NEW START
Thanksgiving 1 Vacation is over.
What has it meant to us? Did we
use our time- to fit us to do better
the work still before us? There is
much yet to be done, for the preparation of a teacher is today exacting. With the increase in salary have
come greater demands on the teacher. She must now be prepared to
teach , many subjec ts, and each subj ect must be taught better than ever before. Let us then buckle down
to business and use well our period

On Friday evening , Novemb er 20 ,

feature of the recital. She sang this

Messiah " by Handel.

Cinderella , the third annual Art Club production ,
resplendent in fresh dress, rich costumes, beautiful scenery and new properties , bursts from its chrysalis and emerges re-created , re-enlarged and re-featured for your
approval.
Incredible as it sounds , there is more show this year
than ever before and in many respects it is a better play.
The cast will include fifty-five children , six w hite
rats and German police dogs.
The advance sale of tickets has surpassed all other
art club productions. So great was the demand for evening tickets that the supply was1 exhausted in less than a
week after they were placed on sale. With very few
afternoon tickets remaining, the play bids fair to be the
most successful one.
The public press is entitled to much credit therefore.
More than twenty-five newspapers, and in addition many
art and educational magazines have accepted pictures
and articles concerning the progress of this production.
The producing of "Cinderella " has not been confined exclusively to the Junior High Art Classes. Practically the entire Junior class has contributed hundreds
of attractive posters. The names of many middlers and
seniors appear in the personnel of the production.
The play is directed by Prof. Keller. Aesthetic
dancing and costumes are in charge of Miss Murray' and
Miss John. The making of the scenery is directed by

THE LAG OON
(A Reverie on ah Indian Summer 's
Day.)
'Midst the trees of Bloomsburg Normal.
'Neath the pleasant shade,
There 's a spot I love to visit
Many trips to it I've made.
Just a pool beneath some shade trees
With a path encircling it,
But it's pleasant just to linger
Near its banks and dream a bit.
Oak trees bending o'er the water,
Gently swaying in the wind ,
Drop their acorns on the gravel
For the busy squirrels to find.
One can sit there in odd moments
With a book upon his kness,
And it's great to read while acorns
Patter downward merrily.
As they fall , some strike the water,
And their patter seems to chime
With the splash of hidden fountains
In the center of that pool of mine .
Why call it mine you wonder ?
Others laugh because it's crude ;
But the love of God's sweet country
Soon will change their attitude.
I once thought it bare and lonely,
But I've changed my state of mind
For the wonders all about it
, . Make' it beautiful , I find.
.
.
Just the sky of blue above it,
Peeping through those lofty trees,
Just the pleasant .hum and murmur
Of the busy honoy bees.

A LEADER
We have on our faculty a man
who is a leader. Him we may well
follow. Where he has laid his finger
greater beauty now exists.
H is work can be looked at w it h
pride. The whole school and district
know the one who produced "Little
Red Riding Hood" and "The Three
Bears. " These practical project s reveal his principles on every side and
show him to be a resolute man.
This year he produces the last and
greatest of his Junior High Productions. Hours have been expended on
this work and the country is looking
for wonders to be performed.
His results in dealing with children , men , animals an d mat eri als ar e
remarkable. He is a leader well
worth following.
Let's all turn out in support.
Wonderful entertainment is looming
ahead ,
SUCCESSFUL SEASON
The football season is over. Our
team played the game very well. The
schedule was hard. The weather was
discouraging. Many of the players
were new and inexperienced. The
regular captain had not returned.
The coach was new. The style of play
was Quite different from that of last
year. And yet, in spite of these seeming handicaps the team made a fine
showing. We won our share of the
games and all opposing teams were
held to low scores.
Both the German and the Polish
governments have decided to abandon the policy of expelling each other's nationals. This will allow about
35,000 Germans to remain in Poland and about 7,500 Poles to remain in Germany.

