THREE PLAYS GIVEN
BY DRAMATIC U

f

r p H R E K very fine one-act pliiys were prosented by the Dramatic Club oii December
lOtli. Tlie plays varied from light comedy to
tragedy. There was opportunity in "My Lady's
Ijai-e." for some fine costuming. The costumes
were iilaiined and made by niembers of the
Club under Ihe direction of Miss Alber.
The (Comedy, "My Toady's Lace," portrayed
a Dutch scene of the period of 16(i0. Diivid
I'hiier, as ilyiilieer Cornclis, did some splendid work iis the iriite father who endeavors to
force his (laint,y and attriictive daughter,
Ant.je, played by Josephine Viering, to marry
the son of his friend, .Tonkheer liin, a Beau
Rruiiiiiiol of the period. In order to convince
her father that he is unworthy of her, Antje
conceived ii iilan whereby tlie superficiality
of Jonkheer, his avarice, aud his conceit, together with his contempt for her father, are
rev( illed. M.ynheer and Antjo's nurse, Maeder
Kaiit,jo, overhears the scheme and drive him
from tlio garden. .Tonkheer Ian, the French
dudo, played b,y Clarence Williams, was very
effectively characterized, and created considerable humor. Maeder Kiiat.je was tiiken by
Miirgiiret Mortimer.
"The Forfeit," by T. B. Kodgers, the heavy
pla.y of tho evening, might have been a traged.v if Miss Hyde, the typist, played by Geraldine Ta.ylor, had not assisted Howard Sheldon, very subtly played by Edward Sliirkle,
out of a bad predicament.
The scene is laid in the oflfice of Pcnbery
and Wliitington, jewelers and merchants.
Howard Sheldon is employed as deputy-clerk.

The State Council of Kducation, met at

iind finally authorized Central State Normal
School to offer full four years of wairk
iu all tho fields of public school education,
and to grant to those who successfully complete that work the degree of Bachelor of
Science in Educiition. With that authorization this sehool, to iill intents and purposes,
ceased to be a type of junior college, and became a teachers' college, on a parity with any
teachers' college in tlic country.
Eighty-five griidiiiites of this institution
have flled requests for information concerning the course during the past .year, most of
these expressing determination to return to
Loek Haven iinmediately upon the installation of the new courses; this, before any definite word could be given that the courses
would be oft'ered. With tlie announcemeut

graduates of this school do not immediately

HIGH RECORMENDATION FOR
LOCK HAVEN
This right to grant degrees was not
attained until this school's qualifications for doing work of collegiate grade
had been minutely examined. The
State Council of Education is exceedingly careful to whom that right is
given. It is exceedingly jealous of the
good fame whieh should attach to the
awarding of baccalaureate degrees, and
rightly so.
Lock Haven Normal had to undergo
the same searching examination t h a t
every institution which applies for college rating must submit to. The qualifications of every member of the faculty were inquired into. The condition
of the school property, the nature of its
courses, the value of the work done in
its classrooms, the stiffness of the entrance requirements, and the rigidity
with which they were adhered to, etc.,
etc.; everything which would affect the
training of undergraduate candidates
for degrees had to be exactly right.
Dr. Armstrong may take pride in the
fact that, due to the care with which he
has administered every phase of this
school's organization, this school was
able to meet every test and to receive
its collegiate privileges upon its first
application.
DR. ARMSTRONG ANNOUNCES NEWS
Dr. Armstrong somehow was able to
come back from Harrisburg following
t h a t meeting, to go to his desk and
about his duties as usual, and to keep
that news under his hat until Monday
niorning at 9:30. Not an intimation of
it leaked out until he was ready.
He was not ready until he had every
member of his faculty lined up on t h e
auditorium platform Tuesday morning,
with the assembled student body in
their chapel seats wondering what was
about to blow off. He was not ready
then until the regular course of the
chapel exercises had been run, with the
faculty getting just as mystified as the
students. He had even then to read the
usual grist of announcements.
In an absolutely typical fashion he
Imd to announce first of all with—is it
the dry humor of his Scotch heritage?—
complete seriousness that he had
brought the faculty together to see how
well the student body marched to music.
Then he was ready, but not overready.
"There have been great dates in the
liistor,y of this normal school," he begiin—and everyone knew that something
out of the ordinary impended. "There
was February 23, 1870, when the Clinton
County Courts issued the charter authorizing the establishment of a state normal school at Loek Haven.
"There was September 17, 1877, when
this school first opened its door to undergraduates. Since that date 3,900
men and women have graduated from
Lock Haven Normal School and gone
out to be a credit to this Commonwealth.

