MY DEAR
UNSUSPECTING
FRESHMEN
LIVING FOR
TOMORROW
You hava come to Daniel
Baker elated over your new
independence if not in one
way in another. You have
the idea that you are free as
the breezei thinking that just being a college student elimi-
nates you from all self-discipline. Such is not the case. You
now are part of our college family and whatever you do re-
flects on us. Whether you are here for only a term or finish
here people wherever you go will say "He went to Daniel
Baker" or "She graduated from Baker" and thus your suc-
cess or failure will be sent back to us and our college will be
judged by your actions. Remember that you are a potential
part of a beloved tradition which you have no right to dis-
regard. So Frosh when you fatl the urge of reckless abandon
coming on and the whirl of it all a little too much go sit by
yourself and say "I am a full-fledged member of this institu-
tion and therefore carry the responsibility of its reputation
on my shoulders equally with every other person connected
with the college."
Today we are all looking
overseas as one would watch
an approaching storm. It may
peter out before it reaches our
homes but just now it seems to be gathering instead of falling
away and leaving a beautiful blue sky which should be there
instead.
Our nation of today is our home "For the people by the
people" and "In God We Trust." Our ancestors came to this
country to build a place of free worship and free speech and
also to build a standard of living for all. Some seem to have
forgotten this. It is not a hard standard to follow or is it a
selfish one but one by which we may all benefit along with
generations to follow.
In forgetting these standards we not only find ourselves
in the suction of all the storms but finally in utter destruc-
tion. Who goes to war and who did go to tht last great war?
Was it the outcasts of this nation was it the criminals the
blind the deaf and dumb or the undesirables? No it was the
pick of the American youth our future leaders. They were
the young doctors lawyers bankers and other professional
young men who left home and our country never to return.
These leaders gave their lives for their country in death in-
stead of economic and social development. So not only did we
lose all these young home-loving God-loving and country-loving
men from our hearts but we lost the advancement that
these same men would have given our nations.
Your question is: "How could I have kept the United
States out of the war? Would I have given my son if there
had been any way to keep him at home?" Now stop and
ask yourself this question "Who was responsible for these
men going?" You and I and all the others that help to make
up this nation of ours. We make the laws we elect the lead-
ers and we keep the country going as it is today. What was
wrong then? Simply that you depended on the other felkro
to guide and advise you. You did not use your own brain but
took the decisions of others as that of better and more logical
judgment. You thought they too were sacrificing as much
or more than you.
The reason we are classed as a democratic nation today
is the fact that a few men not only believe in the standards
of this country but stand up and voice these same beliefs. We
have the material to build a nation that could live until eter-
nity ; we need only to use our own individual power and in-
fluence in building it not just holding it together. All the
losses of war help to break down our nation; sorrow helps
disappointment helps and causes discouragement.
We should think and act for the growth and advancement
of our country. Not for yourself not for some other person
but for the people. Wt do not have to fight for these things
which are in the blood of our neighbor by fighting against
him. Wt could help him and at tht same time be helping
ourselves.

IN MEMORIAM
Billie had a little lamb
It was given her to keep
It followed Billie everywhere
But died from lack of sleep.
Crack of the Week Great minds run in the same
channel usually a dry one.
Memo to those who would keep their feet on the
ground Here's a chance to get in on the ground
floor of a business that has a high ceiling; join
the Brownwood air corps.
"A little nonsense
Now and then
Is relished
By the wisest men." (and woman)
What The Well-
Dressed Feminine
Frosh Wore
One of our first fall days called
from our shopping boxes many
new smart frocks of the season's
best. Miss Freshman had a chance
to exhibit her excellence of taste
in dress and to assure her uppers
of her worthiness of joining our
Daniel Baker fashion parade.
Details of the most fetching cos-
tume on the campus last Wednes-
day were an ensemble composed
of short pantaloons of an enticing
black sateen; the blouse was of a
heavy net material an especially
manufactured hemp we surmised.
The colored designs and printing
on front and back caught the eye
immediately and we predict that
every girl in America will soon be
clamoring to advertise various
seeds etc. on the tails of her
blouse.
Accessories of this new costume
were a lavaller of the most ex-
pensive twine chain and a large
beautiful naturally perfumed le-
gume from milady's own garden
(or the corner grocery). Each
young lady had contrived a clever
plan of introducing herself gray
and white placards with her name
beautifully engraved on one side
and some foolish sentiment as
VBeat the Kangaroos" enscribed
on the other; this device waa se-
cured about her neck to produce
a startlingly lovely effect.
But quite the newest-idea of all
was that of wearing brightly col-
ored garters on the outside of the
pantaloons. Of course why should
not this be so as there were no
stockings to be upheld. We firm-
ly endorse this mode of no stock-
ings as a practical idea. Also we
are happy to announce that the
AU-American girl is being sensi-
ble in buying shoes large enough
for her feet. For many years it
has not been fashionable to select
shoes for comfort but from last
week we find that finally fashions
are considering our health. A
monstrous bag completed the cos-
tume. Scalper-really says "The
larger the bag the more chicque
the outfit"
The last and every bit as striking
as the fal frock itself was the
accompanying coiffeur. It is all
"saviour faire" to pull the hair
back from the face and secure it
with a certain length of new hemp-
colored rope. A certain new oil
has been Imported from abroad
(write us for the name of its man-
ufacturer) which adds wonderfully
to the shiny texture necessary to
the success of the hair dress and
incidentally to the ultimate sue-
ceaa of your grooming.
A DANIEL SAKER FROSH
She is a lassie brave and bold
With ruddy cheeks and hair of
gold.
In statue small but trim and neat
She'll give the boys an awful
treat.
She'll coax them here and coax
them there
And maybe . . .! always play
them fair.
She'll spend their mon by night
and day
In seeing sights along the way.
A limousine she will not dare!
A model-T what does she care?
Along the highways wild and wide
Then out to greener pasture
sides.
A better Frosh there'll never be
She'll make it home by one two
three.
"Books are bosh to her" she said
She likes the Brownwood boys
instead.
