BL OO M BE A T S M I LLER S VILLE FOR CHAMPIONSHIP Second Period Spurt Carries Throug h When two teams of first-class athletes appeared upon the floor to do or die for the honor of their Alma Mater on the basketball courts, no one questioned the occasion nor the interest of the game. A championship game carries with it something that takes young and old alike from the pleasures of the book, pipe and friends to become lost in a crowd of excited , cheering enthusiasts , each with a single thought ,—victory for his team. So it was on the eve of the great game on March the ninth , the college gym packed to its doors fairly groaned from the strain and excitement of the championship event. Millersville, the first to appear on the floor went through a fast and splendid exhibition of close shooting under the basket. Unsuccessful shots were few and far between , but the Bloomsburg squad was by no means outdone in preliminary practice as time after time the Maroon and Gold uniforms flashed in the air and a well directed ball left the hands of a Bloomsburg player. When the opening whistle blew , both teams started as from the mark and went into action. The visitors, with Gockley scoring frequently, nosed out a wide margin and held it till the close of the second period grew alarmingly near and the lead was reduced to four points as the team went off the floor between halves. Still maintainin g a lead , the visitors carried their standard high till the approach of the third period intermission , when a string of tallies, uninterrupted by Millersville scoring, totaled eleven points and brought the Maroon and Gold to the front for the first time. The visitors closed in on the scoring and led by one point at the end of the quarters. Again the Bloomsburg boys got under way and gaining the lead managed to hold it till a four-point margin hung on the score-board and the time-keeper 's pistol closed the game, Bloomsburg-38, Millersville-34. Anthracite Arts Association Meets Her e The annual convention of the Anthracite Arts Association will meet here in Science Hall tomorrow , Saturday, November 17, 1928.

Editor 's Note This number is a review of the entire year 's work of the staff. It includes what we consider the best features: news , briefs , editorials , literary contributions , sports, jokes, etc. This issue is in reality a resume of some of the outstanding events of the school year 1928-1929. It will be worth your while to add this edition to your collection of college mementos. THE MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE S. S. Ymca with a cargo of jazzined college students sailed from New York Harbor, December 8, 1928 , for a cruise of the Mediterranean Sea. The different activities aboard ship wene broadcasted all over the world and the following will be a record of them. The ship's orchestr a, which is, by the way, from a small town in Pennsylvania, and known as Alexander's Syncopators, boomed forth with the National Emblem March. On the way out of th e H arbor many di ff erent emotions could be seen on the wharf. Amon g the group could be seen forlorn , unhappy lovers, sad parents and the very happy husbands all prepared to make "Whoopee ". All this was broadcast from station Y. M. C. A. broadcasting the news of the collegiate cruise from the S. S. Ymca. Mr. Saul Gutter, the noted j ournalist broadcast the activities. To the millions of listeners in the outside world came. "This is station Y. M. C. A. broadcasting from the S. S. Ymca, the cruiser bearing the students from the State Teachers College on a Mediterranean tour. Among the notables on board were Mr. and Mrs. Francis 8. Haas , Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Koch and Miss Marguerite Kehr". "We are now passing the Statue of Liberty and I will let you listen in on "The Star Spangled Banner " which the S. S. Ymca band is now playing." Following that Mr. Gutter describes the setting. "The orchestra is on the port side of the deck and is playing a march "Sailing, Sailing Over the Dark Blue Sea." The deck has a canopy of green and yellow streamers which come near the center of the whole length of the deck. Between these an artificial mast has been raised , extending above the smokestacks. Up to the top of the mast there are two rows of imitation ladders made of white and blue crepe paper, and the ventilators are covered with white and blue crepe paper. At one end of the deck there is a light that has been converted into an orange moon on a blue ba ckground. The railings are covered with blue crepe paper with white dabs of paint to bring out the roughness of the sea. " Nothing eventf ul could be picked up for several days from the Ymca , t hen af t er about four da y s out t here came to us, "This is stacontinued on page 4 Bloomsbur g Wins Dual Debate from Mansfield * Jud ges Unanimous in Decisions On Tuesday, April 9, Mansfield debated Bloomsburg on the topic, Resolved: The present jury system should be abolished. The affirmatives of both teams debated at their respective schools, and the negative teams traveled. Bloomsburg won both debates by a unanimous vote of the judges. Bloomsburg 's affirmative tea m consisted of: Martha Laird , rebuttal ; William Weaver , first speaker and Lois DeMott , second speaker. They put forth the following points against the present jur y system: 1. There is at present an evolution at work which is abolishing the jur y system and is establishing in its place a system of trial by judge s. 2.