••There was August 18. 1914, the date
ulieu the State of Pennsylvania iicipiired in full the rights and interests
of this sehool. nnd made it iu the fullest
sense ii stnte institution.
"There was a da.v within this jiast
.vear when this school was authorized
to give a third-.vear course in Kindergarten Education, the only normal
si'hool ill this conimonwealth whieh has
that privilege. I consider that truly
one of the big days, the eventful days,
for Central State Normal School.
"And now there is December 3, 192(5."
And then came the announcement,
simply worded, giving little hint of the
Jilanning or of the work that had laid
behind it, announcing the fact of the
degree-granting privilege, and indicating just a little of how mueh it meant
for the future of Loek Haven.
A spattering of hands in the audience
and on the platform indicated how much
by surprise tho news had come, and a
growing volume of clapping marked how
the signifiennce of that news began to
dawn.
A burst of music from the orchestra,
and the student body marched out to
talk it over.
Many of the present senior class will,
of course, continue until June and then
go out into teaching. How many will
take up immediate advantage of their
chance Normal Times has been unable
to check up. There are a number, however, who have definitely made up their
minds to go on through for their degrees, and that number will increase as
Commencement approaches.
Purely as a guess, though a conservative one, on the basis of the number of
former alumni who have agreed to return and on some other scattered data,
there will be between 100 and 150 students registered in the third and fourth
year of work here ne.xt September.

First Normal School Health
Conference Held Here
The first health conference of the proschool child in connection with any of
I'eunsylvnnia's state normal schools was
held in the psychology ciinie of the Central State Normal School on December
7-9 inclusive, by Dr. Mary Riggs Noble,
cliief of staff of the preschool division
of the Department of Health at Harrisburg, and speeial agent of the Children's Bureau of the United States Department of Labor at W.ashiugton, D.C.
Before each child appeared for his
health examination his life history had
been secured for Doctor Noble, therefore she immediately gave special attention to a complete and painstaking
physical examination. She entered into
each case carefully with one or both of
the parents present.
These guardians and parents visited
the psychology ciinie with their children, and registered the children for
the health examinations: Miss Lena
Kennedy, Superintendent of the Children's Home, who entered ten children
from this institution; Mrs. Homer H .
Gage, executive secretary of the Communit.y Service Bureau; Mrs. Carroll

each for examination; and Mr. Francis

The class is studying the teaching of
Geography and as a bisis for the presentation of the subject of fuel. Doctor
Smith suggested "beginning at home."
Mr. Miller was asked to come to speak
to the girls, and, knowing all the "ins

answer every question asked. Many of
the girls had taken no particular interest in the work going on about them,
but by the time Mr. Miller was finished
the whole class was anxious to go down

Christmas P a r t y Enjoyed by
Fifth and Sixth Grades
The Christmas party given in fifth
and sixth grades on Tuesday, December
21, this year, was a joint .affair, each
grade preparing its own program and
giving it for the members of the other
class.
. Included in the xerogram of the sixtli
grade were "A Wishing Tree" and "From
the Orient They Came A-Eiding," sung
by the class. Tho familiar scene between Scrooge and his nephew, from
"The Christmas Carol," was dramatized,
and il plaj', "The Children's Carol," was
given by members of the class. I n the
play were shepherds, children, kings,
and angels. The children were all in
costume and everything was in keeping with the spirit of Christmas. The
members of the class also decided to
draw ships ;iiid exchange gifts.
The fifth giiide progrnin was somewhat similar to that of the sixth grade
in that part of their program consisted
of carol singing. Several of tho children undertook to read and recite poet r y aud also to tell stories to the class.
Two of their stories, "Why the Chimes
B a n g " and "The Eich Are Generous,"
were dramatized.
Supervising the sixtli grade prograiu
was Miss Pollick, assisted by members
of the class and the following student
teachers: Miss Wahl, Sliss Buddy, Miss
Duble, Miss MeCawley, Miss Blumcnshine, Mrs. Kane, Miss JlcCloskey, Miss

boughs of the beautiful pines bend down
under the white weight. I>ike icicles
growing up from the ground tho shrubbery near the entrance stiinds stiffly

