BAKELES: Whose untiring efforts in our behalf, and whose fine personal- ity and splendid lite have inspired us to grow mentally, morally, and physically, we dedicate this thirteenth volume of the Obiter I • 9r t O O. H. Bakeless, M. A. A teacher — A fnend Mr. Bakeless first came lo this Teachers College in 1890. In 189. he left to resume his studies toward a higher degree. After earning his Al.. . he taught at the Carlisle Indian Training School for several years. Mr. Bakeless again took up his work at Bloomsburg in 1902 and lias served faithfully ever since. Mr. Bakeless is a true teacher. In the many years that he has taught us we found him pleasant at all times. Seldom was his countenance lacking that cheerful aspect for which we will remember him ; every day found him greeting his students with a pleasant smile ; his patience was as the Rock of Cibralter in trying to make us tuiderstand the deep thoughts involvetl in the philosophy of education. His tireless efforts in the interests of this Senior Class, not onl)- as a group but as individuals, can nexer be repaid. The Senior Class activities were always graced with his presence and his ad ice was always heeded. As individuals he helped us to solve many (jf the difticult problems which arose during our school life. We not onlv remember Mr. Bakeless as a teacher, but also as a friend and pal : manv times during our stay at this school he has emulated the characters in Oliver W. Holmes , The Boys. He had been mixed up with the boys on several occasions, but was not taken out without mak- ing a noise. He was always accepted as one of The Boys. At con- ferences he always had a funny story to tell, which was often the means of emphasizing the point being presented. In t. ' iking leave of Mr. Bakeless we cherish in our hearts the thougiit that we have been influt ' iiced greatly by his ideals, and with these in mind will make greater and better teachers.

For four years he was Superintendent of Schools in Waynesboro, and in the fall of 1887. he came to the Bloomsburg State Normal School, as a member of the faculty, upon the invitation of Dr. D. J. Waller, Jr. lie served the school a a member of the i ' aciilt ' from 1SS7 until the time of his resignation to the Board of Trustees July 1. 1926. i ' his record has given him a continuous service in the school of ihirt -nine years, and as a student or teacher of forty-five years, lie was a member of that small grouji of men, who laid the founilation for the success of the school, and who through its earlier and later years gave the institution the exceptional reputation, which it has always enjoyed in educational circles. Geograjjliv was his specialtv and. while at the school, he built up one of the finest geographical laboratories in the State. ithout any expense to the institution. During these years Professor Albert was much in demand in Institute work. He has lectured in every county in Pennsyhania, in some many times. He has done similar work in eighteen different states, from Maine to Alabama, and west to Illinois and Nebraska. Pie has been active in the religious and civic life of Bloomsburg and always ready to work for anv worthy cause. He was President of the Bloomsburg Y. M. C. A. twelve years. A devoted member of the Lutheran Church, he was chairman ()f the Building Committee, which erected the new edifice dedicated to worship Nov. 8. 1925. Prof, . lbert was always a sincere friend of the students and ever ready to help us. 1 le was active in the w-ork of the College V. AL C. A. and Y. . C. . .. and was of the firm conviction that the finest attribute of every student and j)rospective teacher was a strong Christian character. Believing that The world ' s a stage on which all parts are played, the Staff has attempted to portray in this thirteenth volume oi the Obiter the re- birth of our Alma Mater, and the renewed zeal of her govern- ing program which made the Drama ot Bloomsburg 10 Xl l i 1 X 1 I ■ 1 4 i i. i I i I t ki I ■ .

Followiiii:; his tjraduation from Central High School in 19U4, he decided on teachint; as his life ' s work, and entered the l ' hiladel])hia School of I ' edagogy. In 19U(i he took his first leaching jjosi- tion in the Kindertim I ' .lenientary School. From the hes inning, the work of Dr. Haas has heen exceptional, and he always seemed exempt from most of the ditticulties and embarrassment which usually beset the novice. The T ' hiladeliihia School of Pedagog) ' has bestowed many honors upon him, Ian being possessed with an insatiable desire for self-inipro ement, he kept on with those studies which might make him of still wider jirofessional usefulness. He recei ed his Bachelor ' s degree from Temple University in 1913, and his degree of ALA. froiu the University of Pennsylvania in 1922. In the year 1924 Dr. Haas was appointed Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion, and with his past experience made an excellent man for the position. Owing to the death of Dr. Becht, Dr. Haas became Superintendent of Pub- lic Instruction. Dr. Haas has the combination of professional, administra- tive, and executive skill of which all great educators are made. Dr. Haas became President of the lUonni burg State Teachers College in 1927. All the students have learned to Ime him, and his influence will be felt in their lives after they have left the college. Dr. Haas is not only an excellent instructor and administrator, but a wonderful counselor and friend. He is a member of the Phi Delta Kajipa Fraternity. I I i I . I I .

Irvin Shortess Tn our Junior year wlien the question of choosing an advisor came be- for the chiss. our thoughts naturally turned to one who seemed so friendly and so interested in us, and we chose Mr. Shortess to act as our counselor for the next two years. Mr. S. Irvin Shortess was born in York, Pennsylvania. He received his early education in the public schools of the state, and graduated with the A.B. degree from Albright College. Later he did graduate work in science at the University of Pennsyl- vania. He has taught in the High Schools of Sunbury, Wilkes-Barre. and Berwick, and in Girard College in Philadelphia. Aside from his major in- terest in science, he has done some work in music, and is able to assist in various musical organizations in our school. He is a member of the Masonic Order and of the Kiwanis Club, and so is active in the community affairs as well as those of the campus. He has ever been ready to assist us in every capacity and to encourage us in all of our efforts to make our class a successful organization. As a class, we have enjoyed contact with one who is not only an instructor, but a true friend. 26 ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ■ ' ' ' ' rrr ■ ' - M ' Li.i 1. % • X • 27 L f I 1 i . 1 I . i. ... . i . 1 . . . . . . . . . , ' rr i Gone But Not Forgotten Not so long ago. when we stop to think aliout it, a very anxious and excited group oi xinuig people made their wa - to Jiloomsburg for the first time. There were ahout four hundred of us in all. and 1 wonder if we will ever forget that iirst day here. It did not take us long to get settled, how- e er. and after ahout a month of ln-ing hoiuesiek, feeling strange, and what not, we became acquainted with the hy and wherefor of the institution. About the Iirst thing to greet us and to occupy our thoughts and atten- tions was Freshman Customs. We ncNer want to forget those days of green ribbons and black dinks, to say nothing of the penalties attached for dis- obedience. But we found that serving under the upper classmen only made us more capable of accomplishing the work of prospective school teachers. We had not been here long before our class was organized, and we be- gan work in earnest. There are many social affairs which we cannot help remembering, such as the Kid Party. The costiunes and programs were well worked out by those in charge, and every one voted a good time. A cast composed of class members staged The Goose Hangs High, a play which was a credit to all concerned. The most important event of all was our class prom. Here we showed the seniors our ability to entertain. The Gym was beautifully decorated, and the colors, together with the music made every one ' s heart glad. We excelled, not only socially but in other things as well. Athletic teams and club activities always had a good proportion of Freshiuen rep- resentatives. We owe much credit to the members of the Faculty who helped guide us through our first year at College. Our success here has been due chiefly to the standards we set as Freshmen, and we feel better equipped as future teachers because of that year spent here. f UjJ i i i i t i ' ii J M«  i jj W b M   M MM t- JL -| t_| l i 1 1 1 . l a i d i M fcfcfc X ;; B -(jiine Days 20 I J AJ l i ' ' i i M ' a Vu ' o ' V m V i ' ■ ■ ' - The Obiter In the make-up of a g-ood annual there are three important elements, the Juiancial, the literary, .ind the artistic. ' i o place these elements on a higher plane has been the o])jcctive toward which the 192S ( )l)iUT . taff worked diligently and long, jjroducing as a re sult the finest Year Book since the origination of the cus- tom in 1915. The Financial element was under the capable direction of the Business and . d ertising Managers. Financing the ])ublication of tlie book re- quired considerable ability along business lines. In size it compares favorably with any puljlication j)ut out by a State Teachers ' College. Knowing that it would be ini])OSsible to make the book a success by student subscription alone, the Advertising Manager waged an extensive and intensive campaign among the business men of Bloonisburg and surrounding towns. The literary element represents the efforts of the entire class, and for that reason may not have fared as well as the jireceeding or following element. The abilities of the various individuals who contributed are not the same. The stand- ard set at the beginning of the year was always rigidly adhered to. however, and any contrilnitions not measuring up to standard were returned to the author to be rewritten or were revised by the Editor and his two associates. By their efforts they have succeeded, even though handicapped by the large amount of printed material, in improving the literary element. We were fortunate in hax ' ing a capable individual directing the artistic ele- ment of the annual. The border designs and all the art work are products of his pen. The theme was suggested by him and met the unanimous approval of the Stafif. An examination of the beautiful, original sketches and designs will leave no doubt that the artistic standard has lieen raised to a higher level than heretofore. We have put forth every effort to make the 1928 Obiter better than any pre- ceding Bloonisburg publication. The highest quality photographs were secured. The engravers put forth extra eiifort to make the engravings faultless. The greatly improved campus views, alone, make this book worth having. Innova- tions introduced by the Art Editor have made the snap-shot and group sections better than e er. From the first to the last page there is manifested to even the most casual observer an extraordinary amount of work. The Statt, however, are satisfied that they have given their best eft ' orts. Your pride in ownership will be their reward. 1J(J ' ' ■ — ' 11-1 i ' 1 ' ' I ' l-ir ■ ■ - Mtrg iii c i M i Vi i Francis A.

ABBETT Bloomslmrg His ' ' School Rupert, Pa. Kate She isn ' t tall, she isn ' t short She isn ' t thin or fat: She ' s just about halt-way between And a jolly good sport at that. Kate comes from the large railroad cen- ter, Rupert. She entered Bloomsburg State Teachers College in the year of 1925. After due consideration she chose the Junior High School as the field of her endeavors. This is sufBcient to prove to us that Kate has lots of ambition for very few girls elect this work. This young lady with the smiling coun- tenence is known to have a loving and gen- tle disposition. She is inclined to be quite studious, but not to the extent that slie misses all the fun. She is one of the best sports in the class and is always ready for a good time. If you hear any one saying, What books shall I take home? you ' ll know that Kate is near. Kate likes athletics and her main hobby is basketball. Another of her hobbies is writ- ing plans for Math. She is a shark in mathe- matics and solves all the problems in the Locker room. She is known as one of the triplets. Mllly and Hester never feel quite complete until Kate is with them, especially to eat, drink and be merry. It is quite certain that Kate is going to make a successful teacher, but we can offer her a little valu- able advice — buy an alarm clock. Though she never worries we do give her credit lor thinking. Does Kate belong to any club? I should say she does. She takes an active part in the Girls ' Glee Club, the Mixed Chorus, and she is also a member of the Mu Phi Sigma. Her sunny disposition, ready wit, and keen sense of humor have won for her a wide circle of friends, all of whom wish her success. JULIA ABERANT (LASKI) Wyoming HiKh School King -toM, I ' a. .lule Jule is a true friend and a real good sport. Judging from all appearances one would think she is very quiet and sedate, but appearances are deceiving. She is good- natured and always willing to help others. Jule is quite an athlete; she is a shark at tennis and not so bad at other games. Jule is one of tlie most good-natured and jolliest girls in tlie dormitory. She is a happy-go-lucky girl and is expected to teach, but expectations do not always come true. Julia ' s favorite pastime is telling fortunes. Besides telling fortunes, Julia loves to eat. Why did Julia go home every week-end? Somehow, she just couldn ' t acclimate her- self to our college. It seems as if she would pine away if she had to stay more than two week-ends at the dorm. We thought that she would be a scliool teacher, but as it is, home economics has proven more attrac- tive to her — therefore she received her de- gree — MRS. We all extend our wishes for your suc- cess and happiness, Julia. 38 t I Li ( ' ' ■ -— ' ' ( ii u ' ii ' iiViirr HARRIET ADAMS Bloomsburg High Srhool Bloonisburg. Pa. Adams Here Is one of our quiet, conscientious students ( ? ) . Harriet was a member of tlie class of twenty-six of tlie Bloomsburg Higti Scliool. She is one of our popular girls, especially with the opposite sex. but she has a smile and a good wish for everyone. Harriet is one of our pleasure-loving girls, but loves her work too (?) — at least, she al- ways manages to keep within the favor of her teachers as well as her classmates. Harriet has decided to spend the rest of her life teaching the Intermediate Grades. We wonder how long her ambition will last. We hope for a long time, as she is capable of handling and understanding the chil- dren; but we are afraid not. knowing as much as we do about her popularity with the opposite sex. Just the same. Harriet is a true and sincere friend to everyone. She was an active participant in basket- ball, hockey, and volley ball, and a mem- ber of the Mixed Chorus. A willing heart, a helping hand. Always ready on demand. Best wishes and success to you, Harriet, in all you undertake in future life. :, i  l 1 f I nt JUi HELEN M. ADZEMA Mt. Carmel HIsli School .Alt. Carmel. I ' a. Helen Helen is Mt. Carmel ' s contribution to us. At the beginning of her Junior Year she thought she would not like us and our school, but she soon became acquainted with a number of us and therefore decided we weren ' t so bad — after all. We found in Helen a worthwhile friend. She is that special type in whom you can find a satis- factory solution to your problem — knowing that it is sincere. She has well displayed her ability in the field of teaching. The children were very fond of her. Helen has one weakness which is of es- pecial interest to us. Once in a while she decides to talk in her sleep. One night while under the hypnotic influence of sleep. Helen collected our Ed. Measurements Charts. Perhaps Helen will tell you how it came about. We can ' t say that Helen excels in sports. In sportsmanship, yes: in sports — (???) She likes to play a good game, but what ' s the use of carrying off the honors when there are so many other good athletes in the field. Moreover, don ' t think that Helen takes no interest in the opposite sex — merely be- cause you don ' t hear her comment on them doesn ' t necessarily mean she disregards tliem. To Helen we extend heartiest wishes for her success. 39 ' ' ' ■ ' ' • - ■ - ■ ' r ' ' ' ' r • ' ' ■ r il I r I jii ' ' - - ANNA ALBERT Scrantoii Ceiitnil Hif;li soliool Scraiiton. I ;i.

Sure enough, she usually has, and through her generosity many a girl has been saved from starvation. Food, however, is not her only line for. although she is small, she is the kind of girl who could be successful in most anything she uiidertakes. As a friend, no one could be more sincere, and yet her interesting and entertaining manner has surely kept her part of third floor from drastic actions when the blues come stealing around. As a basketball captain she is a wow! and when it comes to Camp Fire Girls she is all there, too. Having hailed fi-om Scran- ton she Is a member of the Electric City Club. but this does not necessarily accouirt for her being such a live wire. Her artistic ability is brought out in Sketch Club. ' When there is a poster or an artistic advertise- ment to be made, she is not only willing, but able to do justice to the occasion. The saying good things come in small packages. could not be applied more fitting- ly to anyone, than it to Anne. .MAF ' .EL ALRERTSOX lii ' iitoii H ' :tt ioii;il School ISeiiton. Pa. May Bell She has a musical and most poetic soul — She loves you if you mention Amy Lowell; Beethoven and Sinclair Lewis are her pets. She thrives on old Shakespearian sonnets. Grieg and Verdi just eat from her hand. And she wields a weird magnetism over ordinary man. When we tell about Mabel, we just have to mention the fact that her father is a dis- tinguished violinist. That is why she is so musical. Inheritance . . . Environment . . . things like that, you know. Mabel is one of these strangely magnetic, silent girls — the Abraham Lincoln type. She reads such men as Freud, but we are in- clined to think she likes John Erskine bet- ter — but would she admit it? No, Do you remember how she used to carry Galahad, and Adam and Eve around so preciously? You must never get in an argument with this lady, because she immediately takes out her little rifle, and shoots your logic full of holes with peculiar technical terms; so you don ' t know what she ' s talking about. That ' s one of her tactful ways. Last year she belonged to the Geographic Society and this year she is secretary of the Current Literature Club. If you want to know what the most demoralizing and talked -of book of the month is. ask Mabel. She knows. To wish this young lady success is fu- tile as she is the type that needs no help. i iM J  tw M w l w h Mii i li u ' « i i i i ti 1 GLADYS AMMERMAN Lake Vofatioiial His ' i Scliool Lake Ariel, Pa. Glad If you see a girl with her arms full of books and just about flying through the halls to class, you can be sure that it is Gladys. She is a very studious girl who always has her work done. She is a true pal, a good sport: she believes in the motto - — Work before play. Although Gladys was not a member of our class until this year, due to the fact that she was a member of the summer class, she soon made herself acquainted and has proven a worthy member. Gladys impresses one at first glance as being very quiet, but you should hear her with her gang. Without a doubt there is no one who participates more in the fun than she. She is a member of the Glee Club and Y , W. C. A. We often wonder why she waits im- patiently for the mail and then rushes down to get it. Our wonders cease when she comes back bringing Al as the main subject of discussion. Gladys likes to look at pictures of a Byke, but not a bike with wheels. It has been said thus: Personality is the key to success. If such is the case, we know that Gladys will make an excel- lent teacher. We all wish her the success and happiness she deserves. FAY M. APF ' LE.MAN Oranseville Hisli School Lightstreet, Pa. Fay Fay is one of our day students hailing from the big town — Lightstreet. Some seem to think Fay is very quiet. They do not know her well enough evidently. Fay does try to be serious at times, but Oh! Say! Have you seen her roll her eyes? Fays chief aim is to be a friend to every- one. Her reputation as a confidante is proof of this. It is never too much trouble for her to help anyone. Whenever possible, she is always there on the job to do what she can. She has fotmd pleasure in everything so far, and we are sure she will in the fu- ttire. Her greatest ambition is to become a teacher. We are sure she will be success- ful. Be easy on your pupils, Fay. Fay drives a Dodge, but she prefers rid- ing in an Essex. Perhaps the driver is the immediate reason, but what is the ulti- mate cause? To those who know thee not, no words can paint. And those who know thee, know all words are faint. 41 [ I I i ly. 1 I j ' ' I ' i jViu ' ' ii i ' irri ' i ' ' ■ i - ' ii I- ■ i%t CAROLYN BESSIE ATEN Berwick HIrIi Srliool Catawissa, Pa. Ted Carolyn, a little blue-eyed lass, lives not far from Mifflinville. She entered Blooms- burg State Teachers College in 1926 and took as her field of work the primary group for which she is well fitted. Her voice is sweet and she has always kept for her motto silence is golden. There is no doubt as to Carolyn making a success for we all know she will be well liked among the children. As we have spent two years with Carolyn we found out that she is a very good student. We always find Carolyn in a lonely corner by herself study- ing hard. She is very anxious to have her lesson plans in on time. Carolyn always looks pale around examination time and we wonder why; but just have a little social chat with Carolyn and she will soon tell you that her test marks are on her mind. She will be quite a successful housekeeper as she has had quite a lot of experience in boarding herself while going to school. She ranks high among the students. She is a member of the Glee Club and is always in her place every Wednesday night. Out- side of music her favorite sport is hiking and reading books. She learned to like books by being a member of the Book Club. Now Ted don ' t worry because you are so small, for all good things are done up in small packages. May success crown your efforts in your chosen profession. RUTH AVERY Central High Stiiool Scranton, Pa. Riithie Five feet tall, blue eyes, with all other things which go to make a blonde. Ruthie has a sunny disposition and a very strong will for such a tiny girl. Sociability, de- pendability, sympathy, and understanding make her a true pal. She likes to sing, dance, and read novels. Ruthie is a wonder at helping with eve- ning parties. When in a crowd everything is just niftie with Ruthie. You can wager that she will always have her work done for she is a conscientious and earnest student. Nothing is too much for her to do even if it does take quite a bit of her valuable energy to complete it. When she first came to school she was all WTapped up in athletics. Hockey took her fancy and she finished the season as a fast right wing on the winning team. Of course she kept up with all other sports and was one of the first to receive her numerals. In her junior year she carried two extra- curricular activities. Book Club and Music Appreciation Club. Ruthie was very for- tunate to have been chosen chairman of the Social Service Committee of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. She has filled this position ad- mirably. Ruthie also had the honor of becoming a member of the Mu Phi Sigma sorority. We wish her the best of luck in all her undertakings. 42 f V ' ' ' • • • ' ' ' ' ' ' - r ' i i jjj ji i j ' i i r i i LEROY A. BAER Hernick High Stliool Berwick. IM. ■■Cubby ■■Baer Leroy is one of the old guard who en- rolled at Bloomsbiu-g in the fall of 1925. Very few of us were aware of his presence that first year as he had very little time to devote to extra-curricular activities. The fact that he commuted and therefore spent most of his time on a North Branch bus prevented him from entering into the life of the school. By sacrificing his own pleasures to be of service to his classmates he was able to play first violin in the College Symphony Orchestra, and to become a candidate for the track team. His athletic ability was well demonstrated in the track meet at Dickinson Seminary. His preseverence and courage were visibly portrayed by his great finish in the mile run in which event he was pitted against the best ' milers in this section. Although Cubby ' had little time to de- vote to extra-curricular activities he was never without time to study. Every open period in his schedule was spent in the li- brary preparing work for his various classes. By hard work he has made quite a reputa- tion as a mathematician and scientist. His training teachers are convinced that they will never again have a student teacher who will compare favorably with Baer. They are certain, and we agree, that he is the criterion for all prospective teachers and students. With his characteristics we feel sure that he will be successful and we wish him much success and happiness. FRIEDA I5AHLER TiiWiir High School Taylor. Pa. Bahler Whenever you heard a hearty laugh resound, You knew that Frieda was around. Making everyone happy and gay. And chasing all the blues away. Frieda is one of the girls from Taylor. Everyone who knows her Is proud of the fact because she is one of those friends who proves true no matter how hard she is tried. She is usually happy and has the power to keep everyone else in the same mood. How does she do it? Well, have you heard her laugh? If you have you know that the blues and that laugh simply do not get along together. The laugh wins every time. Frieda is very sincere in all of her un- dertakings and when she sets out to win a goal you may rest assured that nothing else will liiatter until she has won it. By having this attitude toward her work she main- tains a high standing in her classes. She never abuses the good, old motto — ' Work before pleasure. ' but she always indulges in the seasonal games of basketball, volley ball, and tennis. As a school teacher, all of her friends know that she will be a success. She has chosen to teach the Intermediate grades, but it is her desire to teach a sixth-grade class. Nevertheless, we know that she v.-ill do her best In whatever grade she lea ches. . s a member of the Dramatic Club. Frieda alwavs played her part well. She was also president of the Delta Phi Sigma Sororitv which made progress with her as its leader. She displayed another one of her interests by becoming a member of the Camp Fire Girls ' Organization. We all wish her great success in her work. t U- ( J ' ' ' l i i ' ' ii ' ( I ' l y ' I ' li ii rt t ' i • ' gf r ' mv j fuiVMVii i ADELAIDE E. M. BAHR t ' eiitial Iligli School Sennit on. Pu. ■Ad- Blonde hair, blue eyes, a burst of laugh- ter and our Ad appears. Why say more? Ad came to us from Scranton in the great February rush of 1927. At first she was one of those quiet little maidens who was always seen but seldom heard, but now??? well, Ad can speak for herself. She spent a great deal of her time in the library. Studying? Oh, no! Not al- ways. Sometimes she was occupied with school matters but then again she was oc- cupied by a certain dark haired lad. Ad makes delicious cocoa as we have all found out and we know she can cook, so whether it was hunger or whether it was thirst we all went to Ad. There is only one thing which we fail to understand about Ad. She casts aside the famous slogan, Early to bed and early to rise makes one healthy, wealthy and wise. This fact alone will make us remember Ad as her favorite saying was, Oh! I want to sleep. But never mind Ad, we all have the same failing. Ad was a very active member of the Y. W. C. A. and of the Scranton Club. We wish her all the success whether it is in the chosen profession of teaching or — ! MARTHA LOUISE BAKER DiilJois Higli School Loui.sy Louisy came from Clarion Normal in the second semester of our junior year. At first we considered her very quiet and re- ticent, but our conception of her has great- ly changed since then, for Louisy has opinions of her own which she can ad- mirably state when the occasion arises. We often enjoy her unexpectedness. She has been a welcome addition to the commuter girls. Her friendliness is irresistible. When we ' re in need of a friend she ' s a friend indeed. Sympathetic, amiable, and sweet will describe her. ■Louisy enters everything with lots of pep and enthusiasim, even studying, al- though she sometimes has to burn the mid- night oil to accomplish this, for she thor- oughly enjoys movies, skating, dancing and turning the dials on the radio. Louisy carries her zeal into athletics even though it is sometimes only to catch the last seven o ' clock bus in the morning from Berwick. She is a loyal guard for the commuters ' basketball team. She has an indomitable desire for ice-skating. We won- der why? For extra-curricular work, she has chosen the Y. W. C. A. and Mixed Chorus. The Mu Phi Sigma claims her as an ofi cer. To an all-a-round good sport, and a lov- able pal we wish the best o ' luck. iJj .A l.i iMtmi i a  imh mimt i 0 lM Mi.. 11 GEORGE E. BAMFORD Plain- Hish Sthool Plains. Pa. Red Biim George Bamford came to us untamed from the wild and wooly fastness of Plains. He made his presence known by various means. Among other things it became gen- erally understood that he had taken a leading part in dramatics in high school: later it was discovered that he had led a cow across the stage in the class play. Nevertheless. Red did some mighty fine work in dramatics since his arrival at Bloomsburg. Last year he appeared in the Junior Class play. The Goose Hangs High. and his efforts were well received by the audience. He has also had prominent parts in several other Dramatic Club productions. Although much of his time was devoted to dramatics and other activities. Red al- ways found time for his studies. Pew and far between were the occasions on which he was reprimanded for neglecting his work. To complete the assignment for the following day and then have a good time was always Ham ' s aim. With his curly red hair and fine physique. Red was a popular figu re with the fair ones. For a time he remained one of the stalwarts of North Hall but upon hearing pleasant laughter sounding like the ring of a Bell he succumbed. Since that finie he is rarely seen unless he is accompanied by . In parting we wish him the best that life affords. ELLA BARNES Bloonislnirs Hish School Bloomsburs. Pa. Ed This young lady came to us with the group that entered here in our Freshman year. She is one of those good-natured girls who would do anything for a friend. As a result of her fine personality and sac- rifice she has many friends whose com- panionship have made her life enjoyable. Like all girls, she enjoys playing tricks on her schoolmates and it was the clever- ness of these pranks that 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 very often seen in the library busily engaged in selecting material for the following day ' s classes. As a student teacher she has made con- siderable progress as our observations and a review of her records have shown us. Her attitude toward her work and natural love for children tend to make her the ideal teacher. Our love for her has been increased, if that is possible, by the little favors she obliged us by doing. Judging by her application to her studies here we hope to hear of this young lady on the road to success in the near future. I • 45 L i I i I . II . .L . . . .u i . . . .. . . . . . ■ , . , . .

While others fume, argue, and get excited. Sadie sits up. maintaining an unbelievable calm and solves the puzzle with a tew words. She is an all-round good sport but does not neglect her work. Sadie is loved by all who know her. Her friendship is worth cultivating and she is always ' ready and willing to help. Sadie ' s favorite pastime is telling for- tunes. She can easily earn a living at this if she decides not to teach school. Besides telling fortunes. Sadie loves to tidy up. Scrubbing and shampooing are her fav- orite jobs. Ask girls on the third floor. Although Sadie comes to us from Par- sons she has become a ineniber of the Scranton Gang and is a helper in all that takes place. She has chosen the primary grades as her realm In which to guide the coming gen- eration along the path of education. We are sure that Sadie will succeed as a teacher, although we are not so sure how long she will teach. We wish her the best of luck. RUTH VIVIAN BAXTER Berwick llisli School Ber vi -k. Pa. Ktithic A little girl with a sweet smile comes to us every day from Berwick. This smile re- veals to a stranger the fact that she is one of the shining lights of the class. We all like her because of her sympa- thetic disposition, her willingness to laugh or mope as the mood demands. If she some- times gets the blues herself, they never last long because she is soon as cheerful as ever. One ' s first impression of Ruth is that she is rather shy. just scattering smiles and blushes I ? I wherever she goes, but we all know her too well for that, and as a tip — she is quite unlike a saint. Ruth excels as an artist and has done some very efHcient work along that line. Her talent in art won for her the Presidency of the Art Guild. And does she dream? A nice little cot- tage in a secluded village — she an artist revealing the beauties of nature and the — well. Ruth hasn ' t quite decided that point just yet. Probably an artist. Maybe Ruth is soon to leave us? A trip to Germany to study art — that ' s what she tells us but we know there must be something else to in- spire Ruth to take such a long journey. Dream on. Our best wishes go with you. And at some future time may a knight come riding and take you away from your school room cares and your greatest dream be realized. Here ' s a sigh for those who love me. And a smile for those who hate. And whatever sky ' s above me Here ' s a heart for every fate. t Xi i Ji AA t.iJii i i  i MMwlMbyMimM Mbi tmk Hil i g ii„i I I fcdbJ Jli RUTH M. WEAVER Catavvissa Higli School (atanissa, Pa. Kiifus Ruth is one of our many commuters com- ing to us from tlie big town of Catawissa. Slie is a prominent member of tlie Rural Group. This organization is very fortunate in liaving sucli a wortliy member. Slie se- lected this group because there ' s where her interests lie. Her past experience lias been with the rural schools so she knows the need for efficient teachers. Ruth is a very diligent student. She is not only seen carrying books, but also using them. She is often seen hurrying toward the square to make the first bus home. In the Locker room, after class. Ruth is usually heard asking her pal. Winnie. What are you going to do this period? She is very likeable. She may seem quiet until you know her — then the fun begins. Rufus has interests other than becom- ing a teacher. These are music and read- ing books. She is often seen both in the College Library and in the Town Library looking for a good book to broaden her mind. At home our friend spends much of her spare time playing the piano. We are sure Ruth will make good at any- thing she attempts to do for she puts her best efforts into her work. As to how long she will continue in the teaching profes- sion remains to be seen but time will tell. She seems to be very much interested in the opposite sex. She is President of the Rural Club and also an active member of the Glee Club. We will remember you as a true whole- hearted member of the class of ' 28. We wish you all the success to be had in all your undertakings, whatever they may be. PAULINE E. BELL Ashley lli h ScIkiiiI A.shley, Pa. Penny Blonde hair, bright blue eyes, a burst of laughter and Penny is around. She is another of these good sports who are full of pep. and always ready for a good time, carefree, and happy-go-lucky. She never worries about anything and she always comes out O. K. At any time she is ready to do more than her share, especially at the mere mention of the words Let ' s eat! Penny ' s fondness for bright colors Is noted. She prefers bright colors such as Red. Library Methods? She had a course in them last year but Penny pre- fers the advanced course, that she is taking now. Penny believes that there is time for work and a time for play. She never misses an after-dinner dance, and she is just as regular in doing her daily assignments. The Tau Phi Epsilon sorority values her membership very highly, because she is al- ways willing to do her part, whether it be in work or play. She is also an associate member of the Dramatic Club. In athletics Penny shines in basketball, hockey and tennis. Penny believes that she has taken the wrong road for her desires are to be a mis- sionary or a minister ' s wife; but regardless of what road she pursues, we know that she will meet with success. • 47 t ' ' ' ' ' ' ■ ' r M f ' ii I .[ r J J r 1 f i r i ANNA BENNINGER Dimock lliKli Scliool Diiiiock, Pa. Anne A little miss, not very tall, A quiet miss, and friend to all. Anne. We hear this name echo through- out the dormitory, especially on fourth floor and immediately know who is being sum- moned. Anyone wanting help, no matter what it is, will always find a willing hand in 440. Anne is known for her splendid ability as a teacher. This will make her future work a grand success if — she con- tinues her present profession, but being a proficient teacher is only one of Anne ' s many virtues. She is an energetic and faithful student. Work while you work, and play while you play, is her motto. It has often been noticed that on Anne ' s many trips down town her first stop is al- ways at Bush ' s. We wonder if the attrac- tion is Ice Cream and Sodas or a force of habit? If this matter were to be investi- gated results would no doubt prove the latter to be true. We wonder why! During Anne ' s first year at B. S. T. C. her melodious voice swelled the Glee Club. I ' m sure they will miss this little warbler in years to come. Then, too, because she was a worthy participant in the Speech Arts Club. After helping to make these a success Anne became a faithful member of the Clothing Club. In these two short years at College. Anne proved to be a loyal classmate. May her future life be one not only of success, but also of Joy and happiness — is the wish of her many friends. DOROTHY MAE BERDINE Central High School Hinglianitiin. . . V. Dot Curly red hair, blue eyes — a typical titian beauty. She is very fond of red. Still waters run deep — and that is our Dot. She likes to theorize about philoso- phy and psychology, and it shows in her personality, for she is attentive, quiet, and dignified. Dot loves to dance and sing, and is a very good entertainer. She certainly loves to read novels, and to eat chocolates. Dot is a very interesting chatter-box when giv- en a suitable topic. She is a student of which anyone could be proud, for she is very dependable and conscientious in all her dealings. Dot is always a good sport, and is an all around athlete. She was one of the first to receive her numerals. Dot has taken a great interest in the social life of the school. In her Junior Year, she was a member of the Speech Arts Club, and Y. W. C. A. She is vice- president of the Hostess Club and an active member of the Mu Phi Sigma Sorority. Dot ' s few short-comings can easily be overlooked because you know she isn ' t from Pennsylvania, and so is not accountable. However, she has been a wonderful pal, and we will always wish her the best of luck. t 1 1 y 1 I ■ 1 . . i . . ; , . Li . . . , . . . . . . i. 1 1 JAJ, MAE J. BERGHAUSER Blakely High School Peckville. Pa. Maybe Quiet? Not when you know her. A roguish glance, a naughty air. rippling chuckles here and there. — That ' s Mae. Her giggle can be heard at anytime or any- where. Often when asked what she is laugh- ing at she says, I don ' t know, I just feel funny. She has quite a few hobbies, dancing, bas- ketball, singing, movies, and eating. Of the lot. we could say she likes to eat. eat some more, and eat once again, for that seems to be her favorite hobby, and we must say she rides it well. When it comes to singing, Mae ' s right there. In Berwick, she spent much time providing music for the rest to dance to. You can always find her in the gym in the evenings. We may further character- ize Mae by these few lines — Rush a bit here. Rush a bit there. Rush? Say — that ' s Mae. Sometimes she ' s happy, sometimes she ' s sad, her disposition depends on — the boy friend. But who the boy friend is, we wouldn ' t even attempt to say, because boy friends with her are like trolley cars, a different one every fifteen minutes. Mae has chosen the Intermediate Group for her field of work. We really wonder how long she will teach, but anyway, we wish her success as teacher and with that always — happiness. FLORENCE BERMNGER Berwick Hish Srliool Berwick, Pa. Bernle Florence is one of those little girls with brown hair and big blue eyes who came to us from Berwick High School. As a commuter she is seen every day slowly toiling up College Hill to the school, when she should be hurrying for those eight o ' clock classes, which begin for her. ten minutes or so later. At a glance you would take her for a quiet little girl, but she can be counted on to join in any mischief that has been planned. She has a jolly disposition with which she can drive away the blues. She seems to like camping at Sunbury. for reasons, and that is why she can ' t wait for this summer to arrive. Her attention is divided between B. S. T. C. and Sunbury, and besides she is one of those few girls who love house work. With her interest In house work and Sunbury. we are afraid she will not remain in the teaching profession very long. Florence believes in hard work, so long as It is working at a way of getting out of work. But she gets her work finished Just the same. Were it not for the lesson plans Bernle would agree with the most enthusiastic boosters of the teaching profession In any wild claim they might make. As a result of these plans Florence very often re- turned to Berwick on a late bus — enter the adverse feeling. Florence Is a member of the Glee Club. She is taking Primary work and we wish her the best of luck in her teaching. The Primary Department is fortunate to have secured the services of this young lady. Her natural Interest In small children and earnest desire to educate them should help her considerably. Continue to work in the future as you did while a student at Old Bloom and success will be yours. 49 ■ 1 i t 1 -L 1 I . 1 . . J . J J ■ . i. . . . . x . ■ . . . , j t MARGARET L. BESECKER Kingston Hisli School Kingston, Pa. Peggie Eyes of blue. Heart so true, Peggie. clear, that ' s you! The old saying. You cannot judge a book by its cover. is true in connection with our Peggie. It takes a long time to know her. but when you do you ' ll find it was something to look forward to. Peggie ' s awakening thought is — Will I get any mail today? Of course, she is sel- dom disappointed — why? Well, she is one of the truest pals that we know and sure- ly others feel the same way about it. Also, distance lends enchantment. One look at Peggie and we understand the reason why gentlemen prefer blondes. She ' s a good sport and a wonderful pal. I ask you very confidentially, What is more pleasing than her bright, cheery ' hello ' ? There are plenty for all. The vivacity of Peggie ' s pleasing per- sonality was shown by her successful major part in our class play last year. She is not only a prominent member of the Mu Phi Sigma Sorority but also a talented mem- ber of the Dramatic Club. Sh! Peggie may be Scotch, but she never shows it. She ' s the cook of Our Gang and believe me, we ' re proud of it. Will she make a successful teacher? Well, I guess. You may take the Gang ' s word on that — we ' re wishing her the very best of success. MARGARET AGNES BILBOW St. Jolin ' s High School Pittston, Pa. Peg Peggie This demure and sweet little maiden is known as Peg. By looking at her pic- ture you can see wliy she has a large num- ber of friends of both sexes. Peg is one of those studious girls, even though her appearances may deceive you. She studied very conscientiously and makes a very promising primary teacher. With her ready smile and winning disposition she will win the heart of all the kiddies. When tile new mail boxes were put in. Peg seldom left hers. We wondered from wliom she expected mail. Especially did Peg like to receive mail from Philadelphia . . . again we wondered. We will admit that Pliiladelphia is a nice place but Peg liked it for another reason and it wasn ' t the buildings. Although Peg came to B. S. T. C. in September. 1927, with a jolly group from Chester, it was not long until she was sur- rounded by a large circle of new friends. Another group, the Pittston Bunch were proud of Peg as one of their number. As a member of the Children ' s Literature Club Peg took part in all their plays. Athletics, too. claim Peg as a lover and a participant. If Peg is as carefree and as enthusi- astic in her teaching as she is in other things — is there any question of success?

