So you nro going to hnve your
picture taken! Don't Just sny your
unphotogenlc unci ex poet the
worst. Co-opcrntc with your
photographer mid do something
nbout it. It is mild that the cum-
era cannot lie. ..but it certainly
tell a very Inrge fib unless you
do your part.
Here are n few helpful hints on
what to wear for the event. Wear
the kind of clothes that arc basic
inconsplcious and keep the gen-
eral effect uncluttered. Even the
tmitablc-for-main street test is
not strict enough. For some
clothes which look fine on the
street such as checks plaids and
stripes give your face too much-
competition in n hoad-and-should-ers
picture. Of course you have
seen plaids in fashion pictures.
The photographer wants the
clothes to take the spot light but
when you present your picture to
a friend you are not offering n
dress for sale.
Choose n neutral-colored sweat-
er blouse or suit a plain color or
very smmall print. Avoid an ex-
cess of jewelry. Unless the photo-
grapher is terribly skillful a sev-
ere black dress even when reliev-
ed with a single pin is all too like-
ly to make your face look like a
white moon on a dark night.
White also is hard to light but it
is better than black. The best
shades to choose are the blues
greens yellows grey and bigc.
The next step is make-up. Do
not venture into cake make-up un-
less you usually wear a cake or
cream foundation and are an ex-
pert in applying it. Otherwise
powder lightly and use a soft lip-
accent their eyebrows with mas-
cara and ' eyebrow pencil.
Another thing don't go right
from a beauty salon to a photo-
grapher. Try to have your hair
look as it usually docs soft
shiny and brushed into a simple
style without many curls
your personality and charm which
makes your picture different from
the rest.

Tke WiuMaid Qieen
By Town Clef
The clarinet is one of the most
important of musical instruments
in use today. It consists of a
cylindrical tube ending in a flar-
ing bell. This instrument is n
modification of the .medieval
shawm and had come into promi-
nent use about 1775. It has been
improved many times since then.
The clarinet is fitted with a single
beating reed mouthpiece and is
furnished with side holes some
of which are covered by keys. It
is recognized as the most oxpres-
sivo of the woodwinds because it
is capable of almost perfect grad-
uations in the power of its tones.
The clarinet is truly an epic in-
strument and is little appropriate
to the Idyl. Its voice is rich and
full although the extremely high
tones are too piercing to bo used
frequently. As a solo instrument
it gains in delicacy and mysteri-
ous tenderness that which it
loses in powerful brilliancy.
The clarinet is almost the equal
in technique to the violin or cello
as an individual along monotone
lines while in quality of tone per-
fection of intonation it leaves
little to be desired. It is the back-
bone of the wind-band and is em-
ployed much in the samo manner
as the string instruments of the
orchestra.
This beautiful instrument whose
voice is so tender and so eloquent
must surely bo termed the "Queen
qt the Wind-band"

Once upon a Saturday night
there happened a few things.
Dates and other such deriving
themselves from the student body
of Daniel Baker College plus the
natural attraction most of us have
for the opposite box. These dates
were not particularly unusual
which proves the older you arc
the more usual things get to be.
At any rate it's our duty to keep
you informed of thinirs on and
around the campus and to throw
mud where wo see fit. All infor-
mation contained herein is not
necessarily first hand as I have
various sources of supply In other
words dear friend do not blame
me.
We'll flashback awhile giving
you a stool-pigeon's eye view of
some goings-on or comings-off
(7) Kathy King has been doing
a good job of keeping J. McCulley
in line at the two previous foot-
ball games. Wonder where they
go afterwards?
Other couples seen at Lion Stad-
ium were Kathy. King and Juck
McCulley Jackie Griffin and Cut-
ter Cunningham Shorty Smith
and a girl we didn't know.
If you've noticed several men
have been aiming straight and
hard Mincsue Sue Wright's way
with intentions of doing as much
damage as possible in Puck's ab-
sence; looks as though she is aim-
ing somewhat herself. Question:
Should Puck prepare himself for
a Dear John or no? What you
don't know doesn't hurt you. Lord
help some people if the Blonde
Giant finds out when he returns
however.
From appearances Dwain Luslc
must have been pretty hnppy after
the game. The "one und only"
was there and a mighty pretty one
too. Sorry girls but that seems
to be the way it is.
Myrtle Kyle M. S.'s co-temptress
isn't exactly unattractive to
n dozen or so males herself. Pryor
Buddy Ross Curtis but what
am I doing? After all I wouldn't
want you to feel as though you
were one of the common herd or
something.
Looks ns though Carol T. has
more than taken over where Mr.
Conger left off with Cora Lou;
he has lots of things in his favor
football co-captain B Club A.O.F.
pledge etc. He still professes to
be playing tho field nevertheless.
We heard Frix and saw Wil-
helm nt the game. What no
standing up? Miraculous events
occur daily.
We were truly delighted to see
Joanna Hnrriss ex-DBC favorite
with Joyce and Wrny Post. We'd
like to see more of Joyce too. An-
other ex she was a popular little
gal on the campus during 40-47.
She may re-enter this spring we
hear.
A lot of tho couples were split
up due to one or the other being
in tho band but they got together
successfully after the game. Dot
G. did somo fancy twirling mak-
ing us as proud of her as Nat is.
Zane Elliott being an unortho-
dox person decided to take some-
ono besides Marian Connally.
Didn't get her name. Seems Betty
White has attracted his attention
somewhut but ho isn't exactly
alone there either.
Billy Zack Baker is pulling a
fast ono on us going clear off tho
campus. Sherbaline Smith Is her
name n knockout brunette goes
to Blanket Hi. Don't let him get
away with It men give him somo
competition.
Our spies tell us that Patsy C.
and Sharron Leo have called it
quits. What no more library
dates? The list of eligible guys
and gals is hereby lengthened one.