- The jury system is inefficient, 3. The most capable citizens are exempt from jury service. 4. Justice is being thwarted in making up of the jur y panel. 5. The theory of the petty jury system is a failure. 6. Justice can be administered by a j udicial tribunal of five capable citizens. 7. This system will overcome the fallacies in the theory of the petty j ury system and will free the jud ge from the duty of deciding on admissibility of evidence to be brought before an ignorant jury . In conclusion they presented a plan of jury trial to take the place of the present one. Five men , trained in the law and of the highest intelligence , were to be chosen to serve for ten years as juniors , and their ages were not to be under thirty years eld. The negative team of Bloomsburg, consisting of: Clarence Wolever , rebuttal; Jack Fortner , firs t speaker and Grace Calendar , second speaker , submitted the following points in favor of the present jury system: 1. Time has shown the necessity of a jur y system. 2. Present jur y system is not rendering as effective j ustice as it could. 3. It is the best way to administer justice. 4. Justice could be more effectively rendered if many of the hindrances and evils were removed, Local Hitch Hikers Meet with Disaster Three prominent characters of North Hal l namely "Dinny " Thomas , "Heck" Mower and "Bud " Morgan will think twice before they hitch hike to Stroudsburg again. On Saturday last , quite uneventfully, they left Bloomsburg bound for Stroudsburg to see the basket ball team play there. Everything went well until they got to Moscow (U. S. A.) which is a few miles from their intended destination. Unable to get a ride by machine they quite innocently decided to ride at the expense of the Central Railroad of New J ersey which they did by hopping a passing freight. The freight reached Stroudsburg but went through so fast that they remarked , "That' s Stroudsburg, isn't it" . To make ma tt er s wor se t h e t rain wen t on and on and on—all the way to Newark , N. J .

Didn't it m ake us fe el good when we saw that West Chester letter in print? Whether we win or lose, th e thing that "goes over big" is good sportsmanship. Good sportsmanship always excels. Not only in foot ball, hockey, basket ball , and other games can good sportsmanship be applied but to all phases of our lives because a good sportsman is a good loser and a gracious winner. If we are the loser and have lost our point , but show good sportsmanship, we have still won the good word and kindly feeling from someone else. If we have won the battle and have shown good sportsmanship it adds to our already accomplished laurels. Therefore, the good sportsman is never a loser. "To the victor belongs the spoils," but to the good sportsman there are no spoils.

Further questioning would undoubtedly develope the fact that most of their ideas of travel would be vague and hazy . They would like to travel—where? Anywhere it would seem , just to get away from the humdrum of existence and be "free ". ' Well , what is freedom? How many of us know when we have it or when we do not have it? Seemingly, if superficial definitions are accepted , freedom is a something which one must have before anything worth-while can be accomplished. "If I were only free , what might I not do?" Which is tommyrot! For the truth of the matter is that the greatest of human achievements have been accomplished by those fettered with mental and physical handicaps and adverse circumstances. Carlyle was afflicted with domestic discord and his own miserable disposition. Beethoven composed the greatest of his sy m phonies when stone-deaf. Oscar Wilde wrote the most powerful of his poems, "The Ballad of Reading Gaol", while hehind prison bars. Robert Stevenson did his best work when dying of tuberculosis. Edison deaf , Milton blind , Burns uneducated , Franklin self-taught —all intellectual giants it is true—but yet not "free " in the sense that so many of us whine about. And so we do but delude ourselves when idly dreaming of what we could or would do "if we were only free ". Freedom , if anything, is a sta te of mind , —a mind that keeps itself free from discontent , that will not allow itself to be defeated by untoward circumstances. Is it not true that when we desire most to "get away "from everything and everyone , we are but fatuously endeavoring to get away from ourselves? —and that is impossibl e. For whether our mental flight ascends to the heights of heaven or descends to the depths of hell , we cannot escape ourselves. The inescapable truth remains that when we realize we are not all