There is no sign anywhere of Christmas dinner, unless it may be where a
stray mouse is feasting on the crumbs

the feeling that ho will not be disturbed.
The halls are quiet. The dining room
chairs settle back happily, ready for a
little while to relax without tho clamor
of the usual dinner rush and bang. The
library settles down to enjoy a little
peace. The poor old blue room may look
yearningly out toward the hall for a
few visitors with whom it mny share n

accident occurred on Water Street near
the Presbyterian church.
She was admitted to the Lock Haven
Hospital on Friday, November 19. The
dislocation required six settings and she
was compelled to stay in tho hospital
until Tuesday noon, November 2,'). The
same day she arrived at the Normal
School for her afternoon classes.

Pageant of Thanksgiving
Staged in Gym
The spirit of fhe first Thanksgiving
was abl.y depicted in a dramatization
given by the girls of the fifth and sixth
grades iu the training school.
The
event took place Wednesday morning,
November 24, in the gym. Much credit
must be given to Miss Dixon, Agnes
Mattson, tho reader, Edith Hopkins, the
pianist and the physical education teachers in these grades, for the success of
the progr.am. The work of the children
was done in a mo,st pleasing and successful manner.
The gym presented an attractive picture with ground pine, a log cabin, a
wigwiim, an outdoor fire, and the entire
scene subdued by green light which covered the paper-covered windows.
All tho mothers and fathers were invited and cjuite a large erowd attended.
Every grade in the Training School,
from the Kindergarten to the Junior
High School, assembled in the gym.
The scene opened with a group of Indian maidens running past the wigwam
in front of which sat two Indian Chiefs.
Their graceful dance heralded the ar"rival of the Big Chief and the various other chiefs who then entered. At
the same time Pilgrim men .and women formed a group on the stage.
Here they stood watching while the
Big Chief smoked the peace-pipe, calling
to each of the four winds, who were represented by four chiefs. The pipe was
then passed to the Pilgrim Father to
smoke, who afterward offered up a prayer of Thanksgiving.
A dance by the Pilgrims followed,
beautifully done. The men in their
brown suits with white collars and high
hats made pictiiresrjue partners for the
demure gray clad maidens.
Another old-country danee by the Pilgrim children was also very well given.
The pageant ended bj' the Pilgrim Father inviting ever.y one to a big Thanksgiving dinner.
One can .judge the beauty and success of the pageant when it was esteemed worthy of repetition. It waa given an encore performance Thursday, December 2, in the gym, for the beneflt
of the Normal students.

JUST ABOUT JERRY
Jerr.v Lives Through a
Rainy Day
" J e r r y , " said Betty, as she laughingly entered the room, "what are you doin?"
"What are you laughing at, any way?''
Jerry answered, crossly. " I don't see
anything to laugh at in this beastly
place—always having to do what you
don't want to do when you most don't
want t o do it. Just the same, day after
day: get up by bells, eat by bells, sleep
by bells! I feel like some sort of person living in an asylum."
Betty was silent.
J e r r y continued: "I wish something
would happen. Think I'll put on a
slicker and go out and search for adventure."
"Pneumonia will happen if you do,"
retorted Betty.
"What business has it to be raining,
anyway, when the sun ought to be shining?" put in Patty, drumming gloomily
on the "window-pane.
Just then there was a knock at the
door, and a girl entered. "Miss Stewart," she said, "3'OU have a caller, Mr.
Frederick Kaye."
"Who's he, Betty?"
"Kever heard of him. What do you
suppose it can b e ? "
"Au adventure—I know it's an adventure ! Maybe your uncle that you
never heard of has just died and left
you a fortune; or maybe—Oh! Why

