Dear friends, in all it's plain to
see that little Willie intends to be a
regular columnist in this place provided the Times shells out the space.
A few weeks ago I told you all how I
saw the swell statues in the hall. This
week in this column it will be read
how little Willie went to bed. After
those dames had knocked me flat I
climbs to my feet and I straightens
my hat and I grabs my bags and I
climbs the stairs and I starts in praying wee little prayers that the dames
who inhabit this place are not like
those girls who walked on my face.
Finally I reaches the toppermost floor
and stops to inquire at the very first
door of a teeny wee miss, quite
strange to see, where room labeled
371 might be. The little girl set her
face in a look quite grim—sez she, my
good man, your room's in the gym. In

what being roomed in the gym makes
me. Oh my, but you're dumb, said
the miniature lass. That room puts
you in the gym class. I swallowed this
crack without a squeak—to me this
line resembled Greek. I picked up my
bags and I starts down the hall and
bumps into ladies both short and tall
and my heart welled up till it touched
my hat—wait until I run around with
a bunch of combs adorning my head.
And down the hall like a shot I sped.
I went around the stairs and I came
to my room—goodness what a horrible place of gloom. There were no
lights in this funny place, only great
big stretch of deep dark space. I
poked around till I bumped my head,
but I couldn't stem to locate the bed.

DON T FORGET THE KID PARTY
EDITORIALS
The courteous and helpful assistance of the business men of Lock Haven in cooperating with the various
organizations of the college reflects
the interest of the community in helping the school. Not o-ily have the
members of the Kiwanis Club shown
their interest in our athletic organization by entertaining the football men
at their meetings but they have also
aided our dramatic productions by the
loan of furniture and what is probably of greatest benefit to us, they
have sponsored our annual magazine
by buying advertising space in the
directory.
The school directory is the Praeco
staff's method of soliciting town financial aid for the yearbook. The value
of the directory as a means of finding
information quickly is well known to
all those upper-classmen who have
had occasion to use it. And the value
of the Praeco need not be stressed
here.
Since the business men have given
us their support in the matter of
directory anti Praeco publication, it is
our duty to see that they are fully rewarded for this assistance. Read the
directory when it comes out and be
sure to note the best dress shop, shoe
store, and druggist. See that you patronize those who patronize you. Back
your backers.

Miss Belle Holaway Attends
Conference Held at Detroit
( C o n t i n u e d from i>:ig'e 1)
Dr. Tead spoke on "Creative Leadership." In his talk he offered two
suggestions as remedies for the educational system of today; first, there
should be an increase in the salary of
the teaching world, so that this profession would attract the highest
types of individuals; second, the
teachers should "see the world and
confront reality before they attempt
instruction."
On Saturday, February 21, the
deans in attendance at the convention
were guests of the Univer-sity of
Michigan, at Ann Arbor. Following a
luncheon at the Girls' League Building, the group visited the campus and
dormitories of the University.
Miss Holaway attended also the
convention of the National Education
Association. At the Monday evening
meeting, Rear-Admiral Richard E.
Byrd gave an interesting talk on the
subject "Conquering the Antarctic by
Air." Admiral Byrd was presented
with ten volumes of letters written
by the children of the United States.
These letters represented a project of
the National Education Association.
Another outstanding feature of the
convention was a concert by the National High School Chorus composed
of boys and girls from every state.
This chorus was led by Hollis Dann,
of New York University.

A few weeks ago I told you all how I

climbs the stairs and I starts in praying wee little prayers that the dames
who inhabit this place are not like
those girls who walked on my face.
Finally I reaches the toppermost floor
and stops to inquire at the very first

strange to see, where room labeled

face in a look quite grim—sez she, my

bumps into ladies both short and tall
and my heart welled up till it touched

DON T FORGET THE KID PARTY
EDITORIALS
The courteous and helpful assistance of the business men of Lock Haven in cooperating with the various
organizations of the college reflects
the interest of the community in helping the school. Not o-ily have the
members of the Kiwanis Club shown
their interest in our athletic organization by entertaining the football men
at their meetings but they have also
aided our dramatic productions by the
loan of furniture and what is probably of greatest benefit to us, they
have sponsored our annual magazine
by buying advertising space in the
directory.
The school directory is the Praeco
staff's method of soliciting town financial aid for the yearbook. The value
of the directory as a means of finding
information quickly is well known to
all those upper-classmen who have
had occasion to use it. And the value
of the Praeco need not be stressed
here.
Since the business men have given
us their support in the matter of
directory anti Praeco publication, it is
our duty to see that they are fully rewarded for this assistance. Read the
directory when it comes out and be
sure to note the best dress shop, shoe
store, and druggist. See that you patronize those who patronize you. Back
your backers.

Miss Belle Holaway Attends
Conference Held at Detroit
( C o n t i n u e d from i>:ig'e 1)
Dr. Tead spoke on "Creative Leadership." In his talk he offered two
suggestions as remedies for the educational system of today; first, there
should be an increase in the salary of
the teaching world, so that this profession would attract the highest
types of individuals; second, the
teachers should "see the world and
confront reality before they attempt
instruction."
On Saturday, February 21, the
deans in attendance at the convention
were guests of the Univer-sity of
Michigan, at Ann Arbor. Following a
luncheon at the Girls' League Building, the group visited the campus and
dormitories of the University.
Miss Holaway attended also the
convention of the National Education
Association. At the Monday evening
meeting, Rear-Admiral Richard E.
Byrd gave an interesting talk on the
subject "Conquering the Antarctic by
Air." Admiral Byrd was presented
with ten volumes of letters written
by the children of the United States.
These letters represented a project of
the National Education Association.
Another outstanding feature of the
convention was a concert by the National High School Chorus composed
of boys and girls from every state.
This chorus was led by Hollis Dann,
of New York University.
