Haas was hoiii in Philadelphia, receiving his ele- mentary and secondary education in the public schools of that city. Following his graduation in IDO-i from the old Central High School, he entered the Philadelphia School of Pedagogy to begin ])reparation for entering the profession of teaching. In 1906 he took his first teaching position in the Kenderton Ele- mentary School. When the practice department of the School of Pedagogy was reorganized in 1913, Dr. Haas was chosen as one of the four demonstration teachers to assist in the j rejiaration of male teachers for the ])ublic schools of Philadel])hia. I ater he became a member of the educational faculty of this same institution. After three years in the School of Pedagogy he was elected to the i)rinci pal- ship of an elementary school. In the five years following he had successive charge of three such schools. Along witli his work he contiiuied his professional preparation; receiving his Bachelor ' s Degree from Temple University in 1913; the degree of Master of Arts from the University of Pennsylvania in 1922; the Pd.D. from Temjjle University in 1927. and in addition sj)ent a semester at Columbia University. He was called to the State Department of Pennsylvania in 1920. at which time he became assistant director of the Teacher Bu reau. He assisted in the formulation of the imi)roved teacher standards that became effective in 1920 under the Kdmond ' s Act. In 1922 lie was j)romote(l to the directorship of the Administration Bureau. He was made Dejnity Superintendent of Public Instruction in 1924, and succeeded Dr. J. George Becht as State Superintendent in 192.5. Dr. Haas is 4.5 years old, and has three children, Francis. Mary, and Jean.

He has achieved success who lias hved well. lauf he(l often, and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelli- gent men and the love of little children: who has tilled his niche and accomplished his task ; who has left the world bet- ter than he found it. whether hy an ini])n)ved ))o])py, a per- fect ])oem. or a rescued soul; who has looked for the best in others and  iven the best that he had; whose life is an inspi- ration; whose memorv is a benediction. § Such is our estimate of Mr. Hakeless. He has fulfilled to the finest degree the meaning of the word reacher. Through his classes he has taught many things, but by his life and influence he has taught more of honor, love, friendshij). duty to oneself and one ' s fel- lowmcn than any mere rnn-icuhini could contain. His work with the Art Iveague has brought to this school beauty and appreciation of the beautiful seldom seen and found elsewhere. By his wide reading he has challenged and stinuilated the minds of many students to an under.standing of literature. y his wit .uid humor he has endeared himself to the classes of the past until it is with a great deal of regret that wc say (ioodbye to a true Christian Gentleman. m ri ' isX ' c ' s:i-r5fi T j5 iQaQ I S I QJBl 1 OBITER If I i C£ 9 a Q |sS9. g o ggv . g ' gvsa ?8w;aa ? s ia ffl| I s s I I M , OBITER bJfxi issyJZ tn;i t rc i r£ s i.KsJz ri a j: i FOREWORD As the symbol of the s])irit of school hfe.

Dean of Men U M- T sr 29 OBITER Community Government Association The Community Government Association of our college was organized during the second semester of 1927. The membership of this organization is composed of all members of the faculty and registered students. The Association has for its ob- ject co-operation, with the responsible authorities in promoting personal and group responsibilities in guiding and regulating the affairs of all students under the juris- diction of the col lege. When the Constitution was drafted the members of the committee realized the necessity of close co-operation for the successful functioning of this body so they provided that a meeting of the Association be held at least once a month plus any other meetings called by the President u])on ])etition of twenty members. They aimed to give equal and just re])resentation to men and women of all the classes. In order to carry on the work of the Association four officers of good scholar- ship, citizenship, and conduct were elected by the members of the Association for a term of one year. The President must be a Senior of the four-year course. All other officers may be members of either of the remaining classes except the Fresh- man class. Officers of the Association are: George Mathews - - - M. iDRUE O ' Coxxell R.WMOXD HODHES - - - Ch. RLES W.4D. S - - - President I ' ice President Secretari Treasurer Student Council 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. Rep- resentation in the Council is based in classes. Each class elects two representatives, a man and a woman. The day students or commuters also elect two representatives, one of each sex. The Council meets once every two weeks on a day agreed upon by this body. Matters of minor importance are taken up in Council and the work is disposed of in that way while matters of major importance and consideration are referred to a committee, the chairman of which must be a member of the Council is appointed by the President. After an investigation, the matter is presented to the Council by the Chairman at the next meeting and action is taken in the Council. All recom- mendations must be approved by the President of the College, Besides the student representatives, the President of the College, the Dean of Instruction, the Dean of Women, the Dean of Men, the Director of Teacher Train- ing, are members of the Association, Student Council, and all committees.

Knowing Miss Patterson we had no difficulty in solving that prohleni. We immediately chose her as our Advisor. Miss Patterson was born and reared in Jackson. Ohio. After grad- uating from high school she attended Ohio University, at Athens. Ohio. Later she received her diploma from the Oberlin Conservatory, at Ober- iLn. Ohio, and her A.B. from the University of DePauw. Greencastle. In- diana. Her advanced work was done at Cornell and New York Uni- versities. She has had considerable experience in her profession, having taught in the Music Department of the DePauw University and having served as Director of Music in the public schools of Greensburg. Pa. Miss Pat- terson has been a member of the Bloomsburg Teachers ' College faculty since 1921. The class of 1929 appreciates her sincerity and helpfulness. We have found her to be a real friend.

Oh, yes, she s the blonde of that gang from fourth floor who is always laughing and full of pep. But we can re- member the time she wasn ' t so happy. Last year she went home every week-end, but now she almost dreads going home for holi- days. What caused the change ' - We don ' t like to comment, but between you and me, abroad-shouldered light-haired football hero from Bloom is responsible. We don ' t know much about the significance of names, but Steiner sounds as if it might be Dutch. Eleanor and one of her room-mates, Peg, can be found any evening at 4.:10 in the Martha Washington drinking tea, or anv night at 9:30 in the press room frying cheese. The ukulele music from 483 shows that she is musically inclined. Her favorite songs are I Can ' t Give You Anything But Love, and That ' s My Weakness Now. She has an artistic hand which was af- firmed by her appointment to Art Editor of this book. She is a member of the Alpha Delta Zeta Sorority, and is supervisor of fourth floor. To a true friend and a loyal classmate of ' 29. we wish her the best of success and happiness. LILLL4N W. ANDERS Fell High School Simpson. Pa. •Lil Small of stature But great of mind. That is our Lillian. Lillian is one of our industrious, ener- getic, and studious girls. She finds time for work and time for play in all that she does. She is the kind of a girl who studies earnestly, and always has her work done. Lil always greets one with a smile and lielieves in mi.xing a little laughter with the serious aspects of life. As a student teacher .she has made coji- siderable progress; her attitude towards her work and her natural love for chil- dren tend to make her an ideal teacher. Although very studious she finds time to Join the large circle of friends which she has formed at B. S. T. C. Lillian ' s favorite sports are hiking, hockey, and basketball. She won her numerals dur- ing the first year. The B. B. A. Club claimed her as a member. We all wish Lillian the best of luck and success. rs S 19a 9 38 OBITER l ' ' 6 ALBERTA ANDRE Montrose High School .Montrose, Pa. Bert Bert was in one of her frequently no- ticed moods — hilariously laughing, a high sweet voice raised higher in protest and a kicking of tiny feet, when we entered. Our entrance created another mood, this time the mood was a coaxing one. She wanted to room with a girl from home, not for fear of heing hhie, hut .just ' cause it makes me feel at home. If one should have cause to worry ahout her studies with such iualities. all fears vanish when you catch her hurled in text- hooks. Friends, looks are deceitful ! We know from experience that College Humor is at the hottom of that grave of hooks. Beware of Bert when it ' s time for play. Often we have wondered if our Bert is really going through with her good be- ginning of teaching. Perhaps if we see her teach at the end of this year we will know for sure. We have always rather feared a shadow over her teaching — the shadow of a tall young man named — who knows? Mayhe she might change the name before we get around to read this again. But no matter what she decides to do, we wish her success and happiness. -MARGARET H. ANSTETT Trucksville High .School Trucksville, Pa. Peg Always happy, never sad, That ' s how Peg makes others glad. Don ' t know our Peg ? Step right up! Not very tall, five foot three to be exact, with light brown hair and eyes blue or gray as you wish, quiet and demure? Well, we thought so once, but then college does change one so. Peg at present shows great promise of becoming a bright light in the literary field. Head any of her mastcrjiieces, in the line of postscripts to letters written by the gang. Along with letter writing Peg has other accomplishments by which we will alwavs remember her. The uke under Peg ' s hand often added to the merriment of the occasion as did also Peg ' s fudge and taffy. Peg ' s one weakness, as we know her, is her stomach. . ny time, any jilace. any where Peg can be heard, Got anything to eat? Never mind, Peg, we like to eat, ourselves. As yet, Peg has not played the role of teacher, as her student teaching is reserved for .second semester. Her one concern at present is Berwick and whether or not she will be .sent there. Wherever she teaches we know she will he successful and our sincerest and best wishes follow her in any- thing she may do in later life. i 19 a 9 39 g | OBITER ||g; S fr g ig•VC g B .M Vg B | k ig ■ MP t| j m :: ' f _ B ELIZABETH M.

Her motto is, Have a smile for everyone you meet, and everyone will have a smile for you, and she certainly tries her hest to follow it all the time. Perhaps this is the reason why she has so many friends who love her dearly. She helieves in having a pood time and in helping others to do likewise. Nothing is ever too much trouble for Dixie to do. If there is something in the line of work to be done, call on Dixie and you will find her more than willing to do her share. She is very studicms and although she he- lieves in having a good time, says, Having your work u]) to date comes first, then fun. Did you say sports? Dixie is right there on the top o the heap. She is work- ing hard and expects to get a letter this year. We wonder what it is that causes Dixie to look out the window whenever siie can? Can it be that one of the boys from North Hall has caught her eye? One never can tell — we ' ll just have to sit and wait to find out. Cheer up, ' Dixie . We, your classmates and friends, wish you the best of luck and success in your future work. Keep your sunny disposition for this can bring you nothing but success and happiness. HELEN A. ASH Benton Vocational School Stillwater. Pa. .Ashie Helen is another of our ambitious stu- dents hailing from the vicinity of Benton. To know her is to love her. Her loving and lionest ways have won for her a host of friends. Although Helen never appears to be in a great rush she gets there early and waits for the others. She has chosen as her profession, school teaching, hut who can tell how soon she will drop this and take another. We often wonder of whom she is dreaming? Helen is a diligent worker but she finds plenty of time for play and you simply cannot get lonely with lier around. Com- plaining that her life depended too much on bells, she has moved from the Dormi- tory down town. Here ' s hoping she will always remember the parties in a certain third floor room. The primary work has appealed tr Helen. With her personality she will win the hearts and good will of her puj)ils as she has won ours. We all wish you the best of luck and success in vour work. !3[« :: ' :ii tft B g ffigaP5Hg Tr ggai 1 9 a Q 1 5? 40 i :: ; i j y Q- A g ) sri gy iri 3 !g I g j| OBIXER i MARION ELEANOR ASHWORTH Nescopeck High School Nesoopeck, Pa. Marion This little prirl from our locker room gang comes from the big town of Wapwallopen and we all ho])e that the town will send us many more lil e Marion. Ready for work or play and serious about each — that ' s Marion. This perhaps, accounts for the fact that she numbers her friends by the dozens. Marion is very studious sometimes, these sometimes usually occurring right before a test is to be given. Then she is much worried about her lessons and can be found only in the library applying herself indus- triously. When we hear someone saying, Let ' s go down town, we know at once that Marion is tired of lessons and ready for a little recreation. Berwick has a big blonde attraction for Marion and this may account for her in- ability to study at home in the evening. Lots of luck, Marion, and all good wishes for your future success and hap])iness. LEONORA GRACE AUSTIN Forty-Fort Higli Scliool Forty-Fort. Pa. Toady Lee Dariin She ' s got eyes of blue. And she ' s .just five foot two. With her .smile as sweet a.s — ! She ' s my weakness now! Toady sure does love apples, and how ! She has said very often to her friends that, An apple a day will keep the diagnos- tician, the psychologist, the neurologist, the ear, eye, nose and throat specialist, the gastro-intestinal specialist and the head and skin specialist away. Fudge! Chocolate Cake! Toast I Tea! Jam! Rare specialties in the dorm but Toady always had a closet full, and mind you — she gave some to us, of course. She could eat! Toady would have her break- fast, luncheon, dinner and besides a dozen take a bite while you stand, or I think she would have wasted away, then we would have no Toady. Yes, mail was the chief factor in our darling ' s life. If she didn ' t receive at least six letters a day, there would he tears and howls for one whole day. Toady excells in tennis. Ask anyone that she has exchanged rackets with whether she can J ' lay ping-pong or not. R53 s 19 a 9 ga a aii 41 LvJVl SvC !S C ' T v : r V(05fl iX. j rv CCO: m, I 5 1 LILA E. BARBER Ualton High School Factoryville. Pa. Lila entered B. S. T. C. as a Fresliman with our class in September, 1927. Her pleasing personality and pleasant smile soon won her many friends among her class- mates. We surely believe tliat Lila recog- nizes the words of the poet, Laugh and the world laughs with you; sigh and you vigh alone. As a fact, this is true for you seldom see her when she is not joking and laughing about something. Lila is a good sport, always ready to go along when any- thing e.xciting is going on and willing to be the loser if such is the case. Lila is a real student. She never goes to class unprepared and you seldom see her without a book in her hand. She knows how to plan her work so as to not waste her time foolishly. If there is some lesson to prepare she does not spend a great deal of time dreading it, but rather settles down to work and does it. Sports are among Lila ' s hobbies. She loves to dance, play tennis, basketball, and baseball. For all this she lives up to the motto, Work before play, and we feel sure that this is the secret of her fine rec- ord with us as well as in High School. If you continue as faithful and earnest a worker in your own school as you have here, vour success as a teacher is assured. MARY M. BARTKO Villa Sacred Heart Academy Kiilpmont. I a. Slary The above picture speaks for itself. .Mary is dark, neat, and petite. We have all been attracted by her quiet, yet pleasing person- ality. This personality has attracted many who later became her friends. Mary is quite a student. She can always be found working very laboriously in the library. It seems that that is about the best place where her work can be done in the best possible way. That ' s right, Mary. We all agree with you, Two are better than one. But work as hard as she does we don ' t believe that she could get along without the fourth floor lobby. Mary does not take a great interest in sports. Why, we do not know. Perhaps time will tell.

