Wilfred Allard, While in Europe,

Witnesses Wartime Preparations

by Sally Young

(This is the second part of a story
of the summer European travels of
Wilfred Allard, who was in Italy
when the recent crisis arose and
broke.)

At Cannes, he saw, the famous
Battle of Flowers; in Nice, he at-
tended an outdoor performance of
“Prometheus Chained” in the Ro-
man Arena and witnessed the Fete
des Provinces Francaises.

His first journey to Italy was
@ pleasant one. Genoa, Pisa of the
famed Leaning Tower, Naples, Cap-
ri, Pompeii and Rome were high-
spots of his Italian visit. During
his three day’s stay in Rome, he
viewed an outdoor performance of
“Aida”, in the ruins of the Caracal-
la Baths, which was attended by
20,000 people, The Conte de Savoia,
Italian liner, was leaving Naples
during his visit; three days later,
as he returned to France, he again
saw the ship, which had been call-
ed back to Italian waters by Mus-
solini.

When the crisis came, Allard was
in Florence, Italy, where very little
about the crisis was known. The
American consul told all Americans
to leave as quickly as possible, since
no one knew when Italy might join
the Germans in the hostilities.
From Florence he proceeded to
Nice, to Grenoble and back to
Paris, where he was located when
the war was declared,

The wartime Paris was very calm
and quiet, Public notices to the
civilian population gave informa-
tion about procedure in case of
an air raid; all news was censored.
All skylights and headlights were
painted blue; all lights were a dim
blue; traffic signals were removed;

State Clubs Prepare
1939 Fall Program

Numerous clubs of the college are
now planning their social activities
for the coming year. Meetings and
revision committees have scheduled
such innovations as a complete
study of Italian folklore by the
Ttalian club and a trip to New York
city by the Classical club. Hikes
are featured by the other clubs, as
are discussions and constitutional
revisions.

The Italian club will conduct a
meeting on Tuesday evening at 8:00
o'clock in the Lounge of Richardson
hall, John Caramia, '40, president,
announces that the program will
feature Dr. Harold W. Thompson,
professor of English, as guest
speaker on the subject of Italian
folklore. Dr. Thomas G. Bergin,
professor of romance languages,
will also attend the meeting.

The Classical club has a prospec-
tive year in view as they initiate
this year with the hopes of making
@ trip to New York city in the near
future to see the classical exhibit
in the American Museum of Art,

anyone who assumes an intelligent
and cooperative attitude, but an ex-
perienced senior penetrated the haze
of theories of the value of the sys-

ing. He believed that it would re-
sult in dirtier politics than now
exist, An example well illustrated
his point. Rho Dammit Rho and
Kappa Kegga Beer, two sororities,
who find it to their advantage to
work together, discover, on publica-
tion of results for revotes, that each
has a candidate who carries an ex-
cellent chance of winning, if she
can receive backing from another
organization, Therefore, each will
switch their votes to the others’

“candidates, thus securng for each

not be possible.

Dr. Gogarty, Offstage, Explains
Treland’s Attitude Toward War

by Willlam Dorrance

Speaking in a rapid Irish brogue,
Dr, Oliver St, John Gogarty drop-
ped some of the gems for which he
is famous to a Nuws reporter in
a hurried back-stage interview,
Before stepping to the stage of
Page hall, he commented upon the
war, Irish Uterature, and the United
States,

To u question on Ireland's posi-
tion in the present world catas-
trophe, Gogarty stated, “Ireland
has now 42,000 soldiers In the Brit-
ish army, waiting to embark to the
front In France, Of course this
enlistment is unofficial,”

To the reporter's interruption,
hinting that Ireland is pro-British,
Gogarty replied, "No, I wouldn't
suy that at all. Troland is not
definitely pro-British, The Irish
are never definite about anything,
Right now the young-bloods say
they want to see the fun over in
France, It's the traditional Irish
love for a fight that is behind their
joining the British army,”

