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

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.

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 School No. 63 Baltimore, Md. September 14, 1934. Dear Miss Rutledge, Our class wants to thank you for your charming talk on England and for showing us all those lovely things. This morning a girl from our class brought in some more nice things from England. Among them were the British flag and some old, old, English money, some dating back to 1701. Another child brought. in a couple of plates made in England. One is over a century old. One little girl found out how much your theatre ticket and program cost. It was 51.82 in our money. We hope to learn more things too. I'm sure we all hope to see you again real soon and have you talk on that very interesting country, England. Sincerely yours, BLOOMA KANTER, 6B1. Miss Herman's Class. Q 5.4 Laughs Do you know how to tell a professor from a student? Oh, all right, have it your own way and tell it. Ask him what 'it' is, and if he says it's a pronoun, he's a professor. 55 Fi' 31' il' She- I don't think that English course did you any good. You still end every sentence with a preposition. Schoolmaster- This makes the Hfth time that I have had to punish you this week. What have you to say for yourself. Pupil-'Tm glad it's Friday. -Exchange. I :P 35' Fi' if' I recently got twenty dollars for a collection of poems. Yeah, from whom? The Express Company-they lost them. 3? 35 if' 3' Priscilla, what does B. C.-A. D. mean? Be careful-after dark. 91' Si' Q 9? It isn't sanitary, protested the traveler, to have the house built over the pig-sty like that. Well, I dunno, replied the farmer, we ain't lost a pig in ifteen years. -Automobilist. Pi' il' 31' 'i' What model is your car? That's no model, it's just a horrible example. 28
