COPE was born at East Bradford, Chester County, Pa., March 20, 1845. He was rai.sed on a farm at that place and attended the pubHc schools there in his early boyhood days. Later, he entered a private school at West Chester under the supervision of Prof. Fordyce Allen, an exceptionally ' strong teacher, who was called to the pnn- cipalship of Mansfield Normal School in 1866. Prof. Cope was among the stu- dents who followed this capable man to Mansfield, and graduated there in the cla.ssof 1867. He taught for some time at Montrose. He then returned to his home in Chester County and spent a short time on the farm. In 1873 he was called to the Principalship of the schools of Selinsgrove, Pa., where he continued in charge until 18S0. During this time he brought the schools to a very high degree of efficiency ' , proving himself a most forceful disci- plinarian and leader. During the summer vacation of 1877, he was in charge of the Normal Insti- tute, a training school for teachers. In 1880 he took the Principalship of the Lewistown schools, and remained until 188. ). He reorganized the schools and brot them to a very high degree of excellence, making them among the best in the state. From here he was called to the Bloomsburg State Normal School in 18So, as teacher of Arithmetic, in which work he was very successful. His pupils remem- ber with pleasure his stimulating class-room work. It was generally conceded that he could train a wooden post to think. His persistent efforts to proline clear thinking on the part of his pupils resulted in their facetiously giving him the so- briquet of Per Cent of what ? Later he was transferred to the department of Natural Sciences, a as th; work grew he became the head of the department of Physical Sciences, his pres- ent position. Prof. Cope is a most enthusiastic and wide awake teacher. None can de- velop a subject or present it as he can, nor can any teacher so effectively awaken the slow or indifferent pupil. His pupils respect and love him and none goes out from his class without high ideals of what rational teaching ought to be. He is genial, pleasant, sympathetic, patient with the plodding mind and lavish with his time to the earnest student. No teacher has done more for the public schools of Pennsylvania than this quiet, earnest, modest man. He is also quite a sportsman, being very fond of the wild. The trout stream is his joy and as soon as spring opens he miy be foi il with his rod, whipping the streams for speckled beauties. He drinks in he.Uth and inspiration among the mountains for his work. axidlllill lOBlTER.1 ■ -i_ir ?

ELLKN IC. .SCHOOXOVKR, widow of Isaac T ' lfl Schoonover, aud a former resident of Brooklyn, died (3 at Bloomsbiirg, Pa., on February 6th, 1918. Mrs. Schoonover taught in this school for the past twelve or fifteen years. She assisted in the Engli.sh department, and her work here dealt largely with the Cuban and Porto Rican stu- dents, with whom she was es]iecially successful, and whom she not only taught but mothered as well. The school has lost a woman of remarkable character and ability. Her influence over all who came in contact with htr shows itself in the fact that a number of her students have be- come prominent and successful in business life. Here was a personality which will long be remembered by those with whom she came in contact. 20 |oBiTER,l, ; ' , a5aEiMpgl!

Mr. Leidich, president of the Junior Class, was chairman. After much discussion as to who should be the head officers of the ' class the f( llowing were finally decided upon: John Gearhart, President; Mildred Avery, Vice Piesident ; Ruth Po]ie, Secretary ; and Fred B. Witchey, Treasurer. After a stornn- address by our newl -elected president, 191(S ' s first meeting adjourned. During the cour.se of the next few mouths many meetings were held in which were decided import;int questions, such as class colors, motto, class flower, appointing com- mittees, etc. All this time the class members were working hard to make a good beginning and a good history for 1918. In the classrooms the teachers were constantly being reminded that at least some of the members of this small class carried some of that material under their hats called gray matter. In athletics we were not lost sight of. Our boys were out for basket ball, track, and ba.se ball, and much good and clever ]ilaying was done. Bv March our first supply of class pennants had arrived. They sure took the lead, and if we were not ahead of the other classes in anything else we were in this line. Now our cla.ss was brot more prominentl} ' into view b ' being represented by these pennants. June 11th, 1915, marks the time as the last meeting for this year, and Father Time gives us time out until the following September. Thus you see the functions and du- ties of a great class in the embryo stage, and tho the class did not stand out .so prominent- ly, it was only a little thing, but it was the beginning, and great things always begin with little things. A History of 1918 in its Second Year CLASS OFFICERS President, Edwin D. Woodward. Vice President, Edna Davenport. Secretary, Ruth Pope. Treasurer, Fred B. Witchey. ( ? HIS is the year we came into posse.ssion of our own ; for, verily we owned the M place. There was now a cla.ss younger than ours and truly we felt weighed down with dignity. As Seniors, we smile when we think of the degree of seriousness with which we assumed the rank of Sophomores. Indeed we lorded it over that Freshman Class. At every turn domineering com- mands confronted them. Stop ! Look ! and cease not to obey, for the.se are the implaca- ble, immutable, inexorable mandates of your superiors, brilliant, majestic, omnipotent 1918. Of course, to display our lately inherited dignity, we must have a class meeting, marked by all the ])onip and splendor usually attributed to a Soi)h()more class. The first class meeting was both intellectual and interesting. After considerable debating we chose our class colors, which are burnt orange and blue. Full many a time thru the in- spiration of these colors our team has been ]iiloted to victory. We were given a fair showing in all fields of athletics because we owned the stars, Bavolack, Kester, Joyce, Woodward and Pollock. The greatest feature of our year ' s work was the Public Speaking Contest. The class as a unit heljied to make it a success. The jirizes were won by Mary Agnes Smith and Edwina Wieland. The showing in this our gala day, made us feel that we had a chance to do something really worth while for ' 1! . 24 t OBITER. I V aSJJaii JiP ' ! ■l ifta ,, fi i A History of 1918 in its Third or Junior Year ( HE THIRD act of our class drama began the second week of September with the 1|l following persons occupying the leading roles : President, Kdwin D. Woodward. Vice President, lili .abeth MacI)on:iId. vSecrelar ' , Ruth Pojie. Treasurer, Fred B. Witchey. The ranks had increased greatly in number and brains ?). We had the promise of a banner class for ' IS, but the war, the cruel war, de])leted its ranks. Our motto this -ear seemed to be : Go to it boss, the world is yours if you get after it. In the words of the famous historian : IC -er one works with a will. In the fair month of October on the fairest of days, we betook ourselves to the frout campus and posed heroically before the im])osing edifice of the chapel building to have our pictures took. Then in a magnificent splurge of class spirit we all bought one to hang up over the gas jet in our respective rooms for future reference and inspiration. Just a word about our class meetings. They were the acme of intellectual outbursts. The meetings were called to order by the jiresident. The minutes of the last previous meeting were read and approved and the business on hand taken up. After lengthy (?) and anarchical discussions startling conclusions were arrived at. put in forms of motions and passed upon. A motion is now in order for adjournment. We might say here that the chapel was nearly large enuf to contain all the members of the class who attend- ed these class meetings. Bede Junior ' s attention is called to another phase of the class ' s activity, that of athletics. Let us saj- here that we shone so brilliantly that most of us failed to see anything being done at all. But this is because the dazzling stars on the Junior teams blinded us, and casts no reflection on the athletic ability of our remarkable class. But we all did see the splendid work of our classmates at the Magee Contest. There two of our members came out with as many prizes out of the three offered. June arrived with a nightmare for us all in the form of State Board Exams. Our sleep was tortured by visions of crabbed old men who walk up and down thru tiers of startled Juniors, scattering goose-eggs with an unrestrained hand. We have all lived to tell the tale, and our happy smiles proved to the world that the life of a Junior was a joyous one. In conclusion, I wish to state that I have fulfilled to the best of my ability, the duties incumbent upon a class historian. I have portrayed the joys and scarcely any of the sorrows ; I have spoken no slander nor listened to it. BEDE JUNIOR. JOBITEPL} Senior History YPJ EAR READER : It has been our aim to give you a glimpse of our sojourn i at B. S. N. S. {Jj In the Fall of 1014, a few ardent explorers from various sections of the state chanced upon these strange coasts. Among them were gold-hunters for fame and fishermen for knowledge. We have witnes.sed a year of wondrous growth, when as Juniors our ranks were swelled b) other explorers in the pursuit of learning. We have suffered defeats and misfortunes ; we have passed thru struggles to victories ; we have experienced turbulent times and enjoyed eras of good feel- ing, all of which have gone to form a more perfect union. We have produced brilliant statesmen in the field of oratory ; valiant fight- ers on the athletic field ; and earnest e.xplorers in the realms of science. In all our endeavors we have held before us our motto : Honor, Truth, and Service. Honor has kept before us the debt we owe to ourselves and our Alma Mater. True to our ideals we have been true to ourselves. Thru Service to our classmates and friends we have served ourselves. These four years have been but a brief period of preparation for our life- long struggle in support of Honor, Truth and Service.

Now and then, last year, Helen came to 7:50 class on time, but this year she has re- formed, and is invariably seen powdering her nose in the cloak- room at 7:4o. Helen has a passionate fondness for argument, and may often be seen in the midst of an animated group, holding forth on tlie subject of theol- ogy, politics, eugenics or fashions.

EDNA C. AURAND, Wilkes-Barre ED W. B. H.S., Pliilo, Normal Course. QINCE it is against the Normal rules for boys and girls to as.sociate very closely with one another, we nicknamed Edna Ed, thinking that the name alone might make us feel that we were ])rotected by a stronger arm. She has car- ried out her duties well. Ed is quiet and reserved and does much to- ward preser ' ing the dignity of our class. How- ever, slie also loves a good time at the right time. Her most difficult problem at Normal is get- ting up when the riser rings. The problem is solved by rejjeating each morning the words : Well, I guess I will have to get up three times. Her day ' s work is not complete until she has been down town for a C. M. P. During her stay at Normal, she has won many friends who wish her success in whatever line of work she undertakes. ;)i baa - TTTeTsl FLORLNCL AVERILL, Berwick Beivvick Hii h School, Normal Course, Philo, Philo Drama 3, Y. V. C. A. Buzz, Buzz, Buzz, have you any news. THIS young lady of decision hailed from Ber- ' wick High School where she had always decided the most important issues of the day. Florence rushes into everything pell mell, with the slogan ' ' do or die. She is decisive in her judgment, unchangeable in her opinion, in other words sot in her ways. Her great- est ambition is to study birds, and her chief de light is a close analysis of the Jay bird. Coupled with these facts we can truly say that Florence is a splendid worker and a true friend, altho she is an excellent squelcher, yet we love her for it. FLORLNCL BAILLY, Berwick R. H. S., Normal Course, Philo, Day Student. PLORENCE came from Berwick High in ' Kl. ' She had, however, spent most of her high school days in Western Female High School, Baltimore. There are folks of every sort in the world, but Bailey belongs to the sort that you positively must like. Vou can ' t helj) it, when you know her. According to Florence, Normal is evervthing, excein that it lacks Beech Trees. Why she should notice this, we cannot say unless there is more in the name than most of us know about. There has been an organization in our class known as Paper Sack Brigade. It holds its meetings in Prof. Werntz ' class- room from I 2 to ]2;45 every day. Florence is the ])resident of this .society and a worthy one. When it comes to life work we wish her all success possible, whether it be school teaching, or lumbering. jftgSiSs leis - RUTH BAIRD, Wilkes-Barre W. B. H. S., I ' hilo, Y. V. C. A., Normal Course. Satan always finds mischief for idle hands to ao. THE above proverb expresses Ruth ' s sentiments exactly. A more industrious ])erson one cannot find, yet where fun is concerned, Ruth is Johnny-on-the-spot. Work ? Oh, that is no object. Watch her when and where you will, her face is ever cheerful and smiling. Ruth is also what one would call a good girl, but remem- ber, there ' s a little bit of bad in every good little girl, and she is by no means an exception.

P AN is one of the most notorious characters - at B. S. N. S. Having been here four years he has had time to find out many whys and wherefores about the place, concerning w hich tlie rest of us are hopele sly ignorant, so that Dan serves many times as more or less of a walking information bureau. He is a jc)ll - good fellow and a jiure o])timist and goes into everything with all the vim and enthu.sia.sm that one mortal could possibly mus- ter. A good illustration of this is the fact that everyone agrees that Dan is the best cheer- leader that B. S. N. S. ever boa.sted of. All these traits, together with his prov ess in athletics, and other qualities peculiar to himself alone, liave made him an accomplished heart smasher. We wish the best of things for Dan, and do not worry for his future happiness and success, providing his hearty laugh stays with him. HLLLN BECKER, Plymouth p. H. S., Normal Conrse, Philo. Y. V. C.

This is Helen. Please do not infer from the above that she is a goody-good becau.se they do not e.xist at B. S. N. S. She is very ambitious. This splendid trait is .shown by her early rising and alwa s getting to class on lime.

Well, my friend, there are those little literary treats — observations— which it is necessarv for every Senior to prejjare. We ob ;erved Leslie under fire.

But some strange fate seems to have saved her. In her Junior year, as a boarding student Peg certainly received her share of letters, especially bearing the ]iost mark Bi-rwick.

If at any time you should hai)pen to .see a slim youth with his hair combed back and wearing a short bow tie, coming up the hall with a short quick step you will know that it is Jay. Jay is recognized as being one of the motor type .so we often hear him saying odd things in classes before he thinks about what he shotiM say. Of cour.se this fact carries along with it another, the fact that he is energetic, ambitious. and full of fun. This makes him a very joll - companion and class-mate.