He recalled an old thirteenth cen-
tury Irish tune which sums up the
Trish personality and attitude
toward life,

‘Good at. man’s slaying,

Merry in the ale house,

Masters of the song,’

That Is the feeling of the Irish,”

At this point the doctor asked
the reporter not to place too much
emphasis on the war. ‘“Poiitics
and war," he explained, “are the
complete antithesis of wit and cul-
ture, I profer talking about lighter,
rivher things,”

In response to a question on the
greatest figure in the Irish ltor-
ary renalssance, Gogarty retorted,
“The greatest man in Irish liter-
ature? Not just Irish literature
but world literature, Why, William
Butler Yeats is the man, He's been
the leading figure in the last ten
years. His winning the Nobel prize
emphasizes this."

Gogarty called New York the
grandest olty in the world, "I
prefer New York to any city in the
world including Dublin. Why? The
town is @ poem, It is @ veritable
fairyland.” He maintained that the
noise did not disturb him a bit,
“Why, It soothes the temper, doesn't
arouse it.”

At this moment he was called
upon the stage to present his ady
dress, He left with the words, "

T see you some day in Dublin,”

Your Forum in Print

Theoretically and ideally, the State CoLLece
News should represent a cross-section picture of the
views and opinions of the student body; actually, it
does not. Rather, it reflects the beliefs of the News
board in their attempt to interpret and express
student opinion, At this time we wish to say that
we feel this system is entirely inadequate for the
accurate determination of current student thought,
and that the remedy lies with each individual mem-
ber of the association,

Elsewhere on this page is a column given over
to the publication of communications received from
various readers of the News. This department was
created to allow for the expression of attitudes and
opinions of the various members of the association.
It is through this column, then, that the interested
person can cooperate with the News in its task
of tapping the well of student thought. Write us
your opinion on any issue that interests you;
feel free to take advantage of this privilege to
see your own thoughts in print; make yourself
heard. Of course, all communications cannot be
printed, as that depends upon the nature of the
article and the space available.

Last week in assembly, Mr, Kelly urged every
student association member to stand on his feet
and express his opinion on any issue, whenever the
opportunity occurred, We do likewise for the Nrws.
Make use of this forum in print!

Cooperative Buying

“Reduce the cost of living and I'll move into
a group house,” For several years, expressions
such as these have been heard around the campus
and nothing has been done for the complainants.
We have a situation here which is rarely found in
other colleges. It is: each individual group house
purchasing its own needs from whatever source it
desires. Why not purchase the needs from a single
source, and save money by taking advantage of the
larger discount that would be offered to a coopera-
tive association?

The tentative plan would be as follows; the
sororities and fraternities (and other group houses)
would agree to buy from one distributor, for ex-
ample, a grocery distributor, Bach week the grou
would send to @ single source (the cooperative man-
ager) its order for the entire week, ‘The coopera-
tive manager would then bring together the type
of goods that each of the groups wishes to pur-
chase by giving the wholesale distributor a single
compact order, However, at the same time, will be
sent the various individual orders which will be fill-
ed by the distributors and sent to the various houses,

Discounts would be allowed on the bulk order,
The bulk bill would be sent to the cooperative man-
ager who, in turn, would collect the proportionate

complaining about the pun-ish-

The Critic a

Last Wednesday night State col-
lege had the honor of hearing the
greatest poet, statesman, doctor,
and wit now living in Trelana,
Oliver St. John Gogarty.

