Cleda J. McCracken, '27,
Dies on May 18
Two weeks before the class of 1927,
with whom she entered Central State
Normal School, will be receiving the diploma which she liad once thought
would be hers, Cleda Jane McCracken,
of Altoona, died in the sanitorium at
Cresson.
Cleda entered here two years ago, one
of a large group of friends and classmates who had graduated together from
Altoona High School. The cheerfulness
whicli had won them to her quickly extended her circle of friends here. She
made a highly creditable scholastic record throughout the flrst term, and had
entered upon the second before the illness which flnally forced her withdrawal
began to trouble her. Just after the
Easter holidays she left, to rest and recuperate at her home. From there she
went to the sanitorium at Cresson, from
where she continued to keep in touch
witli her friends here, her always cheerful letters arriving regularly, her interest in everything at this scliool unflagging. Despite soma warning signs the
news ol her death at 12:30, May 18, came
with surprising shock. Slie was the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank McCracken, of 5902 California Avenue, Altoona. Following tlie funeral services at
her home on May 22, slie was buried in
Rose Hill Cemetery.

Junior Prom Committee Have
Plans Completed
"Gee, I just can't wait until Saturday, May 7. I know the Prom is going
to be the biggest affair we've had this
year. I'm so glad it's semi-formal, too,
because George just hates to wear a Tux."
"Didn't Clarence Williams siiow college judgment though when he booked
up Gene Nobles from Bucknell to supply the music? He knows wliat kind of
music college girls like."
"I heard the gym was to tae transformed into an old fashioned garden,
with the springiest colors; pale green and
yellow. Leave it to Lita Bressler and her
committee to frame up some clever ideas."
"I also happened to get an inkling of
what kind of programs we're having. I
was talking to Retaa Jolmson, chairman
of the committee, and she happened to
let it slip. The same color scheme used
for the decorations is carried out in the
programs. She said they were the best
looking programs we've ever had."
"I couldn't flnd out what the Juniors
are going to give us to eat, b u t I do
know t h a t Ruth Adams and Louise
Young are on the refreshment committee, so we can rest assured it will be
something appealing to the appetite."
"Tlie only objection I have to the dance
is we're only allowed to dance from
eight-thirty u n t i l eleven-thirty.
I
thought perhaps we would be permitted
to dance until twelve tliis time taecause
it is tile last dance this year."
"Too close to Sunday!"
"See you there?"
"With bells on, old thing. G'by."

Juniors Select Cast for "Kempy"
For their class play the Juniors, Instead of choosing tliree one-act plays as
t h e former classes have done, decided
upon one three-act play, "Kempy," written by J. C. Nugent and Elliott Nugent.
I t is a delightful comedy concerning a
family of small-town people who, though
wealthy, desire to live comfortably and
peacefully, but not to show off. One
daughter, however, differs from her parents in this respect and tlie scenes between the family, her flance, and herself
are very realistic and amusing.
The cast includes Earl Smitli as Kempy
James; Albert Hobba, Duke Merrell; Ray
Zaner, " P a " Bence; Dent Bowser, "Ben"
Wade; Margaret Coira, Ruth Bence;
Helen Williams, Catherine Bence; Mary
App, "Ma" Bence, and Reba Johnson as
Jane Wade,
This characterization ot
small-town people is clean, naturally
funny, true-to-llfe, and will tae very entertaining on t h e evening of May 27.

Aren't Girls the Limit?
The heat danced in waves before her
eyes. Sister felt the heat both in body
and soul. Her scratched arms and hands
were busy picking raspberries as slie
moved down the long row of bushes fllling the baskets and placing tliem in the
crates ready for tlie alter supper delivery.
There were four of these long rows,
and Chub liad promised to pick two;
taut instead lie had sneaked away to join
tlie members of his basketball team.
When lie came home he would be p u n ished, but Sister would pick the berries. This was not the flrst time she
had done his share wliile he took the
punishment and went cheerfully to bed.
But Sister liad been invited to join a
bunch of girls tills afternoon to go berrying in a nearby woods, not for dollar
and cent but for pleasure and adventure;
if she had to pick Cliub's share she
couldn't go.
As slie neared the end of tlie rows she
became more determined slie would not
pick Chub's. She placed her last box
in the crate, looked back at the house,
and ran to join tiie girls.
As Chub, whistling a popular tune,
was coming down the hill toward home
and supper, he was surprised by Sister's
Joining liim at the meadow gate.
"Wliere have you been?" he asked.
"Out in the woods with the girls," she
answered.
"Did you pick the berries?"
"I picked my siiare, but not yours."
"Oil, Gee! Now I suppose I'll have to
take two lickens. A fellow always has
to take a girl's lickin'. Ain't that just
like a girl to taawl tilings u p ? "
"I'll take my own llckins, thank you,
Mr. Chub," replied Sister snappily.
"Didn't mother tell you to stay till
they were all picked? Wliat did you r u n
away for? Girls are supposed to mind
their mothers."
"Where do you get that stuff?
I
picked my share. Mother told you to
stay, too, taut you ran away."
As they stepped on the porch the half
fllled crate stared at them. When they
entered the house grave looks greeted
them—from both parents.
"Where have you been, son?"
"Playin' baseball," said Chub.
"Ran away," quickly replied his sister.
"I picked mine but I'm all done doin'
Chub's."
"I'll take her lickin'," offered Chub.
"She's just a girl."
"I'll take my own llckin's," responded
Sister.
"You can't correct it that way, son. It
sounds noble to offer to bear the punishment, but how noble was it to r u n
away and let her do the work?" Sister
will have to go to bed after supper for
disobeying mother. You will have to fill
the crate if you have to do it by lantern j
light. Put some cookies in your pocket
and go to work."
|