VIVLW BASK IN Foster Townsfiip High School Drifton, Pa. •Viv Raskin is the sort of creature who will fit in any clime. Her disposition is one of sociability for when you are in her com- pany for two minutes, you feel as though somewhere — sometimes — you have met a real girl. Perhaps you have, but probably you have not. Like all girls, Ba.skin enjoys playing tricks on her schoolmates and it was the cleverness of these pranks that made us sit up and take notice. Eats, 9:30 sharp. She ' s there with bells on. In fact, Baskin is always ready to eat. She is Bush ' s most frequent cus- tomer. Chocolate fudge sundae seems to be her favorite dish and especially if she ' s with someone. There are smiles — Baskin smiles and smiles and smiles some more. Giggles, jokes, and even cries are Just some of the things she does and the only time she is very quiet is when she ' s asleep — and she doesn ' t snore either. A helping hand, a willing heart. Always ready for any part.

She loves teaching and we ' ll tell you why. Kiddies are her weaknesses, as one can tell when she describes one as having melting brown eyes. Mary has a clever sense of humor and her cheering, I ' ll help you, has saved many from a D. Her long arm is a big help in basketball, and her swift feet earned praise in hockey. Mary excels in all sports and enjoys her- self immensely, either playing or watching a clean game. We are sure Mary will make a success in her chosen field because she not only knows her subject hut can put it across.

She is studious, industrious and very digni- fied, although she never misses a laugh, dance, talk or song, if possible. She is one of the moving spirits of this year ' s class. With her quiet sense of humor and win- ning personality, she has made many friends, as well as kept the old, especially in the strong sex. However busy she is, . gnes is always ready to help one. She likes a good time as many of us can testify. A good sport is always a welcome person to any school. She aided many losing and winning sides of volley ball and hockey accomplish what they desired. We know by her success here at Bloom she will get results in all her undertakings and during the coming years will be suc- cessful. i |8SaZ G ' ' Jt g=g g g CC-ii -rJClrc JJ 19 2 9 44 I l c i i J 2 l N ' ) lx '  srl a- s iV ' J OBITER S LAURA JANE BENFIELD Conjngham Townsliip Hisli School Centialia.

Peg has been a friend to everyone, al- ways ready to lend a helping hand but never looking for a reward. Dark hair and blue eyes are Peg ' s greatest assets. Wherever she goes, some- one is sure to say, What pretty eyes, and this exactly describes them. We have heard that Peg writes a letter daily but like Postum — There ' s a reason. She is a devoted member of the Tau Kap- pa Phi Sorority and was a member of the Glee Club in her Junior year. Peg did her practice teaching in Ber- wick and if reports are true, she certainly was a success. We also have the report that she was always the center of the pranks that the student teachers played on each other. Peg is one of the little girls of our class but she is a verificatitm of the fact that, Good stuff comes in small ])ackages.

A pleasing personality and a cheerful disposition help in winning many friends for her. Loui.se is one of the industrious students and at any time you might see her busily engaged upon the next week ' s assignments. Two of her favorite sayings are, Xow, where did I put that book? and Oh, dear; I ' ll be late for class. As to being late for class we are doubtful of the fact. Not only studies interest Louise, for ex- tra-curricular activities come in for their share of attention. If you wish a faith- ful Y. W. C.

Elizabeth is a conscientious worker. When doing her student teaching she always aimed to please, but her answer generally was — Of course, I ' ll go along, but just wait a few minutes! Why she didn ' t go was be- cause she had to finish her lesson plan. Iz has a weakness too! She is quite fond of dancing but that plays second to her appetite. Every night at five o ' clock her usual saying was, Who knows what we are going to have for dinner? I ' m starved! Liz has an avocation, one which is very popular with the girls. This was the usual scene at Hartman ' s in Berwick, whenever there was a few minutes to play.

Drawing pictures is her fame — She certainly can make them great, But to be a teacher is her fate. How well do many of the girls know that Helen is somewhat of an artist. When they couldn ' t get some imaginary crea- ture to behave just as they wanted him to, they brought him to Helen to doctor. No matter if she was deeply involved in solving some of her own ditiiculties she never refused to lend a helping liand. l)ur Helen certainly must have a steadfast mind for although she is of the type gentlemen prefer, with big blue eyes and blonde hair, nevertheless lessons are of the first con- sideration. We also have often perused her mail, but have never seen anything of a suspicious nature. No matter wliat time of day or what day it is, the first thing seen on entering the room is Helen busily engaged in scmie- thing, if nothing else at least her favorite indoor sport — drawing. It is our belief that some day she will be a great artist, but as yet we are not going to say any- thing about it. She doesn ' t say much but still she can appreciate a joke. And hike — if you want to reduce, hike with Helen. We ' ll never forget, and rather imagine she won ' t, the day she hiked to IJght Street and then to Berwick — ouch, those blisters.

From the appearance of her mail box everyday, Peg should have lived in the days of knights, she ' s so fond of mail. Judging from outward appearance, one would think that Peg was beyond fear, but her most decided weakness is chicken feathers. Peg thinks they are not so bad when viewed from a distance, but dreads having them near her.

About the time we expect her to do something in accordance with her snappy appearance she does just exactly the opposite. Claire came to us from Berwick in 1927.

She is particularly well adept as forward. She is also a member of the Mu Phi Sigma. Claire is a rare type of a girl, and we have never known of any one like her. When our school days are ended we shall always think of Claire, as one of the writers ex- pressed it: You came like the wind, the life beget- ting; You went like flame at the sun ' s setting; You were swift as time, the unregretting; But Time will be dead when we are for- getting!

Mabel immediately proceeds to string off a menu a mile long and most of it is ap- plesauce. .Mabel, you know, is quite a favorite with our dining room Uonieos. These dining room romances are getting quite serious, but Mabel says she won ' t bother with any of them because her heart-strings are se- curely tied around someone in Dickinson, or is it Penn State? .Mabel is rather finicky about songs too. When Katink or Irene begin to sing, Mabel chirps up with something like this: Don ' t sing that one, or That one is too much for nie. or Sing this one, I feel like this tonight. We remember Mabel very jilainly as proc- tor in Long Hall. Mabel is very particular about noise after lights out. We remem- ber her standing like a sentinel outside Ma- bel Highfield ' s door. That ' s right, Mabel, Xo one is making noise while you ' re proc- toring, are they? ' ' ou surely can show your authority when you want to, can ' t you? Mabel ' s favorite sport is hockey, but she ' s not slow at basketball either. Mabel is very studious, and is an .V-1 student in every class.

Mary When the great noise died down in Sep- tember, 27, we found in our midst a fair haired, blue eyed maiden, whom the Scran- ton Gang called Mary. At first she was very sedate and calm, but to our astonish- ment she did not remain quiet. She soon mixed in with us and became one of the jolliest of good sports. Although she appeared inactive at times, she nevertheless showed great interest in the extra curricular activities. She joined the Girls Glee Club in 27. When the Tau Phi Epsilon Sorority was seeking the com- panionship of new members they did not overlook Mary. She became an active mem- ber of this sorority in 28, and is one of its most active members. Mary is an ambitious teacher. Her work in practice teaching proved that she is capable of handling any difficulty she might meet in her future work. Many happy hours we have spent to- gether during our stay here, and with a pang of regret we see the good times com- ing to an end. But we are sure that she will meet with success out in this wide world; furthermore, we are sure that she will not tread the road of life alone. JENNIE CONTINI Foster Township High School Freeland.

Tennis. It ' s great for reducing — even better than counting Calorics, . nd then, it does away with the formality of introductions, too. You didn ' t know Ruth was reducing? Oh, ' yes, she ' s counting calories conscientiously. The reason — she wanted to prove herself worthy of her name — Venus. We liave high hopes for Ruth as a teach- er, especially as a teacher of English. She launched several campaigns in the inter- ests of purifying the mother tongue among her associates.

We, the class of ' 29, extend her our best wishes. BETTY M. EDWARDS Kdwardsville Hish School Edwar€ls ille. Pa. Betz At first glance one would judge Betty to be a quiet girl but when you know her you discove r that she is good-natured and full of fun. She is a good sport and a wonderful pal. Betty ' s favorite pastime is telling for- tunes. She could easily earn a living at this if she decides not to teach school. She also likes to read and to eat and spends some time trying to find the way to eat and grow thin. Betty .says she is going to be a sophisti- cated school marm forever and ever, but we don ' t think so. We do know, how- ever, that she will he a very successful teacher, for she has all the qualities that make up a good teacher. She has chosen the Primary grades as her realm in which to guide tlie coming generation along the paths of education. Here ' s to the girl with dreamy eyes. With coal black hair and ready smile. May she attain what she desires In this world that is so worthwhile. ? ? ? 19 2 9 VSy-J tyr jyir SiSi JXnh 69 y? sfl; ai $ K w OBITER k § L J ' ■i;s : rcn; v n ( ' ri gv J : : o cl«J:y( WILHELMIXA ELDER BeruUk High School Berwick.

As a result of her fine personality and sacri- fice she has many friends whose companion- ship have made her 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 review of her records have shown us. Her attitude toward her work and natural love for children tend to make her the ideal teacher. Judging from her application to her stu- dies here we hope to hear of this young lady on the road to success in the near fu- ture. MARJORIE ALICE ELEY Technical High School Seranton.

The Children ' s Lit- erature Club was Marj ' s choice in ex- tra curricular fields and we will always re- member our dashing Robin Hood. As a teacher, Marj will be a success, but we fear that future graduates will not have to wait long to take her place. She will be teaching but a short time. How- ever, long or short, it may be, or whatever else she undertakes, may fate be her friend. Iffi ri K]l CtO CIJ5firj J5 70 19 2 i5CV l3 2 i 5i '  Q l ) i  l ' N?- a- l ?

