BEE GEE NEWS
DOES IT PAY TO BE A STUDENT?
(Editor's Note: We one day came
across a discontented A student. He
seemed to think he had been missing
something and laid it to the fact that
he had been applying himself very
closely in getting his A's. We asked
him to jot down his convictions. We
then called on another A student to
present the other side of the case—a
student who feels that a person with
A capacity should do A work. The
Bee Gee News will be pleased to receive
contributions not to exceed 200 words
on either side of the issue, to print in
our next number.)
In stating that it doesn't pay to be
an A student, as I presently expect to
do, I do not mean to deprecate scholarship, nor to suggest to lazy minds that
they become still more lazy. I do not
even pretend to speak for all A students,
but rather to state my own convictions
dogmatically.
Life isn't grim unless we make it so.
The fellow who enjoys his life is the
one who makes a game of it—who judiciously mixes work and play. The
one who sacrifices too much for gain
has little to be proud of in the end but
his effort. Even then the time often
comes when he wished he had had sense
enough to live. True enough, he may
have learned to grind efficiently, but in
so doing he forgot that he is a social
creature. So it is with the A student
in most cases. For very few are gifted
with the natural ability to get A's without grinding for them. In denying ourselves social opportunities in order to
grind for A, we do ourselves great injury.
The greatest drawbacks in getting
A's by means of hard work is that it
confuses means and ends. An A student is an egotist; he is suffering from
a superiority complex. All A's give
an individual the self-rightesous and
selfish feeling that not everyone can
duplicate the deed. But why should a
person have even a mild feeling of superiority just because he has a superior
standing? The chances are that as an
all-around asset to society, the person
who keeps to the middle of the road,
neither grinds nor loafs, is far ahead.
The student who said to the instructor
when the latter asked him what grade
he thought he deserved for the course,
"I don't care v hat ^rade you give me,
I got the stuff out of the course," that
student had the right attitude. An A
-tudent must pack his mind with all
kinds of details, many of them of little
permanent worth, on the off chance that
a test or quiz may demand them. Many
of these details and isolated facts are
forgotten as soon as the danger of a
quiz is over. Why not use the time
wasted in "packing" in becoming a sotial creature, which he can't afford time
to be if he wants all A's.
With the ever-present fear of losing
his beloved A to drive him on, the A
victim holds his book so close to his
eye that he fails to see beyond it. From
behind his books as from behind a barrier he peeps cautiously forth once in
a while as if afraid anything else but
'-hat wh'ch produces A's is an enemy in
disguise.
Let him throw down his barrier and
he will soon realize that he has been
exe'uding friends and helpful influences
rather than enemies. To his surprise,
he will discover the meaning of true
friendship, of a mind relieved of fear,
of a calm judgment, of wider human I
interests. It doesn't pay to be an A student.
o
A's—WHY?
Readers will permit the use of ,:I" in
this short article because the writer believes the short summary herein given
could be applied to each student.
Why should I desire to be an all-A
student ?
In the first place, an A given by a
college professor should mean that you
have been weighed in the balance of
your surrounding atmosphere and have
been found to be on the heavier end of
BEE GEE NEWS
Williams Hall
the mental beam. Ofttimes we hear the
statement, "I can't understand why I did
not get a better grade," and then a discussion of the instructor. I believe a
discussion or a debate with oneself will
justify the position of the instructor.
Past experiences have shown that producing the goods will result in an A
regardless of our feeling that the Prof,
is down on us.
The second reason for wanting to be
an A student is the better equipment for
taking part in outside activities. The
satisfaction which one gains in an outside activity is measured by the individual's own state of mind. It is not
as an A student. I don't mean by this
reasonable to think that a student carrying around in his pocket a card bearing
C's, D's and F's could participate in
college activities with the same spirit
as an A student. I don't mean by this
that an A student needs to ban all activities. In my estimation an A student
doing nothing for the college but all for
self, is a detriment to the institution.
Fully equipped with A's is my idea of
being all set to participate in all college
activities.
I'm not brilliant. I'm not exceptionally bright. Occasionally something
soaks into my thick skull. The third
reason I desire to become an A student
is that an A to me means certain gratifying spirits are aroused within me
which tell me that I have at least accomplished something. After all, a student old enough to go to college should
be old enough to have the sense of responsibility of a college life. We all
ask ourselves this question time after
time: "Why am I here?" Answer it
for yourself. I'm here for all that I
can get from the institution and also
all that I can give. My motto is work
without worry, but keep my scholastic
standing above the B line.

