All this time the class members were working hard to make a good beginning and a

that at least some of the members of this small class carried some of that material under
their hats called gray matter.

In the Fall of 1014, a few ardent explorers from various sections of the
{Jj
state chanced upon these strange coasts.
Among them were gold-hunters for

fame and fishermen for knowledge.
We have witnes.sed a year of wondrous growth, when as Juniors our ranks
were swelled b)" other explorers in the pursuit of learning.
We have suffered defeats and misfortunes we have passed thru struggles
we have experienced turbulent times and enjoyed eras of good feelto victories
ing, all of which have gone to form a more perfect union.
We have produced brilliant statesmen in the field of oratory valiant fighters on the athletic field
and earnest e.xplorers in the realms of science.
In all our endeavors we have held before us our motto
"Honor, Truth,
and Service." Honor has kept before us the debt we owe to ourselves and our
Alma Mater. True to our ideals we have been true to ourselves. Thru Service
to our classmates and friends we have served ourselves.
These four years have been but a brief period of preparation for our lifelong struggle in support of "Honor, Truth and Service.

AFTER

Harriet decided that Domestic Science would
be her chosen profession, and so completed her
course at L. W. H. National Training School,
Washington, D. C. It was then she heard the
call of B. S. N. S., and so entered the cla.ss of

'IS as a Junior.

At fir.st glance Harriet would appear denuire
and meek as a Puritan maid, but get her started
and she'll never let up for a

Harriet is a faithful friend, an "Ernest" student and a regular girl.
At all hours of the day
she may be found putting things in order for her

Since that time he has well earned the reputation

an active part in almost every phase of school
activity.
As a student he ranks high. In athletics
he proved the value of a year's training on the
scrubs by making Varsity foot ball this .season.
In Y. M. C. A. work his ability is shown by the
fact that he is a member of the Cabinet.
When
it comes to society wurk
we find him to be a
faithful member upon whom it can always be depended to accomplish a given task.
In view of what his record has been at Bloomsburg, we cannot but believe that "Steve" will
become highly successful as a teacher.

during the two years of its life.
We could give a history which would
not be correct, and out of place.
The first great epoch of a school child's career, is his graduation from the
Grammar grades. When he has accomplished this, the first milestone of his
journey thru life has been pa.ssed.

As usual, the class when entering the first year, was somewhat "green" and
seemed to afford the upper classmen a great deal of amusement. But it soon became accustomed to the routine of Normal School life, and our first year was
quite uneventful.
The teachers seemed satisfied that we were a model class
and we feel sure that their hopes for us will yet be realized.
So the class, during its course in .school, goes on doing things. It has its
share of intellectual students, whose brains collectively, if not individually, will
some day without doubt, outweigh those of Daniel Webster. It also has its
athletes who are invincible in all things, and in all contests in which they com;

The first and second years of the course aim to bring up any academic work
which the student may not have comjjleted to make his attainments those of a
graduate of a first class high school. The Junior and Senior years of the course
aim to take up the connnon branches in review, with the purpose of learning how
to teach them.
Instruction is also given in Manual Training, Domestic Science,
Domestic Art, Drawing, Agriculture and other optional and required academic
subjects.
The professional woik is mainly confined to the third and fourth years
of the course, and affords training in School Management, General and Special
Methods, Psychology, and Child Study, History of Education and one period
daily of Practice Teaching in the Training School, for a year, under the expert supervision of four critic teachers.

PREPARATORY

work done at Bloomsburg differs materially from
that of the majority of preparatory schools.
All the strictly college preparatory branches, as well as those of the teacher's course, are presented
with reference to their pedagogic as well as academic value. This necessarily results in giving students a broader conception of these subjects than is
otherwise po sible, and renders graduates better able to think for themselves.
That these methods are practical is shown by the fact that Bloomsburg is constantly represented among the students of the Colleges and Universities of the
country.