Yes, when she ' s asleep. You will always find Farrell with those big brown eyes and sunny smile, having a grand and glorious time. When anyone mentions Bucknell you should see the look on Farrell ' s face. I wonder why? I thought for awhile that she was interested in State, but when the mail came the other day — well — I guess you know. She has been an active member in all college affairs, especially the social events. You never go to a college dance or party unless you see Farrell. Farrell is treasurer of the Phi Gamma Tau Sorority, a member of the First Aid Club, a fire commissioner, and is also on the House Committee. O! Lest I forget.

Upon further inves- tigation they will find a tall, slender, dark- haired chap strumming away, while around bim are members of the North Hall gang harmonizing. Boy! how he can play a uke. A born musician — he can pick beautiful chords from a piano, and give him a ga- zabo and a pair of drumsticks, and lo! you have an orchestra. Bud ' s Forte is basketball; from his high schooly days he has been playing this game. We won ' t forget that great game he played at center against Strouds- burg. However, Bud does not excel in ath- letics alone. He also did commendable work in extra-curricular activities. In 28, he was a member of the double quartette and in ' 29 a member of the Men ' s Con- servatory Glee Club. Bud is also a humorist of rare ability. As Humor Editor of the 1928 Obiter and as endman for the minstrels of ' 27 he proved to us to be a man of rare wit. His some- what shy manner, mixed with jilenty of this wit, makes him popular among the both sexes. Now we know that Bud also possesses actorial ability. Those who saw him act in Applesauce will tell you that he was the It of the play. He is an active member of the Omega Chi Fraternity, having been elected Vice Presi- dent in ' 28 and Treasurer in 29. i -csa ' J5 ' '  ci-r5fito J5 76 19 a 9 e :w I i5CVyGk:M 5t ' J l ' 5  2ri  2rl ' N ' CJ l 5 J OBITER A i MAE FLAHERTY BUnmisbiirs; Hisli School IJIoom-burs, Pa.

But custom.s, fashions and what not changed him to a second Hill Rogers. Hey, Ford, tell us a joke. This is the cry of the North Hall boys, thus Ford, with his original anec- dotes became a member of the ])o|)ular youth. Lemons is a conscientious young man and he puts his studies above pleasure. But he found that he could afford sometime for sports so went in for football and base- ball. Lemons is a born ba.seball player and in years to come we shall see Ford in the big leagues. Lemons has a taste for good looking girls, but he never allows them to get the best of him. He likes a date now and then hut, as for coupling up with them — was not his idea. The North Hall Council chose Lemons to act as Cliairman of the party given to the Faculty by the men students. It was a memorable event, and due to Mr. Ford ' s skill as a director of mirth, the jiarty was a huge success. Then and there Ford made good with the jirofessors. m m I ' m 1 9 a Q |gsa7? v ?av srwNfly :gvsa g vxfl gI g 77 Jack winninp friends. JACK B. FORTNER Bloomsburg High Schnol Uloomsburg. Pa.

He is an enthusiastic supporter of all ath- letics, beinp manager of the baseball team in ' 28 and participating in football and bas- ketball. His ability as an actor led him to join the Dramatic Club in the fall of ' 23. His ability along this line was demonstrated in two club jiroductions, The Rivals and As You Like It, the Senior Class play, Applesauce, and the Sopohomore Class play, The Xew Poor. Other activities in- clude Men ' s Glee Club, Double Quartette, Mixed Chorus and First Aid Club. His ac- tive school life did not hinder but instead forwarded his fondness for the fair sex and aided him in securing sufficient acquain- tances to fulfill the proverb believed by Jack that Variety is the spice of life. With his ability to make acquaintances and keep them and his enthusiasm in Eng- lish and Social Studies we are sure of a bright and successful future for him.

In fact, it is said that he will, in time, be the Mayor of that thriving village. Mark doesn ' t like to dance and abhors playing cards? He is interested in Blooms- burg, I mean one particular individual of this clt} ' , but I do think he is interested in B. S. T. C, hecau.se he is a very devoted student. Whenever you hear laughter issuing forth from the corridors of the locker rooms, you may be sure that Mark is telling another of his kind jokes, for he has such a store of them that he can tell several new ones each day. We certainly will miss Mark ' s presence in the locker rooms, es- pecially after lunch. Mark is interested in teaching primarily, and when he gets his degree we think that mathematics will be somewhat over done. We are sure that Mark will keep to teach- ing after he finishes here, but how long he will continue in this field, time alone can tell. Mark has often quoted several good mot- toes for life, but we think that his best one is, Give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to vou. lC (Sj UG ' Ai SS: W SSJi JB : KSj i tS 19 2 i mi ; g |igBg«vvg ' rwsfl yavvj gv g ? av g]| obiter CORA ETTA FRANK Malianoy High School Mahanoy City.

Mag is also a very charming girl and has many friends in the college. One thing that is very characteristic of Magdelene is that whenever you go into her room you will he sure to find her eating some delicious chocolates and reading — not studying — but reading a book, not mentioning the title of it. Nevertheless she always wears that merry smile and that is all we want. She has come to this college to take up teaching, but we wonder, yes, we wonder, if she will ever be one. Perhaps there is some one else to think about. We feel confident that whatever Magde- lene does she will succeed. We wish you all the luck and happiness in the world.

It certainly gave us much plea- sure to watch her swing a tennis racket. She was always right there in every social event, whether dance, party or play.

Baby Louise — Graceful, no less than grace itself, contained the play spirit. Louise does contain the play spirit to a great extent. Every aspect of life is a game to her and she plays like the true sport she is. Naturally brilliant, teaching comes to Louise as an easy matter, yet with all of her physical charms and easy swinging walk, one wonders if this is her right chosen profession. She is doubtful herself, but is quiet as to her real ambitions. A favorite among many is Louise, and she has an outstanding personality in ath- letics. Her winsome gracefulness shows to its best advantage on hockey, basketball and baseball fields. Louise is a go-getter and we are sure that life will offer her Just what she most desires.

Irene Some call her Irene, others Johnny. but whatever we call her, she is one of the dearest girls we know. Her friendly dis- position and willingness to help others are diaracteristics for which we all admire and love her. We all think a great deal of her, but we are sure someone else thinks more. AVe wonder why most of her leisure time is sjient in writing letters and why .she is anxious to get to the mail box on time. She s full of pep. You should hear her strum a uke. . s for sports, Irene takes part in all. She is one of the shining lights of the class. Oh! those A ' s! She ' s sure to have five. From the way she tutored second floor we think that, as a music teacher, she would be a success. Life holds no charm like loyal friends, -And manv are vours until life ends.

Deacon is very small but it is a good thing, for she loves to be everywhere at the same time, especially where there are eats. It seems a gift of nature for some people to be forever eating and never grow. Deacon like sports of all kinds — says she wants to develop strong muscles so she can liandle the boy friend better. Basket- ball and swimming are her favorite sports. She likes to swim as well as eat. Don ' t be mistaken — Deacon can live up to her nickname. She teaches a Sunday School class in Berwick and was quite a modest little teacher in the Kindergarten for the first nine weeks. When she taught in Berwick we all missed her very much. She is always willing to help when one is in trouble and has been a loving friend and classmate. We wi.sh her success of the highest type in her future years. ANNA E.

Why should I care if I am late? . nna, with her brown hair and brown eyes, wears that smile which we will never forget. Even though she does love to sleep and at every opportunity is doing so, she is full of life and pep when awake. She is as happy-go-lucky as the day is long and nothing worries her no matter how serious it is. Some night when you are hard at work and hear someone coming down the hall laughing and talking, you had better lock your door, for when Anna arrives work ceases. One of her great failings is talk- ing, and when there is someone around she simply cannot study. Those who know her will tell you that she will argue for the sake of arguing any day in the week, and will not stop talking until the opposite side is so out of breath that they cannot talk any longer. Did I hear some one say that mail is in? I won- der how many letters I shall receive to- day? . nna never fails to get at least one and more often it is five or six. She enjoys spending her time wishing she were home, or elsewhere and marking off each dav fin the calendar. llfrg ClvJ r riSJO?

Always smiling, always glad. Never hurrying, never sad. Doris is usually found with a crowd. For some unexplainable reason she is never seen alone. Her pleasing personality aids her to make and keep many friends. Some music, Doris — we should like to dance. Doris is a very good pianist and never tires of playing for her friends. One never has to coax her. Doris is very studious, hut we sometimes wonder if she would not rather sleep than eat. Doris prefers sleeping to eating, es- pecially at breakfast time. Another of her pastimes is dancing. She loves to dance and, of course, we all love to dance with her. Wilkes-Barre seems to hold an added attraction in dancing for her. In basketball, one always dreads to be her opponent. It is hard to make a play when being guarded by Jonsie. Doris is a member of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. Her duty is to play the piano, but we find her always willing to assist whenever she is needed. FLORENCE GERTRUDE JONES DuBols High School UuBois, Pa. Flossy Flossy is one of tho.se girls whose friendship we all wish to hold. Her loving disposition and kindheartedness are Just a part of her charming personality. Flossy is an all-round good sport and pal. When you meet her you always want to know her better. Look at her and you know she is full of life and fun. When school opened this fall, Flossy was not seen around the campus. Why? She was in Berwick guiding the young Ber- wickians. The only weakness that Flossy had in Berwick was chocolate cake. Florence is very fond of music, but it makes her sentimental. We wonder why??? Flos.sy is a real student and distributes her time properly in applying herself to her tasks. Her attitude toward her work, and her natural interest in the profession, make her an ideal teacher. She is Secretary of the Alpha Delta Zeta Sorority and the ' v. W. C. A. Cabinet. The Dramatic Club also claims her as a member. We expect Flossy to go smiling through, and in so doing she can be noth- ing but successful. ■ Mc ; OBITER m 5S12 MURIEL P.

And we wish her niudi luck as she sails from this ])ort. Muriel has not changed since she came to Bloomsburg. As we met her two years ago, we still find her, a true and willing friend, always rushing from one place to another doing a good turn. With her sunny dis- position and ready jokes she has made many friends who will never forget the old days at Bloom. Besides being a prompt and enthusiastic rooter for all athletics, Muriel takes an ac- tive part in playing hockey, basketball and volleyball. It is here that we find her height somewhat of a disadvantage, but it doesn ' t hold her back when she gets possession of the ball and dodges around her lanky opponents. In her first year, Muriel took an active interest in the Y. W. V. A., which developed into her appointment to the Y Cabinet. Here her loyal supi)ort and backing has been gratefully appreciated. Since Muriel possesses a beautiful alto voice she was wel- comed into the Girls Glee Club and the Y Quartet as a member during her two years at Bloom. Is it any wonder that Muriel has gained weight? Of course it is not due to the meals in the dining room, but to the feeds at 9:3(1 and to the numerous boxes that have entered her room. Since our little Welsh girl has chosen the Intermediate children to guide and in- fluence, our hopes are for her success. at I WILLIAM JONES Scranton High School Scranton, Pa.

Bill ' s interests are in his studies; he has no great desire for gridiron fame. His one desire is to be a real Professor. Who knows but that some day he will be a prominent figure in education. Bill showed his talents as an actor when a candidate for the Freshmen play. He was elected as one of the characters and capably fitted his role. When women are mentioned, Bill be- comes a man of mystery. Now whether he has One and only one, we do not know.

In the fields of athletics she has achie ed success in playing basketball and baseball. Sophie is our idea of perpetual motion, always making up some energy in ways distinctly her own. What an asset to Sophie are her eyes, they certainly help to make the pleasing personality that she possesses. Sophie has chosen the Primary field, and we know that she will be a success when out in the world. Sometimes she appears to be very quiet — that is, the time she is thinking of what she is to teach the next day, after this mood passes she becomes one of the .jolly girls and tries bard to make every one about her happy. As you step from our midst we wish you success and happiness in your future work. fe JULIA KELECHAW Blakely High School Peokville. Pa. Whose notebook is this? Oh, Jule ' s, of course, it ' s written with purple ink. Car- ter ' s ink gives her a touch of individuality. Last year she was a blithe, frivolous, happy young person. This year she has de- veloped into a serious, exact, thorough school teacher. . lthough we laughingly chide her for her attention to details, yet we know that it is hut an indication that whatever life may hold for her will be done faithfully and well. We shall never forget the many evenings we s))ent with her while she sang for us the old ballads, snatches from operas, folk songs, and popular compositions. Her rep- ertoire is unlimited. Jule ' s interest lies not only in books and music but also in athletics and social activities. She plays a splendid game of basketball, throws a baseball with sure aim, hikes like one of Gene Stratton Porter ' s heroines, and even roller skates to Dan- ville upon occasions. During her first year she was a member of the Mixed Chorus and the CJirls ' Chorus. During the second year she was on the Governing Board. lil 3, I 5 i gg l 19 2 S 7M saJ1!Bvs L a g aI 103 F OBIXER le v g c e•v a . ? gvvg gsg gar u MARGARET W.