didn't it happen to me, when I'm so
liored to death! Anyway, a second-hand
adventure is better than none. Do
hurry so j-oii can tell me all about i t !
Yes, your hair looks all right," and
Jerry pushed Betty out of the door.
Before she had settled herself down
fo work, B e t t y returned. "He didn't
ask for me a t all; he asked for Miss
Sfanlej'," she announced.
"How disgusting!" cried Jerry "What
did the man look like?"
"Oh, he looked frightened and didn't
(hi anything but stammer. I walked up
fo him and asked if he were Mr. Kaye.
He stood up, stammered and blushed,
and looked as if he wanted to deny it,
but finally acknowledged that he was. I
explained my business, and he stamiiierod that he called to see Miss Stanley
and that the girl whd called me must
have made a mistake. Ho was quite
cross about it .and acted as though I had
insulted him. I apologized and backed
out."
"Is that a l l ? " Jerry asked disappointedly. "If I couldn't have a better adventure than that, I wouldn't have
any.
"But, Jerry, when I told Sal about
it, she insisted that he had asked for
me.
"Ha! The plot thickens, after all.
What do you suppose it means?
.Terry shook her head. "There is a
mystery somewhere, b u t its not very
exciting."
That night at the dinner-table J e r r y
fold the story of Betty's visitor.
"Why, I can tell you all about it,"
said one of the girls, who happened to
know him. "He is the victim of a
buried romance, it seems. Two or three
years ago Mr. Kaye was engaged to a
girl here in college whose name was
.Mice Stewart. He must have unconsciously asked for Jliss Stewart just as
lie did three years ago, instead of asking
for his cousin, whom he nndoubtedly
called to see. How I would have loved
to have been there when Betty swept
into the room," laughed Mil.
"Well," said Jerry, " I hope that is all.
It's not much of a story, but it's a relief to have it concluded."

Living near the mail boxes proves to
be most entertaining sometimes. Exclamations of all sorts are heard. Tho
other day while listening to the excited
group, some in earnest, others putting
it on, I wondered if people didn't get
tired of the same old thing day in and
day out, just as tired of reading,
"Dear
" and "Sincerely
" as we
get of writing if.
Of course we know it is a rule of
writing that the beginnings and endings
must be just right, so that they will
leave a good impression of the whole.
C.in't you make tho first words and the
last words of your letters not only correct but also a bit different from other
people's? ReiiUy, it is not so hard as
it sounds.
If ,vou have never read "Daddy-LongLegs," read it now, and get the idea that
a perfectly good and interesting letter
can be written without
beginning
"Dear
" and ending "Sincerely" or
"Yours." Y^ou too can write such a letter by thinking hard for just a few
seconds before and after you tell the
news, and you need not be a genius to
do it either.
Turn your words around, mix them
up a bit, and see what yon have. I t is
astonishing what a big difference there
is between "Dear Mary" and "Mary
Dear." If she is a very dear friend, she
won't mind the superlative used very
sparingly. Then, too, just "Mary" gives
an intimate touch.
Search your memory for a nickname
—^the sort your friend likes. Or make
up a brand new one all her own. It
may give your chum a little thrill to
hear her little girl name again, especially if she has been Katherine for very
long.
Try impromptu nicknames that fit.
Such as "Dear Girl I Like," may prove
to be a good happy ono; there are
hundreds like it for every special
friend. "Dear Grandma Who Sends Me
Things" would bo a good start for any
school girl wheu writing to Grandma to
thank her. "Chum Mine," "Mother o'
Me," "Sister Sweet." Oh, they are endless! If you just simply can't think of
a thing at the moment, it may sound
cozy to start "H'lo" or "Dear Mary
Dear."

night"; or perhaps just "Home" or
"School" would make it a bit different.
Y'ou have a flue start on your letter;
and the chances are t h a t your delight
over finding just the cutest beginning
will inspire you on to write the newsiest
letter. You may be carried through the
letter, but if your conscience won't let
J'OU spoil the end with "Sincerely yours"
then chew yonr pen a moment.
Love ma.y be sent in a hundred different ways. Your girl chum ma.v like
from another girl "Your lover—Bess."
A few others a r e : "Love iu quantity
aud quality"; "Love to last till I see
you"; "With a big little hug and a little
liig love."
Possibl.v, you would like fo save your
love for the best occasions, for the folks
you really and trul.v love. If .vou prefer sliding around some different way,
you must think hard. Now is the time
when "Sincerely," and "Hemember me
kindl.v," bob np and threaten your individuality.
"My
f.amily
remembers
.yours," gives a slightly new twist; so
does "(Iood wishes of every sort and
size," or "Yotirs you know."
Wh.atever you say, don't let it be, " I
must close." Even t h a t can be disguised in "There's an end to everything,
except my love."
Frills at both ends of a letter are a
lot like holly ribbon on Christmas gifts
—-you are sure that what's inside will be
nice."

