We have witnessed two years of wdndrous growth. hen. as Juniors, our ranks were composed of ardent explorers who sought this renowned institution, as gold-hunters for fame and zealous aspirants for knowledge. e have produced brilliant statesmen in the field of oratory: valiant fighters on the athletic field and earnest explorers in the realms of science and art. We also have suffered defeats and misfortunes: we have passed through struggles to victories: we have experienced exciting times and have thoroughly enjoved eras of good sentiment, all of which have helped to make for us a most unique history. The pleasant memories of everv class seem to sink deeplv in the minds of its members. Our social functions have been manv and successful. Our dance to the Seniors needs no explanation: it was an outstanding feature of our social program. Our alentine dance also showed the splendid stick-to-itive- ness which we displayed in all our other timelv events. We leave our .Alma Mater, ever true and faithful, and carrv with us the lesson she has always taught us to strive for — Excelsior semper. Mary I. Dunn. OUR CLASS ADVISOR 2(3 OBITER aliHil MCMXXIV CHARLES H. ALBERT From the very first day of our Junior year everyone loved and re- spected Professor Albert for his sympathetic and jovial manner. He was a keen and interested listener to all of our trials and tribulations. e stood undivided in our selection for class advisor and Mr. Albert became our leader. Following his advice we have successfully attained the goal for which we strived two years ago. As a class, we may say we have enjoyed contact with such an individual who is, not only an instructor but also a true friend. He is capable of standing on the same level with youth, establishing a sympathetic understanding for wholesome activities. Upon our departure from our Alma Mater we feel that we are leaving one of our most sincere friends in Professor Albert. M. Norton. K O Z 28 OBITER d ' A MCMXXIV Elias p. Morgan- President Edward F.

Bloomsblrc High School Clara e are glad we have Clara in our Class. She doesn ' t have much to say when you first meet her, but after you have known her awhile she reveals herself as a very vivacious, likeable girl, with whom we are verv ' glad to be associated. In the two years that she has been with us, she has won many friends, and has been an ex- ample to us all of a real studious girl. Do you know, some of us hope that our quiet, innocent Clara, will forget herself some day. flv into a passion, and beat the band, just that we may be assured that she is human after all, and not too good to be true. We all know, however, that she will find victory in all that she attempts to do. HELEN ABERAM WEST WYOMING, FA. EST Wyoming High School Shorty This diminutive girl with the sophisticated expression, is the acknowledged leader of her class, in name at least. In many other respects, too, she is a leader — consult her record for teaching in the training school! When Helen makes up her mind to do something, she does it. and well too. For example, slie decided to play tennis — so she did! She seems to have an inexhaustible sup- ply of pep. A visit to her room is always interesting as well as instructive, for there one may learn the latest dorm gossip, and the newest styles as set forth by the fash- ion leaders of the school. A popular little miss at Normal School is Helen — may your future life be as happy as it seems to have been here. 30 C ' MARION T. ADAMS MARY FOSTER AMESBURY RIPERT. PA. y WILKES-BARRE. PA.

