Glancin Around
OUT ON THE HILL
The Footlight Players seem to
be about ready for their jaunt to
Lubbock to take part in the inter-
collegiate one act play contest . . .
we know that every student in the
school is wishing them luck . . . and
we are glad to see that at least one
organization is trying to spread
the fame of the school
Received an Interesting letter
from James S. Oxford a former
student in Daniel Baker who
visited with us last year ... he is
still interested in the school ....
has been reading the paper during
the past year .... and by the way
he will continue to do so ... . ex-
pressed some valuable opinions and
gave us some fine ideas .... also
he revived our interest in another
matter which other students drop-
ped some time ago. . . about the
Daniel Baker flag .... we are
still wondering if that will ever be
constructed
Another thing in which Mr. Ox-
ford is interested in is the move-
ment toward Christian spirit in the
the school ... we quote "I am
especially pleased with the senti-
ment expressed in your issue ox
October 22 concerning the Chris-
tian Influence of Daniel Baker. It
is all well enough to have other in-
terests and activities but as the
years go by I am more and more
convinced that there is nothing
that can take the place of the
Christian Spirit. Yes. nothing
would please me better than for you
to 'resurrect' the College Y. M. C.
A. We had such an organization
in ye olde dayes 1900-1904 and
after more than thirty years I can
testify to its value to me and I be-
lieve there are others of those days
who could do likewise." Perhaps
Mr. Oxford again . . . hope that he
a pleasant nature in the Christian
Students Association which has
been organized in the school. At
any rate we hope that such a
movement is a start in the right
direction.
Next week's issue will be the
first of the month ... it falls on
the first day of the month . . next
month is April ... the first day of
April is known as April Fool's Day
. . . the next issue of the paper
will be the April Fool Edition . . .
it will be folish or fooish
"Foo" Denman in charge of the foo-
cracks . . . we'll be foo-ing you . . .
School is nearly over for Uiis
term . . . June the month of grad-
uates and brides will soon be up-
on us . . . there will be days of
work and of happiness . . . there
will be joy on the part of some in
the fact that they have seen a job
well done . . . there will be sorrow
in the hearts of many who will
leave the institution for the last
time . . . they will attend their last
commencement services . . . they
will be exes. . they will enter life
on their own . . they will no long-
er be students they will be men and
women of the world ... of course
some may continue their studies
elsewhere but they will leave Dan-
iel Baker and their places in the
hearts of their fellow students will
be left vacant
So much for that which is more
to the present. . . . more to which
we can look ... the prom the dis-
tribution of the annual club and
class activities during the remaind-
er of the year .... much can hap-
pen in a few short months and we
are hoping that all will cooperate
In making this one of the greatest
final terms in the history of. the
school. . . .
Yours until we meet again . . .
For a greater Daniel Baker!
