Members of Mr. Albert’s graduating class of the College, the Class of 1879, were guests of honor at the ceremony and others attending included relatives, former pupils and friends of the man in whose distinction the meeting had been called. 2 THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY Samuel J. Johnston, of town, a member of the Class of 1893, presented the plaque to Dr. Francis B. Haas, President of the College. Preceding the unveiling, the plaque was covered with a maroon and gold cloth and stood before a basket of large white and rust chrysanthemums. Candelebras at each side of the bouquet added to the effectiveness of the scene. Those on the program as well as the honored guests were seated about a long table placed in front of one of the large windows of the room. Other guests occupied chairs placed about the floor, almost filling the interior of the room. Dr. D. J. Waller, Jr., of the Class of 1867, now President Emeritus of the College, delivered the invocation. Miss Hannah Breece, of the Class of 1879, of which Professor Albert was a member, earnestly expressed her esteem and affection for her classmate, explaining that throughout the years of her acquaintanceship with him she has known him as an “outstanding man, deep in thought and kindly in manner.” Four plaques will occupy the walls of the school now, she explained, honoring Professor Noetling and Professor Bakeless, both passed on, and Dr. Waller and Professor Albert. The Class of 1879, she reported, has been an honor to the school, having been started on the foundation of prayer with the members pledged to try to make at least a little bit of the world better. An eloquent and reverent tribute to Professor Albert was paid by an associate faculty member, Dr. D. S. Hartline, who explained that the former had always been infused with the spirit of the “true teacher.” He went on to explain some of the reasons why classmates, pupils and associate teachers hold Professor Albert “in dear remembrance.” He related a classroom incident in which he overheard a student of Professor Albert remark, “One is always happier and better having been in one of that man’s classes.” L. P. Bierly, of West Pittston, a graduate of 1895 and a co-worker of Professor Albert, said in regard to the guest of honor, “He found himself early in life he had his ; THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY 3 vision and he stuck to it. He had noble ideals in his profession and wherever he was called upon to serve. He is loyal, earnest, painstaking, devoted and forceful.” In presenting the plaque, Mr. Johnson related some of his experiences with Professor Albert when the former was a boy of nine. “He became my ideal,” Mr. Johnson stated. “As a citizen of Bloomsburg, there has never been a civic enterprise to which Professor Albert has not given of his time, energy and money. I know that he more than any one man has advertised this school to the four corners of the United States.” Dr. Haas received the plaque after its unveiling, declaring, “Professor Albert is an outstanding representative of the tenders of the temples of the United States, which are the school-houses of America.” In closing he read a portion of the poem, “Alma Mater,” written by Dean W. B. Sutliff, of town. Five members of Professor Albert’s class, the Class of 1879, were present: Mrs. J. C. Kunkle, the former Miss Miss Louise Robbins; Miss Hannah Ida Turnbach Breece Mrs. W. C. Bond, the former Miss Ella Allen, and ; ; Mr. Albert. of Professor Albert’s family who attended as follows: Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Albert and son, Charles, Jr., of Wilkes-Barre; the Rev. and Mrs. Dallas C. Baer and children, Mary and Ruth, of Selinsgrove Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Y. Glenn, of Berwick and Mr. and Mrs. R.

Students, faculty and others connected with the institution climaxed weeks of preparation, being on the ity of job from early morning until late at night seeing that the visitors had a fine time. In this they were successful. The program opened with the presentation of a plaque in honor of Professor Charles H. Albert, one of the beloved “Old Guard” of the institution. The splendid Maroon and Gold Band entertained with a concert in the gymnasium during the morning and the Maroon and Gold orchestra provided music during the dinner. The Husky football team lost to Shippensburg, 7-0, but otherwise the Bloomsburg teams were successful, the soccer team triumphing over Lock Haven, 4-0, and the cross country team downing powerful West Chester, 22-23. There was an informal tea following the football, which attracted around 3,000, and the concluding feature was an informal dance in the decorated gymnasium. The program of the Maroon and Gold Band presented during the morning concert follows: “Salute to Shippensburg,” “On the Square,” “Lustspiel,” “The Pathfinder,” “Aida,” “Regimental Band,” “Them Basses,” “Victor Herbert Favorites,” “Golden Spur,” and “Annie Lisle,” the Alma Mater of Shippensburg and Bloomsburg. THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY 5 W illiamj White; jE vans W ILLIAM WHITE EVANS, County Superintendent of Schools in Columbia County since 1902, died at his home on East Second Street, Bloomsburg, at 9 :20 o’clock Thursday, October 6. He was taken ill April 25 and before the close of the school terms throughout the county found it necessary to relinquish his work here and place himself in the hands of Dr. George Pfahler, the noted Philadelphia specialist. He was under his care much of the time since, and there were periods when it was thought the disease had been arrested. He was compelled, however, to take to his bed several weeks before, and for some days his condition had been critical. Mr. Evans, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter A. Evans, was born on the Evans’ homestead in Montour Township, April 4, 1873. His first teacher in the school at Rupert was Mrs. Ellen Schooniver, later an instructor at the Bloomsburg State Normal School. He subsequently attended the Bloomsburg State Normal School during the Spring terms, teaching during the winter to defray his expenses. He was graduated from the Bloomsburg State Normal School in 1894. After that he taught in various schools in the county, and was the first principal of the Orangeville school after its purchase by the township from the Orangeville Seminary stockholders. Following that experience he taught at Huntington Mills and West Pittston, both in Luzerne county. He took a college course at the University of Wooster, Wooster, Ohio, and returned to Bloomsburg to teach in the high school. He was thus engaged in May, 1902, when he was first elected to the superintendency. During most of the times he came up for re-election lie was without opposition, as was the case this Spring when he was again re-elected. He became ill shortly thereafter in fact, it was necessary for him to take the oath of office in Philadelphia, where he had gone for treatment for the disease which was later to claim his life, ; life. 6 THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY Columbia County’s rural schools and their presentday efficiency in no small degree represent the work of County Superintendent Evans, who brought to the work when he was first elected in 1902, an initiative and breadth of view that before long was recognized throughout the entire state. Columbia County has done much in an educational way that has set the standard for the state, and nowhere so much as in its rural school work, under the leadership of Superintendent Evans, has this been true. Columbia County has always been a trail blazer, and much of this has been due to the efforts of the superintendent. He was one of the first to grasp the possibilities of the vocational school, and the chain of vocational schools which now dot the rural section of the county came largely under his inspirational leadership. The, school consolidation idea, where practical, was another project that came to fruition in the county under his leadership. He was one of the first to recognize the need for a return to fundamentals and the spelling, arithmetic and public speaking contests, known the county over, were instituted by him years ago in furthering the cause of education. It was his initiative that brought a greater appreciation of art into the rural schools and he inspired the proper decoration of school rooms, as well as school grounds. Experts were brought here to further the idea. The district institutes and school fairs, held in connection with the Farm Bureau and the Sabbath School Association, were further means adopted of linking the home and the school together. His close contact with the teachers through the monthly meetings of the Columbia County Teachers’ Association, brought big returns to the patrons of the school as a result of the inspiration these meetings have furnished. To tell in detail the multiplied activities of the county superintendent’s office in the last thirty-six years, would require volumes, but it would tell of far-sighted, broad-visioned effort to give Columbia County the best there is to be had, educationally speaking. In the development of the county’s educational interests Mr. Evans worked for years in the outlying sections of the county in promoting the program of education — : THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY 7 which has meant so much to the county. Nowhere has this extension work been carried out on a more extended scale, and nowhere has there been closer cooperation between the rural schools and the experts of the State Department of Education and State College. The place which Mr. Evans had won for himself in the field of education was illustrated some years ago when he was elected president of the State Educational Association. His services were widely in demand as a speaker on educational subjects; he was considered an authority on the subject of rural education and its problems. Mr. Evans served as the first president of the ColumCounty Historical Society. He gave the County Farm Bureau the greatest support and co-operation. As chairman of the Columbia County Chapter of the Red Cross throughout the war he gave untiring service for years. With practically every movement that has looked toward the growth of the town and county he has had a part and no small one. He was vice-president of the Columbia County Trust Company, and a director of the Bloomsburg Bank-Columbia Trust Company following the merger. He was a charter member and past president of the Bloomsburg Rotary Club. He was affiliated with the various bodies of Caldwell Consistory and a member of the First Presbyterian Church, where for a number of years he taught a Sunday School class. He had for several years been a trustee of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College. bia Tragically enough, his death came just at the time when the school consolidations he had so long pictured were be- coming realities. Surviving him are his wife by his second marriage, the former Mrs. Elizabeth Roman Rutter, for a number of years a teacher in the Berwick schools, and four daughters by his first marriage to Miss Bertha Rees, of Taylor, whose death occurred some years ago. The children are Mrs. George J. Keller, of Bloomsburg; Mrs. Francis Parker, of Belleville, N. J. Miss Esther Evans, of Annville, and Miss Mary Evans, at home. Also surviving are a step-son, Edwin W. Rutter, at home, and a brother and sister: Harry I. Evans, of East Fourth street, and Mrs. J. S. John, of West Main street. ; THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY 8 GUIDANCE COUNSELOR ADVISES STUDENTS TO FIND APTITUDES Jill Edwards, noted vocational guidance counselor of Chicago, who spoke at the College Friday, October 7, advised the students of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College that achieving success in life depends on developing an attractive personality, and on finding out exactly what work one is best fitted for. Speaking at the school assembly, Miss Edwards explained that psychologists have finally caught up with the great human problem of determining fitness for jobs scientific tests for actually measuring individual aptitudes. “We have found that most persons use only thirty per cent of their abilities merely because they are not aware that they possess them,” she said. “In seven of ten instances, young people choose careers by accident or force of circumstances and go through life wondering why they are discontented and unsuccessful.” Miss Edwards, who has counseled more than 3,000,000 young people in three coast-to-coast tours of American schools, urged the students to find out what their natural aptitudes are before choosing a career or a course of study, and declared “As the value of vocational guidance through scientific testing is becoming familiar throughout the country, more and more business executives are choosing job applicants on the basis of their specific abilities for any given task.” Miss Edwards’ own attractiveness gave weight to her counsel with regard to developing personality. This can be accomplished, through finding “joy in living,” she said, and presented the seven points of her personality creed as follows: through development of : 1 . I 2. something today about my health, my figure, appearance, my voice and my speech habits. shall do my I shall learn something state of joyous growth. today because I believe in the THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY 9 3. I shall employ the light touch today and bring joy and laughter to at least one person. 4. I shall use the gracious others. 5. I shall develop my ways today in my contact with senses today in appreciation of beauty. 6. I shall have faith today in the Great Creative Force and realize that I am an important part of a great plan. 7. I shall live valiantly today. Following her lecture, Miss Edwards gave individual counsel to many of the students. The Jitney Players, who have played at the leadingcolleges and have been in existence for about fifteen years, will perform at the Bloomsburg College January 1 1. This group is sponsored by a number of outstandingartists, including Catherine Cornell, America’s foremost actress. One of the most noted concert dancers in America and the most prominent exponent of the art of classic pantomime, Miriam Marmein, will bring her ensemble to the local platform February 3. This program is notable for its originality, beauty and variety, and includes numbers of both dramatic and humorous vein. All are strikingly costumed. Miss Marmein has appeared in Europe and has been soloist at Carnegie Hall, New York, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music, as well as being with the New York and Philharmonic Orchestras for several seasons. The last number on the entertainment series will be the Zimmer Harp Trio, who are making their tenth transcontinental tour and will appear with Thomas Curley, baritone. The three women musicians, who have been received by critics and music lovers with great enthusiasm for their far-reaching contribution to the concert platform, will entertain with a program of surprising variety and interest. 10 THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY O \ -O Columbia County O - Institute j o Hr HE EIGHTY-SECOND annual Institute of Columbia County teachers was held at the College, November 21 and 22. The Institute was under the direction of Ray M. Cole ’ll, newly appointed superintendent of the Columbia County schools. The program included a memorial service held in memory of the late William W. Evans, for many years County Superintendent. The service was conducted by the Rev. Samuel Harker, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Bloomsburg. The College was well represented on the institute program. Members of the faculty who participated were: Dr. H. Harrison Russell, Prof. Earl N. Rhodes, Miss Edna Hazen and Miss May T. Hayden. One of the general sessions was opened by a short concert presented by the Maroon and Gold Orchestra, and at another session several numbers were sung by the A Capella Choir. The College provided the talent for an evening entertainment, consisting of a one-act play by the Dramatic Club, xylophone numbers by Miss Ethel Ruth, selections on the marimba by Miss Candace Dietrich, and a showing of the College film “Alma Mater.” The Bloomsburg State Teachers College broadcast a radio program over station WKOK, Sunbury, from 7 to 7 :30, Wednesday evening, October 26. The theme of the program was devoted to Home-Coming Day, a celebration of the Centennial Year of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College. Dr. Francis B. Haas, President of Bloomsburg State Teachers College Dr. Kimber Kuster, chairman of HomeComing Day Committee; Mr. Bruce Albert, President of the B. S. T. C. Alumni Association, and Dr. E. H. Nelson of the College faculty, spoke briefly. ; THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY PROF. KELLER WINS 11 FAME Professor George J. Keller, member of the State Teachers College faculty, who is widely known throughout the country for his unusual hobby of training wild animals presented for the first time his new colored film called “Jungle Farm” for the under-graduates at the Bloomsburg State Teachers College on December 2nd in the College auditorium. “Jungle Farm” is a most unusual picture, in that it presents its story of circus life from the inside looking through the eyes of the showman. Most circus films merely portray life from the onlooker’s point of view. Now, featured in the film is a collection of albino animals, largest in the world at the present time, including a deer, squirrels, a porcupine, a raccoon, a possum, a fox, owls, and a groundhog, an interesting episode shows a freak wind storm destroying the big top of Mr. Keller’s show, and includes the uneasiness of the animals during the storm another section of the film reveals the interesting life led by circus people behind the scenes and as a most interesting conclusion, the various steps of lion training from the beginning to the end are shown. These last pictures are taken from the inside of the trainingcage at once, and included in this group are two panthers, an African lion, a mountain lion, and a leopard. ; ; Professor Keller has received national prominence as a result of his interesting hobby, in which he is known as the only man in the world who trains teachers by day and lions by night. Professor Keller’s unusual ability with his hobby has been recognized by the following well- known publications: Time, Screen and Radio, Billboard, Popular Science Monthly, Life, and American Magazine. In addition, Professor Keller has appeared on radio over WOR, Newark, and WJZ and other stations on their system. Professor Keller’s last radio appearance was featured on the Jello “Hobby-Lobby” program. Such general interest has been aroused by this unusual teacher-showman that negotiations are pending whereby he may present his animal training exhibit at one of the following places next season Steel Pier, Atlantic City, Hershey Park, several circuses, and with the Frank Buck enterprises at the World’s Fair, New York City. : — ; ; ; ; THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY 12 SUSQUEHANNA RIVER IS INSPIRATION FOR POET LAUREATE OF CANADA A poem inspired by previous “Where the Susquehanna Floweth visits to this section, Her Lover in the Sea,’’ has been written by Wilson MacDonald, known as the poet laureate of Canada. It was recently set to music by the poet and was sung for the first time in the Bloomsto burg Teachers College auditorium Friday morning, Nov- ember 4. The premiere of the song was staged at Mr. MacDonald’s request and was sung at the assembly exercises by Miss Maree E. Pensyl, a member of the local high school faculty and possessor of a lovely soprano voice. Mr. MacDonald’s first appearance at the College was three years ago. He made a distinct hit with the rendition of his own poetry. “O the robin has a lover in the tree. the flowers are wooed by gallant knight-a-bee the Susquehanna flows wearing sunset like a rose, As she goes to meet her lover in the seas. All the world is full of lovers brave and true, There are sweethearts in the roses and the dew All the Summer gardens hold lovers dressed in green and And And gold, So why should I not be a lover too. Chorus “Where the Susquehanna floweth to her lover in the sea, waiting in the twilight and my thoughts flow out to thee Moon and star are softly gleaming, And my heart is dreaming, dreaming When the Susquehanna floweth to her lover in the sea. I am “What care 1 for all the lasses in the town ? What care I for silk or satin in a gown? Where the Susquehanna flows wearing sunset like a rose, simple country maiden dressed in brown. When the bloom is fragrant on the hawthorne tree, She rides down the Susquehanna to the sea; And the mountains grim and scarred rise above her like a guard, Lest her heart should seek some other knight-a-bee.’’ I’ve a THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY 13 FALL SPORTS The College was represented in three inter-collegiate sports during the Fall season football, soccer, and crosscountry. In the matter of victories, football fared the worst, winning one, tying one, and losing six. The soccer — squad won twice from Lock Haven, twice from Susquehanna University, and lost to East Stroudsburg. The crosscountry team won from West Chester 22-33 in the run at Bloomsburg on Home-coming Day and later in the season lost at West Chester by a single point in a 27-28 score. Slippery Rock was beaten 24-31. In an A. A. U. sponsored run held in Philadelphia a Bloomsburg boy, Dan Ivemple, placed fourth in a field of over one hundred. Don Earns won first county prize in the Berwick Marathon, placing fifteenth in the entire field. More than one hundred boys tried out for these various sports. Intra-mural activity attracted the interest of many more so the athletic fields were constantly busy. The program for women was varied and extensive, confined entirely to intra-mural activities. Just now the Winter season is getting under way, with basketball in the spot light for both men and women. The new physical education plant is nearly ready for use. Its completeness will add much to the worth and interest of the Health program.

