Gym Classes Open at Hershe y Men's Club Monda y For the past few weeks the Hershey Men's Club has been putting on a business like aspect with the carpenters and painters hustling around getting the gymnasium in ¦Readiness for the winter season. New boarding has been placed around the sides of the gym and the walls have been neatly painted . The floor has been rubbed down, varnished and lined and all the apparatus has been gone over and placed in A-l condition. It is being planned to make the Hershey Men's Club, the center of activities this winter and to this end classes are being formed, which range from the little fellows, knee high to a grasshopper, through the Intermediate, Junior and Senior classes to the old timers or the Busy Men's Class. Even the ladies ha\e not been forgotten and as in former years, Thursday night will be devoted exclusively to the fair sex. Beginners classes for the ladies will be held on Thursday evenings from 7 to 8, at which time all non-swimmers will be given instruction in group form. The gym classes will begin on Monday Sept. 28th, and are open to all men and boys in Hershey and vicinity. All should avail themselves of this op-portunity to build up their bodies and im-prove their health. ' Membership in the Hershey Men's Club is most reasonable indeed and the various classes should be filled to the utmost every evening.- Work has already begun at the Indus-trial School, where instructor Alex Ma-grini is conducting the physical work at the recess periods for the first eight grades. The recess periods have been lengthened to thirty minutes and the field across from the main building is being used for this purpose, where over sixty boys can be seen at one time enjoying the games and drills. This takes place of the evening classes of last year. The schedule for the Men's Club Classes this year, is as follows: Noon Class—Swimming; Monday, Wed-nesday and Friday, from 12 to 1, Noon class gymnasium, Tuesday and Thursday, 12 to 1. Seniors, 16 year s and up, Monday and Friday, 8 to 9 p. m. Busy men, Tuesday and Friday, 5.30 to 7.00 p. m. Juniors, 14 and up, Tuesday and Friday, 4 to 5.00 p. m., and Saturday, 9 to 11.00 a. m.

Hershe y High Opens Season Oct. 3rd With three weeks of preliminary training under the direction of "Coach" Palmgren, the Hershey High School will be in splendid condition to open its 1925 season with a brighter outlook than for several previous years. With the first call for candidates a bunch of "huskies", numbering about forty, responded. Since then the squad has been cut to 26 men to permit each man to receive individual instruction as to the fundamentals of the game. The squad is in a good physical condition , with the exception of a few bruises and Charley horses. Only four letter men of last year 's varsity remain, and with this nucleus and seven more well trained "grcenies", a smooth working combination should be the result. The team averages between 130 and 135 lbs. and Coach Palmgren is quickly whipp-ing into shape a fast back field. The coach for this year is George L. Palmgren, who succeeds I lenry R. Doug-las. Mr. Palm gren is an all-around athlete , having been a three letterman at U. Sala College, N. J., where he graduated in 1923. He took post-graduate work at Rut gers College and University of Penn-sylvania. He also has taken up Y. M. C. A. worj< , specializing in physica l education and coaching. For the past two years Mr. Palmgren was coaching for Adams High School of the Johnstown district , and developed a championship team last season. Wi th such a well experienced and trained coach and promising material , Hershey High School should turn out a winning team. The big game of the season will bo with Palmyra on the Hershey Park Athletic field on Saturday, Oct. 31. The members of the squad are as fol-lows: Parry, Yingst , Oilman , Carver, Sours, Suavel y, Fasnncht , S. Curry, Wagner, Flanagan , L. Stover , Warner, Gish , Bnlsbaugh , Hersh ey, A.

