Charles Wakefield Cadman, America's
foremost composer-pianist, whose work
has been mainly the translation into the
white man's tones and rhythms of native
Indian themes, and Tsianina, a decidedly
good looking Indian princess, of Cherokee-Creek extraction, whose auto-biography Cadman made the basis of the
American opera "Shanewis," appeared
before the music lovers of Lock Haven
and the student body of C. S. N. S. in
a delightful program, on Friday evening,
November 9.
Most of the selections which made up
the program, both those pla.ved by Cadman and those sung in the rich, mellow
mezzo-soprano of Tsianina, were of Cadman's own composition; many of the
others •yvere from Cadinan's favorite
source, Indian music. r a d m a n added

many of the iininbers.

in the last four years for a Maroon and
Grey football team, resulted in a scoreless tie. Facing a team reputed to be

did not outscore its opponents.

The annual Hallowe'en dance is alwaj's one of the year's high spots. Back
come all of the recent graduates, to hold
reunion in these familiar scenes—and to
dance. Up from town come man.y of
those who owe to C. S. N. S. their education, to greet those who come back to
reune—also to dance. From the old
home towns come the particularly friendly friends of seniors and of juniors,
bearing with them the home town news
—and ready to dance. Here and there—

break into the g.vm and dance.

Playing on its own field, with ever.vthing that could be controlled very much
in its favor, St. .loseph's never threatened to score. At few moments in the
game did they have the ball out of their
own defensive territory. On the contrary, no sooner did the.v succeed in obtaining control of the ball than they

A caste of thirtj'-two is to produce in
chapel just before the Thanksgiving
holidays a typical school pageant, with
costumes, much music, and a complete
supjily of Thanksgiving spirit. Eeliearsals have been proceeding for over a
week; at the time this paper goes to
press; the caste has been fully selected,
and the rumor has begun to circulate
that the school is in for a holiday treat.
Faith Van Valkenburg Vilas is responsible for the pageant selected:
"The Three Thanksgivings," sub-titled
"A November Humoresque." It consists,
according to report, of three acts, a prologue, and an epilogue: and contrasts
the present day Thanksgiving with its
historical predecessors. I t is laid in
that most indefinite time, the Present
(which for pageant purposes is only less
indefinite than that other indefinite
time, the P a s t ) , in Ihe town of Anywhere, and the home of .\ii,v One Family.
Like all ]iageants, it contains much
music, much colorful costuming, and
constant interchanging of characters iind
shifting of stage pictures.
The girls have been working hard on
their costumes. Since the scenes shift
through the seasons, and through American epochs in time as well, there will be
a wide variet.v of costumes and a consequent succession of colorful scenes.
The play is being taken especially seriously by the seniors. It is the ambition of our so-talented folk here to
"make" the senior play, and this present
pageant is to provide a tryout for many
of those who take p a r t in it, helping
greatly to determine their desirability
for the caste of the senior play, to be
given early in the second term.
The caste as chosen:

Mr. Drum Explains State
Bureau's Work
Oct. 22, Mr. Drum gave the second of
the series of talks upon "The Penns.vlvania I)e])artnient of Public Instruction." Mr. Drum onunierated the various bureaus and their scope of work.
The administrative Inireuu talniintes the
finances of the schools, estimates the
needs, aiijiropriates the mone.v, and
handles the finances of the Normal
Schools. It also has charge of the
courses of stud.v. The attendance bureau gathers statistics of attendance, and
endeavors to keep children in school besides supervising the school census. The
Bureau of Health supervises the physical
training nutrition, athletics, health education, and medical inspection of stndents iu the schools. The Teachers' Bureau supervises the State Normal School
and the issuing of licenses for teachers.
The Bureau of School Buildings often
suggests changes in buildings which save
large amounts of mone.v and furnishes
building surveys.
There are also the bureaus of Vocations, Retirement Special Education, and
Rural Education. The Bureau of Rural
Education tries to form consolidated
schools in all rural communities because
the children in the rural district should
be given the opportunity as the children
in towns and cities.

First Grades Perform
Since it is the usual thing for the
training school pupils to entertain the
students in chapel, Friday morning, the
first, second and sixth grade had charge
of the program Nov. 2nd.
The student teachers who trained the
children were Helen BufBngton, Alice
Ryan, Ann Peters, Alva Schooley, .and
Anna Mae Landis. The program consisted of the "Dance of the Witches,"
by the sixth g r a d e ; dramatized song,
"The Roman and English Soldiers," given b.v the first and second grades; and
a very cleverly presented game, "I'm
Very Very Tall," by the flrst grade.

