The eleventh annual spring festival
of the department of Physical Education
will be presented on Friday evening,
March 18, by the students of t h e Department under the supervision of its directors. Miss Maloise Sturdevant Dixon and
Miss Avis E. Edgerton. The festival this
year will comprise random samplings
from the physical education program,
so organized as to indicate the major influences which have contributed to its
present make-up.
The flrst section of the program will
suggest the European influence and our
American reaction to it. The work of
the flrst year students, under the direction of Miss Dixon, will include marching, calisthenic techniques of the bigmuscle type, and clogging. The second
year students, directed by Miss Edgerton, will present a program of challenging stunts, tumbling, and diving feats.
The second part of the program is
made up of dances of many peoples, the
first year students showing three typical
dance forms, Scotch, Russian, and Scandinavian, and the second year students
adding interesting dances from American, Hungarian, Italian, Spanish, and
Swedish folk. Both groups will present
clogs of t h e American Negro type.
P a r t three is devoted to natural and
character dances, with interpretations of
themes from painting, sculpture, poetry
and song. The following numbers have
been arranged for this section of t h e

Lois Stevens, a group of students met on
Tuesday morning, March 1, during the
9:00 to 9:30 period to organize a music
club. This club aims to give students
an opportunity to further their own musical interests by mutual contact with
others who follow musical inclinations.
Although this organization parallels in
many ways the other musical organizations of the college it will not repeat
their activities. Although this group organized with a good number of members,
it is still open for new recruits. The
members plan to hold a meeting at least
once a week. The definite time for the
meeting has not been decided upon yet,
but will be announced later.

Guests of Sophomores
Proclaim Initial Class
Function a Success
An outstanding and delightful dance
was enjoyed last Saturday evening by
the Sophomore Class and their guests at
the fourth annual Sophomore dance in
the gymnasium with the syncopated aid
of Joe Vannucci and his band from Williamsport.
Under a shaded green canopy, past
green and white curtained windows and
cleverly decorated walls, more than 100
couples danced to fine jazz band music
over an exceptionally smooth fioor.
Miss Belle Holaway and Dr. Harry
Weber served as hostess and host for this
gala occasion. Much credit must be
given to the efforts of Miss Lyndall Fox
and t h e decoration committee for the
unique St. Patrick's Day theme of large
white hats, pipes, and shamrocks.
Miss Fox was presented with a bouquet of pale pink Ophelia roses by the
Sophomore class in appreciation for her
help in making this dance a success.

Mabel-Louise Arey entertained the student body in chapel. She recited three
poems, illustrations of three different

Russell Lowell, was of the humorous dialect type. The second, "If," by Kipling,
was a representative of the modern, more

Miss Holaway Speaks
At Vesper Service
In Vesper Service Sunday evening,
March 6, Miss Holaway gave a talk based
on two speeches given by Rabbi Goldenson at t h e Convention for Deans which
Miss Holaway attended. These two
speeches were Justice and Justice in
Economics.
Miss Holaway said that in Rabbi Goldenson's flrst talk justice and the things
necessary to have justice were discussed.
To obtain justice we must have more free
and fresh thinkers who have a sympathetic imagination and who apply their
moral ideas.
There must be justice in economics
as well as in other phases of everyday
life. Miss Holaway gave incidents to
show how warped some peoples ideas of
economic justice are. They buy in the
cheapest markets and then sell in the
dearest markets.
Prior to Miss Holaway's talk Hildagarde Baer sang a solo.

College Purchases Films
On Life of Washington
The College has purchased a movie
reel on "The Life of George Washington" in honor of the two hundredth anniversary of George Washington's birth.
This film depicts the historical events of
Washington's life, and was purchased
not only to be utilized by the students
of this college, but also to be enjoyed
and appreciated by organizations and
school children of Lock Haven and surrounding sections.
This presentation of George Washington's life is one of t h e first movements
in this College to further visual education. The educational organizations of
the United States who compiled this film
have taken only the authentic historical
facts for a basis so as to give the school
child a t r u e conception of the life of "The
Father of Our Country."
The film is divided into four reels, the
first of which, "Conquering the Wilderness," deals with the birth of Washington and his rise to manhood in the colonies. "Uniting the Colonies" in the second reel illustrates Washington's efforts
to unite the colonies in order to protect

An exhibition of oil paintings, selected
from current Summer Exhibition of tht'i

Training School during the next two
weeks. This exhibition has been loaned
to us by the American Federation of
Arts, an organization for the cultivatioii

The display represents many different
subjects and techniques. Those who like

Lock Haven Conquers
Mansfield, Score 26-16
On Friday night the local quintet displayed to advantage the fine playing
technique that they have learned in t h e
nast weeks. By winning in a decisive
t'.ishion from the Mansfleld team, which
had thus far been undefeated by a Teachers College, the Kaiserites avenged the
defeat suffered a number of weeks ago
on t h e Mansfield floor. The game was
delayed d u e to the fact that the referee
who had been engaged was unable to
iippear. Ritter, from downtown, officiated throughout the game.
T h e locals started out with a rush and
were never headed. At the end of the
first half they held an 11-4 lead. It
.seemed a s if the locals had fathomed
t h e Mansfield system of play, for the u p .•jtaters w e r e kept away from the basket
most of the time. Play was quite even
rn the second half with the Kaiserites
still in t h e lead. They seemed quite
adept at freezing the ball. When the
Mansfleld outflt attempted to close up,
one of the local boys would dribble
down t h e floor and cut in to the basket
('or a score.
It is almost a safe thing to say that
f j u l s won the game. Lock Haven made
ten foul tries good to the two which the
visitors caged.
• In the preliminary game, the second
:,rringers swamped the Hope Hose Company 42-15. The J. V.'s, who played at
Williamsport lost to South Williamsport
High School, 31-20.
Between halves o t the Mansfield game

