STUDENIS LAUD WORK OP SENIOR GAST IN
PRESENTATIOy["FRIENDLY ENEMIES"
Senior Class Play Scores Remarkable Hit With Audience; Clever
Three-Act Comedy Given in the College Auditorium
Was Splendidly Performed.
The Senior Class play, "Friendly
Enemies," was presented in the College auditorium, Friday evening,
February 28, and it scored a remarkable hit with the audience. Playing
to an audience that was not one-half
large enough according to the merits
of the production, the cast swayed
the spectators at will. The play was
a three-act comedy based upon the
World War, in which a stubborn German is won to the American cause
through numerous situations.
The setting for the presentation
was in the home of Karl Pfeiffer located in New York City. This part
was portrayed by Foster Augustine,
and was most admirably done. No
one would have thought that Foster
could be such a stubborn pro-German, and his humorous characterizations were presented with the style
of an artist. Russell, who played the

RENOVO Y. M. C. A. LOSES
TO LOCAL VARSITY
A REAL COME-BACK
Last Tuesday evening on the college court the local Teachers' College
quintet defeated the powerful Renovo Y. M. C. A. five by a score of
30-29 in one of the most thrilling
and hard-fought contests of the season. The locals were ahead from the
very beginning and never relinquished the lead at any time although the
visitors, through a desperate spurt
during the last quarter came within
a single point of tying the score. This
victory becomes more significant
when the record of the visitors is
made known.
The up-river quintet boasts of one
of the strongest independent basketball teams in the State and, up to
last Tuesday evening, had compiled
a season record of thirteen straight
victories without a single defeat. In
running up this string of victories
the Renovo Y. M. C. A. has met and
defeated Y. M. C. A. teams from St.
Marys, Jersey Shore, Sunbury, Milton, Bellefonte and other teams

"USE OF SUNDAY SPARE
TIME" DISCUSSED
Vespers on Sunday evening once
again took a turn toward helping us
fulfill our ideals. What shall we do
with our Sunday spare time was the
theme of Miss Russell's talk.
It seems that when every Sunday
in the year is counted there are seven weeks of days on which we are to
rest and worship. Miss Russell gave
quotations from the Bible to explain
the meaning of the Sabbath. She also
referred to our little "New Year's
Thought" cards that Mr. Ulmer gave
us early in the year.
Every one should do his part in
keeping Sunday a day of rest and
recreation not only of body but spirit
too.
To do this we must stop commercializing Sunday.
Miss Edith Sharpe gave a reading
called "The Story of Patsy" and
every heart in that audience was
touched by Patsy's fidelity to his
teacher. We all hope to hear Miss
Sharpe again.

LAST NUMBER OF MUSIC
COURSE GIVEN MARCH 7
An outstanding opportunity is offered to those interested in music,
when the concluding entertainment
of the Musical Artists' Course will
be given by Felix Salmond, noted
English 'cellist, in the auditorium at
8:15 on Friday evening, March 7.
Mr. Salmond is reputed to be one
of the world's foremost 'cellists. He
has played with the best orchestras
in the United States and with the
most famous pianists of Europe.
England acclaims him the greatest
'cellist that she has ever produced,
and America asserts that his playing
is phenomenal.
This is, without a doubt, a rare opportunity and it is hoped that none
of us will fail to recognize it as such
and miss it.
THAT'S DIFFERENT.

Debtor:—"Oh, that's all right

Faculty Members Attend N. E. A. Meetings
S. T. C ' s representatives at the
N. E. A. Convention at Atlantic City,
February 22-27, were Dr. Armstrong,
Miss Pollock, Miss Roek, Miss Edgerton and Miss Holaway. They all returned filled with news of the convention and of the fine time they had.
The general theme of the convention was "Education in the Spirit of
Life." "Education is Life," says the
official program. "This statement of
the philosopher which seemed so radical when first uttered, is now generally accepted. American education
is engaged in the process of putting
the ideal into practice. As we would
have life, so must our education be."
The program of the convention
was divided into seven aspects of education in its relationship to life:
"Life is idealistic: education must
aim high.
Life is friendly: education must
develop a social spirit.
Life is dynamic: education must
move forward aggressively.
Life is practical: education must
be efiicient.
Life is recreative: education must
train for leisure.
Life is progressive: education
must adjust itself to new needs.
Life is cooperative: education
must itself cooperate.'"
Features of the convention included "The Pageant of Time," built
around the theme "Education Must
Train For Leisure." This dramatic
spectacle, directed by Pedcy Jewett
Burrell, was presented by 2500 teachers and pupils of the New Jersey
Schools. The National High School
Orchestra, with Walter Damrosch as
guest conductor, played for delegates
on Thursday afternoon, February 27.
This orchestra is made up of high
school students from
forty-eight
States.
The first general session was held
Saturday afternoon at which time
the exhibits of educational supplies
and equipment was opened. These
exhibits constituted an educational
fair of great magnitude. Here educators saw demonstrated educative
tools and texts of great assistance in
the development of the educational
programs of the nation.
Many noted educators appeared on
the programs of the convention,
among whom were Frank Cody, Superintendent of Schools, Detroit,
Mich., and President of the Department of Superintendence of the N.
E. A.; William John Cooper, United
States Commissioner of Education,
Washington, D. C ; William C. Bagley, Professor of Education, Columbia University, New York City. A
very interesting address was given by