As Chub worked he raved on ataout
girls. How many baskets was that? Only
six. Ten more to do and it was nearly
dark already.
Turning back, he stumbled over something and lieard Sister giggle. "They
can't see me," she whispered. "Mother
tucked me in bed, but I can get back
without taeing caught. I'll help you.
Chub. I won't do it for you, b u t I'll
do it with you."
Sister was right, he thought, b u t of
course it wouldn't do to let her know.
But weren't girls the limit thougli?

Handsome New Catalogs in
Strong Demand
Lucky is the undergraduate who has
had a good, long look a t t h e fifty-first
annual catalog of Central State Normal
School, both because of its very real
beauty and because of the great demand
from prospective students, which iias
kept the offlce force busy mailing copies
just as fast as the printer has taeen atale
to supply them. Two thousand copies
went out In the flrst mailing, a record
number, of course, and hundreds have
been mailed almost daily since.
Tliroughout the year inquiries by hundreds had come to the offlce. These inquirers received flrst attention.
That
flrst mailing stimulated such a demand
tliat the original order has had to be
increased several times.
Beautifully Printed
Tlie catalog is unquestionably the
handsomest the school has Issued. It is
bound in leather-grained taupe fabric,
witli reinforcing fly-leaves in lighter
fabric. The eighty-two pages, 'almost
double the number last year, are beautiful examples of attractive typesetting,
and the tliirty-three photographs, all new
this year, show almost every angle ot
scliool life.
New Features
Outstanding features not found In
previous catalogs are the many pages devoted to the special kindergarten training which only Lock Haven has been
authorized to offer in Pennsylvania, the
addition of the four-year curricula for
degrees in all courses, facsimiles of the
certiflcate presented to tliis institution
last year authorizing it to grant college
degrees, a helpful tabulation of the total
cost of normal school education here, the
new requirements for admission and certiflcation, and an ampllfled sketch of the
school buildings and school life.
Among the many Illustrations are a
scene from the Senior play this year;
twelve views of training school activities, from regular class work to the May
Day pageant; the glee cluta, the orchestra, the girls' taaskettaall and hockey
teams, the boys' football and taaskettaall
squads, etc.

"Yes, ma'am, I can do anything from
scrutabing floors to knitting socks. My
last mistress told me that I was about
the best hired girl she ever had, and
believe me, that's saying something.
"Yes's, the reason I left is taecause they
just didn't have the wages I asked for.
Her husband is a lazy good-for-nothing,
and he just sits around all his spare time
instead of trying to earn a little something. I don't intend to work for n o t h ing.
"The mistress she was pretty crank at
times, too. She often bawled me out,
and that's a thing I just won't stand
for. I'm old enough to tell whether I'm
doing a thing right or not.
"Yes'm . . . No'm . . . Well, it
was like this: One Monday morning
when I had a big washing to do (they
always did have the biggest washes)
well, their little son Jack was pestering
me a powerful lot. I got sort of mad,
you know, like any one does, and I
dipped Jack up and down in a tub ot
water maybe three times. The missus
had to come in just then, and did slie
land on me! Why, she bawled me out
so I felt like a two-cent piece.
"After that was all over, well, I told
lier I wouldn't stay under her roof two
niinutes longer. That is part of tlie reason I lelt. After I said that, she said
slie couldn't pay the wages I wanted
anyliow.
"It was a pretty nice place, though,
taut they didn't seem to treat me like
one of the family. They have a swell
auto, which isn't paid for yet and between you and I, I don't believe it ever
will be, and, mind you, they never took
me for a ride in it once. Guess they
tliink they're better t h a n me.
"And another thing I didn't like was
tliat tliey made me do too much work.
No matter how much I had to do, she
always made me dust the whole downstairs every day. You know It isn't good
on the furniture to dust it too often,
and their furniture—well, it was bought
on llie instalment plan, and if it holds
together until all the Instalments is paid,
all I have to say is they'll be lucky.
"We just dust twice a week at home.
Ma said she couldn't afford to tae buying
new furniture every whipstitch. 'Course,
every one has their own ideas ataout such
tilings.
"They were the only people I ever
worked for who squatabled so much over
nothing. Once wlien they were having
a big fussing time I went in, and mind
you, the missus put her arms around her
husband just as quick, and said, 'Of
course I'll go to the movies tonlglit, dear.'
You see? Deceiving like. Believe me,
when my ma and pa starts to squabble,
they don't stop for nothing.
"Funny folks, them Smiths were.
Why . . ."
(The telephone bell rings . . . I n terlude).
"Your husband got a maid lor you,
and he's bringing her out tonight? Well,
if t h a t aint just like a man. You needn't tell me how you feel about it. I haint
married myself, but I know just how it
goes. I bet if I was I'd soon train him
not to go interfering in my work.
"Oh, that's all right.
Sure . . .
But don't forget. If you ever need me
to help you out some time I live right
out at the end of Chubb Street. Just
ask for Snyders; any one can show you.
The folks would be right glad to see you.
Just you come out.
"Goodbye."