I must get this plan done, cried a tall, dark-haired girl. She longs to enter into the fun but not before her plan is written. Thus we find Marj- in Berwick. Mary was one of the fortunate ones or. shall we say unfortunate ones, to go to Berwick to teach but. nevertheless. Blooms- burg still holds its attractions for Mary. Mar} ' came to us with the determination to make good and also have a good time. There was no need for this because fun and good times are always to be had when Mary is around. Could we have a feed without her? Of coui ' se not! Can she make fudge? Um. we ' ll say! And dance? Noth- ing but! A good sport, a real friend, and a won- derful pal is our Mary. Her lively spirit and interest in school affairs have won for her many friends. She is a member of the Alpha Delta Sorority and last year re- ceived her numerals in sports. While in Berwick. Mary was elected President of the Student Government and had the lovely job of Lights out. girls. Have you ever heard her say. Just so we know or perhaps it was Not that we care? She has chosen the intermediate field as her professional work. We wish you the best of success and happiness. Mai-y. but we doubt you will teach very long. MILDRED ANN BOHN Central Hisli School Scranton. Pa. ••Mil ••It ••.Milly Always smiling, seldom sad: A girl like Mil makes men go mad. The most natural question to ask would be. Why? Our answer is. Becatise she is one in a million. Mil is the dark-haired, stately, young lady who came in with the well-known Scranton group in February, 1927. She has a happy disposition and sings most of the time. At any time during the day you may hear her singing familiar tunes in the third-floor halls. The tune is familiar but the words — she changes those to fit her mood or the occasion. Mil Joined the Children ' s Literature Club this fall and as a result she is so in- terested in it that she can ' t accompany the gang downtown after school every day for their regular Itinches. Yes. Mil is very fond of fancy things to eat. but we believe she likes to sleep better. Her friends are sure that she is Rip Van Winkle ' s rival. She will sleep all night and the following day and still be ready to retire at 10:15 that night. If you would like to know where Mil got the name of It just get acquainted with her and you will understand. We cannot finish -without mentioning Mil ' s brown eyes. Yes, they are well edu- cated. They radiate the happiness of their owner. We wish Mil love, luck, happiness, and success. 51 Li. j,uu - ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' rr A i L i n_ i Ji i - - - i MILTONA BOLEN IMviinmtli 1I1kI School Plymouth. Pa. Tony Tony is a girl of surprises. We never know what slie is going to do next. About the time we expect lier to do sometliing in accordance witli her snappy appear- ance, she does just exactly the opposite. She has well-founded views on practically anything one might mention — politics, re- ligion, athletics, and John Erskine. She is a most versatile girl — with that al- most rare combination of abilities — athle- tics and good scholarship. Everyone should see her play basketball. She knows how! She is particularly adept as a guard. When it comes to dancing! We ' ll agree as to her talent on the dance floor, but only a privi- leged few who see the demonstrations of in- terpretive dancing that she frequently gives in 419 and 453. can appreciate the extent of her talent. There is another surprising thing about Tony. Unlike the customary flapper she is far from being aggressive. In fact, she is quite tractable, especially when it seems to make the other fellow a little happier. Tony is a rare type of girl, and we have never known anyone like her. When our school days are ended, we shall always think of Tony in Elizabeth Frost ' s words — You came like wind, the life begetting: You went like flame at the sun ' s setting; You were swift as Time, the unregretting: But Time will be dead when we ' re forgetting! MARGARETTA M. BONE Towanda High School Kingston, Pa. Margaretta What ' s her nickname? Well, she hasn ' t any. No one can explain why but the only name that suits her is Margaretta. Light hair, blue eyes, slender: that ' s Margaretta. She ' s full of pep and her wise remarks and clever puns help to liven up many a lonesome girls ' party. She is a general favorite of all who know her and laughter and jollity follow in her wake wherever she goes. She likes dancing and nearly every evening finds her in the gym. Her scholastic standing is of the highest. From the first semester she has been a two point student and has kept up her good work in her studies throughout her course. She is very conscientious and diligent in all she attempts and nothing seems too great for her to accomplish. She has been most active in athletics where her cool head and sportsmanlike con- duct make her an asset to any team. She is one of the few girls who in her first year had the honor of wearing a B. In her Junior year she belonged to the Music Appreciation Club and Y. W. C. A. She joined the Glee Club in her Senior year and was a member of the Hostess Club. She also had the honor of becoming a Mu Phi Sigma girl. Margaretta has been a credit to our school and we all shall miss her. We wish her to have all kinds of success in her chosen profession.

One of her favorite sayings is. ■ ' Can we make the 4:15? For Mabel is a commuter who hails from Berwick. She is one of our locker-room ' s most popular girls. for besides being a conscientious worker, she is always ready for a good time. She never need worry about grades. Her smile always indicates successful marks. But why is it that she can always study better in the library? Perhaps it is because two heads can work better than one. Mabel has all the necessary qualities for a good teacher. We hope she will attain her fond ambition of becoming a training teacher. Mabel firmly believes that this can be done before one becomes too old to find romance lurking just around the corner. Here is just heaps of success to you. Mabel. Dame Nature was generous in bestowing many talents on Mabel. These she displayed in music, the Mixed Chorus, and the Or- chestra. Mabel is one of our athletic lead- ers which accounts for her love of sports. Success to you, Mabel. HESTER LORETTA BOWMAN Berwick IIif;li School Mifflinville, Pa. .Mona Li.sa One might think, by this Mona Lisian smile, that we had gone to the art gallery for this picture, but no, it is Hester — calm, mysterious, subtle Hester. Mona can even retain her dignified expression at a bas- ketball game, while everyone else there is hilarious with victory, or weeping and wail- ing with defeat. Hester comes from Mifflinville and gets excessive exercise goiiig to and from the Post Office aiid back and forth across the bridge. The trip to the Post Office. Hester tells us, only occurs when mail froni B. S. T. C. is to be sent home. Ill luck only comes to Hester when fate destines slippery weather. At a time like this Hester needs all kinds of assistants to get to and from classes, especially teacher training. Hester is studious and is a diligent work- er, always lending a helping hand to those in need of anything. She is taking up Fii-st Aid work now and will specialize in doctor- ing bumps received while faithfully attend- ing classes and conferences during icy weather. Most any night one wishes company down to High School, Hester will go along be- cause I believe she has a conference. It isn ' t so healthy to ask her because in this case actions speak louder than words. Hester has a kind word for everyone and her willingness to do has won for her many friends. We wish her success in her fu- ture, which will be teaching for a while — after that we cannot prophesy but fate says there is to come a blonde. d V ' ' ' ' ' ' -t- ' - .i ... .... . j 1 NAOMI ROSALIE 150VER Ciitawlssa Ilis ' i School Catawissa.

She has formed the habit of taking life as it comes. We think that this habit was formed while in the city, for she has spent the greater part of her life in the cities of Baltimore and Cleveland. Rose has taken an interest in Berwick. or rather in its inhabitants. Jimmie is his name — so we are told. We trust to Jim- mie that this will come out all right. Almost any time Rose can be found in the library, she says to work but we think that her time is divided between the newspaper and the college males. Rose thinks she has a glorious excuse to wnte to men at different colleges. She is gather- ing seals for her baggage. She has quite a few already. She is a great lover of out-door sports. Her particular hobby is swimming. She can be found in the pool when warm weather sets in. Her favorite expression is, Oh. he ' s cute. All her friends wish her the best of luck. THKLMA BRANDON Ijlooiii hiir High School Bloomsbiirg. Pa. Shrimp May I present to you Miss Thelma Bran- don, of Bloomsburg? She is a young lady of exceptional ability and she has made a wise choice in selecting teaching as her future profession. When any one is in a tight pinch with lessons, all they have to do is call on Shrimp and she ' s always leady to help. As you know. Thelma is rather short of stature, but the old saying is. Good things are done up in small pack- ages. Whenever any one wanted to locate Thelma in an extra period they would search for her in the Locker Room. Here they would be sure to find her probably enjoying a good joke with the rest of the girls, or telling a joke herself. She is cer- tainly full of life and she keeps the gloom driven away from the idea of hard work. Besides being a merry maker Thelma is one of our most staunch supporters in athletics and extra curricular activities. In ' 27 she was a member of Book Club and in ' 28 she became a member of Mixed Chorus. Although she spends her leisure time in this way she spends her time in doing other things too. One of these is making the mail man work hard by writing so many letters to Muhlenberg College. It ' s all right. Thelma. because your school work never suffers from this cause. Here ' s wishing you all the luck, happiness and success that a good teacher could ob- tain. 54 t LiLl ■ ' ■ ' - ' ' ■ •• ' ■ ii- r.r_- j ii ' 1 |- ' MILDRED BREISCH C ' atawissa Hisli Schiiiil Catawissa, I ' a.

To look at Min. one would think she was one of those rare, quiet girls. But often looks are deceiving, and they surely are with Min because she is not half as serious as she appears to be. When there is any ex- citement, such as a good joke, or a new dance record. Min is right on hand with the rest of us. She comes to us from the quiet, little town across the river — Cata- wissa. This accounts for her rushing into class at 8;10 nearly every morning. Min is an earnest worker, and usually takes school problems quite seriously. She is seldom seen on College Hill or elsewhere, without an armful of books. Of coui ' se. we have no proof that she is not kept too busy at night to use them, but she at least makes a good impression. As an outside curricular activity, Mil- dred has joined the Sewing Club. Just why she is interested in sewing, we do not know, but will probably find out .some day. Anyway, it ' s a good idea Min. For her life ' s vocation, she has selected teaching in the primary grades. We all wish Mildred the best of success, not only in this line of work, but in all her under- takings. RUTH ni DD Honesdale Hijih Stintol lloiicsilale. Pa. Kose-hinl This dark-haired, brown-eyed miss with a sunny disposition is Ruth, who comes to us from Beech Lake. While gazing upon her fair countenance one is bound to re- mark. How quiet, how bashful. but that person does not know Ruth, for you can ' t imagine the mischief she is always contem- plating. Whenever we were blue we went to room 382 where we were soon cheered by her ready wit. One usually is happy when the sun shines. Perhaps this accounts for Ruth ' s happiness, because she appears interested in a certain Ray. Never mind. Ruth, we will not tell on you but we are won- dering just how long you will follow the teaching profession? Ruth entered into some club activities, such as Junior Girls ' Glee Club. To this club she was a faithful, loyal and valuable member. In ' 27- ' 28 her fancies turned to the Sewing Club, but a lady always has the privilege to change her mind. Ruth is also athletically inclined, her favorite sports be- ing hiking and skating. We could say more but space does not allow it. so we may well sa y — Her paths are paths of pleasantness And all her ways ai ' e peace. To you. the class extends best wishes for your success in the future. IJ ' ' - • ' ■ i ' kW ' w ' B r - ' ■ ' ' ' [ V htf i w ' - MARY BURKE Pittstoii Ilisli School Pittstoii. Pa. Buikie Mary came to us during our Senior year from West Chester. Slie lias made many friends during her short stay at B. S. T. C. all of whom wish her much success in her futuie career. Mary is an all-around girl. She is pro- ficient as a student and an athlete, as well as being capable in the art of domestic science. She is also a member of the Sew- ing Club. Mary is always ready to dance or sing in her leisure monrents and she arouses feel- ings of great joy at our saddest times when we hear her voice through the halls. Mary is a girl who believes in the motto, Smile and the world smiles with you. Weep and you weep alone. Every day we can see her taking her brief- case and wi ' iting in her diary. Her brief- case was very pretty and Mary thought so. I wonder why? Mary ' s favorite color is blue, which is very becoming with her blue eyes and blonde hair. Her favorite flower is an American Beauty. The boys and girls of B. S. T. C. wish her success and happiness in her future life and hope to see her supervisor or prin- cipal In some school in Pittston. MARY CAHALAN St. Vlncenf. ' i High School Plymouth, Pa. Cal Where is my pencil? Who saw my note- book? What class am I going to? Oh. where is that book? A flurry, Mary is off for class. It is not lack of ambition which prevents Mary from being on time, but her philosophy of life which declares — Do noth- ing today which may be put off until tomor- row. There is. however, one phase of her life which shows no influence of her phil- osophy. That is the making of friends. Their name is legion. You are easily con- vinced that one of her fairy gifts is a charming personality. Mary has high ideals and will most certainly attain her desires. In fact, she has already contrived to cre- ate her own particular paradise on earth — give her a good novel, a box of chocolates, and time to dream. Perhaps it is her habit of dreaming that inspires her to write let- ters of such strong appeal that the answers are swift and frequent. Mary ' s especial pleasure is dancing, but she takes an active part in outdoor sports, such as tennis, hockey and hiking. Mary has been more than rushed with the Dra- matic Club. Hostess Club, Speech Arts Club, and the Vice-Presidency of the Tau Phi Epsilon Sorority. tJJj ' ' ' i ' ' t W ' u ' ' I ' l ' - i !

She is one ot tlie commuters wlio enjoys a twelve-mile ride on the bus each morning to attend College. Phyl is a popular nrember of the Locker Room gang and is well liked by all. Phyl ' s personality has won for her many friends among both the Locker Room and dormitory girls. She has been endowed by nature with talent which she is using in the Girl ' s Chorus. Phyl likes athletics, especially tennis, but with all. she has not lost her scholastic reputation won in Ber- wick. Although she is studious, she is al- ways ready for sonte fun. One of Phyl ' s pet expressions is Gee, it ' s lonesome. We wonder why? Here ' s a secret, although Phyl is at B. S. T. C. in person, her mind is in a certain school room. This accounts, to a certain extent, for the far-away look in her eyes. Come back to earth, Phyl. Phyllis has shown unusual ability in her practice teaching. She has applied all of the methods that she learned while here at school. Her success in the teaching world is a surety. FLORENCE CAMPBELL Berwick Hlsli s hi)i l Berwick, Pa. Flo This titian-haired miss hails from Ber- wick and is one of the reasons why boys leave Bloomsburg. Flo says she is going to be a scliool teacher, but — we wonder! There seems to be but one big question on her mind just now. It is not — Do gentle- men prefer blondes? but Do I prefer blondes or brunettes? Somehow, it ' s a rather difficult question to decide: so to compromise. Flo scatters her smiles int- partially, leaving the poor lads in breath- less suspense. Cheer up. pals, she may de- cide some day. Florence ' s popularity does not stop with the male sex; who is not willing to vouch for her? Her genial smile and pleasing per- sonality always win a warm welcome for her wherever she goes. Flo ' s ability as a student is known to many. ' We who have been in her classes know the truth of that statement. Per- haps her conscientiousness plays a great part in making her school work a success. If she extends her good work into the future, as we are sure she will, we have no doubts of her success as a teacher. t 111 1 « ■ 1. ■...- X .1 1 n-i. i i . 4 ■ - .

Holy. fair, and wise is she The heavens such grace did lend her That she might admired be. As someone has said. It takes all kinds of people to make a world. and among the kinds most appreciated ai-e those who can listen well, and contribute their share when occasion demands. We don ' t know about the former, but Mai-tha ' s friends can testify as to the truth of the latter. One wouldn ' t think that Martha was quiet — but she is as far as conversation goes. She doesn ' t have to talk, her eyes speak for her. Hence, we can ' t imagine Martha without a man. without mall, or without a dance. Now Martha ' s one ambition in life is to graduate, but she refuses to tell just what she intends to do after that. Although daily letters ai ' e a dead give-away and Mar- tha is one who is firn in her belief, we really wonder if she will follow out the plan of old inaid school teaching. If such is the case, we all know that with her charming pei ' sonality, sweet disposition, and gentle manner she will win the hearts of her pupils Just as she did those of her fel- low classinates. The Tau Phi Epsilon Sorority was for- tunate in securiiig Martha as a member. May happiness be yours. Martha. EBBA M. CARLSON Luzerne Hisli Scliool Lu erne, Pa.

A lot of noise and a happy laugh, and you know that Ebba is some place near. She is a good sport, and a willing helper. When you ask her a favor, does she refuse? Well, I guess not. One can often hear Ebba practicing be- fore she goes to Glee Club. Never mind, Ebba. keep it up. We like it. Who said she couldn ' t dance? She may not dance in the Gym, but just take a peep in her room any time and see for yourself. Did you say athletics? Well Ebba stands right in on that subject, as she was one of our athletic leaders. She also fills an office in the Y cabinet. Could we think of the Delta Phi Sgima Sorority without Ebba? Indeed not. for then we wouldn ' t have any Vice-President. The reason why Ebba has been so de- sirous of owning a Howard watch has been made known at last. We have often won- dered why Ebba always turned to look at a well dressed man. Don ' t wonder. Just think of the Christmas Dance. All will be explained. We all know that Ebba e.xpects to be a teacher, but then, one can never tell. Never mind. Ebbus. life is wonderful when there is always some one caring for you. To you, Ebba, we all give our sincerest wishes for a successful future. 58 LlU.UA « li J J wMi ' i   Oil I ii iy M  J ROSE M.

Al- ways -svllling. always ready, she is never missing at work or at play. It seems that nothing can affect her general disposition. She is always willing to help her fellow stu- dents and does each deed of kindness with so light a heart and with such willingness that she has won the hearts of all who know her. On first meeting Rose. one would thiiik her to be very quiet and sedate but fur- ther acquaintance corrects the first impres- sion. Those brown eyes of hers Just twinkle with merriment and mischief. Rose ' s efficiency was recognized by the Delta Phi Sigma Sorority when they chose her as an officer of that organization. Her choice in the teaching profession lies in the primary field and we are sure that she will make a success of it. for with such a disposition she could not fail to win the hearts of the kiddies in the primary grades. Her all-round good nature and sports- manship has won for her many friends and we feel confident that her success which came with her from Hazleton and remained with her here will continue to abide with her in the future. CAROLYN .M. CL .MI ' I Shicksliiiiiiv High .School Mocaiia nia. Pa. Cal Crash! Bing! Bang! Here comes Carolvn To look at her one would think she was Innocence personfled. but the girls of Wal- ler Hall know her as an honest-to-good- ness regular girl. When you hear a hearty laugh or some excitement at the end of the hall, you can easily guess who it is — yes. it is Cal. One of Cal ' s favorite pastimes is the theatre. Almost automatically three times a week, we see her going down to the movies. However, the joy of the movies is not complete until Carolyn purchases a bag of potato chips. Athletics are one of her goals. She is a wiz in the sports and many a time saved the day for her team. But Carolyn is not only gifted in sports. Her high standards in a school show us that she also loves to work. Many a time Carolyn sacrificed a good show to write a lesson plan. However, she has been amply repaid. Another great pastime of hers is sketch- ing. If you want an envelope decorated or a sketch on your slicker, or perhaps a por- trait for your room. Carolyn will aid in meeting your demand. Carolyn came here to be a teacher and we feel sure that she will successfully direct young hopefuls in their quest of knowledge. 1 tU.kt ii iU ii«Mwlwh MUt K B y il  dhArf bJ JL ELIZABETH CIGLER (SAYLOR) Ashley Hisli School Ashley, I ' a. ••( ' is Yea, ' Clg, ' that ' .s the old fight.

Up again, down again . . . that ' s Cig. And can she dance??? Just ask any of the nightly invaders of the Gym. But oh. how sentimental music gets our Cig. Cig is one of those short, lovable little girls who could easily be lost in a crowd but for her large, sparkling brown eyes. We do not wonder at her many friends after being in her company a short time and get- ting acquainted with her pleasing and win- some ways. If one is stuck with lessons or other such things which are not easily accomplished, the old saying is. Ask ' Cig ' . She is one of the outstanding members of the French Club. That ' s to her advan- tage, too. especially when the room-mate fails in her household duties. Although we ' re sure that Cig makes a splendid school teacher, we fear that she has missed her calling which we infer from her splendid reproduction of the Cat and the Canary at midnight parties. Our best wishes go with you Cig to- wards reaching the top of the ladder you have chosen to climb. THELMA COBB Kinfjstiin Ilish School Kingston, Pa. Thelnia ' ' A wonderful girl — a true friend — a good sport — this is Thelma. She is everything that is lovable and kind, and it is worth your while to make her acquaintance. She has large brown eyes that fairly sparkle when she talks. Some say she uses them to advantage. We wonder? Thelma is a very conscientious stu- dent, as her record here indicates, and we all feel sure she will make a successful teacher. Those who have become acquainted with Thelma during the last two years value her friendship. We wonder wliat strange power she possesses ... a power that acts like a magnet and draws people to her. She is the object of deep admiration. Such qualities in a person must be deserved. As president of the Children ' s Literature Club, she has proven her capability as a leader. Her untiring efforts in behalf of this organization wi ll not be forgotten so soon. The Alpha Delta Zeta Sorority also claims her a valuable member. May success and Joy be with you through- out all of your life. For you have shown yourself worthy in stress and in strife. I i 1 I 1 I ■ i. J.. . i .J. i J ■ . L ,., . . . , . . ■ i. i i ifc.

Why do today what can be put off until tomorrow? is one of her favorite sayings. Perhaps this explains why we seldom saw her in the li- brary. Neverthless, Beth attempted httle that she could not finish. Chief among her talents is her artistic ability in designing women ' s clothes. We would venture to predict a future tor her in this line, were it not for the fact that she has other plans in mind. As a teacher. Beth has a knack of win- ning the confidence of the children — which is characteristic of all good teachers. This, combined with her untiring efforts and a desire to be a moulder of children ' s lives should carry her to great heights in the profession with which she is allied. Her ability as an actress won for her member- ship in the Dramatic Club. She is also a member of the Phi Gamma Tau Sorority, in which she worked most faithfully. Whatever you do or wherever you go Beth, we wish you all the luck possible. LAURA K. COSTELLO Hazelton Hif;li School Hazelton. I ' a. Cyclone Here is another one who hails from the well-known city of Hazelton. When Cy- clone first came to B. S. T. C. she was quiet and reserved, but college life has changed her just a wee bit. We are glad of the change, however. Laura ' s magnetic personality won for her a host of friends who will never forget her. No one can resist her charming smile and pleasing disposition. Laura was an active member of the Speech Arts Club and participated in all the Club events. Her election to the office of secre- tary was proof of her loyalty to the Club. She also did her share of work on the Junior Prom Reception Committee. The success of the affair was partly due to her untiring effort. Laura is an industrious person even though her picture does not reveal this trait. However, we have found her in her busiest moments, always ready to lend a helping hand. She is also known around the dorm for her famous wittlcisims, some of which helped to clear away many a cloud from a blue sky. We can predict nothing but a successful and happy future for such conscientiousness must be rewarded. l: ' ' ' ' ' ' ' - - • ' - ' ' ' ' r rM i i. _r.r. j i ri i MARGARET A. COXE St. Cecelia Atademy Scrantoii, Pa. Peg Peggy The young lady whose glowing counte- nance appears above came to us from that famous coal region town, Scranton. From the beginning she was very much inter- ested in ' children and often in that now- famous Junior year she was seen in their company. Knowing that acciuaintance with the coming generation was not sufficient to insure her success as a teacher. Peg earn- estly strove to assimilate all available knowledge. As a result of her efforts she has established herself as one of the in- tellectual leaders of the institution. Being a typical American girl. Peggy did not confine herself to study alone. No social affair was complete without her. That pleasant smile and cheerful disposi- tion made her welcome in any group. During her short sojourn at B. S. T. C. she has been actively engaged in various e.xtra-curricular activities. As a member of the Bloomsburg Players she has made quite a reptitation in theatrical circles. Recognizing her ability and desiring to profit by it the Phi Gamma Tau sorority early elected her president. Under her direction this organization has made considerable progress. To a pal and friend we wish all the suc- cess and happiness possible. LAWRENCE H. CREASY Catawissa High School Catauissa. Pa. Creasy Creasy graduated from the Catawissa High School in the year ' 25 as valedictorian of his class. The quality of his scholarship has not decreased but rather increased as his grades indicate since he has attended Teachers College at Bloomsburg. Soon af- ter coming here he made many friends and has continued to do so while going to school. Few of these friends will forget him soon. To the Locker Room he was one of the shining lights. |we needed themi. probably due to the fact that he had an excellent course in astronomy. Whenever you ask Creasy about the op- posite sex he has an answer similar to this. I can have a better time with a group of fellows. He stood by his saying rather faithfully until the last year. when, during the first semester he seemed to be slip- ping . . . but he did not fall. He was an asset to the orchestra where he performed efficiently on the viola. He helped to liven up this bunch in his usual happy manner. He was also a member of the Mixed Chorus. We wish that Creasy will be as suc- cessful in his future work as he has been in the past. t , i.i iii.. i 4 ii ANNA C. CURRY Hazelton High Scliool .MoAdoo, l ii. Curry Curry is anotlier one of those dark- haired lassies who hails from McAdoo. She does not look studious but when there is work to do. Curry is ready for it. Her sunny disposition has won for her many friends — many are of the fair sex. and many are not. There is always a cheerful laugh before the appearance of Curry. When CuiTy is not laughing we can find her at a piano. Can she play? That is a question that every one in B. S. T. C. can answer. When in gym class we hear some one call, ' Curry. ' drop out. for Curry is needed more at the piano than in the liiieup. Her finger-tips caii make the keys of a piano talk. Curry is noted for her wit and good humor. Along with this she is such a good- natured girl that she enjoys helping others when possible. Although we are fond of Curry. we really do not see enough of her because she spends the week-ends at home. Inhabitants of McAdoo: We thought you were away at school. Anna. Anna: Oh. yes. I am away from Mon- day to Saturday. B. S. T. C with all your classmates, are extending to you wishes for happiness abun- dant and success galore. May your future be as carefree as your days at Bloom. May your good sportsmanship, good will and fine .spirit be an influence on the kiddies who will be Intrusted to you. NELLE DALEY Forty-Fort High School Forty-Fort, I ' a. Nelle ' When you see a tall. slim, dainty crea- tui-e with eyes that fairly dance — it ' s Nelle. With her wealth of beautiful, brown, na- tural-curly hair to form the background for those deep pools of light — is there any chance for a mere man? Nelle ' s I ' m starved seems unusual at a time when most of her associates are wor- rying about excess weight. Nelle need never worry about such a thing for Dainty as a fairy And as airy She trips lightly along. Nelle ' s voice is bird-like — clear, full of feeling. We wonder that she does not take wings — and fly. As for Nelle ' s future, well — it ' s hard to say. She was so interested in the library we began to fear that Nelle would turn out to be a librarian. But after all, isn ' t the library a good place for a tete-a-tete? There ' s always a reason, you know. Nelle was prominent as a member of the Glee Club. As a floor supervisor in her Senior year Nelle showed what she could do as a leader. Although she isn ' t the real athletic type, she participated in all class sports. We are sure Nelle will be successful in whatever she undertakes, and surely in her work as a primary teacher.

She wears a smile, has a fine disposition: She ' s never downhearted, she ' s never blue To her classmates and schoolmates always true. Those who are well acquainted with her call her Doll. She certainly is worth while knowing because of her winning smile, and lovely disposition. One would not be wrong in saying that she reminds one of a doll. She smiles very approvingly if she likes you, and if she doesn ' t, well — she Just says nothing! Doll has made herself known through her fine student-teaching. Proof of this is the fact that the children like her and greet her with friendly smiles. She also has proven herself worth-while as an active cabinet member of the Y. W. C, A. In her Junior year she was a mem- ber of the Glee Club, and a worthy mem- ber of the Alpha Delta Sorority. Doll is very successful in whatever she attempts, but she has one failing; she never can tell things and make them seem real, so she says, Nita, you tell it. When it comes to men Doll says noth- ing. She once said, Silence is golden, but we know that down deep in her heart she has a spot for a certain George. There are two, so we don ' t know which has the coveted place. We hope you ' ll find which one has first claim. Best of luck for your future. IRENE DAVIES King.ston lIiKli School Kingston. I a. Irene A pleasant word, a friendly smile — That ' s Irene all the while. If you do not know Irene and want to pick her out of a crowd, just start to play something peppy on the victrola. If a little girl with brown hair, and grey eyes im- mediately starts to keep time and snap her fingers — that ' s Irene. She is very musical, and all music has its effect on her. but just put the Varsity Drag on the victrola and its alluring power is remarkable. Her work no longer has any charm whatever. Irene ' s chief ambition is to be a director of an orchestra — a second Paul Whiteman. Another thing which characterizes Irene is her generosity. Every girl on fourth floor knows where to go when she is in need of anything. Irene always has a pleasant word and a smile for everyone. This accounts for the host of friends which she possesses. She has the kind of a disposition that makes her welcomed anywhere and at any time. Irene is the one who adds pep to the party, and without her we feel that something is lacking. A good sport? — we know! As a worker Irene is one of the most con- scientious and diligent. She succeeds in all she undertakes for the simple reason that she sticks to a thing until she finishes it. She is a member of the Delta Phi Sigma Sorority. Here ' s luck to one of the best That our school has ever possessed — Irene. 64 II MARTHA R. DAVIES Kdwardsville. Pa. ••Marty Marty Davies? O. yes! She ' s the girl with the pretty red hair. Isn ' t she? Marty is tlie kind of a girl who likes plenty of good times and lots of fun. and who never tires of laughing. She seems to get a whole lot of fun out of life, but aside from all this, she knows just when to settle down to work. Even though she never burns the midnight oil. she reaches her goal every time. Slie has a pleasant smile for everyone, and a cheery hello. Most of us will always remember that pleasant smile. What ' s more, Marty has a wonderfully strong will pow- er — when it comes to dieting. We congratu- late her on that! She ' s the kind of a girl who makes up her mind and then sticks to it. Among Marty ' s chief delights are: movies, music, fiction and chocolates. Do you want to know who the new movie star is or what ' s the latest in fiction? Ask Marty. she ' ll tell you. We must not for- get to mention her favorite song too — Are You Thinking of Me Tonight? We ' re won- dering who she thinks of when she sings it??? Marty is an active member of the ••Chil- dren ' s Literature Club and will be remem- bered for her fine poster work. We ' re sure she ' ll be a very capable teach- er, and we wish loads of success to her all through her teaching career and her work along other lines. RALPH WALDO DAVIES Nantiooke IIij;h School Xantlt ' oke, Pa. Ralphie Raffles Possessed with the oratorical ability of an Antonio and tlie art of a Shakespeare. Ralphie came to us three years ago. He immediately made his presence felt by voic- ing his opinions in class and club nieetings. In his speeches he was not prone to confine himself to the layman ' s language but would frequently quote the masters of another day. Needless to say, Raffles usually car- ried his point. Since his entrance this young man has been a valuable member of our track team. The consistency with which he placed in the various meets coupled with the above mentioned ability to lead was responsible for his selection as track captain for two consecutive years. Another sphere in which Ralphie is un- surpassed is tliat of extra-curricular activi- ties. As manager of the Varsity basketball team he certainly can provide chewing gum and worthwhile advice. The Nanticoke and Dining Room Clubs have profited by his energetic membership. Desiring a chaplain who would be with- out a peer, the Iota Chapter of the Omega Chi Fraternity, by a unanimous vote, select- ed him. In this role. Ralph Waldo sur- passed even the expectations of his closest friends. If Ralph goes as well as a teacher as he did while a student at B. S. T. C. (and there ' s no reason to believe he won ' t) the profession will have made a valuable ac- quisition. 65 I 1 I ' ' ' ■ ' ■■ ' ' ■ ■ ' ' • -- ' -- I f r 1 I f I iwH v I i EDITH P.

Edy is another niember of our class who graduated from Pittston High School with the class of ' 26 and joined our ranks at Bloomsbtirg in the fall of that year. No, she is not quite so serious as this picture would make us believe. She is real- ly the contrary. Wit comes natural to Edy. and she believes in making good use of her talents. She is always ready for a good time to listen to a good joke, and to supply the crowd with wise cracks. Edy is little but sure is a whiz at basketball. Whistling and dancing constitute two of her main characteristics. Whether in the dormitory, in the gym. or on the campus, we can always detect Edy by her whis- tling. This young maiden was greatly missed by the gang the first nine weeks of school, as she was among the first group of girls who were sent to Berwick, where she taught in the Market Street school building. We know Edy will make a successful teacher, as she has proven her ability in her prac- tice teaching. The Mu Phi Sigma Sorority values her membership very highly because she is al- ways willing to do her part. We are doubtful if teaching will be her life-long profession — there are evidences of other attractions which the future hold for her. Edy, you ' ve the best wishes of your classmates in all you undertake. BEATRICE DAVIS Thompson Hish School Elmira, N. Y. Day This young lady came to us with the group that entered here in our Freshman year. She is one of those good-natured girls who would do anything for a friend. As a result of her fine personality and sac- rifice she has many friends whose com- panionship have made her life enjoyable. Like all girls, she enjoys playing tricks on her school-mates and it was the clever- ness of these pranks that 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 very often seen in the library busily engaged in selecting material for the following day ' s classes. As a student teacher she has made con- siderable progress as our observations and a review of her records have shown us. Her attitude toward her work and natural love for children tend to make her the ideal teacher. Our love for her has been increased, if that is possible, by the little favors she obliged us by doing. Judging by her application to her studies here we hope to hear of this young lady on the road to success in the near future.

If you want to see Ellen when she isn ' t quiet, just put on a fast record. It certainly does have its effect on her. Are you hungry? Let ' s go down to El- len ' s. She probably has some crackers and sandwich dressing. More than one girl in the dormitory has been heard uttering these words. Ellen loves to eat, and she certain- ly knows the secret of keeping thin for all of her lack of dieting. Aside from all the fun. there is one time when Ellen is very serious; that is. when there is work to do. She is always up in her work, and has a good record here as well as in high school. She is a member of the Y. W. C. A., and also of the Dramatic Club. We are anxi- ously awaiting the time when Ellen will make her debut with the Bloomsburg Play- ers. There is no doubt that Ellen will be a capable teacher, but as for the length of her teaching career — well, it ' s difHcult to predict. Anyway, here ' s wishing her loads of suc- cess all through her teaching career, and also in any other career which she may choose after she has finished her teaching.

As a student teacher she has made con- siderable progress as our observations and a review of her records have shown us. Her attitude toward her work and natural love for children tend to make her the ideal teacher. Om love for her has been increased, if that is possible, by the litt le favors she obliged us by doing. Judging by her application to her studies we hope to hear of this young lady on the road to success in the near future. ill ll It L X . i- 1 i . . . . . , , . . V ri I t RHEA J.

Haven ' t you heard of her marvelous ability as a barber? This is only one of her many talents. An outstanding one lies in eating. Whenever there is a feed Rhea is sure to be there. Her greatest cry is. Oh! I ' m nearly starved. Although dancing and eating are two of her greatest accomplishments, don ' t think that Rhea never gives any time to her stu- dies. She is always ready for a discussion in the class room. Rhea never missed one after dinner dance. At these she would try out all her new steps. She claims that people who dance keep thin. Keep up the good work, Rhea, and you will continue to possess that girl- ish figure you have been talking so much about. She also has the most pronounced qualities that all athletes have. You have to see Rhea play basketball and tennis to appreciate it. Rhea claims the opposite sex holds no attraction for her, but she certainly changes her mind when she sees a dark curly head- ed male walking down the avenue. Never mind, Rhea, you will meet the right one some day. Rhea is a very active member of the Girl ' s Glee Club and the Children ' s Literature Club, The class of ' 28 wish you the best of luck and happiness In your teaching career. MARGUERITE M. DERMOnV Central HiRh .School Scranton, Pa. Derm Derm is one of those girls whose friend- ship we all wish to hold. Her loving dis- position and kindheartedness are just a part of her charming personality. Derm is an all-round good sport and pal. When you meet her you always want to know her bet- ter. One look at her and you know she is full of life and fun. Often, when we pass through the lobby or Long Hall, we hear someone say. Smile, ' Derm ' — Show your dimples — Sniile for — Derm ' s motto is Giggle and the world giggles with you. She is a Arm believer in the fact that there is a little bit of bad in every good little girl. Derm has divided her time equally be- tween the Dramatic Club, of which she served as Vice-President, and the Obiter Staff. She is also a member of the Phi Gamma Tau Sorority. One of the things in which Derm takes part is tennis. She must love the sport because she plays regardless of the weather conditions. Since we all have known you. Derm. our school life has been more full of fun. We know you can make a success of any- thing you try to manage, from a man to a school house. Heaps of luck, Derm. i; 68 dtl i J Ail l. iAi iMa « i yWw bbMI  «M Otf i iiO I MARIAN ARLINE DE WITT Falls Overtield liish School Falls. Pa. Tiidicums A cheery laugh and a bright smile for everyone — that is our Tudicums. We love to hear her laugh because it is so contagi- ous: we cannot help but laugh with her. She has large brown eyes and a sunny dis- position. Tudicunis is a favorite among her friends because she is so jolly and pleasant. No one ever feels blue when she is around. We often wondered why it was that Mar- ian watched so an.xiously for the mail. Too bad. Tudicums. that there isn ' t air ser- vice between Bloom and the Falls. Per- haps some day there will be this possibility and then your mail bo. will most certainly be filled. Marian is a lover of nature and is very fond of outdoor activities, especially walk- ing down-town after 3:10. She is an all- star basketball player and any team having her for center is bound to win the game, for she always does some spectacular play- ing. We prophesy a future for Marian in the music world. We never knew of her ability as a singer until she delighted us with a solo in Chapel. Marion was an active member of the Sew- ing Club and the Children ' s Literature Club. To you. Tudicums, we wish loads of success, love, and happiness. GERALDINE E. DIEHL Xorthiimberland High School Northumberland, Pa. .lude Big brown eyes — a pleasant smile — rather tall — that ' s Jude. Everybody ' s friend and pal. If you want a helping hand with your lessons, all you need to do is to go to 324 and Jude will be only too glad to help you. Perhaps you have often wondered at a question Jude is sure to ask if she thinks you live near Shamokin. No, she is not asking information for Dr. Russell ' s Geogra- phy class but is carrying on a little project of her own, and too we ' re wondering why she goes home so often. All right, Jude, we won ' t tell any secrets. Jude IS a hard conscientious worker and seldom goes to clas.ses unprepared. Just the same she likes a good time and is always among the first in any escapade, especially if there are eats. Geraldine is especially interested in Dra- matics as a result we find her name amon ; the menrbers of the Speech Arts Club of which she was an active member during her Junior year. However, this year for some unknown reason her tastes have changed for she is a member of the First Aid Club, in which she is becoming quite an expert. She has chosen the intermediate grades in the teaching profession and we feel sure her career as a teacher will be a success. Judy. the class of 1928 wish you the best of luck and success. 69 GLADYS DII.DINE Oianseville (H;itii)M;il School Oranj;eville. Pa. (iladie In the conimuters ' rest room you frequent- ly hear an echo from one corner. My glory to Betsy. It ' ll be Gladle expressing some sudden surprise. Little surprises always make Gladie ' s voice rise and drop like a scale. By the particular tone that she uses, you well get the meaning behind it. Even the look in her eyes portrays every inward thought, and her very movements reveal her emotions. Gladie is one of the youngest girls in our class. She is from Orangeville. It isn ' t such a big place, but she always finds enough there to occupy her time, and a very suspicious amoiuit of her attention. We don ' t know Just what it ' s all about. School doesn ' t trouble Gladie. It is such an easy task for her to study when her studying time comes. Slie is good company and is entertaining. A kind heart and a helping hand, always ready to share her good times and to join in yours makes Gladie a very likeable person. Without friends she never could be. For with her, niany you can always see. In sports she is right there. How she does enjoy them. She has acquired skill in many because she does what she attempts with such skill and vigor. She makes lots of baskets for our commuters ' basketball team. Gladie certainly is an addition to the Glee Club, in fact, to most everything. The Mu Phi Sigma is mighty glad to claim her as one of its members. May her after school life be as success- ful as her school life, is the parting wish of all her class-mates. JOSEPHINE nOBROWOI.SKI Shenainioah Hi{;h ScIhmiI Lost f ' reek, I a. Jo Jo is her nickname. Reading is her hobby. Teaching is her vocation. Jo lives in Lost Creek, so next year when we go travelling, she hopes we find her teaching in that vicinity. We know she will make a successful school teacher as she is very studious. She studied so hard last year that when she returned in September we hardly knew her. as she was forced to wear glasses. But Jo doesn ' t believe in studying all the time. She likes to read and travel. Travelling to meals is real exercise to her. especially in the morning when you see her running down the hall — a little late. Once, a gentleman in the dining room was very much embarrassed when he found there was no Joseph Dobrowolski. Ask Jo and get all of the story. Jo likes athletics and as a result of her efforts received a letter B. She prefers basketball and hiking. She has had the privilege of practicing her future profession, the first nine weeks of the second semes- ter, in the Berwick schools and she says she intends to teach more than several years. Every one likes Berwick, not only to teach in. but the community as well. Ask her. If you ever want to meet an all-round good sport just look for Jo. Here ' s wish- ing the best of luck for her. 70 LLl I fc  MM B rfl 1111 kiMlaiMOMb ' '  rtiWi ' II KARL DOHL Hiintiiistoii TiiHiivhip Hi li I.i lit street. Pa. ■Dolll ' ■iClUlIll This young man came to Bloomsburg as a ■ ' diamond in tlie rough with the group that entered in our Freshman year. He is that type of fellow who would make al- most any sacrifice for a friend. His fine personality soon made him one of the few really popular fellows in our class. His good-natured manner soon made for him many friends whose companionships have made his college life a pleasant one. Like all wide awake fellows he enjoys playing tricks on his schoolmates and it w-as the wisdom of these pranks that first made us sit up and take notice. He is a real student and distributes his time properly in applying himself to his school work. He is very often seen in the library busily engaged in selecting material for future classes. As a student teacher he has made con- siderable progress as our observations and a review of his records have shown us. His attitude toward his work and his natural interest in the teaching indicates that he will make an ideal teacher. Our respect and admiration for him has been increased, if that is possible, by the little favors he has done for us. Judging by his application to his studies while at Bloomsburg we predict that before many years have passed we will find this young man well on his way to the leader- ship in his chosen field. STEFAMA E. DOMBROWSKI Nanticoke Hi;;li school Nanticoke. l a. Stef Stevev She has rings on her fingers. She has dozens of beaus. She has plenty of friends Wherever she goes.