She took a course in Library Methods last year, but she prefers the advanced course that she is taking now. Well, I guess, you know! She can be heard walking through the halls and singing her favorite song, My Buddy. Ketcham is always smiling and is ready to help any one. In all her studies she has displayed vim and persistence, which are two qualities necessary for the successful teacher. Ketcham is very active socially. Very few dances passed without her attendance.

She, like the rest of us, was green, but it didn ' t take her long to become ac- quainted with the college and she soon ac- quired a host of friends by her pleasing personality and ever-helping manner. Peggy is a graduate of the Shickshinny Higli School, but she now resides in Wilkes- Barre. We are certain that Shickshinny misses her and that Wilkes-Barre is pleased to have her. Those who have become acquainted with Peggy during the last two years value her friendship dearly. She is a very active member of the Phi Gamma Tau Sorority and we really wonder what will become of that society when she graduates. Peggy doesn ' t seem to be interested in the boys, but we have a slight suspicion that there are a few who are interested in her. Peggy is a real pal, a true friend — one who is always ready to lend a helping hand to any worthy cause. Peggy is one of the industrious stu- dents of our college who puts work before play. She likes fun and lots of it, but not until her work is finished. Farewell, Peggy.

Really, on these subjects, she would argue and discuss until — well ask Jimmie. What does she like to do? Well — we should say dance, dance some more and dance again. That seems to be her hobby and we must say she rides it well. She has chosen teaching in the Primary grades for her life work. Because of her personality, she has many friends and the children are very fond of her. It is doubt- ful whether Lenore will follow the teach- ing profession for very long.

We love to hear her because her laugh is so contagious. Catherine also al- lows her melodious voice to be heard in the Girls Chorus. What would the chorus do without her? To be with Kay is to be with a live wire. Being a typical American girl, she does not confine herself to .study alone. She is always a good sport and athletics claim her as a lover and participant.

MARY McENEAXY Saint Basil ' s High School Dusliore, Pa. Mary is always merry. She believes that school is a tonic for the mind and should be taken regularly and calmly — though, like all medicine, it is a pill to take sometimes. Mary comes to us from Saint Basil ' s High School, Dushore. She tells us that Dushore is quite some place, though we have been unable to get any reliable information as to its size. With her twinkling eyes and quiet smile, Mary is a welcome addition to any group. You would think she is quiet until you get better acquainted with her, then you are apt to change your mind. At least she can help out with the noise on third floor when occasion demands. Hockey is one of Mary ' s weaknesses. She fell hard for this sport, having played on two teams during her Senior year. Mary is Irish and proud of it. We wouldn ' t be surprised if she started to wear a little green shamrock for loyalty ' s sake. We would like to add one leaf to your shamrock, Mary, and with it luck for the rest of vour life. fei l|gasgaya «- B g ' «fc e-g tt- etMej,ivir5Ae | 1 9 a Q J mi 114 T .

And then her tennis has developed far beyond the beginner ' s stage. .lust ask anyone to whom she serves those aces. Last year Mu Phi Sigma noticed all these quali- ties and claimed her as a member. For .some of her chums, Lucille ' s ability in acquiring all these talents is sometimes beyond their comprehension. She has an- other trait which not infrequently asserts it.self — absentmindedness, we are forced to call it. The periods occur, we are led to believe, when her thoughts are preoccupied with the whereabouts of an auburn-haired person. .-Mthough she sometimes displays unmistakable signs of a certain proncnes to anger, Cile good-naturedly accepts perhaps a little more than her share of the razzing with which she is confronted. But such is the fate of any maiden with a par- ticular friend of the opposite sex in H. S. T. C, the school where men form such a pojmlar minority.

We first met Hienie on tlie football field and, although he is small, he stuck to the game and gave the Varsity plenty of trouble in the scrimmages. Next came basketball and Hienie was there again. He ))roved to us that short fellows may be good liasketball players also. Xext in sports comes baseball and here again we find our Hienie. He pitched a numl)er of games, including a twelve inning game in which we beat Mansfield, 6 to 5. Hienie is a letter-man in both basket- ball and baseball. The Omega Chi Frater- nity and the Xanticoke Club count him as one of their most active members. With all of this outside activity Hienie also has a creditable scholastic standing. He is always in need of sleep, but he also has his pleasant smile and we must not forget his curly hair. Hienie seems to have no special attraction in the school, although he is a good dancer. Still we think he has some attraction in Lee Park, bc- lause every time that he gets a chance he bums the highway up the river. We know that Hienie s smile and ways will win an honorable place for him in the teaching profession, so here ' s wishing you good luck, Hienie. KATHRYN E. MORTON Dunmore High School Lake Ariel, Pa.

No — she hikes whether it rains or shines. And as for ten- nis, she say.s, What difference does it make who wins? Someone has to. Per- haps it is a good thing she feels that way about it. When she came to school she said she was never going to dance. But then, other great dancers once said the same thing. It has always been said by those who know and love her that she is a real friend.

Since she is as good a scholar as she is a sport, we have no doubt as to success in her chosen profession. PAULINE REECE Berwick Hish scliool Berwick. Pa. Poor Pauline! ! We pity [loor Pauline. Just now she s as free as free as can be. We wonder how it all will be Winn she is teaching in the country. Poor Pauline 1 1 Pauline is another one of our blondes. She is an industrious and very capable school marm. She is looking forward to the day when she will be her own boss. Won ' t those kiddies have to step around! She ' ll know all about the butterflies, snakes, and the wriggly worms that the boys find on their way to .school. We know that Pauline will not continue her work in the teaching field very long. That particular party rings the little cot- tage door-bell too many times a week. Such happenings as this couldn ' t permit this sweet little blonde to remain an old maid school teacher. However, we feel sure that she will be a success, both as a school teach- er and a wife. Both have been thoroughly discussed at B. S. T. C. We all noticed that Pauline was particularly interested in the matrimonial discussions. Never mind, Pauline, some of the rest of us are just Jealous because we aren ' t as lucky as you. Pauline spent her leisure hours playing hockey and basketball. She was also a member of the Children ' s Literature Club. | gg5 A :v a g c z; s g g toyF g al i q a q | 5? ffl 140 ?, i :v?3 :pi j 2 i ) :ri  iriV '  !5 i J j OBITER I 9 s ARCHIBALD REESE Scranton Central Hisli school Scrantoii.

Besides being a faithful member of the Mu Phi Sigma Sorority, she also has the distinction as being a charter member of the . lpha Psi Omega, an honorary Dra- matic Fraternity. Everyone will agree that Milly is one of the bright lights on the stage at B. S. T. C and everyone knows that the success of a great number of plays depended on her. Mildred gives most of lur time to her school work in which she has succeeded very well. She is one of the resourceful types that always has a ready answer for everything.

Previous to coming here she spent three years in Bible training, completing this work by a trip through the Holy I ands, Mediterranean countries, and Eu- ro]ie. Later she continued her Bibl e work by traveling extensively through western United States, making an especial study in the missionary field. We have found Edna to be a real friend. At all times of the day you might hear various shouts from every part of the dormitory, demanding Edna ' s help with outlines, charts, imaginary pictures, and all sorts of bug bears to most students. Again you might hear a call for quick surgery. Everything con.sidered she is a Jack and Master of all trades. Her public experience has been varied. While at school she found time to teach a college girls ' Bible class and also a large class of women at the M. E. Church. Oc- casionally she has even substituted for min- isters. Edna is planning to work for her degree at a university next year. MILDRED REA RIDALL Berwick Higli School Berwick, Pa. The lone little blonde girl of our gang from Berwick is Mildred. That she is dif- ferent from the rest of us, by being the only blonde, does not say that she is not well liked, for she has many friends. It is often said, Gentlemen prefer blondes. Mildred has proven this. Being a blonde is not the only thing that makes her popular. She is a good sport and al- ways smiling, even though the skies are gray. She took an active part in basketball, ba.seball and hiking during her Freshman year. She was also a member of the Camp- fire Girls. Mildred is at present being missed by all her friends, for she is doing her student teaching in Berwick. Her faith in and love for little children, also her plans to- ward helping tliem to go forward in their work, explain why Mildred is taking the Primary course. We all wish Mildred the best of success and happiness in every- thing she undertakes. i agg c ' g ' ' fr ' c tf 19 a 9 142 ■v av v vgv yvavsB o VNa ? v ig| I obiter | I- ' s MARGARET AGNES RILEY fSaiiit fiabriel ' s High School llazleton, Pa. •Peg Pe is a member of the Hazleton ag- gregation.

He works faithfully at whatever task he is at — yet, we find him performing another quiet duty — or, shall we say — pleasure, namely chaperoning the fair sex. A heap of curly black hair and a wicked smile go to make Bob a real fellow. His real hobby is pressing suits; and man — what a crease that boy can make — ])erbaps that is why the girls are attracted to him — Clothes often make the man.

During her Freshman year she was an ac- tive member of the Y. W. C. A., the Girls ' Glee Club and the Dining Room Club. Although Tiny was not with us in the dorm the first .semester, she feels quite at borne to be with us now.

Mil Mil is another of those girls with whom it takes a long time to become acquainted; hut when you do so — it is more than worth the trouble. Mil ' s just a different .sort of a girl, the kind they make and then throw the pattern away. She has her own ideas about right and wrong, and does wrong often enough to make things interest- ing. She went out for hockey, baseball, vol- leyball and hiking, but as to tennis we wonder how Mil would look with a racket in her hand. Imagine two years at B. S. T. C. without a single visit to the tennis courts ! Mil is lucky that she doesn ' t have to reduce — we realize this when, after having searched high and low for her, we came u|)on her among a liunch of pillows, reading, and invariably — eating. And to the great- est envy of her friends she remains slim. While the rest of us meekly hope for one letter a day, Mildred just naturally (■(urnts on three. . nd when someone hands her al out four, she incjuires, Is this all? But that soon passes as she notes the post- marks — one from Kingston, one from Ber- wick, and one, of course, from home. . ny otliers are welcome as extras, but these three must be there. N ' o wonder Mil made such a success of practice teaching with such an inspira- tion as that to start the day.

Helen is the type that looks very digni- fied, but you should hear her in the Girls ' Locker Koom. Her laugh is just as hearty as the rest. Helen sure was a help when it came to buying the new victrola for the Locker Room. Who knows? Perhaps any- one else would not have been so successful as she. We will remember Helen as one of the Locker gang and wish you all the success in the world. RUTH A. SCANLON Weatherly High School Ueatherly. Pa. Scanlon Scanlon entered smiling through the portals of Bloomsburg with her coy airs so beguiling. We wondered at her fate. We should have known better than to won- der for we should have known that she would go through classes, dances and dates smiling. When Scanlon first came to Blooms- burg she thought she liked theatres, but it was not long until she decided she would rather be a H. P. Q. I guess you know ! Her popularity is proven by the frequent write-ups in the Bucknellian. She is very efficient in running errands (that is, when she has any one to send). To make Scanlon still more beloved to her Alma Mater she contributed much to the success of the Senior class play, Apple- sauce, by taking the leading role. Also Scanlon lends herself and her efforts to the Phi Gamma Tau s and the First Aid Club.

