"Really Santa Claus"
Down the House
'Twas not the niglit before Christmas,
b u t Santa Clans was there. He just had to
come to the combined Cliristmas party
and bazaar of the Y. W. on Saturday
evening, December 16.
If he had not come, he would have
missed the huge Christmas tree, resplendent with colored balls, tinsel, and lights,
in the center of the room. H e would
have missed the wonderful mind-reader. Gashing Gussie, borrowed from
Eingling Brotliers sideshoAV for that evening onl.v, togetlier witli lier suave manager, Hester Liddle; and he would not
have seen tlie energetic shaking-up
which, under hypnotic influence, of
course, slie gave to our sedate Mr.
McDougall.
He would have missed the three quaint
ladies, redolent of lavender and old
hay, who came from the thriving village of Pumpkin Center, to mingle,
open-moutlied in \vonder, with the fashionable throng of city folks.
He would have missed the wandering
gypsy from the wilds of Bohemia, who
read past, present, and future iu the
turning of her cards; the clever Japanese maidens, with their table-load of
real oriental antiques; the fish pond;
Marcella, the cone-dipper; the candy
booths; the fancy work; the leedle
shtreet band, led by Mr. Drum and Mr.
Trembatli; he would have missed everytliiiig.
Worse than that—for Santa has
lived a long time, and jierhaps he has
seen such scenes before—all of C. S. N. S.
would have missed Santa. For all of
C. S. N. S. was there to see him. They
crowded the g y m ; they spent their
Christmas car-fare on gewgaws; they
laughed and shouted and misbehaved
like little ladies; but all the time they
were just waiting for Santa; he was the
lion of the evening.
And wlien he apjieared a t last, all in
a whirl, with Guy l.uck and Herlister, the
Benfer twins, picking up the jiackagos
that he left in tlie wake of his sleigli—
oh, graybeards, you should have seen
Kosetta aud Joanna and Edythe and
Mildred then. It would have renewed
your oft-battered faith in the dear old
myths of childliood. Tliey shouted and
cheered and jumped up and down, they
.•Irill all the other chihlren, and asked in
incredulous shouts, "Is he r e a l ? " and
carried on just like—just like C. S. N. S.
on a holiday.
Santa surel.y was a good old sport. No
one was disappointed. It anyone had
tohl liim of certain high crimes and
niisdenieanors, he had forgotten them.

When a bunch of hard wishers quit
wishing aud get to shoving, something
lias to give. Tliere was supposed to be
insuperable opposition to a girls' basketball team somewliere about the classic
halls of C. S. N. S. For some reason when
Miss Butler and a group of local live
wires quit wishing and started shoving,
the opposition just was not tliere.
The facult.v, assured that athletics
for the girls who could make the school
team would in no way lessen the opportunity of athletics for everyone, endorsed the formation of the team without a murmur. Mr. Drum promised his
support. In jig time there was a husky
squad of candidates working out on the
gym floor, and, although it is too early
to assume that any position is finally
assigned, a tentative team is ready to
carry the colors of C. S. N. S. into
competition with other schools.
Neta Wliite has been elected captain.
The guiird posts will fall to E u t h Summersgill and Edith Ash. Hilda Leathers
;ind IjUcille Burnliam appear to have the
inside track for center and side center.
Sarah Hanna, Anne Kennedy, and Neta
Wliite are arguing it out for forwards.
Katherine Cawle,y, Helen Dittmar, Mildred Ericson, and several others arc putting up strong bids for positions. Sounds
good, doesn't it? (Answer, eaclio, answer: "You bet it does!")
Indications point to a s.atisfactory
schedule, despite the late start, especially since many of the first class high
schools in this district are beginning to
see the light, and are returning to girls
rules for girls teams. Just now negotiations are on for a game witli Williamsport Higli girls for January !>, aud

TELEPHONE TROUBLES
EXPLAINED IN CHAPEL
Tlie student body during the chapel
period, December 17, took a trij) through
the central offices of the Bell Telephone
Coiii]jany. A party of four from the
Williamsport offlce of the Bell Telephone Company put on a series of short
talks and sketches that, to everyone's
surprise, proved to be one of the best