Girl's Glen Road Is Improved
The road between tlie main building
and the training school, leading up Girl's
Glen was repaired by the City Commissioners this last week. It was In a
very bad condition, taeing covered with
cinders and full of holes. It supplied
the training school with an unlimited
supply of dirt, but now it Is a wellgraded, smooth, clean street.
All the drives and roads ataout t h e
school could tae Improved also, and it
would add much to tlie appearance of our
school.

Psychologists Hear Dr. Blanchard at Banquet
{Continued from Page 1)
Miss Merrells, in presenting the guest
of honor, spoke of her work witli the late
G. Stanley Hall, president of Clark University. Dr. Armstrong emphasized the
fact t h a t the teachers must have t h e
closest co-operation of the parents as
well as other factors in the community
which tend to t h e welfare of the child:
the church, the press, and the children
ill school.
Ursula Ryan, Johnstown, Pa., acted
as toastmistress.
Dorothy Bickel, of Lock Haven, gave an
interesting account ot the administration of the intelligence tests by Miss
Merrells in 19 one-room schools of Clinton County. A total of 1,500 tests were
administered.
Mrs. J. Franklin Long, M.A., who has
been a special student in psycliology this
year, gave a resume of the first year's
work, telling of the preparations made by
Miss Merrells for the Health Conference
conducted by Dr. Mary Riggs Noble, last
December, and the mental, personality,
education, motor and rhythm tests administered to the pre-school children by
the members of the class.
Beatrice Mokle, Ethel Dechant and
Emily Sayers reviewed the various handbooks used in the Child Psychology
classes. Miss Jessie Scott Himes, director of Group I, returned after a long illness; Misses Rowe, Phillips, and Mr. Gage
also made short talks.

Gives Tests in Training School
The members of the Educational

their work practical by giving intelligence tests in the training school. Various committees have been appointed in
the class for the different grades. The
committees have the administration of
tile test and correction and grading entirely in their own hands.
Tlie class, under Mr. McDougall, has
planned to give reading tests after the
work on the Intelligence tests has taeen
completed.
In the case of the Intelligence tests,

from swinging barrel staves.
Pat registered at the university in

They rushed him. Of course they showed
him tlie addresses of local taootleggers.
A few days ago twenty-flve strangers
arrived In Payetteville and pounced u p on eighteen bootleggers. They were taken
before the United States commissioner.
A crew of abashed young collegians was
also present.
"What do we do with these papers?"
the students asked.
"These are witness subpoenas. That
means you testify against those fellows
who have been selling liquor to you."
Here one of the students interrupted
with, "Look, there's old Murph over there

Hey, Pat!

Illinois Education Club, which was
founded in 1909. On June 8, 1911, this
society became incorporated as an honorary educational fraternity. Witli this
as a nucleus the organization grew steadily until there are now 37 chapters scattered all over the United States.
Alpha Eta Chapter was installed at
Cape Girardeau, Mo., on April 25, 1925.

The Naturalist Club held a very charming Spring Frolic party In tlie gym, Saturday evening, April 9. Those attending

The day-room boys held a picnic Saturday, May 21, along the bank of Bald
Eagle Creek, a siiort distance below the
old covered bridge whicli is being removed to permit the construction of a
modern bridge. It wasn't to watch tlie
bridge workers tliat the D. R. B.'s chose
this place, but because it was tlie scene
of last year's picnic.
A means of transportation was provided by Rishel Karchner who donated the
use of his truck. Some of the gang,
upon reaching the Flemington Boat
House, liired canoes and paddled up the
canal and creek to the picnic site. The
eats committee, composed of Walt Miller, chairman, Max Bossert and Bucky
Harris, had an abundance of provisions
which were consumed without any waste.
All then engaged in either canoeing
or swimming during tlie afternoon. The
swimming, liowever, proved a somewhat
chilly sport and was taken in small doses.
The Senior members, Clyde Swoyer,

added to the list of Alumni members.

J. H. S. Organizes Track Team
Sororities Pledge New Members
Before Easter vacation the Alpha Sigma
T a u and t h e Bho Omega Lamtada sororities gave o u t six talds to membership.
Initiations did not start until after they
returned. These pledges attended the
sorority b a n q u e t s and became acquainted with many of t h e Alumni who returned.
The pledges were: A. S. T.—Kathleen
Spangler and Berenice Hammer.
j j O. L.—Lucille Rosa, Louise Young,
Winifred Harmon, Beatrice Mokle.

The Junior High School boys, under
the supervision of Gordon E. McCloskey,
have organized a track team. Tlie purpose of the team is to make a taeginning
in tlie fundamentals of track rather t h a n
the development of a winning team. The
boys at the present time are devoting
their efforts to the dashes, broad Jump,
high Jump and pole vault. An interclass meet is planned for the future, b u t
as yet no arrangements have taeen made
for participation in outside meets. This
is a new thing lor the J. H. S. and ought
to tae a step forward In the development
of good sportsmanship and athletics.

