LOCK HAVEN, PA., AUGUST 13, 1925
IN FALLfROLLMENT
The west (loriiiifor.v is sold out for
the fall of I92;'), sold out completely,
not one half-room left, and the registrations for next term are still jiouring
in. For the lirst time, it is lielieved, in
the history of this Normal School, girls
are being placed in the east dormitory,
formerly sacred to the other half of the
human family. Mrs. Cresswell has located forty girls in second floor east for
this coming year, and it seems entirely
likel.y that that floor will be fllled to
overllowing by this time next month,
when we return to serious liusiness.
The advance registrations, counting
onl.y those who have come through with
the necessary fees, at this time is somewhat more than double the number of
registrations last fall. It is fond reasoning to predict that the enrollment for
September will therefore be doubled;
but it is reasonably safe to say that
the number of students will be probably fift.v per cent greater than last
fall. Dr. Armstrong will enter ou his
tirst full year as principal with assurances that the schoolmen of this district
and the alumni of this school have valued
his work at its worth, and that they are
behind the encouragement that is urging high school graduates this way.
In every way this coming year will
be a record-breaker. The enrollment of
bo,ys is increasing in the same proportion as that of the girls. The football
prospects, against a schedule of opjionents from our own class of schools, are
excellent.
The concert course—and
Lock Haven has become somewhat famous for the quality of its offerings—
will be better than last year's and apparently better than even the flrst artist's program of 192,'i. The faculty will
be increased. The territory from which
students come to us has enlarged itself,
students registering already from counties from which no one has come to us
in years. Alma Mater is looking ahead
to this coming year with a smile of assured contentment.

STUDENT COUNCILS

to be able to listen for a few brief minutes to the valuable advice given b.v
him.
Several items of his advice given to
the student body are well worth listing.
He stated that his talk was not listed in
the contract with Mr. Armstrong but
like all school teachers there are so man.y
things to be done whieh are not mentioned in the contracts.
One of the greatest problems of all
school teachers is that of discipline. It
has airead.v been stated b,v nian.y persons that disciplinarians are born and
not made. This may be true, but every
worth while teacher must be up to date.
This can be done only b.y the use of
educational tools. Ibigazines are a great
help. The methods should become your
own and not the writers.
Teachers entering the profession must
remember that teaching is not a lazy
man's ,ioli. Being interested in other
jieople's work makes interest in our
own.
The most lonel.y school building may
be made the happiest place.

The Normal team departed to do battle vvitli Muncy Normal on the diamond
at 1 o'clock Aug. 1:!, 1925. During the
anxious time until the players returned
the expectancy of the students a t school
ran high, as this was the flrst game
played by Normal team with an out of
town team.
The final score, 16-1, proved t h a t the
Normalites were just as aggressive on
the offense as on the defense.
The game was close for the first two
innings, but one run being scored in
each. The third saw a decided change
in action, 12 runs being scored in this
inning. The game had been won now

players were busy to the end.
Credit can be given to the Muncy
lilayers who faced the bombardment
supplied by Sones, who succeeded in hitting "only a few" of the opposing batters. The catcher suffered the loss of
a finger nail and ad.ioiiiing parts of the
linger.
The lo.val Normal rooters, who started soon after the team in a popular
model car, arrived in time to congratulate the winners. A series of a bakers