Schelly tries to tell us that she wants to grow tall; perhaps that i.s the reason she is never absent when there is any- thing good to eat around or when she gets some of that delicious home-made candy from home. Schelly is very fond of every type of athletics. She proved this in her Fresh- man year playing for the cham|)ionship in basketball. You see her on the hockey field, tennis cojirts, in basketball, in baseball and in volleyball. You can also find Pearl in the gymnasium every night after dinner, for she likes dancing. Pearl has all the treats of a good friend; she is dependable, loyal and true. What more could one wish for a pal? Whatever you do or wherever you go. Pearl, remember that our best wislies and love go with you. fe HAZEL MARGARET SCHERER Old Forge High .School Old Forge, Pa. Boots Here is another of our tiny girls whose appearance de notes modesty and quietness, but we find appearances deceiving, for Hazel is generally ])resent when we have fun on third floor. Fun is a mild form of the work for Fm sure high old times would suit it better. We missed Boots just lots the first eighteen weeks, for she decided to stay in Berwick for that length of time. Can it be possible there is some attraction up there? Could we have done without her on our basketball team? Fll say not, for she sure could toss that ball. She was quiet, but then still water runs deep, as was proven by her receiving a letter from a certain person every day. She thinks that name Al is just It, and we were sure there was a big reason back of it until she paid a visit to Ringtown and met a certain Biney. What ' s up, Boots, old dear? Hazel is pre])aring to teach in the In- termediate grades and, although she says she will teach at least five years, we all have our doubts.

That is a way of hers. After the interview, we were able to gather a few things from the man ' s ravings: That she loves to dance, has a horror of mice, be- lieves in doing things efficiently, is clever along artistic lines, has a refreshing sense of humor (haven ' t you ever beard her gig- gle), is Vice President of tlie local Alpha Delta Zeta and Clrand Secretary of the same sorority.

Hockey, baseball, basketball and hiking find her a ready votary. The Girls ' Chorus, Geographic Society and the Y. V. C.

Little girls should be seen and not heard does anything but apply in this situation, for whenever you go you hear Lena talking or whistling bits of the latest song hits.

You may see her at any time dashing down the hall to the elevator a few seconds before the last bell rings for class. Although Jessie may be slow in getting to classes you can be sure that she is not so slow in making friends, for wherever she goes she is sure to make them. One of her pet hol)l)ies is visiting the mail boxes. If one day passes and Jess does not get at least one letter, there certainly must have been a railroad wreck. She also enjoys music and as a result her abilities run along the musical line. With her soprano voice she makes music in the air. This is the reason why she joined the Girls Chorus.

Her readiness for a good time, her attitude toward athletics, her interests in society and, as a whole, her ability as a student, has resulted in a wide circle of friends. Everyone wondered why Al could be seen strolling down town every night at four-ten. We all could guess. Many of the girls would remark. I don ' t see how she does it. This year we find among ' Al ' s letters a number of them stamped Le- high. ' We wonder whyr Al is a member of the Mu Phi Sigma Sororitj . She received her numerals for participation in athletics during her first year. We could count on Al being on any team — hockey, basketball or baseball. She was often seen on the tennis court swing- ing a racket. Al ' s greatest hobby is dancing. Whenever any of .Vis girl friends were not in the gJTn, Al never lacked a partner. DOROTHY E.

Black hair, blue eyes, winning smile are her outstand- ing characteristics. For jiersonality — well no one can beat her.

It ' s no use to say anrtbing about hockey, as her team was champs. If you need anything mended just bring it up to room 363. as Dottie belongs to Sewing Club. She certainly can use a needle to its best advantages. As Corresponding Secretary of the Delta Phi Sigma, Dot surely fulfills the office. Let ' s give Dot a toast, A girl for whom we all can boast.

' It is comparatively easy to describe most girls by using sweet, lovable, clever, in- telligent, adorable and such. For our Lib- bv we need new words and different com- binations of the old words, for Libby is decidedly different. She has a combina- tion of all these qualities with wit, humor and an indetinabie quality of personality, which endears her to all she meets. But Lib does more than make others happy through her radiant personality. She possesses a rare spirit of leadership and conscientiousness, which has been evidenced in her capable work for the -Student Govern- ment Organization. Yes, she is. as you would expect, very clever in her studies and contributes many original opinions in class discussion. She shows evidence of a decided literary flare and we all predict for her a brilliant liter- arv career. ELIZABETH LUCRETIA WILLIAMS Edwardsville High School Edwardsville. Pa. Liz Who is this tall, attractive looking girl coming down the hall? That is Elizabeth Williams. We thought every one knew her. .She is a great girl, always happy and cheer- ful, making life happier for others. She is always there when she is asked to do her part. Vou will find her in the foremost activities of our school, especially active in Dramatic Club and Mu Phi Sigma So- rority. She is also a great lover of sports. You know she was on the team which won the Senior hockey chainpi(mship this year. She sure is a staunch backer of football and basketball teams. You can un- derstand why basketball, as we have a few tall fellows on the team. Elizabeth is a girl all for Bloom, there- fore we are all for her. One bit of radiant sunshine. Two bits of pep and good cheer. Three bits of all that ' s nicest.

Pa. .laiiie Everyone knows our Janie. .lane, with the lifrlit hair and blue eyes. Jane can al- ways be seen but very seldom heard, for she travels throujih tlie halls to and from classes as quietly as a mouse. When you do hear Jane she is always singing. She has a lovely voice and likes to help herself and her roommates over some rough stone with a .song of cheer. Her pleasing voice won her a place in the Glee Club and could very often be heard entertaining the Y members at the Wednesday night meetings. Jane is very much interested in sports and has played on the volleyball and hockey teams, but she would much rather give her time as President of the Mu Phi Sigma Sorority to guide them through a very suc- cessful year. Although many other organizations have Jane as a member, the Y. W. C. A. claim and appreciate her as one of their best workers. What the Y would ever have done without her is hard to tell. We are sure that Jane will be very suc- cessful as a Primary teacher, and as a word of farewell, we say: The years are like flowers — they bud, bloom and fade. But they leave behind sweet fragrance, in the friendships we have made. MYFANWY G. WILLIA.MS Blakely Hisli seliool Peckville. Pa. Wanie Wanie, as she is known better by this name, because her first has caused many to twi.st their tongues trying to say it, is one of the best natured girls at school. A glance at her would leave the impression of a very quiet girl, but a visit to room 363 would soon change your opinion. It is not all foolishne ss, hut real fun. if you come to room 363. Wanie carried out her office as fire lieutenant very well. Her fine company is to be recommended on third flour in the annex. Wanie ' s hobby is athletics. In her Freshman year she was a member of the hockey team, basketball and won the girls ' championship in tennis. I don ' t know what we would have done without her. . t any sport, Wanie supports her school and team with the best of spirit. She is a member of the Delta Phi Sigma Sorority and holds the office of Vice Presi- dent. She is always ready to lend a help- ing hand when there is work to he done.

In spite of the handicap of a late hepinninp he came through his Fresh- man year with flying colors. Oliver took an active part in school ac- tivities, aside from his regular course of study. Among the list of his activities may be found the Mixed Chorus, to which he belonged the first semester.- He was on the stage set committee for the Fresliman play, So This Is London. He also belonged to that group of students who always liad their lessons prepared. Oliver belonged to the Men ' s Glee Club. He was al,so a member of the Phi Lambda or Nature Study Club.

Katink Whenever the girls on third floor licard the cry, Oh, kid, come on over till I tell you the .joke I beard this week-end, they all knew that to be the signal for the clan to gather in room 820 to hear some of Katink ' s famous stories. ' I ' hey all liked to collect in her room anyway, for, if she had just returned from home on Sunday night, there always was a reason, even though re- ducing had become piite popular. Proficiency in story-telling (?) and abil- ity to make sandwiches, however, were only some of Katink ' s attractive (pialitics. for her generous disposition could hardly be surpassed. Pete knows. .• lthough often lured along the paths of idleness by tlie gang. Katink never failed to do her work. She proved to all in her Freshman nmsic class her admirable ability to concentrate, when she rendered A Sweet Little Robin to the extreme di-light of the audience. .Many people thought Katink a cpiiet little miss, but i)erhaps they never had heard her vocal reaction to the ajjpearance of little Archibald in the wastehasket.

Izzy The name Isabel usually suggests a quiet, demur, sophisticated girl, with her thoughts always turned to her studies. Of cour.se, we thought tliis always held true — but look at her jjicture. That flashing smile and those big brown eyes tell you the whole story. A nifty dancer full of pep, I ' ll tell tlie world she sure can step. She ' s got a Scrantonian sheik. And she thinks he can not he beat. Whv do the boys stop and inquire: Who is that girl? Oli, that is Izzy. Everyone knows her. Those who haven ' t seen her have certainly heard of her. What is there in a name? Izzy is a rather happy go lucky girl and expects to teach, but expectations do not always come true. One of Izzy ' s diversions is dancing. She loves to talk and dance and is usually ready to relate the news of the dance the night before. Nor does she take a back seat when it comes to the opposite sex. Let ' s not stop to count, for we probably would run out of num- bers. Izzy is especially fond of Notre Dame. We won ' t give away any personal secrets, Izzv. M. HELEN WOLFE Turhotville High School Espy, Pa. It was in the summer school of 1927 that Helen made her first formal visit to B. S. T. C. ' s class room. She had just gradu- ated from Turhotville High School. She really liked B. S. T. C. so well that she de- sired to come back that fall for a two-year course. How time flies! Here is Helen expecting a Senior write up, and about to graduate. During our two years together we have learned to enjoy her jileasant smile and appreciate her friendship. She is one of those cheerful girls with merry eyes, and chestnut brown hair — a good combination. We also admire her studious disposition ! l$ut our advise is that she really should not spend so much time studying at night. For detailed information, ask Helen. Sometimes Helen tries to make us be- lieve that she will go in training for a nurse. We think her sister is the drawing card to that profession. Nevertheless, we wish her heaps of success in school teaching, nurs- ing, or whatever she undertakes. She was an ardent su])porter of the Glee Club and Geograi)hic Society.

Her chief delight is in startling the lock- er room with: No gym today, or Un- expected test in English Composition and it was dreadful ! When these statements have caused sufficient excitement to satisfy this apparently demure person, the mask drops off and a smile appears, telling us all that we have been the victims of an- other of Esther ' s jokes. She has escaped so far without being mobbed. She has her schitlarly moments, how- ever, when she packs away a lot of knowl- edge — for Esther Is a good student. Always ready to help the other fellow and a good companion, especially if fur- nished with the cherished chocolate bar — any kind will do ! We hear occasional murinurlngs about a certain someone in the region of Hazleton and a nice dance now and then. Are we sure that these murnmrings are authentic? Oh, no! we aren ' t, because our Wrightie doesn ' t wear her dates on her sleeve. i ESTHER WRL ' BLE Kingston High School Kingston. Pa. Es In youtli antl beauty wisdom is liut rare. A rare mixture of seriousness and con- tagious mirth are the qualities that bind her friends to Esther. Esther has many acquaintances, for her winning smile with the dimples peei)lng out at both corners. makes her well known. Es has intellect and this doesn ' t mean she stays in and studies. She has manager written all over her and a capable one she has proven herself to be. Her opinion is not only contributed in Current Litera- ture Club, Supervisor ' s Board and Tau Phi Epsilon, but is solicited and highly valued. . great lover of all types of good litera- ture is Es. Poetry Is her meat. Any- thing from G. Kichmond to Socrates appeals to her.

He was considered a silent member of that class until he became known by his charming personality and his knowl- edge of all subjects, especially history and mathematics. We might consider him as the scholar of the class by Emerson ' s defini- tion of Man Thinking.

His activity along other lines made him Secretary of the Teachers ' Art Guild, ' 27, Associate Editor of the Maroon and Gold, ' 26 and ' 28 and a member of the Local History Club, ' 28. He has very little time for the opposite sex, for it is he who brushes off the dust and cuts the pages of the old volumes in our library. He is much interested in geneology and uses the library to satisfy this interest. Some people are born great, but it is with confidence that the class of 29 pre- dicts that Ken will achieve greatness. MARION E. YOUNG Kingston Township Higli Selioo! M yoming. Pa. Still water runs deep. This applies to Marion. She appears to be quiet, but when one becomes acquainted with her, one dis- covers that she is full of fun. She is a dependable sort of person, and with this she carried a pleasing jiersonality. She is a real student and distributes her time in applying herself to her school work. Marion always believes in looking at the bright side of life; never a cloud or a gloom comes her way. Her motto is, Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you. ' ' She is a true and loyal friend and always greets one with a pleasant and happy smile. All of those bring about the sweet dis- position that Marion possesses. Talk about being industrious — well, she sure is that and even more. She never ne- glects her work on account of other affairs. We feel sure that Marion will find joy and success in teaching and in any other undertaking in life. A helping hand, a willing heart, . lways ready for any part. A wonderful girl, a friend so true.

