IIE HT3 E. H. NELSON To know him, is to love Urn! THE first few days of our Junior year gave us ample time to know him. The remainder of our sojourn .-it Bio sburg has given us time, though not ample time, to love him. When we entered our Alma Mater in September of 192S we vrr - in- dividually impressed with the smiling, pleasant instructor who we heard was Professor !• ' .. II. Nelson. So when it came time to decide upon our class advisor no debating was necessary. With one accord we proudly and unanimously elected Professor Nelson. Needless to say. we have never since had cause to regret our wise choice. Whenever we had ideas that we thought would benefit our class we carried them to our advisor. His unfailing ' interest and patience always aided us in making our plans work successfully for the good of our class. To him we owe much of the credit for the success of the class of ' 27. Not only did we find him to he a competent advisor, hut also a true and worthy friend. To him we carried our sorrows or joys when we were blue or overjoyed. No matter how we felt before talking to him. we always departed from a friendly chat with him feeling that we had one true pal whose interest was always ours. We had the pleasure of being his students, too. In class his subtle humor and winning smile helped us overcome whatever obstacles might arise, and it was with keen .anticipation that we looked forward to his meet- ings with us. Now that we are about to leave our Alma Mater it is with none but the warmest of feelings ami deepest of regrets that we bid adieu to Professor Nelson, our beloved advisor, instructor, and friend. 2T

TED ®l ' Not So Long Ago ' tA II Y do they .ill pick on Freshie ? This is a question that is easily V r answered. The Freshie shall never forget that answer, and never wishes tn forget it. Those days of green ribbons, black dinks, plus tin- black and blur marks are days of bliss in every college graduate ' s iieart. We have served under the hand of upper classmen. We think that it has been our duty to have been the most harshly treated class of all. In fact, we will always remember that it was our class that answered to tin- call of customs at Bloomsburg for the first time in its history. The above statements may be true, but they shall never be regretted. We were taught many lessons and profited by those teachings. Customs wen very small compared with the other wonderful feats entered into by our class during our first year. We have excelled socially, mentally, morally, and physically. Our class organized in a very short time after our entrance. Our offi- cers were certainly well qualified for leadership. They captained our progress socially in fine order. After a few social affairs were given in our honor we decided to have a ' Kid Party. The event was voted a suc- cess by all. The costumes and program were well arranged by the chair- man and committee. Due to a school tradition we were allowed to show our talent at dramatics. We placed Come out of the Kitchen before a well-pleased audience. Our big gala occasion came at our Prom. McHale ' s Collegians furnished music to a colorful crowd of students and guests. Decorations. they were artfully chosen with a perfect blend of color, music, and swaying dancers. Our athletes showed ability in all sports. Varsity, class, and club activi- ties were very much added to by their entrance into the various sports. Our intellectual and moral standards have been high. We must give much credit to our faculty guardianship. They have led us even higher and showed us flu paths to success. We, th, Senior class of 1927. are aiming to become better men and women due partially to our life as Fresh- men in this institution. (H TTTJ;