His speech was a scenic trip
through the literary history of Ire-
Jand. He expounded the modern
theory that the Irish literature in
all its descriptive beauty has exist-
ed in written form for over two
thousand years, and during that
period has had a number of re-
births or renaissances since the
coming of Christ,

Many of the noted leaders in the
Renaissance of the nineteenth cen-
tury were personal friends of Mr.
Gogarty — James Joyce, George
Moore, William Butler Yeats, Lady
Gregory Padric Colum, All these
people figured in the founding of
the Abbey Theater, except Joyce,
who, by the way, has been Mr. Go-
garty's enemy since Joyce publish-
ed Ulysses, You know it was in
this book that he immortalized Go-
garty by characterizing him as that
young, radical Jesuit, Buck Mulli-
gan,

Mr. Gogarty seems to idolize Wil-
liam Butler Yeats, as one of the men
most capable of representing the
true fecling of the sod people, on
the printed page. Yeats, he said,
was deeply affected by early Celtic
writings, He gave to the people
of Ireland an appreciation of the
“Heroic time." He built up a Gaelic
moral; he built up the imagination
of the Irish people.

Perhaps the most intimate friend
that Mr. Gogarty has is George
Moore, who lives just across the
garden, Yet, when asked to des-
cribe him, Mr. Gogarty said, “He
ig one of my dearest friends. He's
brilliant, He's a cad." Such a com-
plimentary statement is capable of
Gogarty, and Gogarty alone.

The Trish poet started us on a
trip around Ireland from “Tennis
Raquet Bay" (Bay of Ireland) to
Killarney, the Garden of Ireland.
But the vision he painted was so
brief that it merely serves to create
an Interest in his greatest work,
Around Ireland with St, Patrick,
This book has been applauded the
sensational force in the new Gaelic
revival.

If you want to know Gogarty,
the poet, read the Wild Apple Treo.
Mr, Gogarty gave a wonderful
speech for the intelligentsia of
the audience, but it was wholly un-
sulted to the college students. It
is a pity he could not be heard be-
yond the orchestra. Next time,
Mr, Gogarty, talk to all your au-
dience,

Queen Will Lead Pageantry

Once more speculation runs high
as the breath-taking moment when
this year's queen will be crowned
draws near,

Although Campus day originated
in 1921, the first queen held court in
1922 when it was provided that the
students should select the most pop-
ular girl of the senior class. Queens
have often been selected in the
Past not only for personal beauty
and charm but for popularity and

tivities as well. This is borne out
by the fact that all but two candi-
‘dates are members of Myskania,

Queen for a day!! One of these
five will continue the dynasty of
Campus queens. We're proud of
our candidates, and each is a dif-
ferent type of beauty with her own
sprinkling of personality, her own

jdash of color, and a big slice of

charm, The running ts going to
be close, and it all depends on
whether you like chocolate, vanilla,
or strawberry ice-cream, Of course
you understand that pulchritude is
only one of the several factors in-
volved in the selection.

Marriage Study Shows
Way to Marital Bliss

Special—in fact—extra spec
ial for men only! What makes
a good wife? How do you pick
your loving spouse?

br, Leonard Cottrell of Cor-
nell und Professor Ernest Bur-
yess of the University of Chicago
have answered many of your
marital questions in their study
of the married Ives of 526
couples, Their findings are con-
trury to many campus beliefs,

Here's u list of qualities every
marrying boy should conside:

1. There is uw marked relation-
ship between handling family
finances and married happiness.
Hence, a wife should be money-
minded, but not a spendthrift

2 All the “steadies" are in
luck, for courtships of three to
five yours ure most likely to
endure after marriage

4. Girls who haye worked be-
fore marriage male much bet-
tor udjustment after marriage,

4. Beware of girls with only
one living parent, for, if the
mother of either husband or

1 widow, the danger of
in-law trouble is more
probable

5, Family income seems to
have less influence than is prev-
alently thought. However, there
should be mutual agreement of
the budgeting of that money

And of special interest is that
school teachers are very fit for
marriage.

Athlete, Gardener, Psychologist

— Dr. Hicks

(This is the first in a series of
articles designed to acquaint the
student body with the faculty in a
more informal relation.)

by Herman Kleine

_Dr. J. Allen Hicks, professor of
guidance, comes to us from Iowa—
“and proud of it.”

