1923 Graduates at Gayest
Commencement
y
1923, Hail and Farewell!
Rollicking Alumni Day!
Chuckling
Class Day!
Solemn Commencement
Day, when the tears are too near the
surface for smiles to be entirely certain ! Dad, mother, and all the folks
back to see their boy, their girl, in the
scenes of wdiich they have talked so
much.
Teachers standing about the
halls, trying to pass over wdth a hastily
formed, half hearted jest, the very real
heartache t h a t they feel in themselves
and sense in the senior who has paused
for .a last contact. Mother, father, coming up to miiet some one on the faculty,
half with a desire to see in the flesh one
who has existed only as a naiiie, half in
the hope of hearing something more to
add to the i'.ride in their own graduate,
a. pride that; they cannot entirely conceal, thougli it lies too deep for expression. Seniors a r m in arm, hanging about together, as if trying to postpone the parting.
Sudden unbidden
tears, hastil.v concealed by an averted
head—or by iflight. There is nothing like
Comineucem^'^t Season, in this or any
other great American school.
It was a gre.""',t class, this class of 1923,
a class that canie ver.y close to the hearts
of those who knew them and worked
with them- Classes do have personality,
individi;'.,lity; aud this class was ono in
vvl'-t'se accomiilishments it was easy to
-'take warm pride, one that measured up
to all t h a t a school could ask, scholastically, athletically, humanly—especially
humanly.
And it was fitting that such a class
should have almost perfect Commencement weather. None of the gusty showers or continuous downpours tliat have
marred so many Commencements here!
Instead, steady sunshine, warmth, days
perhaps a trifle too hot, but cool June
nights, with a hardworking moon. From
the night of the Junior Play until the
Commeucement Day exercises were over,
there was not a discordant note, not a
flaw in a well planned and gloriously
executed program of the week.
With the departure of the big delegation that went off on the Fliers on
Tuesda.v afternoon, an unaocustonied
quiet settled down over the big building, a quiet that was rather hard to bear.
It was almost as though Aliiia. Mater,
having kept up her smile until she waved
away the last of her children, had turned
back to her empty home and her heartache. Other chihlren she has, yes; but
fhe eldest have started off to make their
fortunes; their places are empty; they
will not be filled. Their footsteps have
worn griioves in her stair-treads; their
rollicking hands have left marks in tiieir
old rooms, in her halls. A slinky chairarm, a scuff on some varnish that should

Commencement

Class Day Exercises

Alumni Day Doings

On Tuesda.v niorning a t 10:00 came
the parting of the ways. All the rest
of Commencement Week is pure fun,
but there is no trace of rollicking spirits
anywhere in the poignancy of Comnienccment Da.y. The parting is too
iinmiiient; for the first time it becomes
a tangible thing.

Class da.y exercises were better this
.year, from the standpoint of both spectutors and graduates, than they have
ever been, in recent luemory, at least.
Informality, fun, ease of manner and
cleverness in speech, marked the afternoon program out under the frees of
the west campus.

I t was a solemn audience that filled
the auditorium.
The Commencemeiit
hush was so real that i t could almost
be touched. It did not disappear as
the exercises went on, but grew and
grew. Sylvia Breth did beautifully with
her oration pleading for more kindergartens in Pennsylvania.
Gwendolyn
Glise upheld the reputation she has
made for herself by her effective delivery of an exposition of the purel.y
practical values of art education as it is
now given in the schools. Frederick
Hunter's talk on the worth of the pla,y
siiirit ill school work was interesting
even to the somewhat jaded ears of the
faculty.
Gertrude Harper traced the
growth of the Junior High Sehool movement from its inception to the complaint
of Dr. Eliot, of Harvard, back in 1888,
to its rapid burgeoning in Pennsylvania
af this time, and closed with a strong
appeal that the type of school be further encouraged, because of its unique
suifabilit.y to the educational requireiiients of adolescent bo^-s and girls. The
orchestra played from time to time.
Ernest ,Schrot 'in a speech as short as
it was sincere gave to the school 192.'i's
class meinorial, a standard motion picture niachinc: "And may you have as
much ,id.y in using it as we have had in
giving it to yon," It was almost over.
For the school Mr. Drum accepted
the gift, and then presented tho class
for its diplomas to Williain Keiiier, vice
president of the Board of Trustees, acting in behalf of the Hon. M. B . Rich,
who is ill. Dr, J, A. Foberg, director
of mathemafics in the state department,
delivered the commencement oration,
advising the graduates of the practical
principles iind ethical ideals that they
ought to follow.

