NORMAL TIMES At VOLUME 1 Central State Normal School LOCK HAVEN, PA., JULY 19, 1923 FACULTY RECEPTION NUMBER 15 C,S.N,S,GRmTES S students Turned Out in Full Special Summer Musical Number Gym Floor Filled With Kid Cut- New Ruling at State College of Ups, Kid Games, Kid Candy Draws Big Crowd—Band Force—Reception Has DeGreat Interest to All of and General Kidding Concert Is Great sired Effect Normal Graduates The big Normal Gyniiiasiiim presented a familiar scene of gayety on the night of the faculty reception to the host of teachers enrolled here this summer. It lias been packed with gatherings similar in size and in purpose before. This gathering yielded nothing to any of its predecessors, however, in fun or in friendliness. The students turned out ill full force, most of them with one of those new costumes that had been brought along for the sunimer prominently displa.ved for the first time. The faculty was present, not quite in full force, but almost so. Both students and faculty entered into the spirit of the affair—a get-together, to liring about early in the term the friendliness of reIjitionshiiJS that mark all C. S. N. S. gatherings. Tho grand march, from the vantagepoint of the balcony, was well worth seeing. The long columns advancing, retreating, and circling about in intricate formations, made a beautiful sight. The tag dance, which followed soon after the grand march, seemed to be popular with the girls. They got into the proper spirit, and had any amount of fun with the sudden shifts and the hunting for new partners. .ludgiiig by the number that strolled over to the punch bowl, the mixture it contained had plenty of appeal to the jialate. The Lyric Orchestra, wdth ten pieces, furnished the music, and kept the dancers revolving rapidly. The reception had the desired eft'ect. It was a real live "party." If there liad been any of the originjil strangeness, stand-offishness, aloofness, t h a t the new arrivals always bring along with them, it broke up, disajipeared, vanished in short order. Everyone left with something of the big C. S. N. 8. friendliness in them. RANDOM JOTTINGS Did you see how Mr. SulUvan had to work to keej) up with the grand niarcli.'

The program was well selected for the oeeasion, several serious selections and a number of lighter compositiens serving to keej) the audience t h a t filled the balcony, much of the floor, and part of the outdoors, attending with genuine eiijoj'inent throughout. It had been originally planned to hold the concert out of doors. Lights had been strung in the angle between the main building and the girls' dormitory, so that the band iiiigbt find its music eas.y to read. The sudden shower late in the afternoon drove the feature indoors, which lessened the novelty of the occasion, but detracted Uttle from the musical effect of the work nf this e.xcellent band.

And we all had a good time, only Evald, he ate too m.'Uiy lollypops, and he had to take some castor oil before it w.as morning. " I never saw so many kids in all my life. There were thin ones and fat ones, and t.all ones und short ones, and bad ones, but I didn't see any good ones except our family. They filled the balcony and they just jammed on the floor, and the bad boys kept going out around the corner for a smoke, but there were lots left inside, so I guess it was just as well. And the teachers from our schocd they were there, too!" (Continued on page 7) The president and the committee on acailemic standiirds of the Pennsylvania State College have ruled that the graduates of the ju'esent two-year normal school curricula who are also graduates of approved four-year high schools sliall be entered in the School of Educiitiou at that institution as juniors. Xiinual Sidioid gradii.'ites thus secure two full years of adv;iiiced standing at State for the Iwo years of work done here. Just what work the Normal S(diO(d graduate wdll be required to take at State ill order to complete his work for his degree will have to be determined b.v the work that he has already completed in Normal S(diool, and b.v the work iu which he wishes to specialize. State College thus puts itself in line with a number of other schools of education. Sevei'al of the best schools in the country have been admitting the graduates of this school wdth full two years of advanced credit. It will he noted, as should be expected, that this only ap]ilies to the Sclioid of Education. A Normal School graduate who enters any other field of work than education will be given credit only for those courses in Normal School which are the same or closely like those reijuired in his new field. The School of Education is an addition to the fields of educational endeavor into wliich the hustling Center ('(iuiity school is ex])anding. I t is, we c-onjecture, the product of the ambition and the organizing ability of Dean Cliaiubers, head of the work in education at State, whom Centr.-il Stiite is proud to claim as one of its alumni, aud who w.-is brmiglit into the work at State ou the strengtli of tlie wonderful reconl wliiidi the Scliocd of Kducation (d' tlu' I'liiversity of Pittsburgh had made under his direction.