The play production class literally
and figurativel.v brought down the house
by their presentation of "Why the
Cliimes Hang," in chapel Tuesday morning, December 20. At the climax of tlie
play, when the pla.vers and the audience
were hushed, waiting for the miraculous
chimes to ring, down came the plaster
in the off-stage dressing room, half of
the ceiling falling. No one was hurt,
however; and the cast, recovering more
quickly than some members of the audience, went smoothly on as though no
interruption hud occurred, meriting by
their acting as well as b,y their poise the
appl.ause whicli brought down tlie liouse
in another sense at the end of the performance.
The story of the plaj' deals with the
self-sacrifice of a little Flemish peasant
lad, Halgar, played by Beatrice Amour,
who gives up his heart's wish, that of
going to the big cathedral in the nearby
city, to attend the Christmas services,
in order to minister to the needs of a.
poor old woman who has come to their
door, half frozen and more than half
famished. He watches his Uncle Bertel,
Esther Carlson, and his brother Steen,
Helen May, depart to see the King and
his courtiers at the service, and to see
the rumored fulfillment of the promised
miracle of the ringing of the chimes iu
tlie liigli steeide of the cathedral, chimes
which only the angels could ring, and
they only when a perfect gift was
offered to the Christ Child a t the high
altar.
An unannounced miracle occurs: the
old woman, a spirit in disguise (Mildred
Fickes) causes the walls of Halgar's
home to fall away, and he is translated
to the cathedral, where, after the King's
crown, the rich woman's jewels, and the
courtiers' gifts li.ave failed, Halgar's
pennies, humbly offered, cause the
chimes to peal merrily.
Edith Ash, the priest, in a part to
which not a word was assigned, scored
a real success.
Others in the cast, not l)reviously
named, were:

INTERPRETS MACBETH
"Macbeth, the disintegration and damnation of a groat soul, is the blackest
and most hopeless of Sh;ipespcare's
trageilies," said Professor Frederick IJ.
Losey, of New York, on ilonday afternoon, December 12, in his lecture to the
normal stinlents. "The characters in his
other tragedies die in comparative peace,
but Macbeth dies with a curse on his lips.
"The keynote of the play is 'Fair is
foul and foul is fair,' one of the greatest of human truths. Forces of evil

inoriiliig, December 12, by the members
of Mr. Sulliv.an's sociology class. Fred
Hunter lead the devotional exercises,
and introduced Marie Smith and Emily
Brown, who siioke on current news
events.
Marie .Smith's subject was Clenieuceau's visit to the United States. Clemenceaii, she said, came to the United
States to eJciilain to Americans the true
condition of France as the result of the
war. He wished us to see that the war
is not y e t to be forgotten, and to enlist
the siiiiport of the United States in making the treaty with Germany jirotect
France..
Emily Brown spoke on President
Harding's mes.sage to the Senate, in
which he said that the United States
must think a great ileal niion .and weigh
carefully these <|uestions: )irohibition,

HANDWRITING
DEMONSTRATION
Sixth Grade Lesson Interesting
to Observe
That penmanship has an .absorbing
history was shown to the normal students in chapel on Friday morning,
December 8, when thirteen pupils from
the sixth grade of the training school
gave il demonstration lesson in handwriting. The pupils traced the development of penmanship from the time when
men wrote on stone slabs up to t h e
present muscular movement, each pupil
tiikiug one of the steps and discussing
it full.v. A number of the pupils iilso
quoted what viirious people have said
idiout the value of good handwriting.
Under the direction of Florence Beiis,
a student teacher, the pupils then gave
a demonstration of one of their regnliir
penmanship lessons. They illustrated
how in one lesson the iiecesstiry preliminarj- drills for the formation of ;i
given letter are given, the letter introduced and priicticed, iind its ajiiiliciition
made in typical words.

NOTED LECTURER
INTERPRETS MACBETH
(Continued from page 1)
"At the opening of the play he was
not a wicked m a n ; he was a good man,
but human; b u t even a man innocent in
mind could have responded to evil suggestion as Macbeth did.
"Lady Macbeth is entirely feminine
iind practical. When Macbeth says, ' I
diire do all that may become a man,' she
pours out a bit of feminine exaggeration
intended to spur him onto the murder.
"As a consequence of the murder, Miicbeth sees that he must live a life of
f eiir. He says, 'If it were done, when 'tis
done,' realizing that what is done is
never done, but goes on throughout eternity. Ladj' Miicbeth Iciiriied the eteriiiil
truth of this through suft'ering iind
iigoiiy of soul. Even God cannot take
awii,y the scars of s i n ; He can only
forgive.
"Of the two priiiciiuils, Macbeth has
the stronger chiiracter; Liid.v Miicbeth
commits suicide, but he challenges fiite
until the end."
The lecture of the afternoon piived
the way for a deeper understanding of
the forces at work in the play, brought
into life in Professor Losey's dramatic
lireseiitation of all but the minor scenes
of the plii.y tliiit evening. His excellent
speaking voice caused every word to
carry over to the fair-sized audience, and
his draniiitic ability ciiused the significance of each speech to carry over also.
Despite the iliHicult.v of shifting from
chiiracter to character, the human qualities of ciicli of the more striking persoiiiililies of the play were vividly delineiitcd. As iin emotional experience.
Professor Lose.v's presentation could be
second only to that created by one of
the greatest Shakespearean companies in
the same jiliiy. If such a company^ should
conic lierc now, those C. S. N. S. students
who atteudod Professor Losey's presentation could follow the play with t h e
rich reward that onlj' those who give intelligent iittention Ciiu receive.