In^n'* «p ^ n ^n ^ ii *¦ !¦ ^ ¦¦ ^ii ^ ii ^ «i *• i» ^ ii J j The Smokestack ; I 2fti Bee J ay Qee j Me and the Girl Friend. When I 'm walking with my sweetie Down the path so nicely graveled , The way seems short as always seem Ways that are by lovers traveled. When the moon looks down discreetly Through the branches overthreading, I like to walk and talk with her,— She's the one that hails from Reading. When the dimpled waters ripple ' On the lake the pathway borders. • It makes me jealous that the breeze Playfully her hair disorders. ¦ When she gets a piece of gravel On the inside of her slipper, I am the friend she leans upon,— She's a queen, believe me. Skipper! Pat and Bill. In the dear, dead days now gone—we hope beyond recall, we used to drive a team of horses whose names, as we remem-ber them were respectively, Pat and Bill. Pat was a knee-spring sorrel who lay down whenever his exertions in the field became too much for him. Bill was a whale of a horse, and we always gave him two or three inches the short end of the doubletree. Bill's one failing was the blind staggers, and the longer we kept him, the more fre-quent and severe grew the attacks which— we imagine—are to a horse what delirium tremens—we are still imagining—is to a human being. It got so that whenever we were driving Bill single in the buggy and we came to a steep down grade, the darn fool would rear up on his hind feet and actually try to get in the wagon to rids with us. And it was indeed annoying to have Pat lie down when half way across a ploughed field , but there was nothing to do but to sit down on the spring tooth harrow and wait till he had his nap out. We buried old Pat down in the cow pasture by the creek, and his hide made us a lovely robe, very protective on a cold day. We sold Bill to a man who was, in his own opinion, a good judge of hoss flesh. The consideration was a seven-jewel, key-winder watch and seven dollars. And you can't imagine how surprised we looked when he who now owned Bill told us of Bill's circus stunts and offered us another watch , this one a stem-winder, if we would take Bill back again. Discretion , which they tell us, is the better part of valor, badeusrefe us. These rememberings torn from the book of the dim and distant past are all very well, but , as we have said before , what is a story for, if not to point a moral:— Whenever in the old days we took a load of buckwheat, baled hay, or veal calves to town, old Bill was always in the lead. Bill's end of the doubletree was always ahead. Pat's end was always behind. Yet Pat had to pull just as much as though he had kept even. Yes, he had to pull a little more, for he was always trying to catch up. If you will permit us to draw a parallel, tha t is the way it is in life. Some folks are always in the lead , yet they need work no harder than the fellows who are always just a little behind , but trying to catch up. The only disadvantage we can see in always keeping your end of the doubletree a little ahead of the other fellow 's is that the boss is pretty apt to put you on the short end . But even that sort of a life has its little recompenses, usually of a monetary nature. A Slight Error The advertisement of the circus should have read, "Come and see Eli Strongfoot whose feat of strength has never been equaled. " However, just because the printer made a slight mistake, making the ad read , "Come and see Eli Strongfoot whose strength of feet has never been equaled ," the editor of the Cider Press, Apple Hills Leading Weekly Paper, fails to sec why Eli should have taken a fence, or several fences, and , after Strongfooting him vigorously, should have proceeded to use him as a dust mop with which to wipe up the editorial sanctum.

(Continued on Pago 4) Hershey Kinder gar-ten Opens Monda y With 15 Kiddies The Hershey Kindergarten will open on Monday, Sept. 28th, in the Grade School building, and will be in charge of Mrs. Truman B. Thompson, of Harrisburg. Fif teen pupils have already enrolled , and Mrs. Thompson is hoping to have this number increased considerably. If inter-ested , her phone is Bell, 7-5733J. Probably- no other part of the school syster/ .^es its work so well as the kinder-garten, which deals with children generally between 4 and 6 years of age. It was planned by a very wise man, Freidrich Frobel, and it has been part of our system for fift y years. Cheap witticisms have often been turned against the kindergarten with its babies, its enthusiastic young women teachers and ks symbolic plays; but it has been a criticism born of ig-norance. The principles and practices of the kindergarten rest in a profound knowl-edge of child nature, singularly developed for the time when Frobel lived , and in a wise vision of the meaning of life. Any intelligent observer who watches a good kindergarten for an hour cannot fail to see the children grow into citizenship in the little democracy gathered within the room. And the same qualities will enable the child when a man to be a good citizen of Hershey, of the United States and of the commonwealth of the world.

So profoundly was his father impressed by the training his child received that he devoted his past fortune to the creation of Stanford Universi ty, which he conceived as an expansion of the kinder-garten plan to cover the whole period of life. John Hopkins was established on the same fundamental principle. At present this country lack teachers and money for public education and there is a tendency everywhere to cut out expense, School boards are not often made up of educational experts and they are prone to say: "The little ones can wait; they will get it later." All the babies in the United States, American, Irish , Hebrew, German, Czech-slovak and Italian , must be Americanized. As many of their alien parents, and friends as can be reached should be drawn to an understanding and acceptance of our national language, ideals and practices. The kindergarten should be extended and strengthened, just now as never before, because of the fieed for an orderly adjust-ment following the years-of disruption through which we have just passed. "WEINER ROASTS "ARE POPULAR The lady teachers of the local schools held their first "roast " in the Hershey Park on Tuesday evening.

"Too Many Kisses" was directed by Paul Sloane," who made "A Man Must Live."

His exasperated father ships him off to the Basque country in the Pyrenees to get him away from girls, only to have him fall in love with a dark eyed senorita , Yvonne, played by Miss Howard. All of Gaylord's Sr's. carefu lly laid plans go up in smoke. William Powell, seen in "The Bright Shawl," "Romola " and others, plays the part of a villainous captain of the guards in the little village and is a rival of Dix for the love of Yvonne.