The Maroon and Gray basketball
season closed Saturday evening with
the greatest exhibition of close
guarding by both teams that has been
witnessed on the local court in years.
Although the Raiders went down to a
surprise defeat at the hand of the
Dickinson Seminary quintet by a
score of 23-18, they put up a great
fight and deserved a better fate. The
visitors, too, put up a wonderful
guarding game and this plus a last
minute offensive earned for them the
verdict.
Very Poor Shooting by Locals.

WHAT A LIFE
Podunk Corners, 111.
Dear Agnes:—
Well, here I am again. Wot a life!
Today I'll write about the new philosophy of education; you know, the
child centered sehool, education in a
dumb-ocracy, etc. Now I ain't exaggerating when I say that today a
child is supposed to run hisself—you
know, just set him in the right
school environment, whatever that is,
and he'll set up his ovm objectives,
plan his own career, do his own learning, (we don't need no teaching) run
the school, grade the teachers, advise
the principal, help the mayor, improve the street and fire departments,
close the speak-easies, clean the
streets and even wash behind his own
ears. In addition he will attend to
the home, wise up his parents in the
way they should go, decorate the parlor, fix the vacuum cleaner, oil the
can opener, and wash his own teeth.
In his spare time he will reform the
church, compose the Bowlder Dam
controversy, revise the tariff, bring
about naval parity, subdue the Haitians, sell steel short, and oh, yes,
incidentally do his home work. Wot
a Life!
As ever,

her $300.00 (three hundred, mind

equally as prominent. With this in
mind the great prestige which the
Raiders gained as a result of their
latest conquest can easily be seen.
This splendid victory over such a
worthy foe as Renovo proved to be
will more than make-up for some of
the early season disappointments that
fell to the lot of the local boys. The
visitors had expected a rather easy
conquest but a last minute change
saw their first-string line-up face the
locals a t the start and few substitutions were made, showing that the
up-river quintet respected the powers of the Raiders.
The scoring of the locals was fairly evenly distributed. Plummer and
Bardo led with ten and nine points
respectively while Poust ran up a
total of six points. Cowfer contributed two double-deckers while Robb,
though scoring but a single point, was
directly responsible for most of the
points scored by his teammates. His
passing, guarding and general
allaround playing was an outstanding
feature of the game. The other members of the team outplayed their
more experienced opponents during
the greater part of the game and except for the last few minutes of play,
the game was all in favor of the locals.
The game opened with Cowfer
netting a short field goal after receiving a fast pass from Robb. Following this, the up-river five tied the
score on a pretty follow-up shot.
Bardo, soon after, tossed a neat twinpointer, putting the locals in the lead.
Plummer followed this score with a
pair of successful free throws. Bardo, on a pretty pass from Robb, netted a double decker. He continued
his scoring spree by netting a free
throw, putting the Raiders ahead by
9-2. Plummer tossed a free throw
and Cowfer, with a clear floor, dribbled in to the basket and shoved a
double-decker through the cords.
With the score 12-2 against them, the
visitors called time out. After play
was resumed Cowfer snapped a pass
to Poust—the latter netted a field
goal, raising the score to 14-2. Renovo rallied and scored two twinpointers just before the whistle blew,
ending the first quarter with the
score 14-6 in favor of the locals.
Resuming play at the end of the
rest period the visitors continued
their scoring by netting a field goal
from the side court. Robb followed
this with a wonderful pass to Bardo
and the latter completed the play
with a double-decker on a short toss.
The score was now 16-8. The visitors tallied again on a long shot from
outside the foul line. Plummer successfully netted a free throw. Getting the ball on the rebound from the
backboard, one of the visitors, on a
pretty follow-up shot, scored a two
pointer. Bardo sank a long shot from
outside the foul line and Poust caged
a short toss under the basket just before the half ended, the score being
21-13 in favor of the Raiders.

The fifth series of the Intra-Mural
Basketball League was run off last
Wednesday evening in the usual efficient manner. As a result of the
games a 3-way tie exists in the American League with Bossert, Parsons
and Cross on top. In the National
League McLean's outfit continued
its dizzy pace, remaining undefeated,
by stopping Grieco's rejuvenated
quintet by a score of 41-21. McLean
topped the scorers for the winners
with Hatter and Sundberg doing most
of the scoring for Grieco's band. In
the other National League game, Kell
took Johnson's five into camp by a
42-23 score. Risch, Lohr and Kell divided the scoring for the Kellites
while R. Smith was high scorer for
the locals.
In the American League, Parson's
fast traveling outfit copped its third
consecutive victory to push into a
triple deadlock for first place by
downing Cross' quintet by a score of
23-21. Cross and Bloom led the scoring for the losers while Parsons and
Sekula showed the way for the winners. Bossert made it a three-way
tie for the top position when his outfit vanquished Rorabaugh's band by a
score of 40-29. In this free scoring
affair Bossert, Mack and Emery looked good for the winners with Eliason
leading the way for the losers.

