" We held a pajama parade and took a "duckin g " . Wow! How nice. But it all hap pens in a life-time. On that memorab le evenin g, about fort y green Freshmen were assembled in the lobby of North Hall. They were bellowing an appropriate ballad , written for the occasion and en titled "How Green I Am " . 'Short y * Edmunds direc ted th e singing and with the except ion of several in t erru pt ions f r o m ' Frosh ' Stier and 'Frosh ' Taylor , i t w as fairl y well done , (if we also exclude the voices of the frosh ). A cer t ain "Frosh " Fetter had a sudden cra ving to see a girl friend at Waller Hall and Chief Marshal Kra ynack , led his " paj ama *d ones down to the court at long porc h , benea th the windows of the girls dormitory like so man y "Romeos " . Bu t alas! the Juliets gave the would-be Valenti nos * a cool receptio n in the form of a deluge of wat er , (had it only been flower- pots) . Chief Marshal Kra ynack , who , because of his well ch osen armor , came unscra tched throu gh the deluge , t hen led his t rou p e of actors to the center of the ceremonial grounds and the pro gra m was opened by "Frosh " Stier and "Frosh " McFadden praying to Allah. They thanked Allah for the blessing the y had just received from the heavens and prayed for more . They got it. Frosh Johns was a tower of strength in wres tlin g with tem ptation. With a battle -cr y of "Ge t thee behind me, Sa t an , " he waded into his imaginary opponent and finall y vanquished the monster. "Frosh " Roberts showed his exception at athletic abilit y when he broke a world 's record, white he jumped at Dr. Wilson Speaks at Special Meeting » " ¦ ¦ " Dr. Wilson , the National Director of the Juni or Red Cross , spoke at a specially called meetin g of the College Tuesday, Septe mber 25. His topic was "The Objectives and Aims of Education " . Under this broad title he asked us to include all educatio n , not only that of the school but of the playground , business , social life, etc. He said that the most import ant thin g in connection with any prepar ation is to discover the goal toward which one is strivin g, find out what one is tr ying to do .what he is to achieve. He said that the end , goal , aim , or pur pose is the biggest thin g you can know about any j ob. The difference between the artisan teacher and the artistic teacher 'is in the difference of degree in which the two are grounded in the objectives , aims, and means of attainin g those aims. Different classes of people in your communities will expect you to accomplish widely differing ends as a teacher. One class will expect you to train boys and girls to earn their bread and butter. Another will want you to drill their children upon the knowledge of the world , turn them into little encyclopedias. Another class, usually found at Brid ge Parties and Pink Teas , will ask you to brin g culture and refinement. Anoth er group will mainta in that the purpose of the school is formal training or discipline. No one of these aims is enough. We need them all and more to o. The new idea or social view of the school dates fro m about 1910, It is that we must train all children accordin g to their ability to meet all the situat ions that they will encounter in life. To do this they must train for: 1. Vocation 2. Citizenship 3. Leisur e 4. Health 5. Chara cter conclusions. "Frosh " Robbins tore up some t urf while digging for an idea , which esca p ed him. Some other features of the evening were "Frosh " Warmon , telling the girls his whole life 's histor y by serenadin g them with "Hallelujah! I' m a Bum. " "Frosh " Jenkins gave a few lessons in soa p bubble blowin g to the tune of "I' m Forever Blowing Bubbles. " " Frosh " Litwhiler almost ended his own life very suddenl y when , he attempted to play "Taps " on his trum pet before the ceremonies were over. " Frosh " Fette r showed how unrul y one freshman could be, when he imFor media tely asked for a certain girl. f reshmen t o even t hink of girls is t he mos t horrible of viola tions , but he rendered "The Evenin g Call " (not a newspaper but a song) with a trumpet and he was forgiven. ' The ceremonies ended with a grand rush ot stampede upon each other , (as freshmen always do), and prayed for rain. Again the y were obliged after some great portion of a cistern , had fallen upon them. , Chief Marsha l Kra ynack then led his willin g actors * to North Hall and ended a never forgetful night, in bed.