TIMES

Art Club Much Alive

L. A. L. of Day Room

The Art Club has not been makin.g
much noise this fall; that is the reason
it has been receiving less than its accustomed share of attention from Normal Times and its fluttering crew of reporters. The club has been very much
alive, nevertheless. It has needed all its
steam for the work it has had to turn
out, and has had none to spare to blow
its own whistle.

Gosh! (Jee, .you should be a lueniber
of the L. A. L. Clever? Well, I guess,
A sliecial ineeting was held in the gym
on Thursda.v, Nov, 1. Each new member took some special part on the program. Some of the various members
and parts taken were:
A'iolet Agnew proved a scream as a
dancer of the "Sheik" dance. A slieikiiig encore greeted her.
Helen Bettens used her nose to play
a solo, entitled "Farewell to Thee." It
was almost a farewell to all, before she
finished,
Helen Baird gave a recitation on "Why
I Bobbed My Hair." She received a
heart.v encore.
Alma Baird, Jo Eckenroth and Issy
Herr sang "The Broken Wedding Ring."
It was enough to make any thing or anybody laugh.
Mae Smith gave us children an idea
of a real grown up proposal to a real
man, who happened to be unreal at the
time,
Edna Re,vnolds and Helen Miller performed b.v giving us a lumber camp clog
dauce. This particular dauce should
onl.v be giving in a lumber camp, is the
candid opinion of ever.y one.
Mariette Best and Annabelle McLean
showed how an artistic sketch may be
funn.v ill the gj'iii and not in Miss Yale's
Art Class,

At the beginning of this fall term five
new niembers were elected: Leah Hile,
.loanna Sweene.v, Beatrice Van Zandt,
Helen Buflington, and Ethel Peterson.
Five members remained from last year's
club:
Helen Dittmar, Grayce and
Ccloua Coppersmith,
Catherine Dever.aux, and Marie Crain. Miss Whitwell was also requested to join as an
honorary member.
It ma.y be explained to this years
juniors—every one else knows it—that it
is the central idea, the purpose in life,
of the Art Club is to demonstrate that
a r t is not a gracefully useless acconiIilishment; that, on the contrary, it is of
high ]iractical value iu the everyday life
of everyday people; that it is a necessity
in daily living. So far this year the club
has been refinishing furniture. This is a
new line of work, one that might off
handedly seem to be more cabinet-uiakiiig than art. If an.vone gets that mistaken idea, let him go up to the art
room and take a look. If he will compare the handsomel.v decorated, livable
tables and chairs there with the seediest
be-8cratched pieces he can find about the
storerooms of the school, he will have
some idea of what practicall,y applied
art has done to just that sort of discarded furniture.
The club has also been designing,
painting, and selling Thanksgiving cards,
and is getting set for its Christmas
trade. Christmas cards and small gifts.
Last .year the stage settings for many of
the plays, the posters for such entertainments, sehool placards, and a dozen other practical applications were made of
the work.
Membership in the Art Club is almost
like attaining Phi Beta Kappa: no student is eligible for niembership unless
his grade is two jilus or better; and
even then his characteristics must meet
the approval of the members.

Chapel Day Sociology Class
On Tuesday morning, Oct. 2;), two
inembers of the educational sociologj'
class gave the students an idea of the
work being accomplished in that class.
The flrst speaker was Mjirgaret Lo.y,
whose topic was, "What Should Be Accomplished in the Schools." She brought
out the fact that the schools should give
the students a satisfactory knowledge of
grammar, history of the universe, biograph.y of the world, languages, power
of using bodies and hands nimbly, and
ability to co-operate.
The second speaker was Jean Peck who
told about the "Play Ground Movement
in America and Europe." The aims of
the playground teach the children the
real value of play, team work, honesty
and judgment. She explained that there
are not as many playgrounds in America
as there should be, but that the recreation movenient was progressing.

"Tickets, Please"

Presbyterian Church Entertains

The play production class under the
(lirection of Miss Alber iiroduccd a short
sketch, "Tickets, Please," at the chapel
exercises on Tuesday, October .10. This
was the flrst public production of the
class this year, and while it can only be
called rather good, yet it gave evidence
of the careful work of the class, and yet
more evidence that the class is fulfilling
its purpose—training students in the art
of presenting school plays.
The story dealt with the trials and
tribulations of a party of young girls, on
their way to see Ethel Barr.vmore, when
the tickets cannot be found. The part
of Mignon, the impatient young lad.y
awaiting her friends, was taken by lone
Garbrick. Margaret Beam, as Charlotte,
acted as the general peacemaker. Maude,
who comes late and without the tickets
with which she was charged, was played
b.y Frieda Staiman; and Linda, the last
arrival, was well done by Ida Rearick.