We are not limiting our good wishes to your teaching days, Mil, but are giving them for ever and ever. V M. RIA K. ANDREWS SLATIN ' GTON. PA. Si-ATiNCTON High Scsiool Marian Modest, shy. studious, the joy of all the profs — so Marian appears to the eye. How- ever, but there, we promised not to tell. Let us say. though, that one must know Marian very well to appreciate her. She is always ready to help one out along any line. Nothing that she has undertaken has remained unfinished. Marian also possesses that wonderful faculty of being able to make and keep friends. Slow to resent a slight is she. But dont get the idea that Marian is a prunes and persimmons ' ' person. Oh, no indeed! She manages to get quite a bit of fun out of life. For instance, re- member the loving cup episode! A friend in need is a friend indeed. So Marian to you we extend the best wishes for tlie future. ELLA J. AURAND GLOBE MILLS, PA. Selinsgrove High School ' ' Ella ' Ella is a modest, retiring little lass. She liadnt pushed herself much into the lime- light of school life, but that may be due to the fact that it is her first year among us. You see. she hailed from Susquehanna University where she completed her Fresh- man year. Her tastes tend toward the aesthetic. She confided that she loves painting and music. .She has spent some time in the study of music and it may be that we have not yet discovered some hidden talent. . Ella is as busy as a bee. Scarcely ever did you enter her room and find her unoccupied. It might have been a pen, a pencil, a paint brush, or a needle she was wielding; in any case, the implement was being worked most industriously. You ' re bound to come out on top, Ella: well all be proud of you some day. You have our heartiest wishes for success and happiness. SARA L. BAKER BENTON, PA. Bento.n High School Sally Sally is one of the liveliest members of the class. She has never been known to remain quiet or to allow anyone near her to be so, nor to let her studies inter- fere with a good time, for they are such worrisome things anyway. Her motto is. ' ' Eat. sleep and enjoy life while you may. When Sara received her schedule for the first semester she found on it ' ' Social Problems, so thereafter reported to that class. The greatest problems of all were those of Prof. Brills which were to teach Miss Baker how to sit in a proper position in class, how to hold her interest after the position had been attained, and how to keep her from talking at the wrong time. But since her interest is elswhere what more can we expect? We all know .Sara doesn ' t intind to fol- low a teaching career, but wc can picture her down on the farm where her many friends wish her much happiness and suc- cess. ALDONA MAE BALDAUSKI WYOMING. PA. Vi ' voMi-NC High School Donie Aldona ' s favorite occupations are sweep- ing the room and washing her hair, that is, when she isn ' t making lesson plans or dis- cussing her teaching problems. Donie always tells the gang that they will never have a chance to dance at her wedding, but actions point to the contrary, as she spends a great deal of her time talking to and about a certain young man. ' e predict for Aldona a very successful, tliough short career as a primary teacher. K.- THERINE BALL FACTORYVILLE. PA. Factoryvile High School Killy Although Kitty has been with us only one year we have come to know in that time that she has a most agreeable dispo- sition. If you wish a favor and do not want No for an answer — go to Kilty. Kitty is one of our hard, earnest work- ers. She appears quiet and reserved, but once you know her, you will find her quite jolly. Her specialty is kindergarten work and we know that she will be a most success- ful kindergarten or primary teacher. She is fond of hiking and most all out- door sports. We are sure that as a future teacher she will be a success and the best wishes of her class go with her. J MARY E. BARRETT VC ILKESBARRE, PA. Wilkes-Barre High School All ye who gaze on Mary ' s picture — aren t you saying to yourself, Sweet, shy, modest — and retiring? Yes, we did. too, until we knew her better. Oh. she s all those until something comes up with which she does not agree and then — Mary has the floor! Most of the time, however, she makes a good audience for Theressa. and believe us. it doesn ' t take long to make Mary laugh. . nd she always gives you ex- tra measure, too! We wonder what will happen when we don ' t see Mary and Theressa together here- after: when we don ' t hear. Now-, Ther- essa, when we can ' t hear the noise pe- culiar to those two alone! Anyway, we ' re sure she ' ll make a good teacher — and giving a last look at your picture, Mary, we feel as though wed like to be the children for a while! Heaps of success to crown all your ef- forts in life, arv! HELEN E. BARROW .• l NBl RY. . . Slnblrv High School Helen ' Yes, you ' d never think it. but Sunbury is a nice place, and of course. Helen is a great deal nicer. She has been entertain- ing high ambitions — just giving them a good time — and one of the numerous hopes is that of becoming a social .worker in a cannery or Girls ' reform school. Then sometimes we are convinced that the world will recognize her as a great mathematician or a music supervisor in Northumberland — just across the river from Sunbury. The present interests of the young lady consist of Ford coupes, floor lamps, and softly shaded illuminations of all sorts. We need more light on the subject, but Helen herself is a light-hearted, cheerful person — she needs no outward illumination. •We wish you the culmination of all your fondest hopes, and desires, and our love goes with you, Helen. RUTH . BEAVER M MEDIA. PA. LocisT Township High School Ruthie Have you the pleasure of knowing ' Ruthie ? Shes a worth while friend. I fear, however, many of us have not had an opportunity even to become acquainted with her simply because she lives down town and therefore is not seen among us frequently. Her choice of a group for her future field of service was the Rural Group. We tiiink that group is mighty lucky to have such a member. She ' ll strive for the best and attain her end because her interests lie so deeply in her work. There are rumors of a disturbing factor from irginia. ere confident youll make a wise decision, so well not worry but wish you happiness and success in whichever field vou choose. EDITH M. BEHR LOPEZ. PA. Lopez High School Bugs Just a bit of North Mountain, sets down in Bloomsburg for a short time — that is Edith Behr. . s there is no other place in the world exactly like North Mountain, so there is no other person just like Edith. One of her outstanding characteristics is her intense love of nature. This is not simply an affectation; it is the genuine ap- preciation of one who has studied and ob- served her surroundings intelligently and sjTnpathetically all her life. When you mention horses, you are sure to ' start something with Edith. If you seem to have the right attitude she may tell you many an interesting tale about herding on pony back, or cross-country riding in the wilds of Sullivan County. We tliink she resembles her beloved mountain in ruggedness of character. Chil- dren quickly find the way to her good heart, and we know that the parents can safely put them under her care. Good luck to you. Edith. 36 L S ALTER P. BENNINGER ST. JOHNS. PA. Hazleto.n High School IFalter W alter did not join us until the begin- ning of our Senior year. He came to our attention in School Efficiency where he was the only one that could keep pace with Professor Irwins Philosophy of Educa- tion and ' Salsatory vs. Concompetent De- velopment. Walter did not take up science until the second half of the semester, although we rather expected he would sooner because of the many visits at Prof. Shortess Hareln. We shall presume, of course, that he was doing research work. W alter had the ad- vantage over us in that he had already bad three years of teaching experience. He bad made a good impression coming to us as a stranger, and we are all sorry that be could not have been with us to bear our joys and sorrows while we were in the Junior ranks. e wish you success. Walter, in your work as Editor-in-Cbiif of the school paper and in after life. M. RGARET S. BERLEW KINGSTON. P. . DoRR. NCETON HiGH ScHOOL -Margaret is one of the best natured girls at B. S. N. S. She always has a smile — even when she is making lesson plans. Her chief diversions are eating choco- late ice cream, laughing and watching for her father. She often acts as a supple- ment to the dining room when the menu is, hash or soup. She is a counselor when we are in trouble and a friend in need is a friend indeed. Teaching is her chief interest and we feel sure that she will be successful in her chosen work. We hope that she will al- ways have as many friends in her life away from Normal as she had while here. Her good nature and pleasant smile seem to have a magic effect on all of us. and we are sure that they will help to bring her success. FRANK V. BIRCH BLOOMSBl RG, PA. Bloomsbirc High School Birchy Hailing from the town he does, great tilings are expected of Frank in the teach- ing world. Teaching seems to he in the Birch blood because two older sisters and a brother are teachers. His greatest jinx is working off conditions in subjects that don ' t interest him but he always comes out on top because he is a diligent worker when the occasion arrives. Frank is likely to break the family tradi- tion and become a doctor. At least he is often seen at the Bloomsburg Hospital. He is a very quiet boy, one that belie%es in deeds not words and he accomplishes many things that few people hear about. Although he is no athlete he enjoys all the sports and surprised the school by ap- pearing on the field as a candidate for the football team. That is the kind of spirit the school needs. Birchy : keep up the good work. He also enjoys the social func- tions of the school and is regularly seen at the concerts and entertainments. The class wishes good luck to a good fellow. «f ■| H HM| K %n R? f y-ti v« 1 H kx l M H CARL D. BLOSE DORNSIFE, PA. Allentown High School Reverend Here is one of the bright and shining lights of our class. We did not discover Carl on the first day of school — nor the second. It was nearly a month before the Senior boys gave us an informal reception near the fountain. There, amid the dis- play of assembled talent, we heard Carl ' s melodious tenor voice for the first time. Carl took a position near the head of the class and has maintained it through various regimes that have passed over our troubled minds. He has decided to specialize in Kural Education, and we know that with his training at Normal School and his nat- ural ability combined, he will surely make his mark in the chosen field. ifysj i ANNA M. BOOTH BROADWAY. PA. Huntington Mills High School Peggy This (lignifiecl Senior hails from Luzerne County. Pennsylvania. She is a sweet, golden-haired pirl from the quiet country village of Broadway. Anna spends most of her time studying but is always glad to have you drop in to chat. However, you seldom find her re- turning calls. She says, If I go to visit a while I won ' t know when to come home. ' It ' s our candid opinion she isn ' t so great a talker as she thinks she is, for we notice she is very quiet in class except when her name is called. She is always kind and considerate of Others and we feel sure of her success as a teacher. N ' HERMAN E. BORDER MILLVILLE, PA. Millville High School Biir The rural educational situation, in re- gards to gaining trained instructors in that field, has received quite a boost, for Her- man has decided to educate those young Americans who are being reared in God ' s Country. Bill is quite a student and car- ries so many volumes of knowledge around with him that he is sometimes mistaken for a traveling library. He does not, how- ever, spend all his time in study or in pre- tending to study, for he always finds time to chin with the fair ones. Herman likes nothing better than to get in a crowd of his fellowmen and relate his various experiences with his many girls. One of his ambitions is to be an author and he has already written several inter- esting pages of his life ' s history. Herman also finds some great attraction at Muncy Valley. Energetic, cheerful, willing, he is bound to get there and here ' s oping. 39 EDITH ESTELLA BRACE WYOMING, PA. Wyoming High School £rf 7A ' Anna says to Edith, Do you have a stamp? No response. ' What time is it. Edith? No response. Oh! I see, Edith has a book in her liand. When Edith isn ' t wTiting lesson plans, her favorite recrea- tion is reading. Try to interrupt her when she is reading and it will usually result in a water throwing match. That is her favorite weapon. Edith loves grapefruit for breakfast. This fact she proves by getting up for break- fast only in tlie morning when we have grapefruit. Her quiet, unassuming, industrious dis- position is sure to make her a successful primary teacher. Always the same, gentle little girl — that is Edith of our gang. ELIZABETH R. BRADY LEE PARK. PA. Hanover Township High School Betty ' Did you ever see Betty ' s dimple? It ' s quite adorable and so is she. And her hair is so curly she simply cant do a thing with it. Do you know how she spends her leisure time? Just listen some time and you ' ll hear — Betty , will you please curl my hair? A very amiable and willing girl friend Betty has proved to be. In our Junior year we thought it not at all strange that Betty just loved Jersey. She was going to ha e a Jersey dress, and she wrote Jersey regularly on the address of her letter — but then very nice people live in Jersey Shore. Betty . This year, however, were rather shaky for Jersey Shore since Forest City has entered the case. You have our hearty well wishes that whatever ou do you ' ll be a success. 40 LOLA M. BROOKS PARSONS. PA. P.iRSO.Ns High School Lolo This i? to introduce our Lola who came to us in our Junior year from Parsons. The opposite sex possesses no attraction for Lola: she is fully resolved to live ' single ' all her life. (Maybe! I Lola does try to be agreeable and lovable and almost always she succeeds: but when she gets cross — look out — (she has red hair and also the accompanying temper I . Ordinarily, however. Lola is in her pleas- antest mood and is liked by all here at Normal. We are sure success will be hers in her chosen profession — that of a schooi marm. ' E-ARL J. BROTHERSTOX HILLSDALE. MICH. Hillsdale High .School Fat ' Fat came all the way from Michigan and joined our class in the year 22. and this we have never regretted. Fat has helped a great deal in putting Bloomsburg Normal on the map as far as the sporting world is concerned. He is a great lover of sports, a line of work wherein his heart is content. ' Fat has participated in all the Normal ath- letics, and has shown great ability in each. Ve might say Fat ' is a boy with an educated toe. for in football he sure can punt. Here ' s hoping we hear more about him during his college career. On the other hand. Fat doesn ' t seem to be a lover of girls. Perhaps there ' s a reason. There may be some attraction back in Michigan. We must stop to realize, Michigan is a long way from Bloomsburg and naturally the circumstances are hard to find. Well, Fat, we. the class of 24. wish vou the best of luck in vour future life. 41 ALETHEA BULLOCK SHAMOKIN. PA. Shamokin High School Alethea Alethea is an industrious student, who spends much of ' her time writing themes for English. You ask us what she has as her ambi- tion? Well, it ' s either music or law — pre- ferably the latter we believe. So men and women of the new political day, we intro- duce to you a prominent member. However, aside from these interests we know that there was a Studebaker which often caused considerable attraction. But then we weren ' t supposed to tell you! For a girl of her purposes, her ingenuity, and her capabilities, the class of 1924 can be proud and extend to her its sincerest wishes for her success in whatever field she strives to attain achievement. HILDEGARDE T. BURKE PITTSTON, PA. St. John ' s High School Hilda ' Just a glance at Hilda should tell you the kind of girl she is; always thoughtful and considerate. There ' s j ust one word that describes her and that is charming. Her quiet dignity and loving disposition have won for her many friends. She is an angel and one of the truest and dearest girls in the class. One could not be with her long without finding a source of pleasure in her beaming eyes and hearty laugh, which she gives vent to during the meetings of the K. M. M. Club. She is one of the shining lights of our class and in each of her classes displays that mental alertness and intelligence which are characteristic of a good student. We all love her. and it will be one of the hardest things to part with her, and to Hilda we pay our highest tribute — A True Friend. Our most sincere wishes for a successful career are ever with her. 42 r EMMA H. BURKETT GLEN LYON. PA. Newport Township High School Em ' Em says she likes candy. You don ' t have to be with her very hmg to learn this fact. We do wish that we could be the supplier ' s of her demand. The only thing that prevents us Uhe gang) from assum- ing this office is the foreseen financial strain on our pockelbooks. Yes, you will know who he is if you watch when she turns her head or looks askance in the dining room. She tries to convince us that it is unintentional and that she could crack herself when she does that, but we sympathize with this train- ing of her sixth sense. Of course she likes dancing. This is one of her hobbies. She is ready for it at all times of the day. Besides, she likes travel- ing: ask her about the Gettysburg Con- vention. However, here is a hint we pass on to you: Beware of jokes! May success be yours. V FRANK L. BUSS WILKES-BARRE. PA. Hanover Tovr.NSHip High School Ace ' Ace is one of our hard-working class- mates. He works hard but, as a rule with the boys, not at his studies. Frank is a Heifitz on a violin and possesses a Caruso voice. Judging from his wonderful voice and general distinguishing abilities his classmates predict a wonderful future for him as an eminent lawyer. Frank is always ready to help a class- mate and is very active in school affairs. His interests lie in law. school teaching, tennis, Bangs and kidding the girls. As an entertainer Ace ranks high for he possesses an inexhaustible collection of jokes and can tell them over and over again in a most enjoyable manner. Frank says he is a dancer i)ut doesn ' t want to show the rest of the boys up. Judging from his exhibitions in Gym class we think he could shake a mean kick on the dance floor. our many friends will always remem- ber you, Ace, as a real friend and class- mate. We wish you success in all you may do. ! IALD E. CAMPBELL RIVERSIDE, PA. Shamokin High School The Senior section, group three, in ' Teaching of English. gasped one day when in answer to a question from the in- structor, a voice was heard from the rear of the room stating that Miss Campbell was taking the course for audit! Such ambi- tion was unheard of in a Normal School, among students who sometimes complain that the required number of subjects is too heavy for them to carry, without adding extra hours, and not receiving credit for them, either! Since we have come to know Maud bet- ter, though, we have learned that she is fully capable of undertaking more than the average amount of work, and of doiiig it well too. B. S. N. .?. needs more stu- dents like her — mav it have them! FRANCES ELIZABETH CARR LLZERNE, PA. LrzERNE High School Frankie Freddie. Willard. Thomas. Stew, the ideal husband, the artist, the football star, the dancer — The 8 Horsemen would hate to see any more enter the competition because that woidd make it too hard — they have so many problems. ' Frankie is the artist of the 8 Horse- men. Did you see Red Riding Hood? Frankie put her on the stage and did you see the art gallery in room 248? ' Frankie ' s artist friend did the work. Yes, she keeps us artistic. And clever? — Well, I guess! She missed a certain opportunity to gallop by night. As a reward, she did our Christmas shop- ping, while we cantered on the grass. Our best wishes to you. 44 1 MARY FLORENCE CASWELL BLOOMSBLRG. PA. Bloomsbirg High School Floss Do not judge Floss by her face. ou will have to admit she looks exceptionally angelic, but. Oh my! Look again. Dont you ,«ee the something there that you missed the first time? Yes. indeed, looks are de- ceiving. Its no wonder poor Mil I her side kick) is always getting bawled out. However. Floss can work and we dont mean maybe. If we did not know- her so well we might think her imbued with a super-natural power. Her work seems to do itself. Then, too, Floss has the patience of Job. It is to this that we attribute the fact that Floss ' gets so much accom- plished and still isn ' t rushed. Whether Floss is going to be a teacher or a Shipman first-mate is a question that she has not fully decided as yet: but whatever you may be Floss. our good will is with you. ANNA G. CA THERX KLLP.MONT. l ' . -MuiM Cahmei. HicM . School Annie ' Annie hails from the town of Kulp- mont. Before she came here, we had never lieard of it. but believe me. we know every nook and corner of it now! Every week- end she goes home. Why? Well, can ' t you use your imagination. As usual there is a man in the case — or to be more cor- rect. I should say there are many others too numerous to mention here. Detroit holds a certain charm, anil Dickinson Sem holds a still dearer one. Annie is very fond of automobile rides and every week she has some thrilling tale to tell in this connection. She always gets in early — yes, quite early in the morning. She is quite a singer, and often enter- tains fourth floor with one of her concerts. She is always around when there ' s any mis- chief to be done, and takes a leadini part in it. She usually delivers letters about 9:30. getting them from the side at the head of the stairs. .Annie is a peach of a yirl. and she surelv has the best wishes o( the class of 24. 43 ROSE M. CONNOR WILKESBARRE. PA. WiLKEi-BARRE HlGH ScHOOL Rosie-Bud Rose is noted for her unlimited wit and is the cause of much merriment among her fellow students. Alth ough she displays much ability in dancing, she prefers music, in which she excels. Ue all thought Rose safe and hidden from the darts of Cupid but she has disap- pointed us. She told us not to mention anything about him so we ll do that much for her and besides Jimmy might not ap- prove of it. As an entertainer, she can ' t be beat. This fact was confirmed when Rose was Proctor. She carried her gymnastics a little too far above the ordinary and raised a commotion by missing the Proctor sign. This caused her to make a home run. Rose is diligent and thorough in her school work and is consistingly efficient in all she at- tempts. We wish for her the most of suc- cess. ELIZABETH ABIGAIL CORRIGAN HAZLETON. PA. St. Gabriel High School Belts Belts is Irish. Her big sense of hu- mor often registers on her countenance. So do other things register there. But you would have to guess what they are. She says Millie knows. They practice to- gether and present it at dinner. Many a laugh ! Betts is studying primary work, but will probably teach in High School, be- cause of her social adaptation to pupils of that age. hat about the Bill affair? When the 8 horsemen entertain in the recreation room, it ' s Betts ' jigging that puts a bounce in the party. Good luck to you, Betts. 46 CLYDE C. COTNER WASHINGTONVILLE. PA. Indiana State Normal School Cotner Cotner is one of our football stars of long standing for he was on our varsity before we were Juniors. He also made our varsity basketball team at the same time. Later he left us to go to Indiana State Normal where he graduated from the Com- mercial department. After a year of very successful teaching supervision and teach- ing in Indiana County he decided to return to Bloomsburg to take up Senior work. He is an excellent penman and is one of Mr. Black ' s most efficient assistants. He intends to specialize in penmanship, and we are sure that if he does, he will succee l. .Sj:- i BEATRICE H. COURTNEY GOULDSBORO, PA. Got LHSBORo High School B Beatrice is one of the many clieerful girls of Old Normal. A glance at her would leave an impression of a very quiet girl, but a visit to Room 361 would soon change your opinion. She is always on hand when an order is sent down to Sands, and many a spread has been enjoyed in her room. At vacation time she is never seen to linger behind the bunch on the way to the station. In fact she does her best to be near the bead of the procession. She is very enthusiastic about Primary work and we are sure Gouldsboro will find in her a very able teacher. il BEATRICE C.RA FORD MILLVILLE. PA. MiLLviLLE High School Beady Although Beady is an out-of-town stu- dent we have come to know her quite well. She has such a sweet disposition that you simply can ' t help liking her. She wouldn ' t quarrel and if any girl comes to her in a cross mood she sends her away with a smile. She is such a shy and quiet maiden that one scarcely realizes that she is present, but wherever there is work, there also is Beady, ready to help. She belongs to the rural group, but we cannot imagine her in a one-room country school. ' ith y ur happy view of life and ever willingness to pull or push. Beatrice, 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. Here ' s our best wishes for a bright and happy future. CATHERINE CREASY MIFFLINVILLE, PA. Berwick High School Catharine If we hear, who? what? where? when? we know it is Catherine without seeing her. One of Catherine ' s chief interests is studying the specimen of B. S. N. S., for instance, birds and — well, that is enough to study at one time. Catherine ' s one ambition is to drive a ' Chevy. We do not know why she is so slow in learning how. but we think the one who is teaching her has something to do with it. She has not decided what her life work is to he, but then again, we think someone else I besides her parents I will play an im- portant part in deciding on the length of time she spends on the work she has pre- pared for here. Catherine, the wishes of the Class are with you and we wish you a world of suc- cess. 4S JANE I. CREASY CATAWISSA, PA. Catawissa High School Janie Here is another one of our studious girls, but the twinkle in her eyes reveals to us that she, too. like the rest of us, loves a good time. Jane came to us from Cata- wissa, and has shown a great deal of dili- gence in her work. Her appearance de- notes modesty and quietness, and appear- ances are not deceiving in this instance for Jane has both these traits, as well as plenty of fun in her make up. She gives every- body within her reach a boost, literally, and we know that whatever she does in the future will get the same treatment, and will turn out all right. She has taught us that the most quiet disposition in the world may hide great fountains of fun. We wish her luck. MARY R. CRUMB WASHINGTON. D. C. B. S. N. S. High School Mary Crumb — where are you? Have you ever heard that called through halls across campus, from window to window, etc? If not, it is surely your hearing that is at fault, for it seems that little Mary Crumb is one of our most important per- sonages — always in demand to help the other fellow out or to enjoy a good time of some kind. And is it any wonder that she is popular? Find if you can. another person in the Senior class who has the knack of know- ing how to do things as Mary has. It seems to come to her naturally, too, for whenever anyone is wanted to perform some difficult or unusual task the first sugges- tion is, Ask Mary Crumb, shell know how! Let this helpful and obliging spirit carry over into your experiences after leaving us, Mary — we know you will be happy. 49 1 MARY CULLINAN HUNTINGTON, PA. Huntington High School Mac Mac. a gay, fluffy-haired and wholly deligluful person is one of the sparks ' of the dorm. If you want a good time go to MacV room. It is not all foolish- ness but real fun. To he serious, however, Mac surely is clever with her fingers. Every time one sees her she has a doll, a scarf or some bit of knitting in her hands. Since she likes to make things we are sure she will enjoy her kindergarten work. But Mac does not lead a spinster existence by any means. Last year there were a few evidences of that, since she found an interest in the other dorm. But now all clues lead outside and the only available news seems to say that during vacation time Mac steps-out. Here ' s to her success in stepping out as a school teacher. V MARY CURTIS NANTICOKE, PA. Nanticoke High School Mary is one of our favorite comedians. She always has a smile and a joke for every situation, no matter how dishearten- ing it may be. We often advise her to take up a stage career but she doesn ' t seem to take our advice seriously. We understand that she is much perplexed as to the advisability of becoming a sail- oress. Of course, we cannot decide the matter, but he surely looked good to us. However. Mary has serious interests, too. for she is not only a Y. W. C. A. officer, but also a member of the Student Council. She was one of the delegates sent from this school to the Y. W. C. A. conventions held last year at West Chester and Eagles Mere. Mary ' s ability as a student and her sunny disposition will surely result in her happi- ness and success. 50 ELMER J. DANIELS HONEsDALE. PA. Ho.NESDALE HiGH ScHOOL i5e6e It is not often that the classic halls of Bloomsburg have seen such a versatile character as Bebe. He is one of the rare specimens who can do as they like, and still remain at peace with the world. He is quite fond of his cell on the fourth floor, and when he is not in classes, on the tennis court, or doing research work in the library he may be found hanging to his widow by his toe-nails expounding his philosophy of life to all listeners, generally those on the Hoor below. Bebes strong points are science and educational measurements, especially the latter, as he was Dr. Herring ' s chief as- sistant typist in the Bureaucratic days of yore. If he really is as as he looks. Bebe self some day. learned and dignified will be a Ph.D. him- ■V KATHRYN E. DECHANT RENOVO. PA. Renovo High School DecAanf If you were ever in a class with De- chant you were always aware of her pres- ence. Judging from her grades, the in- structors evidently knew that she was there and appreciated the quality of her re- sponses. She is a good all-around student and a friend of e ' eryone. Her popularity among the students was shown when her name came up in Student Government election, when she was elected Senior Representative in the Student Coun- cil. Although, along with her nlher work, she assisted in the Biological Department, she managed to find time for fun and never lost an opportunity for pleasure. She has the sincere good wishes of the class for success in all that she undertakes. 51 BEULAH M. DEMING UMONDALE. PA. Forest City High School Boola That the old adage. Still waters lun deep. may be applied to Beulah is shown by her fine scholastic record in B. S. N. S. These successes have not come by in- spiration unaccompanied by perspiration as her friends can testify. She is never satisfied until she has finished her task whatever it happens to be. This industry, based as it is on plenty of good general intelligence, has contributed much toward making her an excellent student. Boola does not believe in all work and no play, however. After the work is fin- ished there are few jollier girls than she. She is a very modest young lady, in fact she may be blushing this very minute. Never mind Boola, your color is becom- ing and it is much less expensive than that which is bought in a box. We wish you success. MERLE M. DERK TREVORTON, PA. Trevorton High School Merle From Trevorton comes our Merle, the well-loved sister of Max Derk. Always in a good humor. Merle enjoys the friend- ship of the dorm. Whenever there is a box from home, well — , the boys above her room are very seldom hungry, proving that she is not only popular with the girls but with the other sex as well. However, boxes are not the cause of her popularity. No indeed! Merle is a pretty little dancer and, guess what! She had her hair cut, so that she has blossomed out during her stay at the dorm. Merle is a good student and a very conscientious worker. X e have no doubt at all that she will make alto- gether an excellent teacher. 52 ELEANOR DERR DANVILLE. PA. Danville High School Clever, originaL and very interesting — all three adjectives apply equally well to Eleanor. During her one year with us she has made a circle of friends, all of whom admire her seemingly unlimited stock of ideas and pep. If you have a joke to tell, take it to Eleanor — she will appreciate it: if you have troubles tell them to Eleanor — she will sympathize. Do not get the idea, however, that she is a paragon of virtue, for there have been times when Eleanor has been known to lose her dignity, but let us not dwell on that. Suffice it to say that the Senior Class has been proud to count her as one of its members, and that it wishes her the best of success. J. RAYMOND DERRICK UNITYVILLE. PA. Mansfield State Normal Derrick e did not know Raymond until the beginning of our .Senior year, when he came to us from Mansfield, where he had taken extension work. He was far ahead of us in experience as a teacher as he had already taught three years in a rural school. He was welcomed to our midst with a memorable greeting from the B. D. C. on the athletic field. He soon followed in the footsteps of his speedy brother and is now at the end of the waiters line-up. With all his many attributes, Raymond is a very popular fellow among both sexes. The boys show their affection by congre- gating in room 472 and the girls by taking him home on Sunday night or occasional rides to Berwick. Raymond aims at the principalship of some large high school, but with his ability we expect him to be Dean of Columbia at least. 58 MARGARET C. DEVERS AVOCA, PA. AvocA High School Peg Here is a girl who seems to be rather quiet, but when you are alone with her ' •you ' d be surprised. ' Studying is another of Peg ' s virtues. She can be seen study- ing at all times. She knows how to be mischievous though, too. Just listen to her talking or laughing in a certain room on Front Campus, second floor. ■ ' Peg can be found studying away to her heart ' s content in the library. She is a good, all-around sport, ready and willing to lend a helping hand at any time. If there is any fun to be had, or any party to be staged, we can find Peg there. Peg will be another of our school marms, and I am sure we will all be proud of her. She has made many friends at B. S. N. S., and we are positive that she will make numerous ones when she begins teaching. Our best wishes for luck and success are with her. v HARPER B. DODD WICOMSCO, PA. WicoNisco High School Harper Here indeed is one fellow who will make a mark for himself in this small world of ours. We can hardly imagine Harper being anything but the first in any enterprise he might undertake. Already we see evidences of this in the dining room and near the fair grounds. e might wish that he would change bis pet ex- pression a little oftener. but he believes that old jokes are the best after all. ' In regard to females it is hard to decide whether he favors Angel Child or a mem- ber of the present Junior Class. We wish you success. Harper, and whether or not vou change your views on Evolution, we know that some day you will be high m the fields of education. •54 J. PAIL DOHL CAMBRIA, PA. Hlntington Mills High School Doyle Paul was not with us last year, but he is now — with a vengeance. He has had teaching experience, so knows more ways of bothering a teacher than is quite neces- sary for one person to know. He has only one fault — he is bashful. He admits it himself, so it must be true, although it is hard to believe. Paul at one time was an attendant at the Retreat Hospital for the Insane, at least he says that he was an attendant al- though we cannot prove his statement. .At any rate, he was there. Paul wants to be a rural teacher. It s safer, there are so many people in the coun- try. To tell the truth, Paul is a hard, con- scientious worker who will be sure to be a well-liked and successful teacher. 8 j [ i H t N k ' 1 .i gEGIBj MARY R. DO S D BLOOMSBLKG. PA. Bloomsburg High School Little Girl Mary is one of the class of midgets in training for a teacher. It is quite probable that she could pass for a kindergartner herself, not that she is an infant, but she is an extremely tiny person for a teacher. Mary has many lovable traits. Since she is so small one would naturally think her rather dependent. Not so! If she is small, she has many independent and very mod- ern ideas concealed in that small head. She is very active and whenever seen is usually hurrying to the next class in Pri- mary -Methods. Much can be said of her past history. Mary came to Normal after graduating from the Bloomsburg High School and many are the memories the old High School Hill has of Mary rushing up it to school at the last minute, and I may add, as she does the old Normal hill now. We wish her luck and much success in her chosen work. ELIZABETH H. DRUM.M BLOOMSBL RG, PA., R. F. D. B. S. N. S. High School Betty Elizabeth was a student in the Center Tuwnship school for three years. She spent her fourth year in the Bloomsburg State Normal School. She then elected the teach- ing course and became a member of this course in our class. Betty is one of our talkative little girls, for while she is in the class-room, locker- room or library, there is a continuous chat- ter. She is ever willing ' to say what she means. ' ' . ' sometimes Betty seems rather quiet among the girls, but you would be siu - prised if you knew how friendly she is with about six or eight members of the op- posite sex. She studies diligently and we are confident that she will succeed in what she attempts. Elizabeth is a good sport, always ready for a good time. She rather expects to be a school teacher but we doubt it. Remember, Betty, Leap Year is handy and success is vours for the asking. RUTH H. DUNLAP PECKVILLE. PA. Blakely High School Ruthie Yes, this is our Ruthie! She will never forget her first impressions of Bloomsburg, or the first night spent here. My, wasn ' t that table hard! But why didn ' t you sleep on the bed? Like Postum — there ' s a rea- son. Another one of her anxieties was to get to the mail box on time. ' Whenever she heard the name, Jack she immediately became interested. You ask me where her heart is — that ' s hard to answer. She must have more than one! So long as there is a mirror and some man around, she will be satisfied. Last year on the path to Science Hall ' Ruthie slipped and fell, and slid. Who was it you were falling for that day? And how about the night you and Charlotte tried to close the transom? Ruthie carried out her office as Fire Chief very well. Her fire company is to be commended. Ruthie, you have our good wishes for a successful career — whatever it may be. 56 MARY INEZ DUW A OCA. PA. St. John ' s High Schooi. Dunk Here ' s tci the girl that lakes life as it come?, smiling a greeting whether tiie day I)e dark or fair. Who could help hut like ' Dunk with her lovely voice and charm- ing manners? She is a favorite with the boys and girls because of her admirable qualities and her sly humor generally comes with such a surprise that it evokes laughter from all present. Dunk ' s motto is Work before play, ' ' and it is no wonder that in her classes few excel her? She is fond of tennis, hikes and especially dancing. Being an officer of the K. M. M. ' s. she performs her duties thereof splendidly. Dunk honors us by being a member of our class and we trust that this ideal student, who will make an ideal teacher, will enjoy a life full of sunshine. Best wishes of the class of 24 for a most successful career. S. RAH BLANCHE DYMOND WYOMING. PA. Wyoming High School Sarie Sarah is the queen of our bunch. A charming manner that is always the same, a lovely disposition, a queenly carriage, a voice that promises success in teaching — that is Sarah. No storm or gale can ruffle .Sarah. Her motto is never to take things too seriously, because one never gets to their goal any sooner by worrying over trifles. She has made this a working motto, because somehow she seems to get her work accomplished efficiently and in due time and has plenty of leisure left to enjoy some form of recreation. The other girls take a day off to pack their trunks to go home, while Sarah leaves her packing go until the last minute and then she throws shoe polish, shoes, best silk dress and everything together and has her packing done as soon as the rest. She declares her clothes wouldn ' t look any less wrinkled if she took a whole day in which to do her packing. Our best wishes for success are vours. CHARLES EDSELL LE RAYSVILLE. PA. TnwANDA High School Edseir Charles is one of the well liked blondes among the male sex. He can always be picked out of a crowd on account of the color of his hair. Charles has had experience in the field of teaching before coming to Normal. One can notice this when you hear him talk about anything educational. He is a great student of educational measurements and has shown his ability along this line in figuring out I. Q.s and Accomplishment Quotients. He is now specializing in the Junior High School work, and from all re- ports he is going to be a great success. ■ Edsell is not only married, but is a veteran of the orld War. He saw service in France with the I. S. Army. We are proud to have such a man as a member of the class of ' 24. The class of 24 wishes you success In years to come. MARY RUTH EISENHOWER KINGSTON. PA. DORRANCETON HiCIl ScilOOL Mary Rulh Mary Ruth is the girl with the snappy eyes and the big smile. As a sentimentalist .she ranks high. We happen to know of five young college men who are all fond of her, so our deepest sympathies are with the losers. She is a lover of the out-of-doors and finds great pleasure in hiking, skating and tennis. Mary is an active worker in the . W. C. A. and other religious organizations. She was one of the delegates sent by this school to the Y. W. C. A. convention at West Chester last spring and to the Eagles Mere conference in the summer. At the former she was chosen as a national rep- resentative of the Pennsylvania State Nor- mal Schools and in that capacity attended the International Student Volunteer Con- vention held at Indianapolis. Ind.. in Jan- uary. Our best wislies for a successful and happy life are with her. 53 r CLAIRE -MARGARET ELLIGETTE WILKES BARRE. PA. X ilkesBarre High School Claire Thai Red Head Gal. she has us wor- ried. Claire is the adopted daughter of the 8 Horsemen. She lives on fourth floor, hut what difference does a few floors make? It makes fudge for one thing. Claire is for indoor sports. She brings outdoors in. Her imagination is beautiful and amusing. Those who observed her under an umbrella in the dorm in evening dress ( ? I would confirm this. Many a feed the 8 Horsemen could have on Claire, nnt mi lier purse, but on her tablecloth. Claire ' s off dirty Coal for life, she came out of the mines. Our best wishes go with vou. I LENA P. E AAL .MREMBERG. PA. Nlre.mberc High School Lena Here is one well versed in the affairs of B. S. N. S.. having spent three years here. During her first year she helped swell the ranks of the High School Department. Everyone knows what a good sport Lena is and we will never forget the girl who was always willing to run on an errand or to lend a helping hand. In her junior year she was always in for a good time and in her senior year she lived up to her junior reputation whicli is saying some- thing. Lena is a steady customer at Reilly ' s and never yet turned down anything to eat. If the world into which Lena will go to teach learns to love her as we have, we know that she cannot help but be happy. Everyone joins in wishing her a success- ful career as a teacher, and Oh. Lena, please dont ever lose that good natured. kind hearted spirit of yours, for that is the one thing abniit ynu tliat we shall never forget. 59 EDITHA WEST E T BLOO.M BLRG, PA. Bloomsbirc High School Ed. A little girl with a very strong person- ality that ' s our Ed. Editha is quite a singer and does considerable solo work. Some day she intends to become a music supervisor. But beware. Editha! Do not let too many attractions interfere w ' ith your plans. There are the cats, the dog. and last hut not least. Bugs Adams. All in all. we know they take much of your time. The various classes Editha missed dur- ing her senior year, however, were wholly independent of these attractions. Some- times she overslept; other times her tin lizzie ran away with her to Berwick. Of course, we know that you never did things hy halves. Editha. Surely you will take hold of the future with the same thor- oughness. The best of wishes go with you. EDITH S. EVAXS HAZLETON. PA. Hazleton High School Edith Here is another one of the Hazleton re- cruits. Edith ' s hobby is athletics. In her junior year she was a member of the famous Junior girls ' basketball team. At every athletic event, one is sure to find her in the foreground. Her personal ambition is to become physical training supervisor and I am sure that before her teaching career is ended she will have attained her goal. Edith is a lover of good music: however, slie prefers to hear a certain tenor singing, rather than a Louis Graveure or a Julin McCormack. One of her ever present questions is, Did you get a box? meaning, of course, eats, for she has a craving for things home-made. Heaps of success. Edilh. CO n MARGARET L. EVANS OLD FORGE, PA. Old Force High School Peggy Peg is almost a red-head, bobbed, as you can see. She was just a shy little lass as a Junior, but oh! my, being a Senior has made such a change. Peggy is kept quite busy this year taking care of her small nephew, who is one of her popular Juniors. That and her voluminous correspondence take up most of her time. Ask Peg what her future plans are and she will say: Oh, I want to be a nurse. Maybe I will yet. So whatever her future may be, we wish her all success. MILDRED M. FAATZ FOREST CITY. PA. Forest City High School MW Here is Mil, another member of the Forest City bunch of second floor, front hall, and when all is said, she ' s one of our best sports. Fun and good times are for her the spice of life. Mil doesn ' t care for boys at all. It ' s the boys that care for Mil, and any place, any lime, or anywhere you see Mildred you will always be sure to see one of the opposite sex — even at football and basket- ball games — eh. Mildred? . ' he has a smile that won ' t wear off and big brown eyes that never fail to do their duty, maybe that ' s the reason. Some of Mildred ' s favorite sports are sitting on the steps outside of chapel lis- tening to the concerts (?), supplying the girls with salmon cracker sandwiches, mak- ing up jokes and inventing new fashions. Then, too. most of her leisure time is spent writing letters — for we all know that that is her specialty. She believes in the say- ing. Laugh and grow fat, and we really wonder that she doesn ' t weigh three times as much as she does. She says she will teach for an indefinite period — we wonder! The best of success to you, Mildred! 61 AGNES M. FAHEY INKERMAN. PA. St. John ' s High School Faddie George Williams, in his tribute to his friend Joseph Jefferson, the actor, con- cludes it with the words: ' Earth is hap- pier having knowTi thee and heaven sweeter for thy sake. In years to come the mem- bers of the class of ' 24 will recall the name of . gnes Fahey with a feeling that thev are happier, having known her. That . gnes is a precocious girl cannot be disputed, for although having made her initial bow to society not so long ago, we find her a master of arts, for to her, danc- ing, singing and public speaking are no longer difficulties to be considered; long since she has mastered them. She vividly shows her speaking powers when the K. M. M. Club meets. Agnes ' chief asset in life is a pleasing personality. When she comes into class in the morning, her presence reminds one of a Ray of sunshine breaking through a dark cloud. Success has been hers in the past and we are sure she will have more as she strives onward to reach her goal. EARL T. FARLEY LEWISBI RG. PA. Lewisblrc High School Peep Earl did not start with us in the fall of 1922. but came at the beginning of the second semester. He had attended the previous summer term so he already knew the teachers and the school. Professor Craig recognized his unusual ability in science at once and made him an assistant in the laboratory. Earl came back to sum- mer school in 1923 and it is reported that he did not spend all of his time in work- ing. We did not notice his inclination to Nature Study until the Juniors started studving stars and then Earl was out with his See-Hear-Write every evening. With Earl, go our wishes for success and promi- nence in any line he may undertake, and we are sure he will succeed if he keeps the one he has now, as it is a good one. 62 CATHRAN J. FEAR WEST PITTSTON, PA. West Pittston High School Casper ivacious and versatile might but feebly describe a dear member of our Senior Class. Twould be useless to attempt to dwell on her effervescence and on her many accomplishments. We could not do her justice. ou know, appearances are deceiving. W e thought we knew Cathran in our Junior year. We knew her as Cathran, and as an able and conscientious student, but we had to wait until our Senior year to discover Casper and her real other self. A veritable gloom chaser and room WTecker is this Casper. The trunk is her tlirone from which she -wields her mighty broom. We like you mighty well, Casper, and we hope your Penn State man appreciates you as much as we do. Here ' s to a brilliant and happy future! CONSUELO L. FENSTERMAKER NESCOPECK, PA. Berwick High School Connie Connie is always congenial, always the same. She is the kind of girl whom noth- ing worries, not even the men. but we have heard a bit about an engineer and a P. G. at Lehigh. Consuelo lives on a farm but she is not what one calls a simple country girl. She has a charming personality which will as- sure her success and her happiness will be shared as usual by all who come in con- tact with her. We give you our best wishes, Connie. 63 CHARLOTTE C. FERGUSON JENKINTOWN. PA. JtNKiNTOWiN High School Fergie Being a twin has its advantages especial- ly when there ' s such a great resemhlance. From all outward appearances Charlotte is quiet hut don ' t judge a hook by its cover. We admit she makes her share of the noise that comes from fourth floor, but then — she is only one. Charlotte is chuck full of wit. Your seri- ous questions receive no consideration in her presence however badly you want them answered. She has a remedy for all sorts of blues, be it homesickness or just plain lonesomeness. She is happy when teasing someone. Try to tease her about a certain person named Glenn. However, she isn ' t so bad after all. and like the rest of us, she has her redeeming features. She is an active member of Y. ' W. C. A. and the Bible Class. She is also a very diligent student. But we know you ' ll succeed, Charlotte, so here s luck to you. ISABELLE S. FERGUSON JENKINTOW.N. PA. Jenkintown High School Izzy Yes, this is one of the twins! Izzy is truly a live wire. Her most usual occupa- tion is playing pranks. How about the time you put Dutch Cleanser in the teach- er ' s bed at Eagles Mere? Or the time you offered Coach Mead a piece of candy and it proved to be a dead rat? Or the night you helped elect Coach Mead as fourth floor supervisor? She is Miss Kingman ' s little scamp and she is truly named. On the Junior basketball team last year she proved a wonderful asset, being their star forward. She is most interested in athletics — no matter what they are. Last year she was attracted by a lad from Hill- side, but this year it ' s — well, haven ' t you heard her rave about that curly-headed lad from Glen Lyon? Her greatest regret is that Louie refuses to stop using the stuff that takes away his curls. Peckville also held a charm for her last year. Izzy, what happened to your Tommy — perhaps he was too Fair. Success be yours, twinnie! 64 r L MARGARET V. FERRY FKEELAND. I ' A. St. Ann ' s Parochial School Peg A great deal of comnintion. a loud, merry laugh, and a voice chirping. 1111 a little fairy, a fairy, a fairy. But who is the little fairy? Three guesses. During Peg ' s Junior year, she was a star forward on the girls baskethall team. She made a fine showing of her sportsmanship in the Senior vs. Junior game. She is also noted for her aesthetic danc- ing, f am sure everyone is well acquainted with her late.st introduction, The Freeland Finale Hopp. f wonder why she watches the mail hox so ferociously. Perhaps if you ask her she will explain. She is a daily customer at Reilly ' s and her favorite cry is. Pie a la mode and coca-cola. We all extend our hearty wishes for a successful career. V MARION M. FIGHTER LATTIMER MINES, PA. Hazleton City Mich School Rc,r Oh! Yes, Marion is quiet!! If she ever kepi quiet or went to hed at 10 o ' clock we would all have gone for the nurse. She has a contagious giggle which usually grows into a regular howl and she has enough pep for a dozen. G. hut she does crave action, anything from pillow fights to afternoon hikes. Oh! those hikes, and Oh! that pillow fight. As for stack- ing rooms, she has hecome so professional that in the hiink of an eye she can turn a room topsy turvy, of course not her own room. As for feeds — .so great was her liking for midnight feeds that alas! they led to her downfall. Nuf sed. Marion hopes some day to go West to teach school, so all we can do is wish her the hest of luck, but don ' t forget to come hack once in a while, Marion. 65 MILDRED I. FORNWALD BLOOMSBLRG. PA. Bloomsbirc High School Shorty Many, we are told, are the members of our class of 24 who are small. In fact, they say, some are really little. Well, what of it? So is Shorty! But that need not influence our good opinion of her. for she is very cute with her snappy eyes and her pretty black hair. We have not told you all about her. She is industrious, very much so, and if you do not believe it. just walk into the second grade room some day and observe her as she teaches the kiddies. You ' ll agree with us that she selected the right profession and that her efforts will spell success. Her personality makes everyone like her and we prophecy that her mind will do for her great things, despite her small body. M. JEANNE FOX CATAWISSA, PA. Catawiss.i High School Foxie Just take note of her nickname, and you have our Jeanne down pat. Ask any mem- ber of our class if this isn ' t true, then ask also if she had ever been heard to say: Well, that is what I mean. Loquacious, mischievous, impish, and a few more adjectives can be used in the de- scription of this young lady. She is an eager participant in all the affairs of the class, and offers very valuable assistance, especially to the faculty. Aside from all this, Jeane is an all around real live girl, and can manage a car as well as affairs of School and State. Ambitious? Maybe so — but we can easily forgive that, for after you once know her. you can forgive her anything, particu- larly her giggle. We know she will make a perfect school teacher, and wish her luck. 66 J SOPHIA P. FURMAX ALDEN. PA. Newport Township High School Zosh ' Yes, we all know whom you moan when you say Zosh. But did you say — pep ? Yes, indeed. lots of it. especially last summer. Leave it to Zosh to have good times, and a good time it will be even if it ' s teaching down town when Miss Greathead pays her a visit. And at lunch! ell. she certainly is a pep (perl. Even though we, as a gang, are naturally inclined toward the kitchen and dining room she certainly gets us out of there early enough when she dines with us. She likes the library very much and fre- quents it often, especially in the evening. There ' s where you will find her if she ' s not at home or at Sla ' s. But we almost forgot something. Zosh ' ' has a strong affinity for fishing. . sk her about her catch. .May success be yours. CHRISTINE MARIE GABLE TOWER CITY, PA. Tower City High School Tina When you hear someone coming clip- clap down the hall you can rest assured it is Tina. It is her ambition to become a gym teacher. She says, however, that swim- ming will be compulsory in her classes. ou know- Tina was a victim of the flood that swept room 349 the last week of our Junior year. Tina is also thinking about going in for track, having had much prac- tice running up the back stairs with pieces of pie and glasses of milk. At one time she tried to go horseback riding, but the horse sneezed and Tina ' s ambition fell with her. There are many fields open to you, Tina, and whichever one you enter upon you have the good wishes of Normal for your success. 67 JOSEPH M. GALLAGHER HAZLETON. PA. Hazleton High School Gal Gal hails from Tresckow. a small place outside of Hazleton. He tells great tales concerning that town, but some of us have been there and seen it. But. don t judge Joe by his home town. His one aim is to be sociable and he never fails. In a crowd GalV Irish wit makes his company very agreeable. If he begins to sing. well, everyone else stops for they are all out of tune except Joe. He has a wonderful voice but not for singing. His attempts to please Miss Moore in music class will never be forgotten by his classmates. With the girls Gal was a flash. At social functions he was always a live wire and could dance as only an Irishman can. His main failing was his attraction toward a certain Anna but this was overcome by his other sensible qualities. Gal will be remembered as one of the jolliest boys of our class, companionable, sociable and good hearted. Good luck to you, Joe! MILDRED MAE GALLAGHER AUDENRIED, PA. H. ZLETON High School Mil Of the 8 Horsemen Millie takes the box of candy for Coaching. Her young life is full of thrills and she loves them. But excitement and thrills are different. She didn ' t call it a thrill the night that the Ku Klux Klan burned a cross on her side of the dorm. Mil said, They are after the Irish and the ' 8 Horsemen ' are no match for them. Hardly anyone can imagine where Daddy got the quart of chocolate ice cream he left at Millie ' s door, after lights out one night. That offers a problem as well as her un- called for disappearance from a certain meal. Millie, we are sure of your success and our best wishes are yours. 68 RAYMOND E. GALLAGHER JAMISON CITY. PA. Si GAR Loaf Township High School Pete ' Pfte came sailing into our midst in 1922 from the deliglitful place of .lamison City, which is situated on the hanks of the illustrious Fishing Creek and is connected with Bloomshiirg hy the Bloomsburg and .Sullivan Railroad. The one advantage Pete says, when asked about Jamison City, is that one can see a person twice — once when going up the street and again when coming hack. When Raymond entered Bloomsl)urg State -Normal School he decided to take the three-year course in Junior High School; but like a good many others had to change to the two-year course when the other was discontinued. When about Normal, ' ' Pete is known best for two things, namely, wit and girls. He has a fine sense of humor and usually keeps his companions in an uproar hy his wise cracks. The other thing for which be is noted as said before is girls. Since coming to Bloomsburg Ra rnond has had many, but then I need not dwell longer here because actions speak louder than wf rds. VIRGLMA M. GALLEN BLOOMSBLIRG, PA. Bloomsburg High School Ginny Ginny, as she is usually known to her friends, is another of our girls graduated from Bloomsburg High in ' 22. GinnyV career at old Normal has been marked by many milestones. It is a current idea that she keeps her cases securely fastened un- til the fatal moment, and then . Her latest seems to be as adoring as the first and, as funny as it may be. the first in- itials always happens to be J. .Surely you woidd say, It is fate. Well, it may be fate to be a J, but as it is, it seems as if Ginny has a hard time finding the J that will suit, so the case remains as in- definite as ever. Here ' s to Ginny, trust- ing that she may remain as she is for a few years longer in order to prove her suc- cess as a teacher. 69 HELEN B. GENSEMER BLOOMSBURG, PA. Bloomsblrc High School Gense Helen is a member of that down-town gang that used to call themselves the W. W. (Willing Workers?! R s. This year the gang has changed and they really are will- ing workers. The reason being that they like Normal much better than they did once. Now Helen has — well youd be surprised. You have heard of the fad for pets but did you ever hear of having a Bunny for a pet? Helen has one and they say she is quite fond of him. As to Bunny. you can ' t blame him a bit because Helen is one of the jolliest. happiest and best na- tured Misses that youd ever want to meet. Some of these days we are expecting to hear of Helen ' s ascent to the highest place possible for any schoolma ' m. for she has a most desirable characteristic and pleasing personality, to aid her in her chosen pro- fession. Good luck. Helen. RHODA E. GEORGE NANTICOKE. PA. N. NTicoKE High School ' •Rhoda Rhoda is one of our biggest noise makers. She is always the nucleus around which the fourth floor gang gathers. Most notice- able in this crowd are her Junior satelites. She referees midnight basketball games on the back hall, sometimes even takes part in them. She came back from the Xmas holi- days sporting a Masonic frat pin; we won- der what that implies? Rhoda excells in many things but the sphere in which she shines most brilliantly is in the role of hostess. She demonstrates this trait not only in her room but also at her table in the annex. There is only one fault ( if such it may he termed I in Rhodas make-up; and that is her eternal dabbling in paint. Oil. wa- ter, or house paints — it matters little to Rhoda. She has renovated all the furni- ture in her room, decorated all the small boxes on her dresser, and filled her room with bowls and vases from the pottery. She even has no aversion to using the stuff on her face. May success be yours. Rhoda. 70 MILDRED D. GIRTON CATAWISSA, PA. Bloomsbirc High School Milly Mildred was one of the most charming girls of the class. She had a fine disposi- tion and was very agreeable with her class- mates. She always had a smile for every- one, and was very popular both in school and out. e all thought a great deal of her, but we are sure someone else thought more. As a student she has done remark- ably well, and no doubt she will take a course in Domestic Science and be equally as successful. We have not beard of any of the plans which she has made for the future, but we feel sure that in whatever she undertakes she will be successful. HELEN GRIBBEN DUNMORE, PA. DuNMORE High School Gribbeny This is Helen, the optimistic, happy-go- lucky, and ever cheerful girl. She is tall, with black hair and beautiful gray eyes. Being a good kidder. she is liked by members of both Dorms. She is a jolly member of the second floor troop and is always ready for a spread. But that ' s not the only place she shines. You just ought to observe her teaching — well, judge for yourself, then. Her hair, as you see. is the envy of all those whom fate has decreed should have straight hair. She can always be seen down-town after 3:30. every night possible, and like Grape-Nuts, there ' s a reason. Helen is a good scholar, but we can ' t imagine her applying for a pension after having spent thirty years in teaching the Primary kiddies. We are sure she will make a success in life. Here ' s all good wishes. Helen. 71 F. LUCILE GROFF WILKES-BARRE. PA. Shickshinny High School When Lucile first came to B. S. N. S. she was a homesick little girl, but it wasn ' t long until she was one of the smiling flowers of back hall on fourth floor. Giggles should have been her middle name. She giggles from sunrise to sunset and then some more. If you should happen to stroll along back hall about 10:1.S you will most generally hear her giggle suppressed in a pillow. If not, she will be seen hanging out the door, calling for the proctor and ask them how much water she can drink after ten o ' clock! Her roommate ' s brothers seem to inter- est her a great deal. Last year it was Jack, and we surely heard some sweet things about that dear boy. But this year Bob was added to the list. Say, Lucile, where did you get that tie pin that you wore so long? But the time she liked best was saying good-bye. What happened then? Ask Lucile or Bob! Success be yours. VELMA BELLE GROSVENOR PECK ILLE. PA. Blakely High School Velma Velma came to us a very sweet and de- mure little girl. Her first night here proved to be a tragic one to her as well as to some others. She spent it sleeping or rather trying to sleep on her trunk! How was that, Velma? ' elnia is quiet — yes, sometimes she is! But when anyone gets her down on the bed. and starts tickling her, she would awaken the dead with her screams. And when she giggles — well. I can ' t explain it, you ' ll have to hear for yourself. When- ever something funny happens she is off, ' and you may depend on her being off for at least an hour, if not more. SjTacuse holds a great charm for her, from which place weekly epistles arrived and are cherished by the reader. Often boxes of candy come from an anonymous sender. But never mind. Velma, every lover has his love, so why shouldn ' t Reuel have his Velma? To those who know her she has proven a wonderful friend. Yours is the good wishes of the class of ' 24. 72 FRANCES M. HAHN WEST PITTSTON, PA. West Pittston High School Angel Chihr If you were to be on third floor annex some night about ten o ' clock you would probably hear: Harper. Oh. Harper! in a stage whisper from a certain window. Yes, ' Angel Child. ' what is it? ' Oh, Harper, I ' m starved — get me something to eat, will you? And then follows a long dialogue, but we wont reveal any more se- crets, Frankie. Frances belongs to the dining room bunch, one of the liveliest of them, too. There is never any fun that she misses, at least not if she can help it. It has been said that if anyone feels blue they should go to Frances Hahn; that if you want to feel as if you have no cares in the world, you should listen to her chatter for a while. Everything about her radiates joy and happiness and a per- son could not long remain blue in her presence. This is a fine quality, Frances. We hope that it may always be yours and that it always brings you success as it did at Normal. MARGARET L. HALL MT. CARMEL, PA. Locust Gap Township High School Blonde hair, big eyes, laughing mouth, and a cheery greeting — these make up our Margaret. She s called the Life of the Party ' by her friends. And, judging by the noise coming from her room some- times, we believe it. She, too, has found her interests do Tl- town. And we don t mean in teaching, either; although she is good at doing that, too. The class of ' 24 predicts a speedy finish to school teaching, Margaret, and wishes you the best of luck and happiness for your futirre. 73 LEONORE C. HART WILKESBARRE. PA. Wilkes-Barre High School Lee Lee, ' after teaching and attending sum- mer school, decided to spend her Senior year with us. You have heard the old say- ing, the more the merrier, and with her smile and hearty laugh, she is always wel- come wherever she goes, especiallv here at B. S. N. S. There is a slogan, Art for ' Art ' s sake, which may be applied to Lee. All her time is spent in studying and teaching Art. but all her spare time is spent with Art. Lee is very fond of hiking — we won- der why, as every hike seems to leave its traits, for she is seen limping at intervals. About her future — we prophesy a suc- cessful and happy one. Her good nature and ambitious ways are sure to carry her through life with little trouble. Best o luck. Lee. MARGARET D. HART ■RILKESBARRE. FA. Wilkes-Barre High School Peg Being a summer school student, ' Peg ' was known here before she joined us in our Senior year. Dormitory life did not suit her fancy so she boarded down town. Peg ' s favorite pastime is reading, es- pecially when it is 0 Henry s wTitings. .Most of all she enjoys reading his mail, which always arrives every Tuesday noon. Is there any wonder now that she can scarcely wait for that day to come around? There must be something back of all this anxiety. How about it. Peg? There are coops for chickens but we have heard that ' Peg was more than once the chicken in somebodys coupe. . 11 joking aside, Peg is an earnest worker, good teacher and all around good sport. Heres wishing her luck and success in life. LALRA A. HEIMBACH LEWISBLRG. PA. Lewisbcrg High School Loll Laura is one of those who joined our ranks during the Senior year. She comes from Lewisburg where so many studious people dwell. Should you feel blue, go to Laura. She will chase the glooms and bring a grin to your face. ' ' Loll never misses anything, even though she does come late. Better late than never is her motto. The intermediate group is her choice. Her specialty is silent reading. Positive- ly. I can t get this, she declares, but she does, as we all know. Good wishes to you in your work, Laura. MILDRED HEISS .MIKKLl.NMLLE. P. . Berwick High School Mildred Mildred is one of our day students and one of the jolliest of the bunch, . ' he comes from Miflfinville and every morning (So she tells us ) she starts for the 7 o ' clock car but gets there in time to just catch the one that leaves at 7:25. We wonder if she really tries to make the early one. Her motto is. If at first you dont succeed, try. try again. Mildred has curly, brown hair, laughing eyes and is very tall. .She is always ready for fun and always ready to work. There is no shirking about her. She taught in the Junior High School the first semester and was certainly a success. In teaching art in the Junior High School the pupils certainly had the long and short (M. Long) of it. Mildred is very much interested in her work and from the way she goes at it we know she will have great success in her teaching career. HAZEL M. HESS NESCOPECK, PA. Nescopeck High School For the love of mud! Do you rec- ognize those words? Yes, that ' s Hazel ' s favorite expression when something hap- pens unexpectedly. Don ' t you enjoy hear- ing Hazel tell about some exciting inci- dents that have happened? They ' re al- ways so interesting too. If you feel ' blue just go to Hazel — she ' ll give you some of her sweetness. She likes ' O ' Henry ' s, but Oh, Doug. Hazel is noted for her wit and good humor to those who know her best. Along with this she is one of our most good na- tured girls, for she will gladly assist you in any way if it is at all possible for her to do so. Don ' t you think, dear reader, that she will be a lovely teacher? If Hazel likes teaching school as well as she does horse- back riding, we know, without doubt, that she will succeed. WILLIAM M. HESS WINFIELD, PA. SuNBURY High .School Bill He may be small, but all the same he is prepared to run the world to suit him- self. Do you remember how he used to order the faculty about? For instance the day in measurements class when he ex- plained to Dr. Somers how that problem with Monroe Reasoning Test sliould be worked? Our summer scliool students tell us that he is not so happy as he had been during the summer. Somehow, there seems to be something lacking in his life. If there is, it doesn ' t show in his studies for he is a A-1 student, and can be depended upon to say something when called upon. Judg- ing from his ability, to manage things, we believe that he will be an excellent county superintendent some day. 76 1 ARLINE K. HETLER BERWICK, PA. BtRwicK HicH School Her Some of us know her by ihe name nf Arline, others by the name of Het, ' but whatever we call her, she is still one of the dearest girls we have ever met. Het ' s ' loving disposition and willingness to give a helping hand when needed are character- istics for which we all admire and love her. She is always ready to receive and play a joke. Her happy nature and her winning smile have won her many friends among both girls and boys. She is also quite an artist and is often found making posters or painting pictures for her friends. May you have success in all your undertakings, Het. You have the good will of the class. LAURA V. HILE BLOOMSBIRC, I ' A, Bloomsbikg HicH .Sciiooi. Laurie Laura is one of our quietest girls until something funny happens and then, you should hear her giggle. She loves a good time, and is sure to be present whenever there is any indication of such. Everybody loves Laura, especially Somebody, She expects to be a school marm. however, after several years of teaching, we hope she will take to Domestic Science, for she has a great liking for the opposite sex, of which she is constantly talking. We think Berwick solves the problem, doesn ' t it, Laura? We all wish her success. 