Just now much of her spare time is spent in knitting, and we are sure that .some .soldier boy, of more or less interest to her, will sometime be the recipient of many useful gifts. Rose is very fond of nuisic, especially that of the violin. We wonder why ? In our ojiinion, Ro.se will achieve an honor. 54 JOBITE Rl MARTHA HAGLMLYLR. Scranton mart S. H. S., Philo, Normal Course, Dav Student, THIS merry, laughing miss came to us from ' the Scrauton Central High School and en- tered our class in its Junior year. Mart is very talented, both in music and drawing, and she is also successful in Model School work. When asked what her aspirations for the fu- ture are, she replied : To get married, — but I suppose I ' ll teach school and end up in an Old Maid ' s Home. Never fear, Mart, while there ' s life, there ' s hope. If she laughs her way thru her future work, as she does thru everything else, we are sure she will meet with success. EDITH HAHN. Nanticoke Normal Course, Philo, Y. W. C. A., Track 2. P DITH joined our class in the latter part of its ' — ' second year when it was small in quantity but great in quality. She sings, and plays the piano very well and quite frequently entertained us in the rec room with her music. She is a very industrious girl, endeavoring to live uji to the oft-quoted standard of a number of our teachers: Work while you work and play while you play. We all like Edith and have found her a very jolly good hearted girl, and we give her our best wishes. 55 jcpiTEFLlS j c - sA I iQis I ANNA C. HARLLY, Wilkes-Barre anna CATHERINE St. Mary ' s H.

' The only time callers were not welcome was earh ' in the morning and Sunday afternoons. At these times Anna lived up to her motto. She was never known to have been .squelched by her hall teachers and Miss McBride s call Lights Out did not affect her. Her dramatic ability was great and her favor- ite selection was : I think I hear smoke and ihe pathos of it brings the tears to one ' s eyes Harley was also a photographer and the Sen- iors missed a rare opportnnit - v hen they failed to give her the contract for the class pictures. LLE, HARMANY, Bloomsbur LEE Philo, Philo President, Commercial Course, Junior Drama, Class Track Team (3), Day Student. I EE is the politician of our class. He entered — ' the class in the Junior year and since has worked very earnestly for it. He was a member of the Junior Drama cast and takes active inter- est in all class and society affairs. Lee owns a nice little Ford, but .says that some day he will have a Cole. We often wonder whether the Cole will be to ride in or ride with. How about it, Lee ? We all i)redict that his later life will be as suc- cessful and full of service as it has been at Nor- mal. OG [2B iKr gBigv,x r l 1 e 1 s.

She came to us in our Junior year and now that we know her bet- ter, we find that she is a jolly little jierson and alwa.NS ready for some fun. Altho we feel sure that Bertelle will be a suc- cessful teacher, we do not think that she will teach more than her allotted twenty years. In spite of her shy manner, Bertelle has won manv friends. DLWLY HARRIS, Bloomsburg B. H. S., Commercial, Philo, Day Student. p IiWEY, the boy with the winning smile, en- tered Normal in our Junior year. He took lip the Commercial Course and has since become one of the most efficient book-keepers and sten- ographers in the class. By his ]3nst and ])resent records we see that he is very jiartial to the name of Rachael or Rae. Is this not true, Dewe ' ? Paragorically speaking, he is by virtue one of the natural born automobilists of the class His father has been lately watching the speedometer of liis car and says that he must be traveling Miles. We all agree with his father. l0BITEKl, - r - 1 j leis 1 DOROTHY HARRISON. Larksville dot Iv. H. S., Callie, Y. V. C. A. p OT is one of our many real nice girls. ' - She is rather quiet at limes and is very industrious, but she also can enjoy a jolly good time with the rest of us. Her hearty laugh is always good to hear, and has often cheered others when they had the blues. Dot has been very successful in her teach- ing, and is very much interested in her work in spite of the fact that she was somewhat disap- pointed in not getting a special in plane geome- try. We wonder why she preferred such a diffi- cult subject. How about it, Dot ? Her classmates believe that she will be a real good teacher for a few years. RALPH HART, Nescopeck Normal Course, Philo Reunion President, Y. M. C. A. V. Pres., Asst. Bus. Mjjr. Obiter, Junior Drama, Scrub Foot Ball 4, DALPH is one of those fellows who is well adapted to fit in any line of work and carry it out successfully. Whether it be class, .society, or .school work he can always be re- lied upon to do his share. He has a sunny disposition which enables him to get along well with all, and to meet with favor as he goes about his work. Ralph floated down the Susquehanna river last year and entered b. S. N S. in our Jun- ior year. During this year he .showed a re- markable fondness for fruit, especially of the melon family. K;dpli is well known for his ability in de- bating, as was well shown in his society work. He has al.so ac(|uired cpiite a reputation for his ardent work at penmanshi]). The best wishes for success go with him. 5S GLNLVILVL C. HLALY, Pittston chum Pittston H. S., Normal Course, Pliilo, Faculty Honor.

N. vS. and it was not long until she had won the hearts of all who met her. ' Chum is noted for her great knitting ability and is ever ready to help the amateur. Another of Chum ' s characteristics worthy of honorable mention is her curiosity. Some persons believe in the old .saying : Nothing ventured nothing gained. Genevieve ' s slo- gan is : Nothing asked nothing learned. We love her for it and wherever she goes, may the good will of ' 18 precede and follow her. MARGARE.T MIRIAM HLNRIL, Millville hen Philo, Y.

S. pamphlets ? We w ' ll leave the answer for Hen. Hen is a very quiet, demure little maiden and has .spent most of her spare minutes in knitting for a ])articular soldier. I believe he is an Ensign ? How about it Hen ? We jiredict a ]irosperous future for Hen in the .school teaching line as long as the war continues. 59 [QBiTEKl , ss I leTS ! C. RUTH HLNRY, Tower City henry Normal Course, Pliilo, Y. W. C. A., Faculty Honor. DUTTI is the early ri=er of the school. Long before the other students are up one can hear her sailing thru the halls singing; finally she knocks at each door and arouses the sleepy inmate with : I can ' t get ' em up ; I can ' t get ' em up. What will the school do for a riser when Ruth goes ? Ruth is always in for a good time. She has an ever-present sense of humor. Her hobbies are being an old maid and having chafing dish feeds. For further information consult Miss McBride. Ruth has succeeded in making many friends at Normal and their good wishes will go with her as she leaves these halls for her ideal po- sition — an old maid school marm. WILLIAM HLNRIL, Danville bill ' Philo, Varsity Football 4, Commercial Course, Day Student. A BOY of varied experiences, strong on the • ' gridiron. Tells many yarns, filled with quaint expressions, of the way the team played. He is always the possessor of scrap. Of a genteel, ])ious disposition. Heady ? You bet. That is, considering the narrow margin reserved for study. The .secret — he has his troubles An- nalized. A staunch supporter of a more.string- ent cut system. Not a union man when he goes to sleep. His prominent social activities have permitted him to forget about his classes. When away from home he always starts out for a good time and adheres .strictly to that good adage : Be a sport, if it only la.sts a minute. GO {obiter, ] Mgfe w n leis I GRACL M.

We are thankful for this decision, for many times she has saved the class from disgrace in Trig. Grace is exceptionally quiet but always happy, her happiness being nude manifest by her smil- ing face and rosy cheeks When we leave Normal we will miss Grace but never forget her.

Florence has the honor of being the first pres- ident of the Girls ' Dormitory Club, where she has served very successfully and created enthu- siasm. She is one of the most fun-loving girls of our class. Everv bods ' knows it by her merry laugh- ter. Her smile and winning manner have won for her many friends during her Normal career. To balance this side of her character, we can say- that Florence is a wliiz in m ithematics, and also has a very deep disposition, as is shown by her affection for Still water Her favorite motto is : Still water runs deep. 61 lOBlTEKL ' I 1 e 1 s 1 LLLANOR HLTLLR. Bloomsburg B. H. S., Xornial Course. MISS Heller is one of our busy day students ' who came to us in our Junior year from Bloonisburg High School, from which she grad- uated in lyiG. Even tho Eleanor can be coni]iared in circum- ference to a bean pole, she is right there with the facts. She is one of our most studious girls and is one that can be depended on in class when the rest have eaten too much dinner. She doesn ' t have to be told as often as the rest to bob up serenely. Eleanor has no use for the opposite sex, there- fore we predict a great future for her along edu- cational lines. We can picture her twenty ye,.rs hence teaching the little German children Eng- lish. HARRIET HILL, Beach Haven Berwick High School, ' 14, L. W. H. National Training School, ' 15, Normal Course, Philo, Y. W. C. A. AFTER graduating at Berwick High School, ' ' • Harriet decided that Domestic Science would be her chosen profession, and so completed her course at L. W. H. National Training School, Washington, D. C. It was then she heard the call of B. S. N. S., and so entered the cla.ss of ' IS as a Junior. At fir.st glance Harriet would appear denuire and meek as a Puritan maid, but get her started on Lousy E ! and she ' ll never let up for a week. Harriet is a faithful friend, an Ernest stu- dent and a regular girl. At all hours of the day she may be found putting things in order for her chum, Rusty. In future life we wi.sh her success whether it be that of an Ernest teacher or an Ernest housekeeper. u 62 S sx rOmHI RLBLCCA HILL Hazleton rkba ' Hazleton H. S. , V. V. C. Normal Course, Vice Pres.

A. being a delegate to Eaglesmere in ' 17. How- ever, her earnest work does not stop with her Y. W. C. A. for we usually find her busy. If not writing poetry for the fourth floor it is helping plan some new escapade. Notwithstanding all her faults she is a dandy girl and we are sure of her success. MAX HOWLR, Bloomsburg Pliilo, Class Baseball 3, Class Basketball 3. Varsity Football 4, Normal Course. I-IE entered Normal in the Fall of 1IM(5, after ' comjileting his task at the High School. We all became somewhat better acquainted with Max when he a]ipeared on our football team. He sure did make .some showing, but he, being somewhat backward in his social ways, did not enjoy the afters of the game as did the other members of our team. He is not altogether to blame for this, however, be- cause he never before had an opportunity to have a good time, as he has always lived in Bloomsburg. 63 RUTH HUTTON, Bloomsburg B.

Ala KipHno;, that is quite another story Let it suffice that she docilely answers to the name of Mutt. ' ' Now Mutt was originally a modelite and consequently has been able to deal with naughty children with great ease and adroitness. A word about her accomplishments. Mutt ' is very modest and would hide her light, not under a bushel, but behind a demure exterior. She is quite talented with her pencil and looks forward to continuing her training in this; and then too she can sing. She sings surpassingly well. She possesses naturally a very good voice and has received .some training. .Vlutt is a hard worker, and hard work plus the talents she ])ossesses means success. MARGARLT JONES. Hamlin Ariel H.

She is interested in all phases of class work and is always on hand in society. You never .saw a busier girl than Margaret, still she is always willing to be busier. A little bird told me something interesting the other day. This is it He said that Margaret has a soldier boy somewhere in America. Now we understand why Margaret was .so anxious to learn to knit. Never mind, Margaret, every .stitch in a sol- dier ' s sweater is a poke in the Kai.ser ' s ribs 04 JOBITER.]; MURIEL JONL5. Audenried jonesy Hazleton H. S., Normal Course, Philo. Y. W. C. A. A little sleep, a little slumber A little closing of the eyes for sleep. lONESY likes to sleep, especially Sunday and Monday mornings, but that does not mean that she cannot be lively, for no livelier girl could be found. She is always ready for the fun. She likes vacations and has a liking for the Shore. But she has promised us she will teach two years at least. RE.MA JORDAN, Clark ' s Summit Normal Course, Callie, Y. W. C. A. DEMA is one of the noisy girls of our class. Because of the complaints of some of her schoolmates, as well as members of the faculty, she has had to he restricted by Miss McBride for disturbing the halls. Renin really isn ' t to blame, for her voice is naturally loud and rasping, but we overlook this as it is her only fault. She is alwavs busy, her favorite occupations being writing letters to her manj- correspondents and reading the stock of letters she receives with each mail. Rema is a hard worker and is considered a verv good student. Her mo lei school work has been very successful, and w predict that she will make an ideal school teacher. 65 ' - ■ I ■ III! littH li ' M ■III! I irlHlr ' ir • =?Jr :fhA. .JL._ , ' ■ ' i ssa..

Every night she can be found in one of her neighbor ' s rooms giving advice to the weary. When it conies to languages she shines ; she can translate German as well as Engli.sh. She is one of the wittiest giils in the class, but only her friends know her. Nell never tells her troubles to others but keeps them to herself. If you want any favors, visit her room and your errand will not be in vain. RUTH KAISLR, Llysburg Normal Course, Philo, Y. V. C. A., Class Basket Ball i. THE members of the Class of ' IS will always remember Ruth as one of the most cheerful girls of the school. As she goes about perform ing her many duties she has a smile for every one she meets. She has the reputation of being devoted to b.er .studies and stands very high scholasticallv. l .s- pecially does she excel in Latin. Her ability to translate Virgil is the envy of all the class, and she knows mythology ])erfectly. In addition to her .scholastic attainments Rtitli has found time to win .some distinction in athk tics, ha ing won out as center on the Second Year basket ball team. We all ])redict that Ruth will be succe.ssfu in whatever line of work she takes un. 66 KATHLRINE. M. KA5L. Riverside kitty Riverside High School, Philo, Y. W. C. A.

