Central State's annual book, Praeco, for tlie second year in succession carried off iirst class honors. This places it in the first ([uarter of the 4S!) books entered, less than a quarter of the year hooks making this grade. First class honors were awarded to those books which apparently had made the most of their oppcjitunities in the production of tlie annual. Two years ago the Praeco received a similar rating, when entered against year books of normal schools and colleges having less than 300 students. This Iiast year, due to the growth of tlio Normal School, Praeco was rated in the unlimited clas.s, books produced by all normal schools and colleges over 300. Tt stood as high as tlie year before. Tlie fairy opera, "Hansel ami Gretel," was [ircseiiteil ill the auditorium Friday evening, Octiiber 2!l at S: l.'i P.

The cnst wns made up of three soprano voices, nil nito, nud a liaiitone. During till' couise of the performance, two nf the- iiieinliers played dual jiarts, which 1111 ly served to liring out their ability t(i a greater degree. The story of the opera follows that of the f.airy tale, "Hansel and Gretel," with which every one is familiar. The two children stray into the woods from their liome and become lost. They fall asleep nnd awake to find tJiemselves before the house of a cruel witch. The two are under the power of the witch, wild hns ;i dark end jilauned for them until tlic\- outwit her and escape, to be fiiiinil e\ciitiinlly liy their pnreuts. Praeco did not c a n y off one of the All-American cups. The score sheet has not been returned, so that no report can be made on exactly what points the book fell short of championship standards. In tlie college classes these championsliip cups went to the year books of Leland Stanford University, the University of Kansas, the University of Washington, the University of Indiana, the Universit.v of Minnesota, and Southwest Texas State Teachers' College. Pennsylvjinia books from this section which were entered in the contest were, in addition to Praeco, York High School's Tatler; Wilkes-Barre High School's Breidlin, Kane's Hurri-Kane; St. Mary's High of Wilkes-Barre Miriam; the Dart of Dickinson Seminary, Williamsport ; the Annual of Avalon; The Academian of Shadyside Academy, Pittsburgh; the Candle of Highland Hall, Hollidaysburg; the Trumpet of Villa Maria Academy, Erie. All of these received first class honors. Second class honors were given to these Pennsylvania annuals: The Sheaf, of Mt. St. Josephs, Philadelphia; the Munhisko, of Munhall; the Trumpet, of St. Gabriels, Hazleton; the Gaehtin Bambil, of Lehighton; the Kit-Han-Ne, of Kittunning; L.a Meinoire, of Williamsport; the Annual, Wilkinsburg. In the third class group were the Liber L, Altoona; Memories, Turtle Greek, the Argus, of Central High, Harrisburg; the Wall Hoo, of Allegheny High, Pittsburgh, and the Shawnee Arrow, of Plymouth.

About tlie week of October 17 many rumors were alloat to the effect tliat Central State Normal School was not going to have its annual Hallowe'en dance this year—liut—was there a dance.' There certainly was; .and bigger and bi'tter tliaii ever. Men for the occasion arrived as early as ri'id.ay miirning, October 29, so that by S.aturda.v evening, a])proxiniately two hundred .voinig men were here to .attend the dance. . "(ioi-geons!" "Beautiful!" "Stuuiiiiig!'' were some of the exclamations which issued from the girls as they entered the gym. It indeed was all of that, for the faculty had worked hard •anil long to make it attractive. Largo clusters of leaves, in .all the beautiful autunin colors, served as a roof under whicli the ballet girls, gypsies and Scotch lassies danced to the music of the Lyric Orchestra. Witches, black cats, and owls, with big shining eyes, stared at the dancers from behind the black trees on either side of the gym. During intermission an appropriate Hallowe'en lunch, consisting of apples, dciughnuts and cider was served. The success of this dance was due to the efforts of the entire faculty and especially to the following committees. Social Committee: Miss Eoberts, chairman, Miss Whitwell, Miss Alber, Miss .\therton, Miss Rearick, Mr. Dick, Mr. Sullivan, Jlr. High, Miss Lesher and Miss Dahle. Decoration Conunittee: Miss Atlierton, chairman, Miss Whitwell, Miss Dixon, Mr. Dick and the members of the Art Club. Invitation Committee: Miss Roberts, chairman. Miss Whitwell and Miss Lesher. Aiiiong the many guests at the dance were young men and women from every coiner iif Pennsylvania, the niajorit.v, as usual, coming from that refuge of the iiartnerless State College. The Normal Sehool was glad to be able to act as temporary host to them all.