Professor Keller 's enthusiasm is
contagious. The entire school has

STUDENTS SPEAK As a fitting close to Education
Week the students of the Normal
School had their day. The chapel period was set apart as a time for every school activity and organization
to be explained. The program was
very interesting to those present.
Each school activity was represented by one of its members. The
speakers told of the work, aims and
plans of their organization. The
members of the school were given a
chance to really know their school.
Without some such introduction little can be known of this place except through personal contact. There
is a limit t o that .
Charlotte Morgan headed the list
with a report on student government functions. She made it clear
that Bloomsburg Normal students
are expected to be good. Francis Garrity explained the virtues of the
Freshman Class. The are all prodigies.
The contribution of the orchestra
under the direction of Miss Moore
and the Glee Clubs under the direction of Miss Skinner was highly acceptable. They gave actual demonst rations of their ability and the
school was left to j udge for itself.
Hugo Riemer spoke of the Maroon
and Gold agd its use to the school.
He made the request that the school:
patronize the advertisers in the paper. Joe Kane humorously represented the boys athletics and was well
received . Morris Grier talked for the
Athletic Leaders and urged eyery
Freshman girl to aspire to it.
The Y. W. C. A. had a noble
champion in Edith Morris. We'll all
j oin. Joe Dugan was his usual eloquent self. Now the school understands t he B. D. C. William Austin
said that the Dramatic Club is good.
Seniori ty representatives told us
that the school couldn 't ex ist unless
they did.
The new students didn 't know a
great institution—the Obiter. Now
they do. Edison Harris explained its
aim and plans. George Janell elaborated on the great and illustrous
quartette.

Youth" . His wonderful work with
the pupils of the Lincoln School, Columbia University, is much lik e tha t
of Mr. Keller's in our Fine Arts Department.
NE W DEPARTURE
Miss Conway is instituting a plan
of co-operation with the parents of
the students at Bloomsburg. She intends to invite fathers and mothers
to regional conferences for the purpose of establishing a basis of better understanding. There will be such
meetings at Nanticoke, Wilkes-Barre
Hazleton, Scranton, Kingston, Pittston, etc. This is a new device that
promises much for the future. No
Normal School or college has ever
tried such a co-operative scheme for
the welfare of its students.

Economy can be carried so far that it results in a
downright loss.
Poor, cheap leather and bad workmanship cannot
produce good shoes, even though they look good and are
advertised as such.
A raincoat that leaked the first time you wore it
which you bought because it was cheap, was a costly
investment, as you knew when you looked at your damaged and stained dress.

LARGE AUDIENCE
Presented Tonight
On Friday evening , Novemb er 20 ,
Miss Cecil Arden , of the Metropolitan Opera Company , gave a delightful song recital in the auditorium.
Miss Arden 's voice was probably the
most expressive ever heard here. The
"Reve de Carmen " was the principal
feature of the recital. She sang this
in the costume of a Spanish belle.

Cinderella , the third annual Art Club production ,
resplendent in fresh dress, rich costumes, beautiful scenery and new properties , bursts from its chrysalis and emerges re-created , re-enlarged and re-featured for your
approval.
Incredible as it sounds , there is more show this year
than ever before and in many respects it is a better play.
The cast will include fifty-five children , six w hite
rats and German police dogs.
The advance sale of tickets has surpassed all other
art club productions. So great was the demand for evening tickets that the supply was1 exhausted in less than a
week after they were placed on sale. With very few
afternoon tickets remaining, the play bids fair to be the
most successful one.
The public press is entitled to much credit therefore.
More than twenty-five newspapers, and in addition many
art and educational magazines have accepted pictures
and articles concerning the progress of this production.
The producing of "Cinderella " has not been confined exclusively to the Junior High Art Classes. Practically the entire Junior class has contributed hundreds
of attractive posters. The names of many middlers and
seniors appear in the personnel of the production.
The play is directed by Prof. Keller. Aesthetic
dancing and costumes are in charge of Miss Murray' and
Miss John. The making of the scenery is directed by

THE LAG OON
(A Reverie on ah Indian Summer 's
Day.)
'Midst the trees of Bloomsburg Normal.
'Neath the pleasant shade,
There 's a spot I love to visit
Many trips to it I've made.
Just a pool beneath some shade trees
With a path encircling it,
But it's pleasant just to linger
Near its banks and dream a bit.
Oak trees bending o'er the water,
Gently swaying in the wind ,
Drop their acorns on the gravel
For the busy squirrels to find.
One can sit there in odd moments
With a book upon his kness,
And it's great to read while acorns
Patter downward merrily.
As they fall , some strike the water,
And their patter seems to chime
With the splash of hidden fountains
In the center of that pool of mine .
Why call it mine you wonder ?
Others laugh because it's crude ;
But the love of God's sweet country
Soon will change their attitude.
I once thought it bare and lonely,
But I've changed my state of mind
For the wonders all about it
, . Make' it beautiful , I find.
.
.
Just the sky of blue above it,
Peeping through those lofty trees,
Just the pleasant .hum and murmur
Of the busy honoy bees.