The Bloomsburg State Teachers College has about of the enrollment of 666, highest in some years, commuting to classes. Some of the four hundred and six commuters must travel as far as Wilkes-Barre every day and some must travel only a block or two right two-thirds in town. A total of 406 students, both men and women, of the live off the campus. This is divided as fol- 666 enrollment lows : Men day students living at home, 155. Men day students living in town, 103. Women Women day students living at home, 119. day students living in town, 29. All of these must be classed as commuters, although some of them go only a block or two to classes. Others come from as far as Wilkes-Barre and other Susquehanna river communities, Shamokin, and towns in Columbia and Montour counties. The commercial bus, the private car and even the old Model T Ford of a decade or so back still play their important pails in the educational system that established in the county. is Except in the case of the heating plant, the masonry which is rapidly nearing completion, the exterior work on the new buildings is complete. The maintenance building, first to be completed, is now ready for final inspection and acceptance by the State Authority. The interior work in the Junior High School and the gymnasium is going rapidly, and there is no doubt that all of the buildings will be ready for dedication in May. The campus, which has been scarred by ditches made necessary for laying steam lines, will soon resume its former appearance, as the lines have been laid and the ditches are being filled. There is every indication that Bloomsburg graduates reof turning for the Centennial will find the campus greatly enlarged, and more beautiful than ever.

O : : • o — THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY To 27 All the Alumni:- The “Get-Together Parties” of the County Alumni Organizations were the most delightful in years. A meeting was held for Susquehanna-Wyoming Counties near Tunkhannock on October 6th. The Columbia County Group met in the College Dining Room October 14th. Dauphin and Cumberland Counties are back on the job again. A fine reunion was held at the Hotel Harrisburger, Harrisburg, October 22nd. Home-coming Day, October 29th, broke all records in attendance and interest. Hundreds of Alumni were back and enjoyed the fine program arranged for their pleasure and entertainment. On November 5th the Luzerne County Club met at the Hotel Mallow-Sterling in Wilkes-Barre. Snyder-Union Country Club held a reunion at the Hotel Lewisburger, Lewisburg, November 17th. Lackawanna County came to life and had a fine party at the Masonic Temple, Scranton, on November 18th. The “always active” Philadelphia Club held their luncheon at Gimbel’s, Philadelphia, on December 1 Oth. These Get-Together Parties were well attended. The interest and spirit were splendid. During the Spring months we are planning to have Reunions in Montour, Northumberland and Schuylkill Counties. The Centennial Celebration on May 26th and 27th will be a happy occasion. All Alumni are invited back. All classes will have Reunions, so plan to come and enjoy the program. But what about the Centennial Student Loan Fund Campaign for $50,000? This Fund will be the contribu- Alumni will give to the College in recognition of one hundred years of splendid service to youth. Frankly, I am disappointed. Unless every friend of Bloomsburg- is willing to help according to individual financial circumstances, our Campaign will be a failure. Do your share and do it now. We sure need your help in a most worthy tion the cause. With kind regards for the Centennial, I to all and hoping am to see you back Very truly yours, R. BRUCE ALBERT.

Only 940 questionnaires out of a possible 6,183 were returned THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY giving us the desired information. Obviously, under these conditions, a directory would be incomplete. The Board of Directors decided to publish a complete list of every graduating class. The names of those for whom we have the correct address will be given first; second, the names for whom we have no correct address; and third, the deceased members of the class. This directory will be started in this issue of the Quarterly and will run continuously until the entire Alumni files have been recorded. It is necessary for you to subscribe to the Quarterly immediately and continue your subscription, if you desire a complete directory. Montour County Alumni held their annual banquet in Danville, March 20. It was one of the best meetings in the history of this organization. There were 106 present to enjoy the fine program. Prior to the meeting, under the leadership of Mr. Fred W. Diehl, committees were appointed to boost the Centennial Student Loan Fund. As a result of their efforts more than sixty subscriptions were received. Every graduate now teaching in Montour County subscribed to the Fund. We wish every county organization would follow the example set by the loyal group in Montour County. The Philadelphia Club will hold its annual meeting on April 29 at the Bellevue in Philadelphia.

CENTENNIAL May 27th — THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY 10 CORRESPONDENCE Many interesting letters have been received from graduates and former students regarding the Centennial Student Loan Fund. The following letter is typical of the spirit and loyalty of former students. New York City, N. Y. 11, 1939. March Mr. R. Bruce Albert Bloomsburg, Pa. Dear Sir: Enclosed find my contribution to the Student Loan Fund. 1 had taught five years before 1 attended the Bloomsburg State Normal School, hence 1 was older than most of the other members of my class. I am now eightyeight years old, and must pay my contribution in one payment. I should be glad to give more, but feel that this is all I am warranted in giving. I hope so many who are still earning will be able to make up the full amount of fifty thousand dollars. I wish very much that I might be able to attend the sixty-fifth anniversary of my graduation, but 1 am not able now to travel alone, and 1 have no one to come with me. God bless the school. Yours very truly, Lorena G. Evans. QUOTATIONS FROM LETTERS “Enclosed find my check for a small amount. sorry I can’t do more.