All her talent and skill does not lie in amusing, for she is a good student. CARRIL KLLN. Glen Lyon CARUSO Newport Twp. Central H. S., Normal Course, Philo, V. VV. C. A., Basketball 3. ARRIE, as her name suggests, is very keen in - ' her studies as well as in sports. Her great- est ambition is to teach school in the Golden West where she can learn to ride horseback and be a real western girl. Carrie is active in sports and won her B here by doing some very effective work. We all sincerely ho]ie that her ambitions will be gained. gi: . nrTeTsl IRLNL KLRSTLTTER.

She came to us in our Junior year from North- nmberland and has been ])roving herself a seeker after learning — especially arithmetic!?) Her special bent is toward mathematics and we feel sure she will go far in that line. If she decides to take up languages we are sure she will also be a shining light among dead languages. Her one diversion on Saturday nights seems to be her vaudeville shows. Irene is good in the role of a .six year old, and affords great amuse- ment for those she entertains.

He can tell you, on the minute, the .size of the farthest ])lanet by analogy to a shoe-button, or do anything else inconceivable without the aid of much imigiuation. Did he not bring to Normal a system of grading and averaging most useful in the Model School ? And do not the blessings of the lights of the Senior class rest on him for this ? Yea ! — all this is true ! One thing we do still hold against him, to wit: — he does, on sundry occasions speak in strange tongues. (VVe don ' t condemn him by saying Deutsch). Many scrapes with fool-liard - conductors, who attempt the molestation of innocent females, need no comment here. Comments have alreadj ' been given too freely. Does he shine ?

Altho he hails from the wilds of Moscow, he brot with him most civilized traits, among which are a splendid bass voice, and marked drama- tic ability. W ' e shall not soon forget him as the villain. Sir Geoffrey Pomfret, in Hearts- ease. Then, too, this lad o ' many parts, has had success in his school work, and we all ad- mire his resourcefulness and self control in recitations, and he ' s a shark at unexpected three-minute talks. J. Warren is a good work- er in the Y. M. C. A., and is always on hand wherever he is needed. We prophesy the best of things for J. Warren, but do not advise him to try publishing any new methods in Biology. 69 I I leis I GLRTRUDL KNOLL. Nanticoke GERT Philo, Normal Course, Vice Pres. Philo. « ERT entered B. vS. N.

Her mind is in Bloonisburg, but her heart is with a soldier. Tommy I believe is the dis- tinguished soldier. That solves the mystery of why she never had a case at B. S. N. S., but spends most of her time at the mailbox. Gert is a very good student and never fails to respond to the questions of her teachers, so we feel sure of her success in the future, no mat- ter what her life work shall be. HELEN KNOU5E.

I-IERE is a dark haired maiden, a faithful mem- ber of the Jolly Ten. She is a good friend, companion and fun maker, always read3 ' for a good time. But she never allows her good time to interfere with her studies as she devotes a great deal of her time to her les.sons. It is difficult to ])rophes - what Helen ' s future work will be, but whatever it is, our best wishes go with her for her success.

He is a good wood carver as well as a meat carver. Rus is the proud possessor of a collection of art. The walls of his room abound with photogra]ihs, but the ])eculiarity is that they all bear a striking resemblance to each other. Things equal to the same thing are equal to each other. We have always been glad to have him in our class and here ' s wishing you success, Rus, in whatever tasks vou undertake. J. FRLAR LAUDIG, Deseronto, Ontario, Can Medical Prep., Callie, Y. M. C. A. The unshed glories of his beamy hair ! THIS young man hailed from Canada and join- ed our class in its Junior year. He wishes to become a physician, and we are sure, from what we have seen in society programs, that he will at lea.st ook the pirt. In his first year with us he was ver unfortu- nate in losing his heart, but it was found by a certain dark haired maiden, who from all ap- pearances, cherished it carefully. He is always re id)- with an amusing. story and has become very popular among his .schoolmates. We jiredict for him a very successful future. HANNAH LAW, Bloomsburg B. H. S., Callie, Normal Covirse. I-IANNAH is a graduate of the Bloonisbiirt ' High School and came up on the hill with many others of her class-mates to cast her lot with us in our Junior year. Hannah is a li ing example of the fact that apjiearauces are deceiving for tho outwardly ou would take her for a sedate, dignified and industrious damosel, she possesses a suri)rismg amount of potential energy ; in other words she is quite pe]i]iery at times. Now tho Hannah always is accomjianied bj ' this most studious air, she sometimes forgets to study. On these occasions she takes advantage of her extreme slimness and escapes from the trusting Profs, by hiding behind her pencil. BERNARD LLACH, Shenandoah mike Slienandoah H.

Well, at the latest reports from the scene of activities, he was try- ing to perfect the seven classical laughs. At present he has mastered only five of them. Mike is proprietor of that hall of good fel lowship— 372. This is the social centre of third floor. He ' s a grrrind ! Don ' t misunderstand ; the only thing he ever ground was his teeth. Ks])ecially noted for his fine line. He could easily make you believe that he was ' IS ' s lead- ing .scholar, and a star in all athletic contests. Could you beat him ? Well, no ! Not at that. In all .seriousness, Mike Leach is one good fellow ; well liked by everyone. Whatever else he has done, tho, he ' ll be chiefl - remembered for his ability to escape demerits. j Q B I T E K | ' %,.. gi ' . ' 2l KATIL LLVAN, Newlin Normal Course, Callie Society, Y. W. C. A.

We find that she doesn ' t believe in keeping a new joke or good ]5rank locked up in her suitcase, but rather plays it on some modest girl and then laughs to see the sport. Ask her chum. Don ' t ask her if she passed her collection of bugs and butterflies because she doesn ' t know. Besides, its a minor detail anyway in her calling of life, for she ' s going to teach Do- mestic Science, which trait seems to have been a birthright. Seeing how briskly she glides hither and thither in this class we have reason to believe that she will feed her ' s truly on more than love and banana croquetts.

If you have you will know it ' s ' Lordie, and you wont forget her either. Or if you happen to be on third floor you will hear her say, Oh K-rid — then laugh, for you know her motto is laugh and grow fat. She lives up to it all right. This isn ' t all she does, for she can dance and play and is always ready to help out at any time and place It has been agreed by all that she is the cutest girl in school — and so she is.

ANY one hearing a voice raving : Isnt he ■ ' stunning, knows that Bee is again charmed by one of the opposite sex, and is just insane about him. Beatrice is a very romantic person, and Miss McBride making a tour of back campus, glanc- ing up to fourth floor, might often see Bee sitting in the window composing a moonlight letter to her soldier boy in Georgia. She is a very loquacious jierson-as a proof, the ligaments in her face were strained not so very long ago. Judging by her actions now Bee will not be an old maid .school marm. Her goal seems to be in quite a different direction. The best wishes of the class go with you for vour future success. ESTHER LUNDAHL, Ringtown Normal Course, Philo Society, Y. W. C. A. Here ' s Esther, we predict that she Will take this course, Biology. In some large college of our laud, She will lend a helping hand. This happy country lassie lives amidst the beauties of nature on a spot called Feolah Farm. No indeed, she wouldn ' t jump at the sight of a snake, or a mouse either. Ever eager to keep up to date, both in devices and new ideas in Model School work, she seems happiest when having her face turned toward some Practical Device for Teachers, and no one ever hears her say that books are dull. vo LLIZABLTH MACDONALD, Avoca BETTY ' Philo, Y.

She is one of our better students and is not nearly so frivolous as most of us are. Appearances are sometimes deceiving —that stay-away from-me-look on her face conceals one of the truest smiles ever conceived, and serves as the scenery for a voice and words of a most sw eet and pleasing nature. Betty is another of the fair members of our class, and her beautiful black eyes have made many a conquest, much to her dismay, as her ideal has not yet been found. We expect great things from Betty. LAURA M. MAU5T, Jerseytown Commercial Course, Day Student. I AURA, a graduate of the Jer.se town High School, became a member of our Class in the Fall of 1916, joining it in its Junior year. Though coming from down town, she is rarely ever late fo ' r classes in the morning, but then the Berwick mail is not here that early in the morn- ing. Laura has been very succes.sful in all her school activities, and we have every reason to believe she will make a great success in government work, for which she is now preparing. She has a wide circle of friends who wish her the best of luck in the future. tQBITER.| V), p afld i sx rXnUKI ALICE MARTIN, Mahanoy City Mahanoy City H. S. , Normal Course, Philo. AI ICEisone of our ver} ' dignified members. She is a lover of music and displayed her ability in this line many evenings for us, both in the rec and the gym. Alice does not believe in bothering with the fellows while at Normal School. We wonder why ? Perhaps her thots are with Leroy at Carnegie Tech. She wishes to become a teacher in her own home town, but for how long we cannot say. KATHARINE McFADDLN, Hazleton MIC St. Gabriel ' s H. S., Normal Course, Philo. « |IC is one of the members of the Hazleton ' ' quartet. After many discussions as to how to pronounce Mc, we will have to let the reader choose for him.self. Katharine is a great reader, both of library hooks and of letters from a certain young man also living in Hazleton. She is a girl who is never in a hurry but always has everything done on time. We predict great suc- cess for her in her teaching career. ANNA A. McKE.ON. Wilkes-Barre chune St. Mary ' s H. S., Pliilo, Normal Course. A NNA came to Normal fresh from St Mary ' s. She spent her first j-ear in North Hall but the wiles of fourth floor were so strong that in lier Senior year she joined the other members of the Brigade. Like her chum Harley, she believes in all work and no play. (?) As a Nature Study teacher Anna excels, and .she never could be cla.ssed as a tail-ender or flunk. Continue as you have begun, Anna, and bring fame to ' 1 8. ANNA McLANL, Scranton Central H. S., Normal Course, Philo. TOBODY ever reported Anna for being noisy during study hour, nor of having her light on after ten. She studies when others are making noi.se and we can easily see the result of her labor, for Anna always responds brilliantly in class when all others have failed. She loves her Model School work, and her ef- forts here jiredict a splendid future along the lines of pedagogy. i 1 Q s i MARY M. McMANUS. Locust Gap Mt. Carniel, H. S., Normal Course, Philo. MARY was one of tlie quiet girls of our class. But then she hails from Locust Gap, the quietest ]ilace in the country. It was our Mary that put Locust Gap on the map by her hard work and good reputation as a student. She was one of the noted Birds of Para- dise, because we spent manj evenings Hsten- inqr to Mary practicing her vocal music for Model School. Her fondness for Leaches was marked dur- ing her Normal School career. Here ' s success to Marv. EDITH MLDO, Newport Township N. T. H. S., Normal Course, I ' hilo. T HE oidy time Edith is heard from is when she is in class, and then she surely does credit to Newport Township. She is usually found in her own room or in the library on a .Monday morn- ing working as if she had but one day left. How- ever she does not look at all over-worked, in fact quite the opposite. Do not think, dear reader, that Edith is always poring over her ledger, for she was never known to miss a feed or a go d time in the gym Teaching and she are the best of friends, and we are sure she will ujihold her cause. tOBlTEK} ,., ! MARY MLLHAN, Hazleton St. GabriL-l ' s H. S., Normal Course, Philo. A FTER beino; graduated as valedictorian of her ' high school class, Mary entered Normal. While here she has kept up her good work and has never been known to fail when called on to recite When in doubt ask Mary Meehan has become quite a slogan among fourth floor girls. We sometimes wonder if she talks in her sleep, she does so much of it during the day. Some day we expect to see Mary teaching Ger- man in one of the large colleges. GLNLVILVL MLLAN, Wilkes-Barre gen ' Pliilo. Xornial Course. EN is a sweet, modest girl with dark hair - and e es which are very attractive. Slang expressions are very disjjleasing to her, esjiec- ially the one favorite among her comi)inions : Oh my Hart ! She is a h ippy, care free girl, but is also very studious at times It is evident that she has been accustomed to late hours, as she begins to think of vi itiiig just as the ten o ' clock bell rings. She jiracticed this bad hai)it during her stay at North Hall, but things have changed now tha t she is living near Miss Mc- Bride. We ])rophesy for ' Gen, not the monotonous life of an old maid .school niarm but rather the mistress of a co .v home all her own. 80 LLA MLRKLF,. Roaring Creek Normal Course. I ICA says she comes from Roaring Creek. It — ' must he a ver ' noisy place, altho we can ' t sa - that she shows any evidence of it. She is a very studious girl, and should he com- mended in that she travels each morning a dis- tance of fourteen miles to school. We find in getting better acquainted with Lea that she is very witty, and it is hard to find her equal in wim, wigor, and witality. She is very fond of Public Speaking and has frequently been heard using this remark: I wonder if my selection is suitable for Saturday ' . hat does she mean ? After Lea has devoted several years to the work of teaching, it is her desire to take a trip across the continent. May the realization of her dreams come true. RACHEL MILES, Kingston rae Kingston High School, Normal Course, I ' hilo, Magee Contest 3, Y. V, C. . . D AE was a very welcome member to our cla.ss because she came from the town of the Semi- nary to our ranks. She did not like it here at first, but after she became acquainted she took a great intere.st in all the affairs of the School. She has been a faithful worker in the Y W. C. A. and, as one of the contestants in the Magee Con- test in Junior year, won a prize. Rae has very dark hair and dark eyes — in all a very winning lass, and a special favorite of the young gentlemen. We all wish Rae the greatest success in the future. , i m ' 1 1 fjl ' V 1 {-•x- .: — aiSL — . Ml t J 81 lOBlTEF I, - W - -sV CLYDE MILLLR, Bloomsburg soldier Callie, Normal Course, Day Student.