that we hoped to be, when we feel that we are not enjoying the pleasures that we believe should be ours, it is not because we have not been "free " to do so. It is because we have been false to our ideals, unworthy of our inspirations , and inferior to our dreams. Who started wearing red neckties first , Prof. Fisher, Prof. Reams or Dr. Haas? Cleaning, Pressing Dyeing, Repairing We are ot that "species known as parasites. " We could write a whole book on ourselves , "but what is the use?" We 're too lazy. According to a recent editorial a community can be divided into three classes. We are hated too greatly to be members of the first group; too lazy and have too much pride to be members of the second group; therefore we are of that "species known as parasites. " The social leaders in this community do us our greatest favors. We make them leaders for our own purposes. They hold their "high and exalted" positions because we know we could not. In the first place , we are "too lazy; " secondly, we are not popular enough nor important enough , in the eyes of our fellow stude-nts. This is sufficient proof to show how we "parasites " need our aristrocracv. We come to the communities ' middle class, the "plodders. " The class "who ," as the editoria l stated "work alone in their individual ways." Plodders are not individual. Had they any individualit y they would not have to "plod" . They grind away for two hours on something other people can understand in one. They use everyone else 's thoughts but they never have any of their own. We "parasites"are certainly indebted to this class. This class blindly follow , and we dictate to them what our "aristocracy " shall be. They gladly elect. These people never question a thing and make wonderful students! We come now to our own group , the "scum '' of the community, composed of d reamers , schemers and "wise-crackers". We take our "bawling-outs " for our inferior work here as a matter of course. These come mostly from our parents. While we are waiting for other members of the community to get the "satisfactory slant" in their subj ects , we are studying Havelock Ellis , George Dorsey and other prominent writers. In class discussion we usually take the leading parts. Here we can bring out our ideas , but here we are again suppressed. Why? Because the aristocracy and the "plodders" find difficulty in keeping up with our minds. Leaders in many cases are being developed from the inferior classes, only because these classes show what little they do know. Ours is concealed , therefore, we are misunderstood and classed ass that "species known as parasites" Moyer Bros., Inc.

Mary Laird From a Dormitory Window The front campus now presents a beautiful view. The stately trees adorning the walks gently rustle their new robes of russet, brown and gold, while a few lowlier sisters, still clad in the garb of summer, stand wistfully apart. Autumn has come and has transformed the campus from the glowing beauty of summer to its own softer and subtler hues. The dome of Carver Hall, standing forth in beauty and dignity, holds the eye. Far distant mountains loom upward against the horizon and fill the watcher with a vague restlessness, a spirit of Wanderlust. At dusk, the campus itself, smooth and velvety and covered with an avalanch e of leaves, becomes a veritable fairyland. Hobgoblins and sprite, pixies and e^ves lurk under th j Ieave3 and , when the eye of mortal watches not, careen madly and sway with the utmost grace before the dais of the elusive Queen Mab. Virginia Cruikshank—Freshman Modern Song of Success Announcement-Senior Class Banquet--1929 Succeed , succeed, hoard up great wealth , Amass great honor for yourself By chivalry set not great store, For what you have is what you are; Fool though you be or idiot too, With open arms they welcome you When they but know that you are lord And by the tons your gold is stored. So trample, trample , push and slay Them who but dare to block your way, For they who once kicked you in dust Will kiss your feet once know they must; Although your road is rough and hard Be you led on by your reward. As good as is to be the king in cloth of gold , So bitter 'tis to be cast down—out in the cold Caught fast in grey cloaked famine 's hungry clutch But bah! away with such You must succeed! And when you stand with brandished sword Atop your golden gleaming horde Then will the haughty make retreat At last to grovel at your feet , So carry on , let none impede The Senior Class Banquet will be held at 7:00 P. M. on May 16, 1929 in the College Dining Room. It will be formal for men and women. A class dues receipt must be presented at the door by all persons who attend. If you have lost your receipt, a duplicate may be obtained from the person to whom your dues were paid. To conserve space all tables at the banquet will be arranged for eight people. It will be necessary for every one to plan to attend in groups of eight. This should be done as soon as possible so no one will be separated from his friends at dinner. The committee