With the football season closed, attention is now being given to basketball. Coach Morgan has issued a call
for candidates and daily practices are
being held in the College gymnasium.
It is too early to make any predictions
concerning the prospects as only a
few veterans are back from last
year's team and little is known concerning the new men.
Thirteen sweaters and seven minor
letters were awarded to members of
the Lock Haven Teachers' College
football squad at a banquet in the
College dining hall Friday evening,
when the players, coaches and College
athletic authorities gathered to celebrate a season which was the most
successful in flve years. The dinner
was marked by an atmosphere of confldence, looking toward an even more
au.,picious career for the iy;SO gridiron team.
Dr. Armstrong Speaks.
Welcome word that next season's
football games at home will be played in the new field now under construction along the Lusk run road beyond the College buildings -was
brought by Dr. Dallas W. Armstrong,
President of the College, who declared that the institution is whole-heartedly behind the athletic program and
the boys taking part in it. The present contractor who is grading the new
field has almost completed his task,
meeting the specifications of his contract with prospects of finishing the
work before December 15.
Athletics, said Dr. Armstrong, are
part of character training and are regarded in that light at the Teachers'
College, where the important thing is
not the score the team can run up on
its opponents but the type of playing
that is shown on the field. Dr. Armstrong congratulated the boys on their
attitude and paid a tribute to their
coaches who, he said, are bringing the
boys of the College squad the reflected football traditions of three great
institutions, Purdue, Princeton and
Yale. Raymond C. Morgan, head
coach, is a Purdue man, and his assistants, Donald W. GriflSn and J.
Wynn Fredericks, are alumni respectively of Princeton and Yale.
Bright Future Prospects.
The toastmaster for the evening's
progi-am, following the sumptuous
banquet prepared by the domestic
staff of the College, was Mr. Griffin,
who called upon Rev. J. Merrill Wil-
One thing is certain, Coach Morgan will do his best to have a fighting
team on the floor to represent Teachers'
College. Lack of good reserve
material has always handicapped the

far as can be seen now, is no exception. Up to the present time there

FIRST STUDENT CONFERENCE
IS HELD AT BLOOMSBURG
The flrst student conference called for the purpose of discussing campus problems and composed of delegates from all the Teachers' Colleges
of the State, met at Bloomsburg on
November 25, 26 and 27th. Our delegates, Samuel Long and Alice Read,
brought back very interesting reports
which they presented in chapel Wednesday, December 4.
According to Miss Read, Bloomsburg acted as an excellent host to the
guests. Dr. Robert M. Steele, of
California State Teachers' College,
was the only faculty member present
at any of the meetings. Although the
report has not been written fully, the
main topic was Student Government.
Its general scheme, functions and effectiveness, and problems were discussed. Lock Haven ranks high, Miss
Read stated, in its Government Association.
Mr. Long concluded the report with
a brief mention of the social and
house regulation. It is gratifying, he
stated, to know that the students at
our College have so much freedom. A
committee was selected to make a digest of the constitutions and to draw
up a set of resolutions. These are to

be sent to each school at which time

INCREASE IN ATTENDANCE
SHOWN AT SUNDAY VESPERS
There are three sides to a man's nature, physical, mental and spiritual.
At our College there are two methods of feeding a person's spiritual nature, vespers and Y. W. and Y. M. C.
A. From the Sunday vesper attendance it is easily seen that many of
the students are neglecting this important phase of life. Last Sunday
there were about sixty-five at vespers.

His parables. The beautiful coloring
and the outstanding formation of the
people and scenes portrayed, made it

and
enjoyable.
Grace Bridenstein announced the title
of each picture and sometimes gave a
little explanation. The students like
this kind of a service and will be glad
to witness more in the future.
Since we have established another
new record let us keep it up and continue increasing our vesper attendance until we have the ma.jority of
students out. Remember next Sunday

