N. 8. girls lost their first game of this season to Bellefonte High School on Friday, January 9. The game was fast and rather rough. Normal scored first, caging a iield goal, but in the next few niinutes Bellefonte caged three, getting into a lead from which they were not again dispossessed. In the second quarter the Normal girls stepped arouiicl with more speed, the half ending with the score 18-TO in Bellefoute's favor. A ten-ininute rest did tlie Niuanal team iiuicli good. The ball was kept away from the Bellefonte basket, and the score worked uj) to 18-15. That ended NoriiLal's spurt, Bellefonte jiutting np the better game from then on. The final score was ^iO-21. Fidlowing the game the Bellefonte High crowd gave a dance for the Normal team. The team and the crowd of rootters, wlio went with them, enjoyed that hospitality to the full. Bellefonte pla.vs a return game here on February 14, when the girls h.ave every intention of evening up tlie score, both in games won and in luisiiitalily extended. Amateur Photographers Out Two iiienihei'S uf ilr. Ulmer's Science Class were seen laboriously trying to focus down the lieantiful winter scene of the C. S. N. S. Campus on January 10. The trees, heavily laden with a white blanket of snow stood out against the blue-gray sky. Looking across the fluffy wliite drifts of snow, the amateur photographers could see the long outline of the school building through the falling snowflakes. Then to give the picture a hiinian touch, the eye of the camera fell on the faithful figure of Belvie, piling the snow on either side of the walk. Yes, indeed, 'tis a picture worth preserving, a typical C. S. N. S. scene. l-'Oinbra, Flotow's brilliant light o]iera, will be produced here February 20 li.v an American all-star operatic caste. This is the opera's first season on the road and it has scored musical triumphs wherever it has been heard. Clyde L. Lyon, of the Illinois State Teachers' College at DeKolb, 111., says: "L'Oinbra was a big success. Our music Jieople are enthusiastic in jiraisc of the selection and of the singers." The Praeeo Dance, given annually by the Seniors to raise funds for the preliminary expenses of their year liook, was held Saturday evening, Januarj' 17. .\bout 125 coujiles were present, the usual large delegation from State, witli smaller crowds from Bucknell and elsewhere, jirovidiiig the necessary male element. The gym was decorated to give an ice carnival effect, a new idea here, ami one rather effectively, though not elaborately worked out. Brown Bossert's Orchestra furnished a very good line of dance music. There were no refreshments other than the fruit iiuiich, but there was Jilenty of that, and it had been made long enough before the dance to make it develop its full taste. (Credit for the dance goes to the hard working eommittees from the Senior class. The committee chairmen were' Decorating, Dorothy Savage; Ticket, Blanche .Mauger; Music, Gertrude McDermott; Refreshment, Grace McK^iiiiiey; Heception, Bernice Da.v.

This coniment conies from I'^ureka, Kan. "It is delightful entertainment— one thoroughlj' appreciated by lovers of good music." The Salt Lake Tribune, Salt Ijike City, Utah, has this to say concerning the artists: "The five inembers of the coinjian.v won iinniediate favor with the interjiretative quality of the musical score. Stella Norelli Lamont, lyric coloratura soprano, cast as Vespina, a young widow, has an excellent range and clarity of voice. Carl Formes, baritone, wdio rendered the part of Dr. Mironet with a vigorous jiersoiiality, jii-ovided iiiueli of the opera's humor. Luzanne France, lyric sojirano, in the Jiart of Gina, a maid servant jiretty and demure, was thoroughly jileasing with her deftness and sprightliness. Olirad Djurin, as Pralirizio, a sculjitor, brought a melodious tenor voice of excelk'iit aiiidulation to the part. Arthur Lydell, the jiianist-director, evidenced much skill in the accoinjianimeuts. l.'Omlira was first jiroduced at the Paris Inijierial Theater of the Opera Comique, July 17, 1870, and this is the first time it lias been given in the United States.

New Juniors Elected to Council I n Girls' Meeting, December 16, the Juniors elected their permanent council members. Of the list of those eligible, five were nominated. They w e r e : Anna Else, Winifred King, Rose Bower, Florence Berkwater and Margaret Zurewich. Voting was done by secret ballot as heretofore, and the final count showed three in the lead. They were Anna El.se, Rose Bower and Florence Berkwater. Florence Berkwater withdrew her name. As this left a decided majcrity in favor of Anna Else and Rose Bower, further voting was unnecessary.

A heart rending program was given to t h e serious minded. The ceremony was started by a serious duet, "Joshua Ebenezer Frye," sung solely by Jo. Eckenroth. The number was received with such fervor that May Hirlinger immediately gave an encore, which was taken to be "Don't Judge a Noise by Its Sound." Anne Daugherty gave two thrilling addresses at one and the same time. A humorous reading, "The Way I t Happened," by Marie Mullins, had the entire audience in tears. The crowning feature was "The Harvester, or the Gathering of the Nuts," all that it might imply. • • • Bob Burman was demonstrating to a Junior music class how to teach a rote song, using the class as his victims. After he had sung it once through, he said, "Now, I want you to sing this phrase by phrase after me." He sang the first phrase, and the class repeated it after him. He sang the second phrase, and the class just sat and looked. After some minutes Bob burst out with, "Well, if I didn't sing it right, why, you do anyhow."

As I was saying, the first day I saw Jack Wood I liked him. The big fellows did too, wliich was half the liattle. M'e all used to be sujierstitious, even about the smallest things, jiliinting corn, having a black cat across our path, giving birch to the girls when the moon was waning, and most of all we were afraid of the dark—not only us little cottons but the big fellows too. We were sjiecially afraid to go through our ravine—you know, the pass between the old homesteiid iind the Shamokin side of the inountain. We said there were wild animals and even ghosts there. Well, .lack Wood said that Wiis iill bosh and to prove it he said he'd take as many of the fellows through on the night of the church social as wanted to go—It was a short cut and they could stay later. The boys were rather slow about accepting his challenge and they reminded him of the awful "eyes" even they had seen at the very beginning of the pass. .lack laughed and said he'd show them that very night what the eyes were. True to his promise and with almost ever.y school boy very much present .Tack took us to the head of the pass. He located the "eyes," marched boldl.v Dji to them and took a hold of the portion below the "e,yes" wdiere the mouth should have been, and brought this terrible beast to us— "What was it, Dadd.v—a b e a r ? " "Shucks, Baby—it was only a piece of for-fire." Your old Daddy's never been afraid of "ej'es" since—not even .vour mothers.