77 ANNA HOFFMAN EXETER. HA. St. Cecelia ' s High .School Huffie One can never feel blue near Ann. for her jolly, good nature and keen sense of humor makes one see the funny side — even of exams. .Aside from her pleasure-loving nature and her many male attractions, she finds time to devote to study, as her class standing shows. Musical ability is only one of her sev- eral talents. Ann makes music for our dancing feet every night. ' Huffie is a star at cooking. Just try her cake, candy and stews. She can pre- pare a dish dainty enough for a king and queen. Anna is a member of the K. M. M. ' s and the originator of many of their tricks, an ardent admirer of sports and one who misses none of the athletic events. In the training school she made her rep as a teacher and as far as we can prophesy we expect to see Anna teaching school next year in Exeter. Good luck to you. CHRISTINE E. HOLMES BLOO.MSBLRG. PA. Bloomsburc High School Tiny Tiny is one of the snappiest, jolliest, all around sports you ever saw. She likes to do most everything and can do it too. Tiny ' s favorite pastime is walking, ' e wonder why she likes so to walk? Surely there must be a reason. .Not one person would expect a tailor • Taylor I to do much walking. Still there are exceptions to all rules and Tiny has found the exception. Tiny claims she is going to Normal to find out how much she does not know, and that seems to be about everything. In spite of this exalted opinion of herself. Tiny is working as though she meant business. She is starting at the beginning, too, ( Kindergarten ) . Tiny, we know you are coming out on top and to help you reach the top more quickly we are wishing you all kinds of good luck. ALICE HOMET CAMPTOWN. PA. CAMPTow ' High School Behold one of the blonde lassies of our number who revels in the atmosphere of the kindergarten, anil has a glorious time with the kiddies. Where can you find her? Well, last year she was to be found in 248 with Blanche, but if you want to locate her this year, just inquire of Mary Phillips. Do not tell anyone, but we have heard about one of her secret ambitions, which is to prove Darwin ' s theory! We wish her the greatest of success in her undertaking. But now. how about her work here at Normal? Well, it had been creditable, for she is one who can obtain knowledge with little study. So we can say that whoever comes under her supervision will undoubt- edly profit therefrom and thus we intro- duce to you one of the successful teachers of the class of ' 24, I BLANCHE C. HORN RINGTOWN, PA. RiNCTOWN High School ' Horn Now we come to one of the jolly lasses of our class who never worries or frets, but just takes life as it comes and enjoys her- self. Of course when we stop to think, why should it be otherwise, when she comes from the garden spot of Schuylkill County? Many are the things which she likes, which include Punch and almond royals. We have a faint suspicion that her prefer- ence is for the first. However, we suggest that you ask her to be certain, for our thoughts may not be correct, . s to her ambitions and hopes we know very little, exce[)t that she seems to like the idea of teaching. Nevertheless, we might add that we doubt if her present at- traction for the profession will become per- manent, for too many times have we heard of a person undertaking a thing but not fully realizing their hopes. To tell the truth, we prophesy that she will be happily established in a cozy home with Ernest a few years hence. 79 ANNA MAE HUUSER MAHANOY CITY, PA. Mahanoy City High School Anna is an another member of the Eter- nal Three on second floor. Quiet and re- tiring by appearance, you d be surprised how much noise she can make. Ask the various proctors who have known her! Her trips down-town were a mystery un- til we received a hint that there was a reason. However, we hear, also, that she makes a wonderful teacher — she spoils ' em, and at the same time tells them what ' s what. Much success to your future. Anna. MILDRED E. HOUSER ECKLEY, PA. Foster Township High School Hoiiser This little girl comes from the big town (if Eckley. After she had completed her High School course she decided to join our ranks. Mildred, like all of her kind, is natural- ly good natured. You will be able to bear her merry voice ringing through the Cor- ridors of Time, as she has a great musical ability and enjoys using it, for Houser is a firm believer that practice makes per- fect. Mildred has a friendly word for all those she meets, even the opposite sex. We fear that a diploma from this school will not be sufficient for her. Although Mildred loves children, she has a great desire to specialize in music. Here ' s success, Mildred, in whatever you under- take! 80 ARM I MA HOWELL NANTICOKE, PA. Nanticoke High School Minty Minta was full of pep last year and was the trial of the proctor ' s life on fourth floor, but this year she is sedate and quiet. There is a rumor that she wears her jewel- ry on a ribbon rather than on her finger. What is the correlation between these last two ideas? ' Minty comes from Nanticoke hut she is not exactly like the rest of that crowd, we mean, she isn ' t always hiking or play- ing tennis, or haunting Riley ' s. She is one of the few members of our class who earn for us the title of dignified seniors. We prophesy that Arminta will not teach long hut while she teaches she will be suc- cessful. HEISTER HOWER BLOOMSBLIRG, PA. Bloomsburc High School Heat Although he looks like a quiet hoy there is much Heat and steam in Heister. Ask Coach Meade. If things don ' t suit Heat, a noise is soon heard. His main line and ambition is to be a physical director. He has diligently trained for this all his life, playing in all sports in High .Shool and in many at Normal. His big sport is base- ball, and he earned his lettei ' B ' ' last spring at Normal. Heat ' s big trouble is getting schedules arranged at the beginning of each semes- ter so that he can work off conditions. This doesn ' t mean that he is not a hard worker, because he especially devotes a good part of his time to Art and is excep- tionally good in that subject. Heat is also a moving picture operator of much experience and he runs the ma- chine at the school at times. Heat ' ' likes to dance and is often seen at the school dances. He is popular with the fair sex and is never a wall flower. We know Heat will not be a wall flower in life and we wish him the best of luck. 81 PETER C. JAFFIX BERWICK. PA. Berwick High School Mr. Jaffin Mr. Jaffin is one of tlie rare ones whom we habitually address hy the honorary title of ■ Mister. Why Mr. Jaffin is with us in- stead of taking an art course somewhere. we cannot understand, for he is acknowl- edged by common consent to be the best of us all in Fine Arts. If the class wants advice on anything artistic, the first call is always for Mr. Jaffin. He is also a musician, both on the fiddle and the vocal chords. He is Miss Perners right-hand basso, and does the grand opera stuff to perfection. He has a fascinating way of r-r-rolling his r-r-r ' s that we have all come to asso- ciate with him. It is fine to hear him talk to Mr-r-r-r. Ir-r-win or Miss Per-r-r-rner. We e-xpect nothing but success of this Berwick man and we are sure we will not be disappointed. MYVAXWY E. JAMES OLYPHANT, PA. DuiNMORE High School Bi7 y ' A knock at the door with A little more quiet here please. You can just guess ' Billies among the squelched and sub- dued bunch, . lwavs ready for fun. That ' s BiUie! Can she rave ' ? Can she sing? es, ' Billie can do most everything. Among the things she does best of all is spending week-ends at Bucknell — Postum. there ' s a reason. Another favorite pastime of Billies is putting water on her hair. Why? She says to get a water-wave. We don ' t believe her. ( See above picture I . Snookie must be the treasure of Bil- lie ' s heart, for wherever Snookie is. there Billie may be found also — even at Bucknell. Billie and .Snookie are synonyms for inseparability and adorability. Here ' s to our Billie! ' May all her wishes be fulfilled, and may all her dreams come true! MICHAEL JANMCELLI FOREST CITY, PA. Forest City High School Mike Ye?, this is Mike. a friend of every- body in the class. He is one of those fel- lows of the speak when youre spoken to type. However, if you want to have an enjoyable hour just call on Mike and have him tell you a couple of the Forest City Scandals. During his stay here he has made a name for himself especially in the art line. You know Mike believes in signs — he prints them, too — and maybe he can ' t print! Mike is quite a dancer also — they say that he is related in some way to Salome — yes, its inherited. Mike ' is a meinber of a certain trio who are going to teach near each other, but they don ' t know where. Well, here ' s wish- ing you luck. RUTH D. JENKINS TAYLOR. PA. Taylor High School Ruihie Chatter, chatter, chatter, is RuthieV pastime. Her chatter is worth while. Ruthie never has time to be lonesome nor let anyone else be so. Her sunny dis- position and smiling face have cheered many lives at Normal. She is one of the ' Back Hall Gang and a congenial friend to all. She says work and play mixed make a good dish for Normalites. Ruthie ' s hobby in athletics is tennis, in which she is very proficient. She has won her fame by her famous dewdrop which she always lifts across the net in the most fascinating manner by a simple twist of the wrist. Ruthie intends to follow the teaching profession. There is no doubt or question but that she will succeed if she teaches hereafter as she did in the Training School. DOROTHY K. JOHiN BLOOMSBLRG, PA. Bloomsbirg High School Dot ' Dot, as we affectionately call her, is one of our small girls, that is physically. But they say that all good things come in small packages. In Dot ' s case it is true. She has no mean ability in dramatics. This talent was discovered during her High School course. When she came to Normal she took part in our Junior play and was one of the factors in helping to make it a success. Dot is a great student. She is one of our so-called shining lights in English, and Prof. Wilson can c ' bngratulate himself that he had this student who was inter- ested and showed a good result for his efforts. The class of 24 wishes her every success in any line that she undertakes. RUTH MORRIS JOHISS KINGSTON. PA. Wilkes-Babre High School Ruthie Ruthie has quite the best intelligence quotient of the gang. Her perfect demon- stration of distress lOh! Oh! Oh!) re- veals her dramatic ability. Her one re- quirement that all males should be walk- ing on them. Here, too, we have a little second-story girl. She has no fear of cement pits or lengthy night dresses. A problem for the 8 Horsemen : Why does Ruthie start so when a Ford rattles by? References: Tales from Hoff- man. We wish you success, Ruthie. ' 84 LUCILE JOHNSON CATAWISSA, PA. LocisT Township High School Another one of those red-head gals is Lucile. She is no exception to the type for she has a jolly disposition and is every- body ' s friend. During our Junior year we had her with us on second floor hut Lucile found dormi- tory life a trifle staid and preferred to come daily from Catawissa this year. Sometimes the cars get in late and Lucile is tardy at her first class but sometimes the locker room fun holds the gang ' un- til after the tower clock has struck the fatal hour of eight and even then the car is blamed. Lucile was one of the most ardent ad- mirers of R. R. H. even though she had some little trouble getting there. (Autos will have accidents, especially when the driver has his mind more on his companion than on his driving!. Lucile is one of Miss Curry ' s favorites. It rather looks as though she will have a chance to specialize in Domestic Science rather than teaching. May you be suc- cessful alwavs. Lucile. 4 ► li IT ARLINE S. JOHNSTON HALLSTEAD, PA. New MiLFonn High School Here is Arline with her laughing blue eyes and sunny disposition. What could we do without her? She is always on the job and if we are blue, in her room we are sure to find a laughing cure. Is she true? Well, I guess. She is always ready to lend a helping hand and cheer you on your way. Arline is generally right when giving us information but we are quite likely to say to her, Are you sure? Perhaps the rea- son Arline likes to teach Geography is be- cause she has a chance to use her artistic talent in carrying out the different projects. We must say she is successful in her work. Arline, we give you our best wishes for a successful career. 85 r IDA JOHNSTONE BROADWAY. PA. Hanover Township High School Ida Here is a quiet, industrious girl, who is usually seen studying away as hard as can be. She lives on fourth floor, back hall — and is one of the reasons why that hall has never been campused. Ida is always willing to help anyone and is always ready to have fun. too. She has chosen teach- ing as her life-long I ? ) profession, and we are sure she will prove a success. Some- times Ida gets a box. but alas! in case she happens to place the cake on the win- dow sill, a strong wind usually knocks it to the ground. Is that so. Ida? Ida often waits on the tables in the dining room, but she has not yet suceeded in accomplishing the great desire of her life — to drop a tray full of dishes. Ida has chosen teaching as her profession, and since she studies enough, and thinks seri- ously of teaching, we are sure that she will make a success of it, so we give her our best wishes for success. . NNE Z. JONES WILKES-BARRE. PA. Wilkes-Barre High School Jimmy Jimmy is another one of that jolly gang of second floor who share their week- ly fudge box. Yes. it is true that Anne has chosen teaching as her profession — although we have some doubts about her statement concerning her teaching 45 years, unless it is to receive a pension, but — we all know, and of course. Anne knows, that there are more interesting and alluring things in the world than pensions. How about it, Anne? Anne is always seen in the company of — yes! you have guessed it! — her beloved Stella, otherwise known as Pat. Jimmy is also an industrious girl, and can be seen studying every now and then. Anne does love fudge — who is it that does not? But, .( nne. do you remember the day you received a box of fudge, and tried to show us that gravitation does not count by throwing fudge up to some students (?) above. .Anne has a jolly, lovable, good- natured disposition, and always ready to join in fun and laughter. We wish our little Anne the best of luck and success in teaching — provided she does not teach more than 268 years. 86 ESTHER R. JONES FACTORYVILLE. PA. FACTOR MLLE HiCH ScHOOL Toots A good ?port. a real girl friend, a won- derful pal. an all together charming Miss is our Toots. She spends so much of her time in the capacity of secretary to our Dean, it would seem that she has little time for outside activities, but it is not in Tools ' nature to be a grind. She ' s a firm believer that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy — so she manages to have her play time. As a member of the P. T. S. D. she rates high, having fulfilled all necessary qualifications. Toots is mighty lucky we feel, in hav- ing so ardent and constant an admirer in Bill. As a reward for his constancy, we hope Toots will make Bill ' feel mighty lucky — some day. Happiness and success cannot but be hers. V GLADYS S. JONES FACTORYMLLE. PA. F.4CT0R1MLLE HiCH ScHOOL Happy Gladys is indeed true to her nickname for she is always Happy. Her favorite sports are football and sleeping. She never misses a game and she never misses a sleep — when the opportunity arises. Gladys is always ready to have a good lime and is a live wire if there is anything going on. L sually Juniors look toward their home town directions but ever since Gladys has been here her eyes look in the direction of Lewisburg. She says she may go to college, but we think she will do well to teach her two years! How about it Wes? ' We are with you and hope that your hap- p ' ' St and most successful days are ahead of you. S7 HELEN G. JO-NES ARIEL, PA. Lake Vocational School Helen Call me at six oclock. hut don ' t waken me — that is always Helens ' Good night, just a second after the lights out bell has chas ed us to bed. We always do just as were told, and are not surprised to see Helen dashing madly about at five minutes of nine, in the morning. And she can dash — Oh, yes! Just ask certain people in Carbondale. Helen just dotes on agriculture and measurements. So much so that we feel certain the rural schools of tomorrow will all have gardens and L Q s. So be it — if Helen does the deed. Besides being able to enter the choice profession of teaching, Helen is also a Domestic Science expert — practically speak- ing. This gives her another excellent rec- ommendation, and we all admit she de- serves good ones. So, Helen, the most of luck, and the best of good wishes from all of us, to you. MARGARET J. JONES SCRANTON. PA. Central High School Peg ' Now listen here — Sap — this is the usual way of beginning when giving ad- vice to one of the Eternal Three. Mar- garet came from a little place up the val- ley called Scranton. With her she brought many novel ideas about women ' s clubs, ten- nis and how to eat a weiner with onions. Many lectures were given on each one. She is a member of the famous U. B. Dum Club and of the Eternal Three. To know Margaret is a liberal education. She is a liberal education. She is a well informed young lady, especially about Stu- dent Government rules. She would never think of staying all night in someone else ' s room without permission, going down town before three-thirty, or stepping over the arch when the mail is being put in (only foolin ' I ) Marg was never known to refuse a dare — an adventure or some eats. A successful student, always, in Blooms- burg, we wish her success in her career as teacher and always — happiness. SARAH A. JONES OLD FORGE, PA. Old Forge High School Sora Notice, folks, we now arrive at the last of the Jones girls. It is our beloved Sarah, who hails from Main Street. Old Forge, (near Scranton I . She is our curly red- head. Her picture shows a rather serious countenance, but when any fun is in prog- ress, Sarah is a spectator, and grins and adds her low chuckle to the noise. Some- times she even helps, when Dutch beds are to be made. We girls think our Sally ' (she doesn ' t like the name! is a fine proctor. No one seems more willing to mail our ten o clock letters, and get us belated drinks. We have even known her to knock on a door and demand. Quiet, please. ' Sarah has chosen intermediate for her field, but hints of special work in music. Best of luck to vou in life. WILLIAM J. JONES ED VAKDS ILLE. PA. Edwardsvile High School Bill Bill. a Welsh monotone, can always be found in the library, talking to a cer- tain Mary, or in bed. He was one of the maids greatest troubles for he was al- ways in bed when they wanted to make the beds or clean the room. BiH ' s love affair at B. S. N. S. was very serious but he is still young and may grow out of it. Dates! Well. Bill ' s ' dates were too nu- merous to mention. He could always be found at a concert, at the movies, and last but not least on the tennis courts where he occasionally won a love game. Of course, we must remember that his com- pany was always the same, for in his opin- ion there was only one girl in the school. We expect Bill will teach in Edwards- ville and hope he is successful. His genial disposition and good nature have won him many friends in B. S. N. S., one in particular, and he will always be re- membered as a good sport and classmate. 1 MARY JOSEPH WILKES-BARRE. PA. WilkesBarre High School Mary Jo The saying. Good things come in small packages. is true in this case. Mary isn ' t so small, but yet she s not tall. When you look at her black hair — you would think the curling iron had been near it. but the truth is it ' s always the same so that ban- ishes the iron. She is ready for any fun tliat comes along — sometimes she doesnt wait for it to come, but starts it herself. In the short time she has been at Normal she has made many friends. Among the things she and her girl friends like best for amusement are going to the movies and the box of eats that comes from home every Thurs- day. Marys famous saying on Sunday is, I wonder if my people are coming down to- day? Very rarely is she disappointed, ex- cept when the snow is too deep. We are very sure that Mary ' s course in life is not to be that of a teacher, but — well, no fair telling. Her friends wish her the best of success. ' 7H 1 HI F v BHH H L.AIRA MAE KAHLER BLOOMSBIRG. PA. Bloomsburc High School Lol Behold! and let us introduce to you the greatest of the blues chasers. Though the corners of your mouth turn down, though your forehead be full of wrinkles and your brow dark and gloomy Lol can dispel every trace of the bluest blues. She has the movies beat a mile. Do you know LoVs Joey? Some boy! Original is our Laura from the tips of her toes to the top of her head and in- dustrious. She always has her work fin- ished and assignments are always in when due. Lol takes the medal for the W. W. R ' s along this line. Lol has a couple of sisters who are among the very best of teachers and it is plain to see that she is going to live up to this good name. too. Here ' s luck, the best kind, to this fair haired, fair skinned maid and may your teaching days be placed among the most pleasant days of your life. 90 1 PATRICK J. KANE FOERST CITY, PA. Forest City High School Pat There is one thing to which everyone agrees. Pat is the wittiest person in the school. No matter when or where he talks — folks laugh. He adds spice to the classroom recitations, pep to the school spirit, and real fun to the over-night hikes. Never, never, will we forget ' Pat around the campfire! ' Pat ' s chief hobby in life is talking, and there are two things about which he loves to talk — Democrats and the Irish Question. No one blames Pat in the least for this failing, for indade. he is Blarney ' s own son himself. a fact which can be readily gathered from his red hair and ready wit. ■ Pat s latest hobby is — a girl, with short dark bobbed hair, and — but that would be telling. Well. Pal. here s luck to you not only in cupid ' s affairs but also in everything else that vou undertake. EVELYN H. KAUFF.MAN DRUMS. PA. Butler Township High School Evelyn Isn ' t she quiet? — they all say, and ' Doesn ' t she blush prettily -and Isn ' t she fond of chocolate coated nuts? They are just a few of her many characteristics. This little maid is another member of the Hazleton crowd. If you are ever in search of a nurse, look for Evelyn. You could never find one more capable. Ask us — we know. Did you ever see anyone more ready to join the parade at 9:2.5. the one which ended at the Y. W. rooms? I sually she headed the line, and the following morn- ing — well, you can guess the rest. We haven ' t heard just when Evelyn will teach, but we all know that her career as a teacher won ' t last very long. Success and happiness, fair lady! 91 MARGARET E. REEFER LIME RIDGE. PA. Berwick High School Peg Peg come? from Lime Ridge! Having graduated from Berwick High, she joined us in our Junior year. . t first Peg was very hard to get ac- qainted with, but when once acquainted, we found that she is a loving and sympa- thetic girh She is the only girl in the school who can talk and study at the same time. .She could always be depended upon to have her work finished and never allowed assigned work to go till the last minute. Whenever Peg was heard to say, Oh, Dear. we could make up our mind that something dreadful was going to happen. She never gets peeved and is always thoroughly reliable. Peg never tells us much about her personal affairs, so we are unable to predict her future career, but something seems to tell us that fate will not allow her to leach long. We are looking forward to the future, but whatever you may do. Peg, we are sure vou will be successful. MARY C. KELLEY EXETER. PA. St. Cecilia ' s High School Ker A tall, bobbed-haired lassie with quiet dignity and grace, and a member of the mysterious K. M. M. ' s. Once acquainted with her. you have added to your store of friends. Mary is a great favorite with the Junior High youngsters, and we don t won- der at that, with her sunny disposition and sympathetic ways. She has held the hon- ored position of secretary of her class dur- ing her two years ' stay at B. S. N. S., which proves her popularity with its mem- bers. Can ' t you imagine her in her spotless kitchen, singing as she works, concocting the various dainties and goodies which she learned to make, from seven to nine o ' clock every Thursday evening during our Senior year, in the Domestic Science rooms ' ? Yes, we certainly envy him. We are glad that Mary belongs to the class of 1924 and predict a successful fu- ture for her as a teacher unless something (or somebody) interferes. Best o ' luck, Mary. 92 KATHERINE E. KING KINGSTON. PA. DoRR. NCETOW HiGH SCHOOL Hurry up. Helen. Charlie ' s waiting! ' ' That ' s what we hear Kathryn King calling every morning. Katherine is one of those girls who never like to be late for class. Katherine is very studious, and although this is her first year with us we know her very well. She spends most of her time in the library. Katherine had her hair bobbed recently. e rather wondered at her. but we won- dered more when we heard her say. Oh, what will Garwin say? Will he like me now? ' No one doubts the answer to the last question. Well. Katherine. you have been a very welcome addition to our class of ' 24 and we wish vou the best of luck in vour career. SEMLL. M. KISTLER HAZLETON. PA. Hazleton High School 5er(7 a At last! Pep personified! . nd found in our old friend Sevilla. Everyone who lived on fourth floor in our Junior year, and also on third floor in our Senior year, knows that nothing ever went on without Sevilla being on deck. It seemed that she always furnished the incentive for any suggestion which happened to be offered. The weekly boxes which arrived in her name will certainly never be forgotten and the Juniors will regret very much that she won t be here next year, . s for proctors, well, if they feel as duty bound as Sevilla in regard to midnight feeds i ? i and candles I ? I , their hall will be a model hall ! ! We all have ambitions and Sevilla ' s chief one is to become an accomplished teacher in one of the western states. X ' hich one? That would be telling, wouldn ' t it? If realizing your ambitions in Normal School has anything to do with accomplishing worth while things later, we know one who will. XXe couldn ' t wish any- thing better than that you keep up the good work. 93 GRACE C. KLECKNER HAZLETON, PA. Hazletok High School This young lady was mistaken {or the French teacher when she first entered B. S. N. S., but then, it wouldn ' t be hard for anyone to make that mistake, for our Grace is very sedate and carries herself with an air of intelligence but behind that mask lurks much mischief, jollity and humor. Everyone knows that Grace is capable of bending to any form of fun. This year some inmate of the suite taught Grace a few chords on the Uke and everyone has been pestered since with I used to work in Boston and ' Jingle Bells. Grace is the owner of the popular music box and part owner of the two more popu- lar records. Miss Kleckner has purchased a lot some- where in the wild and wooly west, where she expects to found a home for pensioned teachers. Let ' s hope she really carries this out. ( In a way I doubt it ) . Good luck to vuu. M. 1 AYE KLIXE BLOOM-SBIRG. PA. Bloomsbirc High School Blonrly This golden-haired maiden is very agree- able, and the entire class thinks a great deal of her. Faye is a very modest little girl. She was always ready to talk, which was creditable in one way, but still in an- other discreditable. She was often heard to remark that she preferred the company of girls to that of the opposite sex, but upon the mention of a certain young gen- tlemans name, Faye would blush rather extravagantly. She believes in saying what she thinks and in standing up for her rights, so we are sure that in the future woman suffrage will not lack support. We extend to Faye our most hearty wishes for the future. 94 VIOLA M. KLINE BLOOMSBl RG. PA. Bloomsbirc High School ' ' Nora ' You wonder where we got the above nickname! Well, just think a little while and perhaps you will remember her ' maid- ly qualities, and no doubt laugh once more when you think of her innocent re- mark. I can ' t print print. Vi hen we have reminded you of her abil- ity in acting we have only touched upon one of her varied interests. Just at present we find her tremendously concerned with constructing a model rural school — a minia- ture one. we mean, of plaster board. Vi hy the attraction, we cannot say. but then we are not supposed to know everything about her. However, the least we can say is that, quiet, unassuming, grateful, she represents a typical classmate whom we recognize with pride. LENA M. KLINGER BENTON, P. . Greenvvoou High School Lena did not join our class until the Senior year. Judging by appearances she is seemingl y one of the quietest girls in .school, but when one hears her laugh and her voice above others, we know that ap- pearances are sometimes deceiving. Early every morning she can be seen trudging up the hill, apparently taking her time as she is a day student and must come on an early train. She is very studious and always has her lessons prepared. It is said that .she be- came so intensely interested in studying History of Education, coming on the train one morning that the conductor had to re- mind her that she had reached her desti- nation, upon which revelation she quickly returned to the present to find herself at no other place than the B. S. . ' Elation. Being a willing worker and having had some experience in teaching before enter- ing Normal, she has a bright outlook for a successful future, and the best wishes of the class go with you. 95 RUTH KLINGER.MAX BLOOMSBl RG. PA. Bloojisbirc High School Ruth Willi have we here? ell. if it isn t another of our town girls. Let me whisper something to you: Shes not very often heard or seen in the dorm, but believe me when I say that she has all the things that go for the making of a fine teacher. She is quiet but very well known in the locker room. She is usually seen with her inseparable pal — Pearl Scott — making twins. There have been terrible rumors from time to time leading us to believe that Ruth is departing from the straight and narrow path of an Adamless exist- ence and is having a date. But who may I ask, can blame her for that? Let us hope, however, that she may have suc- cess in teaching, wherever that may be. HELEN G. KROLIKO SKI GLEN LYON. PA. Newport Township High School Helen Did you see our Walter? That was Helen all the time last year. This year, however, since W alter isnt here, except when he visits, we wait for this ijuestion for even a day after he has left for home. Look out for her when she begins to sing her spiritual love song for if she starts it in the morning you will hear it all day. How many things we can tell you about Helen, but Oh! Let ' s take pity on her. Here are a few: When it comes to putting index fingers to good use, she cant be beaten. She cer- tainly ought to take out a patent, for it works so well. Ask her about this. It may pay you. And conscientious! The donr of every room in the dormitory is open for ques- tions about her classes. Just one thing more. She has finally learned to raise finger-nails. May you al- ways be successful, Helen ! 96 ELIZABETH R. KRUSHTNSKI ■« ANAMIE. PA. Newport Township High School Belsy Here she is. Elizabeth, now. certainly is not the Eliza- beth of September. 1923. Bashful and backward — yes. very much. then, but quite different now. Poor thing! She certainly must hate to be Proctor. She says it is just her luck to have a Storm. We sympathize with her for it is no fun for a whole hall to be campused. One nice thing about visiting 350 is the Fairy Tale atmosphere it assumes after someone has left there before you. This is usually brought about by Elizabeth ' s dis- gusted remark — Someone has been sitting on my bed — just as we find it in the story of the three bears. But heres something we learned about her and which we will pass on to you. If perchance, she should visit you for dinner, by all means serve her Irish potatoes but never mention sweet potatoes or Johnny cake. Success to you, Elizabeth. CLAR. KRZYZANSKI NANTICOKE. PA. Namcoke High School ' ■Buddy Honk! Honk! Klem ' s Ford coupe is bringing Clara bark to school two days after the rest of us have registered, but she simply couldn ' t resist that dance of the night before. Clara is an ardent movie fan and she considers that week lost in which she has not seen at least three good pictures. Like Tom Sawyer, she finds in them a threefold pleasure — anticipation, realization and During her sojourn at Normal she has been noted for her numerous feeds and im- promptu card parties. .She indulges in everything from solitaire to bridge, but en- joys a quiet game most with deuces wild. Clara certainly will make a model house- keeper because combined with an inherent love of neatness, she possesses a keen de- sire to cook and an ability to do it well. -May success be ever yours. 97 PAULINE M. LATORRE BERWICK, PA. Berwick High School Pauline ' ' Pauline is one of our day student? wlio hails from Berwick. Every morning we see her hurrying up Normal hill so she won ' t be late for her class. It was early found that Paidine was a willing and capable worker, consequently, she has been kept busy. When any of the professors ask a question of Pauline he is always sure of receiving an answer. She is one of the serious members of our class. Her motto is, Work before play, but Pauline is always ready to play when it is time for it. On observing Pauline in the trolley car you will always see her with a book, not saying that it is always a school book. We are sure her future as a school teach- er will be a success, for she is interested in her work and overcomes all obstacles. Luck to vou. Pauline. ■ GORDON R. LAUBACH BENTON, PA. Sugar Loaf Township High School Laubach Our first impression of Gordon when he entered the Bloomsburg Normal School in 1922 was to the effect that he was very bashful and quiet. Before Gordon was here long we soon found out that the im- pressions formed were far from right, for he soon became famous in the Boys Dormi- tory for his foolishness and wit. Many times during our stay at Bloomsburg has Gordon cheered our spirit by his witicisms. You must not get the idea that Gordon has only these qualities for he has many others. If you should happen to meet Laubach on the football field you wciuld soon find out that he is a hard worker and a plugger. He is not only this way on the gridiron but in his studies as well. While at Bloomsburg. Laubach has proved beyond the slightest doubt that he is a regular shiek. Since his stay at Bloomsburg, he has had many girls on the string but it seems to us all as if he has met his doom. When Gordon graduates from B. S. N. S. he expects to teach near his home and some day expects to become supervising principal of the schools at Laubach, Pa. 98 J MARY E. LAU ER MT. PLEASANT MILLS, PA. Freebirc High School ' ' Mary -Mary came to us in our Senior year, and besides entering our hearts just as much as if she had been here the whole term, she has become the joy of her teachers. We have heard that she can always be relied upon in classes as one of the doers of the world. While very modest and quiet in appear- ance, Mary surprised us all by her ora- torical ability, through which she staled her opinions, publicly and otherwise! For one thing, she gave most of us an insight into rural work which we knew nothing about. She has chosen the uplift- ing of the rural schools as her profession, and we feel sure that she will make a huge success of anything she undertakes. Heaps of success and best wishes to take with vou. Marv. JAMES W. LAWSOX SHENANDOAH. PA. Shenandoah High School Farmer Jimmie came to Normal from Shenan- doah and quickly made his presence very conspicuous. At the dances and social functions he was very much in evidence. As a dancer, well ask some of the girls. He chose no particular girl in the school on whom to center his affections but if questioned about where he went on Vi ed- nesday and Sunday night he might give us some information on the subject of Town Girls. In athletics. Farmer showed us his ability. He was an enthusiastic follower of every sport, a varsity man on our foot- fall team and student manager of the bas- ketball team. As a hashslinger be was a great success and will be remembered by his school- mates as an energetic product of the coal regions. Farmers ambition is to go to ' ' State ' and we all hope he gets there soon. 99 MIRIAM R. LAWSON BLOOMSBURG. PA. Bloomsburc High School Miriam Serious, considerate, and industrious. that ' s Miriam! She is the second mem- ber of her family to come to the B. S. N. S. and gain from its opportunities, so we have not the least doul)t as to the possibilities of her future. Work is her primary watch-word, we be- lieve, and if she uses as much energy in all her lessons as she does in constructing a fernery in Industrial Arts we feel that no essential will be slighted. But then we get out of life just what we put into it. so success will crown true effort. Oh! we almost forgot to tell you. She can manipulate a Gardner just as well as anyone and finds ample pleasure in so do- ing. Of course, we know she will teach and be happy at her task, for serious and quiet as she appears, underneath that calmness rests a suspicious smile, which often breaks into joyous laughter, making us feel that after all she finds her school-life an en- joyable one. To such a classmate we are pleased to extend our heartiest wishes for lots of luck. MARION LEONARD MAHANOY CITY. PA. Mahanoy City High School Kismet Wide-open, baby blue eyes, her mouth fixed in a cupid ' s bow. our Kismet is a menace to men at large. Moreover, her famous saying is Get a wiggle on! Don t some appearances deceive? But she really isn t such a terror as all that — because she can always be counted on to do her bit in classes. Especially at tense points of the discussion, may her voice be heard — helpful or otherwise. We wonder what would happen to Marion if she went anywhere alone? Or if she forgot to smile? Or if she couldn ' t be found down town every day? The be- ginning of the end, probably. She says she ' s going to teach school until she gets a pension — but somehow, we can t believe that — now could you? Heaps of luck and success. Marion. 100 EDNA LEONHART SUNBLRY. PA. SuNBURY High School Edna Edna came to us in our Senior year from tlial well known place of Sunbury. She was a quiet and demure maiden at first but only a few weeks passed until she be- came acquainted. She is one of the quietest and busiest girls of the school. She is continually on the go from early in the morning until late at night. Her spare time is spent in the library, at least we never went in to work yet that Edna didn ' t have a book that we wanted. If you want to know any- thing, just ask her — she knows. We cannot say that she will teach very long, but we do know she will be success- ful in whatever she undertakes. LOUIS LERDA GLEN LYON. PA. Newport Township High School Louie ■ Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I won- der who you are — thus sigh the fair maidens as they watch Louie perform, either on the gridiron or the basketball floor. You see that Louie. although he is not the largest chap in the world, is one of the leading athletes of the school. He has played on the football and basketball varsities during his stay at Normal. He won special attention in basketball when he was elected captain of our 1924 quintet. Louie with all these athletic accom- jjlishments, is a steady and hard worker in pursuing his academic work. He is a very faithful student and never thinks of going to class without preparing his les- sons — and never misses. Louie s aim and ambition in Normal School is to specialize in Industrial . rts. In writing all of Louie ' s strong points we must not forget his one failing — girls. When asked. Who is that? he will an- swer, Just wait and see! .Mthough we all know that Louie is sure to be successful in his endeavors we cannot belj) but aild our wishes for his success. 101 HELEN A. LEUTHOLT TAYLOR, PA. Taylor High School Lenlh It is impossilile to be in this vicinity long without seeing, hearing, and knowing Helen. Her winning ways would win the fairies from their play, and when you hear a merry laugh ringing through the hall you may be sure it is Lenth. Helen is a girl whose disposition attracts many. She assists everybody when she can. The medicine chest is located in ' Lenth s room. You can find anything from Vicks Salve to Chloroform. When you get a pain in the hip go to Lenth and she will fix you up. If anyone gets brain fag. just let them go to Helen and shell give the right kind and right amount of medi- cine to the metencephelon ' of up the up- per region. We hope that Helen will continue her kind of works of mercy and that some day she will have a D. V. after her name. ELIZABETH W. LeVAN BLOOMSBl RG. PA. Berwick High School Betty That Betty is a bright girl, cannot be disputed when we tell you that she com- pleted the work of her Senior year and left us after the first semester this year. She is the only girl in our class who lias taken the venturesome step of changing her name. We were thankful that her new name was shorter, but as she now writes lioth names, it requires more penmanship than before. This young Mrs. Dentist can give any- one excellent advice on care of the teeth, and she always adds conclusively, My hubby told me that. Betty has many devoted friends and is an active participant in hikes, parties and motor trips. We all wish her good for- tune and happiness as a teacher and home- maker. 102 EMILY J. LINSKILL MILTON. PA. Ti umiTMi.r.t HiiiH School Emmy Lou Emily is generally acknowledged to be one of the sweetest and finest girls in school. She is an officer in the Y. W. C. A. and an active and capable worker in that organization. Her popularity was evidenced in her Junior year when she was chosen as one of the six delegates to the Y. W. C. A. convention held at West Chester and Eagles Mere. Emmy Lou has beautiful curly hair, so when the boys wish to tease her they ask her if her curls are natural. Emily is dearly loved by a large circle of friends and is always willing and anxious to do any act of kindness for those around her. She does not allow her social activities to interfere with her studies and good books are her delight. We sincerely hope that her ideals for a college education may be realized and that good fortune will be her constant com- panion. ADDA M. LIZDAS LAKE SILKWORTH, PA. Lehman Hk.h School Add Adda is a very tall and distinguished looking girl. It is necessary to admit that she looks down on all of us. but this is not because of the many compliments which are always floating in her direction. She is a diligent and ambitious student who is never satisfied to appear at classes unprepared. Her next greatest interest is her — correspondence — for we are all re- signed to the fact that she receives letters from the I niversity of Pennsylvania. -State College and Bucknell. Swimming, skating, dancing, and hiking are Adda ' s chief amusements and she is conspicuously an expert in all of them. Her number eight shoe may be respon- sible for her efficiency along these lines. But forgetting to tease her. we are re- minded of how much we love her and of all the good luck and happiness which we hope her future will hold. 103 HAROLD J. LLE ELLYN PARSONS. PA. P. Rso.NS High School Doc Doc came to us after having had a little experience at State College. That accounts for his superior wit. Harold is afraid to travel alone — at least all the fel- lows think he is because he was never yet seen without his gold dust twin Jamie. We don ' t know how he got his prefix ' Doc, but he sure does give his roommate his medicine. They say that Doc walked from Dan- ville one night with a few other fellows. Well, anyhow they all walked but one — no lliat wasn ' t ' Doc. He is one of the bunch who helps Reillys ' to lock up every night. They say he was sore one day but we dont believe it — it aint ' possible. ell. old boy. heres wishing you the best of luck — we know- you ' ll be a good teacher — providing your scholar is willing. MAX E. LONG BLOOMSBl RG. P. . Bloomsburg High School Shorty . lthough Shorty is about the smallest male member of our class, he always makes his presence felt whenever he happens to be found. Sometimes, it was a shortstop on our most successful baseball team. Here. Max was always a hard worker with the never-give-up spirit. Possibly Shorty ' s hardest work of the course was in his Junior year. when, to the amusement of the class, he tried to explain to our teacher in Geography how lard was obtained from cows. Max is very careful not to let his studies interfere with the more important things in life. Although he lives in Bloomsburg. he has already decided not to spend his en- tire life here, as shown by his patronage to the N. B. T. Co. The towns that this line connects are not necessary to mention. 104 CLARE L0 ENBERG BLOOMSBLRG, PA. Bloomsbi RG High School Sunny Clare surely deserves her delightful nick- name, for sunshine follows in her wake. W henever we feel hlue or have something serious on our mind. Clare is the one to consult. Her chief thoughts are for others and how to make them happy. She loves the out-of-doors and all the plants and bugs are her acquaintances. A faithful friend is her Studebaker which has taken her and numerous friends on many delightful and venturesome trips. Clare is happiest when she is motoring, hiking, swimming, talking. dancing or studying. She is indeed a diligent student, so the highest recommendations of this school and the best wishes of her fellow classmates will follow her through her coming college life. THERESA 1!. LYONS WILKESBAKRE. PA. ilkes-Barrf, High School All the worlds a stage — seems to be Theresa s motto — so we suppose that s why shes such a good comedian. Judging by the noise coming from her room sometimes, we have good evidence to the fact that she ' s something — so why not a comedian? Theresa is a true woman, because nobody ever could understand her. When she wrinkles her forehead, you get the impres- sion that at last you have found the real schoolmarm: the . ' pare the rod kind. You know, probably. Then, ah then, you turn around for a minute, and when next you see the lady in question you begin to wonder if she might safely be left to herself. She swamps you with wise cracks: pulls stunts that were never seen in vaudeville: and in general, acts like a true sport. If you question her about these traits of hers, the only answer you ' ll get is, Ask Mary — sort of a famous saying with Theresa. Now what would vou do in a case like that? However. Theresa, those very character- istics have endeared you to the class of 24 and it wishes you the best of luck and fu- ture success. lOo DOROTHY A. McDERMOTT AVOCA, PA. St. John ' s High School Dot Well, that ' s our Dot, who comes to us from Avoca? Does she look quiet and sedate? Well. you d be surprised. Whenever there is fun to be had she is sure to be on band, especially if it happens to be a dance, gym social or a meeting of the K, M. Ms. ' Despite her appearance of shyness, we sus- pect, after glimpsing into her sparkling blue eyes and watching her dimples, that she can appreciate a good joke and would not hesitate at playing one. Is she studious? Ah, of course when there is nothing more pleasant in view. We are assured of her success in life, for she has reserved a place for herself in the hearts, (Forest City?) of all who know her, and we cannot wonder in a few years from now, if her name is labeled Missing, among those in the teaching profession. Best of all, she is always the same sin- cere, and trustworthy friend! Success to you! MARJORY McHENRY BLOOMSBl RG, PA, Bloomsburc Hick School Midge According to Midges ' ideas everybody belongs in Danville, No matter who voices an opinion she is sure to say you re crazy. Woe be unto the person who distracts her attention from her precious music when she, in a lofty mood, designs to practice. Another one of her faults is that she rushes frantically across the campus and yells in a voice that ranges all the way from A to Qu — Girls, I M thrilled! Nevertheless, the U, B. Dums welcomed her to their midst. She is also one of the Eternal Three. Marjory is one to whom we may look to bring fame to our class. It seems superflu- ous to wish her success, for success seems heading her way. Try and Stop it, Good luck! 106 VERONICA McNAMARA HAWLEY, PA. Hawley High School Very few people in the school really know Veronica. To the casual observer she is a quiet, shy, bashful sort of person. But not everyone has seen her when she is up to her pranks. Only a few of us know how she races up the hall after the ten o ' clock bell to get a drink, has feeds in her loom, or gets into some mischief. eronica is one of our real students. She is always working at some lesson or other: in the library or in her room, she is al- ways busy. She is amply repaid, too, for her work is always done and in on lime. Then she has the satisfaction of knowing that she always did her best. V has made a wide circle of friends and they all wish her the greatest success in her teaching. But we know she will be, because with her diligence she is bound to be successful in whatever she undertakes. BEATRICE W, McNEAL NESCOPECK. PA. Nescopeck High School ' Tis said that Still waters run deep, and that Silence is a virtue, and that Rarest of all creatures is a silent woman. Beatrice McNeal seems to fulfill these quo- tations. Few have ever heard her express her opinion in class, and since she is a day- student, few of us have had the opportu- nity of knowing her. but those who do know her say that she does not always re- tain the silence which is hers in the class- room. However that may lie. Beatrice seems to be accomplishing things in her own way. and our wish for her is that she may con- tinue to do so wherever her footsteps are directed after leaving B. S. N. S. J07 LEONA E. MAILEY KINGSTON. PA. DoRRANCETOWN HiGH ScHOOL Peggy ' Peggy ' is one of the inseparable four and never quiet. Nevertheless, she is a good worker and is always sure to accom- plish that which she sets out to do. Her ability as a soloist was recognized her first year here, and since then she has always been a member of the -•Vgony Quar- tet. If Mr. Moon is heard in loud and and musical tones be sure to look up Leona and you will find her with her head high in the air singing l? I at the top of her voice. . s for taking gym exercises while study- ing Oral Expression, well — we refer you to Leona. Leona very seldom passes her opinions about the men. but. from what we have heard, we think she has some. We feel sure Leona will make a success at teaching and her class wishes her the best of luck. STELLA L LLEY WILKES-BAP.FxE. PA. Wilkes-Barre High School • ' Par ' henever you hear someone ' s melodious voice chiming through second floor hal). or hear someone calling, Anne, Mary. Peg, where are you? you can make up your mind that the someone ' s voice belongs to Stella Malley. regularly known to her friends as Pat. Stella surely does love to eat — but of late, has anyone noticed that she does not seem to be so keen on eating. I wonder why? Never mind. Stella, we love you just the same whether the avoirdupois weight scale says 98 - or 98- ' 4. Our little Stella is full of pep. and al- ways willing to lend a helping hand in time of distress. Evervone knows our dark-haired Stella, even though we cannot always see her bobbed head, for she is not very tall. Nevertheless, we always know she is around when we hear her cheery voice. Well. Stella, we wish you the best of luck and success in your teaching. We know it is not an idle wish, for if anyone deserves success, that one is you. 108 MARGARET MARSHALL WILKES-BARRE, PA. Wilkes-Barre High School Peggy ' Peg standi out in our class as a song liird and as an all-around good sport. We remember her as the fat farmer of our Hal- lowe ' en Party. She demonstrated her school spirit when she rallied together a crowd and managed to get a bus to make the trip to Kingston for the Wyoming game. ' Peggy insists that it is more fun to live down town where you can see a plumber once in a while than to live in the dorm. Thev say her face is serious. If it is, it is the only serious thin g about her. We are glad to have had her bits of humor to add to our memories of Normal life and we are sure of her success. MERRE E. r RTIN MEHOOPANV. PA. Tl NKHANNOCK lllC.H ScHOOL Mem Merre was one of those unobtrusive girls who is really bard to get acquainted with but when you do know her you will find that she has a heart of pure gold, but lier heart is already given to a little boy at home. Merre is a very studious girl. One o ' ten finds her in the library cramming over some subject, . ' he has been very suc- cessful in her teaching in the training school and also in her previous years. She is one of those girls who has the experience that counts so much. Vte overheard someone make this re- mark: 1 know you will make a very good teacher, dear, but 1 think you would make a sweeter picture in a bungalow apron in somebody s I ? I kitchen. ' bat does this mean. Merre? Vour pleasing smile will win for you a great many friends. Good luck for your future teaching and the bungalow! 109 ELIZABETH J. MATHIAS NORTHUMBERLAND. PA. Northumberland High School Betty A good book on practical joking is in demand. On casting about for a likely au- thor. Elizabeth Mathias would seem to be the most appropriate choice. Psychologists tell us that practice and theory go hand in band and that such is the case has been proven again and again by Elizabeth. ' Wild peals of laughter from those who are ' in on the jokes are often to be heard coming from her room and — wonder of wonders, it is said that Elizabeth can appreciate a joke on herself as well as play one. Joking aside, however, Elizabeth does have serious moments which are just as enjoyable as the humorous ones — her nu- merous friends testify to this. Best of luck to vou. Elizabeth! JOSEPHINE L. MAURER WILKES-BARRE, PA. Wilkes-Barre High School Jo Jo is full of spirit and ambition. How- ever, study seems to be an unimportant de- tail in her scheme of existence. Nothing pleases her more than a good show as everyone in the Alley knows. Frequent visitors find their way to Josephine to dis- pense with their art troubles. Art and Dave are first on her firing line. We expect the former to be the lesser half until the latter becomes the bet- ter half. Her favorite pastimes are dancing and Reillys. The old gym would quake if her presence should fail — one night. Heres hoping you go through life laughing, joking, and working. 110 MARGARET B. MENSCH MILLHEIM. PA. MiLLHEiM High School Peg Margaret is one of the quiet good-natured meml)prs of our class. Quiet in class, but ' loud in marks. All who know Margaret will agree that this saying is true, as her class work shows that Iut time has not been ill spent. She carried on a very lively correspond- ence and we often expressed our sympathy for the poor man whose duty it is to de- liver the mail. Of course, this large amount of mail matter proves that she has numer- ous friends, hut hy the frequency of some person ' s mail it is easily understood that she has some very intimate friends. We are only waiting for time to tell its own story about this affair. Our best wishes go with her, and when at some future time a Knight comes riding lo take her away from the school cares, we know she will be a success in the home as in the school room. Sff MATILDA S. MENSCH BLOOMSBURG, PA. Bloomsburg High School Tilda Matilda is one of our quiet students, un- til you know her. Lovable by nature, we are of course mighty proud to be called her friends. Carrying books under her arm means more than an impressive ap- pearance; (here ' s a secret), she really uses them. To look at Tilda you would think her to be very serious, yet she is more than jolly when there is occasion to be so. Alw-ays calm and collected, she holds her place in the class, either talking at the right time, or managing to do it when no one is around, because her name is not on the list of talkative members, which is very desirable, as so many of the Senior girls prefer to do the talking themselves. Ma- tilda never gives us an opportunity to read her mind, so it will be impossible for us to Jiredicl her future. We hope that it will be successful. Ill MAUDE C. MENSCH BLOOMSBLRG. PA. Bloomsbirc High School Maud As we stop, in our busy rush of life, and try to think of our many industrious work- ers, we remember at once this quiet, sin- cere maiden. We know that no bit of in- struction conveyed in a class-room escapes her hearing and that her tasks are always well done. This was true in her High School career, too, and still remains one of her outstanding virtues. To persons of her capabilities and energy we are happy to trust the children of nur rural schools and if Maud works as faitii- fully and objectively as she did in Indus- trial Arts, we can be assured that the pu- pils ' lives which she moulds will be worth while. So, of her kindness, her ingenuity, and her helpfulness, the class of ' 24 is proud. H. ROLD R. MILLER BLOOMSBIRG. PA. Bi.ooiisBiRG High School Miller This young man has a very bright fu- ture. At least that is the prophesy of those people that have been his associates dur- ing his sojourn in the Normal School. When Miller entered High School to pre- pare for life he had no intention of be- coming a school teacher. Later on there came to his ears rumors of a Commercial teacher ' s course at the Normal, and Mil- ler decided that that would be his profes- sion. The Commercial course did not ma- terialize, but Harold decided to go to Nor- mal first and then take up commercial work at a later date. His classmates are glad that things happened the way they did because he has been a big addition and a great help to the class. He is always willing to do all he can wherever and when- ever possible. He has sticking power and great faith and is often seen at the ictoria with a certain party. Harold likes to play baseball and he is a great help to the team. He also likes tennis, especially if he has the right partner. We are sure he will meet with success at whatever he tries and we hope he has many good times. 112 PHYLLIS E. MILLER BLOOMSBLRG. PA. MiLTOx High School Phil Helln — Phil certainly took u? all by storm. .She is one of the species of light- hairetl vamps, but does not. however, pay particular attention to the opposite sex. al- though they do say she has an interest in the Bloomsburg National Bank. Phyllis is one of our talented young ladies; she certainly can sing, and the Gym will vouch for her ability to play the piano. Then, she is most changeable in her nature, so much so, that we don ' t doubt in the least, since writing the first para- graph, that her interests has been placed in a different direction entirely, say the University of Syracuse, for instance. But surprising as it may seem, since we all kne her last year, she does make an impressive looking school teacher. e all like her. and wish her the best. DOROTHY E. MORGAN KINGSTON. P. . D0RRA CETON Hli;H Sf IIIIOI, ' •Dor Dot is one of the members of our class whom one can ' t help but like. She is full of life and enjoys jolly limes. She has also a studious side to her nature, ff you want to know anything about English His- tory or Art, ask Dot. Her interest is in these subjects. Dot is always anxious for mail time. Her familiar cry after the mail box is put, back, is Any mail for me? If the answer is negative, she replies, ' Well, that is strange. I really expected some. They said they were going to write. She spends most of her week-ends at home. There ' s a reason for all things. Dot expects to teach, but we wonder how many years? We predict for you, Dot, a very suc- cessful future and hope you will always be as happy as you were at B. S. N. S. 11.3 ELIAS P. lORGAN HAZLETON, PA. Hazle Township High School £. P dis P. Well, look who ' s here! The most tinguished member of our class. ' E. has been our president for the entire course and has proven an enthusiastic and faithful leader. Elias is always ready to help us. and like all other classes, we think that he is the best president of them all. and our thoughts are not without cause. He is also president of the Y. M. C. A. However, he has interests outside of the class. He is very careful not to let liis class spirit and studies interfere with his longing for Hazleton. Just to mention the frequent trips that E. P. makes to his home town might throw some light on tlie subject. Whether he visits his home or not is of no interest, for the things he does out of school are not near so important to us as those he does in school. We are sure of his success. RICHARD A. MORLOCK HILLSDALE, MICH. Hillsdale High School Dick Dick entered our class in 23. He hails all the way from Michigan and we must give him some mention about sports. In football this year he played a creditable game, and in basketball too. According to reports. Dick loves both indoor and outdoor sports. Dancing? Well, I should say so. He believes in being hap- py and Mary ?????? Dick sure is jol- ly and sociable and always carries a broad smile. He is anything but quiet and can be heard laughing in the halls many times a day. Dick attended Michigan College last year, and by the looks of things. Coach must have told him about all our pretty girls at Normal as an enticement to come here. Never mind, Dick, don ' t let them kid you! ' Dick intends to report back to College next year, and we. the class of 24, wish him the best of luck, success and happi- ness in life. :i4 RUTH ANDREWSON MORRIS LIZERNE. PA. LiZERNE High School -Ruthy Rutliy is the girl with the l)ig heart: collegiately it panl? for the 8 Horse- men. How generously she supplies us with sta- tionery, sweaters, curls, chewing gum and shovels. Shes wiser than OKI Dutch, when it comes to gettin;i the dirt. She ' s a ' Horseman. Ruth has a strong mind. Don t think she hasn ' t just hecausc you saw her eat the dipper of ice cream outside Reilly ' s coming home from Church. Ruth is courageous, having once helonged to the Wooden Soldiers. She will al- ways maintain, though, that a wooden sol- dier, waiting for war paint has no chance against a hard flapper. Our best wishes for success go with you. DORIS .MAR(;. RET MORSE NEW MlirORD. P. . Nt Y Mii.iiimi I1i(;h School Dorii Things we can t imagine about Doris are: Giving the floor supervisor trouble or wast- ing her time. Doris is an unusual girl and does unusual work. While other girls think it sufficient to train for the grades in which they expect to teach. Doris takes additional subjects to broaden her outlook on life. One of these additional subjects is biology, to which she devotes much of her time. Just now she is bubbling over with en- thusiasm and ideas that she intends to put over in teaching her first grade. She is thinking of going to South Carolina when she gets her diploma. This shows her pioneer spirit. Doris has more pep than people credit her with having. If you want to see it, come around at nine-thirty at night and see her pester her little Junior roommate. Her favorite expression is, What will I be do- ing ten years from today? Whatever it is. may you be successful. 11.1 MAE G. MOVER DANVILLE. PA. D. N iLLE High School Henrietta As someone has said, ' It takes all kinds of people to make a world. and among the kinds which are most appreciated are those who can listen well, and contribute their share when occasion demands. We don ' t know about the former, but Maes friends can testify as to the truth of tbe latter. As chance acquaintance with her might put one under the impression that she is quiet and re.ser ' ed. liul if that is your opinion, we say guess again. for five minutes spent in her company will prove that the exact opposite is true. The time is yet to be found when Mae did not have some com- ment or suggestion to make, usually humor- ous. In spite of these failings, and virtues, Mae is a good sport and a good friend, and we wish her the best of success. ALICE R. MULHERIN GLE.N LYON. PA. Newport Township Hick School Alice, better known as Al. needs no in- troduction because of her popularity, due to her kindness and consideration of every- one. We feel confident that when our happy school year is over. Normal will have lost one of its prominent down town stu- dents. Al just loves to dance, but sometimes those rules and restrictions hinder her from indulging in her favorite pastime. Then, again, there are exceptions to every rule. Strange, but true, two of Al ' s interests in Bloomsburg begin with N-o-r-m, (Nor- mal and Norman i . People can say what they please about a ' ' Lizzie. It gets you there and brings you back, too, doesn ' t it Al ? Along with her studies, she is kept busy. It wouldn ' t be fair to tell you of the good times at the Elks, but if anyone would like any particulars, just ask Al. May success be yours, and the good times continue. 116 MOLET M. NAUGLE ;;hickshinnv. pa. Shickshinny High School vr Have you ever come in contact with an individual who just makes you feel that you must do something, be something, exer- cise your ability and aim straight for the higher things in life? Let us introduce our Vi. Despite the fact that she spends most of her spare time hunting earthworms. she has spent enough time with us to make us hate to leave her. She likes to decorate rooms as an . t project. We wonder why! Perhaps it s just practice. (??) We have no fear of her not being an ex- pert biologist, since she is to begin at Cold Spring Harbor at once. Her success is certain, for shell get out of life just what she put in it. Bloomsburg. we ' re sorry to see you lose a real, genuine girl, ves — ■ our Vi. ' OLGA NELSON HAITO. P. . Nesqiehdmnc High School ' ' Olga Olga is a very quiet girl — but — when she begins to talk — she can tell you everything about anything. She is very conscientious, and always does what she thinks is best. She always comes to class with her les- sons pre pared, and she studies very hard to get them. Whenever you go to visit her in her room, she is fairly surrounded by a pile of books. She is a very good-natured girl, and has made a number of friends in the short time she has been at Normal. Olga has so many favorite expressions that we cannot remember them all. How about it, Olga? She is a very cheery person, and can be relied upon at any lime to lend a helping hand. Olga has pur best wishes for her suc- cess and prosperity in her life work — the teaching profession. iir ANNA E. NORDSTORM WILKES-BARRE, PA. Wilkes-Barre High School Anne ' Do you suppose Anne ever thinks of settling down to real, serious study? Slie ' d rather entertain us with her Swedish wit: when she reigns i ? l it s a regular down- pour. Anne is slow, but sure. She cannot be coaxed into anything, but you may be cer- tain of this — whatever she decides to do. it is for the best. We ' ve heard that Anne is death on mail men. We wonder why? Although we will no longer be made joy- ful by glances from your sparkling orbs. we are comforted by the fact that someone else will be in the future. In our venacular. voure a peach of a kid. Good luck in your chosen profession — and remember. Anne. promptness is a shining virtue in a prospective teacher. MERVYN K. NORTON NEW ALBANY. PA. New Alb. ny High School Merve Where are you going little maiden? To Berwick. What for? That ' s what we would all like to know. You will all probably remember how in our Junior year. Merve furnished the jazz for our dancing. This year she is interested in an entirely different line of work — she is chairman of the ushers ' union. Her careful manage- ment of this will make her all the more efficient in her a-a-a future undertakings. Everyone knows that Merve is very studious and if you ever need any help ask ' Merve. She is always ready to give as- sistance. Her work never interferes with having good times. She always has her share of them and her room was always the gather- ing place for all sorts of good times — espe- cially fancy dress shows. Heaps and heaps of luck to yuu. Merve, from us. lis r HELEN L. . OVAK GLEN LYO-N, PA. Newport Township High School Helen ' Here is Helen, a very q uiet girl until we get her cranked up. Yes. this applies everywhere but especially in 279 when Ruth E. visits and the trio begin the gab and joke. Punctual! ell. if anyone is punctual she ought to be because of the attention she gives to anything like a clock. Why she feels lost without one. . nd what an acute sense of hear sight. The stopping of Big Ben ' s ticking will wake her up even in the dead of night. Music teacher? Y ' es, she likes this job. From the way she tutors Rhoda in music and used to tutor the poor things last sum- mer, we think that music leaching is born in her. Success to you in your teaching — the gang. LENA OMAN ORANGEVILLE, PA. Oranceville High School Lena ' Tall, dark-haired and blue-eyed is our Lena from Orangeville. She proves that small towns have their share of pretty girls. Lena seems to be having lots of trouble just like lots of others, namely, affairs of the heart. During her High .School course here, there was quite a case. Now Dame Rumor has it that a certain young fellow out of town seems to he highest in favor. hich shall win? Who can tell? These are questions we can only guess at. .Al- though Lena has not tried her ability at teaching, we are sure thai with her many fine qualities she cannot help but succeed. In her successful career as such, we are sure to wish her our best. We know she will n(Pt forget the jolly good times in the locker room and the excited flurry of getting to class on time. 119 MARY G. O ' MARA EXETER. PA. St. Cecelia ' s High School Ome Cheerfulness is the predominant factor in Marys make up. Her catchy laugh and the twinkle of her eyes were always enough to hanish glooms. We feel safe to say thai all the classmates of Mary were urged on to greater efforts by her cheerfulness. Mary has never been known to refuse a dare, a good time, or to desert the other members of the K. M. M. ' s when on a pil- grimage for eats. But do not think that she lives to eat; quite the contrary, for she often worries along on two meals a day, breakfast omitted. She is always ready for some fun and likewise for some work, and the only time Mary is ever quiet is when she s asleep. It is our fondest hope that success may be yours, and though we part from you with regret, we shall remember you kindly always. ANNA M. ONEIL WILKES-B.-VRRE. PA. St. A n ' s Academy Ann Did you say red hair and attractive? Yes, that ' s Ann. She joined us in our Junior year, and although living in town, she is well known by all. both in and out of school. Every time you mention (OiNeal to Ann, her thoughts wander. Can anyone tell us why? Her favorite color is red. Is there any wonder that she fell for that big Apper- son car with red wheels? That red-head gal is noted for her dancing ability and also for being an all- around good sport. When Ann gets one of her working streaks, then watch things fly. She sure can do it. We all like your charming disposition and winsome attitude. Ann. You say your interest is in??? — teaching, but we doubt it. Here ' s luck and success to you. first, last and always. 120 .M. VERONICA ONEIL FOREST CITY, PA. Forest City High School Von Wm is one of the best little sports in the world and she ' s true blue even to those big blue eyes. She ' s small but we all know that good things come in small packages. . t least several people think so. Quiet (?) Well, you might think so to look at her but sometimes looks are deceiving. e al- ways wonder why Von thought Endicott the center of gravity and we ' ve found out — for she is here bodily but certainly not spiritually. Now Von ' s one ambition in life is to graduate but she refuses to tell just what she intends to do after. Although daily let- ters are a dead give away and Von is one who is firm in her belief. We really wonder if she will follow out the plan of old maid school teaching. If such is the case we all know that with her charming person- ality, sweet disposition and gentle manner she will even win the hearts of her pupils just as she did those of her fellow class- mates. Mav success be ever vours. IDA M. OSTR.ANDER ST. JOHN ' S. PA. Laport HicH School iMitHicwi Miss Ostrander came to Pennsylvania a few years ago from Michigan. While in her native state she attended the County Normal School at Midland. Michigan, and also the State Normal School at Mt. Pleas- ant. Michigan. She came to the Keystone State in 1913 and since that time has been connected with our public schools. It is not necessary to predict success for her in the teaching profession as she has al- ready been awarded that honor. Although she has only been a member of our class since the beginning of the spring semester, we have learned to know her many fine qualities as a student. We understand that her interest is along artis- tical lines, both Fine and Industrial. As a class we believe that she will later special- ize- in Household Arts also. Continued success to vou. i::i L MARJORIE M. PACE LEE PARK. PA. Hanover Township High School Pacy Did you ever have the experience of get- ting paged? Wonder what it feels like? Ask Pacy. It is a thing of small moment in her young life for she ' s paged almost every night in the gym when the piano chair has been vacated. Above the noise and murmur of conversation may be heard a well known voice paging — Miss Marjorie Pace. One of the exciting experiences Pacy ' had at school was that of having her hair bobbed. Many of us can share that ex- perience with you but here ' s one we can ' t share — that of having at one time a dozen or more gentlemen friends. We are sure you ' ll succeed in your chosen profession, provided no one cap- tures your interest in the meantime. Here ' s luck to you. WARY M. PALYA FREELAND. PA. St. Ann ' s High School Mary Whenever you see a little black haired girl, and hear a big hearty laugh, you know it is Mary, one of our down town students who always wears the smile that won t rub off. Mary is known throughout the school as being ambitious, earnest and faithful, hav- ing a pleasant disposition and always will- ing to do what she can to help others, ' i e like your spirit, Mary, and we esteem your ready sympathy and sincere friendship which you extend to all. Of Mary we can truly say still water runs deep. She never talks about her personal affairs, so we are unalile to pre- dict her future career. At any rate, time will tell and we feel that the best of happiness and succeess will be yours, Mary. 122 CHARLOTTK E. PARSONS HAZLETON. PA. Hazleton High School From all appearance?. Charlotte seem tn be a very demure little girl, but did you ever hear her talk? She has the New York flyer beat by a mile. She talks and talks and then she talks some more. The first nine weeks. Charlotte was a frequent visitor to the kindergarten. We wonder why she went so often? Perhaps she liked the work. (. ' harlotte. will you ever forget our first fire drill? You were so anxicms that noth- ing of yours should be burned that you took out your hat and umbrella with you. While waiting for the alarm to ring, you entertained the members of fourth floor front hall with some of your pranks. W henever you see Charlotte, she is gen- erally after money — either for class dues or the bank. Her greatest difficulty in gym class is to keep her hair up. Maybe one of the boys ' football caps would be of value to you Charlotte. Here ' s success to you. CATHERINE M. P. RTRIDGE HONESDALE. PA. HONESDALE HiGH SCHOOL Pal Pat is a quiet little girl to strangers, liut those who know her best will tell you differently. However, do not get the im- pression that she is all nonsense for Pat can always be relied upon to save the day in class by a timely question or answer. Our Pat is small in stature, but we know ' ' good things come in small parcels. and Pat is no exception. Watch her in gym. As a leader and runner she is hard to beat. Pat has chosen the Intermediate work as her field of activity, with Educational Measurements applied to mice as an im- portant sideline. We feel sure she will succeed in all her endeavors. WILLIAM H. PARTRIDGE TREVORTON, PA. Trevorton High School Bill ' Bill came to us from Trevorton. a town which has l)ecome popular to us lately be- cause of a few athletes from there who made a good showing in the preceding class. Three cheers for Trevorton! Keep up the good work and send us a few more! It must be remembered that during our first year at Normal Bill had an added at- traction. I think she taught in the English department. Are we right, Bill ? Bill is a true lover of sports, but foot- ball seems to be his favorite. Similarly he is a lover of the fair sex, but one seems more appealing than the others. To look at Bill one would take him to be a bash- ful sort of a chap, but beware, girls, as the old saying is, You can ' t judge a book by its cover. We do not know whether Bill intends to teach for a profession, or whether he in- tends to go to college. Anyway, he has the best wishes of the class of ' 24. BURDELLA JEANETTE PAUL PLY.MOITH. PA. Plymolth High School Birdie Burdella first loomed on our horizon some two years ago and since then slie lias loomed large for several reasons: 11) She is so tiny: (2) The important part she played in the famous Bureau : l3l Her good line, by which she caught many a young and foolish sucker. By the way, stringing people is her favorite form of recreation, so — Beware! Fine sport indeed for a minister ' s daughter! Burdella is one of the Eternal Three. ' an organization otherwise known as the U. B. Dum Club. This society has had a great influence on her and as a result she is now a calm, pure, conscientious, inno- cent girl, the kind that we need to lead the youth of this country along the right lines. Ha! Ha! Good joke! Burdella. may you be successful in all you do! 12i A. FRANCES PENSYL BLOOMSBl RG. PA. Bloomsblrc High School Fran Fran is very quiet — sometime?. Really though, she is very quiet until roused to de- fend a difference in opinions, and when Frances attempts to do a thing, she does it. and does it well. She is one of the more studious members of the class, although she believes in having a good time. Anyone who has been fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of Fran teaching will agree with us that she certainly conducts her class and looks like a true teacher, in fact, as if born for that particular occupa- tion. Frances is very candid and it really never takes her long to let you know exactly where you stand in her opinion; she is very systematic and methodical — two very good traits in the profession. Whatever your aspirations are Fran, you will attain them, ■we are sure. SARAH E. PERRY BLOOMSBIRG. PA. Bloomsburc High School ' Sally Readers. 