A fitting climax for Homecoming Day was the Varsity Club
dance held Saturday evening in
the Gymnasium. Soft lights, sweet
music, good cheer, and a host of
feminine pulchritude made the evening a cherished memory in the
minds of the alumni and undergraduates. Much credit is due the
Varsity Club for the finesse with
which the program was carried
out.
On entering the gymnasium
guests were greeted by an impressive receiving line composed of Dr.
and Mrs. Armstrong, Mr. Fredericks, Miss Poole, Mr. and Mrs. Bossert, Mr. Parsons accompanied by
Miss Beatrice Kress, and Mr.
James Myers, president of the Varsity Club, accompanied by Miss
Clapper. The eye was also given a
grand reception in scanning the
decorations of the Gym. The
school colors, maroon and grey,
were used to soften the interior of
the room. The dance floor was a
replica of a football field, with
goal posts and yardage markers.
This speciflcally carried out the
club's present interest.
Syncopated rhythm was rendered by the Lyric Orchestra under
the direction of Joe Simon. His interpretations of popular numbers
instilled rhythmic movement into
everyone's shoes, and no phase of
the light fantasy was neglected
during the course of the evening.
Floor Show Unusual
A premier floor show was given
under the direction of that famous
warbler of songs, Mike Haddad.
First on the program was the singing team of Margie Griffith and
BiU Masterson. Their rendition of
"You're All I Need" quickened the
pulses of the audience and brought
thunderous applause to this talented team. Florence Duke exhibited
the possibilities of twinkling toes
in a toe-tap dance number. This
waa followed by an amusing recitation given by Ruth Nichols. The
program reached a new height of
entertainment when Ethel Law
gave her conception of the hit,
"You Are My Lucky Star," and
Harry Callahan presented an original piano composition to the public for the first time. Mike Haddad
closed the program by warbling a
late song hit.
The Varsity Club, mindful of
the comfort of their guests,

PROJECTS UNDER WAY
Our College is taking advantage
of the help that is offered to students by the Federal Govevnment
for Part-Time Employment.
There are approximately twenty
percent (20%) of the students enrolled in the College this year who
are receiving some aid through the
National Youth Administration.
For the flrst period, from September 26 to October 5 inclusive,
there weve eighty-two (82) students given employment. This
number will, of course, vary from
time to time through the year, and
after this month the number will
likely be reduced.
The amount of money allocated
by the Federal Government to the
College for Part-Time Student
Employment is $675.00. The work
done by these students includes:
clerical work, laboratory assistance. College campus improvement, special library work, and
work on community projects. The
Federal assistance can not be
be given to students who work in
the dining room or offlces, or such
work as would have to be done
whether or not the Government
was offering help. A student may
not be placed on the Federal
Pay Roll who could attend College without Government help. In
other words, every student who is
on the pay roll has said that it
would be impossible to remain in
College without this help. The
Government does not promise
to help the student who could
otherwise remain in College, and
the students who are on this pay
roll have stated that they do not
have money with which to pay
their College bills and their parents are not able to finance them
in their College work.
It will thus be seen that a student is not supposed to have this
help who could attend College
without such help. • The government is thus seen to be making an
effort to help students remain in
college.

Editor's Note: Through the
courtesy of Dr. Armstrong the
above material was made available
for publication. Let us extend a
vote of thanks and appreciation to
him for his kind efforts in obtaining this part-time employment for
so many students. Let us cooperate
with him by not taking unfair advantage of opportunities given and
thus depriving those students who
really need the money of their
chance to remain in college.

