After her graduation, she held res])onsible positions in the puhHc libraries of Leominster, and Athol. Massachusetts, and entered very acti ely into the life (if both comnuniities. It was in September, 1922, that she came to Bloomsburg. Her willing assistance and ever ready enthusiasm to gi e her time and atlvise to worthy students of the school immediately made her known as a friend to all. She is faculty advisor to the Young ' omen ' s Christian .Associa- tion and the Mu I ' hi Sigma Sororitx ' . and is .Manager of the B. S. N. S.

And he sought the one he loved best. 1 lis master ' s flock he watched o ' er. And he gave all he could for their care. He taught them to follow life ' s pathway, Keeping clear of its evils and snares. He knew he had fulfilled his duty For his conscience was free from all stain. He went to his gra e onl - hoping. His teaching had not been in ain. O God ! hat a friend you have taken ! No other more kind have we met. We pray that ou only shall help us. To carrv on the task he has set. Aithiiy C. Jenkins.

His kindly yet digni- fied bearing marked him as a courteous gentleman. A short association with Mr. Brill soon impressed one of his thorough scholarship, high ideals and that a keen growing mind backed by the experience of a life devoted to scholarly pursuits ga e weight to his judgment and procedure. Professor Brill began and ended his professional life as a teacher, . fter teaching four years in the schools of Shamokin, he entered Dickinson Seminary, prepared for college and was later graduated from W ' esleyan College with the class of 1886. He was a member of Phi Betta Kappa and Psi L ' psilon Fraternities. He at once began his chosen career as a pastor in the Methodist Church. He ser -ed in this capacity until 1909. having charge of the work in Port Matilda, Pine Grove Mills. Birmingham. East Tyrone, . ltoona. Xewberry, Shickshinny, Sunbury. and Dan ille. In 1909 he re-entered the work of teaching in the public schools bv accepting the position of teacher of classical languages in Bloomsburg High . school. In 1911 he became head of the department of history and civics at the Bloomsburg State Normal School and continued to serve in that capacity until within a week of his death which occurred on June 8. 1925. Professor Brill had planned to retire as he reached the age of seventy years on February 23, 1925. He confided to his friends the anticipated pleasure of a few years of life at State College where he had planned to live with Mrs. Brill and his daughter Julia, the latter being a member of the facultv of . - tate College. His sudden death frustrated these cherished hopes and brought to an end the career of an esteemed teacher, a valued friend to the students of this school, and ended the active senices of an untiring worker in the ranks of his chosen church. His influence will long continue to be a precious memor ' to the himdreds of students who came under his care. In his passing we have lost, not onlv an efficient teacher, but the guidance of a wise counselor and friend.

They were three hun lrecl and se enty-tive strong. With dcterniination and courage in their hearts thev tirnily resoKfd that the name of the class of ' 27 would I ' iuL; down thrcjnt li the ages. Accordingly, they held a class meeting for the | urpose of organ- ization. Their excellent selection of officers gained the first milestone of llu ' ir progress. Thr poor Inniors met their first test of real courage in the inflic- tion of junior customs. Naturally their pride and dignity were hurt. .Shoidd they go around decked in green and other signs of stupidity? However, such signs of cotupulsory false pretense could not hide our lirilliancv. These customs were overthrown in a fcjotball game for the lio s — Inniors victors — and in a party for the girls. They met their first defeat in the annual Junior-Senior Basketball game but the - know that success is always accompanied by a few failures. Several of the Junior Class held important positions on the arsity teams and thus helped B. S. N. S. gain many of her victories. Tlieir lirst social acti ity was a Kiel ' s party. Their dramatic ability, displayed in the play, Come r)ut of the Kitchen. made everyone sit up and take notice. At last they won recognition. In chapel exercises they i)ro ed themsehes to be capable and efficient leaders. Their name is on every tongue. Although they are sorry to bid their Senior classmen farewell, they are eager to take their rightful places. In their Senior year they expect to continue with their aim of winning distinction for their class and fame for our Alma Mater, which has given them ideals and standards for life. u .

All these young men and women were going to the same place — Bloomsburg. We had all known that some dav in that most eventful we would journey to Blooms- ))urg. But 1 wonder if we will ever forget that day. Some of us laugjied, some of us cried, and others — well, too scared to do anything. NN ' hen we landed in Bloomsburg every one was in a hurry, but most of us (lid not know what the hurry was about. We soon learned why we should hurry — Registration — our most informal introduction to Normal. After about two weeks of being alternately lost, strayed, or stolen and found again, we liecame accustomed to the whys and wherefores of the institution. We soon organized our class and began the business of being ])rospective teachers. We very soon learned that teaching was not going to be all play: but when we were overwhelmed with work we consoled ourselves with the thought that we were the best Jimior Class that had e t ' r Jjeeii at Bloomslnirg. After about ;i iiKinth of sojourn at B. S. N. S. we were all well acquainted and then we planned some social functions. Our first was the Y. W. C. A. Reception, then our Hallowe ' en jjarty where our fellow classmates blossomed out in ari-colored costumes. At our Junior Prom, which everyone enjoyed, we showed the Seniors how well we could entertain. One night we forgot the fact that we were grown up and staged a very successful Kids Party. In order to show the other classes who and what we are we staged three one-act plays which were ery well received. These plays were purely class productions and they did credit to all the Jiuiiors. All is well that ends well. and after passing a vear as Juniors we were well fitted to take on our shoulders the burden of the respon- sibilities of the Seniors at B. S. X. S.

