THE TOWER LIGHT We understand that the president of the school orchestra has been conducting a symphony along the railroad tracks. just an old, old story in a modern setting. And we know of the young man, who, when accused of philander- ing, thought that it meant some form of philanthropy. As we look about us we are prone to agree with him in no small measure. Can it be that those two masters, or rather mistresses of the terpsichorean art are unaware of the comments they bring forth each night in the Newell Hall Foyer? Our best wishes to Jimmy Tear, who, we hear, has been confined to the sofa in the Parlor for the past two weeks with a sprained ankle. We would like to use it ourselves sometime, Jimmy. 1:0 Glee Club 0 you like to sing? We do, too. That is why we are in the Glee Club. A song in our hearts and a song on our lips do wonders toward making us happier persons. Last Commencement day our hearts sank a bit, when our forty- eight trained Senior Glee Club members walked up to get the diplomas that were to take them from us. But though we miss them now, and shall never forget our past comradeship in troubles and triumphs, yet we are all inspired by our new organization. We have two old fourth year Seniors with us again, Frances Fanton and Mary Rogatchoif. Besides we have our four year Senior, Mr. Johnson, who has just joined the Glee Club ranks, and Mr. Mezick who has come to us as a fourth year senior from Salisbury. We have forty old Seniors, two new Juniors, eighteen old Juniors, and last, but not least, forty-nine new Freshmen, thirty- two girls and seventeen men. Our total enrollment is one hundred and thirteen. Counting out the student teachers, this means that our Assembly Glee Club group numbers between ninety and one hundred. We are strong in numbers, and in ability and willingness to work. Miss Weyforth is bristling with songs for the coming year, and everyone is certain of hard practice, but of happiness, too. Our oilicers are: EMILY Ross ........ ...... P resident DOROTHY LORENZ .... . . .Vice-President ELINOR WILSON ..... ..... S ecretary ABRAHAM BERLIN ..... .,....

THE TOWER LIGHT Revelations Ig 34-35 HERE was a time Qwhen we were freshmenj that we envied the editor of this column. But nevertheless we offer to you this month's Endings with the hope that the extra-curricular activities of the student body will be a little more obvious and a great deal less serious from this time on. , We can't help but wonder if a Mr. Kulacki would be flattered to know that it has taken three men to 1-ill his placeg namely, Frank Zeichner-orchestra, Myron Mezick--soccer, and Melvin Cole in the dormitories. We wonder. - Who can deny that Fost has not been faithful to the Eastern Shore? Surely, Edward is an honorable man. Do they live near each other, Ed? We wonder, too, if the dormitory advocates of the fourth year for the I. A. are growing or diminishing in nurnber? It has been brought to our attention that one girl, a freshman, lost Hve hats last year. We might suggest that that is much healthier than losing your head but once. If you would put to test the proverb, Absence makes the heart grow fonder keep an eye on Schwanebeck and Johnson, and if you be disillusioned, turn your attention to Benbow. And we offer as a model of clandestine love, R. and M. Who would have guessed it? Cheer up, Malcolm! We overheard a freshman exclaim of a boy who grew up in three years. We wanted to console Harper with this but the case seems too hopeless. Looks as though Ed Turner is out to put the Big-Brother System on its feet again. Those in charge of next year's registration might do well to observe his technique. We would be grateful if Wheeler would make up his mind. Or has he lost it? There are a few who cannot understand why Charlie Meigs omitted the Richmond Hall Parlor on the Map of Play Day. Or wouldn't he know? The fact that a salamander took leave of the science room might prove some mighty interesting things about . . . salamanders, of course. Assuming that there is a Baltimore Safety Council and assuming that it is competent-how, then, did it overlook Mr. Minnegan's car? What will the twelfth of October bring to Ed Brumbaugh--or better yet, whom will Ed bring the twelfth of October? 24

THE TOWER LIGHT The Orchestra o far this year the'Normal School Orchestra has devoted its energies to reorganization, since we were so unfortunate as to lose by gradu- ation nine members, several of whom held key positions. We should like to keep all of our good members indefinitely but that is not the way of schools. However, we are fortunate in that several dependable mem- bers are still with us to assist in the reorganization. So far our member- ship is as follows: FIRST V1oL1Ns SECOND V1oL1Ns Frank ZCiCh11CI', Helene Davis C0f'Ce7'f M4-stef Pauline Mueller M0315 Hoffman, Frances Waltmeyer Asst. Concert Master Hilda Walker Malcolm Davies Louise Wenk Martha Holland CELL0 DOUBLE BAss Herman Bainder Charles J- H0PW00d CLARINET SAXOPHONE Harold Goldstein Kreis, E Hat GRGAN John Klier, C Melody Eleanor Loos T CORNET R b if-IMPANI1 Eleanor Sterbak e ecca owar MELLOPHQNE PIANO Barbara Bartlett Charles Haslup Several freshmen students are trying out for cello and violins. The successful ones will be admitted to the Orchestra later on. As a part of the instrumental activities, a string ensemble has been formed of violins, cello, and bass. Two or three combinations of in- struments are possible in this group, sometimes all, sometimes only violins and with or without piano. This ensemble provides further opportunity for more advanced players. On Sunday, October 7, Frank Zeiclmer played the Bach-Gounod Ave Maria for the Y. W. C. A. candlelight service. , 0:0 japan Japan is a country far across the ocean. The people that live there are very different from us. Their skin is yellow. The rich people wear long silk kimonos. The poor peasants Wear clothes made from coarse cotton. They wear a bright sash called an obi. They wear wooden shoes which they always take off before they enter the house. They do not sit on chairs like we do, but sit on cushions. Instead of writing with 26