Vanity Cases Volleyed Down
by Shingle Bobs
The game of volle.y ball has surely
wrecked the jieace of the .students of
C, S. N. S. i l r . Harold A'anArsdale,
Captain of the Vanity (.!ases, suffered a
defeat at the hands of the Shingle Bobs.
The series consisted of three gaines
per day for the week of Aug. .'! to 8.
The Vanit.y Cases took the lead in the
first two days, but were tied at the close
of Thursday's battle.
Friday was the deciding day. The
\'aiiit.y Cases were so excited fhey were
of every hue. The Shingle Bobs were
neatly groomed but not jiolished. The
game was finally on. The Vanity Cases
took the lead at first, but the Shingle
Bobs came through with the game. The
next game went to the Vanity Cases,
due to the over-confidence and vanity of
the other side, whereupon vanity was
not allowed.
One more game yet remained and the
series was not decided. Who could win
was now the question. Each side settled down to heroic eft'orts. Great was
the battle, the Shingle Bobs emerging
victorious.
Draw Pairs for Tennis
Tournament
.Arrangements have been completed
for a tennis tournament to be held for
the last week at school. The events
are to be boy's singles iind girl's singles.
.\mong the entrants among the boys
tire Reuben Moose, champion in '2.S;
Andy Flesher, one of the close contestants for last .year's championship and
numerous other players of a high class.
None of the girl's title holders are
back so the games here are in open
question. Many of the players, though
new to the game, show surprising abilit.v, iind the quality of the unknown
makes interest greater.
First matches are as follows:
Durner-Hudson ; Harpster-Bye.
Benigni-Flesher; Pierson-Johnston.
Wirtner-Dudley; Farwcll-Croyle.
Boher-Williams; Booth-Adam.
Kandi'iich-Moose; Winkleblech-Bcck.

Superintendent Akeley Addresses Students
For a few brief minutes Thursday,
Aug, •), the students of C, S. N. S. were
iifforded the pleasure of hearing the
most excellent address given by Superintendent Akeley, of Potter County.
His few remarks clearly told that he
understands the perplexing questions
which arise for all scliool teachers. Being located in one of the great forest
regions of our state, he said, this county,
which was at one time covered with a
mass of pines and many hardwood trees,
presents now a different scene. The last
tliree of the original pines has been
hauled away. Regardless of this many
tourists still visit this county annually,
for it is the home of the brook trout.
Supt. Akeley had one big thought to
convey. I t was "The School Will Be No
Better at Any Time Than the Teacher
Makes It."

The final session of the children's

titteiidance during the six weeks of the
term has been very good in consideration of distracting sunimer influences.

Penn, Robb, and jiarochial schools of
this city were enrolled as well as many

Each of the children received a rejiort of the work done during the summer for the inspection of the piirents.
Duplicate reports will be sent to the
Jiublic school teachers in line with the
co-operative basis on which the summer
work is being done. Many children
have taken advantage of the demonstration school to "make u p " work missed
during the year and to continue their
work without demotion. The work offered was based on the state course of
study, thus bringing it into full harnion.v with the work in the winter elementary schools.
The faculty of the demonstration
school has been of the highest order,
says Roy S. MacDougall, director. Instructors whose experience has furnished many contacts with other demonstration schools have made many
gratifying comments fo Mr. MacDougall
on the work of the deinonstration faculty.
Miss Naiic.y Woodworth gave many
demonstrations illustrative of types of
procedure in kindergarten work and in

Health Class Taught by Students
The classes in Persontil and School
Hygiene, under the direction of Mr.
Harold VanArsdale, have been much
jjleased with the change made in the
program. The past few weeks, instead
of doing the regular class room work
on Monday, they have been going to the
gymnasium and taking turns in teaching games that would be suitable for
the different grades. This gives the
students practice in methods of teaching
games and also benefits them by the
muscular exercise involved.
The following students have had
charge of the class so far: Celia Malone, John G, Miller, Jean Aspland,
Catherine Shaw, Pete Stephenson, Millard Reedy, Eunice Manley.
Of the 9:20 class the following have
taught games: Harry Stephenson, Bernice Wagner, Lena Crave, Eva Dado,
Marium Hayes, Leroy Dudley, Grace
Lovet, Lee Biirtges, Jean Pearson, Lucy
Ginter, Leona Hayes.
This plan will be continued until the
end of the term and will give each student a chance to take part in the teaching.

