3 1 m Junior Class C)n Srpti ' mliLT 14, tlic lari ' csl juiiidr ( la---- in this school ' s history entered Bloonisburg State Normal School. 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 .

ui lU m IT Lon , Long Ago ' 111 llu ' cry (listaiu past, on a certain Monday niorniiif; in Scpteni- Iier, about three hundred young men and women boarded trains in arious cities, and towns and villages. 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.