will welcome any suggestions that may be used for the program that evening. If you have any such suggestions, please hand them to Mary Laird, Florence Drummond, or Lawrence Creasy. Banquet Committee You must sueeeed! Haying Season Saul Gutter Mrs. Brown was canning raspberries when her husband came into the kitchen. "Mary " he said , "get me a glass of water." "Can 't you see I' m busy? " she snapped. "Get it yourself. " "I didn 't mean to— "h e began timidly. "You never mean too, but you always do. Just when I get this can of berries all ready to seal , you come in and ask me to jump all over the place to get you a glass of water. " "Where is a glass?" "Just where they have been for the past fifteen years, of course, and they are the same glasses my mother gave me when we were married , too. We've never been able to afford any new ones since. We can 't afford anythin g for the house—the dishes are the same , this kitchen has not had a new thing since we were married except a lea-pot—and that , the spout had fallen off of. No wonder the old stove won 't burn! But you 've got harro ws, seeders, plows and tractors for yourself." "It's so hot on the hay today, Mary— " "And hotter here I'll bet. This kitchen is like a bake-oven and here I roast and swelter and bake— " Mr. Brown had fallen in a heap on the floor. Mar y flew to him , dr opp ing her can of raspberries on the table. It turned over on its side and the sticky red juice oozed o v er t h e zin c t able and tri ckled t o t he fl oo r unnoticed. "JIM , wha t's wrong? You know I didn 't mean i t, Jim!" Jim roused himself and looked at her dazedly. "I t was SO hot ," he said , "get me a drink of water." Inaugural Proceedings Received in Chapel On Monda y , Mar ch 4 , inaugura t i on dn y , a delightful surprise awaite d us in the form of a beautifu l radio. Over thiB radio we were privileged , during our cha pe l period and m long after as we wished to hear the inaugur al proceedin gs at Washington . Th e radio was loan ed to us by the Bloomsburg Fur * ni ture Co., and t h e st uden t s of t he s chool are cer t ainl y gra tefu l (o all who help ed them to hear an event which always is enjoyed and appreciated , namely, Inaugura * tion Day. Big Bonfire Held on Friday Night Real College Spirit Shown The "Spiri t " of B. S. T. C." bloomed forth in all its splendor Friday night on Mount Olympus when the students held a mass meeting previous to the West Chester game Saturday afternoon . The whole student body gathered around a huge bonfire prepared by the Freshmen boys and yelled cheer after ch eer under th e leadership of "Sh orty " Edmunds. When the meeting was well under way the cheer leaders turned it over to "Prof." Nelson , who did sort of a "Joe " Humphries in calling upon the different speakers. The first person he called upon was Coach Booth. The Coach told what he expected from the team and said that he knew the boys would give all they had. He sure knew what he was talking abont. Dean Koch, was called upon next. It seems when he and "Prof. " Nelson get together their conversation, (no, not conversation , but argument) is golf. After he had vented his personl feelings he told some things of real value. Captain Kraynack was called upon next and he received a long cheer. He said he knew the boys would do their best to win the* game. After him came Assistant Coach "Vid" Jones, who praised the team on their faithfulness during practice and predicted 'they would be just as faithful in the game. We all know they were. Deans Kehr and Sutliff, Professor Shortess, Miss McCammon, and other members of the facul ty gave short talks and seemed very much enthused at the spirit the students were showing this year. The Freshman class are showing wonderful co-operation for newcomers and deserve very much credit for their share in making it a success. The boys had a bonfire which would give credit to any "pep " meeting anywhere. The girls of the class made a wonderful impression on everybody by their march to the field and also by their cheering. This demonstration of spirit was a great thing for our institution and even though the boys lost the game it should not be thought that the mass meeting did not do any good. It made them feel as though they were being appreciated and it developed something in them to make them fight. This was the Bloomsburg "Spirit". Lets have more of it. P A T R O N I Z E O U R A D V E R T I S ER S THE MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE continued from page 1 tion Y. M. C. A. broadcasting the S. S. Ymca. A stowaway who gives his name as "Hank" Warman has been found on board. He claims he is "beating his way" to Europe to his wealthy aunt to obtain money for voice culture. Stowaways must earn their passage so Mr. Warman will sing for you two popular numbers of th e day "Girl of My Dreams," and "All for You." Mr. Warman has easily sung his way and is now being flooded with vaudeville offers. " A few days later a stoker was discovered who was supposed to have been from England and was working