A.C.E.
Oct. 9, 1935—The "get-to-gether" party of the A.C.E., held on
Wednesday afternoon from 4.00 to
5.30, was well attended by 65
Fveshmen and upperclassmen. The
party was carried out in southern
style, the invitations, pvogvams
and refreshments reflecting the
theme. The president, Belle-Isle
Stoner, introduced the entevtainevs of the day. Ruth Conn, a talented Fveshman, opened the progvam with a southern medley on
the piano. Throughout the playing
one could heav vaguely familiav
phrases of old time songs.
As this ended. Miss Dixon, impersonating a young colored "Topsy" of the south, tapped her way
into our hearts to the accompaniment of Miss Conn's musie. Ouv
one and only Hart Slater, who fovmerly lived down "yonder," told
us in her charming way about life
in the southern states, some supevstitions of the negvoes, and answered questions which the group
asked. Idabelle Wolfe played one
of Stephen Foster's lovely compositions on her harp. The program
closed with the entive gvoup singing such old favovites as "My Old
Kentucky Home," "Old Black
Joe," and "Swanee River."
Unique refreshments, prepared
by Helen Eyerly and her committee, were served. The Association
of Childhood Education is one of
the most active clubs of its kind
on our campus. It deserves commendation for the fine start it has
made this season.
At the last regular meeting the
group was entertained by Miss
Poole, who read poetiy pevtaining
to children and their experiences.
This was the fivst of a series of
fine pvogvams to be given this
year.
fDramatic Club
The Freshman Class was royally
entertained by the Dvamatic Club
at a tea dance given in the gymnasium on Wednesday, September
25, from 3 to 5 o'clock.
The guests, including Miss Genevieve Poole and Mrs. Bossert,
were received by Miss MabelLouise Arey, faculty adviser, Kathryn Caprio, president, and Marian
Harsch, vice pvesident. Madeline
Hettler and Carmilla Folmar
poured, and Dramatic Club membevs acted as hosts.
The tables weve gaily decorated
with mixed bouquets of zinnias and
dahlias. The section of the gymnasium used for the tea was enclosed by the lattice. Nothing fitting the occasion was omitted.
Dancing was the main feature
of the afternoon. The committees
who made possible the success of
the affair were: the Entertainment Committee, John Yon, Chaivman, Jane Movan and Anna Margaret Corson; Refreshment Committee, Clee Howe, chaivman, Leanore Dick and Arlene Dunkle.
The offlcers for this year are:

Customs
"No"
Whether or not freshmen should accept customs of the school has
long been a debated question. Uppev classmen will say that the
classes before have accepted this
cross and why not you. Cannot
these elevated gentlemen see that
custom has held back civilization
and in the same way has held back
new members from entering the
school? First it is an expense; although only small, it takes money
from a move worthy cause, and
often inconveniences the new student.
Second, it embarrasses the new
pupil. It is not necessary to wear
any distinguishing ties or caps to
be recognized. If a student comes
to
college
with
progressive
ideas people will know his name
soon enough without his flaunting
it befove their eyes.
If a student comes to college
with the purpose of gaining an
education, why should his mental
equilibrium be unsettled by a Tribunal enforcing freshman rules?
It makes bad friends rather than
encouraging fellowship. No man
on earth is going to do foolish
deeds without some resentment to
his instvuetovs.
Need I say more? Have I not
pointed out how customs are harmful from a financial, mental, and
physical viewpoint and these completely cover the college student's
life. May we next year succeed in
eliminating customs, and follow in
the footsteps of those large constructive universities who have alveady done so.

EDITOR'S NOTE
We regret that certain events
of impoi-tance in our school calendar should not receive attention in our first issue. This
was solely on account of a lack
of space and these events are
accoi-dingly presented in this
issue. Such items are marked
thus: t-

"Under the owl"—no, not a secret trysting-place—indeed it is
too well frequented for that!
Merely the offlcial headquarters
for reporting scores in the annual
women's fall tennis tournament.
To so familiar an activity little introduction is necessary: even the
freshman novice, we hope, has already learned to "shake hands
with the racquet" in person, as
well as to follow accurately the
routine of scoring, through point,
game, set, and match. Preliminary
instruction, with emphasis on the
method of scoring, was included in
the regular physical education
program for all classes, while the
rudiments of technique were presented at a special meeting for beginners, so that even newcomers
in this sport have only to demonstrate that "practice makes perfect."
The fall tournament at L.H.S.T.
C. combines the "elimination" and
"ladder" forms of tournament
competition, and, as nearly 64
entries have been received, constitutes six rounds, each player advancing as she wins a set from an
opponent of equal or higher rank.