"Dixie" Ends Summer's Movies
"Dixie" was our last movie of the
series. This jiicture was adapted from
the story of the Confederation and most
of the scenes were laid in our beautiful
south.
Major AUau, who owns a large plautafioii and a beautiful colonial mansion,
decides that be must leave his home and
fight for the cause of the Confederacy.
He takes with him his eldest son and
leaves behind him his wife, his daughter Mary, and his young son. The overseer remains upon the jilantation to
manage the negroes.
Three years later the terrible hardships of war are keenly felt. The negroes are each allowed their weekly
portions of food. All the food which
can be spared, as well as blankets, rugs
and even curtains, are sent to the Confederate army. The overseer of the
plantation has joined the ranks and the
negroes are in charge of Mrs. Allan.
Because of the absence of an overseer
the negroes do little work and spend
much of their time in singing a n d dancing.
One night a daring Federal spy brings
news that the negroes are going to have
their freedom. This news excites them
so that t h e y burn the barn of army
supplies rather than have those supplies
sent to the army which is fighting to
hold them in bondage.
The great tragedies of the war are
seen when t h e older Allan son is killed
and when the parents, though crushed
with grief, permit the younger son to
join the array. Major Allan is now too
badly crippled for further military service and he feels that the last hope of
the tottering confederacy is in the
younger boys. This younger son is one
of the soldiers who later declares at
Appomattox. "If the general only gives
the word, we will fight until the last
man drops."
At the same time. General Grant and
General Lee has decided to form a truce.
General Lee has decided that further
sacrifices will be useless. General Grant
prepares the terms of surrender. In
the history of the world, more lenient
terms were never presented. The army
is permitted to return to their homes,
taking with them their horses a n d mules.
General Lee accepts these terms and the
news is announced to the w.aiting sol
diers. The Blue and the Gray lay down
their arms and peace is declared. The
two great generals ride away and the
picture is ended.
Students who have attended these
movies have found them among the most
pleasant recreations of the summer session.
Memories of these hours are
among those which we want t o carry
away with us.

Nature Collections on
Exhibition
The chief attraction in the training
school for the past few weeks has been
the exhibition of insect collections made
by the nature study classes this summer.
Nearly a hundred cases are on view.
Each one is the collection of an individual student, who has mounted, classi
fied, and labelled his trophies.
This exhibition is one of the finest
ever collected by any of Mr. Ulmer's
classes. It contains almost every insect
common in this localit.y at this time of
year, and also a few specimens that are
rare and interesting.
The classification work has been especially well done, and the taste used in
arranging the specimens has given tho
exhibit no little claim to beauty. To the
lover of nature the exhibition is a real
treat.
"Turn a group of amateurs loose," Mr.
Ulmer commented when placing the cases
in the first floor halls, "and the results
are startling, especially to the naturalist."

The class in Nature Stiuly, under the

LOCK HAVEN, PA., AUGUST 13, 1925
IN FALLfROLLMENT
The west (loriiiifor.v is sold out for
the fall of I92;'), sold out completely,
not one half-room left, and the registrations for next term are still jiouring
in. For the lirst time, it is lielieved, in
the history of this Normal School, girls
are being placed in the east dormitory,
formerly sacred to the other half of the
human family. Mrs. Cresswell has located forty girls in second floor east for
this coming year, and it seems entirely
likel.y that that floor will be fllled to
overllowing by this time next month,
when we return to serious liusiness.
The advance registrations, counting
onl.y those who have come through with
the necessary fees, at this time is somewhat more than double the number of
registrations last fall. It is fond reasoning to predict that the enrollment for
September will therefore be doubled;
but it is reasonably safe to say that
the number of students will be probably fift.v per cent greater than last
fall. Dr. Armstrong will enter ou his
tirst full year as principal with assurances that the schoolmen of this district
and the alumni of this school have valued
his work at its worth, and that they are
behind the encouragement that is urging high school graduates this way.
In every way this coming year will
be a record-breaker. The enrollment of
bo,ys is increasing in the same proportion as that of the girls. The football
prospects, against a schedule of opjionents from our own class of schools, are
excellent.
The concert course—and
Lock Haven has become somewhat famous for the quality of its offerings—
will be better than last year's and apparently better than even the flrst artist's program of 192,'i. The faculty will
be increased. The territory from which
students come to us has enlarged itself,
students registering already from counties from which no one has come to us
in years. Alma Mater is looking ahead
to this coming year with a smile of assured contentment.

like all school teachers there are so man.y

One of the greatest problems of all
school teachers is that of discipline. It
has airead.v been stated b,v nian.y persons that disciplinarians are born and
not made. This may be true, but every
worth while teacher must be up to date.
This can be done only b.y the use of
educational tools. Ibigazines are a great
help. The methods should become your
own and not the writers.
Teachers entering the profession must
remember that teaching is not a lazy

own.

