ENTERTAINMENT
Capacity Audience Fills Auditorium
The three plays given by the.
Dramatic class on Friday evening,
February 1st, were enjoyed by a
large and appreciative audience of
students and visitors.
The performances were a great credit to
the zeal and talent of both the members of ihe cast and the director,
Miss Agnes Ftittcrer.
The stage sellings were cleverly
gotten up and added much to the
realism of the plays. Marion Beale,
'20, as stage manager, proved most
efficient. O'Neill's orchestra played
during the intermissions.
Myfanwy Williams, '21, added
much to the charm of the last play
by her piano accompaniment,
The first play given was " T h e
Rescue," by Rita Creighton Smith.
The scene was the cozy living
room of the Warden home. Miss
Marie Wendling, '20, took the part
of Miss Flvirah Warden, an extremely nervous woman, the last
of her family, aside from her niece,
Anna.
Miss Agnes Dcunin, '19,
played Ihe part of the niece, and
unfolded many of the secrets of her
family. Kate, the old family servant, appeared in the form of Miss
Mary Goodrich, '19; she knew all
about the family troubles, and very
sympathetically tried to solve them.
Through her, Anna Warden was
rescued from the common fate of
her people's insanity, and went out
to make a place for herself in the
world.
The second of the three plays
was " T h e Neighbors," by Zona
Gale. It was a scream from start
to,finish, for every member of the
cast took his or her part with the
perfection of a professional. The
curtain rose, revealing a kitchen
scene with Betty Gardner, bespectacled, wearing an impossible hat,
and ironing away with the air of a

EDITORIALS
OUR TEAM
After last Saturday night's battle
and victorious score of 29—27,
there's no doubt but that "our
boys are there." With the possible
exception of the R. P. I. victory of
two years ago, never was excitement so high pitched as at the
State-Navy game.
And never did Stale have a team
more deserving • of cheers and
praise. They're putting State College on the map and honoring the
Purple and Gold in a wonderful
way. Minerva and her six hundred
rooters are proud of the men who
have won three out of four games
thus far this year.
"HOME INDUSTRY"
While we're bragging up the
team, the Quarterly, the News, the
Pedagogue, and others of State's
glories, let us .include dramatics.
The crowd which filled the auditorium last Friday showed that we patronize "home industry." Likewise,
let's praise it.
Under the able coaching of Miss
Agnes Futtcrer, '16, a graduate of
our own co'legc and a dramatic critic
of wide renown, three splendidly
produced plays were given in the
auditorium. The casts were made
up of " o u r own " people, the plays
staged and managed by "our own"
people, and the scenic and lighting
effects done by "home industry."
The success of the plays was
largely dependent on the efforts of
Marion Reale, Emma Gray and
Isidore Pargot as directors and
managers.
Without the work of. Manville,
'19, and.Baker, '21, the added charm
of scenic and lighting effects would
have been lost,
They deserve
great credit for their splendid
work in this field,
No one could possibly have rendered the " W a r d e n " atmosphere
of "The Rescue" better than Agnes
Dennin, Marie Wendling and Mary
Goodrich.
Whoever has lived in a small
town knows that " Neighbors " was
superbly interpreted by lietty
Gardner, Peggy Van Ness, Reg,
Bruce, Vita Mcrritt, Ethel McKcnna, George Schiavone, Gertrude
Green and Harriet Doyle.
The true art in Laura Macfarlane,
Ethel McKcnna and Florence
Stubbs' presentation of "The Maker
of Dreams," needs no comment.
The point to be made is that
Friday's plays were the product of
" home industry "—a product to be
proud of, and an industry that
magnifies State College.
A HELLO SOCIETY VS.
AN ICEBERG SOCIETY
One of the greatest needs of
State College is the organization of
a Hello society. This is one movement in which every student could
and should share. Such a society
has no constitution, no officers, no
dues, membership being dependent
011 good will. .Its object is recognition of State College students by
Slate College students.
In a college of this size it should
not lake longer than a semester
to learn faces — even if names arc
never learned. Yet, there arc some
seniors who have known other
seniors for seven semesters, and
still offer no sign or recognition at
a facc-lo-facc meeting, Evidently
these fair maids belong to an iceberg society. One fairly shudders
with the chill of their atmosphere.
And some of these people have
served on committees with others,
yet acquaintanceship ceases with
duty.
While we all admire modesty, we
do dislike an overdrawn shyness.
Perhaps it is "proper " to wait for
a properly chaperoned, formal introduction, but let's don't be
proper.
A good start has been made by
'21. In the list of freshmen rules,
freshmen have to speak to sophomores and Myskania members.
And there is no embarrasment felt
by any of the parties concerned.
It is far pleasantcr to a freshman,
or to a Myskania member, to go to
a test after a dozen or more " hollos " en route, than after steering
himself carefully around and away
from a bunch of iceberg girls.
One of the greatest joys of going
home is the cheer of friendly greetings; and one of the greatest causes
of the " b l u e s " is the forlorn feeling of knowing no one, and anger
at wilful failure to show recognition adds to the disagreeable feeling of loneliness. Seniors do not
experience that because they have
made enough worth-while friends
that icy snobs don't count. But
freshmen mush laugh to themselves
at the written and spoken welcomes
given in September and the chilly
snubs in June—and succeeding
years.
Why can't we, of State, remedy
this? A simple nod or " H e l l o "
costs nothing and does much. No
loss of dignity is necessary, and
much spirit is gained. Let us then
say " Hello" to everybody from
State—in the spirit of
"Are you from State, are you from
State?"
"Well, I'm from State College too."
And don't forget the faculty. Our
President has often expressed a
wish to be spoken to in the halls or
on the street. Others feel the same
way.
Let the ice melt, the dignity disappear, and snobbishness cease to
exist. A Hello society vs. an Iceberg society will help to make State
College HOME.
OUR OTHER HALF
Altho' this college of ours is a
perfect whole yet, in it there are
two distinct divisions—Faculty and
Student, These are congenially intermingled in every phase of college life, State College now has
true spirit in the making—fast in
the making.
Everybody at our game Saturday
night will testify to that.
The
bleachers at both home games
shook beneath the cheers of one
division mentioned above. VVc
missed our faculty. We felt incomplete without them.
Surely
our competition with other colleges
is a vital part of us hcre._ We
know that our faculty are just as
proud of our splendid team as we
are — we want to feel that they
share that pride with us oil the
spot.

