For catalogue, bulletins, announcement,, etc., address THE COLLEGE WIDOW Big Cast Including Fifteen Real Live Girls and One Inimitable Crocket On Thursday, March 30. when the glowing noonday sun ceases to shed its splendors and hides its smiling face in the dark and mys terious bosom of the glowing west, 50 of the most glittering actors of the college and 15 fascinating girls will produce Georgt Ade's great musical, comedy, "The College Widow," in the Auditorium: As the curtain rises Mr. Ciockett, of supreme histrionic , fame, makes his entrance by swift gazelle like movements, inhales a dollar's worth of calm, cooling, atmosphere, places his hand in, the region of his v'eft pocket, expands his osculatory ori fice and voices those few lines of Milton: "I feel kind of sad and bilious, Because, My heart' keep' 'sighing, 'lt couldn't was.' " However, he , immediately gains his posture, as "Miss Jane Wither spoon," the college widow, his daughter, makes her entrance. She is accompanied, by the dashing "BeSs Tranner," (Miss Burrows,) the the athletic girl, whose presence stimulates in one's being thoughts of romance. A Southern "Miss Flora Wiggins" ( Miss Sharpe) as the vivacious boarding house keep er's daughter, with the' Swiss sunset hair, lends splendor to 'all the scenes. "Billy Bolton," (Tom Piol let); Hon. Elam Hicks, ( Prof. W. S. Dye), "Mattie McGowan" (Burly Watson); "Copernicus Talbot," (Mr. Hansen)—All are irresistibly funny. "Jack Larabee," ( Harry Weaver), is the Coach. In this part the audience is treated to a dis play of rare ability. "Tom Pear son" (Jack Eberline) as the hero of the game leaves nothing to be de sired in the thrill line, and "Elam Hicks" as the member of legislature who has inbibed too freely of Dry Martinis keeps the , audience in a continuous state of laughter. Space does not permit us tti out line the work of such • characters as "Hiram Bolton" ( Dale Mason), "011ie Mitchell"; ( Mr. James); 'Dick McAllister", ( Dexter Very), 'Mrs. Dalzelle", the dashing young Widow, ( Miss Snyder); , and a multitude of others. It is sufficient to say they're all there, and "there with it".' "Jane" gazes retrospectively out of the window and says: —"Father, can't Silent Murphy, ( Mr. Goed ecke), play on the football team ?" President Peter Witherspoo4, (Crockett), places his feet at an angle of 45 degrees, gazes naively out into shallow space then replies ,in deep Hamlet tones, "No I" After - arranging her hair, "Miss Wither sPoon" faints,Crockett gathers her in his brawny arms,and— -but gentle reader, we will stop here; you will I , have to pay the regular admission "to get the rest. 'The musical comedy is filled full of just such heart touching scenes as this. "Stub Talmage", ( Mr. Miles), is exceptionally fine. The rendition of this gait would do credit to a professional actor.

Owing to circumstances beyond control it j has been impossible to get the' fellows together for the last two years so that this was, the first meet ing since 1908. All expressed the hope that nothing would interfere with the next banquet which we ex pect to hold next spring. Eighteen, enthusiastic Penn State men, ragn ing, in 'elapses, from the earliest to the latest, sat down at the table and renewed old friendships and made new ones: After 'reading a letter frOm Dr. Sparks telling 'of the present conditions at State and ex preSsing great hopes for her future, Mr. F. A. Bryan, president of the society called on Mr. C. E Denney to 'act as toastmaster. Mr. Denney first called. on Prof. C. Alfred Smith, a member of the class of '6l, and for five years Prof. of Chemistry at State who spoke about the early struggle of State to gain recognition from the leg:slature and people of the State. Mr. J. M. Waldron 'B9 of New York next spoke of the growth arid influence of the New York branch and expressed' the hope that the Chicago branch would soon equal if not excell that in New York. Mr. J. C: Mock '9O, told of our early struggles ,in athletics, espe cially football. Mr. W. B. Jackson 'co, followed with a few remarks on the early baseball. „ , Mr. W. M. Camp '9l, gave some reminiscence of dormitory life in the early 90's. Next in, order came a short busi ness session at which officers were elected for the ensuing year. The officers elected were J. M. Thomp son 'O7, Pres , Wm. P. Jackson '9O, Vice Prts . ., C., L. Armsby 04, Secy. & Treas• Those present were, Prof. C. 'Al fred Smith '6l, J. M. Waldron 89, of New York City; F. A. Bryan, '9O; of South Bend, Ind, *Wm. B. Jack son, '9O, J. C. Mock, '9O, of Detroit Mich., W. M. Camp, '9l, H. E. Greenwood '93, Columbus, O.: J. M: Thompson,.'97, of Hammond, Md., J. L.

Speer 'lO, J. J. Spangler 'lO. The officers `are very ' desirous of making the Chicago branch of the association the strongest and best of all the local societies, not even ex cepting Pittsburg which numbers something like 200, and for this reason all Penn State men in Chi cago or vicinity are requested to send their name, class, and address to the secrertay as soon as possible. The. Interclass 13asketball League, which closed its season last week, made, among other things, a le markable'record for itself During the season two important facts ale worthy of note They ale the good management through which the league was able to be successfully run, and the other, the high stand- State , : THE REGISTRAR, State Colleg-e„Pennsylvania, Interclass Basketball I . ITP: FtTITI 7 , COT,T,PAIT AN College and of athletics that was establisheL by the players In connection with the work of the management of the League it is plainly seen, that the plan was financially successful. The total gate receipts amounted to two hun dred and two dollars, while the total expenses were less than one hun dred and ninety dollars. The means, through which the League proved able to pay all necessary ex penses, was made possible, only by' careful arrangement of dates, and , by the many small things that successful managers do to maks& athletics , appeal to spectators. On the other hand, little need be I said concerning the high standard of the athletes. From the start the players of all teams realized, by competition for positions, that man to do justice . ' to himself and to to his class, must keep in the best physical condition. The fact that forty men remained in training for three months of the wintpr should justify ,any small shortcom ings that developed dining the sea son. The spirit of rivalry between the foUr teams, while sometimes in tense, was always fair. Many of the personal conflicts that marked the gams Of last season, were al most unseen and unheard of during this"series of games. A comparison of the the of the games shows that the sopho mores won eight games and lost one game, thus entitling them to the first place in standing. The seniors and juniors tied for second place, each having won four and lost five games, while the freshmen, through lack of experience and lack of praCtice, are in third place with two games won' and seven lost. Armilay. 'l2, reads the players in number of field goals secured, but Rogers 'l3, taking the total number. of points into consideration, scored two points more than Armsby. Armsby's record _shows 46 ,goat's from field and 22 fouls, a total of 114 points, while Rogers made 42 field goals and 32 shots from the foul line, a totil of 116 points Coopey 'l2 and Miller ,'ll were strong ill the defensive positions'on their respective teams and O'Neil's work for the seniors was the best seen'in the League. Thus in shOrt the management and players of the Interclass basketball l6gue produc ed a series of games winter that were highly beneficial to them selves, and that afforded much spOrt to the. large number of stu dents who witnessed the games, Resolutions of Condolence Whereas God in his infinite wisdom has seen fit to call from our beloved classmate Lester L.
