Eighty-eight Graduates Leave
C. S. N. S. in Class of 1924
Few Changes on Faculty—Entertainment Course Arranged.
Training School Opens
Every train from every direction,
New York Central or Pennsylvania, bore
crowds of students to Lock Haven Normal on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday,
June 22, 23, and 24. Trolley cars and
taxis tore back and forth between the
train and the school. The platform of
the station heajied higher and higher
with trunks and baggage.
Suitcases
and handbags accumulated in the halls.
Students located themselves in their
rooms, and the accumulations melted
slowl.y.
Baggagemen toiled, and the
trunks one by one found their way
into the proper rooms. Normalcy reestablished itself, even though in a few
hours nearly six hundred students,
equipped with all that seemed necessary
to sijend nine weeks, had piled into the
dormitories and into homes about the
city.
Registration began immediately. It is
an old story now, that long wait in the
g.yninasium for a chance to settle the
jireliminaries, that painful shelling out
to Mr. Ritter for the term's biggest expenses, that filling out of registration
forms, and that process of making out
a. program. The heat of the days, the
hottest we have had this summer, added
nothing to the fun of the process. But
—there were more old friends to greet,
there were more handshakings and osculations, there was all the excitement of
a reunion for those who had been here,
and there was all the newness to keep
excited those who are here for the flrst
time. The faculty members had the
same friendl.v spirit evident that marks
their attitude here.
Each student,
though it took much time to do it, had
the satisfactory feeling of having talked
over her special problem with some
faculty member, so that her final program was the best one that could be divised for her. No one should run foul
of the complicated regulations governing certification in this state; her program was made out after her problem
was realized. From the flrst moment
the school began to run, it was made
evident that this school wants to meet
students as individuals and as human beings, and not as one small atom of very
little importance in the big mass of
the school. Bush, cram, jam, it was,
to get everything done, yet there was
time for individual greetings and plan-

1924 is out in the wide-wide world.
The day that seemed so far away, back
there in September, 1922, has come—and
gone. The many girls and the few boys
who started out together, worked together, stuck together, together added
new glory to the name of C. S. N. S.,
have met together for the last time, to
gether have graduated, together are list
ed for all time as sons and daughters
of Alma Mater. Together they wdll
never be again; yet in a truer sense they
can never be separated. There is that
quality in a good class that makes it
live forever in the hearts and minds
of every member, and in the mind and
heart of the school which once knew
and served and loved them all.
Eighty-eight inembers graduated in the
class of 1924. Not all of fhem won honors in scholarship or in teaching, but
all of them have been euipped to earn
a living and to live worthily. Central
State gets its glory and its reward in
the work of its graduates, and the
graduates of 1924 have that which wdll
establish the worth of the education
they have received and of the school
that gave it to them in all the communities into which they now go.

It added, somehow, a peculiar charm
and value to the commencement exercises of the class of 1924 that the final
message addressed to them eame from
the well-beloved former principal of this
institution, Ur. Charles Lose. His theme
was "Personalitj' and Character," and
so ably was it developed, so intimate
and so practical was its message, that
no one who heard it will ever entirely
forget it. To state as briefl.v as must
be stated here its message is to lose
most of its value. A teacher's voice, he
said, should be natural, pleasant, and
distinct. Her dress should be suitable
and attractive, neither shabby nor in the
extreme of fashion. "The schoolroom,"
he said, "has no place for the flapper—
male or female." The teacher should be
optimistic, should possess a sense of
humor, should be above displays of
temperament. Like her dress, her manners slimild be neither shabby nor extravagant. She must be absolutely sincere ia character; children are quick to
detect the least sign of insincerity, and
with the loss of their faith in their
teacher goes her chance to influence
them for good. She must have a wdiolehearted devotion to her work ; put into

May .SI was Alumni Day. And m.aybe the graduates of this school did not
know it. Not in inaii.y years have so
many of the graduates been back at one
time. Not in as many years has a gathering been so enthusiastic. Nearly two
hundred registered with Miss Edna Rich,
Secretary of the Alumni. Many more
came to the banquet, to the dance, or
to both, who dispensed with registration
as a mere formality that cut into the
time for seeing the old crowd again.
1904 came back in largest numbers, with
1923 being a not very close second.
Thirty-four classes were represented,
and all enjoyed the flood of reminiscence and the felling of being with
Alma Mater again.
Baseball Game
The day started oflf with a baseball
game between the class of 1904 and all
comers.
1899 had been scheduled to
play, but, with but one representative
on the opposition from that class, 1904
can be fairly said to have met and to
have beaten the fleld, the flnal score being 6-.'), with '04 on the long end. Fred