Miller, philosopher and good fellow, has kept his light shining as scholar and automobilist in darkest nights of .study. He achieved distinction in a critical and show me class by proving that busine.ss should be mixed with pleasure ; that good goods are not always done u]) in small ])ackages. Keep sweet is his favorite motto. Dave ' s first hard job was in cement. He h;is. although perhaps iuicon.sciousl -, been cementing ever since : facts, fancies and friendships. 82 toBlTER.} BLANCHE MOORL. Berwick Normal Course, Philo, Philo Drama 3, Day Student. R LANCHE came to Noimal in ' Ul from Ber- - wick High, and never did a more demure lassie enter its portals. Demure, except her eyes. Eh, boys ? The charm of Blanche ' s eyes led to the undo- ing of more than one boy ' s studies. Blanche ' s early training on the farm fotind expression in Model School. The children cer- tainly received first-hand knowledge, and not book larnin ' , when it came to farms. It is really impo.ssible to .say whether or not teaching .school is her one ambition. We doubt it. It is more probable that in a year or SI Blanche will be s ' tting acro.ss the table from — oil ! it wouldn ' t be fair to tell. LLIZABLTH MOYLL, Plymouth BETH ' Callie, V. W. C. A , Normal Course. Lighthearted and content, I pass my days at Normal. RETH is one of the many cheerful girls at old Normal. Don ' t worry seems to be her motto. However, there was one time dur- ing her stay at Normal, when .she was real .se- rious. One Sunday, for reasons all her own. she did not go to church, and as usual, she was dis- covered. By some unknown means it was dis- covered that she didn ' t know all of the Com inandments. As a punishment she was told tn learn them and recite them, not to the minister, but to Miss McBride. No wonder you w re .se- rious, Beth ! Her many friends at school wish her success and continued hap])iness in future years. toBlTEt l. MARY MULLEN, Honesdale Normal Course, Callie. [ARY entered our class in the first year and ' ■ ' has always been a faithful member. She takes a great interest in all the undertakings of the class, and attends the meetings regu- larly. She is always busy. One may find her hur- rying thru the halls to attend some committee meeting or get up a feed. Parties are her sjiecialtv, and she is frequently the hostess of a merry gathering. Mary usually succeeds in all her undertak- ings, and her cla.ss mates wish her the best of success thru all her life. JAM Lb MU6GKAVL, Sterling JIMMY .SterliriK H. S., Callie President (4), Y.

That says vol- • nines for the knowing one ; Facultv, etc. His .sister was one of Normal ' .s ' Ki girls, but alas ! and unfortunately for the Miisgrav ; family, she de]5arted ere small brother James arrived ; he had to paddle his own canoe. Jimmy is most extraordinarily fond of secret .societies. He joined the Ca.sers ' Clui) ' when a child, and has ever been a faithful member. When all else failed, he joined tlu ' Hash Slinger ' s Union. His .school activity ' can be measured by thosj lines under his name ; one of our best Callies ; an active B. D. C. man ; and always inter- ested in athletics. He ' s a teacher after Miss Mover ' s own heart. Bound to be successful. 84 JOBITER.L i 1 - I GRACE. NICHOLSON, Jermyn Normal Course, Pliilo. Y. W. C. A., Eaglesmere Conference. UAVING decided to increase her already great ' ' fund of knowledge, Grace decided to enter B. S. N. S., and she joined us in the Fall of 1916 as a Junior. She is one of our quiet .girls, but is alvvaj ' S scat- tering smiles and goodwill where ever she goes. Grace is the real songster of all the Birds of Paradise. One day we expect to hear of her as a famous singer. She has taken an ' active part in Y. W. C. A. work while at Normal, and was among the lucky number to be chosen as delegate for the Eagles- mere conference. Grace is an earnest student, and we feel sure that she will be successful as a teacher. MARTHA O ' BRILN, Benton Benton High School, Normal Course. She has common sense in a way that ' s uncommon. IS there anyone who doesn ' t know Martha ? Let us introduce you to her. She ' s a dark haired, sober, yet jolly girl. She is also quite dignified and business like. We find her especially interested in the Bio- logical Department. Her greatest difficulty is making the Professor estimate correctly the value of her Seehear-write notes. Nothing less than a stick of dynamite would rouse her from her calm repose, unle.-;s it were a certain Billie of whom we hear and see but little. Go on sweet maid, our best wishes go with vou for a successful career. 85 i J-Qis I MARY REBECCA ORNDORE Danville rhilo, Y. W. C. A., Normal Course, May Day, Midsummer Night ' s Dream.

Four years have been and gone and now Mary is a teacher. f Wonder for how long? ) When she finst came she was so diminutive that she could not go home alone, but now INIiss McBride is not afraid of Mary ' s being lost in a trolley car. Her original habitat was Danville, but a desire to improve her mind drew her hither and witness the results : — A small dark-eyed teacher is holding her class of 2iS boys in open-mouthed attention by sheer force of personalitj ' (and a surplus of good looks.) J. CLAIRE PATTERSON, Orangeville pat Callie, Class Baseball 2-3, Normal Course. B. D. C, Y. M. C. A., Class Basketball 2-3-4. kOAT graduated from his home high .school and entered our class in its So])homore year. For two years he was a day .student until this fall when he decided to make Nor- mal his place of abode. Pat is one of those fellows who has plen- ty of reserve or dignity, but when appropriate is as full of fun as one could wish. He is of a determined turn of mind as is shown bv the fact that occa.sionally he makes uj) his mind to spend the evening down town, regardless of hall teachers. When it comes to class work he is not to be overlooked. In fact he ranks among the very be.st students. He is always a willing worker in class or society work. Due to his having been a day student he had little time for athletics, but now his hope is to become a basket ball star. Well Pat, the best wishes of the class are with you as you go out from B. S.

MOW we come to the instigator of all the crim es ever committed at Normal. Pecky is a friend to everybody and a truer, dearer friend can not be found in B. S. N. S. She is quite noted for her laugh which can be heard most any time from (J:l ) when she drowns out the riser to after lights out when the wrath of the hall teachers falls upon her head. vShe has never been heard to complain, even about the weather. When the rest of us are tearing out a veritable Hymn of Hate about a thermometer which registers 20° below, she calmly thinks of the time when she will be hot- ter (Hodder). She will be a teacher until the war ends and then But it will happen in the best of families ! HAROLD PLGG. Buckhorn. PEGGIE Normal Course, Day Student, Callie. p 0 you know this fellow ? I thought not. He - is quiet and backward, and hard to get ac- quainted with His friends hope that a busy career in school teaching will give him more self- confidence. He comes and goes to all classes, as do all Buckhorn boys, and he is without a doubt, a model student. His home is in a deep hollow about two miles back of Buckhorn, where it is said Washington Irving got his ideas for his Legend of Sleejiy Hollow, although we can hardly think Peggie was Ichahod Crane. It sure is a sleepy place, and Peggy has never yet learned the art of rough-housing, but he sure can make noi.ses on a corn stalk, up in that hol- low, which sound to us like the roar of the ocean, and the echoes from it recall the days of the Civil War. But ])Uttiiig all jokes aside Peggie has the best wishes of his fellow class mates for a very bright future. 87 MARIAN L. PHILLIPS. Bioomsburg Pliilo, Normal Course. Day Student. ]V|ARIAN, betterknown a.s Marny, or Phil, ' ' came to Normal from the bloonisbnrg High School, and the following fall found her among the hundreds at Normal. Becau.se of illness she was obliged to leave school. Having regained her health, she is now a welcome member of our class. Marny is talented in artistic lines. Her especial hobb seems to be that of exhibition dancing, in which, it is said, she is very proficient. In the future, whether she be a school teacher, artist, or under.study to Mrs. Vernon Castle, we are sure she will meet with success. DOROTHY POLLOCK, Hazleton dot Hazleton H.

H you ever want to take a long walk and every one else is too tired to go so far, or can ' t walk such a distance, ask Dot and she will be ready to go along. Drawing is her favorite occupation. It is play for her. Some day you will see .some of her pict- ures in the great museums, and hear her name mentioned among those of famous artists. 88 )OBlTER.i  , gri : 1 leia I M1LE.5 POLLOCK.

He is especially noted for his famous yell, heard from a back campus window in the shades of night. Miles is one of the honorary members of our class, having joined it in the embryo stage. He abounds with cla.ss spirit, which shows itself in the class meetings, as well as in athletics. Who is Pollock ' s latest case? is a question often heard asked. Won ' t they stick, Miles? We are sure Miles will make a hit in life. One thing we know — that is — we send him away from here with less chlorophyl matter in his pos- session than when he came. RUTH POPL.

Appearances are deceitful and altho Pope looks awfully serious, she is one of the jolly fun makers of Alpha Hall.

YOU must look twice to see this little midget, for she never makes a uoise except when she pulls an immense grade in an exam. Still water runsdeepest, and good goods is done up in small packages. Both sayings suit this little Miss to a T. Mary entered the class of ' IS in its second year and has been one of the props of the class ever since. She takes her place in all school activi- ties and always does her duty Her greatest duty is looking after her chum and serving as a memorandum for her. Lately we have noticed she is very much interested in a certain member of our class, who bears a some- what unpronounceable German name. The in- terest is mutual. Mary will make good anywhere, and we are more than glad to say she was a member of the Class of ' 18. 5. LLIZABLTH PROBLRT, Hazleton Hazleton H. S., Normal Course, Philo, Y. W. C.

To keep the light burning after ten o ' clock was not one of Elizabeth ' s faults. Elizabeth is the music master of the fourth floor, and is known by her poetry which has been written to a certain Faculty member. She is a good sport, and we like her. 90 lOBITE K.l_ ' ' :: . grf BE.ATRICL LVAN5 PUR5LL Danville •be nanville High School, Philo, Y. W, Normal Course. C. A.

She is also a very quiet little lass, but when one once learns to know her they have found a warm and true friend, and one not easily forgotten. She may be found almost anytime working in Model School, for that is her delight. We have ]iictured her in a few ' ears as one of the leading instructors in kindergarten work. We all hope her success will be attained this way. FANNiL RARIG, Numidia Y. W. C. ., Normal Course, Callie. P VEN before we see her smiling face and greet - her ever- ready- welcome, we know it is she by tho.se loud rip|iles of laughter.

She ' ll climb the ladder up to fame, Tho ' small, she ' ll rea?h it just the same. i HEN Mary first came to school it was not ' an uncommon thing to find her lost amidst the busy throng. She has now taken up the serious aspects of life and is busy solving Physics problems and pedagogical facts. We can well picture her as traveling along the country roadside gathering the modest little flowers, for she is truly a hunter of the beauti- ful. In class Mary possesses all the dignity you can imagine, but when cla. ' ses are over, Mary is al- ways ready for a good time. MAINL RICHARDSON, Mahanoy City Philo, Y. W. C. A., Normal Course.

Then, too, .she is quite a songster, and also has plenty to say on any sub- ject that is broached, from the Revolt of Abso- lutism in the 18th century to the latest stitch in knitting. So you see, she is always busy, but never too rushed to help and cheer. No jollier or truer- hearted girl can be found than Mary, as all in the MS class will testify. We feel that we cannot conscientiou.sly let this oijport unity pass by without giving you a few pouits concerning the narrow escape our Mary had last .spring from life- long disgrace. We will omit all grewsome details, and it will suffice to say thit the lady in discussion knows all about being fished out from under a bed at the hob- goblin hour of twelve. We are happy to add that all turned out well, and we each breathed a sigh of relief. Where, oh, where is sweet Mary ? Rec. rjom, campus or gym ?

Bruce has one la ' ge attraction which requires his attention thrice diily, and his thuts once, i. e. all the time. We snrmi.se that his countenance and the foot ball insignia which usually adorns his chest are responsible for the hypnotic influ- ence which he apparently exerts over his fair — Muriel. The strange part about Bruce and the thing we cannot understand is why he cho.se to become a country .school teacher. The long vacations undoubtedly attracted him to this profession No, no, do not misunderstand. Bruce is not a bit lazy, but just the opposite. He is v ' ery care- ful not to let his studies interfere with the more important things of life, altho, as we all know, they each get their allotment of time, esi ecially German, the subject most dear to his heart. In all school affairs, both class and society, Bruce is always on the job, giving each his little bit. His future is assured because of the bright outlook which he has in view.

S. , Normal Course, Day btudent. 7 OLA, one of the dail}- suburbanites, arrives on the S. B. B. (Sores, Bumps and Bruises, or Sweet Bye and Bye) every morning. She has been faithful in her attendance for two years, and we ' ll say she has iiluck. She is one of the prettiest and sweetest girls in the class. This fact does not detract her at- tention from her studies in the least. She will make our class famous even if she has been known to make as low as 97 in Physics. She graduated from High School with first honors, and we feel sure will perform a similar stunt here. Come what will, Zola has the best wishes of ' IS. MADOLYN 5. SMOYLR, Bloomsburg nance Commercial Course, Day Student. TANCE entered our class in the Fall of 191(5, taking up the Commercial work. She pro- gressed ra))idly and the following year accepted a position in the Government Service at Wash- ington, D. C. You may think Nance is ba.shful, but she is not. She is quite capable of taking her own part. During the time she spent with the class she won a wide circle of friends. Nance is her name, Ty])ewritiug is her fame, But she is an ' 18 Just the same. 98 {obiter.) i Qis I FRLDA B. 5NYDLR, Dallas freck. Normal Course, Vice President Callie 4. Y. VV. C. A.

She lives on Paradise, and like all those who have lived there, is alwaj-s ready for some fnn. She has become very popular among her schoolmates, probably because she possesses such a Gay disposition. Freck is very fond of all out-door games, especially foot ball games played with Mansfield. We wonder why ? As a teacher and a student in Physics, she has distinguished herself, and in the future we ex- pect to see her teaching Physics in some up-to- date High School. F.

