(Cuntlnued ou imise 3) Dr. Armstrong made three Chapel addresses to the students at the opening of the College year. In the first address he took up the Entrance Requirements and the Required Standards of College Work and spoke in part as follows: "There has been much said about the admission requirements for Pennsylvania State Teachers Colleges. I think you are all familiar with the requirements. This year it is necessary for a new applicant to have ranked in the upper-half of his high school class at graduation. It was possible for some who did not rank in the upper-half to take certain tests here and, if passed successfully, in that way be admitted to the College. It was pleasing to us to learn as we went along that nearly all the applicants we had this year for admission to the College were in the upper-rhalf of their high school classes. We have enrolled this year many students who ranked nrst in their classes at high school and that promises a lot for the gisde of work which they will be able to do here and the quality of teacher that we shall be able to send out from here. Then there was another limitation on this enrollment, that we could not admit more students to the College than would make our enrollment C.rss at registration to less than 80% was last year. This cut our Freshman enrollment down severely. That regulation was then changed by the State Superintendent to read that we H. S. T. C's Armistice Day program, in which talks, music and poetry were pleasingly mingled. At ten forty-five the students assembled in the auditorium, where Mr. Ira Fleming, who is an ex-service man, opened the service by reading the Scripture. At two minutes before eleven o'clock everyone stood, and observed a two-minute period of silence in respect to those who gave their lives in the World War. In a group of selected poems, including "Road Refugees," "Counter Attack," "Does it Matter" and "A Challenge from the Dead," Miss Mabel-Louise Arey gave a vivid picture of the horrors of war. Each poem made everyone present realize a little more fully the hardships and the price our boys paid "Over There." Stirring patriotic days of 1914 were again relived when Mr. George Lehman sang "The Americans Come." In conclusion, Mr. Samuel Smith, another of our ex-service men, spoke on the World War, showing that unemployment, prohibition and widespread graft are the aftermath of the War.
