LMJ VOLUME Xll NINETEEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SEVEN ®l or ni To Aman Zeller Schoch Whose interest in our Alma Mater, and outstanding work as a public personality has made him an exam- ple for us, we gratefully and lovingly dedicate this twelfth volume of our Obiter T ? )( =s %CW T)( ) EJ Aman Zeller Schoch His interest in education has made li nn a friend to every scholar. fl jMAN ZELLER SCHOCH, to whom we affectionately dedicate our ZS M. volume of the Obiter, was born in Franklin Township, Snyder County. Pennsylvania. When he was sixteen years of age he be- came a teacher at the little home school, and stayed at that profession for three years. His yearning for a better and broader education led him to give up his position as teacher and become a student at Susquehanna University then known as Missionary Institute. From there he went to Dickinson Sem- inary at Williamsport and received his well earned diploma in 18(33. After severing his connections with the Thirtieth Regiment of Penn- sylvania Emergency Troops, with which he was affiliated during Lee ' s in- vasion, he settled down in the Flour and Feed business at Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. In 1882 Ik came to Bloomsburg and was immediately recognized as a superior person. With absolute trust and confidence the townspeople gave him high and honorable public positions. He was president and general manager of Bloomsburg Heating Company, and the School Furnishing ( ' pany. He served as a director of the First National Bank and the Bloomsburg Water Company. He was also an organizer as well as the first president of the Bloomsburg National Bank and the Bloomsburg Hospital, which was organized as the Joseph Ratti Hospital. In 1899 he was made a trustee of the Bloomsburg State Normal School. His work as a trustee of our Alma Mater was outstanding, and so in 1893, his fair dealing and extraordinary accomplishments gained a higher glory for him, and he was made president of our institution. So, you see. we have chosen to dedicate our Obiter to one who in him- self is an example for our class. His progress and attainments stand out as beacon lights to show us what a sound mind and a willing worker can accomplish. His interest in fields of education endears him to US for we feel that having been a school teacher he is and will be for our cause. It is with regret that many of our classmates admit that they do not have a speaking acquaintance with Mr. Schoch. Many of us have a mere visual acquaintance with him, but that is not because we wished it to be so. The favored few who knew him well speak highly of him. Those who did not know him personally regret their ill-luck. However, it is with a whole-hearted wish that he may have fondest memories of our love and respect for him. and with the friendliest of feel- ings that we gladly dedicate our Obitkh to so well deserving a ma?!. Wm ' = g 3 a4n oAppreciation of Prof. F- H- Jenkins Y the tall of 1925 when a large majority of the class of 1927 entered the Bloomsburg State Normal School for the first time, a man who had given H years of faithful work to the school he loved so well was retiring from active service. This man was Professor Francis II. Jenkins. In speaking of the years spent at the Normal School Prof. Jenkins says. They have meant much to me. I tame here a hoy of 18. I am now a man of 70. All my life from IS to 70 has been lived here except eight years. I have been privileged to work, anil I like nothing ' better than work. My wife and I have our home, made possible through our earnings here — a home that we love and hope to keep as long as we live. What more could one ask for? I could not ask for No one who watches the summer sun as it slowly sinks behind western hills can fail to wonder at and In- impressed by the beauty of its afterflow. So are we im- pressed by the influence of Professor Jenkins. To the Normal School he has given much in strength and de- voted effort. In days of need the school never had a better friend. The institution is better because of the excellence of Ins service to it. After these years of honorable service, we want him to know that we appre- ciate what his efforts mean to us and to classes to come.

Reorganization of formal School OX .rune f. 1926, the Council of Education of the Commonwealth en- dowed eight of tin- State normal schools with the privilege of granting the degree of B.S. in Education. Application for this privilege had been made in accordance with the requirements of the Council. It had been necessary to give in detail facts concerning the grounds, the buildings, the equipment, the faculty, the students, the training-school facilities, and the Financial status of the institution for the fiscal years 1925-1926. The faculty received the must careful scrutiny. All its members had to meet the minimum requirements set by the Council, to the effect that every teacher should have, after September 1. 1926, at least a bachelor ' s degree and two years of experience. Fortunately the Bloomsburg State Normal School was able to meet this requirement with hut two or three changes. This reorganization of the Normal School has entailed some revision of the curricula. One year was added to the three-year course for prospec- tive junior-high-school teachers; and two years to the two-year courses for teachers in the elementary field. The former course leads to a 15. S. in Education in secondary education; the latter, to a B.S. in elementary education. Till ' Normal School will, however, continue its regular two year courses for prospective teachers of the elementary grades. It will also give the regular three-year course to those prospective teachers of the Junior High School, who registered for this course prior to September. 1926. With this revision have come higher standards of admission. The Normal School no longer admits students who are not graduates of ap- proved four-year high schools, or who have not proved to the Department of Public Instruction that tiny possess equivalent training. It is clear that the Bloomsburg State Normal School is now on a college liasis. All of its teaching is of college grade; it offers four years of work: its graduates from these courses will receive degrees. The Normal School is now a Teachers ' College. 2T § - - «= ' - „ - v I - ' - j 7i |E$ ' - ik s 4iitn yj JNSS: -. i iP ljfl PI !.t ' J ,: i ADMINISTRATION , ' - ssisj cg s S ' Bloomsburg, Bloomsburg, Bloomsburg Normal Up on Normal Hill Tbhi o ® nr in i $ E3 $ The foundation of every slate is tin- educati of its youth ZVpproacb to formal l DI $ XXL ® TTT Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring- Back and fourth the season swing ' UnstltuU TKall JU I § $ Education alone can conduct us to that enjoyment which is, at once best in quality and infinite in quantity lrU ' JDormitor? l no: IflJ S Y, all, I Hi tongue or with And I sometimes have asked, Shall we ever be men?

The remainder of our sojourn .-it Bio sburg has given us time, though not ample time, to love him. When we entered our Alma Mater in September of 192S we vrr - in- dividually impressed with the smiling, pleasant instructor who we heard was Professor !• ' .. II. Nelson. So when it came time to decide upon our class advisor no debating was necessary. With one accord we proudly and unanimously elected Professor Nelson. Needless to say. we have never since had cause to regret our wise choice. Whenever we had ideas that we thought would benefit our class we carried them to our advisor. His unfailing ' interest and patience always aided us in making our plans work successfully for the good of our class. To him we owe much of the credit for the success of the class of ' 27. Not only did we find him to he a competent advisor, hut also a true and worthy friend. To him we carried our sorrows or joys when we were blue or overjoyed. No matter how we felt before talking to him. we always departed from a friendly chat with him feeling that we had one true pal whose interest was always ours. We had the pleasure of being his students, too. In class his subtle humor and winning smile helped us overcome whatever obstacles might arise, and it was with keen .anticipation that we looked forward to his meet- ings with us. Now that we are about to leave our Alma Mater it is with none but the warmest of feelings ami deepest of regrets that we bid adieu to Professor Nelson, our beloved advisor, instructor, and friend. 2T TED ®l ' Not So Long Ago ' tA II Y do they .ill pick on Freshie ? This is a question that is easily V r answered. The Freshie shall never forget that answer, and never wishes tn forget it. Those days of green ribbons, black dinks, plus tin- black and blur marks are days of bliss in every college graduate ' s iieart. We have served under the hand of upper classmen. We think that it has been our duty to have been the most harshly treated class of all. In fact, we will always remember that it was our class that answered to tin- call of customs at Bloomsburg for the first time in its history. The above statements may be true, but they shall never be regretted. We were taught many lessons and profited by those teachings. Customs wen very small compared with the other wonderful feats entered into by our class during our first year. We have excelled socially, mentally, morally, and physically. Our class organized in a very short time after our entrance. Our offi- cers were certainly well qualified for leadership. They captained our progress socially in fine order. After a few social affairs were given in our honor we decided to have a ' Kid Party. The event was voted a suc- cess by all. The costumes and program were well arranged by the chair- man and committee. Due to a school tradition we were allowed to show our talent at dramatics. We placed Come out of the Kitchen before a well-pleased audience. Our big gala occasion came at our Prom. McHale ' s Collegians furnished music to a colorful crowd of students and guests. Decorations. they were artfully chosen with a perfect blend of color, music, and swaying dancers. Our athletes showed ability in all sports. Varsity, class, and club activi- ties were very much added to by their entrance into the various sports. Our intellectual and moral standards have been high. We must give much credit to our faculty guardianship. They have led us even higher and showed us flu paths to success. We, th, Senior class of 1927. are aiming to become better men and women due partially to our life as Fresh- men in this institution.

A fair blonde with blue eyes answers Mid ' s description. Last year she came to our midst a very quiet serious girl. Tin- many friends which sin- lias made have found that under her seriousness she is a good sport and full of fun. She is very studious and always places her work first, hut after the work is done who could wish for a better ami finer companion? Mid is a member of the Alpha Delta Zeta Sorority id ' which organization she is one of Ihe directresses. Our sorority parties would not have been complete this year if we had not heard her con tagious laugh. The Y. W. has profited with Mid as one of its members, be- cause sin- has given it much of her time. Her interest seems to he centered around an Karl anil he doesn ' t come from England either. Her lovely disposition, quiet manner, earnestness and loyaltj to her work have won for her many friends. We an- sure the teaching profession will be proud to claim her. Mav Dame Fortune light her paths in tlie future which lead to happiness and success. LOUIS ROBERT ALIMENTI Old Forge High School old Forge, Pa. Louie Whv do the frirls stop and inquire. Who ' is that fellow:- Oh. that is Louie! Every one knows him. Those who haven ' t seen him have certainly heard of him. The above portrait will vouch for that. If that is not enough. the living proof may he viewed at any dance that l.ouie may he able to go to, and he never misses one. If danc- ing is the music of the body, Louie is certainly a wonderful singer. l.ouie seems advancing in the art of the stage, lie is a regular member of the Bloomsburg Players. With such ■i recommendation and the art of danc- ing we will not he surprised at a new find for Hollywood, being no other than our Louis Robert Alimenti. During Louie ' s tirst year at Xormal he seemed to pay very little attention to anyone of the opposite sr ; no, not to any particular one. In fact, he seemed to like them all. Alas! there came a day in the fall of ' 2.5 when a charming young person entered the school. Then the friend of all became a specialist in the art of admiration. Since that fatal day the modern Romeo, under the alias of Louie, spends much of his time in attention to the whims of hi. ®l UL M £? s DAISY ALLEMAN Bloomsbuhg High School Bloomsburg, Pa. Mickey She is a jollj kid anil a good sport. Mickey is a good worker and is al- ways readj to do anything asked of her. She is quite interested in the Dramatic Club and the Interpretive Reading Club. She lakes an aetive part in both. Mickey made lier debut in the local lalent minstrel Lady Purple which was given this irar. She is an excellent comedian, as she is very witty and thinks very quickly. Mickey has taken part in many of the Dramatic- Club plays and other school activities. Sin- has chosen the teaching of the children in the primary grades for her life ' s wurk. She has been very success- ful in her practice teaching, and we feel certain she will he just as successful in her own school. Because id ' her person- ality she has many friends, and the children are verj fond of her. Well, best of luck.

NORINE NEHILL AMESBURY Wii.kks-Barre High School Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Nora Sweet, vivacious, witty, and red-haired — it would take a great many more ad- jectives to describe Nora hut these will produce a general impression. Nora comes from Wilkes-Barre, a fact which becomes evident after just a few min- utes conversation with her. Her chief characteristics are: a tendency to like knowledge at a distance: great amb- itions the highest being to sleep until twelve o ' clock some day, and a gener- osity that endears her to everyone. Nora is a charter member of Phi Gamma Tau, and has helped to make I he launching of the new organization a success. She als, belongs to the Wilkes- Barre Club. One of her ambitions is to become an opera sinjrer. If you wonder at this, ask her — she ' ll tell you her story. Red, as she is sometimes known, is always among those present when the Wilkes-Barre Gang i. r ocs somewhere or does something. It is trite but true to say that no affair would tic complete without her. When Wild Nell was produced, Nora nobly did her part as one of the Indians. It is impossible to appreciate her until vou know her — and a great many of us know her. ® to ml ELIZABETH AMSTADT Berwick High Schooi lie- r wick. I ' m. Betty Elizabeth, better known as Betty, is one of the little girls of our class. Her black eyes, curly hair, and optimistic dis- position win for her many friends. Al- though Betty is a Berwick commuter, she prefers dorm life instead of the locker-room. This is because sin- spent her first year in the dorm and lias many friends there. During this year she contributed much to the good time connected with dorm life, for Betty ' is a good sport and loves a good time. This does not mean that she neglects her studies, for she is a conscientious worker and very much interested in he- work. For this reason, Betty. we fed sure that you will make an excellent teacher for the little kiddies. Although Betty sometimes comes to us on the 1ms, she can not saj thai it gives her very good service. Too bad. Betty, that ' the right tins does not al- ways stop for you. Betty has found a remedy for this difficulty, for she now comes in a private car. It is doubt- ful whether Betty will follow the course of teaching very long, but we wish you the best of luck in whatever you decide to do. HELEN I. ANDREWS Si.atin-gto.v High School Slatington, Pa. Andy Sleep, sleep, sleep, How I hate to sleep. This is what the girls on third floor think of Andy. She is the alarm clock for most of the third floor, and we think she has carried some of this pep into the Alpha Delta Zeta Sorority of which she is a beloved member. Andy is also chairman of the Social Service committee for the Y. W. C. A., and we know ,,l at hast ..ne heme whose Christmas was made happier by her work. The -iris used to ask why Andy was always seen hurrying down town second period Wednesday afternoons. That was all explained when they found out she was a member of the Sewing Club, because, you see. she never remembered to buj material for her next lesson. Andy was seen on the tennis court quite often last fall. We understand that she made out well in the Senior Ten- nis Tournament. She was one of the first out for basketball, too. Andy has several weaknesses, among which arc: Studebaker Sedans, nurses, many cous- ins, anil last, but not least, a never dying love for Psychology. In fact, Andy we hand it to you as a good representation of an all-around girl. w he n n RUTH ANTHONY Newport High School Glen Lyon, Pa. Spiff I meeteth her li, r No one!! For if ever there was a good-natured and jolly girl, it is our Spiff. Without her humor the Alpha Delta could not survive; the Y. V. cab- inet would be flat as far as music is concerned, and the U and I club would be doomed to an early and tragic death. Spiff seems to have earned the rep- utation (outside of 283) of being studious. We can vouch for this in only one way. Spiff claims that she has seen the sun rise more mornings than we believe it has really risen. As a floor supervisor Spiff is the marvel of the age. Were you ever fooled by a voieer We ' ve la-en. ' When we first heard that sweel soprano voice calling Lights out, please.  e thought it meant anything hut business. But — just try keeping your lights on. and you ' ll soon find that voices are very deceiving. Nothing need he said here about Spiff ' s famous laugh ; it speaks for itself. Her favorite saying when look- ing i 1 1 a mirmr is. Oh. Ruth, you ' re SO beautiful lime goes ,m. and man} words must he left unsaid, hut those words will al- ways remain in the minds and hearts of those who now join in wishing her tin 1 success we an- sun- will he hers. MERTEL APPLEMAN Danville High School Danville, Pa. Mert Here is another of our girls whose appearance denotes modesty and quiet- ness: hut we find appearances deceiving, because Mert is always present when Ave have fun in the 400 suite. She is quiet — yes — hut in a group of merry- makers she is sun- to do her part. ■ Mert is an active member of the Geographic Society. She belongs to the .1. .1. C. ' S, a secret club formed last year. She is also a member of the famous •■ton- gang. Mert ' s favorite pastime is sleeping, eating, and reading — especially reading. She never complains of having nothing to do. for she reads in all her spare time. Mert is conscientious in her work, and man; a time the gang had to scoot when she made up her mind to study. Mert shows promise of making a splendid teacher. However, we know she will not always teach school, for there are other things in life. Now. doTl ' t get excited, because she expects to specialize and. perhaps, travel. l TTC HH TEE This We GLADYS AUMILLER Hartley Township High School Laurelton, Pa.