ADAMSON Mahanoy High School Mahanoy City. Pa. Anne Thf future Miss Swift you see be- fore you. Anne is. .so to speak, some artist. She appears to be a very quiet girl, but appearances arc deceiving, just ask the students! Anne is as true a friend as you will ever find, and is always willing to do a good turn. She is fond of fun. sport and study, and is one of the Chief Merry-makers ' of fourth floor. We all know that . nne has all the best qualities for teaching but we would not feel safe in prophesying that she will teach for a very long time, for such an attractive little Miss would never care to class herself among the self-supporting women. Luck to you. Anne. RUTH ALLEN Jermyn and Carbondale High School Jermyn. Pa. Ruth A very quiet girl with a sweet dis- position and a smiling countenance is our Ruth. One of our most industri- ous and hard working girls, always very exact and thorough in her work. Is she conscientious — well, she never goes to class unprepared and her name is near the top of the honor roll. She is a good sport, always ready for a good time. We wonder why she likes her work so well as a mem- ber of the H. S. U. We must not fail to mention Ruth ' s willingness to accommodate. Xot once has anyone asked her to do something without its being cheerfully and well done. If you want to tease Ruth, just ask her about the write-up in the paper. The kiddies love Ruth and we know- she will be a successful teacher. Of course we don ' t know how long she will be in the profession, although she says she is going to teach and when she says a thing she generally means it. However, our wishes for success are vours in whatever vou undertake. Y Thirty Four J- 1 s 1 ■ REGINALD V. ANSKIS Newport Township High School Glen Lyon, Pa. Mutt The town of Glen Lyon calls this worthy lad its own, for it was there that he first saw the light of day. In the fall of 1924 Mutt transferred his credits from Penn State College to the University of Bloomsburg. He was not a bit shy of the ladies and finally acknowledged that he was successful in fulfilling his duty by giv- ing them attention. All men like chicken in some manner but Mutt liked little Chick so much better than any other variety. Mutt is a lover of books, but that is not all that he loved. Yes! A woman was concerned. His ability as a student was greatly shown when he selected Nature Study for his practice teaching. He was one of the best student teachers that the school had. Probably it was the in- spiration. We do not know what his plans are l)ut we know he will suc- ceed in whatever he professes to be. Good luck to vou. Mutt. : I y ANTONIA ASHTON Plymouth High School Plymouth, Pa. Tony Tony is another one of these all around good sports; full of pep and al- ways ready for a good time. Since this picture was taken Tony has given us a shock by bobbing her beautiful long tresses: but we cannot blame her much, as bobbed hair is nmch more becoming to some peo- ple???? When it came to a certain class. Tony shined — especially in Nature Study — we wonder why she took such an interest in it? What has happened to the letters from Mercersburg that used to swamp the mails last year? Does I ' lynioutli hold more of an attraction? Or, if our suspicions are correct, we judge the attraction to have shifted to B. S. N. S. Well, here ' s wishing world ' s of good luck to a good little sport, whether it be teaching or ??? QZ E lliirty Five IR ui m GERALDINE AUL Scott Township High School Espy, Pa. Gerry Gerry is one of the best sports in our class. No matter what the difFi- ciihy may be. she is always willinK to help. However, her excess amount of vitality is not all directed toward hav- injf a good time. For from all indica- tions she will surely meet with success as a teacher. Her specialty is talking. However, it is to good advantage for she is con- tinually cheering some one up or add- ing a new friend to her already large number. Gerry. although loyal to her Alma Mater, is very much interested in high- er institutions of learning. Whatever you do, Gerry, our class wishes you success. VVc feci confident of this, for with your attractive personality and ability to make friends you are surely going to be successful. LETHA M, BAER Shickshinny High School Shickshinny, Pa. Lee A wonderful girl, a true friend, a good sport, this is Lee. Her main interest is in the mail bo.x. for it brings some places nearer to B. S. X. S. We can ' t blame her for that. Wherever you meet her. Lee al- ways has a winning smile, is always ready for fun and ready to eat. She is a great lover of hikes, as has been shown by her frequent indulgence in them. She is a carefree, happy-go- lucky person who positively refuses to worry until the last minute. We all wonder why Lee is always singing Otto, My Boy. instead of Charley. My Boy. Is it a mistake, or what? Never mind though, time will tell. Lee s highest ambition is to be- come an efficient teacher, but we all have our doubts as to how long she will stay in this profession. We all wish you success and happi- ness. Thirty Six iffl -J a VERA L. BAER Shickshinny High School Shickshinny, Pa. Turnips Quiet, good-natured, a wonderful friend and yet a lively sport, that ' s ' era. Although she hasn ' t been with us but one year she has made that one year well worth two by knowing and associating with her. A feed or party I You betl She ' s right in on all of them and. above all. a willing helper for clean-ups. It ' s a trait found in so few girls that we just have to mention it. ' era is also an active member of the S. I. K. the good old club of Third Annex. She is a very industrious work- er. Many a time Turnips has burned the midnight oil. We all feel sure of ' era ' s success as a teacher for this rea.son. But — (there is always a but ) we also know Turnips will not be the proverbial Old Maid cause — well, we don ' t tell tales out of school. We wish the best for vou. Old Pal. It ETHEL D. BAKER Milton High School Milton. Pa. Ethel Ethel is one of the quiet, shy kind, and it took us a long time to get ac- quainted with her: but when we did get acquainted, we found her to be a true friend. Ethel is a faithful worker and always willing to do her part. She is patient, optimistic as a person and she is one of the self-possessed mem- bers of the Senior Class. Whenever anything that is disconcerting has to be done, give it to Ethel, for she will carry it through without a tremor. Ethel always liked school, and so we think she has taken up the right profession; however, how long she will be interested in this profession is a question as she is a good cook and housekeeper, and her greatest ambition is to marry a minister. We hope you shall be successful in your quest, Ethel. Luck and happiness are our wishes for vou. I ' liirtv Seven [ u DORETTA PAULINE BEAVER Nescopeck High School Nescopeck, Pa. Doretta Dorctta is a nu ' nil)rr of tlie Lockt-r Room Runch. aiul a vcrj- jolly one, too. In fact, it ' s a hard thing to say just what will afft-et Dorctta ' s sense of hu- mor; just ask some of the (lay pupils, if you don ' t helievc it. Seriously, how- ever, I have heard it remarked that Ooretta makes a sincere, true friend — the kind to lend a hand in time of trouhle. Although living in town. Doretta hails from Nescopeck. The fact that she is not living in the Dorm does not keep her from joining in school sports, and she comes out for hoth hockey and basketball, both of which she enjoys very much. Her fondness lie in other directions; music and art both appeal to Dor- ctta. .She is a member of the Glee Club, and we are sure her ability in singing will help her in her chosen work of Primary teaching. Just one more of your likes must be tiientioned, Doretta. before your his- tory is complete. Did you say his name was Morris? CLAIRE R. BECKLEY Nanticoke High School Nanticoke. Pa. Claire ho ' s going down lor mail? ' S ' your turn. Claire! Oh. I never get any let- ters (from Claire) and in another min- ute she returns with the mail — hers mostly. Judging from the variety of sources you might guess that she was taking her college course by corre- spondence — maybe so — at least the best colleges are represented. However, letter writing isn ' t the main feature in Claire ' s life down here. Have j ' Ou ever been anywhere at any time at any place where there ' s some- thing happening and not seen Claire? But her enthusiasm is not limited in the least, for she has an overwhelm- ing amount of pep saved up for teaching, and if pep and personality have anything to do with it, Claire will surely have a success ful career. Here is wishing you all the luck in the world, Claire. - I r Thirty Eight X u ' IRENE BESTEDER Trucksville High School TrucksvUle, Pa. Irene Irene came to our midst from Trucksville. She is very studious, con- scientious and appears to be very (|uiet. We soon chanjicd our minds about Irene being quiet after wc once knew her. She enjoys having fun as much as any of us. If you think she is so quiet just get her started and then you can see for yourself how much fun she possesses. Regardless of Irene ' s study habits, she has good times, but work must conic before pleasure. Her motto is, Work before pleasure. It would be better for more of us if we would adopt her policy. Irene is a true and sincere friend and when once her friendship is gained you have a friend that will last. Here ' s wishing Irene the very best luck and success in all her future un- dertakings. May happiness and suc- cess be vours. Jj • MARY K. BEVAN Hazleton High School Hazleton, Pa. Bevy Here is another little black-haired lassie that hails from Hazleton. When- ever you hear someone come singing up the hall, whv vou know that ' s Bevy. Bevy is a very conscientious stu- dent and we are sure she will make a good teacher — especially in Art and Art projects. Bevy can always be found in some jolly crowd, and when- ever they are in need of anything she goes out to her many friends and bor- rows — even though they did have to have the patience of a saint waiting for her to return. I suppose everyone wonders why Bevy went to the church on Iron Street. Yes. it does leave out rather early and — well. Bevy doesn ' t lack boy friends. As a teacher wc arc sure you will make a success, and the class of ' 26 extends to you its best wishes. IJJ Thirty Nine nm W] ( r- C BERTHA BISSET Bloomsburg High School Bloomsburg, Pa. Bertha Rcrtha is aiiothLT oiu- oi our ever faithful c-onimutcrs. At first one might think I ' ertlia very quiet, l)ut we who l now her find our first impression en- tirely wrong. To know her is to love her. Bertha is a conscientious student, liut work never interferes with her having a good time. Just mention the movies, and she is ready to go with you at once. Did you say Bertha likes sports? She certainly does — especially, hiking, skat- ing, and coasting. There ' s a reason. We wonder why? We are sure Bertha will he a suc- cess as a teacher, for the children all love her. We sometimes wonder though if she will teach very long. Here ' s wishing you success in what- ever vou do. LAURA BLAINE Berwick High School Berwick, Pa. Blainie Laura is another one of our day stu- dents who comes to us from Berwick, and unfortunately since the trolley schedule seems to be so irregular, she sometimes misses the seven o ' clock car and as a result she is with us frequent- ly, and we are without her occasionally. Laura tells us that life is too short to spend all of your time working. however; she sometimes forgets her- self and studies her lessons. She has a pleasing personality and is always ready to help in any way. Dur- ing her two years here, she has made a large circle of friends and we all wish her much success in her teaching career. Forty R y£. jij Ul m M ' - lU MARVIN BLOSS Hobby, Penna. Nescopeck, Pa. Blossy From the metropolis of Hobby came an innocent. aml)itious lad to follow the teaching profession. Through his stories and ability to recite poems, he was soon well known by both faculty and student body. The bookroom receives many visits from Blossy because he must buy stationery. He is a very good letter writer, judging from the number of letters he writes and receives. Most of these letters are cither from or di- rected to a certain young lady in Hob- by. Occasionally she visits N ' ormal. We arc very doubtful as to whether Blossy will follow the teaching pro- fession, because he is always on hand when it comes to making various stage settings. No matter what kind of work he may follow, we are sure he will make a success of it. Blossy. we hope you have heaps cf luck and wish that through your personality and ambition you will al- ways be the friend and student vou were at B. S. X. S. EVELYN BOMBOY Blccmsburg High School Blocmsburg, Pa. Evie Evelyn did not have to come very far to join our ranks for she was al- ready stationed here at Bloomsburg. Some one asks Can she sing? ' Well. I should say she can. She is not only one of the most willing inembers of the fatnous Double Quartet but she is doing her bit towards the further- ing of music in the public schools. Looks are deceiving. for Evelyn appears to be a very sedate and studi- ous girl. As for the latter all is well. but Evelyn is just the girl to brighten one ' s lowered spirits. Xo one gets more out of life than she. because she always looks on the bright side of things and goes on just as happy as before. From all appearances, we are sure that Evelyn is going to be a grand success in her chosen work. Best of luck to you. Evelvn. Forty One kzr m j MARY BOMBOY Bloomsburg High School Bloomsburg, Pa. Mary Mary and music an- closely asso- ciated in our minds. Her charming voice has entertained and delighted us many times and the Douhle Quartet just couldn ' t get along without her. This little girl has many friends for her disposition is as sunny as a June day. Mary is a very conscientious student as well as an intelligent one. What she can do she does willingly and readily. She is interested in every- one but in some one in particular. We expect to hear of Mary becoming a prima donna after leaving dear old Normal, and we have a distinct no- tion that our expectations will be real- ized, (iood luck. Mary, and may your life be as sunny as your smile. ' y MAE BONHAM Berwick High School Berwick, Pa. Mae Mae is one of the little members of our class, but in spite of her shortness in stature one always knows when she is present b - her sunny disposition. One can never feci blue when she is in the room and she is always ready to help a friend in need. Mae is one of the optimists of our class. Even though things may go topsy turvy and everything seems up- side down they will always come out all right for Mae, because she looks on the bright side only. She has been a good, industrious stu- dent and we know she will be success- ful in anything she may undertake. There is no better relation than a true and faithful friend. Forty Two m ! I ■. i 1 1 1 CATHERINE BOYER Danville High School Danville, Pa. Doll Those who know her intimately call her DoU and it is a privilege to know her intimately. She may he a little hard to get ac(|naiiited with hnt once you know her . She has the rare niality of heing nice to everyone. Her friends know- that they could not have a hetter friend. She is always willing to aid others in any way possihle. She is a good student, one who know.s how to work well, hut also knows how to play. Her motto is. Work while you work and play while you play. Work and play, sometimes, are like oil and water — they do not mi.K well. Hence we tind her to be a suc- cessful student. She is dainty, petite, good and true. W ' e know she will attain success as a teacher. Our best wishes go with vou, Doll. MARGARET ETHEL BROGAN Central High School Scranton, Pa. Margaret Margaret is one of these .girls with a versatile personality, signified by her black hair and blue eyes. At one min- ute she is full of fun and with mischief shining out of her eyes. The ne.xt she can be just as serious and sympathetic. F.itlier way she is attractive and lov- alilo. Her greatest delight is teasing someone which she does to perfection nuich to her victim ' s discomfort. Yes! we all rcmemljcr how she chased us with a June bug one night. (The June bug |)rovcd to be an imaginary one.) Does Margaret like feeds ? I ' ll say she does! Are they good for Mar- garet? I ' ll say they aren ' t!! Her favorite combination is chocolate cake with pickles and ice cream. Margaret e.xpects to be a teacher and has worked hard during her time here to be an efficient one. We are sure she need have no doubts on that point. Whatever she takes up or what- ever she becomes we all wish her loads of luck and success. Kortx ' Three IR C : CT U m ■ k. ELIZABETH M. BROOKS Milton High School Lewisburg, Pa. Betty If ou ever si ' i. ' a tall, Kraretul form approachiiitf. and hear a laiiKh and a higgle, you ' ll know it ' s Betty. She ha.s .such a cheery laugh that to hear her would drive all thoughts of the blues away. Betty also has one of those things called a singing voice. Show Me the Way to Go Home, and I Love You Truly. are her favorites. On the L ' ke she is a wizard, too. Any popular song is at her command and she sure docs strum ! In the training school Betty is teaching those Junior High kids. The pupils sccnis to he hard to manage ???. but Betty can take care of them and answer all their questions. In addition to her teaching Betty works on the Maroon and Gold staff and is an active member of the Mu Phi Sigma. As a charter member she has helped the sorority to become a thriving organization in our school. Betty lives at Lewisburg. so you can judge for yourself why Bucknell holds such a charm. Fraternities are very near and — well, leave it to Betty. Our best wishes and our love go with Betty in her future work, school teaching and whatever else she under- takes. EDNA BROTHERTON Forty Fort High School Forty Fort, Pa. Eddy Here ' s a surprise, Edna comes from Forty Fort and not from Xanticoke as most people suppose. Wherever you find Edna you find the Xanticoke girls, for they are the best of friends. Have you ever been down to the gym or any place and failed to see her? Xo, she is always ready. Does she like to dance? There ' s no doubt about that. There are other things Edna is very interested in. too. She is one of the famous Athletic leaders. If there ' s ever any work or posters to be made, just go to Edna, and she will gladly assist. It can be said by everyone that knows her that she has a very lovely disposition a. ' d is a good sport. At present, she is busily en- gaged in teaching and we all expect her to be verv successfil. ■: VjL Forty Four 3 6 ' R m ■ u ALICE M. BUDD Honesdale High School Beachlake. Pa. AUce Hark! Did I hear someone say they were Roing to write a check? Yes, and it was Alice. This is a favorite sayiiifj of hers which does not always end in words. Alice is a quiet girl in her way, but it is generally the quiet ones that get there, and leave it to Alice. They say it is a good thing to forget and Alice forgets all else when there are lessons to be learned. She is one of those faithful, conscientious workers upon whom one can depend. But all work would make her a dull girl and she is by no means dull. She is full of fun and surely enjoys a good time. She likes to indulge in that past time known as teasing. She especially likes to pick on the ticklish ones. Like a small boat she bobs about a bit, but we feel sure that some day in some way she will anchor. We suppose, since you intend to do your bit as a teacher, that you will stick to it, but how long we do not know. Whatever you undertake, Alice, we wish you the best that can be de- rived from life in this strange world of ours. EVA BURLINGAME Almedia High School Almedia, Pa. Eva Eva, with her shy, winning ways hails from Almedia. She is one of those girls who comes on the trolley and is always coming to class late. Is the trolley always the cause? Of course it is — for Eva would never try to de- ceive anyone. She studies hard along every line of school work and can al- ways be found working in the library. She is very quiet and quite dignified. . o one would mistake her for an un- derclassman. Senior is written in her actions, her conversation and her studies. If j ' ou don ' t believe in being treated as an undergrad once in a while follow what you ' ve started. Hut you ' re not interested in school work alone. How about bills, especially the Bill from Berwick? We all wish you great success in your teaching, but we doubt if you will teach school very long. r i Forty Five J 1 3 n -- ELEANOR M. BUTLER Northumberland High School Northumberland, Pa. Skeet Do you know any new games for word drill? is Skeet ' s most common work of announcing her presence. She is always interested in the welfare of her young |nii)ils. and she just can ' t seem to do enough for them. No one can say that she isn ' t going to be an ideal teacher. However, Skeet is clever at other things besides teaching — for instance, sewing. One day one of her room- mates found her sewing for all she was worth, and she wasn ' t sewing a dress either. Never mind. Skeet, when it comes to mending men ' s vests, we have to hand it to you. To look at Skeet you would think her the very essence of quiet, but not so. After you get to know her you ' ll find she is just the contrary. She has just enough pep and independence to enable her to meet with success in her chosen profession. Yet. according to all appearances now we fear that in a few years, Pennsylvania will lose one of its best teachers. How about it. Skeet ? ELIZABETH G. BUTTON Springville and Montrose High School Springville, Pa. Betty Betty lived on Long Hall, overlook- ing the kitchen and she seemed to like it there. One reason for her liking it was. perhaps, that she could see every- thing and everyone that was going on or by. Like most girls, Betty liked a good time, but never neglected her work in so doing. She never worried and most always saw the funny side of life. Al- though very quiet in appearance there is a saying that Still water runs deep. I think it proves true of Betty. She has a pleasant personality and by her sweet smile, and gentle ways. she won many friends. She can take a joke for her room was often stacked, and while she tried to act cross, her sense of humor always came to the res- cue. After joining the H. S. U.. her ac- tivities were greatly multiplied, but she never forgot what time the mail was put in. (There ' s a reason). She says that she intends to make teaching her profession, but from reports and ob- servations, we doubt if it will be per- manent. Here ' s wishing her success and hap- piness in whatever she undertakes, whether it be in teaching or otherwise. Forty Six Kc 1 t: MARY CAFFREY Sugar Notch High School Sugar Notch, Pa. Caffrey Blonde hair, bright blue eyes alert, a small trim figure, and Mary stands out before you. Her laugh can always be heard in the halls above every other voice. She has often gotten in Dutch with the proctors and the dean. We all wonder why Mary ' s favorite slogan is Is the mail in yet? Is there someone back there, Mary? Oh! Well! time will tell. Mary is one of the happiest and most likable girls in our dormitory. She has great hopes as a teacher for Uncle Sam ' s children but we can see her only in her rightful place, and that is not in the schoolroom. The best wishes of the class go with you, Mary. MARGARET CAMPBELL Wyoming High School Moosic, Pa. Peg Peg meekly walked up Normal Hill to begin her career September 15. 1924. The following day she attended classes where opinions were formed, namely — My! Isn ' t she quiet? A lovely girl but, oh, so quiet. This was the case for a very short time for we soon heard. ' Peg. ' did you do that? A guilty Um hum — a scamper of feet — the fun was on and the culprit — punished? Xo — forgiven with a sigh because something else was sure to follow. Don ' t form the wron.g opinion of Peg. She could and would be seri- ous in and on all occasions. Those big brown eyes would glow with sympathy as well as sparkle with mischief. Her favorite quotation is ariety is the spice of life. This applies to everything. The sterling qualities of a friend and teacher are very evident and we send our heartiest wishes for vour success. Forty Seven Ul m ■ A;. AUDREY CARLE Kingstown Township High School Trucksville, Pa. Carlo Audrey, better known tn her friends as Carlo, is a true friend and a mar- velous roommate. On first meetins her, one would think her to be very c|uiet and sedate, but wait until you know her! Those brown eyes of hers just twinkle with merriment and inis- chicvousness, when you get her started. Audrey has an interest in all metals, but at the present time her greatest interest is centered upon one particu- lar kind — Copper. Slie loves red curly hair. Do you wonder why? Well, just you take a good look at Copper and you ' ll have no further reason to wonder. We all have our anil)itions and Au- drey ' s is to become an efficient teach- er??? Well. Audrey, we all love you and wish you the best of success in the future, no matter what or where your work might be. MARION CARPENTER Wilkes-Barre High School Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Carp She is not big. she is not tall, But she is very kind to all. She wears a smile, has a fine dispo- sition. Which in life is sure to gain her a position. She ' s never downhearted, she ' s never blue. To her classmates and schoolmates, always true. Carp spends most of her time seeking information. This information is not only upon school work but of- ten upon such topics as Why do boys write upon blue paper? and other such interesting topics. She is very studious — sometimes — but she has proved that teaching is her chosen profession by the interest she shows. Carp says that men mean nothing to her but we would like to know whether Charlie is the name of a horse or ? Everyone knows that girls at school like eats, and Carp is no exception to the rule. She has made many friends during her two years at Xomial and we are sure that she will continue to make friends in her future work. With Carp go our best wishes for success in her chosen profession. Forty Eight Yz: j N - m - BLANCHE CARROLL St. Basil ' s High Dushore, Pa. A inaiiU ' ii modest and .self-possessed. Vet beautiful and sweetly dressed. Blanche is a clever blonde who has a smile for everyone. She could well be the author of a joke book because she has had so many played on her. There ' s nothing like getting the inside dope. eh. Blanche? The school which is lucky enough to claim this little lady for its teacher may well be proud be- cause of her charming i)ersonality and her talents along artistic musical and literary lines. If you were to examine her B. S. N. S. text books you would there find miniature drawings of her professors. Each of these drawings exemplify an occasional mood of the respective instructors. Who would dream that this accom- plished girl came from the Wilds of Sullivan ' RUTH CARVER Nanticoke High School Nanticoke, Pa. Ruthie. a true friend and a real good sport, is a member of the 400 suite gang. Always willing, always ready, she is never missing at work or play. No trick, no joke was ever quite suc- cessful without her. We must admit that she is resjionsible for much of the noise that disturbs the Engleharts. Up until recently. Ruth was our offi- cial alarm clock each morning, but now. she seems to like her bed better than the best breakfast ever served. We are sorry because, as you see, we must now scramble for ourselves. Ruthie loves to dance; for that mat- ter she is fond of all sports and her love of the outdoors will not permit her to stay inside, regardless of the weather. Judging from the amount of walking she does she is a natural born hiker. Her favorite expression is heck, nothing more. Her motto is apparently. Smile and the world smiles with you. Perhaps you can tell us why she is glad when we arc sad. Her pleasant disposition has won herself a host of friends. She is a girl we shall never forget. Forty Nine Ul m MARGARET COBURN Hazleton High School Hazleton, Pa. Marg Most people say, Oh, Margaret Co- burn is that quiet girl. Quiet! You should hear her practicing her music. She looks iuite sedate, doesn ' t she? But if you watch closely, j ' ou ' ll see the nonsense reflected in her eyes. When- ever anyone found a tack in her bed or an alarm clock went off at 3:30 a. m., Margaret ' s blushes proclaimed her participation in the trick. But for all that, she was most studious and plied herself at her lessons with an earnest- ness that brought reward, for more than once those same blushes chased each other over her face when her in- structors gave her well-deserved com- mendation. Her all-around good nature and sportsmanship has won for her many friends and we feel confident that her success which came with her from Hazleton High School and remained with her here will continue in the fu- ture. HOPE COLLEY Central High School Scranton, Pa. Hope A peculiar laugh that attracts atten- tion! Yes. back of that laugh is Hope. She is a lovable girl, fond of fun and pleasure. If Hope is in the right mood you may expect anything to happen that is unusual. She is just full of surprises. We all know Hope ' s interests are varied. She has shown her ability as a student and teacher. By the way. did you ever hear about her sleigh riding parties? There is a beautiful light-haired male in this case — But alas, he measures just four feet in height. Isn ' t it dreadful? HOR- RORS!!! Well, he ' ll grow up some day. We sincerely wish you success in whatever you undertake to do. Hope. Fifty z: 2 ;- ' - ) RUTH COLLINS Nanticoke High School Nanticoke, Pa. Ruthie ' Ruthic comes to us from Nanti- coke and we arc certainly proud of her. She is not the type that pushes herself forward but if you have ever seen a black-haired ijirl. yes. she is the only black-haired .ijirl in the gang, full of fun. you will find that it is she. Ruthie has oodles of fun and pep. which she is never able to dis- play down here but she keeps it for when she goes home. She is a famous proctor, and if there is ever any help needed in the halls she is always ready. Wonder why? She just detests going to bed early and we also think that she detests .getting up early. The first thing in the morning we hear her say, Oh, I ' m so tired. but it doesn ' t take long in the day to find out she has a great deal of ambition and ener.gy stored up. Best wishes of our class go with you, •Ruthie. FRANCES CONNER Orangeville High School Orangeville, Pa. Frances Frances is one of our day students, coming from the distinguished town of Orangeville. She has been faithful in her attendance for two years. While here, she has acquired a great deal of knowledge which we know will be quite invaluable to her in the future, especially that which she has learned in household arts??? Frances is a quiet little girl and is always preparing her work or reading interesting articles in the (jood House- keeping Magazine; but aside from this she still finds time for fun. We all like Frances and she has made many friends during her stay with us. We wish her success in her chosen profession. I ' il ' ly OiR- IJJ) EVELYN CONVILLE Mount Carmel High School Mount Carmel, Pa. Ervie Kvclyn is a Rood sport. Sho has never lieen known to want lor a good time. With her sunny and cheerful dis- position, she has won countless frieuds in B. S. N. S. One of her favorite di- versions is dancing. Whenever there is a dance within reach Ervie is sure to he there. We may well say that she is one of the best dancers in our class. Besides this, Ervie is also a good talker. This, however, is noth- ing to her discredit, for she can be very interesting. When glancing in the male direction slie doesn ' t seem to give one a more lingering glance than an- other, but it is a fact that when the male looks in her direction, he is bound to be overcome by a serious attack of heart trouble. VVe are certain that Ervie will make a charming little schoolmarm, and wish her the greatest success. ARLENE COOLBAUGH Trucksville High School Trucksville, Pa. Cooley May I borrow your grill? Yes, surely. Of course, being polite we never ask what it ' s for, but we know. Just ask a certain someone at State if he likes fudge. . rlene is already a full fledged school- marm. Last year she left our midst to teach and we mourned her loss; great was our joy when she returned this year. Judging from her success in the training school she will be an excel- lent teacher as long as she is a teacher. Remember the day. Arlene, that you caused such excitement in fifth grade? I know someone who will never for- get it. We wish you every success in any undertaking. ' _l Fifty Two IX : LAWRENCE COOLBAUGH Trucksville High School Trucksville, Pa. Shiek Larry Larry came to us from Trucks- ville and it seems as though they made a specialty of handing out Shieks to the world. For this reason Larry soon became very popular with the op- posite sex. He has had more girl friends than Solomon had wives and he seems to be able to handle them, too. His sleek, shining, black hair, his debonair looks, and his dancing abil- ity gave him the right to be the ladies ' friend. Anyone who can dance like Eddie Tracey and have the looks of alentino must be popular with the ladies. Shiek is also a good student and he has a record of passing every sub- ject which he carried at the Xormal School. When we remember the course of study which he selected and the number of hours which he carried this is quite a record. We are certain that he will be one of the best teachers that the State has ever sent out in the teaching profession. We give him our best wishes and hope he succeeds in this great wide world. Good luck, Larrv. ELIZABETH COOPER Central High School Scranton, Pa. Betty Betz Quiet, demure, serene, serious — yes, when she wants to be, but oh, my! When she is cranked up no Lizzie can beat the Lizzie of 360. Punctual — hurry, never. They ' re not in her line of life. Losing hankies? Now you ' ve hit the nail on the head. Yes, Betty is one of the origfinal Three Muskratears. Just ask either of the other two and they can tell you all about Detroit, her favorite topic. Pictures I have seen is another of her specialties. She is one of the best references on movies we have in the dorm. She is also the go-getter when it comes to S. L K. dues. What would the treasury be without her efforts? We surely pity the males if she rushes after them as persistently. Betty has many friends and is an active partici- pant in hikes, parties, and feeds. I ' m gonna be an old maid. We ' ve heard that before but — well, we wish you the best of everything in life. Fifty Tlirec m ITII ( - ' - GILBERT COOPER Newport Township High School Glen Lyon, Pa. Coop Coop is one of the Seniors who belonged to the first Junior High School class ever formed at this in- stitution. His first rush for popularity came in his Junior year when the fellows who wanted their sweat shirts deco- rated learned that he was an excellent artist. His artistic ability was devel- oped further when he came under the direction of Prof. Keller. His artistic ability was best shown in the g -m- nasiuni when it was decorated on vari- ous occasions and also in the Junior High School play, Cinderella. Art was not Coop ' s only accom- plishment. He has also shown his ability along athletic lines. His skill was best shown in baseball, although he played a prominent part in winning many basketball and football games. The only change that has been no- ticed in Coop during his three years ' stay at Bloomsburg is along feminine lines. Last year his interest centered on a certain youn.g lady but this year his interest has varied. The best thin.g we can wish Coop is success and we wish him heaps of it. V M. ALMA CORMAN Gregg Township Vocational School Rebersburg, Pa. Al Even though Al was one of our Shortess gang, the whole school knew her and loved her. Al stayed with us but one semes- ter this year and tears flowed aplenty when she left,: however we ' ll hail her back in June. Never late, never early. Always on time. She ' s that kind of a girlie. Although naturally quiet it didn ' t prevent her from making many friends. The West Chester trip proved to us that still waters run deep, and that looks are deceiving, for she is full of tun. Her personality is a gift from the .gods. We hope to be proud of her as a teacher some day. We are won- derin.g who will be the lucky one to know her best of all. Fifty Four 2: 2 R • ■ JAMES A. COURSEN Larksville High School Larksville. Pa. Jimmie JiiTHTiie makes himseU ' known when- ever the occasion calls for it. Whether it be in the dormitory, on the campus. in the class room or laying someone out at a B. D. C. meeting he is the same Jimmie. He is always serious when something is to be done and is ever alert to what is happening about him. He has certain well defined con- victions to which may be added cour- age to state and stand by. We think his one hundred and eighteen pounds are fifty per cent grit. His studious attitude in class and his fine demeanor both in and out of school may be set as an example for our newer acquain- tance to follow. Jimmie is also ejuite an athlete. Last j-ear he was the best second second- baseman we had on the baseball team. When he took over the reigns in bas- ketbal l his managerial ability was well worthy of recognition. With Jimmie as manager the team was one of the best ever sent out of this institution. Yet. with all his fine qualities, he has one weakness. But. then, who can boast of none? Jimmie is no misog- anist for we see him often with a cer- tain Fae. If you have never noticed him at a concert or any other school function, allow us to inform you that he is never without a companion. SARA V. COYNE Jenkins High School Pittston, Pa. Sally It ' s the girl with the smile that al- ways wins, and Sally sure is a win- ner. She has a smile for everyone and it is a sure cure for the blues. With all her fun. still she is a very earnest and studious girl, and is what we call an all-round good sport, al- ways ready for a good time, and will- ing to work if her help is needed. Life is too short to spend it at hard labor. is Sally ' s motto. In spite of this, she often gets absent-minded and studies her lessons. Did you ever look in box 345? Yes, indeed, there is always a letter there from Pittston. We wonder why? Huh! We notice this one thing about Sally. She is very particular in ad- dressing envelopes, especially to some- one whom she admires. It is too bad she has to spoil so many envelopes to get the last name on. Sally, if you keep on smiling you will always have friends, and we all wish you the best of luck and success. u Fifty Five r r ' J. -m vv « ' HELEN DANIELS Duryea High School Duryea, Pa. Helen Hfliii generally appears (juiet and pensive but, oh. my. from behind that cloak creeps that impish look throuijh her eyes. After all she ' s a real good pal and a wonderful sport. Helen is also not lackinif in friends — ' specially male. Helen is also an active member of the B. S. N. .S. Orchestra and helped make our good times much better and happier by her presence and that shy smile. What wonders us is — why does she have such a grudge against small boys. I suppose Helen believes in getting those you can handle best. All we know is she gets them. Hook or crook? Ask her. We often wonder whether our little blonde Helen will stay in the teaching profession. Of course she likes it, but then — well, whatever walk in life you choose, be sure to read the right sign- post so you know and feel sure of your step. The best regards and wishes of the school go with vou, Helen. Xf MARJORIE DAVEY Honesdale High School Honesdale, Pa. Margie Oh, bed! Oh, bed! Delicious bed. that heaven on earth to my weary head. If one did not know the birthplace of this young lady, he would be like- ly to suspect that she hailed from Reading since her middle name is pretzels. Perhaps this may account for what she calls her Davey charac- teristic, namely, a double chin. Though often pressed by weighty and serious problems, one invariably finds her swinging a wicked racket on the courts of King Tennis. Although the Glee Club will miss her alto warbling, we know she will sing along Life ' s pathway with just the same old smile. The L ke Club, too. will miss her little plunk-plunk- plunk. Margie ' s ambition is to be either a music supervisor or a kindergarten teacher. There, little girl, don ' t cry. You may have your own little kinder- garten bjc and bye. Fifty Si. 3 : m Iv.- EMILY B. DAVIES Nanticoke High School Nanticoke. Pa. Em Just a little girl; a quick step; a flashing gray eye — you couldn ' t be mis- taken — that ' s Emily. Vet her size cer- tainly doesn ' t interfere with her in- dependence or her desirability to us. Em is a strong support of the Glee Club where she heartily e.xercises her alto voice and she is an ardent fol- lower of all athletics. Then in V. V. C. A., what could we do without our social leader? Judging from her popularity here we are sure Entily will always be success- ful wherever she goes and whatever she does; yet we think there won ' t be any danger of her becoming a super- annuated spinster for she ' s pretty to walk with, witty to talk with and pleasant to think about, too. But Em, just one word of warning: Be ofl with the old loves before you are on with the new. even if the Atlantic does lie between them and you. For if she will, she will. Vou may depend on ' t. And if she won ' t, she won ' t, And there ' s an end on ' t. MABEL M. DAVIES Newport Township High School Glen Lyon, Pa. May Xo use asking if you know our Mabel. Everybody docs — at least they ' ve heard of her. Mabel isn ' t the kind that pushes herself to the front but she gets there anyway. It ' s just natural. It seems to us that somehow this last year Mabel looked a bit lonesome, especially after coming back from a visit home. Xevcr mind. Mabel, we all know where your heart is. There ' s an excuse for evervthing in this world. Vc all like Arch. Second Floor Back Hall is going to miss Mabel next year. Where ever Mabel was. there was sure to be laugh- ter. Yes, we will all remember Mabel in her famous role, Ollie. Mabel expects to be a teacher. From all evidence, however, we doubt if she will be one very long, for Cupid in- sists on being in the picture. What- ever she becomes we wish Mabel all the success in the world, whether as a teacher or as — well, we won ' t say a word more. Fifty Seven : f q •• ' ■ ■ ■ MARION DECKER New Albany High School New Albany, Pa. Marion Vf all know Marion as ihc girl with the fric-iully smile. Her cheery hello made many a dull face brighten. But her bright .smile is not her only adorn- ment, tor her face is framed with a halo of exceptionally beautiful blonde curls. Marion ' s ready wit alon.g with her roommate ' s good sense of humor has been the l)ugbcar of many a weary proctor after lights are out. She may appreciate good fun but she never forgets her work and ap- plies herself to it with a thorough dili- gence that always brings fine results. As a member of the Maroon and Gold staff she has adequately illustrated this. To Marion we wish the best of luck and happiness in teaching or w-liatever else to which she may aspire. CHARLOTTE K. DEEBEL Hazleton High School Hazleton, Pa. Deebs By her laugh, ye shall know herl We all have heard Deeb ' s hearty laugh at one time or another and it sure brightened the day for us. With that characteristic we feel certain she will always have as many friends as she has made during her two years here. Deebs hails from the renowned city of Hazelton. which is famed in Bloomsburg annals for its many in- tellectual wonders. If you don ' t be- lieve it leaf over the pages and see how many there are to be found. She is undoubtedly one of our out- standing personages and one who has found time for more things than study. In entertaining Deebs shined. Remember in our Junior year the Dra- matic Club play which she helped to make a success? This year wc saw what a fine Irish cook she could be in the play, Between the Soup and the Savory. With her ability and ambition to back her wc know she will climb far up the ladder of success. Go to it, Deebs! z Fifty Kifflit 3 :x ¥ MILDRED DEITRICK WUliamsport High School WilUamsport, Pa. MilHe Mid Millie has been a member of the Shortess Gang both years, and a lively one. too. we ' ll say. Tall, light, curly (?) hair, blue eyes and an ever- lasting smile are her outstanding I ' ca- tures. If you think she is quiet and reserved you really don ' t know her. When you hear someone calling, Ilcy, Cjavinuia, or sing. Let Me Call You Sweetheart. vou know that it is Millie. Study? Well, yes. but we won ' t say what. She is always in style, anywhere from appendicitis and chickenpox to silver hats. She sometimes starts styles of her own. for instance, being knocked down by a bicycle. Millie travels extensively between Ashland and Bloomsburg. She says she helps her sisters at the tea room over the week-ends, but we wonder whether there isn ' t some other big at- traction besides the good meals she gets. Millie has the qualities of a very eflicient primary teacher, but her love for children and her ability to make candy and cake (ask the North Hall boys) might lead one to believe the primary school will never see her. If it does, she has our best wishes for her success. HELEN DICKINSON Wyoming High School Wyoming, Pa. Helen Look what Wyoming sent to Blooms- burg! Yes, that is where Helen comes from. Does she like to hang about the town? Just ask the girls! Three years ago. Helen boarded the train and started her career. People who have been with her for three years have noticed many changes in Miss Helen. She is no more the ' demure little girl which landed here the first day of school in September. 192,i. Helen has cultivated a great fancy for dancing. She might have a reason for going to after dinner dances — whether that exists as a memory or an actual being cannot be said. She has been a member our B. S. N. S. Orchestra, in fact one of its best violinists. Athletics and the social af- fairs of the Mu Phi Sigma have taken a great deal of her time while here. So far we have added nothing which will prove that Helen is not always as good as she seems. She had two great failings — she hates to get up in the morning, and she would rather read than eat. Then. too. she is one of the biggest pests in the school when it comes to coaxing. Helen is planning on furthering her education at another school, but indica- tions point to the fact that the years spent teaching will be few. we wonder. Fifty Nine h x: r-r-- LJ I MARY DODSON Benton High School Benton, Pa. Good things come in small pack- ages, says an old maxim. This is proved true when one meets this plump little sli]) of a girl. And when one gazes into those blue eyes of hers — well, no use to try to describe their effect, for it can ' t be done — they are just Mary ' s own eyes! Mary always pops into first class shortly after the last bell rings, then she looks around so innocently and smiles her engaging, happy smile which makes us forgive her immediately. Smooth and glossy is Mary ' s hair, making a frame for the joyous little face. We like straight hair when it is as becoming as yours. Although we are saying adieu to you now and we ' re wishing you happi- ness and luck; yet we will always re- member our dear, little, red-haired Mary, who captured and held our hearts while she attended old Normal on the Hill. CLEMENTINE DOMINICK Plains High School Plains, Pa. Tina Is there anything to eat? — hello. Tina ' s here! Before we have a chance to answer, a slamming of books, chairs and doors, and a scraping of heels down the hall informs us that Tina has gone to look for mail. Eating and looking for mail are Tina ' s pet diversions. In fact, of the classical atmosphere of Bryn Mawr or vicinity is not wafted by mail to our school at least twice a week, the furniture of Room 214 begins to suf- fer. Of late though — Tina has devel- oped a hitherto unexpected interest in things artistic. We are taught that our associates influence our ideas — perhaps that is the case in this in- stance. Who knows but that Tina ' s name may some time rank high in the list of famous artists? Anyway. Tina, we know that you are a staunch, sin- cere friend and we wish you just as much happiness in life after you are through school as vou have had this far. Sixty z: LJ ' il KATHLEEN DORMER Shamokin High School Shamokin, Pa. Dormer That she is timid and sedate No doubt you may aver; But that proves well enough perhaps How little you knew her. Kathleen is capable of impressing one that she is very sedate and silent — but not when you know her very well. Whenever you see Kathleen she is either talking or laughing. She pos- sesses an unusual personality, as well as ability. Kathleen ' s hobbies are tall fellows and dancing. She is one of the Shamokinitcs and is very seldom seen unless accompanied by the other four. Heaps of luck in teaching, Kath- leen. iy- FREAS DOWNING Huntington Township High School Cambria, Pa. Downing Downing was an all-around student and an enthusiastic worker. After at- tending Normal for a number of sum- mer terms, he entered the Senior class in the mad rush of V)2(i. His words are few but cheerful and they sure do carry weight. Here is one of the men whose thoughts never touch the fairer sex, but whose countenance teems with in- telligence and whose manly form con- tains a heart as far from fraud as earth is from heaven. Downing was also a member of the Hash Slingers ' Union. If you should ask any of the members of his table if he was punctual the reply would surely be in the negative. Downing certainly did enjoy model- ing horses and railway coaches. He was a man of his word, who respected the rights of others and when the re- volt of the Juniors came, he stuck to the colors and obeyed the laws of wearing the black ties, dink, etc. The Seniors have not forgotten you. Down- ing and we trust yini have not forgot- ten us. Downing is sure to make his mark in the wide world. We wish him the best of luck in all that he undertakes. Sixty One K 2v FR ±1: t m 1 m I KATHRYN DRUMM Centre High School Bloomsburg, Pa. Kate Here ' s a girl, as you see, who has retained her long tresses because she disliked to lose those pretty curls. Kate is one of our happy go-lucky girls who always sees the bright side of life. She believes in the maxim. Always put off mitil tomorrow what you should do today. and her motto is. It is not what I do but what I say that counts. It did not take us long to learn that Kathryn was a girl with a sunny dis- position and one quite worth while having as a friend. Kathryn is particularh- interested in art and her sole ambition is to become an art teacher and as she is especially talented along this line we feel sure she will make a success of her pro- fession. The class of ' 26 wish vou luck. iy- ' MAE DUGAN WUkes-Barre High School Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Mae Rita Behold! another one of the Cheery Eight. A wonderful girl, a true friend, a good sport — this is Iae. Her chest- nut hair and big brown eyes make the name Mae Rita a by-word of love- liness throughout the dormitory. We have all wondered why Mae seemed a wee bit partial to a little chap in second grade called Red. It didn ' t take long for us to find out though. And play the piano? She surely knows her stufT. ery willingly Mac always contributes her share of play- ing at the dances held after dinner in the gym. Mae has a very pleasing voice, although we were unaware of it at first. Her ability could not re- main hidden very long. Looking for Mae? Find out where the eats are and there you will find her. Our best wishes for success and good luck go with you. Mae. k: sixty Two :x 1 1 i) JOSEPH L. DUGAN B. S. N. S. High School Dept. Lost Creek, Pa. Dugan Joe atteiuled Graniniar School in West Mahonoy Township High School. After pursuing a business course, he dcddecl to enroll in Bloonisburg State Normal School in 1922 and follow the teaching profession. While here, he finished his High School course and started out on a three-year course in the Normal School. During his stay here, he was elected President of the B. D. C. and that is where Joe showed the fine qualities of which he is made. Dugan was a working studious lad. The only deficiency he ever received was for waiting on tables. Aside from this, Joe was a good hash slinger and believe me he sure did have to sling it for the training tables. We think of Dugan as one. who at- tends to his own affairs and yet has time to give a good healthy smile to a friend. Oftinies his Irish tenor voice was heard singing. My Rosary. Furthermore. Dugan was quite an athlete and his record still stands in the hooks of the class team. Rah! Rah! Remnants! This was the name of Dugan s team, hut Joe never seemed to tell where they received this name. May success always be yours. B. D. C. meeting to-nite. K, ' HELEN LOUISE DUNN White Haven High School White Haven, Pa. Helen Louise Who could be sad or homesick when Helen was around? No one! Her jolly good wit and merry fun. which fairly overflows until it floods her pret- ty blue eyes and simply has to come out, is a panacea for all sorts of home- sickness — deep or merely surface. Helen made her debut into B. S. N. S. after graduating from White Haven High School with the class of 24. in which, it cannot be doubted by any- one who knows her. she was an active member. But Helen was not always the merry-maker, for very often we saw her studiously pouring over her books, and. by examination of her standards in the class, we feel she was amply rewarded for thus persevering. Helen has a flair for good house- keeping which we fear will interfere with the length of her career as a school teacher, for we notice that we arc not the only persons who have recognized this fact. No matter what you do. Hclcn — may the best of luck be vours! i ( ThliT — 1 r EMILY EDWARDS Blcomsburg High School Bloomsburg, Pa. Em Km is OIK- of our quiet girls — sometimes. She is one of our com- muters and lives on Main Street. Em started school here by taking music only, but has finally decided that school teaching is the only profession for her. We hope it is. but we have our doubts for Em seems to have other interests outside of school. Although Em appears to l)e very shy and quiet, she is not always mum. Wait until you get her started. Em is a very industrious girl. She knows just what she wants and goes after it. Judging from all appearances, we know Em will be a successful teach- er and we wish her the best of luck. MARGARET EMMITT Bloomsburg High School Danville, Pa. Marg Margaret Enimitt! Who does not know her? If they do not. they have missed a great deal, because she is one of the three-year students who is always on the go. She is a member of the Dramatic Club and proves her ability by taking charge of the Junior High School Dra- matic Club. Her social activities are scattered over a wide range of terri- tory and a variety of subjects. We must not forget to mention that a great deal of our Mu Phi Sigma is to l)e accredited to Marg. Her many outside interests, how- ever, do not detract from her studies. She is one of our best English teach- ers and I have no doubt that it is such persons as this whom the State covets. But I ' m afraid Margaret has another calling in an entire different direction. Hucknell seems to have within its walls of fame some magnetic per- sonality who wields a great influence over Marg. Margaret, we ' ll be proud of you whatever you undertake and may hap- piness and success stay with you. KC Sixty Four 2 MARY S. ERICKSON ' Technical High School Scranton, Pa. Mary Those who have known Mary for the past two years have found her a true friend; but those who have known her for three years know her as a won- derful pal. You ask why Mary rise? so early in the morning — why. don ' t you know that she has chosen English as her life ' s profession? In more than one way has Mary proven herself a capable student and leader. She served on the Obiter Staflf in her middle year and also as Treasurer and an active member of the Mu Phi Sigma. There are lour things that Mary really loves to do and they are — eating, skating, dancing and teasing. This is a strange combination, but Mary is an unusual girl. When it ' s mail time. Mary ' s inquiry is. Did I get a letter? Well. I don ' t see why I didn ' t. Best of luck. Mary, in all your work, whatever it mav be. j - -V LOIS EROH Berwick High School Mifflinville, Pa. Who is this quiet little girl with her pretty blue eyes, black curls and a pleasant smile? That ' s Lois Eroh! She comes to us from Mifflinville. gifted by nature with an easy-going manner of accepting the inevitable, so we never see her demeanor ruffled or her placidity disturbed. All girls love their brothers. But I so good have grown That I love the other girl ' s brother Better than my own. We were all much surprised to find that the above was true of Lois, but nevertheless, we consider the other girl ' s brother mighty lucky. Here ' s wishing you success and hap- piness in whatever you undertake, be it school teaching or otherwise. Sixt Fi F=P r - m ELEANOR T. EVANS Wilkes-Barre High School WUkes-Barre, Pa. El What would the Cheery Kight be without Kl ? We all kuow that good things come in small packages. So it seems with El. Her pleasant smile and charming ways have brought her many friends. El is faithful to all her tasks and never stops until they are finished. Making lesson plans, everyone knows, is her one delight. Kl says that teach- ing is her life-time profession. But we know some people who would go back to school, only to have EI as a teacher. El ' s main delight is being proctor, but like Postum, there ' s a reason. A little bit of eats gathered here and there helps when you ' re hungry. She is full of pep and life, and is al- ways looking for a good time, and finds it. She might be small but she can make a lot of noise. In your teaching. El. the memor- able gang and the rest of the class wish you the best of luck and success. KATHRYN R. EVANS Wilkes-Barre High School Wilkes-Barre. Pa. Katty Katty is one of the sinall. talkative members of our class. Whenever you hear someone coming along the hall with a quick, light step, and talking at the top of her voice, you can be sure it is Katty. She is a regular go-getter. When- ever she wants anything she goes after it until she gets it from someone, even though she never knew the person be- fore. Katty certainly receives her share of mail from Wilkes-Barre. and it isn ' t all from home either???:?? Katty is one of the best sports we know and is always willing to help someone. She certainly enjoys reading Park- er ' s. Xevcr mind. Katty. you won ' t have to study forever: your big troubles will soon be over and little ones will take their place. Best wishes and success from the class of ' 26. Sixty Six la y i MARGARET LOUISE EVANS Edwardsville High School Forty-Fort, Pa. Peg The mischiovous smile tells you a lot about Peg. She is good-natured, tun- loving, and witty — yes. and generous beyond a doubt. Her wide-awake brain needs no books to make her a success. Brevity is the soul of wit and Peg proves it. Our Peg is clever at entertaining, too. Her uke and unusual songs keep us in the best of humor. Did you ever hear her reciter The Double Quartet appreciated her elocution on their many trips. Peg loves dogs devotedly. She gives a friendly pat to every one she ever passes. Since she cannot have a real dog at school, she keeps Methusaler to comfort her. (Methusaler is the best the five and ten could do in the way of dogs.) Whenever Peg gets a candy bar at the Y . she is particular about its be- ing a Hey. Eddie. Rut then — so are we all. Vivacious. Peg can be nothing but a success in her teaching career. With you. Margaret, go the best wishes of the class of ' 26. HILDA FEISSNER Foster Township High School Eckley, Pa. Hilda Although Hilda just came to us in the second semester of our Senior year we all bid her a hearty welcome. Needless to say, whenever you find Hilda, you also find plenty of fun and laughter, for she is the one who just bubbles over with fun and tricks. Hilda does not believe in all fun and no work, because she is always well prepared for her lessons. She sees to it that her work is all finished before she starts on her rounds of merry- making. Hilda is very successful with the children. We know that she has been and will contiime. that is — if! Now Hilda says she is going to teach for- ever, but we have our serious doubts as to that. Beware, lest H. D. M. does not a.gree with you. Someone sug- gested that even if you go on with studies to a greater extent, your final degree will be a M.R.S. All your classmates extend best wishes for success in any of your un- dertakings. z: sixty Sovon i: - FRANCES FESTER Berwick High School Berwick, Pa. Frances Francos is a qui .-t, Kood-iiaturcd girl from Berwick. We found a Rood all- round sport in the girl who came to us in 1025. for whenever there is to be any fun, she is right there. She likes a good time, but never neglects her studies for pleasure. Besides all these good qualities, you can ' t help notice her beauty. It ' s no wonder her Sus- quehanna boy friend has so many rivals. Frances likes Oakland cars — other cars, too — and she surely knows how to drive one. If you don ' t believe it. take a ride with her some time. We ' ll guarantee that you will safely return. She is a girl who has proved herself a good friend to each and every one of us, and here ' s wishing her joy, hap- piness, good luck, ' n everything. - VERNA FETTERMAN Sunbury High School Sunbury, Pa . Verna ' erna has only been with us this year but in that short time she has won many friends due to her pleasing per- sonality. We wish you could have l)een here longer, ' erna. This little lass has a big heart. If you want a favor done, go to Verna. and, if there is any way in which she can help you, you can be sure of help. Happy, jolly, and full of pep that is our ' erna. An all-around good sport is she. Yet, she is studious. She surely lives up to her motto. Work before play. !)ut she docs like to play. too. W ' c wish you all the success you de- serve. ' erna, and that is by no means a little bit! Sixty Eight 2 R FRANCES I. FISHER Kingston Township High School Trucksville, Pa. Fisher The old saying. You can ' t judRc a book by its cover. is true in connec- tion with Fisher. Because behind that pair of brown eyes lurks more mischief than one would think. We know that Fisher has all the best qualities for teaching , but we would not feel safe in i)rophesying that she will teach for a long time for such an attractive Miss would never want to class herself among the self-support- ing women. Of course. Fisher does not spend all her time studying. In her spare mo- ments you will always find her with the rest of the double quartet eating. hiking, telling jokes or going down town. Her chief worries at school are eats and trying to get enough sleep. As a girl who is always full of fun. a pleasant companion, and a good school teacher, you take with you best wishes for your happiness and success from the class of ' 26. 1 % k STELLA FLYNN Jenkins High School Pittston. Pa. Stella Stella is loved by all who know her. Xo one ever meets her who doesn ' t re- member her. It ' s not only her brown eyes, but it ' s her wonderful disposition and her charming: ways which attract. Stella is a true friend and a marvelous roommate. She is always ready to have a .good time and enjoy life, espe- cially when she receives a letter from some one at St. Bonaventurc ' s. Stella is a very great talker, too, but we like her all the more for it. We are sure she will use this talent very well in teaching, and we all wonder if it will be necessary for Stella to use a triangle in her class room. Stella receives many letters from my mother, or tny sister. as she says, but we doubt the source. We hope after you leave Bloomsburg you will be loved as well as we love you. of which we have no doubt. May you be successful in your future work. Sixty Nine z: 2i. = U I m RUTH FORCE Benton Vocational High Benton, Pa. Ruth Ruth comes to us from that won- derful city of Benton. Although she was out of school for one whole year she has not forgotten how to study intelligently the many difficult studies she claims she meets at B. S. N. S. One of Ruth ' s favorite expressions is I ' se never knows anything no matter how many times I ' se stu dios it. If this is true Ruth is certainly a good guesser for she usually has a brilliant answer ready for the questions she is asked. Between her periods of worry over her lessons and her troubles — for she says she has many — she has time to be a very pleasant companion to all and because of this companionship we feci sure she will never lack friends. We wish you well, Ruth, in what- ever new undertaking you start and we hope those worries and troubles of yours will soon subside. ARLINE H. FRANTZ Dallas High School Dallas, Pa. Arline Don ' t do anything I wouldn ' t do, and Don ' t take any wooden nickels, were Arline ' s favorite expressions. Of course every one can ' t appreciate it, but a few of us can. If ever you are looking for some one to eat, drink and be merry with you, Arline is the one to call upon. She ' s a Pep Meeting all herself. That ' s why the Third Floor Annex Gang is never complete without her. Vou couldn ' t talk to Arline long without bearing about her Wyoming Seminary days but she ' ll have to ad- mit that the jr. Prom in 1925 will pro- vide memories to last for many a day. Thanks to Fisher. N ' est-cepas, Arline? There is always a letter in Arline ' s box. If you happen to meet her after she has read the Lewisburg letter you will see a far away look in her eyes. As a teacher . rline is a huge suc- cess and we know that her two years spent along that line will be a pleasure rather than a task. Here ' s wishing j-ou success and happiness — be it in teaching or otherwise. Only don ' t for- get that Early to bed. e arly to rise. Makes a girl healthy, wealthy and wise. Seventy Y L :x h : ty FLORENCE FRIEDBERG Berwick High School Berwick, Pa. Flo Florence is an extremely industrious young lady. Never doe.s she go to a class without her lessons well pre- pared. A common expression often heard is. Oh. ' Flo. ' do you have that last assignment finished? Of course. Flo has, and gladly shares it with others. A good sport and pal is she. Flo is very fond of dancing, and it is said that she rarely misses a dance. Flo believes in the motto that all work and no play makes Flo a chill girl. Therefore, she lives up to it to the last degree. Flo. do you remember on two oc- casions you wrote comiiositions for Mr. Black ' s class? Only a joke, but you are the kind that can take a joke. The best of success to you. Flo, is the wish of all your friends. ELLA C. FRIEDLY Benton Vocational School Benton, Pa. Ella One ' s first idea of this girl is that she is a very quiet person but on further- ing her acquaintance they will find that she is very lively, indeed, as many from the locker room have found out. Klla is a commuter and arrives on the R. S. every day at 7 a. m. She is a graduate of the Benton Vo- cational School and although not very much interested in Domestic Science now. from all appearances she will some time take more interest in it. Klla. we wish you success in what- ever you may do in the vears to come. Seventy One DOROTHY FRIEDMAN Luzerne High School Luzerne, Pa. Dot A shy little maiden was Dot when she came to Normal School as a Junior, but two years of school life has greatly changed her. Nevertheless she is still shy of cats and mice, and does not care for a black cat as her bed fellow. We have heard that Doro- thy would rather be called Dot than Lefty — ask Dodo, he knows. Men aren ' t a topic that Dot discusses very often but wc wonder who sent her the drawings that are displayed in her room. When it comes to being a good sport Dorothy is always there. One will always find her as a real friend. Dot is a willing and earnest worker as a member of the Y. V. C. A., and can always be found on some committee doing her share. The Alpha Delta Zeta ' s have a loyal sister as recording secretary when they chose Dot to fill the office. In the years that are to come wc. the class of ' 26. wish Dot the best success and happiness. CLOREA FRITZ Bloomsburg High School Bloomsburg, Pa. Clo Still water runs deep. You can prove this saying if you know Clo. Although she appears to be a very quiet girl, she can certainly make things hum once she is started. She has a fine disposition and al- ways has a smile for any one who comes along her way. Clo is one of our commuters and can often be seen traveling up over the hill to school. Did you say industrious? If you have any doubt about assignments, go to Clorea. She always knows. No bit of instruction conveyed in the class- room ever escapes her hearing an d her tasks are always well done. Success to you in your teaching, Clorea. Seventy Two 2 f HARRIETT FRY Shamokin High School Shamokin. Pa. Harry No-o-o. don ' t touch my hair is Harriett ' s favorite war cry. Now don ' t think Harry is a pugilist, she isn ' t exactly. Instead she is a tuturist. foretelling ' fortunes. This is her chief hobby. . s a soothsayer, she certainly has some line. This little dark-eyed girl is a hearty supporter of both the Glee Club and the I ' ke Club. It seems she has a natural bend for strumming the Uke. When Harry dislikes a thing, she fairly hates it: for instance. Fridays. Oh. how she detests them, first its get sheets, then clean, go to fifty different classes and chapel. That ' s enough to make anybody hate a day. However. Harriett likes somethings as ardently as she hates Fridays. ow for one thing let us think of carnations. F.very Sunday night Harriett wears one or more of these sweet flowers. May the clouds in your future be a bright and happy one. Harriet, just as your eyes are. THELMA M. FULLER Newport Township High School Glen Lycn, Pa. Fuller Ko, Thelma doesn ' t room up in the dorm, although she can usually be found there, especially when somebody needs a haircut. She has a standing invitation to the room of any Senior who has had the pleasure of being in any class with her. Thclma ' s supply of jokes and stories is inexhaustible. Even if you did hear them many times before, she can tell them in a new way and make you en- joy them. Some people are gifted with the art of not only speaking with their mouths, but also speaking through their facial expression. Thelma is one of these lucky persons. Her flashing eyes and the tilt of her head, aid in this mode of expression. You are a classmate of Thelma ' s but a short time before you can readily ap- preciate the keen mind this girl pos- sesses. It can never be said of Thelma, that she does not participate whole- heartedly in all class room work. If Thelma is loved and appreciated in the outside world as much as she has been loved and appreciated during her stay at Normal, she cannot help but be a success, in whatever career she chooses. Seventy Three Y Zv 1 f — r Ul m u MAE GABLE Tower City High School Tower City, Pa. Mickey No, she is not as quiet and prim as she looks ' — not when she once gets started. Full of lite, pep and vim. and game for anything from an all-night party to a game of Mah-Jongg. She is the life of the party as far as the S. I. K. is concerned as well as its President. Third Floor . nncx all know Mickey and 360 — and, oh yes, her famous guitar. Many are the solos she has rendered for spell-bound audi- ences. In fact her three main talents all begin with M — Music, Math., and Men — or should I say Man ? Judg ' ng from the number of times a certain Bill is mentionel in 360, we would answer Vcs. Mickey is peculiar in that, unlike the rest of us. she docs not object to Bills. We have our suspicions as to how long you will teach, but we wish you success and happiness in whatever field vou choose. MAGDALENE GALGANOVICZ Hazle Township High School West Hazleton, Pa. Magdalene is a true e.xample of that well-known proverb, Still waters run deep. She is one of the very quietest girls at B. S. N. S. and is more inter- ested in her studies than in any other phase of her school life. Magdalene is such a model young lady that if she were guilty of one little piccadillo the strong foundations of the worthy in- stitution of B. S. N. S. would crumble to dust. She is a very diligent and keenly interested in her numerous studies but there is one subject of which Magdalene will always have painful reminiscences. This undesirable sub- ject is mathematics. Our Normal may well be proud of its work when it turns out such a fin- ished and accomplished teacher as Magdalene is destined to become. We feel confident that the children en- trusted to her care will receive a careful and thorough education. We wish Ma.gdalene the greatest suc- cess and happiness that can be attained in her career. Sevent} ' Four r MARY A. GALLAGHER St. Vincent ' s High School Plymouth, Pa. Here is another one of our girls whose appearance denotes modesty and quietness, but we find appearances de- ceiviuf f because Mary is generally pres- ent when uc have fun on third floor. She is quiet — yes — but in a group of merrymakers she is sure to do her part. Mary is very conscientious especial- ly when she is proctor. She always polices the halls until every one is very, very quiet and asleep. Is that nice, Mary? Mary has only one worry and that is her roommate ' s behavior. One of her favorite sayings is Oh Sweeney! She is a very popular young lady as you can see by her mail box. What is pie without filling and what is Mary without her nightly visit to Reilly ' s for chocolate cake and pea- nuts ' This was one of her famous pas- times. We all have our ambitions and Mary ' s chief one is to become an efficient teacher and we have no doubt that her ambition will be fulfilled. ' JOSEPHINE M. GAVEY Newport Township High School Glen Lyon, Pa. Jo Gavey ' Gavey! ' Hello ' (.javey! ' Come on, we are going! was one mark of dis- tinction this little maiden had. She was one of the famous Ncwi)ort Gang, and room 458, fourth floor annex, was never without the sweet melody of her voice, mingled together with the other members of her Gang. If only the walls could speak, they would have a fine time relating all the experiences in that room. One of Jo ' s past-times was steam- ing her hair. We wondered for whom this took place? We shall never forget the surprise party which was held in her room in our Junior year.. Toasts and speeches were numerous. The gang, together with Jo, assured the attendants a very good time according to Miss Munroe ' s report. She was one of the very many who attended. Loads of success, love, and happi- ness and all that goes with it we wish you. Josephine. Srventy Five ( - PEARLE GEARHART Danville High School Danville, Pa. Pearle ' s motto is Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you. Her favorite occupations are reading and laughing. Pcarle surely is a friend worth having. She is kind and has a great deal of sympathy for every one. When in trouble seek Pearle and she will surely cheer you up. Ask Pearle what is the big attrac- tion for going home every week-end? Of course, she will say to get away from the monotony of school life, but we do not have to accept this; we can draw our own conclusions. However I am sure everyone is glad to claim Pearle as a friend and school- mate while at B. S. N. S. ' RAYMOND GETZ MillvUle High School MillvUle. Pa. Getzie Getzie hailed from that illustrious town of Millville. He joined our class in the Senior year, having spent some time in this institution in previous years. Getzie is one of our jolliest classmates and hash slingers. Although he has a serious look about his face, if there is anything of innocent fun. he is sure to be in it for all he is worth. Getzie seemed to take no interest in the fairer sex but we are inclined to believe that he is interested in some one at home. He is also gifted with the power of oratory, especially when serv- ing as chairman of certain committees. Don ' t forget the B. D. C. Getz. No man is without faults, so a se- cret must be revealed. Getzie is very fond of cookies and apples and he tried very hard to keep a supply of them on hand. But. there are moments when the best of friends must part, when the long-loved ties must be torn asunder, and the words of parting unwillingly uttered. Such are these moments, but even though we will miss Getzie ' s smiling countenance, yet we can rejoice in the memories of our school days at old Bloom, Success to you. Getzie. K Seventy Six Z R RUTH J. GILL Blakely High School Blakely, Pa. Ruther Happy, carefree, lively, and optimisti- cal — just a few of the words that de- scribe her; sorrowful, angry, quiet, and pessimistical — just a few that don ' t. Ruth is a lassie, tali and dark, with one of those happy dispositions that are so rare in such a busy world. Is it any wonder we are proud of her? Sometimes we worry over the etTecls of over-study upon certain people, but in Ruth ' s case such worry is quite mi- necessary. Of course she studies but — what we mean is that there are other things more agreeable to her — for in- stance, eating. Poor Ruth is always starved and she ' d walk a mile for a sandwich. If you don ' t believe us, ask the Y. W. what kind of customer Ruth is. Now, Ruth, despite the facts that you are not study crazy and are al- ways hungry, we love you. We are sure you ' ll be a teacher, successful and worthy of the love your young pupils will have for you, and we all join in wishing you success and happiness in everything you may attempt. ANN GOGOLACH Plymouth High School Plymouth, Pa. Ann Ann came into our midst a shy, de- mure little girl, but after a year had elapsed she was completely trans- formed. She is now noted for her good nature and certainly enlivens things with her ready giggle. We wonder why Ann always has a great deal of trouble keeping her pretty yellow handkerchiefs?? — and who she brings the pickles from home for??? — ask her roomie. Ann is also an active member of that famous orchestra which meets every once in a while in room 280. Ever since she has had her fortune told she has changed her attitude to- w ' ard life — wc wonder why. We can easily say that Ann will never again trust her raven tresses to the unskilled ?? . ' nn has assured us that teaching will be her life profession but one can never tell what the future will hold for her. Anyway we wish you luck in what ever it may be. y Seventy Seven 2 L—l 1 A.

