EDITORIAL
BY WRAY POST
This week we arc going to dedicate a word to the seniors of Daniel
Baker College to those who have been here from start to finish and
have to sum It up fought their way through the school nnd for
the school. There have been numerous times when we all felt as If
there was little hope and frankly speaking thoughts of transfering
haven't missed us. For various reasons unavoidable as they may
have been wo couldn't ulwuys get what we wanted on the curricula
we had to change majors nnd minors we wanted a band we wanted
this and that. It just couldn't be gotten at the time but for some
reason we held on we came back each semester resolved to do those
things in addition to our school work which would be for the betterment
of the fcchool.
Believe it or not things got a little better each semester things
like school spirit enthusiasm competition cooperation unity. We
have drilled on these for some three years and more. And from 1945
before and after we have gathered up all those tilings lost in the War
to pass on to underclassmen and for them to pass on in turn.
If we had it to do again we would have worked much harder much
earlier. In fact we are just getting the swing of things in mnny
respects. Had we the know-how at the beginning we could have aided
in increasing our enrollment from fifty to one hundred each semester.
We will attempt to do this our last two semesters.
We can because the college is something desirable now. A good
curriculla n well qualified faculty all varities of music other fine
arts sciences math business administration athletics clubs of all
sorts arc among the many reasons a person just entering college
should go to Daniel Baker. Our credits are now acceptable practically
anywhere. We are getting more new students all the time. In ad-
dition to this it is conveniently located for students in and nround
central Texas. Our classrooms aren't overcrowded thus the school-
ing itself is not carried on in such an impersonal manner as may be
found in larger more crowded colleges and universities over tho
country.
The present senior class has had a great deal to do with this.
It is the largest we have had in muny years. At this time I might
say it is also the proudest we have had in many years. If the pnt-
rotice. fighting spirit continues to exist in the freshmen sophomore
and junior classes as they do in the senior group our school will not
only outrank nil colleges in this area but any in the entire state
of Texas.

The mounted band is nn extinct
unit that had at one time existed
in our cavalry. Very few of us
have actually seen or heard a
mounted band parading down the
street nnd fewer still know any-
thing of tho tribulntlons that tho
musician had to put un with to be
come a mounted bandsman.
In 1025 our general asked if It
were possible to have a mounted
band for next year's summer en
campment. A request or sugges-
tion by n general Is In effect nn
order nnd ns such wo know that
n job was ahead for us. If there
is anything thnt the nvcrngc mus-
ician dislikes it is playing nurse-
maid to a horse. Many of the
members had never been close to
n horse. The fact that a horse
would be assigned to onch mom.
ber of tho band caused much con
sternation within tho unit. It
meant a great deal of extra work.
for in addition to our musical dut
ies we had to food irroom. and
clean the horses. Manicur-
ing tho toenails of the horse was
nn ordeal to most of us. After
wo had given the horse his beauty
treatment we went out for cqui-
tation which term was explained
to us by our riding instructor ns
naming a process in which the
horse as well as tho rider form a
team the result of which would
bo superb horsemanship within the
band innt instructor never knew
how wrong he was. Wo were
able to move no faster than a walk
thnt is unless the horse took a
notion to make a mad rush for tho
stables.
Our next step was to acquaint
our horses with the blare of the
instruments ns well as with the
music thnt we made. The men in
the rigiment thought thnt the
band had gone crazy when they
saw us serenading the animals.
We played concert after concert
for them nnd I was often left
with the imnrcssion thnt thn
horses loved good music much
better than the men. Our sere-
nades were always given while
the horses were eating. When the
horses got to the point where they
would continue to eat without pay-
ing any attention to the band we
felt that we knew that wo wero
rea.dy to play on our horses.
On one bright sunny morning
the regimental adjutant informed
the colonel that tho band would
be ready to be mounted in thirty
minutes. We wero snddlinir our
horses nnd making some Inst min
ute adjustments on the drum har
ness when I received word thnt
the colonel was coming to observe
our progress in mounting tho
band. We led our horses to the
drill field nnd ns we got into posi
tion the colonel appeared.
Mr. Bandleader" he called "is
tho band ready?"
"Yes sir." I answered.
"Then proceed to mount your
band" he ordered. I saluted and
then turned to tho band with the
preparatory command "Prepare
to mount" and then when every-
thing appeared to be in order I
yelled "Mount."
The band presented a beautiful
picture on horseback. I noticed
the happy beaming face of tho
colonel and I knew how proud he
was at that moment. He walked
over to the band and spoke to tho
men. He praised them for their
fine appearance and told them that

