X COLLEGE TIMES COLLEGE TIMES UNCLE WILLIE The College Times is published at Lock Haven State Teachers College, Lock Haven, Penna., by the Board of Editors of the College Times. Dear friends, in all it's plain to see that little Willie intends to be a regular columnist in this place provided the Times shells out the space. A few weeks ago I told you all how I saw the swell statues in the hall. This week in this column it will be read how little Willie went to bed. After those dames had knocked me flat I climbs to my feet and I straightens my hat and I grabs my bags and I climbs the stairs and I starts in praying wee little prayers that the dames who inhabit this place are not like those girls who walked on my face. Finally I reaches the toppermost floor and stops to inquire at the very first door of a teeny wee miss, quite strange to see, where room labeled 371 might be. The little girl set her face in a look quite grim—sez she, my good man, your room's in the gym. In the gym, I sed, but I don't quite see what being roomed in the gym makes me. Oh my, but you're dumb, said the miniature lass. That room puts you in the gym class. I swallowed this crack without a squeak—to me this line resembled Greek. I picked up my bags and I starts down the hall and bumps into ladies both short and tall and my heart welled up till it touched my hat—wait until I run around with a bunch of combs adorning my head. And down the hall like a shot I sped. I went around the stairs and I came to my room—goodness what a horrible place of gloom. There were no lights in this funny place, only great big stretch of deep dark space. I poked around till I bumped my head, but I couldn't stem to locate the bed. The only thing lying around l-ke that i was a funny old mat. I fell and inI tended to weep but sez I I'll just go to [ sleep with my brand new coat rolled under my head. So I streched out on this queer old bed. My very last thought I though while awake was how in heck would I get awake? Published weekly during school year. Subscription rate, $1.00 per annum.

Not o-ily have the members of the Kiwanis Club shown their interest in our athletic organization by entertaining the football men at their meetings but they have also aided our dramatic productions by the loan of furniture and what is probably of greatest benefit to us, they have sponsored our annual magazine by buying advertising space in the directory. The school directory is the Praeco staff's method of soliciting town financial aid for the yearbook. The value of the directory as a means of finding information quickly is well known to all those upper-classmen who have had occasion to use it. And the value of the Praeco need not be stressed here. Since the business men have given us their support in the matter of directory anti Praeco publication, it is our duty to see that they are fully rewarded for this assistance. Read the directory when it comes out and be sure to note the best dress shop, shoe store, and druggist. See that you patronize those who patronize you. Back your backers. Florence Ayres spent Saturday and Sunday at her home at White Pine. She had as her guest Eileen Perry, of Renovo. Miss Belle Holaway Attends Conference Held at Detroit ( C o n t i n u e d from i>:ig'e 1) Dr. Tead spoke on "Creative Leadership." In his talk he offered two suggestions as remedies for the educational system of today; first, there should be an increase in the salary of the teaching world, so that this profession would attract the highest types of individuals; second, the teachers should "see the world and confront reality before they attempt instruction." On Saturday, February 21, the deans in attendance at the convention were guests of the Univer-sity of Michigan, at Ann Arbor. Following a luncheon at the Girls' League Building, the group visited the campus and dormitories of the University. Miss Holaway attended also the convention of the National Education Association. At the Monday evening meeting, Rear-Admiral Richard E. Byrd gave an interesting talk on the subject "Conquering the Antarctic by Air." Admiral Byrd was presented with ten volumes of letters written by the children of the United States. These letters represented a project of the National Education Association. Another outstanding feature of the convention was a concert by the National High School Chorus composed of boys and girls from every state. This chorus was led by Hollis Dann, of New York University.
