FORWARD PASSES PROVE
NEMESIS TO OUR TEAM

SAM LONG ELECTED EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF YEAR BOOK.
STAFF WORKING HARD FOR BIGGER AND BETTER PRAECO
As has been the custom for a number of years the Senior class elected
the staff for their annual book "The
Praeco." There may be a few who
do not know that this is a fitting
name. In common English it means
"the announcer" and announcer it
surely is. If you do not want your
pet faults, hobbies and best beloveds
aired before a curious student body,
it would be best for you to keep them
well hidden from the Praeco staff.
Sam Long, who was elected editorin-chief, is beginning to get his plans
in good working order. The other
members of the staff are assuming
their duties and expect to have a plan
working well in a short time.
Ray Zaner was chosen by the class
to take charge of the business affairs
of the project. Evidently Ray will
be quite busy with money matters
and other staff business.
Then of course there simply would
not be a year book without pictures.
A very competent photograph editor
was chosen when Foster Augustine
was selected.
Then there is Edward Speck who
will be the "man with the little black
box." As snapshot editor he feels it

his duty to find all the exciting moments around the campus and snap
them. So do not be surprised if you
see your picture in the year book in a
very romantic pose.
Mary Barnard is using her artistic
ability to the utmost. Yes, we expect
great things with Mary as art editor
and from what she says our hopes are
well founded.
Of course the other classes must
not feel that this book is entirely
Senior property.
From the Junior
class Irene Russell has been selected
to help in this worthy cause and as
the Sophomore class representative,
Olive Livingston is doing her bit.
It is the opinion of the staff that
they can make this year's Praeco the
best and most interesting book that
has been published at S. T. C. At
present they are working especially
on the type of a book they are going
to develop. In a short time they expect to have the plans ready and then
will the honest toil begin. The staft'
believes if the student body will support them that they can attain their
goal, a bigger and better Praeco.
Let's show them that we are willing
to do all we can to help them along.

"TALES OF HOFFMAN" TO BE
FIRST MUSICAL OF THE YEAR

A special chapel service in commemoration of Armistice Day was
held at 10:30 on Monday, November
11, with Mr. Ulmer in charge. Coach
Morgan, sjieaking on the meaning of
Armistice Day from the viewpoint of
the soldier, gave only a short talk
but one which cut a deep impression
upon the minds of those who heard
him.
Significance of Armistice Day.
Mr. Morgan, who saw active service with the American artillery in
France, told of the feeling which

The Student Government Association that has been organized in the
Junior High School this year is working and Jilanning the activities which

The Opera "The Tales of Hoffman" the first number of the Musical
Artists' Course at State Teachers
College for this season will be giveii
in the College auditorium Thursday
evening, November 21, at eight
o'clock.
The Opera is a wholesome, attractive, jiicturesque story with a beautiful musical setting. This particular
prograni may well be considered a
Grand Opera in its most entertaining
form. The cast of principals has been
selected with the utmost eare. Each
voice, each personality, has been secured because of its fitness to properly portray the character assigned
to It.
Patrons of this Opera may look
forward to a most excellent production. Not only on account of the
calibre of the principals but because
the chorus is none other than the
famous Boston Male Choir which has
ajipeared here in previous engagements. No Opera Company, including the Metropolitan and Chicago
companies, has ever given the public
in their choruses a better operatic
production.

Plays Overwhelm Maroon
and Gray.

Keep Fighting, Team
The Maroon and Gray eleven, led
by Coach Morgan, travelled to Shippensburg for the annual football
clash at that place last Saturday
afternoon.
The results speak for
themselves in telling the story of a
speedy aggregation that downed the
local eleven by a score of 26-0. Forward passes which have proved a
nemesis to Teachers College in almost
every game this year again played a
big part in the score. As usual the
Maroon and Gray line more than
held its own with the heavier Shippensburg line but the fast running
and shifty backfleld that opposed the
locals was too much for them to overcome.
It was all Shippensburg from beginning to end with the result never
in doubt after Shippensburg had scored its flrst touchdown. The Maroon
and Gray backs simply could not get
going and only on a few occasions did
the locals gain ground. The entire
team fought hard but could do little
or nothing against their heavier opponents who gained ground fairly
consistently by long, wide-sweeping
end runs and forward passes. To
point out any individual stars who
stood out for the locals would be imContinued On Page P'our