If sonic day you should happen to cross the street in front of an ap- proaching car you might hear a cheer- ful voice behind you say, Arc you tired of life? Then turning around you would behold a tall girl with straight blond hair and with a smile on her lace which makes you want to know her better — this would be our fiouklen, When you know her better your first discovery will lie her possession of a never-ending supply of wit and humor. Every day you will learn something new about Goulden. She will tell you she is a man-hater but — she may some day sHp a certain story about her father winding a clock as a gentle re- minder to a certain young member of the opposite sex. As a final tribute to our Goulden we can say — To know her is to love her — and we surelv knew her well. X- li HAZEL GRAHAM Technical High School Peckville, Pa. Shorty She may be small but as they say good things come in small packages so Shorty is one of the little girls who comes from the unknown town, Peckville. She has a personality that has won for her many friends and is loved by all who know her as a true and faithful friend. She has always been a diligent, earnest student as well as a jolly com- panion. As to her career, we are not at all well posted. Oh! yes. she intends to teach for some time, but we fear, ac- cording to some letters that she has received recently, that she will not make it a prolonged experience. Did you mention ea ts — well. Hazel is always at hand when there is a feed. But how generously she has supplied us with eats, too. We shall never for- get them. We will always remember her as a good sport, a true friend and a pal to everyone. Sevontv F.islit z: 2 MARIE GRIER Pittston High School Pittston, Pa. Marie It is quite impossible in such a short sketch as this is to do anything like justice to many of our excellent class- mates, and Marie is among the first people on this list. Marie is an industrious girl and a very good student. However, she does not spend all of her time on her books, and can enjoy a good time just as much as any of us. She never misses a trick, and many times she has taken the blame for things that she knew nothing (???) about. As -a teacher, Marie has met with a great deal of success in the training school, and we all feel certain that she will be even more successful when she enters the teaching world. How long will Marie ' s career as a teacher last? — I hear someone asking. I really can- not answer that question, as Marie has kept us all guessing. Well, anyhow, Marie whetlur your choice shall be to settle down in a home of your own on the sandy streets of Pittston, or to make teaching your life profession, you have the best wishes of your classmates for success and happiness. BESSIE GROSSMAN Hazleton High School Hazleton, Pa. Bess Don ' t bite the hand that feeds you is good advice. We followed it and as a result. Bess ' s room was usually converted into a veritable cafeteria. Many a thin school marm would have been graduated from R. S. N. S. had it not been for room 460 to which we went time and again to appease those pangs of hunger to which all are sub- ject at some time or other. Now a question arises in my niind. Bess called often on a well-known Bloomsburg family. Contrary to the custom of most people, she went when the son was in, rather than out. It seemed to agree with her, for she al- ways returned from her visit feeling fine and looking the same. Son is a cure for many things. Studious, eager to help, full of pep, always ready to laugh, a good sport and last, hut not least — an honest-to- goodness friend. All these and more was Bess. Not was, but is, and al- ways will be. We wish you health, wealth, happi- ness and luck. What more could we wish you? 2 Seventy Nine 2 [R m ]-■ Jisij L IRENE B. GUFFROVITCH Nanticoke High School Nanticoke, Pa. Irene Crash! Bi ' iik! Bang! Irene is in the room. We are all aware of her pres- ence. Wherever Irene is you can usual- ly hear a strain of some popular piece of music. Yes. Irene is quite a singer. Besides, singing, she dances too. Irene is noted among the 400 gang for putting on the one-act plays. Irene usually features herself as the vampire. She carries off her part well, with the aid of some of the other members. Sports seem to be of great interest to her, especially, football. I wonder why? But then. Irene is a jolly com- panion and a good sport. Although she is often seen out for the fun of things she does have some serious thoughts. Teaching is her uppermost one. now. However, we are quite sure that she will be a success since she has everything for making one. We wish vou luck, Irene. RAY HAGENBUCH Center High School Bloomsburg, Pa. Ray Ray is an out-of-town student and whenever we hear his Ford rattling up the hill, we can easily tell it. The rea- son for this is that his Ford has a particular rattle. The rattle of his Ford is distinctly known by a number of female voices of the student body. Do not mistake me because he does not drive a Jitney. There is a reason for everything and we wonder what his reason may be. Ray is always ready for a good time and we are sure he has had many of them when he has been with us. He is the type of person who can liven up any party and as you see his pres- ence was greatly appreciated. The Rural Group has the honor of his membership while he is also a member of the B. S. N. S. Symphony Orchestra and the Basketball Reserves. He intends to teach in the rural schools of Pennsylvania but we are not sure as to whether he will carry out these plans, because he has a musical inclination. We wish him heaps of luck and success. Eiglily Y 2 f PEARL HAGENBUCH Bloomsburg High School Bloomsburg, Pa. Pearl It will do 3011 no good to go hunting for Pearls in Bloomsburg. for some- one has already hunted and has found this one. How about it. Pearl ? She is one of our commuters and can often be seen hurrying and puffing up the hill at about five minutes to eight. However, she always manages to land in her seat number in Efficiency class by the time the bell has rung. This does not mean that Pearl is ac- tually slow for she is not. She is one of our industrious girls who succeeds in everything she attempts. Pearl says she is going to be an artist and I think that there is no doul)t that she will succeed. Whatever your future work will be, we wish vou the best of success. MARY ELLEN HARKINS Hazel Township High School Harleigh, Pa. Nellie Judging Nellie. as she is most com- monly called, from her placid and se- rene countenance one is led to con- clude that she is a very quiet and calm young person. Quite the contrary is the fact. Xellie is gifted with an overwhelming and overflowing sense of Irish wit and humor. She is one of the busiest persons at the B. S. N. S. Xellie spends one- half of her time thinking of home and wishing she was there. The rest of her time is spent in assiduously mark- ing off the dates of the days on the calendar trying to spur old Father Time a little further on in his slow- travels. Xcllie ' s great ambition is yet to be realized. She is imbued with the ad- venturous spirit to travel and see the world. Nellie keenly feels that her education is incomplete until she broadens her intellect by actual travel- ing. May she achieve her desire and all the success and happiness that goes in realizing one ' s ambition. Eighty One 2 U I m c ) GRACE E. HARLOS Dorranceton High School Kingston, Pa. Grace I ' m so sleepy — and yet I have just ' oodles ' of work to do! Yes, that ' s our Ciracc. Ah. I got a letter, conies floatinj? down the hall, and her face is wreathed with smiles. We are sorry to hear that he isn ' t nearer to B. S. N. S. if that is the way it affects you. Grace takes considerable interest in school activities. This year she is our class reporter on the Maroon and Gold. She is fully prepared for this responsi- bility, because she is specializing in English. If your name doesn ' t appear in print it ' s her fault, if it does it ' s her fault anyway, so you see what sort of a person she is. Last year Grace was particularly in- terested in tennis and football, but this year she is interested in learning to play- cards. Of course there ' s a reason — but it is for you to fathom. Grace has spent three years within the portals of Old Normal. So you see it isn ' t necessary to say any more about her. for she is well known and liked by all of us. The best of luck, Grace, in the years to come. EDISON D. HARRIS ' Edwardsville High School EdwardsvUle, Pa. Ed Ed hails from that well known town of Edwardsville. His popularity among the students has been won by his leadership, personality and his ability to sing. F.d takes an active part in all of his school activities. He was Man- ager of the Football team, Editor-in- Chief of the Obiter, until his sudden departure, a member of the Double Quartette, Editor of the Maroon and Gold and one of the most industrious students which the Normal School ever has had. When the Double Quartette shines, Ed shines. He is Miss Perner ' s right hand man. Frequently during the day we can hear Ed singing some very melodious songs. From the type of songs he sings we wonder to whom they arc dedicated— maybe she is at Normal. When we think of the vaudeville, the fight for better eats, and the school paper, we think of Ed. Ed has ambitions of pursuing his vocal cul- ture. We all wish you success and trust that we may hear of you in the near future. Good luck to you. Ed. y Eighty Two R . ) - LU MARTHA HARRIS Center High School Bloomsburg, Pa. Martha It you don ' t bcHcve Martha is good naturcd just look at her picture. Can ' t you see her laughing with her eyes? Of course you can and we who were with her every day know that she is always jolly and full of fun. Martha is a commuter and usually rides in a Ford. I guess that is why she is so happy. If she feels bad when she leaves home, her troubles are for- gotten when she reaches here. Usually we see Martha and Peg Zettle together. They seem to be an inseparable pair, and always have the best of times. You can imagine. What will Martha do? Oh! yes, we know she is training for a teacher but not every one sticks to his profession. However, we know she will liave good discipline in her school-room as long as she teaches, for she is an orderly little person. Martha, we want to see you succeed. ELIZABETH HARTMAN Bloomsburg High School Bloomsburg, Pa. Betty Elizabeth is not under dorm rules and regulations for the simple reason that she is one of our town belles. Bloomsburg is her home. Dark. chic, attractive and most popu- lar with — there, we wouldn ' t tell tales out of school for the world. Beth is a faithful member of the Methodist choir. Her excellent voice entitles her to that place. Every Sun- day, rain or shine, will see her standing in her place beside Mrs. Ent. She is a good student as well as a good singer. Bloomsburg will be. mighty proud of her some day. . ' lways jolly, she is a .good pal and a wonderful friend. She will never be lacking in friends — of that we are sure. Concerts, lectures, and social func- tions alwavs find Elizabeth present. She is devotedly loyal to B. S. N. S. We know of one old-maid school teacher that will never be. Our hearty good wishes for every success go with you, Elizabeth, in whatever you under- take. Kislily Three 3 r = ARLINE HARTWIGSEN Ashley High School Ashley, Pa. Arliiu ' might apjicar quiet and sedate but if you knew Susie like 1 know Susie, ! Arline did kIvc us that impression when we first met her in our Senior year at B. S. N. S. but when we be- came better aeijuainted with her we found a girl whose pretty brown eyes twinkle not merely for decoration liut from an inherent love of pure mischief which would stay bottled up within her for just a certain time and then pop I the cork would blow off and someone would wonder why the cook put so much salt in the cocoa or what made the bed feel so lumpy. or why the bed clothes clung so tightly to each other — it really appeared that they were sewed together. She is a combination of many de- sirable things — sound intelligence, orig- inality, initiative, humor, and good- fellowshp. With such a repertoire of fine quali- ties we cannot but feel sure that she will be successful in teaching or in any other profession she may later choose. Heaps of luck to you, . ' rline. EVELYN HAUPT Tracksville High School Tracksville, Pa. Ed Kvelyn likes the proverb Little girls should be heard and not seen. She is (|uiet only when she is sleeping. She never lets her work worry her. Eating and dancing are what she likes to do most and best. She joined the Shortess Gang this year but we haven ' t found the reason why. She is a good sport, and puts life and pep into a crowd. If you become ill call on Evelyn, because she has great faith in Herbs. She has chosen to be a primary teacher, but we think she should have been an acrobat. She can very clever- ly stumble over rugs, pails, pins and almost anything. When we count the letters that come from Tracksville, we doubt very much whether she will be a school teacher very many years. We all wish you success and happi- ness in the future, F.velvn. r.islity Four Y L Zv R RUTH P. HAUPT Frackville High School Frackville, Pa. Ruthie Brown wavy hair, brown eyes alert, small trim figure and Ruthie stands out before you. Ruthie ' s favorite pastime is danc- ing and men — mostly men. She is al- ways ready and she may be counted upon to help others in trouble. As a teacher Ruthie is a success and her personality is such that every- one is attracted to her. Ruthie is usually calm and very self-possessed but when anyone crosses her — beware! On Sunday ' s Ruthie may be found in the hall entertainiuK a certain party — Ruthie and the certain party were honorary members of the Long Hall Gang — enufT! Ruthie has made many friends in the dorm and we are sure that she will make many more as she goes out in life. Although we doubt that she will teach long we wish her the best of luck throughout her whole life. MILDRED HAUSCH Wilkes-Barre High School Laketon, Pa. MU On a wonderful September day, Mil- dred started her Normal life. She tells us that she had been in Bloomsburg a few times: but we can bet with safety that she knows more about Blooms- burg now than before. It is a pretty good place: isn ' t it Milly? Just look who lives here. Mildred is one of our athletically in- clined girls. When basketball was mentioned she was all alert for we all know Mildred played forward and was quite capable of holding that position. And hockey — oh well — just ask Mildred about her adventures. N ' or does she take a back seat when it comes to the opposite sex. Let ' s not stop to count for we probably would run out of numbers. Mildred backs the saying The friend in need is a friend indeed. Those blue eyes of yours were not meant to be valueless and — maybe they don ' t count. Any way the class of 1926 wish you luck in whatever vou undertake. Ki lity Five Y L _ p ALETHA HEADMAN Lehman High School Dallas, Pa. Headman Alctlia lanic to us very nn-i-k and mild. She was so quiet no one knew that she was around. She spent her first few weeks in hard study. But now. did you say quiet? Well. I guess not! She is an all around good sport and is always ready to help everyone. Did Aletha like to get mail? Yes. if from (?). She has a peculiar weak- ness for the name Ed. That ' s all right. Aletha, stick to your old Pal. Eats attracted Aletha. Was she ever at a feed? Ask her roomie. Ke- Wad-In was a real lively place for feeds. Aletha took an active part in the Girls ' Glee Cluh and also showed her musical ahility in Patt ' s class. Were all her week-ends spent at Normal? I should say not. Just ask her ahout her Northumberland trips. We wonder why Aletha liked sum- mer school so well. Ask the rest of the gang. We sure wish you success, whether you teach or (?). LUCILLE HENRY Wilkcs-Barre High School Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Lucille The famous saying You cannot judge a book by its cover is true in the case of Lucille. Behind those hazel eyes lies a great deal of mischief. Al- ways smiling, a good sport, and a peach of a girl is our Lucille, and whenever eats arc to he served, she never leaves any of us out. Her awakening thought is — will I get any mail today? She is very sel- dom disappointed for she is one of the truest pals we know and we know that others think the same way about it. She doesn ' t speak .so very much of the opposite sex but we have no doubt that her contribution to the State Teachers ' Retirement Fund will be quite small. We would all like to meet the John we hear so much about. How about bringing him down, Lu- cille? However. Lucille is very studious. This along with her ever sunny dis- position will certainly result in her suc- cess and happiness. z: Eiglity Six 3 2v R V v LOUISE HIDLAY Bloomsburg High School Bloomsburg, Pa. So this is a Bloomsburg girl. Straight from downtown she is. You know appearances are deceiving. We thought we knew Louise in our Junior year, but we had to wait until our Senior year to discover Louise and her other self. Now Louise ' s hobby is athletics, and once the tennis courts arc in shape you can see her there any spare moment she ma ' have, and she usually wins too. Lite is too short to spend it at hard labor. is her motto, but in spite ot this she often gets absent-minded and studies her lesson. She is a fond lover of fun and enjoys dancing like the rest of us. We know Louise rather expects to teach, but expectations do not always come true, especially in the face of such circumstantial evidence. Never- theless. T-ouise. we wish you a whole ■world of success i n your teaching career. • MILDRED HIGGINS Wilkes-Barre High School Dallas, Pa. Milly When Milly first came to us as a Junior we all thought her to be very quiet and sedate, but now since we know her we think quite differently. .She is no longer the prim Miss Hig- gins. but a smiling, good-natured ' Milly ' . She is very much interested in her school subjects, but her greatest interest is centered in church activities. She loves to read The Little Minis- ter. We wonder why. She is always ready and willing to do anything she can to make every one happy, and whenever anyone wants anything done, they always rush to her, for she never says. If you want a thing done do it 5 ' ourself. We are very sure that Milly will make a splendid teacher, for those big blue eyes of hers look with loving in- terest upon all the children. Her aim is to go on to College in a tew years. AH right. Milly. best of luck to you in all your undertakings! We feel confi- dent of your success. Eighty Seven 2: X f E I — r I A FANNIE H. HILBERT Dorranceton High School Kingston, Pa. Pat Faiinic, most tominonly known as Pat, canu ' to lis from Kingston. Wc are very h m that Pat dccidod to come to R. S. N. S., for wc found that she was very sociahle and a friend to all. Whenever we see Pat we are sure to find her busy at some school work or other. She is cheery and gives everyone a smile when she meets them. She has made many friendships here by her pleasing personality and jo ' OUS spirit. VVe know Pat through her affiliations with the Y. W.. Dramatic Clnh. Glee Club and the Maroon and Gold. You should see how Pat ' s face brightens up when the mail comes in and you announce to her A letter from Boston. Her favorite pastime is writing letters to Boston, and we know she is especially fond of Boston Baked Beans, Boston Cream Pic. and many Boston products. We think Pat will get a Massa- chusetts State Diploma rather than a Pennsylvania one if the present plans work out. But here is the best of luck to you Pat, when you enter the teaching world. m MIRIAM HIPPENSTIEL Orangeville Vocational High School Orangeville, Pa. Hippy Hippy is one of the prettiest and liveliest girls in the Rural class. She is a member of the Group and is always ready with her share of work. Al- though she is studious, she is always ready for a good time. No one feels sad when she is around. She is a commuter and has made many friends on her travels as well as at Normal. Among them is a little Junior who carefully guards her com- ing and going train. Our Hippy is a lightweight cham- pion at Basketball. When she plays, the ball just seems to roll from her hands into the basket every time. Nat- urally she ' s a good one to have in a game. Along with these good qualities, we know, she ' ll make a good housekeeper for someone, as well as a teacher. We wish her success and happiness in whatever she undertakes. Eighty Eight z: ix R = MARY HOCHBERG Hazleton High School Hazleton, Pa. Mary Wee-Wee Here ' s another one of our Hazle- tonians and she ' s a good representative of our fine city. Jolly is no name for Mary — ask anyone on fourth floor an- nex. Mar} ' is an excellent entertainer too. Many of the girls come over to 454 to spend a pleasant hour listening to Mary tell their fortunes. .Accord- ing to the number of compliments she has received, we wonder that she hasn ' t hung out a shingle. Whenever you see Mary, she will greet you with a smile and when it came to talking. Mary was never miss- ing. Mary intends to teach intermediate grades but according to the mail she receives we wonder how far her good intentions will go. With her pleasant ways we know that Mary will be a success in all she undertakes. Here ' s to vour success, Mary! ALICE HOLCOMBE Dushore High School Dushore, Pa. Alice If you ' ve ever seen a tall, dark, ex- ceptionally cheerful girl with a dozen books under her arm, parading through the hall of the training school, you ' ll know you ' ve seen our Alice. Alice is a studious lassie, and with all her trials or troubles we never saw her lose her smile and her sweet disposition. Oh, no. Alice doesn ' t study all the time. She just loves to dance and whenever dancing is mentioned, she is right there. She surely is a whizz at it. Look the crowd over at the gym every night and if she isn ' t there, you ' ll know something is radically wrong. We all love our Alice, and although we feel sure she ' ll make the best school teacher in the world, we doubt wlicther she ' ll teach so very, very long. How about it, Alice? Here ' s good luck to you from your B. S. N. S. friends where ever you roam or whatever vou do. Eighty Nine - I V MARY H. HOOVER Duryea High School Duryea, Pa. Molly Molly looks like a sweet and quiet lassie and if you do not take her too seriously, she is. She is very quiet amonK strangers but when she is with her friends, it is quite a different story. Mary is the kind of a girl who doesn ' t study too hard, but yet always has her work done. Then when work is o ' er and it ' s time for play she ' s any- thing but quiet. Haven ' t you ever heard her characteristic giggle? If you haven ' t, you don ' t know her very well and if you have you will under- stand why her middle name isn ' t Silence. You would never think Mary would let men bother her in the least, would you? Yet looks are deceiving. After we have returned to old Normal after a pleasant vacation and we are discuss- ing the good times we ' ve had, our con- versation is never complete without Mary ' s Oh. boy, last Sunday night at this time. She never says much more but that ' s enuf to assure us she isn ' t a man hater. Best wishes for success from vour friends at B. S. N. S. ¥ EMILY HUTTON Bloomsburg High School Bloomsburg, Pa. Em Em is one of our very best ath- letes. She excels especially in tennis, having won several banana splits by her ability in that sport. She is also an excellent swimmer and skater and likes to play basketball. We have heard from close friends that Em is also good at arguing, that is. among friends. We have never heard Emily debating on a public platform. Some peoide that have either ridden with Emily or have seen her drive think she may compete soine day for the national championship. That may happen if she becomes more reckless than usual. But Emily is quite deter- mined and she will eventually win in the end. We have not told you yet of Emily ' s most treasured accomplish- ment. She can sing like a nightingale on a moonlight night, and if you doubt this, just ask any one who is in her music class. With all these talents Em is sure to succeed after leaving her Alma Mater. Ninety z: R= i BERYL IKELER OrangevUle Vocational High School Mt. Pleasant, Pa. Beryl Beryl started with us our first semes- ter alone, but became so lonely with- out her sister that she brought the sister with her and we enjoyed the companionship of both. Beryl seemed to be herself then. However we started the third semester without the sister although we have Beryl. You may think Beryl is quiet but just Rive her a chance and she can hold her own with any one. Who likes a joke better than Beryl and who finds keener enjoyment from playing a joke than Beryl? Beryl sure is a good entertainer and how many of the Rural Club wouldn ' t like to go over to Beryl ' s for a Sleigh Ride again? Good luck from the class of ' 26. MARGARET R. ISAACS Hazleton High School Hazleton, Pa. Peg Peg is one of our little girls with a big heart. If you want a favor done, go to her. and if there is any way in which she can help you, you can be sure of the help. Do you notice that smile on her photo? That is just one of her win- ning possessions. She is our Glee Club secretary and a member of the Alpha Delta Zeta Sorority. Peg is a won- derful sport and is always ready for anything that promises to be fun. She has chosen teaching as her pro- fession — and is said to be a shy maid but beware — those eyes were made to love and admire women alone. Keeping these qualities and many unnientioned ones in mind, we hope for and predict nothing less than an ideal future for our Peg. i ' — u Ninety One 1 R • ARTHUR JENKINS Newport Township High School Wanamie, Pa. Jinx WhLMi Jinx entered tliis institution he carved a t ' lKuri- worthy of much re- spect and admiration. IJis pcrsonahty won a place in the hearts of every stu- dent and he was elected president of the class in the Junior year. Soon we met him on the athletic field. During his three year stay his athletic ability broiipht him fame as he was a four sport man. During his second year his ability on the basket- ball court coupled with his manly ideals brought about his being elected captain of the team of ' 26. With Jin. as captain we put out one of the best teams ever entering a B. S. N. S. Court. At the beginning of the third year when we were selecting a President of the Senior Class we knew of no one any better than Jinx. Carrying this task on his manly shoulders, he made the name of the class of ' 26 ring out among the ages. He was also a member of the Male Octette. With all this work he still found time to loiter about the halls in the presence of some of the fairer sex. We know, Jinx, that when anyone goes out in life there is always a task awaiting him and we are certain that such obstacles you can very easily re- move. o GORDON JOHNS Coal Township High School Shamokin, Pa. Gordy His full name is Gordon Percy. We like Gordy, however, and that is all he gets besides Johns. Now Johns is a very nice fellow. You just can ' t help it. He is so frank and open — almost of an explosive like nature. And it doesn ' t make any difference whether he is playing football, chewing tobacco, waiting on tables, or talking to girls, he is the same Gordy, You can ' t change him. He makes himself at home and that ' s all there is to it. Johns was a candidate for football during his three years stay at Normal and bis worth was appreciated. He also goes in for baseball every spring. He has shown so much improvement in the latter sport that it is said he will easily make a position on the team this year (or on the long scat). Now this year he has come out for basket- ball and he is now classed among the three letter men. Perhaps you have an idea that Gordy is not studious? If so we can advance an argument strong in his fa- vor. When the multitudes were going after arm-chair electives in their sec- ond year, Gordy chose Biology for six hours a week and that is saying something. 2: Ninety Two 3 z R= 17 f1 s MILDRED JOHNSON Avoca High School Avoca, Pa. MUly Milly is one of those girls whose friendship we all wish to hold. Her loving disposition and kind heartedness are just a part of her very charming personality. She is an all around good sport and pal. Just one look at Milly and you can decide for yourself that she is full of pep and fun. Milly is always ready to have a good time and is a live wi ' re if there is anything going on. Behind those brown eyes there is an unending story of mischief which crops out about every so often. As for the opposite sex. she doesn ' t say much, but we often wondered why she wrote so many letters to Port- Griffith. She said she had an uncle living there, but never mind we prom- ised not to tell. But. Milly, we are still wondering why you stopped read- ing Quo Vadis. Perhaps you can answer that one for us. Milly has a great many friends which makes her a welcome guest no matter where she goes. May the best wishes from the class of ' 26 follow you Millv. JAMES JONES Dorranceton High School Kingston. Pa. Jimmie ■Jimniie is one of the bunch and is undoubtedly a leader. His pleasing personality and his winning ways have won many friends for him. He is one fellow who is ven,- frank and is not afraid to state his opinion. He has a wonderful memory and can recall oc- casions to very minute detail (remem- ber the B. D. C. meeting). His room acted as a Forum for the fellows of North Hall and after every athletic game a post mortem was held in his room. At the sessions many questions of vital importance were brought up. Ask him about them. Does Jimmie like girls? Why cer- tainly, but there is one in whom he is very much interested. We won ' t men- tion her name though. Jimmie. Jim- mie has a ven,- good choice of friends. You would find this out if you ever attended a session held in his room. During his stay at Normal he has proved to be very worthy of recogni- tion on the athletic field. He was man- ager of Baseball last year and his team only lost three games all season and won eight. He was also a member of our Track Team. Here ' s wishing you all the success in the world, Jimmie. Ninety Three m 2: Zv f t - 1 : LETHA M. JONES Noxen High School Noxen, Pa. Lee If you feci the sides of the dorm bulging in or the halls resounding after ten bells you know it is Letha ' s musical sneeze. Again she is the S. I. K. comedian and nightingale. Her fa- mous song is Let Me Call Vou Sweet- heart. WeVe not sure but we think Letha has mistaken her profession. We just know she will turn out to he a mani- curist as she is so handy in managing Emery (sticks). As an entertainer, Letha simply can ' t be beat. Ask any of her classmates or teachers and they certainly can give you some inside Ao]ie on our Lee. If anyone has the blues, the best cure is to spend awhile in Letha ' s room and presence. There is no question about Letha ' s success as a primary teacher. Lee ' s ability as a student and her sunny disposition w ' il! surely result in her happiness and success. Here ' s wishing the best of everything for your future. : WILLIAM B. JONES WUkes-Barre High School Laflin, Pa. BUly Here is one of our jolly fellows from K ' orth Hall and anyone not finding him in his room will hear his laugh around second floor. He has distinguished himself among his classmates and was chosen Presi- dent of the Rural Group. I ' nder his administration many things have been put across among which is the or- ganizing of a Circulatory Librarj- for Rural Schools. Yes! Billy was a charter member of the Hash Slingers L ' nion. His su- perb ability as a hash slinger was soon recognized by the Dietitian and he was promoted to the position as dish washer. Billy is also a violinist in the B. S. N. S. Orchestra, where he has greatly distinguished himself as a musician. He was also originator and leader of the B. D. C. Orchestra. He hopes some day to become a Music Super- visor. Surely, fortune will smile on such an ambitious young fellow and he will ac- complish his aim. The best wishes of the class of ' 26 go with you. Billy. 1 —1 Ninety Four 2 R X: JOE KANE St. Mary ' s High School Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Joe As an all around student and worker Joe started out with us as a Junior. He can discuss with marvelous fluidity of speech any subject which may come up (ask Gallagher). Joe has proved to be one who never shirks when work- is to be done but rather is always near with a helping hand. Joe makes a visit up into the heart of the anthracite region |uite frequent- ly. We wonder why? Surely you are not trying to settle the coal strike, are you Joe? Probably, a certain member of the fairer sex who was at this school last year could tell us why. Joe is quite an athlete, too. He has proven his worth on the football team last year when our team shined. His ability as a Baseball player was worthy of so much recognition that he was elected Captain of the team of ' 26. We know that Joe will go out and be a very successful teacher. The best wishes of the class go with you. Joe. ' 1 JOHN KANYUCK Nanticoke High School Nanticoke. Pa. Hook Here is a boy from Xanticoke and well did he uphold the name of Nanti- coke. Hook. as he is called, was a charter member of the Nanticoke Gang, which originated last year. Hook ' s complex was popularity, be- cause he would fit in anywhere. He could dance, sing, tell a funny story that was funny, and do a thousand and one things with his one hand that most of us could not do with two. He could even recite The Shooting of Dan Mc- Grue and many other poems so well that if the authors could hear him they would feel ashamed of taking the honor of writing them and would hand it over to Hook. On the dance floor he was an in- tricate stepper. He could do most any step that came along and wherever you •saw- him he was always trying a new- one. We arc certain that if he con- quers obstacles in life as well as he has conquered a new- dance step or a new trick, we will hear from him in a few- years. May the best wishes of the class of ' 26 go with you. Ninety Five V LUCILLE KAUFMAN Hazleton High School Hazleton, Pa. Lucille A bundle of wit. energy, smiles and lauffhs. Lucille is one of the best girls in the dormitory. She is always happy and her merry disposition is really con- tagious for she has the knack of mak- ing those about her feel the same way. She was an active Athletic Leader, also President of the Glee Club for two years, on the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet and a member of the Alpha Delta Zeta Sorqriti-. A glance at that list of ac- tivities will bear out our statement that she has done a lot for our class. She is always ready to do the task assigned to her and because she under- takes her work with a smile, she wins the esteem and help of her fellow workers. She possesses enough foresight and will power to be successful in whatever she may undertake. Thus we feci sure her choice in life will be a good one. Already she is directing her foot- steps along the right path. Nevertheless we are d oubtful wheth- er teaching will be her calling for there seems to be frequent letters froni ? We wish her all possible success in her life ' s work, nor do we feel that we all are wishing in vain. THEODORE KEEN Newport Township High School Glen Lyon, Pa. Dud Of course we all know Dud and we can not help l)ut like him. With his manly characteristics he has at- tained many heights since he entered this institution. He is a person who will succeed no matter what he under- takes in life. Full of determination — that ' s Dud. Dud has proven his worth to his .■ lnia Mater in many ways. He is a member of the Double Quartette and many times we have heard his deep bass voice. He has also uplifted the school through athletics. He has played football and baseball three years and his ability was greatly appreciated. Girls? Why sure Dud likes the opposite sex. Last year it was Isabel and this year it was ????? — ask him. he knows. Being attractive and having a wonderful personality were the assets through which he gained many friends. ' hcn you have chosen your life ' s profession, think back of the happy times you spent at B. S. X. S. and we are certain that you will have some in- spirations. Good-bv and good luck, Dud. Ninety Six f HELEN J. KEHLER Ashland High School Ashland, Pa. Heck Here is Heck, another member of the Cheery Eight and one of the best sports we know. She is loved by all and no one enjoys a good time bet- ter than she does. Every now and then Heck rushes into the room to tell something real thrilling to the gang but it takes her so long to reach the climax that every- one leaves the room by the time she has finished the story. Heck be- lieves that the longest way around the hush is the shortest way home. Heck seems to have a mania for things that come in sacks. We won- der why If you ever hear a fire whistle blowing during study hour, ask Heck. she knows. Vhen it comes to be good natured though. Our Heck can not be outdone. She is always ready to help someone. Best of luck, Heck and may you achieve your aims successsfully. SARA KEITER Millersburg High School Millersburg, Pa. Sara Sara, another one of the Shortess Gang, just came to us this year. How- ever, she has won many friends in this short time. She spends most of her time studying and lookin.g for letters. She says men arc the least of her troubles but we wonder why the attrac- tion at State College. Although Sara does not care to par- ticipate in Athletics she is always on the job at all games — even in the rain. Vou may think Sara is quiet but then you don ' t really know her. Ask a cer- tain Normal man. She has spent three years at Bloomsburg, during which time she was an earnest student in the study of campustry. We wonder why? There is no doubt but what she will make a very successful teacher for she has already proven her ability. Here ' s the wish of your classmates — success in your chosen profession. Ninety Seven Y 2 H I — r: = HELEN KELLAM Greene-Dreher Vocational School Sterling, Pa. Helen Ilfkn. one of our three year stu- dents, comes from the town which pos- sesses many Sterling qualities. At last Helen has told us ahout the products that come from that place. His name we dare not mention here, but then she can f;ive y ni tlie necessary infor- mation. She was one of our hockey stars and is looking forward to the basketi)all season. By this bit of information you can gather that she is athletically in- clined. You must not get the impres- sion that Helen is not socially a fa- vorite because she is a member of the Mu Phi Sigma. Helen shines in Edu- cation 631, where other lights are dim. As a teacher she seems to be per- forming her duties remarkably well. ' hen she will teach and how long she will teach are things which Old Father Time will have to decide for us. The class of ' 26 wish you the best of luck, and may happiness be ever yours. rii. ELIZABETH KELLER Orangeville High School Orangeville, Pa. Betty Betty is a small girl but a good student, and is one of our Locker Room Gang. She hails from the city of Orangeville and travels to and from school on the B. S. She is usually accompanied to and from the station by a friend who is in Group IIL She appears to be very much interested in her work and we know she will be a success when she leaves us. Betty has attained soine winning ways and a pleasing personality which have won for her many friends since she first entered this institution. She is an earnest worker and is never kn own to enter a classroom unpre- pared. She also drives an Overland car and she is a coinpetcnt driver. She is a great mechanic and is very handy in working about a machine. When we see Betty in her Overland she is an inspiration to hurry out and buy a ma- chine before they are all sold. Here ' s wishing you all the success in the world. Bettv. z: Ninety Ei ht ifl :::i y LJ i GENEVIEVE KELLEY St. Cecelia High School Exeter. Pa. Jen If it ' s a good . ' iport you are looking for, you have one right here. Judging from appearances, one would think she is a quiet, shy girl but she is far from that. Vou can not always judge a book by its cover, and looks certainly are deceiving at times. A sweet girl always ready for a good time and al- ways on the job is Genevieve. Teaching as yet is Genevieve ' s con- firmed vocation, and a more interesting and conscientious teacher than she would be hard to find. Besides this Jen has many avocations. She pos- sesses much talent in the line of music. She is a fine violinist and is a member of B. S. N. S. Symphony Orchestra. All of your classmates wish you luck and success as we know you are de- serving of both. MILDRED KELLY Montoursville High School Montoursville, Pa. Pudge I chatter, chatter as I go. Here is one bad failing and that ' s her weakness for pie. Oh me. Oh my. how she loves custard pic! We believe in this instance that Nature made a tragic mistake in fashioning her as a girl, for on the stage of life she would have made a much better Little Jack Horner. As a proctor. Pudge cannot be beat. It made no difference to this yomig lady how many hours she de- voted to this serious business; in fact. she oftcr substituted. .Mi. she was faithful — yea — more than faithful — (writing letters). She is a fine student of whom the class of ' 26 can be proud. Her abili- ties on the stage have been proven by her active part in the Dramatic Club. Her favorite pastimes are swimming and music (providing some one else docs the singing). Best of luck to you. Pudge. in whatever the future brings to you. LU 2 Ninety Nine IX : r : MARGARET KILLIAN West Pitts ton High School West Pittston, Pa. ••Peg Karly to l)cd. early to risi-. Makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. If you were to broach this maxim to Peg, I am sure she would heartily disagree with it. She seems healthy. wealthy and wise in spite of the fact that late retiring and rising are as es- sential to her well-being as hibernation is to a l)ear. Give Peg and the bear equal chances by sleeping, and we are sure she would beat the bear by sleep- ing all winter and summer, too. Now for a few of her numerous vir- tues. Loyalty, unselfishness, and hu- mor are only a few of these. How- ever, we must not omit that to be her friend we must be honored. As is often said — To know her was to love her. As proof to this statement, we may refer you to Delaware Avenue. West Pittston. Doubtless you will wonder why we say Delaware . ' Kvenue? It is there that her young uncle re- sides. Somehow or other these young uncles are quite numerous and well liked. As a send off we quote our teacher and friend commonly known as Pat. Teach only four years. Then do two things — specialize or get married. We leave it to you to decide which course Peg will follow. •O JOSIE KIMBLE Clerks Summit High School Clarks Green, Pa. Josie Still water runs deep and that ' s the case with our Josie. She doesn ' t talk much. l)ut w ' nen she does it really counts. She is one of our honor stu- dents and we arc proud of it. Because of her artistic ability her suite friends call her ' enus. She is a big help to the art students of our school for whenever they want to know anything they come to Josie. To her friends she is the best pal ever, and they ' ll never, never forget the good turns she has done them, flood natured! Did I hear you say it? Well. I guess. She is bright, studious and energetic. but for all that, she is a light sleeper and sometimes wakes up in someonc- clse ' s room about tnidnight. If anyone deserves success Josie really does, and we all join in wishing her the best of luck in her kindergarten work and everything she attempts. One Hundred z: :x R = THALIA KITCHEN Catawissa High School Catawissa, Pa. Dark, chic and popular is our Thalia — especially so with the male half of the world. Who is it we hear al)()ul so often? O. dear me. I mustn ' t tell; as it is a deep secret. Thalia is one of our commuters. She not only commutes to school but to all of our concerts, lectures, and social functions. She is completely a part and parcel of us. Although her name is Kitchen, she seems to be cut out for the school- room, but I wonder for how long. Perhaps it will be kitchenette instead of Kitchen. If we are to judge Catawissa by the people who hail from there, then our decision is made presto. We would say it couldn ' t help but be a most lovely place. Our good wishes go with you, Thalia, whether it be kitchen, kitchenette or schoolhouse. MARGARET A. KRAFT Hazleton High School Hazleton, Pa. Peggy Peggy looks to be a very quiet lass but. to those who know her. she is far from being iuiet. She is right there when the fun begins. Pegg) ' is a very conscientious and industrious .girl — always aiming to do her best work though it requires a .great deal of time. But. we find her taking an active part in the school ac- tivities too. Thanks to Peggy for our splendid Y. W. C. A. meetings. She has worked faithfully as a member of the Cabinet. Then. too. she is an active member of the Glee Club. There is no doubt that you will make a successful teacher. Pe.g.gy. lor your pleasing personality has won many friends for you. The class of 1926 wishes you the best of joy and happiness in whatever the future has in store for you. z: One Hundred One V J ANNA KRAUSER Nanticoke High School Nanticoke, Pa. Anna is - MARY KUCHTA Wilkes-Barre High School Harvey ' s Lake. Pa. . iiiia is a very conscientious, quiet, and modest little ffirl who came here in the fall of ' 24, liavinK been gradu- ated from the Nanticoke Hi h School. Her pleasing personality has won for her many friends here at school. To know her is to love her. Is she studious? Well. I should say she is. Her record here has proved it. Whenever you no into Anna ' s room, you will find her doing school work. You may always count on her having every lesson, for Anna wouldn ' t think of going to class otherwise. Even though she does not take an active part in social activities of the school, she is always interested in and hoping for the successful outcome of everyone. It is never too much trouble for Anna to help anyone out. She is always on the job. Wc know, Anna, you will be success- ful in your teaching and whatever fol- lows. But wherever you go and what- ever you do, do not forget your class- mates. A wonderful girl, a true friend, and a good sport is this Mary. She is a very studious girl, but with all her studiousncss, she always finds plenty of time for fun. She never minds how many tricks Milly and Ellen play on her either. Just ask them about the night they sewed her bed shut! Did the proctor try to (|uiet them? Yes. but Mary trys to make us believe that she doesn ' t like the boys, but she can ' t fool us. W ' hy does she ride all the way to fourth floor and then back to third in the evenings when a certain young man is running the elevator? And why does she always sit at Ellen ' s table instead of with her roomie? There ' s a certain young man at Ellen ' s; that ' s why. Mary has great musical ability and all the girls on third floor know by her melodious voice when she ' s com- ing. Her greatest aim is to be an efficient teacher, and even it she docs meet that millionaire she talks so much about, we feel confident of her success. Best of luck to vou. Marv. One Hundred Two Z x: U O. m h MARGARET E. LAMBERT Elysburg High School Elysburg, Pa. ••Peg The old adage says ••Still water runs deep She might be deep but her stillness cannot be vouched tor, al- though at first glance you might think she is very serious. One could write forever about ' •Peg and still have something to say. Her friendship is well worth cultivating and her interest in human kind centers itself in an ever willingness to help others. Peg s ap- parent unselfishness is not the only thing that is noticed by all the girls. Be happy yourself and make others happy is this lass ' s fine motto. Vou will always find her about when there is any fun to be had. If you don ' t sec • Peg. you can hear the merry tune she hums as she goes around the halls. For two years she has taken vocal lessons and has helped swell our Glee Club. The V. W. C. A. Cabinet was glad for her faithful assistance. An all around good sport is the term applied to this young lass by all who know her. for • ' Peg shows her spirit wherever and whenever she may be called upon to do so. The class of ' 26 wishes j ' ou an ideal future, with success in whatever you mav undertake. MARJORIE LAUBACH Berwick High School Berwick, Pa. From Berwick, comes Marjorie. one of the happy go lucky girls of our class. Marjorie ' s motto is . ' X good time first and then school. Her love of pleasure and pleasant smile has won for her many friends in B. S. N. S. Marjorie ' s greatest trouble is getting to school on time, but here again, she clings to the old adage of Better late than never. We know Marjorie is courageous. Do you want proof? Here it is: She rides on those terrifying Berwick trol- ley cars twice a day. Ve admire such courage. One of Marjorie ' s diversions is danc- ing. She loves to talk and is usually ready to relate the news of the dance the night before. We are sure Marjorie will make a charming school teacher: but of course we don ' t expect miracles so. of course, we can ' t expect her to teach long. No, of course not. we know you will be a queen of the hearth. One Hundred Three F :7y MARION LAUBACH Benton High School Berwick, Pa. Here ' s another of our jolly trolley tribe who appears reserved and quiet hut those who know her lind that she is really full of fun and ready lor a good joke. Marion ' s motto is Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow and don ' t do it then if you don ' t have to. nevertheless she always has her work prepared. A pleasing personality Marion has, and she is a fine friend and pal to all of us. Perhaps that is why she makes such a good teacher. But even if her teaching was so successful and she says teaching will be her profession, we are positive she will not teach more than ten years if Don has his say. Success be vours. Marion. RUTH B. LAUDE Ashley High School Albert, Pa. Ruthie Whistle, ' Ruthie. ' whistle. And you shall have a horse, I can ' t whistle, mother. Because I think it coarse. Whistle, ' Ruthie, ' whistle. And you shall have a man. Just found out I can. Now. whenever you hear a sweet lit- tle whistle, you can guess that Ruth is near. Now don ' t think that whistling is the only thing that this good-natured young lass can do for she is an am- bitious student, a great reader, an in- teresting conversationalist and has many other charming assets. Eating is one of her favorite pastimes and nearly all of the fourth floor girls have had a taste of her jelly bread. When Ruth decides to accomplish a task she is always successful. This will be of great value next year in disciplining naughty children and dis- posing of the too ardent suitors. May you keep your ever cheerful disposition in the ups and downs of life and success will be j ' ours. Go after it! One Hundred Four Y :x F u ISABEL LEE Gregg Township Vocational School Spring Mills, Pa. Belle Isy Although Belle was not here the first semester she was here in spirit. Why? She is a fine sport and a jolly good pal and always on the job for cats and fun. Her favorite sports are talking and watching the moon. That she has many friends has been proved by the many letters received by her when she is at home or at school. She was the bravest of the Shortcss gang, but ask her about the night she thought there was a man on the porch roof. Belle finds time for her work even though she does have good times. Vc feci confident that Belie will make a good primary teacher hut some- thing tells us that she will not teach all her life. Here ' s wishing you successs and happiness in whatever you undertake. MARY K. LEIBY Elysburg High School Elysburg, Pa. Mary Mary was a summer school student and has already tasted of the joys ' of a school teacher ' s life. Still she is not ready to give up the ship. If she does not re-enter the profession next fail, she will work on the side line as home adviser for a certain school teacher. She will surely be able to fill this position satisfactorily, as during the term she has received daily infor- mation on administering such aid. Just why her mother writes an ex- cuse for her to come home every two weeks is hard to understand. Perhaps mother (?) gets lonesome. Nevertheless, Mary manages to pre- pare her lessons between letter-writing periods. She is a modern Priscilla. loved most by those who know her Ijcst. We hope the future may hold nothing but happiness and success. z: Oru ' Huniired Kive 2 : : u - - i ANNA E. LENAHAN St. Joseph ' s High School Ashland, Pa.

