C. A. of the Northern District, held at

as temporary secretary. These members,
along with Mary Simon and Allan Sekula, compose a committee assigned to

Sarg's Marionettes proved to be even
more enjoyable than that of the afternoon.
"The Rose and the Ring," by William
Thackeray, captivated the audience with
its melodrama and rich humor. In the
very beginning the good-bad fairy.
Black-stick, appeared, as in all fairy
stories, and started the ball of trouble
rolling by turning poor old Gruffanuff'
into a door knocker. Then there were
the women, one a princess, one a countess and one a poor little maid of all
work who later turned out to be the
real princess. Before this denouement,
however, the eternal triangle was carried out as the fairy ring bounced from
one lady's finger to another and masks
flipped up and down. Eventually all the
fair ones received a man and the surplus
was killed off.
The stage settings were exquisite and
most effective, especially the Execution
Courtyard, where gruesome shadows
played mysteriously about the scaffold.
The garden was a lovely spot wherein
Giglio could strum his guitar. The little
actors were so beautifully and tastefully
dressed that they seemed Uke a real
people. As the marionettes danced
across the stage moved by the skillful
manipulation of the operators behind the
scenes and as they spoke their parts,
also at the command of the company behind scenes, the illusion became completely convincing.

James P. O'Laughlin
Dies at Clearfield
Member of the Board of Trustees and
Prominent Attorney
James P. O'Laughlin, a native of Renovo and a member of the College Board
of Trustees, died Sunday morning, October 18, at his home in Clearfield. Mr.
O'Laughlin was a member of the board
of trustees since 1919 and took a deep
interest in the work of the College. Three
years ago he presented 100 volumes to
the college library.
He was born at Renovo and served as
secretary to the late A. C. Hopkins while
the latter was a member of Congress. Locating later at Clearfleld, he formed a
law partnership with the late T. C. Murray. Mr. O'Laughlin was one of the most
prominent attorneys of Central Pennsylvania and had a wide law practice, particularly in representing railroads and
other corporations.
Funeral services were held at Clearfleld. Dr. Dallas W. Armstrong, on behalf of the college, and 1. T. Parsons, the
trustees, attended the funeral.
The vacancy which Mr. O'Laughlin's
death has caused on the board of trustees will be very difficult to flll. Not
only the board, but also the faculty and
the students will miss his friendly advice and help. The trustees, faculty, and
studenls extend their sincere sympathy
to Mrs. O'Laughlin and daughter.

World disarmament and international
peace was urged by Martin Krieger,
Germany's representative, at the sixth
international contest held at Washington, D. C , October 24, to decide the
world's championship in high school oratory. Young Krieger plead with the
youth of the world to demand disarmament for "it is upon them the responsibility rests,"
Boy orators from six other countries
spoke in turn on history, politics, and
state leaders.
The contestants and their topics were:
Martin Krieger, 17, Berlin, Germany,
"Youth and Disarmament"; Robert Gibson Royburn, 17, Newton, Kansas, "The
Tests of the Constitution"; Gerard Cournoyer, 19, Quebec, Canada, "Why the
French Race Has Survived in Canada";
Henri R. M. Van Hoff, 17, Holland, "The
Royal House of the Netherlands"; John
Thomas Lumsden, 17, England, "Disraeli"; Pierre Henri Courtage-Cabassanis, 18, France, "The French Colonial
Empire"; Thomas Shillington, 18, Ireland,
"The Irish Free State."

Dancing Class Holds
Party Tuesday Evening
The dancing class has progressed to
such an extent that they held a party on
Tuesday evening, October 27, in the
gymnasium. In addition to the beginners, the students who have been assisting Miss Arey were present. The
main feature of the party was dancing;
later refreshments were served.

