bvought before them a vivid, dramatic picture of Jim Wilson's trek
acvoss North Central Afvica on a
motovcycfe; 1200 miles of the route
rievcr having been crossed before by
an American. Beginning with the
hiart amiust the uoubts and wonder
ol the crowd, Mr. Wilson described
tne hardships, the adventure, and the
information he and his companion,
Frances Fiood, gained along the trail.
The keynote ot his success being his
smile and his banjo, he and his partner were fed by the natives; theiv
motors were transported across rivers
in native canoes; they were recipients
of beautiful hand-woven blankets and
were royally entertained by an Oxford-graduate native.
At one point in their tvip, the two
adventurers lost the trail, and
late in the afternoon, coming to a rivev over which there was no bridge,
they decided to pitch camp for the
night. After they weve settled for
sleep, Mr. Wilson, heaving native
music, followed the sound to the
source. He became acquainted with
the natives and won their friendship
with his laugh, his banjo, and his
dancing. The next morning the natives transported the motorcycles
acvoss the river in theiv canoe.
Again, the two men were entertained by a native, who, having graduated from Oxford, displayed outwardly his western veneer but in the
privacy of his home retained the customs of his people.
In his inimitable manner. Mr. Wilson dramatized the greeting of the
African. Very surprised, he met a native fiercely shaking his fist in the air

TUESDAY, MARCH 27, 1934
- ^|EDITORIAL}> During the past few years Dramatics has become an activity of ever
increasing importance at Lock Haven.
Partly because of increased student
support, the dramatic progvam has
become one of the most outstanding
extra-curricular activities of the college. Last year the regular scheduled
class and Dvamatic Club plays enabled practically every student in the
college who so desived to participate
in some form of dramatics at least
once during the yeav.
Justification fov the increase in
this type of wovk may be found in the
seveval activities of the organization.
The added poise and ease of manner
which the acting cultivates, the experience in carrying on a dramatic
project which comes with the executive end of play production, the opportunity to work with settings,
make-up, and costuming; and finally,
the added understanding of human
nature which comes with a successful
intevpretition of chavactev—all these
are valuable outcomes for those who
plan to be futuve teachevs. In addition to those taking active part, the
audience, consisting of both townspeople and students, enjoy the opportunity of seeing a few of the current
plays as they are interpreted by college actors. A sympathy and intevest
is often aroused in this fashion for
other college activities.
Dramatic wovk is educational, entertaining, and wholesome. That m
it.self .should be justification enough.

The Playing Snowflakes
Wucks before a vacation draws
near his nights become sleepless with
one haunting idea riding madly,
ceaselessly, up and down his neural
tracts. It sits with him at his desk
and taunts him at his play. "You
shall be forced to leave your histoiy
and stop your wovk in Fvench. You
shall have to depavt from the campus
fov five agonizing days. Finally, th'?
thought becomes reality. The dreaded
day does arvi^^e, and, Isiden with
books, the luckless student reluctantly enters the await'ng family Rolls
and is borne away to his aboriginal
abode. After reaching home and pans,
ing only long enough to implore the
dear mater not to trouble herself by
preparing chicken and waffles for
dinner, he unpacks and eagerly delves
into his textbooks.
He spends all his evenings at home
with the family. He refrains from
"taking" the natives with the current
collegiate "wisecracks." On Easter
morning he rises and, finding the air
a bit chilly, dons his winter apparel in
preference to his new Easter version
of what the well dresced will v/eav.
He attends chuvch for the express
purpose of listening to the sermon
and experiences no inflation of ego
when the populace stages a post sermon prodigal son act for him. He
continues thvough his vacation keeping regular houvs and studying daily.
With a feeling of relief he greets the
final day of vacation, gladly bids the
family farewell, and returns to college overjoyed in settling down for
the final grind. He is the average
college student.

A Vision
Seated in an easy chair, my feet on
a footstool, a book in my lap, I
drooped and drowsed. I seemed to be
walking along Susquehanna Avenue
on my way to the Arbor. Being on the
right hand side of the road, I passed
the powei- plant; then I came to that
neat, homey-looking house tucked
back in the trees, which belongs to
the college. To my surprise I saw
curtains at the windows and lamps
lit in the rooms. I rubbed my eyes,
for it was just yesterday that the
windows had been boarded up and
no signs of life around. The front
door opened and out came a group
of students. Upon inquiring I learned
that the clubs (Dramatic, Naturalist,
Shakespeare, Education and Art)
each had a room in the comfy building. One member kindly offeved to
take me on an inspection tour. I went
with him up the flagstone path. Upon
entering the house, I heard a radio
going, and saw co-eds playing games
in a room which wa., furnished not
unlike a modern pailor. In another
room lined with interesting books,
colkge students weve veading, some
singly, some in gvoups. In the kitchen
candy was being made by other students.
After seeing the club rooms which
were on the second floor, I marveled
for we were in a depression, and how
was such a proejct financed? To my
questions the studerts eagerly exp'ained that, rather than have the
house stand empty, heat and light had
been supplied if they would but furnish the rooms. They had accepted
this offer with alacrity.
The first floor had been taken care
of by the student activity fund, interested alumni, and frienels of the college; the clubs had each furnished
their own special room upstairs.
As we sat in the parlor talking I
happened to glance at a paper and

