TW t Alma Mater (Air: Annie Lisle) Far above the river winding, Midst the mountains grand Stands old Normal, dear to students Far throughout the land. Chorus. Bloomsburg, Bloomsburg, Bloomsburg Normal, Up on Normal Hill, Years to come shall find us ever True to Bloomsburg still. Far and wide tho we may wander. Still our hearts are true To our hilltop Alma Mater, We our pledge renew. Chorus Ever seaward Susquehanna, Never resting flows. Ever upward, striving, climbing, Onward Bloomsburg goes. Chorus.

The Hill-Top School Blue skies and the river sparkling, The lilting song of a bird, The crescent moon rising and darkling, A voice in the silence heard. Or, the crackling of frost in the morning, The hungry North-winds whine, The Thunder God ' s deep warning. All These, Bloomsburg, were thine. We all who have known thee and loved thee. Know not easy to climb was the road. That led from the wide-spreading valley. To the heights of thy high abode. Not to the slothful, the hill-tops, Not to the fearfu l, the heights, We must win to the top by our striving. Away from the valley ' s delights. And today as we stand on the threshold, With life stretching widely afar, We know that to gain to the summit We must keep our eyes fixed on a star. Must press onward, and upward, still climbing Though dark and toilsome the way. Still onward, with no repining. Till bright in the clear light of day. We stand on the hill-top ' s summit, Below us the valley and shade . The steeps and the heights all surmounted, A road to the top we have made. And so we leave you old Normal, We thank you, with hearts brimming o ' er For the lessons we learnrd in your classrooms A lesson of wisdom and lore. For, ' tis only by trial and hardship The best things of life are obtained, ' Tis only by climbing the hil lsides. The high tow ' ring summits are gained. Stay long, oh school, on your hilltop. Your tower against the sky Show to the world your ideal. Tell men how to live, not to die. Bring help to the high and the lowly. To all in the field or the mart ' Til all, in God ' s whole creation Unite in doing their part. EVALYN D. WAGNER 3 Paae Four

CR(nC 5M Well, why don ' t you like the cover? It looks better than any annual ever has before this. Everybody else is satisfied, why aren ' t you ? No. the faculty aren ' t so handsome as usual this year. But then, this has been a hard year! Also, remember that some of these cuts are new ! ! Well, maybe these jokes are bum, but then The ones that think these jokes are poor. Would straightway change their views. Could they compare the jokes we print, With those that were refused. We think the staff picture is real good, don ' t you? Per- haps we ' re prejudiced; we hope not!! You say you don ' t like the arrangement? We simply couldn ' t put everything at ihe first. We couldn ' t make the book any bigger because a lot of students would rather let their friends buy an annual and then look at that ! ! w Piifie Six