His formal schooling consisted
of four years at Grinnell, with grad-
uate work at Columbia and the
University of Iowa, where he re-
ceived his doctorate. Following his
success in the field of child psy-
chology, Dr. Hicks was awarded a
research fellowship from the Rock-
efeller Foundation to the University
of Towa,

He served for five years as su-
perintendent of public schools in
Towa and was promoted to the po-
sition of executive secretary of the
National Committee on Child De-
velopment. At the same time, he
acted as psychologist at the Wash-
ington Child Research center and
facutly member at George Wash-
ington university. (What a man

total of 897, as compared to 970 pay-
ments last year at this time.

Once again a freshman class tops
all others in the number of stu-
dent tickets purchased, 235, — Its
record is the more kable in
that its membership has been cut
to 250 students, Juniors and spoh-
omores are tied for second place
with a purchase of 225 tickets cach
They are followed by the seniors
with 195 tax cards and the mis-

An innovation this year, requiring
the freshmen to pay four years’ dues
upon entering, has proved success-
ful. This regulation was instituted

L year by the student association.
To date, 229 freshmen have paid
their dues, The freshman treasury
now has $1,839,

‘Those persons of the student body
who have failed to purchase student
tax tickets are carnestly requested
to do so immediately, since payment
of student tax is required if one

Teachers Believe

With several wees; of
training under their belts, State's
cross-country runners will stack up
against the Delhi harriers tomor-
row afternoon over the Washington
park course. The meet, which will
start at 2:00 o'clock will be the
sixth meeting between these two

fared so well throughout the series,
having won two meets and lost

The award system, revised two
years ago, is again being considered
for alterations. Gripes this time
seem to be concentrated upon the
non-existent wearing qualities of
the seal-engraved skins now award-
ed. Tentative substitution is a key

al.) Considering ways and means
for revision are Louise Hessney,
Betty Clark, Madalyn Beers, Fran

Since fall season ends November

ter sports will consist of basketball,
bowling, swimming, skating, skiing,

be—badminton and modern dancing
(aha, competing with freshman
dancing classes!)

In spite of last year's abortive
attempt to arrange a three way
play-day, sport’s festival or what
have you between State, Skidmore
and Russell Sage, this year’s Coun-
cil is forging ahead with a do-or-die
spirit, trying to stage a similar
event sometime during the '39-'40
season, For some mysterious rea-
son these schools are loathe to play
around with State women—but keep
yer fingers crossed maybe every-
body will get together eventually.

unknown quality, the outcome of
tomorrow's race is doubtful. How-

ver, Corey, who finished first in
7 and ‘38, will not be running this
year, inasmuch as he graduated last
June.

The State squad during the past
two weeks has gone through two
sets of time trials. These trials

show conclusively that the boys
are running quite a bit better than
last year's squad. In the time trials
run off last Tuesday afternoon, Lou
Francello finished first, timed at
19:18, Frank Hansen followed him
with a time of 19:58, and Manley
crossed the line in third place in
20:29. In last year's fina) trial
run before the Delhi meet, the first
man finished in 19:34, which is
quite a bit slower than Francello's
time,

The season's prospects have been
brightened considerably by the show-

State’s Runners to Engage
Delhi Squad for Sixth Time

Well-balanced Aggregation to Represent Purple and Gold;
Delhi Loses Corey, Twice Victor Over State;

Course Favorable

Hansen will definitely be great as-
sets to the squad since they are
running close behind Francello,
With these three men all timing
within ten seconds of each other
there won't be much room for op-
position to sneak in and place be-
tween them. In simpler words, if
one of the three should place first,
the other two stand a good chance
of being among the first four fin-
ishers. Gene Agnello has made a
rapid recovery and ran the trial run
in good time. Gene strained the ten-
dons in both heels, but they have
mended and he will run tomorrow.
Manley has also recovered from his
cold and was timed in 20:29 for
the trial run. It will be a well-
balanced team which will carry the
purple and gold in tomorrow's meet.

