From the first organized meeting to the last the underlying whimp- ers and desires have heen soniethnig different. I- rom out ot ' our midst we chose as our leader l a niond F.dwards. It was here that our euhuination ot oiu ideas of doing something uni(|ne was l)rought to light. ' ' lu- class ring — the rising siui used as a synihol for our search for kiunveldge — was a jiroof of our uni(|ueness. Our spirit at football, liaschall and haskethall games was just one mark of our i)ep. Hur class was well reiircscnted in athletics. Toward the end of om ' Junior year we --howcd mii(|cncss in another line — our pla_ ' , . othing hut the Tnuh, was ery ahly ])resented and did much toward showing the dramatic ability of our class. With the graduation of the class of ' 22 we l ecanie full tledgcd Seniors. In September wi- came hack with tiie air of seniority. We felt that atfairs lay in our hands and we tried to become masters of situations. It was at this time that the need of reorganizing Callie and i ' hilo Literary Societies became apparent. Wt ' had a hand in the resha])ing of these organizations which will always revert to the year 1922-192,5. ♦ ( )ur ileliglu in social events culminated in the senior jiartv and the X ' .ilen- tine party. The Japanese bazaar was another exentful e])isode in oiu class his- tory. Even though school work crowded heavily upon us in our Senior year, we found plenty of time for games, parties, hikes and teas. We pass on. leaving our heritage to the Jmiior class. 29 THF 109 -_ , OBI TLR Social J rls In Social Arts you learn to do jiist right In ev ' ry small detail or tiny thing; As how to dress and not to look a sight. The proper way in which to stand or sing. To i)lace your napkin gently in your lap. Conduct yourself with fitting charm and grace. To listen to a concert and not nap, dapt yourself to tit in every place. To eat your soup just so. with outward curve. To butter bread in bits .so white and small. Pretend that you do like what e ' er they serve. To taste and try. but not to eat it all. .So Social Arts, we know are fine to see, ' fhey make the finest girls there e ' r can be. L()L.

West Wyoming High School Joe Josf ' plii t :i dark liruwn liair. Jot ' s eyes are i ltie. Her form is passing fair Her lieart is always true. Well. Josephine is just called Joe. She thinks she has no other name. One iine sport is she: her cell number is 2jO. Her motto is Lights out at ten be- cause Early to bed. early to rise makes one happy, wealthy and wise. She doesn ' t believe in making any errors and her English is just Her room is generally very quiet during study hour, just ask the proc- tor? ???? T- Joe has prospects of becoming a .good teacher. She came here with those from the West Wyomin.g High School. As far as prospects go. I think it is lair in thinking so. but will she teach very lon.g: That ' s a question to be solved by you and me. Witch Hazle is her favorite son.g. Oh. naturally she has an accompanist. (Her Sister the second singing bird.) Joe always has a .good many eats, and of course, a good many enjoy them. We had the time of our hfe at her partv in December and oh! those eats!!!:: Well, time and tide wait for no man. says Joe. We shall wait and see how long Joe waits for a man. S. FRANCES ADAMS Millersburg. Pa. MUlersburg High School Franc Frances came from Millersburg (or is it Xlillersville?). at any rate she came and far from sorry are we. After prospecting about the Normal for awhile she settled upon the Bureau as a center of activity leading to further activity and from thence radiated in about every direction. One of these radiating lines led to Eagles Mere in the summer of 1922. one to the secre- taryship of the Senior class, one to the V. W. C. A. Cabinet and one to Stu- dent government. The fact that these various honors were thrust upon .her gives sufficient indication of her dis- position and standin.g amon.g her class- mates. Franc graduates this year, for which we extend our sympathy to the Normal. P.S. The S. stands for Sarah. 39 MAX ADAMS Glen Lyon, Pa. Newport Township High School NORMA AGNEW Pittston. Pa. B. S. N. S. High School Norm Max iiUiri-d our class as a senior in the year V)22. alter teachinj;: lor sev- eral years in the N ' ewport Township Public Schools. Max has great ability in Fine and In- (luslrial Arts, and because of his abili- ty we are glad to call on him as class artist. Max proved a tower of strength to our class. His co-operation with the class was outstanding; he always offered worth while successful sugges- tions that carried with them great weight. Being a member of the Obiter StatY he has contributed much time and effort toward making the Obiter a success. His greatest desire was to extend a helping hand to all. His wonderful per.sonalily gained for him a host of friends wliom he values. He may be readily called Max, the Lucky, for he is able to hold a position as super- visor of Industrial Arts in Newport Township and still secure his Xormal School training. We all wish you success. ■-V fraiiK ' sii rohust. wUli a nature s  swivt. .Sn i ariiest. so jrniccfiil. s solid, so Heot. Xornia is a good, all around girl upon whom a great deal of responsi- bility may be placed. She is always ready for a good time and willing to work if her help is needed. Her class- mates have found in her a true friend — but not only her classmates, for as a V. W. C. -•K. delegate to Eagles Merc, her true friendship was claimed by an- other. Just ask Norma about Black Beauty — she knows!!!!!! She carries the good will and wishes of her class with her. 4 0 ALICE RUTH ALBEE Ashley, Pa.

Stretch your imagination, dear read- er, and picture a little girl with black bobbed hair and black eyes, holding down a stiff-legged chair in Professor Bakeless ' classroom and you have a life-sized picture of Babe in Intro- duction to Teaching class any day after lunch. She doesn ' t belong to the sleepy bunch, however, because she is a live- wire of our class. Her witticism and stories will hold everybody in throes of laughter. However, we predict two successful years of teaching for Alice, but after that, you never can tell. A suuny disposition, an etTervesi ' inj; jrlee — Makes a Jolly, joyful niaiilen. Sii -h a ntaitlen now. is she. HILDA ALBERTSON Berwick, Pa. Berwick High School Kiinl. kind ami jrentle is she. it becomes a difficult task to write up this yomi.g lady — she is so quiet and unassuming. Indeed. Hilda is a living example of still waters run deepest. Hilda is a member of the Interme- diate Group and her pleasant disposi- tion has won lor her a host of friends among teachers and students. She seems desirous of securing a school somewhere near Gettysburg. We wonder why? It may be explained by saying, When the mountain could- n ' t come to Mohamet. Mohamet went to the inountain. 41 J MILDRED ARMS Riverside. Pa. Danville High School Myra did you .-say? No. it i. ; Mil- dred. Mow in the world did you lind that out : No, she did not tell me so, but look for yourself, her hair is straight. This certainly is Mildred. Mildred lives in a town not far from here, by the name of Riverside. W ' c Isuow it is not very far away because each Saturday Mildred and Myra de- parted with bajjs in hand, to return again Sunday ni.ght. They still have their first week-end to enjoy at old Normal. Mildred loves teaching and can iiardly wait until she has a school of lier own where she will see forty urchins coming thru the door. She ex- pects to teach for years to come unless she is drawn aside by — whom? She is a very jolly girl. This can be told by all the girjs on fourth floor, especially, when they sing their classi- cal opera selections, the dormitory stands on edge. Miss Meyers should bear them. In the afternoon when Mil- dred ' s classes are over, she scours the lial! for some one to teach her to play tennis, and her skill is now showing very rapidly. The class wishes you the best of suc- cess, Mildred, in your life ' s career. MYRA SCOTT ARMS Riverside, Pa. Danville High School . tall, dignified blonde is Myra, the other . rms twin. When these girls first took up their abode, as Juniors, on fourth floor, we had a difficult time discovering which was which. ery soon we became ac- (luainted with the jolly twins and now we know whom each is looking lor when she asks where her sister is. If at any time you feel blue, just call around at 427 and I am positive that ou will go away happy. Myra is so full of fun. You laugh from the time you join her until you leave her pres- ence. Myra is very fond of athletics, espe- cially tennis, when she can go out and play all afternoon from 1 to 5. She surely docs hold down the courts. She is very fond of receiving mail, csepecially when the Bucknell seal is on it. What do you say. Myra? We know that Myra will make a .good teacher. Your friends wish you good luck. 42 HAZEL E. ARNOLD Jermyn. Pa. Greenfield High School Pussy HELEN ARTHUR Honesdale, Pa. Honesdale High School Helen -.Nil n St for till ' c;irv w ln ' ii lla .i ' l is artittnd ' In Hazel, one of our jolly seniors, we have found a jjirl that is a niiKhty friend to all those that have known her well. Kver ready to lend a hand, is always willin.ij to share resi)onsil)ili- ties, and whenever she can cheer her girl friends ' by her wit and optimism, she ' s right there too. Besides these characteristics Hazel has always had a good scholastic stand- ing at B. S. . . S. But this was in no ways gained by an easy path. Always pushed on l)y strong determination and perseverance she has made the best of her three years here. Surely a girl with these splendid (|ualities cannot but succeed in the work of a teacher. This we know will lie true of Hazel. Helen is one of our really worth- while girls. Whether it be engaging in some mischievous stunt or discuss- ing some (|uestion of prime importance in class we may be sure that she will always be at the front. Helen has shown an aptitude to several different studies. Her keen interest in mathe- matics is strangely counteracted by her interest in Knglish. We feel that suc- cess w ' ill certainly be hers in the field of teaching the Junior High School children. ■13 CHARLOTTE AYRES Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Wilkes-Barre High School Tliis (Ic ' imiri. ' little maid has ciuk-ari-d luTsclf to everyone at school by her patience and steadfastness of purpose. We first learned to know Charlotte in the library, when she was one of Miss Hadley s able assistants. She showed us. while on duty there, what she was made of. because no task was too little to escape her attention, nor was any unruly boy or talkative girl too big to frighten her. For corrobora- tion on this score, we refer you to Mvra and Mildred Arms or to Carl Bfose. We are sine that she will be missed when she leaves Normal, but we are confident of her success in the field of teaching, and wish her every good for- time in her work. GRACE A. BACHMAN Hazleton, Pa. Hazleton High School . ' iniel kind nf irl. of wluilii il inil.v lie s:iiil. ll:is somi-tliiii); iiinri ' than niiU!ii ' D! e i .vinjr iinilt ' riH ' ath lu ' i- lu-ail. Grace ' s one ambition is to become a school teacher and her second choice is a foreign missionary. We feel that she will be successful at cither of these if a certain young man does not interfere. Judging by her picture. Grace might be considered a (juiet girl, but such things arc not to be judged by general appearances, for this member of our class is always ready for a good time. Grace always had a passion for wait- ing until the bell rang before she pro- ceeded on her way. Whenever you heard a scuffling of feet after 9.55. you could feel sure it was Grace. How fond she was of her dear little cot in the morning. Grace always waited for the echo of the bell before she arose, but she always arrived at her destina- tion. From her attitude toward her school work, we know she will never shirk her duty. May success and happiness come to you in your chosen profession. 44 ZELL BAER Shickshinny, Pa. Shickshinny High School Zell ■ ' i ' ell is Olio to whom we may look to bring fame to our class. She has the necessary stock of pep. Already she is noted- — lor her cxhaustlcss stock of jokes and pranks, her fondness for eats. her exceeding generosity with all tlie afore named, her talkativeness, her love of society, and her ability to turn her hand to anything or every- thing. Wherever she may go she will be a valuable asset to that community. We wish her success, but she would attain it ;uiyway. She is that kind. ZELA BARDO Millville, Pa. Millville High School Zela comes from Millville and if she is a fair representative of the town, it must be a fine community in which to live. She joined our ranks at the be- .Lrinning of the Senior year and by her Iileasing personality, inmiediately won man friends. Cheerfulness and good humor are Zela ' s dominating charac- teristics and these, combined with real ability, produces a most excellent re- sult. Zela is always cheerful and happy and thoroughly enjoys a good time. .She is another of our number who has lu ' come interested in Educational Meas- urement and sjiends considerable time working in the Bureau. You certainly enter into things in the right spirit. Zela. and we feel sure that you will reach the height of suc- cess in your future work. 45 DOROTHY BARTON Bloomsburg, Pa. Bloomsburg High School Dot RUTH BARTON Jersey Shore. Pa. Jersey Shore High School Babs Dot implies smallncss almost to the extent of invisibility, but our Dot, tho short in stature, is a very essential factor in the life of those who know her. She has been very successful in teaching and we know she is in her element when she is playing with or entertaining them. It is our l)est hope that she will carry on her good work, but we fear that those daily letters from Lewisburg will change her mind and she will take up another occupa- tion. Cherries seem to be her fa- vorite fruit. Ask her yourself. All joking aside, we know that Dot is an earnest student and an enjoyable classmate. What better proof could we have of her splendid attitude toward her work than the fact that every morning we see her trudging up Nor- mal Hill for an eight o ' clock class — and alwavs on time! l o we love her? Indeed we do. Hee3Ui.se. luy dear, yim ' re kiinl and true. Babs is a girl who appears to the stranger shy and reserved, but as we found she soon makes friends. And her friends know that she is one of the ioUiest girls of our class. She is one of the most faithful workers in the ' . ' . C. A., always remembering meet- ings when most of us have forgotten them in the hurry-flurry of dormitory life. Ruth selected the Intermediate Group to be her special field in the teaching profession. She has a way with children that makes us feel sure that she will become a successful teacher. 46 GERTRUDE BATES Dyberry, Pa. Honesdale High School The little Wayne (. ' ountx- village of Dyberry sent (iertrude to us at the l)e- g-inninsf of our Junior year and it may well l)e proud of its representative. Gertrude is a modest Rirl and ratlier quiet, especially when in company. l)ut as the old sayins .ijoes. still water runs deep. Because of her quiet and unassuming ways many people have been de|)rived of her friendshi]). but those who know her best value her as a true friend. Gertrude is a very liard worker, and a faithful student, which is proven I)y the success she has attained during her course at Normal. If you hold to the same B. S. X. S. faithfulness, success in life is bound to be yours, and we wish you the best of luck. V ROBINA BATEY Plymouth, Pa. Plymouth High School Bob lU-ijjIU c.vi ' s !iml ,i;i.li! .n liair, J.nvin;.

Her sweet disposition and pleasant smile have helped her to win her way into the hearts of every one in Girls Dorm. But she is not an augcl — once (?) she was seen out of her room after 9.55. She is full of fun and makes friends easily. Bob. may you ever be as successful as you were at Normal. 47 HURLEY BEAVER Catawissa, Pa. Locust Township High School Hurley A darU haired. brJKlH eyed. l)roa(l shouldered per.soii is Hurley. He has a Kood heart and a genial dis- position. Usually a quiet fellow, espe- cially when in the dining- room. We find him to be very conscientious and always believes in doing his duty, although he doesn ' t know why intelli- gence tests were ever invented. If you feel blue and life doesn ' t seem just what it ought to be. talk to Hur- ley and his smiles and happy thoughts will send you on your way rejoicing. Our best wishes arc with him for a happ} ' life with lots of .girls. We are sure his future as a school teacher will be a success, for he is interested in the work. GRACE BECK Sunbury. Pa. Shamokin High School Tn hi ' ( tlici( iit ill :i iiiiift wa.v. That is my aim thrmijrhtiiit earli day. Those who know Grace best can best appreciate her. Her casual ac- quaintance may not suspect the deep sense of humor that lies back of that quiet way of hers. Dut further ac- (|uaintance is sure to bring to light her fun-loving side. Her jokes have a snap to them and usually come as a com- plete surprise. Grace is quite expert at story-tell- ing. Her interpretations of the beau- tiful stories that have come to us from out of the past are artistic and full of feeling. These are not all of her fine points, but when you learn to know her. you will discover the others. 4S HILDA BECKER Taylor, Pa. Taylor High School When you look into thu black, snappy eyes, you know she means business. Hilda believes that The best time to do what is to be done is now. But not always do those eyes mean busi- ness, for she is just lull of fun and her merry sont; and laughter can be heard in third floor corridors at most any time. Hilda can always enjoy good jokes and is ever ready to return them. Nothing but the best of luck can be our one hope for you. ELIZABETH BENFIELD Centralia. Pa. Mt.