The Presbyterian Church entertained
about seventy-five of the C. S. N. S. students at a Hallow-e'en party, Tuesday
evening, Oct. .30.
The most novel form of entertainment
was the "Dungeon of Horrors"—reached
by crossing the "Bridge of Sighs." At
a great distance the ghostly sounds could
be heard, but, once started, there was
no turning back. Bluebeard in all his
glory was there with his seven wives.
Even the devil was there with his coaxing personality. But, despite all these
spectacular amusements everyone arrived safely at the social rooms, where
the best costumes were selected in a
grand inarch. After several ghost stories
were told, refreshments were served,
which consisted of apples, cider, pumpkin pie and doughnuts. In spite of the
rainy evening, which really kept the entertainment from being dry, everyone
reported a good time.

l.v disappointed. It was real football
that Coach Wolfe's squad showed, and
good sjiorting spirit under provocation
that would have brought out lacks in
any crowd less good sportsmen than the
wearers of the Maroon and Grey. Coach
Wolfe's work is bearing fruit; Normal
can boast of a good team, a real team,
this year.
One accident marred the game. Paul
Vonada was bumped rather hard; when
the squad returned to C. S. N. S., Paul
was left behind in the Renovo Hospital.
An examination that evening, however,
showed no serious results. Paul returned
to us on Sunda.v, his good-natured grin
concealing just as much pep aud scrap
as ever.
It would have been more satisfactory,
of course, to have pried the lid oflf with
a victory. To have come so close, to
have won a game so many ways over,
and to have to be content with a scoreless tie, is naturally disappointing to our
scrapp.v warriors. But it is no secret
that practicall.v everyone except the
team themselves hoped for victor.y, but
expected defeat. In outplaying the St.
Joe team. Captain Ward's gang tied the
opposing team, but beat the psychological jinx that went up from here with
them. It seemed more than reasonable,
much more than reasonable, to expect
that from the small nuinber of good fellows ill the east dorm, most of them
green to the game, could be molded an.ytliing but a losing team. The school is
doubly pleased with their showing,
therefore. The prophecy made in these
columns—that better teams may win
games for C, S, N. S. in years to come,
but that a gamer team will never wear
her colors—is borne out b.v the events.
Hats oflf, Normal, to a fighting crowd of
real sportsmen. A long cheer for the
team.
High School 3rd, Downed
Much of the success of Coach Wolfe's
plans this year have been due to the cooperation between our own small squad

to crumble when touched. Still other
collections are victims of museum pests.
But one living thing in C. S. N. S. escapes the dail.y spinach ration and he
is preserved under a screen in the Nature Stud.v room. As a substitute for
spinach rations, he devours a small frog
each day. When last observed, Mr. Big
Bull Frog was trying to swallow the legs
of a smaller comrade, having already
succeeded in eating the rest of the unfortunate victim's body.
After seeing a vast amount of live
stuff, we turn our attention to pictures
of nature on the screen. The advantage
of this is two fold. It impresses the
work more firmly upon the minds of the
stndents, and gives some a chance for a
necessary nap.
Bulb planting is the latest wrinkle in
Nature Study. Wednesday, 31, a class
went over to Mr. Ulmer's garden to
plant hyacinths. Here ever.yone pitched
in to "Work for the spring is coming
when our flowers will bloom."—maybe,
if they are planted right and the bulbs
are O. K.

What's the Trouble?
School spirit is lacking this year
around our Normal. First, of all we
need a cheer leader, someone who has
lots of pep and can keep things moving.
There are many occasions when a school
song or cheer would be appropriate.
The Juniors have not heard the songs
and cheers the Seniors know, but they
might surprise us by making uji some
new songs and cheers,
A little junior tells us that school
sjiirit is one of the things that makes
a school poiiular. Well, we have i t ; all
we need is to get started. Why doesn'l