The planting of the ivy, with President Frederick Hunter, of the class of
I92.'i, as the speaker, started off the afternoon. An informal band then lead
the graduates, in cap and gown, in a
picturesque parade across fhe campus
to the place of the class day exercises.
Principal W. N. Drum aud Mr. Gage
leading the class. The ivy oration was
given by Mercella Burf; tlie class oration, b.y Fred H u n t e r ; the history, by
Gertrnde Hiirper, the wdll, hy Grace Russell; the prophecy, b.v Gwcndolj-n Glise;
and file presentations, b.v Kay Cawley
and Jean Hahn. The senior mantle was
passed down to the Juniors by President
Hunter, and was received for them by
Helen Dittmar, president of the junior
class.

At 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon t h e
big doings coinmenced to occur fast a n d
furious. The seniors tore open the .afternoon wdth a costume parade that h a d
class. Ted Schreiber led the van, in
Colonial uniform, followed by tho Spirit
of '76, carried off by Steve Bydesky,
Ernie Schrot and Guy Luck, with verisimilitude, eclat, and all that sort of thing.
In the line were also Bill Skelton's Zobo
band and Happy Sissler's Ukelele (Juartet, all setting the time for a weird
crowd of marchers, costumed in fhe outfits of all seasons and none, t h a t
stretched along the west campus from
the main entrance to the tennis courts
and half way back again. Following the
seniors came the alumni, who stuck faitlifuU.v despite the senior quickstep until
the line turned into the dormitories for
a jamboree, and who rejoined them when
they came out and paraded over to the
athletic field.

The orchestra struck up, A song, it
matters not what. Then the slow processional, up the aisle, out through the
swinging doors, out the ni.ain hall—^the
last time—an attempt to hold together—then a dash for one's room, to
win back the control which tradition says
must be ours wdien we say the hardest
of words.
After a while, back again. Some of
the good-byes are said; many more are
just handgrips, more eloquent than the
words that stick in tho throat. Then
the trolley; the t r a i n ; the hills of Loek
Hiiven fading, blurred; home.
(Continued on pag:e 2)

The spirit and finish of the day's program caused Mr. Drum to sa.v that he
had never .^een at C. S. N. S, a class day
performance that approached this iu
qualify, and thiit he recollected none as
good iin.vwhere else.

Giving Kindergarten Publicity
There is ju.sf one kindergarten iu Lock
Haven, and flint is t h e only one in a
radius of thirfj- miles. At the last
nieeting of the International Kindergarten Union, wdiich Miss Hinies attended as the represent.itive of this
school, the tremendous strides that the
kindergarten movement has recently
made fired all delegates wdth enthusiasm,
and caused a desire to spread the idea
from now on wdth almost a missionary
spirit.
Miss Hinies and Mr. McDougall arc
undertaking fo spread local interest in
kindergarten work, so as to innltiply
the number of children who are receiving the undoubted tremendous benefits
of well managed kindergartens. Through
pulilicity work, convcrsiitions, posters,
nnd personal letters they aud their committee, niiide up of group I students,
they hope to promote kindergarten activity in as m.'iny schools as can be
reached.
The sunimer session kindergarten, to
be operated in connection with this summer session, is benefitting particularly
by this publicity campaign; it will in
its turn be an active agent in creating
interest in new communities in kindergartens and kindergarten ways.

