Cadets at Bellefonte
The entire cadet battalion, which,
with the band numbered 310 men,
took part in the exercises at Bellefonte
on last Friday. The occasion was the
unveiling of the, statue of Andrew G.
Curtin, Pennsylvania's War Governor,
and of a monument to the soldiers and
sailors of Centre County. The bat
talion left the College shortly after ten
o'clock, and arrived at Bellefonte in
time for the parade, which formed in
line about half past eleven. The par
ticipants in the parade, which covered
the principal streets, were the chief
Marshall, Gen. John I. Curtin, and
staff, Col. Elder and staff, parts of the
Fifth and Twelfth Regiments, Gov
ernor Pennypacker and staff, Generals
Gobin and Wiley with their staffs, the
State College battalion, Sheridan
Troop of Tyrone, the G. A. R., the
Fire Department, and other organiza
tions. The State boys, in blue coats
and white trousers, added not a little
to the parade, and received applause
all along the line of march. In the
afternoon occurred the unveiling of
the statue and the monument.
Short addresses were delivered by
Gov. Pennypacker, Gen. Beaver, and
others. The return trip was unevent
ful, the train reaching the College be
fore six o'clock.
The excellent showing made by the
battalion greatly increases the chances
of going to Harrisburg next October to
participate in the dedication of the
new Capitol.
Y.M.C.A. Meeting
On Sunday evening at 6.30 the
college Young Men's Ceristian Asso
ciation held an open , air meeting on
front campus.
There was a large attendance both
of college men and visitors. Dr.
Patterson who delivered the Baccalau
reate sermon in the morning addressed
the meeting and in a short straight
forward talk made plain a man's use
fulness in the world. Many songs
were introduced into the service and
the meeting was thoroughly enjoyed
by all.
THE STATE- COLLEGIAN
The Thespians.
The commencement production by
The Thespians in the three-act farce
comedy entitled " Facing the Music"
was presented in the Auditorium last
evening. 'The performance, which
WS well rendered, fully sustained the
good reputation which The Thespians
has won as a college dramatic
organization. All of the characters
were well brought out and this fact to
gether with the peculiar action of the
play made the audience an apprecia
tive one. The amusing complications
between the Rev. and Mrs. John
Smith and Mr. and Mrs. John Smith
were the richest parts of the play.
The plot which is v,o-ked out in two
hours was full of comical situations
and the large. audience thoroughly en
joyed it. The college orchestra ren
dered some very good selections from
popular comic operas of the day.

COLLEGE NOTES
The Freshmen—or rather Sopho
mores—placed a large star on top of
the flag-pole last Saturday night..
During the night, however, it fell.
The next night a well—balanced arrow
was substituted.
The fifty couples who enjoyed the
Philochorean dance held in McAllister
Hall Monday night,unite . in declaring it
a complete success. The music; which
was excellent, was furnished by the
Comstock Orchestra of Sunbury, Pa.
The prograni consisted of twenty-four
dances and four extras, besides nu
merous encores. The refreshments
were served by Mr. Housel, the caterer
for McAllister Hall. The small white
programs were neat and attractive.
The men who had charge of the affair
were Adams, Dumm and Lorah, of
'O6, with Root and Smith of 'O7.
While the Philochorean dance was
being held in McAllister Hall, the fra
ternites and clubs were holding dances
in their houses. The music was furn
ished by out-of-town talent, and as
usual the dances proved to very en
joyable.
