The book , "Wonder-World Tales,' con tain s select ions fro m mo re thar 1,000 original stories and illustrations made by the children of the Benjamir Franklin Training School. The subjects have to do with the imaginarj phase of child life. It is Mr. Keller's idea t o prod u ce a book which in it seb •will be a work of art and which will be on the level of the elementary school child. It should be an outstanding and original contribution to juvenile" literature. Mr. Keller left for New York City Thursday to m a k e preliminary arrangements for its publication. Bennet Cerf , the publisher and the husband of Sylvia Sydney, is a person al friend of Mr. Keller and attended Columbia University with him. R andom.

The book will probably make its initial appearance in September. r r JUNIORS "REHEARSE" OBITER NOMINATIONS Also Vote Down Trad itional Pract ice Of Giving Seniors Prom Programs Juniors "rehearsed" their nomination program for Obiter officials at their meeting in the auditorium last week , but they didn 't know it was just a practice session until a few hours later when a hard and set rule stating the definite date on the calendar for such nominations was called to the attention of the class, As a result 1 re-nominations will be necessary when the class meets to nominate class officers for next year. Despite the fact that the nominations were stricken from the books the meeting did settle one point in the class program. An age-old tradition among juniors that seniors are presented with free programs to the Junior Prom was broken , and the 1936 seniors will not be given programs. JUNIOR CHAMBER COMMERCE IN CHAPEL PRO GRAM TODAY Tho chapol program for this morn« Ing was in charge of the Jr. Chamber of Commerce a n d consisted of speeches and a typewriting demonstration. Robert Abbott spoke about the Commercial Contest which will bo staged hero on May 1 and 2, tracing its history and explaining its operation. David Mayor, tho other speakor on the program , talked about the function and activities of tho local Jr. Chamber of Commerce. Tho foatu ro of tho program this AUDITORIUM TAKES ON SHAKESPEAREAN GARB FOR DRAMA PRODUCTION TONIGHT Mary Helen Mears COLLEGE JUNIOR WINS "GOOD-WILL CONTEST" Mary Helen Mears Will Go To Pac ific Northwest In Winnin g Trip Tonight the stage of the local auditorium will take the simp le fo rm of the stage of an early E liz abethan theater when a cast of students will present Shakespeare's immortal comedy, "Twelfth Night," or "What You Will." The play will be a Bloomsburg Players production under the direction of Miss Alice Johnston. Shakespearean style in presentation will be used as much as the local st age will permi t, and while the st age of Shakespeare 's day was divided into sections in order to facilitate present ation , Miss Johnston has put the apron of the College stage into good use, enabling the cast to act all street scenes from that section. In ordinary dramas the apron is not used. Shakespearean Stage-Set In keeping with the drama of the Elizabethan theater the scenery and stage set will be reduced to its barest simplicity, background to be eliminated entirely. Those parts of the stage set which will .be used were carefully fashioned after those used in professional production. Costumes have been rented from the Hooke r, Howe Costume Company of Haverhill , Massachusettes, one of the best st age outfit t er companies in the country. The company, in a letter to Miss Johnston, stated . that they have sent their very best Shakespearean costumes. The Story Incidental music for the drama is under the direction of Prof. H. P. Fenstem aker, while all singing is under the supervision of Miss Harriet Moore. The following is a synopsis of th e st ory: M ary Helen M ears , junior at the College, is the happiest girl on the ca m pus at the presen t t ime, having won one of the two Good Will Tours offered by the Morning Press and the merchants of Bloomsburg in a unique contest which ended last Monday evening. The result s, announced at a very late hour Monday night, showed that Miss Mears jumped from third position into first to win with tto largest number of votes and , as a result, giving her choice of a trip to Yellowstone Park or to the Pacific Northwest. She selected the trip to the Pacific Northwest. The contest was operated in a cooperative manner, customers in the business places of those merchants taking part getting so many votes per unit of money. The votes were then cast for any of the candidates listed. The winner of the out-of-town award was Dorothy Warhurst, Catawissa girl who is well-known on the local campus. She will go t o Yellowatone National Park. "I want to thank all the people from tho College who helped me win this contest," Miss Mears told a Maroon and Gold reporter. "Everyone of those votes counted toward s my winning the trip." Tho following is a list of the toprating four in local competition : First—Mary Helen Moars, winner of a trip. Second—Marie Mauror, winner of $25.00. Third—Josephine Tahlor, winner of $25.00. Fourth—Dorothy Hai'voy winner of IjllO.OO, Sharing in the extensive relief for flood sufferers during the recent flood in eastern Pennsylvania the Bloomsburg State Teachers College mustered its forces on March 20 and within seven hours collected $370.15 as its early contribution to the Red Cross funds. The grand total at the present time, Including all amounts that were turn ed in late, is $395.15, according to announcement from Prof. Harvey Andruss yesterday. During a brief meeting on Friday, March 20, the motion was passed to collect two dollars from each club organization , five dollars from each class, and twenty-five cents from each student. The faculty helped swell the total by large donations. Brief talks, in which tho need for immediate action wus stressed , were given by Dr. Francis B. Haas, who proposed the campaign , Prof. Andruss, chairman of tho Bloomsbu rg Chapter of tho Red Cross, and William Morgan , president of tho Community Government Association. morning was a typing demonstration given by a group of Bloomsburg: High School pupils under tho direction of Wesloy Knorr, an alumnus of the Colloge and former member of the Jr, Chamber of Commerce.