THE QQAL POST
Comment from the Sidelines . . . Here and There with the
Squad . . . Heard in the Huddle
"Vien Sept'
by JACK LIVINGSTON
Congratulations, team: That vic;
tory over Kutztown sent the Maroon and Gray to the top of the
pile. Now we need victories over
Mansfield and Shippensburg to assure us of a state championship—
the first since 1932. We will get
this if our team clicks as they did
against the Keys, and if we have
school spirit—AND DO WE NEED
SCHOOL SPIRIT???
By the way, Mansfield certainly
helped us when they knocked off
the Huskies from Bloomsburg by
the score of 3-0.
Speaking of the Huskies and
Keys, we feel lost without a nickname or mascot. That cat which
Kimble talked about wouldn't be a
match for that dog from Bloomsburg. We will let the team take
care of the match. Just give us a
light as to what the nickname is,
boys.
The guard position seems to be
the opening for some competent
player next year. With Bill McCollum, the transferred student
fvom Penn State, eligible for competition in '36, we ought to have
the partial solution to that problem.
The rumor is that Vic Williams
will be the basketball coach for the
tvaining school youngstevs. If he
makes good, some Class A high
school will probably want to make
a deal.
No matter how important sessions are on the football field, Tom
Conrad is usually the last man to \
report. I wonder if one of Tom's
many female admirers could de-,
tain him.
It might have been funny to
some fans but not to the victim,
himself. Rollie should be pitied for
getting his nose in Kutztown's
path; he is certainly branded as a
"Durante" now.
Johnsonis must have been favoring his toe fov the Varsity Dance
the day that we played Kutztown.
He missed his first placement kick
in eight attempts. But you still
have a fine record, Len.
Inspiration does the trick. Johnnie Goles' superb playing against
the Kutztown Keys was largely
due to "her" presence in the
stands.
I've heard some talk about the
trip to Mansfield. Why not let everyone in on the secret? Maybe we
could get a bus and all go. Talk it
up, fans!
A new game is taking a place in
the sports world at L.H.S.T.C. It
is touch football, that tame impersonation of the old game itself,
which has been drilled into the reluctant freshmen by Coach Bossert. The standing in the intramural touch football league is as
follows:

Looking ahead with the football
coaches. This West Chester team is
enough to worry any coach. They
have lost two games in five starts.
With their victims including Rutgers, Elon, and Baltimore College,
the Chester County lads will need
plenty of watching.
The Shippensburg game should
be a close battle if comparative
scores mean anything. The Tars
defeated Kutztown 20-0, just one
point more than the locals scored.
John Yokemick has again returned to Lapiand. The other night
we saw "Yak" burning the cinders
around the football field.

Gone is the class of 1935, but
not forgotten. On the doors of important rooms are attractive name
plates, the contribution of this
class to our school. No longer need
timid freshmen bolster up enough
courage to ask upper classmen
where are located the various
rooms, nor need they be embarrassed by entering the wrong ones.
All they or any strangers to our
school need do is exercise their
powers of observation a little, and
they will find name plates designating all the prominent rooms.
In all there are seven, each done
in attvactive metal with bronze lettering. Included are plates for the
Bursar, President, Library, Dean
of Instruction, Dean of Men, Dean
of Women, and Post Office.
Fov this valuable contribution to
our school, we owe a vote of
thanks to the class of 1935.