Her music will startle the worlil — all ri lit. Small and light, cjuick and efficient — that is Betty. Wherever she works or teaches, she is liked. She is in her element when she is teaching music, and she bids fair to make an excellent music teacher. She knits, and sings, and talks and hikes and does most everythin.g even to eating all the time. She ' s always on hand to make merry with the rest, but somehow she never gets squelched. When someone meets Betty for the first time, the remark invariably is, Isn ' t she sweet. Children all love her. so we know that she will be a very successful teacher. 49 c MAY BENFIELD Centralia, Pa. Centralia High School May May is a fr ' l. iiiiscllish and fair.

May is too (|iiift to be well ktiowii by many of her classmates, especially since she (b ' dn ' t join ns until our Senior year. Man. ' of us have missed a ijreat deal by not making her ac(|uaintance. as she is a jolly companion. She is best known as a successful story-teller. We hope to see a splendid future for our May as a succcsful writer and tell- er of children ' s stories. ADA BENNAGE Milton, Pa.

Fae Ktta spends her leisure time planninR her clothes. You can imapine the result. 50 _J 1 LESTER BENNETT Plainsville, Pa. Plains High School ••Babe RACHAEL BENSON New Milford, Pa. New Milford High School Thi. quiet, sedate, good lookin.u young man came to us from Plains- ville. but don ' t judge him by the town he comes from but by his arrival here. Not many in the school have succeed- ed in breaking down the reserve of this young man. He is quite uncom- municative, not because of disagree- ableness but because meditation is holding court. But those of us who have succeeded in breaking down this reserve found behind its barrier a per- sonality that few excel. One of Les- ter ' s happy faculties is his ability to sleep in the morning: Old King Tut doesn ' t have a thing on him. At 7:59 he can be seen tearing across the Campus to Science Hall with the speed of Paddock, providing he has an eight o ' clock class there: if he does not he is asleep in his room. If our stay at Bloomsburg had not yielded us any- thing else but an ' acquaintance with him we would feel well repaid. He has all the qualities that insure success and the best wishes of the Class of ' 23 go with him. Rachael is one of our workers. This is an attril)ute fit for the gods, espe- cially here in the dorm. She is one of the girls whom you must know in order to love. She is good-hearted and unassuming. yhen anything is to be done in Rural Club. Rachael is the one who does it and does it well. She is the real en- ergy behind things. Rachael showed just what kind of a good sport she can be during her term as floor supervisor. She never com- plained because she had to walk up and down the same hall many times or watch the last light out. It seems most natural that she will make the best kind of a rural school teacher, because she must be where there is the most work to do and feels that that place is in a rural school. It seems superfluous to wish a girl like this suc cess for success seems heading her way and try to stop him. Bon voyage! .51 c BEATRICE BERLEW Moosic, Pa.

She is always a true abider of the Student Government rules (?). Bea seems to feel she will end her days as a school teacher, but we hope her fate will be more pleasant than that. Here ' s success to anythini you mav do, Beatrice. MARY BETZ Millville, Pa. Millville High School Betty Here comes Mary tripping lightly and gaily up the walk, talking so fast she could be mistaken for no other. Mary joined our class this year after attending B. S. X. S. summer school, and we surely were pleased to have her in our midst. Mary ' s specialty is man. She likes them promiscuously. someone says, i)ut we arc loathe to agree with this rash statement, for she has shown some very good judgment (at times). But if we look beneath the exterior of frivolity, we see the real Mary, a girl of no meager possibilities. We believe in you. Mary, and know that you will come through with flying colors. FARA BINGAMAN Dalmatia. Pa. Dalmatia High School Vara, whose acquaiiitaiut- was made this year. Is cahn. gentle, quiet, but most sincere. By her pleasing manner and sweet toned voice, . ' he won our heart.s — we made the choice. .Mtliough she works and works she is not done. Vet finds along the way some bits ot fun. She talks of Dakotas and the S-S-S Until from gay laughter we gain dis- tress. To learn to cook was quite an ambition But soon by force came change in volition. Among machines she aimed then to control Sewing machine has played the very best role. MARGARET BITTNER Mauch Chunk, Pa. Mauch Chunk High School •I.i ' t inililiioss ever attend thy tongue Margaret did not enter our class un- til this year, but it did not take us long to fuid out what a splendid .girl she really is. Margaret is not one of the pushing sort, but has made her impres- sion on the class through her quiet way of getting things done. Margaret has some ability in lyric verse. We hope she will develop this worth while mode of expression. We wish Margaret all success in her career as teacher, and after that — all happiness. 53 E EDNA BLAINE Berwick, Pa. Berwick High School When vc first met Edna. vc thoii.ijht .■ihc beloiiKcd to the touch iiic not group, but in a viry short time we found out tli.it she belonged to the I ' orKet me not group. Kdna is cpiite fond of music, dancing, and ????. and altliough she is a day student, she is cpiite well known throughout the entire school. Her host of friends wish her the very best luck. KATHERINE BRACE Blo omsburg. Pa. Altoona High School K Hark: Hark! do yon hear tliat sniiiid? K is coiiiin;: arnttni). She briiiKS UiUKhiuK and joking and plenty of fun. Chases the clouds Just like the snn. Just as the robin is the harbinger of spring so is K the harbinger of a good time and the lianisher of troubles. Although a number of our class, K ' s interest and heart are found else- where?:: She tries hard to make us believe her heart is with us. but we know those tall escorts to and from (jlee Club, one so light, the other so dark — know better where it is. K surely has one very distinctive charm — her captivating smile. We won- der, judging from the frequent letters from Altoona, whether a third party has succumbed to it and is trying to claim a little corner of the already di- vided heart. K is the embodiment of youth and happiness and she puts this vitality in- to everything she does. Teaching will he just fun for her. and because of her gentle ways and enduring patience, suc- cess will be ever at her finger tips. Class of ' 2.1 wishes you luck in the vears to come. 54 GRACE BRANDON Berwick, Pa. Berwick High School Grace FLORENCE I. BREISCH Mainville, Pa. Mainville High School Flossy Chum Favored hy all iur tcarluTS ami classmates. We soon discovered the reason for her studious looks and manners; she wears a I ' enn State ring. We cannot imaKine how Grace expects to land in the Sophomore class next year, unless I.Q. plus attraction answers the ques- tion. The Class wishes you success in your greatest anticipation. ■Mclly. lull ..! ' Inn, -Mwa.vs ;i rrlclMl li cver.ViUlf. Listen, (lid you hear that laughing? es. that ' s I ' lossy. You can hear her from early in the morning until after ten at night. That and talking are her chief characteristics. If ever you have the blues just look up Flossy ; even in her dee|)est study moods she will toi) to talk and cheer, and before you can think twice you will he laughing as heartily as though yon never had a care in the world, regardless of all the l roctors and even Miss Kingman. Flossy has proven to be the truest of friends. During her three j-ears ' stay she has never failed us once. She is a good sport in everything — work and play alike. Just keep up the good work you Iiave begun, Flossy, and because you smile others will smile, and so there will be miles and miles of smiles, just because you smile. 55 J KATHRYN BRENNAN Miners Mills, Pa.

If a task is to be completed within a cer- tain length of time we always look to our Kadern to come off with flying colors and she never fails us. A better natured and jollier girl is harder to find, for wherever or when- ever you chance to meet her she is al- ways ready to .give you one of her fas- cinating smiles. Here ' s success to you. Kadern. HILDA BREZEE Duryea. Pa. Duryea High School Breezy ••SkilliMl in wise siifr;:es!ion, and confident f(ir the fntnre. It is intpossible in a short sketch of this kind to do anything like justice to many of our excellent classmates and Hilda is among the first on the list. Hilda possesses in a remarkable de- gree that unfailing, irrepressible en- thusiasm which is so contagious and which urge on her fellow classmates to greater efforts and higher airru:. Hilda is possessed of a gay optimism, and her ready smile and hearty laugh shows that her heart is where it ought to be (even though a certain person in Pittston has many claims to il . The coolness and absence of heat and haste indicates the fine qualities which she possesses. She is very popu- lar and is loved by all her classmates. We need not fear for her future and we send her forth with our best wishes and with the hope that Dame Fortune will smile on all her efforts. 5C ANNIE BRONSON Loyalville, Pa. Loyalville High School Annie is an out-door girl who enjoys hersch most when hiking or skating. However. Annie is not only skilled in sports; she is also efficient when it comes to sandwiches and popcorn balls, as we all can testify when we remem- ber the goodies sold by the Rural Club. We trust to her as our fire chief to save the third floor girls from the dan- gers of fire or a fifty-cent fine when the fire alarm rings. Annie expects to teach in the country, where we hope she will find time to enjoy the sports she likes so much. JESSIE BRUMSTETTER Millville, Pa. MillvUle High School Jess Here is a little girl we all hold dear. Though she ' s only been with us one year. Her pleasing manner and gentle ways Have won in the hearts of all a place. Many win friendship in an outward frank way. But Jess always chooses the quiet. modest way. Personality, they say. is what counts most in life. - nd if that be the case This little girl ' s success will surely be made. For she ' s full of pep and cheer .And happy most the year. Vet she ' s serious sometimes too. .Always a friend sincere and true. So here ' s to your happiness, dear old Jess, May the future hold for vou success. KATHERINE L. BRUST Hazleton, Pa.

We are not so sure about this. Perhaps she may have something to say tor lierself. Katlieriiie has l)een known never to refuse a dare, an adventure, or eats. I think slie ' U always reineinher the night she spent alarm-clock hiniting. Every half hour another one was revealed. Then, too, she never had to be called twice whenever there was a feed. She usually headed the procession with knife in hand. Katherine has heautiful long tresses and. either up or down, they have been the envy of all the girls. She is passionately fond of reading and we know that ' if she always attacks her work as she does a l)Ook she will succeed in w-hatever she attempts to do. .Ma.v Old name Kortinie comfort and cheer yon.

She and Martha arc insepar- able at every event of the school — cheering and talking lor one side or the other. (jladys likes to play tennis, but it is just as easy for her to take the part of a fine colonial lady. We all remember her well at the Senior Party. We wish you happiness and success. 58 RUTH E.

Whenever Ruth is around you are sure to be laughing, tor .■she is witty and humorous and entertaining. We miss her very much over the week- ends, as she always goes home, but we have come to the conclusion, There ' s a reason. We are quite certain that she would make a very successful teacher, but according to actions and rumors and the number of telephone calls, and also the reports of mail carriers we do not hesitate to say that she is very much interested in Temple I ' niversity and one of its students — particularly the student. We hope. Ruth, that success and happiness will be yours in the future. MARGARET A. BUTLER North Tonawanda. N. Y. B. S. N. S.

Hut ' Billie ' comes from a city far awa.v — . city ill New York or ' New Yauk. as some would say. We were enlivened by Billie ' s ever noticeable sunny presence, in senior High School year. Mischievous?? Ask Fara and Margaret. They will tell you because with the aid of her chum. Billie made their school life lively. Her hair is the bright sun of fourth floor which shines even on rainy days. Of course, first grade felt a lack of sunshine until her crown came up over the horizon of their life and dawned for them. When this sun sets and she must leave first grade, would that she could leave the sunshine. But alas! it would not be Billie without it. We all know that she has the very pleasing everything that goes with sun, even freckles. W ' e expect much of you Billie. We are sure that you have chosen wisely in selecting teaching as your life work for you will put cheer and sunshine in- to your schoolroom, which is very essential to this profession.

She may ho counted as one of the many who have made the class of ' 23 glad it existed, by her willingness and deter- mination to carry out many plans to better its welfare. One of her chief interests is that of Journalism — no wonder she joined Gallic — to say nothing about her in- terest in sin.ging Charlie is my darling. We think she chose wisely when she chose the Junior Hi.gh School Group. It remains now for us to wish you the best success possible as you journey along life ' s pathway.

Have you ever noticed a brown-eyed, black-haired min.x hiding under a clev- er expression of angelic innocence? Suddenly she will surprise you by allowing you to discover that she has a deep expressive voice which she uses only on very special occasions, gang reunions for instance. She takes ad- vanta.ge also of graphic gestures to em- phasize her meaning. What would the gang do without .-Kgnes. who daily brings color into our lives and insists upon adorning her brunette beauty with Red. Does this arouse your curiosity : In her Senior year, however. Agnes became more demure. Do you think her fickleness iucstionable? eo HELEN CAMPBELL Catawissa. Pa. Catawissa High School Helen Almost every aitcrnooii you can sec a tair maiden run briskly down the hill. That is Helen, trying to catch the early car home. For Helen is another of our commuters from Catawissa. Helen is a great talker — but she al- ways has something interesting to say. so no one is ever bored. Helen believes in the maxim Never put off until to-morrow what you can do today. and she always has her work completed on time. Her tastes run to Art and she is skill- ful alike with pencil and brush — wit- ness the table in tha Locker room. We foresee a career as an Interior Deco- rator if ever Helen gives up her teach- ing. Helen is a very popular young lady, and all her friends wish her long life, happiness and success. KATHRYN CAMPBELL Klinesgrove, Pa. Danville High School Kitty This young lady hails from the rural districts. How do we know? Ask Professor Albert. Vou will never lack for conversation when Kathryn is around, for one is lucky to get a word in edgewise. Don ' t get the idea that she is always talking for she always has everything right up to date. She taught a year and liked it so well that she decided to further her abilities along that line, therefore her presence at Bloomsburg Normal is ex- l)!ained. We hear she ' s making good in the training school and we wish her success in her own school. r. RUTH A. CARMODY Clark ' s Summit, Pa. Clark Summit High School Ruthie, Honey Vory !)retty. very sweet.

She loves History, and why should- n ' t she, because she is one of the His- tory sharks in Professor Brill ' s class. Kuthie is one of the few girls who can content herself with a good book.

Hilda, and you carry the good will and good wishes of the class with vou. Hilda, a gentle flower which can be placed in any surroundings, and please. She is quiet, shy. and lovable. To know Hilda is a liberal education. She can enlighten you on any subject, al- though she is especially brilliant in ' : ' : ' : Q.E.D. Hilda has worked untir- ingly, and we hope she will be duly re- warded. We hope life will always be as pleasant as Hilda. (j:i ? FRANCES COLE Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Wilkes-Barre High School Frames came from Wilkcs-Barrc to join our class in the fall of 1922. Frances is faithful (?) to her studies, hut more faithful to the town, when she is off the grass. She likes rid- ing also; and we wish her many more rides. MARY JOSEPHINE COL LEY Bloomsburg, Pa. B. S. N. S. High School AlthouKli Mary is a downtown stu- dent, her face is a familiar one in the girls ' dormitory. She is an authority on all matters pertaining to knitting, and can always be seen carrying a sweater-in-lhc-making. She usually car- ries a few books around, too. just lor the .sake of general appearances. She was one of the girls who represented our class in the Junior drama. Heaps of success to vou, Marv. 64 VERNA COMPERS Kingston. Pa. Kingston High School Vema RUTH CORDICK Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Wilkes-Barre High School Quiet, but al va s intent on some- thing, and .ijoing alter it. is N ' erna. She never make.s much fuss or does much talking, but she gets there. Her long suit is teaching music at Lime Ridge, where she made a .great hit with the entire community. Vc think she is unquestionably cut out tor a rural music teacher. In English class she was al- ways in the heart of the discussion, and had some really worth while opinions. X ' erna is a decided blonde, and does not pass unnoticed by the other gen- der. We know she will make a con- scientious and successful teacher. ' SliMiiio on .vou now. Ruth ' s greatest desire upon graduat- ing is to be located near Berwick. For this and other reasons, we all believe Ruth ' s career as a teacher will be quite limited. Can ' t just tell about Ruth for she enjoys week-end visits to Cambria frequently. The Class wishes you the best of luck whatever course vou choose. 65 EMILY CRAIG Catawissa, Pa. L. T. High School Emma Lou OLIVE CRAWFORD Bloomsburg, Pa.

