The Choice of a College
As the senior year dra.ws to a close
th2 memib,ers of the ,class a re realfrzin.
g that the ·choice of a college can
not ·be ,put o:flf mu􀅏h longer, and the
vexed ,question seems as much of a
puzzle as ever.
The colleges themselves have a
prc.blem in distinguishing among the
many seeking admission, the small
number who are really tra'in,ed a.nd
d'itted for the courses they are so
·gallantly seeking to enter.
A 'few like Yale, 'Harvard and
!Princeton put the responsi·bility on
the college entrance board and further
eliminate by consid2ring school
records and letters from three 1'€ferences
mho are neither teachers nor
relativrn of the a;pplicants.
An aptitude test, has also been
adopted ,by a great many. The colleges
seem to be concerned lest the
freshman who enter are unfit for the
cours,e. Th'! sub-freshman are only
worrying about their chances of getting
into the college and have a sublime
faith that thefr troubles i.vill
end as soon as the college gates
swing open for them.
The number of freshmen dropped
cut ,of th'! different coJ:leges each
year seems to indicate that the colleges
are rwo-rrying o,ver a reality and
that the sub-fr,eshmen are over optimistic
o·v,er their a•bility to stay· in
the course.
11\,Iany colleges are accepting certi:f:'
ca tes from the highest fourth or
third of a graduating class.
Where wj:JJ the others g9 ? They
can gain entrance ·by passing the coliege
,board exams. .Do they enjoy
this sug,gestion? !No they do not,
bl't every second or third rate student
wants to get into the most rigorous
and difficult college course.
That ina•bility to learn mathematics
is not an rindieation that a boy should
study erugineering wO'uld s,eem to be
a s·elf-e,vident truth.
,Hut ·by another course of reasoning
a failure in Latin surely means that
the student is a born engineer.
1So much by way of stating the
pToblem. Noiw for the sol'lltion.
ll1f you are a poor sbudent, seek a
small .:oNege whose standards are
not too exacting.
If you are afraid of the college
board, •be equally afraid of colleges
like Cornell, Carnegie and ,Lehi:,gh.
1Don't worry about the college being
good enough for you, it will be,
and may,be some extra.
If you stand on the honor roll then
you are justified in thinking yourself
·good and may aspire to the
larger and more difficult college
courses.

Memorial Service For Mr. Marks
On Sunday, April 29, a memorial
service was held in the Presbyterian
Church of Tidioute, Pennsylvania, for
Mr. S. F. Marks, who was for many
years pastor of that parish . Mrs.
Marks, Miss Marks and Mr. J. L.
Marks went up on Saturday to attend
the services, Mrs. J. L. Marks
being unable to go because of illness
in the family.
Mr. Lambert, the present pastor,
preached on the Christian Ministry,
using Rev. Marks as the highest type
of man in that ·service. Very
beautiful music, including Mr. Marks'
favorite hymns was sung, and a
wealth -of flowers attested to the
love of his many friends in the congregation.
Scholastic Editor
The !News has· been invited to ioin

whose official or.gan, titled
'''The 1Slcholastic .Editor" is de·voted to

We notice the following· reas<Jns
'gi·ven ,by many schools, rfor not getting
out ,s,chool annuals:
,First-They ar-e expensive and
hard to finance.
ISecond -The students won't buy
them.
Third -They take more time than

Fourth-They inv,olve too much
grid. The value o'f the work when

The 1Ne•w.s iis well aware of some
of these ohjections and is going to
comoromise by issuing a big number

SIR ROGER ON COMPANIONATE
MARRIAGE
0 Tempora ! .. Omores ! -Cicero
. There is scarce anything more
common than animosities be·tween
parties that cannot c·oncur. This is
well represented in the sedition of
t,he memibers, o•f the human body in
the old !Roman fable. J.t is often the
case in marriages of today.
!Last iwee·k at our du-0, .. Sir !Roger
and Will iHoney,comb took contrary
stands on the much disputed subject
,of co.mpanionate marr:aige. Sir
Sir ,Roger, staid, philosophic character
that .he is, of course took a stand
a-gain.st it. His antiquated beliefs
have sti'll held true to him in spite o.f
the modernized conditfon of the
thriJ!l-seeking /world. Will !Honeycomb,
brilliant, dashin,g, capricious,
stood in vindication o'f the modern
i<leas.
1'4Corrnianionate marriage," exclai,
med IS'i-r Rog-• er -vehemen'tly, losing
his usual .sedateness, "is one of the
most aibsurrl ideas that ,has ever dfffuse<
l itself through manildnd ! It i.;
most odious to gentlemen and women
of the old school.
·'IOompani,onate marriage as not a
marriage of ,blind lov.e and tender
affecti.on. but a· cool, deli:berate experim•

