Everyone who had the talent to louse himself from the haunting thoughts of a deserting Prom man, an unfinished gown, or perchance one last test on the morrow, and in spite of long midnight sessions previous, still existed, entered into the festivities of the first Post-Exam, jubilee. The funeral procession, consisting of the corpse of Text Books and mourners of the dear departed, was preceded by the Ornery orchestra, which rendered solemn music for the occasion.

Well, they have been having one round of good times and fun, and showing Statu what a lot of "pep" they've got. They went into exams, with a zeal which nearly surpassed any of the other classes, and then they were off to make Junior week-end the best ever. They were at the Post-Exam. Jubilee in full force and helped to make some of the noise which was so prevalent there. Then on Thusday night they did something (|iiite out of the ordinary and betook themselves to the Hampton where they ate as no other junior class ever ate. And last, but not least, they went to their own Prom, which was the best Prom State has ever seen. On Saturday night they finished up a busy week by going to the Alumni Slate game and the dancing afterwards. And this week they're all back at college, just as full of "pep" as ever — if not more so. They're all ready to start the second semester even better than the first and show their Alma Mater what they can do. Isn't 1922 the best junior class ever? Where, oh where, are the "Jolly Juniors?" A CHALLENGE This is the beginning week of the second semester. It is a week which brings a challenge for every student in college. Exams arc over, and there is the temptation to lie down on the job until another " cramming season." However, let us all make " new-semester " resolutions; to prepare our work daily, to put ourselves into our work, and to be alert to the many educational possibilities of the curriculum. Neither must we allow ourselves to be'"swallowed up " by our desire for learning. There are the social functions which must be supported. No one cares for " the grind " any more than he cares for the frivolous " gad-about." The frosh can now become 'more enthusiastic over their prospective success now that the effects of the first terrible " reign of terror " have " almost " vanished, and we give the seniors their one last chance to contribute thc_ very best tiliat is in them to their Alma Mater. The sophs are egotistical, and the juniors are gay according to tradition, but they will expend their energy in making this a live institution. At the end of litis, a successful year, may we all he able to shoiit: Hurrah for State College! ANOTHER "DON'T" We are proud of our Alma Mater, t re n't we? We have lots of college spirit here at Stale, ton, haven't we? And we know that there is no better place to display this spirit than at a basketball game, don't Uc? Well, then, cheer as though you meant it, and when the ball does a neat little turn around the edge of the basket and doesn't go in, don't groan! '22.

POST-EXAM JUBILEE Continued from Page 1 attended by a very appreciative and appropriate audience, This scene was in deep contrast lo the following ones when the orchestra took their seats, and the gathering assembled about them to' watcli the class stunts. The seniors showed in a striking manner the career of a girl through her college course. How well they pictured to us the "bugbears" o'f each successive year! The frosh put up a hard struggle with required courses. History II and Mathematics I proved almost fatal, but English I came along to save her from the severe initiation. Brcese's sophomore psychology and Painter's little child had lo be encountered during the second year. The junior struggled with required education and methods. The senior battled incessantly with practice teaching, which forever followed her about. Not even little green bugology, the senior's friend, who had remained with her from her freshman year, could separate the pest from her. The senior bravely passed through a course in higher education and psychology till graduation finally seized and threw her out to battle in the world, The juniors presented a tragedy. The whole scene was very dramatic. Court was held and we experienced the trial and execution of Frank • Pierpout Graves, William Billings Aspinwald, and Faith Hope Disappointment, Graves was convicted and pleaded guilty of writing "A Student's History of Education," and Aspinwald was convicted and pleaded guilty of writing "Outlines of tlie History of Education," Disappointment was convicted and pleaded guilty of the crime of being the sixth Prom, man to desert one hopeful junior girl. The three cabbage heads were severed and the judge and executioners took part in a death march about the victims. The sophomore stunt was successful in 'amusing the audience. A freshman and sophomore, upon entering the Dean's office to obtain their marks, were completely dazed to learn lhat they were to take another lest, Dr. I. Knowthenuts, from the Slate Asylum, liad come lo examine (he students, The frosh and sophomore were put through very strenuous intelligence tests. Thenmarks were then given out. One A was given to the sophomore; four li'.t went to the sophomore; two C's, three U'x, and one /•' went lo the freshman. The letters appeared in groups, and were exhibited by study, song, dance, comedy, and mourning, respectively. The freshmen gave the winning stunl. They cleverly staged two lectures, Dean Pierce's famous Wednesday aftcnoou lecture and Professor Rislcy's History II kciure. The class showed remarkable skill in impersonation not only, but readiness to respond to the instruction derived from the lectures. We foretell for them a bright and prosperous future. The rest of the evening was given over lo each one present, who amused himself with whistles, crickels, lollypops, peanuts, kisses, Billy's beer, toddling, etc. We were assured before going that there would be plenty of noise, and there were noises of various kinds. Elaborate caps were furnished to each one. which may well be saved as a symbol of the gaiety of the evening. Everyone was dressed in a costume to represent how happy he was thai exams were over. The prize costume was lhat worn by Mary Whish, '21. Confetti was plentiful throughoul the evening. During the course of the dancing we were drawn lo one side of the gym, where a senior was making a desperate effort to auction off a basket of things received in the "lost and found" box. The bidders were quite quick to respond, for the money was to he used to help pay the ear fare for the frosh who would be sent home.

