FRESHMAN CLASS HAVE
NOVEL MEETING.
J he hrcshmen had a very enjoyable class-meeting Saturday night,
.May 4, 1918. When the Freshmen
had all assembled, the class banner was unfurled with due ceremonies. Then a basket ball game
between flic old maid " Giants"
and the old maid ''Shrimps'' sent
everyone into gales of laughter.
The old tuaids were very appropriately gowned. The next stunt
was a very touching wedding given
by the men of the class. The blushing Miss Sine, a veritable " daughter of the gods, divinely tall" (6 ft.
3 in.), became the bride of Mr.
Co-Secant, a madly chap of 4 ft.
10 in. Later an Agony Duet Was
" rendered " by two members of the
class. Following this a very vivid
description of how Socary set his
blue hen, was given.
A rousing
class sing concluded the program.
Between the stunts, there was
dancing, the music being furnished
by members of (he class. Miss
Pierce, Miss Futtcrer and Mr. Alexander were guests of the class.

Mr. Becker Tells of Camp Life
Dean Horner Gives the Eight Lecture
Student Assembly on Friday
morning, May third, was in charge
of Myskania, and opened with the
singing of Alma .Mater. After .preliminary announcements, Mr. Joseph Walker introduced John A.
Becker. Mr. Becker was until recently a student at State College,
lie has just completed successfully
a course in training at Camp
Devens, Ayer, Massachusetts, and
is now eligible for a second lieutenancy.
Mr. Becker spoke primarily on
the changes wrought on an individual by camp life. Although, as
he said, he had no thrilling front
line experiences to tell of, still he
had felt all the knocks of camp
training, lie gave an exceedingly
entertaining as well as pertinent
account of life in camp as he had
known it. The fact that Y. M.
C. A. has made camp as near like
home as possible was. emphasized,
Mr. Becker said in conclusion that
one of the most valuable lessons he
had learned was that the best way
to get something out of the game
was to put all you have into it.
The next speaker of the day was
Mr. Davison, who has spent much
time recently in France and at
home in Y. M. C. A. work at army
cantonments. Mr, Davison spoke
particularly of the need of war prohibition, or the elimination of one
of the most wasteful influences of
the war. Since the President cannot wipe out the liquor traffic, as
a war measure, until the people of
the United States want it, it is our
place to show that we do want
it. In England it is impossible for
nation-wide prohibition to become
a law, since the country is so beset
with traditions. But we are a bolder
people. The government is but
waiting to- execute our will. In
closing, Mr. Davison called for a
rising vote of t'hosc among the
students who would be willing to
communicate with their representatives at Washington in regard to
the matter of prompt legislation on
the Question.

GYM EXHIBITION
The Sergeant-Major had trouble
in finding an accountant for his
captain, but at last brought in a
private for trial.
"Are you a clerk? " demanded the
captain.
" No, sir," replied the man.
"Do you know anything about
figures?" asked the captain.
" I can do a bit," replied the man,
modestly.
" I s this the best man you can
find?" asked the officer.
" Yes, sir," was the reply.
" Well," growled the captain, " I
suppose I'll have to put up with
him!"
Turning to (he private, he
snapped, "What were you in civilian life?''
" Professor of mathematics at the
State College, sir," was the unexpected reply.— The Taller.
The annual gym exhibition took
place Friday night in the Albany
High School gymnasium.
But it
was not like any exhibition before.
1918 starts a new cycle in gym workin State College. From start to
finish the program was one grand
success—no mistakes, no hitches—
the entire work went on oiled
wheels. The two lower boards of
the bleachers were reserved for the
partakers, and still there was not
room for them. At the signal from
Miss Gray the girls came down the
stairs, one line on each side of the
room. The men followed. After a
very effective marching formation
the performers sat down, Marching tactics were first, the girls and
then the men. Both were excellent
— not a discordant note in either
group.
The first of the three drills was
the dumbbell drill by the girls.
Miss Ellen Donohue '20 and Miss
Katharine MacGarahan '21 were
leaders in all three drills. Miss
Dorothy Banner '20 was at the
piano. The drill was clone by over
a hundred girls and took well with
the enthusiastic audience.
The English country dance was
very pretty and interesting. The
girls all seemed so enrapt in their
work and apparently had a wonderful time.
The Indian club drill was done by
the men and girls at the same time.
Perhaps the most spectacular
number was the work of the men
on the. long horse. Awe inspiring
break neck handsprings, and somersaults forward and backward, made
the audience clap and shriek its approval. The girls' apparatus workwas good, but was overshadowed
by the fact that the men were doing more exciting work at the same
time.
The relay was a potato race
among the four classes, with two
girls running for each class. The
audience cheered the aspirants for
first place, and the race resulted in
a tie between the Seniors, and the
Juniors.
The biggest bit of the evening
was the aesthetic dancing. The
audience clamored for an encore,
but none was given. The entire
Junior gym class took part, and the
whole performance was very pleasing.
Miss Gray and Mr. Maroney deserve the credit of the success.
They have worked all year long,
with every faculty possible, to make
the exhibition a good one. But they
could not have dreamed of such a
landslide as they had Friday night.
The Albany gym was never before
so crowded. The poise and assurance of the two instructors were reflected in the students with whom
they have worked. They may well
be proud of their success. State
College is certainly proud.
When the end of the program
came dancing was enioyed until 11.