A fitting climax for Homecoming Day was the Varsity Club
dance held Saturday evening in
the Gymnasium. Soft lights, sweet
music, good cheer, and a host of
feminine pulchritude made the evening a cherished memory in the
minds of the alumni and undergraduates. Much credit is due the
Varsity Club for the finesse with
which the program was carried
out.
On entering the gymnasium
guests were greeted by an impressive receiving line composed of Dr.
and Mrs. Armstrong, Mr. Fredericks, Miss Poole, Mr. and Mrs. Bossert, Mr. Parsons accompanied by
Miss Beatrice Kress, and Mr.
James Myers, president of the Varsity Club, accompanied by Miss
Clapper. The eye was also given a
grand reception in scanning the
decorations of the Gym. The
school colors, maroon and grey,
were used to soften the interior of
the room. The dance floor was a
replica of a football field, with
goal posts and yardage markers.
This speciflcally carried out the
club's present interest.
Syncopated rhythm was rendered by the Lyric Orchestra under
the direction of Joe Simon. His interpretations of popular numbers
instilled rhythmic movement into
everyone's shoes, and no phase of
the light fantasy was neglected
during the course of the evening.
Floor Show Unusual
A premier floor show was given
under the direction of that famous
warbler of songs, Mike Haddad.
First on the program was the singing team of Margie Griffith and
BiU Masterson. Their rendition of
"You're All I Need" quickened the
pulses of the audience and brought
thunderous applause to this talented team. Florence Duke exhibited
the possibilities of twinkling toes
in a toe-tap dance number. This
waa followed by an amusing recitation given by Ruth Nichols. The
program reached a new height of
entertainment when Ethel Law
gave her conception of the hit,
"You Are My Lucky Star," and
Harry Callahan presented an original piano composition to the public for the first time. Mike Haddad
closed the program by warbling a
late song hit.
The Varsity Club, mindful of
the comfort of their guests,

PROJECTS UNDER WAY
Our College is taking advantage
of the help that is offered to students by the Federal Govevnment
for Part-Time Employment.
There are approximately twenty
percent (20%) of the students enrolled in the College this year who
are receiving some aid through the
National Youth Administration.
For the flrst period, from September 26 to October 5 inclusive,
there weve eighty-two (82) students given employment. This
number will, of course, vary from
time to time through the year, and
after this month the number will
likely be reduced.
The amount of money allocated
by the Federal Government to the
College for Part-Time Student
Employment is $675.00. The work
done by these students includes:
clerical work, laboratory assistance. College campus improvement, special library work, and
work on community projects. The
Federal assistance can not be
be given to students who work in
the dining room or offlces, or such
work as would have to be done
whether or not the Government
was offering help. A student may
not be placed on the Federal
Pay Roll who could attend College without Government help. In
other words, every student who is
on the pay roll has said that it
would be impossible to remain in
College without this help. The
Government does not promise
to help the student who could
otherwise remain in College, and
the students who are on this pay
roll have stated that they do not
have money with which to pay
their College bills and their parents are not able to finance them
in their College work.
It will thus be seen that a student is not supposed to have this
help who could attend College
without such help. • The government is thus seen to be making an
effort to help students remain in
college.

Editor's Note: Through the
courtesy of Dr. Armstrong the
above material was made available
for publication. Let us extend a
vote of thanks and appreciation to
him for his kind efforts in obtaining this part-time employment for
so many students. Let us cooperate
with him by not taking unfair advantage of opportunities given and
thus depriving those students who
really need the money of their
chance to remain in college.