Sometimes we feel that instead of the name Stella, Jim (Gym), would suit her better. She is a lover of all sports, particularly basketball.

Although athletics play an important part in her school life, she, by no means, ignores her studies. . lmost any night you can see Stell with notebook and text occupy- ing a reserved seat in the upstairs lobby.

As Freshmen we were organized with the Fresh- men of the two- ' ear course who greatly outnumbered us. However, when we were called together for the purpose of organization, three of our Freshmen officers were chosen from the four-year group, in spite of the fact that we were a minority. Juniors, do you remember the day when you went to Science Hall for gym. ' ' Or perhaps you went to Carver Hall in search of Room L? And then just as if get- ting acquainted wasn ' t enough for any Freshman to do, the brilliant u])per-classmen announced Freshmen customs. Gi-een headbands, cotton stockings, and bothersome black dinks were just a few of the ditticulties that ensued. Once ac(iuainted, we made our presence in the school known by such activities as our Kid Party. Will you ever forget it?

This is really our first opportunity to dis))lay our poten- tialities, being restricted in a certain sense, by a combination of two-year and four- year students in our Freshman -ear. Because of this fact, we have done very little this year except prepare ourselves for the next two years. The Sophomore Cotillion was one example of what we can do, that is, be tip-top and successful in all of our undertakings. Mr. Fenstemaker, our able class advisor, is helping us greatly to pave the way toward success in tin- future. David H. Baker --------- Columbia. Pa. Dave is tliat tall, dark Rciined arouiul liire. Romeo, is right, because all Dave does is roam the halls. But don ' t misunderstand us, he s looking for work. He ' s real energetic, that ' s why he ' s on tlie Coinnuinity Governing Board, and a valuable member of the Junior Varsity Basketball Team. Roy O. Beishlixe --------- Benton, Pa. This bashful suitor hails from another big city up the line. There ' s a deep mystery sur- rounding Koy, but anyway he expects to be in Grand Opera some day, if his voice doesn ' t fail him, because he does a lot of singing in the Glee Club. Beatrice Bowmax -------- Orangevillc, Pa. What would the Sophomore class do without Beatty (and her tlivver:- She ' s always on the job, whether it ' s to Captain a Hockey team or a basketball team, or band out home- made candy. The Student Council values Beatty s membershi]), too, as well as the Maroon anJ Gold. 19 2 9 c j i ! 7Z :riy JXnri 191 sa iTsa s OBITER L J -iSv !yt ' - v rrn ( ' -grAcgvCO a cc j t m Elizahk.th C. Bowman ------- Bloonishurg. Pa. Betty is known to all of lis ttiroujrh lier a] pearance in the Fresliman play last year. Hetty ' s excellent actinjr accounts for her membership in the Dramatic Cluh. We don ' t .see how slie e er jrets to class on time because she ' s always wati ' biiii tin mailbox. Lewis L. Crevklinc; -------- Bloonislniru-. Pa. Hcnder Town Lou never takes part in week-end activities, because lie ' s too occupied leaniiiifr how to teach up the Creek. Lou is the best baseball ])itcber in the seventeen iniiities iiu ' ludiiiL ' ( ' (ilomliia, as well as a valued member of the Men ' s Cllee C ' lub. James H. Davis -------- Bloonishurg, Pa. All the jrirls like .linmiy, he ' s so quiet and nice, and then, too, he has a peach of a tennis racket; Just the kiml one likes to borrow. Jimmy studies so hard we never see him e.xcept at Glee Club. Dramatic Club, and Baseball. Helex K. Deppex -------- Xescoiitck. Pa. Helen blows in from Neseopeck every day, and it sure takes a stron;; wind, too, not be- cause Helen is hij; by any means, hut she just hates to leave the city, becau.se of frieiuUy ties or bonds or what have you ' - She ' s an enerfretic member of the Current Events Club, and tile I ' lii Caiiima Tan .Sorority. Edward T. 1)e ' oe ._---_-- Berwick. Pa. Kd hails from the big city up the river. We never .see much of Ed except in cla.sses or in the library with other Berwickians, or, perhaps its another Berwickian. Ed is President of the Sophomore Class, and also represents the Locker Room Ciane in the Com- munity Ciovernment. His motto is, Work first and play afterward, and if you don ' t have tile time |ilay anyway. ,Ionx W. Dyer --------- Bloomsburg, Pa. •Icibn Is rather a quiet fellow, and we often have to do much .searchinfr to see if he is around. Hut he ' s right there when it comes to class work or anything that requires work. Ei.onsE .1. EvA.vs ___----- Bloonishurg. Pa. Elouise is found anywhere from Science Hall to any room in the dormitory. She likes to have her fortune told, too, to .see if she ' s going to pas.s everything. Elouise is a member of the Current Events Club. Frank V. Faus --------- Bloom.sburg, Pa. Frank just loves lecture courses, he can sleep all he wants to — be does anyway. And, when he isn ' t sleeping he ' s deeply interested in driving the school bus or talking to a certain blond. Frank is a member of the Dramatic Cluh. Helex B. Gibboxs --------- Benton, Pa. Helen was late in entering Bloomsburg, last fall, hut she ' s been early to everything since. Maybe that is because she ' s thinking in terms of State rather than Bloomsburg. Helen is an active member of the Dramatic Club this year. Rebecca Gilmore -------- Bloonishurg, Pa. Becky is one of our many day students. She is noted for her frequent nightly visits to Waller Hall, along with the rest of the Bloomsburg Gang. Becky was on the hockey team and her main issue is sports. ?g | aBg CJ!lg«!VBg a mi S ir£sJc-5iQ ' -r5Clri J5 192 ©a 9 vavvj yovv9 aws g] S OBIXER I- ' hank .1. CioLDKu .-..---- Bloornshurg. l ;i.

Tom is never around, hut we needn ' t wonder where he is keepinjr himself, because he is huildinj; castles in the air. Tom is an active member of the College Orchestra. Chester C. Hess --------- Trcvorton. Pa. C ' het sees all, knows all, aiul is known by all. Who wouhln ' t be if he weren ' t Manaper of a Football Team? diet is also in the Nature Study Club, Student (lovernment, an l is the treasurer of the Sophomore Class. Who knows — he may be President some day; I mean of the da.ss. Ila Ivev ---------- Blooiiisliuri;, Pa. Did you ever see Ila when she wasn ' t lauphinpr Of course not. That ' s because she is in about every kind of athletics she can jret in. One of her favorite sports is makin;; candy for certain Waller Hall pirls. Elsie V. Kellak -------- We know very little ' about F ' .lsie except that she always manafjes to have lier lessons. She is a new student in our class, not havinjr been with us last year. Tiio.MAs ,1. KiKKEit -------- Columbia, Pa. Tam is that hip athlete. He ' s the N ' apolcon we see galloping around. Tam sees all, hears all, knows all, not according to himself, but according to us he is one of the most valued Basketball, IJaseball, and Football Stars we have. He can also run a little, which accounts f  r his being tm the ' I ' rack Team. DoKiiTiiv B. Kis.vER --------- Miincy, Pa. If you hear a tap-tap, or a ipiiet, girls, you can Just bet it is Dot making her rounds. It is a hard job being a supervisor and being liked at the same time, but Dot manages both very well. She is al.so Secretary of the .Sophomore Class. Frances Knickerbocker -------- Berwick, Pa. Frances is famous for her numerous invitations to Chicken dinners up in Berwick. We don ' t see much of Frances, either, except at classes, and then she certainly makes herself heard. She is a member of the French Club.

Hob lives in Scranton, but wc often wonder why lie pets on the train at Kingston, Init then they say Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Bob belongs to the Geography t ' luli. i Ad. E. Kosmela --------- Plyuioutli. Pa. If you want to meet a good hockey jilayer. shake liands witn . (la, because she is right there. She doesn ' t say much, but she thinks lots, which, perhaps, accounts for her excellent mastery of languages. She is also in the Current literature Club. Eugene Krolikowski .Senator Beck is noted for his speeches at North Hall, as well as his diligence as a student. We don ' t hear much of him around the campus, but around the fireplace, he is said to tell many a strange tale. He is on the .Junior Varsity Basketball Team. Arthir C. McKexzie ------- Bloomslnirg. Pa. We really believe . rt has the wiggles, because he never sits still. He likes to argue until everyone thinks he ' s right, .so that is why he is Manager of the Baseball Team, a member of the Dramatic Club, as well as a member of the . l])lia Psi Omega. He ' s some football player, .Vrt i.s. Helen L. Mavnard -------- Chinchilla, Pa. Helen wouldn ' t be herself if she was not hugging a text book of some .sort, and she is never .seen until that lesson is mastered. Helen is one of our few decidedly blond blondes. She is an excellent basketball and hockey jilayer. M. Rio.v R. Meixell --------- E.spy, Pa. It is indeed a shame, that more people do not know Marion. She is very energetic in her studies and playful both in and out of classes. .lust now she is occupied in the playful game of keeping under a hundred and forty. Marion is a member of the Current Literature Club. Theodore Morrissev -------- Wanamic, Pa. Ted is one of the .Siamese Twins; they named the other one Danny. He elected Elizab ethan Drama, liecause he likes the poem, Mary has a little lamb. Sh ! Teddy thinks that the lamb is he. What would the Geography Club do without him- ' Orval C. Palsgrove -------- Frackville, Pa. Orval ' s favorite hobby is to come to classes in time to see them dismissed. But we have the satisfaction of knowing that he comes anyway. Orval is on the Football Team. Mavnard J. Pennington ------- Bloomsburg, Pa. Who around here isn ' t acquainted vith Stub. I bet that he is going to be a doctor some day because he .just loves the hospitals. He is on the Football Squad as well as a mem- ber of the Dramatic Club and the . lpha Psi Omega. Florence M. Regan -------- Kingston, Pa. Floss is a member of the fourth Hoor gang, but she ' s found on any floor at any time, preferably in the telephone booth. Regan ' s pet hobbies, other than the above mentioned are studying and sitting on the ))orch railing. Floss is a First Aider as well as a member of the Phi tJamma Tau. 52 jy i fS jtj g(r ;x j;«a(T .j: 194 19 a 9 I -------- Blooinslnirfi. Pa. Doris is thinlviiifr of Ipavinjx lis to iittciul oollejrc in Sunny ( aliforniii ; but don ' t ask (lues- tions, slie s merely poinp for an education. Besides heinfr on the Maroon and (iold Staff, Doris is a inenilier of tlie Dramatic t ' luli and tlie l lii (lamma ' I ' au. Martin A. Sekulski Glen Lvon, Pa.

AiiTHiR !• . SussER -------- Bloonislmrg, Pa. Artit is one of the town fellows, but he never misses a trick uj) here. . iid just because be lives down town doesn ' t mean be can come to classes ten minutes late, either, but I jruess that Artie will never grow up. Artie is on the Junior Varsity Football Team and the Baseball Team also. Dorothy A. ' oigt Hawlev, Pa. Dot is undoubtedly one of the most popular girls here. If you want her to do you a favor — well, ask her and she ' ll do it. Her versatality can be effectively depicted by the fact that she is President of the Delta Phi Sigma ; Corresponding Secretary of the Governing Board; Maroon and Gold member. Dramatic Club member; and last, but by far the most im- portant, Historian Extraordinary of the Sophomore Class. Vjli,ia. i IL Weaver -------- Blooin.sburt!;. Pa. Hill lives in the suliurbs of Bloomsburg (Light Street). . nd he rides forth in his chariot every morning at eight. He is very active in both Glee Club and the Orchestra. Clarence R. Wolever ------- Xanticokc. Pa. The Face at the Window, will best describe Clarence. He can hand out more clean clothes and more eats than anyone else in the school. He is also F.ditor-in-Cliief of the Maroon and Gold, and a member of the grouji that always know their lessons in class. He is also a member of the Omega Chi Fraternity. Joseph J. Yacaboxis Malianov Citv. Pa. Yock is the handsome football player who just hates the women. . nd can he play football ■■ Just ask everyone in school and then you will have his history because he plays basketball and baseball as well. Yock is also on the Track Team and in the Dramatic Club. Esther R. Y eager -- ------ Philadelphia, Pa. There isn ' t much one can tell Esther in the line of studies. She has every book and autlioi down pat.