WE THANK THEE, LORD
As we come to another Thanksgiving
the thoughts of us, the students, turn
from our impatience in acquiring more,
to Thee, our Father, in loving appreciation. How much Thou hast done for
us, and how abundantly Thou hast allowed us to live! Thou hast given us
a year of peace, of plenty, of hope. Thy
grace hath gone with us even in our
sinfulness and ignorance. Thou hast
given us a means of an education. Thou
hast blessed us with an education. Thou
has blessed us with friendships that shall
not falter through the years. Thou hast
surrounded us with influences which are
consciously working for good and light.
Thou hast endowed us with reason and
intelligence that we may, if we choose,
be as a light unto others. In some of us
hast quickened the soul into a consuming,
living fire, which shall kindle in a later
generation faith and love and truth. Thou
hast taught us patience, sympathy and
kindness by thy incomparable example.
Thou hast continued to help us work
out our own destinies. For these things
we do thank Thee, Lord.
AN APOLOGY
The editor wishes to apologize for an
article in the former issue, which put
Bill Ogden and Max Leitman in a
bad light. The boys had done a thing
which the writer considered unethical,
but for which they squared matters with
Dr. Williams. This article was stricken
from the galley proofs by the editor
since'the incident was considered closed.
The printer in filling space found that
he needed just a short item to fill a
column and used the article which the
editor had deleted. So the mistaken
good-heartedness of the printer led to
an error that we wish to set right.
o
WHY BOOKS, ANYWAY?
It is much easier to say: "I know
nothing about books, but I know what
I like," than to learn to judge books.
It is easier to say why one Jikes a book
than why one dislikes it. Still, it is
more important to dislike a hundred
books, and know why, than to like one
book and not know why.
Books afford the biggest existing
means of enlarging the individual's range
of experience. Books reflect the mind
and life of the race as a whole as nothing else can hope to do. It is only
through books that man can communicate with man. So a life without books
is a life limited to a narrow range of
experience and thought.
Emerson said in his lecture, "The
American Scholar," that books were
among the worst of things when abused.
Instead of ;"man thinking," we have
the book-worm. Therefore, to become
"mar. thinking" we must have creative
reading as well as creative writing.
The ability of America to steer her
course safely through all foreign and
domestic troubles of the future will depend upon the development of national
intelligence; and the national intelligence
can be properly developed only by the
wisest widespread use of the best possible books plus—"man thinking."

THE OHIO-MICHIGAN GAME
THE INTERNATIONAL DEBATE
The Ohio-Michigan game is history.
Our readers are acquainted with details
long before this issue conies out. They
already know the heroes of the game—
Oosterbaan, Friedman and Molenda for
Michigan; Karow, Clark, Hess and Kruskamp for State. They probably know
that Michigan won chiefly because the
ball took a freakish bound after a punt
in the third quarter. They've probably
guessed how thrilling it was to hear
each college sing reverently its college
song and shout defiantly its battle cries
Probably many listened in on the radio
and got the game as reported by an
expert reporter—so that this information was even more accurate than that
of an untrained observer.
The thought that struck the writer,
however—and this thought still persists
—was how like unto the balmy days of
Rome it all was. First of all, the old
statement, "All roads lead to Rome,"
struck us as we journeyed down to Columbus. Roll back the centuries and
instead of autos going to Columbus from
all directions, are the chariots going to
Rome. Instead of togas, see modern
raiment. Instead of the stadium with
its 80,000 spectators, see the Circus
Maximus. Instead of maize and blue
warriors opposed to red and gray, see
the gladiators grimly determined to win,
but prepared to lose. The tense moment
when honor and reputation are at stake
has changed but little with the lapse of
centuries. Even think of the flashingeyed Roman maid watching with bated
breath the fate of her hero, hear the
applause of the populace, see the streaming banners. It's counterpart is with
us on as magnificent a scale as in those
days.
Many refinements have come with the
passing of time such as good sportsmanship, team work, praise for the losers,
etc. But when you stop to think of
it in its essentials, how like a Roman
holiday it was—a very refined Roman
holiday!
Before a large and appreciative audience the question, "Has the policy of
education the masses done more harm
than good," was debated Tuesday evening, Nov. 16. The affirmative team, representing the University of Sydney, Australia, were Mr. Sydney Heathwood,
sales promotion manager of the Weston
Company, Ltd.; Mr. John R. Godsall, a
doctor of medicine, and Mr. Noel McIntosh, a barrister of high standing. The
representatives of Bowling Green were
Rev. Geo. Wilson, of the class of '25;
Mr. Ralph Siballer of the class of '22;
and Mr. Richard Longstaff, former student and a graduate of the University
of Chicago.
The visiting affirmative team were
likeable, friendly and humorous. But
from the time Mr. Wilson started until
the time Mr. Longstaff finished his able
rebuttal; There was no doubt in anyone's
mind that the visitors would lose.
Though the visitors displayed humor,
glibness and ease of expression, they
were no match for the oratory of Wilson,
the straightforwardness of Schaller, and
the irrefutable logic of Langstaff.
The judges were Judge Fries and
Judge Baldwin of Bowling Green, and
Robert Dunn, trust officer of the Ohio
Savings and Trust company, Toledo. The
judges' decision was 2 to 1 in favor of
B. G. A picked jury gave B. G. the
decision by a 11 to 1 vote. The popular
decision was overwhelmnigly in favor
of B. G.
Much credit must be given Prof. Carmichael for arranging the debate and
in arranging a most enjoyable program
for the evening. To him also great
credit is due for coaching the winning
team. He seems to have a faculty for
turning out winning teams.