A.C.E.
Oct. 9, 1935—The "get-to-gether" party of the A.C.E., held on
Wednesday afternoon from 4.00 to
5.30, was well attended by 65
Fveshmen and upperclassmen. The
party was carried out in southern
style, the invitations, pvogvams
and refreshments reflecting the
theme. The president, Belle-Isle
Stoner, introduced the entevtainevs of the day. Ruth Conn, a talented Fveshman, opened the progvam with a southern medley on
the piano. Throughout the playing
one could heav vaguely familiav
phrases of old time songs.
As this ended. Miss Dixon, impersonating a young colored "Topsy" of the south, tapped her way
into our hearts to the accompaniment of Miss Conn's musie. Ouv
one and only Hart Slater, who fovmerly lived down "yonder," told
us in her charming way about life
in the southern states, some supevstitions of the negvoes, and answered questions which the group
asked. Idabelle Wolfe played one
of Stephen Foster's lovely compositions on her harp. The program
closed with the entive gvoup singing such old favovites as "My Old
Kentucky Home," "Old Black
Joe," and "Swanee River."
Unique refreshments, prepared
by Helen Eyerly and her committee, were served. The Association
of Childhood Education is one of
the most active clubs of its kind
on our campus. It deserves commendation for the fine start it has
made this season.
At the last regular meeting the
group was entertained by Miss
Poole, who read poetiy pevtaining
to children and their experiences.
This was the fivst of a series of
fine pvogvams to be given this
year.
fDramatic Club
The Freshman Class was royally
entertained by the Dvamatic Club
at a tea dance given in the gymnasium on Wednesday, September
25, from 3 to 5 o'clock.
The guests, including Miss Genevieve Poole and Mrs. Bossert,
were received by Miss MabelLouise Arey, faculty adviser, Kathryn Caprio, president, and Marian
Harsch, vice pvesident. Madeline
Hettler and Carmilla Folmar
poured, and Dramatic Club membevs acted as hosts.
The tables weve gaily decorated
with mixed bouquets of zinnias and
dahlias. The section of the gymnasium used for the tea was enclosed by the lattice. Nothing fitting the occasion was omitted.
Dancing was the main feature
of the afternoon. The committees
who made possible the success of
the affair were: the Entertainment Committee, John Yon, Chaivman, Jane Movan and Anna Margaret Corson; Refreshment Committee, Clee Howe, chaivman, Leanore Dick and Arlene Dunkle.

Customs
"No"
Whether or not freshmen should accept customs of the school has
long been a debated question. Uppev classmen will say that the
classes before have accepted this
cross and why not you. Cannot
these elevated gentlemen see that
custom has held back civilization
and in the same way has held back
new members from entering the
school? First it is an expense; although only small, it takes money
from a move worthy cause, and
often inconveniences the new student.
Second, it embarrasses the new
pupil. It is not necessary to wear
any distinguishing ties or caps to
be recognized. If a student comes
to
college
with
progressive
ideas people will know his name
soon enough without his flaunting
it befove their eyes.
If a student comes to college
with the purpose of gaining an
education, why should his mental
equilibrium be unsettled by a Tribunal enforcing freshman rules?
It makes bad friends rather than
encouraging fellowship. No man
on earth is going to do foolish
deeds without some resentment to
his instvuetovs.
Need I say more? Have I not
pointed out how customs are harmful from a financial, mental, and
physical viewpoint and these completely cover the college student's
life. May we next year succeed in
eliminating customs, and follow in
the footsteps of those large constructive universities who have alveady done so.

COLLEGE TIMES
EDITOR'S NOTE
We regret that certain events
of impoi-tance in our school calendar should not receive attention in our first issue. This
was solely on account of a lack
of space and these events are
accoi-dingly presented in this
issue. Such items are marked
thus: t-
tTENNIS
"Under the owl"—no, not a secret trysting-place—indeed it is
too well frequented for that!
Merely the offlcial headquarters
for reporting scores in the annual
women's fall tennis tournament.
To so familiar an activity little introduction is necessary: even the
freshman novice, we hope, has already learned to "shake hands
with the racquet" in person, as
well as to follow accurately the
routine of scoring, through point,
game, set, and match. Preliminary
instruction, with emphasis on the
method of scoring, was included in
the regular physical education
program for all classes, while the
rudiments of technique were presented at a special meeting for beginners, so that even newcomers
in this sport have only to demonstrate that "practice makes perfect."
The fall tournament at L.H.S.T.
C. combines the "elimination" and
"ladder" forms of tournament
competition, and, as nearly 64
entries have been received, constitutes six rounds, each player advancing as she wins a set from an
opponent of equal or higher rank.
Losers, however, retain their previous positions, and so have an opportunity to move forward if a future match proves more successfuL
Mary Ellen Ringler, as an advanced player, and Irene Meyer,
Louise Selleck, and Jane Seltzer,
in the beginners' group, are leading in the tournament at the present time. Alice Fredericks and Edna Leinbaeh hold second place in
the advanced group, and Ed:ia
Leinbaeh maintains the record of
having played the highest numbev
of tournament sets.

