This Way Out
At last the freshmen can speak. For (iays now they
have silently obeyed orders, not daring to voice an opinion.
Now, without fear of punishment they may given vent to
their feelings.
(From a Freshman Boy)
"Wipfe that smile off your face! Get that step clean,
and don't soil my toothbrush! Down on your knees, freshman!" All these commands go in with that period of time
known as customs. Different socks and shoes, signs big
eough to read, little green hats, red bow ties, toothpicks, and
matches are a few of the other characteristics of customs.
Customs are good in some respects. Because of the law
which encourages freshmen to study between 7:30 and 9:30
in the evening, many students will probably form definite
study habits which will serve them in good stead in time
to come. Many friendships will probably be formed between freshmen and other freshmen, freshmen and upperclassmen, and freshmen and members of the faculty. Because of customs we learn to appreciate the extracurricular
activities as well as the more serious part of college life.
There is also that part of customs which is most disagreeable to the students that participate in them. It is
most embarrassing to walk down Bellefonte Avenue with
your pants rolled up, and a sign, which seems as big as a
billboard, hanging on .your back. Since some people are
particular who rides with them in tiisir car, it is rather
difficult to get a ride home in the afternoon when the sun
is out bright as can be so as to bring out all your silly customs. Some people like to be very helpful. They stand on
the corner waiting to pounce on you and tell you nicely that
you might not know it but those two dear socks you are
wearing are as different as day and night.
For the most part I believe there are more good things
about customs than there bad. Won't it be fun in time to
come to think back over these happy and carefree days?
Someday you may say to our great-grandchildren, when
resting in our favorite wheel chair, "See that young fellow
going there with his green hat on and his pants rolled up?
Well, sonny, I looked like that once."
•

(From a Freshman Girl)
Next year at this time we'll be dignified sophomores
and everyone will expect us to "dish out" customs to a new
crowd of L. H. S. T. C. freshmen. It's hard to give an unbiased opinion on how I will feel about customs, then, when
I am looking my ugliest. But since customs are almost over
for me now, I think I can.
I'll never forget the appearance of the freshmen girls
when we appeared for breakfast that first morning. It was
fun and I didn't see a freshman girl buried so deep in embarrassment that she couldn't see the humerous side of the
matter. I think we enjoyed it more than the upperclassmen
di(i because we laughed with—not at—each other. So I will
be in favor of ridiculous dress for as long as it is funny.
And I think that after about a week everyone is tired of
seeing the freshmen walking around looking like refugees
from a scarecrow conference.
One aspect of customs I heartily dislike is doing ridiculous things where everyone can see you. Customs are
a college practice and should be kept inside the dorm. I
never did like to see anyone embarrassed, so I'll confine all
ridiculous things to the inside when I have something to say
about freshman customs.
Hardly deserving mention is the one remaining question, "Do the upperclassmen know when to stop?" I'm a
freshman and I've just gone through the mill, and I know
that only a few people overdo it. But I can take them at
theii* face value and I suppose every freshman that ever
comes along will have to do the sanie thing.
Customs for fun's sake Will be my motto next year at
this time.

THE

And Still *- Customs
By MARION BURKHART
Customs are a necessary evil.
T h e only reason t h a t they are carried is because they are a tradition.
I t must have been a super-moron
t h a t originated initiation for freshmen. Going to college Is a big
•event in a person's life, and taking
t h i s step is terrifying enough In
itself without being subject to tort u r e s for a period of time after you
get there. The idea of customs
evidently is to try to see just how
gruesome the feminie freshmen can
he made to look. It is a very rare
case when a student resembles, even
remotely, a human being, after she
is garbed in her lovely cu.stoms outfit.
The very day that customs

Ot course, all of the eager freshmen
readily volunteer to do these chores,
because what would be more pleasa n t than doing any little odds and

Nightmare?

By LOIS O'NEILL
It seems t h a t every time there Is
any heav yfurniture to be moved
around in the dormitory, a P h y s .
Ed. major is called upon. Evidently
things went too far tor one of them
because she made the statement
that "Phys. Ed. majors were human
too."
One ot our professors was very
pleased with the new nurses t h a t
just moved into the dormitory. He
said that "It w a s good to look a t
some a t t r a c t i v e females for
a
change." It's easy to see t h a t he
has a lot of freshman girls for
classes every day.
A red-headed sailor was at Lock
Haven last week-end visiting a
freshman. She was lucky enough
to be able to discard her costume
a t t i r e for t h e occasion. He must
have had a very vivid description
given to him because he deliberately stayed another day "just to
see how she would look In customs."
We hope t h a t he wasn't too disappointed.
All ot the girls were remarking
about the good sportsmanship of
the Dean. At the Dramatic Club
party she w a s ' - o n e of the most
active participants in bobbing for
apples.
This was not to be quoted, but
when the freshmen were told to
write a two-hundred and fifty word
composition on "customs", one of
the freshmen said t h a t if she wrote
just what she thought, she would
probably have to wear fifty pigtails for the rest of the year a s a