1 would like to have all of you til know Miss Perry. She came from Bloomsburg High School. She is one of those happy, go-lucky girls, and liked by all. She is always saying something hu- morous to make those around her laugh and she is also some talker. Sarah is very studious and always has her own lessons prepared, and at the same time, she is quite willing to help the more unfortunate ones. She is exceptionally fond of driving a Ford. If you want to enter into a conver- sation with her just start talking about a Ford. Sarah, we are told, is ver fond of a cer- tain young man. We know also that in the future Sarah will make some young man very happy. We wish her all the happiness and suc- cess in life and that which the world holds for her. V25 DOROTHY W ATKINS PETERSON TAYLOR. PA. Taylor High .School Dot Can we ever forget Dot ? She came to us with that friendly smile anil charming personality which gained for her many, many friends throughout her school career. Now Dot was never a hack numher. for, indeed, we all think that instead of Dot she should have heen called Period. for she was always Johnnie on the .Spot, even when she marked the absentees in English class during her Junior year. Al- though Dot would much rather draw- pictures of Salome and the fair sex or invent some new slang expressions for the benefit of the student body she did find time to attend classes once in a while. Whenever Dot was needed she could always be found in the library posing as Ella, the maid, for a chosen one of Mr. Meade ' s charges or engaging the first dance at the next school party. Dot says she will teach but — well — we doubt it. We wish her success. MARY PHILLIPS GOl LDSBOItO. PA. Central High School (Scranto.n) Mary Pep — laughter — kidding — and a whole lot of good fellowship gives us our Mary. Only the green Juniors would ever think of having a party without first asking her — as the life of the party, and no rooms ever were stacked without the aid of this professional. After all this, you wouldn ' t think that Mary was quiet — but she is, as far as con- versation goes. She doesn ' t have to talk — her eyes speak for her. Hence, we can ' t imagine Mary without a man; without any mail; without a dance; and without per- fect attendance at football games. (We wonder why?) We predict a speedy journey to success, Mary, though along what lines we do not say. Time will tell! And in the meantime, best wishes from the class of ' 24. 126 LYDIA A. POLLOCK WYOMING, PA. Trucksville High School Doris Lydia may come back to Normal Sclinnl next year to specialize in Art and Mu ic (??i. Really and truly. Lydia has artistic ability but she has such a difficult time get- ting people to appreciate it. Two days after vacation. Lydia waltzes into your room and announces that there are only seven more weeks until the next vacation and then she tunes up tomor- row. If you see Lydia crying the day of commencement, it won ' t be because she is sorry she is leaving, but because she couldn ' t have gone the day before. But. we don ' t blame you, we know what those little sisters back home mean to you. Lydia ' s popularity at home with mem- bers of the other sex, makes us rather doubtful as to how long she will stay in the leaching profession. We are sure that it wont be until she has gotten her degree in some college. For she is working hard to realize that aim. May you be truly successful. F. JUNIATTA POST C.AMBRLA. P. . Hi NTiNCToN Township High School June Juniatta. better known as ' ' June. came to B. S. N. . . in her Senior year. She is one of those true-hearted girls who is kind to everyone. Although very studious she always has time to entertain her friends and distribute eats from her week-end boxes. One of her most noticeable attractions is her broad, sunny smile. Although she is quiet, we can always find her in the midst of a fun-loving group making her share of the noise. Her chief ambition is to become a suc- cessful teacher and with her dignified ap- pearance and studious inclinations, we can readily imagine her as a future model teacher. We might as well add that we are sure she will be successful ; and the class wishes her much success in her teaching career. RICHARD D. POW ELL SCRANTON. PA. B. S. N. S. High School Dick All that it is possible for us to say is that Dick is a marvel! His audacity and good humor has pulled him out of many a mix-up which would be too much for an ordinary mortal. If he smiles, it brightens up the surroundings like ketchup on a slice of Normal School beefsteak. There are only two things that Dick has been ever found doing outside of eating, they are joking and arguing. (He is unsurpassed in both I . ' Dick is a ver y business-like young man as is quite natural in a person of his experience in offices. Last year he was one of the most enterprising typists in the Bureau — in certain directions. His fellow workers will never forget his vaudeville sketches with Bob Wolfe when the boss was absent. Judging from his enterprise and constant good humor, we can do noth- ing but predict success for him. RUTH WINTERS PRATT NANTICOKE. PA. Nanticoke High School Pratty ' Pratty is so sweet and good thai a few people think she should not be a ' Horseman. What would the Horsemen ' say to that? e know she ' s good but that is not all we know. We know- she has a terribly strong will; we found that out while the Wooden Octet was in training camp. S ' e know she has the stuff, and she struts it: she jiggs it: and above all she gallops it with us by day. yes — even by night: and eats fudge. That Pratty ' s clever with her feet is not only seen in the dance hall. Watch the way she steps on a railroad trestle do- ing two things at once. Mav vou be successful in all you do. 12S ETHEL M. PRICE FORTY FORT. PA. Forty Fort High School Ethel is one of the quiet members of our class, and because of her quietness and seeming inoblrusiveness. we have not l)een able to become very well acquainted with her during her two years ' stay here at B. S. N. S. But Ethel is also a noted giggler and finds the funny side of a joke easily. Then she giggles, and giggles, and giggles some more. She is some giggler! Another char- acteristic of hers is her hello! Whenever you hear a hello that lasts about two minutes you may be sure to find Ethel around. She is quite interested in rural school work and hopes to be at work in one of those schools next year. Then, she will be in the height of her glory. She says that she is going to teach forever, but maybe, if a handsome young man interests her, she may change her mind. Ethel is a studious girl, and a conscien- tious worker. Whenever she has anything to he done, she does it. and does it well. This and her plea.sant smile will gain for her much success in life! EDNA R. PI RSEL BLOOMSBIRG. PA. Bloomsblrg High School Ted One ' s first impression of Edna is that she is quiet and bashful, but when you be- come acquainted with her you change your opinion. She is in fact, rather noisy. Ed- na is studious and energetic, a good sport, always ready for a good lime. She rather expects to be a school teaclier but we doubt it. Never mind. Edna, this is all right! We ' ve never been quite sure where her fancy lies. Is it Benton. Milton. Maryland, or your old home town. Bloomsburg? She is going to he a school teacher, too. Be assured that the future generations will be one of geniuses under the teachings of Edna. She will succeed, because she knows what she wants and goes after it. She is a friend of everyone, and we wish her all the happiness and success in life that the world holds for her. 129 ELEANOR E. RABERT FORTY FORT. PA. Forty Fort High School Eleanor Eleanor ' s usual question when she ques- tions at all is: Here comes a Ford coupe up the hill, I wonder ? So do we, but whats the use? As far as we can see, the initials on the coupe are C. F.. and it usually travels 30 miles an hour from Forty Fort to B. S. N. S. ( ?  Forty Fort is where the Indians had their famous massacre a few years ago. but Eleanor says they ' ve outgrown such childish things and have a real town liall and every- thing. Eleanor is the most studiously inclined member of the intermediate teaching group. She has both the town and school libraries up and doing and her mail box usually contains an overdue notice. Fifth Street School and Forty Fort agree that they cannot do without her so Eleanor is going to find her success in the latter place and our best wishes go with her. STASIA J. RAIEWSKI GLEN LYON. PA. Newport Township High School Sta You will agree with us that she is a peach, yes, in every way — looks, super- visorship. friendliness and all. Her career as floor supervisor certainly proved this. When it comes to jokes. ' Sta s have no equal. We will never forget that sick one. Well. Sta. it might have been all right to do the sick part — of course, that was need- ed — but. Oh. poor slayer. Will Betsy ever forget that night? However, it takes I col operation to play a joke, we agree. Of course, she and ' Zosh are also good fishers. They go on fishing expeditions rather often but never tell us anything about their catch. We infer, however, that they are successful, since they use Mart ' s candy rather often. However, we wish you success in the teaching field, Sta. ' 130 ALMN E. RELNBOLD M KE.MBEKG. PA. Ni liEMBERC High School Reiny Here is one member of our class who felt the call and returned to us in his Senior year. Reiny had previously spent one winter and one summer term here. In the intervening year. Ar played the role of a successful teacher. Alvin is a day student who takes his meals at school, and it is not an uncommon sight to see him hurrying up the hill at about 7:09 every morning. Hurrying to meals is not the only time Reiny moves fast, as he often makes flying trips to -Nuremberg for a cause that is just as im- portant to him as his meals. ' Al is one of our smallest boys, but when it comes to making a noise he is right on the job. He has brains and lots of ambition, but, except when necessary, as in teaching, does not bother to use either. Nevertheless, we predict a briglit future for him. .- .i Ai N. LOIS RE-MLEY BLOOMSBl KG. PA. Bloomsbi Rc High Schoof. Shorly Lois is the scream of our class, always jolly and ready for a good time. She is rather talkative even if she is the sliort- est female member of the class along with the virtue of being a lovable and pleasant girl. You may think she is quiet, but her associates disagree. She is ever willing to say what she means. Lois high am- bitions are leading her to be a school mis- tress. Lois always took a great deal of interest in the affairs of the school, and was found to be a booster at all times. She has chosen the teaching of rural work as her mark, and we all wish her oceans of suc- cess in her future career. 131 JAMES W. REYNOLDS ASHLEY. PA. Hanover Tow, ship High School Chick Yes!!! We have a Chick. He came to us from the well known High School of Hanover Township, from where a numlier of our athletes hail. Soon after he was at Blnnmshurg . tate Normal School he became a memlier of our now defunct Bureau. James was kept very busy in finding . Q. , I. Q. and Sigma. Of course, it was not all work in the Bureau but there was a social side as well to the Bureau life. There were a great number of hikes and sleigh riding parties which James enjoyed very much. While at Bloomsburg pursuing his studies, James became very much inter- ested in Nature Study and flowers, espe- cially a Rose. Last winter James could often be seen making his way through the snow to Light Street, but this year James is content to stay at the Normal School. When Chick graduates this year from Normal, he expects to teach at home. I am sure if he does, he will be as successful as his Normal School life was. RUTH E. REYNOLDS FACTORYVILLE. PA. Factoryville High School Ruth-E Kind, kind and gentle is she. Kind is our ' Ruth-E. Yes, she is all of this and more — much more. And Biology! Ruth feels perfectly at home when you say this word. How she can muster up enough cruelty to animals when it comes to dissecting, is beyond our comprehension. The Cruelty to .Animals -Association of London certainly should wel- come here in their midst. But setting Biology specialization aside, how about the extent of her affection in other directions? Of course she just loves music (we mean the doing of it I. We can ' t yet see how she never failed, (Oh, gee, yes, once — almost) to miss Thursday music, or red- letter day — on her program. But never mind. Ruth-E. we hope to see you a musical artist some day. Mav success be vours. 132 LOUSE O. RICHARDS WILKESBARRE. PA. WilkesBarre High School Dick ' Blaa. here comes Louise — and since she lived in town during her Junior year, we did not get to know her so very well, but two weeks of that sociable life on second floor, front hall, were full and plen- ty to make us acquainted with her various kinds of amusements. hat a calamity it would be to leave un- mentioned Louises originality. Was there ever anyone who could offer such sugges- tions to the starving, to the blue, or to those in sad need of a party? Now. although Louise is one of those very quiet ( ? I and meek types of person who seldom if ever speaks unless spoken to, we all feel safe in saying that she will never reach that stage of old-maid school teaching. It took us a long time to understand why Louise never could forget WilkesBarre, but finally the secret leaked out — we came to kn iw that Harvey ' s Lake isn ' t so very far from WilkesBarre after all. and that musi- cians are very charming company, especial- ly if you meet the right one. What say. Lou. ' We wish you success. MABEL G. RIDALL SHICK.SHINNY, PA.. R. F. D. HiMiNCTON Township High School Maybelle Mabel, a graduate from Huntington Township High School, came to our class in its Senior year. She is a very conscientious lassie of a seemingly reserved disposition. Among her friends she is always a great favorite. If one has the blues the best cure is to spend a while in Maybelle ' s ' presence. If a person who is a bit too hilarious comes within her influence, they notice it vanish- ing as if by some magic spell. In all her classes Maybelle lias proven herself to be a very good student, but of all her studies, she prefers music, and is usually humming snatches of some merry little song. The members of this class extend to her its best wishes for success. 133 MILDRED RIDGLEY WYOMING. PA. Wyoming High School Midge Did you ever see Midge come up the hall when she wasn ' t whistling? I think you never did. Her song is as gay and cheerful as the song of a skylark. But, there are times when her song is more cheerful than at other times: when she gets a letter from Cuba! I wonder why ' ; ' Whistling is not the only accomplish- ment with which she entertains us; she possesses a bright and sunny disposition. One can ' t be around Midge and he un- happy. Is Midge ever anxious to go home? Oh, no! She packs her trunk only two weeks in advance of the time she is to leave. Midge ' s love for music is showing in her successful teaching of music in the First Grade, where the kiddies can ' t help but respond to her. She even makes her schoolmates enjoy her kiddy songs when she dramatizes them. The saying, Whis- tling girls and crowing hens always come to some bad end, ' is not true of Midge, ' ' because she performs her every duty suc- cessfully. We are sure of her success. MARY E. RILEY WILKES-BARRE, PA. Wilkes-Barre High School Riley Mary is noted for her wit and has often amused, by her performances, quantities of her friends, to whom she is most loyal. After Riley has attended a movie or a play, you may see an exact reproduction of the original performance in her room. But, beware! When Riley passes by and her twinkling blue eyes look neither to the right nor left, and her lips are set firm and her chin is up. there is mischief afoot which betokens no good to the victim or victims. Duty came first in Mary ' s opinion, and the pleasure of others was never over- looked. She was ever willing to offer her services for the week-end amusement, and indeed, no small part of the success of the Back Hall Gang was due to her untiring efforts to assist them in their friquent en- tertainments. May you always be successful. Mary. 134 JAMES RITTER DANVILLE. PA. B. S. N. S. High School Jimmy Although he comes from Danville, Jim- my has a level head on his shoulders. He has his own opinions on almost any sub- ject you can mention and ably defends them in numerous debates in the locker room. He is always ready for a good time and plays many pranks on the locker room boys. Jimmy can hold up his end of the job with the best. He is a hard worker and has been a big help to the class. He is in- terested in sports and is always on deck cheering for the boys when they play. People from Danville tell us that Jimmy is quite a marathon runner. How about it Jimmy? He is often seen among the ladies at the social affairs of the school. ' Jimmy spends a great part of his time in the library pouring over books I?) His specialties are Nature Study. Biology and Church. Good luck to you, Jimmy. GERTRUDE M. ROBERTS NANTICOKE. PA. N.ixTicoKE High School Trudy Trudy is quiet, shy and retiring al- ways to others, but. Oh. so different to those who know her. Her hearty laugh has often been heard during quiet hour when she should have been studying. Not that she neglected her studies, for she was al- ways on the job in class. Trudy is one of the sweetest girls we have known and we hope she Il always stay the same. Trudy has never shown a liking for the opposite sex except in the form of brothers, but she has always been known to take her time, so a change may soon come. She is always ready for all good fun, especially where there ' s eats. However, if you don ' t eat too much, you ' ll succeed, Trudy. so here ' s wishing you the best of lurk and happiness from the class of ' 24. 135 SUE C. RODGERS COALDALE. PA. St. Mary ' s High School Sue This lassie comes to us from Coaldale — Sue with the sunny disposition and love for a jolly good time. This quality, com- bined with ambition, brains, and pluck, serves to make her not only a likeable girl, but the best friend you could wish to have. She always has time for pleasure with- out slighting her studies. She puts her whole soul into any task that comes her way. from some pedagogic problem to fan- tastic steps in dancing. Sue enjoys teaching, but we doubt whether she will teach long as she is very much admired by the sterner sex. In fact. Sue excels in so many ways tliat we can scarcely do her justice in so small a space but we will just say that she is popular, good looking and a good student. Good luck to vou. FREADA ROSE HAWLEY, PA. Hawlev High School Fiearl if do ap- not A demure little lass is Freada. pearances are not deceiving, and we think they are in this case. Freada with- out her cheery smile and word of greeting, would not be Freada at all. so much liave they become a part of her. It is said that Freada does not like to be alone — that she is fond of company, and having a sociable nature, likes to be among agreeable people. If this is the case, Freada. we are sure you will not feel out of place in your schoolroom, for there you will have your share, and perhaps more, of people around you. Your friendly spirit has won many friends for you at B. S. N. S., Freada. May it continue to do so. 136 THOMAS R. ROWLAND SCRANTON, PA. Clark Summit High School Tom No one is willing to deny that our Scran- tiin bunrli is a live bunch. If you doubt it. here is Tom. a typical specimen of all of them. Tom, in his capacity of eleva- tor boy extraordinary, has, unintentionally of course, broken more hearts than any other young man in school. Of course we cannot hlamc him for having a magnetic personality and good looks, but it is cer- tainly hard on the poor girls. They can no more help liking him when they see his curly ringlets and winning smile than they can resist an opportunity of taking the elevator when he is on duty instead of walking up the steps. As Tom was one of the very few trust- worthy men in our class, we made him the class treasurer. Now we are sorry we did it berause he seems bound to collect every cent of our class dues. This persistence 1 1 gilt a D in Psychology, so I ought to ■ know I will by transference of training, carry him on to a high position in life as his elevator has often dune before. ELVA RLCkLE ONEIDA, SOUTH DAKOTA Aberdeen State Normal School One of the more serious minded girls in the class of 24 is Elva Ruckle who came to us from the distant state of South Da- kota. She has taught in the public schools of South Dakota and in those of Pennsyl- vania. We are sure that her influence for good has been felt by all with whom she has come in contact. We missed her during our third semester, when she was absent on a prolonged visit In her native state. In preparation for missionary work in Africa, Elva was graduated from the Mis- sionary Training Home at Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1913. We hope that her training at B. S. .N. S. will help her in her chosen field of activilv. i;i7 LOUISE B. SCHERER TAMAyiA. PA. Tamaqi A High School Loui Here we have the blonde half of the Sin Twisters of room 302. ' Loui was always present when a good time was planned and we shall never forget her make-up when we had our fancy dress parade. But, Oh, Loui, if you ever lost a handkerchief — Oh — Oh — get your glasses, girls! You bet Louise is strong for house par- ties and she spends two hours every day answering her heavy mail. No, she never writes to herself. Loui can take a joke, for her room was stacked once, wasn ' t it, Loui, or was it more than once? She often tried to act cross but her sense of humor always came to the rescue. We doubt if Loui will teach long for her marriage was announced once and caused quite a bit of excitement. ' Mem- ber? To Loui we could wish nothing liut the best of things in life and all the suc- cess and happiness in the world. CATHERINE E. SCHIMPF HAZLETON. PA. Hazleton High School Kitty Thumb tacks in your bed. a mouse in your pocket or a crazy sign on your door, and you know Kitty has been to call on you. Will you ever forget who was the cause of many good times and squelchings on the fourth floor during our Junior year? Kitty always told us she was a good swimmer, but we never realized how well she could swim until the night she swam from the bath tub to her room. It would be impossible for us to forget ' Kitty ' s original dances, but of course, it is best to come and see them yourself. Kitty chose teaching for her life pro- fession, but from all appearances, we doubt if she will teach very long. We wonder why she is so anxious for certain nights to come! ! Judging from all appearances, we know Kitty will be a successful teacher ( ? ) and we wish her the best of luck. 1?.S ELEANOR M. SCHILTZ EXETER. PA- ST. Cecelia ' s High School Schultzie Oflen. Eleanor, you seem to be with u? in iiody only, and not in spirit. When that faraway expression comes into your eyes, we sometimes wonder who or what is claim- ing your attention. At other times, let us say when you are writing letters, or re- ceiving them, we do not need to wonder — we know! Many are the exciting adventures in which Eleanor has taken a leading part. Third floor, back hall, would miss her presence sadly, for slie has been one of its leading residents, both Junior and Senior years. She is always ready to con- tribute her share, by no means an insignifi- cant one, to the general confusion and dis- order. She can be quiet, too. if absolute- ly necessary, but preferably not. Our wish for you, Eleanor, is that the future years may be happy, no matter how they are spent. ROSELD.A M. SCHl LTZ MlLLViLLE. PA. Bi.oDMSBi R(, Hi(.h( School Schultzie Oh! look who ' s here! ' V.hy. if it isn ' t Roselda! Come on over until I introduce you to my readers. This is Miss Roselda Schultz, Mr. Reader, a most retiring flower as the first part of her name signifies. Roselda for- merly resided on a farm above lola. but she came to town and joined our ranks. She is very industrious, studious and energetic. She expects to be a teacher, and we think she will succeed because she wears dark rimmed spectacles that we know give forth such an air of studious learning that people will be impressed. However, we hope, that in her career she won ' t for- get her classmates and the good limes we had at dear old B. S. N. S. EDWARD F. SCHUYLER BLOOMSBLKG. PA. Bloomsblrc High School Eddie ' When we begin to write the history of this classmate we are at a loss as to just what to say in such a small space. Of course, he is our distinguished vice- president. Being vice-president of our class does not take all of Eddie ' s time, for he is also the school reporter for the Daily Grind or The Morning Press. It is not an uncommon thing to see him, paper and pencil in hand, earnestly questioning some member of the school. Eddie is not only a newspaper reporter, tennis star, and a good talker, but a bright light in school work, and in fact anything he undertakes. In view of what his record has been at scliool, we believe that Eddie will become highly successful as a teacher. K. THRYN C. SCHUYLER TIRBOTMLLE. PA. Ti liBOTViLLE High .School This pleasant girl is one ol the mo?t am- bitious members of our class. She believes that whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing right, so you can imagine what kind of student Kathryn is. If we were all like her the faculty wouldn ' t need to know how to write the letter E. Kathryn doesn ' t study all of the time, for she is often seen starting out for a walk, or joining in some sports. Although she believes in ' eliminating ' ' from the Dormi- tory all screeching, screaming, yelling, and calling in the halls, ' ' she is known to have gone out of her room one night for a drink after nine fifty-five. Kathryn assures us that teaching will be her life profession, but one can never tell what the future holds in store for us. She has done excellent work in the Training School so we are certain she will prove to be an efficient teacher in actual service. 140 JOSEPH SCHWALL WILKES-BARRE. PA. Han ' over Township High School Slrelch Stretch is one lengthy representative of Luzerne County as his height would con- vince anyone. He is one of our all-around athletes, having earned his letter in foot- hall and baskethall. In the latter sport he majors as he is considered one of the best centers B. S. N. S. can boast of. It is in baskethall that he lives up to his name of Stretch as he is a jumping Eifel Tower of strength and cleverness. It was not only Stretchs good playing that was a big factor in our athletic success, but also the spirit with which he went into the game. We do ncil know what Stretch ' s ambi- tions in life are but we can rest assured that if there is any possible chance of at- taining success he is willing to .Stretch ' for it. PEARL I. SCOTT BLOOMSBIRG. PA. Bloomsbi RC High School Scottie ' ' From Bloomsburg High comes this las- sie. To Pearl the Normal course has been a happy one. In the locker room her melodious 1 ? I voice is heard more often than occasionally, but you dont know what you have to talk against in the locker room. Much can be said of Pearl ' s taste in cars — at any rate for her infatuation in that direction is remarkable. .She is usually seen willi her inseparable pal. Ruth Klingerman. In the classroom, Pearl is not sucli a bright light as a sure and steady one and for her work with children we predict a studious future. We hear she wants to teach down by way of Philadelphia. We also wonder why? May she be successful in whatever she does. 141 W. LESLIE SEELY NESCOPECK. PA. B. S. N. S. High School Les Leslie has been here fur so hmg that he seems to be a part of the institution. He came hert in 1919 to take up his High School vork. and after graduating from that department, entered our class in 1922. He took up athletics and became a mem- ber of both the baseball and football teams, an accomplishment worth while. Last year we noticed that Leslie was slipping fast but we did not suspect the impending tragedy and were surprised when we heard that be was married before school closed for the summer vacation. We do not know what was the immediate cause for this catastrophe, but we suspect that the Dining Room and the Rural Club helped consid- erably. We wish you luck, Leslie, and with Anna as your helpmate through life, vou cannot fail. FRANCIS SHAUGHNESSY NEWPORT, PA. B. S. N. S. High School Sluick Shack had the advantage of being here a year or two before us and be sure did benefit by his experience. If any ques- tions come up around the dorm, you ' ll hear the fellows say: Ask Shack. he knows. Shack was our 1923 football manager and he surely did manage well. If he manages his classroom so well in life, he 11 be some teacher. His hard work was ap- preciated by all. especially the Coach. Shack also stepped out in another foot- ball position at school — this job a big one. too — he played right guard in both class games and all eyes were on Shack. ' He was also president of bis High School class here in 1921. Shack ' intends teaching in the town- ship. ' although he is not quite sure. Wherever he does teach, we assure you that he will teach something. Well, here ' s luck to vou. 142 r RUTH A. SHELBERT NEWFOINDLAND, PA. Greene-Dreher ()catio al School Riithif Ruthie — all iif her. comes from New- foundland. Wayne County, if you please, and she is only sixty-two inches from tip to toe. Ruthie just adores her Biology classes and — the over-night hikes. It is during class that she makes up the sleep lost ■ while the owls hoot on the hikes. She is made up of pep and spice, and everything nice, just like a regular heart- breaker! Hold er — Penn State! Soon ' Ruthie is going to start on her teaching career and we know she will make those Junior High youngsters sit up and take notice, but they 11 enjoy the process. Who wouldn t with such a de- lightful assistant? If you ever stray into Newfoundland and need cheering up. just look around for ' Ruthie. W e know her biggest success will be in making others happy, even if she does win other laurels in the world. V AGNES SHOOK NOXEN. PA. NiACAR. Falls High School Agnes Here is another girl who appears rather quiet — just wait until you know her and you will not believe she was the same girl. Agnes is said to have a very high I. Q. She does a lot of studying and always knows her lessons. Agnes is quiet — jolly when you really know and understand her. She is always willing to do anything that she can do for you. She is very good-natured and can prove to be a very intimate friend. Last year when Agnes took French, all one could hear day and night was: Oui — Oui. Mamselle. She surely can spout French and she has not forgotten it yet. Vt ell. Agnes, we know that you take your work seriously, and will surely prove to be an interesting and successful teacher. .Ac- cept our best wishes for your success. 143 JOSEPH P. SIESKO XANTICOKE, PA. Nanticoke High School Joe Radio-ally speaking, Joe is one of tlie most popular fellows in the dormitory, especially among the fair sex. He surely does knock em cold. When we first met ' Joe we thought he was kinda shy. hut he surely did prove to be some Sheik. Joe seems to have some talent in the drama line which he displayed in our class play. Did ' ya learn to smoke yet, Joe? Joe is quite an industrious sort of chap who always has everything up-to-date. He believes in work first, then pleasure, but usually there isn t much work. If you ever have any questions as to the doings in the radio world, we ' d refer you to Joe. We think Joe ' will be teaching in Nan- ticoke next vear. if so, we wish him good luck. PETER J. SINCAVAGE SLGAR NOTCH, PA. H. :nover Tow- ship High School Pete Behold, our honorable Pete. ' He is without a doubt a good sort of fellow. Pete believes in the old motto. You ' re only young once, and believes in having a good time. Even with such a thought in mind. Pete ' keeps up in his scholastic standing. He loves all kinds of sports, both inside and outside. Football and base- ball are his outside sports, while basketball and dancing are his inside sports. Pete is quite a glide, don ' t you think, girls? atch him strut if you ever get the chance. On the serious side of this question. Pete ' is a good, enthusiastic player at all times. From reports we have heard, Pete ' s ambitions are to attend either Yale or Harvard after his prep course at Bloom. He has our heartiest wishes for a suc- cessful future. 144 BESSIE A. SINGER WILLIAMSFORT. PA. ii.i-iAMSPORT High School Girls! I wish you could have seen what I saw this morning. oud have died a laughing. You can he sure if Bessie has heard or seen anything interesting she will tell you all ahout it. Bessie is a firm believer in punctuality. For this reason she came to live with us in the dorm in her Senior year. Although her home is in Billtown i Williamsport t. she spent her Junior year with friends in Espy. The street car caused her to be late for class every day, so Bessie decided to live with us. We are not sorry as she is a very peaceful citizen. Besides this Bessie is a good sport and is ready to go to whatever is on the pro- gram — from a Bible Class meeting to a ball game or a movie. Since Bessie is interested in Science, we hope to hear more about her in the scien- tific world, but we are certain she will suc- ceed as an Intermediate teacher. ANNA ELIZABETH SIXGLEMAN PITTSTON. PA. PiTTSTON High School Sinker One of the best known girls in the Nor- mal School; if you can t see her, you can at least hear her. Annas interest in almost anything and everyone makes her a most interesting girl. Her interests are in History of Education, because, when the professor begins to call on the S s, Anna begins to count out the topic she will likely have to recite; dis- tinguished in Art because she didn ' t know clay grew on trees; her interest in music will probably lead to the study of it at Cornell. Since Anna lias become proficient in the science of palmistry, none of us need wor- ry about our future. She tells all about it. Laying all fun aside, Anna has one real big interest and that is Social Studies, Her lesson plan on broad-mindedness was truly a masterpiece, AH the lessons of fair play, honesty, helpfulness, good citizenship that . nna will teach are practiced in her daily life. She is most happy when help- ing someone out of the mire. Everyone knows where to go to when they want help. She is a frieml worthv of our best wishes. 145 ESTHER M. SITLER BERWICK, PA. Berwick High School Have you ever noticed a little girl with black hair and black snappy eyes hurrying through the halls? If you have you will know that it was Esther Sitler. Esther is very ambitious and if you go to her room in the morning, you will find her busily working. She believes in concentration, so she concentrates on her work until it is finished. Then she is ready to join in any sport that comes her way. She believes in taking in everything that comes along. During our Senior year she became a mem- ber of the Rural Club — we wonder why? One of her favorite pastimes is posing, so maybe some day we shall hear that she is posing in some studio. Esther also en- joys being with children and we know that they will love her because she has such a winning way. Success to vou. Esther! EMMA ELIZ- BETH SMITH jMALICH CHLiNK, PA. Mauch Chunk High School Smithy Red cheeks and a winning smile — every- thing about our Emma radiates good cheer. She never talked till she was two years old — but she ' s been making up for it ever since. Back hall, annex, would be a dark place without her sunshine. There is no question about Emmas suc- cess as a primary teacher. Smithy will, some day, acquire fame as a musician. Recall one study hour when the Dean found her seated on a chair on top of the bed, pouring forth from the very depths of her soul, a few harmonious chords of a uke. There are so many avenues open for our Emma that it is difficult to say which she will pursue, Perhaps some man will help her decide. Our best of wishes go forth with you, old pal! 146 MARGARET SMITH ALDEN. FA. Newport Towns hip Hitn SriiooL Margie That Margie is one of our finest, sweet- est girls is the opinion of her many friends and admirers. The confidence which the students have in her was evidenced last spring when she was elected President of the . W. C. A. V e feel that this trust was well placed for she has always devoted herself fully to the many duties which must be performed if such an organization is to he a success. Last year she was sent as one of our dele- gates to the Y. W. C. A. convention at West Chester and later to the Eagles Mere conference. There is a very sentimental strain in Margie ' s nature which is especially no- ticeable in the spring when she spends her spare moments writing love lyrics. She is diligent and capable in her school work, so we feel certain that her career as an instructor will be very successful. HEDWIG E. SMUCZYNSKI (:atawi.s.sa. r A. B. S. N. S. High School Hetty Hetty is one of the most loyal mem- bers of the class. She is seemingly a very quiet person, but after you know her you change your opinion, for Hetty believes in expressing her ideas and in doing so generally succeeds in making herself heard. She is ever ready for fun and a good sport at all times. Yes. she is very studious, too. She has always been faithful to lier studies in all cases, excepting — when an occasional au- tomobile ride relieved her of them for a while. But we can say nothing of this for she always has her work in on time and is always willing to lend a helping hand to some one in need. She has proved to be a true friend to all that know her and we feel assured that she will be most successful in her teaching career or whatever she undertakes. What- ever may be her future, we wish her the best of luck. 147 SARA E. SMULL DANVILLE. PA. Danville High School Saree Ask .Sara ' s roommate what Iut chums ambitions are. She will surely say with a great sigh a desire to follow in the foot- steps of Alma Gluck in the musical world, to beat Tilden some day, and last but far from least, to get thin. Some mornings, when the girls go to room 218 and say. Sara, are you ready for breakfast? She replies, ' Of course not, Lm dieting. But on other mornings she says, ' Yes, I ' m starved. She only diets spasmodically and to no avail. She is always saying. Girls, don ' t you think I look a little bit thinner? The answer is always in the negative and although she has made no progress yet, we all wish her luck. As Shakespeare once said, and Shakes- peare knew, All the world ' s a stage and all the men and women merely players, so on the little stage of B. S. N, S. Saree ' ' takes her place. In the training school, she has proven her ability as a teacher in Latin. English and Mathematics. Sara, we are sure of your success. ROMALNE A. SNOOK CLARK ' S SUMMIT. PA. Hanover Township High School Snookie Snookie is a by-word in the Dorm for fun and lovableness. Behind those dark brown eyes of hers lurks mischief which crops out every once in a while. Her favorite pastimes are. wrecking the rooms of good-natured Chumps, (it ' s for- tunate they are good natured I . and spend- ing enviable week-ends at Bucknell. Why enviable? Did you ever see Haydn? Snookie ' s a good scout. She ' d refuse to tell a tale (even when it ' s an assign- ment I on a chum who deserves the scold- ing Snookie gets. Position is everything in life, ' Snookie, and you ' ve proved that you ' re capable of attaining the most graceful, and otherwise positions; so here ' s the best of luck to you in the position you ' re anticipating whether it be of a professional or domestic nature. Lots of love and best wishes for future success to a mighty sweet girl. 148 TRESSA E. SNYDER JER.MYN. PA. Greenfield High School Curly Some pei ple do not talk much because they have nothing to talk about. This is not true of Tressa. however. She is quiet but we suspect that she prefers to let the other fellow have his say while she lis- tens and learns. Her ready smile and sym- pathetic expression make her silence seem natural and not at all stupid. Ue know- that some real thinking is done under that curly head because when her opinion is asked we find that it is very worth while. Although she is not the type that com- mands universal popularity, in her quiet way. she forms deep abiding friendships with the few who know her to be true blue. Our best wishes to vou, Tressa! BERTHA D. SUNENBERG ILKES-BAKKE. PA. Hano er Towxship High School Ben l am a minister ' s niece. says Bert. Such is the remark used as a cover for her naughtiness. Not that Bert is such an imp. but — well, never mind, you know what I mean. ' Bert and her uke — isnt that a hap- py combination? She certainly does love to entertain us with her singing. Light, fluffy and jolly is ' Bert. Did you ever hear of her being out of sorts? She is very conscientious, loves her work and is certainly making a success as a teacher. We can ' t say that Bert will make teaching her life work as someone else is going to have something of great weight to say along that line. Now. don ' t try to kid us. Bert, haven ' t we eyes of our own? We all say — Best of luck to you forever and ever. 149 VIOLA M. STABLER CATAWISSA, PA. Catawissa High School Vi Quiet, shy. modest, retiring ( ? t tliese are the qualifications that appear to belong to Vi. Would anyone think so much noise could possibly come out of the small town of Catawissa? Viola is one of the popular girls of our class, always around to help her friends, and cannot be surpassed when it comes to being a good sport. That she seems to do a considerable amount of worrying, is very probably due to overstudy, and we are all afraid that she may suffer a nervous break- down if she does not soon stop working so hard over her lessons. Poor, over-worked Vi ! All kidding aside, she is a girl after our own hearts, and we are all for her in what- ever she undertakes. Here s wishing Viola all possible luck. MARTHA A. STAPINSKI GLEN LYON. PA. Newport Township High .School Newport Township gained another re- cruit here, when Martha joined the buncli. Although she is shorter on length she is lunger on wisdom. Ask her for advice on any subject. You ll get it! As you may surmise, she loves to talk, but she general- ly says something worth while. Martha dearly loves fun. whether it he arranging stage scenery for a Junior High School production, or planning an original costume for a party, but her favorite sub- jects are art and gym. Just now she is an enthusiastic member of the natural dance class and we know that the promise shown by her work in art will develop into larger channels. Old lady, luck cimlinue to shine on you. ' 150 SARA K. STEES LEWISBLRG, PA. Lr.wisBURC High School Sara They say that jtill water runs deep. Sara is one of the quietest girls in our class anti the significance of the saying is striking. It looks to us as though Sara will be a success at whatever she attempts. Her hands are small but competent with a neddle: she likes to cook. too. We are told she spends a lot of time thinking of Buck- nell. We really wonder how long she will teach! No matter how long it is, may she be successful. DOROTHY R. STEVENS CORAOPOLIS. PA. WooDLAWN High Scitoor. ■ ' Dor Dot came all the way from Woodlawn to join our class, so do you wonder that everyone here thinks that Woodlawn must be a pretty nice place? Dot is the brunette half of the Sin Twisters of 302, for she is seUhmi seen un- less she is accompanied by Loui. her roomy. She has lots and lots of friends and she is one of the best natured girls we know and if you want to spend a few enjoyable moments, start teasing her about a 62-year- old man or her latest date. And. Oh. but she does enjoy getting letters, especially from certain towns. You can often hear her call. Oh, ' Loui, ' I got another letter. Dot is quite popular with the kiddies whom she teaches, so we pre lict that she will be a very successful teacher but we doubt very much if she will teach long. We wish her lots and lots of success and heaps of happiness. 1.31 IRMA STEVENS BLOOMSBLRG, PA. Bloomsburc High School Steve from the Blonmsburg s jolly and full of fun. Irma came to us High School. Aiwa she is one of the best sports in our class. Her aims led her to choose Junior High School work and to this group she seems well fitted, for Steve is a girl who is in- terested in her students and who is a real friend to them. Whenever there is a good time to be had Irma is on the spot, and one can always count on her to do her share to make these affairs successful. Steves ' willingness has gained for her many friends, not a few of them belonging to the opposite sex. In the future, wherever her work may be. she will be remembered by many, many friends. Success to you, Irma. GWENDOLYN E. STOUT NESCOPECK, PA. Berwick High School Gwen Has anyone seen our dark-haired viva- cious Gwendolyn about? .Although she lives at Nescopeck, she has made very many friends since she attended Normal. We are sure Gwendolyn must have studied too hard last year — what say, Gwendolyn? Do you remember to what this refers? Think, the time you fainted. Now, do you remember? Gwen is a jolly, good-natured girl, all ready with a cheery smile for everyone, and always ready to do something for anyone. She is conscientious in her work, and will surely prove a success in teaching. Gwen has a personality that readily makes many lasting friends. Gwendolyn has our best hopes and wishes for her success and prosperity in her teaching profession. in2 MAUDE R. STOVER REBERSBLRG, PA. Rebersbirc High School Stover Among us is a very industrious girl known to all as Stover. Her bright and sunny smile adds to the cheer fulness of the hall in which she lives. She is always busy and is greatly interested in her studies. School teaching is not a new job to .Maude for she has seven years ' ex- perience behind her. but we don t expect her to teach all the time. I Of course we are only speaking from hearsay). It ' s a pretty bad policy to get degrees twisted, especially where there ' s a crowd, Maude, so you had better be careful next time. We are sure you will make a success at teaching again, and the best wishes of the class go with you. STANLEY M, SUCKUS WILKES-BARRE. PA. Hanover Township High School Zookie Here is an industrious, hard working young man from the township. His inter- est center around art and this takes up most of his spare time. Zookies abil- ities along this line are evidenced by the pictures with Avhic h he has decorated his room. Some day he expects to enter col- lege to follow his line of interest and eventually become an artist with the ac- companying title of Professor. Of Stans ' many love affairs during his stay- of three years in this institution no one knows much about except himself. ' Zookie ' says that everyone should learn how to deal with girls through personal ex- perience just as he did. The girls say that they fall for his hair but we know that Zookie ' ' has a good line. In closing, we wish Stan success in his future work, for he is an artist, a long dis- tance track man and a curly-headed blond who vamped the girls. 153 MABEL Z. SWARTZ SCRANTON. PA. Central High School ' Swartzie Maliel joined us the second semester of our Junior year. She is quiet and studious and is one of our best liked girls. ' Swartzie is a staunch friend in time of peril. Many a recitation has been saved from flat fail- ure by her keen interest on the subject. Next to room L her favorite haunt is the popcorn bag in the corner. Go in her room any time and she is chewing, chewing ! We wonder if Mabel is fancy free. From her many anxious inquiries at the mail box we have our doubts, and a little bird told us that she has given Bev many a Chase. Success to vour years, and many of them. ADELINE E. SWINEFORD BERWICK. PA. Berwick High School Adeline Adeline came to B. S. N. S. in our Junior year, hailing as a day student, and every morning, rain or shine, she can be seen tripping up Normal Hill, lugging her bookbag at her side. Although she is very quiet and rather shy, you will find when you get acquainted with her that she is especially apprecia- tive of humor, and is a friend worth having. Adeline says she has chosen teaching as her life work. I wonder if we are to take her word for this or wait and see what the future has in store for ber. Nevertheless, we wish her luck. 134 1 RUTH L. TEMPEST SHENANDOAH. PA. Shenandoah High School ■■Ruth IVames are often very deceptive, as Ruth has proved to us. To those who are un- certain we will say she is not a Tempest in the teapot. but a bit of sunshine from Shenandoah. .She spent many precious hours in the kindergarten rooms and won the hearts of all the little folks. Throughout her two years at Normal, she has always been a diligent, earnest student as well as a jolly companion. Aside from all these fine traits she has never lost sight of fun and always had time for her choice amusement — ' Jenks says thumbs up. ?? ? -As for her future we are rather uncer- tain, but feel satisfied that she would qualify as a social secretary judging from her ability at postscript wTiting and reading blurred post marks. She is very quiet • ? I and imly when one hears, Oh! Dash! does one realize that Ruth is on the scene. Here we will leave her. wishing her the success she is certain to attain. RUTH M. TERRY HUNTSVILLE. I ' A. Lehman High School ' Terry Here comes Ruth — always talking — as usual! She is, indeed, a very busy girl. The first year we knew her she was an active member of the Bureau of Educa- tional Research, where they turned out the dreaded exams. Ruth was elected treasurer of the Y. W. C. A. in her Senior year and performed her duties with utmost care. Al- though she is a diligent student, she al- ways finds time for tennis and other sports. As for the men — ask Ruth about them. To mention Darby and Eagles Mere would interest only a few. however, the latest ' man is known to all of us. X e were all curious to know where the box came from that she received on her birthday but it didnt take hmg to guess. For some reason Ruth likes to sing. Jolly Is the Miller, but with her own version. Ruth intends to teach but — were from Missouri! ! loo EVA GER ALDINE THOMAS PLYMOLTH. PA. Larksville High School Eve A glance at Eve would give the im- pression of a very quiet girl, but a visit to ' Paradise would soon change such an opinion. She is the sweetest of all girls, and above all. a picture of Innocence. But never mind. Eve. looks are deceiving and it s heaps better to make people find nut for themselves. Her greatest ambition may be well ex- pressed in the following plea: ' Oh. give me a man. and after that another man. Secretly though, we know she hoped they all would have Paiges, for Eve claims they are more comfortable and a great deal easier to drive than any ordinary touring car, although she is very undecided as to her choice between a Paige and a Ford coupe. I ' m sure we shall miss Eve very much for she is the ring-leader of second floor- front campus. She is loving, kind and al- ways ready to sympathize with anyone in trouble. Although we know Eva was never cut out for a school teacher, we hope she will have heaps of success in her first attempt. ANDREW TIRPAK GLEN LYO.N, PA. B. S. N. S. High School Andy ' Andy is one of the oldest men of our class in term of service, since he received his High School training here. Thus he may be said to be one of the rocks upon which the class is built, having been here for five years. He entered Normal be- cause of a mine accident which left him unable to pursue his former line of work. He completed the four-year High School course in three years, in this way proving his mettle as a student. He is one of the most capable students in Art, his ability being envied by many of his classmates. Andy is also very fond of singing, as he is often heard carol- ing through the corridors of the boys ' dorm. He is a close follower of school ath- letics, having scarcely missed a game since he came here, although he is himself un- able to participate. There is an Oman that there is an attraction in Orangeville for Andy. It must be an orange blossom. On the whole, we believe Andy will he a very capable teacher, one which the class will be proud of having produced. You have the best wishes of the class, Andy. 156 SARA M. TREGELLAS MAHAxNOY CITY. PA. Mahanoy City Hic« School Treggie Sara came to us from the I niversity of Pennsylvania where she had been in train- ing. But she decided that she would rather he a school marm than a nurse. I won- der why? It did not take her long to make a host of friends among whom is one fast i Kling- erl one. She has not been as happy this year as last, but some times over the week-ends she regains some of her old-time spirit. Shickshinny is not so far away after all. Sara insists that she is going to teach for several years but we have our doubts. However, if she does, we know shell he successful because of her love for children and her interest in the work. A good, all-around sport, kind, generous and always ready to help, .she has won a place in many hearts. MARION M. ULLRICH HAZLETON. PA. Hazi-kton High School If you want a favor done, go to Jackie and if it is at all possible for her to help you. you may rest assured of her aid. We are sure Jackie is musical: in truth, she must be full of it, for none ever comes out — and besides, this fact cannot be denied, she has a drum in one year. Seriously now. Marion can hold her own in both studies and athletics. She s an ideal student and a ' shark at athletics! Basketball is her favorite sport, but she en- joys all others. She has a complexion «hirli might easily be the envy of Venus herself. It is as beau- tiful as a touch of sunset pink. Here s to our Marion! May she be suc- cessful in whatever line professional or otherwise — she mav liandli ' . 1J7 A. CLARA ANDERSLICE BLOOMSBLRG, PA. Bloomsburc High School Clnra Here is a girl whose friendship is well worth cultivating, just the girl you would like to meet, as she possesses heaps of good qualities. She has a personality that has won for her many friends and is loved by all who know her as a true and faith- ful friend. Clara has a very charming laugh and she can even be heard using it occasionally. We hope it never wears out by using it too much for this is what gives her that jolly disposition. We wonder why on some days she seems to be just a little bit blue and visits the mail box quite frequently. Well, there ' s a reason for all things. There is no doubt as to Claras success, for with the sterling qualities tliat she possesses, we feel assured that her teach- ing career will be successful, but it may be somewhat short. We give her our best wishes for the future. GRACE A. WAGNER SCRANTON, PA. Central High School Grace ' Yes, she looks quiet and rather reserved but appearances are often deceiving. Grace likes living alone in town better than in the dorm. However, in spite of this, her sweet disposition has made for her many friends and she is loved by all who know her. She is one of those studious, earnest workers, who can always be depended upon to have her assignments in on time. We admire your attitude toward your school work, Grace. Keep it up and success will always be yours. Doesn ' t mail interest you, too, Grace, outside of your school duties? We can ' t imagine who writes those wonderful let- ters, but maybe time will tell, who knows? Your prospects for the future look bright to us, Grace. Your classmates wish you all tile luck and happiness in the world. 158 MARY C. WALSH PITTSTON, PA. St. John ' s High School Mary A wee bit of a girl with brown hair and snappy blue eyes is Mary. She is a quiet and conscientious student, but often sur- prises and delights us when she puts into play her keen sense of humor, especially at the regular meetings of the K. M. M. s. To those who know only the serious side of Mary, she might seem a very dignified school teacher, but behind those long lashes lurks an expression of mischief. She is evidently deeply absorbed in mu- sic as she has never been known to miss a musical concert and is very often found in the rec room where music just bursts from her fingers. We are very proud indeed of our charm- ing Mary, for she is the kind of girl who brings sunshine into the lives of oth ers. A great deal of it reflects upon herself, too. We all admire her for her frankness in dealinz with everyone and know that she has the best wishes of the class of ' 24. GETHA M. WAPLES ESPY, PA. Bloomsburc High School Getha Now. my dear readers, Getha ' s last name is pronounced Waples, not Waples, nor Waples. She always has such a time be- fore people remember the correct pro- nunciation, Don t think that she is a girl that is hard to become acquainted with, for when you meet her you will soon change your opinion. One of Gethas chief enjoyments is read- ing or reciting poetry. Some day you may hear of a great elocutionist coming to your town, and it will be none other than one of our classmates. Every day, rain or shine, she is always on the job. ready for work. Getha is very industrious and takes her school work real seriously. Keep it up. Getha, and we know you will succeed in life. The good will of the class goes with you, Getha. in your teaching career. 159 EVA WAITERS MIFFLINVILLE, PA. Berwick High School Evu Eva is one of our tiuit-t dcnmre young ladies, always willing to help anyone, and loved by all who know her. Eva is like an owl in her wisdom — she thinks a lot but says little. The more she hears, the less she says anti the less she says the more she hears. . onie wise bird, our Eva is. During her two years with us, Eva has always proved a true friend and a good student. She is one who can always be de- pended upon and nothing but success can come to her in her chosen profession. MARIE K. WERKHEISER NUMEDIA. PA. Loci ST Township High School Rce Marie is one girl among girls. Her friendly and helpful attitude toward all with whom she comes in contact gives her this position. She has already sympathized with her pupils to be. She says she will propo e no project work to them, for she remem- bers the hard work the big project com- pleted in a short time took, and she doesn ' t want to take all the joy out of life. Ha! Ha! Her chief desire in previous years was to become a nurse. She has, however, lately been telling us that she is going to be an dld-maid sriioolmarm. Her disposition is such as to warrant success in either the teaching or nursing profession. It will also prevent the school- marm part of her prediction. We shall some day find her minister -ing to the needs of not men but a man. Best luck to you, Marie. 160 r RAYMOND D. WERTMAN LIME RIDGE. PA. Center Towmship High School Ray ' Ray is one of the quiet boys of our class. We can ' t say much about him, as he comes from Lime Ridge and that town is seldom in touch with the outside world. But. if he is as good at home as he is in school, we can vouch for his conduct. He does not make a fuss, is sober and precise, yet enjoys a good joke along with tlie rest of us. Ray is a graduate from a tiireeyear course High School and took the fourth year in our High .School department. Al- though he is very studious, he spends part of his time traveling in his Overland Four between his home and school. Raymond is a very dependable student, and well liked by all. even if he is just the least bit bashful. May you be successful in all that you do. ALICE W. WILLIAMS WILKES-BAKRE. PA. Wh,kes-Bakre High Sciiooi. Alice is one of our studious girls. She not only stands high in her classes but makes a name for herself outside of the class room as well. She is especially interested in Music and she has successfully taught and expects to specialize iti this type of work. Her talent is pleasing to her friends whom she honors but seldom with her singing. Alice doesn ' t only express her love of music through her voice, she also plays the piano. It is hard to ' know Alice because of her studious nature and serious mien, but her frienils believe it is worth while to break through her shell of reserve. Alice reads extensively and displays her broad knowledge thus acquired by her brilliant conversation. We are sure that she will be successful. Kil EDNA D. WILLIAMS NANTICOKE, PA. Nanticoke High School Jimmie Jimmie is one of the smallest, yet one of the most energetic students on the hill. She made a very wise choice when she selected the first group, but we are afraid a stranger would not be able to find the teacher. She is always in a hurry and usually attains that which she seeks, ex- cept ? Her argumentative powers are great but chewing gum is a better policy — sometimes! ! ! Her first trip to Bucknell was very suc- cessful. Here ' s hoping she has just as good luck again. She is quite opposite to her roomie for — she is a worshipper of Man. We can ' t blame her for that however, and we can ' t give her teaching career any more than two years. Success and best wishes to you. FRANCES -M. WILLIAMS EDWARDSVILLE, PA. Edwarbsville High School Frank Our Frank hails from Edwardsville. Why. yes. it ' s on the map. and it ' s a very nice place, too. So is Frank ' ! If you don ' t know her I would advise you to get acquainted with her for she is a friend worth having. Reading is one of her pastimes. Re- member the way you decorated your light last year so that you and your roommate could read after ten o ' clock. Frank ? Dancing is another of her chief delights. If you ever want Frank after dinner, go to the gym. and you will see her gliding around the floor in some handsome young man ' s arms. . he is a very active member of any or- ganization. If there is any work to be done, you can depend upon her to do it, and do it well. She is a conscientious worker, and as a residt has always been one of the shining lights of our classes. As a teacher, she has met with much success here, and we are sure that more success will confront her in her future teaching. But will that profession last Ions for her? You never can tell! Hrl MEDA F. WILLIAMS WATSONTOWN. PA. Dewart High S chool Meda Meda was not with us as a Junior but she joined us in our Senior year. Her radiant smile soon won her many friends among her classmates, and we are really conceited enough to think that she would like to have joined our ranks sooner. We ' re sorry that we cannot tempt her to stay here on Sundays, but the charms seem greater elsewhere. No Masonic dances or banquets lack the presence of a certain young Mason and our Meda. Whenever we wish to cheer her we always say. Ray — Meda! There are reasons w!iy these words are extreme- ly appropriate. She is a student with ability, and is very succes.sful in all her undertakings, so we all feel certain that her future will be full of luck and happiness. I DORA B. WILSON MOSCOW, PA. Moscow High Schooi. KeVSTONE .AtADEMV Dody ' Our Dody is one of the busiest girls at Bloom, ou can see by her initial that Bl SY is her middle name. She has one of the most glorious voices it has ever been our pleasure to hear, and as President of Student Government Dody ' s favorite pastime is patroling the Quiet your gf ntle the Hall, ( f I voice dorm, ' singing. Please ! ' We will hereafter. Dody is indefinable. She is made to love and to be loved, what we could call a peach of a girl, manifesting at all times a fine, true sportsman-like spirit, and is the best friend a girl could have. As to the opposite sex. our ideal for Dody ' is a True Prince! We are sure of his arrival on the scene, soon after she has entered the teaching pro ' ession. Here ' s hoping Success will be your most intimate friend in the future as she has been in the past. 163 GRACE A. WOODRING ST. JOHNS. PA. Bltleb Township High School Shy little Grace hails from St. Johns, but she is known as one of the popular Hazleton Sextette. She has passed away three years of her life at B. S. N. S.. en- tering as a tiniicl High .School student, de- parting as a dignified schoolmarm. Did you say bashful? Well, maybe she might look that way — but when you get her alone — or we should say when youre once acquainted, she can make you surely change your opinion. Grace is making a hit as a school teacher, but we all know that some day shes go- ing to make a home run. Now dont get excited, don ' t be mislead — shes going to help run a home for aged maids, at least that is what she has said. Whether she does or whether she doesn t, we wish her the best of luck and much success. ELIZABETH I. WOYCHIK MOCANAQL A. PA. Shickshinny High School Betty Our chances of getting acquainted with Elizabeth have been very few. since she did not live in the dorm but. neverthe- less, she was a frequent visitor here, es- pecially on Saturday evenings. In the short time we have known her. we have found two of her most promi- nent characteristics — giggling and singing. e ' re looking forward to seeing her name appear in the headlines as the world s greatest singer, surpassing even Galli Curci. And as for giggling, she can sur- pass even the laughing record. Whenever there is quite a disturbance in the hall on Friday morning after the nine o ' clock gym class, you can usually trace it to fourth floor where E ' izabeth spends most of her time. One day Miss Kingman came rushing up the back stairs to find Eliza- beth bein? tackled by five or six Senior girls, and tliey were all making as much noise as possible. Although Elizabeth does have a good time, she is quite a studious girl, and will surelv be successful in the teaching field. 164 ANME L. WRIGHT BERWICK. PA. Berwick High ' School Pebblestones Now. Annie, as you can see from her photo, has very expressive eyes — large, lustrous, and given to wandering. . s she hails from Berwick and has occasion to ride hack and forth on the street car. you can readily guess the rest. These eyes are frequently used in study- ing geological specimens, pebhlestones be- ing her particular delight — hence the nick- name. Because of her keen interest in this subject, she learns quickly, and her knowledge is lasting. Laying all jokes aside. Annie is a fine student and a good sport, always coming out on top. Among her many accomplishments, music plays an important part and we wish her all the success that life can give in the years to come. MINME WRIGHT BERWICK. PA. Berwick High School Minnie Although Minnie has only been a mem- ber of our class during our Senior year, we have come to know her very well. A petite brunette with snappy brown eyes and a charming giggle. Minnie makes a decided hit with tlie Temple I niversity Chaps. . nd among her best and most useful friends is her brother who is one of L ncle Sams employees at the Berwick post office. He it is. who delivers the numerous bulky letters that come daily to Minnie. Lucky girl is she. To Minnie we extend the heartiest wislies of the class of 24 for a successful future. IGo ANNA BERTELLE YEAGER BERWICK, PA. Berwick High School Bertelle This young lady came to us from Ber- wick in our Junior year. Berlelle is a very hard worker, and a faitliful student, which is proven by the success she ha.s attained in her teaching at B. S. N. S. Although she has a cheerful disposition and a winning smile, for her the days are always Dreher. As to her future, we predict her suc- cessful in whatever she undertakes. She says teaching is to be her life work, but — well, we just have to wait and see. KATHRYN PEARL VODER ARLSTES. PA. Aristes High School Kay Oh. yes! here she is! She comes from Aristes and she puts it on the map in capi- tal letters. This is Kay, one of the most loving and sympathetic girls of our class. Her sweet disposition and pleasant smile have won their way into the hearts of every one. She is seldom seen unless some of the ' bunch are with her. Kay is talented along many lines but we are sure she could live on dancing, providing she had her reserved seat in the library for desert. She is always up to her neck in work but seems to be done before the rest of us get started. Now Kay never passed up an oppor- tunity to leave the Normal for a week- end. We wonder why? What our class would be without Kay is almost a mystery for she is, without a doubt, one of its most distinct live wires, both in and out of the school session. We will always regard her with heaps of re- spect, loads of enthusiasm, and much love. 1156 EVA M. ZADRA FREELAND. PA. Fkeeland High School Eva Every occupant of fourlh floor became well acquainted with Eva in her Junior year. Our fourth floor parties would never have been successful without her presence, especially when a stunt was going to be given which required her supernatural powers. Eva was the hair dresser of the school. There was always a line wailing to have their hair curled when Eva started on her job. So, if she changes her mind and be- comes a hair dresser instead of a teacher don ' t be surprised for we know she would be a success at either task. Of course. Eva never woukl have feeds in her room. Oh. no! only about twice a week. And feeds weren ' t all she had. were they. Eva? After you have successfully conquered the teaching profession, please think back to the days we spent in B. .S. N. S. Lots of happiness. Eva, and just as much success. CHARLOTTE I. ZEARFOSS .MOl NTAIN TOP, PA. Wilkes-Barre High School Charlotte? — yes, this is she who hails from the lofty town of Mountain Top. Her first year of .school was not spent in the dormitory and therefore we did not have such a good chance to get acquainted with her. But this year we know her much bet- ter, since she is living in the dorm. If you should visit third floor any hour of the night or morning you couldn ' t fail to see her. for she is usually flitting about tlie halls. Her pleasing personality has won for her a great many friends, both among the gentler, and the handsomer sex. This can easily be proven by the amount of mail received from Lewisburg. Penn State, U. of P.. and many other interesting places, including the town of B loomsburg. Some people call her a heart breaker — they ought to know! Charlotte has also become quite a tennis fan and has proven a worthy opponent to many a good tennis player. . s a teacher, she is bound tn be suc- cessful, and although her teaching years look short, still she has our good wishes for that, and what happens after! 167 HELEN B. n ' DANOWICZ NEWPORT, PA. Newport Township High School Helen ' Helen was one of those girls that joined us for the first time this year. e have learned to know Helen as if she had been with us always. Helen gave us the impression that she was very quel but since we have found out that she is full of fun and life. Her pleasant ways and her sweet smile have won many. Helen is very fond of sports but like some other girls there is a special reason for her fondness of such things. Helen is a very studious girl. She has worked hard during her year here with us. We are sure that she will make a success- ful teacher. May our best wishes go with her for her successful teaching years and all through life wherever she may be. A FRIEND Did you ever stop in the whirl of life. For just a moment or two, And try to define in a few simple words What a friend really means to you? Let us stop for a moment, Twill take little more And try to find out What God made friends for. A friend is of value. More precious than gold. One cannot be purchased. At no place is one sold. A friend is a pal Who never once fails, A friend will stick by you Though trouble prevails. Sincere, upright, honest. Good and kind. All of these virtues In a true friend you ' ll find. ords fail to express Nor can poet s pen. Tell of the value Of friends among men. F. M.