MUSICAL ARTISTS PRESENT
TALES OF HOFFMAN HERE
The first number of the Musical
Artists' Course brought to L. H. T. C.
the Boston Male Choir presenting the
Tales of Hoffman on the evening of
Thursday, November 21. This opera
under the direction of Demeter Zachoreff was given by the members of
the Choir with the assistance of several soloists and was presented in
costume, which added to the interest
of the performance.
The story of the opera is told thru
the prologue which introduces the
chorus with a scene showing Hoffman
among his friends merry-making at
a tavern in Nuremberg.
Hoffman
among his friends is a favorite. He
tells the story of his three love affairs
shown in actual performance in the
three acts of the opera.
The first
tells of the time when the young man
fell in love with a mechanical doll
whom he believed to be a very beautiful human girl; the second act
glows with a love tale in Venice
where an enchanting woman gets
Hoffman under the spell of her
charms and then elopes with another
lover; the third act portrays the tragedy of young Antonia, a singer who
is a victim of consumption, and who
through an evil influence literally
sang herself to death. The epilogue
of the opera brings back the scene in
the tavern when Hoffman declares his
disillusionment and announces that
Art is the only faithful mistress.
The program was finely presented;
the work of artists increased the
pleasure which always comes from the
beautiful musie of the opera. The
Boston Male Choir was not new to the
audience for they presented a musical prograni in connection with the
artists' course of last year. The type
of program given Thursday evening
was different from any presented before by them but it entirely fulfllled
the reputation of the Choir for a wonderfully delightful evening of flne
music.
YULETIDE SHOPPING
As I wandered around the town I saw
Shop windows full of brightly painted toys
And wreaths of holly and poinsetta.
Vari-colored tiny lights peeped thru
some laurel branches,
Everywhere the crowds surged back

All jolly and brimful of the happiest
secrets.
It's great to mingle with the Christmas throngs
And to buy your tags and gay gift
paper,
To feel the cheerful spirit
Of the Christmas shopping crowds.

Next year's schedule will include
most of these teams, the season opening with the Susquehanna game and
closing with the Clarion contest. Four
games will be played at home, including the season's opener and the battles with Mansfield, Shippensburg and
Bloomsburg.
Inexperienced
Players.
The season just ended was a training period for a number of inexperienced lads who will be well-tried veterans when the next chapter of T. C.
football history begins. Poust, for
instance, who did all the punting during the past season, had never played football before this year, but his
work at end was a consistently good
performance. MeCall, capable guard
who had his first chance in the second
game on the schedule against Mansfield, had never seen a football before
this fall. Malone, the fastest lad on
the team who ranked next to Hart in
the amount of territory gained during
the season, was out for the team part
of last season but his performance
this fall made him a star. Rice, an
able tackle and end, is another boy
with limited experience who has done
good work since joining the College
squad.
The hold-overs from last year included Sundberg and several former
Lock Haven High School players who
have contributed heavily to the general performance of the College eleven. Parsons and Robb are former
High School players who were on the
College team last season as well as
this. The newer contingent from the
High School training ground includes
Achenbach, Hatter, Hank Smith, Bossert and Dick Smith, though the latter lasted only part of the season,
going- out with an injury before the
schedule was flnished. Hart is another lad who got his preliminary training on the High School diamond. He
played with Jersey Shore High School
before entering the College.
The Coacliag Force.
Raymond C. Morgan, coach of the
Teachers' College eleven, came here
from Susquehanna, after a playing
and coaching career of considerable
length. He is a graduate of Purdue
University, this year's champion of
the western Big Ten. Seemingly the
triumphant tactics of his Alma Mater
are what he is endeavoring to inculcate in his charges of the Maroon and
Gray.

season, especially during the home
games and President Dallas W. Armstrong has been sympathetic and helpful in encouraging the members of
the football squad to their best efforts.
The success of the past season has
already attracted the attention of a
number of young football players who
are planning to enroll at the local
College next year. The opinion of
those interested in the progress of
the gridiron sport at T. C. is that the
past season has put the College "over
the hump" and that the future holds
better prospects than ever before.
SANTA TO ARRIVE AT T.C.
THURSDAY EVENING IN GYM
Fun, Food and Frolic! This is the
order for Thursday evening, December 19. At 8:00 P. M. in the auditorium, a play and the singing of carols
start the fun. Following this come
games and dancing in the gymnasium.
By 9:30 Santa will be with us. An
advance message by radio tells us
that in order to ascend high enough
to cross the mountains it will be necessary for him to lighten his baggage
by dropping overboard his toys for
the folks of Lock Haven State Teachers' College.
The students and faculty of the
College will replenish Santa's pack by
each bringing a ten cent present for
the gift box. These presents will be
requested for admission to the gymnasium. After Santa has distributed
the gifts and treats, the remainder of
the evening will be spent in dancing.
The College orchestra and the radiola
will furnish the music. Come for one
grand get-to-gether party before vacation.
The increased enrollment this year
makes the regular Christmas Dinner
Party an impossibility. The above
program is being substituted for it.
EXCHANGES
Among our exchanges are college
papers from Minnesota,
Indiana,
Illinois and even from Texas. The
Northwest Viking from Washington
State Normal School, Bellingham,
Washington, is one of the interesting
and evidently progressive publications
that we read. From Cullowhee, N. C.
comes the Cullowhee Yodel. We like
its school news and its jokes. The
Collegian from Fresno State College,
California, is full of sport news that
keeps us wide awake and interested.