The Beta Sigma Chi Sorority opened
its social season with a tea-dance at t h e
Silk Mill Club House, on Friday, October 23, from 3:30 until 6 o'clock.
Upon entering the Club House t h e
guests were given dainty dance p r o grams with the B. E. X. insignia lettered
in gold. They were received by Jenice
Sharpe, president of Beta Sigma Chi,
Harold Robb, Vivian Messimer, vice
president, and Al Heydrick.
The Decorations Committee, u n d e r t h e
chairmanship of Martha Zeigler, carried
out the decorations in brown and
orange, with bittersweet as the predominant feature. The napkins added to t h e
originality of the whole affair in that
the bittersweet flower design on t h e m
was hand blocked and printed by two
members of t h e sorority, Jeanne Hopler
and Julie Silagyi.
Music was furnished by the Leo C.
Caprio Orchestra, of Lock Haven. During intermission the guests partook of
refreshments which were served in a
buffet style. Five Lock Haven High
School students, sisters of B. E. X. girls,
helped to serve.
The guests of the Beta Sigma Chi included: Miss Avis E. Edgerton, sorority
adviser; Miss Belle Holaway, Margaret
Coira, Lillian Rohde, Harriet Rohrbaugh, Leila O'Neil, Ruth Hunter, Ray
Burkett, Wayne Hoy, John Haberstroh,

Betty McKenna headed the Refreshment Committee and Helen Munsen the
Music Committee.

Edison Is Subject
At Chapel Address
The assembly program, Wednesday
morning, was in charge of Mr. J. F.
Stemple, whose address to the student
body stressed the importance of the life
of one who had done much for humanity.
Thomas Alva Edison, the "Wizard of
Menlo Park." He mentioned Edison as
one of the greatest and best loved figures
in America, and one about whom the
whole nation has been thinking because
of the sudden shocking news of his death
early Sunday morning.
Mr. Stemple reviewed the simple facts
of Edison's childhood and early youth,
and cited the outstanding inventions he
had patented during his later Ufe. Edison, in the field of electricity, was one
of the greatest benefactors of mankind.
He will be remembered not only b e cause of his inventive genius, but also
for his great personality.
In fitting tribute to all that Edison was
and stood for, the student body rose in
a silent moment for that great flgure, to
whom all honor and gratitude is due.

the lesser subs were more than a match
for Kutztown.
Coach Kaiser consented to a shortening of the last two quarters in order to
keep the score low and to avoid further
injury to the battered Kutztown squad.

Dust From the Field

Lock Haven Teachers Add Another Victim to Growing List
Lock Haven Teachers advanced a step
closer to the football championship of
the State Teachers College when they
completely inundated Kutztown Teachers with an avalanche of scores that left
the Dutchmen bewildered and exhausted.
In the flrst half of play Lock Haven
scored 45 points. This was while the
remnant of the varsity was playing. The
second half was played entirely by reserves, but still Kutztown was not equal
to the task of holding Lock Haven, and
20 more points were added.
Kutztown never threatened to score,
and while the varsity was in they didn't
even threaten to score a flrst down, so
completely were they outclassed. Lock
Haven scored 23 flrst downs to 2 for
Kutztown.
Wepsic and Cowfer led the scoring
with three touchdowns each. Hart, Burd,
Smith and Torok also scored during the
afternoon's workout. The first score of
the game came two minutes after the
start of the contest. Fisher kicked to
Dettrey and Dettrey responded with a
25-yard return to place the ball on the
Lock Haven 46-yard line. Wepsic and
Hart then alternated in running the ball
until Wepsic went over for the touchdown. A pass. Hart to Co-A-fer. scored
the extra point.

