Co-eds Eagerly
Sadie Hawkins
By the almost unanimous ap-
proval of tho student body and
the assenting vote of the student
senate; the week of November 10th
to the 15th is numed as Sadie Haw-
kins Week. In order to give the
co-eUs u chance to subdue the
largest possible number of the
weaker sex (for this week only!);
it wus decided thut we would huvo
a Sadie Hawkins Week instead of
just one duy.
During this timu the campus
male will behave like n hunted
animal constantly on the look-out
for roving females and ready to
protect himself at all times. He
will avoid feminine companionship
on all possible occasions and dis-
courage such practices as holding
hands and dancing check to check.
In order to insure an adequate
supply of dates for everyone each
girl is required to have ut leust
three dates during this week. Of
course for the protection of the
males certain iuIcs will have to bu
observed:
1. Girls will perform all acts of
chivalry such as opening doors
and walking on the outside.
2. The girls will spend a mini-
mu mof twenty-five cents on each
date. A larger amount will be
appreciated but that is to be de-
cided by the occasion.
3. Any girl can huvc more than
three dates if she can afford it
and locate the ncccssury compan-
ion. 4. When properly asked no one
will refuse a date unless: a. He
has a broken leg b. He has a sick
headache c. Has a sick grandmo-
ther d. Mother won't let him go
out.
The last of the week Saturday
November 15th is named as of-
ficial Sadie Hawkins Day. At this
time everyone is requested to como
dressed in his favorite Dogpatch
character. In regard to Fresh-
men that sentence is amended to
read: "Everyone WILL come dress-
ed as his favorite Dogpatch char-
acter!" See the Dallas Morning
News funnies for ideas about cos-
tumes. Everyone is encouraged to get
in the groove and put some spirit
into this activity; it should be u lot
of fun if everyone will co-operate.
- Natchely all married men will have
diplomatic immunity in order to
stay out of the dog house ut home.
Don't forget November 15th! !
Be a real Hill Billy and start lin-
ing up a snappy Dogpatch ward-
robe; anyone found in dress clothes
Saturday will immediately be
transferred to Howard Payne. And
girls don't forget thoso track
shoes and brass knucksl

Band Holds Meeting

..The Daniel Baker Band rehearsed

to be unusually successful. Some
id was given by High School and
outside musicians in an effort to
promote interest in the band and
get it underway. The next re-
hearsal will be in accord with the
pep-rally Thursday night at 7:80
in the Fine Arte Building. s The

"Come on studentsl Let's get our
band going; it la an invaluable
factor in arousing student body
spirit; and we have a long way to
go. All the present members 'are
giving their full cooperation many
of the faculty members have pledg-
et their moral support and it's
your turn to reciprocate Pick up
those idle instruments and let's
all get set to make music" said Jos

Coggini Add A
Touch Of Polish
Because of a well-organised
strike carried through by the U of
S-B (Union of Shoeblacks) and
partially due also to an already
eminent shortage of good "shines"
it was necessary to employ a num
ber of strike breakers. After con-
siderable consideration of the sub
ject by the Labor Board it was
decided that tho Coggin pledges
were tho best qualified group of
people for the task. Saturday
is a big day in this fair city of
ours and there is lots of business
for good shoe-shiners so the Cog
gins managed very nicely and most
of their customers were well
pleased.
Better to be driven out from
among men than to be disliked

"Eye Hath
Not Seen"
"Eye hath not seen nor ear
heard" was the theme of Dr. Men-
denhall's talk to students in Chapel
October 30.
Tho human eye is limited to cer-
tain light ranges within tho color
spectrum. 'We do not sec infra-
red and ultra-voilct rays ullhough
certain instruments hnvi proved
their existence. The eye is also
limited in size. Microscopes and
telescopes have unveiled to us
things we never knew existed be-
fore their invention. Logically
with tho invention of more power-
ful instruments new things will be
seen by the human eye that before
were never known. This is also
true of the human ear. It is said
that even grass growing makes
such low-pitched vibrations that
tho car cannot hear. The bat ues
high-pitched vibrations inaudible
to human cars which serves a per-
sonal rudar device to determine
its path of flight. This prov. s to
us that our senses arc limited and
that a great universe exists beyond
our ability to sense it.
Thousands of people say they
can't understand anything they
can't sec; thus they don't believe
in God. Such people urc just as
foolish as those who say there; arc
no bones in the human body be-
cause they can't sec them. The
world needs to recognize the power
that exists and man needs to real-
ize his limitations and know thut a
great world is present beyond his
limitations.