Of course we had to have them, those terrible Intelligence Tests. INaturally. we did well, that fact revealing to the faculty that we are sub-ab and super-normal. But we didn ' t want to do better — for consider how much would be expected of us. We like to boast of our wonderful men. with their winsome smiles. Somehow, the teachers just can ' t resist them. Witness Miss Moore ' s weakness in surrendering to the bovs a few moments of her precious time. The ' ' Boys ' Glee Club is one that anv school might well be proud of. and we know that Miss Moore is tickled to death with it. too • As to the girls — Bloomsburg never saw more beautiful girls than in the class of ' 25. Our beauty is the ' talk of the town. We venture to say that many of us would capture beauty prizes, if we wanted to, but we are too modest. Did you ever know of any class to assemble before the proper time, just to talk with their teacher ' No? Well, this actually happens in English Class — and the students are the Junior boys. Why, Oh! Why are they so popular? In athletics, we are far above the ordinary. B. S. N. S. could never have gotten along without us in the Mansfield game, or in any other. Najaka, Kazlusky, Fitz- patrick.

At the beginning of the second semester, the students, with the aid of the facultv, organized a school paper staff, whose dutv it xvas to manage the publication of a weekly news bulletin. The student body selected the name. BLOOM-IN-XE X S. for their paper and it might be said that tl.e time will come when this title will be well known to all Nonnalites throughout the state of Pennsyhania. Members of the Class of 1924 — support this worthy project, make it a worth while part of the school life of our institution, for after all. the progress of this work will be measured by the extent to which the members of the Alumni continue to sup- port it.