With your happy disposition and merry laughter, the blues certainly pass away when you are amoiig us. Remember the fom- o ' clock tea parties. Steve. that came at nine-thirty? Usually the tea was strong enough to suit even an old maid, and very often the tea kept us awake until the w-ee hours of the morning, but those parties were full of heavenly bliss just the same. Stevey is the kind of girl that is rare. She will comfort you w-hen you are sad. and laugh with you when you are glad. Stevey is always ready for a good time when we are. and we are sure she has had many of them when she has been with us. Do vou see that slim girl dancing over there? That ' s Stevey. You will all agree with me that she certainly is a very nice dancer. The people that know you. love you. And you. Stevey, we all know yoti well. , JJ M , ,iJ i k ,tmt Jt  i.lil.l AJUi. MARY C. DRY Berwkk Higli Scliixil MitHiiuille, I ' a. Skinny Do you know her? If you have ever been around the Locker Room you can ' t help it. She is everybody ' s friend, and at all times, too. Mary has something to say to every- one and is always ready to laugh. She be- lieves in the old saying, laugh and the world laughs with you. When she lost her voice the Locker Room seemed dead. E Jery thing seemed wrong. She could not even laugh. Just imagine that. No one thought Mary Dry would enter B. S. T. C. after graduating from Berwick High School in 1926. Everyone thought that she would be a nurse. We ' re glad she did not choose this for we all know the pupils in her school will be as happy as she is. How could they be any other way? Talk about being industrious — well, she is sure that and even more. Her work is never neglected on account of other af- fairs. She thinks first of work and then play. Just keep on thinking that, Mary, especially when you ' re fixing a flat tire on your Ford. Mary is a good all around sport. She always tries hard to do her part. We ad- mit she certainly can liven things up. The Glee Club owes part of its success to her, for she is a good singer and piano player. Mary also likes to hike (not with the Gym Class) but on Moonlight nights. We ' re glad that she chose the Primary Group, for with her happy disposition what could come but success? Here ' s luck and good wishes from the class of ' 28. VIOLA E. ni KINAS Luzerne Hif;li Si liool Forty Fort. Pa. Dukey Vi Duke Don ' t do that, you ' ll never get a Holy picture! This is Dukey ' s way of advis- ing the prospective teachers in our gang. Dukey says there ' s time for work, and there ' s time to play. but regardless what ' s to be done she must have a hand in a game of cards. They are her inspiration, so she says. Vi ' s voice can be heard at all hours of the day and her noted cry is. Is the mail in? We know she is extremely interested in a young West Point Cadet. When a let- ter arrives from New York, she is lost in oblivion while devouring the contents. She dances, she sings, she does most any- thing. Athletics play an important role in her school life which was shown by her clever guarding on the Junior team in the Junior-Senior Basketball game: and tennis — well — if you want to see a flashing, dash- ing game of tennis turn your eyes on her while she is in action on the court. We wish Vi heaps of success as a teach- er while she stays in the profession: al- though she insists that her teaching is to be her life ' s work, we insist differently. What ' s his name? That would be telling. 72 JUUUJ.I ' Aiiini ! . ; ' ih i j t „0 i 1 MARY nUSHANKO Hazle Tiiwiisliip lIiKli .School JeUdo, Pa. Mary Blonde hair, brown eyes. A burst of laughter and sorrow flies. She appears to be a very quiet girl, but appearances are deceiving. Just ask the students! You would never think Mary would let men bother her in the least, would you? The discussions of our activi- ties during a vacation were not complete without Mary ' s, Oh. boy. last Sunday night at this time. She never says much more but that ' s enough to assure us she isn ' t a man-hater. Mary is another of those good sports who is always ready to help make and enjoy a good time. We all know that she has the best quali- ties for a teacher but we would not feel safe in prophesying that she will teach very long, for such an attractive little miss would never care to class herself anrong the self-supporting women. If you want to tease Mary Just mention the writeup in the Maroon and Gold. We all have our ambitions and Mary ' s chief one is to become an efficient teacher. We have no doubt that her ambition will be realized. Best of Success to you. Mary. HELEN EASTMAN BIooinshnrK Hisli School Bloomsburg, Pa. Helen This young lady came to us with the group that entered here in our Freshman year. She is one of those good-natured girls who would do anything for a friend.

I a. Irt ' iir Snappy brown eyes and a winsome smile ■ — that ' s Irene. Everyone who has come in- to contact with this petite maid will leave B. S. T. C. all the better tor it. She has a host of friends who will agree that a better sport, or a more diligent student can not be found. Irene is fond of fun, and her gay peppiness has often added greatly to our good times. She is an all-around girl in every sense of the word. The secret of her success in winning such a variety of friends, not only in Blooms- burg but everywhere, seems to lie in her pei ' sonality. One might almost say she has It, whatever that may mean. Expres- sive of her personality is her smile, which has some hidden quality behind it that never fails to attract. You know, Irene isn ' t at all like the aver- age girl. Like all the rest of us she has plenty of work to do, but to be different, she always does hers. There is a little verse that characterizes Irene. She ' s not very tall, nor very short. A true blue friend of the very best sort: She ' s full of fun. with eyes of brown, Always smiling and never a frown. We ' ll miss you, Irene, when from school we part, But will always keep you in our hearts. HAZEL J. NE EPLER .Northiimlierland Hish School Northumberland, Pa. Hazel If you see a fair little Miss hurrying to class with a half-dozen books under her arm and a serious look on her face, you can assure yourself that it is Hazel Epler. This shy young maiden is very studious and al- ways has her work prepared. Whenever last minute crams before class occur, every one goes to Hazel to find out the details of the assignment. She always lends a help- ing hand to those who need it. Bashful? Yes, and quiet, too. No, she is not afi ' aid to laugh, but she believes in silent approval, and through it we believe she gets her full measure of life. But those of us who know Hazel best have learned that behind her kind smile and somewhat serious eyes, there lies a character con- taining those elements of greatness before which men will some day bow. Prom past experience we thought that Hazel would be a confirmed Old School Mam or perhaps some day a Gym Instruc- tor, but from recent observations we have changed our minds. Never mind. Hazel, we won ' t advertise the boy-friend but just remind you that the fact is evident. Last year Hazel was an active member of the Girl ' s Glee Club. This year, how- ever, her tastes changed and she now be- longs to the First Aid and Children ' s Litera- ture Club. The class of ' 28 extends the heartiest wishes for your future success. JJUJL II i i Ji MJ wlw b Oi i Ml I II !l VEDA ESHLEMAX BtMHick High School BorHick. Pa. Vic- She Is witty, she is wise. She ' s a wonder for her size. Although she ' s very slight, and small. What she doesn ' t know, ain ' t nothing at all. If you were to look upon this little mem- ber of our class, you certainly would get the impression that she was one of our shy. demure maidens. But when you know her you will find out that that innocent baby stare has behind it a mischievous, fun-loving nature, balanced by a zeal for good work and hard study. Once you know her you cannot help but like her. Veda is interested in all phases of class work, and one can always find her in the library during vacant periods. Do you know that Veda has a great deal of artistic ability? Yes. indeed, it ' s true. If one wanted any drawing done, or posters made he would go to Veda and never would she turn him down. This is only one in- stance of her big heartedness. Vic has always been a true loyal friend to us. She has a sweet, unselfish, disposi- tion and is always ready to put herself out provided it is for someone else ' s good. If you want a friend who will stand by you and stick to you till the end. choose Veda. Now in closing, dear friend, we hope that happiness and success will follow you throughout your life. GEORGE EVAXCHO Mining and Mechanical Institute Freeland. Pa. Evancho-ly Here is a boy whose name is George, Industrious, good-natured and solemn: Never shirking, always working. His nick-name — I will not conclude For George would think it very rude. If presidents of Mr. Coolidge ' s terseness are still in vogue some years from now, we feel confident that George will find his vo- cation as such. And should presidents of this type be out of fashion he can always be a professional football player, for he is a champion on our Varsity team. Geoi-ge is a real schoolmate. He is in- dustrious, bright, and truly a man of his own convictions. He appreciates a joke with the ability to return the same. It matteis little whether the wind blows cold or warm. George is just as pleasant as ever. Consequently he is well liked by all of his classmates. He has won a place in the hearts of all. and the meiiiory of him will be cherished by those who have had the pleasure of his acquaintance. One is always able to tell when George is approaching by his pass-word. WHOOPEE. and when the walls of the second floor of North Hall begin to shake we all know George is up to soniething, but every one enjoys his practical jokes. George deserves a cup of happiiiess and we all know that he will be successful in all that he undertakes. Well. George, here is our heartiest wishes for a prosperous fu- ture and the highest success In life. LLUJiJi J il,l J l «K J.t l wlwbibM ■ d dbJUJl ALICE LOUISE EVANS reiitral Hisli Stliool Scnintoii. Pa. ••Cub ••Tuhb.v • ' Cub is another one of the Scranton Gang who entered In February. She. like the others of that famous gang is always ready to laugh off cares for others as well as for herself. That is probably her atti- tude when she hears the proctor knock on her door long after lights are out. ••Cvib is. however, very athletically in- clined. Her inclination leans toward at- tending especially football and sometimes basketball games. We cannot conceive of the reason for this. When it comes to girls ' athletics she excells most in volley ball. She is present at most athletic events of the school which fact probably accounts for her fine school spirit. She has a pair of wicked eyes and is wide- ly known as the famous starer. She can out stare any one. She is good at debating, and whenever there is anything about which to argue, Cub is in the thick of it. First semester Cub sang in the Glee Club, but because of her numerous school duties, she was unable to continue her good work in the second semester. She was also a member of tlie Y. W. C. A. We hope Al succeeds in all that she un- dertakes, and we feel confident that our hope will be realized. DOROTHY EVANS Kingston High School Kingston. Pa. ••Dotty • ' Dotty is the girl with the Pepsodent smile! It radiates her charm, happiness, and pleasing ways wherever she goes. We think of Dotty as a studious girl with time for work — and plenty of time for play. What a remarkable creature! Most of us find it difficult to do only one of these. As a leader Dotty is capable: she is always starting something. If not, she is agreeable to any plans made. We cannot help but admire the dry humor and wit in back of this cheery smile. Dot- ty ' s jokes keep us in a fog — guessing and thinking. Of all things. Dotty excells in sports. She is interested in every kind, but basket- ball and tennis give her opportunities to display her skill. In short, she is the all- star type athletic girl. During the first nine weeks of this year Dotty helped the girls in Berwick enjoy their stay. Her good friendship, her sympa- thy, her timely advice, and her optimism were all appreciated by all the girls. Dotty participated in the following school activities: Book Club. Y. W. C. A., and Mu Phi Sigma Sorority. Here ' s luck and best wishes for success to the girl with the Pepsodent smile! 76 JANET L. EVANS Luzerne High Srliool Luzerne, Pa. Sophie Just another member of the foursome and oh! what a member. If you see five feet two. eyes of blue. plus plenty of brown curls, dashing down the hall two minutes before the last bell rings you will, without a doubt, know that it is none other than Janet. She may be slow in getting to classes, but she isn ' t so slow when it comes to other things, for instance, in making friends. Janet has plenty of friends and she knows how to keep them. If one day passes and Janet doesn ' t get at least one letter there certainly must have been a WTeck on the railroad. We have noticed that the majority of her letters come from a certain well-known college at Bethlehem. Sophie ' s favorite saying is. Who would drink a ' cuppa ' tea if I made it? No mat- ter when you go into room 363 you will see Janet serving tea or coffee. Who said Let ' s do the radio hop? If you know Janet you will need only one guess because dancing is her favorite pas- time and the radio hop is her favorite step. Because of her pleasing personality. Janet is very popular among all the girls. She is treasurer of the Y and we know she has successfully fulfilled her office. She is also an active member of the Girls ' Glee Club and the Mu Phi Sigma Sorority. Best of luck to you. Janet, and we hope your little dears will love you as much as we do. BEl ' LAH L. FAIRCHILD Newport Township High School Wananile. Pa. Buey Fairchild An introduction is not necessary for every one knows Fairchild. When she first came to Bloomsburg last year, she didn ' t know whether or not she wanted to stay: but we are sure that she does know now. We might say that Beulah is a type that cannot be defined. She is a friend most true and a good sport, too. Beulah believes in getting her work but that doesn ' t mean that she is always study- ing. We often wonder how she can find time for all the activities in which she par- ticipates When it comes to athletics one can always depend on Beulah. We all agree that she is a valuable contribution to our Alma Mater. Buey is a member of that famous U. N. I. Club, nor would the Newport Club be complete without her. She is an active member of the Camp Fire Girls and can also be found at all the assemblies of the Mixed Chorus. We all recall the day Beu- lah came to Mixed Chorus about a half hour late. Her time piece decided to take a rest and so fooled Beulah. However, we wouldn ' t mind a little thing like that. We feel stue that Beulah will find Joy and success in teaching and in any other undertaking in life, for how could it be otherwise? A helping hand, a willing heart Always ready for any part. A wonderful girl, a friend so true. What more can one wish of you? II t 1 t i ixl 1 . J. J. i A J  i I ■ L t I ■ . A ■ i ,.J J I J jJ MARION FENSTEMAKER Berwick Ills ' ' Silioul Hpruick, I ' a.

Finley Fin When Irish eyes are smiling, tlien tlie world with you will smile — only those who really know this little dark-haired miss can appreciate the truth of these words. It takes fifty-tour muscles of the face to pro- duce a frown and only two to make a smile — so Mary smiles. When you are feeling blue, you ' re only sad until Finley walks into tlie room, and then her Irish wit gets the upper hand. When she leaves, you sit gaping, and say, My! I just feel like working! She has gloom-chasing down to an art; she is in for everything that will contribute to the gen- eral fund of happiness; consequently, time never drags when she is around. Something ( Somebody ) was missing when she was do- ing her student teaching in Berwick, and only the lack of a mayor and a brass band kept us from welcoming her back to us with a royal celebration. I wonder if the mail is in yet? Who is this person who seems to cause Mary so much anxiety? — Lafayette seals and Lafay- ette pins! Who is so interested? It ' s Mary! Mary is small, but why is she always so hungry? Her first query on entering a room is, Got anything to eat? That ' s good — I ' m starved. We wonder if her sunny disposition Is the cause or effect of her attraction to the opposite sex. We have found Fin to be a person whose presence Is received with love. With all her fun we have come to the conclusion that Fin can be serious when situations call for this attitude. Gray eyes — brown hair. Gentle ways — never a care, A happy smile, full of fun, A girl who IS loved by everyone. WILBIR FISCHER Npwpiirt Township High School Newport, l a. Bud The young man portrayed above hasn ' t missed a thing taut a few classes since he first graced Bloomsburg ' s fair campus two years ago. How our teachers, our social affairs, and the town movies will get along after he leaves us is a mystery, for Bud is always present even though he doesn ' t al- ways make his presence known. Hailing from way up in Newport Town- ship. Bud dropped in on us and pro- ceeded to attack his school work in a man- ner that made his instructors sit up and take notice. However, he did not stop with that but continued his good work by mak- ing the boys of North Hall enjoy his com- pany by means of a little instrument, a uke. Bud ' s jovial character keeps us all guessing, and it was not until we knew the secret of his sparkling eyes that we were able to prepare for his onslaughts of wit. His ability to imitate various musi- cal Instruments and to impersonate Paul Whiteman was a source of pleasure on many basketball trips. Bud seeks to advance in the field of in- termediate teaching, and the teaching pro- fession will indeed be honored by his pres- ence. He is a student of rare ability and perseverance and a man of high character and a true friend to many at Bloomsburg who are proud to call him such. The school system that receives Bud may well be proud of him.

Many a time she has sacrificed a leisurely moment to hasten downtown for some es- sential party things. As a floor supervisor we find Gertrude a great success. Almost any night you can hear her melodious voice call out, Lights out, girls. Please. We. know this is her duty and so we unquestionably put our lights out. (I wonder?) What would the Nanticoke Club do with- out Trudie? She is one of its chief work- ers. Again, as in the Alpha Delta Sorority, Trudie is always helping things to turn out successfully. Although Gertrude thinks Bloomsburg a fascinating town she thinks Nanticoke is more fascinating. There must be a reason for her week-end trips home. Well, Trudie, we wish you much suc- cess and happiness in the future whether it be housekeeping or teaching. JACK FORTNER HIcMimshiirg Hisli School ItloomsburK. I ' a. Jackie Jack is a down-town boy but he enters entirely into the life of the school. Jack certainly has a host of friends obtained through that smiling countenance which drew us all to him. He is Rooseveltian in his ideas for he be- lieves in participation in all major activi- ties. To get the most out of life. is his motto. One would think him rather small for football but don a uniform he did and for two seasons he stuck to the old game for all he was worth. His interest in ath- letics also embraced basketball and base- ball for he secured a position on the Junior Varsity of both sports. Jack easily found a place in dramatics and music. Last year he s ang in the double mixed quartette, while for three years he has been a member of the Dramatic Club, taking various roles with that art of a Barrymore. Jackie believes in attending all social functions, particularly the after-dinner dances, where he is one of the gentlemen who prefer blondes. It would seem that with his eager par- ticipation in extra-curricular activities that his studies might suffer. He certainly proves us wrong for his work is always done and on time. He deserves all the praise we can give him. In sending him forth we can only ex- press the hope that he may be as success- ful in life as in school. 80 UlOJ ' j ' ' ' ■ - - wiwbhii rf  iii liiM ii I I I f CORA ETTA FRANK Mahanoy City HisU School :Mahanoy City, Pa. Cora Cora came to us from the University of Pennsylvania in 1926. because she says she likes Bloomsburg and the Bloomsburg girls. Those who have known her here are very glad she made that choice, for to know her is to love her. Cora is a tall, dark-haired girl with large, impressive, brown eyes. She has a beauti- ful soprano voice, which has secured for her a place in the Presbyterian Choir, and also made her a member of the Mixed Chorus. She is also a member of the Mu Phi Sigma Sorority. Her winning person- ality and ready smile have made her a friend of everyone. Cora has chosen to be an English teacher In the junior high school. She is a true type of the American girl, and possesses ideals of scholarship, sportsmanship, honor and loyalty to her friends and school. We wish her success and ad% ' ancement, and hope that the perseverance and determi- nation w ' hich have characterized her work in school will remain with her through life. GRACE FRANTZ Picture Kixks Hish School Picture Kmks, Pa. (iracious Sweet of disposition. Loving, wise and kind. Full of true affection — Cannot be defined. Next to blonde curly hair and blue eyes. Grace ' s chief attraction is her personality, for she is congenial, sweet, and refined. Grace is a very studious individvial and sets her goal for A ' s and B ' s . She re- gards a D as a red mark. HER motto is Be sincere — work hard — never fail. and she lives up to it. Although Grace did not live in the dormi- tory, she had a w-ide circle of friends, for she was president of a progressive Speech Arts Club during her Junior year. Another of Grace ' s accomplishments Is music. Give her a piano and she is happy. This year the Mixed Chorus was proud to claim her among its altos. One day she was heard to say. Teaching is the salt of the earth. We wonder if she meant teaching or preaching. We love you as a classmate. Gracious. and our best wishes for your success go with you in whatever the future may hold for you. 81 f I i I i 1 1 .

Bernie Kid Our earliest remembrance of Bernie brings forth a rather clrilclisli Individual with a jovial disposition and an exception- ally curious nature. Coming fresh from the quaint town of Parsons, he departs af- ter his three years sojourn a sophisticated, blase young man. The nonchalant man- ner which he assumes toward trivial mat- ters shows he is destined for great things. The old adage, play and study do not mix. has been proven wrong by Bernie, who is one of North Hall ' s scholastic wonders. His pastime and greatest hobby, though, is dancing. Not since the days of Terpsi- chore and the nymphs has the world beheld such an advocate of the graceful art. When not patronizing a certain Bloomsburg ball room, or studying, he may be found in room 384. North Hall, discussing the past, present, or future dances. Although handicapped by a rather frail physique, Kid has reigned supreme as student tennis champ of our College. As a member of the tennis team he has passed through an entire season undefeated. Due to his consistent playing and his ability as a leader he has been selected to captain the team next season. During his short life at B. S. T. C. he has been a conspicuous figure in the following organizations : Omega Chi Fraternity (Charter member). Dramatic Club. Science Club. So long, Gallagher, the best of luck and success. GERALDINE GARRISON lieruick High School Berwick, Pa. Gerry Dear friend, if thou wouldst be proving Thy strong regard for me. Make me no vows: lip serving is not loving. Ella Wheeler Wilcox expresses better than I can the impressions that Gerry ' s friends hold of her — quiet, amiable and modestly demure. If you and Gerry are friends, you appreciate her deeply, because you can depend upon her to be consistent in her regard for you. No on again — off again for Gerry. Since a person of so unusual a characteristic is very rare it is quite clear why Gerry ' s friends are many and varied. Not only is Gerry the kind one chooses for a friend, but she is an athlete and an extremely diligent student. She has the ability of application and concentration to- ward anything she does. A good trait. Gerry. Cherish it. As for men or love, they don ' t bother her head at all. We are told, however, that her preference is for blondes and that a par- ticularly preferable type might go by the nickname — Ed. But really, we don ' t think she ' s met the one yet. He certainly will be fortimate. Beyond any doubt, Gerry will be suc- cessful in whatever she attempts. We would vote unanimously that she is that type. A trustworthy friend, a good sport, and a persistent scholar — Gerry! 82 djiiiLiiU im ml tmi,hi ml mimy  ' tm  t } ' FRANCIS A. GARRITY Hanover Township IlisU School Looniis Park, Pa. ■Red With the Influx of students in ' 25 there came into our midst a congenial red-haired chap known as Red. Contact with his future companions brought out the fact that lie was a good mixer. Red enhsted as a student of tlie Junior High School group and made splendid prog- ress in that field. He did not hesitate to lend a helping hand whenever he could and before long Red ' s popularity and abil- ity were responsible for his election as Presi- dent of the Junior class that year. The fol- lowing year he was elected President of the Middler class. His entire school career has been one success after another. Red is also an athlete. His speed and fine form on the basketball court coupled with his excellent fielding on the diamond place him in a position to be envied by any one. His hard work and diligence as an athlete, student, and an ever-ready friend can be appreciated after noting these fol- lowing accomplishments: Junior Class President, ' 25: Middler Class President. ' 26; Editor of the Obiter, ' 28: Manager of Football, ' 26: Varsity Basket- ball: Varsity Ba.seball: Member of Dramatic Club: -Treasurer and Charter Member of Iota Chapter of Omega Chi Fraternity. Many happy days were spent in good com- panionship with him and It is with Joy that we wish him success. DOROTHEA GEISS Soranton ' lechnical Hi h Scliool ScrantiHi. Pa. Dottie Dot Curly hair, blue eyes, and a smile. That is our Dottie. No one has ever been able to find her in any mood, other than a good natured one. A good sport, ready to take every dare and enjoy all kinds of fun. Her dry humor is a means of keeping up the spirit on blue days. A big heart — the kindest evei ' — willing to help others, and her iiianner of performing duties makes it easy to ask favors of her. Dot ' s motto is very characteristic of herself and quite consoling to others, since it is something like this. Don ' t work too hard or you might hurt yourself. Her famous sayings may be heard most any time she feels free to really e. press her thoughts. We hear, all that week. I didn ' t get in at night until the next morn- ing. then I wanna go home! Dot is in a rush to get to class — never! She doesn ' t want to get there before she has prepared her lesson and she must walk slowly down steps and across campus while reading and trying to grasp one point that she might fool the instructor into believ- ing she had opened her book before the first bell rang. We. who know her better, are fool proof. She is a member of the Y. W. C. A., but her favorite pastime is wrestling with clay polar bears, camels, etc., to be used as a model for her pupils to follow in art class. Yes, Dot is artistically inclined and it surely is marvelous how she can name the pictures drawn by her children. Though Old Bloom will miss her. we know she will be proud of Dot ' s record as a school teacher, though this phase of her life may be short. We wish her luck and happiness in whatever phase she may choose.

I ' a. ••Maiv Carrie first came into the lime-light when she participated in the Middler Class play • — The New Poor. Although she took the part of a rather spirited spinster, we know it was only a bluff. However, that night revealed to us the fact that Carrie ' s talent is not only pedagogical, but dramatic as well. Carrie has pep enough for a dozen and is usually on hand to help out wherever aid is necessary. Although she isn ' t Irish, she has plenty of wit and uses it to the best advantages. Carrie really deserves a life-saving medal. and steps may be taken to procure one for her. Tlie reason for this is that she usually has plenty of candy on hand when the starving members of fourth floor straggle in from classes. On the other hand. Carrie may be largely responsible for the excess weight that many of us have gained. We wish Carrie all the success possible for a school teacher to attain. We feel sure that with her efficiency, personality, and good will, our wishes will be realized. JANET C. GEMMELL Central High School Scranton, I ' a. .Ian Janet is one of the best natured girls that live in our dorm. You can always hear her singing some popular song as she goes through the halls. Her favorite song is Broken-Hearted, but we really don ' t think she is. Curly hair, ambitious, and peppy is our Jan. She is a good scholar and does not need to exert all her energy in acquir- ing her knowledge. We all appreciate Jan when she plays the role of the Good Sa- maritan because she assists us over dif- ficult places in our lessons. Jan has a great many famous sayings, one in particular being. I have a hunch. In reference to her hunch. it usually means a phone call about 9:30 in the eve- ning from a person important in her life. We have seen Janet take part in our College activities during her two years at Bloomsburg. During the second year we had Janet as our Y. W. C. A. President. She worked hard and faithfully and helped us to reach our goal. Jan did not hmit her- self to the Y. W. but with her excellent so- prano voice she has been a member of the Girls ' Glee Club for both years. Janet has another worthy hobby which is nature study and due to her great interest in this she became a member of the Phi Lambda, an organization in which she was an officer and a leader. We find her in still another place and that is the Mu Phi Sigma Soror- ity, of which she is an active member. She has selected the Intermediate Group for teaching. As a teacher she has met with a great deal of success here, and we are sure moi ' e success will be hers in the fu- ture. But will she stay in the teaching profession very long? You never can tell. Jan. your classmates and friends join in wishing you the best of luck and success. t Ijjjf ■ ■ ■ — - ■ — PATRICK P. GEORGE Hazle ToHn hi|) llis;h School Ha .leton, Pa. I ' af Sheik Hazleton sends us Pat as a represen- tative of the city. After having succeeded in all his work tliere. he sallied forth to new fields to conquer at Bloomsburg State Teachers College. Pat was a shy. almost demure chap when he entered college, but as the days passed we soon began to take notice of him. His fine soap bo. orations and dancing won him a host of admirers, including the co-eds. Pat certainly had a warm spot in his heart for every girl. He was known to take out. in his first year, fifty different girls — to the movies. No wonder the name Shiek has been given him. Pat was an active student and par- ticipated in a number of things about the school. He was a member of the B. D. C the school orchestra: he played guard on the Senior stunt team and was also a mem- ber of the Boys ' Glee Club. Pat is planning to enter the dancing profession after he teaches a few years, and we all know he will be successful in this field. Well. Pat. we wish you all the success in the world, and we expect to hear of his doing something big in the future. MARGARET NANCY GETHING Lykens Hish School Lykens, Pa. .Migs Peg Migs is a happy-go-lucky, all round girl. Her brown hair, blue eyes, and optinristic disposition have won for her many dear friends. She is also a real student and distributes her time properly in applying herself to her studies. She is often seen in the library busily engaged in study. We often wonder if that rapt look in her eyes means thoughts of Dallas! ! ! No one knoweth! Looking on the bright side of life when it seems sad and gloomy is what Migs believes in doing. It is well expressed in her motto: Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you. For if you trouble trouble it ' s sure to trouble you. We have not told you about Migs most treasured accomplishment. She sings like a lark and if anyone doubts this ask any member of the Mixed Chorus about it. Her cheery, Say kid. I must see you: I have so much to tell you. seems to indicate that she is well informed. iWe wonder about what). And to the Professors she says much the same thing, expressed more deferentially, which proves she is well informed in her studies, too. Would that we could read your future because it promises to be of real interest. Best wishes and success in every- thing you endeavor to do. Migs is a member of Speech Arts Club. Mixed Chorus. Glee Club. Sewing Club, and Y. W. C. A. • I 85 • i Mil i i ii ijrf ,1 rf U i DOROTHY GILMORE Noxen HiRh Sihool Noxen, Pa. Dot Sleep, sleep, sleep, Oh liow I love to sleep. We could hardly think otherwise of Dot for she surely likes her bed and stays there in the morning until five minutes before class. No. she is not quite as serious as this picture would make us believe. In fact, she is quite the contrary. As contagious laugh running up and down the scale — That ' s Dot. Dot is one of our long-haired flappers. We wonder how she managed to escape the barber ' s shears. We don ' t blame her for she has something to be proud of. Some of us may be found sighing for our lost tresses. Although Dorothy entered our class in the middle of our Junior year, it didn ' t take her long to become known. She made friends very easily and is continuing to do so. Dot is always reading. No, not what this might imply. Her volume, as we call it, arrives every other day and therefore she is kept busy until the next one comes. A ray of sunshine will bring a smile to Dorothy ' s face but there is another Ray that makes her still happier. Dot seems to be one of the lucky few. She doesn ' t have to spend much time on her studies and is always one of the chief participants In any recitation. When she is with her gang she is one of the JolUest and is always ready for a good time. All we ' ll say is: Dorothy ' s bound to make good — whether it be as a teacher, or — oh, well, let ' s say a — whatever she chooses! There is much more to be said, but since space will not allow we shall conclude with Dot ' s famous saying: And things like that. DOROTHY I. GOSS Jame.s M. Cinisl ' li ' i Hish School AVilkes-lSarre, Pa. I ot Dig Quiet? Well, she is when you first meet her, but after you know her, well — . If you could happen along some time and hear her famous giggle, you ' d know how quiet she is. Wherever you see a crowd you are sure to see Dot. the center of attraction. She is always on hand with her trick sug- gestions for a good time. If you want proof. just ask any one who participated in the feeds in her room. Don ' t get the im- pression that Dot does not study, for she does. Her work is done well and promptly. In conversation Dot admits her Ig- norance of a topic quite candidly — this Is something to be proud of. for very few of us like to admit our weaknesses. She says she is going to be a proverbial old maid school teacher, but we have our doubts — mention Jones or a green Essex coupe if you want her to change the subject. From this you can gleam why Dot spends every other week-end at home. Dot is a member of the Wilkes-Barre Club and served in the capacity of trea- surer in her Junior year. As proof of her popularity and ability she was chosen Presi- dent this year. Well. Dot, we wish you lots of luck in your teaching, but don ' t teach too long! t il 1 JLUL II MILDRED GREENFIELD { ' eiitr.il High School Scranton. Pa. •Mil- She ' s sweet of disposition. She ' s loving, wise and kind. She ' s full of true affection. She cannot be defined. Here is another one of our girls whose appearance denotes modesty and quietness. But . . . are you right? I should say not. Mil is a good sport and always ready for a good time. Her chief delights are movies. music, fiction and chocolates. She was an active member of the Scran- ton. Current and Children ' s Literature Clubs. Mil ' s first impression of Bloomsburg was rather cold because she was one of our mid-year entrants. However, that was no drawback, since with her attractive per- sonality and charming ways, it was only a short while until she had won for herself a score of friends in the dormitory. She always has a pleasant smile and cheery yells for everyone. Mildred certainly has a wonderfully strong will power when It comes to dieting. We congratulate her on that. She ' s the kind of a girl that determines to do a thing and then changes her mind. Of course that ' s a woman ' s privilege. Mil has the required qualities for a teacher but we would not feel safe In prophesying that she will teach for many years. Teaching isn ' t the foremost thought in her mind. Mil ' s charms seem to be fatal to the opposite sex. leaving all very much bewildered as to whom she likes most. As a teacher she is bound to be success- ful, and although her teaching years may be short, still she has our good wishes for that and for what may follow. DOROTHY HlMl ' HREV GRESH Williaiiisport Hii;h School Milton. I ' a. Dotty Dot To the little town of Milton goes the credit for sending to us this serious, studi- ous Miss. Although she was ever a willing sponsor of any social activity, Dotty never succumbed to the lure of the opposite sex. Coming here with the express purpose of securing the training that would enable her to become an educator of Young America. Dorothy felt that she had no time to waste on silly affairs. As a member of the intermediate group she studied her way to the scholastic lead- ership of that section. The field of science received her concentrated efforts and need- less to say she has a record that is quite enviable. Not satisfied with merely study- ing the subject. Dotty secured a position in the office in Science Hall, where she ac- quired first-hand knowledge of the methods. Still in quest of that treasured knowl- edge, Dot deserted us for a time in favor of Berwick. Here, again, she gave her best efforts. Her attitude towards her work is very well Illustrated by these few lines; To do your best, there honor lies. At sawing wood or swatting flies. At writing poenis. or raising greens. Or making coffee out of beans. Your work at Bloomsburg has shown us of what you are capable. It Is with our sincere wishes for success and happiness that you leave us. t jJ,l,li ii fcrfJ UWwbb Mi i ' ' iifciW H lnlrfrf t bJUJL I I MARY GHESKO St. Ann ' s llij;Ii Scliool Freeland. I ' a. Marv Happy am I. from cares I ' m free. Why aren ' t they all contented like me? Mary is one of those studious girls who came to us last February from St. Ann ' s High School. Preeland, Pa. A very sweet, kind-hearted and lovable girl is Mary. She is most considerate of other people ' s feel- ings. This is due partly to her cheerful dis- position and partly to an unfailing sense ot loyalty. Mary is quite an active member of the Geography Club, and a Charter Member and treasurer of the Camp Fire Girls. In Science — what a thinker! In Psych- ology? Well, that ' s a secret we cannot di- vulge. In Basketball — one of our most en- thusiastic participants. Mary has acquired from her reading of Ben Franklin the proverb. Early to bed and early to rise — . Beneath her love for fun, she carries a heart of gold, gen- tleness, kindness and sympathy. Toward Mary we extend our heartiest wishes for the utmost success and happiness, which we are sure will be enjoyed by her in the future. RUTH E. GUEST Blakelv Ui ' h Siliiiol Peokville, I ' a. Kuth Ten bells and lights out! How Ruth al- ways dreaded that time to come. A great commotion, a loud cheery laugh, and a voice questioning. Mae. how about having some- thing to eat? I ' m nearly starved. Say. is the alarm clock on silent? Call me at si.x o ' clock, but don ' t awaken me. That was always Ruth ' s Good-night. We usually do as we ' re told, and so. we can ' t be sur- prised to see her rushing about to get to breakfast. (Ruth very seldom hurries). You know, Ruth is a very serious girl — worries so much about sleep, eats, letters that she doesn ' t find time to think about lesson plans and subjects. She is ready for any fun that comes along — sometimes she doesn ' t wait for it to come, but just starts it herself. One really wouldn ' t think Ruth to be so jolly, but you ' re not well enough acquainted perhaps. True-blue? Well. I ' ll say. She ' s courteous, considerate, kind and gentle. You just bet she ' s affectionate. (Ask the boy friend from Bucknell). Ruth ' s chief hobby is laughing. One really can en- joy hearing her melodious laugh. What does she laugh about — well! Nothing in particu- lar. Guess she believes in the saying, Laugh and grow fat. But she doesn ' t get fat for all her laughing, sleeping and eating. Ruth ' s very latest hobby is — a tall, slim blonde, and — oh, no, that would be telling. Ruth de- lights in singing, dancing, hiking and bas- ketball. She also takes great interest in the Girls ' Glee Club and the Y. W. C. A. Ruth ' s to be married in seven years — so the fortune tellers say. Well, anya-ay. Ruth, we wish you luck not only in Cupid ' s affairs but in everything you undertake. 1 1 1 JUJ.l.llJ I M ■ : ■ 4 m m, ■■■ ■■ ■ ■  l l M i Ml  ' MARTHA ATKEX HAGUE Plains Hisli Siliool Plains, Pa. Soottie Scottie. (as her name implies — Scotch). or better knowm as Mart, is a little blue- eyed blonde of medium height and very delicate features. She makes friends very easily and is well liked, that is. when once you know her and the ice is broken. Martha has been with us here at Blooms- burg three summers, so she is not exactly new to her surroundings. She gets much pleasure out of forming her new friendships. True to her Scottish descent, she is very deliberate in speech, ennunciating her syl- lables perfectly. She is not the lip-lazy American type as most of us are. tor in- stead of saying. Wouldn ' t chu care to go? she plainly ' says. Huh — why are you going? Scottie is just dying to get her school career over, and begin teaching. We can- not refrain from reminding her of several infrequent sayings which we find in this poem — Alas, how soon the hours are over. Counted us out to play the rover: And how much narrower now is the stage. Allotted us to play the sage. But when we play the fool, how wide The theater expands. Beside. How long the audience sit before us; How many prompters. What a chorus. You see she belongs to the Children ' s Literature Club, and oh, how she hates to participate. Meet her in the hall or on the campus and she always has a hearty response to your greeting, but It is a seri- ous matter to get her before the public. She plans to join the Mixed Chorus. If that is true they will get a valuable addition for Mart has a truly musical voice. If your success in life depends on mak- ing friends we know that your life will have a large share of happiness and success in it. MARGARET HANDLONG Forty Fort Hisli School Forty Fort. Pa. Peg- When one thinks of Art. there naturally arises in one ' s mind the thought of Peg. She possesses an unusual amouiit of artis- tic ability. She always solved our most dif- ficult Art problems, with a few strokes from her pencil and a few deft touches of her brush. For any performance going on at school. Peg ' s posters could always be found advertising it. Many rooms in the dormitory have one of her posters as an outstanding decoration. How to lose w-eight was one of Peg ' s biggest problems, but determination and hard work fulfilled her fondest desire. She possesses a very pleasing disposition and never refuses to lend a helping hand where help is needed. She ' s a happy-go- lucky sort of a girl, who smiles her way into everyone ' s heart. That is Peg. Don ' t mention study. She isn ' t always seen studying but still she always knows her lessons. A thorough fun-loving all-around girl is She. What ' s the menu. Peg, can be heard at all intervals of the day. This is a ques- tion she is always able to answer. She was a very diligent worker in the 1926-27 Art Guild, and also in the Nutri- tion Club. Peg did her utmost in organiz- ing the Nutrition Club. We could write on and on good words about Peg. but since space is limited, we will have to say in these few words: We wish you all the success and happiness that you can attain in your future life.