Although very busy. Pcgg ' al- ways finds time to help her classmates. -As collector of class dues. Pegg} ' has faithfully fulfilled her duty among her locker-room friends. To look at Peggy is to know that she will make a crown- ing success of teaching. I think Peggy s opinion is well voiced in: Frieinls. 1 sa.v quite coniplainiDs.

About 10:30. when she could be in slumberland. she begins to work, and tlien the cruel (?) proctor puts an abrupt end to her labors. Bea then cries herself to sleep, for she does not like to work. For dry wit and clever impersona- tion. Bea has no equal. Where Bea is. there are gales of laughter. Her favorite expression is Try and get it, no mat- ter what the occasion. We know that she will be able to keep her pupils in a cheerful mood, at least. She will teach them something, too. if thcv trv and get it. 67 MERIAM E. DAY Taylor, Pa. Taylor High School Mem Can ' t yoii luar Mem answer quite saucily with licr favorite ejaculation: She ' s full of pel) and enthusiasm, which is at its height at a basketball, football, or baseball game. She is also a lover of tennis. Uerwick seems to be a much-frc- (lueiited haunt of Mem ' s, at least that is her e.xplanation for her myste- rious absences, Mem ' s special interests, however, arc science and domestic arts; and, thoii,q;h she spends a great deal of her time on these subjects, her other sub- jects are never neglected. Her reputa- tion as a proctor on third floor lon.u hall is unexcelled. We gather that Mem is a staunch observer of the student government association rules. The best wishes of your classmates are that you succcced in whatever vou do. MALCOLN MORGAN DERK Trevorton, Pa. Trevorton High School Mox Mox, as we all know him. came into prominence after entering B. S. N. S. because of his athletic ability. The work of Mox in football, bas- ketball, and baseball shall always be remembered by the students of Old Normal. Mox has great ability as a vocalist and in the beginning of his second year joined the Glee Club, but on finding out the Club did not sing his favorite song. Oh, What a Gal Was Mary. he quit. When Mox came to Bloomsburg the change of atmosphere must have produced the disease known as sleep- ing sickness and in this state Mal- colm can be found all day Suuday. but he generally arises in time for church. However, Mox breaks away from morpheus during the week and is never cau.ght napping in class, Mox ' s record at Normal forecasts a brilliant future as a teacher. - ' S LILLIAN DERR Rhorsburg, Pa. Rhorsburg High School This is the girl who iiives you a hearty Hello whenever you chance to meet her. She belongs to the Rural Dozen, but did her practice teaching during the first halt of our Senior year. She thoroughly enjoyed it and we are sure the children always welcomed her. -Anyway, if she teaches like she tells stories how could they help themselves. With your happy view of life and ever willingness to pull or push, what - ever you try in your rural school next year will go through. We almost feel the wave of enthusiasm which will radiate from your school room. Vour e.xperience before coming to Normal U ill save you from many unwise turns. Yes, Lillian, we ' ll be sure to hear about Pennsylvania ' s new. ideal rural school. Here ' s our best wishes for a bright and happy future. ALVA DIEHL Pottsgrove, Pa. Pottsgrove High School .• !va came to Bloomsburg in the sumtner of 1921. but she joined the class of ' 23 in January. 1922. During her first semester here we thought she was a quiet young lady who looked with disdain on her more frivolous classmates. Near the last of her sec- ond .semester with us we had reason to believe that first impressions may be deceiving and that Still water runs deep. Her mailbo.x is a great source of pleasure to her for she has perfect faith in the mailman ' s fidelity in keeping it replenished every mailtime. We rarely see her disappointed, so she must have a very faithful correspond- ent who (we believe) writes from down the line. She seems convinced that teaching is her vocation for she tried it a year before she came here to school. We hope that she succeeds in her school teaching, and also in any other voca- tion which she may take up. 6i LOIS DODSON Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Wilkes-Barre High School O. who will walk a mile with me Aloujr life ' s merry wjiyV Lois must believe in re-incarnation, since she dances the minuet so divinely. But dancing is not her only accom- plishment; she possesses a cheerful and sunny disposition. The unfortunate shut-ins to whom she carries trays do not profit so much by them, as by the sunshine which she serves. Lois has plenty of pep. too. Just watch our Girls ' Basketball Team. Thru this lively nature and her firm belief in co-operation she has accomplished much — both in teaching and in sports. Her love for music has been dis- played at various Y. W. C.

The dancing exhibitions which Peggv- gave were clever devices to break the monotonous hours of school life. And what a line school teacher she will make ' . We predict no dull hours for the pupils who will be fortunate enough to be under her instruction. Our school days have been made happier by her and we shall keep her in our memory, linked within the bonds of true friend- ship. 70 ELVA DRESHMAN Ashland, Pa.

One of her out.standing characteris- tics is unselfishness. ' She is never satisfied unless she is sharinjj her pos- sessions with others. Elva delitrhts in fun and pleasure ar.d is very optimistic. She always has a Kood story to tell about the Smoky City and revealing the contents of some of the Paijjes of the book of her life. We know Lell will be successful at teaching, but we have our doubts at her teaching until she is pensioned. Lell is loved by all who know her and we wish her the best of luck. V I MILDRED EDWARDS Bloomsburg, Pa. Bloomsburg High School Keppy . nd this is Mildred — jolly and clev- er. Keppy is always in a hurry, al- ways losing her books — and always joking. Was Keppy ever blue. Xo one has ever seen her so. And the work he can do! Keppy just devours work and glories in it. Mildred is one of the ruling spirits of the Locker Room, where her slight- est wish is law. Children (and some grownups, too) love to listen to Keppy ' s stories be- cause she puts so much personality in- to them that they seem real. We all think that Mildred is the best ever and we wish her heaps of success. WINIFRED EDWARDS Bloomsburg. Pa. Bloomsburg High School Winny Cahn, uniufflod and unrumplcd is Winny. C ' onu- what may and j;o what will she has always been the .same dear girl, who is ready to help others and ready for fun.

Xo. gentle reader, the above person- age is not a nienil)er of the faculty. He is our class president, although his facial expression bears great similarity to the dignified expression usually worn by our profs. Raymond is a basketball player, but has never been inclined to play on the varsity. He al- ways donates his services to the Bap- tist Church team. Like all good fel- lows Raymond is fond of the lair sex. particularly one member of our class. and has always kept a certain distance from the other girls. It is his intention to enter a higher educational institu- tion, and make further preparations for his life work. He is a conscientious and w illing worker and always on hand at the right time. Whatever profession he decides to follow he will be success- ful, and with him go our best wishes. MARGARET EIDAM Hazleton, Pa. Hazleton High School Peg A (lark h:iirr l luaiil is she.

Peg is a willing worker, especially noted for the many things she has done for the class of 2.5 and the members of the Hazleton Bunch. Margaret is of a retiring nature and therefore was not one of the social lights of the school, but. as a matter of fad. was one of our best students. To this brown-eyed maiden we ex- tend our best wishes and feel sure that she will be very successful in her chosen profession. HELEN EIKE Ashley, Pa. Ashley High School (. ' hcM ' ks like roses. Sweet as posies Two e.ves proinisiuj: bliss. Helen spends her time in Blooms- burg, and divides her thoughts between Bloomsburg and Bucknell. She is an advocate of the theory that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and consequently knows how to play as well as to work. A peach of a girl and lots of fun I Here ' s to Helen! H ELWOOD EISENHAUER Ringtown, Pa. Ringtown High School Monk Monk is a (|iiii ' t and tlunightfiil lad who hails from the- metropolis ot RinKlowu. following in the footsteps of snch noble characters as Sam. Jock, and Doc. In all probability, if he would spend as much time at his school work as he does shooting pool in the boys ' wreck room, he would be vale- dictorian of his class. Monk was a weakling when he joined our class but be has gained approximately 150 llis. by eating Miss Roger ' s hash. Elwood can always be depended up- on, and every Wednesday evening at ():45 can be lound at the V. M. C. A. meeting. He is very accommodating and always has a smile for everyone, although he systematically avoids the fair ones. During bis school career, he has worked very hard, and is sure to be successful in his chosen profes- sion. MARY ELLEN EISLEY Milton, Pa.

Her hobby is Art and Educa- tional Measurement??? 74 MYRTLE EPLER Northumberland, Pa. Northumberland High School Myrt It a pood face is a letter of rccoiii- meiidation a good heart is a letter of credit. A more faithful or conscientiou. stu- dent than Mvrtle Rpler never attended B.S.X.S. We make this statement in all sin- cerity and those who know Myrtle will need no proof of this assertion. Her fidelity to duty and regularity are amply verified by her being one of the honor students of the class. Though the young women at B. S. ' . S. are as a rule well behaved, never- theless some of them at times incur re- proof for some breach of discipline, yet neither Miss Kingman nor any of the teachers have ever had an occasion to remind Myrtle that she has broken any rule. Myrtle has decided to teach school at home and we have little doubt that a career of usefulness and hap|)i- ness is in store for her. We as the class of ' 2.5 all join in wishing her abounded success. MICHAEL EVANCHO Eckley. Pa. Mining Mechanical Institute Mickey Known to his friends as Mickey. He is a sober, and innocent young man. Mickey has never been known to make any noise in the halls or create any disturbance whatever. His mother has taken good care of him in order that he might not be spoiled, and she certainly has at- tained it. Mickey thinks himself quite hand- some and is a typical ladies ' man. He has even been found holding a girl by one hand and the cook by the other in the kitchen. Mickey is a diligent worker in all the studies that he is pursuing, espe- cially Art. Mickey has won great fame as an artist and as a dramatist. Alter grad- uating here he expects to take up teach- ing, in which profession every one wishes him success. ELIZABETH PEARL EVANS Wilkes-Barre. Pa. WUkes-Barre High School Betty Small, but — None know her but to love her. Betty gets out of life what she puts into it — good cheer. One day the .lunior class was observing in the kindergarten and Betty was mistaken for one of the pupils. She always has such a hard time to express her thoughts in words and generally fin- ishes up by saying, Well, you know what I mean but I can ' t say it. Never, mind. Betty, we can ' t all go by ex- press. Always remember when you get out info the world that your voice carries. I wonder how many years r.ettv will teach? RACHAEL EVANS Orangeville, Pa. Bloomsburg High School After completing the High school course at Benton. RachacI turned her attention to Bloomsburg. considering it a place in which she might fit her- self for greater usefulness. For a short time she was in training in the hospital. However, she found that such was not her niche for life. The Normal School offered her an opportunity to prepare for an enjoy- able task. She entered in the Fall of our Junior year, keeping her boarding place in a downtown home. Our big question, as Juniors. Which Group shall I take? she answered by select- ing the Rural. During the two years, the Rural Club has regarded her as an active member. Rachael, we predict for you a future filled with possibilities. Mental tests, hygienic and sanitary measures, and hot lunches, will be friends of your happy growing boys and girls. With the same vim and whole-heartedness which you enter upon the tasks of Nor- mal life, you will surmount the diffi- culties lurking in a one-room school. The Class of ' 23 extends to you a hope for the fullest success. ISABEL EVERHART Danville, Pa. Danville High School Ikey M iscliicvous — tun-loving — teasing — Ikcy answers to them all. She is musically inclined and does her bit in the Glee Club and the Mixed Chorus. Her ever-ready smile and her gay chat- ter bring her a host of friends. As to school teaching — our best wishes are with vou. Ike ! ROSE FARRAR Forest City, Pa. Forest City High School Rose canie to Hloonisburg in her junior year. Vc can ' t say that her in- fluence spread among a large number of girls, but those whom it did tinuh will remember her always. If she performs her duties in teach- ing as well as she did her work as a proctor we know she ' ll succeed. In spite of her own love for fun. Rose could squelch the girls and make them live up to the rules of the dormitory, but we could see sympathy beaming out of her very eyes when she scat- tered a group of noisy girls by saying, Get in your rooms, girls, it ' s five min- utes of ten ! J FRED FELKER Beaver Springs, Pa. Beaver Springs High School Freddie I ' rcddii. ' is a very social being. If vc accept tile delinitioii tliat education is modified beluivior, we certainly must say, that he is educated. He fits into any situation. He is always trying to help the other fellow. His successful eiTorls to have the Beaver Springs Girls ' Band give a concert here for the i)enefit of our class is an example of that trait. Freddie believes in standardized tests. He says they offer an easy meth- od of getting high grades without working. Last semester B was his lowest grade. Freddie is an able athlete. He has played on our varsity football teams for the last three consecutive seasons. I ' reddie is a baseball bug. The first night he had his uniform he slept in it. That shows his pride in the uniform. Last year he was Captain of our nine. He led the team in safe swats. That is an enviable record when we consider the other sluggers on the team. Freddie ' s ability in formal gym work is an outstanding characteristic. He is the personification of rhythm. To see him is an inspiration. Vith his back ground in athletics added to his gym work, the class unanimously see his fu- ture success in his chosen profession as an athletic director. MARTHA FENWICK Peckville. Pa. Blakely High School Here she comes! Who? The lark. Whenever we meet Martha, she is hum- ming or singing a tunc of cheer. She not only likes singing but enjoys all kinds of music. Martha is a great talker, too, hut we like her all the more for it. Vc are sure that she uses this talent very well in teaching. She believes thoroughly in spirit and pep at games or tournaments. She is alwavs there with Glad -ncss. 14: CHARLOTTE FETTER Pottsgrove, Pa. Pottsgrove High School Charlie MARY FLICK Bloomsburg, Pa. Bloomsburg High School she Ii;is Itri hl blur eyes. Aiul a riiiuplfxion fair; Sill- is tall and sw. ' ct. And lias ohlrii hair. Charlotte comes from Pottsgrove and brings with her a great many hearts from her numerous con(|uests. It is almost certain that she will return with a great many more, for Charlie is well liked by all the kids at Normal. Charlie seems so quiet, but appear- ances are often deceptive. Whenever there is a meeting of her gang, her voice and laughter can be heard float- ing gayly from her room, for the jani- tor forgot to give them a transom. Charlie will make an ideal teacher but the length of her teaching career is very doubtful, for she receives so much mail from a certain town up the river. However, we extend to her our best wishes wherever she mav be. V Mary is another of our downtown .girls. She is quiet and industrious but has a rcad ' smile and a pleasant word for everyone. Mary is ambitious; her chief interests being primary teaching and music. We hear rumors that Mary may give up teaching in favor of musi- cal pursuits. We know that Mary will work hard in any field she may choose. Success to vou. Marv. 70 ALBERT FOSTER Wiconisco, Pa. B. S. N. S. High School Speed King MRS. AGNES FOSTER Wiconisco, Pa.

