Now and then, last year, Helen came to 7:50 class on time, but this year she has reformed, and is invariably seen powdering her nose in the cloak- room at 7:4o. Helen has a passionate fondness for argument, and may often be seen in the midst of an animated group, holding forth on tlie subject of theology, politics, eugenics or fashions. Her versatility and eloquence will make a remarkable school teacher of her, but we know that she will meet with success in almost any career she chooses to adopt.

It is so planned that it becomes possible for a student from a third, second, and equivalent of a four j'ears' first class high school to enter and finish with the high school and a two years' professional teacher's course. The first and second years of the course aim to bring up any academic work which the student may not have comjjleted to make his attainments those of a graduate of a first class high school. The Junior and Senior years of the course aim to take up the connnon branches in review, with the purpose of learning how to teach them. Instruction is also given in Manual Training, Domestic Science, Domestic Art, Drawing, Agriculture and other optional and required academic subjects. The professional woik is mainly confined to the third and fourth years of the course, and affords training in School Management, General and Special Methods, Psychology, and Child Study, History of Education and one period daily of Practice Teaching in the Training School, for a year, under the expert supervision of four critic teachers. 13-J {OBITER.1, fHE ^ ieia~y 1 PREPARATORY work done at Bloomsburg differs materially from that of the majority of preparatory schools. All the strictly college preparatory branches, as well as those of the teacher's course, are presented with reference to their pedagogic as well as academic value. This necessarily results in giving students a broader conception of these subjects than is otherwise po sible, and renders graduates better able to think for themselves. That these methods are practical is shown by the fact that Bloomsburg is constantly represented among the students of the Colleges and Universities of the country. The courses of this department may be roughly classified under three heads or main course, the classical, the scientific, and the medical preparatory. As the history of the latter course is not widely known it has been thot advisable to present it at this point. The Medical Preparatory Course had a very humble beginning. It was begun by ])rivate arrangements made by Prof. Hartline for W. W. Preston, now Dr. W. W. Preston of Montrose, Pa., and Elam Frederickson. By this arrangement they agreed to help in teaching the large class in Elementary Physiology in return for which they were to receive advanced instruction in Human Anatomy. As this was not on the regular schedule they were obliged to work at whatever time possible. It was found that the most desirable time was from (S to 9 p. m. This private arrangement lasted for two years. Because of the increased demand for this subject a class was organized and it was officially recognized by giving it a place on the official program. At the same time provision was made for extension of the course by including work in Histology and Bacteriology and shaping up the cour.se .so that girls who intended to become trained nurses could get this biological training. During this time Dr. A. K Aldinger, head of the Department of Phy.sical Training, was gradually develo]3ing the Physical Training Course with the view of preparing young men and women for this line of work. Matters were so arranged that the courses were adjusted and overlapping eliminated. At this time the advanced Human Anatomy was taught by Dr. Aldinger, and Prof. Hartline taught the subjects Comparative Anatomy, Histology, Physiology and Hygiene and Bacteriology. It was at this period that the course reached the highest point of its development. This j)hase in the development brot into the foreground students who have since taken courses in Forestry and have taken courses in Universitx' of Michigan, Syracuse, Columbia, U. of P., and the summer school of Biol, of Brookl\u Institute and have become U. S. Foresters, high .school and Normal school teachers and assistants to University and College Profe.ssors of the Biological Sciences. 13a iCQUH] tOBITEFvl.- Commercial ^I^VjJlTH the great demand for stenographers and typewriters pouring into the 1 4 j[ different departments of the state, all who can avail themselves of the C opportunity to train for this great work should do so when the first proposition is put up to them.

The Society was organized in 1866 with ten charter members, among jij^ whom we are proud to number Dr. D. J. Waller, Jr., our Principal, and John M. Clark, former Secretary of Board of Trustees. During these years Philo has steadily grown, and during the Fall Term of our last year received one hundred and seventy new members. The aim of Philo Society is to give to its members the necessary training and pre]jaration to enter upon jniblic literary work which is so necessary for people who desire to become successful teachers. In order to develop their aim, Philo adopted the plan of holding weekly meetings. These \veekl\- meetings are held Saturday evenings, and programs consisting of readings, musical selections, and debates are given by members of Philo. Aside from doing literary and social work, Philo is a strong supporter of athletics, and everywhere the foot ball squad journeys Philo may feel justly proud of the blankets she purchased for them.

S we ^ 7A glance over the activities of Callie, we cannot fail to note how closely the spirit shown during the events of the past year corresponds to that r*" * characteristic of our society thriiout its whole history. Well has that spirit guided us in carrying out the thot of our motto, "Excellence or Nothing." When we began our society work last fall we were prone to be disheartened because we could not boast of overwhelming numbers. We went at our work however, with the determination to give Callie a successful year. With this aim in the foreground we took hold of our Saturday evening meetings and produced many ajjpropriate programs. During the early part of the j-ear we had prepared for a public program, when we were asked to cooperate with the rest of the school in giving a vaudeville to raise money for procuring a band to help win the Wyoming game. We resjjonded, and contributed a number of selections which were well given. At this time we presented the school with a service flig, which now hangs in chapel. On the twenty-third of February we celebrated our forty-fourth anniversary. The morning program was made up of selections of the highest character, and we received the praise of those who were our guests for the occasion. There was a large number of the more recent graduates back for the day, among them The play, "All of a Sudden Peggy," was well a number of our boys in khaki. given and well liked. The whole day was characterized by the same patriotic spirit that has been manifested in Callie thriiout the whole year. We are sure that the majority of people went away with the feeling that they had spent one of their happiest days at B. vS. N. S. And so our work went on thruout the \ear. In looking over the results of our year, we realize that in order to con luct a successful society, it is not so necessary to have large numbers and nuuh money as it is to have the spirit. In a smaller society the work must necessarily be distributed among a larger percentage of members, thus greatly increasing the interest. The members must necessarily get closer together and cooperate more, and so accomplish more. And thus we feel that we have accom)ilished our year's aim, and are sure that the U'lS class will recall with saii-ifaction their man\- happy times spent in Callie work. 139 Y. M. C.