Patrick Henry: I care not what course
others may take, but give me liberty or

problems in which women are particularly interested, and explained what the
Y. W. C. A. here might do to help in
solving these problems. We enjoyed having Miss Mayher with us very much,
and wish to express our thanks to Dr.
Kohl for securing her services.
The special numbers, including a piano
solo by Gertrude Braun and readings by
Catharine Auxter and Dorothy Bowles,
have added greatly to the interest and
enjoyment of the program.
Other interesting meetings and attractive social affairs are being planned
for the near future.
EMERSON LITERARY SOCIETY
Five Brothers
Y. W. C. A.
Among the recent meetings of Y. W.
C. A., one of the most helpful and interesting was a talk by Miss Rena Ladd,
assistant pastor of the local M. E. church
and pastor of the Wesley Foundation
here, on "Y. W. C. A. in the University
of Southern California." Miss Ladd told
in a very delightful way of some of the
social activities of her school and also
of some of the more specifically religious
things. Some of these ideas we have
already used and we expect to make us 3
of others during the year.
Another interesting meeting was that
of October 21. This meeting was led
by Mildred Hefflefinger, who was assisted by Helen Brown, Shirley Overmeyer
and Ruth Barnhart. These girls gave
us some very enjoyable "Glimpses of
China." The meeting proper was followed by a sing, during which we learned
several new rounds and other songs with
the help of Miss Shaw.
On November 4, the Y. W. C. A. was
very fortunate in having as their speaker
Miss Amy Maher of Toledo, who is connected with the Y. W. C. A. and the
League of Women Voters of that city.
Miss Mayher's subject was, "The Y. W.
C. A. in Civic Work," and under this
On October 20, the Emersonians cnce
again assembled. The meeting was
called to order by Chester Cornell. The
most important part of the meeting was
the election of officers. The results were
as follows:
President, Charlotte Gaeth; vice president, Lillian Benson; secretary, Lucy
Veler; treasurer, Grace Tressel. Our
new president, Miss Gaeth, then took
charge of the meeting.
A very interesting program was given
consisting of "The Origin of Hallowe'en"
by Marie Dock, an appropriate reading
by Caroline Zindler, and a poem by
Ellura Cook. This was followed by parliamentary drill. At eight o'clock the
meeting was adjourned.
After a big rally in the Auditorium,
the members of the Emerson Literary
society strolled down the hall to room
315. Gradually most of the Emersonians
arrived. The meeting was called to order by the president, Charlotte Gaeth.
The first business to be taken up was
the election of new members; then a
committee was appointed to make plans
for Home-Coming, with Lurlene Beatty
as chairman.
The program was entitled, "A Night
with Hawthorne." Miss Grace Schinner
gave an unusually interesting account of
"Hawthorne, the Man." Mr. Ralph Engle
gave a talk on the "Psychology of the
BEE GEE NEWS
Great Stone Face." Due to the fact
that the meeting began late, parliamentary drill was omitted. Everybody be
on time next time, so we will not lose
the treat which Professor Schwarz always has in store.
o
TOLEDO CLUB
On Monday evening, November 1, the
usual meeting of the Toledo club was
held in Shatzel Hall. Miss Ruth Neumeister presided. After the business
was taken care of, a short playlet was
given. The representation was three
scenes from "Romeo and Juliet." During this entertainment the audience was
served with apples, which added much
to the social hour. Games were then
enjoyed, after which all adjourned. All
the Toledoans are looking forward to
some more good times in the near future.
HOME ECONOMIC CLUB
November meeting of the Home Economic club was held Nov. 3 in room 217.
This was the first regular meeting of
the year. A very interesting program
was enjoyed.
"The Meaning of Our Pin"—Mary