Lettcn To Tkt Editor
September 23 1948
Dear College Editor:
Miss Pattie Cotter of Louisiana
State University is Miss Ameri
can Co-Ed of 1948.
The contest this year was a
great success with over one hun
dred and fifty colleges throughout
the United States participating.
The 12 finalists were saluted by
Sammy Kaye on the nationally
famous Chesterfield Supper Club
radio show each Friday night. The
judges Ed Sullivan. Tina Lesser.
und John Robert Powers selected
Pnttic Cotter as the winner and
she was crowned by Governor
William M. Tuck of Virginia
Beach on September 3rd. The
girls were four day guests of tho
Virginia Beach Chamber of Com-
merce. Our plans for Miss American
Co-Ed of 1949 nre now under way.
detils of which will be announced
and sent you shortly
Sincerely
David Krcngel
he was tho happiest person in the
army. Ho was proud thnt we had
only mounted band at that time.
When ho was through speaking he
turned to mo and said "Mr. Band-
leader have your men play a
stirring march." We started to
play the march was a stirring
one nil right we stirred 'nil over
the place. The minute we struck
up the music men horses and
musical instruments went in all
directions. It looked liko a mass
pitching contest nnd never had
I seen so many men thrown off
their horses. The instruments
wero scattered everywhere nnd it
took a week to find all of them.
There wero many bruises thnt
night on both horses nnd men. Wo
had approximately six such exper-
iences before the horses became
accustomed to us. After that the
horses enjoyed belonging to the
mounted band. They liked It
much better than we did and I
can truthfully say that when or-
ders came from the high command
that all bands would be dismount
ed our unit celebrated for an en-
tire week.
iMiltlif Ropoiloi
We have nsked both freshmen
and uppcrclnssmen this week just
how they feel about having the
freshmen "button-up" and here arc
tho answers they have given us.
Most of them have said thnt it
helps create school spirit so let's
all have n little spirit around hero
nnd every time you uppcrclassmcn
see a freshman ask him to "button-up"
and every time an upper-
classman asks you freshmen to do
it go on and do it. After all it
is just in fun.
This is how some of our stu-
dents feel about it.
FRESHMEN:
Jo Evelyn French: I think it
helps the school spirit nnd cer
tainly lets everyone know who we
nre playing next.
Azeneth Guillen: At first I
thought it was silly but now I
think it builds school snirit nnd it
makes me appreciate and love Dnn-
lel Baker all the more. I don't
think I will ever forget my fresh
man year at Daniel akcr. I'm
proud to "button-up" for Daniel
Baker.
Elizabeth Palmer: I think it
helps to get school spirit. All for
it.
Cnrlene Fenthcrston: I think it
helps the school spirit. Wo need
a lot more school spirit than wo
have.
Jackie Griffin: I think "button-ing-up"
is a thing which nil fresh-
men should bo glnd to do because
it creates school spirit a thing
which docs much for any school.
Myrtle Kyle: I am definitely in
favor of it because it helps build
school spirit and it is sorta fun.
UPPERCLASSMEN:
Freddyc Thompson: I think it
is a good thing. It makes a lot
of spirit on the campus and be-
sides I think that it is cute.
Byrlcnc Lawless: I think it is
O.K. I'm all for it!
Jano Ovcrby: I'm in favor of it.
It is a part of being n freshman
at Daniel Baker nnd that is some-
thing to be proud of.
Tony Wnlkcr: It is good for
them. Helps keep them in their
place.
Sherron Lee: I think that it is
totally unnecessary!
Ray Barnctt: I think that a
little freshman initiation is just
what we have been needing to
build up our school spirit. Pcr-

sonally I wish I had had more of
it than I did. I think the fresh-
men should enjoy it nnd always
remember their first year here at
Daniel Baker for they will bo un-
pcrclassmen for threo long years
and will be dishing it out. I'll
yell with the "fish" and any time
they resent "buttoning-up" for mo
I'll be glad to yell because I just
like to yell for good ole D.B.C.
Dorothy GIcnton: Make them do
it every time you sec one of them.
It helps build school snirit nnd we
need plenty of it here.
Mutt Pruitt: Wo hnd to do It
when we were freshmen nnd It
didn't kill us.
Clint Honnol: I think it is nil in
good sport to make the freshmen
"button-up."
Gnrlan Frix: Helps develop
school spirit. It makes the fish
realize what institution they nre
attending and makes them appre
ciate and love Dnnicl Baker more.
Corn Lou Lambert: It's a good
idea. Helps build Bchool spirit.
Ovalco Glover: It's alriirht to
have tho freshmen to "button-un".
Most of them seem to bo good
sports nbout it. '
Baker Conger: It's tho best
thing that over hit tho campus.
Makes for school spirit.