But when war was de- clared, . ' Mbert was one of the first to join the ranks, and did not return to us until 1920. He did not enter the Teachers ' Course, however, until 1921, as he attended the Hiph School De- partment for his first two years at Normal. Foster is one of our athletes, enthus- iastic football and baseball player; he led the team as Captain on the the gridiron, in ' 21, and even though he did not have the usual amount of speed. played center in ' 22. In his first year. Albert roomed in the Dormitory and he always envied the other bo s. as not having any restrictions whatever, but, poor Al- bert!!!!! He was under the right hand of his better hall : for. as we all know, he is married. Mrs. Foster, although having a hus- band attached to her. is just one of the girls. She is jolly, fun-loving, and sympathetic. She takes great interest in her work and is a good teacher. Une of her chief interests is Nature Study. She loves to take good long hikes. She has a sweet disposition thru which she has won a host of friends at H. S. N. S. The Fosters lived at North Hall in their Junior Year, but are living downtown in their Senior year. We would like to have seen more of them at the school. Mrs. Foster is fond of athletics and may be seen at every football game. Like Postum. There ' s a Reason — Mr. Foster is one of the best men on the team. May much happiness and success come to vou! MADELINE FOULK Danville, Pa. Danville High School Mad We all love Mad Foulk. Why? Madeline has everything to make i eo- plc love her. Mad is the culmina- tion of cverythins; that is beautilul in Art, even to hersell. The effects Mad achieves in clab orate coiffurin.ij excel any that were ever accomplished in the Mary Eliza- beth Beauty Parlors. Mad is the one to ask whether color will jibe or not. if our clothes look well, or if we may wear this or that. Mad is the .tjirl to plan decorations and everythiuK hard. In fact. Mad is the Art Bug of our Class. Mad s final aim is Honolulu. If some day an auburn-haired girl is seen there on the beach with some nice man, vou mav know it ' s our Mad. EMELINE FRITZ Berwick, Pa. Berwick High School Tern Tern is our bright light from Ber- wick. She .surely put Berwick on the map. If you should see her walking through the halls thinking of Some- place or Someone you would think what a serious person she is! If you should see her conducting her classes you would exclaim, How interested in her classes she is! But if you should see her in her room or out with the crowd, well — that ' s different. She fair- ly glows with fun and frolic. Tem is a firm believer in the old adage. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. We can wish nothin.tj to o high, too lofty, or too successful to Tem, one of our best pals. SI CECELIA FURMAN Nanticoke, Pa. Nanticoke High School Ceil Hull ' comes t -il. This is a Irr- (|UoiU sayiiiK on back hall, second floor. as the melodious voice of our Ceil is heard resouudiuK through the corri- dors. We need never fear of our be- ing taken unawares by Ceil. for she always gives us due warning. We like Ceil very much. Her l)londe hair is very attractive and thi- person is yet to be found who ever saw wisps of it out of place. Ceil is neat in every way. Her room, even, por- trays the characteristic neatness of it- occupant. Ceil claims she is very fond of teaching and intends to remain in the profession, but judging from the con- tents of her mail-bo.x. we are suspicious as to the verity of her statement. Have a good time, Ceil, and accept our best wishes for success and happines in ever ' line. FRANCES FURMAN Bloomsburg, Pa. Bloomsburg High School Frances is a native of Bloomsburg and has been with us several school terms, including summer school. She attended the Bloomsburg High School previous to her enrollment at Normal. Though generally a quiet, peace-lov- ing oving lady, we have somehow ob- tained the knowledge that she sees Red at stated intervals, or at such times as he conies home from college. Frances is quite an accomplished musician, we have been told. She has taken up the special study of teaching in the primary grades. Although not many have become well acquainted with Frances during her stay among us, we certainly wish her good fortune in whatever work she may undertake following graduation. S2 RUTH GAINES Sugar-Notch, Pa. Ashley High School Ruth is characteristic of the best si)irit of the school. She is a Rood student and a capable worker; she en- joys hiking and outdoor sports; she is always ready for any sort of fun and she is a congenial companion and loyal friend. The main reason why the . . prayer meetings this year have been so lull of pep and inspiration, is Ruth s careful planning and supervision. -■Mthough you may not know it. Ruth has been the instigator of many of the funny stunts here at school. But the only way she has ever betrayed the slightest knowledge of what is going on is by the odd twinkle in her eye; and you must be alert to catch that. Ruth is always quick to see a joke. Sometimes her little chuckle is a cue to slower witted persons that something funny is happening or about to happen. Ruth ' s ambition is to be an up-to- date Knglish teacher. We are sure that she has the ability to succeed in this line of work. She says that she is mar- ried for good and always to her pro- fession, but we doubt it. MARJORIE GAMBLE Wyalusing, Pa. Wyalusing High School -Marjorie is the third of the famous danible sisters. She is one of the most p()]iular girls of the school because of her friendliness and pleasing personali- ty. If there is anything going on, she is there helping. Vou can always de- pend upon Slarge! She was one of the chief persons in hel|)ing the Y. V. C. A. to raise funds by selling candy to the girls at night. She ushers at many of the affairs in the -Auditorium. Vou can never find her in her room. One of her favorite haunts the last part of the first semester was the English Office. Did you know that she taught Knglish to a class of Juniors? She did. and very successfully, too. Marjorie is very fond of hikes and horseback riding. She is an all around s])ort. We know her life will be successful. S3 HENRIETTA GARRINGER Alderson, Pa. Sandusky High School, Ohio RUTH GEARY Danville. Pa. Shamokin High School Rufus IKnricita has a good voice. It is rk-ar and sweet. JudfiinK from the times when we have heard her at school, we feel that she should make good use of her musical ability. She is very fond of athletics and we expect to see her as a star upon the .girls ' team this season. She is also very graceful at Folk-Dancing and very clever at Jigging. Quite enter- tainin.g. 1 hear you say. She is. Even in elocution, she is not wanting. One fault belongs to her. however. She talks in her sleep! Her roommate is constantly warned, If I talk in my sleep, keep your ears closed. She tieluiijrs to fho Knrnl ClnW. Xiil fnr the ■•Fetes. She t;cM ' s to the meetiiiirs. .lust for the Eats. Ruth is a tall, brown-eyed girl of a jolly disposition. She came to us in our Senior year and has made many friends during her stay with us. She has made quite a name for her- self in the dining room by never saying a word, but the girls in the dormitory know her to be quite different. Almost every Saturday you may see Ruth boarding the street car for home. She says. O. mother wants me to come home, but we think there is an- other perfectly good reason. The rural group has been Ruth ' s choice, and she has already planned immerous changes to be brought about in the schoolroom where she will pre- side. We know with your ambitions you will surely accomplish much, and re- member Ruth, the best wishes of your classmates are alwavs with vou. 84 BERTHA M. GEORGE Freeland, Pa. Freeland High School Georgie Ilen- ' s to our iTtMU ' sie. A fricnii iiid 1 worth wliilr. Who witli hvv i h i U ' ii and hiiiirhttT. Is thiTt ' with tile style. Georfjic came into our mitl t at the bcKiniiiiiK of the Junior year from Freeland. It seems to us that I ' Veeland can well be called the land of the free when we see (ieorgie as she really is — a lass with a free and easy iiianner. She is |uite studious for if you should have happened into lier room before breakfast almost any morning while she was a teaching senior, you would doubtless have seen our dear Cieorgie writing a lesson plan or two to be handed in before first class. But that is not all that our Georgie is noted for. She is always on hand when any dancing is to be done in her room after ten. Don ' t let thom kid you. Georgie — you ' re a sport all right and a good one. too. Ve feel that you will be successful in your teaching profession and trust that you will keej) up the good work. Here are our best wishes for your success. MARION GEORGE Moosic, Pa. Central High School Georgie Talk about pep. ambition, charin and lovabilily. It is very seldom 30U see a person with these four characteristics, liut Georgie possesses them all and a good many more. She has won the lavor of all. Her ability in her studies lias brought her to the front so that she is now a member of the Faculty. Georgie has one weakness; that is. falling for ?????, and often becomes so entranced that she is not accountable for what she says. One day, the day of the Band Concert, someone asked Georgie if she liked the band, mean- ing the band on her hair, and Georgie said. Well, I liked the Symphony Or- chestra better. Your chums all wish you success, Marion (but that is need- less to say). LOUISE GILBOY Duryea, Pa. Duryea High School A glance at Louise would make you think that she is a very quiet and serious girl, hut if you visit her you soon have this idea changed. Louise likes very much to go for promenades. We often wonder what makes her visit Sands ' so frenuently. hut Louise knows a .good thing when she sees it. Not only docs she promenade on the streets, hut she takes great deli.ght in a hall promenade after ten. Does Louise ever worry? Well. I guess. She is always worrying about lesson plans. But in the end. she plans them well, and we believe she alwavs will. FRANCES R. GOLDEN Hawley. Pa.

She is brimming over with the wit of old Ireland and her smile is an ever present arrange- ment of her features. She has one of the kindest hearts that ever thumped and is a friend, true blue, solid gold, a person you can depend upon and some of us quite shamelessly have taken ad- vantage of that quality and her will- ingness to help. She has selected the Primary Group for her life work and that is where she shines: the children all love her. Slightly romantic is she. a good sport, and we all love her and wish her the best luck in her work in the world. S6 HAROLD GRIESING Ebervale, Pa.

Many think that sooni-r or later he will revert to his native calliufj of train caller. Griesing is a very capable busi- ness man and he holds the controlling stock in the Corporation. His interpretation of the ButUr Hy act is very aesthetic and emotional. Harold has worked faithfully for the interest of the class and the school as a whole.

She has a simny dis|)osition and is always ready for a frolic. Griff has learned from experience that it is im- wise lo play Dummy Church after eleven o ' clock. There is also a serious side to her nature, especially when it conies to studies and the opposite se.x. Griff has proved a true friend to all who know her. She is a girl to be trusted even on a journey to l gypt. We feel sure that Griff will h.e suc- cessful in her life ' s work. S7 ERNESTINE HACKENBERG Northumberland, Pa. Northumberland High School Hackenberry MARIAN A. HADSALL Beaumont. Pa. Beaumont High School Tiny Ernestine is one of our hard, earnest workers. She appears quiet aiul re- served, but once you know her, you will find her quite jolly. Although her work is never ne.i?lected. she is always to be found in the midst of the fun in Room 218, especially when stunts are a part of the |)ro,tfrani. She is much interested in tennis and basketball, not alone for sport ' s sake, but because the overweight table has no special attraction for her. She is specializing in Junior High School work, and spends all of her spare time in the Department of Biol- ogy, having made herself ouite indis- pensable there. We are sure as a future teacher she will he a success, and the liest wishes of her class go with her. Kaitlifiil. ' i-iuli- ' I ' iii.v. classiinitf ■ I :iD l I rue tills Is you. Tiny is small and vivacious, and is usually up to something. She pos- sesses a keen sense of humor which is a joy to everyone — herself included. h ' rom a distance one would think Tiny was of a gigantic stature. It is only her voice that is heard. .She is a very industrious girl, en- deavoring to live up to the olt-quotcd standard of a number of our teachers: ork while you work and play while ou play. Tiny has specialized in the pri- mary depailment. We feel sure that she will be a successful teacher in her department. We can picture her years from now as a primary supervisor. The best wishes of the class of ' 23 go with you. Tiny. GERALDINE HALL West Pittston. Pa. Wyoming Seminary Jerry Jerry comes irom West Pittston and is one of the best-natured girls in the dorm.

Say, kids, do you know what? and From Seminary? She is an all-round good ' sport, and always ready for a good time. We wish you the best of luck, Jerry, and hope you will never lose your sense of humor. ALICE HALLOCK Shavertown, Pa. Truckville High School A — is for Alice, so stately and tall.

HAMPTON Frackville, Pa. FrackvUle High School Edith is a quiet, unas.sumiiig lassie. In fact, we never know that she is around inilcss wc look twice. She is the possessor of many friends. who recognize iti her an e.NanipK- of the motto, Still water runs deep. We feel confident in iirophesying a noble future for Edith. MARGARET HANKS Ashley, Pa. St. Leo ' s High School Marg It ' s Three O ' clock in the Morning. Many times we have rushed to the Kec. room to hear Marg offer a sjjlendid interpretation of this modern bit of rag. Do not let my previous sentence mislead you. Margaret ' s ex- ceptional musical talent often leads her to struggle with Bach. Mozart. Beeth- oven, and other great composers. All her friends can attest to her success in this line. A great poet once said. Music hath charm to sooth the savage breast. If he philosophied further, wc wonder what he would be led to say of the per- son endowed with the ability to pro- duce the divine melody. To our minds, such a person would be the embodiment of all high ideals and noble characteristics. Of course, ou have long ago decided that, since Margaret is a true musician, we are in all truth referring to her own dear self. 00 KATHRYN HARDER Catawissa, Pa. Catawissa High School ••Kate HELEN HARMAN Nescopeck. Pa. State College High School W ' c here present our Kate — he of the iueeiily carriage and velvety brown eyes. Slie is a .girl of very traiuiuil disposition and we have never yet seen her ' fussed ' or angry. Kathryn is deeply interested in her work. She is an adept in the difficult art of Story-telling and she is very clever at making toys for children of the Primary Grades. She is evidently deeply absorbed in music, as she has braved several stormy trips in order to attend the numbers of the Music Course. Kate ' isn ' t much of a talker, but by her sweetness and graciousness she has endeared herself to us all. and we are sincere in our wishes for the boundless success of our charming classmate. Helen came to us from the State Col- lege High School, and has always shown herself to be. what she is; the dau.gliter of a school teacher. Not that this fact causes Helen to be less attrac- tive Uor every one knows her to pos- sess a charming personality) but rath- er it makes her one of the shining lights of the class. Helen is interested in sports and spends a great deal of her time playing basketball and hiking. She has selected the Junior High course for her work and may often be seen with her examination papers in her hand. Her practice teaching was done at Berwick, but who knows the reason for this selection? Maybe Lloyd can tell. Because of her happy disposition, we are sure Helen will succeed in what- ever work she undertakes. Best of luck. ;n ALICE HART Wilkes-Barre, Pa. St. Mary ' s High School Brown eyes, hoblied liair.