She joined us at Bloomsburg in the summer of 1924. This has been her first winter here; yet she enjoys our sports, for she is always ready to join us on hiking expeditions. Gladys is never worried by such trifles as lessons, her motto is: Never worry, Never fret. Get what you can nd can what you get. Look out. you ' ll knock that picture down; now you ' ve kicked up the rug; Oh, Gladys, can ' t you he careful? Such arc some of the admonitions which Gladys receives while doing her daily dozen. Such a happy and alert person could not do other than succeed. Good luck, Gladys, and best wishes! ARCHIE AUSTIN Vii.ki:s-Hahre High School Beaumont, I ' a. Skipper Arch In the year of ' . ' I there was ushered into our midst a lanky blonde youth, known to us as Archie. Prior to his coming here Arch spent his last two years at Wilkes-Barre High School. Soon in him were found such qualities as calmness, perseverance, broad-minded- ness — all of which made him very out- standing. The year Arch spent at Wilkes- Barre High School was a glorious one for him in that lie was developed into an athlete of remarkable ability. The three years that he has spent with us have proved the former statement because he is one of the few four-letter men that line been turned out at this institution. Although he did very good work on the gridiron, basketball court, and on the I rack, the sport in which he excelled was baseball; and due to his ability he was an aspirant for the captaincy in ' 26. One great characteristic of Arch was his fondness for the weaker sex, but for I he past year his efforts have been cen- tralized on one certain young lady. Whenever the fellows would congregate in a room to discuss the best looking girl in the school, all that Archie ever vouch- safed was OCR Here and the mean- ing of this was generally understood by all. Success be yours in teaching, Arch, and Paddle your own canoe. 2H rrc H2 S £ I.EE W. BANGHART Berwick High School Berwick, Pa. Lefty As our memory drifts back to the fall of 192+, we see a young man coming into our midst. He is very shy and bashful; yet did we know that in less than the short period of our stay at B. S. N. S. this same young man was to become one of the social and business leaders of the locker-room? From the first he developed that fine spirit, which has been the known characteristic of Berwick boys. He can at times play a wicked hand at pinochle, the favorite pastime of the locker-room. His ability in this game gained considerable mention in the Ma- roon and Gold. Very rarely is there a social function at which he and a cer- tain ig lady arc not present. In the library, well those that know him have seen for themselves. Actions speak louder than words. He also distinguished himself as a pitcher in the memorable game between the locker-room and the faculty, but like most good men he had an off day — or was it poor support? He is also a member of the Geography Club. We all wish the best of luck to one of the business men of the Locker-Room. HANNAH BARKY Luzerne High Schoc Luzerne. Pa. Hannah ih is well-pleased wii pass ,at down and Hannah be- is not work that kills man, but worry. So she did not let music cause her death. Hannah does not believe in discussing a test after it is over. If anyone should say to her. Hannah, how did you like the test today? her answer would sure- ly be, Oh, gee, can ' t you talk about something pleasant? Hannah has a keen sense of humor. Tell her a story and her Irish wit will enable her to see the point while the rest of your audience sits in a daze. Did you ever hear Hannah laugh? One can ' t help laughing when she hears her laugh. Hannah must have a serious side to her nature, but she does not disclose it to us. All her worries and troubles belong to her: so why should she cast them on someone else? At least that seems to us to be Hannah ' s ideas about them. •w. n ' t omit Ha eography CI 2T m 93 £g| oM GERTRUDE ANNA BAUCHER Wilkks-Barhk Hicii School Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Gutch Will those who haven ' t yet purchased their art-exhibit tickets, please see me after chapel? There you have Gutch. The manner in which she handled the Art Exhibit reflected greal credil upon her litv The activities in which Gutch has taken part have shown her great versa- tility. As Mrs. Malliprop in ' The Ri- vals ' , the 1320 Dramatic Club play, she made a decided hit. Shi- also took part in a number of other productions, of which, perhaps, the most outstanding was Come Out p t the Kitchen, in which she took the part of Mandy, the old Southern mammy. Gutch is an enthusiastic tennis fan, an active basketball player, and a rabid rooter at the basketball and football games. In connection with activity it niusl be mentioned that Gutch is one of the Wilkes-Barre Gang. As she comes from the Diamond City, she is naturally a member of the Wilkes-Barre Club.

We all thought him very bright and found him to be so. We also found him to be very accommo- dating and willing to do things, especial- ly when it came to eating. In the course of time here, he became quite a hiker, especially when it came to football games which took him as far as Kast St muds- Then, too, there was an accident which marred his career here at Normal. At the close of the firs! semester of his Junior year he had his leg accidentally broken while placing basketball in gyin class. We sadly missed him when he left, but we were exceedingly glad when Harold seemed to be a universal favor- ite with the ladies here at Normal until Covell Street became known to him: then, to our amazement, his thoughts began lingering elsewhere.

We have found her to lie a er conscientious worker, not only in fulfilling her duties as Treasurer of the Club hut also in all her studies and other outside activities. too big for her when it comes to helping her fellow-sufferers. Why, the fourth floor girls even seem to think that Celia is their human alarm clock. Every night at ten. it ' s Celia. please wake me up early, and true to her word, she never fails them.

Celia has the perseverance to attain a successful Career and she has the well wishes of all her friends. NAOMI K. BENDER Suxbubv High School Sunbury, Pa. Nae This maiden came to us with the rush that entered here two years ago. She was just one of those pood natured girls who would give you anything that she had. Her pood nature won for her many friends whose companionship have made her life enjoyable. Like all pirls, she enjoys playing tricks on her roommates and it is the wisdom of these pranks that have made us sit up and take notice. She is a real student and distributes her time properly in applying herself to her work. She is seen in the library busily engaged in seeking material for her lesson plans. In her practice teaching, we know by her records and observations, that she has progressed wonderfully along that line. Her attitude toward her classwork and her ways all add to her success as a teacher. The friendships she has formed here and the little favors that she obliged us by doing have increased our love for her.

She can enjoy ;ill kinds of fun; and at oilier times, wheal serious business is al hand, she can lead all of us. Evidence of her leading ability can be shown in the Tau Phi Epsilon ' Sorority. She is a capable leader and president. Dramatics is nothing new to Irene. She can plan plays and direct casts with confident ease.

Ben Loie, better known to some of us as Ben. came to the Normal from the big town of Cataw issa. From all appearances she is a quiet and unassuming lass; but if you knew her, you would change your mind. She is the possessor of a pleasing personality, and since she has come to Normal, she has endeared herself to many of the students. Her art as a erilie is very highly de- veloped, especially on the opposite sex Although we have heard rumors about one of the locker-room hoys being inter- ested in her. we hardly can believe it! They say he is from Mainville. Loie is specializing in the Intermediate tirades. She is a hard worker and is considered a good student. She won hi nors at the Catawissa Hisrh School and also from the Normal School. She is Tiot only talented along artistic lines, but she is also talented along mu- sical lines, for she is a member of the Senior flirls ' Glee Club. Loie has been verj successful in all of her undertakings, and we predict she will make an ideal sch teacher. JAMES R. BITTENBENDER Berwick High School Lime Ridge, Pa.

Although Bittie is a commuter, he in- variably makes it his business to arrange his affairs in such a manner that lie will be aide to attend the Friday night after-dinner dances. He has a way wi ' at ol ' piano. He is a would-be woman hater, but nevertheless we assure you that he is a gentleman when we tell you that he pre- fers brunettes. Never mind Bittie — we like your taste. Bittie is very much interested In social work. In fact, lie is preparing to teach in that field in the Junior High School. He also has an active interest in ath- letics. This was shown in the never-to- be-forgotten Junior-Senior game when he as a guard stopped many plays that were headed for touchdowns. Bittie was also a member of our far-faincd double quartet and blew a hot trombone in the school orchestra. We wish Bittie success in any field of work that he undertakes. 3H or IK S3 t?

This is not the only club that Frances belongs to. She is a great lover of embroidery and now belong to Mis Edmunds ' Sew- ing Club. Frances is an industrious girl and a very good student. However, she does not spend all her time on her hooks, but she can enjoy a good time as well as any one of us. She never misses a trick and often takes part in playing them, especially on her friends ' birthdays. When it comes to feeds Frances was seldom absent— if it were only for noth- ing else but that cup of tea, even though she had lessons galore to do. She is known among the numbers of her own crowd for putting on the one- acl plays. She usually acts the part of the one who knows.

That is Nurmie. Don ' t mention study to her. She ' ll just shrug her shoulders and tell you that study will inner give her cause for worry. We wonder how. with this pro- cessed aversion to study, she easily holds her own in class. We ' d all like to know the scent of doing this without hard work. Nerm spends much of her spare time in reading and writing let- ters. Nn. they ' re Tint all from her mother, as she would have us believe. One of Nerni ' s chief activities is the Geography Club. She lias a great in- terest in this subject and never misses a meeting. Nurmic ' s greatesl diversions are dancing and going to the movies.

Therefore, it must follow, as the night the day. she belonged to the Wilkes- Barre Club, and was a charter member of Phi Gamma Tan. The Dramatic Club knew her well. Sports:- — Elsie likes tennis and is willing at any time to freeze to death rooting for the football team or roast to death cheering for the basketball team. The Victoria management will miss Elsie ' s steady patronage. Her artistic collection of movie heroes on the walls of her room testifies to her fondness for this form of recreation. How- can we sum up Elsie ' s interests? —Boh I! 2T LbU 7TTT ELSIE BOWER Berwick Hiob Schooi Berwick, Pa. Elsie- Crash! Zipp! Bang! Hold everything; Elsie ' s here.

Whenever you meet her. she is hum- mini. ' a merry tune. She is a lover of music. Her ability along this line is shown when she plays at the after-din- ner dances in the gvmnasium. As presi- dent of the Y. W. C. A. Ike Club, Millv displayed her musical talent ex- ceptionally well. Her avocation is athletics in which she is quite a star. When it comes to bas- ketball — watch her referee. We are eagerly awaiting the day when she will follow in Miss McCammon ' s footsteps. Milly has a desire to become a teacher in the public schools at Kings- ton. We often wonder why Milly has this desire to go to Kingston when her home is in Nescopeck.

BRACE Bloomsbukg High School Bloomsburg, Pa. Molly Here is another of Bloomsburg ' s pro- ductions. Molly is a favorite wherever she goes. She is always ready to join in the fun, perhaps that accounts for it. Molly is quite a necessity around the campus. She shines in dramatics; that is just one good reason. Consequently, she is a member of the Dramatic Club, and her ability was ably shown in the Junior Play. She is also a member of that sorority you bear so much about, the Phi Gamma Tau. That also proves her popularity. Molly is going to teach the Primary children at school. Now, look at her picture. Can you imagine her a school- marm? At any rate that is her one ambition: and so, of course, she will succeed, for whatever she tries, she al- ways comes out successful. Molly is also a good sport in out- side activities, and especially on the ten- nis courts. She is seen there batting away every day the weather permits. Consequently, she is quite a figure in the frequent tennis tournaments. We all know that lots more could be said of this girl, but we were not asked to write a book. We all are sure the class is back of Molly to wish her success and happiness. JOSEPH A. BRADSHAW Hanover Township High School Sugar Notch, Pa. Brad Although Brad hails from Sugar Notch be is a graduate of Hanover Township High School. He came to us as plain Joe but it did not take him very long to find his way around. He is a real student, and does not let up until he has accomplished what he once sets out to do. Because of this per- severance In- lias made rapid progress at B. S. N. S. Brad ' s popularity brought him out before his classmates and they did not hesitate in electing him vice president of tlie class in his Junior year. When the Juniors were putting on their annual class play he played an im- portant role. He then joined the Dra- matic Club and the next year was elect- ed its president. He was also an athlete. On the grid- iron his playing helped the team in scor- ing many a victory. On the baseball mound he stood out prominently. This could easily be seen because his team- mates did not hesitate in electing him captain. Many days were spent in good com- panionship with him, and we hope that in the future be will be remembered not only as an athlete but as a student as well. PEARL BROCHEY Catawissa High School Catawissa, Pa. Cass Pearl, also called Cass. hails from Catawissa. She is one of the few blondes who come from that section.

Jollity and an abundance of flesh seem to go hand in hand, and Pearl is blessed with both. Perhaps you wonder about Pearl ' s interest in men. Well, to end your wondering, ask Pearl to take you over to Catawissa to look over the new Ford models; then notice who Pearl looks at. A glance will prove sufficient Pear] take-, an interest in her class work and seems to enjoy doing so. We are fortunate in bavins; her in our Sen- ior Girls ' Glee Club.

Why, it ' s Brownie, of course. There are only two people in the dorm who have heels like that and she is both of them. ■Brownie ' ' believes that intellectual ac- tivity is conducive to longevity and so we see her name on the honor roll. She likewise loves to talk to people who ran understand her, «i she has joined the French Club to keep in practice. Brownie has a singing voice which is an asset to the Girls ' Glee Club. She is likewise an active member of the Mu Phi Sigma Sorority. Edna has been do- ing her best to make the Hiking Club a success. She always goes with them but how about the time she was left down along the river? She also enjoyed play- ing basketball. Almost anytime you vis- ited the gym during practice hours you could so- ln-r slender form gracing the floor, not always right side up, either. Edna is a beloved member of the music appreciation club and goes to the Y. W. C. A. meetings every week.

Al We wonder how Alice ever lived through the first part of this year. You see, Mary, her room-mate, had to go to Berwick, and leave poor little Alice all alone, hut she managed to scramble through the first nine weeks and now everything is lovely. Alice has a sunny disposition. She is the kind that can laugh even when the joke is on her. She believes in work- ing, hut not in overdoing the matter. We can ' t blame her for that, for all work and no play would make Al a dull girl. Her greatest ambition is to he a world famous music teacher. She would prefer to give piano and pipe organ lessons to vocal, because she is afraid that she couldn ' t furnish a very excel- lent example when it comes to singing. Al ' s hobby is clothes. She believes in satisfying her hobby to the fullest extent. When her friends ' wardrobes aren ' t sufficient, they give thanks for the fact that hers is large and that she is verj generous in lending her clothes. Alice belongs to the Music Apprecia- tion and the Girls ' Glee Clubs. Our best wishes go with Alice in her teaching career. THELMA A. CARR Luzerne High Sci i. Luzerne. Pa. Tac At first sight she appears quiet and demure; but oh my! those who know her will disagree with that, as she is as live- ly and full of fun as any girl in the dorm. As a member of the Y. W. C. A. Cab- inet, Tac is a very active member, serving in the capacity of treasurer. Tac ' s greatest weakness is for hot dogs. She simply can ' t pass a weiner shop without going in. Weiners for lunch send her into raptures; but for that matter Tac is always ready for something to eat. Several of her corpu- lent friends marvel at how much and how often she can eat and still remain thin. Tac is clever at entertaining, too. Whenever you hear someone singing Old Pal How I Miss You Tonight, you know it is she. We feel quite safe in saying that Earl is responsible for this. ' Tac has been very successful in guiding the young hopefuls of Blooms- burg, and we wish her as much success in her teaching career in the future, however short it may be. ALICE ANNE CARTER Plains High St i Plains, Pa. nd the eyed girl. Alice is one of Normal ' s most popular girls. On the surface Al appears to be very quiet, but on the contrary, sin- is ;i very light-hearted and joyous maiden. She is always ready to laugh and join in any merriment that may come along. She may seem hard to be e acquainted with, but when you know her. she is a true friend and a friend well-worth having. None knew thee but to love thee: none named thee but to praise thee is a quotation that perfectly fits Al. Were we to write on Alice we might fill a book with Ine- qualities and fine points. Aliee is a champion in the French language, and when Le Circle Francais was organized she became one of its charter members.

