WAS SEVERE SHOCK TO ALL
BURIED AT HENDERSONVILLE
Mrs. Mary Griftin Armstrong, wife
of the President of ' ur College, Dr.
Dallas W. Armstrong, died very suddenly on Saturday evening, October
5, at her home, 410 North Fairview
Street, Lock Haven. Mrs. Armstrong
had never been very strong since the
death of her son, Angus Armstrong,
who was killed during the World War
while he was serving as a lieutenant
in a United States Motor Transport
C(nnpany, but her health seemed to
be quite as usual until Saturday
niorning when a heart attack caused
a day's illness which proved fatal.
Mrs. Armstrong was born in Mercer County, Pennsylvania. She has
lived here in Lock Haven since the
time that Dr. Armstrong became
President of the College, about four
years. She was a member of the
Eastern Star, the Trinity Methodist
Church, and of the Trinity Methodist
Sunday School where she taught a
class of adults.
She is survived by her husband, a
son, Frank, and three daughters,
Elizabeth, Margaret and Katherine,
of whom Margaret is at present a
student of the College; also by three
brothers and four sisters: Alfred, of
California; Frank, residing in FloriThe Students
da; Edward and Mrs. John Stunp, of
Akron, Ohio; Mrs. Rena Baker, living
of the College Wish to
in Colorado; Mrs. Alton Kennedy, of
Stonesboro, Penna., and Miss KathExtend Their

k MESSAGE TO DR. ARMSTRONG AND FAMILY
The funeral services for Mrs. Dallas W. Armstrong were held at the
Armstrong home on Fairview Street,
on Tuesday afternoon, October 8, at
o:00 o'clock. Reverend J. Merrill
Williams officiated at the simple but
very impressive rites. The services
opened with the quoting of the hymn,
"How" Firm a Foundation," followed
by a prayer. The only music was a
beautifully appropriate solo sung by
Miss Whitwell, "The City Foursquare." In the short sermon following this, Reverend Williams applied
to the Armstrong family those characteristics which the family pastor of
the Coolidges attributed to them at
the time of the death of their son—
sincerity, bravery, unselfishness, putting the first things first, the spiritual
before the material, and faithfulness.
He continued with a brief review of
the life of Mrs. Armstrong, her fine
character and ideals. He spoke of
her role as wife and mother, of the
beautiful home life which centered
around her personality. Mentioning
her church work, he told of her Christian ideals, of her interest in the
Sunday School work and in the activities of the ladies' societies in the
church, in which she took a very active part. Mrs. Armstrong always
showed a genuine interest in educational work, particularly in the activities of the college of which her husband is the president. Her life was
one of unselfish service and worthwhile interests from beginning to
end.
The niembers of the Faculty of the
State Teachers College have united
in this expression of their own sorrow and their sympathy to you in
your bereavement:
In the death of Mrs. .Armstrong
v/e experience a deep personal grief;
and we shall cherish always the most
fragrant memories of the charm and
unselfishness, the thoughtful provision for our comfort, and the loving
interest in our welfare which made
our relationship with her s6 unfailing
a delight.
The floral tributes with which the
casket was banked, gave, by their
beauty and profusion, striking evidence of the numberless friendships
and great respect whieh the character of Mrs. Armstrong inspired in all
who came in contact with her.
Among those present at these
touching services were several trus-

met Monday afternoon at 5:30.
In a battle that was stubbornly
contested by Teachers College and
Dickinson Seminary, the locals lost
when their defense fell apart during
the final quarter. During this quarter Dickinson Seminary hammered
tho Maroon and Gray line, skirted the
ends, and finally pushed over a touch
down when Givens, who was a shining
light all through the game for Dickin.son, went around his left end for
twenty yards for the score. The extra
point was missed by the same jilayer.
Soon after Dickinson kicked off, and
here occurred the break that ruined
the locals' chances for a score and a
possible win. The kick-off was poor
but what hurt most was that Dickinson recovered the ball after it had
been fumbled by one of the Maroon
and Gray players. Dickinson began
another offensive drive that ended
when McClintock skirted his right
end for the score. The extra point
was added a moment later when Givens booted the ball squarely between
the uprights.

aerial attack that featured Renninger
at the throwing end and Poust and
Hatter at the receiving end. The ball
was brought to the Dickinson twenty
' yard line and there the offensive was
broken, when, on the next play, a
pass was intercepted. The game ended soon after, the final score being
13-0 in favor of Dickinson Seminary.
The game opened with the locals
receiving the kickoff. They immediately began an oifensive with Cowfer and Hart doing the most effective
ball carrying. The ball was brought
to Dickinson's fifteen yard line only
to be lost on downs. After Givens
punted out of danger, the locals again
began to march up the field only to
be stopped again. Later in the same
quarter another march was started by
the locals which ended when Dickinson took the ball near their twenty
yard line. During the second quarter
the locals more than held their own
and clearly outfought Dickinson. The
first half ended without a score for
either side.
The first jiart of the third quarter
was a punting duel with Givens outJiunting Bardo by a good margin.
Bardo seemed to be handicapped
greatly in his punting by a bad, leg

