exper-
ience he loses a certain amount
of physical ability to put this
knowledge over.
Boxing is another sport which
certainly comes under this rule.
Most world champions have been
no older than the middle twen-
ties and sometimes younger. Age
is said to have defeated Jimmy
Braddock.

uolf is another possible excep-
tion to our belief that athletes
have their day when they are
young. Many champions are vet-
erans of fifty; the game seems
even to appeal more to the older.
Nevertheless young men and
women not yet twenty defeat old-
er and sager golfers.
Tennis is another game enjoyed
by all ages. The young play it
for fun and the old for exercise.
The world's championship for
women is held by a young woman
not yet thirty.
Of course only a small per cent
of all people who enjoy sports try
to be winners. The good Is there
even though no contest is ever en-
tered. Ohio State University frater-
nity pledges have an annual
"Ditch Night" on which they de-
fy the rulings of the activities.
The first Ail-American football
team was announced in "Harper's

conference game. In the next
edition we find that eight Daniel
Baker Who's Who students have
been elected as decided assets to
the college. Our assets seemed to
have been mounting steadily.
On November 10 many ex-students
testified the fact of the val-
ue of Daniel Baker by returning
at Homecoming. This was proof
of our ruling out on the "net
profit" side of our ledgers.
In an earlier issue our football
team had recently conquered the
team that later won the Texas
Conference championship. This
fact alone is one to reassure us
of our worthiness and pull us
out of the red.
On December 10 the Daniel
Baker Ensemble student choral
organisation presented its first
program. It was agreed by all
who attended the concert that the
group would play a great part in
favorably advertising our college.
In the Christmas edition of The
Collegian a gain of forty-three stu-
dent la announced in the honor
roll for the second six weeks over
that of the first six weeks of
school. It is evident why such
grades are listed as an asset to
an educational institution.
So as far as what has been ac-
complished is concerned we cer-
tainly are in a prosperous era.
Our assets far exceed our liabili

mary in mind our 1040 year can

It is to be especially noted that
this donor has never heard of Dan-
iel Baker College until Dr. Ben
Moore told him of our school. Dr.
Moore likewise acquainted many
people with the values of the col-
lege. He travels all over the state
lectures preaches and Invites high
school graduates to attend Daniel
Baker College.
Another valuable donation made
to Daniel Baker during the holi-
day was the gift of twenty acres
of oil land in New Mexico by Mr.
Smmett Whltesides. Wells are

cinity and drilling has already be-
gun on this new Daniel Baker
property. The faculty and stu-
dents of the college appreciate ful-
ly the value of such friends as Mr.
Whiteside.