Peg has the unusual gift of being very talkative and at the same time in- teresting. In fact, she is almost a sure cure for homesickness. Watch the blues disappear as she comes into a room. She is interested in dramatics as is shown by her active part in the Dramatic Cluh. We find her playing second fiddle — not as a sub — hut in the Normal School Orchestra. Her favorite pastime at Normal is writing poetry. We do not know why, unless it is due to tin- fact that she is so deeply interested in Browning. When she is asked to write a poem, she replies, I have to get an inspiration. Furnish her with one and leave the rest to Peg. Her sunny disposition, ready wit, and keen sense of hu r have won for her a wide circle of friends, all of whom wish her the best of success. hei Wl or TTTi XXL HELEN CEPPA Nasticoke Hir.ii School Nanticoke, Pa.

She is verj fond of music, especially singing; and she helps to swell the mem- bership of the Senior Oirls ' Glee Club. Is she fond of minister ' s sons:- Well. I should say so. Never mind Gen, we all wish you the best of luck and success whether it he teaching or not. SYLVIA CIMMET Nanticoke High School Nanticoke, Pa. Sylvia- Sylvia is a good student, a good teach- er, and a good friend. No one need ever hesitate to ask her for a favor, for she is always read) to do what she can. She is never too busy to spare a few minutes of her time to he]]) someone out of a difficulty. No matter where you want to go, or what you want to do, Sylvia is willing. You must not think, however, that Svlvia has no will of her oun; on the contrary, it would be in- deed a difficult task to try to swerve her from what she knows is right. When we first met Sylvia, she was a shy. timid, little girl, as quiet as a mouse. We never Could he quite sure that she was in the room, because she would slip in and out so quietly. Lately, we have noticed a change in Sylvia. Her voice has grown in volume, her actions have force, her smile is brighter. Bloomsburg is bringing out Sylvia ' s per- sonality, and we watch its unfolding with great interest. If she continues as she has begun — who knows lint some daj she may make Nanticoke famous. an nr [OX ANNA CLARKE Parsons High School Parsons, Pa. Anne Anne is a living example of the old saying, Still waters run deen. Few people know what goes on beneath her collegiate I i;i i r comb, and behind lier far- away look. While others fu me, argue. Mod get excited, Anne sits up, retain- ing an unbelievable calm, and solves the puzzle with few words. One of Anne ' s peculiar character- istics is her smile which suggests mis- ehief, a good time, and last, but not least, makes her everyone ' s friend. She has that quiet and sedate appearance — but one doesn ' t have to know Anne to appreciate her pep, wit. and humor. Judging from Anne ' s great number and variety of friends, we are sure she will make a success of whatever she at- tempts. Study? Wh surely Anne studies. The question is. however, wlial and when. What does she study for? Oh, for a very few minutes! Don ' t you ea re, Anne, one needs to have a little recre- ation, doesn ' t she? With the exception of studying, Anne spends a good part of her time strutting to the rhythm of all popular music. Don ' t cha care. Anne, clam- ing is good exercise. Isn ' t it? We all know, however, that the future will share with you its luck, success, and happiness. BEATRICE MAE CLARK Wilkes-Barre High School Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Bea Clarkie Three years ago Bea came to us from Wilkes-Barre. During those three years she has been an active member in different activities of the Normal. Girls, have you ever gone for a walk with Bea on a moonlight night? If not, you can ' t realize what an astronomer she really is. Ask her to name any star in the sky. and she ' ll do so, besides telling you all there is to know about it. By all means she should specialize in astronomy. Studying stars isn ' t by any means the only thing Clarkie is interested in. She is a member of the Phi Lambda, and here again she excels. There aren ' t many plants and bugs that Bea can ' t nam,- for us. Why do you have that strainer in your room, Bea ? We won ' t tell your secret, although many would like to know. We are all sorry to see her leave us in February at which time she will finish her course. Best of luck in life in all your under- takings, Clarkie ! 2T TJL [OX im JULE LAURETTA COGGINS Carbondaxe High School Carbondale, Pa.

You will always lind her ready to help you. whether in fun or in work. Jerry is a lover of all outdoor sports, although her highest hobbies are swimming and hiking. Her greatest in- door recreation is dancing. Whenever Jerry hears music she has a hard time keeping her feet still. 1 1 .sickness can he tacked after all the girls ' names, hut it is safe to say Jerry is an exception. She always sympathized with those who were suffer- ing from it. Jerry is a member of the J. J. K., a club which was formed last year. She enthusiastically took part in all its ac- tivities and especially (luring the initia- tion of new members. Our Jerry loves music, and there is no doubt hut that this was her reason for .joining the Music Appreciation Club. Jerry is sure to make a successful teacher because of her pleasing person- alis and her love for children. DOROTHY CONNOR C.XHBO.VDALE HlGII SCHOOL Carbondale, Pa.

Rose-Marie Laugh and the world laughs with you; weep and you wee)) alone seems to be Marie ' s motto, because wherever Marie is there is sure to be much merri- ment and laughter. Did you ever see tears in her blue-gray eyes? If yon did, they must have been tears of joy. Laughing and singing are two of her greatest specialties. If you should hear someone coming down the hall singing one of the latest melodies, that is Marie ready for class. She is always happy when she goes to class because her les- sons are well prepared at all times. One of Rose-Marie ' s favorite color schemes is honey-dew (writing paper) and blue (ink.) We wonder why. One of her favorite (???) subjects is geography, and as soon as the Geography Club was organized Marie immediately became one of its charter members. Another of her many accomplishments is engaging in conversations which begin something like this: Comment vous portez — vous, ma chere? This led her to become a charter member of Le Circle Francais. Tall, black curly hair, and a dazzling smile — one does not wonder that her masculine admirers are so numerous. Rose-Marie is especially fond of football. We won ' t give away any per- sonal secrets, Marie. JAMES A. COURSEN Larksvili.i: High School Larksville. Pa. Jimmy Honor upon honor has been bestowed upon him and still he remains the same pal — a pal, whose friendship can be con- sidered one of the most prized posses- sions one can own. The brightness of his eyes can but half convey the strength of character that lurks behind them. For deeply hidden and almost entirely concealed by the sparkling good humor that seems always with him is the seriousness of a man who does big things. This seriousness has kindled within him an ambition to tackle what seem almost unsolvahle pro- jects. It has plunged him into so much work that it seems to reach out and completely engulf him. His unfailing ability of doing things successfully in the past will aid him in molding his future. His many accomplishments while at Bloomsburg are: President of Senior Class. Editor-in-Chief of Maroon and Gold. Editor of Obiter— 1926. Manager of Basketball— 1925, 1926. Manager of Track— 1926. Member of Dramatic Club. Member of Senior Tribunal.

Yes. perhaps there is one. Everyone has heard Mary say concerning a test I didn ' t make anything in it. I know I didn ' t. but when we have heard the actual results of the tests, we get a different story. We can ' t understand Mary ' s mysteri- ous trips down town. When Mary was leaving the locker-room all alone with her hat and eoat on. some one would shout. Where you goin ' ? (Hi. down town, Mary would answer. Strange as it may seem. Mary always got a ride down town in a little Ford sedan. Everyone feels sure that Mary has contributed more than her share to the frood times we have had in the locker- room. MILDRED CROTHAMEL Lake Vocational Si i t Grautv, Pa. Mid Mid is a quiet, industrious sort of girl, who always has everything up to elite, even her letters. As for the op- posite sex she doesn ' t say much, hut we often wonder why she is interested in a place like Scranton. Well, if you would like to know, just look in the back of her watch. Punctual — hum. never onlv to classes, .lust as soon as the tirst hell rings, some- times before, she begins to gather up her numerous things and rushes madly down the lire tower bound for .Science Hall.

Every- one knows that Margarete has been a success in her lessons; so. after all her worries she has accomplished what sin- set out to do. Although we often see Margarete with a wrinkled brow and a perplexing expres- sion, we see her just as often with that characteristic broad grin. We do nol see sn much of her in the locker-room, for she spends most of her time in the library. However, when it is time to eat and there are no tesls that day, we see her digging in a tall bag. Another thing we will remember Mar- garete for is her original ideas. Surely no one could think of some of the things that Margarete surprises us with every once in a while.

She can he very hilar- ious when the occasion demands and can also engage in pranks well known to inhabitants of the dormitory. She looks quite studious, too, but that is where she fools them all. Of course, she studies, but she is as carefree as can he- while so doing. We all thought that Linda was strictly devoted to the teaching profes- sion until the Junior Prom came along — we won ' t say any more about this. Put two and two together and see if that makes a school teacher. During her Junior year Linda ' s chief occupation was playing Pied Piper to the unfortunate little animals that frequented her room. How the girls on fourth floor trembled when even Linda chanced to trap a mouse. Girls quickly disappeared and doors were skillfully locked as she wended her way down the hall proudly displaying her victim. Such obstacles did not seem to dis- courage Linda as she still occupies the same room. We hope she will keep this attitude all through life and refuse to be over- come by any obstacles she may meet on the way. DOROTHY DEAN DAVIES West Pittston- High School Pittston, Pa. Dot Now that the time arrives when we are privileged to tell all we know about Dot, we realize that we are limited in space. For who could attempt to de- scribe our Dot in one little column or half page? Nay. volumes are not enough. One can not read about the girl. One must know her to appreciate her. Dot is full of surprises which leak out when you least expect them. It took the Glee Club to make known the fact that she is a song-bird, and the Art Department to discover that she has talent with the brush and pencil. The Tau Phi Epsilon treasures her member- ship as one of its precious possessions. She is one of the hest-natured persons we know. She is undoubtedly of a taste in dress that designers might envy. Her very opinion is of vital importance t those who ask it. Small, unfair, mean things are foreign to her general make- We must not omit one of the best rea- sons for Dot ' s popularity — her weekly gifts of candy. Ray! Ra_. ! The best chocolates that Whitman manufactures invariably find their way to Dot ' s room. We anticipate a very successful career for Dot. With her capabilities and dependable characteristics, she has all the promises of a brilliant future. 2H LX m ™ im RUTH E. DAVIES Wii kks-Babbe High School Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

She never wor- ries about anything and she always comes out O. K. Deanie, like the others of her nation- ality, loves to dance. Learning the new steps is her favorite pastime. Everyone clamors for her in the gym. Cries of Deanie, lead me in this one fill the air. I some would be the party that hadn ' t Deanie for a guest. You can always he sure of an enjoyable time, when she is present. She also excels in wit and humor. Her face is as serious as a judge ' s, yet the words that fall from her lips would bring smiles from any audience. Evi- dences of Deanie ' s popularity abound. The Phi Gamma Tau Sorority reached out its hands and gathered her in as one of them. The Geography Club knew her to be a regular and prompt member at its every meeting??? No one has ever reached the senti- mental side of Deanie, ' ' yet she spon- sors every campus case that happens to develop. Hers is an odd personality which laughs when the world laughs and still manages to smile when the world is sad. ® eut S HUJ A. MARGUERITE DEISROTH Hazleton High School Sugarloaf, Pa.

Dee possesses a charm and personality which has car- ried everything and everyone before it. In witness thereof, think of the or- ganizations and activities with which she has hecll connected.

What a wonderful suffragette was lost when she decided to become a teacher ! Her able assistance in making the Prom 8 sue, ess?— her activity in the Dramatic Club?

She likes to go to Scranton for the week-ends. That is all right, Marv; we all like to go visiting. She is fond of music and proves her ability in it by being an active member of the Senior ' tiirls ' Glee Club, Dancing — .yes, she likes it very much. In fact she is a [over of all sports. At first, we thought that Mary had missed her calling because of her ability to use a typewriter, hut she has proved to us by her successful scholarship that she has chosen her profession wisely. We will always remember her as a good sport, a true friend, and a willing helper for all in need. to M P? MAUD DENT Espy High Sci i Espy, Pa.

Mary, as we notice, seems to be a quiet girl who shows no interest in the opposite sex. Like many girls she is content to go through lite doing the things that arc necessary in preparing her for a real teacher. Her attitude toward her studies is wonderful for she is always ready to take part in her classroom problems. Mary is a friend worth knowing. She will always do her part in aiding you or putting you on the right track. The manv acquaintances that she has made at B. S. X. S. will not be for- gotten so easily.

If you want to see for yourself, just visit her room sometime and look at the pictures on the walls or ask her to draw on your letters. Concepta is one of those persons who d..es not believe in flaunting her knowl- edge before the world. If you did not have the good fortune of being in her classes, you probably will not know that she is a brilliant girl. Every time she is called on to reeite, her responses are very individual anil show sitrns of intelligent thinking. She is alwavs able to help herself out of any difficulty. Her name decked the honor roll all dur- ing her Junior year and without a doubt it will be there again this year. As outside eurrieular activities Con- cepta has added her name to the mem- bership lists of the Geography Club and the Sewing Club.

Mickie Maybert is one of Miss Patterson ' s staunch admirers and has decided to follow her advice of teaching three years and then specializing in music or get- ting married. Maybert has now an- nounced her intention of specializing in music. Her efforts to sing are an in- dication, she ought to be a success. Whenever there is to be a spread of any sort. Maybert is alwavs there; but she has a peculiar habit of having work to do or a toothache during its preparation. Nevertheless she is always a welcome addition to the party. The Wilkes-Barre Club. Sewing Club, and Glee Club claim her as one of their members. This shows that her social in- clinations are strong. She likes to play tennis on the river bank. Her favorite form of nourish- ment is hamburger sandwiches. While these two things may not seem to have any connection, still they show the versa- tility of one of our number. Another thing that you may depend upon is the fact that her bashful appearance is de- ceiving as any of her friends can readily tell you. l UL HU XZE JTZ JENNIE E.

We do not mean to say that she is a big talker, because she isn ' t. Jen is the type that believes in thinking twice be- fore speaking; hut when she docs talk, she says something. Jen has become interested in several outside curricular activities. She is a member of the Geography Club. She is also a member of both the Music Ap- preciation and Glee Clubs. She is very fond of music. If you happen to drop into her room at any time you will find Jennie buried deeply in a magazine. No, it is not College Humor or Good Housekeeping hut sonic prominent musical magazine. in her beloved music that she has no time for fun, for she is always read) to laugh at a .joke or join the gang in any mis- chief that happens to be going on. We believe that Jennie will leave the teaching profession to become a musical artist or supervisor, since she is so in- terested in music. Whatever you may Choose, Jennie, the best wishes of the class go with you.

Orice ' s one ambition is to be a super- visor of music at Harrishurg. So far we think she has done fairly well. She lias a very good soprano voice. Her roommate says that Orice sings her to sleep every night, and she seems to thrive on it. Orice ' s pet aversion is having anyone tease her about her voice. We really don ' t blame her, because we know that she has a loveh one. Orice shows her superior use of the English language in the way she corrects her fellow students. Her ' flow of lan- guage is second to none. Some of us wondered why she took the primary course, but now we understand. She wanted practice in handling small children.