A kind and syin])athetic girl who is alwa s ready to help her friends, esijecially if they arc in trouble about History of Ed. Speary is one of our noted songsters, her fa- vorite melody being Good bye My Hero . We all wonder why she likes this song so well. Can it be that she just has a liking for it, or is there a reason ? Her greatest amlntion is to become a Primary school teacher, which we sincerely hope she will attain. 99 r kJf KATHRYN MORTIMLR 5PLNCLR Mahanoy City kitty. Philo, Normal Course. What .stature is she made of ? Just as high as my heart. IZATHRYN graduated from the Mahanoy City ' ■ High School in 191(5, and entered Normal as a Junior in the fall of the same year. Kitty is one of the fair members of our class. She has gained quite a reputation as a heart- breaker, and her success is partly due to her beautiful brown eyes which she can use to good advantage. She has the fine gift of kidding, and usually can be .seen on the campus trying out this art on some of the boj ' S. Kitty is a lover of music and is especially fond of the compositions of Wagner. Her ambition is to be a librarian, but the way matters look now, this ambition will soon give place to another. RLUBLN 5TLVLN5, Madisonville STEVE. Norinal Coiirse, Callie, Assistant Editor of Obiter, Class Base Rail 3, Scrub Foot Ball 3, Varsity 4, Junior Drama, Y. M. C. A. 3, 4, Cabinet 4, B. D. C, President Callie. CRESH from a farm in Wayne County, Steve entered our class in its Sophomore year. Since that time he has well earned the reputation of being one of the most influential and respected members of the class. We find that he has taken an active part in almost every phase of school activity. As a student he ranks high. In athletics he proved the value of a year ' s training on the scrubs by making Varsity foot ball this .season. In Y. M. C. A. work his ability is shown by the fact that he is a member of the Cabinet. When it comes to society wurk we find him to be a faithful member upon whom it can always be de- pended to accomplish a given task. In view of what his record has been at Blooms- burg, we cannot but believe that Steve will become highly successful as a teacher. 100 lOBlTER.], 1 1 leis 1 -- ' )K [ jp k 1 ' ' ■mt- T ' ! p- I HLLLN 5TROH, Bloomsburg Philo, Normal Course, Daj- Student. UELEN came to us from the Bloomsburg High School, and entered our class in its Junior year. Ever since her arrival she has been a most earnest and interested member both of the class and Philo. Helen seemed to be especially popular in the Model School where she spent most of her time. She liked the children, and they certainly liked her. Here ' s hoping, Helen, that you may have a bright future. FRANCES R. 5WLLNLY. Scranton Central H. S. ' 16, Normal Course, Philo. I-jER baby face and beautiful smile are enough to make anyone forget their troubles. Frances has a very musical voice and her laugh- ter ju.st rip]5les like water. She is small in stature, but never allows this fact to interfere with her success as a teacher. She is a lover of fun and always ready to laugh and be merry, providing it does not interfere too .seriously with lier studies. Happiness shines thru a jiair of bright eyes. She excels in the line of sciences, esjiecially Domestic Art and Domestic Science. Our heartiest wishes for a prosperous future go with you, Frances. 101 HLLLN G. SYPNILWSKI, Nanticoke N. H. S., Normal Course, Pliilo. THIvS is Helen, a happy-go-lucky miss. She ' came here in I ' JIG after graduating from Nanticoke High. Helen is noted for her generosity. She loves to crochet and knit — never for herself, always for others. Her constant chum is Gert, and you never see one without the other. Helen brot with her a difficult name to pro- nounce, at least the faculty thot so. But Helen can be heard singing thru the halls this song to the tune of Mississippi S-y-p- n-i-e- w-s-k-i- It used to be so hard for me, It used to make me cry. This is one of the methods Helen uses in teaching others the pronunciation of her name. The Bloom- State game surely had Helen ex- cited. Wonder why ? Helen is fond of her chosen profession, and we all wish her much succe,ss. MARTHA TAYLOR, Bloomsburg mart ' B. H. S., Philo, Normal Course, Day Student. IVjART was graduated from the Bloomsburg High School in r.Ufi, and the next fall found her among the hundreds in the halls of Normal. While here she has been a most dili- gent and capable student. She has presented every appearance of a scholar. In her Model School work she was always well prepared and was well liked by all of her pupils. We are sure that if all of her future work is done in this manner, her prospects of success are very bright. 102 ;oBiTEaj,-s,..r- BEATRICE TOSH, Wilkes-Barre BEA. Hanover Township High School, Normal Course, Philo. TRUE to her name, Beatrice is as busy and as happy as a bee. Ever wilHng to help some- one at any time, she has made many friends, both girls and boys, during her school daj-s here. Beatrice is well liked by her kiddies in Model School, and we know that she will have the best of success in her profession. We fear, tho, that teaching will not be her aim for many years, for it is rumored that she is extremely fond of the little song, In School Days, and especially the last line, and there is a very good reason. LEANORA NELSON WALKER, Northumberland awkie. Normal Course, Philo, Y. W. C. A. « A WKIE is a shining light for any benighted ' Junior to follow. Ihr work is always done and her advice is ' ' Get your work in on time. Her accomplishments vary— she can play and dance and sew and cook (for the latter two see Miss Mitchell) and she is thorough in every thing. At present her dreams all lead toward Physical Culture teaching, but we think she is an ideal primary grade teacher, since she is especially strong in discipline. (Ask certain Modelites. ) But in any case we are sure of her success. :a ' 103 LLNA WALTON, Berwick Music Department, Day Student. I EN A graduated from Berwick High in ' 16.

Many a time have we folks in library at 11:15 been tempted to put away our book.s and listen to the wonderful harmoni es coming up from the studio of Mrs. Miller. There ' s a winsome smile that sometimes .shows itself and foretells of the pleasant time, if you are in this fair lady ' s graces. Her sole ambition is to teach music, but we hope it to be teaching in more than the ordinary fashion. From her confidences we are led to be- lieve her place in the world a great one. MRS. MARGUERITE M. WATROU5, 5cranton MRS. WATRESS Callie, Normal Course. DEFORE entering B. S. N. S. Mrs. Watrous ' -- was a graduate of Wyoming Seminary and a teacher in the schools of Wyoming County for seven years. Thinking that her profession as a teacher was not yet completed, she decided to spend three years within the walls of dear old Normal. During the entire three years Mrs. Watrous has been a faithful student and a member of ' 18. We as a class are proud to have her among us, and know that her life work will prove as trust- worthy as she has during her life at Normal. Mrs. Watrous has always joined in the sjiirit of the school, often under great inconvenience to her.self. Mrs. Watrous, you have the wishes of the en- tire class for your f ut ure success. 104 RUTH M. WLLKLR, Shamokin snooks Normal Course, Y. W. C. A., I ' hilo, Faculty Honor.

THE smoky city of Shamokin sent us this ' lass from the 191(3 class. Ruth brot with her the excellent record of never having missed a day of school in her life, which fact probably accounts for her abundance of knowledge. Ruth is a poet of some note as is shown by the verses she composes. Her one ambition is to star in the editorial line. Bit in teach- ing .she has proved a great success, and next year we are sure she will find her place in the kindergarden department of some first class school. CARMAN 5. WLLLIVE.R.

He promises to be one of our promising men in the fut ure. Dan- ville should be proud of Carman. 105 MIRIAM WLLLIVER. Bloomsburg Normal Course, Tliilo. [IRIAM is one of our duvvn town girls who ' has spent her school life in the Normal. Ask her what it is to change teachers so often, and also if she ever tried to make the teachers cross. Miriam is one of our good natured girls who always sees the bright side of things, and always has a smile ready for everyone. Miss Welliver is one of our talented members along artistic lines. Some of her drawings were made while she was supposed to be gaining knowledge from her learned instructors, but jilease don ' t tell anyone. We predict a great fu- ture for her along those lines. MILROY WLRTMAN, Bloomsburg Normal Course, Philo. A dark haired, bright eyed, broad shouldered person is Mike . He has a good heart and a genial disposition.

During Callie Reunion this year Stewart was president, and thru his hard efforts helped to make it a decided success. LDWINA C. WILLAND.

AFTICR reading the above list of achievements, ■ ' ou may be sure that Edwina has not been idle since she joined our ranks. Starry-eyed and happy, she has done her bit and more, cheerfully and successfully. An eirnest Y. W. C. A. worker, talented in dramatic lines, a good fellow in athletics, an exceptional writer of letters two miles long — a real friend — all these can be put to her credit. Altl o n uially sedate and altogether proper, we cannot re rain from whispering that Edwina is far frc m lacking in the eternal feminine, and has a wilful custom of arranging the pictures of her victims artistically on wall and table. But with it all, we can truly say that Edwina is sweet and splendid and good, and we cannot put a goal too high for her to attain. 107 CORA DOUGLAS WILCOX. West Nanticoke WILLIE Callie, Y. W. C. A., Normal Course, Basket Ball 3. OMENIUS says: We learn to do by doing — Cora says: ' ' We learn to do by letting others do. Sounds logical, how ? Fact of the matter is, Willie has so much gray matter for so small an individual, that while others are going thru nerve-racking Physics problems, or some- thing equally as distracting, Cora has time for a long rest. As one of the team, she can compete with any one. Have you ever heard her singing at about 9:-45 P. Q ? We have a vague suspicion that Willie contem])lates taking up vocal music— of course, this is only a vague sus- picion, understand. For further information ask her. Willie ' s highest aspiration is to be as- sistant to Miss Schools. If both parties are agreed, Willie, you have our best wishes. JANL N. WILLIAMS. Edwardsville Edwardsville H. S.

A glance at Jane would leave an impression of ' ■ a very quiet girl, but a visit to Paradise would soon change such an opinion. She is the sweetest of all girls and a picture of innocence. Jane is always game for a merry lark, but always attends to business. She is very ambitious and is an active worker in the Y. W. C. A. and is al- ways ready to help one in need. She is alwa3 ' s worrying over her les.sons, but generally knows them. Jane is talenttd in the musical line, but does not dis])]ay her ability. We are sure her future as a .school teacher will be a success, for she is interested in her work and overcomes all obstacles. 108 IDA WILSON. Bloomsburg Philo, Philo Drama 4, Junior Drama, B. B. 2, Normal Course. She would talk ! Ye Gods ! How she would talk ! IDA is a person who beautifully illustrates the above quotation. But she is distinctly orig- inal in that she generally has something to say. She is famous for her stentorian tones. You can hear her coming four blocks away, and when you hear it struck me funny come hurtling over the house-tops you may know she is at it again. Ida is one of those firm and decisive young women who make life miserable for the sluggard. If there is something to be accomplished, trust Ida. Her methods are speedy, not always with- out pain, but unfailingly thorogoing. It is per- fectly evident that her motto is: Where there is a will there is a way. GRLTCHEN WINTLE.

For two ye;irs our football team has been ma- terially strenj. thened and aided by the pluck and sticktoitivene. s of this unflinching chap. Since becoming a member of the class of 1918 he has taken an active part in all society and class work. After having seen Wolfe as Eric Temple in Heartsease, and as F ' erdinand ' in The Tem])est, we predict for our friend Charles a very brilliant future behind the footlights. Go to it, Wolfe, we wish you luck. 110 (obiter.]; I I leia ] H. DANA YOUNG. Plymouth bill Plymouth H. S., Norinil, Manual Traiuiiin Course, Business Manager Obiter, I ' liilj, Y. M. C.

He belongs in class one as a .student, and his class work runs very high. The projects which Bill has made in the Manual Training Department show some of the best wood work ever turned out here, due to his practical experience. We would advise you not to go in Room o57 after 10 p. m., because Bill has the habit of getting the Night Mare, especially if some visitor is present. It takes him and his chum to chase them over the halls in the wee morning hours. While Bill has been true to old Normal he has also been true to a Cook since his abode here. He says above all other things always look for a good Cook and we are almost sure that Bill has found his Cook for life. Bill is very fond of nature, and at daybreak Monday mornings he and his chum, Witchey, are to be found digging fish worms at Snyder ' s Run, after which they can be seen walking across the campus. Bill carrying their trusty fish-poles, while Witch totes along after with a large basket full of eats, bound for Arbutus Park. We believe they do most of the biting. EDWARD YOST.