She takes service with a Duke of the country and assumes the name, Caeserio. The Duke is in love with the Countess Olivia , who scorns his suit. Viola is sent as a media tor between the two with the result that Olivia falls in love with her, believing her to be a boy. Complications follow, added to by the appearance of Sebastian , who had been rescued and whom everyone, including Olivia , believes t o be Viola or Caeserio.

Mr. Fenstemaker has complete charge of the editorial end of the publication, having been appointed to the position upon his arrival at the College in 1926. Mrs. F. H. Jenkins, '75, is the business manager. Founded in 1894 The Quarterly was first edited in 1894 as the Bloomsburg State Normal School Quarterly. Professor Joseph H. Dennis, instructor of •Latin and au thor of the Alma Mat er, was the committee chairman. The booklet was published continuously until 1920 with expenses paid by the school. It was then dropped and was not resumed until 1926 when the Alumni Association voted to finance the project from the annual dues. The original purpose was to strengthen the bonds between graduates and their College. Today the aim is t o build up membership in the Alumni Association with the view of adding $500 per year to the fund for student loans.

VOLUNTARY FLOOD RELIEF The reaction of college and univert o general app eals for relief during recent flood conditions throughout the East deserves editorial commendation by all papers affiliated in any manner with those institutions. Bloomsburg 's r eact ion , a voluntary campaign involving every organization on the campus as well as every student and member of the faculty, resulted in a total cash contribution of almost four-hundred dollars. It represents what is probably the greatest single contribution of its kind in the local relief area. So willingl y did the students of Bloomsburg offer aid to the efTorts of the National Red Cross—so voluntary did their assistance com(!—that the term "campaign " hardly does justice to the aid given by the institution. sity studen ts ALUMNI ASSOCIATION A news story on page one of this issue of the Maroon and Gold states that a thousand copies of the second issue of the Alumni Quarterly for this year will be sent out to former students of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College soon, The territory covered comprises all forty-eight States in this country and several foreign countries. This represents an unusually wide distribution so far as coverage and distance are concerned. But what about the distribution so far as total number of alumni and former students are concerned ? Records indicate there are over eight thousand persons who have graduated from Bloomsburg, over seven thousand of whom are now known to bo living somewhere on the face of the earth . In othor words, less than onosnventh of tho alumni will roceive copies of tho Alumni Quartorl y this mont h, Those figures would indicate that Bloomsburg 's growth , its introduction to tho world of oducatlon , is dependent upon tho thousand who have boon fortunate onough to see tho value Published j pst recently in America and abroad , E.

Twitchell, University of California neuropsychiatrist. munism," is exciting wide-spread interest among young people and amon g older people who feel tha t a change must come in the way of every-day living throughout the world. Jones, a famous figure in missions, contrasts Christ's social plan with that of Communists of to-day, and presents his conclusions in such a way that anyone who dares to read this book with thoughtfulness cannot help being influenced by it. He tells us that Christ did not destroy all that was old, but gave newness of content to old forms. The Communists have attempted to destroy everything that came under the Old Regime. Christ would not fit into society as it is now;—radical change in the direction of human equality and sharing rights must come first. "We do not believe la etetrial principles of morality and we will oppose this deception; " says Lenin. Communism removes the outer burdens but leaves the inner burdens untouched. These who are "physically disinherited" will be aided by Russia 's plan of free hospital service. Half of the general hospitals of the United Sta t es are in the hands of religious bodies , showing that Christianity is interested in physical wants as well. "It is not the will of God that people should die young or suffe r from diseases , but the will ol Society," says Jones. And we must admit the truth in the statement.

