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.

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

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 a pen they write with a brush. Some of the people still use jinrikishas for traveling. Lols SHOENHEIDER, Grade Three. Hamilton School. Welcome IME marches on! After a delightful summer vacation came Sep- tember and the beginning of another year at Normal. Accompany- . ing this new year came new hopes, new ideals and new enthusiasm in the mind of each student at the Maryland State Normal School. The returning Seniors and Juniors quickly found their places as they had left them in June but to the Freshmen this new situation was more difficult to meet. It is to these that we wish to say Welcome, We desire above everything else that you, Freshmen, feel your places of importance with us. May you begin, at once, to take an active part in all the school activities and may your list of friends be increased through association with new acquaintances here. We are all members of the Student Body working together as one unit. The year is ahead of us. May our growth continue and our hopes be realized! RUTH Kurs. The Campus School Banner HEN the Campus School was built, the children wanted a design for a shield to stand for the Campus School. Before the designs were made, the school chose maroon and gold for the school colors. It seemed to everyone that the colors should be used in the shield. Each child in the fourth, Hfth, sixth, and seventh grades was given a chance to design a shield. After a Week or two the best shields from each grade were given to the committee. The shields were displayed on the bulletin board for everyone to see. After awhile the Student Council selected the best designs. The Seventh Grade worked the five designs over in the school colors on large sheets of white paper. Then the children voted for the design that they thought best represented our school. I was very proud and happy when I learned that my banner had been chosen. My banner has a maroon background with a gold torch on each side. On the upper left side is a globe, and on the lower right is a book. I did not make my design because I liked to draw, but because so many people liked it that it made me think of putting it into the COIIIICSII. The world stands for the places we study about. The red stands for sunlight that makes boys and girls healthy. The torches guide and lead us. The book stands for our heroes. BILLY BENSON, Grade VI. 27
