PRIMARY GRADES GIVE ANNUAL PROGRAM Members of the faculty, the student body and friends of the young participants enjoy ed the program given by the Kindergarten and Primary grades , of the trainin g school , in chapel on March 21. This is an annual event and that it had been enjoyed in the past was attested by the interest displayed by the college. The program included the results of work that had been done in music , art , health and social studies classes. One of the pupils read the scripture and asked for the announcements. The kindergarten entertained with a band program and songs. The second grade presented pictures illustratin g civic problems in social studies. They also presented poems they had written and the music composed as a setting for the words. First grad e delighted the audience with action songs, games , and dances. The third grade gave a sketch depicting a desert situation. The grade has been studying desert life , and the sketch centered about a party of t ourists and a band of robbers. The tourist 's children were left at a hotel in the desert. When robbers appeared on the scene , the children effected their capture . A desert song written by Miss Moore was used in this part of the program. The progra m was worked out by the children themselves under careful supervision of the trainin g and student teachsrs.

A one, act comedy entitl ed "The Ghost Story " was well presented by a group of students from Millville High School. We h op e t he y w ill be our gues t s again in t he n ear future. BASEBALL SUPE RSEDES CAGE AND MAT Twenty-five Men Respond Now that basket-ball and wrestling have finished all the athletes have started practicing baseball. Although our school is not a school of physical education many boys participate in the various sports. With the addition of wrestling to the list of sports, there were fifteen out of twenty members who did not participate in any other sport. The greater number of sports and athletic activities w e h ave, the greater number of participants we have. Here's hoping the time will come when all the boys will be able to take part in sports conductive to their physical makeup. When coach Booth issued a call for baseball candidates at least 25 men responded. All of the boys have been working out with Coach Booth , Captains Yocabonis and Creveling. Many of the candidates are veterans from last year 's team and these with the additions of much good new material should produce a winner for our school again. The season opens up on April 12 with a semi-pro team from Scranton as a home attraction.

News About You—Of Tou-For You |editorial | a world of change Have you noticed the approach of Spring? Everything seemed dead , but a spark was hidden somewhere and suddenly bursts forth The spirit of it all is catching. Some fine warm afternoon you 'll awake with a start to find that you have the fever. Nature, every season , to prevent the scenery from growing tiresome, makes sweeping changes. That same spirit makes people want to clean up the place and help the good work along. It has always been that way for we grow tired of the old routine. New fads spread because of the truth of this statement. We would prefer purchasing our wares in some distant city. We look with doubt at the accomplishments of local talent. What would we do if we saw our position taken from u s because of t h e w orking out of such a principal? Is there any remedy? Change i s one of the hardest steps to take. It is so much ea sier to f ollow th e beaten path , b u t if w e could learn tha t lesson of change from nature it would carry us a great way. I believe we copy too closely some people's idea s and since we add n othing ourselves they never become a part of us. In teaching the methods of instr uction do not remain stationary. Doubtless the new ideas have many fl aws but then its different and therefore more interesting. The people want it and the "gogetters " supply itI think I' ll look ar ound and pick up new things when they look good. I may be able to cap italize the habit.

Too Many Organizations Dear Editor: I have ju st returned from a week-end at home. That is what occasions this letter. I must confide in someone. My dog met me at the door. He was a very dejected-looking animal and equally as hungry as I. I walked in , shouted a bit , received n ot h ing but an echo , and began a search of the house. Finally I found som eth ing , and t ha t something is the embryo of this outburst. It was a note and after a translation of the hurried scribble, I gathered that there was a little something to eat in the ice-box. Life today is one long rigamarole of organization. Whether we move right or left , we find ourselves enmeshed in a long string of corporations , lodges or improvment societies. I do not deny that many of these organiza- & j k H. & C.

The professional baker stept to the fore at the time of prohibition and took the bread industry fro m out of their hand s apparently with the worthy idea of aiding prohibition , and when nonprohibit ionists cried for home-made bread , Mother and 'Father had both gone out for the evening. The baker stepped to the fore again and not only supplied the demand , but put a permanent kink in the platform of the Korne-makers. He produced the kind of bread Mother used to make for eight cents and then added the kind she tried to bake for twelve cents. % Thus it is with everything today—too much improvement. Everything seems to point to the ultimate desire of society: to accomplish everything ' without doing anythin g—to give everybody more time for recreation. The idea is good , but it should not be carried into the family . Everyone in the family has his own special club. Thus he eats a hasty meal , if be has time. If he has not , he drops into a quicklunch place and eats a hot dog (probably put out by one of the iargest meat-packing corporations in the world), and proceeds to his club; there to forget the family squabble he has contrived to get into in the short time that he was home. What will it all lead to? Our greatest interests are centered in the family. Are we going to destroy that greatest community of all? To sum up the situation; we find that Father goes off to join his poker companions ar the lodge; Mother goes off to the Chataqua Circle , where she engages with another in a lengthy discourse on the bringing up of children ; Brother answers the toot of a horn and rushes off to the frat; Sister grabs her cigarettes and answers the same sort of call to join her sisters of the sorority; while poor little Theodore is taken to the Community Nursery to listen , with twenty-five others to the incorporated bed-time stories told over the WJZ network by an eminent member of the Nurses Association of America , and / sit and eat cold-ham sandwiches , in the kitchen , with a poor lonely dog at my feet.

But we are proud to have something in addition , and that is a gallery full of Frosh girls. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday we are able to look up into their bright and shining faces. Now this is an educational process. We learn much from the gallery gods as tradition would have you , who sit up there. For instance one of the Seniors was heard to remark , that she never realized before that there were so many different shades of hair and types of complexions. The upperclass women receive timel y tips on fashion , hairdress and manners. Through their exalted position the Freshmen create an example (not saying what kind) for the entire chapel congregation. It seems that the girls are proud of this lordly position. From this lookout they may view the various activities and in-activities of their fellow citizens. And so to the gallery gods of 1929-30 the Freshmen of 1928-29 wish the best of good times. f^^^ B^P4 I4Hv1} ^HvO ^^^ v1 9^HB^^O^ BBiri F^ ^^BI^H/^^^^^ H J^^ ^^^^^ J^ ^B^^ P^r^^^ P^HJ ^^MBU f^^H^^^ f^^^^^ H V^^^^^ w ^^^ b ~~ ~ s^tTTd 'Ie^' n t s~~ ^^ P * SQUARE Paul Longenberger ~~ B A RTOJT tT pURSEiT" 120 West Moin Street •:• Below the Square Mens Suits , $1.00 Mens Overcoats and Topcoats 1.00 . . .