Better-looking Teachers One of the most talked-about developments at the schoolmen's week meeting at the University of Pennsylvania last week was a rather interesting statement by Roland L. Eaton , fourth class school director at Swarthmore, who made a plea for better looking teachers, claiming that he "could not blame some children for not wanting to go to school." "There is no reason ," he continued , "why a teacher should not be good to look at, and I think we have a right to look at the physical characteristics as well as the cultural side of the applicant." The Swarthmore director urged that more selective methods be adopted in employing teachers and attacked the system of pigeon-holing instructors merely according to the number of years of service.

These ca gers, by their ou t st anding play on the wooden playground , have ¦won for themselves the admiration of their Bloomsburg opponents. The spor t s wri t ers of the M aroon and Gold along with members of the . squad picked two players each from East Stroudsburg and Indiana and one man from Millersville. All judging was done on a basis of performance against the Maroon and Gold combination. The team: Forwards—Koche, East Stroudsburg, and Woodring, Indiana. Center—Marconi, East Stroudsburg. Guards—Bishop, M illersville, and McDowell, Indiana. Honorable mention was given Eoach of Susquehanna; Fismanoff, of Ithaca; E aron , Lock Haven; and Schect er, Stroudsburg. Tenn is Courts Are Used For First Time Early This Week With the warm sun beating down on the tennis cour t s for several days and drying them to the extent that they were fitted for use, the lines were marked off on the courts for the first time this Spring and students limbered up ali day Monday. M any studen t s walked on the courts with a determination to show enough tennis in themselves for possible varsity consideration. Members of the varsity from last year were among those to appear on the courts this week. They had been working out in the gymnasium for some time and welcomed the opportunity to get outside for practice. SUSQUEHANNA NINE TO DEPEND ON HURLERS Preliminary reports from the baseball camp of the Susquehanna nine indicate Bloomsburg 's fast-stepping team will have to increase its pace or at least maintain the pace set in 1935 if it is to finish this season in as good form as last year. Move Outdoors Amos Alonzo Stagg Jr., actfng •coach of the team until the arrival of Steve Martinec , who will report soon to take over the team , moved his baseball prospects outdoors for practice during the past week. The Crusaders list twelve games on their card for this Spring, including contests with Albright, Gettysburg, Moravian, Bucknell, Elizabethtown, and Lebanon Valley. Bloomsburg meets them at Selinsgrove, April 25, and they come here for a return game, May 23. Depend On Hurlcrs Susquehanna 's squad , according to the sports e ditor of the university paper, will not be overstocked with veterans, but are expected to weld •together Into a formidable club around Captain Yaros , of MIddletown, and Ken Badger, of MIddleburg, two veteran twlrlors. Baseball candidates move up to the new recreation field this week. They "had boon practising in tho gym and on the town diamond.

Weather permitting, com peti tion will begin with the pole vault, shot put, 100 ya rd dash , mile run , and the 220 yard low hurdles. Other events listed for this afternoon on the original schedule but which will probably not be run off until Monday, in clu de the discus throw, high jump, 22 0 yard dash , half m ile , and the high hurdles. Vershinski took first place in the discus throw last year, heaving the platter a distance of 122 feet, 2 inches. The high jump last year was won by Blass, big sopho m ore who, as present captain of the track team, can be expected to figure in more than one way in the meet again this year. His jump was recorded at 5 feet, 5 inches. Winners of the other events listed for this afternoon , in the meet last year, include Blass in the 220, and Blass again in the high hurdles. Blass, Big Gun Altogether Blass took first place In six events and finished second in two, a record which will probably withstand any pressure placed on it this year or any year. Tho running broad jump, javelin throw, 440 yard run , two mile run, and two lap relay will conclude the meet noxt Monday. Participants representing 1 the seniors this year are Cohon, who did the polo vaulting and some of the high jumping In Intercollegiate meets during the past threo years; Merlcle, who should show up well for his class in field ovonts; and Kosslor, who Is enterod in the discus and javelin.

CALIFORNIA PAPER PUNS ALL-STATE GAGE TEAM Herman Preseren, sports editor of the "Hammer and Tongs " of California State Teachers College, is planning to pool selections for an AllSfcate cage team. Selections being pooled are taken from the all-opponent teams from each individual teachers college. Two Bloomsburg opponents made the first team picked at the California institution as its all-opponent five. Woodring, of Indiana , was named in a forward position, while Bishop, of Millersville, made a guard position. Others named on the team included players form Slippery Rock and Fairmont.