With the football season closed, attention is now being given to basketball. Coach Morgan has issued a call
for candidates and daily practices are
being held in the College gymnasium.
It is too early to make any predictions
concerning the prospects as only a
few veterans are back from last
year's team and little is known concerning the new men.
Thirteen sweaters and seven minor
letters were awarded to members of
the Lock Haven Teachers' College
football squad at a banquet in the
College dining hall Friday evening,
when the players, coaches and College
athletic authorities gathered to celebrate a season which was the most
successful in flve years. The dinner
was marked by an atmosphere of confldence, looking toward an even more
au.,picious career for the iy;SO gridiron team.
Dr. Armstrong Speaks.
Welcome word that next season's
football games at home will be played in the new field now under construction along the Lusk run road beyond the College buildings -was
brought by Dr. Dallas W. Armstrong,
President of the College, who declared that the institution is whole-heartedly behind the athletic program and
the boys taking part in it. The present contractor who is grading the new
field has almost completed his task,
meeting the specifications of his contract with prospects of finishing the
work before December 15.
Athletics, said Dr. Armstrong, are
part of character training and are regarded in that light at the Teachers'
College, where the important thing is
not the score the team can run up on
its opponents but the type of playing
that is shown on the field. Dr. Armstrong congratulated the boys on their
attitude and paid a tribute to their
coaches who, he said, are bringing the
boys of the College squad the reflected football traditions of three great
institutions, Purdue, Princeton and
Yale. Raymond C. Morgan, head
coach, is a Purdue man, and his assistants, Donald W. GriflSn and J.
Wynn Fredericks, are alumni respectively of Princeton and Yale.
Bright Future Prospects.
The toastmaster for the evening's
progi-am, following the sumptuous
banquet prepared by the domestic
staff of the College, was Mr. Griffin,

One thing is certain, Coach Morgan will do his best to have a fighting

FIRST STUDENT CONFERENCE
IS HELD AT BLOOMSBURG
The flrst student conference called for the purpose of discussing campus problems and composed of delegates from all the Teachers' Colleges
of the State, met at Bloomsburg on
November 25, 26 and 27th. Our delegates, Samuel Long and Alice Read,
brought back very interesting reports
which they presented in chapel Wednesday, December 4.
According to Miss Read, Bloomsburg acted as an excellent host to the
guests. Dr. Robert M. Steele, of
California State Teachers' College,
was the only faculty member present
at any of the meetings. Although the
report has not been written fully, the
main topic was Student Government.
Its general scheme, functions and effectiveness, and problems were discussed. Lock Haven ranks high, Miss
Read stated, in its Government Association.
Mr. Long concluded the report with
a brief mention of the social and
house regulation. It is gratifying, he
stated, to know that the students at
our College have so much freedom. A
committee was selected to make a digest of the constitutions and to draw
up a set of resolutions. These are to
a full account of the conference will
be sent to each school at which time

INCREASE IN ATTENDANCE
SHOWN AT SUNDAY VESPERS
There are three sides to a man's nature, physical, mental and spiritual.
At our College there are two methods of feeding a person's spiritual nature, vespers and Y. W. and Y. M. C.
A. From the Sunday vesper attendance it is easily seen that many of
the students are neglecting this important phase of life. Last Sunday
there were about sixty-five at vespers.

His parables. The beautiful coloring
and the outstanding formation of the

and
enjoyable.
Grace Bridenstein announced the title
of each picture and sometimes gave a
little explanation. The students like
this kind of a service and will be glad
to witness more in the future.
Since we have established another
new record let us keep it up and continue increasing our vesper attendance until we have the ma.jority of
students out. Remember next Sunday

MUSICAL ARTISTS PRESENT
TALES OF HOFFMAN HERE
The first number of the Musical
Artists' Course brought to L. H. T. C.
the Boston Male Choir presenting the
Tales of Hoffman on the evening of
Thursday, November 21. This opera
under the direction of Demeter Zachoreff was given by the members of
the Choir with the assistance of several soloists and was presented in
costume, which added to the interest
of the performance.
The story of the opera is told thru
the prologue which introduces the
chorus with a scene showing Hoffman
among his friends merry-making at
a tavern in Nuremberg.
Hoffman
among his friends is a favorite. He
tells the story of his three love affairs
shown in actual performance in the
three acts of the opera.
The first
tells of the time when the young man
fell in love with a mechanical doll
whom he believed to be a very beautiful human girl; the second act
glows with a love tale in Venice
where an enchanting woman gets
Hoffman under the spell of her
charms and then elopes with another
lover; the third act portrays the tragedy of young Antonia, a singer who
is a victim of consumption, and who
through an evil influence literally
sang herself to death. The epilogue
of the opera brings back the scene in
the tavern when Hoffman declares his
disillusionment and announces that
Art is the only faithful mistress.
The program was finely presented;
the work of artists increased the
pleasure which always comes from the
beautiful musie of the opera. The
Boston Male Choir was not new to the
audience for they presented a musical prograni in connection with the
artists' course of last year. The type
of program given Thursday evening
was different from any presented before by them but it entirely fulfllled
the reputation of the Choir for a wonderfully delightful evening of flne
music.
YULETIDE SHOPPING