WITH A TIE SCORE
ICoiitililied frnlil jiuge '2t

and the huskies who work for Coach
Hoag, of Lock Haven High School. The
high scliool team has the best team in its
history this ,vear, a team almost certain
to be chosen to represent the western
half of this state in the annual intersectional contest for the state chamiiionship. It has had an excellent record all
season, both in the running up of onesided scores and in playing the game in
accordance with its spirit as well as its
rules. Its success is no more than its
due, and, as is usually the case when a
successful team is also a fair and square
team, it has had the good wishes of this
whole community with it. This Normal
School has shared in the rendering of
good wishes for the .success of the high
scliool stalwarts. Both this first team
and the two other reserve teams have
worked with the Normal squad, giving it
the much needed scrimmage practice
whicli has brought out the smooth running of the pla.vs and the hard, sure
tackling evidenced in the Renovo game.
By way of preparation for that game, on
the Frida.v one week before it the local
team lined up against the high school
third team. Earlier in the season this
same team had put it over the green
squad by a single touchdown, in a game
iu which coaching of both teams was
permitted, and the selection of plays was
largely a matter of coaching rather than
team judgment.
This Frida.v game was the flrst ]ilayed
with full quarters and without outside
assistance. Normal's rapid improvement
manifested itself from the start. With
its first evidence of real football skill,
its first upreariug above the sandlot sort
of game, the Normal squad ran away
with the pluck.v lads from the high
school, ('lean haiidliiig of the ball, a
fair assortment of pla.vs, hard tackling,
and particularl.v good line pla.v, surjirised Norniars best wishers.

TIMES
Neither the St. .Toe's nor the high
.school lineup are available as this paper
goes to press; and the pressure of time
makes it necessar.v that the.v be omitted.
Manager Blackford has done a rather
good job with the football scliediile. He
was given such a late start iu his task
of schedule making that must of the
teams with which he desired to book
games alread.y had filled their programs.
In some cases, as with Dickinson Semiiiar.v, who wished a game with us for
November 10, other schools had open
dates, but they fell at the same time as
those on whieh we had already scheduled
games. Also, until rather late in the
season, this being the first season in recent years in which the Normal School
has attempted to put out a football team,
it was decidedly uncertain whether the
strength of the team was sufficient to
take on an.v formidable opponents. In
spite of all obstacles. Manager Blackford has succeeded in filling week-end
dates for the month of November. On
November 10, St. .loseph's High School,
of Renovo, will be met at Renovo. The
following Saturda.v Cooper Township
High School will be pla.ved at Winburne,
and on November 24 the fast .Tcrse.v
Shore High School squad will be met at
.lerse.v Shore.
The least satisfactor.v feature of the
schedule is that all these games must
be ])Iayed on foreign fields. This greatly
lessens the school's opportunity to carry
off victor.v. Nn better arrangeinents
could be made, however; and we are
very glad indeed that Coach Wolfe aud
his squad are breaking open the game of
football for us ngnin. Normal used to
be represented b.y fast teams. This
.vear's team is putting the Maroon .and
Grey back on the gridiron. This year's

Our Nature Corner
This being the hunting season, our attention turns naturally to those animals
that man is trying to destroy. Most of
these are perfectly harmless, and would
make delightful pets if man w^ould only
meet them half way.
Let us focus our attention on the
squirrel. Mrs. Comstock gives, in her
"Handbook of Nature Study," a delightful description of these beautiful little
animals. They are also well described
in "American Animals," by Stone and
Crum ; while Burgess tells, in his "Animal Book for Children," of the familiar
characters of Happy Jack, Chatterer, and
Striped Chipmunk, in a most delightful
way. Y'ou do not have to go to books,
however. Instead, see how many of the
following observations you can make
for yourselves:
1. Where have you seen a squirrel?
Does it walk, trot, or leap?
2. In climbing a tree does it hide behind the trunk, go straight up, or go
around in spirals?
S. Does a squirrel always follow the
same path in going to and from his hiding place?
4. Describe a squirrel's t.ail? How
long is it compared to his body? Of
what use is it to the squirrel in summer?
In winter?
5. What does a squirrel eat in the
autumn? In spring? In .summer?
6. How much squirrel language can
J-ou understand?
7. How are the teeth of a squirrel arranged?
S, How many kinds of squirrels do
you know?
Don't forget to write to the Nature
Study Department, C. S. N. S„ Lock
Haven, Penna., about what you do and
see. Maybe your letter will be published
here next month. If there are any questions you want to ask about anything,

IN PLEASING PROGRAM

the appreciation of his audience, the
statement is hesitatingly made.
Mr. Cadman exhibited a genuine Indian flagolct at tho opening of the second part of his program, and on it gave
four or five short Indian melodies, one
of which he at once translated into its
nearest equivalent on the piano. It was
noticeable that, while the theme was
recognizably the same, much of the
woodsy, aboriginal flavor of the flagolet
had been lost in transition; also that in
its place there were added atmospheric
effects that made it more acceptable to
the more sophisticated white ear.