Reading—Frances Blackburn.
Thanksgiving Dinner in a Colonial

Thanksgiving Dinner in a Modern
Home—Hazel Bodley.
After the program, refreshments were
served; Loretta Blackburn, Mabel Heidt,
Mary Breese and Agnes Simpson acting
as hostesses.
o
HOME ECONOMIC RECEPTION
On Saturday morning, Nov. 6, the
Home Economic club held a reception,
for all former members of the club, in
the Home Economic rooms. The rooms
were beautifully decorated with fall
flowers and ferns.
This reception gave a great many of
the former students a chance to be together, to talk of "old times and live
their college days over again."
Refreshments were served to the
guests. Margaret Bartlett, Kathryn

hostesses.

It happened in Columbus after the

someone of the six persons in Chet Fast's
room set Mr. Ronk's watch ahead an
hour. The next morning no one confessed. While eating breakfast in a restaurant the party were still discussing
the matter. An inquisitive waitress
wanted to know about it. Someone told
her, and explained that the guilty one
couldn't be detected. She said, "Oh, that
fellow did it. He looks like that kind
of a guy." As she said this she pointed
at Bob Wyandt. The editor has always
said that a person's deeds stamp his

stranger can read the story of his misdeeds in his face, that friend Bob will
soon start to reform.

HISTORY OF THE SEVEN SISTERS
FRATERNITY
In the fall of 1922 a group of girls,
namely: Emily Benson, Frances Meagley Fox, Irene Ruhlman, Frances Beurstom, Eulalie Hoffman, Evelyn Scherff,
and Helen Hobert, organized a sorority
known as the "Seven Sisters." After
continuing this organization for two
years, the seven members graduated in
1924, and left no one to continue their
work.
This fall a group of girls consisting
of Lillian Benson, Marie Dock, Charlotte Gaeth, Grace Tressel, Nettie Crass,
Edith Sheahan, and Harriet Retzloff were duly authorized by the former members to re-establish the "Seven
Sisters" in the college.
This organization holds its regular
meetings every two weeks, which are
carried on in a strictly parliamentary
manner. Every fifth meeting is given
over to a social gathering.
The purposes of the "Seven Sisters"
are: encouragement of good scholarship;
fostering college spirit, ideals, and tradition; participation in college activities; encouragement of social functions
among its members.
These girls have chosen Miss Neilson
for their faculty member.
In the midst of all the joy and merri-
ment of Home-Coming the Seven Sisters
Fraternity welcomed back its alumni
members by means of a dinner party
held at the Women's building, Saturday,
November 6, at 6:30. Those present
were: Miss Nielson, Helen Hobert, Sandusky, Ohio; Eulalie Hoffman, Toledo,
Ohio; Irene Ruhlman, Sandusky, Ohio;
Evelyn Sherff, Sandusky, Ohio; Lillian
Benson, Marie Dock, Charlotte Gaeth,
Grace Tressel, Nettie Crass, Edith Sheahan, and Harriet Retzloff.
The table was daintily decorated in
the sorority colors, burnt orange and
navy blue. Following the dinner was a
jolly get-tobether meeting of all the
old and new members.
o
COUNTRY LIFE CLUB
The Country Life club held its second
meeting under the direction of the newlyelected officers. Dale McDaniel, the
president of the organization, held his
position very efficiently while presiding.
Marjorie Chapman secured a very good
program which consisted of a talk on
"College Spirit," by Paul Woodring; a
musical reading, by Anna Haynes; and
reading selections by Caroline Zindler.
Following the program a committee for
Home-Coming was appointed, namely:
Arlene Stannard, chairman; Charlotte
Gaeth, and Eugene Rider.
The meeting was adjourned, after
which all went to the gymnasium to enjoy themselves dancing and playin(g
games. Come, all ye who are experts
in the "Virginia Reel," it's great fun!