The final score, 16-1, proved t h a t the
Normalites were just as aggressive on
the offense as on the defense.
The game was close for the first two

inning. The game had been won now

Credit can be given to the Muncy

supplied by Sones, who succeeded in hitting "only a few" of the opposing batters. The catcher suffered the loss of

The lo.val Normal rooters, who started soon after the team in a popular

Vanity Cases Volleyed Down
by Shingle Bobs
The game of volle.y ball has surely
wrecked the jieace of the .students of
C, S. N. S. i l r . Harold A'anArsdale,
Captain of the Vanity (.!ases, suffered a
defeat at the hands of the Shingle Bobs.
The series consisted of three gaines
per day for the week of Aug. .'! to 8.
The Vanit.y Cases took the lead in the
first two days, but were tied at the close
of Thursday's battle.
Friday was the deciding day. The
\'aiiit.y Cases were so excited fhey were
of every hue. The Shingle Bobs were
neatly groomed but not jiolished. The
game was finally on. The Vanity Cases
took the lead at first, but the Shingle
Bobs came through with the game. The
next game went to the Vanity Cases,
due to the over-confidence and vanity of
the other side, whereupon vanity was
not allowed.
One more game yet remained and the
series was not decided. Who could win
was now the question. Each side settled down to heroic eft'orts. Great was
the battle, the Shingle Bobs emerging
victorious.
Draw Pairs for Tennis
Tournament
.Arrangements have been completed
for a tennis tournament to be held for
the last week at school. The events
are to be boy's singles iind girl's singles.
.\mong the entrants among the boys
tire Reuben Moose, champion in '2.S;
Andy Flesher, one of the close contestants for last .year's championship and
numerous other players of a high class.
None of the girl's title holders are
back so the games here are in open
question. Many of the players, though
new to the game, show surprising abilit.v, iind the quality of the unknown
makes interest greater.
First matches are as follows:
Durner-Hudson ; Harpster-Bye.
Benigni-Flesher; Pierson-Johnston.
Wirtner-Dudley; Farwcll-Croyle.
Boher-Williams; Booth-Adam.
Kandi'iich-Moose; Winkleblech-Bcck.

Hundreds of Lessons Taught to Thousands of Observers—Children Advanced in School—Excellent Teaching
If it is difficult to conceive how

Superintendent Akeley Addresses Students
For a few brief minutes Thursday,
Aug, •), the students of C, S. N. S. were
iifforded the pleasure of hearing the
most excellent address given by Superintendent Akeley, of Potter County.
His few remarks clearly told that he
understands the perplexing questions
which arise for all scliool teachers. Being located in one of the great forest
regions of our state, he said, this county,
which was at one time covered with a
mass of pines and many hardwood trees,
presents now a different scene. The last
tliree of the original pines has been
hauled away. Regardless of this many
tourists still visit this county annually,
for it is the home of the brook trout.
Supt. Akeley had one big thought to
convey. I t was "The School Will Be No
Better at Any Time Than the Teacher
Makes It."

Jiublic school teachers in line with the
co-operative basis on which the summer
work is being done. Many children
have taken advantage of the demonstration school to "make u p " work missed
during the year and to continue their
work without demotion. The work offered was based on the state course of
study, thus bringing it into full harnion.v with the work in the winter elementary schools.
The faculty of the demonstration
school has been of the highest order,
says Roy S. MacDougall, director. Instructors whose experience has furnished many contacts with other demonstration schools have made many
gratifying comments fo Mr. MacDougall
on the work of the deinonstration faculty.
Miss Naiic.y Woodworth gave many
demonstrations illustrative of types of
procedure in kindergarten work and in