Last year's meet, which turned
out disastrously for State, was run
off at Delhi. As manager Fran-
cello so aptly phrased it, “It seem-
ed to be all uphill. In fact, the hill
was so steep at the first, that sev-
eral runners ended up by walking.”
The course through Washington
park is much better since there is
only one real hill. The home stretch
is located on the road which leads
from State street into the park,
right across from the college.

Activities office where they carried
away Kusak in a manner rivaling
the abduction of Helen of Troy, An
hour later he returned in a pair
of lounging pajamas graciously
Joaned by the Psi Gammas. Gar-
dephe was captured passing the
girl's dorm and taken for a tour
downtown where he finally ended
up at the corner of State and Pear!
minus a freshly-pressed pair of
pants, Although he was appre-
hended by the law, his explanation
proved sufficient and he was allow-
ed to proceed homeward. There-
upon weird haircuts, war paint, and
kidnappings followed in rapid suc-
jon, Even the girls entered in-
to the spirit of the fracas with the
result that Dower, Wilson, Devins,
Ryerson, and Petit were uncere-
moniously admitted to the shower
or luke for impromptu duckings.
The war raged unabated until the
college president felt it incumbent
to step in and threaten the class
presidents with expulsion.

Talks with the freshmen reveal
that they are actually looking for-
ward to the forthcoming combats
with an amazing degree of confi-
dence, Thomas Feeney, frosh tead-
er, said Uhat the frosh were ready
to take everything in stric Paul
Merritt, soph president, said that
the sophomores are assuming a pol-
icy of “watehful waiting.” Van El-
lis and Robert Walter felt it would
bo indisereet for any sophomore to
be caught out alone at night. On
asserted that it would be unsafe
in the vicinity of Washington park.

With these bold statements be-
fore us we look once again to Min-
erva for a prediction of State's tra-
ditional Campus day activities.

KDR, Albanians
Top Footballers |
In League Play

Bruising CH-KDR Tilt Leads
Second Week of Play;
Kappa Beta Upset

The second week of play in the
intramural football league saw the
pre-season favorites step into their
places at the top of the heap. KOR
supplanted KB as leading team with!
two impresive wins while the strong
Albanians maintained their pace
by continuing as the only other un-
defeated team although having one
less game in the win column than
the leaders, KB, victim of an upset
at the hands of Robin hall on Mon-
day, toppled from its high position
into third place and may very likely
go lower.

The week's outstanding contests
up through Wednesday's games saw
KDR defeat College house, 19-0;
the Albanians down Avalon-Spen-
cer, 7-6; and KDR overcome the
frosh 24-0,

ly the feature game of the week
was the KDR-College house game
Wednesday. It was a bone-bruising,
rough, hard game in which KDR's
heavily favored team was bottled
up in their own territory for three
periods. On the other side, College
house, through Barney Tuttle's
great running and a blocked kick,
threatened several times, but could
not score. The break of the game
came in the middle of the last half
when KDR blocked a College house
kick and recovered in the end zone
for @ score, Then in the closing
minutes of the game, played in
semi-darkness, KDR struck sudden-
ly to score twice on Oksala's “sleep-
er,” and on a pass to Howie Ander-
son. The second tally came after
the recovery of a College house
fumble. The underdog College
house team put up a great fight,
and if their play Wednesday ts any
criterion, they have a real outfit
for the other teams to cope with.

Although playing without its main-
stay, the injured Al Bulmer, Ava-

Maloney’s
Baloney

JR, M. -

In the locker room the other day,
@ panting harrier limping in from
a strenuous reconnaissance of the
byways of Washington park was
heard to mutter:

“Sometimes I wonder: what's the
use?”

Though carefully censored, put in-
to grammatical (?) English, and
stripped of the pungent fumes of
linament which bathed its original
utterance, this gem nevertheless
portrays something which we'd like
lo expand upon.