Wilkes-Barre High School Here ' s a irl we all do like, . ly. how slie likes to ilanee: .•She ' s jolly (iiie anil a ;: kkI sport. We ean sec that at a frhiDce. Have you seen a short, cute, little browM-cyed. brown-haired lassie, with a pile of books under her arm, rushing around to class? If you have you will know it ' s Arline and you won ' t forget her either. Or. if you happen to be in the hall s, you will hear her say, Oh, girls, couldn ' t you die! — then laugh, for. you know, her motto is Laugh and the world laughs with you. She tries to make us believe her heart is in her books, but don ' t let her kid you for those who know her say that she is devoted to Dan (cing). Fortunately B. S, N, S. is neither a dark, unfathomable care nor a desert, so Arline has not been wasted. Ever since she entered Xormal she has been somebody — and a somebody who is mighty sweet and interesting. Arline has a tendency to see the funny side of anything. NIany a nudge or indicating twinkle has livened those moments when class has sunk into the lethargic stage. Admired by all. and loved by her close friends, this is our .Arline. ELMER HAUPT Treverton, Pa. Treverton High School Tony Em Tony first made his appearance at school in the fall of 1921. when he dropped in on us during the third %veel of school. Me was out for footliall the first niglit here, and showed his worth almost immediately. At the close of the season, he was elected Captain to head the 1922 scpiad. and the success of this last season was in no small meas- ure due to his pluck and encouraging spirit, even in the face of defeat. He is not a one-sport man, however, as he is one of Normal ' s l)est cage men. besides being shortstop on the baseball team. W ' c arc all looking forward to seeing him take the place of Walter Camp as the leading figure in Ameri- can athletics. MARCELLA HESS Benton, Pa. Benton Vocational School Marcel Marcella joined us in our Senior year, after two years of teaching. But in the one year she has been with us, she has proved herself a live member of the class. She is a very studious little lady and an A-1 teacher. Marcel believes in fun at the proper time, too, and some of her witty remarks convulse hearers. We are sure that wherever Marcella goes, she will uphold the standard of B. S. N. S. and our best wishes go with her. 93 MILDRED HESS Benton, Pa. Benton High School Mildred is a very dcniuri- little maid- en. Although . ' he sconi.-; quiet, she can talk when she once gets started. She is a day student and came to us in the Senior year. She has already taught successfully, and we arc sure she will bring fame to the class of ' 23. EDITH HILL Berwick, Pa. Berwick High School Edith entered our class in our Junior year and we have always found her an earnest and conscientious worker. Al- though she lived at home and came each day on the trolley car, she is well known among the students because of her ability and willingness to help others. Edith is a great lover of children and they soon learn to love her. We feel sure that she will be a success in some intermediate grade, unless she follows her desire of becoming a foreign mis- sionary. We give you our best wishes. Edith. i, ' 4 CAROL HOTTENSTEIN Luzerne, Pa. Luzerne High School Did you ever hear someone near the elevator on third floor call. Margaret .[ones! expecting her to an.swer from the last room on right angle hall? If you have, y ou may conclude that it is Carol. She believes in saving steps. She warns the girls of her coming by her laughter when she is at the other end of the hall and sometimes — at the farther side of third floor. However. Carol is a jolly good classmate and be- lieves in looking at the bright side. Carol has shown special ability in costume designing and art. Since she has decided to be a school teacher, we are sure she would be successful in teaching along these lines. Our best wishes go with you. Carol. MARTHA HOWARD Wanamie, Pa. Newport Township High School Martha came to us in the year 1922. She lias always been studious and actualK- shines in all her classrooms. We have learned, however, that there is a great deal more in Martha than her smile and pleasing disposition. Karnest in her work, she strives to do all things well. Judging by Martha ' s very dignified walk, and by her actions, we are sure that she will make an excellent teach- er. Martha ' s many friends wish her ilie best of luck in her chosen pro- fession. MARY HOWELL Alden Station. Pa. Newport High School Mary is oiu ' ot tlic t ' lw uirls. we know, who is botli I ' at and fjood- naturcd; even rHnil)ing three fliKhts ot stairs to fourth floor does not make her cross. She is specializing in primary work and spends much of her time and en- ergy in printing perception slips for the children. Her ability in singin.g the dictation for her less fortunate classmates is unsurpassed. Although Mary lives in the city, her one ambition is to teach for a few- years and then settle down to life on a farm. As she has a continuous corre- spondence with a farmer boy. we believe this amljition will l)e realized. Mary, we are sure you will succeed, cither as a teacher or as a farmer ' s wife, and don ' t forget the best wishes of your class are yours. HELEN HOWER Catawissa, Pa. Catawissa High School Helen is one of the industrious mem- bers of our class and is known lor her thoroughness and careful judgment. . lthough she is always busy, she is ever ready to lend a helping hand. One ' s first impression of her (that of a very iuiet and reserved girl i is very deceiving, for we have all come to know her to be loving and jolly. In our Junior year Helen played on the basketball team, and so spent all her spare time in practice. This year music has become her hobby, so we know just what to expect when we visit her room. Helen has finally decided to become a rural teacher just like her sister. Mar- .garet. This position she intends to till until someone who can measure up to her twin brother Russel happens her way. Because you are so conscien- tious. Helen, we know you will be suc- cessful in your work. The class wishes vou the best of luck. 96 j-i- ' EMMETT MOREL HOYT Kingston, Pa. Kingston High School Hoyt Attention: This is one ot our Stars. Hoyt. the boy wonder who comes from the town of KinKston. For reasons unknown he chose Bloom in preference to Wyo- ming Seminary, and surely made a splendid choice. This Master of Cere- monies possesses rare musical ability and has delighted the boys of the Dorm on many occasions with his wonderful technique. Hoyt spends most of his time shaving in the boys ' laboratory. We have studied this prob- lem, and we are inclined to l)elieve that he is coaxing some hair to grow on his face. Emmett is getting to be a good dancer. The only mistake he makes is that he dances to his own time. We should not judge but are inclined to believe that he would become famous as a photographer, because, by the way. he was a member of the snapshot committee and has furnished a number of the snapshots printed herein. We all will agree that Hoyt is a sincere, conscientious and courageous young man. and is bound to make a hit in the teaching profession. MARGARET HUGHES Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Wilkes-Barre High School Marg Marg is the life and spirit of Boys Dorm Gang. She is noted for her originality and suggestions for a good time (especially knocking out knots??). When Marg entered Bloom she seemed as one to whom Love was a ridiculous word — but. Philo was some reunion, wasn ' t it. Mark? Never mind. . ' ll the world loves a lover hence. Marg will always remain dear to the hearts of the 1023 class. Ji7 JCDi y- r OLWEN JAMES Plymouth, Pa. Plymouth High School Ollie Ollie entcn.d our class in the Senior Year, after having taught lor several years. Everybody thinks that Ollie is a iuict and demure young lady. but. you know, looks are very de- ceiving. There must be something pleasant to the eye that attracts Ollie to the town of Bloom, lor actions speak louder than words. Love and charm are both mingled in this little Shorty. All success to you.

I won ' t forget you, generally sung to her by her chum. She spent a summer at Mansfield Normal, and from there she came to us. like a ship from Europe, full of idea s. She has spent the rest of her school life with us and she will tell you there ' s nothing like old B. S. N. S. I ' unice seems to keep track of the mails. I wonder why? Ask Eunice??? Xevertheless. we feel sure that with her smile and helpful traits, she will be a successful teacher. EDITH THELMA JEREMIAH Shamokin, Pa. Shamokin High School Jerry Tlielma — only everyone calls her Jerry — was a few weeks late in join- ing our Junior class, but ever since then she has been ri.siht oti hand. When- ever you see a peppy crowd, you are always sure to see Jerry. She isn ' t afraid to study, and manages to attend nearly all the Glee Club rehearsals, be- sides. A cheery siuile. and a friendly word for everyone — that ' s Jerry ! We wish her the best o ' luck. ADELIA JONES Camptown, Pa. Camptown High School HERBERT S. JONES Scranton, Pa. Technical High School ••Herb Adelia hail.s from Camptown. It may be a small place but Adelia ' s am- bitions were not. and so after finishing her high school course she came to Bloomsburg. During her Junior year, Adelia was very fond of Strohling. However this year, she can usually be found in the library reading some reference. We wonder whyr Adclia likes little children and we ex- tend to her our best wishes for her success in her chosen field of teaching. Behold our Editor I The man who has weathered the trials and tribula- tions of the year book all for the class of ' 2i. Herb entered our class in the second semester of our Junior year and we are very glad he decided to come to Bloomsburg. He entered into school activities whole-heartedly and his con- tributions to the Y. M. C. A.. B. D. C. and Class were a valuable asset. Be- sides all his activities he found time for school work and his ability as a student was very marked. Herb devoted some time to philan- thropy and his contributions toward the Sunday afternoon meetings were received with much better favor than given.

Helen ' s disposition has endeared her to many girls thronghont the Dorm. Her head holds both hair and brains. This is shown to ns l)y the ofliees she has held during her stay here. While floor supervisor of second floor, her cheery voice was often heard through- out the halls: Corriiinrs wcrr imnlc tu wnlk in. Not for littli- irls 111 i:ilk in. She is very fond of hikes to tlie Country Club (?). dancing, and espe- cially swimming. Her love of water is shown in her frequent attempts to give us cold shower unawares. Helen is one of the memorable gang. She is game for anything at any time, be it V. W. C. A. meetings or stacking rooms. Helen ' s motto is Ciggle and the world giggles with you. She is a firm believer in the fact that there is a little bit of bad in every good little girl. Perhaps this will account for her well known quotation, Plead with St. Peter for I know I ' ll be late. Best luck, ole pal. MARGARET E. JONES Laflin, Pa. WUkes-Barre High School Marg ' 1 11 know InT is In love her. Her favorite expression is. Wait a minute for me.

Really, to tell the truth, she might give you an idea about how to create disturbances because I think she is responsible for some that take place on second floor back hall. She is fond of hiking, tennis, and espe- cially dancing, and believe me, she is right there with the newest steps. Ask anyone who is accustomed to go to the rec room after dinner. Helen always has a bright and happy expression on her face, a smile for all, and a disposi- tion just as sunny as her smile. Is it any wonder, then, that Helen stands so high in our esteem, and always shall, for she has proved to be the truest of friends. FANNIE KASNITZ Berwick, Pa. Berwick High School You surely have heard of the Senior teachers in the Junior High School. Please take notice — Fannie is one of them. She is an untiring little soul in her energetic and patient efforts to teach her pupils in the Junior High School. Fannie isn ' t always saying what she is going to do. She goes right ahead and docs it. We love her all the more for it. Keep on. Fannie, that road is a straight one to success, even if it is rough in spots. 102 FRANCES RUTH KEELER Trucksville, Pa.

RUTH KEEN Glen Lyon, Pa. Newport Township High School Ruth makes friends wherever she .goes. If she is with a single friend or a throng of them, she is always the same. Her sparkling eyes and happy smile betray her sense of humor which makes her a good sport at games or parties, hikes or teas. We all recall her contribution to the I ' hilo Drama. The Silver Lining. last year. With her gentle and even disposi- tion, we feel she is bound to succeed in whatever she attempts. 103 VIOLET KEIPER Noxen, Pa.

Helen ' s favorite pastime is reading — on the trunk in winter, under a tree in spring, but always with a good book. Helen has one secret of which we have not ever been able to get an ink- ling.

She is talent- ed, there is no doubt about it. as music just oozes right out of her finger tips, and we all wish to tender thanks for those many hours she willingly spent at the piano, playing for our pleasure. . merry, sunshiny disposition is -Anna ' s and there ' s something contagious about her that goes to make her a favorite with both the girls and boys.

Most of Joe ' s spare time is spent in the library. She is an earnest, hard- working student, and deserves to succeed. We have heard that Joe is also an accomplished housewife.

I don ' t be- lieve we did. but since he joined our ranks, he has done much to put that little town on the map. It has been rumored about the campus that Klecs. on graduation, will take a position as sole agent for the sale of Kelly Tires. and we wish him every success in his undertaking, and we hope he will not tire of it.

Her startling episodes, such as affecting a coiffure a la X ' aleska Sureth. inti- mates to us that, perhaps, she likes to excite public opinion. Her most char- acteristic mannerism is, we think, her funny hysterical giggle which trebles up to Q. From our observation of her we think she is happiest down in .Sands, when she is exploring the in- nermost resources of doughnuts and lettuce sandwiches. We know.

A dependable and willing helper is she, who smooths down the rough i)laces of our disposi- tions by her gentleness. Because of your previous experience in rural teaching, your creditable work in school, and your desire to further the educational interests of the coun- tryside, we foretell for you an active and useful future. Go ahead, Mary, the future is be- fore vou. HAROLD KLINGER Waller, Pa. Benton High School Our friend Harold hails from the country district, and at an early age was inspired with the ambition to be- come a shining light in the field of Rural Kducation. He has always been a hard worker and has been a member of the Hash Slingers Association tor the past two years. L ' p until a few months ago. he had the reputation of being one of the fast workers in the dining room, but since Sarah has come into his life, he seems to have taken a diflferent aspect of life.

In addition to her general ability she is specially gifted in the field of art. We hope that she may have the oppor- tunity to develop to the fullest extent this talent of hers.

I If is a frn nl nf Man. Miles is not very well known by us because of his unobtrusivcncss, hut we are all convinced by his attitude and by the relations that we have had with him that he can be filed with the species known as man.

Miles is one of the best students in our class and you can al- ways find him working when we are fooling away our time in the Rcc room or Dorm.

Newport Township High School Goof A steady and conscientious worker, who joined our class in 1921 and whose co-operation has been a valuable asset since the very beginning. When Steve joined our class, he was a quiet and very bashful young man. but he has greatly overcome that weak- ness, as we all know. Goof. as he is commonly called, proved a success on both the gridiron and basketball court. Do not think that athletics are all that interest Steve, because there is also a young lady from Diniock who interests him very much. Here is hoping that he will not for- get his little escapades in the Bureau and his weekly trips to the movies every Saturday afternoon. .V lirilliiiiit fi ' llnw is lie. -V ne:ir.T .if thf B. lint ii|i ii Ills life then ' is a blot.

She isn ' t especially fond of city life and each week-end sees her hack on the farm. Fla.xen hair, hluc eyes, plump cheeks, did ou say? That is our Sarah. Now. you know her. Her characteristic scream is another identification. There is one peculiar thinjj ahout her hair; this maiden ' s one trial and tribulation is naturally curly near her face an I straight at the end. How do we know? Ask any one who attends Rural Club. Vou may be disappointed when you meet her, for she is usually very quiet, but she can talk when she once gets started. Tis in a rural school wc shall find Sarah when Normal days are over. We ' re sure you will endeavor to bright- en up the inside and outside of that school. Here ' s to vou. the l;est of luck. ARCHIE LITWHILER Ringtown, Pa. Ringtown High School Archie One of the illustrious Circlevilles who came to us in the annual migra- tion of able-minded students from that town. While at Normal .Vrchie learned the game of football and played a wicked left tackle. ac(|uired the etiijuette of love, honor and . . . social arts, learned to play the banjo and to sing I love you truly quite proficiently, these last two accomplishments were Uie to inner urges. Choosing a Lady Love has been a hard proi ' osition for Archie, although he attended many Ladies Fair while at Normal, his roommate says that he will eventually — for a girl who ' s first name begins with a Mary. .Archie ' s one great inspiration is to be a teacher of Biology, and we pre- dict that he will be a good one. Break. ISABELLE LUKASYTIS Hazleton, Pa. Hazleton High School Belle ESTHER LURING Espy, Pa. Sunbury High School Isal)i-llc is one of our ciuiet dames and appears to lie very studious. Un- derneath her calm exterior there is a .yreat deal of fun and merriment. She is always timid in doing stunts l)nt wants to keep up with the fourth floor bunch. Belle is the possessor of many friends who find in her the example of still water runs deep. Best wishes for your success as a school marni — until the right one comes along. V ft Esther by her kind and sympathetic nature has found her way into the hearts of all who know her. She is especially loved and upheld among her locker-room friends. Besides being an enthusiastic and hard-working student, she is a good sport, as was evidenced by her bravery in the lockcr-rooni attack which to gain satisfaction the seniors made up- on the juniors for damaged property. Esther always looks for the good in everyone. Her high ideals and her earnest endeavor to live up to these ideals assure a successful and noble future. 116 MARIE McGRATH Scranton, Pa.

Hazleton High School Mac Snowshoes Mac came to us from the deep blue sea. having been one of Uncle Sam ' s (iobs before he decided to come to Bloomsburg. This young man has traveled extensively and has many souvenirs from the places which he has visited, the most notable of all being a pair of Japanese slippers which earned for him the nickname of Snow- shoes. Mac ' s life on the sea developed in him a rolling side pitch motion and this is most noticeable when he dances in the Gym, but his alTiliation with the musical element here has developed in him a perfect sense of rhythm, and these two working together make him a very unique figure as a dancer. Mac ' s life at Normal has been a very busy one. He has been general utility man for the faculty ever since entering and he can always be depend- ed upon when it conies time for co- operation to put anything across. The jokes in the Obiter arc the product of his humorous mind. Mac has been a valuable asset to the class of ' 23. and when we consider how valuable he has been we fear to think what we would have done had he not been a member. 117 RUTH McNERTNEY Milnesville, Pa.

Her friends are not all of the feminine gender, as can be readily- seen from the thrilling letters she . gets occasionally. Ruth will leave us a full-fledged school-marm. She won ' t spend many years school-manning. though. It can truly be said of Ruth — . friend in need is a friend indeed. MARY McNINCH Berwick. Pa, Berwick High School Au G ' Wan Mary doeMi t eein to heed the long (and sometimes cold) ride in the street car. for she breezes into the locker room every morning like an invigorat- ing draught of fresh air. She is a very energetic little miss and she usual- ly accomplishes a great deal while the other girls are chattering. However. Nfary can do her share of talking when she finds anything worth while saying. Mary ' s practice teaching was done in Berwick and reports from various sources tell us that the children love Miss Mc.Vinch and are eagerly await- ing her return next year. A ready wit is hers, yet its shafts are never unkindly directed, and she can listen to another ' s tale of woe with such genuine sympathy that she can lighten the other fellow ' s burden and make herself generally beloved. Xone know her but to love her. Xor name her but to praise — and our best wishes for success and happiness go with her. ns MARGARET MAINWARING Plains. Pa. Plains High School •■Red ELMA L. MAJOR Dallas. Pa. Luzerne High School Rod is a real sport. No matter whether we decide on a coasting party. a wiener roast or a movie, she ' s ready lor it. One of the things she has gained in Hloomshurg is her appreciation of nnisic. There ' s a reason — Punk likes it too. Perhaps you have already guessed why we call her Red. That bobbed hair of hers tells the talc. •• ' PIkisc who ill thrive. Must risr at live. F.hiia faithlidly believes in these words and early every morning an alarm clock can be heard. Soon after.

