Head of French Department
Passes Away at Ogdensburg.
Dr. Arthur Gustave Ward, head
of the French Department at State
College, died Saturday at Ogdensburg, where he was taken for treatment the day before. Due, it is
thought, to over study, Dr. Ward's
health became so poor that he was
granted a year's leave of absence
from college during the summer,
Treatment at local hospitals seemed
to give no aid toward his recovery,
and he was moved to Ogdensburg
for special treatment last Friday.

MCMAHON ELECTED
CHEER LEADER
Last Year's Leader Gets Lead of
46 Votes
As a result of Monday's all-day
balloting, Lawrence M. McMahon,
'20, was elected cheer leader by 46
votes. Ralph J. Baker, '21, the
other candidate, will hold the position of assistant cheer leader.
The success which McMahon
had last year undoubtedly won the
election for him. Baker, being a
new and untried candidate, came
in second in the race, but his work
in the position of assistant will
surely show up his ability. With
two such leaders as McMahon and
Baker, State College will surely
hold its own in noisemakiiig at
games and assemblies.
SPANISH CLUB

which Miss Sullivan asked the
members of the club if they would
consider another day or hour for

IS COLLEGE TO BE A

Everyone knows that the spirit
of State College is improving. Real
college spirit has been born here,

OFFICIAL NOTICES
The .holiday recess will begin at
the close of recitations on Friday,
December 20, and regular work will
be resumed at 8:10 o'clock on Friday, January .1, 1919.
The attention of all students is
called to the following provision of
the attendance rules: "An absence
on the opening or closing clay of a'
semester or upon the day instruction ends or is resumed at a recess
or vacation period, shall count the
full number of permissible absences
in a given course."
During this week notices will be
sent from the Dean's office to all
students whose work has been reported by their instructors as unscatisfactoryfor the first half of the
semester. No student should feel
that he is discredited by the receipt
of such a notice, but should clearly
understand that credit for the
semester in the subject in which he
may now be deficient depends in
large part upon his zeal and industry for the remaining weeks of the
semester.
All students should perhaps be
reminded, that the following rule is
in operation this year: " N o credit

Their song is well worthy of being

Learn it. It is tuned to the chorus
of "Smiles,"

There are clubs of every kind,
There are clubs that delve in " l i t "

And they surely do improve the

There are clubs for music, French

And that one is our G. A, A.

to the party in a go-cart by her

piece about the " Freshmen class,
