ATTENTION NORMALITES !

Students, This is Your Paper and First Play Produced This Term Was
Your Support is Needed.
Written by Percival Wilde.
The staff of this publication wishes
to present our policy in connection
with this work.
Students : This is your paper. We
as a staff , want you to feel that you
have a part in putting this proposition
over. Your support is needed , not
only now but after you leave this institution , for our campus is the State.
Any contributions that you wish to
make will be accepted , ideas, materials, and inspirations will be most
welcome.
Alumni : This is your paper, you
are now given an opportunity to relive your school days. It will certainly be of interest to you to know what
is taking place at "Old Normal," and
we who are here wish to know what
you are doing.
This paper will give us an opportunity to become acquainted with
each other, to feel as memberi of a
family and also to keep alive the
memory of our school days. We would
be glad to hear from you at all times
as you may be able to give us some
news about your classmates that
will be of interest to us. Some of the
alumni may hav e changed their names
or may expect to do so; well , tell us
about it. With your help, we will be
able to do much to aid our Alumni
Associations and thus reflect honor
upon our Alma Mater.
[B. S. N. S ]
PICTURES FOR THE OBITER
Seniors whose last names begin
with A, B, C, D, E, F, or G , should
have had their pictures taken for the
Obiter by this time.
If you do not go during the time
that is allotted you miss your turn
and must wait until the others have
taken theirs.
All pictures must be taken some
time this month. Mr. Phillips stated
that pictures taken after this month
will increase in price.
Watch the bulletin boards and listen for Chapel announcements so that
y$u do not miss your turn.

Faux Pas.
At a reception held in our school
some time ago the Faculty had complementary tickets and were to enter
the reception hall through a side door.
A Freshmnn was stationed at this
door to see that none others than
Faculty or their families entered. Mr.
Berry happened to be n new member
on the Faculty . Mrs. Berry and her
two daughters appeared at the Faculty door for admittance. The Freshmnn , not knowing the Indies, and
obeying instructions as all good
Freshmen should , denied them entrance to the reception.
This happened :
Mrs. Berry (impatiently) —"Boy,
do you know who wo are? We are
cho Berry 's."
Evancho—"I don 't care if you 're
tho ccvt'B whiskers—you can't got in
here without your tickets."

GREAT TALENT DISCOVERED
The first play produced by the
Bloomsburg Players this term was
one written by the inimitable Percival
Wilde. It is called "The Sequel. "
The stoi'y is concerned with the proposal of a very unwise young man to
a very shrewd young lady. After the
acceptance, She, rather puzzled by his
unlovelike attitude, adroitly questions
the unhappy young man and finds out
that this proposal has been instigated
by Papa , the self-made department
store head. With laughable cleverness she plans to punish them both
with one stroke.
The play was executed in a manner
that reflected credit on both the players and the director. • The following
was the cast of characters :
He
Walter Rohlands
She
:
Elizabeth Delaney
The Very English Butler
„ Billy Walsh
The Department Store Papa
George Janell
The play was directed by Gertrude
Buscher, former secretary of the
Club.

SPEED AND ACCURACY
Often have we found that speed is
mistaken for accuracy. Too many individuals substitute speed for accuracy as a thing that can be placed in
its stead. It takes more time to get
a thing right than it does wrong, but
we are not interested in how rapidly
a child can get something wrong.
The value of speed is determined
by what use it is put to. It is not a
matter of how fast one can typewrite,
but how accurately the typing is done.
One is not concerned with the length
of time an artist takes to produce a
masterpiece , they are, however, concerned with the accuracy maintained;
the harmonizing of colors, the perspective of the drawing, the expressions portrayed by the individuals
drawn , etc. Quality above all else
should be the goal of everyone. Obtain accuracy and speed will follow.
The rate at which we are able to perform duties is less important than excellence of production.

