The Obiter will have pictures of
everyone, interesting facts about the
college campus, write-ups about the
clubs, and the social life of the student body. It will contain something
of interest to everyone.
The Obiter will go to press as soon
as the last picture is taken. Mr. Dobyns is doing his best to get all these
pictures taken but he needs more assistance from the student body. It
may be necessary to run last year 's
picture if the new ones are not made
available.
All students are asked to do the
following:
1. Keep checking the schedule list for
individual and group pictures,
2, Be on time for the appointments.

MISS BETTY WHITE
DIRECTS SINGING
The March 20 meeting of S. C. A.
was in charge of Barbara Greenly
and Mary Ellen Clark. They sang a
duet, gave a reading and led tho
group in several hymns. Joyce Smith
was the accompanist.
Miss Betty White, from Bloomsburg, was then Introduced. She directed the singing of folk songs ,
rounds, and negro spirituals.

Unusual Play
Was Presented
A very unusual play entitled "The
Soul of the Professor," was presented
by the Bloomsburg Players on Tuesday evening, March 27. The theme
of the play was the inner voice, that
other self which keeps talking to us
whether we listen or not. The Professor was played by Bob Llewellyn,
and his Soul by Phillip Joseph . The
interesting feature of the play was
the fact that the Soul was on the
stage and kept talking to the Professor, but no one, not even the Professor, could hear or see him. The
play depicted a typical college Professor and his struggle with various
types of students. Royal Conrad
played the part of Johnny Burson, a
typical "Apple-polisher. " Andy Argos portrayed a good student , the
kind that every professor loves, Barbara McNinch acted the part of Jane
Selden , an average student trying to
get through , but who has a hard
time. Gladys Kuster portrayed the
part of Stella Stanford , fascinating
but— ? Jack Jones played the part of
the unconcerned Dean. The play was
directed by Barbara McNinch.

demonstration of electrical devices
was given by Dr. j , Owen Perrine,

CAN PREVENT ANOTHER WAR

ANNUAL COMivSrCIAL CONTEST

do something about it. Only a
healthy America can be a straightthinking America.
In your science classes, you can
learn the physical basis and the physical relationships of all life. In your
English clashes, you can learn to
make your 'mind work better, and
can learn the ideals that humanity V.;|'
needs to know if there is to be peace.
In your fine arts classes, you can
learn some of the things that make
i life meaningful and beautiful.
And when you walk into a classroom in education , you can learn how *•
to transmit to another generation the
knowledge, the ideals, and the beauty
that you have discovered. You can
learn how to help create a straightthinking America that can make impossible a third world war.
So you think there shouldn't be a
third world war? Well , it's up to you.