Kaiserites to Meet
Women's Fall
Strong Bloomsburg
Tennis Tournament
Team on Their Field
About ten days remain of the time ScM
for completion of the women's fall tennis
tournament.
Out of the 200 entries received when
the tournament was launched in September. Eleanor Hoy was the flrst to
complete her 12 tournament matches.
Juliet Ellenberger and Mildred Murren
were close seconds, while Evelyn Confer
holds the record for industry, for her sets
number one more than the credit requirement.
As regards tournament
standing.
Madeline Anderson. Dorothy Dunlap.
and Ruth Sponsler, leading in the sixth
round, have not yet suffered defeat.
Emil.v Williams, competing with Jean
Mateer and Mae Rhodes in the fifth
round, has also come through undefeated, as has Anita Kunes, who is now playing in the fourth round.
Wanda Brown. Ann Crist. Sara Moran.
Ro.sanna Shireman, Eleanor Shultz, Julia
Summers, and Evelyn Wallace have progressed from the beginners' to the advanced group, while Elizabeth Miller,
who started in the beginners' tournament, won 9 successive matches and is
now in the seeond round on the winners' side in the advanced group.
We suspect that courts will be crowded these last few days, for the survivors'
credit cards are by no means full. Six
players have completed 11 matches: nine
have flnished 10 matches: flfteen have
played off 9 matches and only forty-flve
have recorded 6 or more. Competitors
are reminded that only those who complete the fall tournament are eligible for
W. A. A. credit or for spring tennis.

Girls'Day Room Y.W.
Hold Enjoyable Picnic

Coach Kaiser will take his crippled
squad to Bloomsburg tomorrow for one
of the most crucial games on Lock Haven's schedule. He will flnd a highly
confldent team opposing his orange and
black squad; and with many of Lock
Haven's best players on the sidelines,
Bloomsburg has cause to feel confldent
of putting a stop to Lock Haven'.s winning streak and avenging the 20 to 0
defeat Lock Haven handed them last
year.
Bloomsburg, like Lock Haven, has gone
through the season without a defeat, havin.g defeated Kutztown and having been
tied by Millersville and California.
Last Saturday, California was fortunate to tie them when Peterson, one of
Bloomsburg's ends, dropped a pass back
of the goal line.
Bloomsburg not only has a powerful
line, but they have some fine backfleld
stars in Captain Warman, Jaffin, and
Kopchak. Warman is noted for his accurate passes and placement kicks;
Jaffin and Kopchak, for their flne line
plunging.
Notwithstanding the gloom that many
of Lock Haven's fans feel, the Kaiserites
are going to Bloomsburg with the sole
intention of dragging Bloom's Maroon
and Gold streamers in the dust.

squad, as it appeared on the fleld for
preliminary practice, was a sight t o

rangy men who knew how to handle
their feet but seemingly lack finesse.
They were a "green" squad as far as experience was concerned. . . . L. H's
flrst touchdown was a clear indication
of their superiority. It came three minutes after the initial kickoff. . . . Dettrey did a "Gus Sonnenberg" when he
bounced that Kutztown back off t e r r a

work. He's the t,ype "Pop" Warner had

Frosh Hold Meeting
The second meeting of the Freshman
Class was held Tuesday morning, October 22. The purpose of the meeting
was to select a class motto, flower, and
class colors. Mr. Patterson was present
and suggested that a class poem and a
class song be given thought. A budget
plan for the class was also discussed.
The president, Elwood Rohrbaugh, appointed various committees to take care
of these items.
Plans for a class party, to be held
some time before Thanksgiving, are under the consideration of a committee
headed by Marian Roynan.

'Alice in Wonderland"
Appeals to Audience
On Monday noon, October 26, Tony
Sarg's Marionettes gave a unique performance of "Alice in Wonderland." The
Marionette Alice was as real as the
story-book Alice. She fascinated the audience by her sudden growth in stature
and by t h e elasticity of her neck. I n the
"growing scene," Miss Elsie Dvorak
played the part of Alice.
The Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit, the
Cheshire Cat, the White Knight, and all
the other subjects of the kingdom of
Wonderland delighted the audience.
The many solos and clever dances
made a decided appeal. A dance done
by six tiny oysters was especially well
received.
At the conclusion of the entertainment Mr, Sarg gave a demonstration of
the way a marionette is manipulated.

Mr. L. J. Ulmer Speaks
At Vesper Services
At the evening Vesper Service held
in the auditorium on Sunday, October
18, Mr. Ulmer read one of the Dr. Frantz
Chapel Talks, from "Facing Life." The
subject was "The Use of Sunday." He
gave flve different criteria that can be
used to differentiate between Sunday
and the ordinary week-day: It should
be different from the other days of the
week. It should not be commercialized.
It should be a day of recreation.
It
should be a day of worship. It should
be a day to help others.
Prior to Mr. Ulmer's talk a trio composed of Mary Bowers, Caroline Raker,
and Ellen Louise Rook sang "Thou Shalt
Love the Lord," Erma Cailender and
La Dean Shirey whistled "The Old
Rugged Cross."