At the beginning of the Thanksgiving
vacation the Brothers of the Cold Blood
met. and a motion made by the writer
was uiiaiiimously accepted.
Tlie assembly immediately adjourned and the
members got busy.
By nine o'clock
everything was stowed away in tiie old
Nash, wliereafter each of the bretliren
hit the hay.
By four o'clock we were all up, and
by five we were taking in tlie scenic
beauties of the Coudersport Pike at
forty-five an hour. We ran over two
rattlesnakes, took Ineffective potsiiots at
some grouse, and brought down one rabbit witli a shot from the rear seat. We
sang "Sweet Adeline" until it soured,
got our eyes, ears, and mouth full of that
strong-scented Potter County road dust,
and broke our last record by pulling up
in the writer's driveway at 7:33, in time
for breakfast.
After fllling up on pancakes, syrup,
and coffee, the gang grabbed the guns:
I got two of our hounds, and we opened
war on a big slashing over the hill. Now
I come from Potter County, where rabbits are rabbits, and my dad regularly
kills more rabbits than any other man
in tlie township, so I know what real
rabbit-hunting is; taut I never saw anything like this before or since. It was a
nice cool morning; the sun was just
rising over the eastern ridge; you could
hear old Sport and Sooner a couple
miles; and rabbits
! All you had to
do was to sliut your eyes, point your
gun anywliere except straight up, pull
the trigger, and gather 'em in.
The Professor drew the first blood. I
kicked one out of a brushpile; bagged
him on the run. Buzz downed number
three. Then tlie firing became general.
Often the shots were following in such
rapid succession that they could not be
distinguished. The Battle of the Marne
may have been a noisy party, taut it did
not have a thing on this. The dogs did
their best to drown out the continuous
booming ot the shotguns, the coursing
of those who missed, the warwhoops of
those who killed, all mingled up with
the shrieks of "Here he comes!" and
"There lie goes!"
After about two hours the rabbits, deciding that discretion is the taetter part
of valor, changed their tactics, and hid
themselves behind woodpiles, pump stations, trees, anything big enougli to hide
a few hundred rabbits, from wliicli vantage-points they taegan to view with disdain our thin red-backed line of heroes.
Wlien they did venture forth their footwork was amazing. I remember particularly one large cottontail who drew
the whole group's flre and got away u n scatched. I heard him come galloping
and, raising my old LeFevre to my shoulder, drew a careful bead on him and
placed a perfect thirty-yard pattern on a
big pine stump that he liad Jumped behind.
After four exciting hours of wonderful hunting we readied a little clearing
hedged in tay young beeches, brownleaved from the early frost of the Alleglianies, where we called a halt and
held a powwow. It was a hot argument,
b u t it resulted in a return to my ranch
to absorb some more Potter County grub,
tliougli the return was broken once when,
going through a little patch of black-

LINTZ'S
Wearing

berry brush, we found a congregation
of cottontails holding something like a
family reunion. We collected six of
them, wliich fllled our limit.
Think it over; Four hours, six men,
thirtv rabbits. Rah, rah. Potter County!

A Wonderful Game
Oh, yes, tennis is a wonderful game.
To the onlooker who does not know a
tiling about it. It Is very simple, All that
you have to do, they say, is to bat tiie
ball taack and forth with those queer
taig paddles they call racquets, even
though once in a while you do seem to
liave to soar gracefully Into the air like
an aesthetic dancer to do it.
"Love-forty," some one says, and the
onlooker fails to see at all how hard it
is for the player to love any one at all
when he is getting licked t h a t badly,
"Are you ready?" the server cries, and
you determine to get that ball, go after
it witli all your might—miss it—and get
a near-fracture of the kneecap In the
attempt. Oh, it's a wonderful feeling.
I've experienced it, I know.
By this time your partner, it you have
one, is ready to guzzle you. He politely
tells you to watch yourself, and to hit
tlie next one up and over. But the next
one—you hit it; yes, you hit it, but with
such force that it dinges the ground on
your side of the net and rolls under.
You are blushing violently under your
sunburn.
But Just wait! A ball comes toward
you. With that never-say-die spirit, you
run up on it, gauge It, and return it
with a beautiful placement. You are
redeemed in your own eyes. You feel
like Trojan Helen herself, and with the
face ot one t h a t could launcli a thousand tennis balls you leave the court.
Yes, tennis is a wonderful game.

C. S. N, S. Holds to Precedent
The other day (it doesn't matter what
the exact date was) Coach Dyck took
some of the city league baseball players
up when tliey challenged the Normal
Scliool to a game.
The game was scheduled for 4 o'clock
but when 4 o'clock arrived not a Normal
student was in sight of the field, while
tlie city league players had taeen warming up for fully a half liour. However,
they came straggling on the fleld one or
two at a time till by half past four, eight
fellows had gathered. In order to make
up the nine it was necessary to enlist
every fellow on the fleld whether he come
to look on or to play.
Pinally "Bing" Miller came charging
down over tlie field to make the full
team. Russ Bohn was appointed catcher
because he had tlie catching glove on at
the time. Max Fitzsimmons was told to
pitch taecause he had the taasetaall cap
on. wliich it was thought might lead the
opponents to suspect that lie had played
taall taefore. Tommy Larkin was stationed at tliird base because he has a
long reach to nail the "Texas leaguers."
Jim Renninger was given the short stop
position for lie had the best glove. "Bing"
was the choice for a second taaseman because this player is handy to talk to the
pitcher. Bauman landed the initial sack
jota because no one else wanted it. Then
Bill Sweet, Tony Boyer, and Matt Shaw
were directed to do the running around
in the outfield because of their speed
and accuracy in spearing flies.
For the iirst two Innings those city
players didn't hit the taall out of t h e
Infleld while the Normal had piled up
four runs. Then the tables were turned.
It wasn't Miller's fault for he kept up
his line till the final Inning of play. The
high point of the game came when Bill
Sweet cauglit a long fly to keep from
taeing hit by it, when Bauman was
kidded into making a safe hit, and when
"Bing" slid into second base ripping his
trousers.
The game ended nine to flve in favor
of the side that didn't happen to tae C.
S. N. S. Had it taeen, a well-establislied
precedent would have been broken.

