On Wednesday evening, March 21, ttudents and townspeople had bvought before them a vivid, dramatic picture of Jim Wilson's trek acvoss North Central Afvica on a motovcycfe; 1200 miles of the route rievcr having been crossed before by an American. Beginning with the hiart amiust the uoubts and wonder ol the crowd, Mr. Wilson described tne hardships, the adventure, and the information he and his companion, Frances Fiood, gained along the trail. The keynote ot his success being his smile and his banjo, he and his partner were fed by the natives; theiv motors were transported across rivers in native canoes; they were recipients of beautiful hand-woven blankets and were royally entertained by an Oxford-graduate native. At one point in their tvip, the two adventurers lost the trail, and late in the afternoon, coming to a rivev over which there was no bridge, they decided to pitch camp for the night. After they weve settled for sleep, Mr. Wilson, heaving native music, followed the sound to the source. He became acquainted with the natives and won their friendship with his laugh, his banjo, and his dancing. The next morning the natives transported the motorcycles acvoss the river in theiv canoe. Again, the two men were entertained by a native, who, having graduated from Oxford, displayed outwardly his western veneer but in the privacy of his home retained the customs of his people. In his inimitable manner. Mr. Wilson dramatized the greeting of the African. Very surprised, he met a native fiercely shaking his fist in the air (Continued on page 2) COLLEGE TIMES COLLEGETIMES 'SIXTH GRADE TIMES" YOUNG JIM WILSON CONVINCES AUDRIVAL OF COLLEGE WEEKLY IENCE AFRICANS ARE HUMANS (Continued from page 1) The College Times is published at (Continued from page 1) Lock Haven State Teachers College, and grinning broadly the while; he A few of the poems are worth beLock Haven, Penna., by the Board of later learned that this gesture is the Editors of the College Times. ing reprinted here: Afvican equivalent of shaking hands.

TUESDAY, MARCH 27, 1934 - ^|EDITORIAL}> During the past few years Dramatics has become an activity of ever increasing importance at Lock Haven. Partly because of increased student support, the dramatic progvam has become one of the most outstanding extra-curricular activities of the college. Last year the regular scheduled class and Dvamatic Club plays enabled practically every student in the college who so desived to participate in some form of dramatics at least once during the yeav. Justification fov the increase in this type of wovk may be found in the seveval activities of the organization. The added poise and ease of manner which the acting cultivates, the experience in carrying on a dramatic project which comes with the executive end of play production, the opportunity to work with settings, make-up, and costuming; and finally, the added understanding of human nature which comes with a successful intevpretition of chavactev—all these are valuable outcomes for those who plan to be futuve teachevs. In addition to those taking active part, the audience, consisting of both townspeople and students, enjoy the opportunity of seeing a few of the current plays as they are interpreted by college actors. A sympathy and intevest is often aroused in this fashion for other college activities. Dramatic wovk is educational, entertaining, and wholesome. That m it.self .should be justification enough. * ** The Playing Snowflakes Wucks before a vacation draws near his nights become sleepless with one haunting idea riding madly, ceaselessly, up and down his neural tracts. It sits with him at his desk and taunts him at his play. "You shall be forced to leave your histoiy and stop your wovk in Fvench. You shall have to depavt from the campus fov five agonizing days. Finally, th'? thought becomes reality. The dreaded day does arvi^^e, and, Isiden with books, the luckless student reluctantly enters the await'ng family Rolls and is borne away to his aboriginal abode. After reaching home and pans, ing only long enough to implore the dear mater not to trouble herself by preparing chicken and waffles for dinner, he unpacks and eagerly delves into his textbooks. He spends all his evenings at home with the family. He refrains from "taking" the natives with the current collegiate "wisecracks." On Easter morning he rises and, finding the air a bit chilly, dons his winter apparel in preference to his new Easter version of what the well dresced will v/eav. He attends chuvch for the express purpose of listening to the sermon and experiences no inflation of ego when the populace stages a post sermon prodigal son act for him. He continues thvough his vacation keeping regular houvs and studying daily. With a feeling of relief he greets the final day of vacation, gladly bids the family farewell, and returns to college overjoyed in settling down for the final grind. He is the average college student. A THRILLING DRAMA TO BE The title . . "When Monsters Meet" . . the cast . .

A Vision Seated in an easy chair, my feet on a footstool, a book in my lap, I drooped and drowsed. I seemed to be walking along Susquehanna Avenue on my way to the Arbor. Being on the right hand side of the road, I passed the powei- plant; then I came to that neat, homey-looking house tucked back in the trees, which belongs to the college. To my surprise I saw curtains at the windows and lamps lit in the rooms. I rubbed my eyes, for it was just yesterday that the windows had been boarded up and no signs of life around. The front door opened and out came a group of students. Upon inquiring I learned that the clubs (Dramatic, Naturalist, Shakespeare, Education and Art) each had a room in the comfy building. One member kindly offeved to take me on an inspection tour. I went with him up the flagstone path. Upon entering the house, I heard a radio going, and saw co-eds playing games in a room which wa., furnished not unlike a modern pailor. In another room lined with interesting books, colkge students weve veading, some singly, some in gvoups. In the kitchen candy was being made by other students. After seeing the club rooms which were on the second floor, I marveled for we were in a depression, and how was such a proejct financed? To my questions the studerts eagerly exp'ained that, rather than have the house stand empty, heat and light had been supplied if they would but furnish the rooms. They had accepted this offer with alacrity. The first floor had been taken care of by the student activity fund, interested alumni, and frienels of the college; the clubs had each furnished their own special room upstairs. As we sat in the parlor talking I happened to glance at a paper and see the date—November, 1934. A shavp noise!! I awoke! My geography book had fallen to the floor and it was Mavch, 1934. I realized I had been drowsing and it was all a vision —but one well worthwhile coming tvue. khana?" You aven't different, fellows; it happens annually. Ask any of the Juniov or Senior men. Since the nine weeks' tests are ovev, many of the students are looking forward to that "schoolless" week we get over Easter? 'Twill be the first "breathing spell" since Xmas.