THE QQAL POST
Comment from the Sidelines . . . Here and There with the
Squad . . . Heard in the Huddle
"Vien Sept'
by JACK LIVINGSTON
Congratulations, team: That vic;
tory over Kutztown sent the Maroon and Gray to the top of the
pile. Now we need victories over
Mansfield and Shippensburg to assure us of a state championship—
the first since 1932. We will get
this if our team clicks as they did
against the Keys, and if we have
school spirit—AND DO WE NEED
SCHOOL SPIRIT???
By the way, Mansfield certainly
helped us when they knocked off
the Huskies from Bloomsburg by
the score of 3-0.
Speaking of the Huskies and
Keys, we feel lost without a nickname or mascot. That cat which
Kimble talked about wouldn't be a
match for that dog from Bloomsburg. We will let the team take
care of the match. Just give us a
light as to what the nickname is,
boys.
The guard position seems to be
the opening for some competent
player next year. With Bill McCollum, the transferred student
fvom Penn State, eligible for competition in '36, we ought to have
the partial solution to that problem.
The rumor is that Vic Williams
will be the basketball coach for the
tvaining school youngstevs. If he
makes good, some Class A high
school will probably want to make
a deal.
No matter how important sessions are on the football field, Tom
Conrad is usually the last man to \
report. I wonder if one of Tom's
many female admirers could de-,
tain him.
It might have been funny to
some fans but not to the victim,
himself. Rollie should be pitied for
getting his nose in Kutztown's
path; he is certainly branded as a
"Durante" now.
Johnsonis must have been favoring his toe fov the Varsity Dance
the day that we played Kutztown.
He missed his first placement kick
in eight attempts. But you still
have a fine record, Len.
Inspiration does the trick. Johnnie Goles' superb playing against
the Kutztown Keys was largely
due to "her" presence in the
stands.
I've heard some talk about the
trip to Mansfield. Why not let everyone in on the secret? Maybe we
could get a bus and all go. Talk it
up, fans!
A new game is taking a place in
the sports world at L.H.S.T.C. It
is touch football, that tame impersonation of the old game itself,
which has been drilled into the reluctant freshmen by Coach Bossert. The standing in the intramural touch football league is as
follows:

Looking ahead with the football
coaches. This West Chester team is
enough to worry any coach. They
have lost two games in five starts.
With their victims including Rutgers, Elon, and Baltimore College,
the Chester County lads will need
plenty of watching.
The Shippensburg game should
be a close battle if comparative
scores mean anything. The Tars
defeated Kutztown 20-0, just one
point more than the locals scored.
John Yokemick has again returned to Lapiand. The other night
we saw "Yak" burning the cinders
around the football field.

to the Vasity Club and assistants

Posterity is Aided by Gifts
of igs.'i Graduating Class
Gone is the class of 1935, but
not forgotten. On the doors of important rooms are attractive name
plates, the contribution of this
class to our school. No longer need
timid freshmen bolster up enough
courage to ask upper classmen
where are located the various
rooms, nor need they be embarrassed by entering the wrong ones.
All they or any strangers to our
school need do is exercise their
powers of observation a little, and
they will find name plates designating all the prominent rooms.
In all there are seven, each done
in attvactive metal with bronze lettering. Included are plates for the
Bursar, President, Library, Dean
of Instruction, Dean of Men, Dean
of Women, and Post Office.
Fov this valuable contribution to
our school, we owe a vote of
thanks to the class of 1935.