Anthony Palazzo Italian Tenor
Failure As Copy-boy
Rather Sing Than Run Errands
To the editorial staff of tho daily
New York American it was un
doubtedly a relief when their 12-
year-old copy-boy took himself and
his incessant singing to other dis-
tant purts the more distant the
better. To the copy-boy Anthony
Palazzo now the widely-acclaimed
young American tenor who appears
Monday night November 17 at tho
S. R. Coggin Memorial Chapel on
Daniel Baker College campus the
whole thing was something he just
couldn't help. As for the can of
Btcamlng-hot coffee he upset on
the city-desk it probably happen-
ed for the best.
Singing lustily and whole-heart
edly was something he always
had to do and if the busy metro-
politan newspaper office was not
the best place for it that he
couldn't help either. Anyhow he
is now convinced that he would not
have made a particularly good
newspaperman.
At least one man on the staff
whom Palasso can now remember
only as Frank appreciated his sing
ing. Frank was his friend. He
couldn't hear enough of the boy's
Nepolttan songs and even enjoyed
the arias which young Tony's
father taught him at home to the
accompaniment of his guitar.
When the boy would be sent
dashing off to Macy's or Glmbel's
advertising department for last
minute corrections on copy to
come back as much as an hour late
it was always Frank who took his
part. Could the boy help it if
they kept him there singing his
songs in a way that would reach
down to the very insides of a want

nomenon was that a tornado dust
devil or other updrift of wind had
picked up tho fish from a nearby
pond lake or stream and held
them in the air until over Marks-
ville. The fall occurred during a
heavy fog but there was no wind
or rain at the time
Finally Baldwin tho city editor
bluntly issued an ultimutum: grant-
ed that Tony was a good-enough
copy-boy as copy-boys went never
theless the singing would huvo to
stop this was a newspaper office
and while noiso was one thing
singing was something fur differ
ent.
For two days Tony managed to
control himself. The evening of
the second day there was a big
story to cover and everyone in-
cluding the copy-boy had orders to
stay late. Someone suggested
sandwiches and coffee and Tony
was given a couple of cans for tho
coffee and sent out.
As tho order was being filled
Tony began to hum and by the
time he started back tho sand-
wiches under his arm and a can of
coffee swinging from each hand
he had burst forth into the Drink-
ing Song from Cavalleria. As ho
reached tho city desk tho song
called for a gesture of a toast.
Tony raised his arm his elbow
bumped into a pillar and the hot
coffee splashed on to the copy
spread over the city desk.
There was a shout or two then a
moment of complete silence. And
then but here tho matter can be
best summed up by noting that
Palasso's career came to an abrupt
end.
Palasso's appearance here will be
the first of a series of four con-
certs to be given in the Daniel
Baker Auditorium. Daniel Baker
students will be admitted upon
8 mentation of their student actlv-
;y cards and the faculty members
will be admitted on presentation of

concerning the European situation
as a wnoie.
Her nassnort was obtained In
24 hours and she was a tiaaaenmr
on the first non-stop Pan Ameri-
can flight from New York to
London.
"It was like n storv in a fnlrv

in London at 10 a.m. tho following
day."
While in Enirland. Mm. Trann
visited many places of interest in
cluding Buckingham Palace where
sho witnessed a changing of the
guard and Westminster Abbey.
While visiting the cottage of Ann
tiatnuway she was very much in-
terested in the chimney corner
(often mentioned in EnfrlUh writ.
ings) which is really a corner in-
side the chimney where the elder
folk take their place by the fire
commanding a view of the entire
room und any courtship that may
be taking place.

on to Brussels cleanest city she
visited on her entire journey. Ac-
cording to law the sidewalks of
Brussels must be scrubbed weekly
duc Mrs. Trapp reports that the
citizens scrub them thoroughly
each day. Brussels bears its marks
of war; here she saw the famous
f eace Palace discolored and black-
ened by fires built for that pur-
pose by the Germans durinar their
occupation.
While in this vicinitv she visit.

soldier. Robert Morria. a local hnv
who lost his life during the fight
ing in that country.
On to France. When Mrs. Tann
mentioned Paris this rnnortnr
naturally asked her how she was
impressed by the fashion center
and their latest creation the long
skirts for women.
"Long skirts"? I didn't see any
change in dress length until I re-
turned to the United States and
saw some co-eds looking very dis-
mal in their new long skirts" she
replied.
She also visited the Tomb of Na-
poleon and Notre Dame while in
France.
In Switzerland she was impress-
cdby the wealth of the people their
industrious nature and the musi-
cal bells worn ' by the oxen that
p'ulled the carts through the city
streets. And it was in Switzer-
land where she had the opportunity
to walk on a glacier

D. B. C. Spanish Club
Begins KeOrganizatian
The Daniel Baker Spanish Club
under the direction of Mrs. Kate
Atlen Horn met for the first time
last Monday and made plans for its
re-organization. At this initial
meeting a president Sherron Lee
junior was elected. However it
wus decided by those present to
elect the remaining required of-
ficers at tho next meeting.
Mrs. Horn organized a very
successful Spanish Club last year.
Membership was not restricted to
students enrolled in Spanish class-
es but was open to any person
enrolled in Daniel Baker who had
a background in the Spanish langu-
age. The highlight of last year's
club program was a banquet for
all members.
Front and Center
Student aid and support is
earnestly solicited by the staff of
this years TRAIL. Anyone who
has any snapshots taken on the
campus or of gatherings of stu-
dents elsewhere since the open
ing of this school term can help
make a better Trail by turning
either a copy of the snapshot or
the negative in to one of the staff
members. "Dub" and his staff
have a long hard job on their
hands so let's help them all we
can.
Any student or fsculty member
who believes that a Student Di-
rectory would be of help please
let their opinion be known to eith-
er Jock Dillon or Jack Mooney. No
cost would be involved to the indi-
vidual but there isn't any use hav-
ing one if a large number of you
don't believe we need one.

whatever to someone on the Colleg-
ian staff or drop us a note in one