It was press day at the "Brady
Standard". I had just returned
from lunch to find everyone work-
ing feverishly in order to get the
pnper out In time to meet the five
o'clock mail. It was a tremend-
ous job because today instead of
the usual eight pages in our
twice weekly paper there were
to be twelve. I established myself
in tho back office and started to
work half-heartedly on the sten-
cils which we used in mailing out
the newspaper. "Shorty" tho ad-
vertising manager was loading
the press for tho last run while
Thiele the printer was throwing
together a last-minute advertise-
ment. Billy a high school boy
who worked during his free hours
was making paste a vile mixture
of wormy flour and water heated
to the boiling point.
It was the summer of 1915
those days when newsprint lino-
nypists and nir-conditioncrs were
rnrc if not extinct. The heat
on this particular day was oppres-
sive. The molten lead Billy's
small fire and the July sun some-
what overpowered the large drip-
system air-conditioner which had
been proudly installed only a few
days previously.
"Smitty" editor atod sole owner
of the "Standard" and privileged
therefore with long lunch hours
carefully parked his car in the
opposite side of the ally walked
in the back door and stood sur-
veying the scene trying to decide
just what to do first.
There you have it. Certainly no-
thing in tho air or still summer
heat promised anything more than
another routine press day.
We all noticed the Johnson
freight van as It crept cautiously
up the alley an alley barely wide
enough to hold two parallel cars
but we thought nothing of it. Cer-
tainly no ono notice the trouble
the driver had in passing Smitty's
parked car without scraping the
fenders; neither did wo notice how
dangerously close to the opposite
wall he edged his van. Everyone
however came to life as water be-
gan to spray from an unknown
source drenching everything and
everybody. Shorty was first to
notice the absence of the air-conditioner
and the broken water
pipe to which It had been connect-
ed. Smitty realizing what had
happened dashed out the back
door and disappeared down the al-
ley yelling and waving frantically
trying in vain to stop the van on
which jauntily was perched our
precious air-conditioner.
Meanwhile Shorty had leaped
from the press more out of ex-
citement than the desire to be
helpful and in so doing his foot
struck the belt controlling the
folder. Of course the belt broke
(the press was old and all the
belting rotten) and immediately
the papers began stacking up. I
dived for the folder hoping to
(Continued on back page)
We had a cute little Aggie on
tho campus Saturday. Wonder
what his interests were?
Say girls I don't know whether
you have noticed it or not but
there is a very cute little guy run-
ning around here in a light grayish-tan
ford. Ho is a doctor's son.
Should be hint enough.
Donnie Rowland is another eli-
gible man. He can dance too
girls.
Is Betty Griggs engaged or just
what is tho score?
This summer we had a real ro-
mance budding but now we never
see Hugh Ben dated up. Was it
summer madness "Goat"?