"That is quiite ri,ght," interrupted
Will, "tut rbeg-ood enoue-h to take
into ,consideration the di,vorces oif
today. Why a.re there .s·o many?
Perohance it is because of this Mind

hesitate to think whethqr "r not they

"\Not all df.vorcPs are caused• by
Pnhap·ply unions," continued Sir
.Ro,e-er, ne:r,vers·1y rho'lding- to his
:ooint. "Th"Y have s,imp,lv become
the mode of this ever<"hanging- world.
Divor,ce, c,ollnqui<illv sn°akine-. is
the last word in fashiona•ble circles.
'IFu:r,thermore, it i13 · my belief that
•when a man marries the w0man he
loves he wants t'VW<1rk for her. For
what is the use of la·boring 3.nd stri.vin.ir

seemeq as though searching
for s•omething to retort. Captain
Sentry was in a brown study, app, a.rently
heedless of e,v,erything. S'ir

and gazed ,out o.f the :windolW
with unsee.ing eyes. The cle:r,gyman

"I believe we had ibetter retire and

1Siir Roger had evidently sc·o!'ed hi.s
point.
Rev. B. F. Lloyd
Addresses the Y
On April 26, Rev. B. F. Lloyd, pastor
of the First Baptist Church of
Vandergrift gave the boys who were
fortunate enough to attend prayer
meeting a talk which they will not
quickly forget. His speech was brief
and decidedly to the point, delivered
in a most pleasing manner.
The talk was based on experiences
in the speaker's school life, and was
very applicable to our own problems.
The theme was c,ontainel in the
ver<b "watc;h", which· will always
come to us when we look to
see what time it is. Rev. Lloyd cau- ,
tioned us to watch our words, both
in the matter of swearing·, and of
talking to other people. He showed
how cruel words, spoken almost unconsciously,
may cause others much
unhappiness. We must also watch
our actions. "Live a good, clean,
healthy life," he said "and don't do
things you will be sorry for." Watch
your thoughts-control them before
they control you. "As a man thinketh,
so is he," he quoted from the
Bible. Then, especially while you are
young, watch how you choose your
companions. "Choose your companions,
don't let them choose you."
Above all, strive to watch your heart.
God should be the dictator of your
life. Let Him truly dictate it.
The Y. M. C. A. wishes to thank
Rev. Lloyd :for his talk. It .was certainly
enjoyed by everyone.

Kiski Orchestra On the Air
The echoes of the Kiski concert
broadcast over WCAE on the evening
of April 13 are still being heard
on the campus. In spite of the double
hoodoo-Friday, the 13th-the program
was given with great success,
and came over the air clearly to
groups, sitting with attentive ear at
every loud speaker on the campus.
The program was as follows:
"After Mv Laughter Came Tears"
"So Tired."
Saxaphone Solo-Sam Lowry-
"Lovely Lady."
"There Must Be a Silver Lining".
"Silver Moon."
"Kiski Then Forever."
Wilson, C. Pierce, Pavitt, Werts, R.
Tener, J. Jones, Mac Callister, Gill,
Simmons, Lowry, Hudson and Volkwein
made up the personelle of the
orchestra. Mr. Myer and Mr. Greenaway
going a'ong as patrons. The
latter, who was taking the instruments
in his car was somehow delayed
in starting and had a ride resembling
some of the sensations at
Corona Beach. However by taking all
the hills on high and all the curves on
two wheels, running YJast all siP"nal
lights and bowling over two policemen,
he reached the studio at 6.59
and the concert began promptly at
6 :65, only a little behind schedule.
Many favorable comments have been
·received from friends who were listening
in.

