The C. S. N. 8. girls lost their first
game of this season to Bellefonte High
School on Friday, January 9.
The
game was fast and rather rough. Normal scored first, caging a iield goal,
but in the next few niinutes Bellefonte
caged three, getting into a lead from
which they were not again dispossessed.
In the second quarter the Normal girls
stepped arouiicl with more speed, the
half ending with the score 18-TO in
Bellefoute's favor.
A ten-ininute rest did tlie Niuanal
team iiuicli good. The ball was kept
away from the Bellefonte basket, and
the score worked uj) to 18-15. That ended NoriiLal's spurt, Bellefonte jiutting
np the better game from then on. The
final score was ^iO-21.
Fidlowing the game the Bellefonte
High crowd gave a dance for the Normal
team. The team and the crowd of rootters, wlio went with them, enjoyed that
hospitality to the full.
Bellefonte pla.vs a return game here
on February 14, when the girls h.ave
every intention of evening up tlie score,
both in games won and in luisiiitalily
extended.

Amateur Photographers Out
Two iiienihei'S uf ilr. Ulmer's Science
Class were seen laboriously trying to
focus down the lieantiful winter scene
of the C. S. N. S. Campus on January
10.
The trees, heavily laden with a
white blanket of snow stood out against
the blue-gray sky. Looking across the
fluffy wliite drifts of snow, the amateur
photographers could see the long outline of the school building through the
falling snowflakes. Then to give the
picture a hiinian touch, the eye of the
camera fell on the faithful figure of
Belvie, piling the snow on either side
of the walk. Yes, indeed, 'tis a picture
worth preserving, a typical C. S. N. S.
scene.

l-'Oinbra, Flotow's brilliant
light
o]iera, will be produced here February
20 li.v an American all-star operatic
caste. This is the opera's first season
on the road and it has scored musical
triumphs wherever it has been heard.
Clyde L. Lyon, of the Illinois State
Teachers' College at DeKolb, 111., says:
"L'Oinbra was a big success. Our music
Jieople are enthusiastic in jiraisc of the
selection and of the singers."

The Praeeo Dance, given annually by
the Seniors to raise funds for the preliminary expenses of their year liook,
was held Saturday evening, Januarj' 17.
.\bout 125 coujiles were present, the
usual large delegation from State, witli
smaller crowds from Bucknell and elsewhere, jirovidiiig the necessary male element.
The gym was decorated to give an ice
carnival effect, a new idea here, ami
one rather effectively, though not
elaborately worked out.
Brown Bossert's Orchestra furnished
a very good line of dance music.
There were no refreshments other
than the fruit iiuiich, but there was
Jilenty of that, and it had been made
long enough before the dance to make
it develop its full taste.
(Credit for the dance goes to the hard
working eommittees from the Senior
class. The committee chairmen were'

Blanche .Mauger; Music, Gertrude McDermott; Refreshment, Grace McK^iiiiiey; Heception, Bernice Da.v.
Ill the short receiving line weri' Viulet .Agnew, jiresident of the class, I'riiieiji.al Drum, and ;i nuniber of the nienibers of the facnlt.v.
Among the alunini back for the dance
were Bernice Lord, editor of the 192:1
I'raeco; Marion Wilson, business manager of last .vear's book; Jnlia CoffeO;
Alva Schooley, Alice Kunes, Margaret
Loy, Ruth ifalone, Margaret Larkin,
Loroiia Peterson.

This coniment conies from I'^ureka,
Kan. "It is delightful entertainment—
one thoroughlj' appreciated by lovers of
good music."
The Salt Lake Tribune, Salt Ijike
City, Utah, has this to say concerning
the artists: "The five inembers of the
coinjian.v won iinniediate favor with the
interjiretative quality of the musical
score.
Stella Norelli Lamont, lyric
coloratura soprano, cast as Vespina, a
young widow, has an excellent range
and clarity of voice.
Carl Formes,
baritone, wdio rendered the part of Dr.
Mironet with a vigorous jiersoiiality,
jii-ovided iiiueli of the opera's humor.
Luzanne France, lyric sojirano, in the
Jiart of Gina, a maid servant jiretty
and demure, was thoroughly jileasing
with her deftness and sprightliness.
Olirad Djurin, as Pralirizio, a sculjitor,
brought a melodious tenor voice of excelk'iit aiiidulation to the part. Arthur
Lydell, the jiianist-director, evidenced
much skill in the accoinjianimeuts.
l.'Omlira was first jiroduced at the Paris
Inijierial Theater of the Opera Comique,
July 17, 1870, and this is the first

So that's where I w-ent too.