Sixty young men were awarded
degrees at Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute, Troy, recently, and honorary degrees were conferred upon
six of the leading engineers of the
United States by the institute, one
of the men honored being Lieutenant-Colonel Henry W. liodge,
United States Engineering Corps,
manager of roads with the American expeditionary force under General Pershing in France.
The Senior class at Vassar College have unanimously voted to
give up class day, third ball play
and all other exercises of commencement week with the exception of the baccalaureate sermon
and the presentation of diplomas.
The students expressed the desire
that the money which would have
been spent by the families of the
students on the final visit to Vassar, estimated $60,000, be put, as
far as possible, into some war fund.
All Seniors who have not paid
their class clues must do so immediately. See the treasurer, Margaret Shevlin, or she will see you!

peace. T h e r e can be no safety in
the world for peacefully disposed
p e o p l e s so long as the peril of P r u s sianism exists. If the world is ever |
to sec peace, the forces of d e m o e - t
racy m u s t not only t r i u m p h in t h e
i m m e d i a t e issues of this conflict, !
h u t they must go a r m e d to the
teeth so long as t h e r e - i s a B e a s t
a b r o a d a n y w h e r e on t h e earth, A
league of nations devoted to world
peace may c o m e ; it will be a purposeless thing if it is not prepared
b y force to assert its will, T h e way
for us to ' a c h i e v e and cherish a
j u s t and lasting p e a c e ' with all nations lies hopefully in the willingn e s s of every patriotic A m e r i c a n
to give ' t h e last full m e a s u r e of
devotion ' to that noble end.
"In
his
famous
Springfield
speech in 1858, e m p l o y i n g the
S c r i p t u r e s , as he often did, Lincoln
s a i d : 'A house divided a g a i n s t itself c a n n o t s t a n d !
I believe this
g o v e r n m e n t cannot e n d u r e p e r m a nently half slave and half free.'
T h e very spirit of t h a t g r e a t disciple of human freedom — pole s t a r
of d e m o c r a c y , which has hovered
so tenderly over the American nation for the last S3 y e a r s , tells us
in u n m i s t a k a b l e t e r m s to-day that a
w o r l d divided against itself c a n n o t
s t a n d , t h a t the peoples of the earth
c a n n o t exist p e r m a n e n t l y half slave
and half free, that the ' w i l l to
p o w e r ' and the ' will to serve ' cann o t abide t o g e t h e r indefinitely upon
the earth, thai there can be no
c o m p r o m i s e between peoples who
believe, on the one hand, in the I
holiness of Might, and on the o t h e r
in the holiness of Right, and that
peace for the world d e p e n d s not J
u n o h the triumph of the alleged |
' d i v i n e right of kings,' but in the ,
justification by force of the theory j
p r o c l a i m e d bv our forefathers upon
this western hemisnhere'. that ' g o v e r n m e n t s derive their, just, p o w e r s