After the first few confusing weeks liad heen surmounted and the routine of college studies mastered things became couijiaratively easier. The memories of the eventful dip in the lagoon became less irksome and gradually faded into the aurora of pleas- ant memories. Customs came and went leaving us a bit more sober and disciplined. The Bon-Fire conducted by the school at the opening of football season was the initial debut of our class to the rest of the school. The men of the class furnished the wood for the occasion and as a whole the atfair was a success. The school as well as the merchants will never forget it. The Kids ' party next occupied our attention and under legalized supervision of the faculty the young bloods of the class sucked lolly-pops, twiddled thumbs, jumiJed rope, and indulged in many forms of sujipressed whoopee. Came King Winter and blew his frosty breath upon the campus. Through long winter nights young Frosh toiled .md burned the midnight oil. while the dreary howling wind sweijt across the campus keeping nightly vigil. While over all hung the dreaded pall of deficiencies. But scholarship ])revailed and the meek in- herited the earth. The class play furnished ample oiiportunities for the dramatists to display their talent. riitii as a final tribute to the year ' s activity e.iuie the From. a fitting close to the vear of vears. w. 19 a 9 c«-J?SPii cv; :rr C3jn oi Nfl ' ggw a a a;!2a]| $? 197 k PF Q OBITER iqr fr fr 6 g C5 Vg a R X ivrJ75 n JoHX Cowley Adamsos - Sarah Rose Albright Susie L.

Its nicmhership consists of repre- sentatives from each of the various classes. The represejitatives are nominated and elected by the students of Waller Hall at a stated time and hold their office for one year. The Governing Board makes and enforces regulations pertaining to all condi- tioTis in the dormitory. In addition to its executi c :ind judicial work tin- Govirning Board functions through these committees: 1. Finance committee which collects and dishurses the funds, and makes out and keeps the budget in a healthy financial condition. ' 2. A Fire-drill committer which regulates and supervises tire-drills in Waller Hall. 3. A House committee which reports on condition of halls, press-rooms and lavatories, and recommends repairs and improvements. 4, A Social connnittee which plans for dormitory parties and for suit- able observance of holiday seasons in the dormitory.

We as an organization are grateful to the administration for the privileges extended to us as responsibilities, and do pledge ourselves to do every- thing within our power that we may prove deserving of this recognition. The organization meets twice a month. At this time the members have oppor- tunities to openly discuss any matter which they feel will benefit themselves indi- vidually, or the organization as a whole. This method of discipline has contributed much toward the development of the mental, moral, and pliysieal wants of each mem- ber of the Association. The organization also does much in a social way about the campus. Tlie an- nual festivities sponsored by the members of the council and adhered to by the in- coming Freshmen, much to tiieir dislike, prove to be the events that create the enthusiasm in tlie hearts of the upperclassmen. Drifting to the more informal social events we naturally recall tlie Smokers where Politics assuming the form of King Humor ran high. On behalf of the members who leave we say Adieu and may success follow you in your ])rofession. k SiJK: [jijg gggglSS I ' isJ ' J CC iCl-rSCtrii Jj 19 a 208 | IZ s .•i ' !ava sa va• •l Ji obiter I Felloxcship ga ha; gflilP i I — OBITER L J5 ' ■i L -J: rl ' ■iiv J ' : ( J5rlrcv?Jv:ia c ' Jrif SS 5GE C, A. Tile great work of tlie Y. W. C. A. lies in creating a four square life upon our college campus. This has been attempted by rendering service wherever it has been needed, by contributing to the social life of the college, by sponsoring the Little Sister Movement, and liv wcrkly nit-etings wliicli have been arranged .-md conducted by Y members. Throughout the year we have had various seasonal jirograms and special speakers, including members of the faculty, the community, and other organ- izations. There have been several joint Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C A. meetings with lively debates and discussions led by the Y. M. C. A. members. At the beginning of the year the Y. V. C. A., with the co-o])eration and help of the Y. M. C. A. and Faculty, gave a Welcome Rece])tion to the students of the college. Each year the Y. W. C. A. eagerly plans and looks forward to this event. Early in November a formal dance w;is successfully managed through the earnest co-operation of the Y nienibers. In April of last year, we were representeil by four Cabinet members at the an- nual Teachers ' College Conference held at West Chester. Much credit for this conference is due to the leader. Maudrue O ' Coniiell. one of cuir active Cabinet mem- bers, who represents the State Tachers ' Colleges of Pennsylvania on the National Student Council. And last June we were again represented by four Cabinet mem- bers at the annual Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. Conference held at Eagles Mere. At this conference many ideas and suggestions were given which have helped us greatly in our work. We. the ]iresent Seniors, feel that our successful Y year has been due to the steady guid.-mee and untiring efforts of our faculty advisor. Miss Mason. To the newly installed Cabinet who will have the ])rivilege of carrying on and improving u])on our work, we wish the utuuist ha|))iiiu-ss and success.

The paper contained weekly news of the student activities, sports, literary articles, and poems contributed by the students. At the opening of the college year in September, the administrative heads of the staff began to publish a paper that had far exceeded their original expectations. To make the Maroon and Gold a pa])er of. about, and for the students of the college was the chief aim of the staff ' at the beginning of the 1928-1929 term. The first step was the establishing of a six-page paper instead of the hereto- fore four-page edition. The student body responded with support and co-opera- tion to make the paper a success. Additional departments were added and each tnember of the staff was made responsible for certain work. The staff met once a week in order to face and discuss different problems that came up concerning the paper. They worked hard and presented articles of campus importance, which reflected greatly their journalistic abilities. The success of the paper in part may be attributed to Prof. S. L. Wilson, who directed the staff ' tlirouu-ji many of the difficult situations tiiat arose during the year. EXECUTIVE BOARD Clarence R. Wolever Esther Ye. oer W.

Realizing this a first aid club was formed under the capable direction of E. H. Nelson. During tlie first semester forty members joined the club and received practical instruction in the art of first aid treatment. Valuable information was received from local Boy Scout troops who attended several of the meet- ings and gave demonstrations. Since the first meetings the club has progressed rapidly in such work as bandaging, tying knots. Imaginary cases such as a broken limb or a severe cut are brought before the members to solve. The club is confident of accom- plishing a great deal towards efficiency in rendering first aid. 1 4ri:sx 5Q ' iCi- ' 5cnisx-J5 19 a 9 218 I i isg v  a - ygv a ' ' OBITER !g First Rote Lena Serafixe axxa jsexberg Emma Hibiax Eleaxor Zydaxowicz Marv Storosko Mary Galgaxowicz Elizabeth Hali ' pka Second Row Marv Ross Margaret Ketcham Florence Regan Ruth Scaxlox ' AxxA Farrell Dorothea O ' Coxxell Marv Melan Doris Li ce Third Row Eleaxor Pilsox Marv Johxsox Viola Libixski Airelia Bovle Mildred Strvjak Lenore Austin Mariox Ashworth AxxA Miller I 1 f Fourth Row Margaret Shultz Gertrcde Garvev Eva Wojcik Stella Stuxger Isabel Witkoski Mildred Matthews Grace Shade Fifth Row Mary Gibbons Mabel Bittexbexder E.

The chief aim of the club is to throw light on those phases of literature of interest to the members. The Lantern Club, even though a literary club, is so called because, we, the members, use a lantern in illustrations to our talks on some writer, or book, or poem. The lantern is one for opaque projection and so permits us to show on the screen, pictures on postcards, in books, and in magazines. This material we collect ourselves. Pedagogically speaking, the Lantern Club has pinned its faith to visual education.

Among the outstanding events are reviews of new books in our field, as Microbe Hunters, Arcturus Adventure. Bambi. We have had many out-door trips and meals. Who can ever forget The Quaking Earth. The Cave of the Bats. The Beaver-gnawed Tree, The Twin Hills or the sleighride to Millville.? We liave had demonstrations of various types. Remember the time we ate fig bars and talked of the enchanting adventures of the Fig-Insect 1 Remember the course dinner we cooked and served for ourselves in tlie Y.

Modern schools realize that if tlie })U])ils are to appreciate their environment tliev must begin in school to do it. To fulfill this ])ur])ose schools have been increasing the oppor- tunities for extra-curricular activity in the fields of Drama and Music. Our col- lege is providing a variety of such 0])])ortunities so that future teachers will he bet- ter fitted to emphasize this to their pupils. Dramatic work has become of increasing importance under the leadership of Miss Johnson. She started several years ago a dramatic club with only a few mem- bers. It is now the largest club in the school. Besides the annual drjiniatie club production each class presents a play. Students not desiring to enroll in the Dr.iiuatie Club but interested in music have opportunities to express their musical talent under the direction of Mr. Fenste- maker. Miss Caldwell. Miss Patterson. Mrs. Miller or Dr. Clark. In response to the demands of the men a Men ' s Glee Club was foruu-d. For several years it led a spasmodic life but through the direction of Dr. Cl.ark a glee club has been developed which is an asset to the college. Opportunity for displaying talent with musical instruments is provided in the College Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Fenstemaker. The or- chestra has proved a source of enjoyment not only to the members but to the whole student body. 19 a 9 :t.i55f i cv; v iV3Jij i 245 ? j a g l| OBITER L- ' v:i ' 2v :: ri ' - iv rr T2vc ri ' Cv?J5 oi «j:ifi i So This Is London There is no doubt tliat one of the most enjoyable plaj ' s produced was, So Tliis Is London. given by the Freshman Class on February 2, 1928.

Aside from their own work they have staged several public presentations, giv- ing one long play each year as well as many one-act plays. Last year the long play was As You Like It. It was beautifully staged, costumed and pre- sented in the grove. The natural setting was very eflfective. In nineteen twenty-seven the club established the custom of producing for the public a play tournament composed of three one-act plays. Last year tile three plays presented were ' Wedding Presents. by Joiin Rogers; Mis ' Mercy. a Harvard workshop play; and Speaking to Father. by George Ade. Speaking to Father was awarded first place. Honorable mention was given Elfed Jones and Dorothy Richards, who took part in Wedding Presents and Mis ' Mercy. The great work of the club, however, lies not in the public productions but in the one-act plays produced at each weekly meeting before the ilub. Through these plays the members acquire training in acting, directng. and pro- ducing. In addition to the skill acquired an appreciation for good plays is stimulated. Our aim is not primarily to produce stars but to receive training so that we may train others. Alpha Psi Omega, the National Honorary Dramatic Fraternity, has granted the club the right to establish a chapter. On March 3.

S 5 The Symphony Orchestra Among the inanv progressive movements sponsored by the college and the stu- dents this year, the symphony orchestra stands pre-eminent. This organization proved a mecca for the talented musicians who entered the school in the fall of 1928. With experienced members from last year and the new crop of Do Re, Mi ' s, the orchestra soon developed under the capable leadership of Professor How- ard Fenstemaker into an organization tliat created favorable comment for them- selves and the school. s Practicallv all the credit that this organization has achieved is due to the man behind the stick. His advice, encouragement, patience, and knowledge of music transforms this group of self-conscious amateurs into an atmosphere of profes- sionalism. The combination of instruments blended well and with the wliole-hearted co- opcrati(m of everv number, offered concerts which were a treat to the music-lover.

Before we iiad iiardly known liiui he had reorganized last year ' s orchestra. This Frosh was none other than Jack Taylor. Undtv his direction the orchestra developed into a classy and snapi)y little band. Let us give you a brief review of the personnel of this band: the three saxo- phonists Davis, Siesko and Shoemaker are merry makers within themselves pos- sessing that harmony and rhythm essential in a good band; tiuii tiiere is Hibbard who all but makes the piano talk; Brooke Yeager handles his drums with nuirked precision, the result of years of experience; and now we turn to the brass instru- ments, Litwhiler with his trunii)et. Kurtz with his slide trombone; iioth men are masters of their instruments. The men of this orchestra are to be commended for their efforts in producing a band thus satisfying the students ' desires for after dinner music. We hope that in the future this oi ' chestra will be able to take the place of outside marauding bands. i Is ggss iir TP e l iQaQ 1 mi 258 I i Wai.tkr M. Siesko, Sajophoni ' ])avii) K.