Who is there that can forget her splendid work in nuisic? Klma is a country lass. She finished in her home school and then went to Luzerne High School. Her greatest ambition is to be a successful rural school teacher and make her school a model one. Klma has the ability and we are sure she will far exceed her greatest expectations in teaching. no IRA MARKLEY Beaver Springs, Pa. Spring Township High School Bill GENEVIEVE MEIXELL Espy. Pa. Bloomsburg High School Gene Our good friend. Ira. ln ' tli-r known as Bill. is a native of the village of Beaver Springs, Snyder County. He says the old home town is big enough for him. Bill first came to B. S. N. S. during the spring term of 191 ' He came back again for the summer session and again for the spring ses- sion in ' 22. He then decided to be a regular fellow and consequciitlv came back for the 1922-192.? term. Bill was a member of our varsity liaseball team for three years. He had a wicked eye when he came up to bat. Our opponents will testify to the truth of that. He gained fame by his ability to slide. Al school he confines his society to boys only, but Freddie Felker says the reason may be at Beaver Springs or that neighborhood. As a student, Ira has been a suc- cess. He is always disappointed if he gets less than an A for a final grade. He isn ' t disappointed often. With sucli a background he will have a hard job on his hands to keep up his reputation in his life ' s work, but we who know him have no doubts about the future favor- able results of his activities. This, dear people, is Genevieve — one of Prof. Albert ' s country jakes. And we ' ll tell you a dark secret — Gene really loves to work. We sometimes wonder if she is forgetting the old adage about .All work and no play. etc. F5ut in spite of the fact that most people think that she lacks a sense of humor. Gene can appreciate a good jokc — but she likes her fun in moderate doses because she has an opinion that we have come to the time to put away childish things. Genevieve is a girl of high ideals, and she lives up to them, too — every single one. And no one could have a truer friend than (iene. It is needless to wish her success, because she has al- ready laid her foundation for it by her work, hut she has the best wishes of ' 23 in everything she does. 120 MINNIE MELLICK Bloomsburg, Pa. Bloomsburg High School Min MARY MENSCH Catawissa, Pa. Catawissa High School Minnie is our idea of a real .■.tuclcut. Sho studies hard and faithfully and al- ways has her work prepared on time. Minnie spends a great deal of time in the Library. Minn is deeply interested in Na- ture Study. The greatest book in the whole world (in Nlinnie ' s estimation is the Book of Nature, and she is quite familiar with its pages. And she was Miss Mason ' s delight in Psychology. Minnie is the dearest, truest friend that anyone could ever have. There is nothing that she would not do for a friend. We consider our Minn a good ex- ample of the noblest type of American womanhood and we will always have pleasant memories of the quiet, kindly wrirl to whom we extend our heartiest wishes for success and happiness. Our Mary with the pleasant smile and wonderful red-gold hair. Mary is another of our friends from Catawissa — anotlier passenger of the Pooncr- ville Trolley. -And Mary loves to work! She is a very careful, thorough student and seems to take real delight in seeing how well she can do everything. Mary is very quiet, but she also has a sense of humor which sometimes breaks out unexpectedly. Mary loves little children and (as everyone with whom she comes in con- tact loves her), we are sure that she will make a wonderful Primary teacher. tjood luck. Mary, whatever your un- dertaking. ]i;i ANNA MILLER West Pittston. Pa. Wyalusing High School Ilniipy •II 1. lrt ni rnrcs 1 ;ilit frt-e.

High School Ox Ox is one of our day students, but he spends more time at the Normal than the majority who live here. Ox can usually be found in the library studying the Morris code. He would be- come very much alarmed if some fellow happened to understand it better than himself. Charles has the distinction of being Bloomsburg ' s original skyscraper. He stands only 6 feet ' i inches, without his shoes on. and can be found stroll- ing around with Max Long, who is 4 ' eet in height. Ox is a product of the Training School and has taught in the rooms in which he was a student. Charles has his Dodge so well trained that, without even a driver, it could travel from his home to the Normal and l)ack. He holds the record of mak- ing the most trips to Normal on a Sun- day afternoon, this being a total of 2 in the year of ' 22. Ox is a sympa- thetic and kind-hearted fellow and we consider it a pleasure to have come in contact with him. r2-2 -U - r EMERY MILLER Benton, Pa.

Madeline is successful in whatever she undertakes from teach- ing a Junior English class to telling stories to the children. One of her most frecjuent questions is. Any mail for me. Jerrv?

Many voices echo this ques- tion daily. By the very nature of the query, you may easily judge that she is one of the most popular ijirls at B. S. X. S. AlthouRh the standards by which we judge personality are high. Martha possesses all the lovable char- acteristics which place her in the first ranks. We hope that in the future we may have the pleasure of observing her. while she wins the hearts of her diffi- cult Junior Hi.gh School students. Martha ' s friends credit her with an un- usual amount of ability in planning mischievous deeds. If she makes use of this ability in her capacity of school teaching her future pupils will not suf- fer for want of well planned lessons. Mart believes that just to be good na- tured is to ' boost the world. MARGARET MORGAN Scranton. Pa. Central High School Peg Peg joined our ranks in the second semester of our Junior year. For a time, we began to believe that her heart was with us — but we soon found out that her heart really was in State Col- lege. This brings to our mind a certain instance (:r) — Here I am. Jimmy. Xow. Margaret, don ' t take us seriously. If you hear someone singin.g in the hall, you can almost be sure that Peg is around. She has shown her abilities in music in several entertainments. Dancing and tennis are her favorite sports. She is also a member of the famous third floor, back hall, annex gang: but. strange to say. she is never one of the disturbing features. We all wish you the best of luck and success after you, leave B. S. X. S. 1:24 HAROLD MORGAN Nanticoke, Pa. Nanticoke High School Chippey Though not (.xactly i-iithusiastie over school fussing.

Jeane is one of the second floor gang and believe me she is one we could not get along without. She has not only brains, but good looks and besides that is musically inclined. She is a good sport and ready for anything, but there is one thing we ' d like to find out — Which do you prefer, Jeane, a Dodge or a Huick? ' Although Jeane is an efficient teach- er, wc fear her career as one will be short, for judging from her popularity, we know she is not doomed to be an old maid. 125 GENEVIEVE MORTON Warrior Run, Pa.

Gene is a pal that you will never be able to forget. She helps to keep fourth floor lively. Boom — bani ' . turn around the corner and there ' s Gene. She has a larjie number of friends, which shows her delightful personality, as one of her best traits. She is full of inspirations and will help you in the letter line at any time. She also takes part in the square dances held after- on fourth floor. Just ask the floor supervisor. We know that Morton is going to make a wonderful teacher. She has every wish for good fortune and suc- cess from everv one who knows her. Hannah is one of the most indus- trious girls of the class of 1923. and if it wasn ' t for the merry twinkle in her eyes, you might think she was just as serious as industrious, but she is quite the contrary. Her spirit of helpfulness and unsel- fishness is quite a common topic throughout the dormitory. Every morn- ing at b o ' clock you will find her, pour- in.g over her books so that she may spend the remainder of the day helping others, or in answering those myste- rious letters from Scranton. Her special hobby is studying music in the girls ' recreation room while the other girls go to lunch. With all these fine characteristics. Hannah will certainly be a success in the field of teaching. Here ' s success and best wishes to you in your undertakings. NELLIE NAEGELI Old Forge, Pa. Old Forge High School KATHRYN NAYLIS Edwardsville, Pa.

Moscow High School Madeline Beatrice is little, but she has brains (and she uses them, too). She has also plenty of pep, as those who see her perform in gym can testify. And her bump of curiosity is hijithly devel- oped — for Bea is forever asking ques- tions. She must know about ever - thing which conies to her notice. She is especially interested in the sub- ject of sociology and plans for social welfare work are always uppermost in her mind. Bea loves an argument, as the girls who travel in her direction at vacation times arc aware, and she ' s a whizz at it too. Never grouchy — always liappy. a hard worker and a good sport, too — that ' s the little Nelson girl, and we proh|)hesv a brilliant future for our Bea. Madeline has been with us two years. In that short time her two great char- acteristics, patience and perseverance, have been revealed. She like the most of us. has had her dark hours, but in the midst of them she has stood tirnily. We can base our expectations for her fulfillment of these promises on everything that she has undertaken. One of these is her chorus work. Wherever the nii.xed chorus or glee club assembled, we were sure to spy out Madeline, ever ready to do her part. Xo problems arising from teaching or any other great work will baffle Madeline, we know, for Perseverance and Patience will do wonders. I2S 1 H H 1 1 r lr l J .. B MARY O ' BRIEN Miners Mills, Pa.

Her advice is always sought when questions of color and dress arise, for Anne ' s decision upon such lines cannot be disputed. Her ab ility to teach art was discovered early in her Junior year and continued throughout her Senior year. W ' c all wonder why our quiet little Anne likes second floor long hall so well. There is a very good reason. Her talent in answering phone calls is just as great as that of art. Anne seems to be very quiet and dignified, but when a good time is planned she can always be depended upon to join in the fun. All those who know her love her. Your friends, Anne. wish you all happiness and success in your cliosen career. ELIAKIM PAINTER Vandling, Pa.

Some days life at Old Normal he- came monotonous, and it was at such times that Cora varied the grind of work with a visit to her Ainits. .Many were the happy hours we spent there.

Work before play is her motto. She tries to help all as much as possible, that is why the . ' rm twins visit her room often. Her present eating house is the Texas Quick Lunch.

Pratty is one of the gang who has won her way into the hearts of all who know her. She ' s in for all sorts of good limes and she ' s game for any- thing. Her hobbies are stacking rooni.s and sleeping. but Pratty never allowed her sleeping to interfere with her work!! However, she used her vacant periods to advantage. She is a good worker when she works, but her popularity among all proves she is not doomed to be a school marm all her life. ANNA PRICE Danville, Pa. Danville High School Pricey lirijrhteii tlie curiiiT vlii re ynu are. Pricey believes in scattering sun- shine wherever she goes. She is such a merry, happy-go-lucky lassie that no one can resist her. But with all her nonsense Pricey is an excellent stu- dent and ranks high in all her studies. Anna loves to make dolls and other toys for kindergarten and she spends all her spare time in the Locker Room, busy with clay and paint, making her toys. Anna is the fortunate possessor of a silvery voice, which she uses to th,- best advantage. We have heard that she is one of the most important mem- bers of the choir. Everyone (training school children and students alike) loves Anna for — Every tla.v we know Iier We love Iier more anil more. Every lay we liud lier Kiniler. sweeter than liefore. Best wishes for all that is best in life to our dear little comrade. ANNA PURSEL Bloomsburg, Pa. Bloomsburg High School This fair-haired, sray-rytd maid liad scarcely joined us wlicii she bcKaii to attract all those who met lier by her sunny smile and cheerful disposition. We tried to discover the reason for these unusual traits, but finally were forced to f;ive up in despair and decide it was just her nature. She is generous and kind-hearted, and we also happiii to know that she can cook, sew, and keep house well enough to turn a Do- mestic Science teacher Ki ' een with envy. Perhaps she will use her knowledge and keep house for her brother (?). Whatever she does we are sure she will carry out her plans well and be successful in her work. LOUIS PURSLEY Laureltown. Pa. Laureltown High School Pursley Louis has always gone his way with- out interfering with anybody. He en- tered our class in the Senior year hav- ing taught school before entering Bloomsburg. During the time he has been with us we have learned to real- ize that he is the possessor of qualitie. which usually land a man on the top rung. That Xormal life is bound to change a man can well be seen in this student. Ves. student. for he holds the record in all of his classes lor be- ing prepared. Louis has decided views on Educa- tional i roblems. and sometimes we arc inclined to think that notwithstanding his avowal to the contrary he will some day be an eminent Educational Measure- ment expert. Unlike most of the Nor- mal men. he doesn ' t devote his atten- tions to any of the fair sex. He is a hard working student. A good fellow is Purslev. 136 -U ELIZABETH RANSOM Wyalusing, Pa. Wyalusing High School Betty Bfttv is a ijreat hiker and likc iioth- iiiK better on cold clay than to tramp to Kast Bloomsburg. Wc wonder why? She has one of the sweetest disposi- tions of the girls in the dorm, as her many friends will affirm. She never has an unkind word for anyone. Paint- ing is her special hobby. Ask Miss Runyan. Betty is lots of fun and a ,1, ' ood sport as well as a conscientious teacher, even though she is often heard to sav. Oh. those kids will drive me wild. In spite of this, we know she will make a splendid school teacher. May hick and the good wishes of your fel- low-students go with you. Betty. HENRIETTA REEDER Turbotville. Pa.

To learn and play the kinder game — She ' s sometliin;; of an artist, too. l- ' act — there ' s not much she cannot do. So here ' s to success along life ' s way. Whether she teaches a year or a day. Lulu was among the number who came to join our ranks at the btjiin- ning of our senior year. She gave some ol us the impression at first that she was rather quiet and reserved, but after becoming better ac(|uainted with her we concluded differently. She is energetic, wide awake and studious as might be guessed from her success in class work and teaching. Class work loes not take all of her time, however, lor she works in the dining room and is one of our most efficient waitresses. She finds time for fun and frolic as well as for work and is a valuable member of any fun-seeking party. She has many friends, several of whom are among the opposite se. . You ' re a friend valued by all of your classmates. LuUi. and our wishes for success go with you. HELEN RICHARD!= Moosic, Pa. Scranton Central High School ■oil. Kill: -Kavorilc ■ .viircs.-intli. Helen i.s always busy doiiiR some- thing? She is great lini and great help. Whenever you see Helen ' s black eyes getting especially snappy, you may be sure something is going to hap- pen then and there. If there needs l)e any Urn. Helen is there to gather it or be the tun itself. Helen is very sympathetic. If any people need any kind of attention, she is never too busy to give it to them. Helen has patients and patience of all kinds. She is most willing to take care of us all. Look for Helen in any group, always happy and making everyone interested in life in general. LEROY RICHARDS Elysburg, Pa. Elysburg High School Does he look as if he were prepared lor this picture? He said that he was not: evidently the birdie piped too soon. We are very sorry that he has been in our midst but one year lor he has been a helpful classmate and solved the difficult problem of How to Get in the Movies Free. with the daily mail for an excuse. We Seniors are ke|)t quite busy, yet Leroy tinds time to carry on prolonged conversations over the wire with one whom he says is his wife. Does this account for his desertion of the Xor- mal everv week-end? 139 ;i HELEN RICHIE Bloomsburg, Pa. Bloomsburg High School She isn ' t too proud or too haughty. She isn ' t too good or too nice, She doesn ' t do things that are naUKhtv. Nor dispense with her own good ad- vice; But is just a sweet, sensihle sort of a .girl. The kind tliat all of us like.

Ask Helen what she likes to do best of all and she will say. Let nie climb a steep, rugged mountain and when I reach its summit, find a flower — and maybe some lunch. Helen has a few disciples. too. She is trying, like Rousseau, to bring man back to nature. and. by the results, we predict that her plans will be carried out successfully. Helen has chosen the primary group as her special field in the teaching pro- fession. Such a tiny, lovable girl could l)e none other than a great success. Helen proved the statement to be true that. To have a friend, we must be one. Helen ' s friends are numer- ous, indeed. Best wishes of the class go with you. Helen, in whatever vou undertake. 140 ETHEL B. KIEL Elmhurst, Pa.