Courtney, 11; Guy Luck and Ted
Schreiber, '23; these were some of those
who found the schoid uniforms snugger
than they used to be.
Alumni Meeting
A iiriigiaiii nf stunts, including a volleyball game and competitive exercises
by members of the graduating class, was
staged on the athletic fleld at 2:00. At

Geoffrey O'Hara Gives Tecital
On Tuesday evening, July Itli, Mr.
Geoffrey O'Hara, noted comp ser and
singer, entertained the stuih uts and
faculty of C. S. N. S. His p. sonality
was very pleasing, humor and wit predominating throughout his re< ital and
discussion. From the moinciit he appeared on the stage to the hisi encore,
he held the undivided attention of all.
Mr. O'Hara explained how music is
comjiosed, iiarticularly how the little
tunes and folk-songs originated. He exIilained the difference between a real
art song and common popular music.
"An art song is a song wdiich expresses
the thought of the composer; that is,
one which sa.vs in music wluit the words
seem to indicate."
Mr. O'Hara rendered many beautiful
selections, playing his own accoinpaiiimeiit.
He sang an old and a new
Knglish love song, Irish, Scotch, and
.American melodies. The most eiitertaiiiiiig event of the entire prograni was Mr.
O'Hara's variations of his own composition, "K-K-K-Katy." He played it as a
music-box, funeral march,wedding march,
church chimes, Argentine tango, waltz,
fox-trot, circus music. He also demonstrated how au.y selection is mastered
by a player. His illustration was "Poor
Butterfly," played by a jazz-hound, and
then Jilayed as an art song. He closed

Many Improvements for Summer
The biggest change jliade lure iu
some time has taken place in connection with the (lining room program. .\
new refrigeration plant has been installed, an office built for the dietician,
ice water piped to the dining room, the
cooking plan reorganized, and new
equipment ordered. All this has been
done so th.at the students who attend
this school may be assured, so far as it
is humanly possible to assure it, of comfortable, eiijoy;ilile eating conditions.
The new refrigeration plant has been
installed at ;i cost of .116,000 in the spac.'
formerly taken up by the rear stairway
to the music rooms and a store room.
The refrigerating rooms are three iu
nuinber, one being given over to the
storage of vegetables and fruit, ;inotlier
to milk, eggs, and dairy products, and
a third to meats.
Refrigerating machinery' in the b:isenient makes it jiossilile to keep the temperature nf these
rooms below freezing in the hottest
weather. The tenijierature will be kept,
ordinarily, automatically just a few degrees above the freezing point. There
is no reason wdiy all perishable food
Iiroducts should not arrive on the lables
in more perfect condition than any
home could manage.
Connected
with
the
refrigeratinii
plant is a large storage tank, from
which it will be possible to draw unlimited quantities of ice cold w.ater at
any time.
What this should mean to
the comfort of the summer session students will be apparent when the warm

A brick office for the use of the
dietician has been constructed in the
rear of the school, just off the (lining
room. This will make it possible for the

A Profitable Sideline
Lock Haven Norinal Scliool students
have had another bit of luck come their
way. There is an increasing demand
for teachers to supervise playgrounds
during the sunimer. Teachers living or
working in any city that maintains public playgrounds will have little difficulty
living over the long, salaryless months
of summer if they are able to say that
they have had actual experience in running a play center. Those students who
are wise enough to put in time on the
new playground wdiich this school is supiervising will have added a very profitable sideline to their stock in trade.
There is another way in which such
work is likely to prove of profit. School
superintendents from the larger systems
are interested in teachers who have special abilities. Teachers who can take
charge of school playgrounds may find
that that ability will give them the inside track on some of the plums of
school teaching.

It is counting chickens before they are
hatched, of course, but would not a
course in Playground Management be a
desirable addition to the regular curriculum? That and a possible course in
coaching of competitive gaines would do
much ill helping our graduates find and
keep excellent iiositioiis.