Snatched From the
Blotter
Hugh Walpole is continuing his r o mantic chronicle of the Herries family
in the newly published "Judith Paris."
Its predecessor, "Rogue Herries" was a
lusty, exciting picaresque that gave
promise of good things to follow. There
are to be two more novels in the Herries series. That calls to mind the Jalna
trilogy, which will probably like Tennyson's brook, go on forever, "Finch's
Fortune" is the third of the Jalna books
by Maze de la Roche, and if you have
read "Jalna" and "White-oaks of Jalna,"
you needn't be advised to read it. If
you haven't read any of the three, you
are passing up a rare and palatable reading treat.
Take this sentence: "Twas lovely scent
that Willie sent to Millicent"; juggle it
around, incorporate it in a limerick, hurl
it at your room-mate, try it over on
your piano . . . try it over on your
neighbor's piano . . . we're not particular but don't ask why, where, how long,
how often, or in what direction. Notice
the melodic line of utterance, the delectable choice of words, the purist phraseology. What! you didn't. Well, maybe
we were wrong.

Schumann-Heink, courageously trouping at an age when most concert and
opera singers are writing their fourth
book of memoirs, announces a Philadelphia appearance in Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Mikado." This means seven
stage performances the week, in a role
that demands a keen sense of comedy
and thorough vitality. Any one who has
heard her in recent radio programs will
not fear for her complete success in
this latest venture. It does seem a bit
odd, though, that a woman upon whom
highest honors of the musical world
have been lavished, should, after singing minor Wagnerian roles two years ago
at the Metropolitan, now appear in light
opera. Odd—well no—it's merely a portion of the times. And what would we
do if we couldn't drag "the times" into
it?—(Leave it out).

Consolation for the general run of us!
If only the brave deserved the fair,
Much cause is found for pulling hair;
If only the fair deserve the brave.
Much room is found for us to rave.
But brave and fair, we'll bet our share,
There's nothing like a common pair,
To rouse a glad ejaculation.
And thus we voice our consolation
In spats of limp versification.
We, who endowed with common looks.
Want romance real and not from books
Make princesses from kitchen cooks,
And knights from poor mechanics;
This wards off untold panics.
Keeps down lists of insanics.(?)

Boys Hold Y. M. Meeting
The Freshman Day-Room Boys have
become so interested in Y. M. C. A. work
that a temporary committee was formed
among themselves to hold a meeting on
Thursday morning, at 10:30 o'clock A, M.,
in the Y room. This is the first time in
the history of the school that the day
room boys have responded to the call of
a Y meeting. The attendance was quite
large. Edward Rader was in charge.
Mr. Ulmer gave a short talk and some
suggestions regarding their work. The
meetings will continue to be held every
Thursday morning at 10:30 o'clock in the
Y room, the program and work to be
taken eare of by the foUowing committee, elected at the meeting: Edward
Rader, chairman; Robert Hunter, Ray
Oberheim and Robert Breth.
Kermit Stover, President of the Y. M.
C. A., has appointed Edward Rader,
chairman of the group, to a position on
the cabinet of the association. He will
take part in planning the program of the
year for the Y. M. C. A.

Last Monday, Prof. L. J. Ulmer presented to the college assembly an illustrated lecture about one of the most historic shrines in America-Yorktown,
West Virginia, t h e site of Cornwallis'
surrender to Washington just one hundred and fifty years ago,

We'll be "Whispering"

If you love me a little or4ove me a lot
you know that you'll "Always" be sure
of "My Love for You," "Listen to My

Even though you say "Adios" "I'll See
You in My Dreams," and be "Broken

I'll pray for you, night and day for
you to say those "Three Little Words"
(I love you). "You're Just a Dream

Mr. Ulmer spoke of the great pageant
