Annual Dramatic Club Play Tournament to Be Held Tonight Founders Day Banquet \ — Mr . Henry Klon ower, Director of "Cooks and Cardinals ," "Thursday P hi Sigma P i Ho lds First PERSIAN PHTIESS SUBJECTjF ADDRESS 9 Miss Lois J. Elder Describes the Strange Customs of Persian Peop le; Outl ines Work of Foreign Mission. In the assembly hour on April 24, Miss Lois J. Elder, member of the Forei gn Mission Student Volunteer Movemen t, sponsored by the National Y. W. C. A., spoke pleasingly of her contacts with peoples in remote parts of t he world , arid delighted the student body especially with her experiences in Persia. Miss Elder was the guest of the local Y. W. C. A. Chapter , and during the day made many friends at the College. Quoting a biblical reference to prove the antiquity of Eastern customs, Miss Elder recoun ted her experiences with many of the prevailing traditions of that strange people. One of the first Persian phrases she learned , she said , was t he t radi t ional salu tation of that language : "Sawyeh Shemah Can Neme Shevad. " Transla t ed , it means , "Your shadow, may it never grow less." This phrase has its counter statement in the Bible, where it has refere n ce t o Pe t er 's shadow falling on the sick, healing their infirmities and radiating goodness. This biblical connotation is a fair meaning of tlie modern usage of the term. Strange to say, the Persians have a contempt for American ways. The natives believe Americans taint everything they touch. They believe our shadow is poison to them if it chances to fall upon their body. Most of their customs arise from their Mohammedan religion, said Miss Elder. Miss Elder related an amusing incident that arose when an American girl and a Persian native found themselves confronting each other on a narrow path made of stones protruding above tho mire of the rain-soaked streets of one of Persia 's villages. It was necessary for one of the two to step aside into the mud to let the other pass. Had both been natives of Persia, the girl would have given way to the man , because women in Persia enj oy vory few privileges. However , knowing tho disposition of tho average American lady, the Persian gentleman stopped aside into tho mire to let this ono keep her skirts chaste.

At five o 'clock Saturday afternoon the members of Phi Sigma Pi met in North Hall Lobby, whence they jour neyed to Hotel Kocher, Light Street, to celebrate their first anniversary by a "Founders Day Banquet. " And what a banquet it was Dish after dish of chicken and waffles and all side dishes were brought on and consumed with gusto. When every one was so completely filled that he was forced to quit, Presiden t Oliver Krapf introduced Mr. W. H. Bristow, Director of the Eastern District, who expressed his pleasure at being present and at the progress which the fraternity has made in a year. He congratulated Iota Chapter on the prominent part which their representative, Clarence Hunsicker , played in the recent convention at Detroit. Mr. C. O. Williams, National Secretary, w as t hen in troduced by President Krapf and outlined the achievements of the fraternity since its early beginnings in 1916. He was a charter member of the Adpha Chapter at the State Teachers College, Warrensburg, Missouri. He made each fello w present feel proud to be a member of such a worthwhile and growing organization. Superin tendent Evans, the third educator to be taken into the fraternity as Honorary Members, came in abou t t his t ime , having been un avoidably detained. Dr. Haas was then called upon to introduce the speaker of the Continued on Page Three Play-enthusiasts will have a special treat in store for them this evening when the Dramatic Club will hold its annual play tournament in the College auditorium at 8:15.

Columbus in that memorial year, 1492 , brav ed the broad At lan t ic and won considerable publicity for himself and all concerned ; Commander Byrd braved the wide expanse of the frigid Arctic and flew over the South Pole ; but six eager-eyed students of Bloomsburg State Teachers College on that memorial day, April 18, 1931, broke into fame and perhaps fortune when they j ourneyed to a dam near Arbutus Park , at which place they gained the distinction of having made the first plunge of the year.