Behind those blue eyes lurks a great deal of mischief. She is gay, friendly, and a good, all-around sport — always ready for a good time, but not to the extent of ne- glecting her duties. Don ' t work too hard, or you might hurt yourself, seems to be Esther ' s motto. Es is one of the wittiest members of our class. She is one of those girls who can ' t worry. Es is very lovable, with a pleasing per- sonality, and a smile for everyone. She has won many friends at B. S. T. C. As a good sport, Esther rates high. She can always be found looking for a good time, and if she could not find one. she could very easily make one. She spends part of her time wishing she were home. The rest she spends in mark- ing off the days on the calendar trying to persuade herself that vacation is nearer than it really is. Esther has had the privilege of practic- ing her future profession in the Berwick schools, for she says she Intends to teach. We wonder whether she expects us to be- lieve this, when all evidence points against it. A willing worker, a good classmate, a true friend, a pal — put these all together and they spell Just Esther. Our best wishes follow you, Esther. JEANETTE HASTIE .Vvoca High School Avoca. Pa. Jean Here is Jeanette, with beautiful auburn wavy hair, brown eyes, and a dreamy, pen- sive look. She is one of our Industrious girls who seems to glory in work. Did you ever see her enter a class-room unprepared? Well. I guess not. Jeanette is a good sport and likes her good times, but she believes in work before play. Since she entered this institution, Jea- nette has entwined herself about the hearts of many. Her winning ways and pleasing personality have been enhanced during her stay with us. She can take a Joke — even though she may be the one on whom it is played. Jeanette is a good mixer, even though she may seem to be rather cool — she is re- served with those whom she does not know well. At parties, Jeanette ' s Jolly laughter can be heard above the others, for she Joins in a party whole-heartedly. We like to watch her eat. because she enjoys that pas- time. Jeanette is a member of the Y. W. C. A. and Is always dependable . . . like the rock of Gibraltar. As for Jeanette ' s future — we are siu-e it is going to be successful, for how could It be otherwise for so charming a girl? We wish for happiness and success in the future.

Kav llawkie Of the many students who came fi ' om Newport. Ray will be best remembered by us because of his modest ways and win- ning personahty. His smile made friends everywhere that eventful day in tlie fall of 1925 when we were introduced to our future home. Many were the lonesome Frosh. with their little dinks and meek manners, who were cheered and encouraged by this same carefree Hawkie. No honor was ever more fittingly bestowed than the captaincy of our 1927 football team, when it was entrusted to Ray. For three years his stellar work at tackle brought him grid fame. His splendid interfer- ence and hard tackling will long stand in the memory of Bloomsburg football fans. He has also distinguished him.self as a backguard In basketball. Hawkie ' s success, however, has not been limited to athletics. His scholastic stand- ing Is an enviable one. His value as a lead- er was first discovered by the Bloomsburg Players, who made him president in 1926. Since that time he has been honored with the office of Supreme Counsellor of the Omega Chi Fraternity, Assistant Dean of Men. and other offices too numerous to mention. Bloomsburg can feel proud to call Hawk- Ins one of her sons, and it is with a sincere wish for his success that we send him forth. SARAH E. H RISER Lewisburs llifjli Scliool Levvisburf;, Pa. Sara This young lady is one of the many am- bitious individuals who find it impossible to attend the College during the regular school year. Although greatly handicapped in this respect her desire to become one of the chosen profession is too great to be held down so she is an annual student of the summer school. Sara is one of those good natured girls who would do anything for anybody. Her genial good nature has made her a host of friends both at school and at home. Those who had the misfortune of not meeting her have certainly missed an important part of their education at Bloomsburg. Sara is co-operation personified. A glance at her picture will convince the most skeptical that she is a real student. During her sojourn at this institution she has been one of our most admii ' ed scholastic leaders. Sara ' s daily visit to the library is just as regular as the sunrise. It is this characteristic regularity that has made her the scholar that she is. If her work at Bloomsburg is any indica- tion of her future endeavors she will be an outstanding teacher. 91 ' ' - • ' ' r ' ' ' ' •- •• ' r r il I fi J J if ' i Vir i t RAYMOND HEISS Berwick High School .Millliiiville. Pa. •Kay This young man came to Bloomsburg as a diamond in the rough with the group that entered in our Freshman year. He is that type of fellow who would make almost any sacrifice for a friend. His fine person- ality soon made him one of the few really popular fellows in our class. His good- natured manner soon made for him many friends whose companionships have made his college life a pleasant one. Like all wide awake fellows he enjoys playing tricks on his schoolmates and it was the wisdom of these pranks that first made us sit up and take notice. He is a real student and distributes his time properly in applying himself to his school work. He is very often seen in the library busily engaged in selecting material for future classes. As a student teacher he has made con- siderable progress as our observations and a review of his records have shown us. His attitude toward his work and his natural interest in the teaching indicates that he will make an ideal teacher. Our respect and admiration for him has been increased, if that is possible, by the little favors he has done for us. Judging by his application to his studies while at Bloomsburg we predict that before many years have passed we will find this young man well on his way to the leader- ship in his chosen field. LIDA M. HENDERSHOT Taylor High .school Taylor, Pa. Lid If you should hear some one coining down the hall singing one of the latest melodies, that is Lid. Every one who knows her has at some time been known to say. I wish that I could be like Lida. She never worries about anything and she always comes out O. K. Her strong personality, sunny disposition, ready wit. and keen sense of humor has won for her a wide circle of friends among both sexes. Laugh and grow fat seems to be her motto. She laughs and gets a big kick out of everything, but where does the rest of the motto come in? Lida likes to sleep — missing the train coming back after vacation last year proved this. But there isn ' t much of anything else that she misses. She is always on hand whenever there are eats. Although singing and laughing are two of her greatest specialties don ' t think that Lida never gives any time to her studies. She is always well informed on all sub- jects that are discussed in class, and we predict a bright future for her. Lida is quite an athlete. She likes tennis and could always be found on the courts during her spare time. Her clean, first- rate guarding won her a place on the Junior Girls ' Basketball Team last year. In fact, all sports claim a share of her interests. When Lida was elected Treasurer of the Children ' s Literature Club, it was evidence of her popularity among those who knew her. Her fine voice was also an asset to the Glee Club. Good luck and success blest with happi- ness to you. Lida. and don ' t forget to keep on laughing through life. 92 Lj It X J l,ii i Mi i wM .giM ( III k i 1, rfb, I MARY K. HEINTZELMAN ?iunhur Hi li fluH)l Sunbury, Pa. Marigold First appearances are usually considered lasting, but this doesn ' t prove so In Mary ' s case. At first sight you think she ' s a gen- tle, quiet, submissive young Miss, but when you know her well you find she is entirely different. She is gentle — to a certain ex- tent, but the term submissive does not fit this girl at all. She will not yield to any- thing until It has been satisfactorily proven or explained. During the second nine weeks of her Senior year. Mary Journeyed to Berwick, where she did half of her practice teach- ing. Her merry laugh was heard through- out the halls at Bloom or the house at Berwick. Any time she wasn ' t too busy working. Mary fitted into the role of the Jolly Jester. Mary is small and some chose to call her Little Mary. but we are sure she will make a good teacher for it ' s quality, not quantity, that counts. Last year Mary was a rather conspicious figure In the Book Club. Her conspicious- ness was due to the energy and ambition which was lavishly given to the affairs of the organization. At present the Y. W. C. A. is proud to have her as a member and not without good reason. We extend our sincere wishes for a happy and successful career as a teacher. May you always progress as you did during the few short years that we were privileged to know vou. MILDRED M. HERR Berwick Hish si huol Berwick.

How- ever, we ' re always glad to have Mid around for she ' s better than a newspaper. If you want to know any of the latest news or gossip, ask Mildred. She ' ll know. There ' s just one thing about her that we regret. She doesn ' t seem able to remember that she ' s grown up. When she was a child she was quite fond of playing jacks. Well, here she is a Senior in College and still fond of jacks! — No. just JACK. If you ' re ever in Science Hall and hear a strange voice in the vicinity of the Lock- er Room — well, that ' s Mildred practicing some of the latest songs. You know she must keep that grand opera voice in train- ing. She is one of the niost enthusiastic members of the Glee Club. We are sure that Mildred will make a success of her work — for she works and plays with the same vigor. Here ' s luck to you. Mid. Of one thing we are certain, we will all miss Herr when she leaves B. S. T. C. 93 t ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ■ ' •V ' ' ' ' r ' ' ' - r vn ujijjiy fcUti !

It ' s contagious and if you ' re feelln ' gloomy and wish to re- main so. stay away from those laughing brown eyes and that smile. Some people don ' t know how to take that smile but believe me, she ' s always laughing with you instead of at you. This young lady seems to be in perfect health but about once every minute she exclaims. I just thought I ' d die! She doesn ' t talk much, that is not until she gets started right, and then — well, from past ex- perience we have learned to just let her go ahead and talk. Hess is very fond of every type of ath- letics. You see her on the hockey field, tennis courts, and in volley ball, basketball and baseball games. She also likes hiking — especially hiking home. Hess has one failing — no two. One is a certain party and the other is bread and jam. No feed is complete without it so Hess thinks. Hess is a very conscientious worker and goes at everything with a right good will. She helped make the Speech Arts Club a success in her Junior year. She also has done a goodly share for the Glee Club in the two short years she has spent here. She is an active, regular member of the Y. W. C. A. Before we leave we would like to advise her to meet the rest of the wide, wide world with the same laughing smile that has conquered B. S. T. C. for her. MILUKEU I.

She has won. not only the good will and love of all who know her but also the dis- tinction of being an honor student. Don ' t be misled by her photograph; she is serious when doing school work. When that is fin- ished she is a witty, laughing girl as her big blue eyes would soon reveal to you. Hessie ' s interests are many. Music, art aiid athletics occupy much of her time. She just loves tennis and dancing. Just mention dancing and Hessie is there in all her glory. She is a member of the Rural Club, the Glee Club, and the Art Guild. Her great weakness is a dark-haired sheik. She certainly is popular with the opposite sex. but how can she be otherwise with her suiiny smile and laughing eyes. Her most frequent saying is, I wonder if I ' ve fallen for that egg. Hessie. the class of ' 28 wishes you suc- cess in everything that you undertake.

The predominant impression one receives is that she is a real true pal. friend and sport. Boots ' smile is a big factor in making friends. A glance, a smile, and you have accepted her as your friend. Boots ' per- sonality has a charm which makes acquain- tances say, What a personality! Her school pais say. She ' s a peach! Never did we pine about difficulties which so fre- quently arose, because Boots would sim- ply chase the blues away. Her voice became an asset to the choruses, and the Dramatic Club considered her an important member. No role was too dif- ficult for her. and she performed with the ability of a born actress. Little need be said about her ability as a basketball player because she has repeat- edly proven that she knows how. She was a guard on the Junior All Star team, and her presence gave everyone pep and vim — which always brought about certain victory. Boots was a leader in every sport — hockey, baseball, basketball and volley ball. She played the game and played it well. Naught can be said to mar her sportsman- ship record; rather we can say A girl who is sweet. A girl who is true — Without her — we wonder Just what we would do! MARGARET EVE HILL Central High School Scranton. Pa. Peg Short. Vegetables. Half pint. a few of Peg ' s pet names. Take your choice — that ' s what we did, and Peg will answer to any name. Peg Is one of the shortest and sweet- est girls of our class. She hails from that quiet town of Scranton. Is she quiet? I should say not ! It does not take long to find out that ! She is mischievous and al- ways up to some new prank. Peg has an unusual gift of being very talkative and making remarks which can be taken a dozen different ways. She loves excitement and if none comes her way, she is likely to create it herself. Peg is always ready to eat. regardless of when, where, how. or what. (Hot-dogs are her speciality!) She attends all games, both football and basketball. I wonder why? She can draw a smile from her classmates by her witty remarks. As a member of the Children ' s Literature Club, Peg surpasses many of the most notable actresses — Mary Pickford and a few others. She is vice-president of the Scran- ton Club, and a very good vice-president at that. She is a good sport, and is a willing stu- dent; we wish her success and happiness in future years. 95 i CATHERINE HINKLE Mt. C ' arniel Hif;li scIkmiI Mt. C ' arniel. I a. Kitty Laugh and the world laughs with you Catherine has the ability of impressing one as being silent, timid, and sedate — but not so when you know her. She has a pleas- ing personality and numbers her friends by the score. The most outstanding charac- teristic of Catherine is her good nature. You cannot fail to notice it. for she is seldom known to be cross over an argument, and is always smiling. Kitty seems to know just how to com- bine study and pleasure in order to secure the greatest possible results. Her motto seems to be. Work hard, play hard. for she puts all her energy in every thing she does, be it work or fun. The fourth floor was fortunate in securing Catherine for one of its supervisors. Dancing is Catherine ' s favorite hobby. She is always ready for a good time. Her dancing ability, mixed with her sunny dis- position, makes her popular with everyone. We don ' t know what Catherine has planned for the future, but whatever she does we are certain she will succeed, just as she succeeded in gaining the admira- tion of her friends at B. S. T. C. But re- member. Catherine, always be Frank. GLADY.S HIRS( H Taiiia |iia lli h School Tamaqiia. Pa.

May success be yours, through the many long years. To her acquaintances. Gladys appears re- served and quiet, but those who know her best realize she is full of life and real fun. She is one of the bright lights of the class and is always ready to do a little more than is asked of her. She studies hard and still finds time to take part in many school activities. Bes ides being an active member of the Dramatic Club. Gladys has displayed her nrusical talent this year in the Double Quartette. Big blue eyes and a face that is sweet and strong, a disposition amiable, cheerful, all day long — that ' s Gladys. She can study, she can sing, she can dance. Perhaps the best way to describe this lass who en- gages in so many activities is to use the phrase — an all-round girl. Gladys has given us several reasons to believe that she won ' t teach school all her life, but perhaps those letters from Harold help us along in our belief. However, all we can prophesy for her is success and hap- piness. 96 t: .i k JmkJ,J .t ■ . . -.. v I KARLEEX M. HOFFMAN Blooni lniri; llijjh School HloDin-buii;. I ' ll. Kiirleen Clatter! Clatter!

On the girl ' s face is a pre-occupied look — glance over her shoulder, and you will see that she Is reading a book telling about the successful writing of fairy tales. Have you guessed who it is? Karleen is in many ways a very re- markable girl. She possesses rare humor and good sense. She is one of the few- people who have acquired the ability to talk for an hour and really say something. The only occasion we can remember Kar- leen being silent was the time she discov- ered that the Maroon and Gold has her given name printed correctly. The shock was so great that Karleen could not speak for one whole minute. Karleen is always as busy as the pro- verbial country latt-yer. Her one weakness is her inability to say No when she is called in to do extra work or assist others. She is an outstanding member of the Dramatic Club. It is here that her ver- satility is revealed. She can act and direct plays with the snap of a professional. As Vice-President of Mu Phi Sigma Kar- leen has kept things popping. Besides all her other accomplishments this delightful young lady has the power to tell us all about our past, present and fu- ture. Our most sincere wish for your future. Karleen, may be summed up in the one word — Success. MAR.IORIE M. HOFMEISTER .laine M. Coiislilin Mish School Uilko-Harre. I ' a. Marfte Did you say a peach of a girl and pal? Well, that ' s just what Marge is. She is always ready for a good time. This was shown by the feeds that were given in her room during her stay at Bloomsburg. You will never starve while Marge is near to help prepare a feed. Marge is not only good at preparing feeds, but she is a good worker in everything. Marge has become quite an astronomist since coming to this institution. She is always looking for the moon and stars — es- pecially the moon. Marge can always tell you when a full moon is about to appear. Marge is always looking for something — if it isn ' t the moon, it is a Dodge sedan, or else mail. Marjorie is an active member of the Wilkes-Barre Club, and has done all in her power to make it a success. Marge is al- so an active member of the Dramatic Club, and she has directed plays as well as played her roles. We know that Marge will be a success in the profession she has chosen. 97 {tllAli.l ...liJlilH. i. A . i ■■ fcAil ii DOROTHY A. HOOK BluoiiiMbiii;; lliKli School Bloomshiirs.

Well, Dot. you have our hearty support and good wishes that you reach your goal and even push the top oif o ' it and see into a higher realm. When you first meet Dot you will think that she belongs to that quiet, backward group of femininity, but if you want ac- tual facts just hang around some night when she and Jim are going down East Street, homeward bound. You ' ll change your ideas then. Fate hasn ' t been so kind to Dot this last year, as she has been separated from her chum, but then she is still true to her and what matters a few hoiu-s for: To have a pal and conirade And a friend of tested worth.

Helen when asked a thing she does not guess: She knows and answers No or Yes. Helen is one of those quiet girls: but When one knows her she is very talkative and jolly. She has a smile for everybody. A lovable disposition by all whom She is acquainted with. Helen is a real champ at basketball, volley ball and tennis. Consequently, she is quite a figure in the frequent tennis tour- naments. She is going to teach the In- termediate children at school. Her attitude toward her class work and her ways all add to her success as a teacher. She is very studious and loves the kiddies. She is al- ways ready for a good time, but never ne- glects her work for other things. She is an active member of the Sewing Club and First Aid.

This is one of the many queries that greeted us on our return to B. S. T. C. in the fall of ' 27. For a time it was Inipos- sible to And an answer. Suddenly we were enlightened as a long, lean, bespectacled youth with a serious countenance emerged from the stairway leading to the boy ' s lock- er room. So that was it. The pinochle and checker champ of the domain of the masculine commuters had returned. Lit- tle wonder the boys from the outlying dis- tricts were disappointed. Shattered were their dreams of checker and card champion- ships, all because of the return of Doyle. Although hard pressed by challengers for his honors. Doyle has never been known to neglect his school work. The sight of this young man In a secluded corner of the li- brary, poring over huge volumes Is fa- miliar to frequenters of that room. The teachers have in him the ideal student and it is with misgivings that we observe him conversing easily with our instructors on subjects beyond our intellectual horizon. Not content with being a baseball man- ager in the simple sense of the word, Ivey donned a suit and adequately filled any gap in the lineup, both in practice and in a game. On more than one occasion his fast one made the best batters on the Varsity squad whiff the breeze. Continue as a teacher as you have as a student, Doyle, and your success is assured. HARRIET IVEY Bloomsbiirg High ficliool Bloomsburg. Pa. Harri Ladies and Gentlemen! May I take the pleasure in presenting to you Miss Harriet Ivey, of Bloomsburg. That really wasn ' t necessary, was it, but now I am sure that you all know her. Harriet is one of our most staunch sup- porters. By that I mean she supports her school, her subjects, her friends, and es- pecially her boy friend. That is the most important point. In the two years of her college life she has proved to us that whatever she under- takes she accomplishes. This we can ac- credit to her earnestness and zeal. As a primary teacher she wins the hearts of the children and delights in writing out motive and check-up questions. Her biggest ambition is to teach in the public schools of Bloomsburg until she has her certificate. After that she will be a staunch supporter of football, basketball and baseball teams. Sports have always been her main hobby. Now, I wonder why? Never mind. Harriet, if it were not for sports it would be something else. ■We heard of people being called good sports. ' We didn ' t know exactly what that meant until Harriet, with her broad vision and her sense of fair play revealed to us the true meaning of the words. ' Would that we could read her future; it promises to be one of interest. Here ' s to the girl that ' s good and sweet. Here ' s to the girl that ' s true. Here ' s to the girl that rules Bob ' s heart, In other words, it ' s Harriet, too. ■ . . I . J. .... . . . I . . . . . . - . . . . j ii i r i i i GENEVIEVE M.

She appears to be quiet, but when one becomes acquainted with her, one dis- covers that she is full of fun. As she sits in silence she di-eams, and we cannot help but think it is Jimmy. of whom she dreams. If this gentleman, who so frequent- ly occupies her mind, is so much in earnest, he will have to change his plans, for Gen expects to teach at least five years. Gen is a very dependable sort of per- son. In fact, sometimes she neglects her work to do something for some one. Gen likes to dance, and so every night she is in the gym dancing to the tune of the latest music. She certainly can step! Gen is an active member of the Chil- dren ' s Literature Club and the Hostesses ' Club. She has chosen the Primary group for her future work. We prophesy success for her in the future. HELEN JENKES Hugliestown llish School Hughestown, I ' a. Jinks Wheiiever you see a brown-eyed, curly- haired girl go singing through the halls — that ' s JINKS. She seems to be happy all the time, and she has a smile for every- one. She ' s the same carefree lass, day in and day out; she never worries about her studies: yet she never neglects them. She seems to feel that there is a time for work and a time for play. In sports she is ever ready to participate, especially in basketball and tennis. Look at her any time in the spring of the year and you ' ll see her flitting over the courts. Dancing is another one of Helen ' s favorite pastimes. Jinks is a willing worker and this won for her the office of corresponding secre- tary of the Mu Phi Sigma Sorority. She is also a member of the Bloomsburg Players and displayed her talent along this line in weekly plays and in the Middler class play. She is a member of the Mixed Chorus and of the Glee Club. However, Helen is interested in more than these things. She is always interested In finding out when the mail is in. Shall we let them in on a little personal secret? Nothing doing! But you will admit that you think Beta Kappa is a good fraternity — won ' t you, Helen? She is one of those girls whose friendship we all wish to have and to hold; a good friend, a good sport, a good pal — that ' s Helen. Good luck in your chosen profes- sion.

Kitty is one of those amiable girls, who hails from St. Mary ' s High School. Wilkes-Barre. Her winning personality and charming smile have won for her friends on all sides, and she is loved by all with whom she is acquainted. She is always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in time of trouble. Kitty walks through the halls in a very dignified manner, and judging by her ac- tions, we are certain that she will be suc- cessful in whatever she undertakes. She is always bright and cheery, and we are sure she will be a lovable little teacher. We think Kitty will spend very little time as a school marm because she has her eyes set on higher Ideals. In the fu- ture we will miss Kitty ' s presence in the Current Events Club and Book Club. Her athletic ability we will miss very much, for she was always a participant in the tennis, basketball and volley ball tournaments. Well. Kitty. we prophesy a joyous and successful future. EPITH MARY JOHNSON Catawissa Hi;;h School Catauissa, Pa. Tiny Who is that small girl we see so often hurrying down College Hill? Her cry is, Oh! If I don ' t make that bus! — Why cer- tainly, it is Tiny! Perhaps it will explain matters by saying that Tiny is from Cata- wissa. She graduated from Catawissa High School with the class of 1926. Proof of her popu- larity was the fact that she was class presi- dent for three years. The duties of that office she fulfilled most efficiently. Her picture shows a quiet, reserved type, but closer acquaintanceship with her re- veals to us the fact that she is a fun-lov- ing person, full of pep and vitality. She studies — sometimes. In fact, almost any time you see her you may hear her say, Oh, I have so much to do. And we think she does it, too, because many mornings, coming over on the bus, she tells us how late she has stayed up the night before to finish some work. Tiny. we wish you the best of luck in teaching. We know that you will succeed because of the unfailing efforts you always put forth in everything you undertake. • 101 DOROTHY JONES Pittstou Ilisli School Pittstoii. Pa.

Peg Jonesie Here is another one of the Taylor re- cruits. Peg is one of those girls who can claim a large circle of friends, the reason for this being her pleasing personality. She is a true and faithful friend, and is al- ways doing something to help others. Peg ' s hobby is athletics. In her Junior year she was a member of the famous girls ' basketball team. At every athletic event, one is sure to find her in the foreground. Her greatest ambition is to become a phy- sical training supervisor and we are confi- dent that before slie has finished her teach- ing career, she will have attained her goal. Peg is an all-around girl interested In everyone and everything, especially eats. She isn ' t sure whether she eats to live or lives to eat, but no matter which it is. she never goes hungry. We have often heard lectures about school spirit and about the lack of it. but Peg always gave her time and atten- tion to every activity that was connected with the school. Whenever it was possible for her to do so. Peg attended all of the college games and supported our teams loy- ally. Not only did she attend games, but she was also a faithful member of the D. R. Club, the Children ' s Literature Club, and the Girls ' Glee Club. Peg. we all wish you success in your teaching and hope that some day you will attain your greatest ambition. ;-  ■ -i 1 i g. 11 ALBERT KALWEIT Nanticoke High School Xantitoke. Pa.

Although Kalweit comes from a town that has a national reputation for its fine teams he prefers to watch the game from the sidelines and de- vote his time to studies. As a result he is one of the outstanding students of our class. Not being especially Interested in ath- letics. Cal turned his attention to the field of extra-curricular activities where he has made considerable progress. The Mens Glee Club would sadly miss his splendid voice should he be forced to discontinue his membership. The high plane on which this organization now stands is due in part to his energetic efforts. The fact that Al is ever-ready to lend a helping hand has made him a host of friends. No matter how hard or difficult the task you can depend on him for en- couragement and advice.

Pa. .Jim HAIL. BOYS! ANOTHER BLONDE! And this one comes from Bloomsburg. She came to us a quiet, studious, girl, but college certainly has changed her. One thing that hasn ' t daunted her is the college male. for we hear that her inclinations are directed toward a certain person in Boston. Too bad that he is so far away; but then, distance matters not. for ab- sence makes the heart grow fonder. It seems strange that Jim hasn ' t en- tered into college activities as she did in the high school days, for in those, she al- ways played one of the leading roles. This, too. must be one of the ways that college life has affected her. Boy. I ' m hungry! That ' s Myrna. Always hungrj and always eating. Bush ' s is cer- tainly a handy place and seems to be the center of such student activity. It is certainly a lonesome place when the stu- dents are home on their vacations.

She is one of those lucky girls who make friends easily and keep them because of her wonderful disposition. Did you ever ask Peg for help and have her refuse? No. indeed. Peg is always willing and anxious to help anyone that needs it. We have been wondering for a long time why. whenever we would go into Peg ' s room, she is always playing Who Is Your Who on the victrola. but we have found the reason at last and a fellow with laugh- ing brown eyes solves the mystery. Who said a Studebaker wasn ' t a good car? Just ask Peg. she ' ll tell you wheth- er they are good or not. Zack has taken a sudden fancy to ath- letics, especially basketball, and when you ask her about it she says, Oh! You! We wonder! ! ! And is she good in her studies? Well, I guess. She gets her lessons though we can ' t say when or how. Did someone say it was time to eat? You need not repeat the invitation: there she is all set to do her share.

On first appearance one would think that Pal was dignified, quiet and sedate, but underneath is found a fountain of laughter always ready to bubble forth. She is never too busy to join in a good time, and no party is ever a party without her. Lessons never seem to bother her much. Although she is never seen studying she is always prepared for recitation. Patsy is one big reason for the Wilkes- Barre Club. Her voice has found its way into the Girls ' Glee Club and the Mixed Chorus. Tlie Dramatic Club knows this excellent actress in many different charac- ters. She is an active member of the Phi Gamma Tau Sorority. If necessary she would drop any .or all clubs in order that she might participate in athletics. She was one of the guards on the all-star Junior Basketball Team and is a tennis player of note. Volleyball, hockey, baseball and swimming are only a few more of her ac- complishments. We are sure that a girl with such a versatile nature could never be other than an entire success. She is chic, she is gay. A Jolly girl, a real good sport. With such a girl I ' d wend my way. And say she is the Ideal Sort. RUEY KENWORTHY •James I. Coiiglilin Hisli School Wilkes-Barre. Pa. Rue Who is that good looking, dark-eyed girl over there? Don ' t you know? Why that is Ruey Kenworthy. She is one of our best students. Work always comes first with her. Rueys favorite phrase when asked to go down town is. I can ' t now. I must study When we were freshmen. Ruey led the singing in Junior Chapel and she certainly made us sing. Ruey is very much interested in art. Some day she hopes to become an interior decorator. We are afraid that the only chance she will get to practice interior decorating will be in her own home, as a certain young man seems, well rather — er — persistent. Sh! Don ' t tell. Ruey is a wonderful pal as her many friends will say. She is always ready to do all she can for any one of us. It truly can be said that. To know her is to love her. We are certain that Ruey will make a fine teacher and we wish her the very best of success and happiness in all her work. ALMA -MARY KERSHAW Hazletmi Hish School Hazleton. Pa. •■Babe Babe is the name of this sophisticated young primary teacher. She is an active member of the Dramatic Club. Alpha Delta Zeta Sorority, and the Maroon and Gold Staff. She was also chairman of the Re- ception Committee of the Junior Prom and helped to make it the success it was. Babe is another member of the Hazle- ton Bunch. Perhaps you think she doesn ' t study, but quite the contrary — she is in- dustrious. A proof of this is her work in the first grade room. Babe is always ready to eat. She is one of Bush ' s most frequent customers. Chocolate frost seems to be her favorite drink, especially when she ' s with some one. But that ' s a secret we promised not to tell. Her pleasing disposition and winning per- sonality make her a friend one can cher- ish as one would a treasure. We know a good deal more about this young lady, but then we weren ' t supposed to wTite a book. Babe, we are sure the future will share with you its luck, success and happiness. 105 iJ t i0 t0 0 mi  l — M M fc l wj MILDRED V. KESTER FreelaiHl His ' ' Siliool Fieelauil. I ' a. MUlRe A good sport, a real friend, and a won- derful pal is our Midge. She is always ready to have a good time, whether it is to crawl through a transom or to prepare a feed. She is one of the smallest, yet one of the most energetic students on the hill. When she stands in the room among the pupils of the Junior High School, we will wonder which is the teacher. We won ' t need to wonder very long, because we can tell that she is the teacher by her digiu- fied expression. Of talent, too. NDdge has her share. Will you ever forget her as Connie in the Middler Play, The New Poor? She took the part of a sedate young lady, but she did not need to exaggerate her lines for she really is that sedate young lady. Midge should know her French, as she was a member of the French classes and Club for the three years that she spent at B. S. T. C. We wonder why Midge wants to go to the Wild Wooly We st to teach? Well, anyhow, she is a student with abil- ity, and is very successful in all her un- dertakings. We feel certain that her fu- ture will be full of luck and happiness. MELVA KATHRYN KILE Bloomsburg High School Bloonisburg. Pa. Babe Melva is one of our quiet little lasses from Bloomsburg. Yes. she lives in Blooms- burg. although you find her in Benton for every vacation. Never fear. Babe. we like Benton, even though we are not quite as much interested in the consolidated schools in Sugarloaf as you are. Melva has taken the rural course with the hope of teaching in a consolidated school. But. no matter which course she would have chosen, success is bound to be hers. She is not sitting down waiting for the opportunity to come to her: she is up and doing, active in every way which tends toward success. Melva is a good sport, full of fun and pep. and with the biggest heart you could imagine. But is that all? Ah. no. she possesses that fine quality known as tact- fulness. Melva knows what to say and when to say it — an asset for any person. There is an old saying that nobody loves a fat man. Of course we hate to contra- dict — but how about it. Babe? Friends are available on every hand, but for a tried and true friend, and every day and all-the-way friend — Melva always proves true.   106 t I J I H 1 iJ MJ uM wlw bM O ii I ' rt ii . BEATRICE KILLIAX Sliickshinny Hisli School SliUksliinny. Pa. Bee Blue eyes, brown hair. Gentle ways, many a care. A happy smile full of fun, A girl who Is loved by everyone. Beatrice Is one of the quiet, shy type; so It took us a long time to get acquainted with her, but when we did get to know her, we found in her a true friend. Bea- trice is a faithful worker and is always willing to do her part. She is patient, op- timistic and calm. Beatrice always liked school, and so we think she has taken up the right profes- sion. However, how long she will be in- terested in this profession is a question, for she is a good cook and housekeeper, Beatrice is fond of sports: she is clever in all. Although she has played basket- ball, volley ball, hockey and baseball, the latter is her favorite. After her sojourn here we hope she will be as well liked elsewhere. DORIS KIMBLE Forty Fort Hisli School Forty Fort, Pa, Dot There are a great many Dots in this world and one would quite naturally expect them to have something in conimon, but here is a girl who is quite different. Lack- ing an original expression, one might say. To know her is to love her. A first look at her photograph gives one the impression that she is a very demtire and sedate young lady, but upon closer examination, one notices that her eyes cause a change of opinion. They reveal her charming personality. Is she a good teacher? Of course! Why should say. If there ' s anything going on (including feeds ), she ' s right there, es- pecially if it ' s a dance, for she loves to dance. She hasn ' t missed more than one or two dances during her school career and she wouldn ' t have missed those if Phila- delphia were just a bit nearer. Is she a good teacher? Of course! Why her cherubs love her! That doesn ' t make a good teacher? No, but co-operation makes a good foundation for any class- room and Miss Kimble gets co-operation from her pupils along with good scholastic results. She is too active a member of her sorority, the Alpha Delta Zeta and her other activi- ties to enumerate them here, so the reader will Just have to think of her as an all- round girl. In parting, we want to say to Dot — When you ' ve roamed the highways and byways of life. And learned the care, the struggle and strife. Lean back in your chair when age takes you in, And think of the times when we were classmates and friends. J.1 I I J. 1 I . i. A i t r a ' M i ' ' ' ■ ■■ ■ ' I 1 fc I I I i AJuAJi RACHEL M.

While looking at this picture, one would imagine Ray to be a quiet sedate girl, but this is not true. When you know Ray. she is jolly and full of fun. When- ever there are gatherings and parties, you may be sure that Ray is there entertain- ing the girls with her wise cracks. Just try to get Ray talking in her sleep — well, you ' ll know the rest. We often won- der why Ray makes the blunder of say- ing Ken instead of can. Who is will- ing to tell? But do fun and pleasure keep Ray from studying? Indeed not! She knows there is a time for each. If you entered her room during study hours .you would find her studying her Geography and Sociology — her most difficult subjects. If you are looking for a good basketball player. Just call on Ray. for she is the one who Ken help you win a game. Even though Ray is small, she is very quick and active in athletics. Speaking of extra-curricular activities, she deserves mention here, for she is an active member of the Current Literature. First Aid and U Know Clubs. Well. Ray. here ' s wishing you success in whatever you undertake. MARJORIE KLEIN llughestowii High School Pittston. Pa. .Marse Marjorie is a blonde. Her eyes are greyish blue. She is very tall. Towering over you. To be with Marge is to be with a Live- wire. Her personality is unresistable. She has many friends and keeps making more. Ask her about Bill, and she blushes: ask her about Chubby. she smiles, but ask her about the High School chap, she jumps a mile. Marge works as well as she plays. She was the captain of the Junior team, playing center and getting the tap most of the time. She was a member of the Athletic Leaders ' Association because of her high standing in classes. She sang soprano in the Glee Club, making it resound with greater volume. And she does her own sew- ing with the help of the Sewing Club. Her chief diversions are strumming the uke, having others sing with her, danc- ing in the gym with Al as her partner. I she can lead ! ) , writing letters to her many friends, and having feeds with lots to eat. Oh. how she can eat! Marge is also a member of the Mu Phi Sigma Sorority. She received her numerals and B for participation in sports of all kinds. Her refereeing wins praise and ad- miration from her instructors. Marge is an all around American type of girl. She possesses all the qualities, sportsmanship, a democratic spirit, loyalty and honor, with true devotion to her Alma Mater. We wish her success in her teaching ca- reer. 108 t IXUd III .jib .

