Feliniiir,y lirst wiis the beginning iif ii
new ileal for all students. The first
seniester eanic to its close ou Jiiuuiir,-v
31, with varying degrees of glor.v. The
next dii.v the second semester schedule
went into oi)eration.
Xew student teachers hiive taken their
places in the training school, aud the
former scrub faculty members are now
liouring over sociolog.v and history of
educiitiou. The .juniors for the first
time get into the thick of the work of
teaching. Method courses, directlj'aimed
at the exact sort of .job the teacher is
to get in the public school, are piling
up right and left. The realization that
il primary grade room, an intermediate
group of boys and girls, the shift and
changes of classes in the .junior high
school, lies just ahead, for the first time
is aiiparent to the .luniors. The increase
in the purposefulness with which they
now move about ciiuses many senior
chuckles.
On Monday nuirning, Jiinuary -9, Mr.
Drum discussed in chapel the iiilvantages
of the curricula open to normal school
students. His talk was intended niiiinI.V to be of assistance to the juniors,
eiich of whom had, in the next few days,
to determine whether she was to fit herself for work in the kindergarten-primary grades, in the intermediate grades,
or in the junior high sehool.
The purposes of the first two courses
illlll the kind of work to be taken in
them, Mr. Drum said, was indicated
clearly in the catalogue. He dwelt at
iniire length ou the new three-year junior
high school course, not because, as he
said, he wished iinyone to take or not
to take that course, but because there
were more misunderstandings likely to
iiccur ill connection with it.
The one disadvantage of the new
course, he Siiid, is that it takes three
.vears to complete, one yeiir longer thiin
the otlier two. This disadviintage is
more than counterbalanced, for those
who believe that they can do effective
work with older students, in that it prepares not only for junior high school
but iilso for senior high sehool teaching
jiositions. Each graduate of the three
year course will be able to take positions in any high school of either grade,
to teach their subjects iu which he has
majored, and to secure the higher salaries paid for such work. "If the money
end of teaching is of interest to you, it
will pay .vou to take the three-year
course, provided that your interests and
capacities lead you toward upper grade
work," Mr. Drum said.

The Lock Haven Community Choral
Club on Tuesday evening, February 0,
gave its second concert in the normal
school iiuditorium. Lock Haven has reason to be proud of the splendid chorus
work of this organiziition, which is com]iosed for the most part not of professional singers but of busy men and
women who simply "love to sing."
The program given was that published
ill the last issue of Normal Times, the
only change being that Mrs. P. H. K a m p
was the iiccoiii])iinist. Miss 81iaw, head
of the normal school music department,
and leader of the chorus, eoiiducteil
the choral numbers.
A speciiil feature of the occasion, not
noted in the last Normal Times, was
the singing of The Wreck of the Julie
Plante, Jlirage, iind Thy Beaming Eyes,
by Francis Wheeler, of Communit.y Service, Inc., who was the founder of the
club last year, and who has been very
much interested in its success. Mr.
Wheeler voiced his pleasure at finding
the chorus at the present time so large
and so plaiiil.v successful.
Mr. Giirrett's bass solos were delightful.
So was the singing of the women's chorus, while the men, determined not to be outdone, sang with
great effect three rollicking sea songs.
The entire iiudience, which tiixed the
seating ciipaeity of the auditorium,
joined in the community singing and in
the Star .Spangled Biinner, which closed
the concert.