II Youre A Wiie Frnhman
If you're a wise freshman who
waats to stay four years you'll bo
quick to discover that It doesn't
take a wand and a book of nec-
romancy to get you through col-
lege but good hard work plus.
From the time you rip open that
acceptance letter to the time they
hnnd you your B. A. you're on
your own. This isn't so had ns it
sounds if you learn some funda-
mentals. First of all leave mystery to the
movies. If you don't understand
something don't be afraid to ask.
Take n good look around open
doors peer into rooms and when
it says Freshman Tea at four go
drink tea. In fact go to every-
thing. Nobody has to tell you
to be nice or not to be n snob.
An open mind is indispensable the
first week of college but be sure
it isn't open nt both ends for a
week later it's much nicer to re-
member which name goes with
which face and what building goes
with what course.
In choosing courses don't wait
until you arc standing in front of
your counselor's office. By this
time your catalogue should be one
of your best friends. Ask your
big sister or the old girls in the
house which prof is tops for the
course you want to take. Get to
know your academic adviser ask
him questions and tell him your
problems. Three to one he won't
tell you to look it up in the library.
And he means it when he says
that getting those essentials out of
the way first two years gives you
more time to breathe and take
what you want the last two.
After making sure that your
courses arc straight and nil your
pencils are sharpened it's time to
decide where else you want to
make your mark. If in high
school you made a good Portia
look up the dramatic club; if you're
the type who is always writing
letters to the editor volunteer
your time to chase deadlines for
the campus Daily. Or maybe you'd
rather bat birdies with the bad-
minton club. Whatever you de-
cide on don't try pulling too much.
Enjoy your outside activities for
their own sake as well as for the
number of pictures they'll rate in
the yearbook. And remember that
many employers count extracurric
high up in judging a person who
wants a job so be enthusiastic
about what you do. Be in some-
thing; don't be n tourist. Watch
the college Daily or read the hand-
book someone will give you for the
time and place of your particular
activity's call to order.
Need anyone say study? Some
people like to think that they were
born knowing that the fcmule dro-
sophila has two X chromosomes
and come the end of the semester
will insist that the low grade must

havo been a misprint. Study.
Take it in small but concentrated
doses. Don't gulp all at once.
As soon as possible try to de-
velop some kind of system in
which to fit all the things that
share your day. With studies
luundry outside activities and
dates bumping into one another
something is sure to get knocked
out of the picture probably you.
Watch your health even if it's
not showing. If eating a candy
bar makes your teeth tulk back
stand in line at the health service.
And try not to be the last one to
turn out the light every night.
If yours is a co-ed college don't
wait for tho boys to discover you.
A week of sitting by a phone thnt
always rings for someone down
the hull ought to convince you thut
something should be done. Now
mixers may seem obnoxious to the
girl who is used to causing her
own stir but you do meet people
and a start is all you need. If
yours is a girl's school don't be
bashful in accepting group invita-
tions to visit near-by mule col-
leges. And the blind date is now
an accepted custom. A friend of
a friend can often be quite inter-
esting. Another hint common
sense should tell you that if you're
an honor student play it down on
dates or you'll limit your field.
Lots of really intelligent boys have
a way of getting B's to your A's
because they spend too much time
on the baseball diamond. On the
other hand this doesn't mean thnt
that you shouldn't let your
thoughts show once in a while dur-
ing your evening together.
Nobody can tell you all the
tricks to campus life. During
your four-yeur stay you'll do a
lot of reaching in and pulling out
for yourself. But it's worth it.
Where else do they offer Plato
und J-Hop bull sessions and writ-
er's cramp football and economics
nil on the same program? Maybe
when you're old and gray and look-
ing back over your college scrap-
book is will seem as if somebody
was holding a wand but If you'll
look again that somebody was
you.

The physically disabled when
properly pla'ccd make slightly
better workers than the able-
bodied a study prepared by the j
U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
for tho Veterans Administration i
reveals.
The study matched the work
performance of some 11000 im
paired and 18000 unimpaired em-
ployees in all major industries.
The survey discloses tho follow-
ing: 1. Handicapped workers suffer
ed fewer serious accidents than
tho able-bodied.
2. The disabled experienced the
same number of minor injuries as
their able-bodied fellow workers.
3. Production records of the im
paired were higher than records
of the unimpaired.
4. The disabled were absent
from work more frequently than
the able-bodied.
B. The voluntury quit rate of the
handicapped was higher than the
rate of the able-bodied.
According to tho study impair
ed workers experienced 8.9 serious
disabling accidents per 1000000
man-hours worked compared with
0.5 accidents for the able-bodied.
Veterans nssigned "C" (claims)
number by Veterans Administra-
tion ore urged to memorize them
so they can use the numbers readi-
ly when they write or cull VA
nbout their benefits.
Use of "C" numbers speeds up
service to veterans VA said.
A number is issued to each vet
eran upplying for compensation
pension schooling o n-t h e-j o l
training or other VA-administered
benefits. The number appearing
on his case folder will identify
him in VA records the rest of iiis
life and mny be used by depend-
ents after his death.
With some 21000000 veterans'
names in VA's files "C" numbers
often are the final means by which
VA can distinguish one veteran
from another.