She is also quite an athlete, She helped win many a game for her team with her tirst-rate guarding. In fact, all sports claim a share of In- r interests. Because of her superior knowledge of English and her stick-to-itiveness, she was chosen associate editor of the Obiter. However, with all the activities in which she participates, Blod never for- gets her lessons. She maintained her excellent high school standing at this in- stitution by being on the honor roll. Blod assumes her many responsibili- ties with a calm, serene attitude. A willing worker, a good classmate, a true friend, a pal put these together and thev spell just Blod. GRACE E. EDWARDS Bloomsburg High School Bloomsburg, Pa. Grace Grace is one of our nearby students. but thai is not saying thai she always gets to classes on time. About one minute before class time • can see Grace dashing up the steps and making a grand rush for her classroom. Some people become known only for being heard, but this is not the case with Grace. It took us some time to really know her, hut in her we found a true and sincere friend. Grace lias excellent control over her temper, and we regard this as one of the excellent qualities that help to make her just what she is. Grace is always jolly and ready to laugh at a joke. She is gifted with a sweet voice as Well as smiles and dimples. Her musical ability gained for her a membership in the Glee Club at B. S. N. S. She is an industrious worker and never undertakes anything that she can not finish. We have not failed to notice her inter- est in the opposite sex. She loves excite- ment; and when there is none around, she creates it. This was proven when she fell down the steps in Science Hall; hut really Grace, you were not to blame. Fair lassie of what wert thou dream- ing? Our best wishes follow you, Grace. ®l UL Ml LUCENT EDWARDS Nastticoke High Schooi Nanticoke, Pa.

When Dolor. as she is known to all her friends, first came to Normal, she was er homesick, but she recovered when told, You will like it here in the spring. It did not take us long to discover thai Dolor was a very studious per- son, especially since she is an active member of both the Cu-ographv and the Glee Club. Dolor ' s weakness is dancine. When- ever you enter her room, you can always see her practicing the latest steps. She may be Pavlowa ' s successor yet. Who knows ! Dolor is always happy when doing good for others.

Besides all lu-r school work, she finds time for fun and some recreation. She is an ardent lover of athletics and was always present at every game the l o s played, Her one cry was, Hack the has •petual desire for ncing and music.

It surely will serve as a good reminder of the happj days the Newport Gang spent at B. S. ' N. s. Gavey was always singing. Her voice could be heard daily iii the dorm- itory. Gavey always knew all the latest song hits. Can she dance? You should see her. Hark! What song is that coming from Gavey ' s room? It is either Moonlight and Roses or some other familiar strain on her uke or mandolin. This always served as a signal for the (lang to assemble. We feel positive. Gavey. that the path you tread will be a happy and prosperous one. it m £ KATHRYN GEMMELL Scranton Technical High School Scranton, Pa. Kitty Since Kitty entered Normal School she has become one of its efficient and outstanding members. As president of the Y. V. C. A., she has shown herself very competent. Her sunny smile and personality will do won- ders ! Kitty is also interested in nature, which was quite evident when she readily joined the Phi Lambda Club. When it comes to hiking, she always heads the line. The Mu Phi Sigma Sorority claims her as their own. She has shown her value to the sorority in many ways besides be- ing its active treasurer. When it comes to art very few can compete with her artistic ability, and tin ' Art Club to which she belongs welcomed her as its member. Xot even sewing is out of her line, so the Sewing Club bid her enter its doors. You may have need of it in the future. Kitty is not only active in her own school, but is ,i member of the National Student Council of the Y. W. C. A. She seems to have some trouble keep- ing track of all her Bills. We suggest she label them hereafter, so that she can at least keep track of one. We wish you as much and more suc- cess in the teaching profession as you have had in your school life.

If you want to go hiking, just seek Al ; and she ' s with you on a run. She ' s a shark at playing tennis and not much less when speak- ing of other sports. Let ' s play a set of tennis, is AI ' s frequent cry; then after the game she is able to work again. Although Al is fond of sports, she is very ambitious too, for she never fails to complete any tasks which she under- takes to do. To he a primary teacher is Alta ' s chief aim; and we feel quite sure of her success, for she never worries Anyone who has had the privilege of knowing Al will agree that she has a striking personality, which has won her many friends. With all her other skills she is inclined to be artistic. Alta was crowned tennis champion for the fall season of 1926, and we believe that in the world she will win many other championships. Good luck to you, Alta. 3Tc nr 53 ANNA GEKKINGEK Danville High Schooi Danville, Pa. BESSIE E. GICKING Hazleton High School Hazleton, Pa. From tin- large group of students com- ing from Danville High School in 1925 we singled out a quiet little girl with blue eyes and brown hair. This wax Anna.

Whenever she is around, we are sure of having a good time, because she always has something funny to sa .

For that reason she is some times called by her intimates impulsive Gick- ing. Every Monday afternoon Bess at- tends G eography Club of which she is a member. Her lovely alto voice helps to swell the music in the Presbyterian Church choir every Sunday. Much of her time has been given to Y work also.

The name Jane u (uiet, demure, sophh illv suggests a •ated girl with thoughts always turned to study. Of course, we thought this always held true —but look at her picture! That flashing smile and these big brown eyes tell you the whole story. There ' s nothing in a name. We know, however, thai when Jane sets nut to write ten lessim plans, they are done quickly and done well. This proves that she really is an am- bitious, studious jrirl and a successful worker in the primary department where she has won the hearts of all the kiddies. Lesson plans are not the only things that Jane writes, however. We often think that somewhere in the curriculum there is a private course in letter writ- ing. We haven ' t discovered it as yet, hut there must he one, tor Jane faith- fully writes her letter to the University of Florida every day — and quite as faith- fully receives one every day. We know that Jane is going to make a successful cook for — the recipient of those letters, for we shall never forgel the tempting feeds we had in her room. Chicken n ' everything!

Oh, dear. then she wipe ' s her c es. We should like you to hear that familiar Oh, dear, be cause no one can fully appreciate how it sounds by mcrch reading about it.

Really you can not blame her for it, for you can about guess who gave it to her. Whenever there is a little racket brew- ing up on third floor, you can easily guess where it ' s coming from. Of course, it ' s Marty and her gang having the time of their lives. She is one who likes to have her fun ; but when work oppresses her, she is sure to do it well. With such a pleasing personality, we see traces of success and happiness for you. We extend the heartiest wishes for a large success in teaching. BERTHA CECELIA GRAFF Mt.

Whenever we bear any loud laughing we are sure that Bertha is present in the group. Bird seems to have all the vocal talent of the Mt. Carmel Aggregation; that is why she belongs to the Senior (iirls ' Glee Club. She is one of those girls who knows how to work and have a jolly good time along with it. She always attended all of the meetings that were called, especially when some- one of the crowd would get a box. I wonder why??? The first thing to do when you start teaching, Bert, is to get an alarm clock. Did you ask why? Do you re- member the morning you and your room- mate slept in when you had science the first period? No water, no cosmetics were used that morning. Bird only- looked forward for her hooks and what excuse she was going to give. Best wishes from the class of 1927, Bertha ! 2Xc nr £ xnr Id!

This is shown by the number of musical organizations to which she belongs. The Double Mixed Quartette. the Music Appreciation Club, and the (dec Club would be at a loss without Peg ' s support. She always assumes her share of responsibility when a music- al program is given and has entertained US many times. Then, too, we can always tell when Peg is coining down the ball, for her footsteps always have that same musical rhythm. Although Leg is a com- muter, she has often been asked. Are you living in the ' dorm ' now ? She ' s a jolly good bedfellow, too. Just ask somebody that knows. Peg seems to be quite fortunate in being called on at quite unexpected moments to take charge of class discus- sion. Isn ' t that right? Peg doesn ' t profess to be a Christian Scientist. Her friends rather doubt that statement -statistics have proven that she is in one thing. How about the Christmas Dance. Peg? Oodles of luck and success to you.

She loves to sew and does not grow discouraged with her talent even though her roommate, insists on placard- ing all specimens with the owner ' s name. Jessie is a renowned artist. While we were all breathing out our wrath on daubing vases and imaginations last vear, she was smilingly, skillfully wield- ing the brush. We envied her .Vs. Did you hear about the time her room- mate was awakened at midnight by what she thought was a roaring wind? It came from yon bonnie lassie, snoring peacefully. There are two things Jessie dislikes — writing letters and getting up for break- fast, but with all her troubles we have never seen her lose her smile and sweet disposition. One of her favorite expressions is: What is that a sign of? Are the Scotch superstitious? Oh. perhaps, since that ' s an acquired characteristic. Jessie doesn ' t like the thought of teaching — and lesson plans. Ugh! Hut with her lovely disposition we think ' twould be a pleasure to be in her classes.

Judging from her frequent visits to the library, we are almost certain that she likes t o study there. We are aware of the fact that two heads are better than one.

From this introduction to Peg ' you can readily see that dancing is her chief delight. Nothing pleases her more than to he able to saj after a dance: 1 had a peach of a time. 1 didn ' t have one brisk walk. Peg believes that there is a time for work and a time for play. She never misses an after dinner-dance, and she is just as regular in doing her dailj as- signments. Everyone knows that Peg one has any doubts about her making it this year. The Athletic Asso ciation is very for- tunate in having Peg as its secretary, and the Geography Club claims her as its treasurer. The Obiter staff finds Peg among its members also.

Kitty A medium height, fair, dark-haired girl and we have Kitty. A tall, dark, curly-haired fellow and we have her escort. Wherever we went, we saw these two — at dances, lectures, games, or the movies. Kitty never missed one after-dinner dance. At these she would try out all her new steps and thus give us some more difficulties to overcome in the danc- ing line. At our gang gatherings she always helped to entertain by an exhi- bition dance. Whenever music was go- ing, Kitty was going too. even if she had to sing — we mean whistle her own tune. How could Kitty eat so much and still lie so slender:- We ' ve asked her to let us in on the secret, lint she refuses to do so. The Tau Phi Epsilon Sorority values her membership very highly, because she is always willing to do her part. She is also a member of the Geographj Club.

I suppose you wonder about Bet ' s ' interest in the opposite sex. Don ' t guess any more. Her interest includes a wide range from Stale College to our own Kef is fortunate in having a clear modulated and pleasing voice, which she uses to tin- hest of advantage in our Glee Club. Although Bet is timid and shy at first, you will soon hear her musical laugh which is often heard coming and going from classes. She never com plains, never asks sympathy, hut instead does her ut st for others. We look forward to a bright future for Bet. Of course, we do not expect her to teach for manj years, because we expect her to — never mind, Bet. they are only our expectations; hut nevertheless we H Ish J oil the best of luck. HELEN C.

However, this excess of vitality is not all directed to- ward having a good time. From all in- dications she will surely meet with suc- cess. Her specialty is talking. However, it is to good advantage, for she is contin- ually cheering someone up or adding a new friend to her already large number. Does Helen like to dance? There is no doubt about it. She never misses a d,i that she does not practise a step or two. From 9:30 to 9:53 every night Helen is seen dancing in fourth floor annex. If there is no one to strum a uke, Helen uses her vocal ability to its utmost. Does she like music? Hearing is believing in this case, for who has ever been around Helen for any length of time and has not heard her sing? Tennis is another hobby, but she ad- mits it isn ' t half as much fun to play here as it is to play at home. Helen is a Wilkes-Barrean and he- longs to the well-known Wilkes-Barre Club here at school. She is taking great interest in the affairs of this newly estab- lished organization. sn ETL UJ l S s 3133 CLEO HESS Berwick High School Briggsville, Pa.

Accordingly, Hew betook herself one fair September day to Bloomsburg and after presenting credentials which testified to the high degree of her in- tellectual abilitv was admitted to B. S. X. s. Hevy has had a summer ' s work at Pennsylvania State College and also has had work at East Stroudsburg Normal. Marion ' s record while here has been most illustrious. Her immediate friends at times have feared that her too great application to her studies might result in a nervous breakdown. However, thus far her strong constitution has withstood the effects of such strenuous study. As an extra curricular activity Marion lias added her name to the Geography Club membership list. In view of all this we predict a greal future for Marion. 3X nr TEB IRENE E. HILGERT Factor vvri.i.K High School Factoryville, Pa.

Mabel, as we know, believes in having her school work done first. She is studious and from all indications is mak- ing wonderful prog ress in her student teaching. Aside from her studies she finds time to devote to extra curricular activities. She is a member of the Y. W. C. A. and the Geographic Society. Since her en- trance into these activities she has taken an increased interest in her school work. When her career here comes to an end, we know that this young lady will lie busily engaged in performing the task she has prepared herself to do. 2? TO l s r™ HAZEL E.

While in her second year we found her a prominent member of the Y. V. C. A. cabinet and vice president of her soror- itv. In her third year we find her an associate editor of the Maroon and Gold staff and a member of the Art Club. As a fitting climax to all this, she had be- stowed upon her the highest honor which the girls of the dorm had the power to confer— that of the presidency of the Student Government. She is a happ --go-lucky girl and rather expects to teach, but expectations do not always come true. Otic of Mary ' s diversions is dancing. She hoes to talk and is usually ready to relate tin news of the dance the night before. Nor does she take a hack seat when it comes to the opposite sex.

Wherever sin- goes, she becomes verj popular; so of course, she is popular in the dorm. Everyone has learned to call her Ann. As an industrious worker, it is hard to find her equal. You usually tind her reading notes or perhaps writing them. As an outside curricular activity, she chose to become a member of the Music Appreciation Club. Ann ' s one great desire is to use a curling iron, as her roommates must do. This is quite unnecessary as you will note by her picture. Looks certainly are deceiving, for it did look as though Ann was going to leave us when she first arrived at Nor- mal. She overcame this weakness, but Angela thinks she has been away from home long enough; and therefore is hop- ing to get a school in Nanticoke. As a teacher we think Ann will be a success because of her pleasing person- ality and sympathetic manner in dealing with her friends.

The stories themselves would make a collection of interesting short stories. Grace has made a record as an honor student while at B. S. X. S.

Her ability as a scholar, her good sportsmanship, anil her love of fun led her into the organization of the Athletic Leaders. She always has ideas for anything yon want to do in art. The painstaking care she look in making her Cinderella poster merited the success she got. The visit of Or. Losey inspired a group of girls to form a Shakespeare Club.

He is a member of the Junior High Group, and therefore has been with us three years, during which time he has been a member of the Glee Club, one of the famous Bloomsburg Players, and a member of the basketball squad.

One of the members of the ' 27 class who will never be forgotten by the locker-room (rang is the little black- eyed girl called Ann. When the locker- room is in the midst of one of its dry periods -which are few and far between —all it is waiting for is the sound of the click of high heels on the stairs, for in will swish Ann. First, we hear her: then we mm- her. She has brought some- thing to waken the locker-room. The next minute it is afire with voices. May- he it was the announcement of a coming test: maybe it was a Tiew trial at court; maybe it ' was a MARVELOUS movie, hut usually it was a new step to the Charleston. Ann ' s specialty, we find, is in Art. If the locker-room ever appreciated this little girl it was when we had been given a pretty stiff assignment in Art. Then Ann ' s little statement ain ' t I poplar was certainly justified. Because she is the fortunate possessor of these qualities, we can see in a minute why she is al- ways the same and happy. MIRIAM LEHMAN Berwick Hioii School Mifflinville, Pa. Mim Here ' s another one of M itllinville ' s studious workers. Miriam has chosen for her life vocation the teaching of the Primary Grades. To see her you would think that she were one of those quiet, modest little girls; hut if you were ac- quainted with her, I think you would change your opinion, for she is one of those kind who brightens surroundings about her. If you should feel blue, just go to Mini. for she thinks there ' s no such word as failure. One seldom sees Mim alone. We usually see her and Peanut Watters together. Thej seem to lie good chums and always have the hest of fun. Why, you can imagine? Just talk about eats, and Mim is right on the dot. We all know, Miriam, that you will succeed in teaching and also in athletics. In case you don ' t, you can take up debating, for we know your ahilities from our high school exper- iences. I am sure, Miriam, the class of ' 27 sends with you their best wishes for your success and happiness in the com- ing wars of your teaching career. l rrc S Yrnr $ i cp ELSIE M.