Next Year
Won't it seem queer next .year when
all of the Seniors' smiling faces will
be gone, the dear old Seniors gone to
take up their work in life? Won't it
seem queerer when in their places we
.luniors will be, carrying the burdens
and responsibilities that alwjiys rest on
Seniors? And, oddest of all, who will
lie the .juniors next year? Some girls
ivhom we have never before seen; some
girls who have for the first time gone
away from home; perhaps some girls
who will be greener than we were when
s\e flrst entered. Everything changed;
ever.vthing different; everything new to
us, though everything just the same to
this good old school that has seen so
many .inniors enter, so many seniors
depart.
But nothing will have changed for the
worse. There will be just as good stuff
in next year's Juniors as in any other
Junior class, even ours. And, if there
is just as good stuff in us as there was
in the wonderful class that has just
graduated, then we will help these new
Juniors along as we were helxiod; lend
the same sort of hand in helping them
find their places in school life; help
them find friends; treat them as we were
treated when we entered.
Every one
of us treasures the memory of a debt
(.wed to some good sport in the class of
1924, a debt run up when one of them,
back in the fall of 1923, did just the
thing that we most needed and were
most grateful for.
These little debts
of gratitude can not be repaid to those
who preceded us.
There is one way
only to square the account each of us
owe, and that is to treat the new Juniors
just as we were treated. 1924, it ina.y
be that 1926, not yet arrived on these
scenes, may have cause to thank you for
showing us how new friends should
be welcomed to these old halls.

All because the Lock Haven Civic
Club took up the playground idea and
popularized it in this community. All
because the Lock Haven B. P . O. E. had
the philanthropic idea of making summers in this city more pleasant to those
children who will not take vacations anywhere else. All because Principal Drum,
desiring to make this school of service
to Lock Haven in every w;iy that it can
be, volunteered to provide supervisors
for the new grounds. Had any of those
three factors been absent there would

The penmanship will be t a u g h t by
Miss Ida M. Gordon, who is also in
charge of the classes in methods in penmanship in the Normal School this summer. Miss Gordin is penmanship supervisor iu Clarksburg, West Virginia.
Mr. Boy S. McDougall, A. M., is director of the summer training school
also. It is to Mr. McDougall that credit
must be given for the splendid organization and direction that makes the
work of the summer training school so
easily accessible and of so much value
to the teachers who attend Lock Haven
Normal during the summer.
Mr. McDougall is particularl.v gratified at the
size of the school this summer. With
the large nuinber of Lock Haven boys
and girls who are awa.y at summer
camps, particularly with the Girl and
Boy Scouts, and with the sunimer Bible
school in Lock Haven enrolling more
than three hundred children this summer it seemed possible that the training
school enrollment would have to fall off.
The big increase over last summer is
therefore satisfying proof that the summer schools here have been of as much
worth to the pupils as to the visiting
teachers who watch their recitations.

The Normal Training School opened
on Monday, J u n e 30, one week later than
the regular summer session, with an
enrollnieiit that exceeds that of any
previous year.
The iipproximate enrollment is 130 pupils, man.v having
been enrolled on both Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, and it is expected that
by the end of the week the numbers
will be in excess of 1150. This nuniber
will permit excellent
demonstration
teaching to be done in each of the grades
from the kindergarten to the sixth, and
will give a general impetus to the work
of the summer session. The kindergarten especially will present effective lessons, the present enrollment, twentyfour boys and girls, being nearly ideal.
It is the largest in the history of summer session work here, the number enrolled in this grade last summer being
scarcely one-third as large.
Experimentation during the past summers has resulted in an excellent system
for taking care of the many observation
chisses which come into the training
school from the Normal school. It is
now possible, througii 36 daily demonstration lessons, for 1,000 individual observations to be made each day of the
summer. There are very few other normal schools iu this state that attempt
to run a summer .school of observation,
and none in which the school more nearl.v resembles regular classroom conditions. The value of being able to see
lessons taught in all subjects by skilled
teacliers can hardl.v be over-emphasized.

Council Members Elected
Two new members were elected to
the girls' student council at a meeting
held on May 28. Geraldine Beas and
Margaret Heylmun were the girls who
were given the most responsible positions in the gift of the student body.
The junior girls have expressed in this
manner their opinion of the good principles and the good judgment of their
new council members-elect.
It is usual at the end nf the year to
elect but one additional niember, Gareldine Teitbohl, one of the memliers who
would have carried over, asked that she
be permitted to resign, stating that the
work of the council took more of her
time than she felt that she could afford.
Gareldine has been a very jiopular member; the girls accepted her resignation
with regret.
Helen Johnston, the other Junior
member who carried over until next
.year, was elected president of the council for 1924-25, Geraldine Beas, vice-president, and Margaret He.ylmuii, secretary.
These three members will represent the
Senior class in the fall. Two new members will be chosen by the new Junior
class in the fall.
Before the election Mr. Drum spoke
to the girls on the qualifications that a
council member should possess to be a
success ill her position. He spoke enthusiastically of the work of this year's
council, praising them for their good
judgment, and all the girls for their cooperation.