A crowd of easily ;'>000 saw Normal's green team, with one lone veteran in the line-up, go against Wyoming's veterans a team that averaged at least ten pounds more to the man and they saw Normal literally play them off their feet. They saw the visitors score within two minutes after play began on the veriest fluke, and then witnessed the spactacle of Normal, rather than disheartened by that handicaji, literally pound its way through the Wyoming defense and by short, stabbing gains carry the ball half the length of the field for a touchdown. Twice again in that first half they saw Normal tear its way through a stubborn Wyoming defen.se to within ten and fifteen yards of the goal, only to lose by a costly fumble. Again in the third quarter, did they see Normal carry the ball almost to Wyoming's goal only to lose it. And then, for the first time in the wh' le game that Wyoming's defense assumed anything like real proportions, they saw the visitors assail Normal's gates and witnessed one of the most remarkable defenses any field has ever seen. With their last ten 3-ards placing them within a foot or two of the Normal goal they made the gain by an inch, and it required will — — two more downs to put the ball acro.ss. game when Normal was really playing That was the only period in the entire a defen.sive game. CRASH CAME QUICKLY. That, however, was sufficient to throw a mantle of gloom over the thousands of Normal cohorts. There remained six minutes to play when the kick-off sent the ball close to Normal's goal post. That Normal could tie the score in those few minutes seemed impossible. An offside play set them further back, but the crowd was then thrilled as it has seldom been thrilled before as they saw Normril's wonderful machine plow through the Wyoming line for the same stead}^ relentle.ss jabs that had been bowling over the supposedly more seasoned Wyoming line all through the game. There was no withstanding that furious attack. Normal's eleven, aroused over possibility of its su])erior attack being thwarted by a miscue here and there, tore relentlessly on. The crowd went wild. Normal by this time was out of its own territory and in the du.sk of an approaching night was passing rnpidly over the chalk-lined field. A fumble meant defeat, but the fumble that had baffled their hopes before was this lime absent. Through the tackles and the guards -playing straight foot ball all the time— shot that Normal attack. The end of ])lay was drawing perilously near, but just before the whistle blew, over the line went Hower with the tying score. Uormack there had the chance to win the game. The angle at which he was obliged to kick was an easy one, but the ball shot ea.'^ilv three feet to the right of the goal post, and again victory was thrust from Normal's lips. But the great crowd thought the goal had been kicked and forthwith went wild. They would have gone wild, anyhow, for hadn't they sten one of the greatest games Central Pennsylvania has ever staged ?

Facing this condition of affairs Coach Weimer and Captain Bavolack began work with entirely new men. The players were recruited from the class teams of last year, with the exception of Kirkhuff and Schools. This material was finally rounded into a winning team which has more than held up the honor of B. S. N. S. The basket ball season opened for Normal away from home, against a seasoned college team.

The team this year Girls' Varsity girls was strong considering the new material to work on. Miss Fisher, a new member, strengthened the team by her work as forward. The season opened with a game on the Normal floor with Hazleton. Altho this game came before our girls had much practice, they soon showed hew they could play by defeating Hazleton with a score of 12-2. The second game was played with the Wilkes-Barre High School, an exceptionally strong team. This was the best and most exciting game of the season, and despite the fact that Miss Keene was unable to play in center, Normal girls came out victorious. It was a fast game from beginning to end, the first The second from the half ending with a score of 10-7 in Wilkes- Barre's favor- half ended with a score of 16-15, Wilkes-Barre then fouled, free line and Miss Foye tossed the goal that gave Normal the victory.

A. team is an old one at basket ball, and altho our girls played a very fast game, they could not outplay them. The score was a close one showing that our girls were not slow. On March 21 the Normal Varsity team went to Wilkes-Barre to play two return games, one with Wilkes-Barre High School, and the other with Wilkes-Barre Y. W. C. A. Normal lost both games, but the game with High School will never be forgotten by our girls, and the reception given them by the High School girls.

In fact, the Senior basket team was considered a "joke," as it was thought by everybody (j that we had no one who could play basket ball. However, with "Mike" Leach as Captain, and Lohman as Manager, we turned out the winning team of the season. In fact, we won every game played including one with the Varsity Reserves. "Steve," our tall center, showed his ability by out-jumping every other center who opposed him. "Eddie" Yost, altho small in stature, turned out to be our star forward, having the largest number of points to his credit. Next to him in regards to points was Lohman, who quickly developed into a "star" player. As to the other men of the team. Leach, Pollock, Johns, Musgrave and Wolfe, altho not "stars," did good work and helped to make the season a ball successful one. JOBITE R :"S^^-':;;^|^fepil I ) Girls' Basket leis Ball SENIOR YEAR.

The dance of the shapes was done remarkably well by six girls. A number of girls from the Model School, as attendants of Ceres, Juno, and Iris, did well in their dance.