We hope for a long time, as she is cap- able of handling and understanding the children; but we are afraid not, know- ing as much as we do about her popu- larity with the opposite sex. .lust the same, Elsie is a true and sincere friend to everyone. Her ready wit and willing hand. Uways place her in demand. I ' m si wishes and success to you, Elsie, in all you undertake in future life. EMMA LIPSKY Newport Township High School Glen Lyon, Pa. Emma Happy, jolly, and full of pep is Emma. However, a mere glance at her without knowing the real Emma seems to con- tradict this. To those who know her, she is as well-dispositioned as she is mischievous. Em never misses an op- portunity for fun and frolic. We have found her to be one of the few who can make new friends and keep the old. Emma is another one of the many who hail from Newport Township. However, her stay with us has been short. For the last year she has been guiding the footsteps of the little ones along the path of knowledge in the township schools. From all indications she is proving her- self to be a competent teacher. Her success in teaching leaves us only to add our best wishes for success in any undertakings which she may an- ticipate in the future m ZEES EVA L. LLOYD Thompson High School Thompson, Pa. Eva is a quiet demure girl from the northern part of our state. She was undoubtedly the quietesl girl in her class the first year she was here, but she has learned that the only way to live here is to stick up for herself. She reminds one of the old adage, Still water runs deep. To see her in the halls one would think she was verj sober and precise, a mode] school teacher, but she likes fun as much as anyone. When something noes wrong or she forgets something, you can expect Oh, Ginger! If you hear Jolly! von know she is amused. She is taking her pro- fession seriously, however, and is en- deavoring to break her slang habits. If anyone is ill, out of notebook paper, ink. or needs scissors, thread, and needles, she always comes to Eva for assistance. She is always willing to help and is always kind and pleasant to everyone. Eva is a conscientious student and from reports a good teacher. She is a member of the Glee Club and the trea- surer of the French Club. In her future life we wish her health. iih. uol ha PAULINE LLOYD Newport Township High School Wanamie, Pa.

She comes from thai interesting little town known as Wanamie. Have you ever been down to the gym or any place and failed to see her? No; she is always ready. Does she like to dance? There is no doubt about it. She is a member of the Alpha Delta Zeta Sorority. At the last Sorority party we saw her sitting in front of the fireplace subconsciously gazing at the glowing embers, thinking of her future, doubtlessly. Was it school teaching she was dreaming of? We wonder. Pell is very artistic and has been successful as Publicitv Manager of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. ' Her enthusiasm is not limited, for she has an overwhelming amount of pep saved up for teaching and if pep and personalitj have anything to do with success, Pell, we ' re sure you ' ll have a successful career.

When she determinedly says no just coax awhile and see what she does. Is she studious:- All. when there is nothing more pleasant in view. (Going down town in the middle of the morning, for Shorty is a commuter). We are assured of her success in life, for she has reserved a place in the hearts of all who know her. Shorty lias always been a good sport in every sense of the word. She was a group leader in her gym class and captain of her basketball team. She was also a member of the Senior Girls ' Glee (lull and the Sewing Club. When Shorty was a Junior she was always late for class. (The trolley car was late or ran off the track.) How- ever, we are very glad to say that the bus has reformed her for she is always there on time now — except sometimes. Here ' s wishing you the most and best of luck, happiness and success. PEARL E. LONG Bloomsbubg High School Bloomsburg, Pa. IVarl Pearl is one of the liveliest members of the class.

Eat, sleep and enjoy life while you may. Pearl likes athletics and her main hobby is basketball. She has another hobby, too- hut who the lucky one will he is to be found out later. Pearl is dearly loved by a large cir- cle of friends and is always willing and eager to do any act of kindness for those ..round her.

If you hear anyone murmuring. My gosh, you ' ll know that Mildred is near. We ' ve all learned the fact that Mil- dred is talented in music. She takes active part as violinist in the orchestra and does her duty in the Glee Club. Every Sunday morning you can sec her walking down the street with her violin under her arm. She plays for Sunday m-I 1 and sings in choir for church in the evenings. Mildred has a great desire to visit tin- foreign country, so she joined the French Club, thinking the language would help her somewhat while visiting in France. She enjoys the possession of a host of friends who wish her a bright and pros- perous future. IRENE LUKASAVAGE Kingston High School Kingston, Pa.

Elsie really has one of the sweetest dispositions that could be found in this world of strife. No one has ever heard lier complain about her teachers or her work. She says she be- lieves in doing things the best she can and letting the rest take care of itself. She is an ardent believer in the old say- ing lh.it A friend in need is a friend indeed. and she is always ready to cheer her sad and hungrj classmates with a kind word or a nice I ij r juicy red apple from her Dad ' s farm. Elsie deelares that teaching is going to be her life work.

Mabel is very indus- trious: but we notice she finds time to visit a certain meat market and chat with the clerk. With her rosy cheeks and winning smile we are sure she will sell many pounds of meat to an unde- cided customer. We might now devote a few words to the more material things in Mabel ' s life. She l ' nis back and forth from Benton every day in search of knowledge. We have lic:ird that her usual words to the driver are. Make it snappy. I have an eight o ' clock class. It ' s a test under Miss Moore, too. Every Monday night she goes to Geography Club. Then she tells the- poor driver to make it snappy because she ' s nearly starved. Her loving disposition and willingness to lend a helping hand when needed arc the characteristics for which we all ad- mire in her. We have just a word of caution — beware of her temper. Well.

This ma account for lier sweet personality. Kit is always smiling in sunshine or in rain. She takes trouble just as it conies. She, too, was a member of the Mount Ca nnel Aggregation. Although Kit spent her high scl 1 days in Mount Carmel, she has a warm spot in her heart for Wilkes-Barre. We wonder why? Every one remembers the morning Kit and two other members of her group got up at 7:55 and were in church at eighl o ' clock or shortly afterwards. What a rush ! Whenever we warded to plaj a trick on some member of our group Kit was usually at the head of it. We v very lonesome the first nine weeks of this semester when Kit was in Ber- wick, but that feeling is overcome now since s| - has again joined our group. Her favorite saying is. What ' s wrong, bo?

Amelia, of course; Amelia is one of the girls from Newport, and all who know her know she is of the lively happy-go-lucky sort. She is al- ways ready for a good time ami always ready to play a trick. Her very intimate friends often enjoyed her entertainments in her room on the third floor. First appearance will almost convince you that she is quiet, hut within a short time you will learn she has a sunny, amiable disposition and a sense of humor. She never lets her pleasures in- terfere with her school activities. Amelia is very fond of dancing and sports. She also likes to sing. The only fault Amelia has is that Oh. how I hate to get up in the morning manner. Well, never mind. Amelia, the rising bell may some day change into a different hell ' (!-).

Elizabeth seems to be a very quiet and dignified person; but after you learn to know her, you find that she is jolly and luxes to have a good time. This is especially shown on the bus and in the locker-room, for Elizabeth is one of our Berwick commuters. The girls of the locker-room find in Elizabeth a friend who is always ready to help them especially when they forget their vanity cases or combs. Besides being kind and helpful, Eliza- beth is talented. She is one of our fa- mous music teachers and makes this tact known by continually blowing her pitch pipe in the locker-room. The girls there are aware of being in the presence of a famous musician. On these occasions vc feel sure that music will be Eliza- beth ' s life work. Lately we have noticed a change in Elizabeth. She has a dreamy expression and is becoming very absent-minded. In- stead of spending all her time at her music, we find her often in the gym. We can ' t understand all this, but we hope for the best and wish you much success in vour life ' s work, Elizabeth, MARION C. MARSHALL Kingston High School Kingston, Pa. Marshall Marshall had one advantage over the rest of us. She partly knew Normal life when she entered. Needless to say, this knowledge aided her in being one of the first to settle down to make herself at home. She started in right the first week, and so far as we know she ' s been going right ever since! Keep it up, Marshall. Rah! Rah! Athletic Leaders! If you didn ' t know Marshall the first year she was here, you certainly became acquaint- ed with her during her last year. Mar- ion had charge of all hikes, and if you don ' t believe she had good ones — just ask the Juniors. They know. Not only did .Marshall make good as an Athletic Leader hut also as a teach- er. You should have seen her handling Miss Alexander ' s sixth grade history class. We wouldn ' t be afraid to stake our money on Marshall as a future training teacher if it weren ' t for the fact that we believe that Marshall has other plans. What other plans did you ask? Question Marshall — she ' ll be able to give the best answer. All we say for her future is: Best wishes for success in anything or everything, Marshall, you deserve it! TH or 53 UL TEH ££l CP ffl Bi GEORGE A. MATHEWS Hanoveb Township High School Sugar Notch, Pa. Ex When Ex joined us in ' 26, he carved a figure worthy of much respect and ad- miration. He ' first made himself known when he acted as Business Manager of the .lunior (lass Play. His stately ways, liis studious attitudes, and liis manager- ial ability won for him a place in the hearts of all the students and imme- diately popularity resulted- especially among the fairer sex. Although he always had a serious look about his face, if then- is anything of innocent fun about, lie is sure to be in it for all he is worth. When Ex is around everyone expects a merry time; and no one has ever been slighted. He is the sort of a person who can turn a morgue into a lit of laughter. Yet. amid all his toil and merr mak- ing, he never lets his class work undone. Never has he entered a classroom un- prepared, lie also takes a leading role among the social workers about the school. Among his accomplishments at B. S. X. S. we may list : Manager of Junior class Play 28. Manager of Basketball ' . ' 7. Editor of the Obiter ' 27. Tackle on the Football Team - 26.

Medley Verna Medley entered with the rest of us in 1925. We ' re glad she did, for what would our class have been without Med- ley as ice president:- In Medley ' s case, appearance meant approval and success -she decked the honor roll each semester, acted as president of the Ath- letic Leaders, and was vice president of our class. Talking about Athletic Leaders brings a memory. Will anyone ever forget the wax Medley handled Chapel the day the Athletic Leaders had charge? I ' m afraid Verna had half the student body shivering that day. Was she resource- ful? If you were present, you know. You may think that Medley ' s a well- versed but quiet person. Don ' t fool your- self! She ' s not — for reference, refer to her Berwick roomies. Medley sure kept all the Berwick crowd a-going and in good humor. We all know that Medley did ex- ceptionally well in her practice teaching. We ' re glad she did. but we have our doubts about the length of her stay in the profession. No, Verna, we won ' t give liis name, but we ' ve often wondered whv Bloom had such an appeal to you. Go to it.

Alice is fritted with an overwhelming and overflowing sense of wit and humor that fits in to complete the party. As a teacher Alice i a complete suc- cess and her personality is such that everyone is attracted to her. Alice is usually calm and very self- possessed, hid when anyone crosses her — beware! She is always readj and willing to do anything she can to make anyone happy, and whenever anyone wants anything done she never says If you want a thing done, do it yourself. Alice is the kind of a girl who doesn ' t study too hard, hut always has her work done. If you are in doubt as to the right word to use at the risrht time, just ask Alice. We often wonder if Webster ever missed one of his dictionaries. Her favorite indoor sport is dancing and her outdoor sport, tennis. We sn or S HE S ROWLAND METCALF Haxovkr Township High St l i.

' During his first few weeks with us lie was out for adventure. He was here and there trying to find out the why and wherefore of the things that he en- countered. He did not lose much time in makinfr inquiries about certain pretty girls that crossed his path and before long Mike lost his adventure and be- came romantic. This was evident for he was often seen strolling down senior walk with one of our female class- mates. Mike distributed his time properly as a student. Although athletics were bis ambition he placed as much time on his studies as he did on sports. Many a football victory for B. S. X. S. was largely due to bis skill in tackling and blocking. As a guard be stood out first. He was also a member of the Junior Varsity Basketball squad and a regu- lar member of the Geographic Society. His companionship and good nature will never be forgotten by those who knew him. CLARA MILLER Catawissa High School Catawissa, Pa. Clara Clara— another one of those illuminat- ing bright Hashes— comes from the in- dustrial center of Catawissa. She en- tered our class in the Junior year, and we consider ourselves verj lucky to have her as one of our members. No doubt the first impression you Mould gel of Clara is that she is one of those quiet jrirls (seldom seen around our school); but you would soon be obliged to change your mind, for she most certainly is not. Clara has that common ability of most girls— to talk — and talk she will. Never mind, Clara, you have much competition. Clara takes great interest in her work. She is a diligent worker and is seldom seen going down the bill without an arm- ful of books with her. Although Clara is studious she has found time to lend us her voice in our Glee Club. We do not always expect Clara ' s interest to be in teaching and singing, for there are rumors that there is another branch; but we will not give it away; so all is well. We all wish Clara the best of suc- cess not only iii teaching, but in every- thing She undertakes. an rrr 3H3 MARY LETHA MILLER Berwick High School Mifflinville, Pa.

Her willingness to help others and her man- ner of performing duties make it easy to ask favors of her. We heard of people being called good sports. We didn ' t know exactly what that meant until Sally. with her broad vision and fair mind, revealed to us the true meaning of the words.

Although Betty looks quiet and formal to the outside world, she is most jolly and peppy when in the company of iicr intimate friends. Betty, one of the most dignified stu- dents wlio ever walked the halls of the Slit. Normal School, acquired the name Speed because she walks very rapidly. In all her undertakings it maj be said that she is speedy and accurate ' Betty had the honor of being among the tirst group of girls to lie sent awaj from the Normal School to train as a teacher.

MONROE Hazle Township High School Jeansville, Pa. Babs Babs came to us from the little town of Jeansville. She was a rather quiet, reserved young lady when we first met her; but since she has become more acquainted we have found out that she is full of pep and always ready for a good time. She is an active member of the Music Appreciation Club and the French Club. She is always ready to lend a helping hand to those who are in need. She is one of our industrious girls who suc- ceeds in everything she attempts. Whenever we see Babs going down Main Street in a hurry, we know there is a good movie somewhere in town. Bab ' s artistic ability was best shown in making posters for the play, Cinder- ella. Judging from her attendance at the public library on Saturday afternoon, we are convinced that she has literary in- clinations. Personality is the key to success ; if such is the ease, we know that Babs will make an excellent teacher, so we all wish her the success and happiness she deserves. IRENE MONTGOMERY Obangeville High School Orangeville, Pa. Let us, then, be up and doing. With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing. Learn to labor, and to wait. This seems to be Irene ' s motto. She possesses one of the most charming dis- positions! One inner sees or bears her weeping and wailing or scolding over anything. She makes the most of any situation and believes so sincerely that all ' s well with the world that her be- lief becomes contagious. That Irene commutes daily from Orangeville is sufficient evidence that she is very ambitious — highly desirous of an education. Consequently, her time at school for extra curricular activities is limited. However, she is a member of the Geography Club and is very inter- ested in the work. Irene is a master of the culinary art and we hope to find her keeping house for two some day. Who was it said a woman could not keep a secret? We have proof in Irene that he was wrong, because she kept a secret for a whole school year? One of the chief characteristics of a good teacher is reserve. Irene has plenty of this. We arc confident that this, together with her pleasing person- ality and cheerful disposition, will win her great success in her chosen career— teaching Nature Study. an nr IOi J = P P 1 ™ J L GRACE MOHAN Sabbjel ' s High Sci •■ . r;i - i.