He has been warned to put on skid chains before the next game. Hackenburg came close to making the longest hit of the game; his foul tip started to ride to Tamaqua on the New York Central.

Any old time you catch him asleep that wayl He came to this school to pass his work. He should have put Sully out of the game at that. The way that third baseman interfered wdth the ball wdien it came in his direction was a fright. Our cameraman was unable to get the expression on Van Arsdale's face when he dropped that foul tip. It would have been a happy summer if he had succeeded. Evald Ericson made an energetic cheer leader. The girls did not know wdiat or who they were yelling for half of tho time, b u t it was j n s t as exciting anyway. De Arment was afraid for the moment t h a t he had poked Trembath too hard as he came down to first on Ms only t r i p up to bat. He had cause to worry; he is taking Enf. Fund, this summer. Kathryn Geary had quite a time falling baek to sleep the other night, .after a sleep walker had tried the Macbeth act on her. New members are being added rapidly to the Early Risers Club. It is a beastl.v nuisance to have to take that walk, but think of the opportunity to wear one's knickers. The Campfire Girls can't fire when it rains. They held their last campfire picnic in the dining room with the rest of us. Nypen Band Fills Gym W i t h Music TIMES Hasty Pudding The Campfire Oirls went out to the Flemington canal on Wednesday afternoon intending to hold a picnic. The rain descended; it also fell. The Campfire Girls lunched in their regular idaces on Wednesd.a.v evening, back in the school dining room. Miss Towner is seeing to it that there will be a five-iiiecc orchestra at all the dances from now on. The students signified their wdllingness to be taxed a dime each for that purpose, so it is possible that the auxidophone wdll be allowed to gather dust for the rest of the sunimer. Viva, banzai, and hurrah. Over sixty summer sessionites, for the most part inembers of Miss MacGarr's classes in rural school problems, wont to State College on Saturday, July 14. Forty students of Swedish descent were present at a meeting in the auditorium, at wdiich a real old-time Swedish picnic was planned. Two Lock Haven Boy Scouts were present at the regular scout meetings on Friday, July 6, and demonstrated the different uses of bandages and the manner in which the scout coixts can be used in improvising a stretcher. Mr. Hoxworth is planning to hold a contest between the throe scout classes near the end of the session, awarding suitable prizes to the point winners. Miss McKisack had charge of the chapel exercises on July 13, and read a play whieh dealt with the teaching of art. I t pointed the moral that a r t should be taught for practical application in every day life, for the enrichment of t h e day to day lives of everyone; that there is little value, in the public schools, of slices of unapplied fine a'd, so called.

Tlie Swedish Club, which has been recently organized, is planning a number of good times. They have arranged to have Swedish songs and games once a week in the gymnasium, occasional games on the campus, and a picnic in the near future up along the canal. The Campfire Girls, directed by Mrs. McCormick, are enjoying frequent swims in the canal above Flemington. On July 21 they are invited to Williamsport, to be the guests of Mrs. McCormick for the day, and to stage and watch a number of Campfire activities with the Campfire Girls of that city. On Monday, July 2, a group of thirteen, ten of them students this summer, enjo.yed a real live horseback ride out along the canal early in the morning.

The trailing code, the use of the primitive bow and drill for firemaking, the tying of knots of all sorts, matrimonial excepted, and the building and manipulation of signal tires have been recent experiments.

P Y R A M I D B U I L D E R S — J U L Y 13, 1923 NORMAL TIMES THE O B S E R V A T I O N TOWER Clinton's New Superintendent Guy C. Brosius is the new superintendent of Clinton County. His appointment was announced on July 16 by Dr. George Becht, state superintendent of public instruction. Clinton Count.v is to be congratulated on its good fortune. A graduate of Bucknell University, a former assistant county superintendent in Potter fViunty, and since his service overseas during the World War a member of the faculties of Dickinson College and the University of Pittsburgh, Mr. Brosius has had a wide cxiierieuce. His educational record justifies high hopes for the progress of the schools of this count.v. Mr. Brosius' personal record also assures a deep interest in this count.y. His brother, Paul Brosius, was for a long jieriod the iiostmaster in Lock Haven. Mr. Brosius was born in Rauclitowii, and has man.y long-standing friends in this county in wdiich he is to serve. The resignation of former superintendent, Ira N. McCloskey, coming so unexpectedl.v iifter many years of unstinted effort ill the schools of this count.v, and forced b.v his regrettable breakdown in health, created much speculation as to the selection to be made. No logical suci'essor was immediately ap)iarent. With fhe first mention of Mr. Brosius' name opinion crystallized in his favor. The schools of Clinton Count.v wdll continue to be served in tlie interests of Clinton Couuty's children. 3 STORES IN O N E WM.