As we di]j into the Book of Memory, we can see with refreshing vividness, the smiles and greetings of the faculty and upper classmen as they welcomed us within the stately portals of B. S. N. S. At first the number of members was limited. The first meeting was called with only thirty members present, and elected the following officers : John Hodder, President. Dorothy Kevser, Vice President. M. KioN P. DDON, Secretary. Dav ' iu W. Z. hner, Treasurer. The class as a whole distinguished itself very creditably in school activities thruout the year. We were represented by diss basket ball and base ball teams, and e.Kcellent work was done in the athletic li.ie. In the fall of 191(5 a few of our classmites did not return, but their places were filled by new .students, and many ad litional members joined our ranks. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year : Ronald E. Kehler, President. Mi ' RiE ' , A. Griffiths, Vice President. Mary K. William. ' ;, Secretary. D.wiD W. Zahner, Treasurer. All the members of the class continued to hold the high standard established by them in 1915, both in school work and athletics. We were represented on the gridiron by Foster, Fought, Dormack, Leonard and McDonald. In the indoor track meet iii 191(3, we captured second place, and we were also represented by class basket and base ball teams. At the beginning of this y ar the following officers were elected: George Bednark. President. Mkry Williams, Vice President. Alva Seltzer, Secretary. J. Adrian Collier, Treasurer. Our representation on the gridiron this year included: Asa Kirkhoflf, Wesley Davis, Walter Dorm.ick, Ronald Kehler, and Harry Leonard. 117 Excellent spirit has been shown this year in athletics. Both girls ' and boys ' basket ball teams are doing very good work. Our work so far this year has been zealously undertaken, and we hope that we shall be governed by the past, which has been successful, for the performance of our duty in the future. Several of our classmates have already answered Uncle Sam ' s call, and have gone to do their bit, whether it be at home or over there, to help make dem- ocracy safe for us at home. It behooves us who remain to show our loyalty, also, by standing back of those who have gone, in the just pursuit of our duty toward ourselves and our country. 118 {qbiterTJ ' §m} I leis 11 ►J w « o a. o Sophomores Thomas Laughlin, President. Anna M. Davis, Vice President. Laura Shaefek, Secretary. Karl Berger, Treasurer. JT is quite difficult to chronicle the events which happen to a Sophomore class |l during the two years of its life. We could give a history which would V not be correct, and out of place. The first great epoch of a school child ' s career, is his graduation from the Grammar grades. When he has accomplished this, the first milestone of his journey thru life has been pa.ssed. So, in June, 1917, a band of these pilgrim students passed their first mile- stone, their freshman 3 ' ear, and in the fall entered into their Sophomore year, many having fallen by the wayside. As usual, the class when entering the first year, was somewhat green and seemed to afford the upper classmen a great deal of amusement. But it soon be- came accustomed to the routine of Normal School life, and our first year was quite uneventful. The teachers seemed satisfied that we were a model class ; and we feel sure that their hopes for us will yet be realized. So the class, during its course in .school, goes on doing things. It has its share of intellectual students, whose brains collectively, if not individually, will some day without doubt, outweigh those of Daniel Webster. It also has its athletes who are invincible in all things, and in all contests in which they com- peted. If we should look into a record of the life of some of our classmates, we would find a record as follows : Ralph Anthony, Karl Berger, Paul Long, who were with our class from the time of its birth, and Joe Weitzel, Henry Rich and Francis Schools, new-comers, are our athletes, and as such have always been invincible. They helped us materially in all branches of athletics. Among the girls there were also a number of promising athletes, made up of the following : Misses Anna Davis, Marie Ulrich, Mary McGill, Sadie Kline, Grace McDyer, Violet Witchey, Elizabeth Marchetti, Catherine Bitting and Margaret Freas. 121 lOBlTERk S, - tn o S5 • I w ad Freshmen Know Thyself. ( .lY E FIRST meeting of the Class of 19-21 was cUleJ by the Presiileiit of the (J L Junior Class, and the following officers elected : President, Keffer Hart- line ; Vice President, Emma Cleaver ; Secretary, Edna Parsel : Treas- urer, Abaline Warden. There were eleven Freshmen present at this meeting. Alth )Ugh this may sound tiny, we feel confident our cla.ss will grow in spirit and number as we out- grow our freshness. Our chosen class colors are gray and old rose. Many days of hard labor are before us, but we shall not flinch ; we believe in the old saying : Still must I on. Our one great regret is we have no basket ball team ; we assign the cause of this to our few in number, but, beyond a doubt, if this drawback could be over- come we would give the Sophomores and even the Juniors the scare of their lives — such is our class spirit. Our class lost one of its officers soon after its organization. Miss Abaline Warden, Treasurer. Miss Helen Phillips became her successor. We are the Freshie.s of Stately Normal, but we intend to do our bit, as the years to come will surely prove. Who seeks success must falter not, nor shirk ; The only road that leads to it is work. 125 JOBITEFLI; 1 leia 1 Trot Wisdom Secrecy is a good policy. He whose pony runs away, Will get a zero round next day. A little trotting now and then, Is practiced by the best of men. The teacher makes the trot go. Onl ' a fool never changes his trot.

The children, numbering between 150 and 200, are directed in all their work by the Seniors, who in turn are advised and criticized by the special criiic teacher of each of the four divisions. Misses Mabel Moyer, Helen Carpenter, Edith Maize and Charlotte MacLean are the critics of primary, first and second intermediate, and grammar grades re- spectively. Prof. O. H. Bakele.ss, the Head of the Pedagogical Department supervises the courses pursued thruout the Model School. It is the aim of the Model School to administer to the individual needs of each child, especially in whatever line he may be most deficient. Each teacher aims also to develop a many-sided child, and nothing is omitted that would aid in accomplishing this goal. One of the methods for the instruction of Modelites recently secured is the motion- picture machine. Pupils, students and teachers have shown their school spirit, as well as their educational interests, by the splendid co-operation of all in the raising of the funds which made it possible to procure it, and are now keep- ing it in operation. Each Senior upon leaving Normal will carry with him many practical truths and suggestions which he received in the Model School, as well as many happy memories. These will be of great value to him in his teaching next year. The class of 1918 sincerely wishes the Model School the very best success in the vears to come. 131 I leis 1 vmn Z__Av s8 b ! i s __S  D e J Qji ' ■• ' ■ ( TfHE TEACHERS Course at Bloomsburg State Normal School is a four l|L years ' course. It is so planned that it becomes possible for a student from a third, second, and first class high school to enter and finish with the equivalent of a four j ' ears ' high school and a two years ' professional teacher ' s course. The first and second years of the course aim to bring up any academic work which the student may not have comjjleted to make his attainments those of a graduate of a first class high school. The Junior and Senior years of the course aim to take up the connnon branches in review, with the purpose of learning how to teach them. Instruction is also given in Manual Training, Domestic Science, Domestic Art, Drawing, Agriculture and other optional and required academic subjects. The professional woik is mainly confined to the third and fourth years of the course, and affords training in School Management, General and Special Methods, Psychology, and Child Study, History of Education and one period daily of Practice Teaching in the Training School, for a year, under the ex- pert supervision of four critic teachers. 13-J {OBITER.1, 1 ieia y fHE PREPARATORY work done at Bloomsburg differs materially from that of the majority of preparatory schools. All the strictly college pre- paratory branches, as well as those of the teacher ' s course, are presented with reference to their pedagogic as well as academic value. This neces- sarily results in giving students a broader conception of these subjects than is otherwise po sible, and renders graduates better able to think for themselves. That these methods are practical is shown by the fact that Bloomsburg is con- stantly represented among the students of the Colleges and Universities of the country. The courses of this department may be roughly classified under three heads or main course, the classical, the scientific, and the medical preparatory. As the history of the latter course is not widely known it has been thot advisable to pre- sent it at this point. The Medical Preparatory Course had a very humble beginning. It was be- gun by ])rivate arrangements made by Prof. Hartline for W. W. Preston, now Dr. W. W. Preston of Montrose, Pa., and Elam Frederickson. By this arrange- ment they agreed to help in teaching the large class in Elementary Physiology in return for which they were to receive advanced instruction in Human Anatomy. As this was not on the regular schedule they were obliged to work at whatever time possible. It was found that the most desirable time was from (S to 9 p. m. This private arrangement lasted for two years. Because of the increased demand for this subject a class was organized and it was officially recognized by giving it a place on the official program. At the same time provision was made for extension of the course by inclu- ding work in Histology and Bacteriology and shaping up the cour.se .so that girls who intended to become trained nurses could get this biological training. During this time Dr. A. K Aldinger, head of the Department of Phy.sical Training, was gradually develo]3ing the Physical Training Course with the view of preparing young men and women for this line of work. Matters were so ar- ranged that the courses were adjusted and overlapping eliminated. At this time the advanced Human Anatomy was taught by Dr. Aldinger, and Prof. Hartline taught the subjects Comparative Anatomy, Histology, Physiology and Hygiene and Bacteriology. It was at this period that the course reached the highest point of its development. This j)hase in the development brot into the foreground students who have since taken courses in Forestry and have taken courses in Universitx ' of Michigan, Syracuse, Columbia, U. of P., and the summer school of Biol, of Brookl u Insti- tute and have become U. S. Foresters, high .school and Normal school teachers and assistants to University and College Profe.ssors of the Biological Sciences. 13a tOBITEFvl.- iCQUH] Commercial I VjJlTH the great demand for stenographers and typewriters pouring into the 1 4 j[ different departments of the state, all who can avail themselves of the C opportunity to train for this great work should do so when the first proposition is put up to them. When we once lose an opportunity it may mean that we are compelled to take whatever the world has in store for us, but with a training such as is offered in our Normal School, with the aid of a little energy on the part of any ambitious person, many a good position can be secured. It has been said that good things come to those who put a little effort into that which they are trying to accomplish. Bloomsburg Normal has one of the best equipped commercial departments in this part of the state, and also has one of the most efficient teachers at the head that it is possible to secure. Sometimes a person conceives the idea that he can get something without hard work. This little thought has been the cause of a great manj ' failures in life. It is onlj ' after we have put everything into the life that we begin to realize that the work has not been in vain. The class of 1918 has the honor of having one of its girls who had been a member of the Senior class until January, leave school and accept employment with the United States Government. This is quite a good record for the school as there were in all about ten persons to take the examination, and it was the student from Normal that won for herself a name, as well as for the department and the instructor in charge. 134 Departments ( HE music department is very strong and exceptionally efficient Many of Ijl the Seniors have taken advantage of the opportunities oflfered for training along musical lines In society the influence of this department is felt strongly, for the instructors are always ready to help us work up first class musical numbers. This vear we have been having our Chapel music directed, and our singing has greatly improved. Many of the Seniors have been specially trained in con- ducting, and have led our singing. It is an inspiration to have the whole student body sing the popular war songs, for the.se have been the subject of special work in Cha])el. A Chapel choir has been organized for Sunday evening prayer meetings, and hns been greatly enjoyed. At all of our Literary Contests, the music provided has attracted as much attention as the contestants. An excellent course in Musical Appreciation is provided for all who wish to avail themselves of this unusual o])portunity. The Art Department is well organized and strong. One has only to ex- amine the walls of the studio, on which are many specimens of the work done by students, to appreciate the high qunlit -. Thru the efforts of this dep irtnient, largely, we had this j-ear an exception- ally fine Art Exhibit. This was held in the Chapel, and consisted of two hun- dred fine copies of the world ' s best paintings. The Exhibit was ojien for four days, and two evening entertainments were given in connection with it. With the proceeds a movement to decorate the corridor walls was started. Visitors will be delighted with the hall-wa - of the Model School building, which was decorated. One of our own classmates, especially trained in thii department, has been elected to a position on the art staff of one of our largest college publications. This is perhaps our best tribute to the Art Department. 135 t OBlTER,L The Price 5he Paid. (A story, the scene of which is laid in Grammardom. ) fyUISS Particii)le was a stout, somewhat clumsy girl, with what T Ifl some people called a dual personality. To those who knew her, ( however, she meant all that a true friend could mean. Miss Par- ticiple became very tired of such a cumbersome name, and decided that the only way to change it was to marry some young man with a less cumber- .some title. Thereupon, she began a reckless flirtation with Mr. Finite Verb, of the old, aristocratic Verb family. Of course, this assumption on the part of Miss Participle raised some comment among the society leaders. I declare, asserted Miss Noun, the debutante of the season, does she think that Mr. Verb, who lias been so very attentive to me, is going to shower his affections upon her? Why, the very idea is preposterous. She ' sthe ugliest duckling on earth anywa -, and a more sophisticated being never ex- isted, and with that declaration, Miss Noun turned up her no.se in .scorn. But, apologetically offered Mr. Objective Complement, who had been courting Miss Object for some time and knew the ways of lovers, It isn ' t always looks that count. Look at the Expletive family, he continued by way of illustration, a ha]ipier family one never saw, and yet Miss It was far from beautiful when Mr. There Expletive took her to be his wife. Oh, fiddle-dedum, broke in Are, the Copula, di.sgustedly. Mr. Are, the Copula, was Mr. ' erb ' s helper on many a trying occasion. Did mor- tal beings ever quarrel so much ? This statement put the quarrelers to shame and the party broke up. Now there were trying times in Grammardom. President Subject had issued a call for volunteer helper s, since he was about to engage in a strug gle with King Predicate, because of the latter ' s claim to some jiroperty which rightly belonged to President Subject. Because of the scarcity of volunteers, the draft system was instituted, and unfortunateh ' , Mr. Finite Verb was drafted. The drafted men were innnediately drilled, and camps diagrammed, and all were placed into their respective places. Then began such a warfare as was never before heard of. Adjectives and adverbs were mercilessly thrown at one another, innocent expletives killed without a moment ' s warning by being thrust into a sentence or prison and there put thru the worst tortures, and camps destroyed without end by the enemy ' s lines. In one of the skirmishes Mr. ' erb was struck by a substantive clau.se from the enemy ' s camp, separated from his helper, Mr. Have, and Vk ' as so (Continued on page 14G) lib 1 I leis i jOBlTEfR,} [ 1 leis I PHILOLOCIAN Literary Society Motto — Speech is the Image of the Mind.