C HOICE OF AN OPPONENT
A player, especially a beginner, should
always seek, when possible, to play against
some one better t h a n himself or at least
as good. So many beginners play with
otliers weaker than themselves to satisfy
a foolish vanity for always being the
winner. A player should get out of the
habit of letting the desire to win at all
costs predominate in his practice games.
He would gain far more by paying attention to tlie practice of strokes, especially
those in wliich he is weak. Of course
this policy could be carried to an extreme wliich would rob the game of its
interest and fun.
msCOlRAGEMENT MUST BE
CONQUERED
Almost every player goes through periods of discouragement as his game develops. It is a t sucii time t h a t t h e player must get t h e flrmest grip on himself,
and not allow this feeling to pull him
down. As a matter of fact, this feeling,
in most cases Is without foundation, and
entirely a mental obsession. The player
is convinced t h a t months have passed
with no sign of improvement, while in
reality, an improvement Is going on of
which he is unconscious.
POINTS TO STRIVE FOR
The average player should form the
hatalt of studying his own strokes and
the results they are taringing, always with
the view of tauilding up his weaknesses.
He should strive for perfect form in all
his strokes and footwork. This does not
mean a flxed standardized style, for two
totally different styles may tae equally
true to form. To possess true tennis
form, one must have the ability to make
all his shots with a natural ease, a full,
free, easy swing, and above all make his
shots from the correct position. That is,
the feet should be so placed and t h e body
weight so distributed that every shot is a
perfectly natural one and carries with it
no awkwardness or cramping of swing.
A player with true tennis form is always
a graceful one and makes his strokes
with apparently no effort.

Poise, good temper, and control of
feelings are necessary to good tennis.
They are even more necessary than
science. Throwing down one's racket and
growling only increases one's nervousness. Condition, as well as in any other
game, counts for much in tennis, b u t endurance plays an equal part. Agility is
especially necessary in tennis. Tennis is
natural, not artifleial. When one has
mastered the essentials of the game he
should fall Into the style that comes
naturally to him.

By Dent Bowser
A FEW CAUTIONS
One of the most essential points in
tennis is never to play the game when
not in tlie humor for It, or when in a
state of partial physical exhaustion, A
player should form the habit of stopping when tliere Is still a desire left for
more. Flaying too much tennis at one
time, and too often, tarings ataout excessive heart strain, together with too
great a physical tension generally. Even
though a player is able to stand this
strain, he will Inevitably go stale. This
is tiie greatest misfortune in tennis as
in all other forms of athletics. A most
natural tendency for one keen about t h e
game is to play too much at one time,
and too frequently. He gradually knocks
the edge olT his game in this condition,
and the tennis he plays Is doing more
harm t h a n good.

Visual Education Subject of
Chapel Talk
In Chapel on Friday morning, April 8,
Dr. C. F. Hoban, of the State Department In charge of Visual Education, gave
a most Instructive talk.
He brought out forcibly the great part
the eyes play In the gaining of knowledge, though not merely through the
printed pages. Dr. Hotaan pointed out
how much greater an Impression is made
from seeing a thing t h a n in Just reading about it. Dr. Hoban urged seeing
things flrst-hand rather than simply seeing them reproduced through pictures.
He asked the students as they go out to
teach, to help further the visual education movement. He announced t h a t a
State tauUetin is to tae Issued soon, which
will point out the most worth-while
things in the commonwealth.

Naturalists Entertained by Mr.
and Mrs. Ulmer
Through the steady down-pour ot rain,
trod the happy children for a good time
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ulmer, Susquehanna Ave., Saturday evening. May
14. Did they have a good time? Well,
Just ask any memtaer ol the Naturalist
Club.
They all came, bringing a pillow with
them as they had taeen instructed to do.
One room had taeen arranged as a
studio, and into this they all went. Naturalists were everywhere, on chairs, davenports and floors.
On one side of the room was a "screen"
prepared for the showing of slides. These
slides were made from pictures which Mr.
and Mrs. Ulmer had collected while on
their western trip last sunimer. All
profited tay this trip because Mr. Ulmer
explained each picture and told interesting facts about the Enos Mills' Lodge.
This was followed tay a few articles read
Irom one of Mr. Mills' books.
During this reading, several of the n a ture lovers had a contest to see which
one could eat the most chocolate covered almonds. Rose Bower came out In
the lead, with Russ Bohn and Frizzle
Pelt tied for secorid.
Among those present were: Ann Else,
1925; Dors Detwiler, 1925; Caroline Wein,
1924; Peg Larkin, 1924, Alumni members of the Naturalist Cluta.