QUILL TYPE CLUB
The Quill Type organiaztion held a
meeting November 10, 1926, in the Science building. The meeting came to
order and the roll call was taken. The
minutes of the last meeting were read
and the reports of the different commilttes were made.
Under new business we considered
whether or not we should change our
meeting night. It now conflicts with the
evening on which Country Life is held,
and that makes it impossible for members to enjoy both organizations. However, this question will be decided definitely at a later date.
A report was then given on the money
received from the banquet held at the
M. E. church last Saturday evening. Following the business, the following program was given:
Reading—Dorothy Recker.
Secrets of Sun—Juanita Hale.
Talk on Bees—Walter Schmunk.
Talk on a Trip—Jeanette Burkett.
These four people were then accepted
as members, having appeared on the program, a requirement of all prospective
members.
The meeting was then adjourned.
Home-Coming was a great success for
all the commercial students and the
alumni that were back for the occasion.
The entertainment Saturday morning
and the banquet Saturday evening were
both a great success. We hope the
alumni enjoyed themselves as much as
we did. Everyone was glad to see Miss
Fitzgerald back, and we all hope to see
her again, soon.

LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS
' ORGANIZED
On the evening of November 4, Miss
Amy Maher of Toledo gave an interesting talk to a group of college girls on
the purposes and work of the League of
Women* Voters. A committee on Constitution and By-Laws had been appointed previously, and after the address of
the evening this committee reported.

The Constitution was adopted and the
following officers elected:
President—Lucy Veler.
First Vice Pres.—Olive Bowersox.
Second Vice Pres.—Mae Leontine Morrison.
Recording Secretary—Etta Ward.
Corresponding Secretary—Grace Tressel.
Treasurer—Rozella Loesch.
The College League will attempt to
make some solid study of civic problems
from purely practical standpoints. This
organization is to be highly commended
as it aims, not at show or fun, but quiet
study of vital questions of social and
civic life.
FACULTY MEMBERS HONORED
Mrs. Sharp, Mr. Schwarz, and Dr.
Kohl have just been elected members
of Pi Gamma Mu, the National Social
Science honor society. This is a comparatively young society and has chapters in some twenty-odd colleges and
universities in the United States. The
fundamental purposes of Pi Gamma Mu
is to reward and encourage the undergraduate study of social science and to
awaken interest on the part of young
educated men and women in the scientific attitude toward social problems.
This is to be accomplished by making
election to the society a high honor, by
offering prizes for research, surveys and
original thought, and by publication of
a national journal. The society now
publishes the journal, "Social Science.
Mrs. Sharp was an honor student in
social science at Syracuse University in
her undergraduate days and Mr. Schwarz
and Dr. Kohl are in charge of the social
science work in the college.

Bowling Green team went down to Columbus to settle things with Capitol U.
The game was played on a rough, muddy
field and the boys found it rough going
because Capitol had a good team. Bowling Green probably would have given a
better account of herself, had it not been
for the lack of a certain element on the
side lines, which has often won a hardfought football game, namely, the support of the student body which always
helps to put pep and fight into our

HOME-COMING GAME
Outkicking. outplunging and outplaying their opponents in every phase of
the game, the football warriors of Bee
Gee humbled that arch enemy, Defiance,
by a score of 30 to 7, in the annual homecoming game, Saturday, Nov. 6. Playing before a record crowd, the team
showed results of hard training and superb generalship. Consecutive failure
to kick goals prevented the score from
mounting higher.
Repeated gains were made through the
line by Capt. Olds and wide end runs
negotiated by Leitman, left half, resulted in long gains. Even in the face of a
strong wind, Leitman often times placed
his punts beyond the reach of the Defiance safety.
The line seemed materially strengthened by the addition of Warner, who did
more than his share in breaking up the
offense of Defiance.
Bowling Green's goal was never in any
real danger; the touchdown of Defiance
being due to a recovered fumble.