We just love to hear her lall beeause her witty .sayings pour out ceaselessly. She is sure to create laughter when she en- tertains — and she does entertain at times. Have you heard her imitate a little kid? Well, she can to perfection. It was only through discovery on our part that we learned Bud can sing well. She is the modest possessor of a rich alto voice. Our Anna is t|uite an efficient bar- ber, too. Ves. sir! Barber Bud. Many a half dollar she helped tlie Cheery Ei.ght save — for eats. Anna took up primary work and we know that she will succeed in her teaching because she understands chil- dren. Proof? Her interpretations of cln ' ldrcn ' s chatter. With you, Bud. go the 1)est wishes of the Senior class. Ij- Y MARGARET LENAHAN Sugar Notch High School Sugar Notch, Pa. Peg Maggie Peg Lenahan! Who in B. S. X. S. docs not know this little student? Ever ready and willing to help others seem to be her chief aims in life. Good- natured and witty and mischievous — that ' s Peg. She ' s quite an athlete, too. Tennis, hockey, basketball — in fact all sports — claim a large percentage of her time. Peg is johnny-on-the-spot for a good time. The Suite can vouch for that. Our Peg portrays a studious na- ture, also. Her work is always up-to- date — and usually ahead of time. Vhen she works, she works with a will and manages to leave ample room for fun. When one of the crowd bewails No letter for me, Peg rushes to her res- cue at once. Big-hearted, she fixes up a letter by changing the date. Docs it satisfy? Vou bet it doe.s — it is a letter. We hear that fat men have a peculiar attraction for Peg ? We also no- tice that the mailman between New- Jersey and B. S. K. S. is being kept rather busy. We wonder why?????? ' Maggie. ' could you ate a buen Yes, I could ate a duzen of them to- day. Jack. Best wishes of the class of ' 26 are yours, Peg. One Huiiilrcd Six A r I I LOUISE F. LESSER Freeland High School Freeland, Pa. Charlie When you hear some one hoiler H ' ya! that ' s Charlie. Charlie is noted tor her good na- ture and humor, cause we Rirls know- that whenever she is around we are sure to laugh. Charlie ' s chief occu- pation is dancing. Whenever any one wanted her alter dinner they were sure to find her in the gymnasium trying some new steps. As to Charlie ' s athletic ability, well she excels, probably this e.xercise is the cause of Charlie ' s eternal hunger. For the only time when Charlie feels blue is when she finds that there is nothing more to eat. We wonder why Charlie is all ex- cited when Bill is mentioned. Now we don ' t mean bills to be paid but Good luck to you. Charlie, and may you always gain as many friends as you did at B. S. X. S. as the result of your winning personality. BENJAMIN LEWIS Nanticcke High School Nanticoke, Pa. Beagle Beagle came to us from Bucknell this summer and since his arrival, he has proven to be a very worthy fellow. He cuts quite a figure as a toastmaster and orator, and if you ever need him he is only too glad to accommodate you. By being such an accommodating fellow he is kept quite busy a large part of the time but amid all of his toil, he never slights his class work. Never does he enter a classroom unprepared. Benny says that his main desire in life is to some day have a Butler from whom he will never have to de- part. From the progress which he has made along this line since he entered B. S. N. S.. his desire will some day be fulfilled. The class of ' 2b wishes you all the success in the world. Benny, in order that your wish may be gratified. Beagle is the type of fellow who could change a morgue into a fit of laughter. When he is around every- one expect s a real lively time and we are never slighted. Benny will put life into any crowd. Here ' s hoping that your life success depends upon your manly characteris- tics because we are certain that they will prove as they have in the past to be verv worthv. Good luck. Bennv.