Our hats are off to the members of the Senior Class and we appreciate the fine interest of the present student body in this worthy pro- mately 1 10, ject. Thirty-seven members of the faculty have subscribed to the Centennial Student Loan Fund. Thirty-three of them have joined the Centennial Club. We appreciate the splendid cooperation which indicates their interest m the institution and the student body. The Philadelphia Alumni organization joined the Centennial Club. By various social activities they have already realized more than seventy dollars. It would be fine if every local Alumni group would join the Centennial Club. The amount could be paid over a period of five years, if necessary. Members of various classes are requesting a complete list of their classmates. Letters are being mailed to classmates inviting them to the Centennial and asking their cooperation in the Loan Fund project. Every class should put on a similar campaign. We will gladly send a list of your classmates to you upon request. Contributions to the Centennial Student Loan Fund are being recorded by classes. The Class of 1911 is now leading the parade of classes, having replaced the Class of 1905. This class has eleven subscriptions in the amount of $485.00. The Class of 1905 is now in second position, THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY 12 having ten subscriptions in the amount of $442.00. Third position is retained by the Class of 1906, having seven subscriptions in the amount of $380.00. Fourth place is held by the Class of 1886, having seven subscriptions in the amount of $347.00. Doctor Nelson says that the Class of 1911 is the “only” class that ever graduated from the institution and will win with flying colors. Are other Classes willing to let him get away with this statement ? The average subscription to the Loan Fund is approximately $33.50 per person. This is really a good average, but we must have many more subscriptions in order to approach our objective. Some graduates hesitate to give because they cannot give in large amounts. Give according to your means, regardless of amount, and send in your subscription immediately. Many graduates have been interviewed and promised to send in their Agreement Cards before Alumni Day. We would appreciate your giving this matter consideration now. We have received in cash to date $3,512.20. Twenty students were granted loans which made possible the completion of the College semester. The Loan Committee is using great care and sound judgment in the granting of loans to students. Definite standards have been established and will be maintained. Only applicants meeting all the requirements and giving proper security will be favorably considered. Every graduate has received at least one letter and a subscription card. If you have not made a subscription, send in your card. Please do it as soon as possible. Many graduates are planning to enjoy the Centennial Celebration May 26th and 27th. All classes will be in reunion. Come back, enjoy the program, and see your old friends. The Rev. William H. Lilley, retired Evangelical minof the Central Pennsylvania Conference, and a graduate of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College, died at his home in Milton, Monday, January 16. He was 87 years of age. ister, oldest member 13 THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY Irma Russell Ward 5 Miss Irma R. Ward, of the faculty of the Blooms- burg State Teachers Coldied February 26, lege, 1939, after a brief illness. Although she was unassuming and somewhat reserved, the esteem and afher fection felt toward were evidenced by the numbers of people who came to the funeral home and to the funeral from near and far, by the many flowers sent, and by telegrams and letters from people unable to come. Her own strong loyalty to her friends was repaid in kind. Miss Ward was born in Blakeley, Minnesota. She attended the public schools and graduated from Mankato State Teachers College in 1909. She taught at several places in Minnesota. During the summers from 1914 to 1921 she did social welfare work at the Glenn Lake Farm School for Boys In in connection with the juvenile court of Minneapolis. 1922 Miss Ward graduated from the University of Minnesota with the degree of Bachelor of Science in the field of Home Economics with special work in biochemistry. She was a member of Phi Upsilon Omicron and of Omicron Nu. She was always loyal to the West liking especially the open country, the lakes and hills of Minnesota. This love of nature was carried over to Pennsylvania, her adopted State. She was never happier than when driving some of her favorite roads, tramping through the woods, or enjoying a meal cooked out-of-doors. — THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY From 1922 to 1924 Miss Ward was 14 instructor in Home Economics and dietitian at Lake Forest College in she came to B. S. T. C. as dietitian and In 1924 instructor in Nutrition. During several summers she was Dean of Women. To all these relationships she brought intelligence, practical wisdom, understanding of human nature and a sense of humor. All her work was done with an unflagging devotion to duty. Illinois. In 1934 Miss Ward received the Master of Arts Degree from Teachers College, Columbia University, in the field of Education. She had an unusually fine professional spirit, keeping abreast of developments in her own and related subjects, as well as in the general field of education. She was a member of the American Home Economics Association, the P. S. E. A. and the N. E. A. She was a committee chairman in the Bloomsburg Branch of the American Association of University Women. In the College dining room, Miss Ward organized the staff and their routine so well that they have been able to carry on efficiently. She developed such a fine spirit of cooperation and pride in the job that each feels responsible for the success of the whole. She took a personal interest in all her student staff in College and after graduation. To many she was “Aunt Irma.” She quietly helped a number of them by small loans of money. From her experiences, travel, and store of knowledge she contributed to the understanding of their studies and the problems of living. Conversations at table included heated political arguments and discussions of what was happening in College and outside, her recommendations of books, articles, movies and radio programs, her shrewd comments about people, a highly individual philosophy of life, and the appreciation of beauty in all its forms. All who knew her remember her love for America and her abhorrence of everything contrary to American democracy. Miss Ward’s sense of humor made her good company. In times of tension and when human nature seemed most exasperating, she could see the funny side. She had a sharp, native wit with characteristic ways of expressing it, and she collected witticisms, cartoons and nonsense verse. Alumni remember “those snappy bits of THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY 15 humor that were such sound philosophy and such good advice.” For all these reasons, students have described her as “a regular fellow” and graduates have termed her ‘‘a grand person” and “the best friend I ever had.” Among outstanding personal characteristics her friends will remember her independence and the strength of her convictions, for which she was always ready to battle. Her standard of values was high and uncompromising. She hated dishonesty, the so-called sophisticated habits of drinking and smoking, a self-seeking spirit, and all cheap standards of values. She was always frank and sincere. To her friends Miss Ward was “a vital personality.” Her adventurous spirit, abounding energy, and liking for doing the out-of-the-ordinary made her travels here and abroad a rich experience. Her great zest for living was shown in her many enthusiasms things varying as wide- — her Scottish ancestry; freighter voyages; movies such as The Buccaneer, Drums, and Snow White the planning of houses and their furnishings; Saturday Evening Post stories about American life geology, geography, stars, trees and birds; books such as Listen the Wind or The Importance of Living; the Chicago Symphony or Charlie McCarthy on the radio Dorothy Thompson’s column the University of Minnesota; her nieces and nephews, and her favorite color, blue-green. ly as ; ; ; ; — “Irma Ward a friend courageous, energetic, keen, forceful, frank, true as steel. A privilege to have known such as she.” Marguerite Kehr. As a representative of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College, Ray McBride, Jr., of Berwick, President of the Community Government Association, attended the sessions of the National Student Federation of America, held at Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana, during the Christmas vacation. He also served as chairman of the commission on State Teachers Colleges and presided over the sessions of students representing that division. THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY 1G Old Feud Revived! The smoke is flying again on the Bloomsburg campus. An old feud that has been lying buried almost twenty years has again come to life. Barbed innuendos, bitter invectives and brazen boastings are flying back and forth, as in the days of old. All of this is reminiscent of the days when there flourished at Bloomsburg two literary societies, which flaunted the high-soundingnames, Philologian and Calliepian. The Philologian Society, which once held forth on the roof-garden of project, Science Hall, in a room now occupied by a held forth under the banner “Speech is the Image of the Mind.” Many years have passed since a painter’s brush obliterated the above words, inscribed on the wall in WPA letters of gold. The Calliepian Society held its conclaves on the same top floor of Science Hall, in a room which now serves as a classroom and a place for band and orchestra rehearsals. This room is now presided over by a hated Philo. The motto of the Callies was “Praestantia aut nihil.” The words of this motto, not written in letters of gold, but in letters of bronze, attached to a slab of oak, were rescued from annihilation by a member of the faculty who was a member of the Callie Society. These societies used to hold their meetings on Saturday evenings. For many years, the meetings were well attended, because there was no other place to go. There were no movie palaces, and it would not have been any use if there had been, for the unemancipated members of the weaker sex were not permitted to leave the campus after dinner. The societies, therefore, furnished the one big emotional, aesthetic, cultural and romantic outlet of the week. Properly chaperoned, to make sure they were not molested on the way to Science Hall, the girls would go in a body to their respective societies, followed at a respectful distance by the young gentlemen. The evenings were spent in debating, the reading of THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY 17 essays and original poems, musical selections, and such business as the occasion demanded. Then came the War. Gone were the Apollos of the campus. They had marched off in khaki, some of them never to return. One incentive for attending society meetings the romantic element had vanished. When the boys came back, the country was not the same. They found bobbed hair, short skirts, and all the other appurtenances of the Flapper Epoch. The girls had earned their freedom. Now there were movies, and the giris could leave the campus to attend them. The societies, therefore, became anemic. A few attempts to give them transfusions failed, and Phiio and Callie gave their last individual and collective gasps. But one thing remained. The spirit of rivalry never died. Should a group of graduates gather together, sooner or later they would arrive at the old argument: ‘‘Which was better, Philo or Callie?” Neither side would concede one point to the other. It happens that the Editor of the Quarterly was a Philo, and that the Business Manager was a Callie. How such an ill-assorted pair have ever been able to work together in peace and harmony is a question that no mortal can answer. In a recent interview printed in the local newspaper, the Business Manager cast aspersions on the noble Philologians in a tone that cannot remain un- — — answered. As evidence, we quote the following, which appeared recently in the Bloomsburg “Morning Press.” “Yesterday morning, Dr. E. H.

Imagine his surprise to find that exactly twenty-eight years ago to the day, March 16, 1911, he had played one of the leading roles in that same play. It had been presented at that time by the Calliepian Literary Society. “While talking to several under-graduates in his office later in the day, Dr. Nelson became reminiscent of the days of 1911. Speaking of the Calliepian Literary Society, he said, ‘There was a really accomplished group of dramatists.’ Do you see the motto on the wall behind We me?

The affair opened with a dinner in the College dining room, was followed by a program in the auditorium, and was concluded with a dance in the gymnasium. William V. Moyer, President of the Rotary Club, was toastmaster. An address was given by Frank S. Hutchison, former President of the Rotary Club. Group singing was led by Dr. Clarence M. Sober, of the Rotary Club, and by John Lyle, of the Kiwanis Club. Music was furnished by a small group from the Maroon and Gold Orchestra. The program in the auditorium was opened by Ray McBride, President of the Community Government Association, who extended greetings to the guests. Miss Harriet M. Moore led in singing of “Maroon and Gold,” with H. F. Fenstemaker at the piano, and “Praise Ye the Father,” by Gounod, with Mrs. J. K. Miller at the organ. Mr. Fenstemaker then played “Kammenoi Ostrow,” by Rubinstein, on the organ. The A Capella Choir, under the direction of Miss Moore, sang two numbers. An interesting feature of the program was “Education For Teaching,” the third colored film showing various phases of College life. The film, prepared by Prof. George J. Keller, emphasized the extra-curricular life of the College. The program was brought to a close by the playing two selections by the Maroon and Gold Band. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing in the gymnasium. of THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY 20 COMMERCIAL GRADUATES FIND POSITIONS The type of business teacher education provided at Bloomsburg State Teachers College, can be measured in no better way than by the fact that 92 per cent of the graduates of the Department of Business Education have found employment in either teaching or business, and over 80 per cent of this group are now teaching in more than 125 towns and cities throughout Pennsylvania and surrounding High states. and colleges situated in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, and Virginia have sought the services of teachers graduated from Bloomsburg.

H. Hile, for three years. Complications caused death at the age of 79. Mrs. Masteller, wife of John W. Masteller, of Elizabethtown, Pa., was born in Mount Pleasant Township, Columbia County, but had resided in Bloomsburg all her life, with the exception of the past three years. She was graduated from Bloomsburg State Teachers College in 1879. She was a member of the Bloomsburg Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star and of St. Matthew Lutheran Church, Bloomsburg. Surviving, in addition to her husband and the daughter with whom she resided, are a son, John K. Masteller, of Harrisburg; a sister, Mrs. H. J. Pursel, of Bloomsburg, and Mrs. H. E. McHenry, of Bloomsburg, another daughMrs. ter. 1886 Mrs. Elfreda Barnes Gottschall is mourning the loss of her husband, Edwin Herr Gottschall, who died December 6, 1938.

McDonnell) of Jenkintown, Pa., one of the charter members of the Philadelphia Alumni Association, was a recent visitor to Washington, D. C., and had tea at the White House, where she was greeted by President Roosevelt. . ! THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY 40 1896 The following are extracts from a letter recently received from Myrtle Swartz Van Wie, Burdett, New York, a former member of the faculty: Do you remember a favorite quotation of Professor Wilbur’s, “The imbecile portions of humanity eagerly enter where celestial beings hesitate to promenade'’ ? The Quarterly is always bidding for new subscribers, and the College for a longer list of alumni members. As an inducement, I’d like to suggest you trying the plan used by some other student publications that of printing letters or snappy short articles written by old graduates, telling of interesting things they have seen or done. Of course, we are all interested in what is going on “at school” now, but the names appearing in the Quarterly, both faculty and students, are quite unknown to many of us. — It seems to me that if each number of the Quarterly could bring us direct word from some one or two of our more illustrious or adventurous or successful alumni, it would stimulate interest in the other graduates and perhaps increase subscriptions. There is John Bakeless, Keffer Hartline, Robert Wilner, Major Idwal Edwards and Nellie Dennison, chief army nurse at Fold Jay. Or, if you want something in the educational field, there is R. Ramage, who is supervising an experiment in a vocational tie-up between business and the public schools of Prescott, Arizona, which is the only one of its kind in the state. These may all belong to the same decade, I know, but I mention them because “I knew them when,” and I believe each one has a live story of some sort to tell if you could get it. I did not realize until I had made the list that we have there an author, a physician, an aviator, a minister, a nurse, and a teacher. Perhaps we might hear from most of the states of the Union and some of the islands of the sea — There is nothing that the Quarterly would like receive communications like those described in the above letter. The Editor appeals to the Alumni to keep him supplied with such material. (Editor’s note better than to 41 THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY 1897 Miss Annie C. Schlayer, 61, a teacher at Camp Curtin Junior High School, Harrisburg, since it was established, and in city public schools for 42 years, died February 18 at her home, 2037 Green Street. Miss Schlayer taught her classes Friday, February 17, but was stricken by pneumonia Saturday and died during the afternoon. She was graduated from Central High School, Harrisburg, Bloomsburg State Normal School, and Susquehanna University. She also studied at the Pennsylvania State College and Columbia University. Miss Schlayer began teaching in 1897 at the Harris Park School and later moved to the Cameron Building where she taught the eighth grade. In 1923, when Camp Curtin Junior High School was established, she was transferred and since then had taught mathematics there. She was also a teacher of a Sunday School class at Bethlehem Lutheran Church. Surviving her is a sister, Miss Lillie Schlayer, of the same address. The following resolutions on the death of Miss Anna C. Schlayer were adopted by the Dauphin County Branch of the Alumni Association On the 18th of February, 1939, Miss Anna C. Schlayer passed away at her home, 2037 Green Street, Harrisbury, Pennsylvania. As members of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College Association of the Harrisburg District, we wish to express our sorrow for her removal hence, and also our appreciation of a faithful, conscien: tious teacher. Miss Schlayer was a graduate of the Harrisburg High School, Bloomsburg State Teachers College and received her degree from Susquehanna University, Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. She taught in the Harrisburg schools in the Harris Park Building and was transferred to the Cameron Building and from there was sent to the Camp Curtin Junior High School. Ever earnest and ambitious in the interest of her profession, and as a member of this Association, having been Secretary in the years 1919 and 1920, she will long be remembered. Her associates knew her as a sincere teacher, devoted to her profession, loyal in her friendships and ever courteous and considerate in her manner. THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY 42 BE IT RESOLVED, therefore, by the Bloomsburg State Teachers Association that we express to the grief stricken sister not only our heartfelt sympathy and condolence, but also our keen sense of loss and bereavement in the passing of a faithful co-worker, further, BE IT RESOLVED, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to her sister and also that they be entered on the minutes of this Association.