Kiski Loses First
To Juniata "Y", 3-2
Kiski opened the baseball season
with the Juniata Y. M. C. A. of Altoona
on Friday the twenty eighth
on the Kiski field. The "Y" tossers
chalked up runs in rapid succession
during the second and third innings
which the Kiski boys couldn't overcome.
The game lasted but five innings,
which was agreed by both teams before
the game got under way. Both
hurlers ,pitched fine ball, but a few
misplays caused the downfall of the
Kiski lads. Hornyak was relieved by
Long in the fifth. Sands twirled the
five innings.

for wheat they devour the annual
loss to the country is enormous.
How many of them would be required

'4Play them rwhere they lie," he
says.
"The hardest shots- are often the
􀆢est shots fo,r they are concentrated
on more. What if your ball is lying
in a -careless person's heel mark.
Let it lie there. Det0 rmine the
·best fair method of getting it out.
In the g-ame of Hfe hard shots are
·g-oing to present themselves to us.
Will we be ab'le to kick them aside
or tee them u:p?
'4N'o, I rather tend to believe _we
will ha,v,e to soe,heme and thi'nik out a
way of foll.owing through with them
and playing them where the lie.
"The ,game of ,golf," he continues,"
fights back at you just as hard as
you fight.
"It necessftates quite a large
vocabulary. [t can brea·k or build, a
good character. !But it gives you
,back evervithing that you p,ut into it.
It is a ifair opponent. Try your best
to ikeep out o'f the rough but once
there take your rough with the fai-r-
. ·way and play them where th€y lie."

Senior Class Holds
Election of Officers
At the second regular meeting the
class of 1928 held the election of officers.
The meeting took place on
April 20th in Recitation Hall. The
system of election is as follows:
During their sojourn at Kiski the
boys acquire a certain number of
"points" according to their several
interests and abilities in scholarship
and extra-curriculum activities such
as athletics, the Executive Committee,
the News board, the orchestra,
band, etc. When the class is organized,
toward the close of the year,
these points are added up. At the
election the boys are nominated for
the different offices and appointed
according to the number of points
they have earned. This system was
invented a number of years ago with
a two-fold purpose; first it eliminates
pol:t:ncs, as in the popular election
system, and second it gievs those
boys who have been out for the
teams and other activites an earned
:advantage.
The following officers of the class
-0f 1928 represent almost ecery phase
-0f the life of the school. Points were
gained by them by membership on
the first honor roll, the football and
baseball teams, the Glee Club, the
the Kiski News Staff, the swimming
-Orchestra, the Executive Committee,
team, rifle club, the track team, golf
team, dance com. and tennis team.

Sentiments of a
Kiski Boy In 1801
The first copy of the constitution
that Daniel Webster evey saw was
printed on a cotton pocket handkerchief,
which he bought for twentyfive
cents. He spent the evening of
that day pursuing the document by
the light of a blazing fire. In later
life he was known as the greatest
champion the constitution ever had.
On one occasion Webster was put
to mowing with a big scythe. Sometimes
he swung over the tops of the
grass, sometimes ploughed up the
ground, and he complained that the
tool was not hung right. Various attempts
were made to improve it, but
without success. Finally his father
told him to hang it himself, whereupon
he hung it on a tree, saying,
"There! that's just right!" His father
must have had a sense of humor too,
for he laughed and told him to let it
hang there.
Daniel was sent to school because
he was a sickly young fellow and
"not fit for anything else." At fourteen
he was sent for a few months
training to Exeter, where he was
very unhappy because the fellows
laughed at him for coming from the
backô€…¶woods, and for appearing stupid.
At the end of the first quarter
he had advanced from the foot to
the head of the class, and at the end
of the second quarter he left it altogether
and advanced to the first
form. He went through college with
credit, and was graduated in 1801.
He had hoped, and his friends expected
that he would be made valedictorian
of his class, but that honor
was conferred upon another
(whese name is now forgotten)
Webster was so disgusted at receiving
only a dipbma that after the
commencement exercises were over
he asked some of his classmates to
accompany him to the green behind
the college, and there he tore the diploma
to b:ts and threw the fragaments
to the w:nds, "My industry
may make me a great man some day''
quoth he "but this miserable parchrrent
never wi'l." So saying he
climbed upon his horse and rode
home.
Back Seat Driver
Jack-"Did your wife drive the
car home after the football game?"
Jim-"No, she was too hoa.se!"
Nit-'Shoe College is the best."
Wit-"Why."
Nit-"Cause it's higher than Oxford.
Speaker-"! am a man of few
words."
In Audience-" I am also a married
man."
Two boys keeping company with
the same girl are said to be parallel.
They never meet.