Dr. David W. Thomas, '00, iiumediatel.y
turned loose a prograiu of stunts into
which, despite the heat of the afternoon, alumni of all cliisses entered like
the good sports for which C. S. N. S.
has been noted. Newspaper races were
won by Mrs. Hazel Shannon Thompson,
'0.'!, Dr. W. P. Comely, '01, and R. Bruce
Stover, '17. Cracker-eating contests were
carried off b.v Principal W. N. Drum and
Homer Grattius, '98. The treat of the
afternoon, however, was the indoor baseball game, wdiich the senior boys had
their hands full in wdniiiug from an
nlumni team of wdiich fifty per cent used
to live in the east dormitory, the final
tally being 7-0,
Prof. All, of the Music department,
called the sharps and flats. Some of his
decisions were rather sour, but t h a t
was due, naturall.v, to the failure of
the managers to iirovide him with a
certified pitclipipc. Prof. Ulmer furnished the fielding feature of the afternoon; disguised as a senior, he handled
every ball that came into right field perfectly. None came there. Ted Schreiber's earnest efforts at third base were
so energetic that he was moved to second,
where he had fewer chances to jilay
hopscotch with the ball, and where first
base was in firing distance. Con Cornely's pitching, for the alumni, had
much of the snap t h a t used to characterize i t back in '01, when Normal used to
have some real ball teams. Had he been
provided wdth something smaller th.an
the sperical beanbag wdth which indoor
baseball is played, his fielders might
have had less to do—^for which t h e y
would have been grateful. Smiles Balfour's home run was tho longest hit
of the game! it traveled all around the
field, info the coal pile back of the

heating plant, and up on the railroad
track back of third, before it caught up
to him—and then he was sitting down.
Mrs. "Bill" Shannon Thompson's speed
on the base paths brought cheers from
the scorekeeper and others. Mrs. Lib
Eaub's work in right field was notabl.y
peaceful, wdiile over in left Mrs. Lue.y
Miller cavorted like another T.y Cobb;
she eould field and she could throw.
The game lasted two innings onl.y, but
those two innings contained as much
action and perspiration as any big
league full strength contest. If you don't
believe it, ask them who acted aud perswcated.

CLASS OF 1908 PROGRAM
At 4:00 a pleasing program was rendered by the class of '08 on the west
campus. I t included a reading by Mrs.
A. F. Stock, vocal solos b.v Mrs. H. B.
Otway and Mrs. G. T). Mervine, and a
piano solo by Miss Estella R. Wagner.
Dr. Thomas, '06, presided, and gave .an
excellent talk, as did also Dr. M. E. McAllister, '83, of Ridgway. Mrs. P . E.
Kamp, '20, and Miss Mabel E. Kneclit,
'08, acted as accompunists for the soloists and fur the communit.y singing,
wdiich was led b.v Miss Mar.v M. Shaw,
of the facult.v.
THE ALUMNI BANQUET
The largest alumni attendance in
many years enjoyed the alumni banquet
on Saturday evening. Nearly two hundred newly made or more accustomed
alumni sat around the tables in the dining room, decorated for the occasion
with green branches and pink carnations, their colors standing out against
the white trelliswork that carried them.
Three unusual talks featured the toast
list. Principal W. N. Drum defended
vigorously the management of this school
against the charge of extravagance implied in the King report on normal
schools. He said that it was well understood among the members of the commission headed by King that a comparison of figures at this time could not
be an.vthing but unfair, because all the
normal schools had passed under state
control so recently that those wdiich had
been very badly run down a t the time
the .state took control are still laboring under the neces.sity of spending
much mone.v in putting the pli.vsical
plant of the schools into decent shape.
Those schools wdiich had been prosperous
before state control showed to better
advantage than those which had been
unable, under former fln.ancial conditions, to keep up with repairs.
Certain items in wdiich Lock Haven
led the rest of the state Mr. Drum offered no apologj' for. He said that so
long as it could bo done, he proposed
to keep on offering to the students that
attend this school the best paid faculty,

