ENTERTAINMENT
A Most Cordial Reception Given to
the New Students in the Armory
by the Christian Association•
During the last few years the an
nual reception
. to freshmen by the
Young Men's Christian Association
has indeed been growing in its pro
portions. But it seemed as though
the Armory had been ta2ted to its ful
lest ari.the,evening of Sept. 16, when
about, sixteen hundred' people had
gathered, , or more , correctly, had
erowdea, .into a building which had
grown too "Small 'for the purpose.
However it was a distinctly eventful
evening both because of the large
number's fire'sent'and 'the acceptable
progam rendered. All about the
hall were prettily decorated tables
on which ;were heaped tempting
things to eat and behind which at
tractive ladies beamed and added .
untold charm to the whole occa-
F. H. Johnson 'll, president of
the association,' intrciduceds, Dr.
Sparks who gave,a speech of-'wel-'
dime hi his customary' interesting
manner. The Reverend. John . R.
Woodcock, fii.st secretary of, State's
Y. M.' 'C. '4., delivered a few re
marks and pointed out in striking
contrast the early history Of our
now ;Prominent organization. '
The glee club interspersed the
prograin with a few pleasing selee
tions, which were very much-en
joyed by all guests. Editor Breit
inger '4l, addressed the students on
the subject of the • Collegian.' His
remarks were especially directed to
wards getting the freshmen inter
ested in our owm,college, weekly,
either through actual work on
the : paper or financial assistance
insubscribing to it.
Debating was discussed by J.
Osuna 'l2 who was one of the
prominent members of the , Varsity
Debating team last year. He gave
a summary of our past history in
debating, a wonderful story of
achievement in consideration, of the
prevailing scientific character of our
institution and concluded with an
appeal for new men. Several
places are left open by the de
parture of such men as Schnerr,
Work•and Faust. _
"Alec" Gray was greeted with the
college yell, as ,he arose to speak on
his chosen subject "Athletics." A
strong and effective speech was de
liveredliy Toro 110114 'll, who is
'assistant secretary. of, the, Young
Men's Christian Association.'
One of the special features of-the
evening was the presentation of a
college song, the words and music
of which were written by Karl B.
Lohman 'lO. The selection was
sung first by A. P. Gray 3rd, and
then taken up by the whole aud
ience. It was clearly evinced by
the spirit and ardor with which
the audience sang the song that Mr.
Lohman's composition was not only
a most artistically written one, but
also the most catchy song that has
ever been Written by a Penn State
man. From the popularity of the
music, shown both at the reception
and on the campus since then, it, is
safe to say that Penn_ State is a suc
cess, The words follow: „
Here's A SOng to old Penn State, boys,
Let her ring, oh, let her ring,
May our hearts be bound loreer, boys
Let us smg, oh, let us sing.
To the greatest Alma Mater
Purer than the crystal water
Here's a song to thee, Penn State
Like a.ship upon the billows,
Loud the storm, oh, loud the storm ,
Fearless plowing on forever";
Old Penn State your mighty form
Blue and white your colors flying
Gives each State man love undying—
Here's a song to thee, Penn State
Through the endless years to come, boys,
Let us sing, oh, let ns sing
Joyfully to Alma Mater;
Let her ring, oh, let her ring
Tho the cloud may sunshine sever,
, We'll be leal, now and forever—
Here:s a song to,thel, Penn, State. -
Professor Agee, acting dean of
the'school of agriculture followed in
a characteristic address of his.
The remarks were directed ino e
particularly to the ' , freshmen and,
were indeed appreciated, The pro
gram closed by the singing of the
Alma Mater and selections by the
college orchestra.
