ALUMNI CONCERT Irish and Scotch Melodies Were Sung Last evening in the Auditorium a delightful musicale was given under the direction of Professor Samuel B. Bclding as part of the commencement festivities. The quartet consisting of Jcancttc Roller, soprano; Lyra Watcrhoiisc, alto; Dr, Thompson, tenor; and Professor K inland, baritone, repeated the Scotch Cycle so much enjoyed at the concert last month. Most of the songs sung were ancient' melodies with words by Thomas Moore and Robert Uiiras. The program was as follows: Irish songs: Quartet, "Kathleen Mavourneen; " soprano, " Killarney;" epiartet, "The Minstrel Boy;" baritone, "The Fields of Ballyclarc;" quartet, "The Cruiskeen Lawn;" tenor, "Avenging and Bright;" quartet, "The Harp That Once." • Scotch songs: Tenor and quartet, " Can Ye by Athol;" duct, " The Laird of . Cockpen;" quartet, "Eloralo;" soprano, "Lewie Gordon;" duet, "Willie Brewed a Peck o' Maut;" soprano, " O, Whistle and I'll Come;" duct, " Ca' the Yowcs;" quartet, "Scots Wha Hae." Professor Belding was at the piano. While the concert was given for the alumni the public was invited free of charge. We hope that-next year able substitutes can be found for the two senior members of this delightful quartet. THE PEDAGOGUE In this last issue of the " News " we want to praise our 1919 yearbook. It's all it was promised to be and more. That clever border around each page; the surprise of the dedication; the numerous sketches and snap shots, to say nothing of real jokes! We don't know who deserves the most credit. We realize the amount of time and energy that must have been spent in securing advertisements, in collecting and originating material, in getting together the whole thing and delivering it, before college closed. We advise any alumnus who. hasn't a copy to see if one can be secured. They're great, and we exT tend : most hearty congratulations, to the editors, each and all. .

