There was so much riiiiiiiuj; from one room to the other that shoes were in danger of being worn out. The gym was decorated with the Senior colors, maroon and buff. Penants representing various schools were tacked upon the walls. The lights were covere.l with colored papers, making the whole room a soft ruddy color. This ailded so much to the "thrills" so much talked ot. The students and their guests were greeted by a receiving line of the following people: Mr. Drum, Miss Yale. Mr. High, Miss Larkin, Mr. Glossner, and Miss VanZandt. The Lyric Orchestra furnished the music to which the happy couples danced. Punch was served, aud gas balloons were sold throughout the evening. There's no need to say that every one enjoyed herself or himself. Of course every one was discussed from "a" to "z" for a week to come. Psychology When a girl gets a man for the dauce who she doesn't know, there are srveral ways of determining whether he en.iuye..! himself iind (you) her or not. The lirst thing to look for is .a line. If he hand;her a line, he thinks she's a good sport; if not, he thinks it's a prettj- good dance, but is glad there are other people on his program. One good lino that is almost overworked is to tell the girl that he doesn't have half enough dances with her. (Of course it all ili'|ieii.ls upon who the girl is whether sho believes it or uot. P . S.—She has a better time herself if she can swallow a line.) .-inother good way of telling is to see if he will flirt with her while he is dancing with some one else. If he does, the girl should iininediatel,y become absorbed in the man sho is dancing with. Then if he insists on cutting a dance with some one toward the end of the evening, she knows he likes her dancing and it is safe to go upstairs with liim when he goes after the coats. A wise man alwa.vs takes in the lay of the land before starting a campaign. (Continued un pliKe 7) NORMAL OurNature Corner Hunkers Corners, Pa. Monday, 1924. Mr. Ulmer: Lock Haven, I'a.

March Book Review An Event in Washington's Life Mi.'js Alber's Knglish 231 class in Play Production gave a pla.v in Chapel, Tuesday morning, February 26. The members of this class are preiiaring to teach in seventh, eighth and ninth grades, so all the pla.vs that are produced by them are of the type that can be used in those grades. An event in the life of Washington was portrayed by the following members of the class: Elverda Richardson, who took the part of Red Rowan, an Indian girl; Albert Hauke, George Washington; Carl Smoke, Glenn Paul Vonada, Talbot; and Byron Blackford, who was Richard Glenn. The scene was in the mountain where Wiishington and his party of surveyors are camping. Wiishington is alone, stud.ving his wood's map, when Red Rowan suddenly surprises him. She sits beside liim and offers to read his palm. He consents, but tells her ho will not believe any foolishness. Red Rowan foretells a great future for him; that before long he will be fighting for a great cause, will have many hard times, but in the end will triumph. The curtain closed on Washington, again alone, pondering over the strange things he has just been told. "Around the Hub" "Around the H u b " was the subject of a very interesting talk given in chiipel, Wednesday morning, February 27, by Mr. T'liner. He described his visit to man.v places of historical interest which he had the pleasure of seeing while attending sunimer school at Harvard. The old South Church, Faneuil Hall, and the old North Church were three places of great interest in Boston. On Ins trip to Concord, he viewed Lexington Common, the Minute Man, and the old Hancock House. At Concord, he visited Hawthorne's home, the Sehool of Philosoph,v, and that famous structure, the North Bridge. All of these trijis were excursions in which the students of Harvard were privileged to make. Mr. Ulmer actually played truant an'd niiide a very interi'sting excursion by himself. There was a meeting of the Emerson Centennial in Concord which he wished to attend. At this meeting he hill! the rare treat of hearing Julia Ward Howe, then a woman of eighty, recite the "Battle Hj'mn of the Republic," with all the spirit aud zest of a .young girl. That afternoon he visited Walden Pond, and after some difliculty fouiici the site of Thoreau's hut which was marked only by a simple pile of stones, built up by visitors.