And a letter to Ichabod must surely go. There you have the first glimpse of our Rene. Busy? All the time. Say. Cal himself had nothing on her. There is an old adage stating that when you want some- thing done, go to the busy man. We have found a true advocate of this saying in Irene. She is always on the spot to do her share and a little bit more. As for her teaching, we have no fears that she has erred in choosing her profession. There is no doubt about it — Rene certain- ly wont have any trouble in disciplining her pupils, and for some reason, they always put forth their best efforts. Her stlck-to-it-ive-ness is well appreci- ated by the Y. W. C. A., Glee Club, Phi Lambda, and Mu Phi Sigma Sorority. Rene ' s work in all these activities is liighly commendable. Irene has the pep and ability that make for a good all around sport. We can truly .say about her. She is a jack of all trades. We always found her ready to take part in all athletics. She is an able basketball and volley ball player, and always brought home the marks of a collision. Our parting words to you are May hap- piness tune Life ' s Harp anew, and strike its sweetest chords for you. MARY KOTALICK .Ashley HiKh School .A.shley. Pa. Mar.v There is a little version. That men do not prefer a brunette. And Mary a blonde that can prove that assertion Makes us think that the men are correct. This maiden came to us with the rush that entered here two years ago. She was just one of those good natured girls who would give you anything that she had. Mary is always ready for a good time. She can enjoy all kinds of fun, but when seri- ous business is at hand, she can lead all of us. She is very studious, but she found time aside from her studies to cultivate her social nature among her classmates. When it comes to a feed. Mary is sel- dom absent. Whenever you see her. her greatest cry is, Oh. how hungry I am! Mary has chosen teaching in the primary group as her vocation, and she is well cap- able of filling this position. At the musical art courses. Mary may be seen sitting in the first row in the balcony, a keen listener. While after dinner she enjoys dancing to the strum of a uke or music from her victrola. Mary belongs to the Children ' s Literature Club and the First Aid Club. She expects to teach, but how long, we do not know. We agree, in general student life, she was one of the most willing work- ers. We, the members of your class, ex- tend our best wishes for success in your chosen work. 109 ll 1 i JJJ.iJii ii l.  JUwlwli '  0 « ' ' ■ ' i fc i M yyM CELIA M. KRZYZANSKI NaiitMokf Hiftti School Naiiticoke. I ' a. Sish With the reputation of being an all around student and worker, Celia made her debut as a Junior. Her pleasing attitude and willingness to help others soon gained her a place of esteem among her classmates. No matter how or what anyone wanted, she was ready to do all she could. Sports seem to be of a great interest to Celia. especially basketball. Even now, while teaching in Berwick, she finds time to participate in her favorite game. Al- though sports are attractive, her uppermost thought at the present time is teaching. Teaching at Berwick did not appeal to her at first but now she can ' t be moved. We wonder if it ' s the teaching or the Ber- wick life which she prefers. We ' ll soon find out when she comes back at the end of the semester. The Nanticoke Club needs Celia to uphold the old Alma Mater. Together with the rest of the people from Nanticoke. Celia is ready for action any time or any place. But Celia came here to be trained in the teaching profession. We wish you heaps of success in future work of placing little people on the road which leads to fame and happiness. Judging by her grades she has succeed- ed very well. At all times during her train- ing her motto was — Thoughtful effort brings the best results. EDNA ANNA Kl LICK Hazle Township High .School Kelayres, I ' a. Ed A wonderful girl, a true friend, a good .sport — this is Ed. Whenever you meet her Ed always has a winning smile, is al- ways ready for fun and ready to eat. Her cheery smile always lights up her face which is framed by exceptionally beautiful blonde curls. Ed always pops into first class shortly after the last bell rings, then she looks around so innocently and smiles her engag- ing, happy, smile which makes us forgive her immediately. Men aren ' t a topic that Ed discusses very often, but we wonder from whom she gets all those letters. Judging fronr the way her face brightens up when the mail comes in. we cannot help but wonder. Her favorite pastime is writing letters. She has chosen teacliing as her profes- sion — and is said to be a shy maid, but beware!- — those eyes were not made to ad- mire women or win the confidence of chil- dren. Concerts, lectures and social functions always find Ed present. She is devoted- ly loyal to B. S. T. C. Ed played second violin in the orches- tra. She intends to teach in the schools of Pennsylvania, but we are not sure as to whether she will carry out these plans, because she has a musical inclination. We wish her heaps of luck and success. 110 t Ix jJ Jm Jmi mymi - - ■ - MARGUERITE LA BAR Central Hish Scliool .Scranton, Pa. •Peg Peg is a scintillating satellite from the Electric City Club. She has three pet hobbies — dancing, dancing, and more danc- ing. Peg ' s pet theme for discussion is that time worn one of whether or not all school teachers get old-maidish. We always no- tice a determined look in her eye as she elucidates in the negative. Perhaps she ' ll be a pioneer for the cause. Of course, what she ' s made up her mind to be is Just no- body ' s business. But we have an idea that we know. Peg ' s a good sport and she adores a good time. She never allows sleep to inter- fere with it. We wouldn ' t be surprised if some day she takes up extension work in Bucknell. The courses offered there are both broadening and interesting. But we must give Peg her dues. Living down town has its disadvantages, but we ' ve never known Peg to be late for a class. Such promptness is uncanny. Casting aside all the incriminating evi- dence that we ' ve given, we find that Peg has that almost forgotten quality — a forgiv- ing nature. And we do appreciate her and wish her success and happiness. We are sure that her happy disposition will bring Joy to those who come into contact with her, and her intense love lor hard work will make her a good teacher. MARTHA ANNA LAIRD Picture Koiks High School Picture Rocks, Pa. Marts Martha is one of our anibltious and studious Seniors from Picture Rocks. She came here three years ago and elected the Junior High School Course. She is not only interested in her class work but is very active in extra-curricular activities. We find lier in the Science Club, Y. W. C. A.. Phi Lambda, Clothing Club. Debating Club, and Campfire Girls, all of which have profited by her membership. Marts is also very active in church work and the Lutheran church will lose one of its staunch supporters when Martha gradu- ates in June. She is Editor of tlie Young People ' s Messenger of that church. She is also the proud possessor of that much cov- eted athletic letter, won in her Middler year. She has specialized in English, Latin and Social Studies. Both she and Mary have shown great talent in Latin. We know Martha will be a great success as a teacher for she has proved that in her Student Teaching. She knows how to han- dle children. Martha is always successful in everything she undertakes. She is a real leader. She is always ready to lend a helping hand. We are expecting great things, Mairtha, and we wish you as much and more success in the teaching profession than you had in your school life. r .J m mk ' i it i ii I t J dbJUJi MARY LAIRD Picture Rtxks High Silmol Picture Koclis, Pa. Lairdy Yes! She ' s tiie one with the glasses. What would we do if Martha wore them, too. Mary believes in doing a lot of different things as well as getting good grades (she was an honor student for three years). She is ( or has been ) a member of the Y. W. C. A., Debating Club, Dining Room Club. Hostess Club. Campflre Girls. Phi Lambda, and now a member of the class song com- mittee. She helps out at the church, too: she and her sister are the editors of the little weekly Lutheran Young Peoples ' Mes- senger. People who say that Science and Relig- ion can ' t mix simply don ' t know Mary. For in spite of her staunch support of the church, she is specializing in science, and her first interest is science, her second science, and her third SCIENCE. Mary wants to teach Biology in a high school somewhere next year. She would succeed for she is one of those rare A teachers. How do we know that we won ' t see her in the Science Office here as the head of the department. PHILLIS LANGFORD Mest Pittston High School West Pittston. Pa. •Phil She can draw; she can sing; What Phil can do is everything. West Pittston sent us this tall, quiet re- served girl. But as the saying goes. Ap- pearances are sometimes deceiving. so have we been deceived, for we ' ve found that Phil is one of the loveliest girls in the dorm. To hear her laugh is to make you laugh, but don ' t get excited if you hear her say — Oh! I can ' t stop — because we have found out she can. if given time. Phil has won the hearts of many of us by her sweet ways and most engaging smile. Have you ever seen that smile? Then you ' ve missed a great deal. Phil is always in a hurry and she al- ways has her inevitable excuse. I ' ve places to go. and things to do. We hope you get to all your places and do all your things. Phil. Poetry! ! Now you ' re talking. Give Phil a book of modern verse and you ' ll find you have put her in Seventh Heaven. We are sorry no one seems to understand Phil, at least she is always telling us. Oh. you don ' t understand me. Maybe we do, Phil. Phyllis is a good student and strives to please her teachers in which she invariably succeeds. When lessons pile up like a huge Ogre. Phil tackles him and conquers him before she ' ll play — but then; don ' t we have fun? ? Phyllis is an active member of the Y cabinet and a member of the Alpha Delta Sorority. The Mixed Chorus also claims her. She has a way. she has a will. We know success will come to ' Phil ' . I m .ta iUUwIwb M II ROLAND LAVELLE Dover High School. Dover Delaware Scranton. l a. Lava Lavelle Last year just as the examinations for the first semester were over and everyone was breathing a sigh of relief a few young men came here to join us for the following semester and among this bunch we found Lavelle. Although getting a later start than the rest of us he pitched right in and made the best of it. Lavelle ' hails now from the town of Scranton. He was graduated from the Dov- er High School. Dover, Delaware. He is a man very much interested in getting the best education as he does the best of every- thing else. After attending summer school he came back and proceeded to be a Prof. by teaching the sixth grade in the Training School. As his greatest literary achieve- ment we must not forget he was a member of the editorial staff of the Maroon and Gold. Last spring when the sun started to warm things. Coach Booth sent in an S. O. S. for baseball players and Lavelle was among the bunch that responded. He was picked to hold down the position of third base on the reserve team — where he showed his abil- ity as a baseball player and we are looking forward to the spring season when we shall see him again in his uniform stopping the fast ones as they come. Go to It. Lavelle. the best of luck be with you in the school of life. ALICE A. LAW Kingston High school Kingston, Pa. Al The blackest hair, the bluest eyes, and the reddest cheeks are a few of tlie remarks that are heard about Alice when folks first meet her. She possesses a beautiful face, but that is not all for only those who know her can tell you of her generous dis- position. She is a good sport and always rtlling to please. Whatever the activity may be, Alice is always ready to do her part. In athletics she excels; tennis and basketball being her favorite sports. Although Alice is always ready for fun, she is also a good student and never ne- glects her work. She is blessed with a personality that is pleasing to all. and that has won many friends for her at Bloomsburg State Teach- ers College. Alice has been active in all social affairs and has also been an active participant in many of the extra-curricular activities of the school. She was a member of the Book Club and the Children ' s Literature Club, in both of which she took a great interest. ■We surely wish her success in everything that she may undertake after leaving this institution. t 1 I I , i I I .

This joke was played on so many girls on a certain floor in the dorm that an investigation was necessary. Need- less to say. evidence pointed to fun-loving Winnie as the instigator of those cat- calls. Our Winnie is full of pep and life and always read y for a good time. Her loving disposition and kind-heartedness are just a part of her charming personality. Win- nie has the rare gift of attracting and re- taining friends. Her large number of ad- mirers and friends are a Justification of this statement. Some of Winnie ' s favorite sayings are: Oh. you ' re funny ; Come down to the house : Get out : What ' s that — why that ' s nothing : You kids make me tired. Each of these is characteristic of Winnie. particularly the first one. Don ' t get in an argument with her or she will make you believe you are funny. Can Winnie play basketball? Well, you guess. She has ability at playing on the tossing end. which would be welcomed on any team. She also plays tennis, baseball, hockey, and is, in general, an all-round ath- lete. Here, as In other fields, her good na- ture and sportsmanship are outstanding. Your classmates and the gang wish you success and happiness, Winnie. I SARAH LAWSON Slienanrtoiih, Pa. Sally Small and sweet And very neat. From the top of her head To the soles of her feet. This precise little maid comes to us from the wilds of Shenandoah. She is a sport in every sense of the word: always ready for a good time but equally ready to share the burdens heaped upon her at B. S. T. C. She is a conscientious worker and an ex- cellent student. Sally ' s oustanding characteristic is neat- ness. All who have come in contact with her have keenly felt its influence. Sarah has many other good traits too numerous to mention. In fact, we just couldn ' t think of them all. We who know her will be sorry when the two short years of college life have ended. They have been very happy years, made so by the loyalty and cheerfulness of this petite maid. We hope that the termination of our school days will not take our Sally from us altogether. Where she will locate in her initial posi- tion, is still a doubtful matter. However, she hopes to obtain a position near home. There is a secret attraction, we know but as yet. nothing has led her to disclose it. We wish her the greatest possible suc- cess in all her future undertakings. t ll.. .l.li..i .J IJ ltl. .i l. 4.t . i ,. - a ir HELEN MAE LEIMNGEK Pottsville Hisli i1um)I Pottsville, Pa.

Where is Helen? is echoed and re-echoed throughout the dormitory and on the campus. Aid in English or any- thing else is more than willingly given by Helen. We can depend upon the quality ot this help, for Helen belongs to that gi-oup of students who rank highest in scholar- ship and athletics. Nell. as she is called by her intimate friends, is a born leader. There is always plenty to do when she is around. These doings are always original and usually contain much fun for the participants. One can easily judge, from glancing over the list of school activities, that Helen ' s school life was a busy one. She belonged to the Campflre Girls, of which she was president: Glee Club: Book Club; Phi Lambda: Maroon and Gold Staff: Children ' s Literature Club. She was also on the Class Song Committee, Chairman of the chapel, program, and Captain of the champion bas- ketball team in ' 27. ANNA EVELYN LEWIS Danville Hif;li School Kaska. Pa. .Tinua A student full of tun and pep. Whose ways we all adore. Everybody ' s friend will characterize Anna, for she is ever willing to offer a helping hand. Her jolly and fun-loving nature has endeared her to all who know her. Anna looks to be very angelic, but when you know her. as we have had the pleasure of knowing her. you may change your opinion. She loves to tell jokes and is always ready with a smile for all of her friends. When we are in trouble or feeling blue, we like to go to Anna for she is always in a good hunror. School work doesn ' t seem to worry her — but then, why should it? She is very bright and has no trouble in getting her lessons. Anna ' s chief hobby is going to bed prompt- ly at 10:15 P. M. If she were the only one in the room, the Proctors would have little to do, but as it is — well, we guess it would be better if we were to let her tell you her- self, what she thinks of those who believe in burning the midnight oil, especially when others are trying to sleep. Anna doesn ' t know where she will make her debut as a school marm, but hopes it will be near her home. We wonder what the attraction is — not a man. for she de- clares she is going to earn an O. M. degree in her chosen profession. Your ambition may be realized, but we have our doubts. ■iili-L.Li .j.j..ii Aj 1 i I ...i ... --- i r i j i r rrr V.

Louie soon proved herself to be an all- round girl. When lessons were finished she was always ready for fun. Many a goal she has made in a basket- ball game, and we can always rely on her to get a healthy crack at the puck on the hockey field. She is also a well-knowm figure on the tennis courts, at which game she can hold her own with the best of us. Louie, in her Junior year, was a faith- ful member of the Freshman Glee Club, and this year she was a hearty supporter of the Mixed Chorus. Sometimes we wonder if Louie should be a school marm. We know that her capacity for letter WTiting is not less than at least six per day. However, we are con- fident that her teaching ability will assure success. MARGARET L.

Judging from all appearances one would say that Peg is a quiet, shy girl, btit she is far from that. You can ' t always judge a book by its cover. Looks are certainly deceiving at times! One peach of a girl, always ready for a good time and always on the job is Peg. if you ever want anything done and done well don ' t be afraid to ask her. Peg is one of the industrious students who places her work before play. But when it is done, she is ready for any fun. Her motto is — go to every school function and be happy. She has selected the Junior High Group, specializing in Mathematics. We now be- lieve that Peg will soon take opportunity to further her education and receive her degree. What would these clubs do without her? For she is an active member of the Mu Phi Sigma Sorority, Mixed Chorus, and the EHectric City Club. We feel that Peg will be successful be- cause she is so industrious. We wish we had more teachers like her.

Dahlia Gliviiiia No print can do justice to Virginia for to appreciate her one must know lier. Slie stands out among her classmates as a dis- tinct personality that no amount of praise can change. She has a jolly sense of humor. a willingness for a good time, and a de- sire for further learning. Who wouldn ' t call her a good sport? Although Virginia, like all moi-tals. has her weaknesses, she has one talent, which is outstanding — art. Her appreciation of beauty in art proved valuable to her in her student teaching, particularly in Ber- wick. Virginia ' s love for art. for every- thing beautiful will surely mean much to her and to her associates wherever she will be. Virginia ' s conversations on religion and marriage show us that her ' s are unusual Ideas and ideals — most peculiar — especially in this day and age. As a member of the Art Club. Virginia had the opportunity f or expressing what she knows and loves in art. Proof of her artistic ability is that she was class car- toonist at Central.

We ' ll say she has. Studies first, pleasures afterward. has been one of Time ' s mottoes. Of course, we don ' t blame her if she decides to discard it occasionally. If it were not for Tillie what would become of the third floor annex? She IS one of the best fun centers to be found in the college. If Tillie isn ' t laugh- ing, something must be wTong. That Is what makes her such a popular member of the B. B. A. and the U. N. I. Clubs. She is also very fond of siiiging and enjoys her membership in the Mixed Chorus. Are you looking for a basketball player? Hunt for Tillie. You won ' t need to hunt far because she is right there for a game of basketball. You see. she is keeping up the reputation which she established in NewTJort High. Sports of all kinds have been her favorite methods of recreation. She has found a warm spot in the hearts of her many friends. Those who have never known her can not realize what a good friend and comrade they have missed. Judging by her perseverance in her stu- dies we know that she will be successful in whatever she may be engaged. The best of luck to you always, Tillie. ■ ' ' V ' i ' ' ' - - ' ' • ' - f r ' i-i I I J J ■ ESTHER M. LLOYD Thoinpsoii Ili li Scliool Starnuca, I a. Esther Esther graduated from the Junior High School course in 1926. The following year she taught Mathematics and English in an eighth grade. Being vei-y ambitious she came back this year for her degree. During her four years at B. S. T. C. Esther has acquired many friends by her pleasant personality and willingness to help anyone who might need it. To look at Esther one would think she was quiet but when you know her, Oh. my! She does not spend all her time study- ing, but finds time for many other activi- ties. She is a member of the Mixed Chorus, and has always been faithful to the Y. W. C. A. The Mu Phi Sigma Sorority was very glad to welcome Esther back again, as she is one of the charter members. Above all Esther is a good student and her work ranks with that of the best. Esther ' s ambition is to teach Math in high school, and we wish her success and happiness in her line of work. K.VCHEL LONG Millliiibiirs HiRh School .Mifflinburg. Pa. Ray This young lady came to us with that group that entered here in our Freshman year. She is one of those good-natured girls who would do anything for a friend. As a result of her fine personality and sac- rifice she has made many friends whose companionships have made her life enjoy- able. Like all girls, she enjoys playing tricks on her schoolmates and it was the wisdom of these pranks that first made us sit up and take notice. She is a real student and distributes her time properly in applying herself to her tasks. She is very often seen in the li- brary busily engaged in selecting material for the following day ' s classes. As a student teacher she has made con- siderable progress as our observation and a review of her records have shown. Her attitude toward her work and her natural interest in the profession tend to make her an ideal teacher. Our love for her has been increased, if that is possible, by the many little favors she obliged us by doing. Judging by her application to her studies here we predict that in a few years this young lady will be one of the foremost educators. k 1 i i X i 1 dJ.l.ll WII, , 1 1 ' «  « - ANNA GERTRUDE LYNCH Plymouth Hi.sli School Plymouth. Pa. Aiine Nance Don ' t worry. A hundred years from now you ' ll not know what it ' s all about. The winds that blew away the last semes- ter blew to us a person of outstanding qualities pictured above. Seeing Anne strolling through Long Hall with her bookbag in hand, galoshes under arms, and a stern expression on her face, one would not suspect her of being a very jolly companion, but to play pinochle opposite her. is to know her. That stern expression serves only as a mask to a most pleasant personality. One winning smile. a sparkle of those dashing eyes and Anne has established herself in our hearts. Anne is a lover of nature, and is quite fond of outdoor activities, especially hiking during snow storms. The Campfire Girls recognizing this hobby, made her a mem- ber of their camp. On camping trips, Anne likes her coffee but prefers T. Anne is not a novice at school-ma ' am- ing: she has had some previous teaching experience and it is our regret that she had not been with us always. Anne ' s favorite literary piece: The thing in life that ' s most worth while. That costs the least; that does the most. Is just a pleasant smile. M. EILLEEN MADDEN Lenisljuri; Hish School Lewisburg. Pa. Leany This dark-haired, brown-eyed maiden is full of tricks as well as school spirit. In the fine art of laughing, she reigns supreme. Her laugh is contagious. Last year, this gay person allowed her melodious voice to be heard above the noise and tumult of the dormitory. However, the sound was not wholly unpleasant, for those who have heard her. will willingly vouch for that statement. She has an exceptionally fine voice. We have heard her sing on numer- ous occasions, such as the Y. W. C. A. meet- ings and the Sunday Eh-euing Musicales. Like the majority of girls here. Leany likes to eat and sleep, but music, dancing and reading are her chief hobbies and she indulges in these quite frequently. Eilleen certainly understands the tech- nique of basketball. Her participation in this game, and her skill in it. have caused many an observer to remark about her fine playing. Eilleen ' s bit of practice teaching has proved her capability as a teacher. We feel safe in predicting her as a success in her chosen profession. f liii.LAi..L ...ixui...ii... .... .... y i j J J I ' ' ii f i rr i II CLELIA A.

Clel seems to be quiet, but appear- ances are often deceptive. Whenever there is a meeting of Our Gang. her voice and laughter can be heard floating gayly from her room. Although Clel didn ' t join us until February, it didn ' t take us long to dis- cover her merits. We ' re all agreed she has them. When school opened this fall. Clel was not seen around the campus. Why? She was in Berwick guiding the young Berwick- ians. Rumor has it. and so have her kid- dies, that Clel ' proved to be a dandy teacher. Did you ever see Clel cross? No neither did we. Her good nature and pleasing per- sonality prevail at all times. She is a true sport and always ready for fun. The Gang is wondering what would happen if dels boxes failed us every week. We must not forget Clel ' s love for danc- ing. Almost any night you can see her trip- ping around the gj ' m floor to the strains of her favorite songs, Miss Annabelle Lee and My Blue Heaven. Clel hails from The Electric City and we all know she is very proud of it. Dame Fortune predicts that Clel will teach for a while but not long enough to acqture that school marmmy attitude. Wishing you the best of luck and success. COLLETTA MAYAN Bloomr-burg High School Bloom. ' burg, Pa. Colett Here we have one of the smiling girls from the Locker Room. Colett is jolly and talkative. She is always bright and happy, and her mood is contagious. One cannot be in her company long without feeling as she does. She is a pal of all the girls and is a typical good sport. She pos- sesses an extraordinary personality. We boast of the fact that we have never heard her utter a cross word. Such a reputation must surely be deserved! Colett applies all the rules of good studying when she prepares her lessons. She has the rare quality known as stick- to-it-iveness. CoUetta had a varied interest while at school. She divided her time between bas- ketball, volley ball, hockey. Sewing Club and Mixed Chorus. Her ability and con- scientiousness probably won her a place in all these activities. Her success in the future is unquestionable. Perhaps the quotation. A smile brings sunshine on a cloudy day. will help to sum up the character of Colletta. 120 Ill .lJ.±i_J_J J J J.

She is full of fun and one is sure to have a good time and many a good laugh when with her. She can always be very serious when the right time comes. Study? . . Jo is generally ready to help others get theirs out. too. She is studious and still has time for fun. She is one of the fortunate girls who had nine weeks of her practice teaching at Ber- wick. While there her acquaintances were many. Jo hails from Sugar Notch: she travels with the Sugar Notch crowd. Of course, they usually have fine times and when they do. jo can be always found with them. Probably their good times account for the fact that none of them get too thin while at Bloomsburg. Every one who knows Jo knows of her athletic ability. In basketball she is a whiz, and if one asks her how she does it. she modestly says that it just comes nat- urally to her. We have not learned for sure exactly what Jo expects to do after she leaves school, but we think she expects to teach the cherubs of the intermediate grades. since she has chosen those grades in which to specialize. Best o ' luck. Jo, is extended to you in your future career. DOROTHY E. McCOLLUM SliaiiKikiii Higli School Shainokin. I ' a. Dot I)( tt Dot is a true pal and a real good sport. She is always willing and always ready to do or go anywhere one suggests. She has those laughing browni eyes that attract everyone, and a more pleasing per- sonality one could not ask for. Dot has taken a very deep interest in the welfare of a certain party at Lehigh. We wonder who it can be. Ask Dot. she knows. Do not think that she is not studious for she ranks very high in her studies. Who could think of the quartette and not Dot? She is also an active member of the Y. W. C. A. and is president of the Girls ' Glee Club. If you are feeling blue and downhearted Just go in and visit Dotty. She will have something to say to you which will make you forget your cares and woes. Did someone mention Delta Phi Sigma? Why yes. Dot is a faithful member serv- ing in the capacity of treasurer of that sorority. Judging from the number of special de- liveries Dot receives, we feel sure that she must be missing someone back home. We feel sure that Dot will win the hearts of her pupils just as she has won the hearts of her many friends at school. t: H.f ' ' • ' • ' ' ' ' ' ' ' • ' • ' i ' r A _i r_i ri iWi MARGARET JANE McCOMBS .Sunbuiy Hisli Sthool Siinburv.

She is also a member of the Dramatic Club, the Mixed Chorus and the Y. W. C. A. She has spent a great deal of her time, this past year. in the library of the school, where we have learned to appreciate her efficient aid. She has specialized in English and So- cial Studies and has been greatly inter- ested in the art work of the school. We know Charlotte will be a great suc- cess as a teacher because of her charm and winning personality. She has already proved herself a very capable leader of youth.

Pa. •Hook Some two years ago there journeyed from Plains a diminutive, blue-eyed youth bear- ing the cognomen. Hook, His pleasing personality and ready unt soon made him popular, both with the occupants of Jose- phine Dormitory and those of North Hall. Possessing a carefree, but determined manner, he soon proved his ability as a scholar. In his first year he was the au- thor of a comic composition. The Tom- cat Quartet. which created much interest. Upon the organization of the Maroon and Gold staff. Hook was selected as the hu- morist. Hook ' s Lines are the result of his Journalistic endeavors. Who has not read and enjoyed these humorous morsels. We are certain that they are the life of the publication. The energetic spirit within this man could not be satisfied with the limited number of activities presented, so he organ- ized the Red Man ' s Club. which was short lived but enjoyed a wide-spread publicity. As an athlete, Hook centered his at- tention on football. For the past two years he rendered the coach and College valuable service as a quarterback. Handicapped by a miniature stature, he more than made up for it by his speed, courage, and determi- nation. On numerous occasions he tore through opposing lines that were impenetra- ble by the other larger and heavier backs, We will miss Hook ' s good-natured man- ner, and bid good-bye to him. a conscienti- ous student and a good fellow. HELEN McGUIRE Central High School JScranton. Pa. Mac Mac! Is another word needed to de- scribe her? Five feet three, slim, black boyish bob. and an ever-ready smile! Mac stands for everything that is worth-while in school life. She is right there when it comes to anything scholastic, social, or ath- letic. In the last, she is the undisputed star of the school. She is our basketball chan p. and on the tennis courts she has led many a male opponent to a stiff con- test. She is one of those rare girls who considers sports more important than be- ing beautiful. Mac is not so serious as this picture would make you believe. In fact, she is just the opposite. She can always find something to laugh about and. she is al- ways ready to hear a good joke. Mac is a girl who never neglects her studies. To her. books come first and then a good time. She is industrious — very much so. but she al- ways knows w-hen it is time for play. Because of her possession of a strange personality and her high idea of success, she was chosen a member of the Delta Phi Sigma Sorority, Here her active participa- tion and interest led her to the office of secretary. We heard of good sports. but we never really had a clear Impression of what that meant until Mac revealed it to us — in her person. We wish the best of luck, happiness, and content to a mighty good sport. i ' ' ' 1 ' ' ' ' r r I ' ' • ' 1 I • j _• J J J A t i V i i ( ARTHUR Mclaughlin INliiiiiig and Meciiaiiical Institute Oakdale, I ' a. Pat Pat, two or three years ago. In search of teacher training, quietly slipped into Bloomsburg State Teachers College, almost witliout being seen. However, he soon won a place in our hearts with his unaffected air and genial personality. Graduating from a boy ' s prep school, he had been deprived of the privilege of mingling with the fair co-eds. Realizing that he must make up for lost time. Pat immediately after his entrance, repaired to the domicile of the women. Before many weeks had passed we were aware that we had a Beau Brummel in our midst. When the call for basketball was sound- ed he was among the first to respond. As a forward of the Junior Varsity, Pat caused the guards of the opposing teams plenty of trouble. His eagle eye was never lacking and thanks to him the Junior Varsity came through many tight gam.es with colors flying. Arthur ' s ambition and energy were rec- ognized by the Omega Chi Fraternity when he was pledged and later unanimously elect- ed to become a member of the Iota Chap- ter of the above mentioned organization. As President of the Dining Room Club he did much to place it in a prominent place In College circles. To our friend and classmate we wish the greatest possible success and happiness. BENJA.MIN MILLER ISIdonisliiir}; High Scliool Catawlssa, Pa. Ben This young man came to Bloomsburg as a diamond in the rough with the group that entered in our Freshman year. He is the type of fellow that would make almost any sacrifice for a friend. His fine per- sonality soon made him one of the few really popular men in our class. His good- natured manner has made for him many friends whose companionships have made his college life a pleasant one. Like all wide awake fellows he enjoys playing tricks on his schoolmates and it was the wisdom of these pranks that first made us sit up and take notice. He is a real student and distributes his time properly in applying himself to his school work. He is very often seen in the library busily engaged in selecting ma- terial for future classes. As a student teacher he has made con- siderable progress as our observations and a review of his records have shown. His attitude toward the work and his natural interest in the profession indicates that he will make an ideal teacher. Our respect and admiration for him has been increased, if that is possible, by the many seemingly insignificant favors he has done for us. Judging by his application to his studies while at Bloomsburg we predict that in a few years time we will find Ben well on his way to the leadership of the educa- tional movement. tir — .i MMfcait M wlwbMi A i?i An- - - -- .

Jew Boy In the fall of 1925 there descended up- on this institution of learning a black- haired, blue-eyed youth from the metropo- lis of Pond Hill. He. immediately, through his charming ways, made himself conspicu- ous among the inmates of North Hall. Tliat he had a wonderful tenor voice was soon learned and this later found for him a place in all the minstrels produced under the auspices of the boys of North Hall. Jew Boy soon showed his talents as an actor when a candidate for the Middler Play. He was selected as one of the characters. That he filled the role with great ability was shown by the tremendous success of the play. When candidates were called for the base- ball team of 1926 he secured a position on the Junior Varsity, and owing to his mirac- ulous playing the team came through with victories where, without him. the outcome might have been doubtful. Claude also showed his ability as a mu- sician by being a member of the school orchestra for two years and often enter- taining the students during Chapel exer- cises. We are sure that Jew Boy will meet with tremendous success out in the wide world and we are sure that he will not tread the hard road of life alone. FAYE E.

Faye was a commuter the first year at school, but she decided to partake of the joys of dormitory life in her second year. We grant you that she has attained her purpose, for may it be dancing, hiking, games or hall socials, she is never missing. Her happy smile is especially welcomed at the B. B. a Club. She also assists in mak- ing the evening a success by relating her many experiences and giving humorous se- lections. Faye is a very diligent worker and a very excellent student. She never goes to class unprepared. She is one of the many students of whom Bloomsburg may be proud. One of the mottoes which she faith- fully practices and which she suggests to others is. Early to bed and early to rise makes you healthy, wealthy and wise. That is why we always see her looking happy, cheerful and wise. We often hear her say, Why worry? It never gets you anywhere, and anyway, all things turn out right in the end. Faye is an active member of the Current- Events Club, and she delights in debating the latest news items. With your broad knowledge of little ones, we know that you will lead the children along the desired paths of knowledge.

She posseses a loving and con- genial disposition and her circle of friends becomes wider as the days Increase. We can also add that she Is one of our Min- ute Men — always on the job. Marguerite Is fortunate in having those qualities necessary for a good teacher. Chief among them Is her genuine enthus- iasm in her work, especially in the teaching of mathematics. It is her ambition to spe- cialize in this subject, and we who are familiar with her ability along that line, know that she can do it. Marguerite has all the traits of a good friend; she is dependable, loyal and true. What more could one wish for In a pal? Marguerite also displays capability In athletics. Her fondness for basketball shows Itself In her playing and also In her in- terest in all the games that have been played here at school. Margurlte, your unfailing spirit, com- bined with your numerous virtues, makes your success as a teacher a certainty. LOIS MITCHELL Berwick High School Berwick, Pa. Loie Mitch Lois, more often called Loie, or Mitch is another one of our little girls from Ber- wick. She is quite tall and slender with a wealth of brown hair. You ' d never think Lois would be a school teacher, but. as she says, Variety is the spice of life — and give me lots of it. She ' s very often seen in the dorm where she has a great number of friends. When It comes to men, well, we ' re not in a position to say. but her heart never was any too good and every once in a while it decides to miss a beat or two. However, her motto seems to be. New face — new fancy. It is not for us to criticize, how- ever, for some day when the stage is all set, the church bells will ring, telling us that Lois is to take the vow. This doesn ' t make any difference at the present time. In spite of all this, we know that Lois will make a good teacher, one whom the children will adore. The little tots will never be sorry that Lois chose to work with them because she has that pleasing manner that is so attractive to children. Lois is a member of the Athletic Lead- ers and Mixed Chorus, and she takes an active part in each. The commuters wish you much success in all undertakings. 126 t .L l ' ' - ' 1 ' f ' ' ' ' ' • ' ' ' ' ' ' ' • ' SARA MITTELMAN Kinsston High Stliool Kingston. Pa. Sara You who do not know Sara, cannot real- ize the difficulty of filling even this small space. Only a master could do justice to this person — outwardly smiling and serene, with a carriage of queenliness and a poise to be envied, yet possessing the traits of a true scholar. Sara accumulated friends like bits of steel accumulate on a magnet. They were drawai to her by a personality too winning to be resisted — and they remain true and grow more attached as the number of per- sonal contacts increases. Many sought her assistance and to none did she refuse. How- ever, we do not wonder at that for where the ground is fertile — the products are cer- tain to be plentiful. She is an aesthete in every sense of the word — an appreciative lover of the beau- tiful — for she finds beauty in everything. She is a keen observer of human nature and delights in studying people. We have caught her watching a person for an end- less amount of time. She served in the capacity of Secretary of the Obiter and Corresponding Secretary of the Tau Phi Epsilon Sorority. Her ef- forts in both will not be forgotten so soon. She also participated in the Junior Glee Club and Current Literature Club. Success for Sara is inevitable. LEO E. MOORE Hazel Township High .School Jeansville, Pa. Ned When Leo first came to us we observed a tall, handsome individual, and when we made his acquaintance, we found out that he was the kind of person who would prove to be a friend till the end. He is the type that you can depend on when in need. We knew more about him when he re- ported lor practice on the football field. Leo displayed great ability as a tackle and showed skill at blocking. This was not the oiily sport he was interested in. On our Juriior Varsity basketball squad. Leo. in the center position, played a smooth game at all times. In his Junior year he was selected to take the leading part in the Junior play. ' The Goose Hangs High, and he performed well. Later, Leo was admitted to the Dra- matic Club and became an active member. His worth was proven when he played a leading part in the annual Dramatic Club Play. Ned was also chosen chairman of the Junior Prom and later a member of the Iota Chapter of the Omego Chi Fraternity, where he served as Corresponding Secre- tary for one semester. He also served on the Maroon and Gold staff. Those who knew him can never forget this likeable fellow. Many wonderful days were spent with Ned, and he has our hearty wishes for a successful future. VIOLA MAY MORDAN Htooiiisbiir Hi li School Uloonisburg, Pa. VI Vally Greetings, little maid so shy. Is there sufficient answer to your constant •Why? Viola never asks why : she just always knows the answer to everyone else ' s why. Just ask Mr. Nelson about it, for he knows all about Miss Mordon ' s contributions to a certain health class. Viola never was a Freshman in our eyes! She just happened to mature while we were all Juniors, and when we first saw her. she already was an individual who had attached that highest of all titles to her name — A Senior! The real truth is that Vally taught two years before she ever joined our ranks! Vi is a student — and not an ordinary one. There are two types of students — and you must guess the types for yourself — and, but Vi is both. She is conscienti- ous, fun-loving and possessed of an un- usual amount of patience that only adds savor to her make-up! The most winsome thing about her is her ready smile. Regardless the professor, the time, or the occasion, Viola somehow manages a smile to slip in between the dis- cussion. We don ' t know if it is merely because she is amused at our degree of in- telligence or because she feels the situa- tion needs the association of a smile — but at any rate, it does brighten things up — and thanks. Viola! Vally has the something that will make her win in whatever she decides to undertake. We have enjoyed you as a member of a glorious class. Viola, and it is with a mem- ory of pleasant thoughts of you that we say Farewell! ANNA E. MOKKIS West Pittstoii High School West Mttston. Pa. .Sandy Prom the great metropolis of West Pitts- ton came an ambitious lassie in search of knowledge. After associating with her for a day. she became known to us as Sandy. If you ever want her for anything, she is usually around the third floor annex, or in the library studying? ? ? It has been said that women ' s hair is women ' s beauty. So it goes with Sandy. Her fair tresses have captured many of the opposite sex. but only one of that sex has captured her heart. Besides making herself the most essential element in one certain person ' s life, she has also become very dear to us. Her good sportsmanship won her a place in the Alpha Delta Sorority. The Sorority wouldn ' t know what to do without her as treasurer. Sandy has a pleasing personality, for she has proven to be a fine friend and pal to all of us. Perhaps that is why she makes such a good teacher. But even if her teach- ing is so successful and she says teaching will be her profession, we are positive she will not teach for five years, if Jimmy has his say. Her aims are high and her ideals are at- tached to stars which can be reached by such as she. Here ' s wishing you the best of luck, old Pal. no matter where you chance to roam. |M ri l Ai 1 ' • i ' II ii ' i r ! 1 r r- li JOHN E. . I()RRIS Forty Fort Hish Siliool Forty Fort, Pa. Mulej Jack Although Muley was a quiet chap who came to us from Forty Fort, it did not take him very long to get acquainted with classmates at B. S. T. C. He possesses a winning way among his companions whicli was largely responsible for his popularity. It was a pleasure to know him for he could always supply the hungry gang of North Hall with his fine line of eats and smokes. Jack believed in having his fun any time but he never neglected his class work. He furnished the boys with his mean line of stale jokes whenever he thought they felt blue. Muley, like the rest of the students, belonged to a few organizations. During his first year he was a member of the Geo- graphic Society. He is an active member of the Dramatic Club and has taken quite an interest along that line. He is also a member of the Iota Chapter of the Omega Chi Fraternity and at the beginning of the semester he was elected sergeant-at- arms. Many happy moments were spent in his company and we hope his successes in the future are numerous. CORDELI.V MOVER Plymouth High School Plymouth, Pa.

' ' Mac ' ' Derm ' : It ' s seven o ' clock, are you going to breakfast? In other words. Mary was the alarm clock for the girls of 319. Ask her — she knows. Besides being an alarm clock. Mary is very studious, which makes her very suc- cessful. Success depends on punctuality, and Muralice has plenty of that. Mary is also known for her athletic abil- ity. Many times she was made captain of her team. She belongs to The Electric City Club and has served as secretary. She has also been an active member of the Children ' s Literature Club, in which she has shown her ability at dramatizing stories. Eats! Did someone say something about eats! No cnimbs on the floor, please. Mary. get the dust pan. I wonder what that means? Muralice knows, ask her. On the whole. Mary is a real good sport and here ' s wishing her the best of luck In the future. LjUuijui i. . I j   . ■ ■ ■■ ■ -L -I- II ANNA MISKALOON Blakelv lllsli Scliool PfHkville, Pa. Ann This young lady came to us with the group that entered here in our Freshman year. She is one of those good-natured girls who would do anything for a friend. As a result of her fine personality and sacrifice she has many friends whose com- panionship have made her life enjoyable. Like all girls, she enjoys playing tricks on her schoolmates and it was the clever- ness of these pranks that 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 very often seen in the library busily engaged in selecting material for the following day ' s classes. As a student teacher she has made con- siderable progress as our observations and a review of her records have shown us. Her attitude toward her work and a natural love for children tend to make her the ideal teacher. Otu- love for her has been increased, if that is possible, by the little favors she obliged us by doing. Judging by her application to her studies here we hope to hear of this young lady on the road to success in the near future. ELIZABETH NAGORSKI Newport ToHnshlp Iliijli . ' c•hool ilen Lyon. I a.

Ted Faithfulness, loyalty and service — these are the three watchwords by which Grace enters the hearts of all. Her motto for life is Others. Grace is one of the sweet- est girls of the college, always ready and willing to help us. Her cheerful and fun loving disposition endears her to all. Ted is also popular with the opposite sex, as they have fallen for her, not once, but many times. To verify this statement, ask Ted about a very slippery night in January a year ago. Grace is a lover of nature and out-door life. She enjoys going on early morning hikes. While every one is still asleep, she goes to some spot out in the wilderness where the world is waiting for the sun- rise. We know Grace will be a success as a teacher, or at any other profession. She has already shown her ability in her stu- dent teaching. She is the kind who hitches her wagon to a star, the star of success, then strives with her whole soul to reach that star. Grace is the kind of a friend to be glad about. The kind that wears, but doesn ' t wear out. LUCIA NOLL Mt. C ' armel HiRh School Mt. Carmel, Pa.