A LEADER
We have on our faculty a man
who is a leader. Him we may well
follow. Where he has laid his finger
greater beauty now exists.
H is work can be looked at w it h
pride. The whole school and district
know the one who produced "Little
Red Riding Hood" and "The Three
Bears. " These practical project s reveal his principles on every side and
show him to be a resolute man.
This year he produces the last and
greatest of his Junior High Productions. Hours have been expended on
this work and the country is looking
for wonders to be performed.
His results in dealing with children , men , animals an d mat eri als ar e
remarkable. He is a leader well
worth following.
Let's all turn out in support.
Wonderful entertainment is looming
ahead ,
SUCCESSFUL SEASON
The football season is over. Our
team played the game very well. The
schedule was hard. The weather was
discouraging. Many of the players
were new and inexperienced. The
regular captain had not returned.
The coach was new. The style of play
was Quite different from that of last
year. And yet, in spite of these seeming handicaps the team made a fine
showing. We won our share of the
games and all opposing teams were
held to low scores.
Both the German and the Polish
governments have decided to abandon the policy of expelling each other's nationals. This will allow about
35,000 Germans to remain in Poland and about 7,500 Poles to remain in Germany.

STUDENTS SPEAK As a fitting close to Education
Week the students of the Normal
School had their day. The chapel period was set apart as a time for every school activity and organization
to be explained. The program was
very interesting to those present.
Each school activity was represented by one of its members. The
speakers told of the work, aims and
plans of their organization. The
members of the school were given a
chance to really know their school.
Without some such introduction little can be known of this place except through personal contact. There
is a limit t o that .
Charlotte Morgan headed the list
with a report on student government functions. She made it clear
that Bloomsburg Normal students
are expected to be good. Francis Garrity explained the virtues of the
Freshman Class. The are all prodigies.
The contribution of the orchestra
under the direction of Miss Moore
and the Glee Clubs under the direction of Miss Skinner was highly acceptable. They gave actual demonst rations of their ability and the
school was left to j udge for itself.
Hugo Riemer spoke of the Maroon
and Gold agd its use to the school.
He made the request that the school:
patronize the advertisers in the paper. Joe Kane humorously represented the boys athletics and was well
received . Morris Grier talked for the
Athletic Leaders and urged eyery
Freshman girl to aspire to it.
The Y. W. C. A. had a noble
champion in Edith Morris. We'll all
j oin. Joe Dugan was his usual eloquent self. Now the school understands t he B. D. C. William Austin
said that the Dramatic Club is good.
Seniori ty representatives told us
that the school couldn 't ex ist unless
they did.
The new students didn 't know a
great institution—the Obiter. Now
they do. Edison Harris explained its
aim and plans. George Janell elaborated on the great and illustrous
quartette.

Pr ofessor Me arns , now of N ew
York University, spoke at the Normal Scho ol Conference on "Creative

the pupils of the Lincoln School, Columbia University, is much lik e tha t
of Mr. Keller's in our Fine Arts Department.
NE W DEPARTURE
Miss Conway is instituting a plan
of co-operation with the parents of
the students at Bloomsburg. She intends to invite fathers and mothers
to regional conferences for the purpose of establishing a basis of better understanding. There will be such
meetings at Nanticoke, Wilkes-Barre
Hazleton, Scranton, Kingston, Pittston, etc. This is a new device that
promises much for the future. No
Normal School or college has ever
tried such a co-operative scheme for
the welfare of its students.

and sports on th e part of our students. The Senior girls have developed severa ' teams for hockey and
the Junior girls several for soccer.
Most of the boys have taken part in
football . Both girls and boys have
played tennis. The policy of the Department is evidently the participation of all in athletics. This is highly
commendable. Let the good work
continue.

Economy can be carried so far that it results in a
downright loss.
Poor, cheap leather and bad workmanship cannot
produce good shoes, even though they look good and are
advertised as such.
A raincoat that leaked the first time you wore it
which you bought because it was cheap, was a costly
investment, as you knew when you looked at your damaged and stained dress.
Milk is always white to the eye, but much of it has
been skimmed and watered, so that your baby does not