Whish, '21 Marjorie Potter, '21 Louise Persons, '22 Elisa Rigouard, '22 GOOD-BYE AND WELCOME The present board of editors has never before liad an_ opportunity to express its appreciation to the old board for the valuable aid given it in continuing the publishing of our " oracle of student opinion." It has never made public its universal grief at temporarily suspending the close friendships established in our work in the little office under.the stairs. It wishes to admit the difficulties in maintaining the standards set 'by the members of the old board. 1919 has established the custom of surrendering the publishing of the " News " to the new board as soon as it is appointed. For this we are very glad. It has given us an opportunity to work by ourselves with experienced helpers to explain difficulties. • The present board also wishes to thank the fa'culty and the student body for their consideration in criticising our first attempts. We hope to return in the fall with renewed zest, and clever ideas for continuing the " News;" a real, live, student paper. We ask for the hearty support of everyone, undergraduates and alumni, so that, as in this past year, each member of State College will on Thursday afternoons be eagerly watching the table in the lower hall outside the publication office, or be watching his mail for a small publication in a government folder. We are finding it difficult to welcome alumni and at the same time bid good-bye to the members of '19. As doubtless others have wished our present alumni the best sort of luck in their application of State College methods out in that hackneyed place, "the wide, wide world, so we too wish the same for all our graduates, but more especially for 1919. AT THE END OF A PERFECT YEAR Yes, we .know it wasn't absolutely perfect. Nothing ever was absolutely perfect, But 1918-1919 has been so near the mark that we are sure we shall be forgiven if we come right out and call it perfect. And here's why: STATE COLLEGE NEWS, JUNE 14, 1919 ,'•• When there was a war to win, State College Sent men into every branch of the service, Then to cap this she turned her campus .into a drill-field and her buildings into a combination barracks and mess-hall, and enlisted the rest of her men in. the S. A. T. C. And when the armistice was signed she gave her attention just as enthusiastically to bringing back peace-time standards. In athletics State College sprung a sensation in the form of a first class basketball team. Statistics show a record of 256 points in her favor ' against 203 for her . opponents. She also backed that team by some mighty cheering) and she succeeded in establishing a men's cheering section. She also sent representatives to the annual track.meet, and, although they did not get a place, they were there just the same; And when it came to intermural athletics there was the same pep shown in intcrclass contests. In the social world the College has established the traditions of a campus dance, and a senior ball at the Armory, There has also been a high stamiard of class functions. Most important of all, the New York State Student Volunteer Union held its annual conference at State College. In student government there have been two innovations, namely, the Dramatic and Art Association, and the Student Board of Finance. Have we been improving? Well, I guess I "You boast too much," someone says. It was only a few days ago that we heard a student from Wisconsin University say, "Some people, who do not understand what school pride is, give us the name of being stuck up because we are always boosting Wisconsin University. But we have something to be proud of." So have we, and it is only natural that we should be proud of it. On another occasion we heard a State College student exclaim, " Now, if we only had a.school like that, we could have school spirit and pride." We have enough now to invoke school spirit and with a little will and push we can have more. Then let's boost. Let's root all summer, wherever wc are, for State College; and when we return next Fall keep on rooting. '21. lack of a demand for them on the part of the students. A great number of the faculty have expressed themselves as being in favor of a good athletic schedule at State College. Let's all boost and not only put State College on the map, but all over the map! SENIOR BALL One last plea for our final splurge — the Senior Ball, Monday night at nine o'clock in the State Armory. If it's possible that any alumni haven't heard of this affair before, hcark ye now! It's the first real affair to be given outside of college. It is a sure advertisement that State College is growing and needs new and larger buildings. It is a positive guarantee of the best time yet, and the price is only $3,50 a bid (plus, of course, the ten per cent war tax). If you're in town to renew old friendships, greet new alumni, and recall pleasant memories of this, your Alma Mater, sec a member of the dance committee immediately! We want you all there. Each organization of college is to have a booth in which it may entertain its guests who do not dance. CLASS DAY Class Day exercises took place in the college auditorium at threethirty o'clock yesterday afternoon. The editors of the " News " regret that they were unable to secure for publication, copies of the Class Prophecy and History before this issue went to press.

CLASS POEM Here will we«carvc our names. We gained the right by toiling higher, Lighter 'twas to rest us at the noonday By the rills; Or in the cold of winter sit beside the cheerful fire. But we climbed onward yet on the way Up the hills. Carve our names here. Perhaps they'll be forgotten As we pass on. Thousands will come this way; Be onward hurled.— Pass on! Let us go higher!—and if we would not be forgotten, Carve our names deeper — on the world. — H, Louise Stewart.

And across from me sits a fair maiden Who has gotten confused as to date, For she's wearing a sweater of scarlet! Do you wonder my heart's full of hate? (Welleslcy College News—June 5, '19.)

ALMA MATER (Tune: "Where the Flag Is Full of Stars") It's fine to see the college halls throughout our Empire State; And know the scats of learning that have made its name so great; We're proud of, them and what they've done, wherever they may be, But still, for us, there's only one,— and that's our S. C. T. Chorus So, we hail thee, Alma Mater, dear,— To thee our pledge we give That day by day, along life's way To honor thee we'll live. We will spread in song and story the fame of S. C, T. That the world may know thy glory,— Alma Mater,— here's to thee! It's great to watch the-busy town from old Columbia's gates, And every Vassar girl the joys of campus-life relates; Cayuga's waves arc ever blue when viewed from proud Cornell,— But to our own we'll e'er be true,— Her praises we'll haste to tell. Within thy halls we've learned to love the noble and the true, And SERVICE shall our slogan be, whatev'er we strive to do. May we, in all our deeds fulfill thy purpose in our heart, And follow where thou leadest still, tho' from thee we must part. ADALENE A. HALL, '20. Adalene A. Hall. '20.