The thread used at Bloomsburg is that unbreakable kind and consequently it is the duty of every student whether he be old or new, to see that Bloomsburg 's cherished and characteristic traditions are observed and to assist so that others shall do the same. Whatever you found at this college when you came is right; it is the tradition , and you are asked nothing better than to live up to that tradition regardless of how unnatural that custom may seem to you. Freshmen , remember, that when you enter Bloomsburg you are considered a man. Be honest with yourself and always keep in mind the fact that you are here for a life purpose. Sometimes the freshmen rebels. Nine times out of ten , he doesn 't rebel because he t^^^ vil ^^^ VfF ^IHPlf ^H^vit ^Hl^tvWV H. & C.

He is so eager to make an impression that he usually succeeds in making himself look very foolish. Now as to the freshmen dink. A freshman is very foolish , indeed , who does not comply with the rules and wear his dink properly because as a social creature he has to accept many of the dictates of society whether he likes them or not; and if he enters a new society, he has to accept its dictates until he has made himself a powerful enough member to change what he doesn 't like. The freshman dink is not a symbol of the regimentation of souls that he asserted it was; it is merely a custom , both acceptable and pleasant to the majority . Therefore , freshman , remember that we are judged more by what we do than by what we say. Wear your freshman customs without trying to put something over on the tribunal or the upper classman before you have tested their virtues.

Willard and her work for prohibition. Miss Willard wasiborn in America and gave her entire life in combat with drink. It was through her influence that the Women 's Christian Temperance Union was organized. In 1913 a jo int committee of the W. C. T. U. and the Anti-Saloon League workers went to Washington and asked for a law against the use of intoxicating drinks. They were not granted an answer to their plea but were told to go to their states and ask for a ballot for the law. If two thirds of the states voted for it , Congress would then be ' willing to grant their wish. "At that time there were nine dry states and by 1919 there were th irty six dry states. As a result we have our Federal Law against the manufacturing, sale or giving away of intoxicating liquor. Professor Albert stated that according to responsible authorities the Prohibition Law with all its shortcomings is the best enforced law in America. All of this Prohibition work is the result of the seed sown by one woman , Francis E. Willard. With the improvements which are being made , comes the desire of all , that tlie college be kept as beautiful as it is being made. Let us all cooperate in this. Just one little pencil mark , one smear on the walls , will alter the appearanc e of an otherwise beautiful room. Ink spilled on the newly-laid floors , will make them look as old as they did before being fixed. Students , give your most hearty cooperation , and our college will stay as beautifu l as it will be when all the improvements are made.

Did he not realize completely the dreams of that boy who lay stretched out under th"e trees in the Italian garden listening to his grandp'apa 's mandolin ? Maurois' Disraeli is the record of a stormy career, a life of vivid contrasts, hopes fulfilled succeeded by crushing defea t s, overwhelming1 acclaim and thwarted ambitions, friendships and animosities, triumphant leadership and coveted honors that came too late to give peace to a tempestuous, storm-ridden spirit . Wintersmoon by Hugh Walpole Winstermoon was the house in all England . . . . with its history and stories and tradition and colour . .. .the country house of generati ons of title/;! families, the soul of ?11 that England stands for. It was to Wintersmoon that Janet Grandison wentherwhen she married Lord life a part of the back Poo'e to m^k^ ground and tradition of the English aris, tCCiTC". Against this background pass many characters and many events : Janet , whose bvp . is all for her sister Rosalind ; Wildhcrn. her husband, and his devotion to the r,">n Jane'1; b^ars him ; Rosalind , beauti ful , young, clever, and a little hard ; her adoring lover and his tragedy ; the aging and trnnricus Duke and Duchess ; and the world of social England which no one knows rnd revrals as Hugh Walpole, in such books as Wintersmoon and the Duchess of Wrexe. The interwpaving and development of these lives makes a novel now dramatic, now fV^p^almT, now charming—and alway s a novel of distinction , power, and permanence. Back of War by Henry Kitti edge Norton This bock connects the living forces of world politics with the springs of war . It gets at the roots of international disputes in a way that makes them understandable. It dissects war and lays bare the forces which must be overcome b3fore lasting peace car. be established. Back of War is of interest not alone to the student of international affairs, it is written for American citizens—the men and women whose decisions have suddenly become the most important factor in international matters — the men and women who have not been able to get beneath the surface and understand the momentous issues they are called upon to decide. Public opinion can not act intelligently and effectively until it knows and understands the facts. Back of War is packed with facts so clearly and understandmgly presented that they make fascinating read ing even for the beginner in world affairs. The author, one of the best known authoraties on international national affairs, offers no propoganda on any issue. The book is rather an effective antidote for all propoganda. The Cave of Naman Within the Land of Somewhere Great There dwell the monsters Gloom and Hate Their home is a cave, a massive hall, Fire and lightning adorn their walls.