Second Demonstration
in Psychology Testing
The second public demonstration of
the testing of the intelligence of very
young cliildren was held on Thursday,
May 12, at the Central State Normal
School. The tests were administered tay
Miss Minnie Jane Merrells, Department
ot Psychology and Education. The sutaJects were Harold Protast, son of Mr. and
Mrs. H. L. Protast, and Arthur and Anna
Bauman, children of Dr. and Mrs. Clair
S. Bauman.
"Sonny" Protast, aged nineteen months,
was the flrst tested. Among the tests
given were those for audition tay means
of a telgraphic snapper and clapping the
hands behind the ears; binocular co-ordination, which is a test of vision, in
which the batay's eyes followed moving
objects, viz. a candle and a flashlight;
and the ability to balance the head in
sitting and standing unsupported. I n all
ol these tests "Sonny" responded in a
most satisfactory manner.
When shown how to ring a small bell,
he very quickly imitated the performance, and clung tenaciously to the bell
during the remainder of the test. He
also demonstrated his ability to grasp
and ruta a pencil on paper, to drink from
a glass ot water, and to eat taread and
milk from a spoon, although unable to
handle the spoon himself.
When given a piece of bread soaked in
vinegar, lie immediately showed his dislike for the taste in no uncertain m a n ner tay spitting it out, and was reluctant
to accept the lump of sugar offered him
afterward. Wlien asked to repeat some
words, he showed reluctance, taut later
volunteered several remarks such as
"daddy, mamma, kitty, doggy," showing
quite plainly t h a t he is well atale to express himself as well as the average twoyear old.
His responses througliout were given
without hesitation. He is a typical example of what psychologists call tiie
extrovert. The "hit" of tlie afternoon occurred when Mr. Swoyer, a psychology
student, was called to him by Miss Merrells.
In implanlng tones "Sonny"
called, "Daddy, bye, bye."
Arthur Bauman, who was taorn Just
four hours after "Sonny," was given a
similar test, and responded very satisfactorily to all. In t h e responses of the
two children there was shown, however,
a very striking difference in personality.
"Sonny" responded immediately, and was
very ready to t u r n from one test to the
next. Arthur, on the other hand, showed
a decided tendency to concentrate upon
one of the toys given him, and to examine it thoroughly and to his own satisfaction before turning to anything else.
He was very mucli annoyed tay the
flashlight test for binocular co-ordination, wliich interrupted ills examination
ol a brightly colored rattle, and his expression said very plainly, "Take that
thing away and don't bother me." His

tests showed t h a t Arthur expressed himself as well as the average two-year-old.
Anna Bauman, the third sutaject, three
and a half years old, was born in Calcutta, India. She very quickly demonstrated her advance in development over
the younger boys. In using a pencil, in
recognizing pictures, in feeding herself,
and in the rhythmical manner in which
slie rang the bell, she showed t h a t she
had made good use of her etxra months.
Instead of using isolated words, she
formed well constructed, complete sentences, and was never at a loss to express her meaning, clearly and distinctly.
After exhausting the Keuhlmann tests
for small children. Miss Merrells administrated the BInet-Simon tests for three,
four, and five, most of which Anna
passed splendidly, and answered some
of the questions for the sixth and seventh years. Some of her replies were
exceedingly original, and a few of t h e m
"brought down the house," which did
not annoy her in the least. On being
asked her name, she whispered to Miss
Merrells "Anna." When requested to
speak louder so that all might hear, she
yelled, "My name Is Anna Bauman." Another time when asked what she would
do if she were going somewhere and
missed the street car, she replied without hesitation, "I ride in Daddy's car.
I don't ride in a street car; I Just hear
them pass." And again when quizzed
as to what she would do if slie were
playing on the street and it would rain.
She said, "I'm not allowed to play on
the street. I play on the sand pile in
the taackyard and on the sidewalk. I'm
not allowed to play in the rain either."
One or two colors she could not distinguish, taut she showed superior ability
in matching colors or recognizing that
they were of the same shade. The curiosity instinct was manifest in her minute
examination of a rattle.
To every one of the
dents present these

What are those kids doing out there, screaming and yelling at
the tops of their voices? It's funny to
me that people can't keep their kids
home on Sunday afternoon when a body
wants to sleep. TU fix them; I'll Just
pull the window down.
Oh, dear, I can't stand that; I'll suffocate. Til pull down the blind Instead.
Maybe that'll help a little.
Well, who in the world would pound
like that on my door? I'm not supposed
to hear them; I'm asleep. What did they
want to wake me up for anyway? Probably wanted to borrow something. There,
now, I guess they're gone.
Gee, I'm sleepy; believe I could sleep
for a week straight ahead without stopping. Guess that's all I'll do vacation
time. Just sleep. Oh, darn!! There's
that gang coming back already and I
didn't get to sleep at all. I'll pretend
I'm asleep—no, that won't work with this
crowd.
Why, hello. Yes, I had the taest nap.
Did you have a lively time viewing the
remains? You didn't snatch any flowers
off the graves, did you?
What? Gee, that must tae a funny
cemetery—wisht I'd gone along, only I
was so sleepy. The people are all In little drawers, and you can pull out the
drawers and look at them? I suppose
they are all tabulated and arranged in
flies alphabetically, something like the
library. If I wasn't so sleepy Td go up
now and look at them. But I guess they
won't run away. Gee, I'm sleepy.