She came to Hloonisburir to finish her last year of Ili h School work and joined us in our Junior year. She is well known, and why shouldn ' t she be: Vc well know that she is just crazy about Ancient History (?). but that is not the only thinp; our Rielly is in- terested in. We will give you three guesses!! N ' cvcr mind, dear friend, you are a good sport, and even though you were so fortunate (?) as to get the chicken pox in your senior year we know that you did not cause an epidemic, for on your return to dear old Xornial you found us well and happy. We wish yon success as you travel the walks of life, and may you he one to grasp every opportunity that comes vour wav. BEULA ROBBINS Shickshinny, Pa. Shickshinny High School Beula came to us from Shickshinny and is one of our little .girls; but in this case again it is (juality not quan- tity that counts. She has a very happy disposition and is always ready to help someone. As a result she is often called upon by classmates and friends who are in need of assistance. She is very efficient in classwork and we pre- dict for her a bright and happy future in the teaching profession. Our best wishes for good luck go with vou, Beula. 141 PEARL ROBBINS Shickshinny, Pa.

Per- haps this is one reason why she is so well liked. Also her bright smile attracts to her many friends. The merry twin- kle in her eyes shows that she is al)le to appreciate a good joke even w hen it is lemonade and on herself. Pearl has a way of going about her work with as little fuss as possible. She always accomplishes what she sets out to do. but this fact has not made her in the least conceited. It is a pleasure to know Pearl, for in truth she is that pearl of great price. a good friend. RUTH ROBBINS Briar Creek Berwick High School Ruth is well known and loved, espe- cially among the locker room gang. In her quiet winsome way she has done a great deal toward smoothing over the ditViculties of her classmates. She ha been with us only during this year. But in that short time she has won her way into our hearts by her quiet, sweet smile. Keep on smiling. Ruth, and you will fmd that the world will smile back at vou. 14; ELIZABETH ROBINSON Jersey Shore, Pa. Jersey Shore High School Betty ••On sc -iiiiil ll.iiir fniiir, slii ' is thr jf ' i ' l.

She is an all around good sport and pal.

ROHDE Dorranceton, Pa. Dorranceton High School Thorndike DILYS P. ROWLANDS Edwardsville, Pa. Edwardsville High School DU Thorndike is a vcrital)lo battering ram in a football game. Uurint; bis slay with us he has contributed very much to the success of our football team. In spite of his knoekiuK ability he jiossesses ideas, which no human being is capable of fathoming. He has a great love for music, being a great violinist — next to Krcisler. While playing in church, his soul is in his music, but his thoughts are about a certain one in the con.gregation. He also possesses a very fine voice??:; — for a huckster wagon. Thorndike ' s interests run along different lines: Science, Music, and even along the feminine line. Last Fall Henry was struck by a Carr and his heart was pretty badly damaged, but in spite of this injury Henry is seen traveling around better than ever. He also has a great interest in afternoon hikes, especially if he has coni])any. Henry is a dependable young man and no matter what you ask him to do you may be sure it will be done right. Here is luck, Old Top. we know that vou will be a success in life. Besides being the happy go lucky pal, Dil is Captain of the Senior Basketball team. She was a weakling when she joined our class last year, but this year has become a member of the well known heavy four of the school. Dil takes a great delight in playing basketball and was the outstanding star in the game between the Juniors and Seniors last year. Her great delight is mainly eating and sleepin.g until the sun is well up. Dil has shown us that she has a musical voice and often en- tertained us with her delightful singing. 1-14 ¥ ELIZABETH RUDDY Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Wilkes-Barre High School Betty Have you bi-cii lortunate enouKh to tall under the spell ot two large shin- ing blue orbs which speak so express- ively tor their owner that she seldom finds it necessary to exercise her vocal cords? When you refer to eyes at B. S. N. S.. everyone must immediately conjure a picture ot our sweet, lovable Betty. It might be in accord to mention some of her admirable characteristics, but since the eyes are said to be the windows of the soul. I advise you to take a peep for yourself. At present Betty pretends to be satisfied with her chosen profession. But even a casual observer would be inclined to predict that she would branch off into something more inter- esting in less than two years. Incidentally, did you know that Betty regards all golf courses aftec- tionatelv? ELIZABETH RUEPPEL Wilkes-Barre, Pa. WUkes-Barre High School Oh! That is Klizabeth. She is full of wonder and is surprised at almost everything. But nevertheless we like Elizabeth. She is a meek and quiet lit- tle girl who says not much, but smiles a great deal. She is the girl of whom it may be said. Still water runs deep. ' Elizabeth likes teaching and says that she intends to make it her profes- sion. Well, it may be so. But from reports and from observation, we hard- ly think it will be permanent, but if you really desire it to be so. Elizabeili. we are with you in wishing you the best of success. HARRY D.

Harry is well ac(|uainted with life at liloomsburg. having spent three years here and it was during his first year at this institution that he met the one who was destined to be his better half. Harry always took an active part in all school activities and was a very val- uable football man during his stay here. Harry has always been a .good stu- dent and his work at Bl oomsburg in- sures us that he will be a successful teacher. Harry intends to teach at Montrose and we congratulate this thrivin.g county seat of Susquehanna on its good fortune in securing such a val- uable man. Music Imtli i(s cliitriii In ttootlii tin sai ' ajre lii-;ist. Music is Punk ' s hobby and wheth- er it be a piece of Jazz or a classical selection, the ivories respond nobly to his touch, and his playing in the boy ' s recreation room shall always be re- membered. During his Junior year he also en- deavored to perform on the bass violin. Init Coach failed to appreciate his efforts. Besides being an artist in music. George is also an artist of color, and one peculiar thing about him is the fact that he likes Red, no matter what color it is. Punk is also the inventor of the radiator-radio, as he is found frequent- ly operating on the pipes in room 4()0. George has many good qualities and he demonstrated the stulT he is made of on the football field during the past two seasons with us. For his future we can only wish and predict a bril- liant career. 140 GRACE E. SEELEY Nescopeck, Pa. B. S. N. S. High School Bobbie Chum ■Full of ii..|i. With a inijriity That ' s Cluiin. Ill Tep.

Sadie is spending her fourth year at Normal ; she took her high school course here and joined our band in 21. She has a pleasing i ersonality and has a host of friends. Her favorite question to the elevator boy is. Has the last bell rung yetr . lie always waits till it is time for tht lull before she starts, but somehow or other always gets to class on time. The girls on fourth, front hall seem to enjoy her aesthetic dancing very much. Just ask them about it. She always has her lights out at ten (????). Her favorite dressing room is the back steps in the morning and she is most always one of the last ones to breakfast. The people at her table seem to enjoy her jokes. . he seems to have some attraction in the Poconos. because when asked where she intends to spend the sum- nur. her answer is Poconos. While at home she spends part of her time in Pittston. but the attraction there is one of her favorite Pocoiio girl friends. 147 JOY SHEATS Lewisburg, Pa. Laurelton High School Sheatsie Do you want advici- in tlic selection of a piece of furniture, an artistic de- sign for some garment, or the correct fireplace for your new home? If so. just apply to .Slieats and get the most genuine inside information. Perhaps you will be called upon to choose a good design for use in the decoration of your schoolroom. .Add this name to your already bounteous bibliography on all subjects. Sheatsie ccrtainl did exceptional work in Art .Apprecia- tion class. Since he joined the class only Ui l fall, after attending .Summer School, he has played on the football team and has made a fine showin.g. Sheats attended Hess ' S. S. with great regularity, or, in so far as it was possible for him to attend. He has been a truthful boy in our knowlcd.ge of him, but. in spite of all our trust in him. we ' ll expect him to die lyin ' when th ' sad day arrives.

Alice is one of our lovable girls whose disposition is sunny when she is not overtaxed with reference books to read. She has a host of friends in school and out. That is not all. She is one of our de- pendable girls. Whenever a task is assigned for her to do. remember she will do it if she is half-starved, half- asleep or half-sick. Whatever she un- dertakes, she acconinlishes. The senior class is noted for its many class meetings, yet Shippy is always present. Could you tell us why??? Strange as well as precious things come in small packages. Never mind. Shippy. with work there must be play. Doubtless success awaits you in the future, especially teaching little children.

Berwick High School h ' sther entered our class in ' )22 after one year of teaching experience. We have learned to know Ksther as a studious person, but she has a fun- loving turn, too. if you know her well. She is quite a poet when she may use a jolly subject. . lthough she seems very much in earnest in her work during the day, we can tell you something if you promise not to squeal on her. (She doesn ' t al- ways study evenings.) I wonder why? She is .greatly interested in Kinder- garten and Primary work. That ' s all right. Esther. Success. L 149 HELEN SMITH Berwick, Pa.

First, slic forgets easily. Never a day noes by unless Helen is heard asking. Now what did I do with that? Perhaps in years to come, she may overcome this fault. At present she seems to be Ret- ting worse. May we suKKOst a little of Dr. Cone ' s theory? riun, too. she is perpetually singinif and talking- in her sleep. Someone has constantly to waken her. fearing a nerv- ous breakdown. Well, she won ' t be sleeping (?) when she teaches. Well, there are lots of things worse than either of the al)ove. so don ' t give up, Helen 1 Vou counteract your faults with virtues too numerous to mention. All hail, the Reverend enters. Let me introduce you to a young man who is especially liked by the members of the faculty. All of our class has not become acquainted with him as yet be- cause he is a day student. He is a .Methodist minister in the metropolis of Beach Haven. Of course it is good to have a minister present at all times, but this one has proved of very little assistance to the class, for, on all occa- sions when he was needed, he was found fast asleep. However, he is a good all around sport, full of fun and a worker. For several years he has served the Methodist Church in an able manner and no doubt will continue in his good work. All who know him join in wishing him success in life. loO L ANABEL SOBER Bloomsburg, Pa. Bloomsburg High School ELIZABETH SODON Plains, Pa.

To tell the truth, she might give you an idea about how to create disturbances because she is known as the ring-leader of the Boys ' Dorm Gang. If ever there was a single individual on whom Providence bestowed many traits of character, certainly that fa- vored one was Sodon. Peppy, at- tractive, pleasant. cai)able. energetic, and a willing helper, she creates an at- mosphere of kindness wherever she goes. She CMii ilaiiee mid she cnn sinjr.

May success and hap- piness follow you ever. Gert ! HELEN SUTLIFF Bloomsburg, Pa. B. S. N. S. High School Helen has an advantage. She has a home off campus yet on campus. We often envy her because she may sit on her porch and view us yet across the street and be with us. To live in town is a disadvantage for most girls because they miss so much fun. but we really feel that Helen lives under ideal conditions. She is always ready lor fun. though even her work in the Kindergarten is a pleasure for her. We always feel as if Helen had chos- en most wisely in her selection of Pri- mary work. Heaps of success and happiness arc our wishes for her. WENDELL SWARTZ Milton, Pa. Milton High School Swartz MARY SWEENEY Shenandoah, Pa. Shenandoah High School Whenever this youun man enters a room, he seems to carry with him a hrisk breeze of cheerfulness, which lias the power to dispel any clouds of ylooni that may have settled upon the occupants. . X frown has no chance for existence in the presence of his good- natured grin. His friendly spirit has a practical manifestation in his willingness to help others. This willing disposition he car- ries with him wherever he goes. Per- haps this is the reason why his favorite e. |)ression is all right. He seems to enter whole-heartedly into the task at hand. In classroom he maintains an open mind; he is ready to listen to con- structive criticism, which fact we think is an indication of future success. Wendell does not like to be held in suspense, witness his declaration, Give me liberty or give me death. Mary ' s ever ready wit ,ind good-na- tured ways have won her many friends. Mary takes matters in an easy-going way. She i s naturally bright and can get through pell mell with little effort and worry. Her teaching in the Train- ing School has been so splendid that we are sure she will be a credit to 1 ' . .S. N. S. wherever she goes. Mary is determined and quite capable of taking her own part when occasion arises. She is also willing to help her friends out of difficulties and can al- ways be depended upon as a helper in times of need. She ' s a good sport in times of fun and frolic. We all adnn ' re Mary for her frank- ness in dealing with everyone and as she goes forth in life, the very best wishes of the class of ' 23 go with her. 153 MABEL H. SWETTMAN Hazleton, Pa.

That is the way Mabel has been coniin.ij in ever since her arrival from Hazleton llisli School in our Junior Year. Mabel is a jolly Kirl, always ready for a good time, especially to eat. Now, do not think she lives to eat. for she often nianaRcs on two meals a day. with breakfast omitted, of course. She is never really quiet unless she is asleep and then — but perhaps you have heard her. During our Senior year Mabel held the position of tire-chief on Fourth floor. Vc shall never forget the night the false alarm rang and. poor girl, she feared some would perish in the flames, or be fined fifty cents, so she rubbed her knuckles through pounding on the doors. When everyone was ready — Girls — was heard, and we scampered into our rooms. Perhaps you think that Mabel never studies. Quite the contrary. When there is anything to be done, she never hesitates to do it. She is always ready to lend a helpin.g hand to her fellow classmates. May we wish you a happy and pros- perous future. MARGARET TALBOT Shickshinny, Pa. Shickshinny High School Peg Peg is undctinable. but we know what she was made tor — to love and be loved. Her smile — it is irresistible.

Whenever you want someting done and done well, go to Eva. We always think of her as the one who can sew. cook, in fact do most anything wc really want done. Eva is always busy working: she is mighty studious. To us this is a rare mixture worthy of great praise. Last year we scarcely knew her. but true to the old saying still water rinis deep. wc find her now a jolly, help- ful, true friend. loli DOROTHY TITMAN Dimmock. Pa. Dimmock High School Hello, kids. That is our Dot. Her Sracious smile and winnnig ways have made Dot a favorite with all her Dorm pals and others too. You ought to see Dot playing tennis, basketball, and baseball. She can skate, too, as we have heard. But that is not all. If Dot had not come to Xornial with us. we should indeed have been very much the poorer tor not having heard her play the piano. She has. as they say. a soul for music. and when she takes her position on a camp stool in front of the piano in the ,gyni, and puts her nimble fingers to the keys, not one in the g m is able to make his feet behave. Yv ' e wish you the best of luck. Dot. and hope you may some day win fame through your musical talent- . ANNE KATHRYN TOWNSEND Blcomsburg. Pa.

We hear that Kathryn is making a success of her teaching in the Train- ing School. Perhaps fond remem- brances of her own days as a Model- ite enable her to better understand and deal with her pupils and their pranks. Recently Kay acquired a fraternity pin. which leads us to believe that she has already picked out her future mate. Whatever the future holds for her. we hope it brings her much happiness. ].j7 MYRA TREBILCOX Plymouth, Pa.

Dick always shines, but not only here docs she shine, for she is always a present help in the time of trou- ble. Although she doesn ' t believe in doing things before they really have to be done, by some special guiding provi- dence she always does them in the eleventh hour. We know Dick will be successful in the future, for she always has been in the past. If ever you need a real, true friend just call on Dick. When she goes out from B. S. N.