There comes a ray of hope from those golden gates above, Down to this winding path that reaches to heaven's height ; It intermingles with the Devil's hateful breath Making life's path dark , yet sometimes bright. .

Mary Gallagher P A T R ON I Z E O U R The Crystal Man (Snow) A jolly old fellow makes his rounds Collecting crystals from all the towns. He is very particular in his choice As every crystal must be shiny and moist. After he has filled his sacks He distributes them on mansions and shacks. He does not care for wealth or fame, By/fc sprinkles his crystals to all the same. He scatters them as evenly and fair And tries to lay them with great care So that they will light up every street , And show strings of crystal at our feet. Lucille Brehm Old Mr. Wind goes sailing by, Head thrown back and pipe pitched high. He whistles and howls the whole winter through Accompanying Mr . Snow and Miss Hail, too. Cheeks puffed out , he blows a fearful blast, Mortals draw their collars up and give a mighty gasp The ageless Mr. Wind looks on in cheerful glee While cold Mr. Dinter bears him company. A broad smile overspread his face His toothless j aw agaping without grace. No mercy is shown in his cold blue eye So old Mr. Wind still continues to sail by. Ethelda Young IMAGININGS The child has a very keen sense of makebelieve. He is constanly hearing and seeing things that are not of this materialistic world. He talks of fairies and goblins and for a time live in the imaginary world quite as much as in our own . As they grow older this faculty is suppressed and crushed out , weighted down under other things all too often. To really sympathize with children , grownu ps must have a measure of this faculty. Teachers need it. To them these long dormant faculties the Freshman art classes under the leadership of Mr. Keller have been writing imaginary pictures which they will illustrate in color. A few of these lovely bits of m ake-believe picked from a cou ple of sections worked are quoted below. I've often wondered how the world Looked to a new-born babe. With things grotesque and small, Surel y he must be frightened at all. When ever yone comes to look at him, I wonder how they appear to him. Some have lar ge noses, no chin, Others eyes, and something over them. Some with hair, some without, Some thin and some stout. As he looks at this throu gh a din of voices harsh and thin I wonder how it all appears to him. • ¦¦ Veronica Kupstas A D V E R T IS E R S LOCKER ROOM NEWSETTE S (Girls) The locker room gang is back in its place. Many familiar faces are missing but we are glad to greet many new. people. The painting of the Locker and Y. W. rooms makes a decided improvement. We are still hoping for tables and chairs. Locker Room girls participated with Dormitory girls in observance of Freshmen Week. We are- sorry to see that some, only a minority though, lacked class spirit. Charlotte Means was elected as the Locker Room representative in the Student Council . Beatrice Bowman was elected as the student representative of the Sophomores of the four ' year group in the Student Council. (D. S.) (Boys) The men of the college who have as their day headquarters in the basement, called the "Men's Locker Room," are at last becoming acclimated to their unbecomingsurroundings. In spite of the handicap of Lurroundings , they are giving a good account of themselves in sports and other aetivities.. Football Our old stand-by "Jap " Fritz is right on the j ob again this year and promises to eliminate many of last years rivals. Another of our best men is "Stub" Pen ningion, who is always working hard to hold down a heavy position on the team. "Red" Creasy a Freshman is showing excellent qualities for the making of a varsity end. Evans, another Frosh, is work ing hard and is setting a good example for other first year men. Jack Fortner is out again and is working hard. "Mack" McKenzie is also giving a good account of himself along with the rest. Last but not lea.'