Class Day Exercises Best in
Many Years
1924's Class Day has gone into history. The event both welcomed and
dreaded has come and gone.
Before
a large audience of parents and friends,
out under the trees on the west campus,
the class of 1924 presented a program
that the older faculty members pronounced as good as any that they had
seen, and by all means the best iu recent years. It had finish; there were
no hitches due to bad memory or faulty
training. I t was varied; the monotony
of the usual class day performance disappeared, a sufficient number of novelties making the program distinctive and
constantly changing. It sounded well,
which means that tho heart behind it
was sound. There was regret at leaving school which has so grown into the
lives of each member of the class. There
was also an undisguised eagerness to
t r y the new sensation of earning a living, the novelties of teaching in one's
own classroom. There was all that blend
of emotions that whirl through any one
who has lived his school life as fully
and worthily as have these Seniors of
1924.

Likelihood of Four Year Course
Principal Warren Nevin Drum made
the first speech of the evening, setting
forth for the alumni what has recently
been done here and what it is still hoped
to do.
He stressed the developing
cordiality of the relationship between
the people of the Lock Haven district
and the school, detailed at length the
many changes and improvements that
have been made in the physical equipment of the school, stated the need for
a new instruction building, and prophesied the alteration of the courses of till
the normal schools into four-year courses.
The nature of many of the changes to
the school plant are given fully elsewhere in this paper. The most striking
feature of the prediction that this school
would in the near future be offering
four year courses was the set of figures, gathered from graduating classes
in ;i number of high schools in our district, showing t h a t instead of a fouryear course operating to reduce the size
nf entering classes, it should materially
increase them. Two-thirds of the high
school graduates who intend to make
teaching their life work are going tn go
to college to get their preparation.
Manj' of these would come to Normal

take its place on complete parity with

The Banquet
Following the banquet the alumni adjourned to the gymnasium, where the annual Alumni dance was a brilliant affair. Few of the banqueters passed up
the opportunity to go over to the gymnasium, where also went many others
who had not been able to attend the
lianquet were also in evidence. The gym
was attractively decorated, as usual. J .
Buell Snyder and a committee of mixers
made sure that every one had the regular C. S. N. S. good time. The Lyric
Orchestra furnished the music. I t was
evident that whatever else may have
been taken and forgotten wdiile at C. S.

which every live-wire takes while here
had left a permanent impression. Particularly enjoyable were the expressions
on the faces of the youngest alumni,

dance, when they saw the steps of many
of the graduates whose classes, to them,
seemed to be well back in time.

Classes First Day
Wednesday we all had made resolutions to study and begin the year right.
We became acquainted with our teachers,
!ind had a lovely time locating the different classrooms.
One girl thought
she was on her way to the girls' dayroom, but it turned out that she landed
on the boys' side. Of course she knew
about the "No Trespassing," and quickly
retreated. The girls, however, are not
the only ones who make mistakes, for a
boy coming down from third floor turned
to his right and headed for the second
floor, east. He thought he was on the
way to the side entrance, and much to
his chagrin found that he was not. All
these little first day occurrences will be
overcome soon, and we will serenely pass
from one room to another with the greatest of ease.

Play Production Class Again

even the curtains working better than
for some time past. This may be exidained by the fact that Jake Ward

The Naturalist Club held its final meeting of the year, a hike up the girls'
glen and back into the hills. The crowd
left the school about four o'clock,
stopped long enough to pick up the
Trembath family, and then continued
leisurely to the picnic grounds. At six
o'clock Mr. Trembath called the meeting
to order and eats, declaring t h a t every
minute after six made him ravenous.
Mr. Ulmer, Mrs. Ulmer, and Mary arrived a little late, but found plenty to
eat, a few peculiar views to photograph,
and a crowd unwilling to start back to
tlie campus too earl,y. Pauline Schaffner and Bea Van Zandt enlivened the
walk home, down the boys' glen, with
impromptu Pawlowa-like dances.