Her kind-heartedness has won her many friends, and she is always willinn to share her most precious possessions with others. Ruthie is the type of a |)ers()n who is always out for a ood time and she is always willing to contribute her share in making a good time. She i.s the type of a person who can study and really enjoy it. She spends most of her leisure moments in a good man- ner because she was never known to enter a classroom unprepared. Ruthie is a very good student and we know that she will make a good teacher if she does not get side-tracked before she starts in. Here ' s wishing you the best of luck and success in everything you undertake in the future. MARTHA M. LINGERTOT Blcomsburg High School Hunlock Creek, Pa. Martha Here is one of the most 1oval)Ie girls in our Senior class. Vcs, she is shy. but nevertheless, she is popular. Martha has won a wide circle of friends at school and in town. She is another student from Hanover Township. She was graduated from Bloomsburg High School and also from Bloomsburg State Normal school, ' 23. Martha was on the Editorial Staff of our first newspaper. Hill Top Xews and ' iews. When she finished her course here, she taught for a year in a rural school in her own home district. Xow. she has returned and joined our present Senior class. We all agree that we wish that she had been with us longer. Martha never lingers long over a task. She gets it done quickly and always does it right. If something is to be accomplished one needs only to ask Martha. She ' s ready and willing to help every time. Do you wonder that we hate to see her go? Some school will join a treasure. One lluniiroil Kiglit z: R ESTHER M. LLOYD Thompson High School Starruca. Pa. Esther Esther is one of those girls who had the courage to choose the three year course. She doesn ' t seem to mind it here at all. It hasn ' t been hard tor her to do the work, she is naturally conscientious and ambitious and those two qualities in one person surely will lead to success. In Esther ' s case it is so. at least, so far. Esther is so quiet that most of us do not really know her. She has one failing and that is giggling. She gig- gles with reason and without. She is always willing to help those who go to her and especially those classmates who frequently misunderstand the assign- ment. She is one of those girls who call themselves the Mu Phi Sigma. W ' c. your classmates, wish you much success and happiness, when you leave B. S. N. S.. wherever you may go and in whatever you may do. LOUNETA LORAH West Pittston High School West Pittston, Pa. Louneta Louneta should be called the infor- mation bureau for the girls ' dormitory because she is always sure to know all the girls and also where they live. This is also true, everyone knows Louneta. She is small in stature but she can show anyone how to be serious in school matters. She showed this ability by being in the front ranks of our Junior Honor Roll. We don ' t know how Loimeta became a man-hater, but we do know that she likes to talk to a few young men who happen to sit at her table. Louneta was one of the committee for Junior Customs. Some people might think the fact to be an honor but Louneta thinks it was some work — just ask her? .■ lthough Louneta is very studious she manages to get some spare time. This time is used in playing tricks upon the girls and she seems to be an expert at this. We are sure that Louneta will make a very successful teacher and with her go our best wishes. ZL One Hundred Nine i L u HANNAH LUTZ MiiBinville and Berwick High Schools Mifflinville, Pa. Hannah Hannah conies to us from that pretty little town of Mifflinville and one need only to get acquainted with her to feel that she is a fine representative. Resides being a faithful and indus- trious student. Hainiah has many other talents such as playing the piano, paint- ing china, doing all kinds of needle work and last of all being a good auto- mobile driver. We are sure that this young lady will make a success of school teaching and from the look in her honest brown eyes, she will be able to disci|)line her school by love and sympathy instead of the use of the birch rod which so many resort to. When Hannah passes beneath the arch of her Alma Mater, the school will lose a genuine student and the Alumni Association a valuable member. 1 r y EDITH M. LOWRY Carbondale High School Uniontown. Pa. Edith Another one of those quiet, demure and lovable girls. Edith docs not live in the Dormitory and most of her time was spent out of school. As for being studious — there is no ciucstion. She worked hard both her years here to a desired end — a school teacher, and we believe that she will be successful. Kdith. too, has a bit of ability in athletics. She was a very good hockey player and loved the out of doors. In basketball she is a star guard and no forward has a chance when she ' s working. Xow, not all her time is spent in studying. Some happy and pleasant times may be found in the lives of all: and in Edith ' s life there is no excep- tion, for she was always ready for a good time with her happy disposition. May the happiness of your years at Normal be the mainstay of your fu- ture vears. Edith. One Ton u J iJ J m k KATHERINE A. McHUGH Newport Township High School Glen Lyon, Pa. Kitty Mac She didn ' t miss a thing! Who? Why. Kitty. of course. Have a good time while you have the chance, seemed to be a go with her. We wonder it she always did? We cannot forget her as one of the jolly mcml)ers of that everlasting Newport Gang — a born member of that organization. She did her part when her N ' cwport Comrades assembled in one of their many rendezvous. If you can ' t see her. you can always hear her. Kitty is responsible for a good deal of commendation when it comes to Cheer-leading. Through her leading the cheers, our team ' s reputation was uplifted. She helped lead them to many a victory, and she didn ' t mind it a bit to stand in front of a body of students and make them do their part. At any game if Kitty was not there to lead the cheers, the school spirit was at a very low ebb. Then, too. we know that Kitty won herself a great many friends through her quick and pleasant service in the dining room. She couldn ' t see herself at the end of a line anywhere and as a result we saw her finished serving first. Who always got their ice cream first on Sundays? y ) MARGARET M. McLAUGHLIN Hazleton High School Hazleton, Pa. Peg Wit, wittier, wittiest. Yes. that ' s Peg, and she is one of the three sillies. Peg is known to be one of the best kidders the Normal possesses, and her policy is ' never check your baggage. We wonder why! Peg ' s chief occupation was walkin.g up and down the Main street at five o ' clock. Was she always on time? Well, I guess! Peg attended all the lectures at the auditorium so why wouldn ' t she be a good teacher? Her only regret is that she did not take the secretarial course, probably she could have been of some use in the sale of Gardners and Willys-Knights. Here ' s hoping that your career as a school teacher will not be too long, and always keep smiling at trouble. m n ANNA MADDEN Jenkins High School Pittston, Pa. Nancy Just one look at her and you will ag ree that she is a very fine girl. Full of tun. and a friend most sincere— that ' s Anna. Whenever a word is needed she always supplies it in a cheerful fashion. Is she not worth while? One of Nancy ' s favorite sports is walking down town at nights. We wonder why? However, do not think that she does not study. She is one of our best stu- dents, and as for teaching, we are sure that she will be successful with the kiddies. She has selected the Pri- mary group. We all hope that your happiness and most successful days are ahead of j ' Ou. Nancy. - rl v MARCELLA MAHER Nicholson High School Foster, Pa. Marcella Here is one of our hard working girls. She has not been with us long, as she has been taking work at summer school and teaching winters. How- ever. : ' .he has readily shown some fine qualities both as a classmate and pros- pective teacher. She has a personality that has won for her many friends and she is loved by all who know her as a true and faithful friend. She has always been a diligent, earnest student as well as a jolly companion. Success has always been hers in the past and we are sure she will have more as she strives onward to reach her goal. Marcella. we wish you the best of luck and success. We know it is not an idle wish for if anyone deserves success, that one is you. tu i: One Twelve 2 R 1 MARGARET MAHER Montrose High School Foster, Pa. Margaret Margaret is another nu-ml)or of our class who joined us in our Senior year. Wc are sorry that she didn ' t join us sooner because she is a good sport and a loyal friend. She is a student with al)ility and has been very successful in the work of the intermediate group, in which she has chosen to specialize. Her first work at Normal School was done at Mansfield but she later decided that Rloomsburg was the best place, so came down and joined our happy class at the beginning of our Senior year. Margaret is always ready for some fun. Whenever wc mention cats, she says, Sure, I ' ll come! ' She has won the love and friendship of everyone with whom she has come in contact with, and we all wish her the best of luck and success in her chosen profession. gi MARY P. MAHER Brooklyn High School Foster, Pa. Mary Mary is a prominent member of our lively crowd on Third Floor I- ' ront. When she arrives things begin to hap- pen. If you want to pack up your troubles, just visit Mary, who with her ever ready wit is a sure cure for your malady. Mary just loves to make you com- fortable. Some of the methods she employs is putting hard bread crumbs and pine needles in your bed. But do we mind that from Mary? Certainly not, for Mary is a good sport when she happens to be the victim. It is never too much trouble for her to help anyone. She even goes to the trouble of bringing the garbage can to your door. She has found pleasure in every- thing so far and we are sure she will find it in teaching. We know that with your many friends you will be an efficient teacher, Mary, and the class of ' 26 wishes suc- cess to 30U. z: One Thirteen 3 V U I m ELEANOR MAINWARING Plains High School Plains, Pa. El Eleanor joined our ranks at the end of the first semester last year and has |)roved herself a worthy addition to our class. She joined the Primary roup and attended the summer session of school at B. .S. N. S. that she might he ahle to graduate with us. . ' he al- ways has a cheery snn ' le for her friends and never lets work take the pleasure out of life. In fact, lier motto seems to he When joy and duty clash, let duty go to smash. Eleanor seems to he very fond of that little song which contains the fol- lowing line: Each roomie will help you, her brother to win. We leave you, dear reader, to guess the reason. Although we firmly believe, Eleanor, that some day you will depart from teaching to a lifelong profession, we wish you crowning success in what- ever work vou mav undertake. MABEL MAJOR ' Kingston Township High School Tunkhannock, Pa. Mabel Here is Mabel, one of our most in- dustrious girls. Did she ever enter a classroom unprepared? Well. I guess not! Mabel was a good sport, and liked good times hut her work came before her play. An active member in the Girls ' Glee Club was Mabel. Each day. we could also see her crossing the campus to Science Hall to practice her music lesson. Mabel was a most desirable friends who always extended a hand to help anyone in a sympathetic way. Her greatest hobby was sleep. Her Saturday night ' s last words were. To- morrow morning I ' m going to sleep. Was she ever awakened? Ask her roomie. We know Mabel will be a success in teaching as she has chosen the Pri- mary group and is very fond of it. She things teaching will be her life ' s work, but judging from the letters she gets from the Scm. she will not remain in the profession long. The class of ' 26 extends its best wishes and success in all your future years. 2: One Fourteen :: iy LAURA MANN Hazleton High School Hazleton, Pa. Did you ask who it was who was trilling so sweetly down the hall? Why it is our Laura. Some say that good goods come in small packages; it seems to be proved here. Laura may ho small but she flits from place to place always willing to do her bit. Most every organization claims her as a member. Laura seems to have a specialty tor Pauls. If she can ' t have the one we saw here on a few week-ends she may find another close at hand. As a teacher here Laura has made a great success and we all know that she will make an A teacher next year. So. to you. Laura, the class of 1926 wishes you the best of luck and happi- ness. Ve prophesy a short teaching career for vou. MARY G. MARTIN Jermyn High School Jermyn, Pa. Mary Here is another member of the Cheery Eight. A sweet personality, full of rascality — that ' s our Mary. This good-natured, winsome lass has made many friends since her first appearance at B. S. X. S. How? Through her contagious, wholesome laugh. We know. Mary, that when salting beds or wrecking rooms was to be staged, you were never far away, and your characteristic laugh followed, no matter what the outcome was. Our Mary had a privilege which very few of us could boast of. We never saw the halls quite so clean as the morning after Mary got through sweep- ing them?!? We know Mary ' s pet verb — it ' s eat — -especially if an Oh I Henry candy bar comes her way. Her industry in school work was, at times, appalling. She knows how to get along in classes as well as she knows how to dance. We know the kiddies will love her as a teacher. You have our best wishes, Mary. L One Kiflirii M 1 r MARGARET M.

I ' eg i.s very fond of sports, including basketball and tennis. And Oh! We mustn ' t leave dancing out as that is one of her favorites. Vou can see Peg and her roomie spinning around the (ixni every evening after dinner. Of all the teasers in the world, none could beat Peg. She delights in teas- ing people. She has a characteristic smile that would cheer you even on the gloomiest day. Happy, jolly and full of fun, that ' s our Peg. Really it would be hard to find a better sport or a more charming com- panion; but she isn ' t an angel by any means. Ambitious? Maybe so — but we can easily forgive that after knowing her. and we know she will make a perfect school teacher or??? No matter what it will be we wish her luck. ij ROSE MEDO Newport Township High School Glen Lyon, Pa. Rose Rose, in spite ot her smiling face, happens to be a very reticent young person. Her first great ambition in life was to become a nurse. After she was graduated from the nursing profession. Rose decided that greater opportunities lay in the teaching field. .So very suddenly she packed and cm- barked on her new experience, coming to our normal school, several weeks late but none the less determined to stay. Judging from the character of her good work at school and favorable stan(ling with her classmates. Rose is more than pleased with B. S. N. S. She is destined to become an excellent teacher and we sincerely hope that this profession will fill her life so com- pletely that she will find boundless joy in fulfilling its many duties and obliga- tions. We sincerely wish her much success in life. Olio Si ;tecn y :x f = np RUTH E. MEIXELL Nescopeck High School Wapwallopen, Pa. Ruthie Ruth came to us in the tall of 1924 alter Kraiiuatiiigr from high school. When first seeing her. we thought her quiet and shy but now we know she is possessed of much fun and jollity. She is always kind-hearted and help- ful to everyone. From the signs on her door. Studying — keep out. we have decided she is very conscientious about her work. Her favorite pastime is to get a book, curl up, and read. Last year she liked Gymnasium be- cause Miss Munroe let them play Jolly is the Miller. This year she does not play the game but has the Miller anyhow. We know Ruth will make a suc- cessful teacher but we wonder how long she will teach. Xo matter, Ruth, good luck. LENA MELICK ' Bloomsburg High School Bloomsburg. Pa. Lena Lena is one of our comniutors and also one of the locker room bunch. She is one of the charming girls of our class and always has a smile ready for her classmates. Should you feel blue, go to Lena; she will chase the gloom away and bring a grin to your face. We all think a great deal of her, but we are sure someone else thinks more. How about it, Lena? One of Lena ' s chief enjoyments is reading or reciting poetry. Some day. you may hear of a great elocutionist coming to your town, and it may be none other than our old classmate. We believe Lena will be a very capable teacher- — one whom the school will be proud of having produced. You have the best wishes of the class, Lena. One Seventeen 2i. 3 Q PAULINE S. MENSCH Miffiinburg High School MifRinburg, Pa. Pauly ' o l all Uiunv the sayiiiK Good things conic in small packages and this certainly proves true in Pauly ' s case. Pauly has been with us only one year hut in that short period of time she has formed a circle of friends. To look at her you would think that she was a quiet lass but when you really know her you are forced to chauKe your opinion. Whenever there is any fun or mischief going on on Fourth Floor you can find Pauline as the leader of it. Pauline has proved to he a very suc- cessful teacher in her work here and we are sure that she will he successful in her work next year. We can not tell how long she will carry on this profession. Whenever we hear the term Efficient Teacher we sliall re- member our Pauline. Here ' s wishing you the best of hick, Pauline, in whatever you may under- take. f M LOIS M. MERRILL Northumberland High School Northumberland. Pa. Louchee So. this is Lois. One of our very quiet and meek little girls who says not much but smiles a great deal. Lois is right there when it comes to fun and jokes but never forgets her studies. Her favorite sport is going home over the week-end to visit parties in the country. We wonder why? There must be some attraction! Lois is always telling us how much she loves to sing and study music. Her greatest ambition is to become a school teacher, whether she will fol- low this profession or not. is doubted by all her close friends. We know that you will succeed. Lois, and you have our best wishes for a bright and prosperous future. One Eighteen A ZL F JENNIE MEYERS Allenwood High School Allenwood, Pa. Jen Quiet but preserving is Jen, one of our third floor girls. She believes in the maxim. Never put ofT until to- morrow what you can do today. She studies hard and is always ready to do a little more than is asked of her. Jennie returned to us the second semester of our Senior year to finish her teaching course. She has taught in Clearfield County for a few years and she was very successful in the pro- fession. She is a good sport when it comes to hiking and parties. Success has been hers in the past and we are sure that she will have more as she strives on in the future toward her goal. Vc wish her the best of luck and happi- ness in her chosen profession. ty ANNA MILLER Mifflinville High School Mifflinville, Pa. Anna Anna is one of the Mifflinville gang. Her broad smile and happy- go-lucky appearance are her chief char- acteristics. Now Anna really doesn ' t want to teach. She has her whole heart set upon nursing but. unlucky for Anna, she is afraid of dead people, and she certainly makes up for it with those who are alive. I wonder how long Anna will teach for when it comes to cooking and bak- ing, she is right there with the new tasty dishes even though she always includes celery. Just how docs she do it and what does it mean? Well, if she doesn ' t follow up her profession, we know she could till up her idle moments by sewing, too. If you had seen her art dolls you would realize that this young lady possesses artistic ability. Anna is an all-round good sport and her cheery laugh may be heard any time. The class of ' 26 wishes you mucli success in the future, Anna. 1 3 2 B BEATRICE MILLER Bloomsburg High School Bloomsburg, Pa. Beatty Lundi Do you see that slim l)ro vn-eyed girl over there? That is Beatrice Miller, the jihilosopher of B. S. N. S. Locker Room girls. Beatty can discuss any topic by just asking What ' s the User and she gets a liberal education. How- ever, she is really a good student, popu- lar, generous and cheerful. She is also very witty. Beatrice graduated from Bloomsburg High . ' school in 1923 but it was not until 1924 that she decided to enter B. S. N. S. It is a puzzle to most of us which Beatty will be — a teacher or a house- wife. She is wearing a beautiful dia- mond and is intensely interested in State College. It is said that one and one make two — draw your own con- clusion. Beatrice, you have our good wishes for success in all your future under- takings. V - DORETTA MILLER Berwick High School Berwick. Pa. Doretta Our first impression of Doretta is that she is a quiet girl, but knowing her has proven her to be quite different. Doretta loves to have a good time, and you may always count on her to be present if any mischief is at hand. Her one failing is always to be late to classes. Do not misunderstand me though; she is a conscientious student. Speaking of talent — Doretta excels as a pianist. Another of her fond pastimes is reading poetry or translat- ing Latin or French into English. As a teacher we feel sure you will be successful. One Twenty z: j R EVA MOORE Danville High School Danville, Pa. Eva Eva is one of our day students from Danville. We first thought that Eva would he very hard to get acquainted with but after a few days of com- I)anionshii) we learn ed that she was a tine girl. She has those sad, tearful eyes, which gives her face such a wist- ful e.xpression. but. you know they say. Looks are deceiving. and in this case it is true. Readers, take heed, beware of those eyes, for you can never tell what is be- hind them. Once in awhile she ex- presses her thoughts such as, Would one of you like to go with me to Buck- ale w s to look at some shoes? Eva, did you really desire to see them alone? Eva. we wish you luck in anything vou undertake. 6 ALICE M. MORGAN Kingston High School Kingston, Pa. Al Al has a wonderful vocabulary and always expresses herself exceedingU- well. At a glance she appears to l)c quiet and studious, but knowing her changes this idea for she really is jolly and full of fun. She alarms us occasionally with sonic startling remark — jocular or otherwise — and when she is in this mood people around sit up and take notice, as her jokes always go over big and are the funniest and most unique. We wonder why she is aKvays so anxious to get home for week-ends. We feel sure there is more attractive things than eats. We are inclined to envy Al in her choice of M-A-L-E because while we sit around waiting for letters to come he says it over the telephone. We all know A does not intend to follow the teaching profession but in whatever she may undertake we wish her success and happiness. One Twenty One JV vX. b U I ANNE R. MORGAN Edwardsville High School Edwardsville, Pa. Anne Was tlu-ri ' ever a pal like your Was there ever a gal so truer 1 am sure that everyone who knows Anne would answer these questions in the nega- tive — because she surely is a wonderful gal and a true pal. Like the rest of u.s, Anne is always ready for fun. She never wants to miss a wise crack and ofTers some good ones in return. But, along with fun, she is also — like the rest of us — very studious. If she isn ' t playing Hearts or Solitaire. she ' s writing lesson plans!! Anne never talks about her boy friends, so she keeps us guessing as to whether or not they interest her. We know she has many, for her sunny dis- position will always win her friends. We feel sure that Anne will make an exceptionally good teacher. She ' s taking up primary work and all the children love her. Why shouldn ' t they? She is always full of pep and keeps them interested. Our best wishes go with you. . nne. CHARLOTTE MORGAN Edwardsville High School Edwardsville, Pa. Charlotte Nobody ever saw her cry. Nobody ever heard her sigh. That ' s why we like her so. Wherever Charlotte is, there laughter reigns supreme, she seems to be quite hi — larry-ous. She is good-natured, a good sport, an interesting conversa- tionalist, especially where Jimmy is concerned. When she was president of the student government, often we heard her clarion call echoing through the hall, Girls, we must have quiet, She has a cheery hello and smile for every- one. When work is mentioned, Char- lotte becomes suddenly serious — but then, why worry about work when there is intuition. Our Charlotte made a very good record teaching and seems pointed for a success there. Here ' s luck to vou. Charlotte. One Twenty Two 3 2v h X u 1 LLl ni GILBERT MORGANS Old Forge High School Old Forge, Pa. Sonny Sonny hails from that well known town of Old Forge. Being small in stature when he entered this institution, he received the name of Sonny. But B. S. N. S. must have agreed with him because during his two year stay at the Normal School he has grown both physically and mentally. When he entered this institution he said that he was a woman hater, but like many other great men he weak- ened and was con |uered. He turned out to be one of the Romeos who never misses an after dinner dance. Perhaps there is a reason. He always said he was interested in the situation of Loomis Park. Sonny was one who was always prepared in all of his work. And when it came to real study he could show up many of the students. He was the type of a person whom we could easily like because his disposition was one that always left him satisfied. The best wishes of the class of ' 26 go with you in all your undertakings, Sonny. MARGARET MORGAN Edwardsville High School Edwardsville, Pa. Peggy Wherever there is something stirring going on. you will be sure to find Peggy — for instance she ' d never even dream of missing a basketball game when the Normal team plays at home. Petite and peppy, she sweeps every- thing before her. She amuses us some- times by her extreme excite-ability but when i t comes to original ideas, she is always right there. She gets her studies done in the same business-like manner that she does everything else, for she is a great believer in system. Pegg - is always ready to help out in any way and is a friend worth hav- ing. With her go the best wishes of her class. m in One Twenty Three EMILIE MORRETT Luzerne High School Luzerne, Pa. Tommy Tlic man of the crowd in our crowd is our Tommy. At least she seems so to the S. L K. Don ' t ask us how- she ever came to he called Tonuny hut the name fits at any rate. Hot Dog should he Tommy ' s middle name. She as well as the rest of us seems to thrive on them. Our clean-up supervisors is always ready to join the ranks of the eat- ups. She is there when it comes to feeds, parties, and all-around good limes. Tommy is a good student too, and we are ure she will make an excellent teacher, hut for how long? We have our douhts and fears. If you hear the hanjo-uke strumming in Room M)0 you ' ll know it is Tommy practicing I ' kelele Lady, If I Were a Student in Cadiz, or Sole Mio. The hest of luck go with you, Tommv, in all of your future life. • . -, EDITH M. MORRIS Newport High School Wanamie, Pa. Edith Since Edith first entered Normal School she has been very active and one of the leaders of the school. Dur- ing her Junior year we heard from her occasionally hut when she became a Senior we heard from her more often. As an athletic leader. Edith is good, but as a Y. W. president she is still better. L ' nder her leadership the Y has done big things and accomplished a whole lot. I- ' dith is full of lite and pep and can even ride horseback when the groom goes along. Ask her why she always laughs when anyone says. Girls, can ' t you speak? There is a certain someone that Edith seems particularly interested in; his first name is Jack. Do we need to mention the rest? We cannot say how long Edith will teach but we wish her the best of luck, nevertheless. yz: One Twenty Four 3 2b.

She i.s carefree. happy-KO-lucky, refusing to worry until the last minute. Her charnu ' uK personality has won her many friendships. Kay has taken Primary work and we all know that she will make a good Primary Teacher because she likes the kiddies. As for taking juirt in school activi- ties — Kay is riglit there on the job. As president of the Alpha Deha she is one of our peppiest sisters and the Y cabinet would not be complete without her, for she has proved to l)c a most relialile treasurer. This little lass does not believe in all work and no play. After the work is finished there are few jollier girls than she. Kay will always be remembered as one of our sweetest girls, and we hope she will always be considered such. It is certain she will have a most success- ful life as a school teacher until . Here ' s to your success and happiness, ••Kav, (O CATHERINE MURPHY Middletown, Pa. Montrose High School Murphy Here is Catherine, a good girl with a very pleasing personality. She has won many friends by her sweet smile and gentle ways. This year she joined the clas of ' 26, which would not be com- plete without her. She is a very industrious student and we always find her preparing lesson plans. Catherine has proven herself a .great success in her practice teaching at Normal. We know she will be just as successful in her future teaching and hope it doesn ' t end too soon. Catherine doesn ' t believe in All work and no play. The pleasant cry of Come, kids, I got a box, indicates that everyone is welcome to share a treat with her. Whenever Catherine attempts to do a thing, she works until she accom- plishes her task. In whatever field you choose, our best wishes for good luck and success go with you, Catherine. One Twenty Five z: 2 u 19 F AGNES L. MYLES Edwardsville High School Edwardsville, Pa. Agnes Quii-t and demure? — in appearance, yes — But both wit and mischief lurk l)ehind those gray eyes. Loval)le and obliKing, she is everybody ' s friend and is particularly loved by the kiddies in The Training School. Agnes is very fond of everything per- taining to music — piano players, lor in- stance, and there is real meaning be- hind her favorite exclamation, Oh. for the love of John! She is a very clever artist — in fact she designs most of the note book covers and posters of Fourth Floor Annex. She is very conscientious and indus- trious when we allow her to be. al- though she contributes her share of fun and noise to any gathering. This young lady is as it were castle crazy — here ' s hoping she gets one some day. Who remembers the time Agnes for- got to go to her birthday party? How- ever, that was the first and only time she was not the first to any feed. We are sure that Agnes will make good in her profession and we all wish for her the success and happiness she deserves. THELMA NAYLOR Old Forge High School Kingston, Pa. Thelma Here is another one of our quiet girls — that is she appears to be. We understand, however, that she can al- ways find something to talk about after ten o ' clock at night. Thelma believes she gets her beauty sleep in the morning for she never gets up before the class bell rings. We heard she has taken lessons from fire- men concerning the proper methods to don clothes in a hurry. Her favorite topic for discussion is Charlie and her favorite expression is Applesauce. We wonder why she dines at Rinkers every Friday evening? ormal School has given Thelma two inseparable pals, Helen and Betty. The best of luck and success to you is the wish of vour classmates. z: One Twenty Six N h : OJ DOROTHY ELEANOR NEWMAN Danville High School Danville. Pa. Dotty The second .semester of our Junior year ushered into our midst a sweet black-haired lassie. Smiling and .i?ay. always ready with a cheery hcUo ' and a helping hand, she soon won our hearts. Dotty. joined the beloved, merry .gang of renowned back hall fame. Whenever anyone was lonesome or bhie. she immediately went to back hall for cheering. Dorothy fitted into her niche and .soon helped keep the merry ball of joy rolling. Dorothy is not only a good sport, but also a good scholar. This young ladv has her serious studious moods — and woe unto the person who disturbs her study in.g! Dotty ' s joy is art. She can sit. patiently for hours in order to make a detail to suit her taste. She has made many clever designs. We are certain that Dotty is going to make an excellent teacher. We wish her luck in her profession. However, not for a long time, because Dotty ' admits that she likes to cook. As a parting word we wish to say Good luck and best success. Do not forget vour old B. S. X. S. friends. MARGARET T. O ' BRIEN Saint Mary ' s High School Miners Mills, Pa. Margie The old saying. Vou cannot judge a book by its cover, is true in connection with our little Margaret. Behind her big brown eyes, there lurks a great deal of mischief. Modest, shy, and the best and truest friend anyone could have, is our Margie. Wherever there are eats to be served, Margaret alway.s manages to have a little corner of the table re- served for her own little spread — con- sisting of coffee, crackers, ketchup, gin- ger cookies, etc. Although she is always ready to en- joy a good time, Margie has never been known during her two years at Bloomsbur.g to have let a single lesson .go undone. She is a very conscientious worker: our Margaret is the kind of student of which any school might rightfully feel proud. We all hope and we feel sure that you will win success and happiness wherever you may go, and whatever you may do, Margaret. due Twenty Seven K- E r F HELEN ODELL Falls.