A Chinese Play in Chapel
The Turtle Dove, one of Margaret
Scott Oliver's pla.ys, was presented in
chaiiel by the pliiy production class on
Tnesilay morning, Juiiuar.v .SO.
The play was carried out iu true
("hiiiese manner, without stage settings,
other than the artistic backdrop that
represented a willow jilate, and with the
iiudience compelled to supply imaginatively such little details as walls, doors
in the middle of the stiige, the river in
which the heroine drowned, the bridge
which spanned it, etc.
Fully as entertaining as the actors
themselves was the Gong Bearer, who
solemnly clapped her hands whenever
the name of iin.y noble or deity was
mentioned, and the dignified Chorus,
whose duty it was to explain the story,
introduce the characters, and call the
attention of the audience to all the
subtleties of the story.
The cast of chariicters was:

The senior class on Saturda.v night,
January 27, gave a farewell diince to the
six members of the cliiss who managed
to complete their courses a t the mid.vear. The L.yric Orchestra furnished
the music, and the seniors the punch
and the jiep. Many of the faculty and
of the alumni attended, also a large
number of guests from State College,
Bucknell, Bellefonte, Lock Haven, iind
elsewhere.
Decorations were few, the attention
of the seniors being confined, appareiitl.v, to decorating themselves. The lack
of trimmings about the gym in no Wiiy
interfered with the pleasure of the
diiuce, however, which Avas one of the
most enjoyable in every wiiy eyer given
here.
For those who had to wait until the
dance wiis well under way for their
escorts to iirrive, all that we can say
is, "Piitience is a virtue; hope you don't
have to ju'actice it often."
After the diince, the entrance hall, the
blue room, and the stairway were fully
occupied. Suddenly the lights were
flashed, a signal not hard to interpret,
so everyone made it snapp.v.
It was rather embarriissing, wasn't it?
when your man stiirted to dance with
his galoshes on.
.lames Lenio.vne Comely, who arrived
with a retinue of fraternity brothers
from Bucknell, was a shining star over
the week-end.
Alice Ryan wanted to postpone the
dance until ili.lO, because "he" required
the time to determine the necktie he
wanted to weiir.

The boy's baaketliiill team kejit uii its
good work on Frida.v evening, February
2, by taking the fast Jersey Shore teiira
into camp to the tune of 2()-21. Jersey
Shore always has a real basketball team.
They begin phiyiiig the game in the
cradle, or so MacDonald insists, and
when they arrive in high school they
surely do know how to handle the ball.
They simplj- tackled one too hard when
the.v went up against this year's niiiroou
and gray aggregation.
The game was fiist and close at all
times. Jersey Shore's teamwork was excellent. They lost principall.v through
their tendency to take shots from points
too near the center of the fioor. On
their own smaller fioor such shots are
liossible, liiit ou the big floor of the
C. S. N. S. gym they looked foolish at
times.
Norniiil's
five-man
defense
never
showed to greiiter advantage, while Jersey Shore's was drawn in just often
enough to let Normal have suliicient
eiis.y shots to put the game on ice.
Haiiey's foul shooting was again
worthy of mention; ten out of sixteen
is by no means a world's record, but it
is so much better than hiis been seen
here for some yeiirs as to cause sighs
of relief.
The game was not free from roughness, but there was little to complain
about.
Bowes scored 15 of Jersey Shore's 21
points, registering seven from the foul
line iind eight from the field.
Kydesky had a good night, consistently outjumping his opponent, getting into ever,y play, and ringing in three field
goals.

The Stiite delegiition said that they
had an extra good time, even if they
did have a little difficulty getting their
cards of adinission, finding their partners-to-be, hearing the music, and saying good-night. Most of them went

the same vehicles: the agricultural department's Ford trucks.

Score one more big mark to the credit
of Central State.

Juniors Defeat Seniors
The juniors gave the seniors a severe
lieating ill the first endball matches of
the year, in the gymnasium on the evening of .Tanuary 20. Both junior teams
won over the opposing seniors, the 1:20
section of juniors defeating the 8:00
senior section two games out of three,
and t h e 3:20 juniors downing the 9:20
seniors in two stritight matches in
which the seniors scarcely scored at jill.
None of the reporters having thought
the exact scores of much account, they
can not lie given here.
The feature of the vesiJer service on
Februiii'.v 4 was ii reading, "Leave the
World iis It Is," b.v Marie Smith, who
lead t h e services. Next Sunday evening
Mrs. Diiick will speak. It is expected
that there will be a large iifteiidance.