She was also active in the work of the church. was Funeral services were held in the Tulpehocken Reformed Church, of which she was a member. The throngs of friends in all walks of life who attended were mute testimony of the high esteem in which she was held. Members of the Class of 1901 will hear with deep regret of her untimely passing, for her interests and her devotion to her Alma Mater never faltered, and each reunion found her there, renewing old friendships and making new friends. She was a member of the 1941 Reunion Committee, and her presence will be sadly missed by all her friends and classmates. 1905-07 The wedding of Kenneth William Bergen, of New York City, and Miss Emily Katherine Fetter, of Cambridge, took place Saturday, September 10, 1938, in the New Church Chapel at Cambridge.

The Centennial program, beginning Friday morning at 10:30 and closing Saturday evening at 11:30, was thoroughly enjoyed by those fortunate enough to be present. Never in the history of the College were so many graduates and former students here for a college event. Reunions, either large or small, were in progress everywhere. Graduates saw classmates and friends who had not been seen for many years. This added much pleasure to the entire celebration. It was a great disappointment that the new buildings were not available for use and inspection.

Dr. Nelson said: "We speak affectionately and appropriately of the men who have done much to build Bloomsburg as the ‘Old Guard’, but truly they would have had little to guard but for the work of Professor Jenkins. He was truly the “watch dog of the school’s treasury ”. Dr. Nelson spoke also of Prof. Jenkins's devotion to his work and of the educator's comment at the time he was honored by the faculty upon his retirement at the age of seventy in 1925. At that time Professor Jenkins said I have spent all of my years here, except eight, since I was a young man of eighteen. These years have meant much to me”. In concluding, Dr. Nelson remarked that behind the work of this great man was the inspiration of a fine wife. As he unveiled the portrait he said "This portrait reflects a life well lived".

Mr. Fenstemaker stated that the rejuvenation of the alumni some years ago was to a large extent brought about by Professor Jenkins.

The original plans had provided that the program would be given in the new gymnasium, but, owing to the fact that the new buildings were not available, the program was transferred to the new gymnasium. Miss Mary Whitenight, a member of the Department of Health Education, was in general charge of the demonstration. Many of the graduates present were reminded of the days when the gymnasium exhibitions were high lights of the school year. The program was opened with a marching demonstration by a group of college girls, who proved their ability to carry out the intricate evolutions with speed and precision. The children of the Kindergarten then presented dramatizations of several Mother Goose melodies, and the first grade children dramatized Sing a Song of Sixpence and "The Lived in a Shoe.

Obiter, Yearbook of College Senors, Brings Wide Pi•aise The Centennial of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College forms the basis for one of the most clever issues of the year book of the graduating class in the history of the institution. The volume is handsomely bound in red leather and stamped in the vogue of an album of years ago. The frontispiece of each section is an illustration of the present compared with that of the past. It is one of the most effecive features in a book of many fine things. The volume is dedicated "to the indomitable spirit of the builders of Bloomsburg State Teachers College.” Pictures of many of those men are contained in the front of the book.

Several of the earlier classes have no living graduates. In the case of one class there is one surviving member for whom we do not have the correct address. Obviously no reunions were possible in these situations. The Class of 1867 leads off with 100% attendance at the Centennial. Dr. David J. Waller, Jr., President Emeritus of the Institution is the only surviving member of his class and he received an ovation throughout the Centennial program. Other members of his class were Mr. George E. Elwell and Mr. Charles Unangst. The Class of 1924 leads the parade of classes in attendance at the Centennial. There were 90 members of this class in reunion. The class of 1929 ranks second with 48 graduates present. 1919, with 47, is in third place and 1923, with 40 on the campus holds fourth position. These figures may not be accurate, but we based on the registration information available. The fine representation of classes was a matter of favorable comment on all sides. Many class officers had sent out invitations and aroused the interest of their classmates which was one of the factors in creating a record attendance for Alumni Days. There were probably between 2.500 and 3,000 graduates present during the Celebration.

R. Bruce Albert, president of the Alumni Association, reported that the Centennial Loan Fund had reached a total of over $14,000, and that 463 had made contributions to the fund. Mr. Albert is confident that by the end of the summer, there will have been $15,000 given by graduates and friends of the College to swell the loan fund. He expressed his confidence that no worthy student will need be forced to leave college because of the need of a loan of $100 or $2000. Dr. E. H. Nelson, who presided at the dinner, took occasion to speak of the exceptional service that Mr. Albert has given the college and the alumni. The program consisted of greetings expressed by the representatives of all the various groups who in close contact with Dr. Carl D.

Dr. Morneweck in his greetings spoke of the vital part the alumni Mr. Krauss spoke of the play in the life of an institution. high regard that the town of Bloomsburg has for the College. The people of Bloomsburg, he said, believe that the College is a vital and important part of Bloomsburg. He stated that the people of Bloomsburg would not want to be without the College. Dr. Hower, speaking for the trustees, spoke of the proud history of the institution. He declared that there have been many steps in advancement and never a retrograde movement in the one hundred years. He lauded the faculty and spoke in glowing terms of President Haas, whom he described as a sterling gentleman and a high grade educator”. Continuing, he said "Long may he live, and long may we have the privilege of retaining his services.” Dean Andruss spoke of the "Old Guard” who have given generously of themselves. What they gave they have in the hearts of the Alumni. He referred to the fact that the present faculty, during the Centennial, had adopted the term "The New Guard”. They aim to carry the torch of learning into a new century, ever working to the end that tomorrow may be better than today. Nevin T. Englehart, speaking for the members of the maintenance staff, spoke of the part that many played behind the scenes in order that the life of the college can move smoothly forward. Ray McBride, speaking for the student body, said that the students are proud of the College and its loyal Alumni. He expressed the hope that the Centennial not only commemorated a century of progress, but also would mark the start of another hundred years of educational development. Mr. Albert declared that the day had been the greatest and on behalf of the Alumni expressed thanks to all those who had made it possible. A telegram was read, expressing greetings from Governor James, who regretted his inability to attend, but was detained in Harrisburg by the press of business. For the same reason, Eckley B. Hoyt, representative from Columbia County in the General Assembly, was obliged to send his greetings by telegraph. Dr. Haas, who delivered one of the most inspiring messages of his administration, declared that the College was celebrating what men and women who believed in an ideal of dein the history of the College, The ALUMNI QUARTERLY, July, 1939 12 mocracy had started a century before. He referred to the fact that in the world today, there is a struggle between two philosophies of government. He stated further: "You and I are meeting tonight because we belong to a group that holds as an ideal that human beings are able to govern themselves, and that they will be able better to do so in the future, because opportunity for development are being offered to all through We schools maintained at public expense. belong to a government that says that the individual has the right to self- develop- ment". He emphasized and ideals, not the fact that we learn to love democracy by preaching democracy, but by practicing it. He said in conclusion "We are going to continue, to the best of our ability, to develop a democratic institution." The banquet was followed by dancing in the gymnasium, and by a program in the auditorium. The first half of the program was a concert by the Maroon and Gold Orchestra, and the second half was the showing of the college film "Education for Teaching ”, produced by Professor George J. Keller, of the art department. A new procedure in handling the returning Alumni on Alumni Day was initiated this year, when an Alumni booth was set up in the corridor opposite the Alumni Memorial Room. Ail files, publications, and other records were centralized in this booth, and clerks were on duty continuously The booth proved to be the center of interest for all graduates. Many stopped at the desk to look at the registry list, to see if any of their friends or classmates had come to Bloomsburg for the occasion. The booth was the clearing house for all information that concerned the Centennial program, the Centennial Loan Fund, the payment of dues to the Alumni Association, and countless other activities in which graduates would be interested. The plan was so successful that it will be followed in the future on all Homeon both days of the Centennial. Coming Days and Alumni Days. Centennial Committee Dr. David J.

The ALUMNI QUARTERLY, July. 1939 20 Baccalaureate *J Sermon I 1 1 I k I The greatest asset of this institution is not its fine buildample equipment, important as they are, but the men and women, who in the past hundred years invested their time, money and talents in the young men and women who have thronged this institution ”, declared the Rev. E. J. Radcliffe, former pastor of the First Baptist Church of Bloomsburg, addressing the graduating class of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College at the annual Baccalaureate Service held in the college auditorium Sunday afternoon. May 28. The members of the graduating class entered the auditorium to the music of the traditional Ancient of Days ’, used as a processional for over twenty-five years. Mrs. John K. Miller was at the organ, and the singing was led by Miss Harriet M. Moore, with the assistance of the A. Capella Choir. After the singing of ‘Faith of Our Fathers ”, Dr. Francis B. Haas read the Scripture. The sermon was followed by the "Cherubim Song,’’ by Tschaikowsky, sung by the Capella Choir, under the direction of Miss Moore. John D. Young ’41 is the pianist for the choir. the benediction had been pronounced, the class left the auditorium to the music of the hymn “Awake ings or its A When My by Handel. The sermon by the Rev. Mr. Radcliffe follows in part: The desire to live, either in the good or in the evil, may be found in all stages of society. Our purpose is to examine Soul ’ this desire in its highest phase.

But they made an investment that continues forever to pay dividends. The words for my sake advance the interpretation of the text to the maximum. Here is the real mystery of sacrificial that I Jesus Christ himself offers the perfect illustration. He mankind, in their eternal salvation. In the days of Jesus, a young man was invited by our Lord to invest his life in the salvation of others. The young man weighed the spiritual value of this invitation in the scale used for material purposes. He found the proposition light. Jesus weighed the young man's decision in his spiritual scales and found it light. was right? This young man is known to the Christian world as a failure. He might have been a signal success. The same proposition is presented to you. favorable reply to Jesus Christ may not add to your earthly possessions; He said ‘A man’s life Jesus never claimed that it would. consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possessed’. But in the things that really count, both in this world and in the next, here is an opportunity to make a real investment.

Long before the program began, the auditorium was crowded to capacity and, as late-comers arrived, a large group The graduates, students, friends and relatives who composed the audience lent their voices to the success of the evening's fun and joined in with the songs that accompanied the style pageant opening the program. swelled the throng standing at the rear. Directed by Miss Ethel Ranson, the fashion parade traced the styles of both men and women back through the 100 years of the college’s existence. Many of the costumes were in style familiar to the visiting "grads ” who recalled wearing similar frock coats hobble skirts when they were students at or the local school. Fifty-eight young men and women participated in the pageant, for which the audience expressed enthusiastic appreciation. The quick laughter which swept the crowd during many amusing moments of the program proved that the dimmed their sense of humor. Popular melodies in which many of them raised their voices included the rollicking "Little Brown Jug," "My Darling Clementine" and "Silver the years had not Threads Among the Gold." A couple of 1870, Betty Jones and Rutter Ohl, clad in the height of fashion, won loud acclaim, as they sang a current melody to each other, the former peeking shyly over her widespread fan and the latter fumbling bashfully with his topper. The costume worn by Marion Landis, a black skirt with a bulky tan overcoat and broad-rimmed hat, tickled the funnybone of the audience, as did the sailor boy, Ray Zimmerman; the Civil War major, Frank Kocher, and a Civil War private, Alvin Cook. A little girl, whose troubles were solved by a sympathetic policeman, sniffed tearfully into the big white handkerchief of The the latter while the spectators chuckled sympathetically. The ALUMNI QUARTERLY. July, 1939 23 couple in the sketch were Isabelle Olah and Norman Cool. Dancing and mincing in the manner of the "gay old dogs' of a day gone by were Clifton Wright and Dale Troy, who swung their canes to the tune of "While Strolling Through the Park One Day." One of the evening’s big hits came with the entrance of Rowena Troy and George Lewis riding a tandem bicycle and looking like something out of the family album. Swinging merrily along the outside aisles of the auditorium, the couple stopped in the front of the room to sing appropriately a few verses of the tune, ‘‘On a Bicycle Built for Two." By that time, whoever had been trying to hold down Dr. E. H. Nelson evidently gave up, for the faculty member, who hinted several times that he himself was a Calliepian and not a Philologian heaven forbid! appeared on the stage to lead the singing of Bloomsburg's old Alma Mater, "Bloomsburg Will — — Shine Tonight." To and a little Nelson made some pungent remarks on the relative status of the Philos and the Callies in the development of the college and then conceded to allow Prof. Howard F. Fenstemaker, a Philologian heaven forbid — to accompany the singing on the piano. The result was impressive in its volume. As the grand finale of the fashion parade — Dr. Nelson was out of breath and sat down for a short time — Miss Harriet M. Moore led the audience and the cast in the "Alma Mater.” R. Bruce Albert, president of the Alumni Association, then presided and the bantering among members of the rival societies continued in full force (Dr. Nelson was again on his feet). Among the Callies presented by Dr. Nelson were J. A. E. Rodriguez, of San Juan, Puerto Rico, who flew to Bloomsburg to attend the centennial, and John Bakeless, of New York City. A slight disorder at the front of the room occurred when Mr. Albert enlisted the aid of Dr. Haas to escort the most talkative Calliepian (mentioned above) to his seat. A group of seven students directed by Miss Alice Johnston then presented the comedy, "The Romancers,” by Edmond Rostand, given by the Calliepian Literary Society in the accompaniment of vociferous applause polite hissing, Dr. — The interesting presentation was so well enacted that easily held the attention of an audience which by that time had reached a slightly uproarious state. 1911. it The Philogians, not to be outdone, were represented by Prof. Fenstemaker, who introduced two noted Philos, John Bittenbender, a member of the original group, and L. C. Bierly, of West Pittston. Without a trace of bitterness but with an overflow of confidence, the Philos returned the remarks of the Callies blow for blow. The ALUMNI QUARTERLY, July. 1939 24 Between the Acts," another amusing play, given in 1901 by the Philologian Society, was enacted by a cast of seven college students, who upheld the standards set by the Philos for oustanding productions (a standard which any Philo will be pleased to explain further). Dr. Haas introduced to the advisers of the program, Miss Ranson, dean of the Day Women, and Miss Johnston, speech and dramatic instructor.

