There is much more Interest being

among his friends and the students of
Penn State as "Dail" Parket. hoe re
called to mind many of the stunts and
pranks that Penn State students tiled
to play on "Dad" and the Bellefonte
Central in the daßi of yore
"Dad" Parker came to Bellefonte In
the timing of 1886 Chen the Bellefonte
Central Railroad was being bunt lq the
Collins Brothers An soon as the road
wee completed, Mr Parker was made
conductor on the passenger train, a po
sition which he filled until he was re
tired last fall In the thirty years of
his service In that capacity Ile collect
ed tickets from thousands of stuents
as they went back and forth to the col
lege and It was from these relations
that' many interceting, and oftimes
combo, incidents developed
In the days before the busses made
their trips between Bellefonte and State
College, the Bellefonte Central was the I
only means-of getting to the college
Consequently, the students became well
acquainted with the good natured little
conductor and never tired of Waling
hicks on him and poking fun at his
railroad
To those early Penn State men, the
Bellefonte Central was always referred
to as "Parker's Boat" It scams that
one spring about tmen - ty-five years ago,
the section of track near Kumrine Sta
tion was under water on amount of the
enrollee condition of the nearby creek
"Dad" thought that the water was not
deep enough to hinder the pasmge of
his train, so he gave orders for full
speed ahead to get through the flood
But before the engine bad covered half
of the distance, tho waters had reached
the fire box and the Bellefonte Central
as hopelessly stranded between her
two terminals with no Mende means of
getting out. From that time until the
big yellow bussen supplanted the work
of the railroad, the paeenngor trains
mere always called "Parker's Boat," and
it is doubtful whether a man who grad
uated around MOS would have known it
by any other name
Professor Willard tells a story an Mr
Parker that Is typical of the sort of
tricks that the students used to play on
Parker's Boat It was the age - when
Freshman banquets were in vogue and
on this particular occasion the wearers
of the Wink had held their banquet in
Williamsport They had succeeded in
eluding the Sophotnores'and were re
turning from the festivities some time
after midnight, all In a good humor and
much pleased with themselves for their
victory over the second year men. But
a disappointment was In store for the
merry-makers that marred the pleasure
of their least and nerved to throw
"Dad" Into a fit of 111-hurner. Just no