Her lips fcirmed little arches,
Her hair ,a raven hue.

"It Might Have Been"

.\fter the final initiation of tlie Klio

held in the New Fallon Hotel, Saturday

I n Girls' Meeting, December 16, the
Juniors elected their permanent council
members. Of the list of those eligible,
five were nominated. They w e r e : Anna

Voting was done by secret ballot as
heretofore, and the final count showed
three in the lead. They were Anna

Florence Berkwater withdrew
her name. As this left a decided majcrity in favor of Anna Else and Rose
Bower, further voting was unnecessary.
President Helen Johnston welcomed

The number was received with such
fervor that May Hirlinger immediately
gave an encore, which was taken to be
"Don't Judge a Noise by Its Sound."
Anne Daugherty gave two thrilling
addresses at one and the same time. A
humorous reading, "The Way I t Happened," by Marie Mullins, had the entire audience in tears. The crowning
feature was "The Harvester, or the Gathering of the Nuts," all that it might
imply.

Bob Burman was demonstrating to a
Junior music class how to teach a rote
song, using the class as his victims. After he had sung it once through, he
said, "Now, I want you to sing this
phrase by phrase after me." He sang
the first phrase, and the class repeated
it after him. He sang the second phrase,
and the class just sat and looked. After
some minutes Bob burst out with, "Well,
if I didn't sing it right, why, you do
anyhow."

Hauke and Bowser Debate
Albert Hauke and Eussell Bowser, of
Mr. Sullivan's sociology class, p u t on a
short debate in chapel, January 13. The
topic for debate was the desirability of
passing the child labor bill, proposed as
an amendment to the national constitution.
If you think it will do any good, you
might explain to Carl Schrot what a
"steady" is.

My Father's Favorite Story
Yes, Daughter, wlien Jack Wood took
that school it was the wildest school in
the township. I'll never forget the first
da.v we voungsters saw him—He was a
big hulking chap, able to handle even
.lohn Smith, who was the Deacon's son
iind who later on married your Aunt
(ieorgaiina, and a sorr.v da.v it was for
her too—but there, there, child, I'm getting off my stor.y.
As I was saying, the first day I saw
Jack Wood I liked him. The big fellows did too, wliich was half the liattle.
M'e all used to be sujierstitious, even
about the smallest things, jiliinting corn,
having a black cat across our path, giving birch to the girls when the moon
was waning, and most of all we were
afraid of the dark—not only us little
cottons but the big fellows too.
We
were sjiecially afraid to go through our
ravine—you know, the pass between the
old homesteiid iind the Shamokin side
of the inountain. We said there were
wild animals and even ghosts there.
Well, .lack Wood said that Wiis iill
bosh and to prove it he said he'd take
as many of the fellows through on the
night of the church social as wanted to
go—It was a short cut and they could
stay later. The boys were rather slow
about accepting his challenge and they
reminded him of the awful "eyes" even
they had seen at the very beginning
of the pass.
.lack laughed and said
he'd show them that very night what
the eyes were.
True to his promise and with almost
ever.y school boy very much present
.Tack took us to the head of the pass.
He located the "eyes," marched boldl.v
Dji to them and took a hold of the portion below the "e,yes" wdiere the mouth
should have been, and brought this terrible beast to us—
"What was it, Dadd.v—a b e a r ? "
"Shucks, Baby—it was only a piece
of for-fire." Your old Daddy's never
been afraid of "ej'es" since—not even
.vour mothers.

More Resolutions

I firmly resolve to complain about