The ALUMNI QUARTERLY, July, 1939 25 SENIOR DAY Seniors “had their day" on the hill, Monday, May 22, a group of three programs, opening in the morning with a chapel program and followed in the afternoon by the traditional Ivy Day exercises of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College and in the evening by the senior informal when they sponsored party. The highlight of the day’s schedule came in the planting of the first sprig of ivy against one of the newly erected buildThe ings on the campus, the junior high school structure. ceremony was held at the site following the first part of the program which was staged in the auditorium instead of in the Willard college grove because of the afternoon showers. Christian, of Shamokin, a member of the graduating class, gave the Ivy Day oration. Mr. Christian was a member of the following college groups: Dramatics Club, Alpha Psi Omega, Business Education Club, of which he was president one year. Inter-fraternity Council, of which he was treasurer, chairman of the assembly committee, intramural basketball and chairman of the election board. He has served as both president and treasurer of his class. The Ivy Day orator was introduced by James DeRose. president of the senior class, who pointed out the added signiwhich is lent to an institution by its traditions. Miss M. Moore, of the faculty, directed the seniors in the opening song, “Maroon and Gold." Isaiah Bomboy led the procession of seniors, wearing the academic caps and gowns, to the planting site. Members of the audience, which included parents, friends, members of the faculty and undergraduates, followed. Mr. DeRose, class president, after planting the ivy, proffered the spade to Donald Hausknecht, president-elect of the class of 1940. He spoke of the spirit of the builders of the ficance Harriet college, declaring that of growth. “The it is “still with us“ following 100 years 1940 begins another hundred years.

The ivy was planted at the west entrance to the junior high school auditorium and was the first sprig of the plant which adds so much beauty to the older college buildings to be planted at either of the two new structures on the campus. The program closed with the “Alma Mater,’’ led by Miss Moore. In order to give undergraduates a better opportunity to attend the Ivy day program, the event was scheduled one week ahead of the usual date this year. A diversified program featured the chapel presentation by the seniors, which was in charge of Dorothy Englehart, James DeRose, president, read the Scripture, after which an amusing one-act play was presented under the direction of Miss Englehart. Members of the cast were Frank Ferguson, Margaret Zimmerman and Robert Reim- Cheponis, Peggy Johnson, Ray ard. Miriam Utt played an organ solo, "Marche Brilliante," by C. Harold Lowden, and Isaiah Bomboy and John Bower enacted a play, "Before the Curtain Rises." Two selections were sung by William Moratelli, "Ah! Sweet Mystery of Life," by Victor Herbert, and "I Dream Too Much, by Jerome Kern. John Younq was the accompanist. The colleqe chorus sanq the "Alma Mater." Group singing was led by Miss Moore with Miriam Utt at the console. The committee in charge of the program included: Dorothy Englehart, general chairman of senior day activities and in charge of the chapel program; Isiah Bomboy, Ivy Day chairman, and Lucille Adams, senior party chairman. Miss Alice Johnston, of the faculty, assisted with the preparation of the one-act play for the assembly program.

Christian, of Shamokin, and has been active The address and Mrs. in many W. college organizations, is in part as follows: Fellow Classmates: In the twilight hour of this memorable day in the history we meet to plant the ivy, which shall keep alive our memory long after the class has departed. of the class The ALUMNI QUARTERLY, July. 1939 27 Ivy Day is a day deep in tradition, as members Bloomsburg, but also throughout the world. of the Class of 1939 should feel proud to have the privilege But perhaps we of celebrating such a memorable occasion. should feel doubly proud, for are not we the Centennial Class? One hundred years of cooperation; that is the spirit of Bloomsburg. Fellow Classmates, four years of that one hundred have been contributed by us, a short space of time, perhaps, not only here at We but four years profitably spent, four years of cooperation conAnd so in fitting tribute tributed to the spirit of Bloomsburg. we wish to leave behind us a fitting symbol of the unity and large liberty which have been inspired in us by our Alma Mater. What could be more fitting for this symbol than the Ivy plant. The early Christians used the Ivy to symbolize everlasting life. Is that not what we wish to symbolize, everlasting life, our class, may its life be everlasting! Perhaps we could better understand the symbolism of the Ivy were we to compare the growth or the life of the plant to that of our class. Let us then go back in our lives several years, back to the year of 1935, even more definite, let us go back to Sept. 1935. That day doesn't seem so far back in time yet history was made that warm September day, when we, the Class of 1939, entered this institution to further our education. I doubt that any of us even thought of graduaion at that time, it seemed too far away. Yet. that goal has been reached and out a few hours remain before we say farewell to this College that we have known so well. that September day a seed was planted, the seed of the Class of 1939. But like the newly planted seed that is covered up and lost so were we, lost in the hustle and bustle of college life, but gradually we became adjusted to our new life and new situations, we began to be active and we dropped that lost and bewildered feeling; like a seed we had begun to On germinate. Horticulturalists tell us that the process of germination is slow and doubtful, but with good seed, fertile soil and favorable growing conditions, the process is quickened and the doubtfulness of its future is removed. So with the Class of 1939. had good seed with which to plant, the soil on which we choose to plant our seed was fertile and hence our growth was rapid. The class of 1939 was soon recognized, not alone scholastically, but athletically, musically and by its willingness to cooperate with our overseers. And so the years passed from freshman to sophomore, from sophomore to junior and from junior to senior, each year, each month, each day giving us new activities, new experiences. We The ALUMNI QUARTERLY. ]uly, 1939 28 and new situations to face, but face them we did. Gradually, we pushed forth into the open, slowly ever so slowly, at first slightly bewildered, but each day gaining additional strength to push us forward into the world that like the planted seed, we must some day face. And so we take this sprig of Ivy its growth and up to the present naturally brings and plant to continue it behind us a symbol of our unity and strength. A sprig, whose seed was planted in 1935 germinated during those years until it finally reached the stage of maturity. to leave Going back to that September day in 1935 and swinging back fond memories to us. We faintly visualize different events that occurred during our altogether too brief stay here at “Old Bloomsburg Now and then different happenings flash into our minds, events that are not pleasant to recall, but immediately they are washed aside and once more the bright side of college life is seen. can faintly visualize ourselves wandering through Carver, Noetling, Waller, Science and North Halls, entering into the thousand and one events of our college career, classes, conventions, celebrations, dances, athletic events, events too numerous to mention. But now the end has come, no more shall we be students here at Bloomsburg, no more shall we enter into the community life, we shall soon be considered Alumni who return on Alumni Day to see their former classmates and to talk over old times, days when we matriculated at this institution. Perhaps they can’t take away the rights of our being a student but be assured they cannot take away our memories, They will be held precious to us, even more precious than gold. . We We entered here as an aggregation, but we are going out The classroom, the table, the campus, the friendly rivalry has brought us together until like kindred drops we've mingled together." The attachments formed here no man can forget, nor can anyone overestimate the worth of such friendship as a preparation for the duties of life. Let us once again return to the symbol of our class, the ivy. The new growing springs up as a single shoot, the whole plant seems bound for one destination, however as time progresses, smaller shoots spring out from the mother stem and seek new worlds of their own to conquer. No matter how far from the original shoot it grows, it is still attached to the mother stem. How like our class, we too have sprung up from the original shoot, and have clung together throughout the four years of our growth. Now however, we are ready to go out on our own. Each one of us will seek out different lives in which to live. But like the Ivy plant, no matter how far we shall travel, nor how much we as a unit. “ The ALUMNI QUARTERLY.

And like the Ivy we shall grow, each seeking out his own course, each carrying his own load. shall find the road rocky and narrow, but like the Ivy with We fertile soil, good growing conditions, and good seed, we too shall reach the top. The world that we are about to face is not a very rosy threats of wars, depressions, political unrest, all wait to greet us. But remember, fellow classmates, we are educated to be school teachers and the destiny of America’s future is in the hands of the school teachers of today and tomorrow. Let those of us who are fortunate enough to enter in the field of education teach the real American Way. Be proud that we are Americans and teach those younger than yourselves that they too should be proud. one.

The guests were greeted by the co-chairmen of the hospitality committee, Bernard Ziegler, of Ashley, and Miss Kathryn Oplinger, of Nanticoke, who divided them into small groups and assigned them to assistants for campus tours to the various college buildings. Later the group witnessed the tennis matches and the baseball game then in progress. One hundred students were served luncheon at the college and four hundred and fifteen were guests at dinner last night. High Schools sending senior class visitors were: Catawissa thirty-two, Turbotville thirty-two, Bloomsburg 133, Huntington Mills thirty. Orangeville thirty, Berwick thirty-three, Benton forty-six, Millville twenty-three, Shickshinny sixty-five, Dallas fourteen, Beaver Township fifteen. Locust Township twelve. The ALUMNI QUARTERLY, July, 1939 31 LOOW BACKWARD by Dr. Francis B. Haas years seems a long time to most of us and occasionally, an incident occurs which brings home the fact that an event in the present may be connected with an event one hundred years ago by the memory span of one now living. Some years ago, I asked Doctor Waller, President Emeritus of the College, if he could give me any information concerning the founder of the Academy from which the present College has been developed. He gave me the history of Columbia and Montour counties, published in 1887. One hundred yet, Jewett Waller was born in WilkesPennsylvania, January 18. 1815. was graduated from Williams College in 1834, and from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1837. His paternal and maternal ancestors emigrated from England to Massachusetts early in the seventeenth century and thence into Connecticul. Prior to the Revolutionary War they settled in the Wyoming Valley. Some of them served in both the French and Indian and the Revolutionary Wars. Mr. Waller began his first pastorate in the Presbyterian Church of Bloomsburg in 1838 which continued thirtythree years. He took an active and efficient part in securing the removal of the county seat from Danville to Bloomsburg. “In 1839, by the efforts of citizens, his brother Charles P. Waller, afterward President Judge in the judicial district of Wayne and Pike counties, was induced to come to Bloomsburg He also was from Williams College. to found an academy. “The Reverend David Barre, He remained two years, and left it in a flourishing condition. “In 1856, the Reverend D. J. Waller prepared a charter providing for the establishing and maintaining of a school to be known as the Bloomsburg Literary Institute. The object of the corporation was defined to be the promotion of education both in the ordinary and higher branches of English, Literature, and Science, and in the Ancient and Modern Languages. William Robison and others circulated it and obtained the signatures of twenty-seven other citizens. It was submitted to the court at the September term and confirmed. “The Reverend David J. Waller, William Robison. LeonRupert, William Snyder, Elisha C. Barton, Joseph Sharpless, Reverend William Goodrich. John K. Grotz, and I. Willetts Hartman were made the Board of Trustees. School was conducted in the old academy building on Third street by D. A. Beckley, Henry Rinker and others. There was no ard B. The ALUMNI QUARTERLY. July, 1959 32 connected succession of teachers, nor did the board of trustees exercise control over the management. When the condition of affairs had reached its lowest ebb, Henry Carver appeared upon the scene. Self-educated, after serving as principal of an academy in his native state of New York, in which capacity he exhibited marked ability, he was made head of the Preparatory Department of the University of California. While there he lost his left hand by the explosion of a fowling piece. After his return to his home in Binghamton in traveling down the Susquehanna, impressed with the beauty of the environment of Bloomsburg, he spent several days in the village and made inquiries regarding the condition of the schools. ‘After introduction to the Reverend D. J. Waller, the Reverend ]. R. Dimm, D. A. Beckley, I. W. Hartman and others, he was persuaded to remain and open school. Its success surpassed the highest expectations. He had an iron will, exceptional executive ability, remarkable success in inspiring pupils with high ideals, and strength of purpose. At the expiration of two years he declined to stay longer unless a suitable building should be erected. The charter of the Literary Institute was revived May 2. 1866. William Snyder, John K. Grotz, Leonard B. Rupert, I. W. Hartman, and the Reverend D. }. Waller met in the residence of the latter in the capacity of trustees under the charter and reorganized by the election of D. J. Waller as president, I. W. Hartman as secretary and John G. Freeze, Robert F. Clark, and William Neal trustees to fill vacancies caused by the removal of an equal number of the original board. Two days later, at a second meeting, a committee was appointed upon finances and one upon the selection of a site for the building. June 16. 1866, a meeting of the stockholders was held in the court house to decide the question of location. After some discussion the question was postponed to the 22nd inst. The vote then for the present site was almost unanimous, and it was accepted finally in August upon the assurance that the owners of the Forks Hotel, a solid brick structure standing across the end of Main Street and facing down it, would remove it and extend Second or Main Street to what is now the front of the College grounds. The cost of the building was not to exceed $15,000. This was five times the amount anyone but Henry Carver had thought of expend- Though ing. contributing liberally to the cost Mr. Waller soon thereafter resigned the presidency and in the his membership board. “On Thursday, April 3, 1967, the dedicatory exercises of were opened with prayer by the Reverend D.

