Lutheran Students Gather
at Selinsgrove
"Conferences may be dull, but
not this one," says Alice Baumgarner, upon her return from the Lutheran Student Association meeting
at Susquehanna University, Selins-''
grove. Pa., February 17 to 19. Alice
and her room-mate Caroline Cathcart, represented the Lutheran students of Lock Haven, at this conference.
She went on to tell about the different representatives. "There were
so many fore;gn students—intereste d a n d Interesting. A boy from
Porto Rico, preparing at Gettysburg
for the ministry. A charming Japanese girl, studying at Biblical Seminary that she may go back to teach
her people. From 'Vassar, two countries, Germany and Czecho-Slovakia,
were represented. South America
had one representative, a man who
had come from Brazil to Boston to
study law.
"America was well represented,
too. iDr. J. A. Moorhead, D. D., LL
D. President of National Lutheran
Council; Matilda Pepper, Secretary
of the Board of Education, United
Lutheran Church; and Dr. Harvey
Hoover from Theological Seminary,
Gettysburg.
"T h e talks were concise a n d
pointed. Time was not ample for
wasting words. Busy college people
froiji Canada to New York, and as
far south as Gettysburg dropped
their work and came to Selinsgrove
to spend three days discussing student problems and Lutheranlsm.
"The people were of the best. The
food was good. And the talks were
halpful. Everyone left with a smile
and bushels of ambition."
Conective G>m Class Is
Organized
A corrective gym class, under the
direction of Miss Dixon Is being held
in Room M. ot the Training School.
Dr. Merrel, Dr. Blackburn and various family physicians are being
consulted regarding individual cases.
This class has been planned to
help those children who need special work on posture and other physical defects. The necessary equipment has been installed to take care
of these. Class is held once or twice
a week, or even oftener in some
cases, according to the Individual
needs.
It has been discovered that most
of the children who have some physical defect, are to a certain extent
underfed. The school is providing
milk and crackers to be served to
these children.
It must be added that those in
charge of these special classes, are
college students who for some reason are not able to take part in the
regular gym activities. Group I students are in charge of this work in
Grades 1, 2, and 3, while the Group
II students have charge of Grades,
4, 5, and 6, and Junior High School.
Dorothy B i c k e l ,
who taught
Health Education in Junior High
School last semester, is continuing
her duties this semester, without receiving credit for it.
Favorable results have already
been detected, and it is hoped that
much will be accomplished for the
good of the children.

and her room-mate Caroline Cathcart, represented the Lutheran students of Lock Haven, at this conference.
She went on to tell about the different representatives. "There were
so many fore;gn students—intereste d a n d Interesting. A boy from
Porto Rico, preparing at Gettysburg
for the ministry. A charming Japanese girl, studying at Biblical Seminary that she may go back to teach
her people. From 'Vassar, two countries, Germany and Czecho-Slovakia,
were represented. South America
had one representative, a man who
had come from Brazil to Boston to
study law.
"America was well represented,

"T h e talks were concise a n d

wasting words. Busy college people
froiji Canada to New York, and as
far south as Gettysburg dropped
their work and came to Selinsgrove
to spend three days discussing student problems and Lutheranlsm.
"The people were of the best. The
food was good. And the talks were

and bushels of ambition."
Conective G>m Class Is
Organized
A corrective gym class, under the
direction of Miss Dixon Is being held
in Room M. ot the Training School.
Dr. Merrel, Dr. Blackburn and various family physicians are being
consulted regarding individual cases.
This class has been planned to
help those children who need special work on posture and other physical defects. The necessary equipment has been installed to take care
of these. Class is held once or twice
a week, or even oftener in some
cases, according to the Individual
needs.
It has been discovered that most
of the children who have some physical defect, are to a certain extent
underfed. The school is providing
milk and crackers to be served to
these children.
It must be added that those in
charge of these special classes, are
college students who for some reason are not able to take part in the
regular gym activities. Group I students are in charge of this work in
Grades 1, 2, and 3, while the Group
II students have charge of Grades,
4, 5, and 6, and Junior High School.
Dorothy B i c k e l ,
who taught
Health Education in Junior High
School last semester, is continuing
her duties this semester, without receiving credit for it.
Favorable results have already
been detected, and it is hoped that
much will be accomplished for the
good of the children.