Cliilrie Petite, dark-haired and attractive, de- scribes this girl. Does she look as though she were married? Not at all — nevertheless she is. regardless of her appearance. Her friends all know her as a lively, sport-loving, light-hearted girl, with a mind capable of deep tilings and good judgment. Claires loves to talk, and she always has an audience of good listeners who always appreciate her conversation. One can scarcely believe, though, that our once wide-aw-ake. romantic Claire lias become the shy. domesticated wife that we now know, and we are told that she proved a charming hostess when entertaining the student teachers at Berwick. Last year will always be Claire ' s particu- larly fond memory of her school career. H ow she did love to spend her time in the library and gaze at — don ' t think too hard or you will guess who it was. There was another too — a blond, who decided almost simultaneously with Claire, that the best course to pursue was the marital one. Claire showed her athletic and mental ability when she was elected an athletic leader. Good luck to you. Claire, in your new phase of life. JULI.V 15. O ' CONNOR Olyphant Ili,uli .s iiiioL Jessup, Pa. .Jule This interesting young lady has won. through her pleasant disposition, many a heart — both male and female. Jule ' s readi- ness for a good time, her attitude towai-d athletics, her intei-est in society as a whole and her ability as a student, have resulted ill a wide circle of friends. Little by little, we have watched with interest the transformation of a highly- strung nervous Jule. who came to B. S. T. C. in ' 26. to the self-confident Julia of today. We admire her for this change. Although Jule has many hobbies — reading the future, seems to be her chief delight. What does it mean? Then, too, Jule likes basketball. Perhaps we can trace this interest to the captain — captain is not limited to one team. Jule likes to spend her vacations at Buffalo. But can we blame her? No. not when we think of Buffalo University. Jule was a participant in more than one activity during her two years with us. She was a member of the Junior Prom Recep- tion Committee in her Junior year, and active member of the First Aid Club, floor supervisor, and the treasurer of the Phi Gamma Tau Sorority. Jule. we ' re glad that you changed: surely your newly acquired self-confidence is already one step forward to success. 133 ■ M MlMhh M w M « M il i i itd d t lU i i I MARTHA L.

One can never feel blue around Mart for her Jolly, good na- ture and keen sense of humor make one see the funny side — even of exams. When- ever there is a good time to be had she is on the spot, and one can always count on her to do her share to make the affair a success. Mart is very popular among the boys. She likes them all. and they all like her. Peanuts thinks she was never meant to be a school teacher. One of her most noticeable attractions is the pretty dimple in her chin. Never mind. Mart, we all know the little rhyme about that. She very seldom walks up Main Street but what some one of the opposite sex remarks about it. Mart is a member of the Alpha Delta Sorority and an active member of the Campfire Girls. She is also very fond of athletics. Basketball is her main sport. To toot the whistle is her greatest delight. As a teacher she is bound to be success- ful, and although prospects for an extend- ed period as a school teacher are not very bright, still she has our good wishes for that — and what happens after!

WINIFRED OSINCHUK Scraiiton Central High School New York City Winnie The wee girl with blonde hair, light eyes and that school girl complexion we all rave about — and you have Winnie. a living example of the old adage, Still waters run deep. Few people realize what goes on beneath that bob and what that faraway look means. From all appearances she is a quiet and unassuming lass, but if you knew her you would not think so! She is the possessor of a pleasing personality and has endeared herself to many students. Winifred never misses an after-dinner dance. She is one of the best dancers we have at the college. Proof of this is her ability to master all new and difficult steps. She even does Russian folk dancing. If you want a glimpse into the dark, mys- terious futiire, corner Winnie, and she will read your palm. There is a dark- haired man — Oh! Yes! I know who he is! Go on! Oh! ' Winnie, ' I ' m next! You promised to tell mine! At what hour will you curl my hair? She is always in demand. There is no doubt as to her ability as a hair-dresser. Winnie plans to be a school teacher, but she seems quite interested in Home Economics — We know she will be a suc- cess in whatever she undertakes, for she Is a willing worker, a good classmate, a true friend, and a pal. 135 f ' f ■ ' ' ■ ' ' ' ' r ' r f r ' i -| i _Lrj_r ' LILLIAX MAGDALEN OTTAVIOM Newpint T( Hn hii) Hisli Sihool (ileii l.von. Pa. Lillj Lil Applesauce, as she is generally known, hails from Newport, and for some reason or other has always shown that she pre- fers to spend her week-ends there rather than at B. S. T. C. Did you ever see this girl downhearted? Well, I rather think not. Her sunny dis- position is never dampened by a frown. There is one thing that we don ' t quite understand about Lilly, She is very shy when in public but she sure can talk and act her natural self when she is witli the gang, Regardless of what other faults Lilly may possess, she has never been known to enter into an argument except with her room-mate over dish-washing. It is not her nature to desire that the other fellow ac- cept her point of view, and only when she thinks she is right does the argument begin, Lilly is always willing to assist her friends and the gang over the rough places, both in life and in books. To all appearances she is very well qualified for her chosen profession, Lil, with her sunny smile, can be seen as an active member of the Campfire Girls, the Junior Glee Club, the Book Club, and the Mixed Chorus. Good luck. Lil, RUTH OUSLANDER Central High School Soranton, Pa. Oussie As calm as the moonlight. As deep as the sea. A happy creature — That ' s Oussie, Oussie is such a vivacious creature — so interested in life, in people, in places! It is impossible to describe the contagious spirit which envelopes her and extends over to us. Oussie is unusual, for in what average person do we find the combination of sophisticated lady and dashing delight- ful Tom-Boy? It is for us to discover just what makes Oussie what she is. She is impulsive, and we love her for it. Her evident uncon- sciousness of the presence of some hidden power within her, the strength of charac- ter which her face portrays, and the air of purpose about her. which we all admire, tend to make the mystery more compli- cated. Because we cannot unearth the secret of our attraction to her, we have to be content to call her — fascinating. Perhaps Oussie ' s charm lies in her calmness, her self-confidence and her as- surance. The fact that she takes nothing too seriously adds much to her buoyancy and the attraction of a wide group of friends. As president of the Tau Phi Epsilon Sor- ority, Oussie showed her ability as a leader: as Assistant Editor of the Obiter she proved her efficiency in organization. She was also an enthusiastic member of the Speech Arts Club and the French Club, Oussie ' s pleasing way with children and her quiet sympathy and understanding make her success certain. HELEN OWENS HugliesttuMi llij;li School rittstoii, P;i. ■■Of Helen is a tall brunette who comes from Hughestown. If you don ' t know her. you can easily recognize her by her attractive smile. Any one who has met Helen will never regret having formed her friendship. She is a girl possessing a pleasant person- ality and fascinating ways. The Gang will never forget the happy days spent with her in her Junior year in room 375. Helen is an all around athlete and shows plenty of pep. Some of the various ath- letics that she has participated in are bas- ketball, hiking, baseball and hockey. When you are looking for a good sport, call on Helen. O ' ey says that teaching is going to be her life-long profession, but we doubt this statement. We wish Helen all the luck and happi- ness in the world. Can there be any doubt of her success with her pleasant ways and winning smile? DANIEL PARIS Kreeland lIlRh sdiool Freelanil. l a. Count Dan In the fall of ' 25. there came to us a certain young gentleman who was held in high esteem by the boys. and. sad to say, the fair sex. also. We say it was sad. for the reason that the opposite sex flocked around him in numbers, leaving very few girls for the other boys. Although he has It, Daniel did not neglect his education, as his scholastic standing will show. Since Count, as he was popularly known, became affiliated with a fair lass of mediimi height, auburn hair, and oh! what eyes — very little of Dan was seen on the campus. We understand that he is learn- ing the lumber business. Just why the lumber business interests him we do not know. Count participated much in athletics. In the Junior-Senior football game he made a spectacular run for the winning touch- down. He boosted the Junior Varsity bas- ketball team with his clever playing, and he is a wonder at hurdling. Dan took part in the following activi- ties: Boys ' Glee Club. Boys ' Dormitory Club, member of the Junior Prom Commit- tee. Only the best of luck do we extend to you for the future. 137 J« A A WU «N «MM AA iMMtfw litf«4 % M «0 kJ ML HELEN PARRIS Central High Sclwiol Scrantoii, Pa. Helen Blue above, brown under. All the world to Helen is a place of won- der Congenial, sweet and refined is our class- mate, Helen. She is specializing in pri- niary work, and we all know that she will be a success — for she just loves kiddies. She ought to make an excellent teacher, for she will not take silence for an answer. She repeats. Oh, look, isn ' t that be-yu-ti- ful? until she gets an answer, either nega- tive or affirmative. There ' s not a thing dumb about her, though. For instance, we ' ve often been all set to recite in class when Helen stood up and gave the entire lesson, but was it all tip-top? Anyway, she is con- scientious and full of vigor. Oh, yes, she is living in the Alice-in-Wonderland stage. She re-lives every romance she reads. Behold her hair! That burnished crown of glory. Whenever you see Helen with a band on hei head, you can make up your mind she has Just gone through the or- deal of saying, Do you like it on or do you like it off better? Of course we can see why she is so particular about her hair. It is the source of many compliments. Funny isn ' t it, how the heart of our to- mato blonde goes out to that dark Spanish type? Helen is a member of the Electric City Club and of the Mixed Chorus. Helen says that she is always going to teac h, but is she — ????? We wonder. However, where e ' er you go and what e ' er you do, we all wish you a successful career and a happy future. HANNAH PEIFER Slieiiancloah High School Brandonville. Pa. Peif A good sport, a real girl friend, a won- derful pal, always ready to help anyone, de- scribes the personality of our pretty dark haired, dignified, smiling Hannah. Hannah has even more good qualities than these. She is a good student, as her educational achievements show. She is a member of the College Glee Club, the Y. W. C. A. and the Rural Life Club. If you should hear someone strumming the most popular tunes of the day on the uke at 10:30 P. M. you can imagine it is our Han- nah. Hannah just loves to hike and dance. Dancing and reading are her special hob- bies. Hannah never misses one dance. Her chief saying is, It ' s a terrific life — if you don ' t weaken. Blond sheiks are Hannah ' s weakness. Judging from the letters which she receives from Ringtown and the sudden appearance of a snappy looking Ford, we wonder if Hannah will teach very long. However, we wish her the best of luck in whatever she undertakes. 138 ■Mta JUJ,I.IiAi MJ 1 WwIm1m M i I ' t ijlt 11 i ' iP ALICE B. PENNINGTON Millville ili;;li School Millville. Pa. Alic-e At a glance one would judge Alice to be a rather quiet girl, but once acquainted with her. one discovers that in reality she is all that is good-natured and jolly. She possesses a unique personality and her smile radiates charm. When it comes to supporting her class, or any Coll ege activity. Alice ' s ardor never Hags. We all know her as a most con- scientious worker. And typewi ' ite! Any of her second floor neighbors will tell you of the many hours of diligent toil our Alice spent pounding at her portable. They all agree that she ' s some typist. Alice chose the Junior High School field of teaching and we feel confident of her success in her chosen profession. It won ' t be long before Alice will have produced a crowd of budding geniuses in the Junior High School world. Alice proved her capability as director of several fine plays for Dramatic Club. She is also an active member of the Mu Phi Sigma Sorority, of which she is treasurer. We also commend her on her exceptionally good work as typist for the Obiter. We wish you heaps of success, Alice, and may your luck come rolling along. WARREN EDWARD PENNINGTON BloonisburK Hij;h School Bloonisburg, Pa. Penny No one ever saw Penny picking forget- me-nots. They grow not for him. Know him once and you can ' t forget him. Re- member him on the football field, in gym class, strutting down the hall to the audi- torium, singing in chapel, driving home a point in class, driving the Ford down the hill, arguing with his hands to somebody — all pleasant memories. We started to talk about flowers. Penny likes flowers. He often talks and sings about his Wild Irish Rose. This is not a Bloomsburg flower. Sometimes Penny speaks of it as his out of town interest. and we know that he travels down the river. Penny is a well rounded out individual, always suiting himself to the situation. He can talk or not talk. sing, or not sing, eat or not eat, joke or not Joke, and so on. He has a strong weakness for one subject. Start him out on history and try to stop him. He might be an amateur in art and music, but I repeat, start him out on history. This Penny is a valuable coin in any collection, bright, not old but rare, always turning up — at the right time. Pleasant, sensible, and especially hu- man. t juuu i j«i iM J i jWwiwy M .. . tjjjSj . ' . - GRACE PHILLIPS Catawissa IIikIi School C ' atawissa. I ' a. Orace Grace comes to us as a contribution from the great metropolis. Catawlssa. nestled among the hills on the opposite side of the river. Grace is one of those rare, quiet girls. Once you know her, you know her always. When you first become acquainted with Gace you get the impression that she is a very quiet and remote individual, but you need only wait until you become bet- ter acquainted and your Impressions be- come entirely reversed. From all appearances she is quite sub- dued and modest; however, she is the possessor of a pleasing personality, and somewhere has acquired a charm, which acts like a magnet in holding friends. Grace is one of Catawlssa ' s attractive blondes, tall and fair. She has an artistic tempera- ment, and is always ready to laugh at a good Joke, even if the Joke is on her. She is kind and friendly to every one and is always ready to lend a helping hand. As for her favorite expression, Oh, My Earth, is repeated most frequently during a conversation. Perhaps in a dream, or elsewhere she has conceived the idea that part of this earth really does belong to her. Well, we have no doubt she ' s right for she does seem to claim a valuable piece of Berwick. Grace is specializing in the Primary Grades. She is a conscientious worker and is considered a good student even though her favorite pastime is being in the news corner of the library. We hope that Grace may attain the high- est success and happiness in life. MARY JOSEPHINE PHILLIPS Bloonisbin ' K Ilish School Bloomsbiirg. Pa. .■Maine As pleasing and charming as a shady pool on a hot August day — Mary can do almost anything from dramatics to basketball. Such versatility is deserved. Quiet, but always Intent on something and going after it — is Mary. She also thinks that a woman who does her own thinking needs but little advice. In piloting the third graders through their sea of learning, Mary neve ' r loses her poise, and if she continues in the line of school teaching she will be very successful. She is the one to ask whether color will Jibe or not, if our clothes look well, or if we may wear this or that. Mary is the girl to plan decorations and design origi- nal creations. In fact, she is one of our class artists. Mary is an active member of the Dramatic Club and Phi Gamma Tau Sorority. She showed great interest in both and was will- ing to lend assistance whenever it was neces- sary. Here ' s to the girl with dreamy eyes. With coal black hair and a ready smile.

She possesses enough pep and wit to add zest to all our good times and enough common sense to balance her love of fun She IS just the type of girl that no one could refrain from loving. Mildred ' s appreciation for music is un- limited. Probably this love prompted her to join the Glee Club and the Mixed Chorus. Her sweet voice also won for her a place in the Presbyterian Church Choir, and that ' s some honor! Ever since Mildred came to college she has been an officer of the Student Govern- ment Body. The students were not slow in recognizing her ability as a leader. Sincerity is one of Mildred ' s big charac- teristics, both in work and play. She is one of the most industrious girls in the dorm. Going to classes without her les- sons prepared is as far from her thoughts as the East is from the West. Mildred has maintained her excellent high school stand- ing at this institution by being among the top-most members of her class. What kind of teacher will she make Well, her personality proves that no further dis- cussion is necessary on that point. To Mildred we wish heaps of success. K. THRYN PIERCE Picture KiHk Hisli School Picture Kocks, Fa. Kate One of the smiling lassies in Bloomsburg State Teachers College is Kathryn. She is one of those girls whom we are proud to claim as a friend. A sunny, kind disposi- tion, and a smile wins many friends for her. Some thought Kathryn was a very quiet little lady when she came to Bloomsburg. but since then they have changed their minds. Kathryn ' s ready wit and love of fim makes her anything but quiet. Kate is very industrious, and when she starts a thing, one can depend upon its being finished. She believes in a time for work and a time for play. We might predict a future in the field of Art for Kathryn. She can create beautiful pictures wih her paint brush, which gives us one more reason for which to admire her. Kathryn and her clarinet have been an as- set to our school orchestra. We have all appreciated the solos she has played in chapel as well as her part in the orchestra. We are sure Kathryn will make a suc- cess as a teacher — her winning personality will give her a wide circle of friends wher- ever she may be. 141 I NICHOLAS F.

He is a true student and a man of his convictions. His scholastic rec- ord at this school is enviable. Nick has had experience teaching in the field so that many of the students after their first contact with teaching come to him for ad- vice. Every one knows of Nick ' s ability as a geographer. He was first president and one of the most active members of the Geographic Society. His ability was also demonstrated along Journalistic lines for he served very efficiently on the Maroon and Gold staff. This year he received the honor of being elected president of the Senior class and never was an honor more fittingly bestowed. He has labored long and faithfully in this office. One would not think that with all his ac- tivities he would have time for fun. This is not the case. Nick was a good sport and never failed to grasp the opportunity to participate in a good Joke with the rest of us. We win always remember our loyal friend.

If you are looking for a partner to play tennis she is always ready. She also plays volley ball. Although she is very studious she always finds time to Join the large circle of friends which she formed while at B. S. T. C.

Ethel An Introduction is not necessary, for every one knows her. Ethel might appear quiet and sedate, but — oh, when you know her — she is full of fun. She is a friend most sincere. If you want something done, go to Ethel. She IS always ready to help, even if you conie at two o ' clock in the morning. We sometimes wonder why she didn ' t choose the medical profession. She might be of some assistance to sonie one in the fu- ture. Perhaps she will take up a course later. Judging from her frequent visits to the library, we are almost certain that she likes to study there. We are aware of the fact that two heads are better than one. Ethel loves to sing. There is no question about this. It did not take the Mixed Chorus long to discover that they needed her for a member. The Mu Phi Sigma Sorority values her membership very highly because she is al- ways willing to do her part. She is also a member of the Newport Club. Study? Why certainly Ethel studies. The question is. how much? . . What? When? What does she study for? Oh! For a very f ew minutes. Don ' t care. Ethel, one needs to have a little recreation. Ethel ' s greatest weakness is for hot- dogs. Weiners for lunch sends her into raptures: but for that matter, Ethel is al- ways ready for something to eat. Several of her friends marvel at how much and how often she can eat and still remain thin. Her enthusiasm is not limited for she has an overwhelming amount of pep. If pep and personality have anything to do with success. Ethel, we ' re sure you ' ll have a successful career. MYRTLE I ' RKE Taylor Hish School Taylor, Pa. Myrtle The thing that goes the farthest Towards making life worth while. That costs the least and does the most. Is just a pleasant smile. Myrtle sincerely believes this to be true. She has won many friends witli her pleas- ant smile. Friendship depends not upon fancy, imagination or sentiment, but upon character. If this is true, then, judging from her many friends. Myrtle must have a lovely character. Her sniile is nearly al- ways present, and when it is not — there is something wrong. Myrtle ' s motto is Work before play. but she always manages to find time for play. Perhaps you ' ve only seen her when she is studying and have found her to be a rather qtiiet person, but if you pay her a visit some time when she is not busy, you will experience a change of opinion. Early rising is Myrtle ' s hobby, or rather she would like it to be. Nearly every night she makes a resolution to rise early the next morning, but when morning comes — She sleeps, my lady sleeps! Of course there are some exceptions to every rule: once in a while she actually does get up early. The Delta Phi Sigma Sorority, Y. W. C. A. Cabinet and the Dramatic Club claim her as a member. We expect Myrtle to go smiling through and in so doing she can be nothing but successful. 143 i ll Ai m m • k tm0 ALMA I ' ULLEN Berwick Hish Scliool Berwick, Pa. •Al Alma is another of our quiet, demure and lovable girls. Yes. she is quiet most of the time, but when she does speak everyone listens. When examinations come along you can always hear her say. I don ' t know a thing. But judging from the marks that she gets on her papers, we ' d like to know what more anyone could know. Her motto is. Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. Consequently, you can find Alma in the library working almost any time. To those who do not know her well she may seem serious, but she possesses a sense of humor and a ready wit, both of which are greatly appreciated in the Locker Room. She is good-natured and therefore well liked. We have never known her to become angry or to refuse to help anyone. She has only one failing. You cannot hurry her when she is getting ready to go somewhere. When at last she is ready you should be waiting because she is going, but if she starts first you haven ' t any chance to catch up to her. We often wonder how such a little person can travel so fast. Alma ' s ambition is to be a teacher in the primary grades. We feel sure that she will reach that goal and be successful. As to how long she will be a school teacher we are not so certain. You will have to ask her, bec ause she will not tell us. We know it won ' t be always, though. Whatever you do or wherever you go. Alma, remember that our best wishes and love go with you. VIDA MARJOKIE PIRSEL BI Mlnl l)urs ilis ' Scliool Bloomsburg, Pa. Marge Did you hear that jolly laughter? Just follow it up and you ' ll find Marge. mak- ing someone feel that today ' s the tomor- row they worried about yesterday and hasn ' t happened yet. It isn ' t easy to tr - to put everything into a few words — there are so many wonderful things to be said about Marge. Her originality, her thoughtfulness, and her democracy won for her a foremost place with all of us. Every so often we find Marge bringing forth a new idea that is only characteristic of her. Perhaps it is because Marge Is so calm in the midst of strife that she finds time to think of the other fellow. She has a fine sense of relative values. She has a very good understanding of hu- man nature. She makes a success of those things she undertakes. In short, she pos- sesses the traits of an interesting person. Marge took active participation in the Dramatic Club and the Phi Ganuna Tau Sorority. Our wish is that she finds as much hap- piness as she has gi% en to others. ■   % M « ' I 1 ZELMA H.

Zelma Is one of our quiet girls — at least that ' s the impression that one gets by just coming in contact with her in classes; but after one learns to know her. she is an entirely different girl. She enjoys a good time, and is a verj ' good sport. She is really not as quiet as one might think. Zelma is a sincere student. She always works at her lessons until she has mas- tered them. To be an intermediate teacher is Zelma ' s chief aim. and we feel quite sure of her success. Her one failing is her weakness for pie. Oh me! Oh my! How she does love apple pie! Zelma has a perpetual desire for dancing and music. Probably her love for music prompted her to join the Girls ' Glee Club. She was also fond of playing tennis during her Junior year and sliowed great pros- pects of becoming a champion. We hope she continues along these lines. Zelma is an active member of Mu Phi Sigma Sorority. We wish you as much or more success in the teaching profession as you have had in your school life. ELIZABETH RAUP C ' atawis.sa Hish School Catauissa, Pa. Betty Elizabeth is a member of the rural group. We know that she is a diligent student for that is the only kind that comes from Catawissa High School. But to be serious, Elizabeth has always had her work at heart. She is very jolly and when there is a round of laughter among some rural students you may be sure she is there. We think we know why she chose this group. You see. Elizabeth was once a student in a rural school and consequently she knows how much we need efficient rural teachers. Some people like auburn hair, but Eliza- beth seems to think there are other Au- burns that are very nice. One day we no- ticed Elizabeth deeply absorbed in an auto accessory catalogue, and upon investigation we discovered she was looking at Snub- bers. Well — be as it may — all of us who know Elizabeth know that as a true friend she may be relied upon in any situation. Elizabeth will make a very efficient teach- er for some little red schoolhouse — but for how long? — ah. well, we will not venture to say. At any rate, the class of 1928 Joins in wishing her a successful career, whatever it be. Elizabeth is a member of the Rural Club and also an active member of the Glee Club. t ' ' N ' ' ' ■ - ' ' I V i ' i ' ' ■ - I - c - 1 ■ - - - - I f - X J _r J i i i ' r - LLOYD MELVLN READLER ISchickshinnv lli};li School Schickshiiiiiy. Pa. Agnes Keadler Here we have him. He ' s the mystery man of North Hall. Agnes. better known as Readier. is a problem whose solution has so tar defied every attempt. His char- acteristic reserve and laconic manner of expression stamp him at once as one who knows the value of life from broad experi- ence and who can be counted on in an emer- gency to do what may be required of him. Many boys have envied Agnes his ability to avoid incriminating circumstances when trouble stalks through the hall. Readier was graduated from the Schick- shinny High in ' 26 and came to us that fall full of resolve and with a determina- tion which has carried him through every difficulty, scholastic or otlierwise. Because of his experience and inclinations he chose the rural department as his field and we feel that he will be an asset to the rural group. During his first semester here Readier. in spite of his good intentions, was the vic- tim of a situation which could scarcely be regarded as being either unpleasant or un- paralleled. It requires no great amount of intuition or discernment to figure out the reason for those all too frequent trips to Berwick. We leave it all to you, Gen- tle Reader. Despite all the seriousness in his make- up. Readier is a good sport and a regu- lar fellow. He has many friends. He was a member of the Junior Varsity football squad and has long been active in the Rural Club. So long. Readier. May success and prosperity be yours wherever you go. .MILDRED REH.M HInoiii ' -bur;; Hi h School ISIoomshiirf;, I ' a. .Mill.v Though fates our paths may separate And hide your face from view Tis powerless to take from me My memory of you. This is the way we feel about Mildred be- cause to know her is to love her. She is always right there to help when a feller needs a friend. Mildred is a Bloomsburg girl and so has spent much time the last three years hik- ing up College Hill. Her ability as an executive was realized by her sorority sisters this year when they made her president of the Mu Phi Sigma. Besides her sorority activities she is an energetic member of the Bloomsburg Play- ers. She has been in so many plays that we have lost count, but we are always glad to see Mildred appear on the stage. Her work in Dramatic Club won for her one of the twelve gold pins awarded last year for distinguished service. Milly ' s motto is, Better late th an nev- er. and so you may often see her friends impatiently waiting for her. They may fuss a bit while they wait but when she arrives they decide the waiting was worth while and so cheerfully wait the next time. Did some one say she is quiet? Then you just don ' t know her very well: she can talk as fast as any one. Mildred is a good student and can be seen at any time carrying a note-book in which she stores her knowledge. We know Mildred will be a successful teacher and our best wishes go with her. t .., J n Mi.tttjtJ wl y - ' « iii i L jJ LEON A KEK HEN BACH Nmtluiniheihuul llisli School Noitluimheiland, I ' a. Oh, Boloiiev When you see a jolly girl with dark, curly hair and smiling face, you can make up your mind that ' s Leona. She can be found in her spare hours reading, roaming the halls, singing her favorite songs, or visiting her many friends. She has been a true friend and pal to all. When there is mis- chief in the air, Leona is there to join in the fun and she has been a good sport at all times. When she gets interested, it is hard to get her mind off it. but the joke is — try and get her interested. Quiet? Well. yes. When she has a book to read. She likes to read and when Leona is lost, we can be sure we ' ll find her in some quiet room, read- ing some of the latest magazines or books. This is one thing in which she is greatly in- terested and can always find the time to do. She also enjoys music and as a result her abilities are along the musical line. She plays a ukelele. and with her soprano ac- companiment, she makes music in the air. Of course, she has other interests, especially one. and that is situated near Northumber- land, her home town. Leona took the two year course in the Intermediate group. We ' re sure she will make a very successful teacher for she is an efficient worker and we all extend our heartiest wishes to her in her future work. She has been an active member of the Girls ' Glee Club during both years at school. Curly hair and laughing eyes. A jolly girl and not unwise. A very good friend to all in need. All know her bv word and deed. A. HELENA KELMENSNYDER .■Milton Ilish School Milton. I ' a. Sister Sis A happy smile. A cheerful hello. You can find Sister Wherever you go. Our Sister hails from Milton and for that reason we all feel like saying. Rah! Rah! Milton. Sister is fond of all sports and at the end of last year we always found her on the tennis court. As a champ of tennis. Sis «-lll some day be playing Helen Wills. Lessons, classes, or teaching never worry Sister, although she is a very industrious student. We always see her working on les- son plans. She has proven herself a suc- cess in teaching and we know her future career will be a success if it doesn ' t end too soon. The Lutheran Girls claim Sis as their president. She is also a popular member of the Campfire Girls. If you want to find Sis just go to room 277, even though her room number is 205. Sister is always ready to help you in any way and is a friend worth having. She has many friends in the dorm. Sister. we all wish you the best of suc- cess in anything you may undertake. Li.Luui ■ .

Than if she were tall. Edna ' s bright and sunny disposition has helped us through many a long hour dur- ing our two years of school life. She has been a friend of everyone, always ready to lend a helping hand, but never looking for a reward. This is why we all claim her as a real pal. Her personality and charming ways have won for her a host of friends. She is one of the best sports in the class, and her presence at the social events adds much to the scenery. She is kind, sweet and entertaining. Only until you have been accepted into her friendsliip circle, will you realize her qualities of worth and sturdi- ness which so deeply impress you. Judging from the number of gifts and her filled date-book, we are convinced that there is truth in the popular saying, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. She is an active member of the Phi Gam- ma Tau Sorority and a willing helper in all of its activities. Edna shows herself pos- sessed of a great amount of conscientious- ness. Her loyalty of nature is safe and when ambition whispers, Edna says. I can. Success in the teaching field is inevitable for one so ably adapted to the profession. ELIZ.

With a kind word and smile for every one. Elizabeth has won favor among all the girls because of her pleasing personality and kindness. She is very studious and never goes to class with her lessons unpre- pared. Honesty is her policy in work and play: she has proved to be a true friend to all who know her. Elizabeth has chosen the two-year course in primary work as preparation for her teaching career. We know that she will be successful because of the interest she has shown thus far. Of course, she likes a good time; so. af- ter her lessons are completed she makes good use of the recreation period with the other joymakers. If she has any eats we ' re all invited and we all get an equal share. If you can ' t find Elizabeth in her room, look in room 324. You ' ll surely find her there. Elizabeth took an active part in the Speech Arts ' Club and in the First Aid Club. We are sure that she has chosen wisely in her extra-curricular activities, for they have proved beneficial to her. We all envy her her ability as a lecturer. As for First Aid, we ' re sure it taught her how to fix up all the bumps and bruises of her little school friends. To Elizabeth, the class of 1928 wishes all kinds of success and triumphs in her chosen work. _ nr ' -■ ' ' ' ■ •■|- m jV rW . ■ ... . II DOROTHY R.

We received that impression from hearing her call her room-mate. Dottie may be serious and all that, but we don ' t care so much about her expres- sion when she says. Really, I ' m serious. There ' s something misleading about it. We feel that Francis Willard has a rival in Dottie, for nightly at her seances slie may be heard to remark on some matter of state. That ' s what I think. Now. what ' s your opinion? We ' ve never heard what her father does tor a living, but we think he must be a ■street cleaner, for she ' s always saying. I ' ve got lots of dirt for you. Dottle ' s future is a subject of much discussion among us. The way she slings us over her shoulder and carries us around makes us think that maybe she ' s preparing to be a hod-c arrier. When we hear her carefully crank her Big Ben every night. we think that maybe she ' s preparing to take over the Ingersoll concern. But then when we see her portray an old. wrinkled grand- mother in a fine play, we feel sure that she expects Ethel Barrymore to resign in her favor. We shall see. But don ' t be misled by our statements. for her unlimited number of adoring friends show how ideal she is. We know that her charming personality will win success for her. We know that Dot will continue in the future as she has in the past, to take life as she finds it and leave it a little better than It was.

A., in which she is Chairman of Music. Betty sure does her share in Y. W.. especially in the Japanese Bazaar — what doing? Selling Eskimo pies with a fur coat on? Did you say Betty loved to eat? Oh! No. Her favorite cry is. Have you a sand- wich? I ' m nearly starved. Never mind. Betty. we know you like red. curly hair as well as eats. You wonder why your heart goes pitty-pat when you see red hair? Well. Betty. we ' ll let another member of the opposite sex tell you that. Betty never missed one after-dinner dance. At these she would try out all her new steps and thus give us some more dif- ficulties to overcome in the dancing line. At our gang gatherings she always helped to entertain by an exhibition dance. Betty was there. too, even if she had to sing her own tune. If you succeed in teaching, reading, writ- ing and arithmetic. as you did in the fundamentals of tennis, you sure will make a racket as a teacher. ' ' ' ' ' ' ' r r ' 1 1 Li .1 Jii !

A first glance might make you think of her as a rather quiet girl, but learn to know her and you find her full of life and laugh- ter, always ready for some kind of a prank or joke. Ethel has a host of friends, gained by her good nature and love of fun. She Just naturally wins her way into your heart by her happy-go-lucky and care-free ways. She is never too busy to lend a helping hand where it is needed. She is always ready for a good time, and she usually gets it. too. Whenever there is any sort of social ac- tivity going on. Ethel immediately forgets lessons and is all attention to the more al- luring duty. But nevertheless, this does not keep her from standing high when it comes to marks. What does she like to do? Play her uke. dance and play basketball. If ever you can ' t find Ethel, look in the gym and probably you ' ll see her gliding lightly over the lioor. or Juggling with a basketball. She likes to sing and takes an active part in the Girls ' Glee Club. We wish you success. Ethel, in your fu- ture career — teaching or otherwise. HAKUIET E. KOBEKTS -Mt. C ' annel lli;;h School Mt.

She not only i-adlates charm among those of her own sex. but also among those of the opposite sex as may well be seen by a glance at her date book. We need say nothing of her beauty, as the photograph speaks for itself. In all social affairs and pranks. Har- riet is always a willing companion. In other words, she inay be termed as an all around good sport. Whenever any resonant sounds are heard in the dormitory we know that they are made by Harriet, and we sometimes feel that she would have made a great success in the field of oratory. Harriet also has some very beautiful and soft qualities of voice which make us think of Shakespeare and say Voice, excellent in Harriet. This dark-eyed lass is a member of the Phi Gamma Tau Sorority and takes an ac- tive part in all its social affairs. In all her studies Harriet has displayed vim and persistence, which are two quali- ties necessary for a successful teacher. All these qualities, together with her lovable disposition make a certainty of Harriet ' s success. t • i ' ii ' ' ii iif r I ' ■ - ' iiiij J III.- 1 . f . ! HILDA M.

She never wears a frown, but always a smile that says Hello ! for everyone. Although fun is Pill ' s ' middle name she believes in doing her work, and we know she ' ll make a great success at teaching. She has an ardent desire to secure a posi- tion next year somewhere in the vicinity of CoUegeville. Pa. We are not surprised to hear this but we know auburn hair is a great magnet.

Hank • Although Hank Rohland is the posses- sor of a quiet disposition, he is well known on the campus. He came to us three years ago from the energetic little town of Old Forge, and it was not long before he was quite popular, for this seemingly quiet youth has the knack of mixing with his fellow men. In his first year he distinguished himself as a scholar and later as a dancer of no mean ability. Having chosen the Junior High School as the field of his future ac- tivities Hank diligently applied himself to his work and as a result was always one of the few who tear not the examinations. Someone once said that still water riuis deep. These words are especially true of Hank, for a few moments ' conversation with this modest youth will convince any- one that he knows the subject about which he is talking. Some of the Junior High School students to whom he taught social studies can verify this statement because they early learned that this quiet, good- natured young man was sincere in his de- sire to further their education. His fine qualities were early recognized by the Iota Chapter of the Omega Chi Fra- ternity, and as a result they made him sargeant-at-arms in the Senior year. To a fellow who makes a scholarly im- pression and then fulfills all expectations we wish the best of luck and happiness. MILDRED ROSENBLl ' TH Old Forge High School Old Forge. Pa.

On seeing this dark-eyed, dark-haired girl, one is at once given the impression that she is either Bohemian or Russian. However, this is another instance where the old adage. Appearances are deceiving. holds true. Mil lived down town, commuting back and forth — sometimes. Her contagious laugh, usually coming from room 483. could al- ways be heard echoing through the dorm. A peach of a girl — with personality plus — that ' s Mildred. Because she is ever ready to lend a helping hand, and gives unstintingly of praise and encouragement, she has endeared herself to a host of friends. What about her wit and humor? Her ability to see the bright side of everything, together with her flashes of dry humor, helped to brighten many a weary day. Interested in all forms of athletics. Mil excels in playing basketball. A diligent worker and a good student. Mildred possesses the qualities of a good teacher. Success in the teaching field is sure to be hers. From this you may have deduced that Mil thinks of nothing else but school. Sh! — Suffice it is to say that she is a very popular young lady, and much in demand. With this true friend it is hard to part; Great of mind, and big of heart. t I.IJ U I 1 i i M 111 OiW «■ - - III 3 EDNA M. ROLSHEY Kingston To vn .lii|) Hisli School Lehman. Pa.

Tell us your secret. Ed? We are cer- tain we would all like to know how you do it. What is her hobby? Just give Ed a good book and let her alone and she is per- fectly satisfied: but we nrust not forget that Ed could also hold her own when it comes to eating and sleeping — especially the latter.

She is one of the brighter members of our class and was very seldom found wanting when it came to knowledge of the lesson. Betty is quite a musician. She has a lovely voice and in the course of her school career delighted many audiences. Betty says she ' s going to be a sophisti- cated school marm forever and ever, but we don ' t think so. We do know, however, that she will be a very successful teacher for she has all the qualities that make up a good teacher. Betty participated in many extra-cur- ricular activities to which she devoted a great deal of her time. Some of these were: Hockey, basketball, the Double Mixed Quartette. Dramatic Club and the Girls ' Glee Club. This list indicates that she had a widespread interest at school. There is no doubt about Betty ' s conscien- tiousness.

Some people are endowed with beauty, others with brains. Eleanor has been blessed with both. Her ' s is the beauty of a beauti- ful soul whose light is mirrored in those deep, brown pools — her lovely eyes. She sees with a poet ' s eyes and lives with a poet ' s soul. Not many have been privileged to probe into the depths of this unusual per- son. To most people Eleanor is a calm, dignified, reserved, dreamy girl with the carriage of a queen — and something dif- ferent about her. When we say different we have discov- ered the secret which envelops Eleanor. She is a poet whose talent is a gift of the gods. Not many have been so blessed. This talent Is a source of interest to Eleanor ' s Intimate friends — for she is very modest about it. Because we believe in giving praise where it is due. we give it here. Not only is Eleanor a poet, but a con- scientious student as well. Perhaps her great ambitions and high ideals have made her thus. Whatever has been the cause, not many of us have been so affected by it. As president and enthusiastic worker of the Current Literature Club, Eleanor has done much toward making this club profi- table and interesting. In addition to this. her work as a member of the editorial staff of our Maroon and Gold is appreciated. Eleanor, we expect wonderful things of you — your contributions to our paper and your other work have proven what you can do. Some day we shall be proud to say, Eleanor Sands — Oh, yes!