ATTENDS CONFERENCE
"Mental Health of High School
and College Students" Was
Topic Discussed.
The ninth annual meeting of the
Pennsylvania Association of Deans
of Women met in Harrisburg on
November eighth and ninth. The subject for consideration at this meeting
was "Mental Health of the High
School and College Student."
The meeting opened at one o'clock
Friday with a luncheon at the PennHarris Hotel. At two o'clock Doctor
Frederick Allen, head of the Philadelphia Child Guidance Clinic, spoke
on the subject, "Means of Preserving
Mental Health.
Doctor Allen emphasized the fact
that psychiatry and psychology are
no longer concerned with mental
sickness but are concerned with the
prevention of mental sickness by
leading the individual to adjust himself at each stage in life. The successful and liapjiy adult is the one
who has lived through the dependent
stages in his physical, mental and
emotional life and has attained adequacy in each realm. Life, abundantly exjierienced, means a constant
adjustment.
Face Situations.
Doctor Allen discussed some of the
evasions of reality which contribute
to an unhealthy mental condition.
The only wholesome mental condition
is to face situations as they arise and
make the necessary adjustment.
Following the banquet Friday evening, the group was addres.sed by three
speakers. President Filler, of Dickinson College, spoke on "Some Inheritances of the American College."
He pointed out that all inheritances
were not good. He advocated higher
tuition rates, stating that appreciation goes with paying the price.
Ounce of Prevention.
Eleanor Lord, former Dean of
Goucher College, spoke on "The
Ounce of Prevention."
The last
speaker of the evening was Dean
Thyrsa Amos, of the University of
Pittsburgh. Her subject was "The
Moral Obligation to be Interesting."
Dean Amos stated that the proper
way to be interesting was to become
interested. Be what you are and you
will be interesting and different.
Dean Amos also mentioned the fact
that fear of failure many times keep

On Thursday evening, November
8, the upperclassmen's tribunal convened to try many serious cases
which have accumulated in the past
couple of weeks. The offenders seemed to have been .several notorious
Freshmen who in open repugnance
disregarded the very lax rules which
the upperclassmen have deemed the
Freshmen worthy enough to obey.
Justice -was meted out swiftly and
effectively. Much leniency was shown
by Mr. Bohn, the president of the
tribunal, and several new laws were
passed to make enforcement more
efficient.
Some of the charges were very serious and required strict discipline. Insubordination, cigarette begging, unbuttoned coats, walking on grass,
hands in pockets, and similar other
grave offenses were tried and appropriate penalties were inflicted.
SHAKE NOTES

The flrst number was a book review
of "The Flower of Spain," a short
novel. Earnest Wagner showed his
ability in this report and interested
his audience very much.
The second nuniber was an illustrated talk on the Stage and Setting
of the Grecian Drama by Maude
Cunningham. Miss Cunningham described the drama from its earliest
development in a religious cult in
Greece.
Royce Johnson came third on the
program with another book review of
Mary Roberts Rhinehart's "TwentyThree and One-Half Hours' Leave."
Of course Mr. Johnson used his ability to tell jokes and he really made
the talk extremely entertaining as
well as instructive.
Number four was Lester McCall
with Scauffler's poem "Scum 'O the
Earth." It seems as though McCall
does not hear and talk enough poetry
in class, but this only made it more
interesting.
Last but by no means least came
Edwin McDonald with another fine
talk. Only this time it was an adventure story, not a football talk. The
book he reviewed was "Smith and the
Rharves."
After the program criticisms were
given by the faculty advisors. Miss
Pollock, Dr. Rude and Mr. Gage. The
next meeting will be the second Monday in December.
SORORITY DINNER
The Alpha Sigma Tau members, together with Mrs. Mac Dougall, their
advisor and some alumni had an enjoyable dinner at Roster's Restaurant
on Thursday evening, November 7,
at 6:30, to celebrate the National
Founders Day of the Fraternity.
After dinner the girls were guests in
the home of Mrs. Mac Dougall where
a pleasant evening was spent in playing cards and dancing.

The regular bi-monthly meeting of

year.