Would you, dear reader, relish
a twenty minute trot through the
wilds of Washington park and the
back streets of Albany to be greet-
ed at the finish by a handful of
drooling neighborhood urchins?

We've elected to turn our har-
rier's random remark into an ar-
gument for added student interest
in cross-country. A run is by no
means a long, drawn-out affair—
and—it is nice to hear someone
cheering and see someone familiar
when you're hitting the stretch.

For the benefit of those whose
interest has already been whetted,
the aforementioned “stretch” will
be along Englewood place, leading
into Washington park from Robin
street.

Tomorrow's meet will be the test
for a triumvirate of freshmen re-
cruits. Two of these have high
school running experience behind
them,

Cooke, Albanian and CBA boy,
boasts both cross-country and track
work for the Academy, He cap-
tained the CBA harriers, Hansen
at Troy High lent support to a num-
ber of sports including track, soc-
cer, and jayvee football. Denike's
high school sport at Saugerties was
soccer,

Intramural council has requested
that we clarify some misconceptions
that have arisen since the begin-
ning of the touch-football season.

The first issue concerns the vital
distinction between a touchback and
a safety—a distinction over which
even some of the officials have been
at odds in recent games, When the
defensive team intercepts a pass in
its own end zone, a safety has not
been effected and no points should
be awarded. The official ruling
calls for a touchback with the ball
being brought out to the twenty
yard line,

Another point of dispute is the
matter of a three-man line for the
offensive team, Such a line is com-
pulsory under the rules,

Congrats to Intramural council
for its pald official system which
is working to perfection—an excel-
lent example of the “money talks”
adage, But—doesn’t it seem an aw-
ful odd way to insure the smooth
operation of a program that, after
all, is supposed to be based on pop-
ular interest?

State College Mourns Passing
Of Close Friend and Benefactor

by Sylvia Greenblatt

September 15, just passed, marked
both an opening and an ending.
The doors were opening for an-
other year at State college. They
closed at the same time upon the
life of a grand man—Captain Wil-
liam J. Walker—one of Albany's

_|leading characters, one of State's

most gracious benefactors.

Interesting— exciting — colorful —
all describe both the person and his
fe. From the start, Captain Walk-
er was singled out by his size. “The
biggest man in Albany’—as one
person described him, Yet, what
might have been a handicap be-
came a character of Captain Walk-
er's life, for he was the favorite
Santa Claus at various nurseries,
orphanages and at affairs of groups
and organizations, And Dorm resi-
dents of a few years back will rec-
ognize him, too, as the jovial St.
Nick at the Dorm Christmas party.

During the World War, in the
capacity of a YMCA secretary, he
made many friends among the
French people, friendships which
he maintained throughout the rest
of his life.

Politics did not escape his atten-
tion here, In 1937, he ran for

mayor on the Republican ticket but |

was defeated by the present Mayor
‘Thatcher,

State college students, however,
know Captain Walker best for the
interest he took in this institution,

State was the alma mater of his!

mother, His daughter, too, is fa-
miliar to many here.

Besides acting as Santa Claus at
Dorm parties, Captain Walker him-
self gave, until 1936, several large
parties in the garden of his resi-
dence, for seniors, graduates and
faculty. Dean Moreland recalled
a vivid picture of gay times at those
functions—with song and refresh-
ment for all.

The Captain gave help, too, in
cases where individual students were
concerned, Nor was State college
forgotten at the very last. He
left us in his will a cash sum of
$1,000, There was also left an ad-
ditional $50,000, but this amount
is subject to a number of condi-
tions,

Whatever the case, we of State
college owe a debt of gratitude to

that man—not only for the more|;

material aids he gave but also for
the memory of a vivid personality,
genuinely interested in our welfare.

La Maison Francaise
To Serve Ma’s Meals

“My mother told me to eat
at the restaurant in La Maison
Francaise!”

