Thursday, APRIL 20. 1905 EDITORIAL There are probably two sides to the question but it seems to be the prevailing sentiment of the student body in general that the newly formed Glee and Mandolin Clubs are not getting all the encourage ment that they deserve. We refer to the fact that the members of the clubs were compelled to take cuts, some of them excesses, in order to keep their engagement at Johnstown last week. Almost every college in the country has its musical organiza tions. In this respect we have been decidedly in the background. We know oflno better method for ad vertising the College. The Johns town papers last week contained several articles complimenting the work of our clubs. What better advertisementcan the college wish for ? Look at it from another point. It is the aim of the Faculty to give the gtudent, besides his necessary tech- nical education, a general collegiate training, that which can be obtained only at a good college. The train ing that the members of thie musical clubs receive is above par. There is one thing certain. The Glee and Mandolin clubs cannot exist unless they receive more encouragement from the Faculty. 'O6, Chief, Still they come; six victories and no defeats. Our baseball team is certainly gaining an enviable reputation. Now while we think of it let us be on our guard and try to avert an “off” day. Vic tory upon victory has turned many a head. We must profit by others’ experience and enter every game from now on with the same spirit that made our baseball season thus far successful; that same spirit that gave us a prosperous basketball sea son; that same spirit that won our football game with Dickinson last Thanksgiving Day. R. B. Meckley, 'OB S. S. Riddle, ’OB Packard, the Humorist, will ap pear in the Old Chapel next Satur day evening. This is the last num ber of the Y. M. C. A. course and should be greeted by a large au dience. His entertainment will con sist of cartoon work, comic songs, piano playing in addition to his regu lar work as a humorist. The prices will be twenty-five and thirty-five cents. At a meeting of the Junior class last Satuaday evening it was decided that Freshmen be debarred from the Junior Assembly.

The Senior Promenade, The Senior Promenade held last Friday evening in the Armory was a decided success both financially and otherwise. In the first place, the evening was ideal; nothing better could be wanted in the way of fine weather. The decorations were rather elaborate and were furnished and installed by Vollmer, the deco rator. Ketterning’s Orchestra of Greens burg, rendered the music which was of an unusually good quality. The floor was in excellent condition. Harrison of town acted as caterer. The following committee had the dance in charge : Gordon Chairman, W. Henry Robinson, R. J. Peschko, Edward D. Gerber and J. Kurtz Hoskins. Mechanical Engineers Enter- tained Prof. and Mrs. Reber entertained the Mechanical Engineering Society at their home on Wednesday even ing of last week.
