NORMAL TEAMS FI NISH YEAR OF MARKED SUCCESS

LOUIS LERDA
Captain of Basket Ball Team
"The record of the basket ball team
this year shows that winning combinations do not Lave ive individual stars
but a group of five players banded together into a smoothly 'working machine."
BASKET-BALL.
Students of this institution may well
be proud of the basket-ball team that
represented B. S. N. S. this year. The
1923-24 quintette has established a record that may well be the ambition of
B. S. N. S'. teams in latter years to
equal. Such a record no other Prep,
school in this state accomplished during the past season. The schedule as
arranged by Faculty Manager George
N. Hall together with studen t manager
James W. Lawson , was unusually heavy and our opposition consisted of
some of the strongest prep, school
teams in the state. Nevertheless our
team showed its superiority by doubling the score of the opponents in nearly every contest.
Among the victories in which we take
pride are : two over our ancient rivals
Wyoming Seminary ; Belief onte <¦
Bloomsburg ; and Shippensburg nncl
Stroudsburg Normal, both away and ai
homo ; as well as Dickinson Seminary
and Keystone Academy. Other teams
that feil beforo the onslaught of the
teachers were Bethlehem Prep., two
games ; Mt. Camel and Bloomsburg
High Schools, one each ; Bucknell , one
game ; Altoona Apprentice School and
the Alumni of this school.
Led by their dirainutivo uapta m,
Louis Lorda, the members of the team
excelled in every department of the
game, and their clean work on the
court met w ith praise no matter whore
they played. Captain Lorda played
forward and was high scorer for the
year. Ho was always noticed for his
unusual speed In going down the floor.
He was a dead shot from anywliero inside tho 15-foot mark. Besides his playIng ability ho was also an excellent
leador. Altho ho loaves us in .Tune, via
tho graduation routo, his 1023-24 basket-ball performances will long bo romoraborod.

A close second to Lerda in the scoring record conies "Stretch" Schwall *
Hi s p laying ulont was well worth going miles to see. "Stretch" knows basket-ball from A to Z and could employ
more tricks than a crcus performer,
und only on very few occasions did he
conuhit any fouls. His fame as a basket-ball player has spread far and near
and everywhere the team played the
opponents slogan was "watch the b.g
boy ," but they never could watch him
close enough. In every game thruout
the entire x year Schwall out-j umped and
out-played his opponent.

Y. M. C. A.
The past year has been one of the
most successful that the Normal Y. 'M.
C. A. has ever known. We started tho
action with a push when we gave the
reception to the Juniors. That was the
only social event, however, that the Y.
M. C. A. participated in.
We had devotional services every
Wednesday night in the Boys' Recreation Room. These meetings were led
by one of the boys who presented a
topic and then gave the meeting over
:o discussion. A number always responded , so the meetings were very
worth while.
Much of our success was due to Prof.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS
Although tho Junior High Schoo
movement has been gaining in popular
ity for a number of years, people boll
in and out of the teaching professioi
are frequently heard to ask "What is
a Junior High School ? In what ways
is it an improvement over the tradi
tional eight year elementary school?"
The Junior High School is an idea ,
a way of thinking, an educational philosophy. It usually includes the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. It is a
"finding school"1 for boys and girls of
early adolescence for it aims to explore the interests, abilities and aptitudes of its students. It aims to give
them a complete, well rounded experience which will be immediately useful
and which will also be a sound foundation for future living. It is organized
to minister to the needs of early adolescence ; both for this reason and also
because it bridges the gap between the
traditional elementary school and the
High School, it helps to hold the pupils m in school for a longer period of
time. The subj ect matter is selected
and treated so as to aid in the accomplishment of the aims stated above.
The work is largely departmental. The
various departments, as organized in
our Junior High School, speak for
themselves.
The English work of our Junior
High School is planned to make each
pupil's use of English more effective,
to inculcate ideals of service, industry,
and courtesy, righ t habits of though,
and a generous social attitude toward
his environment.
English is social in content and #social in method of acquirement. The
chief function of language is communication. Hence the activities of our
English classes provide for actual oral
and written communication. We try
to systematize such knowledge of the
principles of expression as will help
each pupil consciously to increase his
ability.
In our Literature classes we strive
so to appeal to tho developing Rensibilities of early adolescence as to lead to
tho ea ger and appreciative reading of
books. Wo want the pupils to form the
habit of turning to good books In their
leisure hours.
Since even tho modern class exorcise
can not well provide for the entire
range of social situations wo give on
opportunity, by means of clubs, for individual and group development.
With tho cooperation of all the
teachers we are attempting to accomplish these aims.
During the first six years of school
work in tho mathematics, tho interest
is contored about computation, Tho
child trios to gain accuracy and speed
in tho four fundamentals—addition ,
su btraction, multipl ication and division. It has been shown that those necessary elomonts can bo taught and definite skill developed in this time.
