Representatives From
Each College Class
The AOF Fraternity presented
the chapel program Wednesday
morning March 6 to provide one
of the most sparkling entertain-
ments at Daniel Baker this year.
The program was in the form of
a musical questionnaire in which
numbers and arrangements were
played and the contestants were
asked to give names singers and
orchestras of the record.
Bill Orton acted as the question-
shooter and general at-ease man.
Frank Alford president of the
AOF Bob and Frank Latta and
Denny Cawyer acted as the judges
and gong-sounder for the school.
Frank Alford opened the pro-
gram with announcing over the
microphone that this is "the AOF
college of musical knowledge"
and sponsored by "foul-out" ciga-
rettes. Then Bill Orton was in-
troduced who played "In the
Mood" for the audience.
The four contestants answer-
ing questions for the delight of the
audience were Roy Owen senior
Imogene Farria senior Phillip
Shaw sophomore and Doris Blair
freshman.
The first round Owen vs. Blair
ended in a decision for Owen who
knew whose theme song "Does
Your Heart Beat For Me" was
and could identify the piece. Phil-
lip Shaw missed out on "Hot
Lips" by Henry Busse but the
audience students knew. Roy
Owen missed on the "Blues Sere-
nade" by Henry King and Phillip
came through with "At the Balai-
laika" and what picture the song
was in.
An intermission was called and
"Isle of Golden Dreams" was
played. Then the round Blair vs.
Farris began which ended in a
win for Imogene who knew "Deep
Purple." Blair could not name
any orchestras using song titles
and Farris missed out on Toselli's
Serenade with other composers
namely Covill Shubert McNutt
Mozart Callaway and Brookover
given to throw her off the track.
Blair did not know who wrote
"Minuet in Jazz" and lost the
bout.
Intermission after the second
round was spaced over with the
playing of "Begin the Beguine"
after which the third and final
round was staged. The wits of
Owen and Farris were pitted and
Farris came through and was
awarded the prize which was one
show ticket in the balcony not on
Sunday and after GWTW.
Farris identified "Song of India"
and knew the writer. Owen did
not know "It Must Be True" and
who the vocalist was singing the
piece. Miss Farris did not know
the name of "Two Hearts in
Cuba" but she did know that the
time was a rhumba. Then Roy
Owen showed his musical talents
by being able to sing unaccom-
panied two lines of "Ob Johnny"
which the audience felt was too
easy and booed.
Charles Covill operated the
phonograph for the music.
Delta B's Select
Pins And Emblems
The Delta Beta Society held its
regular meeting of the week last
Monday night March 4. At this
time the members selected an ap-
propriate emblem to appear on
their club page in The Trail. Also
the girls of the organisation de-
cided on their club .pins for the

food and there will be no outside
dates. A committee consisting
of Jessie Beryl Chisholm Stella
Easley and Cora Fowles was put

BAKER STUDES TELL PHILOSOPHIES
Since Philosophy seems to be
taking our day it Is well to know
what some of our students think
(if at all) about life and just
what their conception of living is
and how they carry on their par-
ticular philosophies. Baker stu-
dents philosophies are character-
ized by simplicity and a general
feeling of wanting to conserve
time and energy. At least this is
what Quentin Cauley thinks when
he says "Haste makes waste"
and A. T. Shults believes it when
he says "A stitch In time saves
nine." Deomle Lancaster is rep-
resentative of this element when
she takes as her philosophy the
Idea "Take life as it comes."
The next subject which enters
into our living ideals most seems
to be success and victory. This
is evident when we read Irby Pet-
sick's philosophy of "If at first you
do not succeed try again" and