For several of us they began before those who were our guides through 1923-24 had given us the word to ' carry on. ' Early in the spring of last year, five of us journeyed to West Chester, there to meet with those of other schools and learn how to continue the work e had been entrusted to carry forward. Here one of our number was chosen to represent the Normal Schools on the Standards Commission of the Y. W. C. A. The next milestone in our way was Eagles Mere. Six of us enjoyed ten days there — davs of inspiration, instruction and pleasure. Here again our school was honored bv having one of its members selected to represent the Normal Schools of our area at the National Council. With the opening of the fall term, our duties commenced. Our first active ser- vice was welcoming the incoming class and aiding them to become adapted to Nor- mal School life. Shortly after this came the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. recep- tion at which we met each other and became acquainted with those who were to be with us through 23 and 24. During the term manv affairs kept us at attention and very active. Among these were the Japanese Bazaar, which, due to the hearty co-operation of all. was an unusual success. The Christmas baskets aided in bringing the spirit of Christ- mas into many homes, and the Student Friendship Fund drive which was introduced by a talk by Miss ' Quayle which all of us will remember. In co-operation with the Y. M. C. A. we resumed the Sunday evening vesper services which have proven themselves a help and inspiration to us to do our share of work to the best of our ability. Of course there were the meetings every Wednesday evening which were well attended and at which manv members of the faculty spoke who siave us messages which we could carry with us through the weeks and which would help us to be bet- ter followers of Christ. Miss Mason, who is our faculty advisor, has been a great source of assistance. It is she and our president who have been behind all that we have done and who have helped us to be an organization which accomplishes worth wliile achievements.