WOES OF A COLLEGE STUDENT
College life is full of pleasures,
And sometimes it has its woes;
Every student has his troubles—
Just as every senior knows.
There are days chuck full o' sunshine,
When the world is good to see;
An' dark days when everything
Seems chuck full o' deviltry.
There are times a fellow feels
Like he could strut the halls
an' smile,
And then, times when all the classes
do aggravate and rile.
Oh, a college kid has worries, and
and sometimes they wear him
thin,
But he gets his compensation when
the grades are handed in.
Yes, his days are sometimes heavy
with their dates and fights and
frets,
But he surely is deserving of everything he gets.
There are times when little study
makes the grade downard descend.
Or he's filled with desperation
'Cause his name was at the end.
Then he knew his lesson well
And he didn't need recite
Every day a week before—the Prof.
had ordered "Write"!
Yes, he has his tribulations and he
has to work like sin,
But—he gets his compensation when
the grades are handed in.
Then's the time he's feeling happy,
With a heart full o' content.
Then's the time that he's forgetting
all the weary days he spent.
When he gets a letter sometime
and in it stored away
A lovely check from some one, to
spend it as he may.
When he has his cash in hand and
he feels his work is not a pain,
Then he knows his days of study
have been far from spent in vain.
Then's the time he feels like strutting, with his face wreathed
in a grin,
For his woes are all forgotten, when
his cash has just come in.
—Original Poem.

THE SUM OF LIFE
Nothing to do but work,
Not a class to shirk,
Without being called for the trip.
Always some campus gossip,
Sometimes a lecture or two,
A call "on the carpet" now and then.
To tell us what we can do.
Always a game to win,
Sometimes a new chapel song,
Always some signs on the board
To tell us what's going on.
Sometimes a program or play,
Always a home-coming week,
Never an empty bench in the hall
When for a place we seek.
Every six weeks a test,
Every six weeks a grade;
To tell us in stern, grave language
What kind of records we've made.
Always some theme to write,
That is the way life goes;
Nothing at all but lotsa nerve,
Can ever withstand these woes.
C. Auxter.

COLLEGE-SICK
It was the last period in the day, on
a dreary Friday afternoon. The study
hall in
high school seemed a seething mass of whispers, laughs, moving
bodies and shuffling feet. The students
were waiting impatiently for school to
be over for two days. The teacher in
charge was a small woman hardly more
than a girl, with curly hair and a laughing mouth. Today, however, she was
not laughing. Her eyes roamed over
the study hall and now and then her
voice rang out in an unnecessarily sharp
reprimand. Charlene Gaynor had a bad
case of blues and discontent. It had been
BEE GEE NEWS
a trying week and today had been especially so. The hand of the clock moved
slowly toward the hour and finally school
was finished for the week.
School out, the tired little teacher
walked slowly home. Oh, for those faroff college days, when responsibilities
had rested so lightly. That was it, she
decided—she was homesick, or rather
college sick. She wanted to be back at
B. G.
Walking into her room she found an
unopened letter on her desk, postmarked
B. G. Upon opening it she found it was
from Louise Ramsey, practically the only
person left at Bowling Green whom she
knew from three years before. Louise
wanted her to come back for the annual
home-coming. Oh, if she had only gotten it sooner—it must have been mislaid
somewhere.
Remembering that she could get a
train for B. G. at five o'clock, she hurriedly decided to go. On the way down
she speculated on the changes. All the
old crowd would be gone and it wouldn't
seem the same without Bob. Those had
been wonderful days and now Bob had
even stopped writing to her. Three hours
later, when she stepped off the train
in B. G., she was suffused with excitement, she felt better than she had in
weeks. But the old crowd would be
gone and Bob wouldn't be there. But of
course, he didn't care, he had even stopped writing.
Louise was nowhere in sight, so she
started down the street. After she had
gone about a block, a huge sign of welcome met her eyes.
Other signs and posters met her eye.
Evidently the whole school was out to
make this a gala occasion.
As Charlene came in sight of the dormitories, Louise came flying down the
walk to meet her. "My dear," she panted
as she gave her a huge hug, "I was so
busy, I simply couldn't get down." Inside the dormitory there was a great
hubbub. Everyone was seeing everyone
else. Almost all the old crowd was back.
Charlene saw so many old friends and
19
heard what so many people were doing
that her head was in a whirl. Finally
Louise dragged her off upstairs to dress
for the play that the drama class was
putting on. "I have a surprise for you,
dear," Louise told her as they came down
the stairs. They walked into the reception room and there was Bob smiling
and more handsome than ever.
The play over and their dates gone,
the two girls settled on Louise's bed for
an old-time chat. But solitude was impossible and it was long past midnight
before the dormitories were quiet and
their inmates asleep.
The next day was the big football
game. The parade and spirit made it
a wonderfully memorable occasion. Bob
took Charlene to the game and dance,
and she felt that she had never had a
better time. As she walked across the
campus with Bob at her side, it seemed
just like old times.
On Sunday morning Bob took her to
church and they heard the same old minister read the Holy Word.
When Bob took Charlene to the train
that afternoon he leaned over and whispered in her ear, "I'm going to see you
next week-end and that will be a real
home-coming for me." Charlene looked
up at him and smiled, "It couldn't be
as wonderful as this one has been, dear.
I think the person who invented homecoming was almost the most understanding person that ever lived."