I HILO began its career in the first year of the Bloomsburg Literary Institute tFJ which later became the State Normal School. jij The Society was organized in 1866 with ten charter members, among whom we are proud to number Dr. D. J. Waller, Jr., our Principal, and John M. Clark, former Secretary of Board of Trustees. During these years Philo has steadily grown, and during the Fall Term of our last year received one hundred and seventy new members. The aim of Philo Society is to give to its members the necessary training and pre]jaration to enter upon jniblic literary work which is so necessary for people who desire to become successful teachers. In order to develop their aim, Philo adopted the plan of holding weekly meetings. These veekl - meetings are held Saturday evenings, and programs consisting of readings, musical selections, and debates are given by members of Philo. Aside from doing literary and social work, Philo is a strong supporter of athletics, and everywhere the foot ball squad journeys Philo may feel justly proud of the blankets she purchased for them. Philo reunion falls on Thanksgiving Day. It is the one day that all Philos strive to make the best. All old Philos come back on this day to renew old ac- quaintances made at school, and to make new friends among those who have taken their places in making Philo a success. The most ini])ortant tvent of the day is the drama. This year, The Temp- est was played with rare skill and most remarkable ability. The work of Philo cannot be over-estimated by members of the school. We must each do our share in trying to make Philo the success in the future that it has been in the jjast. We must be united as one to accomplish big things, and Philos, who have graduated, must help the same as those who are yet at school. i;j8 CALLIEPIAIM Literary Society PRiBSTANTIA AUT NIHIL. So, when the night falls, and the do s do howl. Sing ho ! for the reign of the horned owl ! We know not alway Who are kings by day. But the king of the night is the bold brown owl. S we glance over the activities of Callie, we cannot fail to note how closely 7A the spirit shown during the events of the past year corresponds to that r ■ characteristic of our society thriiout its whole history. Well has that spirit guided us in carrying out the thot of our motto, Excellence or Nothing. When we began our society work last fall we were prone to be disheartened because we could not boast of overwhelming numbers. We went at our work however, with the determination to give Callie a successful year. With this aim in the foreground we took hold of our Saturday evening meetings and produced many ajjpropriate programs. During the early part of the j-ear we had prepared for a public program, when we were asked to cooperate with the rest of the school in giving a vaude- ville to raise money for procuring a band to help win the Wyoming game. We resjjonded, and contributed a number of selections which were well given. At this time we presented the school with a service flig, which now hangs in chapel. On the twenty- third of February we celebrated our forty-fourth anniversary. The morning program was made up of selections of the highest character, and we received the praise of those who were our guests for the occasion. There was a large number of the more recent graduates back for the day, among them a number of our boys in khaki. The play, All of a Sudden Peggy, was well given and well liked. The whole day was characterized by the same patriotic spirit that has been manifested in Callie thriiout the whole year. We are sure that the majority of people went away with the feeling that they had spent one of their happiest days at B. vS. N. S. And so our work went on thruout the ear. In looking over the results of our year, we realize that in order to con luct a successful society, it is not so nec- essary to have large numbers and nuuh money as it is to have the spirit. In a smaller society the work must necessarily be distributed among a larger percent- age of members, thus greatly increasing the interest. The members must nec- essarily get closer together and cooperate more, and so accomplish more. And thus we feel that we have accom)ilished our year ' s aim, and are sure that the U ' lS class will recall with saii-ifaction their man - happy times spent in Callie work. 139 Y. M. C.

The Cabinet who so successfully directed this work was composed of the fol- lowing : John Ruth, ' IS, President ; Warren Kuedlcr, ' 18, Vice President ; Ralph Dreibelbis, ' 19, Secretary; Fred Witchey, ' IS, Treasurer; Stewart Wiant, ' 18, Devotional; Bruce Shearer, ' 18, Social ; Reuben Stevens, ' 18, Athletic ; Warren Knedler, ' 18, Music ; Victor Rosell, ' 19, Missionary ; Ralph Dreibelbis, ' 19, Bible ; Courson Zeliff, ' 18, Membership ; Ralph Hart, ' 18, Deputation. The above Cabinet members are to be highly complimented for the manner in which they have discharged the duties of their respective offices. They were greatly aided by the spirit of helpfulness and brotherhood which pervaded the student body as a whole. In April, the president, John Ruth, attended the state Y. M. C. A. Presi- dents ' conference at Lebanon Valley College. The reports from this conference submitted by him proved themselves to be an impetus for our organization. In June the following members were sent as delegates to the Blairstown Convention : John Ruth, Ralph Dreibelbis, Howard Johns, Victor Rosell, and Ray Klingaman. Their reports also aided greatly in the development of our or- ganization. We feel sure that the mid-week prayer meetings have proven to be a source of much comfort to many of the young men of the school. We all feel honored by the fact that our organization is represented in the service of our country, both on land and sea. Several of our members are now in France fighting beside their brothers, the men of the allied countries, to make the world safe for democracy. As we are about to leave this work to those who follow, we sincerely hope that the progre.ss of the Y. M. C. A. may be such as will shape the livei of the students to follow out the teachings of the poet who .said : So live, that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan, which moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death. Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night. Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave, Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams. HI W Y. W. C.

S. has, during (_ the past year, endeavored to promote this development among its young women. The association carries out its aims thru many lines of work. The reception held at the beginning of the year, is one of the most import- ant factors in getting the students acquainted, and ready for the wirk of the en- suing school year. Various other social events have been held thruout the year, one of which was the Hallowe ' en party. Altho this was held especially to afford a good time to the students, the organization was able to raise an amount of money which it gave toward the War Fund. The spiritual development of the students is promoted thruout the year by the weekly prayer meetings. The Thursday evening meetings are conducted l y student leaders. The Sunday evening meetings are led b - members of the faculty and other prominent leaders. The teacher ' s training class under the direction of Professor Bakeless affords a splendid opportunity for Bible study. This is held every Su;i lay evening be- fore the prayer meeting. Another interesting phase of the work is the Mission Stu ly Class lei by Miss Teele. This study enables us to get an insight into the religio:is of the world. The Social Service Committee does very active work in helpiiiT; the nee ly of the community. One of the ways of accomplishing this is bv giving the pior kiddies of the town, a real Christmas party, which is enjoyed by all. Leaders are trained by Miss Hinckley to carry on this work in their own comin.mities by means of Eight Weeks Club. A delegation of ten girls attended the Conference at Eaglesmere last June. From this Conference the girls came back with renewed association spirit, which has spread through our association and helped us to make our purpose more manifest. The Cabinet is composed of the following girls, who with the help of the Advisory Board, have directed the work of the association. OFFICERS : President, Edwina Wieland. Treasurer, Freda B. Snyder.

Among the first to be at his bedside was Miss Participle, who, surprising to say, cheer- ed Mr. Verb to such an extent that day by day he gradually improved. Miss Noun, however, who was so emphatic in her love for him, did not ap- pear, and it was learned from the prattle of her sister. Baby Article, that she didn ' t fancy marrying a disfigured man. As the days ripened, Mr. Verb realized more and more how much he needed Miss Participle. As all wars end eventually, the war in Grammar- dom also ended. The terms of the treaty provided that each party should truthfully and honestly take whatever property was most useful to him. Thus Grammardom saw happier days. One month after the war, a marvelous wedding was held at the Verb mansion on Grammar Avenue. Onl) ' the warmest friends of both parties were present and such merrymaking as went on was never heard of for miles around. Even Mr. Shall and Miss Will were actually present — and not future — as was rumored. But one person was not happy.

Owing to the call of their countrj ' some of the boys of last year answer- ed the call to down the Huns (Jones and Foster). The following men of the previous year gave promise of making a strong team, doing effective work, such as Johns, Henrie, Hodder, Dormack, on the line, and Leonard, Kester, and Leach in the back field. And the new men who entered the limelight and gave promise from the start, were Kahler, vStevens, Welliver, Miller, Faust, Musgrave, Cherrington, Weitzel and Kenny, on the line, and Bavolack, KirkhulT, Hower, Anthonj ' , Lohman, Hart, Davies and Long in the back field. As has been the custom for a number of }-ears, the season was supposed to have opened with Bucknell University, but on account of the un- preparedness of the Normal team Coach Weimer cancelled the game. After one more week of the usual hard preliminaries, shoving the horse, tackling Lizzie, getting the signals down, we were ready to take our chances against Keystone Academy. Kirkhuff piloted this team to victory, winning by a score 27-0. We next met the team which represented Shippensburg Normal, who journeyed from that place to Bloom, only to be sent back with defeat by a score of ' 2. ' -0. The following week the Bucknell Reserves were doomed to fall beneath 151 the onslaught of our new team, which b - this time were beginning to work as one. The score was 47 ' -0. The green team which Coach had rounded out of the new men, he now thought safe to line up against the strong Mansfield eleven in a game to be played on neutral grounds. Backed bj ' students and alumni from both, there appeared in Wyoming Valley the greatest game of the sea.son. It was fought at Diamond Park, Wilkes- Barre. Owing to the defeat of Blonms- burg, it must not be forgotten that Mansfield had a back field of College men and a line of veterans, the score being 14-0. After our first defeat of the season we were hungry for revenge, but owing to the condition of the Miller.sburg team they were forced to cancel their game, thus giving us two weeks in which to prepare for the annual defeat by the Penn. State Freshmen. The Bloom team entered this conflict with the same vim, vigor and determination that they had in all previous games It is needless to mention the fact that many of the Bloom men were knocked out, and above the noise of the battle could be heard the now familiar cry of carry him off. Freshmen ! The final score was 78-0. After a week of rest we determined to wipe out our defeat by trounc- ing the strong Dickinson Seminary eleven on their ground. In this hard fought battle both teams were held scoreless until the thirty seconds of play, when Bloomsburg shoved the ball over Dickinson ' s goal for a touchdown, Normal coming home with a 7-0 victor ' .

A crowd of easily ; ' 000 saw Normal ' s green team, with one lone veteran in the line-up, go against Wyoming ' s veterans — a team that averaged at least ten pounds more to the man — and they saw Normal literally play them off their feet. They saw the visitors score within two minutes after play began on the veriest fluke, and then witnessed the spactacle of Normal, rather than disheartened by that handicaji, literally pound its way through the Wyoming defense and by short, stabbing gains carry the ball half the length of the field for a touchdown. Twice again in that first half they saw Normal tear its way through a stubborn Wyoming defen.se to within ten and fifteen yards of the goal, only to lose by a costly fumble. Again in the third quarter, did they see Normal carry the ball almost to Wyoming ' s goal only to lose it. And then, for the first time in the wh ' le game that Wyoming ' s defense assumed anything like real proportions, they saw the visitors assail Normal ' s gates and witnessed one of the most remarkable defenses any field has ever seen. With their last ten 3-ards placing them within a foot or two of the Normal goal they made the gain by an inch, and it required two more downs to put the ball acro.ss. That was the only period in the entire game when Normal was really playing a defen.sive game. CRASH CAME QUICKLY. That, however, was sufficient to throw a mantle of gloom over the thousands of Normal cohorts. There remained six minutes to play when the kick-off sent the ball close to Normal ' s goal post. That Normal could tie the score in those few minutes seemed impossible. An offside play set them further back, but the crowd was then thrilled as it has seldom been thrilled before as they saw Nor- mril ' s wonderful machine plow through the Wyoming line for the same stead} relentle.ss jabs that had been bowling over the supposedly more seasoned Wyom- ing line all through the game. There was no withstanding that furious attack. Normal ' s eleven, aroused over possibility of its su])erior attack being thwarted by a miscue here and there, tore relentlessly on. The crowd went wild. Normal by this time was out of its own territory and in the du.sk of an approaching night was passing rnpidly over the chalk-lined field. A fumble meant defeat, but the fumble that had baffled their hopes before was this lime absent. Through the tackles and the guards -playing straight foot ball all the time— shot that Normal attack. The end of ])lay was drawing perilously near, but just before the whistle blew, over the line went Hower with the tying score. Uormack there had the chance to win the game. The angle at which he was obliged to kick was an easy one, but the ball shot ea. ' ilv three feet to the right of the goal post, and again victory was thrust from Normal ' s lips. But the great crowd thought the goal had been kicked and forthwith went wild. They would have gone wild, anyhow, for hadn ' t they sten one of the greatest games Central Pennsylvania has ever staged ? The lineu]! : Wyoming Touchdowns — Kirkhuff, Hower, Horsefield, Young.

Werntz, Captain Manager UR basket ball season was much more successful than was expected on ac- count of the fact that the war deprived us of all our old players except Bavolack, this year ' s captain. Facing this condition of affairs Coach Wei- mer and Captain Bavolack began work with entirely new men. The players were recruited from the class teams of last year, with the exception of Kirkhuff and Schools. This material was finally rounded into a winning team which has more than held up the honor of B. S. N. S. The basket ball season opened for Normal away from home, against a sea- soned college team. We were defeated by the Bucknell team in a hard fought contest. Kirkhuff and Miller played an exceptionally fine game. Our next game was staged at home against the Masons. After the smoke of the contest cleared away we were found to be winners to the tune of 23—11. Weimer, our coach, starred for the opposing team, while Kester and Kirkhuff starred on our own team. Closely following our victory over the Craftsmen we defeated the strong Friars Club of Berwick. Score 31 — 19. Hower and Kirkhuff starred. Keyed up to a high point by her recent victories, Normal next met her old rivals, Wyoming Sem., and walloped them to a turn with a 19 — 10 score. The old Bloomsburg machine was in excellent condition, every one starring. Our next game was played at Shippensburg where we were defeated by a 22 — 11 score. Our next game was staged at home against Keystone Academy. After a hard fought game the outcome of which was undecided until the last few min- utes of play, we came out the victors, score 24 — 21. Kirkhuff, Bavolack, and Miller starred. Our next game was played with the Berwick Y. M. C. A. on the Berwick floor. After a holly contested game we were defeated by a 39 — 24 score. 156 [OBITEFLJ After our defeat at the hands of the Y. M. C. A. we journeyed to Keystone Academy where we were dragged over the coals as a recompense for the defeat they suffered at our hands earlier in the season. The game however was hotly contested and we were defeated by on!} ' 3 points, score 25 - 22. On the .same trip we again met our old rivals, Wyoming Sem and they too got sweet revenge for the defeat which they had suffered at our hands. Altho our men fought hard they were defeated by the score 47— 2! . We now played a series of games at home, the first with Shippensburg, who defeated us on their own floor. However, when they confronted us on our own floor they were powerless, and after a fast game were defeated 27 — 17. We came back strong, however, and defeated Altoona High School in a fast game with a score of 46 — 16. Kester and Hower were the main scorers in this game. Following this we landed another victory by defeating Lock Haven to the tune of 25— 28. The game was hotly contested, but by exceptional work on the part of Bavolack the visitors were finally routed. The season ended with another victory for Normal when we held the Free- land M. and M. Institute with a score of 26 — 15. In all we won eight games out of thirteen. SCORES : Masons Club 11 Normal 2.