The close guarding of the Raiders

He held the highly touted Muse, the

thus showing up the visitors' offensive play considerably as it was built
around this player. Captain Cowfer
and Bardo, besides furnishing the
scoring power of the locals, played a
bang-up game at guard. Robb contributed a double-decker to the score
on the feature play of the evening
and, with Plummer, aided in keeping
down the visitors' score by some very
close guarding. In fact, the guarding was so close that the visitors
could not get past the foul line until

local defense loosened up in an attempt to tie the score.

PENNSYLVANIA DAY
TALK BY MR. ULMER

Pennsylvania Day, Tuesday, March
4, was observed at our College by a
speech given by Mr. Ulmer explaining the reasons for having another
special day on our calendar, and telling something of the life of the
founder of our Commonwealth, William Penn.
It has been the privilege of Mr.
Ulmer to see the original charter for
land granted to William Penn, a document which is carefully guarded in
the Pennsylvania Museum at Harrisburg.
Mr. Ulmer also read interesting
selections from a book written by
William Penn, entitled, "Fruits of
Solitude or Reflections and Maxims."
Mr. Ulmer then introduced a new
song, which was written, he said,
many years ago by a native Pennsylvanian, Dr. Towner, and flrst sung at

o

j

a Y. M. C. A. conference a t a Pennsylvania gathering at Northfield,
Mass. The words of the song appear
below.

PENNSYLVANIA SONG
Hail the Keystone State
With her memories old.
With her heroes great
On our hearts enrolled.
Loyal sons and true
Give Thee honor due.
And our strength renew,
Pennsylvania.

Thy rivers and rills.

The game opened with all the earmarks of a closely guarded contest.
Both teams played speedy basketball
but for several minutes no score was
made, so close was the guarding. Finally, after several minutes of play, a
visiting player managed to flnd the
cords for the twin-pointer on a follow-up play. For several minutes no
other play was made as the ball seesawed back and forth, the guarding
on both sides being such that few attempts to score were made. A pretty
play, Cowfer, to Poust to Cowfer,
followed by a short toss by the latter,
tied the score at 2 all.
Por the remainder of the quarter
the ball went back and forth and so
close was the guarding that the quarter ended with the score remaining at
2 all.
The second quarter began exactly
as the flrst had begun except that the
visitors scored on a side toss shortly
after play was begun. Poust caged
one of two free throws, bringing the
score to 4-3 in favor of the Ministers.
Following this one of the visiting
players again found the net for a
double-decker, the locals taking time
out after this play. When play was
resumed, Poust was fouled as he was
about to shoot and was successful in
one of the two free throws. On the
next play, Plummer secured the tipoff and snapped a speedy pass to Bardo, free under the basket, who tossed
a short one for two points, tying the
score at 6 all. Just bef jre the half
ended, after several minutes of very
close guarding in which neither team
could score, a visiting player arched
a shot that passed through the hoop
for a twin-pointer, giving the visitors
an 8-6 lead at half-time.

The third quarter began with the
visitors scoring on a pretty toss from
outside the foul line. Plummer pushed a double-decker through the cords
from under the basket. A side shot
netted the visitors two points, making the score 23-17. Plummer netted a twin pointer, immediately followed by a double-decker by a visiting player from the side. Poust scored on a short toss, followed by a twopointer by the visitors making the
score 27-21 in favor of the Teachers
a t which flgure it remained until the
quarter ended.
The flnal quarter was one of the
most hectic fought on the local court.
The visitors, flghting to regain the
lead and preserve their long winning
streak, put on a spurt that almost resulted in a defeat but the hard-fighting Raiders, leading consistently
throughout the game, were not to be
denied a well-earned victory. They
clung to their fast dwindling lead
with a flerce tenacity and flnally won
out.
The visitors opened the flnal quarter by scoring a pair of twin-pointers,
putting the score up to 27-25. The
locals took time out and when play
was resumed Robb was fouled and
made good the free throw.
Plummer scored a double-decker on a wellexecuted tip-off play, giving the
Raiders a 30-25 lead.
Then came the play that caused no
little argument. A visiting player
was dribbling down the side court as
the flnal whistle blew, ending the
game. At the same time the player
stopped short and tossed the ball toward the basket, although the game
was over before the ball had left his
hands. The shot was successful and,
basing their argument on this plus
the natural desire to preserve their
winning streak by all means, the visitors attempted to argue it out with
Referee Helsel, who rendered a decision in favor of the locals.
Inasmuch as the rule regarding
such a situation states that the game
is over as soon as the timer's whistle
blows the decision was justly and
correctly rendered. Those who were
fortunate in witnessing this game
saw a spectacle they will long remember; those who were unable to be
present—^well, it was too bad for
them, they missed something worth
while.