uf the small crowd of spectators. Before the regular game Fry won from

Benson Meets First
Defeat in Season

Foul Shots
What a game! . . . each player had
to be a combination Londos, Dempsey,
Hyatt, and Savoldi . . . It seemed as
though some Junior High youngsters
went on a paper airplane spree or was
it a College Senior and Junior in their
dotage . . . Fights galore! F r y won a
two-round decision over Dillon between
the preliminary and the big game while
goodness only knows who came out
worst in that battle royal staged by the
Junior Hi boys between halves , , . We
do know, however, that McClean outpointed Sims . . . We'll stake our last
dollar that Dr, Coppens enjoyed the game.
It was an ideal setting for the observation of the mob, which more than went
through the entire gamut of emotions as
if on dress parade . . . It strikes the
writer that people still enjoy seeing punishment infiicted as long as the recipient
is someone else. Surely not our college
students? . . . From all indications it
appears that our students really came to
college to get an education; at least during the lulls, text books of all kinds,
shapes, and description were digested
along with Clark bars, Hershey bars,
etc, . . . Faculty row, occupying its
customary place in the front line
trenches, gave more than its moral support to our embattled gladiators . . .
Someone really should fix that scoring
board. Running a piece of chalk over
its surface is just like driving a car over
a corduroy road . . . Spring is here.
At least young man's fancy appears to
be lightly turning to thoughts of love
. . . Couples seem to increase in direct
proportion as to the square of the time
until the next big dance . . . Referee
Ritter was a former basketball coach at
L. H. T. C. about 9 or 10 years ago. He
surely did a nice job of refereeing a
tough game . . . While the Varsity
bowled over Mansfleld and the Junior
Varsity measured Hope Hose for a fall,
the second Junior Varsity took one on
the chin from South Williamsport High
. . . Someone said that Hager lacked
inspiration . . . The big game, a rough
and ready affair, more than repaid u s
for the price of admission. How much
did you say, Sister? No "cents"? Right!
. , . Well I'll be seein' yuh!

From the Archives
In addition to being the third president of the United States and espouser
of the principles of democracy, Thomas
Jefferson was an architect and landscape
painter. He planned and built his home
at Monticello.
Samuel Morse was more than an inventor; he was a great painter. Disappointed because he did not receive the
bid to paint the panel at the White
House, he put his painting aside and
started on his n e w career as an inventor.
While Major Andre, a British spy, was
awaiting execution he showed remarkable self-possession and calmness. Without the aid of a mirror, he made a sketch
of himself seated at a table. This he
presented to an officer of the guard, and
it is still preserved.

Benson's basketball team was defeated
for t h e first time in this tournament, last
Wednesday afternoon by the second year

The relation of t h e individual teacher
to the guidance movement was presented
to the members of the Education Club b y
Mr. AUen D. Patterson, Director of t h e
Junior High School, at the recent meeting of that organization.
Guidance was defined by the speaker
as an integral function of the school,
whose purpose was to transform t h e
school from a n information dispensary
to a social agency interested in and r e sponsible for t h e education of t h e whole
child. Mr. Patterson stressed t h e fact
that guidance was in no sense an effort
to m a k e decisions for the child, either
in the field of vocations, education, o r
character. While guidance requires
trained experts, while many records m a y
be made, yet in t h e last analysis t h e
speaker said t h e child is led to m a k e his
own decisions with t h e help of the school
and the home.
This aim of the guidance movement
makes the individual teacher of utmost
importance. I n daily contacts with t h e
pupils the infiuence of t h e teachers cult u r e and philosophy of life will determine t h e standards b y which t h e children make their decisions. In stressing
these points, Mr. Patterson showed clearly the relationship between teaching and
t h e guidance movement.

EDITORIALS
All students are urged to observe the
exhibition of the famous oil paintings,
loaned to the college by the American
Federation of Art, that are on display in
t h e Training School. This exhibition is
notably one of the best opportunities that
this school offers students to come in contact with well-known paintings first
hand. Personal study of these oil paintings is of unlimited value to t h e teacher
who attempts to do any work in the field
of art appreciation. In addition to b e ing an aid to the person who expects
to make t h e arts t h e basis of his career,
they are of value as illustrations in other
flelds of school activity. It is a wellknown fact that pupils learn better when
material is presented through a number
of channels r a t h e r t h a n through one
alone. Personal study of these pictures
gives one an idea of the possibilities
t h e r e are in presenting subject matter
to pupils by means of visual aids.

How? How? How? I hear a multitude of "hows" to my statement. Here
is how! If the student body had not
shown by action that they were unable
to control themselves, rules and regulations would not be made in the first
place. Specifically speaking, t h e attitude taken upon car riding for girl students. It is probable that this rule was
made because a certain few, before t h e
law became a law, violated their privilege by exercising no judgment as to
with whom they rode, and when they
rode in cars. Because of the few, the
rule affecting t h e entire group was made.
Threfore, when we disregard a suggestion or abuse a privilege, let us r e member that perhaps we, as the offenders will be the cause of a rule being
placed upon t h e group.

When criticizing rules and regulations,
not only in college but also in our own
community, remember that the conduct
of the members in the group either at