Lucy has every trait that is really necessary to make a very good school teacher. Men are all alike to her. she says, but we know of one from State whose letters are very welcome and cherished more than all the others. Lucy believes in doing good to all, but if you ever cross her path you are sure to be squelched. Nevertheless, she believes in having a good time and she usually is accom- panied home on the week-ends by a host of friends. Her motto is Be on time for classes and we are sure that when the class of ' 2i parts very few will forget our dear Lucy Weikel. CLINTON WEISENFLUH Rendham, Pa. Old Forge High School Flu Behold Tiny Timl Flu. as he is familiarly known, is one of the best liked men in the dorm. He is a musician of rare ability and. as one of the directors of the Training School Orchestra, acquired nation-wide fame. No doubt after his departure from here he will take up this splendid work in his home town. Clinton has ahvavs been active in athletics, was one of the outstanding players on the football team and his work on the field contrib- uted greatly to its success. If you were a stranger visiting in the dorm you would have no trouble lo- cating this .gentleman because he stands seven feet four in his stocking feet, and it is rumored that after an extended tour with Ringling Brothers Circus he intends to settle down and teach the young ones — ??? During his stay with us Clinton has always proved a good friend and a stu- dent. He is one who can always be depended upon and nothing but suc- cess can come to him in his chosen profession. 162 JENNINGS WELLIVER Berwick, Pa. Berwick High School Jinx MAUDE WELLIVER Bloomsburg. Pa. B. S. N. S. High School As ha.s been said l)el ' orc — somewhere, sometime — it is altogether fitting and proper that we should list here the chicfcst of Jennings ' virtues, abilities, and class contril)utions. He perlornied a highly satisfactory service in the office of assistant col- lector of the dragon ' s teeth paid in the form of class dues during our Junior year. Then, too, he fi.gures in an outstand- ing manner in that famous interclass football match. How many can — remember? Truly, however, he is much more luminous as a star in basketball in his home town. The work Jennings did in decoratin,g for a school event proves his ability in Art and his appreciation of the right thing in that and on other subjects. He ' s an all-round agreeable commuter — even though he is privileged on that score — being one of the few who may como in late without being warmly greeted with a warning to mend his procrastinating ways. Since he was steadily employed in showing several groups of pupils in Berwick what to learn and how to ac- complish that learning, Jennings has gained much valuable experience in teaching, Just a real good — siiort. Maude is the happy, jolly girl that you think of from her picture. Of course there are times when sparks fly from her brown eyes and she s iuelches properly, but we ' ll not mention such thin,gs here. If you want a bunch of .grit, pluck, ambition, and stick-to-it-iveness just go to Maude. She is the happy com- bination of all of these. We find her true blue as a friend, and she is coolly- aloof to an enemy. She is not telling what she expects to do, but we wish her luck and success in whatever it is. 163 JOSEPHINE WESLEY Sweet Valley, Pa. Sweet Valley High School Josephine is another member wlui came to us in our Senior year, and she is one of the quift iminhers of the class (r). She had already taught and. soon after she came here, her ability was discovered and she was selected as teacher of a High School English class.

She is a faithful stu- dent during the week, but we arc in- clined to believe that she enjoys her Sundays more than the rest of us. for it is a rumor that a Buick frequents Xorth Street where she boards. Never- theless, we are all willing to agree she is a peach of a girl and we extend our wishes for many more rides and heaps of success. IW ELIZABETH WHITBY Edwardsville, Pa.

Fortunately the class of 1923 is not found lacking when Robert is present. Listen to his jokes, watch him carry out his tricks, and you will know him. On the stage he is unsur- passed. Ballet dancing, with a news- paper wrapped about him for a skirt, is a favorite performance. His renowned distinction as an actor is based upon his ability to chan.ge from a sancti- monious bishop pleading for money, to a submissive victim of Maggie ' s roll- ing pin. His jokes and artistic draw- ings would change the expression on the face of a saint. However, all is not nonsense with Robert; he works rapidly if you are successful enough to get him started. He renders valuable service to the Bureau of Research as a stenographer and entertainer. Here ' s hoping Robert ' s humor will spread far and wide. 167 KATHERINE WOLVERTON Bloomsburg, Pa.

He does not believe in doing things halfway and comes to the aid of every- one in distress, especially in the Indus- trial Arts course. He docs not easily get excited but is one of those easy-going fellows who takes things as they come. He is a man from whom we expect great things in the future and we wish him success in everything he under- takes. 16S JEAN YOUNG Alden Station Newport Township High School Jean Jean is the proprietor of the gos- sip joint on third floor annex. Her room has had a bad standing with Miss Kingman at various times in its his- tory — but the joke of it is. that it isn ' t Jean who makes the noise, but her guests who do it. Jean is really a quiet girl, though you wouldn ' t suspect it when you see her. When she does say something, everyone sits up and takes notice, un- til in a minute they realize, by the twin- kle in her eye. that she is only teasing someone. She smiles at everyone, and invariably greets you with. Hello, sweetie. I don ' t know why we all like her. but we do. and she is plan- ning to waste that lovely disposition and sparkling humor in kindergarten teaching. To the rescue, brave knight!

He plays so well that we who are edu- cated less in music can not see any im- provement. There is one piece he never misses in his daily work out. It brings tears to our eyes when vc think of it. It is Schubert ' s Serenade. It certainly is emotional. The author knows one person who commits mur- der mentally every time he hears it.

She has won through her cheery disposition and winning smile a host of friends during her two years stay at Xormal. One of Helen ' s re- deemin.g features is her never-ending flow of conversation. She also thinks that a woman who does her own think- ing needs but little advice. Aside from studying, she is very keen on hiking, tennis, and dancing, and football games away from home (?). Another of her favorite pastimes is stacking rooms. Helens motto is . light heart lives long. She believes the world loves a spice of wickedness. Helen intends to teach a while, and then teach some more: but I doubt it. for her heart line shows that she will never lead an old maid ' s life. Beware, lock! 170 LYDIA ZIMOLZAK Glen Lyon, Pa.

In its more dignified nomenclature it is the Bureau of Educational Research. It is a going and growing concern, cajjably directed by John P. Herring, Ph.D. The Bureau began its ministrations in one little room on first floor, and it has moved and grown until now it is crowded in six rooms, usurped one alter another along the hall. These rooms, in common parlance are called the Bureau drawers. ' This name is applied also to the inhabitants of these rooms. The things that go on in these rooms are dark and mysterious to those who never come inside, wiiile to those inside it is a fascinating workshojj — a constant source of interest and pleasure. To some, the Bureau is the insitgating influence of all the evils and unhappi- ness connected with school life, what with TxPA ' s. IQ ' s, EO s. AO ' s. etc. But to others, and perchance, the more thoughtful ones, it has meant a heightening of standards, placing the matter of credit-giving on the basis of measured, ac- tual accomplishment rather than on the estimate of instructors. These people feel that while credits may. in some cases, be harder to earn, they mean more when earned. Many, various and witty, are the jokes we hear about the Bureau and its people. We all enjoy hearing and telling them. But in the end. we all have to admit that the Bureau does things, and is a contributing element in the progress of the school. . nyone who has entered into the Bureau and its work, has felt amply re- paid for the time and energy spent, both in stimulating contact, and worth while practical training. — F. . n MS. 179 ISO OBITER CfWJ (Tdllicpiau Society . t the heginiiint; ' (it tlic school year the facuhy and student body found it advisable to reorganize the literary societies.

A. liad very noliccahly fallen (it ' f the last few years and with this sad fact staring the organization in the face, a dri e was made to secure a lOO ' y membership. Although the 100 ' f mark was not reached, the membershi]) is the best we have had in years. The ' . M. C A. praver meetings reflect the igor and sincerity of the re- ligious side of the students life. The prayer meetings ha e been on the order of true revivals, both in regard to attendance and the s])irit of the meetings. The success of our meetings is due in no small measure to Mr. Morgan ' s indefatigable and zealous efforts and Professor Brill ' s, our religious guide and leader, sincere and earnest interest in the religious welfare of the students. The meetings ha e come to be more allracti e through a nuiuber of changes in the accustomed mode and form of conducting them. The organization has se- cured the Christian I ndeavor World, and readings from this paper are given l)y the members. X ' ariety and new and added interest has been secured by an in- creased interest and attendance on the part of meiubers of the faculty, and the sectiring of ministers of the town to give the boys a friendly and ins])iring talk. As a marl: of the high esteem ;ind regard the boys have for Professor Brill, they presented him with a gold-lilled fountain pen and ])encil. Mr. Miller, our stale secretar)-. visited us in . o ember and very clearly and forcibly im])ressed upon us the responsibility and duty of the V. .M. C. A. in fostering and jiromoting a religious atmosphere and tniining in the school. Through his aried e.x])erieiice in Y. M. C. . . work, he has become convinced that the student life is the most important jieriod of character building, and therein rises the need of the si)iritual leadershi]j of tlie ' . M. (. . . . Tbroiigh his large contact with students, he has been more and more impressed by following their subseriuent careers, that the ideals, the conceptions, and goals of each and every student will remain fund;imentallv the saiue in after life as in his student career, and therefore, the religious influences of schools should be strengthened and perpetuated. With much regret we slate the fact that Mr. [■ ' red I ' elker does not appear in the group picture. 1 le is an earnest worker and by all means should ajjpear here.

We entered into this new field with much en- thusiasm, and a willingness to bear the responsibilities of this organization. With, the aid of Miss Gill and with the student body, we aimed to have this organiza- tion grow from strength to strength. The V. W ' . prayer meetings this year have given us many valuable lessons in the art of living in harmony and close fellowshi]) with one another. Every meeting has been carefully ])lanned. Miss (iaines has not kept to the traditional prayer meeting idea in this, but has tried to give us something sjiecial to carry with us from each meeting. We have had some select and earnest speakers, in- cluding Miss Mary T. Baker. Secretary of Student ' olunteer Movement; Miss dill, and Mrs. Fisher. .Several of the students have given valuable contributions in the form of talks, stories, and solos. We have had some informal song ser- vices which h;ivc brought us close to one another and to the Christ we endeavor to serve. At the beginning of the fall term, tlic V. M.

A very delightful program was given by members of the organization, and at the close Dr. Fisher responded with a few remarks and complimented the men on their splendid organization which represented 100 per cent of the men living in the Dormitory. From a financial point of view the first semester was an unusual success. Several dances were conducted and other means of making money were resorted to. This money was used for making repairs to our ])ool table and purchasing equipment for the room.

His home is in Reading, Michigan. He is a graduate of the high school of that jilacc and also the Michigan State Normal College. Xot contented with such a meager jirejjaration for life, he resumed his studies in the L ' niversity of Michigan, where he became distinguished for his physical prowess. ( iood things cannot lie kept covered and. after graduation, he was immcdiatelv called to ser e in the Junior High School at Grand Rapids. Michigan.

Coach is not the kind of jiersou to brag over what he has accomplished, and from this we take it, that Coach was no friend of the Boche while in the trenches. La L rosse. isconsin. was the next place in need of a competent physical director, and upon returning from France, he was stationed in the high school there. Coach Mead ' s phvsical ability alone suffices for his being a coach, and as a side issue Dean of Men. ( If ou don ' t believe this, ask the boys). He is also very gifted in the art of chaperoning and never passes a chance to serve. He is also somewhat gi en to law, and probably next year, we will find a court room at old Xormal.

A real team. is tbe xenlict tliat was rendered by eritics - ery shortly after the season opened and no statement was ever better justified by the course of events. Coach Mead began the season with ten letter men from the ])revious year as a nueleus. In addition to these, there reported U him a number of men who had had experience on high school elevens, . mong them were : lirotherston. Boyle, James, Lawson, Xancarrow, . ' incavage and Partridge, lint the task of whipping into shape a team that could disjjlay le.innvork and lighting s])irit was by no means an easy one. However, Coach very soon demonslraled that this was being accomplished. The season began ausi)iciously when Sus(|uehaniia Cnixersily, aided by Dame Fortune, was able to emerge a victor by the scant m;irgin of 19-0. The first game at home wilh Dickinson Seminary resulted in a iclory for Xormal. But the real test was to come in the.game with Shijipenslnirg. Facing a team that out- weighed them tw ' enty pounds to a man, Normal gave an exhibition of jjluck and skill that has seldom been excelled on .Mt. ( )lynipus. The game resulted in a vic- tory, score 33-10. Success continued to attend the efforts of the squad during the remainder of the season. But even the most optomistic were rather anxious about the out- come of the contest with our old and formidable rival W ' yo. The Blue and White came here with one of those big, jjowerful elevens for which they have been noteil for some years past. To make matters worse for us. our team was handicapped because of the fact that a numljer of men were suffering from in- juries recei c(l in earlier contests. Undaunted, the team went into the fra -. Led by Captain Haupt, they disiilayed such gaineness and ability that nearly swej)! Sem off their feet. Wyoming was indeed fortunate to grab otT a victory by the score 9-3. At a banquet held following the close of the season, gold emblems were awarded the following men: Capt. llaujit, Rohde. Derk, Wiesenfluh, S. Lerda, Foster, Schwartz, A. Lawson, Morgan. Scblegel and Litwhiler. while sweaters with the B were awarded to Brotherston. 1 ' ;irtridge, Schwall, flo_ le. Xancarrow and J. Lawson.

Although there was plenty of material from which to draw, a hu,ge ta.sk confronted Coach Mead, that of huilding up a winning team. By untiring efforts and hard work Coacli weldeil tngether a lighting aggregation and a smooth working quintet. The season opened with a victory over Bloomshurg High .School. The team continued its good work, setting a pace which most of its opponents found hard to equal and conse- (|uently Ixnvcd in defeat. The team showed its ability in defeatin.g Shippenslnirg Normal by the score of 38-30. They invaded Bloomshurg with a record of nine consecutive victories and a claim to the state championship. However, the climax was reached in the games with Wyoming. As usual Wyo appeared with one of its large speedy teams, hut they were comii ' etely out- classed by the wonderful passing and all around work of Coach Mead ' s prodi.gees. The game at Bloom.shurg resulted in a V) to 17 victory for Normal, followed by a 28 to 27 vic- tory for Wyoming at Kin.gston, but the scores are no indication of the brand of basketball dis])layed by the Xorinal quintet. Under the capable leadershi]) of Captain Schwall the team established an enviable record. Having won eight .games and lo.st five to date with one game still to be played, scoring a total of 416 to our opponents 3.i8. The Varsity was composed of the following men: 1.. Lerda and Hanpt forwards, Schwall (Capt.) center. Brotherston and S. Lerda guards. Derk. Morgan, and Krolikowski utility men. The personnel of the Junior Varsity was as follows: Sincavage (Capt.), and Boyle forwards. Kane center. Nancarrow and .1. Lawsim guards. I eynoIds. . . l.awson. and Foster substitutes. At the close of the season the following men were awarded their letters: 1,. l.erda. Haupt, Schwall, Brotherston, S. Lerda. and Derk. Gold emblems were awarded to Hauiit. S. Lerda and Derk. A sweater with the letter B was awarded to L. Lerda. and rxeynoUL received a sweater with numerals 1923. At a meeting of the letter men L. Lerda was elected captain for the season of 1924. After winning the medal as the best forward in the first High School tournament ever held at Bloomshurg he succeeded in earning a place on the ' arsity. He showed his ability as a forward by scoring in every game of the season, and not once during the entire year was he held scoreless.

In the beginning of the season, a great many enthusiasts came out but the ones that came in at the finish were Herbie Smith. Xeal Hutton. Red Cham- berlain and tJ-x Miller. Tiiese four warriors showed the same pep and im at tiie end of tlie season as at the begin- ning. The tennis cause was aided greatly by the splendid new courts the school gave us. so with our school spirit at its height and courts in perfect condition it was small wonder the courts were always busy. With the good pace set by the season of 22 we expect big things from tiie girls as well as the boys this year.

He simply goes ' cause there ' s a reason. Next in line conies our Dean of Men. Who insists that the boys be in at ten. He has his faults, but they are few And nothing is too much for him to do. Wilner is a very thin lad. Who tried to give us all that he had. 1 !e told us all to consult Terman and Rugg. And we are convinced we have the brains of a bug. Prof. Albert refers to some as Country Jakes. . nd many trips down South he takes. He talks of mountains, rivers, and gaps. . nd always insists on the drawing of maps. There is one of whom all think a great deal. And this is a teacher by the name of Miss Steele. She has a smile for all that she meets. And with a pleasant Good morning the students she greets. At night when all should be in bed. Some poor student is working on History of Kd. Prof. Bakeless assigns twenty readings a week. Here ' s hoping a new scheme he will soon seek. We must not forget the man whom no doubt Is the most widely criticized and talked about. But he has the goods, and he is daring. We all know him well— his name is 1 lerring. Miss Mason has charge of extension work. And is always busy, never known to shirk. She does not spend much time at school But tries to get back once a week as a rule.