-t is "Lute" Bitler of Mainville, a sturdy linesman who is keeping up his end with the others. Oh ! Yes, we have men in other activities also. The orchestra and glee club have attracted the attention of several . Roy, alias "Beany " Beishline is showing superior ability in glee club work. Undur the direction of Prof. R. E. Clark, it is believed that he will soon be a rival of some of the "Artists". The Phi Gamma Faie Sorority held a very important meeting last Tuesday evening to discuss the events for the coming year. SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA REORGANIZED The College Symphony Orchestra has already had two rehearsals so far this year and under the able leadership of Mr. Fenstermacher , the orchestra expects to give the students some real treats in the way of classical music. The orchestra is growing larger each year and the type of music played is of the concert calibre. Last year the orchestra was organized on a club basis, having officers, a Pres ident, Secretary, Treasurer and Librarian. It is expected that at the next rehearsal, a business meeting will be called and new officers elected for the ensuing year. The Symphony Orchestra has always been one of the biggest and most popular organizations in the school. The orchestra is always called upon to play for the various functions that take place during the IMPROVEMENTS BEING MADE AT COLLEGE Fire Towers Built. At last they have come ! The improvements to the college have been and are being made, and soon our school will look like a different institution. While we were whiling our time away during vacation doing nothing- in particular, some painters, builders and other workers were sent to the college to paint it and build additions to it. Much was done during the summer, but there is still much to be accomplished. Science Hall, during the summer was painted inside and out, a new museum romo was fixed up for biology, the geography room was moved from the fourth to the first floor , and Mr . Hartline , the biology instructor, was given the medical prep, room, besides his own labratory. North Hall was painted inside and ou +, and general improvements were mzch ill around it. Waller Hall's entire fourth floor was painted and new floors were laid However, there is much yet to be done here. The second and third floors need pnmting and flooring, and the lobbies on the three floors must be fixed. Three fire towers are being built and will soon be completed . One leads to Waller Hall , and two lead to Carver Hail. These are fir e addtiions. Furthermore , Dr. Haas is contemplatin g the erection of a new training school on the crmpus. With this innovation will come more space in Noething: Hall, and the day students will be able to be accomedated in a better and more comfortable way. Dr. Haas , the faculty and the student body are all looking forward to the day when these dreams will be a reality, and all we need is hearty cooperation . ^f WOMEN'S STUDENT GOVERNMENT TEA A very enjoyable tea was held by the Women 's Student Government Association for the Freshmen Girls on Sunday, September 16, 1928 from 2 :30 to 4:30 P. M. The guests were received in the lobby by Dr. Ken*, Miss Turner, Margaret Swartz and Loretta Fleming. Here an impromptu program was given through the efforts of Eleanor Zydanowicz at the piano and through the kindness of Mrs. Miller who lent the orthophonic to the committee . Af ter a number of these pleasing selections, tea was served in the inner court. The committee in charge were : Elizabeth H. Williams, Chairman. Muriel Taylor Helen Wheaton Esther Wanble Q school year, as the class plays, banquets, and chapel exercises. For the past two years the orchestra has been under the direction of Mr. Fenstermacher. He has strived to make this orchestra rank among the best orchestras in the Teacher's Colleges of the State. In the past the orchestra has always met for rehearsal in the auditorium. This has proved inconvenient in many ways. Mr. Fenstermacher this year has secured Room 43, Science Hall in which the orchestra may practice! without disturbance from any outside source. It is hoped that the orchestra may have a ver y successful year and give us a good program at their annual Spring Concert. Y. W. C. A. NOTES An especially interesting meeting of the Y. W. C. A. was held Wednesday September 26. Maudrue 0. Connell acted as chairman of the meeting. The meeting was opened by the singing of the old hymn, "O Master Let Me Walk With Thee." The Scripture was the ever new and beautiful Twenty Third Psalm. The Junior-Senior Quartette composed of Jane Williams, Dorothy Haen, Elizabeth Williams, and Muriel Jones accompanied on the piano by Muriel Reese rendered "This Is My Work Today." Mr. Bakeless, the speaker of the evening gave a fine talk on "Christian Character as an Asset in College Life." He said, in part, that it was an easy thing to slump when first being away from home. He warned against loosening up and letting down. "Don't Get in With the Wrong Crowd." He emphasized the selection of right ideals because the froth of college life melts away too quickly to be worth the seeking. We grow only by what we do. It you perservere in keeping your ideals high and fine you make the school better by your presence and you are much benefited yourself. I believe that a fine Christian character