There are six varsity letter men from
last year's squad in school this winter.
Captain Sherkel, our rugged guard of
last season, will be a big cog in the
•wheels this year. He will in all likelihood hold down either a guard or the
center position. "Homie" Hosterman is
a quick clever forward having that
skill that is necessary when it comes to
making baskets. He should have a big
year ahead of him. "Liver" Bauman is
a very capable forward who doesn't stoji
until the last whistle. They will have
all the competition necessary in the
form of Dale, Swoyer, Reninger, Boyer
and Quigg.
Pomeroy, owing to au injury he received while playing at his home during
the Thanksgiving vacation, will be lost
to the team until at least the first of
February. There will be a keen contest
for the guard position thus left vacant,
with "Cy" Williams, Bowser, Dave
Ulmer and Bohn leading iu the race.
Max Bossert, a Lock Haven High letter man, will give much reinforcement
to the squad. Max must feel most natural at the pivot position. However,
Harris, a Jersey Shore boy, isn't going
to give him a minute's rest; and we all
know what kind of basketball players
Jersey Shore can turn out.
All in all Central State is at the
threshold of a season in which she
should be able to do big things. With
a good coaeh, a large number of men
making lots of competition, and a well
balanced schedule we should see some
real basketball in the next three
months.

Sherkel Is Net Captain

14 Games for Net Team
Captain Ed Sherkel and his qu.irfet
of cohorts are ready to sail into the
winter basketball season. Fourteen fracases are to occur before the season
ends, three of those still being pending.
An early season game will be undertaken with Renovo High here on December 18. The upriver boys eat basketball nine months out of the year,
and never have a weak team. I t is
entirely probable that this preliminary
workout will be all Ed and the quartet,
or cohort, or what have you, can handle.
The real season breaks after the
Christmas holidays. A game will be arranged for January 7, probably with a
five from Penn State. On January 14
Mansfield plays here. On the twentysecond the boys go to Williamsport to
talk matters over with Dickinson Seminary. To make that game easy Bloomsburg Normal will come up here the
night before, January 21, a n d try our
mettle.
A game is pending for January 28.
Four February games, two home and
two away, have been arranged. Indiana
Normal and Dickinson Seminary play
here on Februar.y 11 and 18, respectively. February 4 will see the maroon and
grey at California Normal, and February 25 the.v will disport over the gym
floor at Bloomsburg.

Mansfield, which was to have wound up
our playing schedule with a game there
on November 20, was compelled to cancell the game. The torrential rains of
the week preceding that date had flooded the Mansfleld playing field, inaking
it unfit for anything short of water polo.

Coaeh Dyck was somewhat relieved
when the Mansfield message came
through. The same rains which flooded
Mansfield had washed out three bridges
.along the new state road between Williamsport and Mansfield, had made the
dirt-road detours impassable, and had
cut off train service. He had been finding no bus company willing to attempt
fhe trip.

Football Schedule Partly
Complete
Three gaines have been definitel.v
signed up for next football season.
Coach Dyck has the contracts for the
games with Bloomsburg, California, and
Indiana Normals. Five more games are
partially or tentatively agreed upon.
The season will begin one week later
than this year, will contain eight games
instead of nine, and Coach Dyck expresses a strong hope that a training
period can be arranged preliminary to
the opening of the fall term.
This summarizes the developments toward the 1927 football season.
Indiana has agreed with us to play
their third annual game on Indiana's
campus October 15. The second game
of the home-and-home series with California will be played here in Lock Haven on October 29, and the first game
of a new two-game contract with
Bloomsburg Normal will be played at
Bloomsburg on the fifth of November.
The date of the Mansfield game is
uncertain. Contracts had been signed
last season calling for a game at Mansfield on November 18, but there has been
a slight mixup in their scheduling for
next season. The game will be played
at Mansfield, to compensate for the
enforced cancellation of the 1926 game,
but the exact date is unsettled.
Either Dickinson Seminary or Stroudsburg Normal will be met late i n November. The first games of the season
are indefinite. Coach Dyck is in correspondence with Freeland Miners and
Mechanics, Elizabethtown College, Harrisburg Academy, and several other
schools.
Susquehanna ITniversity and four
others are among the five colleges with
whom correspondence is under way. A
West Virginia Normal School has also
requested a late-season game. As soon
as the schedule is completed it will be
published in Normal Times.