his way back home. He is a cast-off vaudeville singer who gives his name as Mr. Armand Keller. His voice will not p ermit him to stoke coal, and to prove it to you, "listeners in " we will have him sing two popular ballads. The first is a theme song taken from that popular "talki e," "Dancing Daughters," and entitl ed, "I Loved You Now as I Loved You Then " and the other is called "Doin ' the Raccoon." Mr. K eller for his second number has don n ed a raccoon coat, derby hat, and is bearing a cane. Quite the thing on the American campus, old deah !" Nothing of importance was heard from the student shi p for a few days when suddenly while listening to the Ymca orchestra which was playing dance music, two loud reports were heard through the speaker in our homes. The ever resouceful Gutter was on the air. "The ship has been torpedoed!" Everyone will retire to their staterooms until repairs have been made by the crew. Don't worry th er e is no dang er aboard shi p, whatever. By the way. I forgot to mention about the crew. I've made many trips across the ocean but I don't believe I ever saw such a resourceful crew. This crew is made up of Captain Ruch ; Bob Dew and Jack Taylor, First and Second mates; "Chubb" Poole, steward and Eddie Jenkins, cabin boy. The crew can not only man a ship which is shown by the way they have handled this social situation , but they can also do artistic work which has shown up on the deck. They are certainly to be commended for the success of the whole cruise. " The cruise was by this time on its return trip and Mr. Gutter left us listen in on an airplane which was passing over the ship. The plane could not be seen because of the dense fog. A message was sent to the ship and they replied that it was De Mosquito , the noted Italian aviator , who was flying to Dunedon , New Zealand to join the Byrd expedition to the South pole. That was the last notable thing that happened on the return trip. The collegians as usual had lost the thrill and were already making plans for something else. Something else is coming. In the course of a few months the Y. M. C. A. of the college will run another novelty dance which will be different and if no t b ett er t han "The Crui se" it will be j ust as good. "This is station Y. M. C. A. broadca sting from the S. S. Ymca , now in New York Harbor. The situation seems reversed from when we left here. On the wharf now there are happ y reunions of lovers and par ents , and unha ppy reunions of husbands and wives. Mr. Saul Gutter now announces that thi s is station Y. M. C. A. signing off, SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA HOLD AUDIENCE SPELL-BOU ND Ethel Leginska Great Leader What an array of instruments greeted our eyes when we gathered on Wednesday night , November 7th , to hear the Boston Women 's Symphony Orchestra! How Miss Ethel Leginska could lead! She held the audience spellbound for the entire two hours of performance , for it certainly was more quiet than it generally is. The following is the program: Glinke-Overature , "Russian and Ludmilla. " Beethoven-Symphony No. 5, opus 57, (a) Allegro, con brio; (b) Andante con moto; (c) Allegro (Scherzo); (d) AUegro Maestoso , Prestro; Liszt-Hungarian Fantaste for Piano and Orchestra; Rimsky-Korsakoff , Dance of the Clowns, from the opera "The Snow Maiden; " Wagner-Overture "Rienzi. " An encore was called for and the orchestra rendered that very beautiful selection "Cavalleria Rusticana. " * The orchestra has left in the minds of the people of Bloomsburg a wonderful memory and one they will not soon forget. Music like that which was played by those fine women musicians will live on and uplift one from the dull monotony of life to the beautiful realm of pure and wholesome enjoy ment and pleasure. Fres hman Circus The Sazaphone Band led by Mary Lindemu th and Marg e Cona h an led the par ade from the auditorium to the gym. Its soothing refrain could be heard throughout the entire building. By the time and harmony it kept you would have thought it 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 unique feature proved to be very entertaining. This act was carried out by Eleanor Dwyer and Katie Astleford. Sarah Donahue gave her best interpetation 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 beautiful musical number entitled "Laugh Clown, Laugh ". Animals , animal s, animals , that 's what we called them , because I' m sure no one could have named or classified them , They were varied types some of which we doubt existed at all. Misses Branigan and Pecora made a ver y strikin g app earance 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 thou ght of the elevated position of th e rope and the distance she had to fall in case 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 anno uncer did ver y 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 stunni ng appearance it mad e. I t s cost umes were un iform an d t hey cer t ainl y looked chic. O ur circus came t o an end wi t h t he sin gin g of t he "Alma Mater " by everyone presen t .