is one of the greatest assets you can have for college life . If you measure up you have the confidence and respect of Faculty and Student body. No man or woman can be at his best without a definite fellowship with Christ. If you do not know your Bible you can never be the forceful man or woman you might have been. The Proverb s is the Young People's Book." The meeting closed after the singing of "Softly and Tenderly." FUTURITY AND I Ah! sea of darkness, sea of dread , What lies beyond thy wat'ry bed— Thy windswept, cold, and wat'ry bed ? Is it a land of life and peace Or is it the abode of dead— The dark and gloomy land of dead ? My eyes search out thy sightless depths Where mournful waves .roll on and on— Oh! gray tides rolling on and on! I watch but cannot see a sign That says, even in soundless voice— From out thy depth s no soundless voice— No voice that says, "Sail on 1 Sail on !" No voice of hope that says , "Sail on !" Yet with what hopes did men of yore Sail o'er thy billows wild and high. They sought for wealth, for gold and gems ; I seek but for a lonely isle. They sought for gold and gems of Ind ; I seek but rest for weary head— For weary head head and sadden'd heart. For brain too much o'erwrought in vain I seek a lonely desert isle To find repose from hopeless pain. C. Joachim. P A T R O N I Z E O U R A D V E R T IS E R S r The ^Y"- Hut Freshman Circus The first meeting of the college Y. M. C. Ai -was held in Room; 22, Science Hall on Wednesday evening Sept. 26, 1928, at 7:15 P. M. The meeting was • opened with the singing of songs led by Llewellyn- Edmunds. The scripture was read by Nickolas Jaffin. An address of welcome was given- by the president; Raymond Hodges. The main event of the evening was a debate entitled , "Are We Behaving Like Human Beings?" The " affirmative was represented by Charles Poole and Clarence Ruch. The negative side of the debate was carried by Theodore Davis and Wm. M. Jones. Prof. Koch , the faculty advisor , offered a few interesting suggestions which were well received. > The Y. M. C.

Judging from the turn out and the snappy music the boys played the first time they met it can safely be said that the orchestra will be even better than it was last year. The Maroon and Gold Orchestra , as they will continue to call themselves, expect to play in the Gym at least one night every week during the school year , with the consent of the administration. The personal of the orchestra this year is as follows: Jack Taylor , leader; Arch Reese, trumpet; T. Litweiler , trumpet; Tax Davis, saxaphone; Walter Siesko, saxophone; Sam Kurtz , trombone; James Davis, banjo; Brooke Yeager, drums. «—__«¦___= "The doctor will see you inside ," said the nurse as she helped him on the operating table For Your Next HAIR-CUT— -The Barber Shop — AT THE — Foot of the Hill LE Y ^^^^^^^^ -^^^^^^ XJl ^.!? V The Saxaphone Band led by Mary Lindeman and Marge Conahan led the parade from the auditorium to the gym. Its soothing refrain could be heard throughout theentire building. By the time and harmony it kept, without seeing it you would have thought ft was Paul Whitmans. The selection which ^ pleased the audience most was the "Alma Mater which the band had down to perfection. The Siamese Clowns were exceptionly good. This uni que feature proved to be very entertaining . This act was carried out by Eleanor Dwyer and Katie Astleford. Sarah Donahue gave her best interpretation of Buffalo Bill . This brought forth many laughs from the interested audience. They were clowns but proved they weren 't so foolish when they rendered the benutifu l musical number entitled "Laugh Clown , Laugh". Animals , animals , animals , th at s what we called them , because I' m sure . no one could have named or classified them. They were varied types some of whom we doubt existed at all. Misses Brani gan and Pecora mad e a very striking appearance in the animal trainer costumes. The rope walker proved to be a little nervous in her performance , but we all understood her nervousness , when we thought of the elevated position of the rope and the distance she had to fall in ease of an accident. With the assistance of a few mattresses and pillows Miss Vollrath portrayed the part of the fat lady to perfection. Miss Sonner in the capacity of' announcer did very well. We had peanuts for sale. Our peanut slogan was "Not more than one to a customer. The pink lemonade sold like wild fire. The Kitchen Utensil Band deserves special mention for the stunn ing appearance it made. Its costumes were uniform and they certainly looked chic. Our circus came to an end with the singing of the "Alma Mater " by everyone present.
