Chas tenin gPresented Student Government Arnthion Quartette St. Thomas ' College Wins At Artis ts Course Constitution Ente rtains Stude nts The la,nky veterans of St. Thomas College who have been winning renown on the court throughout this section met and defeated the Maroon and Gold Cagers at Scranton on Friday evening. The score was 52 to 52 in St. Thomas' favor but the score does not indicate how hard fought the game- really was. Altho outscored in the final period, our team gave a good account of themselves in the initial period. Thruout this period, Coach Booth's proteges outplayed the Scranton boys. It was due to the lack of an adequate de'tense, that St. Thomas scored so many points. Our offense was the best that our boys put up this season but without a defense they could not keep the St. Thomas team from scoring, St. Thomas scored 24 times from the field while Bloomsburg scored but 11. Kirker led the scoring for the locals with eight points, while Kelly and Kilhulen were the high scorers for St. Thomas. Van Buskirk and Garrity -ilayed a fine game for the locals. Hundreds of students and Alumni j ourneyed to Scranton to witness the contest and the old "Town Hall" was filled with cheers at all times. After the game the boys enj oyed dancing to the music of Don Gregory 's imperial ten . VARSITY HUM BLES BUCKNELL Taking an early lead, Varsity defeated the strong Bucknell Prosh team 39 to 30 in a game that was replete vith thrills here Saturday. Bloomsburg opened scoring when Wadas tossed a field goal and after the first few minutes of the game started piling up a lead that had become ten points as the first half closed. The score was 24 to 14. Bucknell started a savage bombardment of the Bloomsburg basket when play resumed and at times narrowed down the home five 's lead to six or seven points but never did they seriously threaten. Nick VanBuskirk with his accurate shooting from the side of the court snared seven field goals, five of them In the first half to lead the field in scoring. Wadas , Bloomsburg forward , played a brilliant game in the first half until ho was removed after three personal fouls were called on him. Three players were ruled out on personals fouls. They were Yacabonis and Captain McGrath , of Bloomsburg, and Thompson , of the visitors. It was the first home game for Continued on Page 8 The Chastening setting forth the whole duty of childhood will be presented Thursday evening at the college auditorium. This play is one of a reportie planned for any community rendered by players of the first rank. The wliole emphasis in all of Mr. Kennedy 's plays is placed upon the plays themselves and not upon the stage setting. The play will last about an hour and three quarters, and is modern in all respects, dealing with a problem of world importance in simple language. The cast of characters are:— A carpenter Charles R. Kennedy His wife Edith Wynne Mathison The son.. '. Margaret Gage The scene is an open place where three roads meet. The time might be any time. GIRLS SORRY TO LOSE MISS STAUFFER When the girls were told of Miss Stauffer 's illness at a meeting last week they were very sorry. We are very sure that she did all she could both for the girls and the college as a whole during the short stay that she had here. She was very anxious to form a constitution and appointed certain committees to talk matters over and help her but for some reason or other the constitution was not presented to the student body. We hope that it will be presented in the near future as we certainly do need it. We hope that our new dean will be as nice to us as Miss Stauffer was and wish Miss Stauffer a speedy recovery. For the time being we think that Miss Ransom and Miss Sands can fulfill her place and perform the duties which Miss Stauffer has hitherto performed. Very soon aft er the opening of school in the fall, a committee was called together by Miss Stauffer to draw up a student government constitution. This committee was made up from representatives from each class In the school. The girls elected Esther Lloyd as chairman and under the guidance of Miss Stauffer, worked for several weeks upon a constitution which they thought would be suitable to govern the school. When this was completed it was sent to several people who are authorities on such documents, for their approval . The boys have also drawn up a similar constitution under the guidance of Mr. Koch. At the present time the two Constitutions are in the hands of a committee composed of members of the faculty who are endeavoring to formulate one constitution that will serve both men and women dormatories to a good advantage. The illness of Miss Stauffer has caused a delay in getting the constitution ready for use, but at the beginning of the second semester, next month, it is hoped that it may be adopted and put into working order. JUNIORS INTERESTED IN ATHLETIC S always seem more interested in all For some reason or other theJuniors gymnastics than are the seniors. The juniors take more interest in all sports and are seen in the gym more often than the seniors are. It isn't that the seniors are not interested but they are so busy studying and writing lessons plans. The juniors also have very much work to do but they do it in very much less time.

It is a good land , a fair land Where sparkling streamlets flow. Between blue hills and mountains Whose tips are white with snow, But green , bright green, the valleys Shine in the sun below. But short, though bright, is summer In these high latitudes, For Jamtland lies in Sweden Where Nature 's softer moods Are waited for with longing, Yet she almost deludes The poor inhabitants with Her warm and Spring-like moods. The winter there is joy; The snow falls ten feet deep ; The men get out their snowshoes; The children laugh and leap ; The babies lie in cradles Fur-lined, and sleep and sleep; The snowbirds git on tree limbs And nod, and wink, and cheep. But when the Spring comes singing, Then each must plow his fields And plant his oats and barley ; Each in the harvest wields His sickle or his cradle, And three short months thus yields A goodly crop of black-bread , The cold to help men shield. And so life goes a-swinging Beneath the Arctic's reign, In that fair land, that far land From whence of old the Dane Came down to meet the ocean And harass all the main, To build his ships of fir trees And sail the seas past Spain. To sail the blue mid-ocean And find beyond a land, A land unnamed, aye nameless; To step upon its sand Unhar.med, and call it Vinland. They were a mighty band Of heroes fair and stately Who firs t gazed on this land. My ancestors too came from That land which heroes made, A land with rivers flowing Into clear lakes embayed With surface softly rippled By zephers nymph arrayed. Did I say nymph ? 'twere better If they in Greece had stayed. Here trolls, and knomes , and pixies, The fairies of the North , Would scare all light-hearted creatures Who dared to venture forth . I want to walk the barrens Where trolls have wandered forth ; Perhaps I might catch a few In Jamtland of the North. —By ARVID Continued from Page 1 COALDALE BEAT JR.