M o u n t a metal plate on a wire in the lamp near t h e filament. A current f leaps the space between the filament a n d t h e plate when the filament glows. Edison first observed this phenomenon in 1883. Hence it was called t h e " E d i s o n effect." Scientists long studied t h e "effect" b u t they could not explain it satisfactorily. Now, after years of experimenting with Crookes tubes, X-ray tubes and radium, it is known t h a t t h e current t h a t leaps across is a stream of "electrons"—exceedingly minute particles negatively charged with electricity. These electrons play a n i m p o r t a n t p a r t in wireless communication. When a wire grid is interposed between t h e filament a n d t h e plate a n d charged positively, the plate is aided in drawing electrons across; b u t when t h e grid is charged negatively it drives back the electrons. A very small charge applied t o the grid, as small as t h a t received from a feeble wireless wave, is enough to vary the electron stream. So the grid in the t u b e enables a faint wireless impulse to control the very much greater a m o u n t of energy in the flow of electrons, and so radio signals too weak to be perceived b y other means become perceptible b y t h e effects t h a t they produce. J u s t as the movement of a throttle controls a great locomotive in motion, so a wireless wave, b y means of the grid, affects the powerful electron stream. All this followed from studying the mysterious " E d i s o n effect"— a purely scientific discovery. N o one can foresee w h a t results will follow from research in pure science. Sooner or later t h e world m u s t benefit practically from the discovery of new facts. For this reason t h e Research Laboratories of t h e General Electric Company are concerned as much with investigations in pure science as they a r e with t h e improvement of industrial processes a n d products. They, too, have studied t h e " E d i s o n effect" scientifically. T h e result has been a new form of electron tube, known as the " p l i o t r o n " , a t y p e of X - r a y tube free from t h e vagaries of the old t u b e ; a n d the " k e n e t r o n " , which is called b y electrical engineers a "rectifier" because it h a s t h e property of changing an alternating into a direct current. All these improvements followed because t h e Research Laboratories t r y t o discover t h e " h o w " of things.

PRODUCERS OF T H E BETTER C L A S S OF "The two outstanding personages of the last live hundred years, among the English-speaking peoples, were Oliver Cromwell and Abraham Lincoln,'" said John Drinkwater, English dramatist and poet, to a large audience at Chancellor's Hall Tucsda3r night in the course of his lecture on "An English Dramatist's Point of View of Abraham Lincoln." The lecture was given under the direction of the Dramatic and Arts Association of t'hc State -College for Teachers. Prefacing his discussion of Lincoln as a character to appeal to the dramatist, Mr, Drinkwater enunciated his conception of the artist's creed. It is that he sees in the lives of real or imaginary people characteristics, instincts and trends; that he translates Ihese into terms that appeal to readers or hearers and that he is only a good artist so long as he is faithful to this idea. The writer who "gives the public what it wants " n e e d not necessarily be an inferior artist, he said, but often is an excellent one who prostitutes his art to his idea of popularity, Drinkwater, a young Englishman of fine presence and diction, spoke of Lincoln as a man who added to BOOKLETS.

He defined democracy not as "one man as good as another," hut as the opportunity of all living in it to mould their characters so as to be as good as anyone. Lincoln, he said, exemplified the highest expression of democracy in that sense. The dramatist's talk was concerned little with the play of "Abraham Lincoln," but rather with Lincoln as an abstract personage who appeals to the artist interpreting his Ideal. Tt was ALBANY, N. Y. largely analytical, quite impersonal and, as he said, "not John Drinkwater's or any special man's idea of Lincoln," but that of an artist Gliding in Lincoln material for making a great personage real to people in general, Drinkwater prefaced his lecture with a reading from several of his poems which met with appreciative applause, and he concluded with excerpts from the poems that are read by the "Interpreter" 'before each act of his play. Dr. Abram R. Brubacher, president of the State College for Teadhers, introduced Mr. Drinkwater,