A large electric sign has been placed above the entrance of the Hershey Central Theatre, and Uussell Zentmeyer, the progressive and alert manager of that up-to-date theatre is pleased to sticks. Not only that the sign lights up everything for blocks away, but that it has also been the means of attract-ing numerous passersby, helping fill the theatre to capacity on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings. This is as it should be, for the pictures are right-up-to-the- minute, and are shown at popular prices. For less than the car fare to Har-risburg or Lebanon, one can spend an evening's amusement, and in many in-stances see pictures even before they are shown in either of those two cities.

"Bunco", a progressive game that is just being introduced in this part of the country was played, after which a very enjoyable parod y was sung by the winners of the game. Mrs. John Snavely gave a number of readings. Misses Roth and Mentzer played several piano selections. Mrs. A. M. Hinkle welcomed the teachers in behalf of the Board of Directors and Mrs. John Shay led the guests in a number of com-munity songs. The party broke up about eleven thirty. The Association hopes that this is only one of the many such evenings th t will be held d ring the winter months as it is most desirous of making the Associa-tion building a community center where anyone wishing to entertain may feel free to use the large hall down stairs.

En-coura ges and Fosters Athletic Activities The High School Athletic Association was busy during the past week enrolling the pupils of the Junior-Senior High School as members of the association. Very splendid results have been obtained. Room 10A was the first to report a one hundred percent enrollment, with dues paid in advance for the entire year. Room 8C followed closely with a one hundred percent pledged membership but not entire ly paid up. The Athletic Association is an organiza-tion of enthusiastic and loyal pupils who encourage and foster the various athletic activities of the school. It is the only common bond among the various classes of the school—the common desire for ath letic prowess. The success of the athletic teams usually depends upon the loyalty of the Atheltic Association, because the teams are the product of the Association and each mem-ber feels a vi tal interest in the teams. Prof. A. M. Hin kel, the Supervising Principa l , announces that he has learned that where schools have winning teams, he finds that the membership of the Athletic Association extends far beyond the per-sonnel of the school . First of all, the Alumni of the school form a large integral part of the Association, who by their loyalty as well as by the contribution of their membership fees become a potent factor in the success of the teams. Then their is the honorary membership. This is made up of the loyal patrons of the school throughout the community, in-fluential citizens, business men, men of affairs. The assurance that men and women of this type are backing and sup-l> orting the activities of the school , is be-yond doubt the most powerful stimulus tha t any team can receive. The school authorities heartily endorse and recommend an Athletic Association whose membership shall embrace a student Ixxly, an alumni backing, and an honorary membership. The income accruing from the clues of these combined bodies would make i t jxissible to purchase such equip-ment as will give the contestant the great-est efficiency and the greatest protection. This is not possible from the very small sum of money received from the school mcml)ci'sh!p, who, of the three possible bwlics mentioned alxive, are least able to cont ribute.

Gym Classes Open

For the past few weeks the Hershey
Men's Club has been putting on a business
like aspect with the carpenters and painters
hustling around getting the gymnasium in
¦Readiness for the winter season. New
boarding has been placed around the sides
of the gym and the walls have been neatly
painted . The floor has been rubbed down,
varnished and lined and all the apparatus
has been gone over and placed in A-l
condition.
It is being planned to make the Hershey

indeed and the various classes should be
filled to the utmost every evening.-
Work has already begun at the Indus-trial
School, where instructor Alex Ma-grini
is conducting the physical work at the
recess periods for the first eight grades.
The recess periods have been lengthened
to thirty minutes and the field across from
the main building is being used for this
purpose, where over sixty boys can be seen
at one time enjoying the games and drills.
This takes place of the evening classes of
last year.

Hershe y High Opens
Season Oct. 3rd
With three weeks of preliminary training
under the direction of "Coach" Palmgren,
the Hershey High School will be in splendid
condition to open its 1925 season with a
brighter outlook than for several previous
years. With the first call for candidates
a bunch of "huskies", numbering about
forty, responded. Since then the squad
has been cut to 26 men to permit each man
to receive individual instruction as to the
fundamentals of the game. The squad is
in a good physical condition , with the
exception of a few bruises and Charley
horses.
Only four letter men of last year 's varsity
remain, and with this nucleus and seven
more well trained "grcenies", a smooth
working combination should be the result.
The team averages between 130 and 135
lbs. and Coach Palmgren is quickly whipp-ing
into shape a fast back field.
The coach for this year is George L.
Palmgren, who succeeds I lenry R. Doug-las.
Mr. Palm gren is an all-around
athlete , having been a three letterman at
U. Sala College, N. J., where he graduated
in 1923. He took post-graduate work at
Rut gers College and University of Penn-sylvania.
He also has taken up Y. M. C.
A. worj< , specializing in physica l education
and coaching. For the past two years Mr.
Palmgren was coaching for Adams High
School of the Johnstown district , and
developed a championship team last
season. Wi th such a well experienced and
trained coach and promising material ,
Hershey High School should turn out a
winning team.
The big game of the season will bo with
Palmyra on the Hershey Park Athletic
field on Saturday, Oct. 31.
The members of the squad are as fol-lows:
Parry, Yingst , Oilman , Carver,
Sours, Suavel y, Fasnncht , S. Curry,
Wagner, Flanagan , L. Stover , Warner,