The courses of this department may be roughly classified under three heads
or main course, the classical, the scientific, and the medical preparatory.
As the
history of the latter course is not widely known it has been thot advisable to present it at this point.
The Medical Preparatory Course had a very humble beginning. It was begun by ])rivate arrangements made by Prof. Hartline for W. W. Preston, now
Dr. W. W. Preston of Montrose, Pa., and Elam Frederickson.
By this arrangement they agreed to help in teaching the large class in Elementary Physiology in
return for which they were to receive advanced instruction in Human Anatomy.
As this was not on the regular schedule they were obliged to work at whatever
time possible.
It was found that the most desirable time was from (S to 9 p. m.
This private arrangement lasted for two years. Because of the increased demand
for this subject a class was organized and it was officially recognized by giving it
a place on the official program.
At the same time provision was made for extension of the course by including work in Histology and Bacteriology and shaping up the cour.se .so that girls
who intended to become trained nurses could get this biological training.
During this time Dr. A. K Aldinger, head of the Department of Phy.sical
Training, was gradually develo]3ing the Physical Training Course with the view
of preparing young men and women for this line of work.
Matters were so arranged that the courses were adjusted and overlapping eliminated. At this time
the advanced Human Anatomy was taught by Dr. Aldinger, and Prof. Hartline
taught the subjects Comparative Anatomy, Histology, Physiology and Hygiene
and Bacteriology. It was at this period that the course reached the highest
point of its development.
This j)hase in the development brot into the foreground students who have
since taken courses in Forestry and have taken courses in Universitx' of Michigan,
Syracuse, Columbia, U. of P., and the summer school of Biol, of Brookl\u Institute and have become U. S. Foresters, high .school and Normal school teachers
and assistants to University and College Profe.ssors of the Biological Sciences.

began its career in the first year of the Bloomsburg Literary Institute
tFJ which later became the State Normal School.
The Society was organized in 1866 with ten charter members, among
jij^
whom we are proud to number Dr. D. J. Waller, Jr., our Principal, and John M.
Clark, former Secretary of Board of Trustees. During these years Philo has steadily
grown, and during the Fall Term of our last year received one hundred and
seventy new members.
The aim of Philo Society is to give to its members the necessary training and
pre]jaration to enter upon jniblic literary work which is so necessary for people
who desire to become successful teachers. In order to develop their aim, Philo
adopted the plan of holding weekly meetings.
These \veekl\- meetings are held Saturday evenings, and programs consisting
of readings, musical selections, and debates are given by members of Philo.
Aside from doing literary and social work, Philo is a strong supporter of
athletics, and everywhere the foot ball squad journeys Philo may feel justly

glance over the activities of Callie, we cannot fail to note how closely
the spirit shown during the events of the past year corresponds to that
r*" * characteristic of our society thriiout its whole history.
Well has that spirit
guided us in carrying out the thot of our motto, "Excellence or Nothing."
When we began our society work last fall we were prone to be disheartened
because we could not boast of overwhelming numbers.
We went at our work
however, with the determination to give Callie a successful year.
With this aim
in the foreground we took hold of our Saturday evening meetings and produced

many

ajjpropriate programs.

During the early part of the j-ear we had prepared for a public program,
when we were asked to cooperate with the rest of the school in giving a vaudeville to raise money for procuring a band to help win the Wyoming game.
We
resjjonded, and contributed a number of selections which were well given.
At
this time we presented the school with a service flig, which now hangs in chapel.
On the twenty-third of February we celebrated our forty-fourth anniversary.
The morning program was made up of selections of the highest character, and
we received the praise of those who were our guests for the occasion. There
was a large number of the more recent graduates back for the day, among them
The play, "All of a Sudden Peggy," was well

given and well liked.
The whole day was characterized by the same patriotic
spirit that has been manifested in Callie thriiout the whole year.
We are sure
that the majority of people went away with the feeling that they had spent one
of their happiest days at B. vS. N. S.
And so our work went on thruout the \ear. In looking over the results of
our year, we realize that in order to con luct a successful society, it is not so necessary to have large numbers and nuuh money as it is to have the spirit.
In a
smaller society the work must necessarily be distributed among a larger percentage of members, thus greatly increasing the interest. The members must necessarily get closer together and cooperate more, and so accomplish more.
And thus we feel that we have accom)ilished our year's aim, and are sure
that the U'lS class will recall with saii-ifaction their man\- happy times spent in
Callie work.

(T^WE SEASON

of 1917 was considered a successful season, the majority of
games having been won by our boys. Most of this was due to the fine
showing put up by the team. Our catcher, Goff, played a fine game behind the bat.
His splendid throws to second and good work at the bat led us to
victory several times.
Kester's fine work at first base was the downfall of many
men of the opposing team. The outfield was made up of Ramige, brink, and
Ikeler.
Smith and Hodgson played well on second and third bases respectively.
Hodder, who was our scrub pitcher the preceding year, came forward now and
was our star pitcher. The scrubs, who always did fine substituting, were Griffiths, Sotolongo, Leonard and Sands.