the best living facilities, and the best
dining room nieiiu in the stiite. He criticized the King report principiill.y in
that it did not attempt to discover wliiit
each iKirmtil scliool got for the mone.v
if spent; hence if fell short wdien if atfenipted to indicate or imply injudicious
expenditures, in that it had not really
studied the expenditures at all.
Dr. Charles Davis, '83, superintendent
of schools in Steelton, opened the eyes
of nian.v of the alumni to the big differences iu purpose, methods, and aims
of instruction in the normal schools of
toda.y and formerly. The normal schools
of Peniis.vlvania have become reasonably
efficient professional schools for the first
time in this state, he said; and the practical proof of their efficiene,y is tluit
school superintendents of schools now
go fo the normal schools frying to secure their graduates, whereas not long
back fhe norinal graduate was barred
from many school systems by Board of
Education rules until she could prove
b.y several years of teaeliing that she
was of some use as a teacher.
Dr. Davis then launched into an explanation of the offer of reappointment
made by Governor Pinchot to Dr. Fiuegaii, declared its terms humiliating and
incomprehensible, and urged the passage
of a resolution requesting that Dr. Finegan be reappointed inimediatel.v.
Dr. Davis' resolution was vigorously
discussed, and passed the alumni association with but two dissenting votes.
It was forwarded to fhe Governor immediately. (Subsequent events indicate that
the Governor is independent in his
thinking—so far as the men and women
vifall.y interested in the schoiils are concerned.)
The third feature of the program of
toasts was the reading of a clever poem,
written for the occasion by Williiim J.
Weaver, '80, of Mill Hall, and full ot
local allusions.
Other speakers were Mrs. E. E. Adams,
'83; Fred Balfour, '03; John S. Walkey,
'08; Mrs. Edward Livingston, '13; and
Miss Eniil3' Brown, of the graduating
class.
THE ALUMNI DANCE
Immediately following the banquet,
the alumni dance began in the gymnasium, wdiich had been beaufifull.y decorated ill green and white. About 12i)
cduples made good use of the program
(if seventeen dances, while many more
gathered around the edge of the floor
to reminisce and to enjoy Dr. Tliomiis'
concoction of punch. The L.yric Orchestra furnished the music here as well as
at the banquet.
ELECTION OF OFFICERS
All former officers of the iiluiuni association were re-elected by acclamation.
Dr. Thomas wdll servo another terra as
president; J. S. Cranmer, '82, of Williamsport, vice president; Miss Helen
Harper, '02, of Bellefonte, second vice
president; Miss Edna D. Rich, '06, of Lock

Mechanicsburg, treasurer. The Executive
Committee will .agiiin consist of Hon.

Commencement

1923, Hail and Farewell!

(Continued from pagre 1)
Gradually the ache fades, 1923. Time
is kind. But so was Alma Muter, 1923.
Your feet and hands these years have
worn theinselves into her structure and
into her heart. She cannot now leave
y o u ; ever, wherever and however you
stand or fall from now on, she stands
there or falls with you. Nor can you
leave her. Every old school is hallowed
with memories of the boys and girls who
roughened its stnirfreads and scarred all
its newnesses. You can never grow up
awa.v from old C. S. N. S. Some day,
when yon arc tired of all the dignity
that ma.v be thrust upon you, slip away;
slip back to the old normal; feel yourself, nlmost as you enter her doors, shedding the years that will elapse, and becoming again just what you were when
you played and worked and were
obedient or disobedient as the spirt
moved .vou, or you moved your spirit,
back in the days wdien we first learned
to love you more than a little. Goodbye, 1923; good luck; may every school
bell make you think again of Alma
Mater!

(Continued from pagre f)
have been new, a tree they planted, a
gift they gave, a little ivy struggling up
il wall, to show that they had been here.
It is these that give the touch of saintliness that clings to old schools; i t is
such tokens thiif are fhe proud gray
hairs and workworn fingers, hairs turned
gra.y and fingers worn iu loving service,
of Alma Mater.
She would not have you back again,
1923. She is as proud of you and as certain of .your success as you can ever be.
She wants you to staid out, to struggle,
to win if you can, and to fiiil if you
must, if you but fail trying. She wants
.you fo go, for your sake. If she grieves,
it is just because these old days have
been sweet to think upon. Go out smiling, 1923. Goodbye; conu back soon.