Beauty Parlor Opened
The opening of ii beiiuty parlor, in
connection with Miss Yale's a r t department, has made a noticeable impression
on the school—and on the girls.
Helen Dittmar has been given charge
of the section iu "which cheeks are
flecked with crimson. Helen undersands
color combinations thoroughly
and
agrees to produce good results, no matter whether cheeks be dark or light, or
hair black' or red—or auburn, as so
frequently happens.
Grayce Coppersmith has consented to
take charge of all hair dying. Here dull,
lifeless, or faded hair may be restored
to its natural color—or any other. It
may also be made to match the latest
com|)lexion or evening dress.
From China has come a fad t h a t
makes necessiii'.y the extension of the
work of the manicuring department beyond the usual shaping up and brightening of fingernails. Nails, to be up
to scratch, so to speak, must now be
handpaiiited—should we say, "also"?
Harriet White, in chiirge of this new
branch, reports that she has many new
illlll distinctl.v unusual designs to use.
It is no longer necessary to be a wallllower, since all who are tired of being
buttercups may now at convenience ac(|uire the color scheme of the tiger lily.
THE IDEA WAS GOOD

(!. D.—"Why, yes, I have two—one for

L. S.—"Oh, no, I don't mean that
kind."
G. D.—"Oh, you want one of tliese

L. S. (disgustedly)—"No." (She starts
fo leave).
G. D.—"Say, do you mean one of these

She didn't, Gertrude; what she wanted was .vour little washboard.

CORRECTION OF SPEECH
DEFECTS—NEW COURSE
Miss Sarah Gabriel has opened a new
course for juniors and seniors in the
correction of speech defects, such as
lisiiing, stiinimeriiig, stuttering, baby
talk, etc. Miss Giibriel recently pursued a similar course at Lehigh University.
The course appeals especially to those
students who desire fo teach in the primary grades, as the nuinber of oppor-

tunities for the correction of such defects will be greater, the defects more
obvious, and the habits responsible for
them less firmly fixed.
At this time there is a decided increase in the iimount of .attention being
given in public school systems to the
correction of such defects. Student
teachers who graduate from Central
State will find that this special training
will open up to them a larger number
of opportunities and, quite possibly, better salaries tliiiii would be otherwise
olitainable.

NORM.4L TIMES, started in November of this school year, has in
so short a time become a decidedly potent factor in broadcasting
throughout the surrounding counties what Lock Haven and C. S. N. S.
have to offer to students. It is contributing definitely and directly to
the growth of the school.
NORMAL TIMES has no hesitancy in declaring the certainty of
another 35% increase in enrollment next year. The increase in number
ot inquiries over this month last year indicates at least that growth.
In stimulating those inquiries NORM.4L TIMES has found part of its
work; and in that promotion of a larger enrollment, as well as in
imemdlate sales, NORMAL TIMES believes itself to be offering you
good advertising returns.
NORMAL TIMES is proud to have a share in bringing about a
larger normal school. It extends its thanks to those of you who have,
up to this time, lent it your support, and it wishes particularly to
express its appreciation of the civic pride that has caused some of
you to support It, without hope, whatever the size of the school, of any
other return than that of seeing on the normal campus an overflowing
professional school.

MR. GAGE IN
A HOLD-UP
Mr. Gage has just had a somewhat unpleasant experience. It might have been
even less i^leasant had not he—but that
is getting ahead of the story.
After delivering his usual extension
course lesson at Houtzdale, Mr. Gage
varied his week-end routine by going
over to Osceola Mills, where a local institute was being held, to speak on The
Value of Extension Courses.
He left Osceola on fhe train which is
due in Lock Haven at 9:30. Just outside of Howard the train came to a
stop. Some ten minutes later the conductor came storming through the train,
saying that there was a wreck on the
track ahead, several coal cars having
spilled themselves over the tracks so as
to hold up all traffic.