Thelma Lamborn and Mabel Estep giive Betty Bowser a room in which to hold reunions for a few days. Coming back here is almost like going home to Betty, who left us with the class of 1922. Mrs. E. M.

Comer Main and Vesper Sts. TIMES S. S. Student Council Picked Aldine Demonstration The girls of the dormitories met with Miss Yale in tho auditorium on Monday evening, July 2, to elect council members for the summer term. The girls from each floor were gathered in different parts of the auditorium, so that each might act independently in the selection of ono member of the council. After much discussion, as a result of the balloting Rose Gernet was chosen to represent third floor cast; Mildred Tate, second floor cast; Ellen Rodgers, third floor west; Mae Sughrue, second floor west; and Theresa Miller, first floor west. A demonstration of the Aldine system of teaching beginners was conducted by Mrs. Gareisen, demonstrator for the Newson Company, in Mr. Gage's Juvenile Ijiterature Class on Monday morning, J u l y 2. Rachel Ward, Margaret Collins, and Bernice Robacker were chosen to act as third grade pupils, and rendered joyfully "The Little Brown," to the amusement and somewhat to the profit of the other members of the class. Only one of the members of the council is entirely new to the work—Mildred Tate. Rose Gernet was appointed to the temporary council a t the opening of this summer, Mrs. Maurey not having appeared at t h a t time, and the rest served on the council last summer. It is a high compliment that the girls have paid to these re-elected members. Their re-election is the best endorsement t h a t the girls eould give to the manner in which they carried out the duties of their never easy job last summer. The new members will be just as well liked and as whole heartedly endorsed if they can take their responsibilities in the same way and t h a t is just what they will do. I t is now up to t h e whole school to back u p the council, to give them more than lip support. I t is rather a thankless task that they undertake. I t is one that always earns for the aceeptants much thoughtless blame and much headstrong opposition. Little praise is ever given, yet more praise is due than those who have just entered the school can realize. Many of the arbitrary and rigid rules of the faculty rule have been entirely done away with. Many have been modified sensibly, and many new privileges have been won for the student body at the request of the student councils of tho past few years. The faculty members who have been here a n y length of time have noted a steady relaxation of the rigidity of the rules that control student life. Just as rapidly as old rules are found to be no longer necessary in keeping the atmosphere of the school healthy, they will be done away with. Social hours have been lengthened, the time allowed out-of-doors after dinner extended, the bounds for students in the city expanded from a few blocks on Main Street to practically the entire city; these are just a few of the old restrictiojis that the student councils have had removed. There are no students in t h e school who desire a restoration of old conditions. There may be a few so shortsighted as not to see t h a t failure to support the council means just that restoration, b u t they are few. Student government at Central Normal may not be 100 per cent, ideal, b u t it is mighty good; it works; i t has worked and is working for the good of the school; and it has had and will have the support of the girls here. At the first meeting of the Council Mae Sughrue was chosen president, Mrs. Miller, vice president, and Mildred Tate, secretary. Miss Campbell's class in English has elected a staff for a class paper. The lucky ones a r e : Harriet Foust, literary editor; editor-in-chief, Emma Stolzfus; assistant editor, Clare Bender; joke department, Stephen Adams; class news, Elizabeth Doyle; kodak department, Sally Stuart; a r t department, Clara Levander; poetry, Nona Wagner. During the past week the students have had with them Miss Anderson, a representative of the Denison Manufacturing Co. At different periods during the day Miss Anderson gave demonstrations in the making of articles from crepe paper, and other Denison products. The students who wished to do so during the week made paper roses, costumes, and hats; also they wove baskets and made wax beads. This was a handy little addition to the knowledge picked up during this summer session. W H E N you know your hat is becoming, you can get the last ounce of joy out of every minute of life. Mrs. L.