Mary No, she is not quite as serious as this picture would make us believe. In fact, she is quite the contrary. Mary can al- ways find something to smile or laugh about, and she is always ready tu listen tn a good juke. Among lier many accomplishments we would particularly note her ability to make friends. If you do not know Marx. we advise you to make her acquaintance. Both lur ability to make friends and to dance make her very popular inside of school as well as outside of school. Con- sequently, we often hear her telling of the wonderful times she has had over vacation. ( heerfulness, Mary ' s chief character- istic, makes it impossible for her to re- main quiet all the time. She punctuates her conversation with smiles, thus win- ning her way into the Phi Gamma Tau. More important than these honors is the personality which distinguishes Mary. To know her ' is to be her friend She persists iii looking on the bright side of life, and as a result she is always sunnj and happy. We wish you the best of luck and success possible.

Her inno- cent smile is only an evidence thai some mischief is lurking beneath it. Though she is hard to see, you will never fail to hear her. She has life, energy, and am- bition to work and to play. Mary is a very sympathizing young lassie— always willing In sympathize and lend a helping hand. We spent many days with her, and we missed her very much when she left US for nine weeks to go tn Berwick. She made a wide circle of friends while there because of the Mary is a prominent figure in the gym. She is very fund id ' dancing. Kver evening you could see Mary with her roommate strutting across the Hour. During the lirsl semester of her Serdor year nrie of Mary ' s hobbies was I., at tend meals regularly.

HELEN MULLIGAN ' h.ki:s-Bauhi: High School Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Mulligan Helen is another member of our class who graduated from Wilkes-Barre High School with the class of ' 25 and joined our ranks at the Normal in the fall of the same year. In her Junior year. Helen was very- fond of playing tricks on the girls. If iiu don ' t agree, ask some of the girls on long hall of fourth Hour. That she is a good student was easiU shown bv her work during her lirst year here. Because of illness she- missed many weeks of school in her Junior year. This, however, did Tint cause her In fall behind in her work, but through her earnest ambition she kept up with her class. Helen is very fond of music, and by this means she- is able In show her hap- piness. During the day and often at night her voice can be heard pealing throughout the halls. She used this tal- ent while- ben- at scbn.il bv being an active member of the Girls ' Glee Club. Helen expects to teach school for a long time, bid we all have- our cluubts. Never mind, Helen, we wish you success tin matter where- you are and in what- ever occupation you may be engaged. 2? STELLA MURRAY MaRYWOOD Se.MIXART Seranton, Pa. Stella Stella is a girl you can ' t forget. Long after others may have left you, Stella ' s personality will escape oblivion. She is keenly interested in everyone and every- thing and can meet any situation with ease and poise. She has a faculty for making strangers feel at home as many .Juniors can testify. On the other hand she can most effectually make a person Conscious of wrongdoing as her work as third floor supervisor will bear witness. Stella is talented musically and is an active member of the orchestra and of the Music Appreciation Club. Whoever saw Stella that she wasn ' t singing? Stella is a lively companion; she quickly appreciates the humor of any situation and is ready to join in any merry-making. She is as ready to be the butt of a joke, as its originator. If you want someone to take an inter- est in your troubles and joys, go to Stella. She is always ready with a cheering laugh, or a helpful bit of ad- vice. We do not know what the dorm- itory would have been like the past two years without Stella, but we are glad we didn ' t have to try it. DELMA E. MYERS Pittstos High School Pittston, Pa. Del Delma was greatly missed by our gang the tirst nine weeks of school, be- cause she was among the tirst group of girls who were sent up to Berwick. She taught in the Fourteenth Street building under the careful guidance and super- vision of Miss Rich. Delma was very much liked by her pupils, because she always had a pleasant smile and a friendly greeting for them all. While she was up in Berwick doing her practice teaching, her favorite, saying was, How ' s this for a situation? Judging from this picture, one would think that Delma ' s position in life is to he a dignified school teacher; but we have our doubts about that. Since we have known Delma, she was always willing to give us her help. Many times she has helped us out of our dif- ficulties and encouraged us not to give up hope hut to work and work bard and that sooner or later we would succeed in life. Her famous hobby is buying shoe-trees, candlesticks, and vases in order that she may show others her artistic ability by painting them. Keep it up. Del. It will come in handy some day. Of all the cars Delma has her eyes set on a certain Ford coupe. I wonder md We all wish her heaps of happiness in her future life. 2H CET TTJj 3 S HANNA NAGELBERG Scranton Central Hmii School Scranton, l ' a.

She ex- emplifies the word obliging and makes unselfishness lier motto. It took Bloomsburg to draw Hanna from the shell of reserve which encased her. After that — Hanna proved to he an all-around {rood sport — ready to take every chance and enjoy all kinds of fun. Hanna surprises people In s.i ing the funniest things at exactly the right time. Her drv humor has made her one of the mosi popular girls at school. Anyone worthy of a nickname is certainly a worthwhile person. Hanna has two names. We called her Speedy because her manner of doing things is anything but speedy. Hanna ' s favorite sa} ing was. It reminds me of something else: it ' s so different. The other was Spring ; because Hanna, like the sea- son of that name, brings laughter and fun wherever she ncs. We ' ve another hit of information about Spring. She ' s musically in- clined. In fact, she goes as far as play- ing the violin in the school orchestra — whenever her inclination leads her to at- tend the rehearsals. Hanna is also a much-loved member of the Tau Phi Epsilon Sorority. VERONICA C. NAMOTKA Pittston High School Pittston, Pa. Vera Vee Sleep, sleep, sleep. How she loves to sleep. All the long day through, Dreaming of school and whom? We have enjoyed living on fourth floor for flic past two ears with Vera as a neighbor. She is always willing to do a good turn for any of her class- mates. Vera resists many temptations. One she can not resist is passing the Martha Washington Restaurant. Please explain that to us, Vee. Her greatesl fault is not believing her roommate and pals when they return from second floor and say, The postal authorities have forgott en you, Vee. Vera ' s greatest ambition is to be- come a school teacher. We doubt whether this will ever come to pass as her hobby is darning socks. Vera, you can ' t darn socks in a classroom. Gee Whiz! and Oh, Boy! may be heard spoken from her lips al most anj time. Vee is an active ami enthusiastic member of the Geography Club. We wish you success and luck in guiding the little tots over their many narrow ways.

We know that Thel has all the best qualities for teaching, but we would not feel sate in prophesying that she will teach for a long time. Even though she is a very industrious girl and never goes to classes unprepared, she does not spend all her time in studying. Thel takes an active pari in school activities, especiallv the Bloomshurg Geographical Society.

(Juinnie A sweet shy lassie, the possessor of rosy cheeks, a wealth of golden-brown, curly hair, and a sunny disposition back- ed by a charming smile is Milford ' s donation to B. S. N. S. Edith is keen on jokes, especially the Milford variety, and if ever a burst of laughter is heard coming from some room, undoubtedly Edith is there telling one of her many. Tennis and basketball are her favorite sports; and when it comes to giving dancing exhibitions — especially the Charleston and Horses — well ask the people below as we have already beard the remark that it sounded very much like the Charge of the Light Bri- gade. We are told that when Edith left Milford for B. S. N. S. she left behind unseen thousands of broken-hearted males; and when she arrived at B. S. N. S., it took her no time to add one more victim to that long list. Edith has that dignity which befits a promising young school teacher. She likes study in its place; but when good times and studies clash, she lets study- ing go to smash. To a true friend, a faithful scholar, and a loyal classmate, we wish all the success due her. PAULINE RANCK Bi.oo.msbiru High School Bloomsburg, Pa. Rankle Small of stature Great of mind Always pleasant Gentle and kind. Pauline is a graduate of the class of ' 2+ of the Bloomsburg High School. She attended Bucknell for one year be- fore she decided to further her knowl- edge of the teaching profession in B. S. N. S. Rankie seems very modest until you know her; then your idea as to her modesty and shyness soon disappears, for she is jolly and as ready for a good time as any one else. If you need something done and done correctly, just call on Rankie, as she is ,i good worker as well as a good friend and classmate. Rankie showed great dramatic ability during her high school years by playing the leading role in class plays. She is a devoted member of the Delta Phi Sigma Sorority and since her en- trance into it has added greatlv to its welfare. Pauline has chosen the Primary Grades in which to guide the coining generation along the path of education. No matter what Hankie undertakes we all wish her the best of success and happiness. s HH DOROTHY CLAIRE RAUP Mount Carmel High School Mount Carmel, Pa.

With a book in one hand as a torch and a yardstick in the other tor a sword — well, I ' m sure we can all picture tile intense dramatic action auth- orized. This is only natural, as Dot ' ' is one of the active members of the Dramatic Club. She is also a partici- pant of the French tint). Again we sec this girl in other ac- tivities. Tennis is her favorite spent. and she has been known to frequent the courts almost dailj even though at one time the weather permitted tin- use of galoshes. During the Christmas vacation Dot was one of the fortunate few P. board the Hesperus sailing for Tamaqua. Her greatest hobby is admiring a cer- tain character in the comic sec! f tin- newspaper.

Hap Hap is one of the quiet, modest Seniors whom you can see hurrying every morning to his classes. Is there any- thing he can not do if he so desires? Hap has a host of friends in the school and out. Graduating from a high school called N ' escopeck, Hap thought he would take up the profession of teaching. Hap has taken part in many activ- ities. As a member of the Geography Club he has done wonderful work. Geography is his victim, for he devours it easily. Music ability is another ivon derful possession of his. He can gel up to high C, if he tries, but he has never tried. Rural work has taken up much of his valuable time. He is one of the best There is one weakness thai Hap has. Thai is. the opposite sex.

She is fair, has dark eyes and dark hair. and. oh, how stately she holds herself. We all know that keys arc an abso- lute necessity, but Lysod ' s Key is — well, vou ' d be surprised. She is a mem- ber of the Alpha Delta Zeta Sororitj and is also an active member on various committees. She is willing at all times to help anyone in any way she can. (ill. ilid oil see her at the dances we have had? A picture from a frame would not express all we saw. Lysod seems to have considerable dif Acuity with her name. When she entered Bloomsburg for the first time she found that instead of having a place in the girls ' dormitory, she had one in the boys ' dormitory. However, we all envy a name as odd as Lysod. We wish you heaps .if success in the future and hope that you will always remember our good times at Blooms- burg. Lysod is also an active member of the Obiter Staff. BEATRICE M.

This docs not mean that she does it because her class! reports sa she must, but because R is near the end of the alphabet. Anyone would admit that it would be hard to climb to the top of the class ith such a handicap. The only way to do this would be to change her name. We wonder if she is thinking of it !

Roan Li: illy jag He ' s as happv as a coy and as a little turtle dove. Lookout! gasped one of the Train- ing School pupils. II was Bernard Roan coming up the hill as fast as the fours of his tin Ford would bring him from the town of Espy on the day of regis- tration in the fall of 1924. It took only one semester for him to find his chief interest in the teaching profession. You may find this young man in the Art Studio at nearly any hour of the day. working on one of his masterpieces, or instructing one of his art classes. His artistic ability was fine- ly displayed by the scenic part of the Art Club Plays. For the the past two years his strong arm won the place on the mound as tuirler on our varsitj nine. This same arm also won the heart of a fine young lass in the graduating class of laSl year. We arc placing our hopes for the suc- cess of this season of baseball on Roan ' s arm. Roan has a high educational quotient. He is well thought of by all members of Wl TTC HX ZLTJj LILLIAN ROBERTSON Jen-kins Township High School Pittston, Pa. Lillian Always cheerful; always smiling. Never curt nor snappy, Lillian labors to find a way To make the world seem happy. With her pleasant personality and her determination to succeed we arc certain that Lillian will make an excellent teacher. If her future students love and ad- mire her as much as those with whom she has associated, there is no doubt but thai she will win their utter confidence and co-operation. Lillian is a eraduate of Jenkins Town- ship High School and certainly is a stu- dent of which they may be proud. She is a lover of music and sports. Judging from her attitude toward her teachers and books, we are convinced that she enjoyed nothing better than study. AVe know you are hoy-shy, Lillian, but, then, we realize that you have not met the rig-lit one yet; and we also re- alize that fickleness is against your re- ligious principles. As you enter the field of teaching you may be assured that your teachers, class- mates, and friends wish you success. FLORKNt !E ROBINSON Bloomsbukg High School Bloomsburg, Pa. Flo Here again we find one of our little ones of the class of ' 27. Florence is rather partial to Bloomsburg; but, then, why not? She is one of the many girls who hails from Bloomsburg High School. Flo ' s greatest interest is hard to find. She is always on the job for anything on the light fantastic toe. She usually attends the after dinner-dances at B. S. N. S. I wonder why (?). Now, don ' t get the wrong impression of Florence, even though you do see that curly head bobbing over the dancing floor. She can also be serious. If you wonder how she will be as a teacher, just look at her picture. That tells the tale! Flo ' s marvelous voice is shown in the Glee Club and Interpretative Reading Club. Of course, we all hear it every day in the locker-room. One of Flo ' s main char- acteristics is frankness. It is usually shown in modern literature class. How about the young people of today? Are we worse than ever. Flo? However, is a good policy. Live up to it. She ' s sweet of disposition. She ' s loving, wise and kind.

Happy Hap Gladys Gladys hails from Sunbury, and for that reason we always feel like veiling, Hah! Hah! Sunbury! Happy sure does honor to her home town. Her pleasant smile and happy manner have made Happy a word of love through- out the entire dorm. Hap deeided she wanted to be a school teacher. In her case decision was synonymous with success. Happy worked hard at her task— the result was a wonderful grade in teaching. Still, we believe she really deserved it. so we don ' t object. One of Gladys ' s pleasant affiliations is that with the Alpha Delta Sorority. From a er good source we ' ve heard that Happy ' is one of the most active and popular of the sorority ' s members. You might form a wrong opinion — that of a happy, studious, pleasant girl — if we let this end here. Now. all that is true, but there ' s another side to Happy. We ' ve often wondered how it hap- pened that Rohrbach always had a full mail box. Really, Happy should have lived in the days of knights, she ' s so fond of mail. We ' ve almost ceased to wonder why — for knowing Happy ' s pleasant disposition — and knowing a cer- tain male we say like the advertise- ment — There ' s a reason.

Lucy Rood is her name, but rude she is not. .Fust get acquainted and you ' ll find not. I ' ve just heaps of work to do, might be heard whenever Lucy is about. When you consider the numerous activities with which she is connected this statement hears a lot of truth. Lucy is a member of the Alpha Delta Zeta Sorority. Glee Club, Orchestra, Maroon and Gold staff and the Presbyterian choir. Music hath charms, so say many. I.ucy has these charms in abundance. Her music comes from her finger-tips as well as her voice. I.ucy has a host of friends of both sexes as may be seen whenever any social function is going on. Speaking of friends, whenever Lucy ' s mother visited the school and, of course, brought everything a mother would bring, Lucy would never forget to as- semble her friends to share in her good fortune. It always was a good fortune to be invited on one of these occasions. Lucy is preparing herself to teach in the primary grades. If her success in the future will ' be as successful as the past, we may be assured of the progress .if tin- future generation. Loads of luck and good wishes. LOTTIE I.

She is a quiet, studious girl and always does her work well. Her work always canes first; but after it is done, she is ready for a good time. She is not only a good student but is also a good spurt. Did someone saj sin- couldn ' t learn a song tor music class? Co to Lottie; she is always willing to help and is quite suc- cessful at it. She is a member of the Senior Girls ' (lice Club. When Lottie is working hard and something goes wrong, you hear her ex- plain, Blame it! in quite an angry tcaie of voice. However, she is usually in a good humor and has a smile and a cheery Howdy for all. Lottie says she is going to teach, but we wonder for how long. It really looks n.iw as though her career as a teacher will he er sh,,rt. However, whether it be long or short we wish her the very best of luck. rrrr in I § anr xcn DOROTHY M.