The program of the Geographic Society was well presented and was interesting to the students; a good example of what can be done when an attempt is made. We hope that this program will set an example that the other clubs in the school will follow when it is time for them to put on a program in chapel. o Temple Univer sity, Elmira College for Women , Lock Haven State Teachers College, Penn State, Susquehanna University and Codav Croat College will participate in the Women Athletic Association 's Annual Play Day at Bucknell University.

Dr. Haas told of some of the good old times that he and Mr. Klonower had together as teachers in their Alma Mater, the Philadelphia School of Pedagogy, and as co-workers in different divisions of the State Department of Public Instruction. First, Mr . Klonower told of the large part Dr. Haas has had in raising the standards of the teachers in service to their present level , from 9,000 teachers without normal school training in 1909 to only 116 today. Now our teacher training department ranks on a par with any in the country, due largely to the efforts of Dr. Haas. Throughout his speech Mr. Klonower stressed the importance of the teaching profession and the responsibility resting on the teacher in molding the lives of the pupils coming under his influence. Immediately aftor his speech he was welcomed into the fraternity as an Honorary Member.

Shippensburg won a free-hitting baseball game over Bloomsburg Wednesday afternoon , April 22 , by the decisive score of 12-6. The game was played under conditions of intermi tt en t rain , cold winds and cloudy skies ; in t he eighth inning the game ended when a driving rain began. Slaybaug h and Creveling were both hit hard in the first six innings, but the Shippensburg twirler tightened up in the remaining innings to hold Bloomsburg to two hits. Creveling lef t the box in the sixth, yielding to Valente , who did no t seem t o be effec tive either. Slominski and Sekulski followed Valente, but they were hit hard as their predecessors. The sixth and eighth innings were the big innings for Shippensburg. Nine runs were scored in these two frames. "Jimmy " Davis took the batting honors for the day with three hits, a homer and two singles. Rudowski drove the longest of the four home runs; the ball was hit far ' over t he lef t field fence , accounting for two " Bloomsburg runs. The local team did not seem to be at its best in fielding, for t hree runs were scored on errors. This is the first victory which Shippensburg holds over Bloomsburg in its athletic endeavors, bu t the day was not blue for Bloomsburg in that the tennis team soundly trounced the Shippensburg net team and evened things up. Tomorrow af ternoon the baseball team journeys to Mansfield to play the up-state college. A much-improved Bloomsburg attack is expected. x i i c a u i i i i i iu i ,y . B. S. T. C. R. PL O. A.

This year 's edition of the annual includes many changes in make-up and organiza tion of material and will rank with any of the small college annuals. The Gleeman theme has been carried out in detail, the staff feeling that the life of these wandering- minstrels was symbolical of our life today , our deeds and our triumphs. Seniors who wish to pay for their Obiters now may do so. The price has been officially placed at $6.50 and by paying the fee now will save considerable time and trouble when the books are received. It will be possible for Seniors to receive a book on presentation of a receipt for the total payment. Undoub tedly there will be confusion in giving out the books and this suggestion should be kept in mind. o NATtON-WIDE TREND EN GUIDANCE OF FUTU RE Talk precedes action. One method of ascertaining trends and predicting the futur e is to discover what people are talking abou t, and particularly what are the subjects upon which they disagree. There are two conflicting trends in the matter of who shall do guidance work. Some people insist that all kinds of guidance , social , et hical , recreational , heal th , civic, etc., as well as educa t i onal and voca t ional , should be given by the same person , and that this person should be the classroom or homeroom teacher. Another group insists that effective work in educational and vocational guidance can be done only by professi onally t rained couns elors , who give their entire time to this work . Two other trends deal with the attempt to make guidance more scientific. There are those who would increase the attention now being given to aptitude tests and cumulative recor ds, permitting vocational guidance to be given only by fully trained co un sel o rs , working on an individual clinical basis. At the same time, others are throwing out elaborate systems of cumulative records and depending more and more upon the giving of information about occupations.—Robei't Hoppock , Field Secretary, National Vocation Guidance Association , New York City. u IN LOVE.