The wind gives a shout.
As he bows down the trees.
And he scatters about,
All the bright colored leaves.
The frost seems triumphant:
The trees now are bare:
The sun stands defiant
At the frost's cruel stare.
The wind becomes certain
The race he has won;
He moves the cloud curtain
He laughs at the sun.
But still the sun smiles;
Though the wind and the frost,
Have advanced many miles,
And the race now seems lost.
Looking back at the sun,
From a clump of green moss,
"The race we have won,"
Said the wind to the frost.
The sun kept on going.
He paused not to rest.
Low came the winds blowing,
From a snug mossy nest.
At last on awaking
From his sleep in the trees
He found the sun smiling
On a mound of red leaves.
The day was as warm
As a day in mid J u n e ;
When the bees start to swarm
And the world awakes soon.
The moon judged the race,
To be nobly won,
By the bright smiling face
Of our dear friend the sun.
Maude Cunningham, '30.

STUDENTS URGED TO AID
TEAM IN KEEPING RULES
Coach Morgan gave a stirring talk
in chapel on Wednesda.y, November 6,
in which he congratulated the students on their increase of college
spirit. He especially congratulated
the students who were at the Bloomsburg game on the splendid spirit displayed by staying so loyally behind
the team regardless of the weather.
Many of the players have responded splendidly to the training rules,
but he reminded them that those
rules are in effect for ten more days.
A team that represents this school
must be a team that keeps training
rules, that plays football from the
iieck up and that goes into a football
game to do just one thing—to play
football.
"A team who won't be
beat, can't be beat." The applause
that greeted this statement proved
that the coach expressed the beliefs
of the entire student body.

In this issue of the Times there appears a report of the progress being
made in the organization of the Student Government Association of the
Junior High School of the Training
School. This Association is a matter
of great interest to all who are or will
be connected with the Training
School.
Student Government is still somewhat in the try-out stage as far as
practical educators are concerned.
In our Training School it was first organized during the latter jiart of the
second semester of last year; it has
shown marked improvement and has
been of such benefit to the Jiupils who
are learning to operate and cooperate under its rule, that the supervisors are greatly encouraged.
This experiment, which is fast becoming an established system, will
bear watching. It is a fine chance
for prospective teachers to watch the
development of one of the most important principles of modern education, which has as its purpose the
fitting of children for their places in
the great democracy that is the life
of today.

COLLEGE TIMES
CHARIVARI
Being Ruminations on Books.
Along with the October falling of
leaves has come another descending
not one thought less brilliant: the
shower of fall publications from the
domains of those staunch defenders
of American thought and culture—
our gloriously intellectual publishers,
fellow students. And booksellers all
the length of Main Street have pushed their stocks of guide books to back
shelves and have filled their display
racks with detective stories, problem
novels, and unexpurgated dissertations on everybody who's who, all of
which are calculated to actuate the
intelligence and provide pastime during those drowsy, crepuscular hours
between the finish of tomorrow's final
assignment and bed.
If you want to get fully into the
bleak late autumn atmosphere open
Ellen Glasgow's "They Stooped To
Folly" and you'll be drenched with a
November drizzle and Mr. Virginius
Littlepage's restlessly discreet cogitations. Mr. Littlepage represents the
gilded and hollow tradition of Southern wealth and respectability and it
is over such a disturbing standard
that the forces of three women's
lives flow. "They stooped to folly"—
but they dared to independently
search for their own happiness. Is
such a policy more commendable than
a conventional stifling of one's soul?
But we suggest that you decide for
yourself by going down to the lending library and borrowing Miss Glasgow's novel of spangled epigrams.
We presume that by now everybody has gasped at Remarque's, "All
Quiet On The Western Front," but
in case you've let too many exam
preparations prevent, we insist—yea,
demand—that you do it immediately.
We haven't shuddered so much over
a war account since we read Stephen
Crane's "The Red Badge of Courage"
which made us feel "the sense of
death," as Helen Hoyt poetically
terms it, brushing terribly across our
mind and flesh. Although depicting
the primitive horror of war and the
wholesale slaughtering of human life,
as it does, it makes us see the
grotesque futility of military strife—
of any strife. If such a book outrages
our sensitiveness, it gives us a greater realization of the need and value
of peace . . . For the information of
those male occupants of the dormitory who might be further interested
in Tin Hat stories we list: "Journey's
End," by Sheriff; "John Brown's
Body," by S. V. Benet (don't shy at
this because it's a poem), and Larry
Baretto's "Horses in the Sky."

