The L. A. S. Play.
The Liberal Arts Society will
present “The Rivals" in the Audi
torium Nov. 23. This play writ
ten by Richard Sheridan, is closely
linked with the great actor Joseph
Jefferson.
Concerning the cast many good
things can be said. Miss Jean Mc-
Namey, who starred last year in
Oliver Goldsmith's "She Stoops to
Conquer,” will assume the role of
the leading lady, “Mrs. Malaprop",
Mr. A, W. Tuholski will play the
part of “Bob Acres.” Miss Helen
White, Miss Mary K. Jackson, and
Miss Florence Powdermaker will
impersonate “Lydia Languish”,
“Julia Melville”, and “Lucy”, re
spectively. Mr. Ross as “Sir
Anthony Absolute,” Mr. Nichols as
“Captain Jack Absolute,"Mr. Russell
as “Faulkland,” R. A. Kester as
"Lucius O’Trigger,” Mr. Gleim as
“Fag,” and Mr. L. R. Warner as
"David” will each contribute a
unique feature to the acting.
Professor J. H. Frizzell, upon
whom the entire burden of training
the players formerly devolved, has
recently been aided in his com
mendable work by Professor C. O.
Harris. Professor Dye will also
augment the training staff.
Tickets will be on sale at the
Business Office on Saturday Nov.
16, from 6:30 to 8:00 p. m„ for
members of the faculty, and on
Monday and Wednesday Nov. 18
and 20 from 6:30 to 8:00 p. m. for
the- general public. The prices
will be 25, 35, and 50 cents. L. R.
Warner is the Business Manager of
the play.
Interclass Wrestling Meet.
Tonight (Wednesday evening) at
7 o’clock in the Armory, the sopho
more and freshman classes meet in
their first athletic contest, the
annual Interclass Wrestling Match.
The freshmen, under the tutelage
of upperclassmen have been making
rapid strides and will present a
strong team to contest for the hon
ors of being winners, while the
sophomores, because of their greater
experience feel confident of victory.
Nevertheless the fact that they
have been working hard shows that
they respect their opponents and
that they are going to be prepared
to meet all exigencies. Without a
doubt the meet will be an interest
ing one, since the freshmen wish to
retain the prestige gained by win
ning the Cider Scrap, and the
sophomores seek to avenge that de
feat with an overwhelming victory.
The first match will start at seven
o’clock. An admission of ten
cents (10 c) will be charged and a
section of seats will be reserved for
ladies and members of the faculty.

Where Our Freshmen Come From.
Professor Espensbade, the Regis
trar of the College, has furnished us
with the following facts about the
Freshman Class that entered col
lege in September, 1912:
The 657 Freshmen were prepared
for college in 343 different schools,
271 public high schools and 72
private preparatory schools. Eighty
Freshmen attended two or more
different schools, most of them be
ginning their preparation in a public
high school and completing it in a
private preparatory school. Five
hundred and eighteen Freshmen
were wholly prepared in public high
schools; 85 were wholly prepared in
private preparatory schools and
53 were partly prepared in public
high schools and partly in private
schools.
Of the 343 different schools that
have prepared students for the
Freshmen Class, 277 are located in
Pennsylvania, and 66 are situated
outside the State. Two hundred and
eighteen schools have but a single
representative.
Four of the leading schools are
as follows:
Northeast Manual Training H. S.
of Philadelphia 18; Harrisburg Cen
tral H. S- 16; State College H. S.
14; York H. S. 14.
The Pilgrim Girls,
Those who attended last Satur
day’s evening performance certainly
witnessed a very satisfying enter
tainment. The Pilgrim Girls who
were garbed in the costumes of
their namesakes combined to form
a most efficient musical company,
which evidenced excellent talent in
the young ladies, and the appli
cation of concentrated training.
The program was made up of
classical selections played by the
entire orchestra, and of individual
readings and solos by the various
members. Miss Chesney, the read
er, received much commendation.
Everything she undertook she did
.well, and she had the special ad
vantage of an exceedingly agree
able, strong, and well managed
voice.
The evening was a success, and
the persons that were unable to at-

WE WONDER.
How “Collegian” readers like the
aristocratic vocation of cutting
coupons.
Who the men will be that will
draw unto themselves the most
coupons.
Why the evening campus yodelers
do not affiliate with the glee club.
Why people write play advertise
ments and the like on the vertical
steps around college, instead of con
fining them to the bulletin boards.
How the army is progressing in
preparation for Pennsylvania Day.
Who gives vent to those wierd
yells on the campus in the evening
hours.