Ed Sherkel, product of Houtzdale
High School, and center on last year's
net aggregation here, has been elected
captain of the 1926-27 basketball team.
Ed is taking his new honors with his
usual ready, slow grin, and with a set
of the jaw that argues that the boys
will have to step along on the floor if
they are to keep in the good graces of
their helmsman.

OUR O W N L I T T L E DIARY
Monday, November 15
Our vacation was announced today.
Thrills! We're going home. I can
hardly wait. For eleven weeks I've
lived for five days. Let me out!
Changed from teaching in third grade
to first. I was rather leery! It's all
right though. I like it now.
Plump and Tiny went out to the
movies. I was still up when they came
back. The Cosmo, was too good to put
away. I got the particulars of the show
'n everything. Something else 1 missed.
This weather is so wonderful I wish
it wonld stay like this until we go home.
Just like spring.
Tuesday, November 16
A week from today and we can say
we're going home tomorrow. I t sounds
too good to be true. This week will
probably drag like the deuce. I t always

That went home. I quit now.
Wednesday, November 17
Oh that moon! It's glorious! I
wrote a letter and read a book at the
window. Mather niieonifortable, so I
moved to the door. There's an advantage to sitting in the last door. You can
see everybody before they see you.
Started my gym note book. I'll be relieved when that's finished. I'll be playing hockey in my sleep.
Thursday, November 18
No mail. If t h a t isn't luck. Looks
as though I'm not the only one that
quit. I t feels good not to owe any letters. That's the only consolation I get
out of i t though. What else happened
today? Nothing, I guess. E.vcifiiig?
Friday, November 19
Went down to the library to read the
paper. Nothing in the Gazette we didn't
know, so we just sat. We're talking a
little too much to suit soineone so we

I received a letter. I t I hadn't there

1 worked for a while in the Library,
(lot a little b i t done b u t nothing to talk
about. More reference work to do, and
it's just piling np while I sit around
and look. I f we can't dance iu the gj'in
we can in our room. It's hard telling
which is going to wear oot first: the

Thursday, December 2
If seems ages ago since wo were
home, and it's only a week. I think
Belvy is cheating on us. Yesterday
morning we got up at five minutes to
seven.
This niorning wc got up with the boll.
Did we step? I don't mean maybe. We
made breakfast too. I almost lost a
heel in the act. I never did anything
so quick in all my life. Donuts missed
it altogether. She can't say I didn't call
her. I made a trip over to her room to
get her out.
Friday, December 3
Another week-end. Only two more
after this one. The concert in the
auditorium was good. When he sang
"Mandalay"—I wanted him to sing it
again, but he didn't. 1 sujqiosc if he
knew I wanted him to he wonld have
thought twice. I had the whole gang
winking at him, but from all aiqiearaiices it didn't work. He sang some little "ditty."
Saturday, December 4
It's awful cold out. I walked down
town twice and almost froze. Donuts
did her weekly buying. I thought she
was going to liny the five aud dime out.
The list she pulled out almost knocked
me loose. I thought I'd be carrying
half of it for her but strange to relate
when all wrapped it was only a two by
four package.
The Y. W. Bazaar seemed to bo a big
success. Some of the things they sold
were cute. The side show was clever.
I can't say how the "Fortune Telling"
was because I didn't t r y it.

Winifred King, 1926, is teacliing history and music in the Martz School,
Logan Township. Kumor reaches us
that she is m.aking a mighty good job
of it—but what would you expect?
In the same school Pauline Snyder
is educating the beginners in the first
grade of all.
Mildred Myers, 1926, is teaching art
in all eight grades of the Endress
School, Logan Township. Jlildred was
art editor of the 1926 Praeeo, and can
take much of the credit for the fact
that the a r t work in that book scored
125 points out of 125 in the University
of Wisconsin contest.
Mary Elizabeth Bair, 1925, is supervising art and penmansliip in the Logan
Townshiii schools, no mean job when
the 4,000 students and 90 teachers in
those schools are taken info consideration.
The lioys must feel slighted these
da.vs. Certain private rules prohibit
the girls speaking fo them.