This exclamation whisked along
with the tantalizing smells which
poured forth from the Dove
street entrance to the new eating
place in the French house, M,
Millet, State graduate of '39,
opened the establishment to pro-
vide home cooking for all stu-
dents who like their food the
way ma cooks it,

The pleasant atmosphere
should entice all who try once
-—and who won't—to return
again, “Why won't anyone make
it his regular dining room?”,
Kennie Haser,
know,

But, men of State, don’t imag-
ine yourself sitting next to a
comely State lass, for the girls
of the French house eat by them-

selves, It's a business proposition,

News Reporter Meets Comedian

In Backstage

by Virginia Pothemus

“What do you think of teachers?”,
I asked, with the intention of fo
getting the answer if it weren't too
complimentary. Much to my sur-
prise, Edward Everett Horton an-
swered, “I think very highly of
them, Why, in fact, I even intend-
ed to be one.” And so he had, since
it developed that he had attended
the Teachers college of Columbia
university, and had specialized in
the combination of English, history
and German, One never knows,
does one?

Taking advantage of the fact that
I knew someone whom Horton knew
I gained admittance backstage
While his many friends trooped in
to congratulate him and extend
their best wishes, I had a chance
to watch Horton, He was halfway
through the process of removing the
greasepaint so essential to the stage
Dressed in a bathrobe, he was silting
at his mirror surrounded by all the
paraphernalia associated with ac-
tors.

While talking, Horton used the

day conversation, and he employed |
il constantly. Everything he said |
and did was emphasized by his fa-
cial expressions, which were cve
changing. It was entertainment it-
self just to watch him talk |

In response to the question con-!
cerning how he started in the the
ter, Horton said, “It just happened,
and my family objected to it." In
college he took such courses as de-
bating, dramatics, English and ora-
Lory Just because he was interested
in them. Now when he looks back, he
has decided that such subjects are
prerequisites for the average actor
He used to see plays quite often,
while still in school, and used to
imagine himself playing the same
parts, Thus was his interest arous-
ed.

“Desire to act and taking one's
lime in getting to the top,” are the
two most important factors Horton
advised future thespians to consid-
er, "When I was about nine, I
| wanted to be a baker,” he said. “I

lo be an actor, he must have a last-
ing desire and be willing to put in
a lot of time.” |

The dressing room Horton was|
using while at Harmanus Bleecker |
hall Monday and Tuesday for
“Springtime for Henry,” is the very |
|same one which he used when he!
| first played stock in Albany in 1916.

When asked what he thought of
the hills of Albany, Horton replied,
"I don't mind them a bit—in taxis.” |

@uven Jane I

While speculative buzzing con-
ning the identity of the queen

jerented an atmosphere of mystery

and excitement, a throng of sub-
Jects gathered in Page hall, then
the two pages, Kay Wilson and
Ethel Appleton, sophomores, step-
ped to the front of the stage. As
soon as the last notes of the bugles
had faded away, the solemn, sonor-
ous strains of Pomp and Circum-
stance floated over the hushed au-
dience, The marshal swung open
the doors, The atidience rose as
one man to greet the new queen,
Petite, dark-haired Jane Wilson,
radiating happiness, entered.
Queen Jane I, gowned in the
traditional white, and carrying a
bouquet of red roses led her at-
tending court of: Rita Sullivan and
Mary ‘Trainor, seniors, in yellow;
Miriam Newell and Lona Powell,
juniors. 1 pink; Ruth Keeler and
Mildred Swain, sophomores, in blue;
Ruth Dee and Mildred Mattice,

freshinen. in green, down the aisles |

of the auditorium, The attendants
remained on the steps of the stage,
ts the new queen, carrying herself
regully, crossed to the center, Then
(the velvet curtains parted, and last
year’s queen, Chris Ades, attended
by Bobby Arndt and Dottie Prit-
chard, seniors, came forward to re-
evive the new queen, As Jane kneel-
vd before her, Chris removed the
crown from her own pretty brown
head and placed it carefully, firmly

on Jane's.