Where are you going? To the graveyard? Weil, t h a t sounds like a cheerful

I'd rather stay here and sleep.
Well, I'll walk down to the front entrance with you.
Why, yes, I taelieve I will go up to the

wonderful graveyard, anyway? Oh, I see;
is t h a t it up there? And this down here

OUR OWN LITTLE DIARY
Monday, April S.'S
Spent the flrst part of the day at home.
S p e n t the remainder of the day here. I
hated like sin to leave home, but what
is there to do? The gang was sort of
s t u n n e d when they saw me. You'd think
I was a ghost or something. I'm very
much alive at the present time.
Tuesday, April 2C
Went to classes. Only three today,
t h a t ' s not so bad. It's days like this
t h a t I really could go six. Such weather,
I never saw the luck. Was going to play
tennis, but talk about rain, it poured.
Heck! I have enough to do to keep a
regiment busy.
Wednesday, April 27
Rain and more rain! Classes are as
interesting as ever.
Got up with t h e breakfast bell tills
morning. I certainly moved around. By
t h e time I arrived at the dining hall I
was all out of breath. Planned to go
down town, but I didn't. Walking to
town in the rain isn't my line.
Thursday, April 28
Not so many classes. Spent all my
leisure hours in the library working on
History of Ed. I've written and read so
m u c h that I don't feel natural. I have
it almost done, b u t not quite. That one
Encyclopedia of Education Is in demand.
You think you almost have it and it's
gone. I got tired waiting for it and left
the litarary disgusted.
Friday, April 2!)
Played tennis. Happened to have the
wrong kind of shoes on, so we were
forced to give up the pleasure. It's a
fine time to post a sign when you're already on t h e court and playing.
Pinally I landed the much sought after book for History of Ed. I almost
sat on it to hang on to it. I felt as
t h o u g h I had accomplished something
when I did get it. Now my questions
are flnished and I can tareathe freely for
a week at least.
Saturday, April 30
Another week-end to spend in tills
place. I don't mind the week days, taut
I could scream when Saturday and Sunday float around. Received a package
from home. Everything tasted flne. The
cake went awfully quick. I left the
gang for awhile and went visiting. I
guess they thought I was trying to gyp
t h e m from something to eat. They almost tore the tauilding down looking for
me. I thought, or I hoped they would
help themselves. Something struck them,
for they waited for me.
My roomie was taken to the infirmary
this afternoon. The room seems empty,
I hope she comes taack pretty soon, for
gosh! I miss her.
•Sunday, May 1
My roomie came back this morning.
All t h e emptiness of the room has vanished. I'm so stiff it isn't even funny.
I'll be so glad when this meet is over.
Tills is the only day we don't hear t h a t

piece for exercises. It's a relief. Every
class In t h e gym means one more for me.
Monday, May 2
Our last month of school and maybe
I'm not glad. Going to school Is getting
so monotonous that a rest wiil be most
welcome. This gang up here is getting
crazy. Tlie sign we posted didn't seem
to work. Maybe "detour" doesn't mean
anything—traffic seems to be as heavy
as usual.
No mail. I'm getting used to t h a t now.
Pretty soon I won't even look for any.
Went out tonight for the flrst time in
ages.
Tuesday, May 3
Talk ataout luck! Being Irish hasn't
any hearing on tlie subject at all. Was
out playing tennis and gave my knee
one heck of a twist. I went weak all
over. Almost knocked my shoulder out
too. I'm in a flne way now. I've also
developed an educated limp. Every one
that walks with me limps too.
Heard from Totty today. Newsy letters aren't in it with hers.
Wednesday, May 4
Nothing doing all day. Gee this place
is exciting. Tried to write a letter and
I'll be darned if I knew what to write.
Couldn't flnd a thing to expostulate on.
The Seniors practiced for the meet. It
seemed funny not to be with them going
through it all. Talk ataout crazy. By
the looks of things they can't settle down
to a thing. Wonder if we have a chance
of winning?
Thursday, May 5
This place is fairly bubbling over with
excitement. I'll be glad when this meet
is over. We've had it rather easy though,
when you think it over.
Only had a few classes today. That
one is enough for all of t h e m put together.
I'm having a little trouble navigating.
Had my knee bandaged. Almost cookeu
it with t h a t light. It was hotter than
all get out.
Friday, May G
The Junior-Senior meet is over. The
Juniors won with due honors. The meet
was pretty even all the way through I
thought. We lived it all over again in
our room afterwards. We had more fun
than a circus. I think tiie crowd has
gone crazy. Try to get anything sensible
out of them. Our spirits weren't dampened in t h e least by the results. Skip
went to t h e Inflrmary. Tiie second one
out of the crowd, tay heck! Who is going to be next?
.Saturday, May T
Left this noon for our week-end trip.
I enjoyed myself immensely. Seemed so
good not to tae in early or to wait for tiie
lights to go off and what not. Saw the
cleverest dancer.
He certainly could
dance. We were home late considering
tiie hours down here but early any place
else. There was also a good movie. Saw
the big city of State today, too.