A Word for Your Private Ear
Normal Times has labored through its
first year. It has been .a good paper;
you know it has. I t has covered everything, important and unimportant, and
played it up iu good, breezy fashion, so
that every friend of this school has been
able to get something more than just
all the news—they have been able to get
the inside spirit, the "feel" of the
school.
Y'ou seniors who have just gotten
away from us, you know that this has
been no easy matter. You know how
much hard labor has gone in to doing
this. You know what our ambitions
have been—and will be. You know how
much we hope Normal Times will mean
to the school. You know now, just
as you knew on C o m m e n c e m e n t
Day, how much the school means to
you. Don't let Normal Times fall down
for lack of your support. Don't let
the school fall away from you. Borri'W,
if you have to, the last sum you may
ever have to borrow, from the folks, and
send your subscription in to me now.
Don't postpone doing i t ; if you put it
oflf until next pay day, sad experience
says that the chances are ten to one you
will never send it in. If you can't get
the money, drop me a card anyhow, telling me to send the paper and where to
send it. I've trusted you before; guess
I can do it again.
You alumni, whom I may not know so
well, and with wdiom I cannot be so famiUar: Glance a t the alumni column of
this paper.
Then glance over the
news—listen: wdiat do you come back
to reunions for?
Isn't it to hear
about the folks in your own class
first of all'.' And, next, to get the latest
news about old Central State and how
she is weathering along? Normal Times
wdll bring just that right to your door
ever.y other week all through the year.
Obey that impulse!
Normal Times will iippear lo times
next .year, starting the first week in
October. Send me $1,50, and you can
hold all fifteen of those reunions wdthout leaving home. It wdll also appear
four times during the sumnier session.
Add 25 cents to the other rate, and we
wdll start you with the first issue.
Do it now!

TIMES
The Junior Play
A comfortably filled house greeted the
junior players in their finished production of "A Single Man," the first event
of the Commencement Week. The comedy situations wore cleverly brouglit out,
with a finish in action which speaks
well for some treats during 192-1. The
lure of the vamp wdio fries and cannot
catch the aft'ectious of the desirable
bachelor around whom the play centers; the baby ways of fhe precocious
sub-deb wdio does without t r y i n g ; the
quiet dignity of the faithful secretary,
who conceals her own affection, until
she finds it returned; all were done
with a smoothness that the plot hiirdl.v
warranted.
Albert Eberl.y, as Robin
Worthington, the much sought bachelor,
was excellent, and made as much of liis
characterization as ,Iulia Coffej- made of
hers. Her "straight" acting came close
to tlie professional; there is talent in
this young person. Lucille Burnham
was a perfectly natural toniboy-growiiigup; and Alice Ryan brought down the
house at times with her energetic comedy vamping.
In the lesser parts, Sall.v Hann.a as
Robin's sister-in-law gave a creditable
performance; and Carl Hayes entered
into his role wdth more sincerity than
perhaps any member of the cast. Isabella Wabsdii, as Lady Cottrell, Victor
Hauey as Dickie Cottrell, Edythe Morrall as Bertha Sims, Ruth Kangsford as
Robin's housekeeper, and Ann Peters as
the iMrlor-miide, rounded out a capable
cast.

tered into by the Lock Haven school
authorities and the normal school, whereb.V members of the senior class in the
normal school may receive practice
teaching training in the public schools
of the city. There was no alteration in
the plan followed last year.
Dr. Benson, superintendent of the
schools of Lock Haven, had earnestly dosired that tho compensation paid to the
training teachers by the normal school
should be increased, so that these teachers nught be able to take summer fraining courses, improving themselves as
teacliers, a n d , particularly as training
teachers. His request had much to commend i t ; if would have brought about a
highly desiralile situation from all
angles; but in view of the present situation financially in the state it was impossible for the normal school to offer
more than it had offered last year. Mr.
Drum and Mr. McDougall did offer to
the city the services of the measurements
courses in the norinal school, so that
without expense to the city other than
the cost of materials an exhaustive survey of the intelligence <and specific aceomplishments of the pupils of the city
might be made. Such a survey would
involve, should the city have to undertake it independently, an outlay of not
less than five thousand dollars. This
offer was not accepted at this meeting,
but is under Dr. Benson's adviseinenf.

Normal Times Staff Work
to Be Easier
The Normal Times staff next year will
not have to work under the difficulties
that have hampered this year's staff.
Mr. Drum lias consented to fit up a room
so that the work of handling the papers,
f.vpiug fhe material, etc., may be accomplished without all the delay that
has been unavoidable this year. Typewriters, filing boxes, tables, etc., will be
provided, so that the papers need be
handled once only iu the process of
turning copy into t.vped form for the
printer. Mr. Treinbath says t h a t this
will make it possible for the 192-1 staff
to be in control of the process from
start to finish. This year's staff exclaims, in heartfelt chorus, "Pretty soft!"