OUR COLLEGE MUSEUM
Sunday afternoon, November 7, 700
persons came to the Science building of
the Normal college to see the natural
history collections. They were delighted
with the beautiful and interesting objects displayed and surprised to find
such a large number of them. On this
occasion the desks and tables in classrooms were used to display specimens
which had been long stored away in
dark eases. In one room the cases were
left open so that the visitors could see
the objects on the shelves, without having to look through the glass. In several
rooms students told the visitors about
some of the things on exhibition and
found that they preferred being told to
having to find out by reading labels.
Some of the most wonderful things in
the collection, such as the meteorites, because they are small and dull, received
scant attention. The labels with them
were not conspicuous and no one called
attention to them.
Such an occasion serves the purpose
of antertaining and instructing those
who take advantage of it and also making the students realize that the ScienceN
building contains much that is worth
going to see. Even on such an occasion,
when the building is not being used by
classes, there is insufficient room to display all of the scientific material. On
each of the 21 desks in the typewriter
room were specimens of several kinds
of wild grasses—more than a hundred
altogether—each mounted on a sheet of
white paper and accompanied by a label
giving the name of the species and the
locality and date of collection. These
were only about tw*o-thirds of the
grasses in the herbarium. The grass
family, sedge family and Compositae in
the herbarium comprise about 500
species. There are 97 species of the
Leguminosae, 70 of the mint family,
and nearly two thousand species belonging to families not yet mentioned. A
BEE GEE NEWS
large part of these plants have been
collected in northern Ohio and our college probably has the best collection of
these plants in existence, unless it is
surpassed by the collection at Oberlin
college.
Nearly all classes of the animal kingdom are fairly well represented in our
museum. Of the birds alone there are
about 350 species and of insects and
molluscan shells together some 1500
species. There is a fair collection of the
mammals and reptiles of the eastern
United States, of sea urchins, star fishes,
corals and Crustacea. Of fishes preserved in formaldehyde the museum
contains about two hundred species, including many remarkable forms from
salt water.
On any week day, students and visitors
can inspect specimens in the glass cases
under the skylight in the upper hall,
also in rooms 308 and 310, and at hours
when they are not occupied by classes,
in several other rooms of the Science
building.
FROM THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT
A party was given Nov. 11, by the
old music students and professors for
the new students and faculty. The affair
was held in the music studio. The entertainment consisted of music and
games, after which refreshments were
served. The evening was declared a
most pleasant one.
On Monday, Wednesday and Thursday
of each week, at 4 o'clock, piano classes
for public school pupils above the fourth
grade, are held in the music class room.
It is interesting to note the rapidity
with which pupils learn piano, as they
are often able to play small pieces at
the first lesson. The pupils are taught
through syllables. The music department extends an invitation to anyone
interested to visit these classes.
Although comparatively little is heard
of the college orchestra, it is getting
into swing and we are sure to hear more
from it in the near future.