M. C. A. can be proud of the record which they will leave behind them. They have set a mark which will be a goal for all future Y ' s to attain in coming years. We can be justly proud of the attainments of the year. We have the author- ity of people who have been in this school for years that never before in the recent history of the school, has there been shown such a keen interest in the Y. M. C. A. and such a firm appreciation of its merit as has been shown this vear. This is largely due to the co-operation of the students who turned out to make our meet- ings a success. e must not forget the ever present support of our facultv advisor. Professor Brill, to which we owe a very large part of our success. During the year it was brought to the attention of the Y ' s of the school that this was the only Aormal School in the State which did not hold esper Services on Sunday evenings. It was decided to make this a part of our program and soon, be- fore the close of the first semester, the first meeting was held which proved to be very successful and argued well for the following ones. The officers of the organization who so efficiently directed its work are: President Elias Morgan Vice-President Frank Buss Secretary Carl Blose Treasurer Daniel Smith Chairman Devotional Committee ---...

An unusual amount of individual responsihilitv and tiie co-operation of the students has caused it to grow so rapidlv. At the head of the Student Government is a body known as Student Council. This bodv fixes penalties and fines and enforces the laws. The members are the Dean of ' omen. the four officers, the class representatives and floor supervisors. The moment dissatisfaction arises among the students our thoughts turn imme- diatelv to Student Government. Remenil)er the night of the Faculty Reception? We are onlv in the beginning and have much to accomplish. Let us develop more individual responsibility: let us make our government the best. We. the class of 192 4-. feel that as students of B. S.

It is the room, dear to us all. on the second floor near the gymnasium, filled with shelves, tables, desks, comlortahle chairs, and books. Silence is the golden rule of libraries. The reading tables are well supplied with important local, state, and a few New York papers and a number of good magazines. These are freely used bv the students and as a result such exclamations have been heard: Who has the ews? May I have this paper next? hat s new? In this place, we have bargained tor worth while material and have suc- ceeded in acquiring more than we had expected to acquire, due to the eager- ness on the part of the librarians to help us. especially in our research work. It is with deep regret that we nnist bid farewell to our librarians. Miss Hadlev. Miss Mason and Mrs. Breitenbecher. whom we have learned to love dearly. Their patience with us when we had failed to see the right and to carry out the library rules has made them doubly dear to us.

KINGMAN Dean of U omin 187 OBITER .iMl li MCMXXIV ANNA F. KINGMAN Miss Kir.gman is our mother while we live at B. S. N. S. Her home is in ergennes Vermont. She is a graduate of the Vergennes High School, of ermont Academy and College, and of Emerson College. Miss Kingman did not forget about school after being graduated from Emerson, for many summers thereafter found her back on the job and hard at work on a sunnner course. At this point you should realize that Miss Kingman fitted herself to be a teacher of Oral Expression. After leaving Emerson she taught in Wesleyan College, Canada. Miss Kingman decided to try teaching in her native land. The next college to recognize a good thing was Allentown College lor W omen, at Allentown. Pennsylvania. Because of illness in her familv and her desire to be near home, our pres- ent Dean left Allentown College, and went back to her own state. The next adventure was a follow-up of the dominant interest. Miss King- man opened a studio in iMiddleburg. ermont. where she coached in Oral Ex- pression, the men and women of Middleburg College. It was during this period of her career that Miss Kingman s father and mother passed away. Sad. but without home ties, she answered the call to serve in the capacity of Dean of Women of the Bloomsburg State Normal School. She has served in this capacity for the past five years. We know, however, that although now a Dean. Miss Kingman is still an advocate of better speech. When she stands at her full height and says. Girls, it s the little things that count, who can sav that does not come from an orator? Miss Kingman is greatly interested in young people and does a fine piece of work with them. The class of 24 leaves Bloomsburg, a better class for having known her. D. B. Wilson. 188 SOCIAL ACTIVITIES OBITER iiliiii MCMXXIV Y. M. C. A.-Y. W. C. A. Reception On the evening of September 22, a Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. reception was held in ' he gynasium. We had all been busy getting settled in the Nor- mal but now we felt we would like to become acquainted. We wanted to meet in an informal gathering and really become friends; the reception gave us this opportunity. As soon as we entered the gvnniasium. we felt we were going to enjov ourselves. A general feeling of friendliness was in the air. At the door we were greeted by the friendly glances and handshakes of the members of the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. Cabinets. Each member had some kind word to say as we passed down the long receiving line; we felt that this Normal School was our little world where we would find many new and congenial friends. Then someone struck up a livelv march tune on the piano and we all filed in line readv for the grand march. Miss Edna Munro lead us around the gym- nasium and before the march was over we had performed many imthought of feats. A concert was given hv members of the student bodv. Miss Dora Wilson sang a solo followed by another solo by Miss Moore, a recitation by Miss Marjorie Pace and a piano solo by Miss Anna Hoffman. Refreshments were served, following the program. The ' ' good time ended at eleven o ' clock. We all came away with a feel- ing that we had made new and valuable friends. We just knew we were going to like this Normal School life and we are going to have many fine experiences. E.