Baccalaureate Sermon
Rev. William E. Harr, pastor of the
First Reformed Church, delivered au inspiring message to the inembers of the
graduating class in the presence of an
as.seinbl3- ot reliitiyes and friends that
filled the auditorium. He pleaded for
worship, prayer, brotherhood, ideals,
and service in the spiidts of the graduates, aud particularly for that larger
brotherhood that will nipe out all differences of race, caste, creed, or class
iu unselfish service. Rev. Edward Crumbling delivered the benediction.

Girls' Council Members Chosen
Due fd Mary Hile's decision not to return until the second term next year,
the Junior girls at their meeting on
Ma.v 23, faced the necessity of choosing
two members to act wdth Alice Wieseu
as the senior representatives ou the student council next year. Blan.die Smith
and Grayce Coppersmith were fhe final
selections, after close balloting. They
were chosen from the list of all students
having an average grade of 2 or better
for their junior year.
Preceding the election Mr. Drum spoke
of fhe value of student government to
fhe scliool, and of the many privileges
which student councils had wou for the
girls that previous normal school generations had not enjoyed. Mary Mowrer
and Martha Dice, graduating members
of this year's council, also spoke, telling of wdiat help membership on the
council and the exiicriences that go with
it had been to them.
Alice Wieseu wdll be president of the
new council, Blanche Smith vice president, and Grayce Copiiersniith secretary.

Coming Scrubs Observe
Teaching
The junior chiss met with Mr. McDougall, director of the training school,
on Tuesday, May 15, to get their teaching assignmeufs for next fall. The assignments are being made much earlier
this year than has been the custom.
Tliere has been heretofore too much of
a break at the beginning of the fall
term. It has taken the new scrub faculty several weeks to get themselves adjusted, find out how the training teachers wdsh their classes to be handled, etc.
This year each student assigned for
teaching in the fall will have ample opportunity to observe the work of the
class in wdiich she is to teach, thus making the transition from junior student
to senior teacher easier both for the
pupils and for the training teachers.

The iinnual Junior Prom was held in

The receiving line was exceptional,

Punch, wdth an unusual kick (don't

popular features of the evening. Worn
out by all the attentions it received, it
ran out before the evening was half

evening. May 30, with Gertrude Harper
in charge. The usual devotional exercises were held, after which each senior
told what Y. W. had meant to her during her days a t C. S. N. S. The meeting
closed with the forming of the friendship circle and the singing of fitting
hymns. It was hard to sing with the

Normal Times Staff Chosen
for 192.3-24
The board of editors of Normal Times
has elected its successors for next year
from a list of junior candidates submitted bj' Mr. Trembath, the faculty advisor, and recommended by him as well
able to handle the editorial task with
complete success. Those chosen were:
Marie Crain, Albert Eberly, Helen Nace,
Cleona Coppersmith, Grayce Coppersmith, Edith Burgeson, Neta White,
Velina Ridge, Lucille Burnham, Frances
Cook, Mary Hile, Helen Ditfmar, Ciitherine Devcreux, Sara Gardner, Frieda
Staiinan, Helen Bufliiigfon,
Blanche
.Smith, Leah Hile and Ruth Langsford.
Not all of these may serve, but next
year's board will be chosen from them.

At a staff meeting to be held soon the
editor-in-chief and others of the major
positions will be filled by vote of this
board.
They will work wdth the iiresent board
on this and the subsequent issues this
j'car. They wdll have to do some clever
thinking, in the opinion of the school,
if they are to t u r n out a better paper
than this year's has been; but that
thinking they are fully capable of doling, is the opinion of the junior class.

Wild Life in L. H.
On a beautiful evening iu May—^May
24, fo be exact—^several of the modest
students from the east dorm were wandering around the streets of the metroiiolis, wdien they saw a gray streak
giving an almost successful exhibition
of disappearing around a corner. They
set sail after the streak, rounded the corner, and saw the gray backhand stubby
legs of <a groundhog trying to gallop
away from its bushy tail down the
center of Main street. The boys followed in hot pursuit, but it was not until Ted Schreiber tripped, fell, and lit
right on the wild animal that they were
able to bring it to a stop.
After binding it tail and foot, the
happy infants returned to C. S. N. S.
with their prey. For several days they
kept it in the dorm, feeding it little
by little, and getting it fairl5' tame;
tame enough, at any rate, that Mr. Ulmer was willing to come and take it over
to his home wdth little opposition. May
they both live happy ever after!

