STATE COLLEGE WINS OPENING GAME.
The opening game was played April
15,
Bloomsburg, with State College. It was
marked by some of the best and a great
deal of the worst work ever seen on the
Normal Field. The only earned run was
made by Normal on a hit by Aldinger followed by hits by McAvoy and Hummel.

Saturday, April 23, an entirely different
game was put up against Susquehanna University.
The boys redeemed themselves by
handling all kinds of hard chances. The
only shadow of an error was made by the
pitcher, but as he shut his opponents out
without a hit or a run, no one thought of
the slight mischance.
It was a pretty contest and abounded in good plays by both

authorities have
emphasized the obvious fact that school
discipline will be maintained at any cost.
No athletic team can be so valuable as to
break regulations and still remain in good
standing at the Bloomsburg Normal School.
An insubordinate individual is never desirable on a team.
A man who evades regulations will not train consistently and
therefore will prove an erratic player even
though he be one of ability.

COMMENCEMENT.
On Wednesday morning
at
10
o’clock
Rev. Dr.
Hemingway opened with prayer, followed
by a selection of music by the orchestra.
Then came the address by Rev. Dr. B. C.
Whitman of Philadelphia, who for an hour
held the close attention of his audience.
His subject was “The Call to Service” and
it was a sermon, a lecture, and an inspiration throughout.
It was a masterly effort,
and was thoroughly enjoyed

las' evening at eight thirty o’clock was the
scene of one of the prettiest and most
fashionable weddings that has occurred on
this side in a long time, when two of our
most popular young people, Miss Edna D.
Evans, the accomplished daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. D. D. Evans, of South Main
avenue, and Mr. Oscar Oswald were united
in marriage by the Rev. T. A. Humphreys.
The church was crowded with guests
and friends of the young couple, even the
street in front of the church being filled
with young and old.
The ceremony was performed in front of
a bank of palms and cut flowers from behind which Bauer’s orchestra discoursed
sweet and low music.

may present themselves on these days for
examination in as many or as few subjects
as they may desire and the severe strain of
a double set of examinations at the close of
the year may be thus avoided.
A number of students from different
schools have already’ started to take examinations in this manner, the first examination of the series having been held on February' 25th.

Our last number proved popular with the
Alumni. Our Alumni Department is one
of which we are specially proud.
Information of one’s old time classmates and schoolmates makes pleasant reading for the busiest men and women and tends to keep
jealous old age from sprinkling
those
bothersome gray hairs too early o’er brows
that used to wrinkle over problems of the
schoolroom instead of those of an unfeeling
old world.

emphasized the obvious fact that school
discipline will be maintained at any cost.
No athletic team can be so valuable as to
break regulations and still remain in good
standing at the Bloomsburg Normal School.
An insubordinate individual is never desirable on a team.
A man who evades regulations will not train consistently and
therefore will prove an erratic player even
though he be one of ability.

“The Plymouth Congregational church
las' evening at eight thirty o’clock was the
scene of one of the prettiest and most
fashionable weddings that has occurred on
this side in a long time, when two of our
most popular young people, Miss Edna D.
Evans, the accomplished daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. D. D. Evans, of South Main
avenue, and Mr. Oscar Oswald were united
in marriage by the Rev. T. A. Humphreys.
The church was crowded with guests
and friends of the young couple, even the
street in front of the church being filled
with young and old.
The ceremony was performed in front of
a bank of palms and cut flowers from behind which Bauer’s orchestra discoursed
sweet and low music.

and the bride leaning on the arm of her

were spoken that united the happy ccuple.
After the ceremony the bridal party were

Faculty examinations for students of
nearby high schools who wish to take the
examinations before the State Board in
June are being conducted according to a
new method this year. No examinations
will be held outside of the school as formerly, but examinations will be held at the
school on the last Saturday of each month
for the remainder of the year.
Students
may present themselves on these days for
examination in as many or as few subjects
as they may desire and the severe strain of
a double set of examinations at the close of
the year may be thus avoided.
A number of students from different
schools have already’ started to take examinations in this manner, the first examination of the series having been held on February' 25th.

Our last number proved popular with the
Alumni. Our Alumni Department is one
of which we are specially proud.
Information of one’s old time classmates and schoolmates makes pleasant reading for the busiest men and women and tends to keep
jealous old age from sprinkling
those
bothersome gray hairs too early o’er brows
that used to wrinkle over problems of the
schoolroom instead of those of an unfeeling
