"Shakes from Shakespeare," presented by the Shakespeare Literary
Society, was awarded first prize, with
"Do U No," by the Art Club, and
"Junior Night Out," by the D. R. B.'s
winning and second and third prizes,
respectively, at the third annual Stunt
Night, presented under the auspices
of the Women's Athletic Association
on Tuesday evening, March 10. Stunt
Night, which is held for the purpose
of providing milk for the needy children of the Training School, has become a permanent addition to the so
cial calendar of the college.
The program, as is customary, was
arranged on the competition basis,
prizes being offered for the stunts
taking first, second, and third in originality and ger eral performance.
Three faculty members acted as
judges: Miss Holaway, Hiss Hatcher,
and Dr. Weber.
In the program of stunts there was
exemplified so much talent, and ingenuity of presentation that the
judges were at a loss to decide the
winners. "Shakes from Shakespeare"
represented a graveyard scene during
the funeral of Sister Smith, evoking
from the large audience many laughs
which mingled with the sighs and
tears of the crowd of mourners.
The Art Club stunt was a portrayal
of famous paintings. The scene was
accomplished by means of a large
frame in which students of the club
posed as "The Blue Boy," "The Song
of the Lark," "The Artist's Mother,"
ard "The Age of Innocence." This
stunt was very well planned and artistically portrayed.
"Junior Night Out," an extravaganza of that bi-nightly event in the
women's dormitory of the college was
presented by the experienced Delta
Rho Beta fraternity and kept the
audience in a continual uproar which
reached a hysterical climax with the
entrance of "Mr. Walk" and the capture of the female who dared to be
late. The impersonations were well
done, and the general effect was quite
vivid and true-to-life. This stunt indeed deserved the third prize.
The College Times stunt, "Joys of
an Editor," and the Alpha Sigma Tau
presentation, "Up in the Air," were
given honorable mention. The Times
stunt gave to the student body an excellent idea of the process undergone
by a suffering board of editors in order to publish the College Times. The
Alpha Sigma Tau stunt, "Up in the
Air," revealed a knowledge of astronomy and featured school teaching in
a big way. It was also well received
by the audience.

A crowd of youngsters of varying
sizes and ages romped through an evening of hilarious fun in the college
gym, Saturday, March 14, when the
annual Kid Party, the "classic campus
frolic," was held under the auspices
of the Y. W. C. A. A great variety of
costumes and characters was represented and tho general spirit of
"make-believe," so readily entered
into by all on the main floor of the
gym, away from the "grown-up" observers in the balcony, made the evening a great success.
When the guests arrived they were
greeted by the young hostesses and
pr-esented with lolly-pops, the color of

Colonel Spicer Gives Chapel
Address on "Accidents"
Lieutonant-Colonel Spicer, from
the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, addressed the student-body in chapel on Wednesday
morning, March 11. Colonel Spicer
was accompanied in his visit here by
Albert Karhan, Supervising Inspector,
Department of Labor and Industry,
Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and by
Harry M. Taylor, the local inspector
of the same department.
The subject of Colonel Spicer's address was "Accidents." Accidents, he
said, are worse than war, proved by
the fact that five hundred more persons were killed by automobile accidents than by military loss through a
given length of time. There are three
places which seem to be the most dangerous, namely, the factory, the
highway, and the home. Of these three
the home proves to be the most unsafe place; that is, more are killed in
the home than in any of the other
places.