I king on the bright side of life seems to her to be the best policy, and we agree with her. Wit comes natural to Mary, and she believes in making use of her talents. Her favorite occupation, when not studying, is talking or joking, and she is always ready to contribute to the topic i ' f the moment no matter what it happens to he. Her list of wise sayings seems to he endless. Mary loves music when someone else is producing it. Is there anyone here who can play the piano? is one of her oft repeated questions. Mary is ..in- of the Seventeen Co-eds who gave the children of Berwick food for thought. She likes teaching, but be- lieves that lessini plans should be abol- ished.

It you see someone pass by like a whirlwind, you know it is Hilda. Hilda came to be our friend in Sep- tember, nineteen hundred twenty-five. She was a shy Junior like her many classmates, but her shyness has passed away. She was surely a good sport dur- ing Junior Customs. Why? Because she looked so becoming in her green band and those black lisle stockings. Wherever there are any sports, Hilda is always seen. Her rosy cheeks arc a result of hiking; that is something all hikers haven ' t acquired as yet. Can she play basketball or baseball? I ' ll say she can. Slain! trash! Bang! What is that? Hilda has to write another lesson plan or read just one more chapter. She does much writing, but to whom I know not. Hilda is an active member of the Glee Club. That statement is verified by her many friends and neighbors. GERTRUDE RUOFF HUGHESTOWN HlGH SCHOOL I ' ittston, Pa. Gertie Gertie is one of our tall dark-haired girls, who came to us from Hughestown. Do you know when- Hughestown is? It is a little town about a mile from Pitts- ton. From the very beginning Gertie became a favorite with all her classmates and friends. Does she study? Well, I should say! She would never think of entering a class with her lesson unprepared. However, she still has time for other things. Much of her time is spent in taking part in outside activities. As an Athletic Leader she can not lie beat. She is also a member of the Mil Phi Sigma Sorority. Gertie ' s rich alto voice helps to make the Senior Girls ' Glee Chili a success. We all know that Gertie will be a success when she goes out to teach next year, because she has already proven lier ability here in the Training School. We are a little doubtful if teaching will he her life-long profession — there are evidences of other attractions which the future seems to hold for her. 1 S Iff FLORENCE Rl PERT Bloomsburg, Pa. ••Bink Here ' s to the girl with a disposition as sunny as a summer day!

I recall having heard that one ' s char- acter can he read by his walk. A study of the portrait of Lincoln quite dis- tinctly gives one the impression that his gait must have been long and ambling, and there can be little doubt that his personality was one to he desired by each and everyone of us. Judging by the walk. then. Bill Rushin must have a wonderful personality. Don ' t grin, for if you knew him as I do you would re- alize that he has just that.

Helen had a hard time deciding wheth- er or not she would join us, because she also thought a great deal about nursing as a profession. Luckilj for us she de- cided in our favor. Considering what she did for some girls in the dorm when they were sick, we think she would have made a wonderful nurse, too. From all outward appearances Helen seems to lie quiet. Is she? Xot if you have e er heard her going through the halls or seen her in her room. She al- ways has a cheery word and a big smile for everyone. She is quite mischievous at times and likes to play tricks. Did you ever hear the word am- bition? That ' s one of Helen ' s favorite words and she certainly li cs up to it.

SEITZ Dajttou High School Danville, Pa. Sally After attending several summer ses- sions at B. S. X. S., Sara decided to join our class this year. She is a mem- ber of the Rural Group and also a mem- ber of the Rural Club. One ' s first impression of Sara is that she is a quiet and bashful maiden; but when you bee, mi- acquainted with her, you will change your mind. She is an industrious worker. If she undertakes to do anything, you can be certain it will be well done. Sunn- people are all work and no play. This can not be said of Sara. She always has a pleasant look on her face at work and at play. Her grit and ambition will carry her safely across the rough places in the road to One of Sara ' s outstanding character- istics is her ability to tell jokes. Once in a while the joke is on her — especially when she misses the Danville-Bloomsburg bus at seven o ' clock in the morning. Sara is exceptionally fond of riding in a Chevrolet with a certain young man. Time will tell us whether Sara will con- tinue to teach school after she leaves us. Such a good sport as Sara can not meet with failure, no matter what she undertakes to do. MARGUERITE SHAFER Hajtoveh Towns High Sen II.

If you want something done, go to Margaret; she will do her best to help you at any time. Her chief worry, or. I should say, worries, are her kiddies. I hope I get home in time to get dinner for the kid dies, is an expression often heard in the halls of the Training School.

She seems quiet to those who do not know her. but ask those who do. She is a lover of fun and gaiety. Her one weak point is giggling. but we will overlook that. Along with her lesson plans. Margaret has time for other things. She is fond of dancing, especially the skip with which she goes from room to room. She is never seen walking. Margaret is a member of the Senior dirls ' Glee Club and ranks cry high among the alto singers. One of her hobbies is sleeping. We heard her once say. I believe I would make a good Rip Van Winkle. Never mind, Peg, we have asked Mr. Keller I,, save you a place when this play is presented. We would suggest that when 011 have a position of your own. you will set one day aside for sleeping.

If you don ' t believe it. ask her opponents. We sometimes think she should have chosen another course — that of physical eil. While at Berwick Mart kept the mailman busy. We often wondered how her parents (?) managed to write so often, and so much. Quite often we wished our relatives were so attentive! Funny part of the situation was that one of her relatives couldn ' t recall her last name! Strange, wasn ' t it? Although we haven ' t met them, we know! ■Ma really don ' t object though, for knowing Mart we understand how they feel — now we don ' t mean the uniforms or pins.

This, it seems, would assure his prompt appearance at classes. How- bodj ask- Don ' t accuse Harold of anv- thing like that. The darkest day of Harold ' s life was the one on which Prof. Bakeless accused him of being a philosopher. Cheer up, Harold, there are worse criminals.

She is very studious: however, she found time aside from her studies to cultivate her social nature among her classmates. Her disposition, inclining toward the agreeable, lias won a host of friends for her among her classmates. Lately Ida has revealed the secrets of her heart, and whispers some pertinent facts about an Ashley Sheik.

Katharine ' s favorite subject is music and she is an A student in this subject you mav he sure. She desires to become a supervisor of music. Smithy is an active member of the Glee Club, and it is generally prophesied by tin- directors of that organization that the eluli would he a total failure if it were not reinforced by her Galli-Curci voice. This cherub delights us with snatches of song whenever the spirit moves us to repair to the Barn Studio. ■ II.. Singing is not the least of Smithv ' s accomplishments for it is in her manipu- lation of the like that she portrays her greatest skill.

Piggy soon showed us how football was played in Trevorton. We profited by that exhibition for due to his prowess in tackling and his skill in leadership he was given the captaincy. His success does not stop at football. He lias the skill and stature for a backguard of no little renown. Swinehart was not only a leader in athletics.

This has been shown by her ability to conduct the gym classes in the absence of the gym instructor. Martha has a pleasant alto voice, which is used to great advantage to assist in the church choir and the Glee Club. Mart is a member of the Music Ap- preciation Club which was formed this year. The Delta Phi Sigma Sorority chose her as its treasurer; while the French Cluh can also boast of her as one of its members. She has chosen teaching in the primary group as her vocation, and she is weil capable of filling this position. Well, Mart, the best wishes of your FRANCES AGNES TATE Saint Cecelia Academy Scranton, Pa. Tatie Here ' s Tatie! — coal black hair, brown eyes, and a ready laugh. Tatie ' s humor is infectious. Her name is a by- word for tun and a good time. We like her company so much we wish she were twins. There is just one word that de- scribes her adequately — charming. Tatie ' s hobby is bridge. Her skill in this pastime is proverbial. In fact, she can be depended upon to do most anything well. In basketball, she proved a valuable forward. If there was a lack of music in the gym she was ready to help out at the piano. As for danc- ing — her 1 many partners prove her grace. We wonder if the attention she re- ceives from the male sex is the cause or the effect of her sunny disposition. It is impossible to be in the vicinity without seeing, hearing, and loving Tatie; but with all her tun she does have serious moments, which are just as enjoyable as the humorous ones. As a teacher she is bound to be suc- cessful; and although her teaching years look short, still she has our good wishes for that and for what happens after!

He was not an athlete to any great extent; but when it came to the annual class football frames, you would always find him there with bells on. Then again he was a pianist of no mean reputation. Time after time he and his dormitory orchestra thrilled us at the after dinner-dances with a quality .if music that would make Paul White- man feel ashamed. Another tiling which made Marv so p.. pular was his inev- itable line, especially with the weaker sex. As a studcnl Marv was a little above the average. You could easily discern this by looking at his eyes, be- cause they were of the far-seeing type. There was another place that he highly distinguished himself, and that was at meals. He could certainly put away an awful supply, hut strange to say it did not show itself on him. This was prob ably due to the fact that it had such a Ion- wav to travel to reach its desti nation.

He appears quiet but still water runs deep. The proof of this could he had by living with him for three years in North Hall. Nick came to Normal from Hanover High. He had spent his extra time in athletics. It was a lucky find for us when he reported for the various sports. Nick ' s specialty was basketball. When we were on the lower side of a score, you could hear the voices from the crowd, Give it to Nick. That was good advice for a basket appeared larger to Nick than to others. This is shown by the column at the end of each game. Due to his ability with the inflated pill Nick has captained the Bloomsburg quintet to victory and won recognition for his Alma Mater even before leaving it. Quiet but oh my. He surely had that failing of most men. The weaker sc was the cause for it. We all think Nick could become an author or poet. If so. his first hook would probably be an edition of Boots.

Billie Walshey A scholar, an athlete, everybody ' s friend — this was Billie. Being a three letter man marks Billie as an out- standing athlete. Three successive years on the. gridiron built for Walshey an enviable record since he received a letter each year. Billie was also a shining light in basketball fur in this sport he .ils.. accumulated three letters. As a member of the track team Billie was a member of the relay team which placed in the Penn relays. Though athletics played a prominent rule in Walshey ' s life, his greatest achievements were as a scholar. Never did lie enter any classroom unprepared, because he devoured his studies as he devoured athletics. Yet with all of his work he could always find time for a little fun. Whenever a little joke was played in the Third Floor Suite. Walshey was always found to be the instigator. A winning smile coupled with a kind word made Billie stand, out as every- body ' s friend. His prominence was not only displayed among the boys but also among the fairer sex. At all social gatherings Billie was seen in the pres- ence of a female. Here ' s hoping that your success in life is as marked as it was at this institution. GERTRUDE WARNER Weatherly High Schooi Weatherly, Pa. Gretchen Who is this quiet, unassuming young lady?

S. as a member of the Shortess f. r aiif. r . She. like many others, has several pro- nounced co-ed ' s weaknesses. The great- est of these it seems is cats. We can scarcely blame her though, for she has one more great ambition before her after leaving her Alma Mater — specializing in II ■ Economics. Many of the girls wonder how Gret- chen spends her leisure time, for she is seldom seen and. oh! never heard. On these occasions one can find her indulg- ing in ot f her pet hobbies — reading. Gretchen ' s one great philosophy is to keep on smiling. She has a smile and n cheery word for everyone she meets. Keep it up, Gretchen. We arc certain that with such an at- titude and with her desire for persever- ance maintained in future years, the good wishes of her classmates will be as- sured. 2H nr S ZEE LEILA WAITERS Berwick High School Mifflinville, Pa.

Here she puts her keen sense of humor into play. Leila is a good all-around sport, ready and willing to lend a helping hand in any ease. One seldom sees lier alone.

She is always ready for mischief, and just as ready when there is work to be done. She is always able to draw a smile from her classmates by her witty re- marks. Besides loving to talk Mary loves to sing; that is her reason for joining the Senior Girls ' Glee Club of B. S. X. S.

We have not learned for sure what Elsie expects to do after she leaves school, but we think ' she expects to teach the cherubs of the Intermediate grades, since she has chosen that group for her practice teaching. Whether or not she will teach at Gro- vania is not known. It is most likely she will since it is near home. There is usually a certain attraction at home (?) — or near. We must not forget to make mention of Elsie ' s athletic ability, especially in basketball. She surely was a stone- Mall guard. Those who know her will conclude that Elsie was a good all-around sport when it came to give one a helping hand. Those deeds will not be forgotten and for the future we wish her good luck in her undertaking. 2? IflJ XTL PAULINE LOUISE WELLIVER Bloomsbuhg High School 151 isburg, Pa.

Marg is one of those girls who be- lieve in having a jolly good time along with her studies; perhaps this is why we all like her. She can always be found where jokes are being told and is usually at the head of them. Her sparkling good wit and her ready good humor have won her a place in the hearts of her main classmates. Margaret was always ready to eat regardless when, where, or what. She usually attends all football games and seems to he very interested. We wonder Marg is aNo interested in dancing. You could usually find her strutting away in the gym at all the dances. When you first meet Marg, you would think she is a very quiet girl, hut in a short time your opinion will change. Because id ' many good qualities we consider ourselves fortunate in having Marg is one of the members of our group. MARGARET J. WILLIAMS Hanover Township High School Lee Park Pa. Peg. This is one of those ambitious girls who likes school so much that she takes her summer vacations to continue her studies. Although she is not with us this term, she is very well remembered by all those who knew her. Her at- tractive red hair and pleasing person- ality lias won for her many friends in and out of Normal. She is that athletic type of girl who is always ready to run at the call of ath- letics. He it tennis, soccer, hikes, or basketball, Peg is always there. Did you ever go out to the tennis court that you didn ' t find a red-headed girl? It wasn ' t onlj because of her red hair that Peg was outstanding in athletics, hut because she reallj was one of the best sports we ever had. Peg was a whiz when it came to her studies. She always managed to have her work well done before entering outside activities. We don ' t expect Peg to stay in the profession very long — how could she? — hut whatever she may choose we wish her heaps and heaps of success. an or § [OX £ and OCE BERYL WILLIAMS Edwardsville II i : i Sc , Edwardsville, Pa.

In this impression one was not disap- pointed; for it has often been proven by Louie ' s unfailing waj of getting his work done on time that he never loafed on the job. His unflinching attitude in tackling any job regardless of its dif- ficulties convinces us of the confidence lie had in himself. When a man has confidence in himself half the task can be considered completed. His shyness when in the presence of others can he attributed to only one thing— the fact that he was here for work and not pleasure. That he was shy can not he denied. If any person can prove that Louie ever accom- panied a girl to a social function, the boys of North Hall would like to know it. For surely no sight could have been more unusual. That he worked hard we can assure you for the lights in his room often burned far into the night. He has the qualities of the plodder. This alone can bring him success.

In football Zidy was known to bis teammates as the Hrisko of Blooms- burg. He played guard on the squad, and he played in great fashion until our star linesman was injured. Basketball was the next sport. Be- cause Eddie was guard on the football team, he wished to he guard on the basketball squad, and so he was. Zidy played the running guard position, and his wonderful playing was the talk of the school after each game. They say Caesar was ambitious, but so was Zidy. He went out to capture tin- third sport, baseball, and he did. He played tin- hot corner and played it in big league style.