We know that Helen has inherited artistic ability. She was always one of the best students in our art classes. Her clever paintings in the group proj- ect note-books testifies to this. One of her hobbies was tramping through the woods to find something she had never seen before. Her peculiar and characteristic smile suggested a vein of mischief — hidden until her lesson plans were finished. We wonder why she was so interested in learning to play Home. Sweet Home on the uke? Helen is so versatile in all her work that we are sure that she will succeed in all her undertakings. CORA OHL Bloomsburg High School Bloomsburg, Pa. Bud Bud is one of our brown-eyed bobbed hair lasses. She is one of our jolly students and always ready to do her share of fun. One ' s first impression of ••Bud ' i that she is (juict, but that droll little mouth always assures the ••locker roonV of loads of fun. They say her hobby is ••Tardiness. but then, everybody likes to get the mail before leaving home. That ' s all right, she is an earnest worker and al- ways succeeds at whatever task she may perform.

' YZL One Twenty Eiirlit •v 1 — R ELIZABETH THELMA OHLMAN Wilkes-Barre High School Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Betty Here ' s a fjirl who is ovi-rflowing with sunshine. Ju.st one look at her . inile is a cure for melancholy. And that many people seek this sort of cure is proved by the quantity of friends Betty possesses at Old Bloom. Her room on fourth floor is a popular place. To tell you the truth, Betty, her- self hates to leave it, especially in the morning. It is rumored that Betty is one of the two hundred and fifty who are ruining health by going breakfast- less rather than lose the morning dose. The pace has evidently had no effect upon Betty, judging by her bright eyes and pink cheeks. Betty is trying hard to practice our last year ' s course in penmanship by writing those daily letters to Syra- cuse. Her favorite song should be Charley, My Boy. We envy Betty ' s future pupils, and feel sure that she has found her sphere in Primary work. Her cheery influence will long be remembered by her classmates. CATHARINE OLMSTEAD Northumberland High School Northumberland, Pa. Kay Although Kay has been with us only one year, she has won a place in our hearts. Her pleasing personality and unfailing good humor have made her everyone ' s friend. She is always ready for a good time. It is usuallx up to Kay to start the fun. Kay is very studious. She always manages to get her work done. If you ever want any help don ' t be afraid to ask her. Every day Kay gets a letter from Sunbury. She goes home quite fre- (|ucntly. too. We wonder what this is all about? Did someone say swim? Kay seems to take more interest in this sport than anything else, although she is also an active member of our Glee Club. We know that Kay has all the best qualities for teaching ' , but we would not feel safe in prophesying that she will teach for a very long time. However, Kay. we wish you the best of luck both in teaching and?? One Twenty Nino Vjl 2 : u b JOHN OPIARY ' Foster Township High School Upper Lehigh, Pa. Tip Third floor. i)lcasc. This is the cry which Tip has heard all summer long while working as elevator boy. This year is sul)stitutc on the elevator and it is due this work of his that ho has gained the reputation ot being a full fledged shiek. It was at this work that he ntet mostly all of the girls at the school. John is one of the faithful members of the Rural Group and he hopes to become a good teacher in that field. He is a very industrious lad and can always be found in his room studying for some one of his classes. Tip is no exception to the rule and during his stay at this school he has had one weakness. Many times he cou ' d be seen out on the campus with a girl friend. He was always in favor of queens, especially the Queen of Sheba. Still, this is a weakness which all men possess and we should give him due consideration for his choice of friends. Here ' s hoping you as much success in your teaching profession as you had during the two years stay at N ' ormal School. Best wishes of our class go with you, Tip. ELLA M. OTTEN Tunkhannock High School Mehoopany, Pa. Ella- Ella came to us in our Senior year. but it does not mean that she was a perfect stranger at B. S. N. S.. for she had spent a summer here and then learned the customs and acquired the peculiarities characteristic of our school. She has also had three years of teach- ing experience, thus it is to her we come when we get stuck with hard problems. She seems to know just how to get us out of difficulties. She is very much interested in school work and her marks prove this. But with all her work and care of others, Ella is always ready and willing for a good time. To prove this just invite her to one of your midnight feeds. She also loves to get letters, especially from Tunkhannock — Oh. no, they are not from Mother and Dad lor they live at Mehoopany. Never mind, though, we don ' t blame her a bit for wanting to receive them. It has been a pleasure to have you with us this year. Ella, and we all feel that you will be as successful in the future as you have been in the past. One Thirty n 2: DOROTHY PARTRIDGE Trevorton High School Trevorton, Pa.

Dot is always ready for a good time, and is a live wire if there is any- thing going on. Behind those bright eyes there is an unending story of mis- chief which crops out about every so often. Her favorite expressions are Bring on the eats. or Pass the Gooey. We wonder why Dot is always singing Bobby. My Boy. instead of Charley, My Boy. ' Why does she show such a great interest in State College aflfairs? Wishing you the l)est of luck and the abilitv to sav Yes. MARGARET PATRICK West Phila. High School for Girls Millersburg, Pa. Peg- Here ' s another charming young lady who makes us sit up at night, to keep up with her report card. During her Junior year she was on the Honor Roll and she has shown her superiority in her practice teaching. But study does not occupy all of Peg ' s life. Docs she know how to have a good time? Ask her about itl!! Peg is some dancer, and you can always find her where there is dancing. Oh! that reminds us of the night in the g ' m when our l)elief in her sweet temper was slightly changed by lier sudden and furious attack upon the Army. ever mind. Peg. even the best of us show some faults at times. Whenever talking about autos. Peg ' s face brightens and she is sure to men- tion a little green car. We wonder why! Perhaps Peg is one of the girls who is attending one institution. while her heart is at another. But Peg ' s friends aren ' t all hoy friends, for her pleasing personality and her willingness to help others have won the hearts of the girls in the dorm. You have proven yourself a good student and a true friend, Peg. and when you leave us may you push on to that success which no graduate of B. S, N. S, has ever failed to win. Wl One Thirty One K z t E I — r- = CLARA F. PEFFER Dorranceton High School Kingston, Pa. Peffer Clara didn ' t join us until this last year when she entered the Senior class in the Junior High group, but her stay with us. short as it has been, has shown us what a wonderful girl she is. Peppy, attractive, an ideal dancer, and an all round good sport — all of these qualities make her a most in- teresting person. Of course. Clara likes to study — espe- cially when there ' s a College Humor lying around unattached — but never- theless she manages to keep ahead of the rest. Aside from studying the required school subjects, Clara is quite keen on poetry. Now who can tell us why? I wonder. P ' raps she will go to Mont Alto through June after she graduates from Normal. No douln Clara will teach— at least for two years — so we all join in wish- ing you the best of luck and a success- ful career. ' U y MARY G. PENMAN Wilkes-Barre High School Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Mary When play and duty clash Let duty go to smash. That just suits Mary. Here she is full of lite and pep. A good post and a wonderful pal is our Mary. If you should happen to be in the dormitory and hear a lively tune com- ing from fourth floor annex, you can make up your mind that it is Mary. She is a member of the Dramatic Club and a whiz in art. In spite of the fact that our happy-go-lucky class- mate always finds good times, she sometimes takes a pile of books home. But we have never been able to dis- cover whether she peruses them or not. Here ' s wishing you the most and best o ' luck, happiness and success — school teaching or no. One Thirty Two [2: ix G r : MARGARET PHILLIPS Newport Township High School Wanamie, Pa. ••Peg Peg ! Yes, we all know the name. A good sport and a real friend is our Peg. She strikes one as being of a quiet type but. when with the gang she surely does her part. Although she does not play the uke she helps to supply a good deal of the music that accompanies it. which we so very often hear floating around second floor. We enjoy it, Peg. Keep it up. Her favorite pastime is reading, sleeping and eating. If you ever want something to eat, go to Peg ' s room. MY! those delicious chocolates. Where do they all come from? Those black, snappy eyes tell the tale. Margaret has chosen the Interme- diate work as her field of activity and her famous saying is Are you going to play the baseball game tomorrow? We know she will make good, but we wish, to this Newportarian. heaps o ' luck, success, and happiness. ;i « VIVIAN C. PITT Hazle Tow nship High School Lattimer Mines, Pa. Viv ' ivian ' s personality is her chief at- traction. It seems nothing can effect her general disposition. She is always willing to help her fellow students and does each deed of kindness with so light a heart, and with such willingness that she has won the hearts of all who know her. X ' ivian is ever ready to have a good time but her studies are never neglected. Because the ambitious are always great, we expect great things from ivian, because we know her to be capable of performing great things. We have often heard N ' ivian say Monotony is unnecessary. and she sure lived up to that. She lived down town the first year and kept things humming and as soon as she reached the dorm she thought out the fifty- seven varieties of arranging a dorm room. Only great minds could be able to work wonders with a four by eight. You will be a clever house- keeper but don ' t leave the professional ranks for anv mere man. ' One Thirty Three z : u RUBY PLOTKIN Hazleton High School Hazleton. Pa. Ru Bowarc! oh men. for here is one heart iiivinciblf to charms! Invincible perhaps to make charms hut as to female — there is yet to be founti a heart that can love more truly than this one. Once your friend — al- ways your friend. Her specialty lies in curing lovers ' quarrels. She is A-1 at sanctioning let- ters to be sent to anyone at any time. She is a girl to whom one can trust her most precious secrets and know that her confidence will be respected. Ruby shows promise of being a splendid teacher. However, we know she will not always teach school for there are other things in life. Xow don ' t get e.xcited. She intends to spe- cialize. If, at some time, you hear of a Miss Plotkin at the head of the B. S. X. S. Training School, it will be none other than our classmate making her mark in the world. Good-by — good luck — God bless you, is the wish of your pals. In years to come, when memories haunt, think of the Normal gals. SOPHIA A. PODSIADLIK Hanover Township High School Warrior Run, Pa. Soph Podsiadlik! What a difficult matter it was for everyone to pronounce that name — -for both teachers and pupils. But that wasn ' t so about her char- acter. This was definitely proven when she was enlisted into the New- port Gang this year. She is quiet but only in its place. She sure helped to provide entertainment for the crowd. When it came to feeds Sophia was seldom lacking if it was for nothing else but that cup of coffee. even though she had plans galore to write. Talk about a real athletic girl! In basketball she made a first hand guard. A tennis racket is her best friend. She can outshine most of our good athletes in this respect. Hanover Township certainly had her inspired in these sports and she continued to show us what she knew in . thletics when she came to B. S. N. S. Judging from her remarks concern- ing practice teaching, we know Sophia will be a good teacher. Don ' t disap- point us, Sophia. One Thirty Four YZL 2 R x: F u GERTRUDE M. POWELL Fairview High School Mountain Top, Pa. Powell Oiu- loulcl not fail to recognize i ' owi ' H with her blue eyes, rosy cheeks and that pleasing personality. Gertrude is a true friend, and a won- derful roommate. Last year we all thought Gertrude was safe and hidden from the darts of Cupid, hut she has disappointed us. I ' owcll is an all round good sport and nothing is ever too nnich trouble for her if she can be of service to any- one. Whenever there is anything like cats or a feed you can make sure Powell will he there. Success and happiness in whatever you do, Gertrude, whether it lie teach- ing or otherwise. ELGIE V. PRUTZMAN Luzerne High School Luzerne, Pa. Lg Elg Everyone knows Elgie by her smile. Ever since she first came to us she has been an active member of the Y. W. Through her experience as secretary, she. no doubt, will become a great help to the young gentleman she refers to so often as Billie. We also know her as a member of the cast of Pomander Walk given by the Dra- matic CMub. in her Junior year. We have learned that she is a lover of samples. Be careful, Elgie. or you may get the kind that comes in small bot- tles. When it comes to being full of pep, she is alvva -s there with her tricks. Last but not least she is an Alpha Delta Zeta sister. Her hobby is writ- ing letters to — well, vc have mentioned his name before. As a prospective teacher we wish her heaps of success, but as a future societv woman we wish her still more. One Thirty Five R F in c: B |mH| pr -i ' 1 P7 %J . r ' H ; t. Z A H v ft y HELEN PURSEL Danville High School Danville, Pa. Percy And tluTi ' cainc into our midst from the well known city of Danville a dark haired, brown eyed maiden whom everyone called Percy. To know her is to love her. Her charmint; per- sonality has won for her many friends. Why Percy has chosen teaching for her profession instead of elocution is a puzzle which as yet has not been solved. We loved her as office boy in the Dramatic Club play, and praised her in the heavier Shakespearian role from Twelfth Night. She is also (piite renowned for the poems which she compiles. Who ' s good at fortune telling, did you say? Well, just get a clean handkerchief and look for Percy. Why should Percy be partial to brown and white? We have just re- cently discovered that she is quite in- terested in Lehigh. Percy means much to Alpha Delta, and vice versa. We wish this demure little girl the best the world contains. ] VIOLA QUICK Huntington Township High School Fairmount Springs, Pa. Quickie Here is another of those meek and |uict girls. She is not quiet, however, in Hygiene class. You see she belongs to the giggling trio there. We certainly inissed a lot by not having her in our Junior class. She will be leaving us again Second Semes- ter. Now. we wonder why she is inter- ested in a place like Boston. Well, if you would like to know just look in the back of her watch. Quickie is certainly a good sport and always ready for fun. If she failed once in a cer- tain test it was due to — just ask her. We know but we won t tell on you, Quickie. Quickie says she is going to teach ne.xt year but judging from letters and photographs from Boston, we would say differently. However, the jolly class of ' 26 send with you all good wishes in whatever vou undertake. One Tliirtv Six u ZL Ui AUDREY RAMBLE Greene-Dreher Vocational School Greentown, Pa. Audrey Here ' s to Audrey, the lour square ijirl from Greentown. In other words Audrey is a good student, a good sport, a good classmate and a good friend. There is one great mystery about Audrey which has never been solved — she is very quiet among strangers but among her friends she is a never tiring conversationalist. . udrey is seldom guilty of day dreaming but there are rumors that she spends much of her time gazing at the picture of two young athletes which hangs in her room. . udrcy is never idle a minute; when she is not up to mischief, she is working. She is a Hving example of the law of readiness — always ready to eat. ready to play, ready to work — sometimes. .Audrey never fails to ac- complish anything that she sets out to do and for that reason she is sure to make good in teaching. I y 1 STEPHINA H. RASMUS Newport Township High School Glen Lyon, Pa. Steph Stephie Stephie — who on fourth floor does not know her? She was one of the fa- mous Newport Gang which was so well known on fourth floor. We do not know which career she will follow for she seems to be ([uite a comme- dienne. as well as a very good student. When it comes to eats there is no cjucstion of who should eat. It was al- ways settled before hand. As a leader of parades and bands none could fill the role better than Stephie. Latest dance steps always set Ste- phie into action and the gang fol- lowed. A loyal member is the way we describe her. She has the love and friendship of everyone she has come in contact with, and we all wish her the best of luck and success in her chosen profession, whichever it mav be. i n in One Thirty Seven FLORENCE REES Blakely High School Peckville, Pa. Flossie Have you ever heard a rich baritone voice floating out of the Girls ' Dorni ' - tory windows? If you have don ' t g.-t excited. It i.s only Flossie enter- taining her roomies. She not only en- tertains with her voice hut she is also a second Fritz Kriessler. It seems that skills not only attract her girl friends but also a certain young man who voices his attentions by his daily letters. Possibly this ex- plains many of the week-end trips to Parsons. But when it comes to work. Flossie does not care for it so much, but she is always prepared for her classes just the same. Sometimes Flossie gets the idea she is too tall but there is notliing like a tall and stately school teacher or director of music, so here ' s hoping you heaps of success. lo ' lU ' ' 1 LA VERNE REES Nanticoke High School Nanti;oke, Pa. Tod A burst of song, two eyes of blue. smiling through a stray ringlet of brown hair, and before you is our La ' erne. This introduction will always stand good, for she loves to sing. Such preference certainly indicates a sunny disposition in this case, as all who know her will testify. It has been rumored throughout the school that those two blue eyes have wrought havoc upon more than one masculine heart at home and at school. If this is so. we think that the owners of said hearts have shown very good taste. Everyone ' s friend, always willing to help and always in the front ranks when any mischief is on — this is the La N ' erne we ' ll remember and to whom we wish all success in the future. tz One Thirty Eight i MARGARET REESE Mount Carmel High School Mount Carmel. Pa. ■•Peg All-hail to Mount Carmel for send- ing us such a pleasing little lassie as Pe.g. This friendly little girl with her pleasing ways has made many friends here who will always rcmem- her her as a good |uict student (?) Oh well, she may not be as good and quiet as she seems; you d know that if you had ever visited her wlien the gang had convened. Pcg s hearty laugh can always be heard and jokes — none of them have anything on her. Peg takes her work and teaching seriously and in consequence has proved herself a credit to our class. Peg is also one of the song birds, and has helped to ni-,h our Glee Club to the front. To be or not to be, that is the ques- tion. Take our advice. Peg. and be — we know how much he likes youl No, we won ' t tell any secrets. Good-bve and the best of luck from B. S. N. ' S. ' MARION J. REINBOLD Ringtown High School Ringtown, Pa. Marion Marion isn ' t seen very often by many of us anymore, for most of her time is taken up by catching trains. Yes! she is another commuter who pre- fers her own home to dorm life. She is studious and quiet, rarely giv- ing her opinion, but when she does she means what she says. She is a third year student, having taken the Junior High course. We cannot say that her teaching experience will be of any great length, for her heart seems to be bent toward the medi- cal profession. Go ahead. Marion, for only the greatest success can be ob- tained by doing what your heart de- sires — -if you love it, keep on striving •for your M.D. Marion is very shy about telling of her interests in other people— especially the opposite sex — yet there must be some one or why commute. We, the class of ' 26, wish you all the success possible in whatever you do. Oru- Tliiily Nine a 1= ac ul IRENE RHINARD Benton High School Still Water, Pa. Irene Irene is a pleasant and lallur (|uiot, reserved yomiK lady, and is a friend to everyone. (You can tell that by her smile which seldom comes off). She does not live in the dormitory but is well known among her student friends. She is a good student and is always attentive in her work. We do not know much about her outside of school, for she doesn ' t advertise, but we do know that because of her under- standing: and sympathy she will be a wonderful teacher. She is another one who is braving the country life, for she too is a mem- ber of the Rural Group. Irene, your classmates are interested in you now and your future also. We have confidence in your ability to make good and we send you our heartiest wishes for the fulfillment of your de- sires. MARGARET RICHARDS Berwick High School Berwick, Pa.

We are very glad to have her too, for to know her is to love her. To her acquaintances. Peg appears reserved and quiet, but those who know her realize that she is full of fun. When you see Peg with a smile lurking around her lips and a mischievous twinkle in her eyes you can just bet that she has a secret to tell. How interesting it has been to listen to her delightful secrets about??? What a pleasure it would be to be a pupil in one of Pcg s classes. I am sure that we should all love our teacher. The Gang wishes you heaps o suc- cess. One Furlv LU IT _ ' i r I _J RUTH RICHARDS Hun ' ington Mills High School Huntington Mills, Pa. Ruth Ruth is one ol these girls who. no matter what happens, always looks se- rene and calm. Ve can ' t tell just what she is thinking that ' s what makes her all the more mysterious. She ' s a good sport though, and when you see that twinkle in her eye. you can well won- der liow she manages to keep still so long in Sociologj-, etc., etc. Ruth boards in town and that is probably the reason we don ' t see as much of her as we would like to. She is industrious but enjoys a .good time as much as anyone. She wins friends easily and after you know her you can appreciate the saying. Still water runs deep. Although men do not seem to worry Ruth at all. we ' d say. You never can tell! and let it go at that. This means there arc some secrets we can ' t tell. We know she enjoyed her practice teaching and we are sure she will enjoy teaching just as much, after she leaves here. Xo matter what line of work you take up. Ruth, here ' s wishing you the most and best of luck, happiness and success. z; ►. 5 ■ ' JAMES RITTER Danville High School Danville, Pa.

He is very highly educated along the lines of Science. Biolog ' , and Nature Study. Though Jimmie did not engage in any athletics durin,g the stay at B. S. X. S.. he has proved to be a valuable person duriitg any athletic event. His cheering can be heard far above the multitude of voices. Jimmie is ready to debate on any subject that may arise about the Locker Room or Class Room. Then, too, he can keep a solemn face after he has played some pranks upon the boys of the Locker Room. Here ' s wishing you the best of luck. Jimmie. I I Pn 1 1 1 1 m ELSA ROBBINS Millville High School Millville, Pa. Elsa Elsa is another downtown Kirl that we can ' t help but love. She has won the hearts of everyone by the rare charm of her personality. An all around sport is Elsa. Hiking, swimming and canoeing are her chief delights. Is she courageous? Well. I guess! This she exhibited last year when she jumped out of the Nature Study lec- ture room window. This has l)een a secret of Klsa ' s, so we will not tell any- one. If you care to know liow it all came about, consult Elsa. Elsa is a good student and we are sure she will make a good teacher if she doesn ' t get side-tracked by cupid. Whatever it is, Elsa, your classmates wish you the best of luck and happi- ness. r GRACE D. ROBBINS Tredyffrin-Easttown High School Bloomsburg, Pa. Grace When we returned to school this fall and found Grace ' s little sister gone oflf to Columbia, we wondered how Grace could ever have allowed her to do it — why she didn ' t go along too. But — after being in town a few weeks I think we have been able to solve the problem. Don ' t blame you in the least, Grace, we wouldn ' t be so inter- ested in college, cither 1 Grace is quite athletically inclined; she also likes to sing, dance and hike, but the sport she likes most of all is exercising the Durant. Who can blame her? Most of us would like to do the same thin.g if only we had the same chance. We really don ' t know what Grace is studying for but we are interested and anxiously waiting to sec how she solved her various cases. Throughout her three years of study Grace has been a diligent student and an active mem- ber of the Mu Phi Sigma. We wish you a happy and a success- ful career. 2 One Forty Two I MARY J. ROBERTS Plains High School Plains, Pa. Mary J. Mary J. is iinothcr oik- of the charm- ing lassies of B. S. N. S. who can be called a good sport. This good-natured talkative lady is a source of fun and entertainment to her intimate friends. although she appears rather quiet and sedate to the rest of us. Mary J. ' s weakness, it seems, is hot- dogs. How she does love them! But, Mary, they are served cold in Plains, aren ' t they r!r Mary has her own ideas of fun, too. Capricious Miss, that she is, derived much amusement from dressing brooms up as ghosts and putting them in oth- er girl ' s windows. We know you were partly responsible for those tricks in your Junior yea r, Mary. A Chevrolet seems to be the most at- tractive car on the market to her. But then — we don ' t wonder. She is very much interested in her teaching and we know that she will make good. The best of luck to you, Mary. •; ty -, J y BARBARA ROCHE Ashley High School Ashley, Pa. Babs Laugh and the world laughs with you; weep and you weep alone, so Babs, who never liked to be alone. never wept. Babs graduated from the Ashley High School in 1924, where she was very active in school athletics, being on the Girls ' Varsity Basketball team for two years. She went to West Chester Normal School for one semester and came to Bloomsburg during the second half of our Junior year. We were glad to have her for every where she went she spread the contagion of happiness. She is one of those happy-go-lucky-divil- may-care girls, who never worry about anything until they have to. We have found evidence also that if we were to travel o ' er Babs mind we would hit a considerable number of bumps of knowledge. When tests came along Barbara ' s speedometer registered one hundred per cent. plus. Laugh along Babs ! May good luck be vours! . I One Forty Tlirec 2 R x: E r F Tl ELEANOR J.

What would fourth floor anne.x do without her? We simply can ' t imagine any- thing so dreary. Everyone knows when there ' s any fun to 1)e had, Eleanor wants to be in the midst of it. And as for eats, the gang can testify to that. Eleanor has proved herself sincerely as a friend and pal. We are sure of her success, and our best wishes are hers. CHRISTINE B.

Everyone loves Teen and when she is not around there ' s always the crj-, Where ' s Christine? In the Mu Phi Sigma she ' s on the regular demand. As our secretary she has duties galore, but she never shirks. We ' re not only proud of her for her many good 4ualities but also for her high standing in scholarship. She ' s a fine pal in every way. As far as we know Christine never gets into scrapes. According to one of her chums we learn that she never did anything disgraceful ' ' xcept have the chickenpox in High School. How extremely alarming! Poor Christine! Is it any wonder that Teen is go- ing to make a wonderful success? We should say not! It ' s perfectly certain that this is true after only one visit to her class room during a teaching period. Well, old pal. just heaps of success and much, very much, happi- ness. ■ 1 One Forty Four Z JOHN ROWLANDS Plains High School Plains. Pa. Jack Jack came to us from Plains Hijjh School just two years aRO. His dis- position, bein.er that of a quiet unassum- ing person, caused us to wonder just what he would mean to us. We did not wait long, however, for Jack soon won a place in our hearts. Knowing his ability at leadership and for winning friends, he was elected Captain of our Football Team and he played a great game all season. He held a few other offices while at this institution, among which fell Presi- dent of the Dramatic Club and Trea- surer of the B. D. C. Organization. When otT the gridiron Jack spent most of his time studying and he cer- tainly can study. He is at present un- decided as to what he will take up in later life. Irrespective of what he may choose to do he may rest assured that he carries with him best wishes of a legion of friends for a big. successful life — one particular friend especially — no need for blushing. Jack. Play the game of life as hard as you played football and you will come out on top. (s JEANETTE RUSSEL Hazleton High School Hazleton, Pa. Jean Jean — Jean — Jean — Calls of friends and calls for aid. Her friends were many and she was never too busy to help some one. Jean ' s virtues are many, and we find her a friend true blue, ready for mischief, eager to help — an all-round pal. Can she sing? Von should hear her. Songs never ending — funny songs — sweet songs — sad songs — merry songs — Jean is never at a loss — Music is her pal. Jean is also in love with dress parades, especially when she can wear a certain hat. Ask her about it. Jean tells us she is going to teach at least six years. But, my friends, if you could see the handwriting on a certain wall and know certain some- things, you would sort of raise your eyebrows and think things and agree that a certain avocation, as well as a vocation, may be obtained in Hazleton. We bid you farewell. Jean. and wish you luck, happiness and success. One Forty Kiv [ u GEORGE SACK Newport Twp. High School Glen Lyon, Pa. Sockie Sockit came to us known as a Krcat l)askctl)all star. H received his reputation during the High School Uaskethall Tournaments that were held here, and he certainly has lived up to it. He has had three years of playing while at Normal, for he is a memher of the Junior High School group, and he has developed a reputation of heing one of the hest guards that ever set foot on Bloomshurg ' s Baskethall Court. Sockie was also noted for his abil- ity to entertain his many friends. While in his presence you were never known to lack enjoyment. He joined the B. D. C. Orchestra, and wherever they played Sockie was always surrounded by a multitude of students. Although many of the fairer sex have tried to charm Snckie. oidy one has ever succeeded during his three years ' stay at the Normal School, and that was during his first year. Sockie, we are sure you will always reign supreme and here is wishing you the best of everything throughout life. HELEN SANDERSON Honesdale High School Honesdale, Pa. The best way to have a friend is to be one. This seems to have been Helen ' s motto during her two years of work here, for wherever she goes she is greet- ed with a cheery smile. Everyone knows her. and to know her is to love her. Helen is always in for a good time and has livened up many a gathering. That she is also studious was shown by the fact that she was second on the Honor Roll during our Junior vcar. She is an . thletic Leader and it is her artistic hand which decorates the ath- letic posters so often seen in the halls. Helen ' s favorite topic of conversa- tion is Penn State. As the popular advertisement says. There ' s a reason. and there are strong indications that the reason is a Sophomore at the said institution. Here ' s wishing you luck. Helen, and hoping that you always get the thing you want and always want the thing you get. You have the best wishes of the class of ' 26.