Several times our team was within scoring distance but lacked the necessary punch to )iut the ball over.

Captain Eckie Kraynack was responsible for our first score when he made a sensational catch of a forward pass thrown by Kirker and dodged his way over the line. Heck Mowrer. our own little rabbit, dodged and twisted his way 20 yards through the entire Lock Haven team for the second score. Due to the wet condition of the ball both attempts for the extra points failed. Frequent fumbles held down the score of our team. Lock Haven could do nothing against our impregnable de- fense and were forced to kick frequently. B. S. T.

Using a smashing attack consisting of line bucks and ofTtackle plays with Kraynack, Jones, and Kirker carrying the brunt of the attack, the ball was ))ushed to within several yards of Mansfield ' s goal. Kirker scored the first touchdown on an oft ' tackle l lay and Jatfin ran wild around end to score the second touchdown. Mansfield never threatened after the first (juarter wlien they held the ball in- side of Bloomsburg ' s 20 yard line. i I B. S. T.

Bloom put up a great fighting game and succeeded in holding Sem on an even basis in the first half. But handicapped by the loss of Captain Kraynack, who was carried from the field with a badly wrenched knee. Bloom seemed to weaken and the heavier Sem team rode roughshod over them. Bloomsburg never gave up trying and many of the men were out on their feet but refused to leave the game. Semi- nary inserted fresh men often and wore down our fighting eleven, who were handi- capped by having no substitutes to take their places.

Coach Robert Dew --_-_-----_ Manager Charles Wadas --------- Captatn-elect Basketball went tlirougli the readjustment stage in H)28- ' 29. Due to the ab- senc e of Francis Garrity. Captain-elect, and star guard. Joe Wadas was appointed temporary Captain. Joe gave a good account of himself while acting as Captain. Later Tam Kirker was elected Captain. The early season found the Maroon and Gold team travelling at a rapid pace. On December 12 the team easily defeated tlie strong . lumni. Two days later they trounced Kutztown by a 58-33 score. The high ligiits of the early part of the sea- son came when we played West Chester and Mansfield. M ' est Chester we beat by a one point margin, when Wadas and Wambaugh shot sensational goals in the last few seconds. Mansfield beat us b} ' one point. This game was later ruled out inas- much as Mansfield had an ineligible plaj-er. During the latter jiart of tlie season the team lost two good men. Wambaiigii. the team ' s pivot man. and Kirker. rangy forward. Wilbur Fisher and Henry Mor- gans filled the vacant positions. Both of these men were versed in the art of rapid shooting and did much to rejuvenate the team. Joseph Yacabonis and Frank Golder did great work on the floor. Yock. with his experience, proved himself a valuable asset to the team. Golder. although some- what weak on shooting, proved himself one of the best guards Bloom ever produced. Bob Wilson, a fast forward, and Henry Warman. a guard, both saw service in many of the games. In Charles Wadas the team had a valuable jjlayer. His consistent fighting spirit was the secret of many victories. The team will find in him a capable leader next year. The season closed with the iiardest fought and most thrilling game of the sea- son. Millersville played brilliant ball, they led throughout the game until the last few minutes. Then Bloom, playing its final and greatest game, spurted ahead and kept the lead until the final whistle. So ended the greatest basketball season Blooms- burg ever saw. Bloomsburg ' s 1928- ' 29 basketball team thus proved the right to the title Cham- pions of State Teachers ' Colleges of Eastern Pennsylvania. Two men will be lost to the team next year. Wilbur Fisher and Henry Mor- gans, both having played two years of varsity ball, will graduate. j i |Sgg gygg=;qBa ri iSvi ' j:5 ' i -r ri ' TiNXJ5 19 2 272 ff f a i i iN:t, 2 A ' ) 2rl 5 ' l Srl 5.) c2 1 5 .i OBITER aE[ Robert Wilson Thomas Kirker Chari.ks W ' adas Joseph YAC.iioxis Hexrv Morgans 1928-29 CHAMPS Second Hiiw T.

The boys hiked to the gymnasium every evening to limber up for the coming season. A large number of candiates reported for duty, and among them were many veterans who had previously seen service with the Maroon and Gold. Bobby Wilson, one of the best infielders ever seen here, was elected captain of the team. Some of the other veterans to return were: Out- field. Red Garrity. Hidlay. Vital, and Kraynack. Golder, a Freshman, gave promise of offering competition for an outfield berth. Among the infielders to return were: Slusser. Wilson. McGrath. Wadas. and Kraftchick. Heck Mowrer showed up well in practice and earned a position on the Varsity. With Fritz, a veteran pitcher, and Creveling and Morgans. Freshmen, as pitchers, and Zeveny and Yockabonis as catchers, the team gave promise of being a well balanced nine. Playing a fine brand of ball the nine ably kept the name of Bloomsburg in the limelight. Two of the outstanding games of the year were played against Mansfield and Wyoming Seminary here. Mansfield was defeated 6-.5 in twelve innings, and Semi- nary 3-2 in ten innings. Heinie Morgans was the winning pitcher in the first contest, and Lew Creveling in the second.

Ca ' fahi With tile ai)i)ro;n ' li of si rini; tlit- attention of the colk-ge was turntd to track and thoughts of another good season. Coach E. Jones issued a call for candidates and a large numlur of aspirants responded. After a few weeks of practice try-outs were held to pick out a team to enter the Annual University of Pennsylvania Relay Carnival. Tlie relay team selected was: Captain Ralph Davies,. Keller. Jaffin, Parr. Tlcse four men along with Coach .Jones made tiie trip to Philadel])hia i)y train. Due to the fact tliat tlie track was soggy and muddy the team did not ])lace hut made a very creditalile showing. Not a bit discouraged over their failure to ))lace in the relays the team re- turned home and went to work in earnest to prepare for future meets. Tlie boys under the leadership of Captain Davies and the guidance of Coach Jones worked hard every evening with the idea of surjtassing the records of any other track team that re])resented this college. The team composed of six men journeyed to West Chester and entered the track meet held at that place. Although handicapi)ed by the fact that there were only six entries Coach Jones ' proteges finished in third place and set an enviable record for tiie other schools to aim at. Cai)tain Davies placed first in the 2 J0 yard low hurdles in the remarkable time of 26 seconds. Captain-elect Jatfin placed first in the no yard dash, while Siesko. Kirker, and Yockabonis succeeded in placing in their events. The relay team composed of Davies. Wolever, Keller and .latfin fin- ished third and Davies also finished third in tlie JJO yard dash. At the close of the season Nick Jatfin was elected captain to fill the shoes of Ralph Davies, who captained the team two successive seasons. Much credit is due Coach Jones for the remarkable record he established with so small a squad. 278 ■v ravxg vavss vavsg o VNgy gg ai i f- r ■ -r f p 2a I Joseph Yacabonis Walter Siesko Ariiaxd Kellek Ralph Davies, Captain Nick Jaffin, Captain -elect Thomas Kirkeh Elfed Joxes, Coach g]_T92 ■ j v ?

The success of the team was due to the -willingness on the part of the players and to the untiring efforts on the part of Coach .1. C. Kocli. who spent day after day on the courts training his small squad. Tennis being a new sjjort and not fully developed did not draw many candi- dates. When Coach Koch put out his call for candidates, a very small number re- sponded. He was seriously handicapped by nunilurs but with never a grumble he and the boys settled down and worked with a ze.il that carritd them through a suc- cessful season. The team was made up of Captain Gallagher. C. Ruch. H. Fortner and W. Rholand. . lthough few in nimiber these boys made their presence felt in all matches and always made the opposing team travel at to)) speed to lefeat them. The team journeyed to Mansfield along with our baseball squad but here they met defeat at the hands of Mansfield ' s court team. Later Mansfield came to Blooms- burg and again succeeded in defeating our boys in a close match. The next two matches were with Wyoming Seminary and we broke even in these contests. In the first game our tennis team playing a sujierior brand of tennis easily defeated Wyoming but in the second contest although playing sensational tennis, the breaks went to Wyoming and they nosed out a victory. A great deal of credit is due to Coach Koch and his small squad for the contri- bution they have made to tennis in this college. They have given tennis its start here and have built a foundation for the game. With this excellent start there is no reason why tennis should not grow at this school. The prospects for next year seem very bright for a highly successfid season as Gallagher, Rucli. and Fortner of last year ' s team will return. Thanks for the start you h.ive made in tennis, team of ' 28, and best wishes for a successful season in ' 29. |l! jgZ g ' ' ' A B sfr B ? tfg 9 a 9 % e] 280  v.vji vavv 5 gS 1 ?j i ?

UPPERCLASSMEX The Upperclassmen defeated the Freshman team by the score of 18-0. The uppers were led by Bobby Wilson and the Frosh by Joe Ichter. The Frosh were stage struck at the beginning of the fray but soon recovered and put up a battle that would do credit to many a good team. The Frosh kicked off and soon the Uppers had the ball in dangerous territory. With the ball on the Frosh 10 yard line Wilson threw a forward pass to Slusser who carried the ball over for the first score. Wilson tried a dropkick but failed. The first half ended with the ball in Frosh territory in the Seniors ' possession. The second half opened with the Uppers receiving, and after that talk that Coach Kray- nack gave the boys between halves they were ready to tear the Frosh to pieces. It was not long till Wilson scored another touchdown via the forward pass and took the pep out of tlie first year men. The try for extra point failed. The Frosh were determined to score at least one touchdown and it looked as if they would suc- ceed when Ichter ran 30 yards around end. Their hopes were soon blasted when they were forced to kick. Wilson scored the final points when he carried the ball 25 yards through the Freshman line.

Every girl has a chance to take part in hockey, volley ball, basketball, tennis, skating and hiking. |C]| The major sports, hockey, volley ball, basketball and baseball, are staged in the Yf form of tournaments. The winning Freshman team plays the Senior winners for school championship. A tennis tournament is also held for all who care to play. lany good times are had on hikes. Every girl knows tiie way to the Rose Tea Room at Light Street and many have visited the Catawissa fire tower and other places of interest. During the skating season many i leasant hours are spent on the ice. Some girls hike to the various places while others prefer riding on the bus. Espy bog and Arbutus Park seem to be the popular places for this sport. Each year the interest in athletics is growing and we know that athletics in the future are going to hold an even bigger place in the school life of every girl for hours of fun are not soon forgotten. 283 Mfc OBITER K- ' 5 ' CS. - l- iv -5rr-Cv( -5rir2v?J5 ' iiCX -r: iim rcA i Girls ' Letter Club s Tlie Girls ' Letttr Club is made up of girls wlio havt- won the B award in athletics.

To be a good hockey player one mu--t have speed, good judgment and above all a quick eye. It is the duty of the Seniors to show the Freshmen how to play. The Senior team cer- tainly did show the Freshmen this year. Jarzenbowicz s team went through the season with- out losing a game. No other team scored against them. Jarzenbowicz and Griffith carried the team through to success with their brilliant playing. The hockey games are played in the form of a tournament and the team winning all or the most number of games wins the tournament. The Senior Hockey Teams are in charge of Miss McCammon, the jihysical director.

The incoming fresJinun are rather green in the game and of course the game offers thrills galore for the inexperienced player, and also ])rovides fun for the onlookers. A small but agile team led by Ruth Sonner proved too strong for the other freshmen teams who opposed them. The best game of the season was the one which included the two strongest teams. Although Sonner ' s team proved the victors, the work of parrow ' s team was great. b S i S a g sr bgr5 q v i ' avsfl w ax a fl 19 :2 9 287 OBITER h Q I SiD lvJ5 ' -SJv : fl ' -i2v v-5ri ' i:v( - rA iN.CJ5 a Cl -r: IK Basketball Tournameiit The girls ' tournament of the upper classmen played this year at B.

We soon adapted ourselves to college life and all the customs that govern the first year man or woman on the campus. The class of ' 29 soon became an important unit of the college and in all its activities. Archibald Reese was chosen president and under his leadership the year ' s activities were successfully carried out. The Kids ' Part}- was held and with the aid of our advisor proved a success. The whole school came to our play, So This Is London. The Junior prom was held and its success gave evidence of the spirit of the class behind it.
