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?!.

' = 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. OX M
