"In every pulse o( Friendship's hear I
There breeds unfell a 111r..•. of pain,
One In,lli- must lend i|s link* apart,
Though years on years have forced the
chain."
The student body was greatly saddened last week by the death ol one ol our
faculty members, Although we had missed the friendly greeting ol Miss Loeb
in our halls this year, we had Imped to see her back among us soon, Miss Loeb
became a member of our facility in 1905, and had met and known many State
college students who will greatly cherish their memories of her.
Miss Loci) was a lover of foreign languages and bad served as llie head
of our French department since 1915. She had previously acted as a supervisor
of practice teaching in the Milne lligh school, She was active iu several
student activities and was always willing to aid us iu then).
With the poet we realize that another of our fines! links has been taken from
our chain of friendships.
A notre professeur il fnul dire adieu; mais elle restera toujours dans noire
pensce.
NON-PAYERS MUST RESIGN
POSITIONS
Again the finance hoard is faced wilh the very unpleasant task of fulfilling Its
duly in regard to student tax collections. T h e hoard members had anticipated
better returns from the sitideni body ibis year in view of the fact that the tax
was reduced from thirteen dollars to ten. Although the total number of tickets
sold has shown a slight increase Ibis year over the total number sold last year,
the total amount of money received to date is approximately $1,1911 less,
As slated iu an article on page one of this issue, all ollicers, spiff members, and
try-outs hlr activities sponsored by the Student association will be asked to resign
their positions unless their student lax tickets are purchased at a dale to be set
as soon as the State scholarship checks are issued. The board members believe
that il is unfair lo allow students who do not support the activities lo till a position which lax-payers might fill.
The first play needed a something that
is hard to describe. Miss Sliiimers gave
her usual exielleiii character portrait
but with all her speed, she couldn't get
the rest of the cast moving. Miss Taylor, we felt, was miscast and not any too
Mire of her lines. Miss O'Brien had
possibilities but slowed up the plaj considerably. Once more—a hot dish was
picked ui> without the ever evasive not
holder.
On the whole—the plays get less
amateurish every \vcek~-hi fact, we
hardly recognized the old furniture so
well was it disguised. Progress due to
excellent direction. Congratulations.
TI1K P L A Y G O E R
Did you ever stop to consider snine of
the peculiar customs which thrive at Slate
College:- I picked out a few that surely
deserve comment.
If a State man takes a Stale girl mil
to a show or elsewhere more than twice
in a row, gossipers have it that the pair
are practically engaged. If be lake- her

married. Then, if die unlucky fellow has
the urge to, and does d a t e ' s o m e other
girl, he's a no-good two-tinier and eels
talked about. With the girl it's somi
what different. .She can carry on friendships with several at die same ti

Another concerns llie possibility of dating sorority sisters. What wrong is there
in it? It lias been known lo cause unusually, uncalled for hard feelings between sororily sisters, if two ol them

abundant lives," (be president said, f
