Students, This is Your Paper and First Play Produced This Term Was Your Support is Needed. Written by Percival Wilde. The staff of this publication wishes to present our policy in connection with this work. Students : This is your paper. We as a staff , want you to feel that you have a part in putting this proposition over. Your support is needed , not only now but after you leave this institution , for our campus is the State. Any contributions that you wish to make will be accepted , ideas, materials, and inspirations will be most welcome. Alumni : This is your paper, you are now given an opportunity to relive your school days. It will certainly be of interest to you to know what is taking place at "Old Normal," and we who are here wish to know what you are doing. This paper will give us an opportunity to become acquainted with each other, to feel as memberi of a family and also to keep alive the memory of our school days. We would be glad to hear from you at all times as you may be able to give us some news about your classmates that will be of interest to us. Some of the alumni may hav e changed their names or may expect to do so; well , tell us about it. With your help, we will be able to do much to aid our Alumni Associations and thus reflect honor upon our Alma Mater. [B. S. N. S ] PICTURES FOR THE OBITER Seniors whose last names begin with A, B, C, D, E, F, or G , should have had their pictures taken for the Obiter by this time. If you do not go during the time that is allotted you miss your turn and must wait until the others have taken theirs. All pictures must be taken some time this month. Mr. Phillips stated that pictures taken after this month will increase in price. Watch the bulletin boards and listen for Chapel announcements so that y$u do not miss your turn. [ B. S. N. S ] [ B. S. N. S 3 Faux Pas. At a reception held in our school some time ago the Faculty had complementary tickets and were to enter the reception hall through a side door. A Freshmnn was stationed at this door to see that none others than Faculty or their families entered. Mr. Berry happened to be n new member on the Faculty . Mrs. Berry and her two daughters appeared at the Faculty door for admittance. The Freshmnn , not knowing the Indies, and obeying instructions as all good Freshmen should , denied them entrance to the reception. This happened : Mrs. Berry (impatiently) —"Boy, do you know who wo are? We are cho Berry 's." Evancho—"I don 't care if you 're tho ccvt'B whiskers—you can't got in here without your tickets." B. D.

" GREAT TALENT DISCOVERED The first play produced by the Bloomsburg Players this term was one written by the inimitable Percival Wilde. It is called "The Sequel. " The stoi'y is concerned with the proposal of a very unwise young man to a very shrewd young lady. After the acceptance, She, rather puzzled by his unlovelike attitude, adroitly questions the unhappy young man and finds out that this proposal has been instigated by Papa , the self-made department store head. With laughable cleverness she plans to punish them both with one stroke. The play was executed in a manner that reflected credit on both the players and the director. • The following was the cast of characters : He Walter Rohlands She : Elizabeth Delaney The Very English Butler „ Billy Walsh The Department Store Papa George Janell The play was directed by Gertrude Buscher, former secretary of the Club. —— [ B. S. N. S. ] SPEED AND ACCURACY Often have we found that speed is mistaken for accuracy. Too many individuals substitute speed for accuracy as a thing that can be placed in its stead. It takes more time to get a thing right than it does wrong, but we are not interested in how rapidly a child can get something wrong. The value of speed is determined by what use it is put to. It is not a matter of how fast one can typewrite, but how accurately the typing is done. One is not concerned with the length of time an artist takes to produce a masterpiece , they are, however, concerned with the accuracy maintained; the harmonizing of colors, the perspective of the drawing, the expressions portrayed by the individuals drawn , etc. Quality above all else should be the goal of everyone. Obtain accuracy and speed will follow. The rate at which we are able to perform duties is less important than excellence of production. SCHOOL SPIRIT School Spirit—What is it? School spirit is your spirit—the combined spirit of all the students and Faculty and whole-hearted support in ALL the activities of our school. There is one thing, at present , that should interest our entire student body and alumni as well. That one thing is our athletics. The best place we can show our school spirit is at our football games. The cheering this years is far superior to that of previous years , but from now on we want our spirit to show itself in our cheering. Let us then resolve to make our games more exciting by the amount of school spirit shown. Let us back our team with vim , vigor, and hearty co-operation. Bloomsburg has put some champion teams on the grid before and it is doing it now , bat their success will be more phenomenal if the student body cheers f rom the side-lines. If your ambition is at a low ebb , remember that yelling does not require nearly so much effort or strenuous labor as the team 's playing. Let's have at least six hundred and fifty rooters at each game , and bring with you all your reserve pep. [ B. S. N. S. ] A MYSTERIOUS INTRUDER IN ROOM NO. 295 Crick ! Crick ! Crick !—crick ! crick ! crick ! Upon opening the door this strange sound greeted our ears every evening. It is a sort of out-of-place sound , reminding one of woods and glens. But , upon flooding the place with light we find ourselves in Room 295. The sound continues unceasingly. What can it be? We search under the bed , under the dresser , under the Orthophonic—everywhere , but no trace of the possessor of this little voice can be found—not a clue. The voice stops suddenly. We get down to study. In the midst of an interesting chapter in Psychology we hear the sound break forth anew like a sudden peal of thunder. Our studying is interrupted. Our pugnacious instincts are aroused to their greatest height. We arise from our chairs, and armed with slippers and shoes we set forth in search of the intruder. Pie was not hard to find this time, for, lo and behold ! there he is on a paper in front of us. It was only a cricket. A few of the fellows from the [ B. S. N.