II nr [QX Extra-Curricular Activities At the beginning of your Senior year a new custom was inaugurated, that is. each Student of the institution should begin at least one extra- curricular activity each semester. The purpose was to give the student an opportunity to advance himself along certain lines in which he was in- terested, to .aid him socially, to give him experience as a leader and or- ganizer, and to bring about a closer teacher-student relation. The students readily saw the benefits of this movement and the forma- tion of many new clubs was the Outcome. The clubs were formed l,y stu- dents who were interested in certain subjects and wanted to increase their knowledge along these lines. The instructors of these subjects were usually chosen to act as advisors. Each club functioned on time outside the class room and the work of the club was placed entirely in the hands of its members. The students were well pleased with the co-operation shown, especially, Since the goals which each cluh strived to .attain were reached. Success was the result. 3T '   , ' g WW HI! l The Women ' s Student Government Association In Bloomsburg we find an institution for the propogation of education. In this institution we also find another institution — The Women ' s Student Government Association. This is an inheritance which is handed to each incoming group of students to be eared for and developed by them. It is a means by which these students govern themselves among themselves, for it is they who decide upon leaders and they who form the followers— not that this following is passive, however. In fact, all the laws which are made are originated in the students, framed by the students, and followed by the students. In other words, we govern ourselves. Thus we have passed by the stage of compulsory guidance. We are no longer so much of a burden upon adult shoulders as we once were — something to he care- fully guided and watched. Now we are aide to form principles of conduct and act accordingly by means of individual self-control. This is what student government means — conduct judged and acted upon by individual common sense. In Bloomsburg we feel that student government is a part of us — a vital effect in our dormitory life. We have our officers, over floor supervisers. and our proctors — all students and all equals — and we govern ourselves efficiently and practically. Thus we hand an institution down to the future and in doing this hope for its being nurtured and fostered until the result is ideal — complete, free government by the students of Bloomsburg State Normal School.

It was organized in the school year 1924-25, and today is a group of talented actors and actresses. The club is directed by Miss Alice Johnston of the Normal faculty. Under her supervision it puts on an annual production, the presentation of which is looked forward to yearly by the public. Th. first production was the great stage success. Pomander Walk. Tin- one given during the second year was The Rivals. Both plays were extremely successful as to cast, costuming, scenery, and management. The great work of the club, however, lies in th.- weekly one-act pro- ductions for members only. These are chosen, directed, acted, and pro- duced by the students. On special occasions these are presented to the student body. For the first time since the beginning of its history, the club has been given the privilege of presenting those whose efforts warrant an A gra de, a pin furnished by the school.

At each of these meetings, a program of interest is given, usually by the students themselves. Lectures are illus- trated by means of maps, colored slides, and moving pictures. The polar expeditions, the Mexican oil fields, the Swedish resources, and our own national forests have been among the topics of discussion. We have enjoyed our society very much, and now we look forward to many more hours of interest and entertainment through it.

That was the aim of the school at the beginning of the 1926-1927 term. An editor-in-chief was elected whose business it was to select competent assistants, reorganize the paper and give to the student body and faculty a paper worth while. The first step was the accomplishment of an eight-page paper instead of the heretofore four-page edition. In order to do this it was necessarj to organize additional departments. Each member of the stall was made responsible for certain work. One night a week the stall met, discussed school events, made suggestions and in a co-operative way made for the betterment of the school paper. It was only the enthusiastic spirit of the entire student body and faculty that lent to the true success of the Maroon and Gold. Members of the faculty were eager to give assistance and wrote many articles. Each week the paper contained articles or poems written by the students. When Friday came the co-operative spirit was manifest throughout the entire school with the cry. Is the Maroon and Gold out? The success of the (taper may in part lie attributed to Mr. George J. Keller, the faculty advisor. He was ever ready to suggest new and inter- esting schemes. We cannot neglect to remark of tile tireless effort of .lames Courscn. F.ditor-in-C ' hief .

UL ■ur TEL The cRjvals it was on Friday evening, April the thirtieth, that the Dramatic Club prepared to give its play for the year nineteen hundred and twenty-six. The play chosen was The Rivals. written by that very clever playwright, Richard Brinsley Sheridan. Miss Johnston, with the aid of a selected committee, had chosen the cast. The committees in charge had worked for weeks on the properties and cos tunics; rehearsals had been most faithfully attended, and the stage was .all set. ready for the appearance of that Goddess, fair and free. In Heaven yclept. Euphrosgne; and by men heart easing Mirth. The setting ' of the play is laid in Bath, England, in the year seventeen hun- dred seventy-five. It is a story of rivalry, as the name suggests— rivalry for the hand of a young girl. Lydia. Lydia is the niece of Mrs. P. Malaprop, a woman of high ambitions, who ingeniously misapplies without mispronouncing large words. Captain Absolute, a young man whom Lydia has never seen and who has never seen her. is made an unwilling suitor for her hand by the scheming of his father and the ambitions Mrs. Malaprop. Rebelling, be assumes another name, Beverly, and. as ignorant of Lydia ' s identity as she is of his. courts her. This brings about a situation which, as it develops, involves Mrs. Malaprop and Lydia ' s Other suitors in a number of mirth-provoking incidents. The climax comes when Mrs. Malaprop and Lydia arrive just in time to pre- vent a duel between Beverly and two other aspirants. In tile ensuing scene. Mrs. Malaprop acquires a much-wanted though despaired— of husband in the person of Sir Anthony Absolute. The interpretations of their roles by the members of the cast were most excel- lent. The following made up the cast of characters: Lydia - - - Eleanok Evans Mrs. Malaprop - - Gertruoe Baucheb Sir Anthony Absolute - Archie Austin Captain Absolute La whence C ' oolbaugh Sir Lucius O ' Trigger - - - Victor Anskis I aulkland - Joseph Bradshaw Acres ------ - Hugo Reimeb Julia ---------- Jessie Zimmerman Lucy ----- _._- Helen Percival Coachman - -------- Raymond Getz [ ' ag ----------- Jack Fortner Laird - ------ Philip Keil Great credit is due Miss Johnston for the excellent manner in which she handled the production and also to the members of the different committees.

The way i which they approached their task, and the firry enthusiasm with which they attacked every obstacle that confronted them more than assured their success. Deviating from the custom of filming the Junior High School Art Club production, they decided to film a story which would have Normal School students as well as Junior High Sehoo! students as its characters. The result was Silver King, a story of the North Woods. The story was written by Professor George Keller, of the Normal School faculty, and had as its leading star, his wonder dog. Silver King. It sets a precedent in the cinema world ill that it combines the silent with the spoken drama. In this way it not only entertains the audience with a screen production hut also brings them in personal contact with the character whom they see on the screen. The insertion of the spoken act into the story creates a desirable atmosphere for the audience and enables them to live spiritually as a part of the tale. Mr. Keller, win. directed the Junior High School Art Club produc- tions, also directed the filming of ' Silver King. ' ' and to him can he ac- credited a great deal of the success of the project. The photographing of the picture was in tin- hands of Mr. I. inn of the Victoria Amusement Co. The tryouts for parts in the picture were closely contested and many were the students who tried for the different characters. From these were chosen the cast which consisted of: Silver Kim. as Dorothy Richards as Arthur Jenkins as George Janell as Theodore Vital as Rachael Miller as Stanley I.ivsey as l ' .i.i l.l Jones as - Silver King- loan Stepheson and Mrs. Stepheson Bud Labar J iggs Janell Muka Joan Stephenson (when young) a Little Black Boy Henry Stepheson Joseph Bradshaw, Hugh Van Aernam, Everett Jamieson, Lew Edmunds, Edward Yarashefski, Richard Frymire, and James Coursen— Trappers l nr TTT I $ HI ITU ARTCLU6 e«Ot UGTI0H 2? or in i £ TTT Vied Viper of Hamlin 2H Believing that each yen- should be a greater success than the one pre- ceding seems to be the motto of the Junior High School Art Club. With this in mind they strove night and day trying to make The Pied Piper of Hamlin ' ' a better production than any yet shown before the people of this vicinity. To the majority of the many people who attended each per- formance they succeeded far beyond all expectations. Taking the beloved and well known poem of Browning, they revised it so that its dramatization was a pleasure to young and old. Although it was made into a drama which contained all the essentials of a masterpiece, its moral was not neglected. And because of its moral points many people left after seeing it with a better conception of their duty than they had before. In it was enough humor to release for short moments the power of the story. It was not only the most stupendous work ever attempted by the Art Club in tin- amount of time put on it. but also in the number of Junior High School students used in its cast and the number of Normal School students who aided in its production. Like all the Art flub work it was directed by Professor George Keller, and much of its success can be credited to his efficient work. He was abl assisted by Miss Loose, who took charge of the dancing, and Miss Robin- son, who managed the distribution of the tickets. The Bloomsburg State Normal School Orchestra, under the direction of Miss Harriet Moon-, furnished the music for the production and greatly pleased the audience. Some of the students who directly contributed are: Arthur Jenkins Anna Wendel Sterling Strausser Bernard Roan The program issued free to all persons attending the show was by far tire work of its kind ever attempted at this school in ?Q3J lull TEH ■ l IX TJ IBJ S F O R,X S JTB Captain Swinehart Captain VanBugkirk Basketball Captains Captain Sorber Track Captain Kane Bast ball l ur $ Lettermen William Swinehart (Piggie) Arthur Jenkins (Jinx) William Walsh (Billy) Leo McGrath ( Mar ) Lyndon Sohber (Lyndie ) Rowland Metcalf (Mike) Raymond Hawkins (Hawkey) Leo Moore (Moore) Thornley Booth (Coach) Francis Garrity (Red) Jasper Fritz (Jap) Alexander Kraynack (Eckie) George Mathews ( Kx ) Armond Keller (Army) Kashmir Wadas (Joe) Archie Austin (Arch) Joseph Bradsiiaw (Brad) Hugh VanAerman (Van) Edward Yarashefski (Zidy) Elfed Jones ( Vid ) ( Ilarence Ruch ( Ruchv ) Basketball Arthur Jenkins, (Jinx) Everett Jameison (Jamie) William Walsh (Billy) .1 mi:s CoURSEN ( Jimmie ) Am nil-: Austin ( Skipper) Nicholas VanBuskirk (Nick) William Swinehart ( PiggJ ' Raymond Hawkins (Hawkey) Francis Garrity ( Red ) Leo McGrath ( Mae) Kashmir Wadas (Joe) Wilbur Fisher (Fish) Arthur Slusser (Artie | Edward Yarashefski ( Yabby ) George Mathews (Ex) Alex Krayn ick i Eckie ) Arthur Jenkins (Jinx) Lyndon Sorber (Lyndie) Ralph Davies (Deacon) .1 ames ( Ioursen ( Jimmie ) William Walsh (Billy) Archie Austin (Arch) William Rusiiin ( Bill ) Arthur Jenkins (Jinx) Archie Austin ( Arch i Joseph Bradshaw (Brad) Herman Fowler (Hep) Bernard Roan (Roan) Francis Garrity ( Red I William Rusiiin (Bill) Leo McGrath (Mae) ® TJL § s TEE Football ins; With the opening of school in September an advent of winter came the sport of men Fool the air and the fellows una read] for it.

With it came a change in our sports. With the football season having basketball. The chances for a championship team was great, for we had on the squad such men as VanBuskirk, Jenkins, and Garrity for for- wards. Austin and McGrath for centers, and Walsh. Swinehart. Hawkins, and Yarashefski for guards. With these men as a nucleus. Coach Booth and Captain VanBuskirk soon had a smooth working team that did not know what defeat meant but .always M kept fighting. I The team suffered to a great extent about mid-season for the services of Captain VanBuskirk, Jenkins, Hawkins. Walsh, and Swinehart were lost through injuries, and graduation. This just made the hoys work harder, night after night, until they again de- veloped into a smooth working quintet. No doubt the loss of these men was the cause for the defeats the team suffered about this time. The hoys, however, soon hit their stride and de- lighted their followers by displaying the ability, team work, and fight that has been the characteristic of every athlete who is playing for the honor of his Alma Mater. The season was opened at home with Shippensburg Normal as our opponents. They won. but our boys say they did not hit their pace and could come out on top if given the chance, which, however, was denied them. The following week the boys met Bucknell Freshmen, a far larger team than ours, but the ability of our hoys came to the fore and gave us a victory. The next game, Lock Haven, away from home, also proved a victory. The following week Keystone Academy met de- feat at our hands, but we were then forced to how our heads in defeat, losing two games to our ancient rivals.

Since that time it has grown until it is now the outstanding event of its kind in Centra] Pennsylvania, ami is the only event of its kind sponsored by any Nor- mal School in this state. The tournament was at that time in its infancy, but in the ress that have followed, it has grown to a point where it riv;i school tournaments held by other Universities and Colleges in the leading high inated in the sprin Newport Townsl; Since then the number of teams competing have been increased. The fo spring the teams had increased to six with Newport Township again triun The following year this number increased to eight teams. That year the in. lit was won by the Wilkes-Barre rive. Again the number of teams inc and sixteen teams were on a purely elimination d the next year. The tournament now had to be run Taylor High School triumphed that year with Wilkes- Bi Last year a new plan was introduced and the event was extended over two week-ends. Thus enabling more teams to enter. Sixteen teams were again entered under this new plan, and Newport Township was victor for the third time in this tournament. The tournament lias grown so powerful in state basketball circles, that instead of an invitation meet as it was whin first started, schools now ask for per- mission to enter their teams. Continuing under this new plan, the tournament this year was held during the week-ends of March 18-19 and 25-26. Sixteen strong teams were entered. It was one gigantic battle for supremacy from beginning to end. By superb team work in the final game Xanticoke defeated Old Forge by the score of 29 to IS and thus won the scholastic championship. Newport and Coal Township finished in the order named after making strong bids for the title. JUi u nm Athletic Leaders As Athletic Leaders it has been our honored duty to take charge of Junior and Senior gym classes and of .ill girls ' athletics of B. S. N. S. During the second semester of our Junior year, we were chosen by bal- lot, from the list of honor students, to represent this organization. After a v.ry interesting initiation we were put on duty and later at the Athletic Banquet, we received our much prized hands which were presented by Miss Zimmerman. The field meet, which was won in 1926 by the Juniors, was followed by the Athletic Banquet in the Dining Room. Nearing the end of the term of ' 26 an election took place in which the following were elected to take up the work of the preceding officers. They were as follows: President - - - - Verna Medley Secretary-Treasurer ------ Margaret Healey The leaders of tile sports during the term of 1926-27 were: Hiking ------- Marshall, Jones, Chapley Tennis ----------- Harris Baseball -------- Medley, President Basketball ---------- Marshall Although the year of 1926 has been successfully completed many well organized plans have been made for the year of 1927. We ' re hoping that many active Juniors will be qualified to enter this organization and to carry on the work of their predecessors faithfully. ?? ? ' £?

This was evident to anyone who was watching the game, for the girls were very enthusiastic and watched eagerly the entire scores of the day. The Juniors played doubles and therefore thirty-two girls were able to play in an afternoon. This was necessary, due to the number of girls wish- ing to play. The courts were reserved two afternoons a week. This tourna- ment was an elimination tournament, every team playing every other team. The winners of the Junior tournament were Helen Hutton and Eliza- beth Ward. They played seven games. The runners-up in the tournament were Mildred Sechak and Mar-ant Oswald. The Senior tournament was a single tournament. The girls had to make their own reservations for 1 1 it courts. This was also an elimination tournament and much enthusiasm was aroused. The winner of this tourna- ment was Alta George, and the runner-up was Ht-len Hess. 2X ?

As our hockey field was too rough to use, we invented a new one— the lawn between Science Hall and the Gymnasium. This new field proved to be an excellent one. The girls were divided into twenty teams, eleven n ' irls playing On a team. This arrangement made a total of two hundred and twenty girls who were able to enjoy hockey. The girls were all inexperienced players, but be- fore the season was over some good players had been developed. The We ware ably coached by our gymnasium teacher, Miss Kathryn Loose. The tournament was won by the Red and Black team, who played six names, winning five names and tying one. Their captain was Mildred Sechak. The runner-up in the tournament was the Gold team, who played five names, winning three, tying one. and losing one.
