Preparing For Jamaica
Teachers
FIRST GAME DECEMBER 5
The freshman basketball team Saturday night November 14, trimmed the
Rensselaer High School quintet in the
college gym, LI-12. It was the yearling's
first game on home grounds, and they
set the pace throughout the contest.
Carr, versatile player of the frosh, was
llif individual star. His basket, in the
last minute of play, won the game for
the cubs, and he scored on four oilier
occasions making ten of the fourteen
points for his team.
The freshmen
showed great weakness on the free throw
line, missing twelve out of twelve, The
ability of (he high school hoys in locating (he basket on free trys kept them
within striking distance till the final
whistle.
Varsity basketball is developing very
rapidly. Scrimmages and signal practice
took the place of the work on fundamentals in the past week

MISS FUTTERER READS
MONSIEUR BEAUCAIRE
Miss Agnes I7., Futtcrer read Booth
'Parking-ton's "Monsieur Beaucairc" in
the auditorium on Friday evening under
the auspices of the Y. VV. C. A., before a
large audience made up of Albany
drama-lovers as well as of college
students.
The splendid interpretation of the
story proved again Miss
Futtercr's
genuine power in the field of dramatic
reading. Better comment on Miss Futtercr's presentation of this slory can not
be made than that which Mr. Lemuel
13. C. Josephs of the American Academy
of Dramatic Art has said of it. "Your
reading of 'Monsieur Beaucairc' was
most unusual in that it sustained a c intinuity of spirit throughout, a dramatic
ace mplihmcnt that is as gratifying as
it is rare."

annual presentation of plays for January. This year, contrary to the usual

Junior Year Best In College Is Verdict Of Seniors;

The junior year is the best in college

Nine of twelve members of Myskania.
who were among those interviewed,
chose the junior year as the one they
prefer.
The chief reason given for the popularity of the junior year was that, by
then, the student has come to a real

Mary Flanigan said, "1 like the junior

in integral part of college activity in
general. One knows the ropes, and his
friendships reach both fre hme'i and
seniors. Prom and Moving-up Day have
a real significance" The main point in
Harry S. Godfrey's argument is that
"The end of college life is not rear
enough lo overshadow any joys ore n r y

cooir h bchh'd to be forgotten if it has

According to i.orena Shaffer, "Junior

in college functions makes the junior
year a 'jolly' one."

CHANGE IN READING
At the close of the World War the
literary taste of the American public
took a decided slump.
The demand
seemed to turn away from classical and
educative literature to fiction of the
lightest type. Tin's demand came from
professional men all over the country,
from lawyers, doctors and state employees,
The soldiers who had just returned from
the front lines seemed to have developed,
as Mr, Tracey, director of the library
a t . t h e Young Men's Christian Association expressed it, "A moving picture
mind." These men could not concentrate;
they demanded something easy to read,
something that was thrilling and alive.
Naturally they turned to the wild west
type of story, to the vividly pictured
love novel to satisfy their desire. As
a result, hooks on education, philosophy,
art, music, and the like remained on the
shelves of our public, libraries untouched.
At the present time, -dl over the
country, if reports are to he believed,
and many of these reports are hacked by
statistics, there is gradually coining
about a decided change in the tone of
our reading. This change has been especially noted in the libraries of Albany,
according to statements made by M i / ' 1
Elizabeth M. Smith, director of Albany
public libraries
Albanians seem to desire reading which at one time they would
have considered too "heavy."
(f there is such a movement started, it
is part of our duty as college students
to lend our help and support,
ll has
often been said that the reading done by
c o l l c c people is too superficial.
The .
acquisition of a certain amount of well
organized knowledge concerning the
best literature of the past and the prescit
should be part of our educational aim
and we sll""'rl nol stop with the ifniui''g
of the knowledge, but we should endeavor
to educate those with wlnm we come •'••
contact to really appreciate and study
the many mastcrpie-es which our pub''c
libraries afford.
If a nation is to be
judged by its literary taste, let u< <••d e a v r to put A merica among those
which will rank
first.
