classes and organi- zations begin The minature camera addict in his flights about the campus catches many pertinent shots of the students and faculty. Clearly symbolic of the lofty aspirations of the incoming students is the famed tower of Old Main. Steps resounding on the walk to the library ami s-eiu ' s such as the Saxe- Shetron coir.liiiialiuii grinding away on the books indicate thi- industrious beginning of the new year. Incredulous ones need be reminded that no trick photography placed King of the Buckles Laird on the walk leading from the library. Tied with this shot for the years ' most unusual one is the candid view of the Day Men ' s room showing Buckie Reese workin ' away on the books. A fleeting moment of pleasure is gone as the Coarh arrives in time for classes and the ardent fans of the latest swing hurry to meet waiting professors. Spangler and Eichelberger are as usual together; Walck is free lancing but Dog- gie Clippinger was there to gape and help fill the stag line compossd indiscrimi- nately of lads and lassies. Through sleepy eyes the boys greet the morning mist under Solomon ' s Temple. By mid-day Miss Mary Keys York is seen, the last mortal leaving Old Main, as we scramble in response to the latest fire drill. Photographer Stanley Rotz met some friends who refused to be candid but posed quite prettily. Typical of the romantically inclined was the tendency to avoid the crowds and ren- dezvous in obscure corners. Though unusually vacant, the library could well be used by the pinochlers caught here. Treher polishes his Ford and later es- corts Frank Leslie Coffey down to teach. Prof. Mark stands in the lime-light and looks for something apparently lost. Prof. Stewart who lends classical scholar- ship to our faculty pauses in his morning stroll to puff a Robert Burns cigar whilj the cameraman clicks the shutter. L ly I

and the rest of the ' gang students old and new enter the building? across the bridge and assemble on easy divans in the girls ' court. Pleasant chatter permeates the usual calm dignity of the atmosphere as the girls formulate plans for the coming year. Here are held the stu- ilent teas and here also the dates arrive to be gazed upon by pajama clad figures at the railings above. The men, it was be- lifvrd, reciprocated the glances and drapss were luirehased to reinforce the bannisters a.uaiiist surreptitious eyes. Under famed Solomon ' s temple, learned Senior Duane Kirssin outlines plans for the year and gives scholarly advice to winsome Willard Kerr of the Junior class. Sopho- more Richard Nell following the camera- man eavesdrops and gleans inestimable knowledge. During the quiet lull in the general tumult of the Day Men ' s Room, Worry Willy Rotz and Chess Hoover play to a thrilling draw as the Rowland sponsored group prepares for a match. A step up from the Chess Club we view the pinochle tycoons as they go into the first week of play in the year long contest. The above mentioned groups account to a considerable extent for the vacant seats as Dr. Rowland makes his initial chapel talk and welcomes the students to the campus. He also indicated that our campus would be dominated by a rush of P. W. A. projects made possible by our generous government. Runner up for the most unusual shot is the picture of Tennis Coach Allen actually standing on a tennis court. As the picture indicates, he is very much at home as he re- counts one of the anecdotes from his noted collection. Formality withdrawn, the students cavort, and play good or bad tennis on excellent courts.

Cleated Shoes and Shin Guards . . . ii jniij» yMH turn students into fans Shippensburg- tightens defense and again Lock Haven is stopped by the foi ' ward wall of the Red Raiders. Deception, speed, and good blocking- put Spangler in the clear, and in scoring posi- tion. Touchdown next play. Defense battle wages on through the game. Lock Haven holds Red Raiders. Score board remains to as cheers fade into the dusk. This is last year ' s freshmen threat to the hockey title. This picture has us stumped, too. It must be an all star team containing members from all classes. How do you like the pep of this bunch? They are this year ' s freshmen who play the game with a will. Do you remember when Mid Crone and Mary Ida were sophomores? tf 1 9 1