TIMES Faults of Graduates PERSONALS Mr. Drum and Mr. McDougall have returned from the convention of the National Educational Association held at Chicago during the last week in February. Miss Erna Grassmuck, from the state departnient, so recently a visitor here, was one of tliose whom they met out there. Dorothy Savage and Ann Peters wish it mentioned that they also were at State on Februiir.y 23. Ivan Mechtly, '23, and Lee Smeltzer, ex-'24, were back on the twenty-third, Ivan visiting Carl Hayes, and Lee bunking in with Jack Follmer. Few of us are able to boast that our friends come over two hundred miles to see us. That is just what Helen Rock did; came all the way from Ellwood City to see Alice Weisen. Helen Gregory, Alva Schooley, Isabelle Watson, and Peg Bracken say that this issue of the Times won't be worth reading if their trip to State College is omitted. i l r . Ih'iiin continued his report on the I'iiults of graduates as stated by their siiperinteudeiits, in chapel, Monday niorning, February 18. The lirst criticism was inability to liiinille unusual cases of discipline. Since all children do not have the same interests or background, the duty of the teacher is to study the child and (ind what appeals to him. If she can keeji the cliild interested, she will have little trouble with discipline. She must also tiike her stand, and have the backlioiie to stick to it; she must make the children understand that she is the person in charge. The teacher should uot lie forced to handle cases where the child is greatly retarded or mentally incapiible of the work. "For these," Mr. Drum said, "there should be au opporliiiiity or ungraded class. In either of these the individuals are given just the work they can do and are interested in. .-Vt least one-half of the work is manual work, iiii.l prepiires the child for the eiily kind of work he is capable of doing." The second fault which Mr. Drum menSara Kift, Anna Heiges, and Grace tioned was the great faniiliarit.y of stuStartzel all spent Sunday, February 23, dent and teacher.

I NORMAL NORMAL TIMES Don't Forget Your Pledges Selfishness is the cause of most of onr international, domestic, and personal troubles. Selfishness and greed play largo p a r t s in causing all wars and all serious internal problems. We Americans are accused of selfishness, in that we are accepting the best things of life as though they were our due, and then expecting more. This apjiiirent selfisliness is only indifference. We do take too much for granted; we do fail to express onr gratitude; but that is only because nothing stirs us into thinking of how much is ours, conijiiired to what others receive, and of the thanks we ought, therefore, to be rendering in some tangible form. We did contribute to the Armenian Fund largely; ue were stirred. This Wiis in 1922; since then we have forgotten about the fund and the people. The Student Friendship Fund comes ;is a new cause. Miss Quale, its representative, sncceeded in awakening us to our responsibility. Her talks were well attended, and stirted the entire school as it has not been stirred in a long time. Now that the campaign is on here, don't forget: You are an American student, living in a land of plenty; be glad of this opportunity to show that you appreciate what is yours.

He stated that under such ii mail's Influence, our nation prospered.

"Not until we have visited the shrines or memorials of the great men of our nation, can we be one-hundred per cent American," said Reverend Parkhill. Rules for English Teachers I In addition to the rules officially liiid down for the teaching of English Composition, it might be well to add the following for the sake of the pupils concerned : 1. Do, not make the children sit up straight. It will tire them. 2. Allow the pupils to lean against something when standing up to recite. It looks nicer. 3. The introduction to the lesson should be lengthy; then there won't be so much time left for work. 4. Permit the children to choose what and how much they want to do— then you may be sure it will be done. 5. Do not let the pupils use too much originality; they might surpass the teacher.

During this school year Miss Yale has received some especiall.v fine art work from her students. As a result there lias been an a r t exhibit in the training school. The display was unique, for it did not consist of great paintings, but of work that can be done in the ordinary school room. There were fine examples of paper-cutting of figures and landscapes. Simple forms done in clay, such as any child could be taught to make, were also on display. The ink brush work gave some fine ideas for beginning this style of a r t in the classroom. Crayon drawings of .simple forms and delightful color combinations were also exhibited. Another interesting feaUire was that of paper-folding and cutting. The .iunior girls used this in their house-furnishing ]iro,iects. Each girl built a room of cyrdlioard, papered it, and furnished it. These not only taught skill in folding and handling materials but also taste in interior decoration. This part of the exhibit consisted of 14 bedrooms (Miss Yale is thinking of starting a hotel), three breakfast rooms, several nurseries, a library, a kitchen, and a porch. The most impressive and important of all were copies of penmanship done by the day room girls whicli were posted on the wall with corrections written in red crayon. The corrections, such as— "to loose, use finger movement," "feet up, hands folded, wrists curled," "two dark, use the lights," " b e careful of your slant, roll more," were made by those student who are considered authorities on penmanship. The girls work hard to get the room in order for the penmanship classes. It is an incentive for better work.

The Juniors are very backward about coming forward; far worse than the mule when it comes to picture taking. The entire class wished to stand on the last step. As tliis was almost impossible, sore toes resulted. The camera-man called, "Down iu front!" No one budged. The plea or command whichever you choose to call it, seemed to have no effect wliatever.