Of these thirteen only three , Russ Stoudt, Claude Heffner, and Iggy Purnell, will graduate after next season. **? Pernet, one of Bloomsburg 's all-opponent ends last season on the gridiron , has been reele ct ed captain of the Red Devil eleven for next year. The election of the rangy end this year after he had served a year as captain reflects his popularity at Shippcnaburg. *** Dickinson College will retain its old name of "Red Devils " and drop the recently adopted one, "Colonials. " The action came as a result of a recent protest by Dickinson students against the new name. Maybe Shippensburg had better continue their plans to adopt a characteristic name for their athletes after all. **?

History of Tennis J This is the first of a series of articles dealing with the history of tennis. (Rewritten from Berwick Enterprise) The exact origin of the interna t ionally famou s game of t en nis has n ever been tr aced , although a hund red an d one hist orians have delved in t o all sort s of r ecords, inculding fossil remains, in search of an answer. By a p r ocess of eli min at ion an d weighing of historical evidence gather ed, the con clu sion has com e that tennis, as we know it, did n't begin until about the twelfth century in France, and that it probably was the adoption by France of handball, as played in Ireland with paddles, and then with racquets substituting for the palm of the hand. It has ben customary for most investigators to jump to the conclusion £hat any game was tennis provided it was played with a ball and stick and was not on horseback. But such investigators ignore our other popular sports of golf, hockey, and others which were in existence at the same time. One expert even went so far as to declare that the game, undoubtedly polo, played in comparatively modern France, was "tennis on horseUn/il, » GOAL TAKES GLASS " A'V TITLE IN US. TOURNEY Shenandoah , Final Victim As Swoyersville And Pulaski Win Other Classes Coal Township, called by local sports writers the "will o' the wisp" of the Keystone League because of their .flashy style this season, carried off the Class A title in the fif t eenth annual High School Basketball Tournament by drubbing Shenandoah, 4528, in the finals last Saturday night. Swoyersville won the Class B title in downing a scrappy W arrior R un outfit, while Pulaski, a feeder school to Coal Township, t ook Nuremberg into camp to run off with the Class G honors. Play during the first half of the main event last Saturday was rather close, Coal holding a narrow 13-12 margin when the teams went into the rest period. But the D e m o n s , coached by Jerry Fitzpatrick, former Bloomsburg player, played a fast and accurate game of basketball beginning with the third quarter and drew away to a 45-28 victory and the third win in Class A compet ition at the Colleire. ¦Kalinoski High Scorer K alinoski , captain of the Coal aggregation and high-scorer in the Key loop for two years, led both teams with 17 points to his credit. Kovaleski tallied 11 points for Shenandoah to lead his team in scoring, while Neiman looped five into the cords from the field to give Coal 10 more points. Coal outscored Shenandoah from the field by 18 points, dropping in 19 to their opponent s' 10. But the Demons showed up miserably from the free-throw line. The best they could do was 7 out 21, while Shenandoah converted 8 of the 11 they tried for a good average. M edals were awarded individ u al m embers of the t itle teams, gold for Class A , silver fo r Class B, and bronze for Class C. In addition, Fitzpatrick's boys got one leg on the silver trophy, which becomes permanent possession of a three successive time victor. LOCAL VARSITY GAGERS PICK ALL-TOURNEY FIVE Immediately after the final game of the 1936 high school cage tourney last Saturday, members of the varsity basketball team of the College named their choices for an alltournament team, their alternates, and those deserving honorable mention.

He wasn't able to translate lusio pularls and make it apply to the game of tennis but he had started out to learn about earliest tennis and, because there was no one around to give him an argument on lusio pularis, he Insisted that there was the first tennis combat.

The picture showed a man standing on the edge of a perfectly round ice cake thirty feet in diameter, -which moved round with a water eddy at an unusually even rate. The hand , dressed in uniform opened the chapel program with 3 compositions. Other pictures shown were those t aken of foo tball gam es last fall , one of the Homecoming Game and one of the Shippensburg game.

FORNEY LIKENS LIFE TO ROSEBUSH IN "Y" SPEECH Results of Both Depend Upon Kind And Amount Of Nour ishment At the regular meeting of the Y. M. C. A., Wednesday, Ma rch 25, Prof. William C. Forney, of the Department of Commerce, t alked on the subject of "The Gardens of Life," in which he likened our lives to a rose bu sh , which grows and • blossoms according to the nourishment provided for it. The speaker pointed out the need for taking inventory of one's life and sorting out those things which do not contribute to a successful life of service. During the course of his sp eech Prof For n ey a n swered ma n y questions about what constitutes success. His talk blended into an expression of the need for an all-around relationship between faculty and students outside the classroom. Members of the Y. M, C. A. expressed pleasure in the delightfully informal style Prof. Forney used in his speech.