TIMES
Normal's Music Course
The music department of this school
is now operating an unusual series of
piano training lessons to the students of
this school and to the people of this locality. The work under Mr. All has
caught on finely; a nuinber of piano students have been taking the work, and
have been spreading the news of its
worth to them.
The general plan of this course has
been following the Progressive Series
of Piano Lessons, edited and compiled
by universally accepted leaders i n instrumental music, under the general
guidance of Leopold Godowsky. Such
musicians as Sauer, Hoffman, and .lohnstone are his assistants on the editorial
staff. The work is sent, week by week,
from one general headquarters, b u t not
to the student of music. The work
should in no way be confused with a
correspondence course; it has no essential points in common with that rather
futile way of learning. Instead, the
weekly lessons come to the instructors
in music. The student follows them under the direction of his instructor. The
superiority of such a course over that
offered by an instructor of his own invention is rather evident.
It is easily possible for normal school
students to turn their spare time into
musical education. For those whose
musical ambition may take them, some
day, into advanced musical instruction,
it is of interest to know that the credits
given here will be received at any recognized college or conservatory.

This second nuniber of this year's
wonderful program was a distinct change
from the first. I t is impossible to compare numbers so different in character
as those given by Miss Tiffany and Mr.
Cadman; hence it is not possible to state
which of the two ranked higher musically. Certainly we are glad to have had

The annual Clinton County Institute

music; and Professor Ulmer, Professor
Trembath, and Miss .Jessie Scott Himes,
of the Normal School faculty.
The Wednesday afternoon session of
the institute is to be held in the auditorium of the school, an innovation in
county institutes here. So many of the
Clinton County girls have attended this
school that it will be something like a
homecoming for most of tliem. The other sessions of the week will be held, as

This Central Pennsylvania TJound
Table conference is a xnirely voluntary
organization, which iu the many years
of its existence has met in all parts of
this general territory, although most of
its meetings, due to its accessibility and
man}' conveniences, have been held here
at the Normal School. The topics for
discussion are those suggested by the
members tlieniselves; the discussion is
carried on as they wish; the exchange of
ideas has jiroved to bo mutually helpful, so much so that it is rare to "import" a sjieaker, the conference desiring
to confine itself to its own immediate
problems. Incidental to the profit the
members ma.v obtain for themselves,
benefits have accrued to many a graduate of this school, the schoolmen in attendance fre<|ueiitly seizing the opport u n i t y for going over Central State's

According to a junior theme, the Hallowe'en dance was a costume affair, at
which most of the girls wore costumes
and some of the boys did. Well, we
ought to be glad for that much, we suppose.

Ethel Hartsock spent the week-end of

that .vou wanted to see most, Ethel?
Ted Brehman and Carl Schrot went up
to Clearfield with Mr. Ulmer to try their

was not.

Lulu Barr. Is it any wonder that some
of the letters written that Sunday sounded kinda lonesome?
But it might have been worse: Neta
White spent the weak-end in the dorm.
No one has the homesick blues while
she is around; things are kept rolling.
Beats all, doesn't it, how Faye Lord

of fhe happenings at home? This week
it was Mrs. Fenton and Euth Johnson.

TIMES
Swish! Mmmmmm!

A shuildering sort of muinmur ran
down second floor hall, Monday niorning.
A whistler, a sigh, like the coming of a
storm and then the full blast struck.
Word had come that an inspector w^ould
look over the rooms that morning.
There was a great demand for brooms,
dust pans and an.y other sort of instrument that would aid in reconstruction.
Some thanked their stars that they had
room mates to help them, while others
cursed at their luck of not having some
one to help keep the place clean. But
it did no good for conditions were conditions. Hurry was the word of the moment.
Room mates fell all over themselves
and each other in the mad scramble.
Such confusion! Down eame pennants
and excess pictures, while clothing of all
kinds was hurriedly put away. While
one swejit the other did a great amount
of re-arranging of books, papers, pencils,
chairs and desks. One thinks it impossible to do more than one thing a t once,
but here was accomplished the impossible.
Out of the noisy confusion, things began to look more presentable. All set
for inspection!