Miss Himes' Article in School Journal "Kindergarten Educntion," Jliss Jessie Scott Himes talk to the schoolmen at the Central District Convention here on October 8, is given in full in the November issue of the Penns.vlvania School Journal. It was felt when her speech was delivered that her ideas were inaking a distinct impression on the body of men present. That her article should have been the single one selected for reprinting in the School Journal is confirmation of the accuracy of that feeling. The Journal makes one error. Jliss Himes is not Kindergarten Director, as stated; she is director of kindergartenpriinar.v teaching.

If they didn't iindersfanil him now they never wonld, for he had hunted with the snme outfit ever .since it hiid been nrganized. He had cnme to us from Lycoming Count.v, and never tired telling about the big game he bad killed there. It was prett.v hard tn believe, for in all of his years with us he liiiil not so much as shot it rabbit. He was the chief entertainer of the club; that is, if the others gave him a chance tn get started. He had told his deer and bear stories so offeii that they had liecnme a realit.v to him. This particular evening the subject haji]iencd to be beiirs. Some one had seen tracks t h a t afternoon, so of course every one was excited. One of the men told a story on Curley just to get him going. It seemed that these two had been hunting together that day when signs of a bear became evident. Spike said that since he had killed so many bears in his time, he thought he'd just lie low and see if Curley could shoot. Well, Bruin eame along and Curley mounted a tree. Shaking and shivering, he could not load his gun to save himself, and by the time he was ready, the hear had disappeared. This little yarn served its jiurpose. "Well, believe me, boys," he began, "I've killed a few bears in my days, Y'ou see, hunting laws were not so strict up where I came from. We used to t r a p them by the dozens. Once when my brother Jim ;ind I went out, we had six traps going all at once. We baited them early one morning, and hid nearby to see what would happen. We didn't have long to wiiit. In just a little while, there was an awful crashing in the underbrush, and prett.v soon the biggest bear 1 ever laid eyes on came tearing through. He had smelled the meat and was headed straight for the t r a p . Jim was kinda shiikiu', but I didn't feel a bit nervous. Bruin began to eat and just as he finished the cage door flew shut with a bang. "Instantly Bruin turned a n d showed fight. I thought I'd give Jim first chance to shoot. Well, he wasted six shots, so I took up my gun and fired. Mr. Bear fell dead. We went to the other traps and found bears in every last one of them." "Gild! you certainly laid them out t h a t time, didn't you?" remarked Spike. "Yes, and every one was bigger t h a n the last." "The same statement might be iipplied to your yarns," agreed his tormentor. "Maybe you don't believe it, but down in Lycoming County, they " "Yes, they can sure think up the da rudest yarns." "Well, all the liius don't come from Ijyconiing County," retorted Curley pointedly, giving Spike a mean look. There was :i general uproar at this, and he went on, "As I was saying, another time " "Now, daddy, I think you've killed enough bears for one evening. Let's go to bed. "Sure," they idl agreed, "save some for the rest of us for tomorrow." The nuinber of days until the Thanksgiving holidays seems to be decreasing. No wonder, when so many are eagerly counting their passing. I NORMAL To cylCHENBACH'S for Dinners — Lunches — Pastry — Candies Wholesale and Retail Ice Cream LOCK HAVEN, PA.

TIMES OUR OWN LITTLE DIARY Monday, October 25 Had dinner out this evening. I enjoyed m.vself a lot. Seemed rather funny to be out for just one evening. I guess I missed a lot of fun though. The kids were all excited over something. I was to be the judge when I eame in. I didn't notice anything wrong, so it was all right. They left me in the dark for a while. Finally they told me.