Wickersham, when passing on the railroad was so impressed with the beauty of its location that he suggested to the trustees the erection of an additional building and the establishing of the State Normal School of the sixth Normal School District in connection with the Institute. “On March 9, 1868, the Board of Trustees adopted the suggestion and upon April 18, 1868 because of difficulty in obtaining subscriptions, a meeting was held in the court room, and the Reverend D. J. Waller was called to the chair. After explanations and discussion, it was enthusiastically resolved that the Trustees of the Bloomsburg Literary Institute be earnestly requested to purchase the necessary grounds and proceed to make an agreement to carry forward the enterprise of erecting the building required; that the plans submitted by Professor Carver be recommended to the trustees for adoption; that it be recommended to let the contract for the building to Professor Carver at his estimate of $36,000. June 25, the corner-stone was laid. The exercises began with prayer by the Reverend D. J. Waller after which Honorable lohn W. Geary, Governor of the Commonwealth, placed the stone in position.

The committee appointed consisted of Honorable ]. P. Wickersham, Honorable Wilmer Worthington, James E. Brown, Honorable George W. Jackson, Honorable Henry W. Hoyt and the Public School Superintendience ents of the district. “On Friday, February 18, 1869, the committee examined charter deeds, organization, methods of instruction and other things pertaining to the character of the school.

May 29, at ten o'clock. The Commencement speaker was Dr. Charles W. Hunt, principal of the State Normal School at Oneonta, New York. Dr. Hunt is a graduate of Brown University, where he received the A. B. degree. At Columbia University he received his A. M. and Ph. D. degree.

He has served as secretary of the American Association Teachers Colleges and executive secretary of the accrediting committee of the Association for eleven years. He is also a member of the Commission in Teacher Education of the American Council of Education. The Commencement procession formed in the gymnasium. The class, led by its officers marched down the campus to the 1912 Memorial Steps, where, following tradition, the members of the class halted, and formed a double line, permitting the trustees and members of the faculty to pass through.

The founding of this institution at this time was a response to a need for education which was generally felt. Thirty years later, in 1869, it was recognized by the state as a Normal School. I can therefore congratulate you on the continuous history of one hundred years as an educational institution, and a history of seventy years of teacher preparation for the state. The pattern of private support was followed in Pennsylvania until 1916.

But the citizens who lived under it in the early days, and those who were asked to administer the government, found their task filled with difficulties. The vision had to be translated into the living of the people. It became clear that a democracy could not rise above the level of its citizenship. The voter must be educated. Ignorant men could not remain free then, nor can they remain free today. The knowledge required to participate successfully as a citizen in the United States today is vastly greater, but the principle is the same. These men who were thinking in the early days believed wholeheartedly in the improvability of man. in the rights of the individual, in the diffusion of education among the masses. They came to believe in free public schools, good enough for the richest, open to the poorest, and they began to found schools for all in the early years of the last century. They soon found, however, that there was no virtue in a school except as it had a real teacher. I have given you the background which will suggest the significance of the normal school and teachers’ college in American life. The history of these institutions, now spread devotion to the early ideals. They have been a sturdy plant, belonging peculiarly to the American scene. They have been close to the people. It has been said that they are the poor man's college. They have always had to struggle for support. They have been looked down upon by those who did not understand, or were not sympathetic with their democratic purposes. Despite all inadequacies of direction and support, they have lived, and are today a very great force for good in the democratic state. The last twenty years have seen an unparalleled development throughout the whole United States. Normal schools have every generally moved from two-year level to a four-year level, and have become teachers colleges granting degrees. They have united in a national organization, the American Association of Teachers Colleges, for the exchange of ideas, and the setting up of standards adequate to meet the challenge of conditions as they exist today. Great progress has been made in the preparation required of those who are to be admitted to the institution, in the preparation of the faculty for their work, in the provision for training school and practice teaching facilities, in the refinement of curricula, in student health and general living conditions, in library, laboratory, and shop, in the physical equipment, and of course to some extent in financial support. This institution is no exception. For ten The ALUMNI QUARTERLY, July, 1939 41 years it has been on the accredited list of the American AssoTeachers Colleges. It has made improvements in all ciation of which I have referred. But much remains to be done the items to to make our institutions day and generation. There are inadequacies in all institutions. These are due in part to the fact that these schools have been close to the common people, somewhat isolated historically, although that is now being corrected, and of course to the inadequacies in imagination and leadership in really serve this Our those who are directly responsible for the institutions. reference to their past today is not for the purpose merely of glorifying the achievements, but to call attention to the fact, amply justified in this historical development, that in the teachers colleges there exists a peculiarly appropriate tool for the future development of the democratic way of life in the United States, and to challenge these students who are going out to become the citizens of the United Staes, and all citizens and members of the staffs of our institutions to reassess the place of our institutions. To make them more useful and significant, to subject them to the hard disciplines of thinking which are required if democracy is to succeed, and to retain that areat aspiration which characterized our forefathers in the founding of a democracy and the institutions appropriate to it.

Many of these coming back will recall it as it extended eastward as far as the Dillon greenhouses when the latter were located on the hill. The broad acres on the very summit of the hill, now occupied by the Benjamin Franklin Training School, the new junior high school building, the new tennis courts and the new athletic field, were not in the picture of ‘‘Old Normal" they will bring back with them. They will be in for a real surprise and will gaze upon a college setting unexcelled in America. Like all things worthwhile, this did not just happen. Back of it was a vision, and the vision that had to do with the acquisition of the eighteen and one-half acres from the Dillon estate in 1929, goes back to John R. Townsend, for many years a trustee, and throughout his life one of Bloomsburg’s most civic-minded citizens. Many years before the land was finally acquired, and in the years when the board of trustees had to find the money as well as make the decision, Mr. Townsend favored the purchase At of the entire plot which later came into State ownership. the time there was purchased the small strip of land which made possible the erection of North Hall he urged the purchase of the entire acreage available. But he could not get the fellow members on the board to see it as he saw it. H e was looking far into the future. At that time land values were low. But the vision he kept with him, and he passed it on to his son, Joseph, who was for fifteen years or more. later to And become a member of the board the son kept the father’s vision bright in his mind. There came the time when Dr. John A. H. Keith was named State Superintendent by his fellow townsman, Governor Fisher. It was not long after Dr. Keith took over the office that he came to Bloomsburg and was escorted thru the buildings by Mr. Townsend. On the pretext that he wanted to show him the marvelous view from the Country Club hill he took him over the land in question, and when they had reached the very summit, where the new gymnasium building now stands, he told him of his father’s dream and of the great possibilities it held for future expansion. "I have never seen its equal" Dr. Keith remarked. "The State of Pennsylvania cannot permit this marvelous expansion The ALUMNI QUARTERLY, July. 1939 44 to escape it. You go ahead and see what can be done about it, and 1 11 be back soon with our budget secretary, so that he has the picture, and there will be no chance of failure at our site end.’’ In a few weeks they were back in Bloomsburg, and the budget secretary was as deeply impressed as his superior. It was not long until all parties concerned, with their lawyers gathered together in Harrisburg, and the way had been paved for the Bloomsburg State Teachers College of today. Exhibits Feature Centennial One of the fine features of the Centennial which were on display in various rooms was set the exhibits, aside for the purpose. Thousands showed of exhibits the progress of the college through the century, and revived memories for many. The past was linked with the present in exhibition of the work of many of the departments as now carried on at Bloomsburg. Dr. H. H. Russell was general chairman of this feature, and had on display a great mass of material of real interest to all who have attended Bloomsburg. Prof. John J. Fisher was chairman of the committee which showed, by means of exhibits, the development of the curriculum since the founding of the college. Mrs. Etta Keller was chairman of the committee responsible for collecting pictures, which were placed on display in the Library. The display included an exhibit of by the College or any of as far as it was its all publications issued classes or departments since 1839, possible to obtain them. Edition of The Morning Press Much interest in the Centennial was aroused by the Centennial Edition of the Morning Press. It is a large edition of over a hundred pages, filled with interesting pictures and articles dealing with the past and present of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College.

Dark clouds and a chilly breeze subsided for the afternoon presentation and, when the queen and her cortege made ready for the grand march down the campus, the blue skies and warm air were perfect for the spring festival. For the twelfth year the gala affair was staged at the college and included a cast of several hundred students, from the tiniest members of the Benjamin Franklin Training School to the most dignified senior at the State Teachers College. Miss Lucy McCammon was the May 16 was director. All types of dancing from the rollicking folk dances of another era to a ballet performance, a composition of a group of college girls and an innovation on the program, were included in the fete. Costumes were just as varied, presenting a colorful contrast to the green lawn which formed a background for the dances. Lining the terrace of the campus between Noetling Hall and Science Hall were the seventeen May poles, their streamers, of green, yellow, blue and white fastened to the ground in a tent formation in readiness for the dancers. Hundreds of people wandered about the grounds before and after the presentation snapping pictures and crowding about the queen and her cortege and begging them to pose. Center of interest was the lovely queen, Miss Donnabelle Smith, of Sunbury, who was gowned in white and carried a bouquet of yellow daisies and red roses. Her attendants were dressed in attractive, summery frocks and carried arm bouquets of carnations and stock in one hand, holding the twenty-four foot train of the queen in the other. Preceding the queen in the processional, which formed a long line from high on the hill down to the bleachers which lined one side of the Science Hall walk, were the crown bearer, Johnny Cherrington, and the flower girls, who scattered roses, lilac and stock blossoms in the pathway of the queen. The former wore a white and purple suit and jaunty tarn and carried the crown on a silk pillow. The flower girls included Nadia Lychos, Molly Deiterich, Mary Snyder, Mary R. Dreibelbis, Sylvia Perrotti, Opal Strausser, Ann Hayhurst, Janet Eifert, The ALUMNI QUARTERLY, July, 1939 46 Luanne Law, Betty Anne Bulla, Jeanne Griffith. Agnes Miller, Nancy Rinker and June Walter. Attendants of the queen were the following: Jane Oswald, Annabel Bailey, Elizabeth Jenkins, Anne Seesholtz, Ruth Kleffman, Virginia Burke, Jennie Tewskbury, Marguerite Lonergan.