Health Class Taught by Students
The classes in Persontil and School
Hygiene, under the direction of Mr.
Harold VanArsdale, have been much
jjleased with the change made in the
program. The past few weeks, instead
of doing the regular class room work
on Monday, they have been going to the
gymnasium and taking turns in teaching games that would be suitable for
the different grades. This gives the
students practice in methods of teaching
games and also benefits them by the
muscular exercise involved.
The following students have had
charge of the class so far: Celia Malone, John G, Miller, Jean Aspland,
Catherine Shaw, Pete Stephenson, Millard Reedy, Eunice Manley.
Of the 9:20 class the following have
taught games: Harry Stephenson, Bernice Wagner, Lena Crave, Eva Dado,
Marium Hayes, Leroy Dudley, Grace
Lovet, Lee Biirtges, Jean Pearson, Lucy
Ginter, Leona Hayes.
This plan will be continued until the
end of the term and will give each student a chance to take part in the teaching.
TIMES
"Dixie" Ends Summer's Movies
"Dixie" was our last movie of the
series. This jiicture was adapted from
the story of the Confederation and most
of the scenes were laid in our beautiful
south.
Major AUau, who owns a large plautafioii and a beautiful colonial mansion,
decides that be must leave his home and
fight for the cause of the Confederacy.
He takes with him his eldest son and
leaves behind him his wife, his daughter Mary, and his young son. The overseer remains upon the jilantation to
manage the negroes.
Three years later the terrible hardships of war are keenly felt. The negroes are each allowed their weekly
portions of food. All the food which
can be spared, as well as blankets, rugs
and even curtains, are sent to the Confederate army. The overseer of the
plantation has joined the ranks and the
negroes are in charge of Mrs. Allan.
Because of the absence of an overseer
the negroes do little work and spend
much of their time in singing a n d dancing.
One night a daring Federal spy brings
news that the negroes are going to have
their freedom. This news excites them
so that t h e y burn the barn of army
supplies rather than have those supplies
sent to the army which is fighting to
hold them in bondage.
The great tragedies of the war are
seen when t h e older Allan son is killed
and when the parents, though crushed
with grief, permit the younger son to
join the array. Major Allan is now too
badly crippled for further military service and he feels that the last hope of
the tottering confederacy is in the
younger boys. This younger son is one
of the soldiers who later declares at
Appomattox. "If the general only gives
the word, we will fight until the last
man drops."
At the same time. General Grant and
General Lee has decided to form a truce.
General Lee has decided that further
sacrifices will be useless. General Grant
prepares the terms of surrender. In
the history of the world, more lenient
terms were never presented. The army
is permitted to return to their homes,
taking with them their horses a n d mules.
General Lee accepts these terms and the
news is announced to the w.aiting sol
diers. The Blue and the Gray lay down
their arms and peace is declared. The
two great generals ride away and the
picture is ended.
Students who have attended these
movies have found them among the most
pleasant recreations of the summer session.
Memories of these hours are
among those which we want t o carry
away with us.

Nature Collections on
Exhibition
The chief attraction in the training
school for the past few weeks has been
the exhibition of insect collections made
by the nature study classes this summer.
Nearly a hundred cases are on view.
Each one is the collection of an individual student, who has mounted, classi
fied, and labelled his trophies.
This exhibition is one of the finest
ever collected by any of Mr. Ulmer's
classes. It contains almost every insect
common in this localit.y at this time of
year, and also a few specimens that are
rare and interesting.
The classification work has been especially well done, and the taste used in
arranging the specimens has given tho
exhibit no little claim to beauty. To the
lover of nature the exhibition is a real
treat.
"Turn a group of amateurs loose," Mr.
Ulmer commented when placing the cases
in the first floor halls, "and the results
are startling, especially to the naturalist."

The class in Nature Stiuly, under the
(lirection of Mr. Levi Ulmer, has iiiado
several field expeditions and has gathered much first hand knowledge of insects, flowers, and trees. These expeditions have been supplemented by lantern
slides which have given the class a
chance to study some plants which are
not now iu season and to see them in
their natural colorings. The star study
trip was postponed on iiccount of the
evening being too cloudy.
A miniature garden has been made in
the window of the science room, and it
seems to be growing well. It may not
be as beautiful as Mistress Mary's Garden of room 36, but there are a greater
variety of plants.

The Alunini of Central State Normal,
who were attending the Summer Session of Penn State College, held a "GetTogether-Party," Tuesday, Aug. 4, in the
Open Air Theater at State College.
Some time was spent in reminiscing,
after which the group made their way
across the campus near the Dairy Building for "eats." The Alumni who did
not attend will regret the fact after
hearing the accounts of the iiffair from
those who were there.
