EDITORIAL
At the annual election held this
week Arthur W. Fisher,
chosen editor-in-chief of The Col
legian for the ensui ig year, and F.
H. Berkebile, 'lO was elected busi
ness manager. The former will have
charge of the editorial work after the
Easter vacation, while the new man-
ager will work in conjunction with
the present manager during the re
mainder of tne college year, and will
assume full charge in September.
In this the last issue to be pub
lished during his term of office, the
editor wishes to express his appreci
ation of the support given during the
last two years by the members of
board and by the students, and to
bespeak for the new editor the same
loyal support. Weeks must come
in the routine of college work when
news is scarce, when apparently
nothing happens outside of the usual
daily occurences; and only those
who have been in the work can ap
preciate how hard it is to get out an

The spring performance of the
Pharsonians was given Friday night
before a large audience. Many of
last year’s favorites were on the
bill, and a number of new faces
made their first' appearance. The
circle, with Heltman ’lO, as inter
locutor, though hardly up to last
year’s high standard, caused many
a good laugh, and introduced a

interesting and readable paper at

The hearty co-operation of Presi
dent Sparks has been given at all
times, and it is only because of his
kindness that we have been able to
secure news which it would have
been possible to get in no other way.
On behalf of the men who will
have charge of the paper in the fut

in the hope that the paper may con
tinue to grow in usefulness, and may
become an indispensable part of our
college life. .

large number of new songs. Six
end men created the usual merri
ment. McCoy, Breese, Nicholson,
Von Senden, Waha and Armstrong
received most favor at the hands of
the appreciative audience, with their
songs.
In the olio, Foster and Armstrong
as Crane and Barton in the sketch
“On and Off,” came in for a good
round of applause, and tne musical
melange given by Ober, Chapman
and Snavely was a big success.
Snavely proved himself a versatile
musician, and the comedy part was
well carried by the other members
of the trio. Waha. in a song sketch,
made a hit.
The final scene, The Lamb’s Club
entertainment, was the best part of
the evening’s program. The mem
bers of the club were presented in a
grill room scene, which was most
effectively staged, and had some
unique lighting' effects. The songs
introduced in this act were very ap
propriate, and Foster, as Senorita
Inez Panatella in her latest dance,
brought forth much applause by
rendering the nearesi approach to a
Salome dance seen in State College.
Though the show dragged a little
owing to frequent changes of cos
tumes and stage change, it was a big
success and merited the many ap
proving comments it has received.