Best luck to you. Jeannette. MARGARET H. SCANLON Weatherly High School Weatherly, Pa. Peg Peg is one who helps comprise the famous Three Sillies. and is well known throu.ghout the Uorm for her queer giggle and cheery ways. If ever in demand. Peg can always be found in the gymnasium trving the latest dance steps, or else in someone ' s room, where a feed is going on. And wc are sure she missed her vocation by coming to B. S. N. S., because of a sudden interest in shoes and boots?! Accidents arc bound to happen and this she discovered at the game between our Normal and Seminary, but don ' t care, Peg. it couldn ' t be helped. Peg is also known for her public speaking and athletics, especially bas- ketball and tennis. Due to her winning personality she has won her way into the hearts of many and alas! not only of the female sex. Judging from State letters she gets, we are sure her career as a teach- er will not be a long one. Success and happiness are our sin- cere wishes for you, Peg.

Ethel Many people have gone to Hali- fax. but our Ethel was the first one to come back again. A few years ago Sue Ethel was a student at Bloonisburg. but she had a stronwr appeal for the Commercial line of teaching. As a Commercial teacher she has been in the Cold ' ' irthwest and in the Sunny Southland. For the last year and a half she was in Perth Amboy. New Jerscv, but she finally decided that Pennsylvania was the best state after all. Although she has been of the class only one semester we have found that she is not only capable but also laugh- able. Since she has already been most suc- cessful in her teaching we can but add our best wish to that. One Forty Eight Z R MILLIE I. SHROPPE Tower City High School Tower City. Pa. Millie Has she pep? Can ' t l)e beat! She never remains quiet or allows anyone else too. Who was it that helped the .luniors t ' orKet their homesickness bnt Millie? She is always ready to cheer somebody ' s drooping spirits. It is im- ])ossil)le to feel l)lue when she begins talking and joking. Millie can always be found in the Gym after dinner. Can she dance? She surely can and she never lacks the practice for she goes to every dance that the school ever gives. Those who ever walked down town with Millie know what invariably hap- pens if a Bull Do.g Mack truck passes. She will give a gasp and say. Here conies a ' Bull Dog Mack. ' here is the Avxn Leader? We have not been al)le thus far to find the meaning of these words — but you know that more men drive cars than women! We know that we shall all miss Mil- lie ' s jolly personality, but we also know that she will be a success in her school teaching career or in any other work she might take up. Millie will always have a host of friends wherever she goes for she will be well worthy of these words — a true friend. . ?K ANNA JEAN SCOTT Kingston High School Kingston, Pa.

For further information con- cerning the first, consult any of her neighbors on fourth floor annex. But down underneath the fun-loving surface there is a serious side which comes to life whenever there is work to be done. .She is the best pal and friend a person could have.

SCOVELL Lehman High School Shawanese, Pa. Carrie Carrie came to us two years ago a very quiet. ])ut industrious little girl. She was another fellow sufferer in music class, but with might and main she toed the mark. Docs she study? Well, I guess! She is fond of teaching and likes to make lesson plans. She says she is going to be a school marni all her life, but we doubt this as she seems to be very anxious to go home when vacation time comes. We wonder why??? We never could find out why she didn ' t want to room in the dormitory. Maybe it was the fudge that Bob made. However, we can all have our own ideas. Carrie, we know that you will be a success in the vocation you have chosen, and the class of ' 26 knows that you will always be as sweet as you were during the two years that you were with us. Much love to vou, Carrie. , LOIS SECHRIST Bloomsburg High School Bloomsburg, Pa. Lois Lois is loved by all who know her because of her gentle, winsome ways. One might think her very quiet until they know her. then they change their mind. Lois is one of ' 26 ' s earnest workers. She often wears a serious expression on her face and works with untiring effort. When matters of grave impor- tance are about to be discussed and duly considered. Lois shows her inter- est by contributing her share to help the cause. Now. dear readers, don ' t think from this that Lios and fun are stran- ers. for there you are wrong. The- are the best of friends. We feJ ' l sure that her pleasant dis- position and her desire to heln others will make Lois ' s life a happy and use- ful one. One Fiflv z: Zi. rv E m ni li. EMMA D. SELECKY Newport Township High School Glen Lyon, Pa. Emma Have you ever noticed the little blond jlirl who belongs to that organization known as the Newporters ? It is none other than Emma. She looks iuiet and demure, doesn ' t .she? Well, if you ever happened on fourth floor, main hall, you wouldn ' t say she was quiet. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule, so we can say this: The proctors never had to rap on her door after ten o ' clock. Vou will all agree with me when I say that Emma ' s two years at Normal were very happy ones. Surely all the Xewport girls know that! . Mong with the happy moments. Emma was sure to get her work done, for she was a studious girl. F.specially when it came time to practice for the next music class. Emma could be heard far above the others doing her best to be sure to know it. Emma has nothing on the rest of us when it comes to eats. Her fav- orite saying was Let ' s make cocoa. Does she like candy? Well, we ' ll say so! If you won ' t tell any one. I ' ll teil you a secret. Between classes when the rest of the gang were out of sight, she and her girl friend si)ent most of their time in the pressing room mak- ing fudge. They thought it was a secret, but — ? VIOLA SHIBER Wilkes-Barre High School Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Viola Just look at her picture and j-ou will know that ' ioIa is mischievous. She is just bubbling over with fun. It is a pleasure to hear her jolly laugh. That curly hair is her crowning glory. Viola is ambitious, jolly, good naturcd and, after her work is finished, always ready for a good time. She finds pleasure in everything she does. Her friends al- ways appreciate her treats when she has eats, for one of her favorite sayings is Want something to eat? She has another famous cry, too, Is the mail in? We are wondering why? N ' iola is a friend whom you would be really glad to have. She had much success in her teaching at Normal, and we feel sure she will be just as success- ful in the future. Our only warning, X ' iola. is Do not make your career as a teacher too short. On.

Marge Marge, after teaching and attend- ing summer school, decided to try a winter with us at B. S. N. S. She is always ready to help anyone along any line. Nothing that she has undertaken has remained unfinished. She possesses that wonderful faculty of being able to make and keep friends. Marge receives many bo.xes and tells us they are from home, but we doubt it. Every day she makes a reso- lution that she will not visit Bush ' s any more, but every afternoon she break.s it and then??? Marge is diligent and thorough in her school work and is consistingly ef- ficient in all she attempts. She does not believe in all work and no play, however, for after the work is finished there are few jollier girls than she. She has chosen the Intermediate work as her field of activity. W ' e feel sure that she will succeed in all her endeavors and we wish her luck. Kc Oho Fifty Two Ji. FRANCES SILVERMAN Bloomsburg High School Bloomsburg, Pa. Silverman Silverman hails from Bloomsburg and is very proud of the fact. Every day she may be seen wending her way to the Normal to acquire an educa- tion. She is a very studious young woman and seems to take her work very seriously. She is always willing to help a friend and many times has proven herself a friend in need. One of Silverman ' s pet hobbies is being saleslady in her father ' s shoe store. At this she seems to be verv proficient and seems to win the favor of her customers. Although Silverman does not live in the dorm she may often be seen there dressing dolls for art projects. She is also verv fond of music and was an active member of the Glee Club. We hope that Silverman will be as successful in teaching as she has been in the training school. Here ' s luck! m i SARAH SISKIN East Chicaeo High School Shenandoah, Pa. Sally One could write forever and still have something to say. From glanc- ing at the picture you would think her very serious, but not so. for wher- ever there is any fun Sally is in on it. Many a night she has entertai fd the gang in Room 280 with thrill- ing accounts of her experiences while living in England and in various parts of the United States. Sally is an excellent pianist, which she has proven to us on many oc- casions. Her future can easily be pre- dicted bv her impersonations of the musical artists that visit B. S. N. S. and other operas which she has wit- nessed. We all wish you success and hope that some day we have the plea- sure of seeing you fill that position or teaching or ??????

She has lived at Shortess ' s for the two years, so that we liaven ' t seen much of her. hut we must say to those that don ' t know her that you have missed much. She spends most of her time study- ing: and takes great pleasure in helping others. If you ever need a friend, go to Hazel. She is always willing to do whatever she can for anyone. Hazel gets a great many letters from New York and she insists that they are written by her cousin. We wonder if any one could be so e.vcited and de- lighted upon receiving a letter from a cousin. There is no doubt that Hazel will be successful for anyone who is as conscientious in their work as she is cannot help but succeed. So here are our best wishes to vou. GOOD LUCK. IJ -. ) MARGARET M. SMITH Hazleton High School Hazleton, Pa. Red OH! that Red Head Gal. She ' s got lots of ' em worried. Yes, Red is one of the three Sillies, who has gained nmch popularity at school, due to her great athletic ability. Red does not believe in having artistic ability, be- cause of the e.xtra work — 1 She is al- ways found where her other two pals are — The Pegs. Since September Red has taken a fancy to house furnishings, such as sofas, and especially a Davenport. Red regrets that the mail service is so slow between Notre Dame and B. S. N. S. But in the meantime she contents herself by singing, Oh. how I miss you tonight. Success to you. Red. and may your future be always as bright as vour hair. One Fiftj- Four L n LEORA V. SOUDER Nescopeck High School Nescopeck, Pa. Leora Lcora is oiu- ot o ir quiet girls who hail from Nescopeck. hut everyone who has heeu fortunate enouRh to Rain her friendship prizes it very highly. We notice that Leora has plenty of time for reading, and going to the movies. But she always has her work done, for when she works she works with a will. Leora is interested in all sports, cs- liecially haskethall. We wonder if that is the only reason why she goes to the Lihrary seeking news of the Y. M. I ' . A. Baskethall Team at Berwick, or if there is another reason. Leora is always glad when some one mentions a hike to Light ' - -et. Re- number the good eats you had at Hotel Kemely . nother way to make Leora happy is to notify the weather man to send snow. From present in lications we think she will stay long with us as a teach- er, hut from a hint dropped we are lead to helicve she prefers the sea to land. Whatever vou mav do. Leora, good luck. -.1 HELEN MAY SPARE Wilkes-Barre High School Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Spare There is a friendly, jolly look ahout Helen which will make you wish to know her better. That this first im- pression is correct, is shown by the way she has made friends both here and elsewhere — Mauch Chunk, for in- stance. If you ever wish to locate Helen, simply look for the neatest room on fourth floor — it will be hers. Spare has an original way of ex- pressing herself, to which her pet ex- pression hears virtues. We all admit that My cow is in a class Ir itself as an exclamation. Once safely out of the dining room, Helen May confesses a liking for cinnamon buns, especially if the evi- dence is upon her. The Dramatic and Glee Clubs arc among the activities of this busy girl. She is fond of hiking, dancing and music. Her attractive personality and many interests will surely be aids in her future work. Spare, we speed you on to success. LU ni Oiu- Fiftv rivt R - HELEN A. STAPINSKI Newport Township High School Glen Lyon, Pa. Helen The lifjhts are out, girls! Here comes the ' sup ' , were two famous ex- pressions heard on tourtli floor after ten o ' clock. Helen ' s name was never omitted from the program given by the New- port crowd. Her favorite feature was a dancing stunt, accompanied by the Newport Orchestra. As President of the U. N. L Club, Helen was always at the lead of every- thing, especially in getting up for break- fast every morning. When business was over her cry was, When do we eat? I wonder if she alwavs got what she wanted at these feeds? Did some one say she was artistic? You should see some of the work she has done in the art class, and also some of the posters she made tor the Children ' s Literature class. Sugges- tions and helpl Vou just ask any one on fourth floor, or anywhere in fact, if Helen was ever willing to help or give any suggestions when any one was in need. Her alert mind and her pleasing personality and disposition are some of the many things that have helped her to gain as many friends as she has. As for her being studious her- self — why a look at any of the teach- er ' s roll book or the honor roll will show that Helen was always at the top. , IDA STEINERT Sunbury High School Sunbury, Pa. Ida Who ' s the girl with the smile? Oh. haven ' t you heard? I thought everybody knew Ida. She has a foot- ball, they say, in her top bureau drawer. Kazlusky must have given it to her. You didn ' t know Kaz. did you? He was one of the three all round sportsmen named in last year ' s Obiter. As luck would have it. he happened to be around when Ida lost her way in the kitchen, so he helped her out again. We won ' t tell you the rest of the story; nevertheless, she gets mail from Michi- gan. Ida is a fine girl and right jolly on occasions. Her smile, as you have no- ticed, has made her famous at school and won for her many, many friends. She is a staunch member of the Rural Club and will make a splendid teach- er. She ' s a peach of a girl all right, and here ' s wishing her luck. Y One Fifty Six Jy : LAURA B. STEVENS Bloomsburg High School Bloomsburg, Pa. Stevie Here she isl Ii you don ' t know Stevie, I should advise you to get acquainted with her. She is a jolly, Kood-naturcd. golden-haired lassie be- loved by everyone in Xornial. Laura is always ready to have a good time, and is a live wire if there is anything going on. She is a student witli ability an- ' has been very successful in the work of the Junior High School group, in which she has chosen to specialize. She is a happy-go lucky girl and rath- er expects to teach, but expectations do not always come true, especially in the face of such circumstantial evi- dence. Doncha care, Stevie. Wheth- er you teach a group, or one single person, may success always be with vou. . ' S CLEOTA STINER Orangeville High School Orangeville, Pa. Cleota Cleota is one of our day students hailing from the town of Orangeville. She prefers the quiet life at home and the daily drive in her Ford Coupe to the (juict life in Bloomsburg. Cleota ' s appearance denotes quiet- ness but we find appearances deceiv- ing, because Cleota is generally pres- ent where there is any fun. When you speak of any sports, don ' t forget to mention Cleota. for she is very fond of all athletics, particularly basketball, where she plays center, and she certainly does fulfill her position. We must not fail to remember Cleota ' s willingness to accommodate. Not once has anyone asked her to do something without it being cheerfully and well done. We know that you will succeed in your chosen work. Cleota. and you have our best wishes for a bright and pros- perous future. z: One Fifty Seven 3 t Wffii WILLIAM STOKER Newport Twp. High School Wanamie, Pa. Bill Bill has proved liis worth to us in many ways, especially on the athletic field, his specialty heiiiK line iilungin.i . His ability on the basketball was also far above the mean. Although he has taken part in athletics he has not sliKhttd his studies in the least. As far as we know, he is an earnest stu- dent and spends his spare moments well. ' et there is one tiling singular about Bill. The fact that he has not at any time given way to the fairer sex is a point strong in his favor. To be sure there were occasions when a mov- ing picture or a .Sunday evening ser- vice presented exceptional opportuni- ties and a slight deviation from nor- mal occurred. Or, perhaps, a well bal- anced meal may have prolonged a con- versation in the hall, but on the whole his course was rather st eady. Strong nuist be the man to direct his course without some little departure or ad- venture into a love affair. And when good looks are concerned the task be- comes intensified. Wanamie is one of the most highly respected communities in the state, and as a model of its citizens, we present Bill. Good luck to you, Bill, in all of your undertakings. MIRIAM STRAUB Scott Township High School Espy, Pa. Teddy Hurry on, girls, we ' ll he late for class! When you heard this exclama- tion, you could be very sure that Teddy was in the vicinity. She al- ways had such a dreadful time getting the girls started for class I Those who know Teddy say she is an ideal girl. She has all of those qualities that make for character, am- bition, ingenuity, and a lovable person- ality. Besides possessing all of these (pialities. Teddy has a sunny disposi- tion, which makes all whom she meets love her. She thinks Keep your face always toward the sunshine and the shadows will fall be- hind you. As a teacher here at school she has shown unusual ability, and so Teddy. we wish that you may meet with suc- cess and happiness, and that all of vour dreams will come true. One Fifty Eight yZ -. i CATHERINE A. STRINE Milton High School Milton, Pa. From the neighboring town of Mil- ton came this lass to travel the road of Knowledge. When you want something done, you can dcnend on Catherine. She has shown herself to be an able scholar, which can be proven by a peep at the Honor Roll. Small wonder! When- ever you see her she is poring over a book. She always has time, however, to lend a helping hand to someone in need, and to give a pleasant smile. Of- ten you can sec and hear her cheery laugh ring through the corridor. Catherine says she can not be both- ered with the opposite sex while in school. She is not wholly indifferent in her attitude, we notice, and there will be plenty of time when B. S. N. S. days are over. Catherine, we are sure you will be successful. ? RUTH SULT Berwick High School Berwick, Pa. Rusty They say that good things come in small packages, and after we saw Rusty, we l)elievcd it. L ' nanimously, wo vote her the happiest, most cheer- ful little girl we know. She has never been known to lose her temper or be- come the least bit angary, which is say- ing a lot. Like everyone else. Rusty has her hobby — dogs. One day during a gym class on the hockey field, we discovered that one of our teams was minus a player, and we wanted Rusty to take her place, but — Rusty was too busy playing ball with two dogs. However, we have found one topic which she dislikes to discuss and that ' s study. Oh. yes — of course, she studies but she ' d much rather do almost any- thing else. Who wouldn ' t? Well, Rusty, we all contend that if you keep your sunny disposition, you ' ll make a wonderful teacher, not only in the intermediate grades but in the kin- dergarten — and you take with you our best wishes for success in teaching — and every thing else. G Olio Fiftj- Nine RF 1— == BERTHA M. SUTLIFF Kingston Township High School Trucksville, Pa. Bert Shy and timid — yes! until you know her, you would think that Bertha was silence itself. She has a laugh which is really contagious and she never seems to worry over anything. She is always willing to help someone less fortunate than herself. She is never happier than when making a week ' s supply of lesson plans. We can ' t understand what the attrac- tion for M. S. N. S. is, hut there must be one, for Bert is always looking for mail from Mansfield. If she doesn ' t watch out. we will doubt her state- ment that she is .going to be an Old Maid school teacher, Bertha chose the Primary group up- on which to center her attention and we feel sure she will be a success, for she just loves the kiddies, The class of ' 26 wishes you a measure heap ! and overflowing of success. - ' LL i MARY A. SWEENEY St. Vincent ' s High School Plymouth, Pa. Sweeney Happy-go-lucky and smiling Mary. Sometime she looks quiet and sedate, but is she? Just step in front of Room .lO,? some night and then you will know. Vou will no doubt hear merry peals of laughter caused by Swee- ney ' s anecdotes and antics. Sweeney is always ready to have a good time and she is a live wire when there is anything going on. Behind those blue eyes there is a deep un- ending story of mischief which crops out every so often. When Sweenev is not sleeping, she is playing cards. Another pastime of her ' s is dressing herself up in trunk- covers, curtains and draperies. We wonder why she docs this? If she is not entertaining us with her read wit, she often delights in teasing us. Mary ' s one great ambition is to be- come a member of the B. S. ' . S. Fac- ulty — but in her Junior year she thought seriously of becoming a fireman. As a teacher Mary has met with much success and we are sure that more success will be her ' s in the fu- ture. Here ' s our best wishes. One Sixty A J R ARLENE SWEET Clarks Summit High School Clarks Summit, Pa. Sweetie Sweetie was a demure little lass when Clarks Summit handed her over to the care of B. S. X. S. in the Sep- tember of 1924. She soon made us sit up and take notice, however, and was elected Class Secretary, and first secre- tary of the Student Council. Her su- periority was also shown by the fact that the end of first semester saw her in the front ranks of the Honor Roll. If I were to stop now and leave you with just these impressions of Sweetie you would never know the other big: side of her personality. Does she like the boys? Here is the answer: Most girls like their broth- ers, but I so good have .grown. That I like other girl ' s brothers far better than my own. Yes. Sweetie is a regular heart breaker — hold ' cr. K. A. For addition- al information read the following: She has learned the meaning of a frat pin. She will loan a party dress to any girl who is small enough to wear one. Last, but not least, she always lives up to her name, and if she keeps up this last, we ' ll forgive the rest. JOSEPHINE TEDESCO Old Forge High School Old Forge. Pa. Jo No one could fail to recognize Jo with her thick, black bobbed hair and her sparkling eyes which are simply brimming over with mischief. She has a smile and a cheery Hello for every- one, and in exchange she looks for something to cat. Her famous cry is. Are you going down town for eats? This can be heard through the halls frequently. We wonder why Jo likes to attend all the games and dances? Maybe time will tell. Although men do not seem to cause Jo much concern this year, we are inclined to believe that her in- terest is centered around Scranton. judging from the numerous letters she receives weekly. F ery Sunday after- noon you hear Jo say. Here comes a Ford Roadster up the hill; I won- der — ? ' So do we all, but what ' s the use? Here ' s wishing that Jo, a good sport and a good friend, will meet the problems of teaching with the same at- titude as she meets her friends. We, as a class, wish you success and hap- piness in all you undertake. One Sixty One t2: = ft; 71 Kr ' ELIZABETH A THOMAS Dorranceton High School Luzerne, Pa. Liz In tlic fall of 1924, among- the many new Jnnior.s tliat entered B. S. N. S.. I ' .Iizabeth came with the idea of be- eominK a sedate school teacher. It was not long before we learned to know her as a vivacious young lady who was al- ways willing to play a joke on some- one. She was a member of the Glee Club during her Junior Year, as well as the Y. W. C, A, Some day we expect to sec Elizabeth on the stage as an opera singer, because of the e. tra-ordi- nary quality of her voice. Best of suc- cess along that line, Elizabeth. We wonder why it is that she is al- ways happy when berries are served for dinner. There must be a reason. Elizabeth is a peach of a girl, a real buddy, and always has a laugh for everyone. We know that she will make a good school teacher but we doubt if she will teach very long. However, best of luck and success for your fu- ture happiness. LOUISE J. THOMPSON Peckville High School Peckville, Pa. Skinny If you haven ' t met Louise, you haven ' t met one of the jolliest girls here. A good sport? Well, we should say so. She can enjoy a joke on her- self as well as on the other fellow. Louise bids fair to be one of our fu- ture Hockey Stars. When she comes down the field driving that ball, well, there simply isn ' t any stopping to her. As all athletes need real food, she is no exception to the rule. It she isn ' t eat- ing it isn ' t she. Often when we are leaving a mid-night feed, she is the life of the party with her wit and clever acting. Louise always looks forward to voca- tions. Shall we tell the reason why? A little birdie tells us that she is not the demure little lady she may appe.ir to be when they are looking for the person who played the pranks, especial- ly the night of the athletic banquet. Do you remember? In whatever you do in life we wish you the best of luck and success. One Sixty Two n z: 1 1 ' ■ 1 Kv !■ |a 1 L ' H P«.k JOHN TIMKO Mining and Mechanical Institute Freeland, Pa. Timko Timko ontt-red our class in the mad rush ot ' 26 in our Senior year. He had previously spent a tew sum- mer sessions here and had thus made up his Junior work. Timko was a valiant worker and his worth was soon felt when an ad- vertisinn manager tor the Obiter was needed. He fulfilled his position in a wonderful manner. He is also a real worker about the classroom and he spends most of his leisure moments studying. He is the one person in this insti- tution who seems to be living on love. He is a very light ' : ' : ' :■ ' : ' : cater and it seems to be a miracle that he is able to survive on such a small amount for stich a large person. Timko seems to be well supplied with mail from Freeland and he seems to be highly elated after reading these letters. Is that why you never de- veloped a case here?????? we wonder. Here ' s wishing you all the success in the world, Timko. ARLENE TITEL Bloomsburg High School Bloomsburg, Pa. Although -A.rlene is a down-town girl her face is familiar in the girKs dormi- tory. She possesses a most pleasing man- ner and she is always in the bright side of life, never bothers the dark side. One ' s first impression of Arlene. that she is very quiet and reserved girl in true, but yet rather deceiving, for we all come to know her to be loving and jolly. By the way. from the tine reports that come from her training teacher, we believe . ' rlene is going to make one of our first class intermediate teachers, but if all we hear is true Ar- lene ' s teaching career will not be long, but whatever your future work may be the class of ' 26 wishes you success and happiness, Arlene. One Sixty Three h x: t L 3 = LOUISE E. TREGASKIS Plains High School Plains. Pa. Lou litre is another one of our quiet pirls. but if you sliould catch her unawares and happen to get a glimpse of the ever present twinkle in her eye. you would know that she is not as quiet as she seems and she. too. like tlie rest of us. loves a good time. There is a little lady on back hall who is always anxious for the mail (when the marks are out), and she al- most always receives a letter. Never mind. Louise, w ' e are an.xious for the mail to be put in, and often receive letters ourselves, but time will tell why you watch the mail box. She has a personality that has won for her many friends and she is loved by all who know her as a true and faithful friend. As a teacher we don ' t think she ' ll last long, that is. if letters from Maryland mean anything. We predict a speedy journey to suc- cess, though along what line we can- not say. In the meantime, best wishes from the class of ' 26. i.i y ELIZABETH TREIBLEY Shamokin High School Snydertown, Pa. Betty Lots of pep. a cheery greeting for everyone, always that ' s Betty. She surely does have a bright and sunshiny disposition. By the way. Betty ' s the only one in our crowd with a pet name, but Kliza- beth is such a long name and we ' re not so sure but that Jerry might have had something to do with the shortening. We wonder what has become of Betty? She used to play for us in the Gym. for the evening dances, but since Jerry has returned to his Alma Mater. Betty is playing sweeter music in the parlor. Betty did her practise teaching first semester so she has already shown ability along this line and we feel quite confident that she will be a successful teacher. One Sixty Four z: r m JESSICA C. TRIMBLE Kingston High School Kingston, Pa. Jep We ' ll say she has pep. Xcver re- mains quiet or allows anyone else too; that is, ot course, c-xceptiiiK her study hour ??? Jep is an all round good sport, es- pecially does she like coasting. We ' ll never forget the time she coasted to Light Street, and some of her experi- ences on the way. Never mind, Jep, we all had fun and anyway, It ' s the little things that count. Jep ' s smile has won tor her much popularity among the students. We never yet have seen her without it, so evidently she must be thinking pleasant thouglits. Jei) ' s favorite boast is. I ' ll never encumber myself taking a husband — but time will tell??? We all wish you the greatest of suc- cess as a teacher, whether it be in the class room or in the home. ' 1 DOROTHY TROY Hazleton High School Rock Glen, Pa. Dot She talks when she conies, She talks when she goes. And what she talks about Every one knows. Since Dot entered Bloomsburg Normal she has proved herself to be a student tried and true. One can al- ways see her trotting around busily en- gaged in some task or other. The evi- dence of this is seen in her participa- tion in the Glee Club, Alpha Delta Zeta Sorority, Presbyterian Church Choir, and other school activities. Dot appears to be a firm believer in the quotation, All that you do. do with your might; for whatever she attempts she goes at whole heartedly and with a do or die spirit. Although we fear that Dorothy will not stay at her chosen profession long, we are confident of her success, as merit goes never unrewarded. z: One Sixty Five Zv g F U 1 ROY TROY B. S. N. S. High School Dept. Nurenburg, Pa. Tucker Tucker is one of North Hall s happy-go-lucky fellows. He can al- ways be seen hurrying to classrooms just as the second l)cll is ringing. He never hurries until he hears the first bell ring and then by the time he gets all dolled up the second bell rings and he is late to class. Do not misjudge Tucker and think he is a slacker. l)ecause he isn ' t. He is one of the number who helped make the B. S. N. S. Symphony Orchestra possible. Roy and his drums aided Mr. Carter in organizing an orchestra, which was thought impossible. He also loves to study nature and to follow the Bio- logical Sciences. Yet, amid all his toil he still finds time to loiter about the halls in the presence of a fair young lady. He is a firm believer in the fact tliat variety is the spice of life. During his three years stay at Normal he certainly has had variety in his choice of friends from the fairer sex. Here ' s hoping you continue your education and make a success in every thing you attempt. GRACE VAIL Jermyn High School Jermyn, Pa. Grace Grace is one of our tall darked-haired girls. She is very studious and her work comes before play at all times. Did she ever enter a class room unpre- pared? I should say not! She is particularly interested in foot- ball, and we wonder why? But a cap- tain at home settles the question. She was always ready for mail but we don ' t blame you. Grace. Grace made a wise choice when she chose the Intermediate Group. She finds it interesting, and we hope she stays in the profession as we know she will be a help to any community. Grace has made a number of friends while at school. She is one who is loved by all. and it is no wonder that the kiddies like her so well. We surely wish you luck and suc- cess in vour future.