Up to this time many of the facuhy had not become acquainted with the new students, and upon entering the reception hall the guests were greeted by a long receiving line headed by Dr. and Mrs. Reimer. As the students passed by the line, which to some seemed endless, they gave their names and in turn met the entire faculty. Thus the faculty became acquainted with the large body of students. The guests continued to arrive until eight-thirty, when Miss Moore and Miss Paterson favored the entire assembly with a vocal duet, which was greatly enjoyed. Alexander ' s Orchestra furnished music for the occasion, to which the gay gathering danced until ten-thirty o ' clock, when refreshments were served. At eleven o ' clock the assembly broke up and the faculty, as well as the students, left with a more congenial feeling toward their new friends. All agreed that a very enjoyable evening had been spent. R.

The gymnasium, in its fantastic decorations, was a charm- ing aspect for those who participated in the enjovment of the evening. The judges consisted of faculty members. Tiieir duty was to select the prize winning costumes. Their decisions were as follows: Most Beautiful — Two Colonial Dames Most Umque Costume — Keep Off the Grass - - - Miss Ruth Owens ( Miss Clara Martin I Miss Ruth Walper Most Popular Unique — Yes! We Have No Bananas Miss Martha Stapinski Prettiest — Irish Maid Miss Viola Bohn Funniest — Bottle of Barleycorn Miss Ruth Terry An interesting program followed, one of the important features being the dance given bv the ' Wooden Octette. We hope that the future students of B. S. N. S. may experience manv more occasions that will afford them as much pleasure as this one did us. The Valentine Party was held in the gymnasium, on Thursday evening. Feb- ruary 14- .IS usual, the colorful appearance of the B. S. . S. girls created an at- mosphere of enthusiasm. The faculty members were there en masse. They gave an air of dignitv to the occasion. The visitors were also conspicuous, and we hoped they did not regret their coming. We tried to make it a social function of the first magnitude, and from the good time everybody seemed to have had, we have reason to think that the affair was a great success. E. CORRICAN. 191 OS Q o z 192 OBITER alP ' lili MCMXXIV THE JUNIOR DRAMA On Friday evening:. May 11. 1923, the annual Junidr Drama of our class was presented to an appreciative audience, under the direction of Miss Mar- garet Sherman. The play chosen was the comedy of A. E. Thomas, entitled Her Hus- band ' s Wife, in three acts. The successive try-outs resulted in the selection of the following characters: Irene Randolph — The wife Dorothy John Stuart Randolph — Her husband Marion Adams Richard Belden — Irene ' s brother ... - Harold Lewellyn John Belden — Irene ' s uncle Joseph Siesko Emily Ladew — Irene ' s schoolmate ... - Dorothy Stevens Nora — Irene ' s maid Viola Kline The production was a clever analysis of society life, and thou ih very tragic in many portions, ended beautifully as all comedies do. Perhaps the most effective scenes were the tea and divorce scenes, for here the actors displayed their most excellent qualities, and depicted realistic emotions. From the time the curtain rose until it fell there was not an essential left to be desired on the part of the audience, and the drawing room of the Ran- dolph ' s during the racing season at the Spa. in the fashionable resort of Sara- toga, was the background for a whimsical farce, whose aim as entertainment was fulfilled. ho can forget the quaint and charming character of Irene, the non- chalant manner of Uncle John, the dowdy, then transformed Emily dear, the vivacious Dick, the anxious Stuart and the faithful servant. Nora? Gentle readers — a good play! 193 Q O z 5 2 J 94 OBITER MCMXXIV RED RIDING HOOD Red Ridiiia Hood was an original reproduction given liy the Junior High School Art Club under tlie direction of Prof. G. J. Keller. The Junior High School, composed of children from the seventh to the ninth grade «as presented with a large room which would serve as their art room. The room heretofore served as the meeting place for a literary society and con- sequently lacked the necessary equipment essential to the pupils who will spend from two to four hours weekly studying art. At a meeting of the J. H. S. Art Club it was definitely decided by the pupils that a pla woidd be the best medium with wliich to appeal to the parents and friends of the school and incidentally arouse their interests in the type of w ork which was be- ing conducted in their art classes. At the next meeting of the Art Club the play, ' ' Red Riding Hood, was selected as one which would afford the best opportunity for them to display their originality. Instead of making an exact reproduction of the familiar Red Riding Hood story, the children rewrote it, allowing only the general outline of the story to re- main. Suggestions for changes were oflered. voted uiion. and accejited until they had in place ot the ' slap stick conventional Red Riding Hood, a drama which was not only a masterpiece in child literature but one which offered itself to artistic set- tings, costumes and arrangements. The seventh grade selected the making of tickets and posters as their contribu- liiiM to the project. The tickets were designed by a J. H. S. member, Paul Eyerly, The school and town were canvassed and the plav advertised bv the pupils for each 195 OBITER MCMXXIV production. Posters were replaced by new ones so as to create interest. The tickets were in charge of a Senior teacher. Miss Frances Carr. Over 3,500 tickets were sold for the three performances. The eighth grade decided that their contribution would be appropriate designs for costumes. The costumes were under the supervision of another Senior teacher, Miss Josephine Mauer. The costumes were designed and worked out in their class periods. The ninth grade took care of the scenery making under the direction of Lenore Hart. Alice King, Martha Stapinski, and Max Long. No attempt was made to bring realism into the play because of the scenes being in fairy land. Conventionalized flowers, trees, and birds were made. The house and other parts of scenery were also worked out in this class. The Seniors who were on the property committee plaved a big part in making the play a success. These people were Marian Andrews, Martha Stapinski, Andrew Tirpack, Dick Morlock, and Jerry Fitzpatrick. The lighting effects of the play were taken care of by Hiester Hower. The plav met witli such success tiiat many requests were made to repeat it in neighboring towns. Numerous letters of congratulation and appreciation were re- ceived. It is difficult to express the feelings and gratitude to these students for their excellent work, and to really pass one ' s approval and appreciation to Prof, Keller, under whose direction, uniting efforts and artistic ability, made it a masterful success.

Through the two short years we ' ve been here, e have grown in many a wav. And a still and solemn sadness Dawns with the parting day. Teachers many have been with us, They have done their best To give us tools which shall be useful When we face the world ' s broad test. We are thankful for this guidance. And ill our feeble way. Our most heartfelt appreciation Through these words we ' re trying to say. Classmates — now we ' re leaving, We must say Farewell, Class of ' 24 is parting When we ' ll meet no one can tell. As our hands are clasped in parting. As we at the crossroads stand, Mav we link ourselves together As a ne ' er forgetting band.

MCMXXIV COACH GEORGE M. MEAD To anyone who during the past three years has had an interest in our school and to a host of others an introduction to the smiling individual whose likeness you have just gazed upon on the preceding page of our book needs no introduction, but perchance that you are a stranger to the traditions, ideals and heroes of our in- stitution, let us have the honor of presenting our phvsical director and athletic coach — George M. lead. If you would care to know something more about him do not expect to find a great deal of information here in type, for his life is an open book and what he was, is. and alwavs will be. vou can see bv studving the likeness of him on the page vou have just turned. Coach Mead came to Bloomsburg three vears ago to find the onlv atidetic prowess the school possessed was that in dreams of the past. He broke in upon the dreamers, shattered the dreams and started athletics going in reality and they have been going steadilv forward and upward ever since. And now at the end of those three short vears old Normal has regained her place in the sporting world and is once more among the leading normal and preparatory schools of the Keystone State. Coach Mead is not only an athletic mentor but a first-class physical director and student of human nature as well. He calls, home sweet home, Reading, Michigan, and he alreadv holds three sheepskins that have been awarded him by Western schools of learning. He is a graduate of Reading I Michigan I High, Michigan State Normal, and the Universitv of Michigan. Following his graduation from the latter institu- tion he instructed in the Junior High School at Grand Rapids, Michigan. Then Uncle Sam issued a call to the colors and he threw aside his personal interests to take a hand in quelling the Boche. He was a member of the first offi- cers ' training camp at Camp Sheridan, Chicago, and was then sent to Camp Custer, Battle Creek. Michigan, with the commission of a first lieutenant. As a member of the 33oth Infantry, o.5th division, he was sent across the briny deep, and eleven and one-half months, of the twenty-three and one-half months he wore the uniform, he cavorted over there. LaCross (Wisconsin,! High School laid claim to his services at the close of the war, and after serving two years at that place, during which time he turned out two state champion high school football elevens, a champion basketball five and another quintette that took second honors, together with two first degree track teams, he packed his bag. came East and landed — here. In all. tlie school, its alumni and student liodv. is proud of Coach Mead, and we think he is proud of our school. Our class of 21 in departing to take up our work in the world will take with us memories of this man and for what he has done for us and what he has done and is doing for the school whicli is now our alma mater, we thank him and wish him well.

OBITER iiigjli MCMXXIV FOOTBALL The right tn claim jointly with est Chester Normal School the foot- hall championship of the Normal Schools of Pennsylvania for 1923 was the honor gained hy the Bloomshurg Slate Normal School gridiron warriors last season. The eleven was one of the best in the history of Maroon and Gold and won hack for the school the position it occupied in preparatory school football ranks previous to the World ar. The one dark cloud in an other- wise clear football sky was the loss ol the major battle to yoming Semi- nary hy the score of 14 to 3. Our men. however, fought a hard, clean game and gained for our school all the glory that goes with honorable defeat. The j support given the team by the student body was the best ever tendered an athletic team on the hill and aided greatly in making the season the success , it was. Head Coach Mead and Assistant Coach Baker worked faithfully all fall to develop the eleven and to them goes much of the credit for the fame and honor the team gained. Every man on the squad gave his best and it was the man on the reserve team as much as the man on the varsity that de- serves credit for the winning eleven. Faculty Manager Hall and Student Manager Shaughnessy worked hard and filled their positions in a manner above reproach. Five of the eight games played by the team were won. Each man did what he was called upon to do. and did it well. Captain Brotherston. however, stands out prominently for the great, consistent game he played. Not only did the Normal leader play his position at guard in a manner that threw terror into the ranks of the enemy but he won both the Shippensburg and Stroudsburg games by drop kicks and also made the only score in the Wyoming game when he kicked a field goal in the last 40 seconds of play. The team was handicapped greatly throughout the major part of the season due to injuries to Joseph Schwall, star fullback and to Joseph Kaslusky, the flashy halfback and signal caller. Schwajl s services were, lost to the team when late in the Dickinson game he had his right shoul- der dislocated and the shoulder bone fractured. Kaslusky soon afterward developed a severe case of Charlie horse and was unable to take part in the last three contests of the season. At a banquet held by the football team at the close of the season. Gerald Fitzpatrick. of Trevor- Ion, and brdliant end of the past season, was chosen captain for 1924. The season opened on September 29 against Harrisburg Tecli. at Harrisburg, and we were defeated 20 to 0, largely because the Harrisburg team was in much better condition due to the fact that they had had three weeks ' additional practice to that given the Normal squad and also due to the fact that they had more experienced players. The following Saturday Normal easily defeated the Northumberland Athletics 39 to in the first game played on our field. On October 13 our team played Dickinson Seminary, at Williamsport, and lost a hard contest 14 to 9. largely because of the fact that our men were in poor physical condition. The score at the end of the third quarter was 9 to in Bloom ' s favor. Our first victory over a Normal School was turned in on October 27 when Mansfield Normal was sent home from Bloomshurg defeated by the score of 26 to 14. The Bucknell Lniversity Reserves were met the first Saturday in November and were defeated by a score of 17 to 0. in one of the hardest battles of the entire season Normal defeated Stroudsburg Normal on the latter ' s field. November 10. by the score of 3 to 0, Captain Brothertson making the winning score by a field goal from the 40-yard line in the third quarter. Although we were able to beat Shippensburg Normal at Bloomshurg the following .Saturday by the score of hut 3 to 0. our team was far superior to that of the Cumberland alley .School. -Shippensburg had an extremely weak offensive and never once during the game did ihey have the ball in their possession in our territory. Captain Brotherston made the points that gave his team the decision by booting a field goal from the 37-yard line eight minutes before hostilities ceased. The Wyoming game was in every sense a hummer. with both teams fighting each other to a standstill for the first 52 minutes of the 60 minutes of allotted playing time. Wyoming scored both her touchdowns following the blocking of punts, with the two scores coming within a time period of five minutes. Normal averted a shut-out when Brotherston kicked a field goal from the 30-yard line in the last minute of play. Following is the record made by the team during the season of 1923: Saturday.

All of the leadiiif; teams in our section of the state were met and defeated with regularity. The team was one of the smoothest and hest defensive and offensive combinations ever handed together under the Maroon and Gold banner with both team play and in- dividual brilliancy featuring the combats on the hardwood throughout the winter. Wyoming Seminary, our arch rivals, wer e vanquished on their own battle ground for the first time in a decade and were also beaten in a most impressive and decisive fashion at Bloomsliurg. . ' hippensliurg and Strouds- burg. the only two normal school teams who ran f )ul of Bloomsburg. were conquered with comparative ease both at home and abroad. Probably our most noted victory of the season was that over Bellefonte Academy, whose five was easily one of the best in the history of that school and who had early in the season marred our record with a defeat when the two teams met in the academy boys ' gymnasium. Besides having a varsity that we were justly proud of the school was also represented by a Junior Varsity that was a credit to the hill top institution. This team played and defeated the majority of the leading high school teams in this district and also took into camp the Wyoming Seminary Reserves in the two contests they played with them. Captain Louis Lerda and Turner, of the Varsity, were two of the best forwards that ever wore a rubber-soled shoe on the Normal court. Schwall at center was a tower of strength throughout the season and aided his team- mates greatly by out-jumping the rival pivot men in all of the contests. Sack and Kazlosky saw service in the deiensive positions and they proved constant stumbling blocks in the paths of am- bitious opponents who sought to make scoring records. Morlock, Jenkins and Cooper were most efficient in the roles of first string substitutes and never once failed when they were called upon to deliver. Brotherston also did fine relief work until near the middle of the season when he was forced to retire from the game on account of a weak ankle which he received in a football game. All of the Reserves did fine work and deserve much credit, not only for the fine record they made in playing out their schedule, but for turning out night after night and scrimmaging with the Varsity so that that team would be at its hest when it met outside opponents. George M, Mead, phvsical director and coach of athletics of the school, had charge of the team and never before did he turn out a basketball quintette that brought him more credit. Coach Mead, however, was able to do this only by working unceasingly with his men throughout the season. The teams were managed by George N, Hall, of the faculty, and James Lawson. of the student body, with both working hard and doing exceptionally well in the fulfillment of their many duties.

Of the fourteen full contests engaged in ten of . . i them were won, one was tied and tliree resulted in defeats. The team which, coached by George Mead, physical director of the school. and managed by Prof. Hall and Elwood Eisenhower, was well balanced and was strong in every department. It was one of the best fielding teams the institution ever had and was exceptionally powerful on the offensive with an average during the season of 7 runs per contest. Captain Malcolm Derk. Brotherston, Litwhiler and Zello combined to form one of the best string of pitchers that ever toed the rubber on a preparatory school team. Besides being pitchers of merit Derk and Brotherston were also valuable men in the infield. Haupt. an infielder the previous season, wore the mask during the 23 season and did most creditable work in that position. Captain Derk and Hower divided the work at first base between them, Markley guarded the keystone bag, and Boyle, captain-elect of the 1924 nine, tended the hot corner. Brotherston and Long played most of the season in the short field. The outfield was composed of Swetland. in the left pasture, Felker in the center of the orch- ard, and Foster in the right meadow. Each member of the trio was adapt at chasing fly balls and each was strong at hitting. Sincavage did fine work at shortstop during the latter part of the season. The big victory of the season was that over Wyoming Seminary at Bloomsburg on . pril 25, with Bloomsburg taking the game by the count of 3 to 2. The return game with tlie Seminary team at Kingston was prohibited by rain but Normal is confident that they could have taken the contest. Other victories which brought credit to the nine were the double decisions gained over Stroudsburg Normal and Bellefonte. and the single victories won from the Wilkes-Barre Teach- ers, University of Susquehanna Reserves, and Shippensburg Normal. The team went through the season without a defeat on the home diamond and won three of the six games played on foreign fields. Each of the games lost were taken by the opponents by a one point margin. Dickinson winning 2 to 1, Susquehanna taking their game i to 3. and Ship- pensburg nosing out Normal 8 to 7.

Played even in the middle of winter, tennis was the all-year game, the one sport not limited by a ' season. The number of students of our class who could play tennis, September 18, 1922, was small but the number who could not play on June 2. 1924, was still smaller, for everyone was anxious to learn and tennis had more fans than football, basket- ball, or baseball. It was every man ' s game and if we stop to note the beneficial results obtained directly through participating in this sport, we can understand why. For instance, it was through constant tennis playing that H. R. H. Miss Dora Wilson got the muscle which enabled her to ring the Lights Out bell in such a very prompt and capalde style. It was constant practice in this sport that moved Bussy ' s soul to its very depths and brought from it that well known song, I ' m Coin ' A-Courtin ' . (Tennis players will easily recognize the pun on court), and it was here that Miss Peterson, whose following of boy friends one has oft observed, learned to hold court, and there are other cases which I could mention but that I deem it more important to write here the hope of the class of 21 that the two other large spaces (once lined off and still called courts, although overgrown with dandelions and derid of all tapes I be again fixed uj) in order that more students may i)lay at Margaret J. Jones. 213 r ' Football— Juniors vs. Seniors The proverb. It is more profitable to be lucky than good. was the mutterings of a man who in wisdom ranked on a par witli Solomon, and all those who were privileged to witness the Senior- Junior Class gridiron tilt last fall are thoroughly convinced that every word of the proverb fairly rings with the truth. The Juniors were lucky — they won. The Seniors were good — they lost. The score was 12 to 7. It was a great match and easily the greatest ever played between class teams of the hill-top institution. True, at times it lacked science, but what it lacked in that department it more than made up in humor. Some of the incidents connected with the fray were such finished pieces of comedy that had Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton been among those present they would have turned green with envy or perhaps it would have been red with laughter. Long before the starting time every point of advantage was taken with both classes attend- ing the game in a body. The Seniors far outshone their rivals in respect to cheering with the upper classmen under the expert leadership of C. Daniel Blose. and Elias P. I Peppermint 1 Mor- gan supporting their elevens as no other class eleven was ever supported by its fellow classmen in the history of Old ormal. Early in the first quarter the Juniors had their first piece of luck and by virtue of it they scored the initial touchdown of the game. The Seniors had the ball on their 30-yard line and then, on account of the severe wind which was sweeping the field, were unable to hear their sig- nals and a fumble resulted. Turner. Junior left end. ambled along, seized the unclaimed pig- skin and hurled himself over the goal line for the first score of the game. The Juniors attempt to make the extra point was easily blocked by 24. From that time on to the remainder of the half the Seniors had things their own way and were on the verge of a score when the second ten- minute quarter faded out. Neither team was able to score in the third quarter, but the Seniors again outplayed their rivals and only old Dame Fortune kept them from counting several times. With the opening of the last period Sir Luck again came to the aid of the Juniors. Cooper had the ball poised above his head when a burst of wind came along and swept it out of his clutches far down the field into the waiting arms of Left End . rchibald and that gentleman had to run but a few yards to score the second touchdown of the afternoon and give his team a 12 to advantage. . nd then the plucky Seniors came back fighting with a spirit that could not be denied. Through a line that outweighed them 20 pounds to a man they sent their backs for large and consistent gains and soon hurled Kane, their brilliant fullback, over the goal line for a touch- down and added the extra point later when the Juniors were off side on the play. Soon after the kick-off the Seniors again gained possession of the oval and with their oppo- nents looking much like eleven dilapidated cigar store Indians, they started another drive toward the Junior goal, and had it not been for the ending of the contest while this drive was in full swing, the mighty team of 24 would have snatched the brand from the burning and annexed another victory to her fair record. But, however, in such a defeat there is glory, for no team of the past, present and future has or will defeat the gods of fate. The lineup: B.S.N.S., ' 24 Positions B. S. N. S., 2.5 B. S. N.

S. N. S. There were three games played between the Junior and Seniors girls for the championship of the school and in each game both teams put up a hard fight. The Seniors each time were the victors. Credit is due to Miss Mary Munro and Miss Edna Munro for the splendid show- ing of both squads. The wonderful spirit demonstrated during the basketball season warrants the continued faith in girls athletics, not only for this year but for successive years to come. The Senior squad was composed of the following: Isabelle Ferguson. Captain; Marion Ullrich. Margaret Ferry. Catherine Partridge, Forwards: Eva Zadra. Edith Evans. Centers; Charlotte Ferguson. L?na Enama, Side Centers: Mary Phillips. Ida Johnson, Esther Jones. Charlotte Zearfoos, Stella Malley. Guards. The Junior squad had as members: Mary Lannon, Captain: Laura ood- worth, Ruth Stevens.

The Wilkes-Barre team faced the keenest of competition in each contest and won entirely on account of their superior team play. The games were the most successful that have ever been fostered by the school. Eight teams were entered this year and each performed in a most creditable manner. On account of the num- ber of teams in the tourney all of the contests were run strictly on an elimination basis. Wilkes-Barre High by reason of its victory was presented with a large silver loving cup. while six members of the team. Captain Miller. Alper. Palermo. Obitz, Peters and AvTes were given silver medals. Captain Halitski, Garrity, Schwall, VanBuskirk, O ' Branski and Mower, members of the Hanover Township High School five which finished in the runner-up position, were given bronze medals. A committee of three disinterested judges selected Alper. of Wilkes-Barre. as the best for- ward in the games: Obitz. of the same city, as the premier pivot man. and Stoker, of Newrport Township, as the stellar guard. Each of those men were presented with gold medals. All of the medals as well as the cup were presented by Dr. G. C. L. Riemer, principal of our school. On the all-tournament first team besides the three men who were presented with gold medals, Nork. forward: Shenandoah and Miller, guard. Wilkes-Barre, were selected. The following second all-tournament team was chosen: Forwards — Palermo. Wilkes-Barre, and Halitski. Hanover Township; center — Schwall. Hanover Township, and guards — VanBuskirk, Hanover Township, and Peters, Wilkes-Barre. The games started on Friday afternoon with Shenandoah forcing Kingston from the race only after they had been forced to play an extra five minute period. 30 to 24. In the second game of the afternoon Wilkes-Barre defeated Trevorton in a fast going affair. 3.5 to 22. the defeated team making a very eame fight against undeniable odds. At the start of the evening ' s battles. Newport High School, winners of the first two tourna- ments given by the Bloomsburg Normal School, had things much their own way against Berwick High School, gaining the decision 24 to 6. Hanover Township managed to nose out Bloomsburg in the nightcap, 19 to 16. in a battle that brought forth brilliant play by members of both com- binations. Trum, Bloomsburg center, scored a basket in his opponent ' s goal early in the fray. Wilkes-Barre won its way into the final round Saturday afternoon by eliminating Newport, the previous year ' s champs, 32 to 17. In the other semi-final match Hanover Township upset the dope by winning in apparent easy fashion over Shenandoah, 26 to 19. The final clash of the games brought Wilkes-Barre and Hanover together Saturday evening with the city five triumphing, 24 to 12. The first half of the game was close, ending 11 to 9 in favor of Wilkes-Barre, Hanover sprinted at the beginning of the second half and got the lead, 12 to 11, but they apparently shot their final volt of strength in that rally, for they failed to score afterward while Wilkes-Barre added consistently to their tally until the final whistle claimed them conquerors of the day. Great crowds witnessed each of the games with more than 1.000 spectators present at both the afternoon and evening games on Saturday while the Friday squabbles were viewed by al- most as many. Each school had its rooters and the cheering and songs of the rival institutions was one of the most colorful features of the event. During the games the teams were the guests of the school, each team being taken care of by some member of the student body who was in most cases an alumnus of the school to whom he played host. The teams were given lodging in Bloomsburg hotels and were boarded at the school. A host of visitors visited the school during the two days ' play and were shown through the buildings and over the campus. In truth, it was the crowning tournament of all those held by the institution thus far and speaks higldy of the ability of physical director George M. Mead, originator of the event, and Gilbert Cooper, student manager, who were in charge of everything in connection with the games.

To compile the remarks would take too much time So about one and the other I ' ll jot down a line. Our principal ' s first, on that you can bet. Not one of his acts have we cause to regret. Dr. Riemer s a man in each sense of the word. Not an ill thing about him has anyone heard. A mothers worries? Yes — everyone. Mothering three hundred isn t alwavs fun. But Miss Kingman does it and does it well. ords could never our appreciation tell. Mr. Sutliflf ' s the Dean of Instruction, you know: He helps the seeds of knowledge to sow. He arranges our program, hours galore. Twenty at least, but usually more. Are our boys lucky? FIl say they are; A better coach is not near or far. As Dean of Men. Mr. Mead is fine. He ' s proved his sportsmanship time after time. Mr. Rhodes is a man who always must work. Director of the Training Scliocl never can shirk. Tiie Juniors sav his sense of humor is fine. He laughs at all jokes — his own. yours and mine. If a dignified school teacher vou want to he. And care not to choose Groups One or Three. Consult Miss Greathead who direc ' s Grouj) Two, A more capable person no one e ' er knew. The whole Junior High School I ' m sure will asree. That a man verv worthv is guiding Grouj) Three. Mr. Irwin can tell vou how problems work out. All things being equal is the solution, no doubt. None knew her but to love her. None knew her but to praise. Miss Troxell has won this saying Through her kind and gentle ways. Mr. Robbins ' interest in another field lies. He works without ceasing and thus alwavs tries To lay the firmest kind of foundation On which to build a lasting Rural Education. 225 OBITER ailMili MCMXXIV Owed to the Faculty — Continued Mr. Somers comes along with a Ph.D. An I.

If a good grade from them you care to receive You must Study nature, not books, I believe. It ' s regularly every Wednesday night, Mr. Brill tries to guide our boys right. Through the Y. M. C. A. he does his best To arouse in the boys some religiousness. He ' s a happy, laughing, jovial man, Always around to do what he can. As class advisor our praises are loud. Mr. Albert helped win success for the 2-1 crowd. She has a smile for all she meets. With a pleasant Good morning. all the students she greets, If you ' re ever ill, for Mrs. Holmes send. She ' s school nurse as well as teacher and friend. Whether it ' s classwork. Y. W. or outside fun, No matter what there is to be done. We go to Mr. Shortess. the student ' s friend, He ' s proved this over and over again. If vou want to get a dizzy head. Join a girls class of Physical Ed. The two Munro ' s sure have the pep. To keep up to them one has to step. ' When poor little Juniors should be in bed. They ' re working on themes and essays instead. Miss Hundlev assigns them eight hundred words per week. The aim of this project we ' re trying to seek. Miss Patterson is the students friend. The reason voure sent here she ll always defend. Shirking her classes is always in vain, It simply means taking them over again. If a course in English you want to take, A suggestion to you Id like to make, Mr. Wilson ' s course cannot be beat.

Wherever we wish an artistical whim. We go to Miss Swift, whose taste is the best: She ' s proved this often — she ' s had the test. The Junior High School gave the Red Riding Hood Play, The best we ' ve had in manv a day. Mr. Keller coached it and I ' m sure we agree That he is artistic to the highest degree.

The shades of nite were falling fast: He stepped on it rushing past, A crash! — he died without a sound: They opened up his head and found, Excelsior.

After all special dances, automobile home, if said place is outside, limits of one hundred miles. Never ask if vou mav have a certain gentleman to a dance. Always suit your- self as you are the one who is to entertain him during the evening. When returning from dances, the front entrance should not be us?d. Fire es- capes are advisable. The Coach insists that all students smoke while on the Campus as the odor and practice affords many benefits. The skipping of classes is suggested, as teachers claim it is much easier to teach a smaller class. Whenever hungry, use the kitchen to good advantage. The desire of automobile riding always comes to us in the spring. This wish may be fulfilled by using the State Highway as an instrument. Permission to go home will be granted at anv time. Excuses for such are un- necessary. 228 OBITER UMliii MCMXXIV What Would Happen If—? Student Council failed to liave secrets. The girls didn ' t hear Quiet, please, after ten o ' clock.