She said it was very difficult to find a subject that would not be too broad for chapel time; so she finally had chosen one featur e from each country. The first was from Edinburgh, Scotland. At this place, she saw the graduation exercises of the University of Edinburgh. They were different in many ways from an American commencement, especially in that they were a time of rejoicing and fun , instead of a solemn and di gni fied performance. At London, Engl and , she went to see Parliament. From her description , one could almost picture the House of Lords and the House of Commons. Dr. Kehr was very fortunate in being able to witness a meeting of the House of Commons, through knowing a member ot that body. However, one very amu sing incident , in her eyes, at least , occured. At four o'clock t he meeting adjourned in order to have tea. England certainly likes her tea. In Paris, France, Dr. Kehr, said is the great cathedral of Notre Dame. She described the impressions she got on first seein g it, and they certainly seemed real to us. From one of the towers of Notre Dame, a very good view of part of the city can be seen such as; the square, the Arc de Trioimphe, the Pantheon, the Church of the Sacred Heart and the parks and gardens of the Champs Elysees. To Switzerland we were next taken. The place described to us was Interlaken , one of the beauty spots of Switzerland. Beginning here, a railroad runs through a mountain to Italy, the greatest underground railroad in the world. Dr. Kehr also spoke of climbing a mountain , and her experiences and feelings. It was made very realistic. The exercises were thoroughly enjoy ed by all, for they made everyone feel as though he had taken the trip. Morgan: Did you hear the new "Charlie Horse" song? Yock: Nope , how goes it? Morgan; Ki nk for a day. Senior: I don 't like the pictures. They don 't do me justice. Mr. Phil lips : Justice? Lady, what you want is mercy.

A. had charg e of the chapel period on February 18, and presented as its speaker . Rev. Owen Jones, of Scranton. His talk concerned "prayer. " He stressed the fact that everyone is born with a natural tendency to pray, and that , in time of distress everyone prays, for in prayer people find a calming, peacefu l rest. Throughout his entire, discourse , he gave examples of people who had scoffed at prayer and then had found a quiet rest in it, and also of people who were great leaders and who believed fervently in prayer.

The Pajaraa Parade-Great Night for "Frosh" PHILLIPS For — PHOTOGRAPHS Printing and Developin g Extract from a Freshman 's Diary, September 12, 1928 "Had Freshman initiation tonight and also "some time. " We held a pajam a parade and took a "ducking. " Wow! How nice. But it all happen s in a life-time. On that memorable evening, about forty green Freshmen were assembled in the lobby of North Hall. They were bellowing an appropriate ballad , written for the occasion and entitled "How Green I Am. " 'Shorty ' Edmunds directed the singing and with the exception of several interruptions from 'Frosh' Stier and 'Frosh' Taylor , it was fairly well done , (if we also exclude the voices of the fr osh.) A certain 'Frosh Fetter had a sudden craving to see a girl friend at Waller Hall and Chief Marshal Kraynack , led his "pajama 'd ones down to the court at long porch , beneath the windows of the girls dormitory like so many "Romeos. " But alas! the Juliets gave the would-be Valentinos ' a cool reception in the form of a deluge of water , (had it only been flower pots.) Chief Marshal Kraynack , who , because of his well chosen armor , came unscratche d through the deluge , then led his troupe of actors to the center of the ceremonial grounds and the program was opened by "Frosh" Stier and "Frosh" McFadden praying to Allah. They thanked Allah for the blessing they had just received from the heavens and prayed for more. They got it. Bloomsburg , Pa.