acvoss North Central Afvica on a
motovcycfe; 1200 miles of the route
rievcr having been crossed before by
an American. Beginning with the
hiart amiust the uoubts and wonder
ol the crowd, Mr. Wilson described
tne hardships, the adventure, and the
information he and his companion,
Frances Fiood, gained along the trail.
The keynote ot his success being his
smile and his banjo, he and his partner were fed by the natives; theiv
motors were transported across rivers
in native canoes; they were recipients
of beautiful hand-woven blankets and
were royally entertained by an Oxford-graduate native.
At one point in their tvip, the two
adventurers lost the trail, and
late in the afternoon, coming to a rivev over which there was no bridge,
they decided to pitch camp for the
night. After they weve settled for
sleep, Mr. Wilson, heaving native
music, followed the sound to the
source. He became acquainted with
the natives and won their friendship
with his laugh, his banjo, and his
dancing. The next morning the natives transported the motorcycles
acvoss the river in theiv canoe.
Again, the two men were entertained by a native, who, having graduated from Oxford, displayed outwardly his western veneer but in the
privacy of his home retained the customs of his people.
In his inimitable manner. Mr. Wilson dramatized the greeting of the
African. Very surprised, he met a native fiercely shaking his fist in the air

- ^|EDITORIAL}> During the past few years Dramatics has become an activity of ever
increasing importance at Lock Haven.
Partly because of increased student
support, the dramatic progvam has
become one of the most outstanding
extra-curricular activities of the college. Last year the regular scheduled
class and Dvamatic Club plays enabled practically every student in the
college who so desived to participate
in some form of dramatics at least
once during the yeav.
Justification fov the increase in
this type of wovk may be found in the
seveval activities of the organization.
The added poise and ease of manner
which the acting cultivates, the experience in carrying on a dramatic
project which comes with the executive end of play production, the opportunity to work with settings,
make-up, and costuming; and finally,
the added understanding of human
nature which comes with a successful
intevpretition of chavactev—all these
are valuable outcomes for those who
plan to be futuve teachevs. In addition to those taking active part, the
audience, consisting of both townspeople and students, enjoy the opportunity of seeing a few of the current
plays as they are interpreted by college actors. A sympathy and intevest
is often aroused in this fashion for
other college activities.
Dramatic wovk is educational, entertaining, and wholesome. That m
it.self .should be justification enough.

The Playing Snowflakes
Wucks before a vacation draws

one haunting idea riding madly,
ceaselessly, up and down his neural
tracts. It sits with him at his desk
and taunts him at his play. "You
shall be forced to leave your histoiy
and stop your wovk in Fvench. You
shall have to depavt from the campus
fov five agonizing days. Finally, th'?
thought becomes reality. The dreaded
day does arvi^^e, and, Isiden with
books, the luckless student reluctantly enters the await'ng family Rolls
and is borne away to his aboriginal
abode. After reaching home and pans,
ing only long enough to implore the
dear mater not to trouble herself by
preparing chicken and waffles for
dinner, he unpacks and eagerly delves
into his textbooks.
He spends all his evenings at home
with the family. He refrains from
"taking" the natives with the current
collegiate "wisecracks." On Easter
morning he rises and, finding the air
a bit chilly, dons his winter apparel in
preference to his new Easter version
of what the well dresced will v/eav.
He attends chuvch for the express
purpose of listening to the sermon
and experiences no inflation of ego
when the populace stages a post sermon prodigal son act for him. He
continues thvough his vacation keeping regular houvs and studying daily.
With a feeling of relief he greets the
final day of vacation, gladly bids the
family farewell, and returns to college overjoyed in settling down for
the final grind. He is the average
college student.

A Vision
Seated in an easy chair, my feet on
a footstool, a book in my lap, I
drooped and drowsed. I seemed to be
walking along Susquehanna Avenue
on my way to the Arbor. Being on the
right hand side of the road, I passed
the powei- plant; then I came to that
neat, homey-looking house tucked
back in the trees, which belongs to
the college. To my surprise I saw
curtains at the windows and lamps
lit in the rooms. I rubbed my eyes,
for it was just yesterday that the
windows had been boarded up and
no signs of life around. The front
door opened and out came a group
of students. Upon inquiring I learned
that the clubs (Dramatic, Naturalist,
Shakespeare, Education and Art)
each had a room in the comfy building. One member kindly offeved to
take me on an inspection tour. I went
with him up the flagstone path. Upon
entering the house, I heard a radio
going, and saw co-eds playing games
in a room which wa., furnished not
unlike a modern pailor. In another
room lined with interesting books,
colkge students weve veading, some
singly, some in gvoups. In the kitchen
candy was being made by other students.
After seeing the club rooms which
were on the second floor, I marveled
for we were in a depression, and how
was such a proejct financed? To my
questions the studerts eagerly exp'ained that, rather than have the
house stand empty, heat and light had
been supplied if they would but furnish the rooms. They had accepted
this offer with alacrity.
The first floor had been taken care
of by the student activity fund, interested alumni, and frienels of the college; the clubs had each furnished
their own special room upstairs.
As we sat in the parlor talking I
happened to glance at a paper and
see the date—November, 1934. A
shavp noise!! I awoke! My geography
book had fallen to the floor and it
was Mavch, 1934. I realized I had
been drowsing and it was all a vision
