INNOCENTS MAKE HIT
Continued from page 1
disappointed in love and with this
bitter sting and contempt of all
womankind still in his mind he was
rearing his sons without any possi
ble contact with the members of
the fairer sex. In charge of the
boys he placed a botany professor,
an auburn comical gentleman, who
proceeded to teach them the know
ledge necessary to further their
education. In the absence of the
colonel a gaie'ty troupe, who were
stranded nearby, visit the estate
and upon their arrival many comi
cal complications ensued.
The play throughout was humor
ous and well balanced. L. Cort, as
colonel, was well fitted for his post.
Raynor, as Professor Simian, was
without a peer. His expression,
natural action and appearance
places him among the best come
dians that the Thespians have ever
had. Bob and Jack, in love with
Caroline and Fifi, carried them
selves well throughout as did
Thatcher representing the daring
aviator.
Considering the difficulty of the
last month the dancing was fairly
good. The members of the chorus
made up well and the girls were in
deed attractive. As debutantes,
Munhall, Ashbrooke, Kressly and
Engle starred, while Liebensbergen
Jimeson, Rishell and Moyer por
trayed the broilers in the usual high
class manner. The men consisted
of Wilson, Fleming, Gold and Free
man as guards and Albert, Cox,
Dawson and Gauthier as sons of
the colonel.
The orchestra was again under
the able direction of John Stanley
Crandell as conductor and the pop
ular hits of the day used in the
show were rendered remarkably
well.
The Easter trip opens at Union
town on Monday, April 13, and
continues at Greensburg, Connells
ville, Clearfield, Tyrone and Belle
fonte on succeeding nights. Harry
G. Shupe, as manager, and Clyde
S. Van Reed, as advertising mana
ger have had considerable trouble
in keeping the schedule intact and
as the production goes into entirely
new territory this year great things
are expected of them.
School of Mines Banquet
The annual banquet of the Min
ing Engineering Society was held
at Nittany Inn on Saturday Even
ing, March 28. About 65 were
present and spent a very enjoyable
evening.
Mr. George J. Salmon, 1914,
president of the society, was toast
master. The toasts were responded
to in the following order:
Aspects of the School of Mines,
Dr. Edwin E. Sparks; Readings,
selected, Mr. Reid Austin; A Little
Vaudeville, Dr. Walter R. Crane;
Teaching Foreigners English, Dr.
Peter Roberts; Evolution, Dr. El
wood S. Moore.
Dr, Sparks spoke of the need of
a more liberal education in the
engineering courses. Mr. Austin
gave several very good selections.
Dr. Crane favored those present
with some very lively lantern
vaudeville.
The guest of honor, Dr. Peter
Soberts, Secretary of the advisory
committee on Immigration of the
Industrial Department of the Y. M.
C. A., and originator of the Roberts
System for teaching foreigners
English, gave a very interesting
talk on his work.
Dr. Moore’s lantern talk on Evo
lution was very enlightening, and he
was followed by Mr. E. W. Smith,
who brought down the house with
his tale of the Palaeozaic Girl and
his song of the School of Met
allurgy.
Engineering Societies Meet
The engineering societies held a
joint meeting on March 26 which
found members from the Civil,
Electrical, Mechanical and Industri
al Engineering societies in attend
ance. The speakers of the evening
were Dean Holmes, Dean Walker,
Professor Diemer, J. W. Carpenter
T 4, and H. L. Hughes 'l4. Sever
al pleasing musical selections were
heard from Leyden T 4 and Gilles
pie T 6. A feed and smoker fol
lowed the meeting, at which souve
nirs in the form of cigarette cases
were distributed. These were the
gift of the Liggitt and Myers
Tobacco Company and weie ob
tained through the courtesy of
“Graham on the corner”. The suc
cess of the meeting has assured its
being repeated in the near future.
Engineering Notes
Last week Mr. Howard Rhode
gave an illustrated lecture on the
manufacture of Lehigh Portland
cement. Mr. Wood donated the
use of his building which was near
ly filled with engineering students
who were excused from classes
during the lecture.
Later, the same day. the speaker
addressed a large audience in the
engineering building on the con
struction of concrete roads.
Both meetings were instructive
and thoroughly enjoyed by the
engineers.
A mass meeting will be held in
the Auditorium at 6:30 Thursday
evening April 2nd, under the
auspices of the Civic Club. The
Club has secured the Hon. Vance
C. McCormick, Harrisburg; Hon.
A. Mitchell Palmer, Hon. William
H. Berry, and Hon. William T.
Creasy, to address the students.
Invitations have also been extended
to all other candidates for the
senatorship and governorship to
visit the college during the coming
campaign.
A new honor system has been
adopted at Wisconsin in which the
students merely sign papers at the
close of the year stating that they
never gave nor received aid duiing
exams.
The Division of Engineering Ex
tension has started a class at
Lebanon. This class is for the ben
efit of the employees of the iron
works in that town.