The l|L girls responded very well to practice, and good passing developed under the persistent coaching of Miss Schools. The team this year was strong considering the new material to work on. Miss Fisher, a new member, strengthened the team by her work as forward. The season opened with a game on the Normal floor with Hazleton. Altho this game came before our girls had much practice, they soon showed hew they could play by defeating Hazleton with a score of 12-2. The second game was played with the Wilkes-Barre High School, an exceptionally strong team. This was the best and most exciting game of the season, and despite the fact that Miss Keene was unable to play in cen- ter, Normal girls came out victorious. It was a fast game from beginning to end, the first half ending with a score of 10-7 in Wilkes- Barre ' s favor- The second half ended with a score of 16-15, Wilkes-Barre then fouled, and from the free line Miss Foye tossed the goal that gave Normal the victory. On March 10th the Wilkes-Barre Y. W. team played on Normal floor and defeated our girls by the score of 11-13. The W. B. Y. W. C. A. team is an old one at basket ball, and altho our girls played a very fast game, they could not outplay them. The score was a close one showing that our girls were not slow. On March 21 the Normal Varsity team went to Wilkes-Barre to play two return games, one with Wilkes-Barre High School, and the other with Wilkes-Barre Y. W. C. A. Normal lost both games, but the game with High School will never be forgotten by our girls, and the reception given them by the High School girls. All of our girls will vouch for the good spirit shown by Wilkes-Barre High School. This ended the season for Varsity, one of the most successful seasons ever spent by any member on the team. Forwards — Elva Foye, Captain; Lillian Fisher. Centers — Carrie Keene, Rose Engel, Mabel Decker. Guards — Edwina Wieland, Sadie MacDonell, Ida Wilson. 158 1918 .SENIOR BASKET BALL lyi- L,MOK liASKLl BALL Class Basket Ball BOYS ' — SENIOR YEAR. T the beginning of Winter term the prospects of basket ball did not AA look promising for the Senior team. In fac t, the Senior basket (j ball team was considered a joke, as it was thought by everybody that we had no one who could play basket ball. However, with Mike Leach as Captain, and Lohman as Manager, we turned out the winning team of the season. In fact, we won every game played including one with the Varsity Reserves. Steve, our tall center, showed his ability by out-jumping every other center who opposed him. Eddie Yost, altho small in stature, turned out to be our star for- ward, having the largest number of points to his credit. Next to him in regards to points was Lohman, who quickly developed into a star player. As to the other men of the team. Leach, Pollock, Johns, Musgrave and Wolfe, altho not stars, did good work and helped to make the season a successful one.

( HE Seniors this year had a hard contest in playing against the Juniors. Ifi The two games that were plaj ' ed were hotly contested, the Juniors winning the first game by a small score. In the second game the Seniors put on Senior bravery and won over the Juniors. This made a tie in the winning of games and another had to be played for the cup. Owing to the disability of the Senior team to play this game, because of the sprain- ed knee of Miss Keene, the jumping center, and the broken nose of Miss Foye, forward, the game was delayed until after Easter vacation. The clsss spirit was good and credit is due to everyone who took part in making the basket ball season a success. The line-up was as follows : Forwards — Foye, Captain ; Augenblick, Rj-an. Guards — Wilson, Wieland. Center— Keene, Engel, Powell. 161 1 leia I Girls ' Athletic Association. PROBABLY it is thot that the girls of B. S. N. S. are not athletically inclined, but any one who has spent the year 1917-18 under Nor- mal ' s roof will assure j ' ou of the fine spirit shown by the girls to help make athletics a success. On October SO, 1917 a meeting was held to organize a Girls ' Athletic Association. The meeting was a decided success, and the following officers were elected for the year : President - Elva Foye. ' iCR President - Rebecca Augenblick. Secretary - Ruth Henry. Treasurer - Mary Williams. Manager OF Varsity Ruth Pope. The aim of the association was to have all girls join together for care- free play — the motto chosen was Fun. The association fully realized what it attempted to do, and brightened many weary Mondays for the girls. One of the features of the season was a social held in the Gym, Monday afternoon, Jan. Ifi. Pennants adorned the walls, cushioned seats, very inviting for friendly chats, were placed in convenient corners of the room. Refreshments were served and music furnished for dancing. Every person appeared to be living up to the motto. When money was needed there was more than enough vim, as well as abilit) ' , among the girls to furnish material to be arranged in the form of a vaudeville show. The show proved to be a great success and the special- ties given by Augenblick and Bakeless were screams. Every person voted it the best vaudeville ever held here. There are many other happy events we could enumerate if space per- mitted—but ' tis enuf to say that the girls are proud to have contributed to the athletic life and spirit of the school. The year was finished with over $50 00 in the treasurj ' . At the last meeting it was decided to buy two croquet sets and two sets of quoits for the use of the girls, the remainder of the money to be invested in thrift stamps, so the year of lUlS for the success of the Girls ' A. A. has not been a slow one. 162 IOBlTER .|; ' K M- V TRACK Track Athletics ( HE inter class track meet was held Monday, March 28, in the gym- l|l nasium. Coach Weimer, assisted by Prof. Teel, directed the events. The class team made a good showing against their opponents in the jumping events, in which Capt. Griffiths took first prize on the broad jump, making ' 20 feet 2 inches. In the running high jump, Sands .scored second place, being beaten by Dormack by two inches. The relay team was the surprise of the meet. It consisted of Pollock, Johns, Klingaman and Leach. With only a little training this quartet succeeded in taking second place. Their time around the course was 4 minutes 59 2-5 seconds. In the quarter mile run the class was represented by Harmauy, Loh- man and Leach, who made a good showing and took third and second place, respectively. Seniors Relay — Boyle, H.

The suc- cess of our class progressed in the increasing ratio all of that year, and culminated in our Junior Drama, Heartsease. The story is that of a young English composer, Eric Temple, who has for a patroness Lady Neville, second wife of an English nobleman. She is young and brilliant ; her husband is past middle age and staid ; Erie Tem- ple is young, attractive, and about to be a social lion. Lady Neville desires Temjile for her lover, but he loves her .step-daughter, Margaret, who is also loved by Sir Geoffrey Pomfret, an amateur musician and a cousin to Lord Neville. Lord Neville looks with favor on Sir Geoffrey ' s suit. Pomfret steals an opera, the masterpiece of Temple, who, nearly insane at the loss, goes abroad. The title of the opera is changed, and with a dif- ferent libretto it is produced. The first night audience receives the opera with great acclaim and all seems well for Sir Geoffrey. Eric Temple, returned from abroad, hears and recognizes his opera. He tells his friends, and so the news comes to Lord Neville. Geoffrey shows his guilt clearly when he unexpectedly meets Temple in the ante-room of the opera house. Resolved to brazen it out, Pomfret challenges Temple to a duel. This, Lord Neville interrupts, and Geoffrey, finding everyone against him, gives up the struggle. Eric wins his rightful fame and claims the hand of Margaret who has loved him thru everything. During the play there are several delicious comedy scenes furnished by Eric ' s sister Alice, and his friend Captain O ' Hara, who are deeply in love and the only ones who do not know it. Pomfret ' s friend Major Twombly, and Mr. Padbury, a common man of the town, are also fine comedians. The playing thruout was excellent and the cast cannot be commended too highly. Those who know say that no better cast could be assembled out- side of a training . chool, and that Heartsease surpasses all other dramas ever produced on Normal stage. The thanks of the class are e.xtended to our excellent coach, Miss Mac Donald. THE CAST.

The scene takes place on an island in the Mediterranean Sea. Alonzo, King of Na])les, and his attendants, having been shipwrecked, are lured to the island by Prospero ' s magic art. The leading roles were played by Nora Shannon and Bruce Shearer. Ruth Kahler played the ])art of Ariel, an airy spirit, to the great delight of the aud- ience. The most difficult role, that of Caliban, was played by Leslie Brace with remarkable ability. All the other characters plaj ' ed their roles verv well and helped to make the drama a success. One of the most attractive features of the drama was the dmcing. Ariel ' s solo dance was very delightful. Helen Lord and Mary Durkin did a sprite dance which amused the audience a great deal. The dance of the shapes was done re- markably well by six girls. A number of girls from the Model School, as at- tendants of Ceres, Juno, and Iris, did well in their dance. As a whole the drama was a great success and each one deserves a great deal of credit for doing his part so well. CAST OF CHARACTERS. Alonzo, King of Naples - . . .

In this waj ' the leading characters are thrown together, and in the course of events, Jimmj ' , the young son of the Lady Crackenthorpe, meets Peggy. An intricate and amusing plot is woveti about them much to the dismay and consternation of the family in general The original and alto- gether adorable Peggy finally disentangles matters by proposing All of a Sudden, and all ends happily.

Over -y the festivities Miss Evelyn Quinney presided with all the pomp and splendour of a beautiful Grecian goddess. This occasion was the annual celebration of the students of the Normal in honor of May Day, an old English celebration of joy. The afternoon ' s festivities commenced with the processional, led by the jiriestess drawn in a chariot by four wood nymphs and surrounded by their companions and butterflies, these being impersonated by first and second grade Modelites. The prie.stess consecrated the altar and with the ceremony began the transformation. The fountain nymjihs danced in honor of their goddess. Then the violets and daisies, bright harbingers of spring, sprang from the ground and danced with glee. Tlie dance of the garlands ended with the garlands being laid as an of- fering at the altar, and then followed a dance of the butterflies. Then the mortals entered into the celebration and a band of Grecian maidens danced for the priestess. Coming from the wood could be .seen many nymphs who were lured from their woody fastnesses by Narcissus. Narcissus and the nymphs join in a dance and gradually the nymphs leave him, and he dances on alone. Becoming lonely he calls for a mate and Echo, a favorite nymph of Diana, responds. They dance together but Narcissus tires of Echo and would leave her, and Echo departs broken-hearted. Narci.ssus dances on alone and after bt coming tired sinks wearily upon the ground. When his friends, the wood nymjihs return for him, they find their gay companion only a broken flower. The Greek mortals played games and the victors were crowned by Diana. After the games, the procession wended its way thru the grove and cool forest whence they h:id so sjjiritedly come for their annual celebration in honor of their priestess Diana. 174 {OBlTE t f 131S I Public Speaking Contest Given by the Class ok 1918, in the Sophomore Year, PROGRAM. 1.

Never dispute the right of way with a railway train. Never hug a freshh ' painted jjost. Mashed potatoes need not be masticated, but some meani should be provided for breaking up dry toast. If you catch a cold, shake it. If your stove troubles you with smoke, close all the doors and windows and live on the front porch, thus you will avoid getting red eyes. Never tell a conductor your face is your fortune — he might ]ninch it. I ' .se tango tea for rheumatism, its much better than sage tea. If our no.se becomes red from the cold air, .stay out another hour and it will become blue. Don ' t .smile too big, you might crack the enamel. To prevent getting indigestion from mince pie, feed it to the dog. Yes, you may eat tomatoes raw, but cobblestones must be cooked.

Wanted— a boy to be partly outside, and partly behind the counter. Widow in comfortable circumstances wishes to marry two sons. Annual sale uow on, don ' t go elsewhere to be cheated— come here. A lady wants to sell her piano, as she is going abroad in a strong iron frame. Mr. Jones, furrier, begs to announce that he will make up gowns, caps, etc., for ladies out of their own skins. I ost— a green lady ' s leather pocketbook. For sale — a nice mattress by an old lady full of feathers. There i$ a Small matter which $ome of our $ub$criberS have $eem- ingly forgotten. We are very modeSt and do not wi$h to $peak of it. 191 = .,Uq.a J Extracts FROM THE BLOOMSBURG NORMAL DICTIOXARV.

All that was best in us gladly we gave, Sprang from the rally, and leapt for the height. Smiling is Love in a foam of Spring flowers : Harden our hearts to him— on let us press ! Oh ! What a triumph and pride shall be ours ! See, where it beacons, the star of success ! Cares seem to crowd on us — so much to do ; New fields to conquer, and time ' s on the wing. Gray hairs are showing, a wrinkle or two ; Somehow our footstep is losing its spring. Pleasures forsaken us, Love ceased to smile ; Youth has been funeraled ; Age travels fast. Some times we wonder : Is it worth while ? There ! We have gained to the summit at last. Aye, we have triumphed ! Now must we haste, Revel and victory Why ! What is wrong ? Life ' s choicest vintage is flat to the taste Are we too late ? Have we labored too long ? Wealth, power, fame we hold — Ah ! but the truth : Would we not give this vain glory of ours For one mad, glad year of glorious youth ; Life in the Springtime, and Love in the flowers. — Robert W.