Game

[N everything except the score, which was a 13-13 tie, and which counts, Normal
won from Wyoming Seminary this year on Normal field in a game which
lie remembered as the most spectacular in the twenty- five years the
teams have fought in the great foot ball classics of Central Pennsylvania.
A crowd of easily ;'>000 saw Normal's green team, with one lone veteran in
the line-up, go against Wyoming's veterans a team that averaged at least ten
pounds more to the man and they saw Normal literally play them off their feet.
They saw the visitors score within two minutes after play began on the veriest
fluke, and then witnessed the spactacle of Normal, rather than disheartened by
that handicaji, literally pound its way through the Wyoming defense and by
short, stabbing gains carry the ball half the length of the field for a touchdown.
Twice again in that first half they saw Normal tear its way through a stubborn
Wyoming defen.se to within ten and fifteen yards of the goal, only to lose by a
costly fumble.
Again in the third quarter, did they see Normal carry the ball
almost to Wyoming's goal only to lose it. And then, for the first time in the
wh' le game that Wyoming's defense assumed anything like real proportions, they
saw the visitors assail Normal's gates and witnessed one of the most remarkable
defenses any field has ever seen.
With their last ten 3-ards placing them within
a foot or two of the Normal goal they made the gain by an inch, and it required

That was the only period

a defen.sive game.

CRASH CAME QUICKLY.
That, however, was sufficient to throw a mantle of gloom over the thousands
of Normal cohorts.
There remained six minutes to play when the kick-off sent
the ball close to Normal's goal post.
That Normal could tie the score in those
few minutes seemed impossible. An offside play set them further back, but the
crowd was then thrilled as it has seldom been thrilled before as they saw Normril's wonderful machine plow through the Wyoming line for the same stead}^
relentle.ss jabs that had been bowling over the supposedly more seasoned Wyoming line all through the game.
There was no withstanding that furious attack.
Normal's eleven, aroused over possibility of its su])erior attack being thwarted by
a miscue here and there, tore relentlessly on.
The crowd went wild. Normal
by this time was out of its own territory and in the du.sk of an approaching night
was passing rnpidly over the chalk-lined field. A fumble meant defeat, but the
fumble that had baffled their hopes before was this lime absent. Through the
tackles and the guards -playing straight foot ball all the time— shot that Normal
attack.
The end of ])lay was drawing perilously near, but just before the whistle
blew, over the line went Hower with the tying score.
Uormack there had the
chance to win the game. The angle at which he was obliged to kick was an easy
one, but the ball shot ea.'^ilv three feet to the right of the goal post, and again victory
was thrust from Normal's lips. But the great crowd thought the goal had been
kicked and forthwith went wild. They would have gone wild, anyhow, for
hadn't they sten one of the greatest games Central Pennsylvania has ever staged ?

The season opened with a game on the Normal floor with Hazleton.
Altho this game came before our girls had much practice, they soon showed
hew they could play by defeating Hazleton with a score of 12-2.
The second game was played with the Wilkes-Barre High School, an

This was the best and most exciting game of
the season, and despite the fact that Miss Keene was unable to play in center, Normal girls came out victorious.

the Senior basket

However, with "Mike" Leach as Captain, and Lohman as Manager,
we turned out the winning team of the season. In fact, we won every
game played including one with the Varsity Reserves.
"Steve," our tall center, showed his ability by out-jumping every other
center who opposed him.
"Eddie" Yost, altho small in stature, turned out to be our star forward, having the largest number of points to his credit. Next to him in
regards to points was Lohman, who quickly developed into a "star" player.

Drama

Philo

#'kN November

'29, 1917, Philo Society presented "The Tempest."
The scene
takes place on an island in the Mediterranean Sea.
Alonzo, King of
Na])les, and his attendants, having been shipwrecked, are lured to the
island by Prospero's magic art.
The leading roles were played by Nora Shannon and Bruce Shearer. Ruth
Kahler played the ])art of Ariel, an airy spirit, to the great delight of the audience.
The most difficult role, that of Caliban, was played by Leslie Brace with
remarkable ability. All the other characters plaj'ed their roles verv well and
helped to make the drama a success.
One of the most attractive features of the drama was the dmcing. Ariel's
solo dance was very delightful.
Helen Lord and Mary Durkin did a sprite dance
which amused the audience a great deal. The dance of the shapes was done remarkably well by six girls. A number of girls from the Model School, as attendants of Ceres, Juno, and Iris, did well in their dance.
As a whole the drama was a great success and each one deserves a great deal

of credit for

doing his part so

well.

Then the mortals entered into the celebration and a band of Grecian