GOD'S HAND
Some see God's hand only
In the moon, the stars and the sky;
The trees and rushing waters,
The clouds that, thriftless, lie.
But I see Him in my garden
Where fragrance flowers bloom;
In a patch of wild forget-me-nots
That scents the twilight gloom.
In the dew that drips from the roses,
Filled with heavenly love;
In the pale shoots just budding,
I feel the power of Him above!

came to the soldiers in the lines when
the news of Armistice reached them
on November 11, 1919, of the unreality of it all that could not be dispelled, of the vivid impressions made
by the thoughts of peace. He went
on to show what a different significance Armistice Day has for various
classes of people, emphasizing especially that to the men who fought in
the World War, November 11, is not
a holiday but a Decoration Day.
After speaking very briefly of
some of the hardships which the
soldiers in France knew during the
cold winter of 1917 and the murderous summer of 1918, Mr. Morgan
tried to bring out a few of the good
influences resulting from the terrible
struggle—the fine men who today
form the American Legion, and the
widespread movement for a true
World Peace which is actually a result of a contest which all humanity
rebelled against.

"We'll play a great game of football

with the last game of the season Saturday.

Cheer up, fellows—regular dates

When do we get our vacation?
What shall I pack?
What time does the train leave?

AUTUMNAL CHANSON
The trees outside my window have
discarded their brilliant party
frocks
Of scarlet, gold and amber.
Only a ghost of brown is left
And the skeletons of the trees
Are silhouetted against the sunset
sky.
The lovely rose of the clouds delicately fades
Until the heavens look like the inside
of a seashell,
As the pink cloud fingers reach across
the azure.
Surely the brilliance of the clouds is
the siiirit
Of the brown leaves on the ground.
Betty Machtley, '31.

THE BUSY MAN
If you want to get a favor done
By some obliging friend.
And want a promise, sure and safe,
On which you may depend.
Don't go to him who always has
Much leisure time to plan.
But if you want your favor done,
Just ask the busy man.
The man with leisure never has
A moment he can spare.
He's always putting off until
His friends are in despair.
But he whose every waking hour
Is crowded full of work,
Forgets the art of wasting time—
He can not stop to shirk.
So when you want a favor done
And want it right away,
Go to the man who constantly
Works twenty-four hours a day.
He'll find a moment, sure, somewhere,
That has no other use.
And fix you while the idle man
Is framing an excuse.

In closing Mr. Morgan drew the lesson which the youth of today should
get from the story of the struggle
which is becoming history to them.
He showed that the same qualities
which made men good citizens, made
them good soldiers when occasion demanded ; these same soldiers gave
everything for an ideal—and the
youth now growing into the best of
life, is that ideal. Mr. Morgan closed with a simple plea that we learn
to appreciate that heritage which is
ours through the sacrifice of those
men who were not afraid to "dare
and die" for an ideal.
Following Mr. Morgan's talk, at
11:00 o'clock the National custom of

possible as every player gave his best
in the face of overwhelming odds.
The next game, the last of the season, is at home next Saturday,
November 16th, with Clarion Teachers College. Let's get behind the boys
and the coach in their final attempt
to serve notice to the other Teachers
Colleges that we are still to be reckoned with as far as football standing
is concerned.

MY MOTHER'S PICTURE
There is an image pure and sweet
Engraven on my heart.
In every line and touch complete,
A master piece of art.
The mortal eyes have never seen
Her whom my thoughts enshrine,
With brow of light and lips sirene
In this poor heart of mine.
But while I hold that treasure dear
No inward foe my soul can sear.
O gentlest one! Some blessed day,
It may be near or far.
My ransomed soul shall speed away
And reach its guiding star.
Mother—how bright the hour will be
When I, in truth, shall gaze on thee.
LOST—A PEN
Pat—"You remember the pen I
lost last week?"
George—"Yeh!"
Pat—"Remember how I looked
high and low for it?"
George—"Yeh!"
Pat—"Well, yesterday, I put my
hand in the vest I had worn that day
I lost the pen, and what do you think
I found in the pocket?"
George—"Your pen—fine !"
Pat—"No.
The hole through
which it had dropped."
Teacher—"Can you name a large
city in Alaska?"
Johnny—"No'm."