Grace lives in the vicinity of Watsontown and by her coming to B. S. T. C. has added many good quali- ties to otir class. Helpful, unselfish, true and winsome — are characteristics that will win for her countless clusters of friends wherever she may go. Knowing this damsel, we can say t hat somewhere in her many wishes is one con- cerning a neat little country school and obedient pupils. Now in this group of chil- dren couldn ' t there be a little Spanish boy or girl? We do wish there would be. for Grace loves Spanish and speaks it most fluently. In fact, she has her friends an- swering her questions in Spanish and even scolds them when they make serious er- rors. Do you wonder tliat we wish she can get her wish? Better still, wouldn ' t it be just right if Grace could teach Spanish — some day? Blonde hair fits Grace ' s face and sweet personality and also the saying — Gentle- men prefer blondes. We are glad she has not shorn her golden locks, for the role of flapper would not have been becoming. Taking into consideration the fact that Grace will eventually teach in a riu ' al dis- trict, First Aid was practical for an ex- tra-curricular activity.

She has a store-house of golden quali- ties and foremost among them is her gen- erous, natural, self -entertaining smile which is always encouraged by the heart of gold that stands just back of the smile. Ellen is a studious worker when she chooses to be so. At least her instructors And her quite entertaining. Her greatest ambition in every day life is to consume sixteen glasses of water. We are wishing Ellen the greatest suc- cess in whatever her interests bid her choose as her life work. . i_.a .L .L . XV .. . . . ,. . . j. J. ATILLA SCHOEN Central HIgli Soliool Scranton, Pa. Tilla Wavy hair and eyes of blue. A maid so sweet, a friend so true: A happy smile so full of fun — A girl who ' s loved by every one. Who ' s that singing so sweetly? Yes. That ' s Atilla. One could not mistake her lovely alto voice anywhere. Here she comes as happy as can be. spreading sunshine as she goes, imparting to those she meets a little of her pep and charm. No one can be sad when she ' s around. She is always ready for tun: she Is like- wise always ready for woi ' k. Her motto is. Plenty of woik and plenty of play, enough of each to make the other appreciated. Atilla did not enter Bloomsburg until February of last year, but although most of us have been here a half year longer, few of us are as well known or have as many friends. She is popular, not only in the sense of being known, but also in the sense of being loved. Her winning per- sonality is the secret. Some of the activities in which she en- gaged are: Y. W. C. A., the Mixed Chorus, and First Aid Club. She was elected presi- dent of this last. Surely the possession of such an even disposition and such a kndily nature as hers is bound to win success and happiness. MILDRED SECHAK Newport Township HiKh .Schtxtl Newport, Pa. Mish Mlsh came to us from Newport, a shy little maiden, but Bloomsburg helped her to overcome this fault. Her favorite words, when in a room with a crowd of girls, are — Look out. a mouse! Mlsh has a rather difficult time when W ' eek-ends come — deciding whether she should stay at school or go home. It is usually very hard to convince her to re- main. However, when she does stay, she Just naturally gets company for the week- end. Something seems to tell us Mish won ' t be classed among the school marms very long. She is a good all-round athlete, but she starred on the tennis courts. As a forward on a basketball team, it is difficult to find her equal. She proved her ability in hockey when she led her team to winning the cham- pionship of the school. Mildred was an active member of the U. N. I. Club, a club made up of the co-eds from Newport. It is unnecessary to wish you success, Mildred. With your ability you can be nothing but successful. Just the same, we wish you heaps o ' good luck, whether It will be in a school house or In a home.

Peg At first sight she appears quiet and de- mure; but oh. my! those who know her will disagree with that as she is one of the In-eliest and best sports in the dorm.. As an athletic leader, Peg is right there, and what would the Mixed Chorus do without her warbling? We almost lost Peg last fall. She de- cided to cast her lot with a neighboring school. Susquehanna University; but in a few short weeks she came back into our midst. Were we glad? The few weeks without Peg made us realize more than ever what she meant to us. With the exception of studying. Peg spends a good part of her time strutting to the rhythm of all popular music and in eating. When Peg says, let ' s eat, we know she means it. Don ' t cha care. Peg, it gives the Jaws good exercise for your chosen profession. We wonder why Peg has sworn off play- ing Jokes on one of the gang, such as shut- ting the closet door on them? We ' ll let you in on the secret, but keep it to your- self. Peg accldently shut herself in and had to call and knock for help to be re- leased. We will always remember Peg as a good sport, a true friend and a willing helper for all in need, None knew her, but to love her; None named her. but to praise, IN. M.

We love to hear her laugh, because its so contagious we all have to laugh with her. Dancing, singing, tennis, letter WTiting. All of these are major sports and interests of Sherrie. She can be found in the gym after dinner, almost every evening. We ' ve often wondered why it is that Sherrie is so anxious to be on time for the mail. I guess that we shall have to be Frank about it, and admit that there is a reason for everything. In this case the reason is a person of whom our Sherrie is very fond. You have our best wishes. May ail of yotir dreams come true. When it comes to studying, she is right on the Job. One can find her almost any night after 9:30 getting ready to begin work. However, she is always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it. One of Sherrie ' s favorite pastimes is singing. Becatise of this, she is a very ac- tive member in both the Mixed Chorus and Glee Club of which she is secretary. She is also a member of the Campflre Girls. Y. W. C, A, and the Alpha Delta Sorority.

Alice Alice came from West Cliester in 1927 to finish in our beloved Alma Mater, B. S. T. C. It was with great pleasure and de- light that we welcomed her. Friends were many with Alice. Not only among the girls was she popular, but also among the boys. She seemed to win every- one and was loved by all. Alice is a happy-go-lucky girl, taking things calmly. Very seldom does she be- come cross. She seenis to get great plea- sure out of all she does. I doubt if we shall forget an incident af- ter the first women ' s student government meeting. The dean asked that all Seniors remain for a few minutes. Alice remained. A girl touched her on the shoulder and said. I think I ' d leave if I were you; this Is for Seniors only. Alice replied. Please don ' t mistake me for a Junior. I attended similar meetings in my Junior year. Alice ' s participation in extra-curricular activities included Children ' s Literature Club, First Aid Club and Hostess Club. DORIS SLMS llanoxer ' I ' dwn liip llij;li Wilkes-Barre. I ' a. Doris school Well, well, here is our Doris, one of the most industrious girls on third floor and always willing to help others. Does she ever give up a party in order to study? Well, we guess not! She thinks too much of eating. Doris is a good sport and likes to have good times, but she also managed her work as well. Doris has a winning way and a pleasing personality which have won for her many friends. Onc e you become acquainted with her, you cannot help but like and admire her. as most of her intimate friends do. If you don ' t believe it. just ask one of the Shortess Gang of ' 25. If a party was being staged, the best en- tertainer of the evening would be our Doris with her list of jokes and stories. Doris was an active member of the Chil- dren ' s Literature Club and always did her part when called upon, especially during the Christmas sale of books. We know Doris will make a successful teacher, but we wonder just how long she will stick to the profession. However, we wish her the best of luck in whatever course she pursues. t I J f jL i I ■ i. . . i i J l i I . L . . . . . . IRENE SMITH e (■opeck Higli Sihool A ' apwallopen. Pii.

As a result of her fine personality and sacri- fice she has many friends whose compan- ionship have made her life enjoyable. Like all girls, she enjoys playing tricks on her school-mates and it was the clever- ness of these pranks that 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 very often seen in the library busily engaged in selecting material for the following day ' s classes. As a student teacher she has made con- siderable progress as our observations and a review of her records have sho«-n us. Her attitude toward her work and a natural love for children tend to make her the ideal teacher. Our love for her has been increased, if that is possible, by the little favors she obliged us by doing. Judging by her application to her studies here we hope to hear of this young lady on the road to success in the near future. FLORENCE K. SNYDER Shamokin Hisli Sclioul shamokin. Pa.

She wasn ' t among us long before she became known to everyone as Fluff She soon won her way into the hearts of many and made a lasting impression. Fluff becomes very studious every once- in-a-while. especially around examination time. At other times her favorite pastime is singing. We often hear her sweet so- prano voice singing a song entitled Memo- ries. Ask her why she sings it. and she «-ill only say. Becatise my memories are dear to me. Who ' s got something to eat? I ' m hun- gry. Yes. that ' s Fluff. When you hear a door banging and Fluff doesn ' t come out tor some time, you know she has dis- covered something to satisfy her appetite. If Fluff isn ' t eating, she is dancing. One can find her among the first at the after- dinner dances. Some day we expect to hear of her as a great dancing mistress. Fluff is the pep of a crowd, and Third Floor Annex Gang cannot get along with- out her. All we can say is that we wish Fluff all the happiness and success of which she is deserving. LEHMAN J. SNYDER Tiirliotville High School Tiiiholville. Pa. Snvrter Snyder began his worli at Bloomsburg during the summer session of 1926, com- ing from the big city of Turbotville. Be- cause of his quiet and unassuming man- ner he is not known to many, but to tliose who know him he is a lasting friend. Dur- ing his first winter here he was a mem- ber of tliat popular organization. The Hasli Slinger ' s Union. After a semester of teaching in one of those Little Red School Houses. he has be- come one of the genteel. Although he has specialized in the intermediate group, from reports it is known that he is capable of teaching anything from Kindergarten to College subjects. Snyder was one of the charter members of the Phi Lambda and has always been active in its many activities. Mere words cannot describe him. It is sufficient to say that he has been a peach of a sport, a good student and a real friend. We wish him, and we know he will get it, (if he doesn ' t get married too soon), all the success in this wide world. May he al- ways remember his Alma Mater, up on Col- lege Hill, and his classmates too. CAROLINE M. SPOTTS Milton lligii Scliool .Milton. I ' a. Blii.shes Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. How she loves to sleep. All the long day through. Dreaming of school and whom? You never know a person until you live with him. is a saying that holds true here. We all thought that Blushes was a quiet, studious girl. She fooled us. for wherever there was fun you would find Caroline there too. As for studying, no one ever saw her over-exerting herself in that line. One trait of Caroline ' s is that she never seems to worry. She is able to look on the bright side of everything. Caroline always greets one with a smile. She believes in mixing a little laughter with the serious aspects of life. We believe Caroline ' s one ambition is to teach music. It is strange we never hear her sing anything but one old song. We wonder why. Caroline has secrets as well as the rest of us. She doesn ' t bother her head about men while here at school, but occasionally she makes a slip, and we hear of some one from home. Well, we wish you success in the years to come, Caroline. t 1 1 i 1 1 1 . i. . i . , l , i l il-i .. . . . . i. . .J , . . .

Great of mind. Always pleasant. Gentle and kind. Immie looks like a sweet and quiet las- sie, and if you do not take her too seriously she is. She is very quiet among strangers, but when she is with her friends, it is a different story. Ada is the kind of a girl who doesn ' t study too hard, yet always has her work done. Then when work is o ' er and it ' s time for play she is anything but quiet. Have you ever heard her laugh aloud? If you haven ' t you don ' t know her very well, and if you have you will understand why her middle name isn ' t Silence. You would never think Ada would let men bother her in the least, would you ' ? Yet looks are deceiving. After she has I ' e- turned from a week-end at home, she is bubbling over with news and smiles.

Flossie Laugh and the world laughs with you: weep and you weep alone, is our Flossie ' s motto, because wherever she goes wit, laughter and merriment go too. Her chief characteristics are: A tendency to like knowledge — at a distance: wit — her jokes are famous: great ambitions — the highest being to sleep until twelve o ' clock some day: a generosity that endears her to every- one. The Mu Phi Sigma Sorority claims her as their own. Ask any of her sorority sisters. and they will tell you of her artistic and so- cial abilities. We will never forget the mean-looking pirate she made at the clever pirate party — an affair which she helped make a huge success for her sorority. As for floor supervisor, Floss is a won- der. Were we ever fooled by our Floss ? When we first heard her voice calling, Lights out, please! We thought she meant anything but business. But you just try keeping your lights on and you ' ll soon find that voices are deceiving. In Current Literature Club and Y. W. C. A., Floss proved that she is really wide-awake to everything that is going on in this world of ours. She can give you just the best argument on almost any sub- ject you wish to discuss. We must not for- get to say that Floss is always at the right end of her class, even though she doesn ' t make a fuss about studying. Words are Inadequate to describe Floss : you must know her to fully appreciate her. We all love Floss, and there will always be a big warm spot for her in all her friends ' hearts. VICTORIA STOCKOSK.A Wllkes-Barre High School H ' ilkes-Barre. Pa. Love Vic She would a jester be And entertain the company. Love ' s prime ambition is never to be- come an old maid. To prevent the attack she is always sprightly, witty and gay. We wonder how she can be so philosophical. To keep that school-girl complexion. Love insists that one must be an all- round athlete — and a school-marm. She certainly lives up to her beliefs, as evinced by the fact that she has played on the win- ning hockey teams of 1927-1928. and has been an absorbing fan and player on the basketball, volley ball and baseball teams. Have you ever tried to play a game of ten- nis with Love? Try her: she plays best at 5:30 A. M. Love ' s best forms of rec- reation, however, are swimming and danc- ing. Studying is an art In which Vic excels, especially a week or two before exams. How- ever, she does more than study books — she studies people and their characters. Were you ever fortunate enough to hear her dis- course on her ideal man? We ' ve been won- dering about him! Vic ' s club activities in the school were numerous. She divided her time among the Book Club. Rural Club, Glee Club. Wilkes- Barre Club, and Campfire Girls. May you And your ideal and have suc- cess in all your undertakings. U i ' j 1.1 ....

Stokes This young man came to Bloomsburg as a diamond in the rough with the group that entered in our Freshman year. He is that type of fellow who would make almost any sacrifice for a friend. His fine per- sonality soon made him one of the few really popular fellows in our class. His good-natured manner soon made for him many friends whose companionships have made his college life a pleasant one. Like all wide awake fellows he enjoys playing tricks on his schoolmates and it was the wisdom of these pranks that first made us sit up and take notice. He is a real student and distributes his time properly in applying himself to his school work. He is very often seen in the library busily engaged in selecting mate- rial for future classes. As a student teacher he has made con- siderable progress as our observations and a review of his records have shown us. His attitude toward his work and his natural interest in the teaching indicates that he will make an ideal teacher. Our respect and admiration for him has been increased, if that is possible, by the little favors he has done for us. Judging by his application to his studies while at Bloomsburg we predict that before many years have passed we will find this young man well on his way to the leader- ship in his chosen field. STERLING STRAUSER Bloomshurs High School Bloomsbiirs. Pa. Sterl One beautiful September day a young man stood in the hall-way near the Busi- ness Office. He was a stranger to many people, but not to all. Some one called. Sterl. A glimmer of light flashed over his countenance. He did have a friend here. Of course that was Peruiy. In speaking in terms of a tobacco firm, we say. Wliat a whale of a difference a few cents make. but when it comes to hmnan beings we say. What a whale of a difference a few years make. especially in Teachers College. When Sterl first ar- rived on the scene, he was a bit backward and shy; now we know that that was just camouflage. Sterl is the budding poet and artist of our class. The first year we got a new slant on his art when lie painted pictures in oil. but few knew about his work until he molded in clay, the evolution of man. past, present and future. The following year he was not inter- ested in art as in poetry and now his third year, he has combined both. We do not think, though, that all his interest is in these fields. As far as we know he still keeps the concrete hot to- ward Danville. Many people are doomed to failure but we know he is doomed to success, and we are all back of him. 163 [ i LU ii U I iii i i« J  M Mt M M t M M ybi ■■ , i t ii i  iyrfy rf ik$ii SARAH L.

But now. did you say quiet? Well, I guess not! Now for her virtues — loyalty, unselfish- ness and humor are only a few of them. She is an all-round good sport and is al- ways ready to help everyone. Here we must not omit that to be her friend one must indeed be honored, for To know her is to love her. Sally has made many friends at B. S. T. C. Her kindness and lovely disposition helped her win them. Sal ' s main delight is being proctor, but; — like Postum — there ' s a reason. A little bit of eats gathered here and there helps when one is hungry. Doesn ' t it, Sal? Sal ' s main sport is — well, let ' s not talk about athletics.

Peg is the kind of a girl who doesn ' t study too hard, but yet al- ways has her work done. Then when work is over and it is time for play, believe me, she is anything but quiet. Has the mail come yet? Did I get any? You can be sure of hearing Margaret ask- ing these questions about the time for mail. There is always a letter for her from — well, one of her acquaintances. She spends her pastime answering these letters or reading. During Peg ' s Junior year she belonged to the Speech Arts Club. Being interested in athletics, she also played basketball and baseball.

Also, because of her musical talent, she was the successful song leader of Camp Odakonya. Though the life of a Senior is a very busy one. Ella found time to be the efficient pianist of our or- chestra, and was also a member of the Mixed Chorus. She again took active part in the Campfire Girls, and. we are sure, will make a fine leader in the near future. In- deed, as a pianist. Ella has a more prom- ising future than, we believe, Elley Ney ever had. For the coming years we wish her all the luck and success that life can afford. LYDL M. T.WLOR ;st.

She possesses such a charming personality and optimistic attitude. If Tommy is ever seen without a smile and cheerful greeting, one may look for nothing less than a catastrophe, because it would take just that to make her blue. She is always among the first in line for mail, but then you know every action has its reason — so draw your own conclusions. Mary has one consolation — when she takes the fatal step (not procuring a posi- tion as school teacher, either), she won ' t have to change her name. That is a help, you know. Tommy has also served as a good and faithful messenger, but of course that is known only to a chosen few. This service is more than appreciated by all concerned. Mary never seems to be worried about her studies, and yet those who know her well, know that she is always right on the spot when it comes to doing lessons. Tommy is a member of the First Aid Club, and as a member of the Junior Prom Committee helped make that affair a suc- cess. We extend sincerest wishes and happi- ness to one of the best — she who certainly lives up to A friend in need is a friend indeed. MATIE H. TOVVNSENU Scott High School Matie Matie hails from the metropolis of Lightstreet, which accounts for her light- ness. She comes to us from Scott High School at Espy. During her four years there she was very diligent in her work and was fond of dramatization. Her appearance denotes modesty and quietness, but when something furmy hap- pens in the Girls ' Locker Room you should hear her hearty laugh. Matie ' s aim in life is to do her best and to make those about her happy. She has a loving natiue. deep and generous, and we feel sure she will succeed as a school teacher. Matie is fond of children and we prophesy her as a good primary teacher. Matie has two hobbies — work and play. When it comes to work she is a shark, and a good sport when it comes to play. Life means something doing every min- ute to Matie. She has deep blue eyes, brown hair, and a loving disposition that has won her many friends. How about those letters from the Freeland school teacher? Matie is one of the active members of the First Aid Club and the Glee Club. When you go out without your umbrella.

She ' s a leader of all social functions because of her popularity and ability as a dancer. Dot is one of our most popular girls. No wonder! Who wouldn ' t be if she were a combination of good sport and true friend? Books are of secondary importance when there is a chance for a good time, but after all, aren ' t plea- sures as necessary as work? Do you feel as if everyone were against you and your last friend had deserted you? If so, go to Dot, who is the friend of the friendless. In a short time she will make you feel that life is worthwhile and there is a particular place for you. The secret of Dot ' s success seems to be that she forgets herself in thinking of others. Dot finds little time to worry. Happi- ness is her chief aim, not only to find it for herself, but for everyone. She has been a good student and is active socially. She has a sunny disposition and is never found contrary. Her personality and charming ways have won for her a host of friends and the place of Secretary of the Tau Phi Epsilon Sorority.

Judging from appearance one would think she was very quiet and sedate, but appear- ances are deceiving. She is good natured and always willing to help others. To know her is to love her.

If you need a part- ner for tennis, call Turri, she ' s ready. She Is quite a student. We know from observing her diligently at work, what kind of a teacher she will be.

She is a charter member and secretary of the Campfire Girls, a member of the Ma- roon and Gold Staff, and secretary of the U-No Girls ' Club. Success to you, Turri. HUGH VAN AERNAM Hiirrisbiirj; Tec!ini -al HiKh School llarrishurg. Pa. Bugle Van ■Van entered the Bloomsburg State Teachers College in the fall of ' 25 in or- der that he might follow up the teaching profession. From the very first day he be- came a universal favorite with the young women here at school. Every one found him to be very accommodating and willing to do things, especially when it came to eat- ing. Van earned a reputation as the best dancer at the College and no after-dinner dance was a success without his presence. The call of sports attracted Van and he wore the Maroon and Gold uniform on the gridiron and on the cinder path. He played tackle on the football team and many a victory for B. S. T. C. was largely due to his skill in tackling and blocking. Van showed his ability as a track man in the meet at Dickinson Seminary. Although athletics was his greatest in- terest, he placed as much time on his stu- dies as he did on sports. He is an am- bitious, studious fellow and a successful worker in the Junior High School Depart- ment. He Is seldom seen about the campus without an armful of books. Activities? He belonged to the Drama- tic Club and was a member of the Senior Tribunal. He was a member of the Stunt Night Committee and of the Junior Play. Because of many good qualities we con- sider ourselves fortunate in having Van as one of the members of our group, and may he have heaps and heaps of success. Lit . .

Nick Pinker When the great crowd that entered this institution way bacli in ' 24, had peace- fully settled down to hard work, there came to the fore a quiet, industrious, young chap whom the boys called Nick. After completing his Junior High School Course of three years, he decided to return for another year and the degree of B. S. Du. ' ing his sojourn here he participated in a number of activities. He joined the basketball squad in ' 24 and later, in ' 26, became captain. Along this line he has im- pressed the basketball fans by his remark- able shooting and splendid form. On the diamond he played centerfleld in ' 25 and ' 26. and again manif ested his athletic ability. We must not overlook that fact that Nick was a real scholar. He was deter- mined to accomplish what he once set out to do. It was this perservance that brought Pucker into the limelight as an athlete, a student, and as an all around good fellow. He is a charter member of the Iota Chap- ter of the Omega Chi Fraternity and served as secretary last year. He is also a mem- ber of the Dramatic Club and advertising manager of the Obiter staff. Many wonderful times were spent In his company and it Is with pride that we wish him success In the future. MARJORIE VANDERSLICE Bloomshurs His ' i School Bloonisburs. Pa. Perc ■We are inclined to see truth in the say- ing, Good things come in small packages, for it applies directly to Perc. She is a most ambitious person and possesses an unlimited supply of energy. She takes her work, whatever the nature, seriously. How- ever, we sometimes have cause to doubt this when we hear her say, Do I have a class this period? And where, pray tell, if any? Well, if I do, it ' s just too bad be- cause I can ' t possibly get there now — who can keep back of a program that jumps all around, anyhow? Perc has dark hair, and brown eyes that fairly sparkle with amusement. She has an unfailing sense of humor that makes us like her. We often wonder how Perc can keep track of her program at a dance. She has been known to borrow a pencil and some- one ' s cuff in order to keep her dances straight. Both the Dramatic Club and the Phi Gamma Tau Sorority are proud to claim her as a member of their respective organi- zations. Marjorie is worthy of success and we are sure she will attain that goal. t ' H N ' ' ' • ' r ' ■ ' ' ' - - r Mt i _ i _rji i ' Vr FLORENCE I. VOLKMAN Danville Hic ' i School Uanville.

She means to be a successful and worthwhile actress while she is about it. She takes life and work seriously, but not without its seasoning of lun. As an all-round good fellow, she has no equal.

Go to her with a heavy heart, and she will sympathize with you. In Danville, Flossie is considered quite an athlete. Among her favorite sports she numbers skiing and skating. She is efflc- ent in both. In addition to sports. Flos- sie is interested in the Geography Club, of which she is a member. Flossie is one of the Locker Room ' s favorite fun-makers. There is no Locker Room activity In which she does not take part. We are sure that Flossie has never had a single enemy, because good-natured people are too rare for hostility.

Always hurrying through the hall. You turn around and — its Teloiv. She is sure to stop you with her, Hey. listen. For some reason she has taken a liking to Sunbury — just yet we wonder why. We find she is a very good critic on cars, but her great weakness is she changes her ideas too quickly, (for example, from Fords to Studebakers). We suppose there is a reason but that is for us to find as yet. When she entered here she appeared very quiet, but this is a case where looks are deceiving, for those who know her are con- vinced otherwise. One never sees her without her smile and if she seems sad you can be sure the time has come to talk of witty things. Her sunny disposition has won her a promi- nent place in many hearts. With all the musical ability displayed by her participation in the Glee Club and Mixed Chorus will not lead to many years of school teaching, even though it appears as if she will not stay in this field for a long while. We all Join in wishing her much success. 170 Li.ijii n lJi MJw i uWwMil M M HHmI I EDMUND DONALD WALLACE Hanover Township High School Lee Park. Pa. ••Ert Ed arrived from Lee Park to enter the Hall of Learning at Bloomsburg in the fall of ' 26. How well we remember our first acquaintance with this promising young teacher. Ed is a fair complexioned youth of medium height with blonde hair. He is of a very studious appearance wearing large, dark-rimmed glasses. His appearance de- ceived us. for we found he w ' as always ready to have a good time and is a good sport. During the first semester of his fresh- man year Ed steered clear of all females. but it must have been that this decision was influenced by his desire to live up to the customs imposed by the Seniors. Last year and this year Ed was often seen in the lobby and library. It must have been that he had to see his Nellie daily. Ed was an active member of the Geo- graphic Society and Assistant Manager of football in his Freshman year. His all- absorbing interest now is practice teach- ing, and . Ed enrolled as a Freshman in the four year group but this year changed to the Intermediate Department. He was one of the first of the fellows from our institu- tion to do their practice teaching in Ber- wick and from all indications he will be a very successful school teacher. May the wishes for success, from your classmates of ' 28. spur you on to many noble achievements. iMARJORIE ELLEN WALLIZE Lewistown High School Lewistown, Pa. Peg Sweet personality, full of rascality, that ' s ' Peggy ' Wallize. Did you ever see Peg when she wasn ' t smiling (except, of course, when there was a test dimming the near future). She just naturally smiles her way through life. Her motto is, Why worry. I ' ll get there some- how. When Peg isn ' t smiling she ' s laughing, dancing or chattering and she ' s even capable of doing all three at the same time. At the latter she is an adept, but one thing in her favor she never chatters unless she has something to chatter about. Peg is a whiz when it comes to play- ing the tike. Many are the nights she keeps second floor in the girls ' dormi- tory spellbound by the melodious strains which she charms from this particular in- strument. Speaking of literature, Peg would rather read poetry than eat. We ' ve often wondered if she cut her teeth on one of Edgar Guest ' s poems. Not the least of her accomplishments is her ability in the class room. She has acquired that most famous art which we all agree requires gray matter in no small amounts. Besides her class work. Peg has taken time to become a good athlete. She was out for all the sports in her Junior year and as a result was among those to earn numerals. Peg took an active part in Speech Arts Club. Glee Club and the Y. W. C. A.. Mu Phi Sigma Sorority was also glad to claim her as one of its members. We wish you all the success in the world, Peg. but one last word. Never use teaching as a stepping stone to other occu- pations, as long as Detroit stays on. the map. llj ly 1 I . J. . . . . ,I,,i ., ... Mlrf|l aJUJ.

Al ' Tis said that good things come in small packages, and ' twas said by a man — who is supposed to be a wee bit wiser than any of the rest of us. We feel certain that the sooth-sayer must certainly have known Alice and received his wisdom therefrom. Alice so seldom has anything to say that when she does begin to speak we all be- gin to whisper — Sh, sh. for fear she will stop and we will never more hear the pip- ing of that tiny voice. Although she is quiet — we know that she thinks a lot. And once in a while when she has occasion to speak, we are surprised at the Intellectual discussion of certain fundamental rules and principles which govern her daily life that is spent amid the toil and tribulation of the world. She is not an active member of anything in particular, yet when she is absent there is always something missing. Al can be found at all hours, study- ing by lamplight. I mean by flashlight. She is one of the few of us who always have their work prepared before the ringing of the second bell, but then most of us do not prefer to Invest in a flashlight and half a dozen batteries. Farewell. Alice. The sincere thoughts of your classmates will be with you on your Journey through your future. C. ELIZABETH WARD Hilkes-Barre lli!;li Scliool Mainville, Pa. •Bibs Did it take Bibs long to become ac- quainted upon her entrance at Bloomsburg? Not much! Her sociability and sincere friendliness were contagious and before many weeks had passed, she could boast of a host of friends. But then, what barrier would not be broken down by Bibsy ' s bright smile? That Bibs is socially inclined was prov- en by her efficiency as secretary of the Junior Class, also, by her membership in the Phi Gamma Tau Sorority. Bibs athletic ability was splendidly dis- played when she and her partner won the Junior tennis tournament. Everyone, no doubt, has seen her at numerous times on the basketball floor, and the hockey and baseball fields. In private life in the Girls ' Dorm, we shall never forget our Bibs on duty as Hall Supervisor, after lights were out. Did she keep order? Well, we were all proud of her for that. Besides all of this acquired ability, none of the finer things of life were lost to Bibs. She is gifted with a silvery-clear voice, which won for her a place in the Glee Club. Poetry, music, fine paintings, all appeal to her sense of the beautiful. Needless to say. her personality has been known to overcome many difficulties. In short. Bloomsburg without Bibs would be as a painting without color. 172 MARGARET WARD Hazletim Hif;h ScIiodI Hazleton. I a.

She is a favorite with both sexes, but why shouldn ' t she be with such ad- mirable qualities? Peg is the best little sport and is true blue even to those pretty eyes. She is al- ways ready for some fun. and likewise for work. Peg. too. visits the mail box quite frequently. The look on her face when she receives the very welcome letter will im- mediately tell you that her main interest must be somewhere near home. We won- der, then, why Peg just can ' t wait for certain nights (mostly week-ends)? One of those same letters will put you on the right track. The Tau Phi Epsilon Sorority claims Peg as one of its loyal members. She chose teaching for her life profession, but from all appearances we doubt if she will teach at all. We are not limiting our good wishes to her teaching days, but are giving them forever and ever. LOIS WATKINS Taylor Hi h Scliool Taylor. I ' a.

This means not so much bigness of stature as bigness of heart and of intellect of this notable individual. Did I say notable in- dividual? I mean more than that. Words cannot express the criterion that should be conveyed to you concerning his work in this school. He does not use his great knowledge for his own aggrandizement. Many of the people at this institution will tell vou how he stopped while engaged in a tedious piece of work and assisted them with some problem that troubled them. We need only iiiention some of the achievemeiits of Tom : Editor of the Ma- roon and Gold. 1927-28; Associate Editor of the Obiter, 1927; charter member of the Geographical Society; member of the foot- ball team of ' 27. We must not fail to men- tion that often during his stay at North Hall he was pressed into service as an in- structor in the Bloomsburg High School, where he rendered efficient service. Words cannot express our feeling for him. We know he will succeed. It can truthfully be said that the children w ' ho are lucky enough to have Tom for a teacher will be inspired by a scholar, a teacher, a gen- tleman, and a friend. GRACE E.

This is Gracie Who could be around this school so long and not know her? Whenever there ' s any- thing going on she is always present and always brings her happy-go-lucky disposi- tion with her. We may describe her as one full of pep. who enjoys having a good time. If ever there is a Joke to be played on any- one, you can rely on Gracie being there. She is always in the center of a very in- teresting group, either relatiiig some funny story, playing the sax or singing the lat- est songs or exhibiting the latest dance steps. At times Gracie can be found iii the gym dancing, playing the piano for the dancers or playing basketball. This maid- en is a whiz of a guard, even though she is small. We must realize that there is a time when Gracie sets aside all fun and be- comes very serious; this is when she is studying. Her work here has proven that she considers it a pleasure to prepare it. Gracie is an active niember of the or- chestra. She is little, but can she play the sax ? Well. I ' ll say she can. Ask the classmates. We don ' t expect Gracie to be in the profession very long, but whatever she may choose we wish her heaps and heaps of success. 173 ■ t0i l t  0 t t0 I GERTIU 1)K L. WENNER lientiiii c)( ' atiollal Siluitil JStillwater, Pa. •■Tnidie To begin with. Gertrude is another one of those famous Benton Vocational School graduates. Perhaps that accounts for her good work here in College. Gertrude is well-known throughout Bloomsburg and vi- cinity for the active part she has always taken in activities. Another thing that ac- counts for her wide-spread fame is her beau- tiful red hair, the shade of hair that Cleo- patra must have had. Gertrude has many friends scattered throughout the continent. When once Ger- trude is a friend, she is always a friend. She is sincere in all that she does, especially in imparting knowledge to the younger gen- eration. Just now the weight of entertain- ing occupants of the Locker Room rests upon her shoulders. However, she finds the ta.sk quite simple because she has had so many experiences that she never fails to hold the attention of her listeners. At the present time. Gertrude resides in Orangeville. There she takes an active part as a Booster of the town. She acts as librarian and assistant constable in her spare time. It is even rumored that she belongs to the fire company. She is also vitally interested in the construction of the town reservoirs and the like. We wonder why? Her favorite poem is Stevenson ' s, The Lamplighter, especially this part: My tea is nearly ready and the sun has left the sky; It ' s time to take the window to see Leerie going by. With her experience and charming per- sonality. Gertrude certainly will make a successful teacher. MIRI.V.M WENNER Ha letiin llisli School West Ha .leton, l a. .Mir This young lady came to us with the group that entered here in our Freshman year. She is one of those good-natured girls who would do anything for a friend. As a result of her fine personality and sacrifice she has many friends whose com- panionship have made her life enjoyable. Like all girls, she enjoys playing tricks on her schoolmates and it was the clever- ness of these pranks that 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 very often seen in the li- brary busily engaged in selecting material for the following day ' s classes. As a student teacher she has made con- siderable progress as our observations and a review of her records have shown us. Her attitude toward her work and natural love for children tend to make her the ideal teacher. Our love for her has been increased, if that is possible, by the little favors she obliged tis by doing. Judging by her application to her studies here we hope to hear of this young lady on the road to success in the near future. i. J. J. ■ 1- . -. 1 II JAMES H.

Jimniie .Jim After the excitement of the arrival of the Freshman Class of ' 26 had subdued and the opportunity to observe our surroundings presented itself, we discovered a quiet, un- assuming young chap whom we have conie to know as Jimm.ie. Coming to Bloomsburg with the e.Kpress purpose of securing an education, Jimmie gave most of his time to his school work at which he succeeded very well. He has since added other interests and may be seen in the lobby or the library, accom- panied by an especially attractive one. Be- ing human and a tj-pical American youth he could not wholly refrain from partici- pating in the various sports. So we find him playing end on the championship Freshman football team in ' 26. and in ' 27 playing the same position on the victorious team of the upper classmen. The Junior Varsity basketball team was considerably strengthened by his presence. Jim ' s time was not wholly taken up by studies and athletics, for in his Senior year we find him tickling the ivories for the North Hall Orchestra and actively par- ticipating in the affairs of the Omega Chi Fraternity to which he was elected soon after the beginning of the second semester of his Freshman year. He is now the sec- retary of this organization. The ease with which he fits into various character parts has made him a valuable asset to the Dra- matic Club, with which organization he allied himself early in his first year. May you be as successful in future en- deavors as you have in those of the past, Jim. ADELINE YAXXES St. .Villi ' s Hiiih School Freelaiul. Pa.

She knows the time for work and the time for play, although the only time she is ever quiet Is when she ' s asleep, at which time she doesn ' t even snore. Adeline is a prominent member of the U.

We will miss Adeline roaming through the halls w ith the V. No. Girls. furnish- ing amusement for the occupants of the Dorm. Adeline is a member of the Current Event and the First Aid Clubs. Since becoming acquainted with Adeline we have found her to be liberal and obliging. We hope that she will be as successful in holding friends after graduating from B. S. T.

If ever you are feeling bUie and want some one to help drive your blues away, come to see Mart. Mart is a good worker; consequently we can depend on her to liave lier studies prepared. When we find her studying, we often wonder where that famous giggle lies hidden. We might call Martha the human alarm clock of fourth floor. Many nights girls call at her room with the words, Will you wake me up early tomorrow, ' Mart ' ? She has never been known to fail them. Ask her room-mates, they know. Have you ever been near Mart at a football or basketball game? It you haven ' t, you can ' t appreciate genuine school spirit, for we can always find Martha sup- porting and encouraging tlie teani with her yells. Can she make fudge?

Quiet, reserved, and shy, but with such a warm-hearted generosity in everything to- ward all her classmates, she is well-liked by everyone.

She considers her- self immune to their charms, although we sometimes wonder why Hilda is always so anxious to go home every week-end. Hilda is one of the best all around girls in the world, always pleasant and happy, and always a sure cure for the blues. Her popularity among her fellow stu- dents is shown by the various positions which she has held.

C. a year ago, there was discovered a quiet, un- assuming young chap from Trevorton known as Zim. During the first few weeks with us he was out for adventure and fun. He was here and tliere trying to find out tlie why and wherefor of every thing that happened on the campus. He did not lose much time in making inquiries about certain pretty girls that crossed his path, and be- fore long Zim lost his adventurous spirit and became romantic. This was evident for he was often seen strolling down the cam- pus with one of our female classmates. Zim distributed his time properly as a student; although athletics were his ambi- tion, he placed as much time on his studies as he did on sports. Zim helped to win many a football vic- tory for B. S. T. C. In extra-curricular ac- tivities he was prominent, being a member of the Junior Varsity basketball team, trea- surer of the Omega Chi fraternity and trea- surer of the Senior Class. His companionship and good nature will never be forgotten by those who knew him. RUTH .M. ZLM.MER L N ISerwick lli -li Scliixil Berwick. I ' a.

She need never worry about ex- cess weight as a result. ■When it comes to singing, Zimmie is there. I ' ll bet you never knew that, did you? Not many do, for she is rather in- clined to refrain from admitting her abil- ity in that line. But if you don ' t believe me. ask any vocal instructor who has heard her sing. He will most assuredly agree witli us that she has a splendid voice. As a basketball captain and forward — well, come to a game and see for your- self. Zimmie may be a little disappoint- ed if her team loses, but you ' d never know it. She ' s as game a loser as a victor. A clever girl, there.

She doesn ' t believe In wasting her time in Idle chatter and never talks unless she has to. She is vei ' y studious and always on the rampage for work. As an artist of Imaginary things we believe she will win fame. Nancy entered In February and belongs to the Scranton gang and we must say this much for her, She isn ' t as noisy as her school-mates. Men. In her mind are taboo; she has so many more important things to think of. She belongs to the Scranton Club, the Children ' s Literature Club. She also joined the First Aid Club but gave it up because she did not have the time to de- vote to it. Nancy has to hurry to her school down town tor she believes in being prompt. The reason for her hurrying so was her consideration for lier room-mate who just couldn ' t be on time. Nancy is sometimes called the Great Stone Face. for no matter how she feels she never shows her emotions. ■We are sure she will succeed in lier work and we wish her all the success and hap- piness that can be wrought for we know that she deserves it. I KATHRYN ZlRLIXnEX llii;;h( ' st()Uii Hii;li School IMtt ' -ton. Pa. Kitt, Here is one of the small members of our class. Not only is she small but she per- sists in staying at the foot of the class. This does not mean that she does it be- cause her class reports say she must, but because Z is at the end of the alphabet. Any one would admit that it would be dif- ficult to climb to the top of the class with such a handicap. The only way to do this would be to change her name. ' We wonder if she is thinking of it. She is a graduate of tlie 1926 class of Hughestown High School. She is just one of the six girls in her class who chose the teaching profession at Bloomsburg. She en- tered the intermediate work and we are sure that she will make a success of it. Kitty has three desires. Her greatest one is to sleep. She wonders how any aver- age commuter can walk. ride, eat and study in twenty-four hours of the day and then find time to sleep. Her second desire is to eat. In this she has a companion, also a Kathryn. Her third desire is that con- cerning her profession: she wishes to teach some day in Philadelphia or New Jersey. ■Whatever you do. don ' t disappoint her in anything. Just watch what will happen if you do. Kitty is an all-round athlete. She took an active part in basketball, volley ball, tennis and hockey. The Girls ' Glee Club was pleased to have her as one of their membei ' s. Kitty also weai ' s a Mu Phi pin which signifies that she is an active mem- ber of that sorority. ■We all wish you heaps of success in the future and hope that you will always re- member our good times at Bloomsburg. 182 iiljj i_i ' ' • i - - ' ' - ' ' ' ' - ' - - r f J J i ' i rr Autographs « 183 ilJLujiii a a. i MJ - r r 1 I f I rii ! ii iri i i: Fresh man Class ' J ' hc class of ' 29 entered P..