Shop windows full of brightly painted toys
And wreaths of holly and poinsetta.
Vari-colored tiny lights peeped thru

Everywhere the crowds surged back

secrets.
It's great to mingle with the Christmas throngs
And to buy your tags and gay gift
paper,
To feel the cheerful spirit
Of the Christmas shopping crowds.

closing with the Clarion contest. Four
games will be played at home, including the season's opener and the battles with Mansfield, Shippensburg and
Bloomsburg.
Inexperienced
Players.
The season just ended was a training period for a number of inexperienced lads who will be well-tried veterans when the next chapter of T. C.
football history begins. Poust, for
instance, who did all the punting during the past season, had never played football before this year, but his
work at end was a consistently good
performance. MeCall, capable guard
who had his first chance in the second
game on the schedule against Mansfield, had never seen a football before
this fall. Malone, the fastest lad on
the team who ranked next to Hart in
the amount of territory gained during
the season, was out for the team part
of last season but his performance
this fall made him a star. Rice, an
able tackle and end, is another boy
with limited experience who has done
good work since joining the College
squad.
The hold-overs from last year included Sundberg and several former
Lock Haven High School players who
have contributed heavily to the general performance of the College eleven. Parsons and Robb are former
High School players who were on the
College team last season as well as
this. The newer contingent from the
High School training ground includes
Achenbach, Hatter, Hank Smith, Bossert and Dick Smith, though the latter lasted only part of the season,
going- out with an injury before the
schedule was flnished. Hart is another lad who got his preliminary training on the High School diamond. He
played with Jersey Shore High School
before entering the College.
The Coacliag Force.
Raymond C. Morgan, coach of the
Teachers' College eleven, came here
from Susquehanna, after a playing
and coaching career of considerable
length. He is a graduate of Purdue
University, this year's champion of
the western Big Ten. Seemingly the
triumphant tactics of his Alma Mater
are what he is endeavoring to inculcate in his charges of the Maroon and
Gray.
Faculty Manager C. M. Sullivan
has been active in the labors of the
season, especially during the home
games and President Dallas W. Armstrong has been sympathetic and helpful in encouraging the members of
the football squad to their best efforts.
The success of the past season has
already attracted the attention of a
number of young football players who
are planning to enroll at the local
College next year. The opinion of
those interested in the progress of
the gridiron sport at T. C. is that the
past season has put the College "over
the hump" and that the future holds
better prospects than ever before.
SANTA TO ARRIVE AT T.C.
THURSDAY EVENING IN GYM
Fun, Food and Frolic! This is the
order for Thursday evening, December 19. At 8:00 P. M. in the auditorium, a play and the singing of carols
start the fun. Following this come
games and dancing in the gymnasium.
By 9:30 Santa will be with us. An
advance message by radio tells us
that in order to ascend high enough
to cross the mountains it will be necessary for him to lighten his baggage
by dropping overboard his toys for
the folks of Lock Haven State Teachers' College.
The students and faculty of the
College will replenish Santa's pack by
each bringing a ten cent present for
the gift box. These presents will be
requested for admission to the gymnasium. After Santa has distributed
the gifts and treats, the remainder of
the evening will be spent in dancing.
The College orchestra and the radiola
will furnish the music. Come for one
grand get-to-gether party before vacation.
The increased enrollment this year
makes the regular Christmas Dinner
Party an impossibility. The above
program is being substituted for it.
EXCHANGES
Among our exchanges are college
papers from Minnesota,
Indiana,
Illinois and even from Texas. The
Northwest Viking from Washington
State Normal School, Bellingham,
Washington, is one of the interesting
and evidently progressive publications
that we read. From Cullowhee, N. C.
comes the Cullowhee Yodel. We like
its school news and its jokes. The
Collegian from Fresno State College,
California, is full of sport news that
keeps us wide awake and interested.