A The crown, which was of yellow daisies and red roses, was placed upon the queen’s head by Ray McBride, president of the Student Council, who made a brief speech of presentation. The training school students then formed a semi-circle in front of the bleachers and sang “May Song, by William Luton Wood, ’ May Ramble, by Hollis Dann, a bright and spirited introduction to the program of songs and dances. and “A "St. Martin’s,’’ an old English country dance, and "The Tideswell Processional, a Morris dance, was presented by a large group of college women, some wearing print frocks and others attired in short striped trousers, capes and perky hats. Mother Goose appeared and brought with her most of her beloved story book people to "gambol on the green before the pleased audience. The kindergarten children directed by Miss Grace Woolworth and assisted by Miss Elizabeth Hart, paraded before the audience and proudly took their places in a semi-circle, looking like a picture page from a first-grade reader. The audience was especially delighted with the antics of the eight little sheep, whose fluffy white ears and tails aroused ’ much laughter. and a full skirt Mother Goose herself wore a tall, peaked hat and waist of red and black. Up and down in the manner of a teeter-totter went the ‘See-Saw’’ quartet, Betty Ruth Keller, Marjorie Fay, Molly Haas and Paul Fornwald, "Lazy Mary" was an amusing little number done by Sally Derr, Theresa Guinard, Joyce Kramer and Marjorie May. When the sheep ran and hid, Bo-Peep, who was Jane Logan, dressed in a long pink and black frock and carrying a tall, ribboned crook, had a hard time finding them.

The college president took occasion to comment that the West Chester laundry bag would be returned to that institution with the compliments of the student body.

He spoke of the necessity of building well trained, right-minded children into the men and women of tomorrow. He believed every student should have experience in a sport where team play is required so that each can learn the value of working together; the necessity of making personal sacrifice for the good of the whole.

Present plans include the dedication of the new buildings, originally planned for the Centennial, a concert by the Maroon and Gold Band, a foot-ball game with Kutztown, and a dance in the new gymnasium. Alumni who present their dues cards will be admitted free to the football game, the dedication exercises, the band concert, and the dance. The football game always presents a very colorful spectacle, with the hills of the valley of Bloomsburg dressed in their autumn hues, and with several bands present to add color and music to the occasion. The campus and town are always gaily decorated with the colors of Bloomsburg and the opposing team, and the beautiful decorations of the gymnasium present a fitting background for the dance. Home-Coming Day is the only Alumni event at which the entire student body is on the campus. It is a project in cooperation in which the entire college community participates. you have never come to Bloomsburg you should plan to do so this year.

Nelson, '11 Editor '12 Business Manager 1 Dr. Francis B. Head Haas appoint^ of State School System Dr. Francis B. Haas, president of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College since 1927, has resigned his position to become the head of Pennsylvania’s public school system. Dr. Haas, who in his twelve years at Bloomsburg has played a vital part in the continued growth of the College, has left Bloomsburg to return to the position which he left to come The ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October 1939 2 He was head here. 1927, under the first of the state school system from 1925 to administration of Gifford Pinchot. Announcement of the appointment came Wednesday, August 23, from the office of Governor James. Harvey A. Andruss, Dean of Instruction, has been appointed Acting President until Dr. Haas's successor has been appointed. A Philadelphian by birth, Dr. Haas has devoted his life to the furtherance of a well rounded program of education within reach of the masses. Since coming to Bloomsburg, he and his family have been active in the community, while the College has enjoyed an era under his administration which has been one of the most outstanding in its history. Succeeding Dr. G. C. L. Riemer, Dr. Haas came to Bloomsburg as principal of the College. He became its first president when that office was created in 1929 by an act of the legislature. An able executive, Dr. Haas has, throughout his administration, envisioned greater things a broader and fuller program of educational service for the College. — Physical Plant Greatly Increased The physical plant has been greatly enlarged during his administration, which reached its climax in the half-million dollar General State Authority program, which started in 1938 with the construction of a new gymnasium, a junior high school, a storage building, and the enlargement of the heating plant. In 1930, the Benjamin Franklin Training School was placed into service. Within the past few weeks, the lists of equipment to put the new buildings into use have gone to the Department of Public Instruction. Other projects that have been carried out during Dr. Haas's administration are construction of two additions to the old gymnasium, three fire towers in the auditorium, two fire towers in Science Hall, alterations in North Hall, a new athletic field, numerous sidewalks on the campus, alterations in the dining room, replastering and redecoration of the auditorium, reconditioning of the rooms in Waller Hall, rearrangement and refurnishing of the administrative offices, the installation of a public address system in the dining room, the installation of sound movie equipment in the auditorium, and the installation of an electric organ in the auditorium. It is impossible to stand at any point on the campus, or in the buildings, without seeing evidence of improvements made during the administration of Dr. Haas. It was early in his administration that the campus was substantially increased by the purchase of a large tract of land. Many of the new buildings stand on land purchased at that time. The ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October 1939 3 One of the outstanding features of the present college curriculum was added since Dr. Haas came to Bloomsburg. This is the Department of Commerce, a four-year course in commercial teaching. From the beginning, this department has attracted many students and the demand for such work has caused its enlargement from time to time. Since 1927, the nation has been plunged into the worst depression of its history, but through that trying time, Bloomsburg has been moving steadily forward. The program has been made increasingly attractive, both and those actively in teaching. In connection with this program, the has been offering week-end courses for teachers in a six-week summer session, and a three-week postHundreds have taken advantage of the opportunities to students preparing for teaching careers, engaged College service, session. thus offered. One of the fine accomplishments of Dr. Haas has been his sucessful effort to build an enthusiastic and loyal spirit among the Alumni. This is made evident by the fine attendance at the College on Home-Coming Day, and on Alumni Day. County organizations, many years dormant, have been brought to life, and enthusiastic meetings have been held all over the eastern part of the state. Because of the increasing enthusiasm on the part of the Alumni, two fine projects have been successfully carried out by the Alumni Association. One was the furnishing of the Bakeless Memorial Room, and the other was the Centennial Student Loan fund, which has been increased by almost $15,000 during the past year. Centennial Celebration , An Achievement The Centennial celebration, held last May, was on occasion that will not soon be forgotten by those who attended. It was Dr. Haas who first conceived the idea of visualizing one hundred years of educational service to the community and the Commonwealth. It was Dr. Haas who laid the groudwork for the celebration, and caused the whole affair to move with the smoothness of a well-oiled machine. It was Dr. Haas who provided the inspiration by which the whole college staff worked together to make the affair a success. It was Dr. Haas who built up enthusiasm among the Alumni, and inspired them to renew their loyalty to the Alma Mater which has done so much in shaping the course of their lives. Dr. Haas has made some fine contributions to the community life of Bloomsburg. He served for a year as president The ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October 1939 4 of the Bloomsburg Rotary Club. He has been active in the First Methodist Church. He has been active in the promotion of the Boy and Girl Scout program in Bloonsburg. He has spoken on many occasions at public gatherings of many groups in the Bloomsburg area, and always had a message that was worthwhile. Born in Philadelphia, the son of Frederick and Emma Haas, Dr. Haas was graduated from the Central High School in that city in 1904, and matriculated at the School of Pedagogy there. He later attended Temple University, where he received the degree of Bachelor of Science in 1913, and Doctor of Pedagogy in 1925. He received his master’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1922. He was made Doctor of Laws at Juniata College in 1934, and was honored by another doctor's degree at Bucknell this year. Dr. Haas taught in Philadelphia from 1900 to 1920, when Governor Sproul appointed him assistant director of the TeachHe was er Bureau in the Department of Public Instruction. made head of the bureau two years later, and Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction in 1924. Upon the death of J. George Becht, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Dr. Haas was named acting superintendent. Governor Pinchot appointed him as superintendent in 1926. He served in that office until Dr. John A. H. Keith took office in January, 1927. Dr. Haas assumed his duties as principal at Bloomsburg at the beginning of the summer session of 1927. He served as president of the Pennsylvania State Education Association for two terms. A precedent was broken when the assocation elected Dr. Haas to serve a second term. He served as a vice-president of the National Education Association in 1925, and was given a distinguished service medal by the state association in 1928. The appointment of Dr. Haas as Superintendent of Public Instruction has met with the enthusiastic approval of educators throughout Pennsylvania. The approval of Dr. Haas’s appointment, and esteem by which he is held in Bloomsburg is demonstrated by the following editorial from the Bloomsburg Morning Press: “Bloomsburg and the entire countryside will mingle their congratulations to Dr. Francis B. Haas upon his second occupancy of the position of State Superintendent of Public Instruction with expressions of sincere regret that he will no longer be president of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College. “During the twelve years he has been the directing head of that institution, he has won the respect of all with whom he came in contact. His departure will be a distinct loss to Blooms- The ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October 1939 5 burg and to those other communities in which the influence of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College is felt. “His ability as an organizer was reflected in a faculty spirit that any institution might envy. That same ability reached out into all the relations affecting both the college and the community. “Graduates of the College w;ill miss him, for he had brought back into the picture the zeal and affection they had for their Alma Mater. “Not only was he an organizer, but he was a builder as well. Enrollment has been swinging steadily upward, and the plant improvements have been greater under his administration than in any similar period in the administration’s history. He leaves “His activities in the town were numerous. a place that will be difficult to fill. The regrettable fact is that Bloomsburg in recent years has seen many of its outstanding men disappear from the local picture. Happily, Dr. Haas has been called to a broader field of endeavor, and we doubt not but that Bloomsburg, his adopted home, will always be close to his heart. “The well wishes of everybody will be with Dr. and Mrs. Haas and family, who will be returning to their former home when they move to Harrisburg, which in the course of time they will do.” The shows the following, clipped from the Harrisburg Telegraph, feelings of the people at the state capital: “Dr. Francis B. Haas, chosen by Governor James to be Superintendent of Public Instruction, is known among people To many active in educational affairs as a good schoolman. Harrisburg people he is a progressive and competent man of his profession. “Service as deputy superintendent and then as head of the department to which he has been named again will qualify Dr. Haas to undertake the big problems now confronting the chief of our educational system. His tenure of teaching and specialized positions, capped by his notable direction of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College will add to the value of the new James appointee”. The following editorial comment was printed in the Williamsport Sun: “In appointing Dr. Francis B. Haas, president of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College, to the important position of Superintendent of Public Instruction, Governor James brings to the post a man possessing exceptional professional qualifications for its responsibilities. The ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October 1939 6 “He is a native Pennsylvanian, educated in this state, and has been in Pennsylvania institutions. He knows by experience the problems of the teacher and public school administrator. In addition, he has served in administrative positions in the Department of Public Instruction and has had a previous term in the position to which the governor now his teaching career returns him. “Dr. Haas, with his background, should take well aware of Pennsylvania’s needs in as well, with the necessity of keeping system up to the needs of the times ability of the taxpayers to support such The his post education and familiar, that state’s educational without exceeding the a system. Haas should appeal to Pennsylvanians commits the management of the common- selection of Dr. in general, in that it wealth’s educational interests to a man of the highest professional standing, backed by over thirty years of practical experience. ni At a recent meeting of the Board of Directors of the AlumAssociation, the following resolutions were passed unani- mously: Whereas: Dr. Francis B. Haas, President of our College has been appointed Superintendent of Public Instruction by the Governor of Pennsylvania. Be it resolved: That the Board of Directors of the Alumni Association in behalf of the entire membership express our sincere regret at the departure of Dr. Haas and his family from the College and community. Be it further resolved: That we express our hearty thanks and appreciation to Dr. Haas for his outstanding leadership and splendid interest in the growth and development of the College and the Alumni Association. Be it further resolved: That we extend our hearty congratulations and best wishes for future success to Dr. Haas upon his reappointment to the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction and his advancement to a larger sphere of influence in the field of public education. Be it further resolved: That a copy of these resolutions be sent to Dr. Haas, published in the Quarterly, and spread upon the minutes of the Alumni Association. Respectfully submitted, R. Bruce Albert E. H. Nelson H. F. Fenstemaker The ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October 1939 7 Many graduates of Bloomsburg will recall that when Dr. Haas made his final address to the graduating class on Commencement Day, he invariably closed by saying “When you come back to Bloomsburg, remember that the latch string is always out”. The staff of the Quarterly and the officers of the Alumni Association cannot improve upon those words. Those who remain behind to carry on the work now constitute The Ancient and Honorable Order of Custodians of the Latch String, and will see that it is always on the outside of the door.

It is estimated that the students spend $26,000 per year the various business places in Bloomsburg. One hundred twenty students secured board and lodging in the homes of Bloomsburg, for which they paid approximately $33,600 per year. in The total administrative expenditures of the College for a year amount to $307,604.31.