This was fallowed by a jjeriod of teaching English and history in senior high schools of New Jersey. Later she held the position of Secretary of the Young ' omen ' s Christian Association in Philadelphia and Baltimore. Through this work she undoubtedly found her main in- terest and prepared herself further fur it by work at tlie University of Pennsylvania and Columbia University. From the latter institution she received the degree of Ma ster of Arts. Following her line of interest she next became Director of Voca- tional Guidance in Coatesville and Wayne, Pennsylvania, and later Dean of Girls at Bronxville, New York. This leads up to the fall of 1927 when she came to us as Dean to Women or as dormitorv Mother. I 189 l,LlJ i  M « ' ii yyy i i UX Marguerite W. Kehr How fortunate we were the second semester to have come to us one so experienced and capable, one who soon proved to be a very true friend. AUhouj h we were grieved to lose our former dean, we have found a real com])ensation in Dr. Kehr. Miss Kehr began her higher education in the University of Ten- nessee where she received the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Xot satis- fied with this attainment she studied philosophy and psychology at Bryn Mawr. Lat er she earned the degree of Master of Arts at W ' ellesley College. Cornell University next attracted her. and it was from this institution that she received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Dr. Kehr has enjoyed both a business and teaching career. Her teaching began with Latin in a senior high school and was followed by a position as instructor in psychology in the University of Ten- nessee. Her last position was that of Dean of ' omen at Lake Forest College, Lake Forest. Illinois, from which she has come to Bloomsburg. Since her arrival, our Dean has made our life at the College more comfortable and pleasant. Believing that smooth working, effi- cient discipline is the direct result of real co-operation between stu- dent and Dean, she has done everything possible to bring about this understanding. llil. l.J. ..s.ul.,. .... . j ' J LIJJJ J_LJ|JLJ John C.

He was a regular on the Varsity Tennis I ' eam for four years, and in his sophomore year had the distinction of being a member of an undefeated team. The experience gained in college competition nunJe it jjossible for him to win the Singles Tennis Championship of Lancaster County in 192.5, the Central Pennsylvania Doubles Championship in the same year, and the Southeastern Pennsylvania Title in 1927. Mr. Koch was Assistant Editor of the Bucknellian in his junior year. In ] repa- ration for this position he spent one summer at Columbia University as a journal- istic student. He is a member of the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity and the Cap and Dagger, Bucknell ' s dramatic organization. Following his graduation Mr. Koch taught Fiiglish, mathematics, history, and biology in the high school at Colombia, Pa. . t the same time he was ath- letic director of the institution. Under his skillful supervision athletics pros- pered and Columbia was represented by some of the best high school teams in its history. Only three years after beginning his career as a teacher Mr. Koch was se- lected as an instructor in the English Department of the Edison Junior High School of Harrisburg. While engaged in this position he had the opportunity to observe the results of applied theoretical methods in tlie then new junior high school mo ement. We next hear of him as Dean of Men and instructor of dramatic English at Bloomsburg State Teachers ' College in the summer of 1927. His ability was recognized by the administration, and he was retained as Dean of Men and placed in charge of the Junior High School Department. Since he assumed his duties, North Hall has become more than a mere dormi- tory. It is to us our temporary home. Realizing that the source of much fail- ure in discipline is the result of too numerous rules, he endeavored to improve the situation by reducing and simplifying the rules then in existence and by limiting the new laws to a few that were absolutely necessary. The success of his plan is evident in the smooth and efficient manner in which the affairs of North Hall are conducted. The men immediately realized that they had a Dean who would do everything possible to make their life pleasant and comfortable and, accordingly, put forth every effort to make his task an enjoyable one. The result was perfect co-operation which has drawn us all into an harmonious relationship. • « 192 1 u u ( 1 r II I - 0k 0 l  ljB gl ■M JL Community Government Association Tlic C ' limnuinity ( 1(j irnim ' iU Association of our Collefjc wiiose niem- licrshi|) is composed of all iiicinhers of tlie faciilly, boardiii slitdcnts of Nortli and Wallci ' I lall . and all day students has for its object co-operation with the resiMin il)le autluirities in promoting ])ersonal and group resi)onsibil- ities in guiding and regulating the affairs of all stud-.-nts under the jurisdic- tion ol the ( (illege. The aims of the men and the women and the faculty expressed a short M ' hile ago clearh ' indicated that affairs concerning students cannot be con- ducted in a liarni(ini((us wav withmu co-o]K-rati(in. The nieniliers of the student-teacher constitutional committee realized also in drafting this constitution that co-operation among students and faculty was necessary for the successful functioning of this association or any other organization of its kind. They also realized that efjual and just representation by the nun and women students would tend toward closer co-operation. The association like an - other organization must have officers, so two weeks before election day. which is the first Monday of May. the Student Council meets as a nominating committee and selects three nominees for each of the four offices of the association. The scholarship, citizenshi]). and conduct of the nominees must first be approved by the President of the college. A candidate for president of the association must be a member of the fourth year class of the four-year course. The vice president, secretary, and treasurer may be members of either the second, third, or fourth year class. The student council which is the executive, legislative, and judicial agent of the association is elected on the first Tuesday in May by the various classes. Representation on the council is based on classes. Each class elects two representatives, a man and a woman. For example, the fourth year class, the third year class, and the second years class of the fourth year course elect two representatives, and the freshmen of the four year and two year courses jointly elect two representatives. In order to insure the day students representation they meet and elect one man and one woman also. The men of North I Tail antl the women of Waller Hall elect one re])resentative each. The President of the Association is also president and a member of this council. The President of the College, the Dean of Instruction, the Dean of W ' oiuen. Dean of Men, and Director of Teacher Training are also mem- bers of the Association, Student Comicil and all committees. All enactments in the Student Council or Association shall be by a ma- jority vote and a majority of the members of the Association is necessar}- for a quorum. Ten members in the Student Council constitute a quorum of that bodv. f . I ' Tlicx zchoii! truth a)id zcisdoiii lead 195 l i ' .

It was not because they were dissatisfied with the affairs as they were then conducted, but rather because they realized the benefits that would come from the co-opera- tion of students and administration for governmental purposes. Ininieiliately after this form of government was adopted the boys of North Hall began to work toward a goal, the ideal governing sys- tem. A meeting of all men living in the dormitory was called and a constitutional committee was appointed. Within the next few weeks a constitution was lrawn u]i and presented to the men for apjiroval. After a few necessary changes it was accepted by the group. This constitution provided for, first, a student council, which acted as an executive body to make North Ilall a real home; second, a scholastic committee, to form a link lietween the faculty and students and thus discover and provide for the few deficient men ; third, social commit- tees, wdiose purpose was to provide for the social affairs of the associ- ation. The success of this organization is entirely in the hands of the men who reside in North Hall. The selection of officers who truly represent them should be their first concern. • y %  196 ' ' ' ' ' ' ' - ' ' ' ' - ' • r ' A _r - j 1 Vr The Governing Board The lioNXTiiing J ' .oard (.)f llic WdnK-n ' s Student ( Icnernment Association is an organization which has come into existence through the new constitution whicli has recently been adopted by the women students of the college. It consists of members from each oi the va- rious classes represented in Waller Hall. These memliers are nomi- nated and elected by the students at appointed times, and hold office for one year. The purpose of this board of directors is to make and administer regulations for all matters pertaining to the WHmen ' s Dormitory life. However, it is necessary that all the students co-operate in order to make our Student Government ( )rganization what it ought to be. We are just in the beginning of what, we hope, will soon be a strong and worthy organization. There is yet much to be accom- plished, but we feel that the foundation has been laid.

W. C. A. Since the opening days of the school year, when the Y girls began by acting as Big Sisters to the new girls, everyone has come to recognize them as girls who are willing to help whenever and how- ever they can. Freciuentlv thev have been called on to aid in social activities of the school other than those two big affairs which belong exclusively to the Y. ' . — the annual welcome reception and the Japanese Bazaar. Through the co-operation of every one. both of these big events have been very successful this year. The organization has tried to be a benetit to everyone in the school. During this term, the Wednesday evening meetings have been careful])- planned. A schedule of leaders has been posted and each girl has tried to find something new for her program. W ' e have en- joyed hearing from various members of the faculty and from our own students who have so freely expressed their opinions. We have had printed questions and topics which have led to lively discussions, and moving pictures of Y work have been shown. It is not surprising that many girls have not missed a single meeting. Bloomsburg has been represented at all the important conferences this vear — at Stroudsburg, at Eagles ? Iere and at West Chester. Our writing would not be complete without mention of Miss Ma- son, our competent advisor, who has won the admiration of all the girls. Now that we have selected our new cabinet for 1928 we hope that thev will enjoy the work as much as we ha e. and we wish them suc- cess in everything that they undertake. 214 f ijjw l I. Y. W. C. A.

I ' .xery member realized that participation rather than observation tends to bring about permanent knowledge. The activities of the club were varied so that the members would receive general as well as specific knowledge of the modern methods of jjresenting the literary material. ( )ne of these methods which was used quite extensively by the club and which we all had the pleasure of observing when it was presented in chapel is dramatization. The method calls for the dramatic reproduction of scenes of a book or the characterization of some of the famous characters. Other means the club used to obtain their objective are: Collections of pictures illustrating authors or their books. Oral reading. Games. Use of slides ami lantern. With such interesting work to be conducted by the club we can expect big things from it in the future and look forward to the time when it will become Bloomsburg ' s leading extra-curricular activity. 218 i0 ' y0 K A- ' Iiiuujination rules the iLunld ' 219 .1m u j,u  ii i, ij MiMh d d t U i Geographic Society Tlic Bloomsljurg ( ieographic Society was first organized in 1926.

The members of our club are graduates of cither of the two high schools which are in the city with the many electrical works — namely, Scranton. Since the first electric car was operated in Scranton. wc thought it would be interesting and appropriate to so name our cIuIj. This clul) was organized for the ]nir])ose of furthering social ac- tivities at this college and for the jnirpose of promoting better under- standing and lietter friendships l)etween the graduates of the Scran- ton high schools. The niemljers of our cluli arc full of life, and they certainly showed their pep at the se eral social functions which were held by the club. (Jne of the most enjoyable parties was the one for the initia- tion of the luniors. Another successful function was a card party held for the members of the club. Scarcely anything needs to be said about it, for those who were there need not be reminded of the en- joyable time that was had by all. We, the members of the Electric City Club, feel that our organiza- tion has really been a success. This success, however, has come only through the faithful co-operation of our members, and through the loyal work of our faculty advisor, Miss Johnston. Words cannot ex- press the deep gratitude we feel toward her, but she will know how we feel when we say just this, She is a peach ! The first officers of the club were: President, Raymond Hodges; Vice President, Margaret Hill ; Secretary, Mary Mulford : Treasurer, Margaret Oswald.

As is the case with all good clubs, it is necessary to set down specific aims. The Nanticoke Clul has set down the following: 1. The elevation (jf the scholastic standards of the group in gen- neral and each individual in particular. 2. The promotion of the social life of its meml)ers. Although it is not yet one year old this organization has made a permanent niche for itself in the life of Bloomsburg .State Teachers College. The energy, ambition, and perseverance with which the members attack their work have made their meetings resemble the proverbial bee hive.

K ' ' iiJi ' i ' - ' ' S pl ' y each year as well as many one-acts. Last year the long ])lay was The Swan. by Fernac Mol- ner. It was heautifnlly staged and presented. In nineteen-twenty-seven the Club established the custom of pro- ducing for the public a play tournament composed of three one-act plays that had been jirex iously staged before the club. The three plays chosen last year were Trifles liy Susan Glaspell. The Trysting Place !))■ Booth Tarkington, and Hearts by Alice (jerstenberg. Trifles won first jilace in the tmirnainrnt. The great work of the Chili. howe er, lies not in the public pro- ductions but in the one-act plays ]5roduced at each weekly meeting be- fore the Club. Through these jilays the members acquire training in acting, directing, and [)ro(iucing. ( lur aim is not to produce stars but to recei ' e training so that we mav train others. The Club has recently lieen granted by the National Honor Dra- matic Fraternitw Ali)ha Psi Omega, the right to establish a chapter. Fifteen members of our Club have alreadv qualified. The officers of the Clul) are elected each semester. The officers for the present semester are ; Director President Vice Prcsiiirnt Secretary Treasurer Miss Alice Johnston - Cl. rexce Ruch Jack Fortxer - Florence Jones Ch. rles W.ad.as 1 • -  226 227 The Swan r)ne of the most anil)itious plays thf l iloonishurj ])layers have yet atteiiipled was The Swan. l)y I- ' eletie Mohiar. ' I ' his jjlay is one of the author ' s best and is jnire comedy in an excellent jjlot, clever dialogue, and a variety of clearly individualizecl characters. It depicts a chapter in the life of two royal families which includes an important incident in the life of Princess Alexandra as she makes her final de- cision between the tutor who Io ' es her whom for the moment she thinks she loves, and the Prince who oft ' ers her a throne. When the ctirtains were drawn for the first act on the night of April 30, 1927, there was exhibited the most beautiful and colorful stage set ever used in a play at the College. The costumes were correct in every detail and added to the beauty of the scene. The music was furnished by the College Symphony Orchestra un- der the direction of Miss Harriet Moore. The cast of characters was as follows : Princess Beatrice ----- Symphorosa, Her Sister - - - - Father Hyacinth, Her Brother Alexandra, her Daughter - - - - George, Son of Princess - - _ Arsen, Son of Princess - - - - Dr. Nicholas Agi - - - - Prince Albert ------ Princess Maria Dominica - - - Colonel W ' underlich ----- Countess ------ Caesar ------- Alfred ------- Chambermaid ------ Lackey ------ Gertrude Baucher Dorothy R.aup Archib. ld Austin k.xthrvx somers - Ned Raker Havex Fortner Blake Stokes Leo Moore r IiLDRED Rehm William Swixeh. kt - l rgaret coxe Fr. xcis Garritv Nicholas ' axBuskirk Maude O ' Coxxel George L tthe vs ...— ... i.-t . .

The play ])ortrays, with gooil humor and trutli. the efforts of a modern family to adjust themsehes to difficult circum- stances. The father meets with business reverses, but rather than see him sacrifice iiim elf the children rise to the occasion and all ends happily. All acts of the play took place in a modern living room, and the stage set was most attractive and cleverly arranged. Each member of the cast ])ortrayed his character in a way that showed hard and con- scientious work. The class had reason to be heartily congratulated in its initial activity.

Il was the first group to do so and also the last in the history of the school since the three-year course has heen discontinued. The most important activity of our or- ganization was the producing of the Middler Play. This was The New Poor. hy Cosmo Hamilton, and was staged the night of March 15, under the ahle direction of Miss Alice Johnston. The ])lay was very successfully ])roduced and was an achievement of which the Middlers might well he jiroud.

The Symjihouy this year is under the di- rection of Mr. H. F. Fenstemaker, a most capable director, who has ofifered his services most willingly. The success of the organization must not be judged from an indi ' idual point of view, for it not only affords great opi)ortunities for the music student. l)Ut it has become an integral part of the College, inasmuch as it plays for all dramatic pro- ductions and has presented several chapel programs. There arc about twenty-five in the ensemljle, trained to a degree of perfection tiiat is unusual in a student organization. The orchestra members take joint interest in their work since the weekly rehearsals are perfectly attended, irrespective of the fact that attendance is vol- untary. It is an organization of good spirit and comradeship. Selections and r)vertures from the light operas and symphonies have been generously jilayed at the arious college fimctions and chapel programs. This year the orchestra played at the production given by the Bloomsburg Players and the comedy, So This Is London, pre- sented by the members of the Freshman Class. Aside from the stu- dent activities, the orchestra has played for the annual College Night of the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs of Bloomsburg. Each spring a granil display of the musical accomplishments of the orchestra is presented in the form of a Spring Concert ; this alone speaks for the organization. The officers of this organization are as follows : President - Vice President Secretary - Treasurer Librarian Conductor Edg. r E.

Koch and tin- directorshij) of its leader, Phillip Kester. From a six-piece orchestra it has develojjed into a combination of ten pieces possessing the synchronium, harmony, and rhythm so essential to success. Practically every night we danced to and enjoyed the music sujiijlied b ' this well directed grouj) of musicians. . lthough the point has not yet been reached where we can dispense with outside orchestras we predict that before many months have passed the Maroon and Gold Orchestra will be supplying the music for all our social affairs. Among the arious social events for which the orchestra supplied music are the following: Friday Evening Dances in the Gym. Hallowe ' en Dance Christmas Frolic. Japanese Bazaar. . nnual joint Meeting of Kiwanis and Kotary Chilis. The following are the members of the orchestra : Phillip Kester — Director Theodore Davis W.

The gymnasium in its fantastic decorations and i id interpretations of the season, was a charming asjject for those who participated in the enjoyment of the evening. The ' alentine Dance was held in the gymnasium on Friday evening, Februarv 10. As usual, the colorfui appearance of the gym- nasium lent spirit to all who attended. We tried to make it a social function of the first luagnitude. and judging from the good time every- one seeiued to ha e had, we have reason to think that the affair was a great success. These vari ous occasions could not ha e been undertaken and planned without the co-operation of students and faculty.

Accompanying this something like its shadow comes the thud of a i)igskiii as it is met by the toe of a shoe. The longing for action became evident when the initial call for football candidates was made. Manager Frymire was called ujwn to deliver every available uniform in the school. Men were anxious , _. to don their suits. So they journeyed to Mount r | 1 3 )lympus where work was started to mold together — ' -- ' a strong team. They had a real task before them — the sched- ule was the hardest our school had undertaken in a long time ; the team was composed of raw material and the candidates were unusually light. They had Coach Booth, a past master in the coaching game, and Assistant Coach Jones to aid them in their struggles. The team sutiered greatly from injuries during the season. Ray Hawkins, captain and tackle, played the season with a recently fractured leg which inter- fered considerably with his playing. Army Keller, quarterback, sustained a broken bone in the hand during the West Chester game which kept him from playing for the remainder of the season. Clarence Ruch, center, suffered a badly sprained ankle in one of the early games. This handicapped his work through- out the season. Delmore, a guard, was forced out of the game with a frac- tured leg sustained in scrimmage. Zimmerman, halfback, sutTered a wrenched ligament in the liack. Besides these there were many minor injuries. In spite of all this the team enjoyed a fairly successful season. Ray Hawkins, whose competency and ability as a leader of men was un- questioned, piloted his team masterfully. When football season is again ushered in, we should find Bloomsburg represented by a team of veterans led by the captain-elect for 192S, Alexander Kraynack, a man worthy of the confidence placed in him by his fellow teammates. The season opened on (Jctober 1 with Kutztown Normal as our opponents on Mount )lympus and we won by a score of 30-0. The following Saturday Stroudsburg was our guest and we were defeated in a close game by the score 6-0. Then came a disastrous trip to West Chester where we were defeated and many of our boys were injured and forced out of the game for the remainder of the season. Keystone came here and we were handed another setback. The team journeyed to Kingston where they met their ancient rivals, Wyoming Seminary, and they were pushed back another notch. Lock Haven was next and we de- feated them 12-6, but lost on the following Saturday at Mansfield. We finished up by humbling Dickinson Seminary Ijy a score of 7-6.

Coach I ' oolh issucil a call for all candidates for the basketball team. I lis call was answered by the largest number of men to turn out for basket- ball at this institution in many years. Among the applicants were sexcral memljers of last year ' s team, namely: Nick X ' anRuskirk, last year ' s captain and star furward: Red Garrity and Joe Wadas, forwards; McGrath. center, and Fisher, a guard. Among the new men to report were Kirker and Yacobonis. guards, and Morgan, a forward, all clestined to give a good account of ihemsehes in the coming season. To lead this group it was inevitable that a good man must be chosen. Leo McGrath. be- cause of his aljility and competency as a leader was elected captain, and piloted his team through a most successful season. The lioys had a real task to undertake : the schedule was the hardest our school had for many years. They had Coach Booth, a real leader and past mas- ter in the coaching game, to aid them. The managing burden fell upon the shoul- ders of Faculty Manager E. H. Nelson and . student Manage: Ralph E. Davies. Meeting teams of the State Teachers College and ])reparatory schools and academies the team proxed its mettle in every game. Although defeated in a few of its games, it always made the opposing team travel at a terrific pace to win. As proof of this we refer you to the close margins by which the opposing teams were victorious. When the basketljall season is again ushered in. we shall find the Maroon and Gold Quintet led by Captain-elect Red (iarrity because of his ability and his being worthy of the confidence jilaced in him by his fellow team-mates. The season opened on Deceml)er 21. at home, when we met and defeated a team composed of former stars of this school. Xe.xt came the highly rated Free- land M. and M. Institute, whom we also defeated, making it two in a row. The third game was lost bv one point at Kutztown, this being our first set- back for the season. We easily defeated Bucknell Freshmen and then dropped another, this time to the strong St. Thomas College team at Scranton. Then came our ancient rivals, Wyoming Seminary. In a hard-fought game our l)oys were nosed out at the final period and defeated liy the small margin of two points. Easy victories were gained oxer Lock Haven anil Mansfield, and then all thoughts were turned toward avenging the defeat handed us earlier in the season by St. Thomas College. We defeated them in a very close game by a single point margin. We were also avenged by defeating the strong Wyoming team, this being the first victory over our ancient rivals in three years. Then there was easy sailing for the boys, bumping off Freeland ] L and M. Institute, Dickinson Seminary for two games, Lock Haven, Mansfield, and Gettys- burg Academy. The season ended rather disasterously by dropping three games to Shippensburg, East Stroudslnirg, and Millersville, resjiectixely, by narrow 250 11 II Basketball Sittiiif .V aiidiiig KkaYxNACK T. V.

This was proven once more by the Junior Varsity who, without glory or praise, spent night ;ifter night on the gym floor taking the huni])s of practice without the least com- |)l:iint. Caiitain Bob Wilson capably filled liis ]i(jsiiion with a sense of leadership that commanded tiie respect of both the fans and his team. He jjossessed a combination of good judgment and fast floor work wliich made him a valuable asset to his men. Coach Jones is the answer to the sec- ond reason for the success of the Junior VarsitN ' . The iualit ' of his abilitv is adcquatelv portraved in his team. Jhe team, composed of individuals working with clock-like co-ordination produced a high percentage of efficiency that though a few times defeated was second to none in their class. A strong defense that was developed to capacity, fully displayed their skill by holding all their opjionents to a comparatively low score. With an exceptionally hard schedule the boys were ictorious in all but two games at home and the same number away. The team, rather than any par- ticular player, was the primary feature and no individual credit can justly be given to any one man. The whole squad possessed excellent floor generalship which is highly essential to make up of a team.

A large number of candidates reported for duty, and among them were many vet- erans who had previously seen service with the Maroon and Gold. Joseph Bradshaw. reputed to be one of tlie best backstops that ever graced our diamond, was elected cap- tain of the team, and no one doubted Joe ' s ability as a past master of the game or his crjH. ' — ..,, - ' leadership in baseball. Among the other members to return were two members of our star outfield. Red (iarrity and Bill Rushin. Eddie Yarashefski, who had played in the infield the previous year, filled the other position in the trio that played a season of errorless ball Bernard Roan bore in a most capable manner the brunt of the mound duty, while Archie Austin and Leo McGrath could be counted on to fill two of the infield positions. Among the new men to report were: pitchers. Evans and Fritz, who gave a good account of themsehes : infielders, W ' adas. Slusser. Wilson, Coursen. and Kraynack. who all did excellent work throughout the season. Doyle Ivey had been named student manager of the team. All of which indicated that Bloomsburg. under the supervision of Coach Booth, was represented by a well balanced nine. Playing a superior brand of ball throughout the season, the honor of claiming the baseball championship of the State Teachers Colleges of 1927 was won by the devotees of Bloomsburg State Teachers College. The season opened at home on April 9 when we met and defeated the Free- land Alining and Alechanical Institute by the overwhelming score of 25-0. The following Saturday we entertained the strong Keystone Academy tribe in a hard fought game and came out on top. The next week-end was a hard one for our boys. They played Keystone on Friday afternoon and East Stroudsburg on Sat- urday, and won their third and fourth games of the season. Then came the only defeat handed us by a State Teachers College. In a ten-inning game we were de- feated by Shippensburg by the small margin of one point. The next three games were won and then our boys journeyed to Kingston where they were defeated by our ancient rivals, Wyoming. Our final game with East Stroudsburg was for- feited to us by a score of 1-0. Following is a list of the games played : Saturday, April 9— B. S. T. C. 25 Saturday, April 23— B. S. T. C. 2: Friday.

When Coach Bootli issued a call for can- didates the largest squad in the his- torj ' of the sport responded. Lec- tures and demonstrations on posi- tion and form occu])ied the early days of the season. Then the work began in earnest. Every day the track in the gym was used by the men. Just as soon as it was pos- sible to do so the candidates were ordered out on the field where all work wa.-i turned over to Assistant Coach Jones. The few weeks before the Annual University of Pennsylvania Relay Carnival were devoted to getting the men who composed the mile relay team into the ]iink of condition. This task was iKjt difficult as each individual realized that the school ' s reputation was at stake. With only a day to wait and the team rarin to go it was discovered that unlooked-for circumstances would make it impossible for the Bloomsburg team to participate. Although disappointed, the boys were not discouraged. With added zest they began preparation for the annual triangular meet to be held at Dickinson Semi- nary. The aim of the entire squad was to equal or sttrpass the brilliant record of our first track team that had won more first places than all other teams com- bined. It was at this time that a serious difficulty was encountered. The ma- jority of the men entered in the field events were also members of the baseball team, and it was only by tremendous efforts that they were able to keep up the training of both sports. Even so they worked hard and we had isions of re- peating our earlier success. One of the largest teams that ever represented our College journeyed to Wil- liamsport on the day of the meet. Among the young men making up the squad we had only Davies, Austin, and Rushin with experience. The performance of Daxies was especially remarkaljle. EiUered in jjractically every event, he seldom failed to place. As a result he was one of the highest individual scorers for the day. A few of the untried men also showed up well. Army Kellar was the out- standing inexperienced performer, having a goodly number of points to his credit. The brilliant jierformance of these individuals could not ofTset the well balanced teams of our opponents, and we were forced to bow in defeat. Iiitoscholastic Track Meet Following the program of furthering high school athletics, Bloomsburg State Teachers College again held its annual Interscholastic Track Meet. This track meet had, as its outstanding events, the establishment of a new high school ' s world record for the javelin throw. Ryscavage, of Plymouth, tossed it 167 feet 4 inches. Xot until the last race had been run was the winner. Lock Haven. determined. ii ' Miis . ■ saa Track Team Left to Right T. W.

Then, out on the f, ' ridiron dashed the ho]je of the ujiper-classmen. These ho s were determined to set their rivals hack and jj;et revenjje for the defeat handed the upper-classmen the previous year. Coached hy F.ckie Kraynack, the team developed into a smooth workins combination. The upper-classmen chose Red Garrity to lead them in the strife, and his go(jd judgment was evidenced before the game had jirogressed very far. The I ' reshmen won the toss and elected to recei e. Wilson kicked to Sekulski who was stojjped on his own twenty-yard line. After a few attempts by the lumbering backs of the F reshmen to crash the line, they decided to punt. The punt was received bv Wilson who gave a pretty exhibition of open field run- ning. The Ijall was advanced to the ten-yard line and then one of the highly e.x- cited backs fumbled and the ball was recovered by a Freshman. The ball see- sawed back and ftirth until the third C|uarter when ' ital managed to pick tip a fumble and ran for a touch-down, making the score 6-0 in favor of the upper- classmen. Tax Davis missed the goal. Near the end of the game Edmunds made a pretty run of tackle for another touchdown. This time Tax came through with the extra point and the game ended with the upper-classmen on the long end of a 13-0 score.

The original tournament was composed of four teams, Bloomsburg. Danville, Berwick, and Newjjort Township that battled for the honors that went to the latter team. Since then the number of teams competing has been increased. First from four to six, then to eight, and now the number has reached sixteen. With the admi.ssion of sixteen teams it was necessary to extend the tournament o er two week-ends. This year the tournament was conductetl by Coach T. W. Booth and Mr. 1 . H. Nelson, with sixteen teams competing; West Pittston, Sunbury, Forty Fort, Hanover, Edwardsville, Nanticoke, Bhthe Township. Exeter. Dickson City. G. A. R., Coaldale, Plymouth. Wyoming. Bloomsburg.

These numerals are the result of many hours of hard work on the part of their owner. The girls who are wearing these numerals must have at least a B grade in posture, and must have jjarticipated in the fnllnwing sports: Hockey, Basketball, ' olleyball and Baseball, which are major sports and Hiking and Tennis, which are minor sports. To receive numerals, a girl must have at least one hundred points in a minor sport, and two hundred points i n a major sport. The girls who have received these numerals should be given credit for taking jiart in these activities during their leisure time. The numerals should be an incentixe for the girls to continue in their athletic work to earn their letters.

' Willie — Swim, swam, swum. Teacher — Now conjugate the verb ' to dim. ' Willie — Say, you ' re trying to kid me. Lavelle — Say, Ed, did you hear about the Scotchman wiio just went insane? Richards — No. let ' s hear it. Lavelle — He bought a score card at the football game and neither team scored. Krafchick wants to know if a cafeteria is a hysterical calf. Anna Turri — Have you heard the Tuxedo song? Kitty Johnson — No, let ' s hear it. Anna Turri — Though you belong to somebody else tonight you belong to me. Ex. — Do you take much interest in girls? Ray — Don ' t bother me, that ' s only a petty matter. AMBITION Frosh (watching a football game) — Gee, I wish I were a man. Conductor — Eve been on this train seven years. Tarn Kirker (hoping soon to be in Millersville) — That so? Where did you get on? Evancho — Say, Coach, how was my leg motion and my time in that last half mile? Coach Booth — Two flat. Evancho — Minutes ? Coach — Eeet. One of our bright little Freshmen who wrote home that he had three cuts, received a first aid outfit in the return mail. Bibs Ward — Who is that Bozo with all the books ? Marion Kemper — He ' s one of those guys that came here for an educatii-in. Miss Kulp — Try this one: Put the cow in tlie pasture? What Mood? Nancy Zorkas — The cow. They stood together face to face. Their arms were clasped in tight embrace, They couldn ' t be parted, they didn ' t flincli. They were two boxers in a clinch. Little Boy to Tom Welsko — Sa, mister, is College really like it is in the movies? Tom Welsko — Sure, sonny, wliy? Little Boy — Then watcha carryin books for, Mister. Huh? We boys hate to see the winter approaching. It was so cold in North Hall last winter even the wind was always howling about it. Prof. Shortess — Gentlemen, I am dismissing you ten minutes early today. Please go out quietly so as not to wake the other classes. 285 i i Jaffiii — Professor Hiirtliiu-, you nni; t liavi- madt- a mistake in giving mc E on this paper. Prof. Hartline — Young man I very seldom make mistakes. Have you seen my Secretary? Jaffin — Oh, boy, have I — I guess you ' re right. On an average three liuiulred residents of Chicago die annually from lead poisoning. Nyhart — You know, Palsgrove, Theodore Roosevelt said : ' Thorough knowledge of the Bible was worth more tlmn a College education. ' Palsgrove — A thorough knowledge of anything is worth more than an education. Mary Youtz — What ' s the matter with that young Scotch student ' - Teloiv Wagner — Oh, he just got a shine and then remembered that they were his room- mate ' s shoes. When Noah sailed the ocean blue, He had his troubles same as you, For forty days he drove the Ark, Before he found a place to park. Tourist — Say, can you tell mc where I can get some gas? Old Farmer — Hey? Tourist — No, gas, this ain ' t a horse it ' s an automobile. He — Please. She— No. He — Oh, please do. She — Positively, no. He — Please, just this time? She — I said no. He — Aw, Ma, all the boys go barefoot now. About the only time the average wife will listen to her husband is when he talks in his sleep. Tramp — Say, Buddy, could you lend me a quarter? Dan Miner — Sorry, I ' m a College student. Tramp — Excuse me. Here ' s two bits. Shorty Edmunds — WTiat ' s the matter? Ruch — I washed a dirty piece of ice in hot water and now I can ' t find it. Then there ' s the Scotchman who sent his girl a rose bush, so she could grow her own flowers. Close makes the Scotclunan. Ben Miller — I got mad at Devine and he wouldn ' t pay me the ten-bucks he owes me. Bobby Wilson — You should have remained calm and collected. Fluffy Snyder — What is usually done with tlie holes of doughnuts? Anita Rodda — They ' re used to stuff Macaroni. College is just like a washing machine; you get out of it just what you put in — but you ' d never recognize it. Sekulski — So you say your girl is false? Delniore — Yea, Bo, she falls for everything. The old-fashioned family doctor is disappearing. So is the old-fashioned family. Many a College student goes to sleep a Fresliman and wakes up to find himself a Senior. First Co-ed — What are you going out for this year? Second Co-ed — I think Til go out for the fullback. Prof. Wilson — Mr. Slusser, it gives me great pleasure to give you sixty in English. Arty Slusser — Why don ' t you make it ninety and have a heck of a good time. Coach — So you want to come out for football, do you? What experience have you had? MacGrath — Well. I played end in a minstrel once. Lives of great men all remind us. As their pages o ' er we turn, TItat we ' re apt to leave behind us Letters that we ought to burn. Rodda — I don ' t like my Prof, in Animal Biology. Stoddard — How come? Rodda — I asked him today how long a man could live without brains, and he replied, by wanting to know how old I was. Lady (at Columbia Theater to man in seat behind her) — I hope my hat is not worry- ing you? j| Man — It is worrying me. My wife wants one like it. II Dombrowski — If looks could kill, I ' d assasinate you with a glance. Bohn — If looks could kill it would be suicide for you to use a mirror. Snyder — Is Morrisey dumb? Jaffin — He is so dumb he thinks the St. Louis Cardinals are appointed by the Pope. |l Yeager — Does your new girl know much about automobiles? Bob Dew — I ' ll say she don ' t.

Prof. Hartline — I know it, but it ' s the lowest mark there is. Janet Hasting — That ' s a bum number. Dorothy Evans — What? Janet Hasting — The song of the Vagabond. You have to hand it to the College man : It takes brains to walk forward and at tlie jame time step on your pants in the back. Ed Wallace — When you start to kiss a girl, do you close your eyes? ' ' Jimmy Williams — No, she generally closes them for me. Sara Lawson — Dearie, is your fiance a far-sighted man? Harriet Roberts — I think so. He had a five-dollar seat at the Tumiey and Dempsey fight. Ruth Guest — Don ' t you think that woman looks like a lovely flower? Beatrice Sanford — Yes, like one of those century plants. Prof. Fisher (after lengthy explanation of Philosophical Theory ' ) — And now are there any questions? Voice in Rear — What time is it? Two can live as cheap as one, provided the first two are Scotch. Our idea of the strongest man in the world is one who takes two pianos, stands them on end. and plays them as an accordion. Prof. Reams — I see your coming to my classes quite regularly, Mr. Janell. Janell — Yeah, I ' m suffering with insomnia something terrible. Muely — Say, Hawkie, who refereed the Alumni game here this year? Hawkie — Why, Hagen-booth. Muely — Well, I know Booth, but who ' s this guy Hagen? Frymire — Army Keller plays great football. His dodging, tackling, and interference are perfect. Ivey — Yes, I heard tliat he got his experience early in life when he went shopping with his mother on bargain days. i 287 i Red — I ' ve hfcii critiri A-d qiiiti- a hit by some of the school ' s Smart Alecks for using poor grammar. Now I have three good reasons for this: 1 — I don ' t know any better. 2 — Half of you wouldn ' t know or understand it if I did use it. 3 — If I did s|)eak and write correctly I might be managing soirie big N ' ew York paper at a large salary and you farmers would lose the best Editor in Bkx msburg. Florence Regan — Who was that Collegian you were witli last night? Dot O ' Conner — Tliat was no Collegian, that was Knierim. Teacher — Johnnie, can you tell me what a Road Hog is ? Jolmnic — A road hog is a fellow who gives you half of the road; the other half he gives you is the half on either side of him. Readier — Hey, dija know Ida? Yacobonis — Ida who? Readier — Idunno. Give me your money or I ' ll blow your brains out, commanded the holdup. The intended victim calmly laughed in a manner that showed that he didn ' t care about either — He was a College Student. Miss Ward (to milkman) — Well, it looks like rain. Milkman — Mebbe so, but it ' s milk. Dan Paris — The early Colonists were a crafty bunch. Pat George — How so, my friend, how so? Dan Paris — Haven ' t you heard how they framed the Constitution? Prof. Bakeless — I ' ll give you one more day to hand in that report. Jimmy Williams — Yes, sir; make it the Fourth of July. Senior — Where did you get the five bucks? Second Senior — I sold a freshman my book of telephone numbers and adu.- sse ■. Dean Sutliff — Give me your parents ' names. Tom Henry — Papa and Mamma. Marie Price — Elsie Lebo is the most optimistic girl I ever knew. Keho — How so? Marie Price — Well, she tore a brand new pair of hose and said, ' Anyway I got a run for my money. ' Elsie — Open up. Jack, and tell me why the big L on your sweater? Jack Fortner — - Oh, I got that for playing football here at Bloomsburg. Elsie — Do tell, I thought Bloomsburg began with a B. Jack — Well, it ' s this way, I played on the second team. Richards — The idea of letting your girl tell the world she made a man of you. You don ' t hear my girl saying that about me. Muley — No, but I heard her tell Peg that she had done the best she could. Hook Merrick — Kraffy, did you see a girl going around the Campus in a bathing suit and hip boots? Krafchik — Jiminie Kritmets, no. did you? Hook Merrick — No. One Co-ed says she likes men who know their onions, but her girl friend insists that she likes men who know what the examination questions are going to be. Coach Booth — There is nothing that will bring about a player ' s downfall as quickly as a case of vanity. Ralph Davies — Oh, I don ' t know. I ' ve seen plenty of them fall for vanity cases. Everybody makes mistakes that ' s why they put mats under cuspidors. If Sitting Bull had a good looking daughter, would he call her Sitting Pretty?
