The Sophomore Banquet
Twas on the first day of Dec
ember, on Friday evening at 11
o'clock that the memorial event
took place at the Fort Pitt Hotel in
Pittsburg. It was the Sophomore
Banquet, and as 1914 has not been
lax in any of its doings, it was a
banquet to be proud of.
"Rhiny" Rheinhardt was toast
master, and he was a good one.
"Rusty" Ross spoke about the
faculty, a most important topic. •
"Bill" Hile spoke about "Scraps"
and he had a truly glorious past to
speak about.
"Jimmey" Leyden, - delivered
himself of a little speech entitled
"Maids", which was of great con
cern to everyone.
"Louie" Lindsay in admirable
oratory, pictured the grandeur and
glory of "Old Penn State".
"Shorty Miller", our famous little
quarterback. told us why and
wherefore, Penn State is so suc
cessful in "At iletics".
"Jawn" Harmon in a comical lit
tle selection entitled "B. S." gave
solace and cheer to everyone
present.
Although the whole Sophomore
class was not present, those that
were, were so imbued with an over
flow of good cheer and spirit that
the class of 1914 was well
represented.
The credit for the brilliant suc
cess of the banquet is due to a very
eHicip..or, committee, INltich worked
with untiring zeal to accomplish
what it did.
The committee was composed of
Harold Dußois Foster. Chairman
Gail Dean McDowell.
Frank Winger Varden.
John Henry Quirk.
Emery Clyde Resch.
William Frank Ifntriken Jr.
George Gage.
Let us hope that the class of
1914 is to have a few more of such
glorious celebrations.

International Correspondence
The German Department has
registered this semester f:fty-six
students in the International Cor
respondence cot,rse. The object
of this course is to pract:ce
letter writing in a foreign language.
to learn foreign customs, mannes
and traditions, and to acquire the
foreigner's view-point in matters of
language as well as of life. The
growing interest in this new field is
attested by the fact that the enrol
ment of students actively engaged
in exchanging letters has doubled
within a year.

The Junior Banquet
On last Friday, December 1, at
eleven o'clock, the beautiful Norse
Room of the Fort Pitc Hotel at
Pittsburg was the scene of the most
successful banquet ever held by the
class of 1913. It was an exception
ally good junior banquet—a ban
quet which enabled one very easily
to fill himself with the usual "good
eats" of a class banquet, but in
which such genuine college and
class spirit aroused by speech, yell,
and song, prevailed that one could
not possibly avoid being completely
filled with it.
A most pleasing feature of the
banquet was the introduction of a
new Penn State song written by R.
N. Heim 'l3. Judging from the
manner in which every fellow
helped in producing this song for
the first time, it will be a popular
one.
With E. L. Moffitt as toastmaster
the following toasts were responded
to : "1913," J. L. Shollenberger;
`Football," D. W. Very; "The
Eternal Question," R. W. Heim;
"Our Dignity," A. A. Hansen;
"Knowledge," H. P. Kocher; "To
Penn State," E. S. Rinkenbach, Jr.
The four prominent guests :
Coach "Big Bill" Hollenback, U.
of P.; U. S. Umstad, Coznell-'015;
Judge Fred G. White, University of
Ill.; and "Jim" Corbett, Penn State
ex-'O7, each responded to Mr. Mof
fitt's calls. Buka and Smith, form
erly of 'l3, were alsz, present and
with several others expressed their
sentiments in impromptu speeches.
Dr. Holmes Coining
A popular college man will spend
next Saturday and Sunday at State
College, Dr. Aithur T. Holmes, of
the University of Pennsylvania.
He naturally attracts men by his
forceful, virile, vital Christianity.
"Pete" Johnson, Piolett, Coughlin,
and many others hail him as the
most popular speaker at the summer
conference at Pocono Pines, and
his Bible classes are crowded. He
will also give an illustrated lecture
on Saturday night. He will be
used at a number of group meet
ings, so be sure and sign up for one
of them. _
The college week of prayer will
be held next week, beginning with
Monday night. There will be
meetings every evening at 6.30 in
the Old Chapel, conducted by
Chaplain Reed,