tunities given. There arc some of
us Frcshmci^ who have worn high
school insignia all the year, just for
the privilege of wearing the penalty, a safety pin, for a while, and
yet a loyal Soph has not yet put in
an appearance with the safety pins
to bestow upon us.
Surely this
rival class of ours needs to have
its eyes tested.

But even when .the class DO
notice a rule being broken, it is
about as enthusiastic as clanis_ in
penalizing the culprit.
The first
penalty day was rather exciting-, and
there were quite a number of Sophs
in attendance. By the third time,
however, interest in "having some
fun with the Frosh" had so far
waned that only the officers in
charge were present.
Even they
did not have enough enthusiasm
to think up some new penalty, or
even to arrive on time. And now
we have not been worried by a
penalty day for some weeks, which
is a great pity, because now we
Frcshies will never fully appreciate
our privileges next year.

WHY NOT?
Why can't we celebrate? Why
can't we have a big jubilee Friday
night in the. gym to celebrate
exams? We've all been promising
ourselves one grand spree anyhow,
as soon as exams were over, so
why can't we have a regular time
in the gym? We wouldn't need to
have a program—there's no time to
get up one—but we could all get
together, and sing and make a
noise, and otherwise relieve our
spirits after a week's plugging.
We'd leave all our dignity as teachers, or prospective teachers, at
home, and just have a boisterous,
rough-and-tumble good lime. We
could swing on the trapeze, jump
over the booms—at least those who
can manage those things could
Miss Archibald could help us sing
and cheer, and we could dance and
be joyful. Jf »ny of us felt that we
might need inward refreshment,
each could bring a little bag of popcorn, or something,
And if we
can't celebrate in the gym, we could
have an ice carnival on the parklake maybe (that is if it keeps cold
long enough). VVc could ha.ve
prizes for fancy skating, and races
between classes, and freezing of
noses and other stunts, anything to
make us forget, Anyhow let's do
something drastic. What do you
say?

WHAT DO YOU SAY?
You kiunv—the finest asset going
is a smile, Gloomy faces mean sad
and bitter hearts. And with such a
feeling you can't possibly dig up a
smile.
So, instead of happiness,
there's sadness given — if only for
a while. Jf, instead of scowling,
we would always have a smile —
think.of all the gladness we would
pass along, if only for a while. Of
course exams are horrid, of course
we're feeling glum. But just the
same, a smile would help ourselves
and others at least some. Let's—
when we meet each other—in the
class or in the hall—let's smile, and
create an armor that's invulnerable
to exams and quizzes and all.
We have an A—K— C and a"Pep"
club—Let's have a smile club too.

SOPHS, READ THIS
NOTICE
In the matter of enforcing our
freshmen rules, some of us arc
rather disappointed because of the
way it is—or rather, is not — done.
Half the fun of the first two years
of college life is the FreshmanSophomore rivalry, and the more a
class is tormented its first year,
the more will it appreciate its advantage when the tables are turned
the second year. For this reason
some Freshmen, at least, are disappointed at the apparent lack of observance and enthusiasm in our
most worthy opponents in this inter-class rivalry.
The way in which they fail to
observe instances in which we
break rules is simply astonishing.
For a Soph, an officer at that, to
allow a Freshic to drink at the
fountain while she stands calmly
by and waits for the Frosh to finish
and then does not post the delinquent's name for^ penalty, is evidence of one's failing to use oppor-

A Tactful Beginning
A speaker who thought very
favorably of his own, tactfulness
was asked to deliver an address,
and started as follows:
"My friends, I shall not call you
ladies and gentlemen, I know you
too well."

Faith and Works
One Monday morning two little
girls, aged seven and nine, were on
their way to school. Fearing they
would be lardy, the seven-year-old
said to the nine-year-old: "Let's
kneel down and pray that we won't
be late."
The nine-year-old .said to the
seven-year-old: "Let's keep on
hiking and pray as we hike!"
Better the First Time
A man asked a friend who was
hard of hearing if he would lend
him five dollars,
"What?" asked the friend.
" Will you lend me ten dollars?"
" Oh, yes," replied the friend,
"but I wish now I had heard you
the first time!"
And Then No One Spoke
"Pa," said little Willie, "what's
an echo?"
"An echo, my son," answered his
father, casting a side glance at
Willie's mother, "is the only thing
on earth that can cheat a woman
out of 'her last word!"
"Another definition of an echo,
Willie," observed his mother, "is
a man who goes to old patentmedicine almanacs for his alleged
wit!"
Had Been There
"I once knew a man who went
hungry in order to buy feed for his
horse," said Jones.
"I can understand his sentiments," said Smith. "Many's the
time I have cut down on meat and
potatoes in order to buy gasoline."
Back Again
Isaac wished to consult a physician and asked a friend to recommend one.
'•And what does he charge?"
asked Isaac, making a note of the
doctor's name.
"Five dollars for the first visit,
three dollars for succeeding calls,"
was the reply,
Half an hour later Isaac entered
the physician's office and gave this
greeting: "Good morning, doctor,
I'm back again."