' [ B. S. N. S ] HISTORY OF SCIENCE HALL Over twenty-five years ago, Bloomsburg Normal had great need of more class rooms. To relieve the crowded condition of the School and to provide room for t he new t each ers and their cla sses, plans were made for a new building to be built on the campus. This building was Science Hall. As we students go to and from our classes in Science Hall and enjoy the privileges of having such a finely equipped building, we should know something of its interesting history. Funds were appropriated and plans drawn up for the building about the ye ar 1900 , and work was immediately begun. However ,, the workmen soon found that they had an almost unsurmountable difficulty to contend with. They were working on sandy soil and could not strike a solid foundation on which to build. Finally, when the men thought they had'd suitable foundation they began building and the bottom fell out. After a good deal of delay and trouble , a huge pile driver was brought to Bloomsburg to sink concrete posts for the foundation of the building. Over one hundred and seventy posts were sunk in a square formation and across tho square. This is what supports Science Hall. At the time the Hall was built it was considered one of the best planned school buildings in the country. As you have often noticed it is built on a half-story plan instead of the usual one story, so while Science Hall is called a four story building, It really is a six story one, Science Hall adds dignity, charm and prestige to our campus and Is a building any school should bo proud to possess.

I Last Friday Professor Sutliff gave an interesting discussion concerning the organization of outside Curriculum. In this School there arc many organizations such as: the dramatic club, glee club, music apprecintion clubs, and the athletic leaders. All of these have their maximum memberships but they by no moans include the entire- student body. Prof , Sutliff gave his opinion and those of others in favor of the organization of new clubs such as history, geography, geology, and nature appreciation. It is desired by tho Faculty that all students should participate in the work of at least one of these organizations thus making-thorn active and more beneficial.

North Hall has gone through several interesting cycles of life in its metamorphosis until at last it has emerged into an up-to-date dormitory for boys. Many, many years ago , North Hall was built mainly for the purpose of housing the people who worked for the Normal School and to provide a laundry for the School. The building was smaller than it now is, being only two stories high, and naturally, not as well equipped as it is at present. As time went on our Normal School grew, as do all schools. The girls' dorm itory was filled and overflowing with girls. . In order to relieve the crowded condition in the dormitory, the authorities looked to North Hall to solve the problem of sheltering students. Then the rooms that had been formerly housed by the maids were renovated and North Hall became a part of the girls' dormitory. it continued to be m possession of the girls for a long time. Then fire almost destroyed it and the girls were forced to room down town. Af ter several years had elapsed North Hall was rebuilt on a more modern plan and made larger by adding another story. Situated on the top of the hill and on such an ideal spot with a wonderful view of the surrounding country it proved to be a very attractive building so that the ladies on the Faculty claimed it to be their own. The teachers lived there for several years, long enough to have its name changed from North Hall to Faculty Hall. All of you who were here two years ago know no doubt , of t he final change which was made. In April, 1924 , all of the Faculty who roomed there deserted the hall and sought rooming places in the town. Carpent ers , pain ters, and plumbers took possession as soon as the hall was vacated. It was painted , new showers added and everything possible done to make it attractive. The following Fall the boys moved in. They are pro ud of their building, in fac t, it has been said that the boys have termed it the Fraternity House. [ B. S. N. S. ] Captain (to gunner)— "See that man on the bridge five miles away?"

There are more extra-curricular activities this year than at any time in the history of the school. This is partly due to the fact that every student must participate in at least one extra curricular activity each year. Many Clubs are springing up in the various departments of the School. The Teacher Training instituted hi September in the schools of Berwick is proving very successful. The Berwick teachers are enthusiastic about the oppor tunity. Miss Rich is in charge of the student teachers sent to Berwick. There are twenty-four of them. Eight of the girls are Berwick residents. The remaining sixteen are students out of our dormitory. There will be a shift of students at the end of the first nine weeks. Dr. Riemer and Mr, Hausknecht were at Harrisburg on Friday to confer with the budget officer.