Junior Class To
Sponsor Stunts
The Junior class will present
and sponsor the annual Daniel
Baker stunt night next Wednes-
day night March 18 in the Daniel
Baker auditorium. Every club
and class in the college is invited
to enter a stunt and three classes
from high school have also been
invited to present a stunt.
First prize will consist of 10
per cent of the night's receipts
second prize 6 per cent of the
receipts and third prize is 2
per cent of the receipts.
The admission price will be ten
cents for students and fifteen
cents for adults; everyone includ-
ing the participators in the stunts
must pay. The night's entertain-
ment is scheduled to begin at 8
o'clock.
Charles Gardner president of
the Junior class cordially Invites
every student on the campus to
attend; he feels that everyone will
get his money's worth if he comes.
Money made will be added to the
sum already gained to give the
Seniors the annual banquet some
time this spring. So far the Jun-
iors have been making money by
selling candy popcorn and cold
drinks at all the ball games in the
gymnasium. No other plans have
yet been made by the class to raise
money.
CAA Student Pilots
Form Organization
The CAA students of Daniel
Baker College have organized into
a club named the "Flying Billies."
The club was formed at the regu-
lar around study lesson of the
group on Thursday night Febru-
ary 29.
A. T. "Flying Dutchman" Shults
was elected by his fellow-pilots
as the president of the students;
Charles Garner was elected vice-
president Jessie Beryl Chisholm
secretary and James White re-
porter of the group.
Sponsors of the "Flying Billies"
are Mr. J. B. Menlo Holloway
ground school instructor and sci-
ence professor of Daniel Baker
and Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Kersey
pilot training instructor and his
wife who are from Fort Worth
Texas and own the Kersey Flying
Field there and are in charge of
all CAA activities here in Brown-
wood. In the near future when all the
members of the Air Training stu-
dents have soloed the group will
order miniature lapel wings which
will be presented to them in chap-
el. They plan to have socials and
other activities later on in the
spring.
La Verne Null's idea that "You
get out of life exactly what you
put into it." Cora Jacque Taylor
also represents this faction as she
says "You can be what you want
to be if you want it hard enough."
Bertha Foulger has a more pes-
simistic or perhaps sensible idea
of life and says "Eat drink and
be merry but look out for tomor-
row." Two persons take their phi-
losophy primarily from Christian
teachings. Esther Yell says "Try
to find God's plan for your life
and live by it." Mr. Louis Calla-
way sociology professor who is
versed in the elements of phi-
losophy and psychology says "My
philosophy of life is more Chris-
tianity in action and deed and less
talking about it."
M. F. Kirby has the simplest
philosophy of life of all. He sim-
ply and briefly states "Beware
of women."
Only Movie
Of Christ's Passion
The Presbyterian church
sponsoring a moving picture
is
of
the Passion Play here in the Dan
lei Baker auditorium for two
showings today. There will be a
matinee at 8 o'clock and the night
performance at 8 o'clock.
The show is a talking motion
picture depicting the hut week of
Christ's lifetime and the Cruci-
fixion. The show was filmed in
Europe and has been touring
America under the publicity di-
recting of Miss Lucille Weishaar
of Iowa. It is an hour and forty
minutes of entertainment
The ladies of the Presbyterian
church feel that the Brownwood
public will enjoy such a show and
there is no profit whatsoever on
the part of the auxiliary. The
women have been advertising the
play in all the schools and have
secured release for all school chil-
dren this afternoons who wish to
attend. They have been selling
tickets and posting hand-bills
throughout Brownwood and neigh-
boring towns. These women are
Mesdames Holley Norton Guthrie
McClelland Stalcup and Smith.
The Universal Producing Com-
pany filmed the movie which will
be shown twice today. The play
is based to a certain extant on
those at Oberammergau.
All Daniel Baker students and
the general public is urged to see
this show. Admission prices are
posted on the Bulletin Board.
Bill Pemn Joins
Hill Billie Band
The latest addition to the Billy
Band is BUI "Curley" Perrin for-
merly with the Hillbilly Band that
put W. Lee O'Daniel in the gov-
ernor's office. For some six years
BUI has been in the music busi-
ness and has traveled with W. Lee
O'Daniel both with the Light
Crust Dough Boys Band and the
Hillbillies. He has definitely de-
cided to be with the Daniel Baker
Hill Billy Band and wUi act as
musical director for the band
while it is preparing for the tour
of Arkansas. BUI is master of
five musical instruments and his
voice is generally considered good.

minister of the Baptist church.

and alternate on the banjo. Also
he will be the vocal attraction in
the Billy Band. BlU's brother
Woodrow Perrin wUl join the
band at a later date to aid the
band with harmony duets with his
brother.
In a very short program Tues-
day morning BUI gave the student
body a very good sample of what
he can do when it comes to vocal-
izing some of the popular tunes of
the day. A longer and better pro-
gram is promised soon.
Bill wiU be a regular student at
Daniel Baker in the near future
and it is evident that he wUl be a
welcomed newcomer to the cam-
pus. Prior to the trip to Arkansas

band in several programs both
over the air and in surrounding
towns. One of the most looked to
trips wiU be to Wichita Falls