I almost wasn't. We were riding along
in the car and all of a sudden the door
opened. I don't know what kept me from
landing out of the car. I was suspended for a second on my imagination, I
guess.
Sunday, IMay 8
Mother's Day!
We roamed around town for awhile
with the kids and then went home. Had
some of the taest fudge.
We came back on the 9:15. Had an interesting talk with M.'s history teacher.
Walked up to school and had an accident
down on the crossing. We almost died
laughing. It was too funny for words.
After I came in I got all the dirt
about the dance. Evidently every one had
a howling good time. Seemed rather
funny to miss one of these dances.
Monday, May !)
Nothing much happened today. Down
town, everything looks the same as usual.
Went to two meetings. I'm so glad when
Monday night is over. We were cutting
up a little too much I guess, anyhow we
got our calls. The looks t h a t were thrown
in our direction I suppose we were to
consider "frosting." I refused to tae
frozen, however.
Tuesday, May 10
Another one of those nights that you
can't go out. They seem to roll round
quite frequently. Danced in tiie Gym
for the flrst time since about two weeks
before vacation. Tliat's a record for me.
I could hardly make my feet move the
way I wanted them to.
Wednesday, >Iay 11
Another night to amuse myself around
the school. There's a lot of amusement
here, and I don't mean perhaps.
I
amused myself two hours doing my History of Ed. Can't say t h a t I like to entertain myself t h a t way. I know lots of
things a lot more interesting.
Thursday, May 13
My arm is almost broken. I'm acqulriiig Icnowledge at the expense of my riglit
arm. Finished my History of Ed. questions. I'll be a walking History of Ed.
Book. Got a package from home. The
candy was delicious, so were the other
things.
Friday, May 13
I'm considering myself lucky. I almost didn't stir out of my room all day.
I think I'm safe now. Well, at last I
did finish my test. Seems too good to
tae true. We were down town. Something happened, it would. Listened to
tile orchestra play. They were good.
.Saturday, Jlay 14
This miseratale weather Is enough to
make a Christian lose his religion. I
can't understand why it waits until the
end of the week before it pours. Well,
pour, and see who cares.
We stopped in and played some records
at the music store. Cookies got big hearted and bought one. Most of the crowd
are out this week end, seems rather
dead.
Sunday, May 13
Loafed around all day as usual. Studied
my story between acts, I hope I know
it now. Read a couple magazines. Nothing else happened t h a t was too exciting.

Parent-Teachers Clubs Urged
by State Teachers
Parent-Teachers' Associations taring
the school into closer touch with the
community tlian any other means, securing for the teachers a degree of understanding and co-operation at home which
re-enforces tremendously all that she is
attempting to do in school. This sums
up the reasons with whicli Mrs. Geor^-3
S. Prockler, of Johnstown, vice-president
of Pennsylvania's State Parent-Teachers' Federation, urged every teacher to'
make sure t h a t such an organization
exist or is formed in the school in which
slie will teach.
Mrs. Fockler's talk, at the morning
chapel exercise, touched a new subject
for such programs, and made a decided
impression. Admitting tliat there are
parent-teacher associations which have
failed to function, Mrs. Fockler went into some detail concerning weaknesses in
program-planning, organization,
and
leadership which can cause such failure.
Properly organized associations do not
fail, she said; weakly organized associations, weakly lead, are bound to fail,
whatever their nature. Such failures can
hardly be charged up to the movements,
whatever their nature, with which they
are connected.
Mrs. Fockler guaranteed the willingness
of the State Federation of Parent-Teachers' Associations to co-operate in the organization of such associations anywhere; and very briefly suggested how
much valuable assistance, in the planning of programs of activity. Interesting
meetings, etc., the state association is
ready to render.
Mrs. Fockler had been visiting her son,
a student at Pennsylvania State College.
Her interest in tiie worlc had caused her
to interrupt that visit in order to carry
the federation's greeting and good wishes
to the future teachers here in this neighboring institution.

The flrst play, "The Truth Party," by
Bell Elliot Palmer, typified very well
some similar t r u t h parties which have
taeen held in the dormitory perhaps under
another name. The scene was laid In the
living room of the home of Mrs. Jane
Fitzsimmons, who was entertaining her
taridge cluta. As a diversion, one of the
members suggested a t r u t h party much
against the wishes of the hostess. Aunt
Felicia appeared upon the scene just in

catty. She succeeded in establishing
friendly relations between the members
of the club before the party was over.

mime, a milkmaid, a tallndman, a taallad singer, and a headsman, who were
on their way to the decapitation of the
queen, visited the little boy. The clocks
struck twelve before the headsman found
the queen. The taoy was rewarded well
for saving the queen.
Gwen Stringfellow made a delightful
taoy. No one could wear royal rotaes more
becomingly t h a n Mary Margaret Adams.
The part of the blind man was very
well played by Geraldine Donahue. The
audience was both surprised and pleased
with Ethel Daubert's solo.

A steak and weiner roast was held in
Boy's Glen, Sunday evening. May 1, by
the sub-Normal flve—Paul Vonada, Rus
Bohn, Al Hobtaa, John Varner and Bill
Sweet.
Up the Glen, over into the valley beyond the two cemeteries. In the woods
to the lelt of the road where flows a
cool spring, a small flre^ burned in the
center of a patch raket. free of leaves.
The fellows wandered around and visited until there was a good taed of coals,
meanwhile cutting skewers upon which
to roast the meat. As it sizzled and fried
over the flre they spread the buns. After endless turnings and applications of
salt the steak was done. Good? Yumm-m—tender, juicy. Just right! While
devouring this the next Installment fried
away over the coals.
Bohn did the Barr act, consuming
three steak, six weiner sandwiches and
drinking tlie remainder ol the catsup