He goes on about his work as though he is not the least bit concerned, but when the grades are handed out, he is alwavs collecting the A s. Whitey has been a great asset to us on the Football Team and his work at right end was greatly appreciated. His spectacular playing won for him many friends of the opposite sex, Van was also a prominent fi.gure on the dance floor. This ability, along witli his winning ways and pleasing per- sonalty, made him known by all the students. ' an was always out for a good time and if he did not find one he could very easily make one. He was the sort of a fellow who could install a jovial mood about a morgue. He was also a lover of music and he made it a hobby of his to collect all music books pos- sible — especially those which were fly- ing about the halls loosely. At every Post Mortem. after each athletic event, ' an was always the presiding officer. Here ' s wishing you the best of luck in whatever phase of life which you choose to enter. LOLITA VAN SCOY Tunkhannock High School Centermorland, Pa. Lolita Lolita is a girl who seems very quiet but after you know her you will find that she is very jolly and witty. There is an old proverb which says that Good things come in small packa.ges. This is proved by Lolita. Small people are not supposed to eat much, but if you think Lolita does not welcome boxes of cats — just ask her roomie, Lolita is one of the few girls at Nor- mal who takes her work seriously and in her work must be included many good books. She is very fond of read- ing these. Although Lolita was born in Center- morcland she attended Hi,gh School at Timkhannock. From various reports we have heard that she had many good times there. We wonder why Lolita has a pre judice against light haired fel- lows, Lolita has made many friends here and we all send with her, as she goes out to teach, our best wishes for a suc- cessful career. m y ScviMi fR Ul m MILLICENT A. VAN ZANDT Waverly High School Waverly, N. Y. Milly Mil Milly is one of the 29 varieties we find in the Junior High School Group who are here for their third year. She is a foursquare girl, and is always the life of the crowd she is w-ith. Can Mill laugh? Well, we ' ll let you see for yourself, because she surely will demonstrate it without much trouble, and the best of it is you ' ll find it con- tagious. Mill is very studious, too. but she says she just gets started right when the lights go out. Hard luck. Mill — when you get out teaching, we hope you won ' t have to blow out the candle until you are finished your lessons or — - well, we know Mill won ' t do lessons all the time. We find this young lady also a mem- ber of the Mu Phi Sigma. She is an enthusiastic supporter of this thriving organization. We know you will be successful in your teaching profession even though you do go West to teach (???). Our best wishes for success ,go with you from vour many friends vou made while at B. S. N. S. O WILLIAM WALSH Old Forge High School Old Forge, Pa. Billie Walshey Walshey came to us from Old Forge High School with the reputa- tion of having great athletic ability. We learned the value of this gallant young man in the season of ' 24 when he played such a wonderful game on the gridiron. Last year his worth was also fully appreciated. His ability on the basketball court was also far above the mean. When the first track team was being formed. Billie came out as an aspirant and soon he began to make Joey Ray look foolish running the hundred-yard dash. Though Billie took such an active part in athletics, he never fell down in his school work. When his duties on the athletic field were through, he spent most of his time studying, and he certainly new the art of studying. Still with all his work, which took up so much of his time, he could always find a little time for some fun. Due to his personality and his ath- letic ability he became very popular among the members of the fairer se.x. Amid all his popularity he showed a strong will power and firmness be- cause he never developed a case. Here ' s wishing you all the success possible in whatever field you may choose to fol- low. One Sixty Eight y . k ALICE WARD Danville High School Danville, Pa. Jerry This cknnire little lass conies from Danville. Every morninR she may be seen rushing from the street car to- ward the school. In the evening she is going in the opposite direction. When she isn ' t rushing for a street car, or in school, you may sec her rid- ing her horse, for Jerry certainly lo es that sport and indulges in it. We th nk that if she has her way she will r;dc strai.ght through life on her horse and laugh the automobile to scorn. .Mice is one of those wise girls who failed to hear Dame Fashion ' s call, but kept her crowning glory. We are sure she has held her dignity by holding to her tresses. We always thought Alice to be a (|uict, backward girl, but we changed our opinion when we saw her great in- terest shown in athletics at the track meet. She ' s a peach of a friend to every one, and we wish her the best o ' luck. t i ISABEL WARD BIcomsburg High School Bloomsburg, Pa. Izzy Whom have we here? Well, if it isn ' t another of our town girls. Izzy is one of Bloomsburg ' s jolly, sunny tempered, good-natured girls. But why shouldn ' t she be? She never worries and never lets worry worry her. She never gets excited nor is she ever in a hurry. So why should she not be jolly and happy? Much can be said of Izzy ' s taste in cars — at any rate her infatuation in that direction is remark- able. If you want to start a conversa- tion with her just say Essex. One of the most important factors in Izzy ' s young life is her radio. It is so useful. She can tune in any time and sec just how far up the hill the expected Es- sex is. Izzy chose teaching for her life profession, but from all appearances we doubt if she will teach long. We wonder why she is so anxious for cer- tain nights to come! Judgin.g from all ;.ppearances, we know Izzy will be a successful teacher and we wish her the best of luck. One Sixty Nine 3 MIRIAM VVARNTZ Berwick High School Berwick, Pa. Miriam Miriam is one of our all around good sports. She has lots of life and pep. By this vc do not mean that she neglects her work, for she is a very conscienti- ous student and we feel sure she will l)e a success as a teacher, especially at teaching the kiddies. She is everything that is lovable and kind and it is worth your while to make her acc|uaintancc. She has large eyes that fairly sparkle when she talks. They seem to say, I want you for my friend. Some say she uses them to advantage. W ' e wonder. Afiriam is very fond of poetry and music, especially the latter. Thev form one of her chief means of diversion. May joy be with you wherever you may go is the earnest wish of the class of ' 26. DEBORAH STARR WATERS Catawissa High School Catawissa, Pa. Deb When one gets a look at Deb its very evident that shc s a good sport, but after one really knows her, well, it ' s decidedly more evident that she is four-square too. Every one loves our Deb — including her 7 B ' s in the Junior High School, and other pupils, also. No wonder, she ' s their little girl — or as we hear: maybe it ' s her hair-cut or perhaps it ' s just because she is just one of them. We certainly wish our Deb all sorts of good luck and happiness in teaching and otherwise — just to keep those blue eyes shining, no. not with mischief alone, Deborah, but with real happiness as well. r OLIVE WATTS Millersburg High School Millersburg, Pa. Ollie There is one girl whom every one knows and likes, and she ' s no other than our Ollie. It ' s true — she has frien ds and friends of whom she is very worthy because as it is often said. It takes a friend to make a friend. Although her popularity is a well es- tablished fact, she shines particularly with the male sex. As a heart-breaker she takes the prize. The poor Beau Brummels flock to her, only to be cold- ly turned down. Ollie is an ambitious sort. When- ever she has anything to do, she does it without hesitating. She never w?, tes time, and she does more in a few min- utes than most of us would do in the same number of hours. Instead of grumbling and fretting about her work, she goes at it cheerfully and willingly. Now. Ollie. if you hold to your policy of work while you work, and play while you play, success will surely come your way. Take with you our sincere wishes for success and happi- ness. ELLEN WHITEHOUSE Wilkes-Barre High School Wilkes-Barre, Pa Ellen Look who is here? It ' s the little white haired girl who sang in chapel. Did you say, can she sing? Well, 1 guess she can! Ellen was an active member in the Girls ' Glee Club and the Double Quartet. Ellen did not stay here many week- ends, but there was a method in her madness. She is particularly fond of Liberties and Hups. We do not blame you, Ellen. Stick to your good work. She has chosen the Primary Group, in which department we all know she will be successful, if she stays at teach- ing. Time will tell. Was she fond of feeds? Just men- tion eats and l- ' .llen was Johnny on the spot. The corner table in the annex surely would have been dull without our Ellen. Ellen had many, many friends. Her pleasing personality and kindness help to win them. Ellen ' s sport was bas- ketball. Her pleasing voice could be heard at any time except when lesson plans w ' crc on her mind. We extend the very best of luck, and success in whatever vou undertake. One Seventy One F = - JENNIE WHITENIGHT Bloomsburg High School Bloomsburg, Pa. Jennie Jennie is probably not known to most students at B. S. N. S., for she is a quiet and unassuming little lass. But. quiet as she may seem, she is endowed with the characteristic of conscientious- ness which played a great part in her success as a student teacher in the Junior High School. Jennie doesn ' t seem to express her likes and dislikes very freely, but she probably likes the song, The Little ' Dutch ' Garden particularly well. She cannot be blamed for that, however. Her one great worry seems to be that she will have to go away from home and teach, but Jennie, you will find that there are places just as nice as Bloomsburg. Jennie certainly has our wishes for all the success in life possible. Her friends may well say, Life has no pleasure nobler than that of friend ship. INEZ WINTERSTEIN Berwick High School MifflinviUe, Pa. Inez Inez is a very meek looking girl, but she is really just as mischievous as any girl we know. She believes that We girls must have our fun when she gets to the girls in the locker room. However. Inez does not believe in too much fun. for she is a studious .girl, and is always prepared when class time comes. We are glad she is spending her third year with us. She is a girl worth while, and a friend worth having, as she has many- desirable characteristics. Inez is interested in college, especially State. We wonder why? The class of 1026 wishes you lots of success and happiness in your future teaching. Inez. One Seventy Two Z v sr ■ WILMA FAE WOMMELSDORF Newport Twp. High School Wanamie, Pa. Fae Here is another one ol the jolly gang that came to us from Newport Twp. High School. Fae, as she is always called, is full of fun. Her numerous friends will tell you the same. During her two years stay with us she has won many friends through her hapiiy smile and pleasing personality. Whenever you hear a giggle and rush to the scene, you would always find Fae teasing some one. At the end of her first year we al- ways found Fae on the tennis court. We wonder why? — oh — well — she loved to play tennis and — it is an attractive game. Her second year was made hrightcr by the advance of one of the opposite sex. No need for blushing, Fae. Fae was always striving to make good and we know that she has thus far accomplished her goal. Though she was always on hand for a good time, she never entered any of her class- rooms unprepared. Well, Fae, here ' s wishing you success in all of your life- time undertakings. ALICE YODER Berwick High School Berwick, Pa. Alice Alice is one of the most loving and sympathetic girls in our class. Her sweet disposition and pleasant smile have helped to win her way into the hearts of every one. She is always ready to lend a helping hand, and noth- ing is too much for her. Besides these characteristics. Alice is a good all round student. However, she takes time for the social side of school life and has been the very suc- cessful President of the Mu Phi Sigma this year. We can wish nothing too high, too lofty, or too successful to Alice, one of our best pals, You arc sweet of disposition. You are loving, wise and kind; You are full of true affection, You cannot be defined. z One Seventy Three E m LU RUTH YOUNG Dorranceton High School Wyoming, Pa. Ruthie Ruthie was anotht-r one of the downtown girls whom wc wish we knew l)cttcr. Ruth forsook the busi- ness world and entered B. S. N. S. last year and then joined us the second semester this year. Although the at- traction at home is strong, we can read- ily sec that she won out. She could not get along without us. For some reason Ruthie is partial to Music and Gym. Her chief delight is in entertaining her room-mate with Loo-loos and Liza Jane. Ruthie is dili,gent and thorough in her school work and is consistently ef- ficient in all she attempts. She has chosen the Primary work as her field for activity. We are confident that Ruthie will succeed in whatever she attempts, and our best wishes go with her. MORJORIE ZEHNER Hazleton High School Sugarloaf, Pa, Marjie One of our most charming lair-haired damsels of the class of ' 26 is Marjorie Zehner. She has selected for her field in the work of teaching one of the most difficult groups — the Rural, and we heartily wish her every success in her teaching career. Speaking of teaching careers, they very often do not last long, as we are afraid will be the case of Marjie — but we wish you every success in that tield too. She is, by the way, deeply interested in Latin, especially ' irgril, with whom she is well acquainted: judging by the letters, candy, etc. If you want to locate Marjie come to Room ,i60. although her room num- ber is 359, She has manj- devoted friends in the dorm and is a beloved, respected member of that famous club the S. 1. K. We hope her future life is as happy as her life at B. S. X. S. proved to be. One Seventj- Four 3 E ,l(. SOPHIA M. ZELINSKI Newport Township High School Glen Lyon. Pa. Zosh Did you .say another Xtwportcr ? Yes. she is. Up on fourth floor annex stood 459, a favorite assemhlaRe for her Xewport friends. Zosh is distinguished from the oth- er meniliers of her crowd. by her towering stature the tallest of them all. Good things come in small packages? Xo. not in this case. If ever you need- ed ideas and assistance, Zosh would offer her kind help for she foamed over with knowled.ge and suggestions. Sophia thinks every one of her loyal friends are going to desert her after having followed the teaching profes- sion for several jears. We hope, S ' ihia. that they influence you to accept their views concernin.g the future for, per- haps, teaching may not prove to be a life-long profession for you either. Studiousness is a quality which can readily be applied to this girl. Her studies meant what she was aiming for, namely, to be a good school marm. And with this aim in mind she did her work well and diligently. With such desires and aims as Sophia reveals to us here at Normal she will certainly be a fine school teacher. MARGARET ZETTLE Center Township High School Berwick, Pa. Peg- Here is a girl who spends many hours in the library reading. Her fav- orite novel is Whatsoever we sow. How do we know: Well, we saw her reading in class one day, and she enter- tained us a while, too. She is one of the locker room gang and seems to be quite an entertainer. One of her chief pastimes is numer- ology and making up endings for let- ters. The name Bill seems to be her fav- orite gentlemen ' s name, although she refuses to tell us any more. We missed her this winter when she was snowed in for two days. Don ' t you think we should buy a snowplow and donate it to her for future use? Peg always knows her lessons and is valuable to her class. With all that she is a nice girl and we want her to alwavs be happy. One .Seventy Five JMI J 1 r ' LAURA ZIELINSKI Nanticoke High School Nanticoke, Pa. LuLu V ' , During the tir t year little was seen or heard of Laura except when she practiced her music, but her class standing at the end ot the year showed that she used her time to advantage. As a student, she is a consistent in the very real sense of the word. She is conscientious and has worked hard for the A ' s which she earned. A valuable reward is offered to any one who can supply information lead- ing to the fact that Laura ever looked even sideways at any of our Normal boys. But that doesn ' t say anything for we are sure that there is a profes- sor from a college in another city who claims some of her time. Laura, here arc our best wishes for success in life and especially in real- izing your ambitions. JESSIE ZIMMERMAN Berwick High School Berwick, Fa. Chick Chick is one of the bright Ber- wick bunch and her brightness is evi- dent in all the extra activities into w hich she enters, as well as in her scholastic standing. She is not only an Athletic Leader but a leader in every phase of her school life — not saying a word about eating. Chick has always been a good sport in every sense of the word, be it in the classroom, on the basketball court, tennis court, or in the gym. where she often officiated at the piano in place of an orchestra, so that we might enjoy dancing after dinner eve- nings. She was a familiar figure in Dramatic Club and all other school functions. Chick was often seen about the halls in the company of a certain young gentleman. We admire her choice of friends very much. No. we will not tell his name. No need for blushing. Chick. Chick has quite made up her mind that she will be an old maid school teacher, but of this we have our doubts. However, we are quite sure that she will be a success in whatever field she may choose to enter. One Seventy Six S EVELYN ZIMMERMAN Ringtown High School Ringtown, Pa. Zimmy Concerning Evelyn ' s history, there is only one fact we ' re sure of and that is that she was born. However, further investigation oflFers more points. Zimmy spent only one semester in the dorm — we enjoyed her company, and her departure made us realize that we ' d like to know her more. She is the personification of that adage. Pa- tience is a virtue. Proof — those af- ternoons she sat on the campus wait- ing for that red roadster. Her vivacity, dark, curly hair, and sparkling, daring eyes are real snares for persons or per- son of the opposite sex — and they or he become her slaves or slave (We ' ve used the singular through there be- cause of the repeated visits of one cer- tain man to this place). These same traits of personality win for her a place also among females and the kiddies who have been taught by her. As to her outlook on life — she views the world through a rosy mist and spills jazz and sunshine wherever she goes — . Here ' s love and luck. Zinimv! S DORIS REES B. S. N. S.. ' 27 Our Departed Friend Its fruit a tree lifts to heaven, A sacrifice therefrom to take. For the best it has is for Jesus. -■ nd it willingly gives all for his sake.

And lets only her love for the rest. l One Seventy Seven JV t± b Obiter Staff EOISON 1). James A.

' I ii-litv ll ' lf ORGANIZATIONS The Debating Club 111 4 As you all know this school ranks first in all it undertakes, bs it athletics, education or any other line of activity, . nother step in advance for this school was the formation of the debating club. This organization was organized so recently that it cannot be immediately pronounced a success, but its live, energetic members ask. onlv, to be given a chance and they will make it a success. The purpose of the club is, to promote better speech, to enable the members of the club to appear before an audience without that age old enemy, stage fright, to enable them to put forth a sound, worth- while argiuuent. to prepare them for impromptu speaking and to pre- pare them for their work in life as school teachers. The club, organized January, 1926, is under the management of Miss Alice Johnson, oral expression teacher of this school. She acts as critic, supervisor and director of the club ' s activities and a better one could not be found. The club, at its first meeting, decided to have only two officers, a president who was to act as chairman in all debates, and a secretar - to keep a record of the proceedings of the club. The present officers are : President ------ Willi.am Svvinehart Secretary ------- Mvkti.e Tkemblev One Ei rlity Three V. Ul m Claire M. Conway MISS t I.AIKI. M. (, ( ).

As Dean of Women, her policy is: Help every girl to develop into as useful a woman as possible; useful to herself, to her profes- sion, and community.

It is interesting to know just how he set about this task. W hen talking to the hoys after his a])pointment, he said, We must create a sense of loyalty, loyalty in its broadest sense, to ourselves, home and the school. Willi such a quality you young men of this institution will develop morally, mentally and spiritually, and will ac(|uire all the attributes of real men. Let us treat North Hall as our Home and govern ourselves accord- ingly. As Dean of Men I will do nothing more than act as head of the household. If you have troubles bring them to me and I will try to straighten them out. With this spirit almost instantly arising among the men, we tind North Hall better than it has ever been. Mr. Keller does not want to take all the credit for the smooth way in which we have gotten along because he believes without the hearty co- operation of the men we could have never done so well.

W. C. A. At tlie middle of the tirst year the Seniors of ' 25 passed the lighted torch on to us, the Seniors of ' 26. It has been with pride and joy that we have clierished it and held it high. Ljist year a number of select and earnest speakers gave us talks that pn ed to be heli)tul and most interesting to the student body. During this year the interest of our regular jjrayer services has been kept u]) by a aric(l and most fascinating program. The members of the faculty have at different times spoken to us on the problems of every day life. Various types of entertainment have added interest to the meetings. ( )ur discussion meetings have also been of great interest to the girls. At the beginning of the year the Y Welcome went over big. Every student attended and lircathed a sigh of regret when it drew to an end. Tlie nicniberslii]) has been almost doubled this year. Little needs to be said of our Japanese Bazaar, which was a success socially and financially. The gym was transformed into the land of the Orient with the fragrance of incense and (ieisha maidens tripping about their dainty booths, selling their charming wooden and china ware. Conferences! The joy of our girls. Little can words express the benefit the girls received who attended the conferences at Kutztown and Eagles Mere. The girls returned from these conferences benefited indi- vidually and ins]Mred to carry on the work in the Y. . C. .A. Our Y of which we are so proud has been a success. This we owe largely to our president and our dear faculty advisor. Miss Mason. We all love her and her efforts have been untiring. One Ninety Eight =z I I n - i 1 Y. W. C. A. Officers fuiitli Morris.

In the year 1924-25. a group of dramatic eTitluisiasts drew up a constitutifm, and today the clulj is a group of talented actors and actresses. The duh is directed hy Miss Alice Joiinston of the Normal faculty. The club puts on an annual jjroduction which is already being looked forward to from year to year by the public. The first production, given May 22, 1925, was a great stage success in New York and London but a greater in Bloomsburg. It was Pomander Walk, and the cast con- sisted of tiio cream of the schoolV personnel. The great work of the chil). however, lies in the weekly productions for members only. These plays are chosen, directed, acted, produced by the students. . few of these have been presented to the student body. Some real ability has been discovered through them. The club has had a distinguished list of officers. They are changed every semester. J he presidents have been drier Riemer. George Jannell. . rch . ustin. Jack Rowlands, respectively.

The action of this play centers around the clock, in which the young people hide, in order to confuse the stern Puritan father and also the stern Puritan suitor wlio choice for his daughter.

The Wonder Hat. a fantasv bv Ben Hecht and Kenneth Goodman, was presented. The action of this plav took place on an e ening in the woods. Contrary to the usual themes of Harlequin plays in which Pierrot and Columbine are united, this play made Harlequin successful in obtaining the affections of Columbine. The cast of this play : Harlequin ---------- Paul Lansche Pierrot ----------- John Ke illv Bunchinello. an old peddler ------ Hugo Rei.mer Columbine --------- Pearl Hagenbuch Margot. Columbine ' s companion Marv Lee Roberts At least ninety Juniors aided in making these plays a success.

Tiic project is ])Urely c-(hicalioiial ; the films of the plav are hciiiff sent to all the towns from which tiie school draws students and ici educational centers and conferences. Since the plays were started three years ago by I ' rofessor (jeorge J. Keller they have set a new standard of jilays for their ty])e and each one has been presented before appreciative audiences. Some of the ])lays were witnessed by record breaking crowds for amateur ])rofluctions. This year ' s performance was exceptionally good and Ur. Reimer and i ' rofessor Keller decided to have it lilmed. The jirojcct is the biggest thing nf its kind ever attempted here or at an_ - other school circles. It rei|uire(l twcj ninnths to fdm the ])la_ ' and all the work was done outside of school hours. The him comjjlete re(|uired about 6,000 feet and cost ajjijro.xi- mately $1,000. This figure is (juoted as additional cost o er and above the initial e. ])enditure of the play it,self. ' file fdm sIkjws more than the finished product. It presents the work on the scenery, the costume designing, the jjrinting of the tickets, posters and all other ]irojects leading up to the production. Tu this work practically all of the students of the Xormal . school had a jiart and they are shown in the films. Uer 150 (if the training scluiol were used. .Many uf the scenes were taken at the Normal School and all of the school buildings were shown, forming an introduction to the play. Local homes were used as settings for the scenes, and it is the first play ever to be made here for the niotidii pictures. The values which can be derived from a project .so wide in scope as this are self evident, and we ;ire truly impressed with the fact that Cinderella is the greatest factor the school has jiroftered toward the fulfillment of its ideal that art is power.

The Seniors immediately took the bit in their mouths and the first Chapel period of the second semester had a student as chapel leader, a student as song leader, and a student at the piano. Since then every day has seen students lead- ing and students on the program. The Juniors also started aiid had musical programs, speeches, and novelties. This arrangement has given the faculty plea- sure and the student body a valuable experience. Many students appeared on the platform who had never before thought of the possibilities and many others are now experts. This idea is a step ahead in school management and gives every student a chance for play of initiative and exhibition of novel abilities. An investigation has shown that no other school has, as yet. reached our standard. We are pioneers in the lieid of a more socialized school. The students are proud of them- seKes and of their school, that it stands high.

The dance given them was a huge success and was t.istiU decorated by our .irtist, .Mr. Keller. The huge football in the center of the floor was not only uni(|ue but clever. Neither is St. Nicholas neglected. We danced joyfully around a large Christmas tree set in the center of the floor. It injected Yuletide cheer and good- will into us all. . nd then, of course, the Seniors always celebrate.

This year we have added a ])age titled mistakes. All con- cerned in this grouping arc ictims of chance, such being the method hy which liiey are ])aired off. We thought this a better plait than grouping the — life — couples under the same title. . rranging the snap shots was an easy task, the credit is due the students for their hearty co-operation. The staff also took it upon itself to send its ])hotographer out after the snaps of the faculty members.

This combination he taught to combine a su])erl) offense with an almost im- penetrable defense, using a style of play never before seen in this school, ' ihey delighted till- .ludience that jjacked the gymnasium to watch them play. We opened our season at home with West Chester Normal as our o])i)onents. The (j]j])osing teams, although much taller than our team, was iniable to ac- complish much against the sure shooting of our warriors. The following night we took -Shippcnsburg over in a tight game, but lost two hard games to our ancient rivals, Wyoming Seminary, but atoned for this by defeating Indiana State Normal School in the first Ijasketball contest staged between these two schools. Lock llaven bowed to ns as did Dickinson Seminary. J ' he team sulTered to a large extent about the middle of the season because of injuries. It was dejjrived of the service of Sack because of illness. But this only caused the boys to work harder and they pulled out of the rut in a praise- worthy manner. Credit must be gi en to the Junior ' ;irsitv for the tine s])irit they showed and for the excellent record they made during the season. Coach Jackson had a line second team composed of Davis, ' arashefski, Reimer. Hawkins. Stoker, McGrath, and Johns. The teams were efticientiv managed bv Professor Nelson and James A. (. ' (lursen. ilh many handicajis to o ercome, the boys struggled night after night until they had ])erfected themselves. Thev worked hard so that they might become a team that RIoomsburg might be proud of. From an experienced live they de- veloped into a smooth-working aggregation that knew not how to quit fighting. Much of the blame for the games they lost can be given to the conditions under which they were forced to play while on their tri])S.

In this meet Bloomsburg won more lirst ]}laccs than either of the other teams. Walsh won both the hundred and two hundred twenty ard dashes. Schwall took first place in the high juni]i. the discus and the jaxelin throws. Kanyuck was the victor in the high hurdles, second in the low hurdles and tied for third place in the high jump. Jenkins was tie for third in the high jump and was fourth in the high hurdles. Kazlusky was second in the discus. Zevenev was fourth in the four-forty. Reimer won both the half-iuile and the mile. Welli er was fourth in the low hurdles. Kanyuck was selected as ca])tain of the team and he showed his mettle on both track and field.

An invitation meet from the start, the event has growni so powerful in state basketball circles that schools now ask for jiermission to enter their teams. Last year and the year before, on account of the number of schools entered, the tournament was run strictly on an elimination basis. Last vear the tourney was won by Taylor High School.

Two •nlirl • Eight y ' y 1 I I I R Football — Seniors vs. Juniors m In a sea of niiul and a downpour of rain they battled, clawing, biting, digging they fought from one end of the held to the other. Xeither side was able to score until Brunozzi, thinking he was picking up a lump of mud, threw it at Mathews. It stuck against his jersey. He thought the Seniors were getting too rough and so he began to run toward Science Hall, bm he trijiped and fell after he had crossed the goal line. The ball was lost and they had to hold the game up until they found it. .After a long hunt, they discovered that it was hidden in the lump of mud that Brunozzi threw at Mathews. The Seniors were determined to win so they gave the ball to Nick Van- Buskirk. He buried himself under the mud and squirmed half the length of the field. He was on his way for a touchdown, but Brunozzi happened to see him. He told the rest of his team and thex- hurriedly Ijuilt a stone wall in front of Xick. for that was the only way they could stop him. The .Seniors, seeing that fate was against them, determined to battle against all odds and tried an aerial attack. They were very successful but wdiile on their way for a sure touchdown the whistle blew and the game was ended.

Always come late. Tell the Prof. ou were studying so hard you didn ' t hear the bell. Tlvat will please him. 2. If you do not understand certain ques- tions, ask your next-door neighbor. Do not annoy the Prof. 3. Never write in ink. Hard pencils make the best impression on the Prof. 4. Do not answer all the questions. The Prof, in charge wants you to make a choice even though he forgets to mention it. 5. If you don ' t know the answer to a question, bluff it. It is always gratifying to the instructor to discover a spark of originality in a student. 6. If possible, kxik on the next fellow ' s paper. Then correct any errors on your own. It will help the Prof, greatly, as he will liave less to correct. 7. Above all. doit ' t sign your name on your paper. It will furnish the Prof, some amusement to .guess who it is. 8. Co-eds should smile sweetly, and when- ever possible tickle the Prof, under the chin before the examinations. z: Two Forty Five _ «- JOKES — - ' B. S. N. S.

Appolo and his fiiry stCL ' ds started their (hiy ' s journey earlier than they usually lid. The campus, uhieh was covered with dcwdrops. re- sembled a monster cornucopia spilling its contents of prismatic color, life and laugh- ter. The whole school spun in a golden glow like imprisoneil notes racing to come out of tlie month nf .1 monotone Junior. Stu- dents rushed to and from classes, (those who attended) and everybody was greeted with a cheery Good Morning. Everyone was as busy as kiss timers in a moving-picture studio, preparing to make this affair the biggest and best in the his- tory of the in lilution. Then came the hour of the pmni. The dining room was iirovided with most luxurious decorations. Ponderous crystal- dripping chandeliers vied with sparkling diamonds hung from the ceiling. Cut flow- ers scented the room with langorous per- fumes. From behind a frond of palms floated the refrains of Neil (iuilliam ' s Palace Royal Orchestra. It was going to he a great night. Dccollette gowns shimmered with the rainbow irridescence of butterfly wings. Fans and colored ribbons fluttered gently like whiskers dropping on a barber-shop floor. Tuxedo ' s and diamond studded shirts also added color to the brilliancy of the aflfair. . lew of the gentlemen who wore rented uniforms looked like accidents going some place to happen. The room was as crowded as a bathroom medicine chest. Everybodx in the world seemed to he there. The girls seemed to hang on to their boy friends like sapho kisses. The stags were as popular at this affair as snakes are in a St. Patrick ' s Day Parade. The strains of a .soft sensuous waltz floated lazily over the room, and a thousand commingled perfumes hung in the air like the too .sweet scent from some night flower that drugs the senses. On the fl ' K r the crowd moved as though swayed by one rhythmic impulse. The Normal School was caroling its An- nual .Anthem of unrestraint. The floor was ankle dee)) in confetti. Horns and laughter split the air. A few girls who were all decked out to kill stood in the doorway with faces as long as winter nights in Norway waiting for their brothers or sweethearts. They, no doubt, felt like something somebody had ordered and forgotten to call for. Somebody shouted, More Wind and the students ran toward the person so fast tliat they would make Nurmi look like a snail in low gear. The night was as wet as alumni day is at State College. About midnight whispered tautness began to loosen and gentle smiles reached a cre- scendo of ribald giggles. Formality sloughed away as the weird, uncanny, jazzy (call it what you like) strains of Hotsy Totsy ])oured forth from the instruincnts of the musicians. By this time everyone was hav- ing a hot time. Fox-trots became taboo and every couple was doing the Charles- ton. Some of the girls would make Gilda (iray look like a baby six months old trying to walk a tight rope. It was nearing day- break. And then she arrived 1 There was tliat sli,ght pause tliat an over- whelming personality brings to any gather- ing: the sli.ght intake of breath that in a seance room presages a presence : Every- body was so still tliat you could hear the moths gnashing their teeth in the borrowed tuxedos. She stood for a swish of seconds in the doorway while several men and wo- men hastened to greet her. She held her head high like a princess and looked around tile room. A poet would compare her to Joan of Arc. The prom ended — quick, pronto! Two Forty Eight 2: 3 i=E JOKES Continued For the Qood of B. S. N. S. m 1.