WAS SEVERE SHOCK TO ALL
BURIED AT HENDERSONVILLE
Mrs. Mary Griftin Armstrong, wife
of the President of ' ur College, Dr.
Dallas W. Armstrong, died very suddenly on Saturday evening, October
5, at her home, 410 North Fairview
Street, Lock Haven. Mrs. Armstrong
had never been very strong since the
death of her son, Angus Armstrong,
who was killed during the World War
while he was serving as a lieutenant
in a United States Motor Transport
C(nnpany, but her health seemed to
be quite as usual until Saturday
niorning when a heart attack caused
a day's illness which proved fatal.
Mrs. Armstrong was born in Mercer County, Pennsylvania. She has
lived here in Lock Haven since the
time that Dr. Armstrong became
President of the College, about four
years. She was a member of the
Eastern Star, the Trinity Methodist
Church, and of the Trinity Methodist
Sunday School where she taught a
class of adults.
She is survived by her husband, a
son, Frank, and three daughters,
Elizabeth, Margaret and Katherine,
of whom Margaret is at present a
student of the College; also by three
brothers and four sisters: Alfred, of
California; Frank, residing in FloriThe Students

k MESSAGE TO DR. ARMSTRONG AND FAMILY
The funeral services for Mrs. Dallas W. Armstrong were held at the
Armstrong home on Fairview Street,
on Tuesday afternoon, October 8, at
o:00 o'clock. Reverend J. Merrill
Williams officiated at the simple but
very impressive rites. The services
opened with the quoting of the hymn,
"How" Firm a Foundation," followed
by a prayer. The only music was a
beautifully appropriate solo sung by
Miss Whitwell, "The City Foursquare." In the short sermon following this, Reverend Williams applied
to the Armstrong family those characteristics which the family pastor of
the Coolidges attributed to them at
the time of the death of their son—
sincerity, bravery, unselfishness, putting the first things first, the spiritual
before the material, and faithfulness.
He continued with a brief review of
the life of Mrs. Armstrong, her fine
character and ideals. He spoke of
her role as wife and mother, of the
beautiful home life which centered
around her personality. Mentioning
her church work, he told of her Christian ideals, of her interest in the
Sunday School work and in the activities of the ladies' societies in the
church, in which she took a very active part. Mrs. Armstrong always
showed a genuine interest in educational work, particularly in the activities of the college of which her husband is the president. Her life was
one of unselfish service and worthwhile interests from beginning to
end.
The niembers of the Faculty of the
State Teachers College have united
in this expression of their own sorrow and their sympathy to you in
your bereavement:
In the death of Mrs. .Armstrong
v/e experience a deep personal grief;
and we shall cherish always the most
fragrant memories of the charm and
unselfishness, the thoughtful provision for our comfort, and the loving
interest in our welfare which made
our relationship with her s6 unfailing
a delight.
The floral tributes with which the
casket was banked, gave, by their
beauty and profusion, striking evidence of the numberless friendships
and great respect whieh the character of Mrs. Armstrong inspired in all
who came in contact with her.
Among those present at these
touching services were several trus-

met Monday afternoon at 5:30.
In a battle that was stubbornly
contested by Teachers College and
Dickinson Seminary, the locals lost
when their defense fell apart during
the final quarter. During this quarter Dickinson Seminary hammered
tho Maroon and Gray line, skirted the
ends, and finally pushed over a touch
down when Givens, who was a shining
light all through the game for Dickin.son, went around his left end for
twenty yards for the score. The extra
point was missed by the same jilayer.
Soon after Dickinson kicked off, and
here occurred the break that ruined
the locals' chances for a score and a
possible win. The kick-off was poor
but what hurt most was that Dickinson recovered the ball after it had
been fumbled by one of the Maroon
and Gray players. Dickinson began
another offensive drive that ended
when McClintock skirted his right
end for the score. The extra point
was added a moment later when Givens booted the ball squarely between
the uprights.

aerial attack that featured Renninger
at the throwing end and Poust and
Hatter at the receiving end. The ball
was brought to the Dickinson twenty
' yard line and there the offensive was
broken, when, on the next play, a
pass was intercepted. The game ended soon after, the final score being
13-0 in favor of Dickinson Seminary.
The game opened with the locals
receiving the kickoff. They immediately began an oifensive with Cowfer and Hart doing the most effective
ball carrying. The ball was brought
to Dickinson's fifteen yard line only
to be lost on downs. After Givens
punted out of danger, the locals again
began to march up the field only to
be stopped again. Later in the same
quarter another march was started by
the locals which ended when Dickinson took the ball near their twenty
yard line. During the second quarter
the locals more than held their own
and clearly outfought Dickinson. The
first half ended without a score for
either side.
The first jiart of the third quarter
was a punting duel with Givens outJiunting Bardo by a good margin.
Bardo seemed to be handicapped
greatly in his punting by a bad, leg
