Mrs. Lydia Cresswell,
Miss Holaway Attends
Household Director,
Meeting of Dean of
Dies on November 6
Women at Harrisburg
Miss Belle Holaway, Dean of Women,
attended the eleventh annual meeting of
t h e Pennsylvania Association of Deans
of Women, held in Harrisburg at the
Penn-Harris Hotel, November 6th and
7th. The meeting opened at 12:00, Friday,
November 6, 1931, with a question hour.
Lunch was served at 1:15 with Miss
Crawford, University of Pennsylvania,
presiding.
The general theme of this meeting was
mental, physical, and spiritual health.
Dr. Kenneth Apple, of Philadelphia,
spoke at 2:15, Friday, upon "The Deans'
Relation to a Mental Health Program."
This was one of the most interesting
addresses given throughout the session.
Some of the points which Dr. Apple
stressed were concerned with t h e efficiency and happiness of the individual
as a whole, and the need of an all-round,
well balanced life and well balanced
personality. He also stated that there
should be a Mental Health Department
in every coUege in the United States. In
his talk Dr. Apple deflned the term "well
balanced personality" as a personality
which is reasonably successful, can meet
failure, can accept injustice and give
justice, believes and practices fair play,
and can get along with other people. In
concluding, he said that being a wholesome personality is the most important
asset of a teacher, friend, or parent.
Elizabeth M. House, President of the
Association, presided at the banquet held
on Friday evening. The speaker for the
evening was Dr. Boyd Edwards, Headmaster, Mercersburg Academy, who confronted the group with the question
"What Is Religion?" Then, in a very interesting manner. Dr. Edwards presented his views, not only upon religion
as it is today, but also upon w h a t religion could be. In elaborating upon
this subject, he quoted Emerson: "Religion is that which urges us to the great
and abiding values." After explaining
through illustrations this definition of
religion. Dr. Edwards said, "Religion is
t h a t which nourishes personal life." He
also stated the cynic's motive of religion
as being more or less a craft to keep
others under control. Dr. Edwards fittingly closed his address with that wise
quotation of Burton Jones: "Make the

Undefeated Kaiserites
Expect Stiff Battle
The last home game of the season finds
Clarion here with a highly touted team
which is out to avenge the two defeats
Lock Haven handed them in 1929 and
1930.
Considered by many of the fans as
having little chance of ruining Lock
Haven's victorious football season, they
may surprise us all tomorrow.
Last Saturday the strong California
Teachers College team found tough opposition in defeating Clarion, 6-0. Though
Clarion has been trampled by most of
the Teachers College teams, they have
lost only by small scores.
Coach Kaiser is leaving nothing to
chance. He is putting his best team on
the field to keep Lock Haven's football
record unblemished.

At 4:00 the Sophomores defeated the

The Freshmen made a good showing

Miss Hatcher Reads a
Short Story in Chapel

Snatched From the
Blotter

The complicated and exciting hunt
for a runaway negro slave late in the
Nineteenth Century, the events that followed his d e p a r t u r e from his master's
estate, and his final return to his home
town, were the theme of an unusually
interesting and delightful story which
Miss Ashton Hatcher read before the
College assembly Wednesday morning.
It was of interest to the students because of its historical background and
because it represents a splendid type of
short story in the English field.

Version 999666.
Snip—"Who was that lady I saw you
with today that I never have seen you
with before?"
Snap—"Musta been my wife."
(talkies)
You know these rather "thick" couples
that dot our campus, day in and day out
. . . On the hill-way the other day, we
heard this: He—"Last night I dreamed
that I was married to the most beautiful,
intellectual, sweetly adorable girl in this
world." She—"I bet we were happy."

Dramatic Club to Award
Prizes to Ticket Sellers
How would you like to have somebody
right up and hand you some money? It
seems almost like a fairy story, and to
tell the truth, indirectly it is the result
of one. Surely you've heard about the
production, "The Ivory Door," the Dramatic Club is to present on the 11th of
December. The club has decided to give
t h r e e cash prizes, a first, a second and a
third, to t h e students selling the greatest n u m b e r of tickets by noon of Decemb e r 11th. Wouldn't that money come in
h a n d y for t h a t surprise Christmas gift?
You had b e t t e r see Martha Zeigler for
f u r t h e r information and get started selling those tickets immediately.

most of your best." To this he added:
"Make your job as close an understanding and as affectionate as you can." An
interesting thought for school advisers
was drawn from these words.
Saturday morning, November 7, a report of the Speeial Research Committee was given by Miss Margaret MacDonald, Cheltenham High School, and
Dr. Martha Tracy, Dean of Women's
Medical College of Pennsylvania, spoke
upon "Leaders in the Art of Living."
The topic of her address was introduced
through the statement, "Human nature
being what it is, there must be leaders."
She enumerated three points of attack
for a physical health program: dissemination of knowledge in connection with
health, personal example, and motivation to arouse in another to do what is
being demonstrated. The four factors
which enter into physical health as she
stated them include eating, resting, exercising and meeting life serenely. In conclusion. Dr. Tracy gave a worthwhile
definition of education: "Education is
co-education in relation to the mind and
the body."
At 11:30, on Saturday, a business session was held during which officers for
the coming year were elected. Miss
Charlotte Ray, Dean of Women at State
CoUege, is the newly elected president.
The meeting of the Pennsylvania Association of Deans of Women adjourned
at noon Saturday, November 7, 1931.