of the same opinion. One-half hour extra on the campus nights is not much
unless you are fhe ono that has to come

Hiawatha's AVedding Feast, a cantata
written liy Samuel Coleridge Taylor, the
famous negro composer of London, was
beautifully presented by the Lock Haven
Community Choral Club in the Normal
School auditorium on Friday night. May
11. The music, with its true Indian
rhythm, was particularly lovely. The
club brought out well in its interpretation
the touch of pathos t h a t runs through
the whole cantata. Mr. Gordon Curtis,
of the Cornell University Glee Club, carried the tenor solos to the delight of his
iiudience. It was something of a blow
to niiiny of the young dreamers in the
audience when the aunouneement was
made privately that he was engaged to
he married immediately after graduation, and that he was sailing for India
as .a missionary.
Before the cantata Miss Sara Gabriel
read the portion of the poem that dealt
with the wedding feast, interpreting the
personalities of the Indian characters admirably.
At the close of the program the club
presented to Miss Shaw, our music department head, who has lead the Choral
Club throughout this, its first year, a
sapiihirc and diamond bar pin as a token
of their esteem.
An unexpected addition to the program
provided the audience wdth one of the
best and longest laughs Normal School
.audiences have enjoyed in many a moon.
While Miss Gabriel was reading the lines
of the poem, and just as she arrived at
this "lagoo! Here's lagoo come among
us!" a large gray cat sauntered across
the platform, sat down beside her, and
mewed loudly for attention. I t was several ininutos before the audience could
quiet itself sufficiently to let Miss
Gabriel go on.

Williamsport Man Lectures
on Birds
The science laboratory was filled with
a group of nature enthusiasts on May 21
to hear Mr. Rishel, of the science department of the Williamsport High
.School, lecture on birds. He brought
with him sixty beautiful slides, showing
birds, their nests, and their young.
Many of his slides showed remarkably
the work that nature has done in protecting birds in providing colorings that
are almost invisible against their usual
background. One in particular, showing a woodcock on his nest, surrounded
by grasses, kept many of the students
guessing so hard that the,y had to be
shown wdiere the woodcock left off and
the grasses began.
Many of tho traits of our common
birds were described so interestingly
t h a t the time had more than passed before any of the audience had become
aware of it.

Oh, girls, what will I write for Normal
Times? I'm getitng so tired of racking
my brain, trying to be original; why
doesn't Mr. Trembath give us a week's
rest?—Well, I'll never get it done this
way, so help me, Cassius. Let me think
—^yes, I'll write up the Junior Prom.
"The Juniors tried mighty hard to
please the stately—"—Oh, girls, wasn't
it a scream the way the girls tried to
arrange a cut-in dance so they could
meet that good looking fellow from
State. I'm glad the.v didn't, though, for
I hate cut-in dances. Let's see: where
did I leave off? Oh, yes.
"The Juniors tried mighty hard to
lilease the stately Seniors by putting
the Prom over wdth a bang." I don't just
like the way that sounds, but I'm just
too weary to think any more.
"The gj-m was beautifully decorated
wdth the .lunior colors, and—" Did you
hear about the Glee Club banquet? Miss
Shaw has rented the Country Club for
Thursdaj- night, and I know we're going to have a circus. Isn't Miss Shaw a
dear? She always knows what the girls
wdll like. Well, I guess I had better
get busy.
"Part of the bag was furnished by
the orchestra, wdiich proved to bo satisfactory to all." Oh, kids, did you notice
that violinist.' I almost forgot to dauce
once when we passed the orchestra.
Dear, dear, my mind is wandering, aud I
siui]dy cannot get down to work. Well,
one inight as well keep at a task until
it is finished.
"The faculty were all watching from
the sidelines." I do think that girl with
the old-fashioned red dress looked perfectly stunning. The lace insertion just
put all the finishing touches to it. That
reminds me, I have to go to the dressmakers right this minute. I'll finish
this now and run.
"
looked more beautiful than the
gj-ni has ever looked." —-My, what's the
use! I can't study, so I'm not going
to try.
I wonder if Marg is still cross at me;
wait just one minute, and I'll run and
see. Surely some one else will write
up this old dance.