Montgomery Smith, 1875-191 H. Montgomery Smith, a member of the Board of Trustees and a member of the Board of Directors of the Alumni Association, died in the Bloomsburg Hospital Friday evening, August 4. Stricken two weeks before his death, Mr. Smith was admitted to the hospital on July 26, and his condition remained serious despite a valiant attempt to save his life. Five blood transfusions were given, three of them within a thirty-six hour period. On Tuesday, August 1, Dr. Wayne Babcock, chief surgeon and chief of staff at the Temple University Hospital, came to Bloomsburg from Eagles Mere for a consultation. Two trips had been made to Philadelphia, so of the College, that Dr. Crocker, clinical pathologist of the Philadelphia make a study of Mr. Smith’s illness. physicians were active on the case. eral Hospital, could GenFour Mr. Smith’s condition seemed to be improving, but Mr. Smith became worse on the day before his death. Active in his profession from the time of his admission to the bar in 1899, Mr. Smith was engaged in legal work in the Bloomsburg area, and frequently appeared before the state appellate courts and the federal courts. Mr. Smith was a member of a family of lawyers. His grandfather and his father were both lawyers. Both of his sons, Hervey B. Smith, of Bloomsburg, and M. Paul Smith, of Norristown, are attorneys. Mr. Smith was born in Blomsburg July 8, 1875, and resided here throughout his life. He was educated in the public schools of Bloomsburg, and was graduated from the Bloomsburg State Normal School in 1893. He completed a two year course at Dickinson College, Carlisle, and continued his education at the University of Michigan, graduating with an A. B. degree in 1897, and from the law school, with the degree of LL. B. in 1899. Following his graduation, Mr. Smith entered the law office of the late Charles B. Barkley in Bloomsburg, and was admitted to practice in Bloomsburg, and was admitted to practice in Columbia County in September, 1899. Both in the practice of law and in civic work outside of his he was prominently identified with Bloomsburg. H e was for many years solicitor for the town, a position now held by his son, Hervey B. Smith. He was for many years solicitor for the Bloomsburg Poor District. During the years profession, The ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October 1939 9 of the triennial assessment, and during the launching of the state highway building campaign, he served as solicitor for the county commissioners. He took a prominent part in the work of the Columbia and Montour County Bar Association, serving on a number of permanent committees, and during his practice was counsel in many of the major cases in the courts of Columbia and adjoining counties. Throughout his life he was a Democrat, and in 1927 was a candidate for his party’s nomination for judge. Early in 1937 he publicly announced that he would not seek his party’s nomination in the judicial campaign of that year, but would support his friend of long standing, Clinton Herring, who in the fall of that year was elected judge of the courts of Columbia and Montour County. In January, 1938, when the members of the bar of those two counties entertained in honor of retiring Judge Evans and Judge Herring, Mr. Smith was selected to present Judge Herring, and did so in a very capable manner. Mr. Smith never lost his interest in the Bloomsburg State Teachers College, and at the time of his death was serving as a member of the Board of Trustees and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Alumni Association. It was through his initiative that the Alumni Association became incorporated. He made the address launching the alumni drive which resulted in adding more than $15,000 to the worthy student loan fund of the College as an Alumni Project of the Centennial last spring. He was long an active member and past president of the Bloomsburg Rotary Club, a member of the First Presbyterian Church, and was affiliated with the various Masonic bodies and Caldwell Consistory. Those surviving him are his wife, the former Harriet E. Bushnell, of Springfield, Ohio, whom he married in 1900; three children, Mrs. Clair Monroe, of Carlisle; Hervey B. Smith, of Bloomsburg; M. Paul Smith, of Norristown, four grandchildren, and a sister, Mrs. Arthur Witherspoon, of East Orange, New Jersey, and a brother, Ralph Smith, of El Paso, Texas. On the editorial page of the Bloomsburg Morning Press appeared the following tribute to Mr. Smith: "The death of H. Mont. Smith at the Bloomsburg Hospital will come as a great shock to the community. “Himself the third generation to be presented in the legal profession, he has for many years been recognized as one of the leaders of the Columbia County Bar. "His activities in the community were by no means confined to his profession. He was given liberally of his time, The ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October 1939 10 his talents, and his means to the community affairs through many years. “A devoted husband and these father, his death removes a comfrom the community and one whose life largely centered around his home.” As a meeting held August 22, 1939, the Board of Trustees adopted the following resolutions: manding figure Upon motion made by Judge Evans, seconded by Mr. Vincent, and unanimously carried, it was resolved that Dr. Haas, on behalf of the Board of Trustees, the Faculty, and the Student Body, express to Mrs. H. Mont Smith, and to the members of Mr. Smith’s family, its deep sympathy with them in their bereavement, and its deep appreciation for the long-continued interest in the College and his service as a member of the Board of Trustees. Mr. Smith rendered an outstanding and lasting service to the College in the reorganization of the Alumni Association. It was through his efforts that the Association was chartered and the drive for the Alumni Load Fund initiated and brought to such a successful conclusion." At a recent meeting of the Board of Directors of Alumni Association, Bloomsburg State Teachers College, following resolutions were passed: Our Heavenly Father in His Infinite Wisdom has reward Mr. H. Montgomery Smith, a trustee of the College and a member of the Board of Directors of the Alumni Association, and Whereas: called to his Whereas: vealed His loyalty and devotion to the College, as reMr. Smith, is a cherished memory in the hearts in the life of of the Board of Directors and many State Teachers College; therefore.

They looked to me like pieces of stone, but peculiar in appearance. They were cartridges that probably some soldier had discarded on his return from the war. returned to our desk, Peter began taking them apart. After dissecting quite a few, he wrapped the powder in some paper. Raising his hand, he asked permission to drop some paper in the stove. He has scarcely dropped it when a terrific blast was given and the stove door flew back. I guess the loose door is all that prevented serious damage. The teacher said, When we Why, what was Peter replied, “I don’t know; paper.” At the close of that session some time in June, the teacher gave me a recitation to memorize. It was a new poem written by some up-to-date author concerning the capture of Jefferson Davis. I never saw it published, but always remembered it. I will give it to you from memory.

In the fall of 1865 Carver and we had teaching responsibilities. family of six children, a George and a new teacher. Professor Henry fom California and assumed the Prof. Carver was a widower with his family arrived When Sarah, Alice, Elizabeth, Audella, Carver took charge of the school at the Old Academy, he taught the adults on the upper floor while the two older daughters taught the children on the lower floor. I was a student in the room taught by Miss Sarah Etta. Prof. Carver. The next spring, 1866, Prof. Carver notified the Board of Trustees that he would not remain unless they provided a better school building. The Board of Trustees decided to erect a building at a cost of $15,000. The selection of a location caused considerable argument and nearly half the trustees resigned and refused to contribute to the new building. It was at this time Conrad Bittenbender, my father, came into the picture. He became a member of the Board the second of May, 1866. and Mr. John Wolfe, the twelfth of July, 1866. They were both put on the committee to solicit subscriptions and their efforts were successful, but quite difficult. They were successful farmers and knew all the business men in the country and enthat The ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October 1939 17 deavored to solicit subscriptions for the stock of the original building costing $15,000. Many of the more wealthy class One refused to subscribe and even laughed at their efforts. gentleman told my father the sheriff would sell them out before they had a roof on the building. But they continued and the erection of the building was their reward. When the first building was dedicated, April 4 , 1867, the grounds were very rough. Prof. Carver announced a holiday and asked that everybody should come prepared to grade the school yard. It is needless to say that we were on hand and ready for the work. The ladies furnished drink and sandwiches and we had a picnic. The first board of instructors consisted of I. O. Best, Latin and Greek; J. W. Ferree, higher mathematics and astronomy; Prof. Rice, mathematics; Prof. Bates, mathematics; Prof. Ludwig, German, French, and Drawing; Aice Carver, piano; Julia Guest, preceptress; Sarah Carver, assistant preceptress. George Waller and I were a pair of bad boys. George usually was caught and I would escape. There were six in the Latin class. I would prepare the first section then I would sit at the end of the recitation bench. If Prof. Best began at the end where I was sitting, I would have the section all prepared. If he began at the other end, I would look up the words and have the last section ready by the time it was my turn. George would usually be caught. One day Prof. Best told him, that if he did not have his lesson the next day, he would be kept in school until he learned it regardless of the hour. The next day, George missed as usual, and he was told to remain after school. Prof. Best waited for him to recite. It began to grow dark and the Professor said to him, "George are you ready? It is getting dark.’’ George reached in his desk, took out a tallow candle and handed it to Prof. Bates. That was too much. Prof. said. "George, what can I do? I have begged, coaxed, and prayed for you, but you are too much for me.” I would was very listen to the recitation of the class in astronomy. interesting to me. One day George Bartch said to Prof. Ferree, "Professor, does the moon have any influence over earthly objects?" John Garman, a witty member of the class, answered, "Yes, it makes people loony sometimes." Prof. Ferree replied, "Tut, tut, Mr. Garmen. No personalities, no personalities." Another time I was listening to the class in Latin and I heard Lyold Appleman translate the first lines in Virgil as follows: "The man came to Troy with a dog in his arms.” Prof. Bates was in a fury, but Appleman stuck to it that was the correct translation. It The ALUMNI QUARTERLY, October 1939 18 always disliked participation in the rhetorical exercises and would dodge them. Prof. Best was determined to train me and announced that would have a declamation the next Wednesday. That was in October, 1870. When the next Tuesday came, said to him, “Professor, will not be here tomorrow, I must help my father take some articles to the fair.” Professor replied, “All right, next Monday morning you will I I I 1 in chapel. I helped my father take the articles to the fair and that evening while sitting around the fire, father said to me, “John, how would you like to be a printer? Benjamin Franklin, Schuyler Colfax and Simon Cameron were printers. I had always wanted to be a carriage builder, but I said to my father, “Oh. I guess one trade is as good as another.’ Father said, “How soon would you like to begin? You can start next April or next Monday.” I said, "Oh, I will begin next Monday. I went to school on Thursday for my books and I said to Mr. Best, “Well, I guess I will not speak for you Monday. I am starting to learn the printing trade on that day.” He said “Well, you are the slickest boy I ever came across. That is how I came to learn the printing trade. After three years at the printing trade I went back to school and entered the senior class in October 1873, graduated the next year, 1874. Our teachers at that time were Dr. T. L. Griswold, Principal; H. E. Barrett, Latin; J. W. Ferree, higher speak before the entire school mathematics and astronomy. Prof. Burroughs, mathematics; Prof. DePilchin, music; Mrs. Dent, elocution. One Wednesday during rhetorical exercises in Professor Barrett s room, he asked the class to write an essay on the school building. I began at the foundation and wrote all about the buildinq. I said the timbers were bouqht at the mills in Espy. Prof. Barrett stopped me and said, “Come, come, we don't There want any fiction." replied, “I am not writinq fiction. were no lumber mills at Bloomsburg when the first building was built. was here at the time.” He said. “All right, go ahead.” While I was at my printing trade from 1870 to the fall of There 1873, the school was going through a titanic struggle. were not enouoh scholars paying tuition to meet the financial obligations. The trustees were compelled to borrow upon a note from the bank. It was at this juncture that John Wolfe and Conrad Bittenbender were on the Board of Trustees. Notes were not approved without their signatures and, at one time, the debt carried was approximately $20,000.

As President Arnaud C. Marts conferred the honorary degree on Dr. Haas, he said: "A commencement at Bucknell would not seem complete if we should fail to honor the head of a sister college. This is one way we have of saying that the war on ignorance, superstition, and narrowness of spirit is a general war which requires the friendliest of cooperation between all the agencies dedicated to that end. It would be impossible to find a friendlier neighbour than the Bloomsburg State Teachers College, and Bucknell is happy to have this fine college as a friend and ally. realize that the chief reason for these cordial relations is to be found in the mind and spirit of Bloomsburg’s president, and we are happy today to give this public testimony of our admiration We for this college Dr. marked and its president." the speaker at the Corporation dinner which the close of Bucknell’s academic year.

The first issue contains one of Miss Sands' own work, and the work of two other poets, Mrs. Helen Newman Ash, of Wheaton, Illinois, and Mrs. Margaret Unbewust Soroka, of Bradford, Mass. The three contributors were all born and reared in Benton. Their interest in poetry has grown with the years, and through their friendship they have exchanged work for criticism. Together, they cherished the idea of a poetry magazine and found it with the thought in mind that it should be designed to discover new poets. The editorial staff, which included Miss Sands as editor, with Mrs. Seroka and Mrs. Ash as associates, has published verse frequently in poetry magazines throughout the country. The associate editors are well-known verse writers for Boston and Chicago papers. New The autumn number will appear in October, and Miss Sands hopes to print the work of some hitherto unheard-of verse writers whose poems are fresh and vital. So far the staff has received a heterogeneous collection of contributions from all parts of the country, representing a wide scope of ideas. The editors wish the magazine to have a cosmopolitan flavor, and to be open to all new interests in modern contributions from competent poets. The ALUMNI QUARTERLY. October 1939 verse.

Out in the woods by running brooks, Away from cares and lovely books; Absent from home and cheery friends. squirrels From dawn of day till daylight ends. Alone with self and verdant beauty.
