Bring on the COLLEGE TIMES Midnite Oil State Teachers College, Lock Haven, Penna. VOL. VII—NO. 51 ANNUAL PROM PROVES TO RE A CLEVER AFFAIR Gymnasium Was Transformed Into a Beautiful Court Yard Filled With Flowers and Foliage. Undoubtedly the most artistic dance of the college season was held in the gymnasium last Saturday evening. May 3, when the Juniors entertained the faculty and students at the annual Promenade. Establishing a new precedent this year, the Juniors held a strictly formal dance which was both charming and unusual in the informality of its spirit. As the dancers, over two hundred in number, assembled, they found a gymnasium transformed by the diligence of Miss Atherton, Art Supervisor; Miss Moran, chairman of the Decorating Committee and her trusty cohorts, into a most delightful courtyard with flowers and green shrubbery on all sides and peeping out between the flowers and shrubs appeared neatly shuttered windows, topped by gaily colored awnings. Beneath one large awning sat Joe Vanucci's Orchestra which droned out rhythmic lovely garden they were graciously received by hosts and hostesses including Laura Smith and George McMullen, Presidents of the Junior Class; Miss Daniel and Mr. Patterson, Class Advisors; Miss Holaway, Dean of Women; Mrs. Patterson, Lillian Lawhead and Mr. Collins. From 8:30 until 11:30 the guests were entertained in the lovely garden and few were those who wished to leave even when it was all over. The Junior Class deserves commendation for its successful Prom and if the dance this year can be looked upon as a forecast of the Senior Ball next year, there is no doubt about everyone reserving that date. Those who were in charge of the dance besides the persons mentioned were Music Committee: chairman, William Sweet; Invitations and Programs, Eleanor Sauers; Entertainment, Sara Wilson; Refreshments, Mary Woika; Property, Norman Lohr and the whole class as very capable helpers. FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1930 WEBS I have spun a web— Silken threads Stretching from nothing to eternity. I have woven a destiny— Fancied shapes Hung in the sky. The spider spins its web. Knowing the way Its feet must wander. I knew not how to spin my web. The Fates Helped me. INTRA-MURAL BASEBALL Monday, April 28, the first game of an intra-mural baseball league was pla.yed on the college athletic field between McMullen's and McLean's teams. This game was won by McLean's team by the score of 3-2. The outstanding players for the victors were Walizer and Renninger, the latter only allowing one hit. McCall and McMullen stood out for the losers. On Wednesday, April 30, the teams of Smith and Rice staged a slugfost, which was won by Smith's team by 19-9. The hitting of John Miller and Ziff stood out for Smith's team, vi\n\e Bloom and Sekula starred for the losers. This game was featured by heavy hitting by both teams, and the result was in doubt until the final innings. On Friday, May 2, Kachick's and McMullen's teams staged a hotly contested battle which was won by Kachick's team by the score of 12-8. Parsons and Kachick were the outstanding players on Kachick's team, while Plummer and Hager looked good for the losers. Chester McCall was injured in the second inning of this game and had to leave the game. A MAY DAY The river was lapping over the stones. And coming to rest in a quiet pool.

UghflT!" grunted Mr. Pig as he waddled to and fro in his old rickety pen. "I'm getting awful fat!" "Yes," replied Mrs. Pig, "you are getting fat, in fact, if you don't reduce you will soon be fresh pork instead of an honest, respectable pig." "I believe," said the gentleman of the Pig family, "I shall go over and get in on a few games of tennis on the teachers college courts. There are a lot of other tennis pigs over there, and I will not be out of place." So, everyday we see Mr. Pig and his friends on the courts, for hours at a time, while the college students wait patiently for a chance to play. The following is the result of the recent W. A.