BETTY JANE'S
RESOLUTION
"Hurry up, girls, the proctor is comi n g " : that was the beginning of the
disaster. With thumijs aud bangs a
wash-basin dropped from third floor
down to second, and on down to first,
while coffee streamed over the stairs
aud balusters. A scramble iu the hall;
the basin and as much of the coffee as
could be gathered up were hidden under towel and bathrobe.
When the poor, sleepy iiroctor came
down the hall, she saw nothing but innocent little Betty Jane, quietly but swiftly making her way up the stairs, disturbing no one. Yet no proctor after
such a racket could go back to bed without scolding someone; she set sail after
Betty Jane.
Betty Jane put ou more speed. Her
appearance was innocent enough, but the
basin and the coffee, not to mention the
coffee on the stairs, would be hard to
explain, should they be discovered.
The proctor hastened also, temper
mounting, sleep disappearing; she had
not expected to climb all those stairs a t
11:30; besides, Betty Jane had almost
reached her room. She called but received no answer. Just as her temper
began to subside, she subsided also,
sharply, swiftly, on the stairs, into t h e
slippery coffee.
And so, next morning, Betty J a n e reported to the Student Council. She told
her story, carefully, minutely, exactly;
then waited for her sentence. W h a t
would happen now? Her heart was in
her throat.
There are many, many sentences t h a t
might have been passed on Betty Jane,
iind justly. There are many, many sentences that should have been passed.
But the council was full of the m e r r y
charity of Christmastime. After all,
Betty Jane had been before them only
three times. After all, the slip from
grace—Betty Jane's, not the coffee's—
was understandable. They excused her
this time.
They wish her "Merry
Christmas."
Now, this explains Betty Jane's New
Year's resolutions: .
1. Never to make coffee again in the
student kitchen after 10:00 i). m. and
2. Before she comes back from her
vacation to get a holder that will hold,
just in case.

The Brushwood Boy
The other evening Bill Skelton and
Ernest Schrot decided to have a slumber
party. The night being rather cold,
Ernest piled on his bed all the covers
he could find.
In the morning Skelton awoke with a
bang. He could see on the other bed
nothing but a heap of covers. After a
drows.y moment, he called, "Is that you,
Ernest?"
In a wee, sniiiU, smothered, doubtful
voice Ciinie back: "I don't know; is i t ? "
And that is why Belvie's bell rings a
half hour early.

SPEAKING OF BEANS
C. S. N. S. has had all sorts of tests.
First it was the medical test; then the
jiosture test; but the very latest is the
fliitheiid test, put on by Miss Butler.
Such questions as "Are you perfect?" or
"Siiy, what did .you miike in posture?"
are iincient history. The great Ciimpus
question of todiiy is, "Are you ii fiathead?"
If you are concerned iibout this test,
place a beanbag on your head; proceed
to the fiir end of the gym with all possible speed; if the beanbag is still on
.vour head when the goiil is reached, .vou

Since a number of the seniors are to
leave school at the end of this semester,
it has been suggested thiit ii dance be
held for them during .Januiiry. No definite arrangements have been made, but
we hope to be able to iirovide ii fitting
send-off for them.
Notice, stuilents: the faculty is to
hold fiiculty meetings every Wedncsd.ay
for the remainder of the semester, the
meetings to last an hour. Ahem! No
teacher, no classes.

Morals for Most of Us
Here are a few of the morals that
have been chosen from among the many
to be found iu room 236 West. Choose
early and avoid the mush:

more chances than he who thinks without tiilking.
The fellow who does it now has time
to do something else while the other fellow is thinking about it.

Training School Christmas Party
The primary department of the training school held their annual Christmas
party on the morning of December 20
from 10:00 to 12:00 in the kinderg.arten
room of the training school. The room
was decorated for the occasion, with
large red bells hanging from the walls,
and with a huge Christmas tree, placed
in the center of the room, and trimmed
for the most part with the children's
handiwork.
At 10:00 the kindergarten children
marched into the room and around the
tree, followed by the pupils of grades
one, two, and three, in order. When all
had found seats, the following program
was given:
Quiet Music, "Silent Night". .Miss Shaw

Ijresented by him to his mother or father, most of the parents being present.
In addition, each Wiis given a cornucopiii filled with candy and nuts, the

BOYS ARE SHOT ON THE ICE
The boys of the basketball sciuad were
photographed on the steps of the gymnasium on Saturdaj- afternoon, December 11. Catherine Cooper understudied
for Brion, and made it easier for the
boys to sit still on t h e icy steps than he
might have. By the time they had posed
for several pictures, most of them found
themselves frozen fast. Begging Catherine to depart as speedily and completely as possible, and stationing a
guard in the rear to engage Miss Butler's attentions in another direction,
thfv squirmed, pulled, and pried themselves loose. Luck held good, however;
no one had to be pulled over past the
west dorm on a sled, and carefully
seated.