Me and the Girl Friend.
When I 'm walking with my sweetie
Down the path so nicely graveled ,
The way seems short as always seem
Ways that are by lovers traveled.
When the moon looks down discreetly
Through the branches overthreading,
I like to walk and talk with her,—
She's the one that hails from Reading.
When the dimpled waters ripple
' On the lake the pathway borders. •
It makes me jealous that the breeze
Playfully her hair disorders. ¦
When she gets a piece of gravel
On the inside of her slipper,
I am the friend she leans upon,—
She's a queen, believe me. Skipper!
Pat and Bill.
In the dear, dead days now gone—we
hope beyond recall, we used to drive a
team of horses whose names, as we remem-ber
them were respectively, Pat and Bill.
Pat was a knee-spring sorrel who lay down
whenever his exertions in the field became
too much for him. Bill was a whale of a
horse, and we always gave him two or three
inches the short end of the doubletree.
Bill's one failing was the blind staggers,
and the longer we kept him, the more fre-quent
and severe grew the attacks which—
we imagine—are to a horse what delirium
tremens—we are still imagining—is to a
human being. It got so that whenever we
were driving Bill single in the buggy and
we came to a steep down grade, the darn
fool would rear up on his hind feet and
actually try to get in the wagon to rids
with us. And it was indeed annoying to
have Pat lie down when half way across a
ploughed field , but there was nothing to do
but to sit down on the spring tooth harrow
and wait till he had his nap out.
We buried old Pat down in the cow
pasture by the creek, and his hide made us
a lovely robe, very protective on a cold day.
We sold Bill to a man who was, in his own
opinion, a good judge of hoss flesh. The
consideration was a seven-jewel, key-winder
watch and seven dollars. And
you can't imagine how surprised we looked
when he who now owned Bill told us of
Bill's circus stunts and offered us another
watch , this one a stem-winder, if we would
take Bill back again. Discretion , which
they tell us, is the better part of valor,
badeusrefe us.
These rememberings torn from the book
of the dim and distant past are all very
well, but , as we have said before , what is a
story for, if not to point a moral:—
Whenever in the old days we took a load
of buckwheat, baled hay, or veal calves to
town, old Bill was always in the lead.
Bill's end of the doubletree was always
ahead. Pat's end was always behind.
Yet Pat had to pull just as much as though
he had kept even. Yes, he had to pull a
little more, for he was always trying to
catch up. If you will permit us to draw a
parallel, tha t is the way it is in life. Some
folks are always in the lead , yet they need
work no harder than the fellows who are
always just a little behind , but trying to
catch up. The only disadvantage we can
see in always keeping your end of the
doubletree a little ahead of the other
fellow 's is that the boss is pretty apt to put
you on the short end . But even that sort
of a life has its little recompenses, usually
of a monetary nature.
A Slight Error
The advertisement of the circus should
have read, "Come and see Eli Strongfoot
whose feat of strength has never been
equaled. "
However, just because the printer made
a slight mistake, making the ad read ,
"Come and see Eli Strongfoot whose
strength of feet has never been equaled ,"
the editor of the Cider Press, Apple Hills
Leading Weekly Paper, fails to sec why Eli
should have taken a fence, or several
fences, and , after Strongfooting him
vigorously, should have proceeded to use
him as a dust mop with which to wipe up
the editorial sanctum.

Hershey Kinder gar-ten
Opens Monda y
With 15 Kiddies
The Hershey Kindergarten will open on
Monday, Sept. 28th, in the Grade School
building, and will be in charge of Mrs.
Truman B. Thompson, of Harrisburg.
Fif teen pupils have already enrolled , and
Mrs. Thompson is hoping to have this
number increased considerably. If inter-ested
, her phone is Bell, 7-5733J.
Probably- no other part of the school
syster/ .^es its work so well as the kinder-garten,
which deals with children generally
between 4 and 6 years of age. It was
planned by a very wise man, Freidrich
Frobel, and it has been part of our system
for fift y years. Cheap witticisms have
often been turned against the kindergarten
with its babies, its enthusiastic young
women teachers and ks symbolic plays;
but it has been a criticism born of ig-norance.
The principles and practices of
the kindergarten rest in a profound knowl-edge
of child nature, singularly developed
for the time when Frobel lived , and in a
wise vision of the meaning of life.
Any intelligent observer who watches a
good kindergarten for an hour cannot fail
to see the children grow into citizenship in
the little democracy gathered within the
room. And the same qualities will enable
the child when a man to be a good citizen
of Hershey, of the United States and of the
commonwealth of the world.