SCHOOL SPIRIT
School Spirit—What is it? School
spirit is your spirit—the combined
spirit of all the students and Faculty
and whole-hearted support in ALL
the activities of our school.
There is one thing, at present , that
should interest our entire student
body and alumni as well. That one
thing is our athletics. The best place
we can show our school spirit is at our
football games. The cheering this
years is far superior to that of previous years , but from now on we want
our spirit to show itself in our cheering. Let us then resolve to make our
games more exciting by the amount
of school spirit shown.
Let us back our team with vim , vigor, and hearty co-operation. Bloomsburg has put some champion teams on
the grid before and it is doing it now ,
bat their success will be more phenomenal if the student body cheers
f rom the side-lines.
If your ambition is at a low ebb ,
remember that yelling does not require nearly so much effort or strenuous labor as the team 's playing. Let's
have at least six hundred and fifty
rooters at each game , and bring with
you all your reserve pep.

A MYSTERIOUS INTRUDER
IN ROOM NO. 295
Crick ! Crick ! Crick !—crick ! crick !
crick !
Upon opening the door this strange
sound greeted our ears every evening.
It is a sort of out-of-place sound , reminding one of woods and glens. But ,
upon flooding the place with light we
find ourselves in Room 295. The
sound continues unceasingly. What
can it be? We search under the bed ,
under the dresser , under the Orthophonic—everywhere , but no trace of
the possessor of this little voice can
be found—not a clue. The voice
stops suddenly. We get down to
study. In the midst of an interesting
chapter in Psychology we hear the
sound break forth anew like a sudden peal of thunder. Our studying is
interrupted.
Our pugnacious instincts are aroused to their greatest
height. We arise from our chairs,
and armed with slippers and shoes we
set forth in search of the intruder.
Pie was not hard to find this time, for,
lo and behold ! there he is on a paper
in front of us. It was only a cricket.

HISTORY OF SCIENCE HALL
Over twenty-five years ago, Bloomsburg Normal had great need of more
class rooms. To relieve the crowded
condition of the School and to provide room for t he new t each ers and
their cla sses, plans were made for a
new building to be built on the campus. This building was Science Hall.
As we students go to and from our
classes in Science Hall and enjoy the
privileges of having such a finely
equipped building, we should know
something of its interesting history.
Funds were appropriated and plans
drawn up for the building about the
ye ar 1900 , and work was immediately begun. However ,, the workmen
soon found that they had an almost
unsurmountable difficulty to contend
with. They were working on sandy
soil and could not strike a solid foundation on which to build. Finally,
when the men thought they had'd suitable foundation they began building
and the bottom fell out. After a good
deal of delay and trouble , a huge pile
driver was brought to Bloomsburg to
sink concrete posts for the foundation of the building. Over one hundred and seventy posts were sunk in
a square formation and across tho
square.
This is what supports
Science Hall.
At the time the Hall was built it
was considered one of the best planned school buildings in the country.
As you have often noticed it is built
on a half-story plan instead of the usual one story, so while Science Hall
is called a four story building, It really is a six story one,
Science Hall adds dignity, charm
and prestige to our campus and Is a
building any school should bo proud
to possess.

We offer you a large choice, which
those attending Chapel have already
heard. From this list you have been
urged to make your choice with all
possible speed. In High School there
may have been a Club to which you
belonged. There is a Club of the
same type here. If you like to hike ,

music, j oin a Glee Club of Music Appreciation Club. But join something !
Make yourself a live part of the

INTERESTING DISCUSSION 1
Professor Advocates Organization of I
Outside Curriculum.
I
Last Friday Professor Sutliff gave
an interesting discussion concerning
the organization of outside Curriculum. In this School there arc
many organizations such as: the dramatic club, glee club, music apprecintion clubs, and the athletic leaders.
All of these have their maximum
memberships but they by no moans
include the entire- student body. Prof ,
Sutliff gave his opinion and those of
others in favor of the organization of
new clubs such as history, geography,
geology, and nature appreciation.
It is desired by tho Faculty that all
students should participate in the
work of at least one of these organizations thus making-thorn active and
more beneficial.

to tell that the Juniors do their part.
It is needless to say that tho Juniors havo fallen right into the spirit
of the customs. Thoy havo displayori
tho type of true sportsmanship that

Keep it up.

been most generous to us this year.
It has sent to us not only a Handwriting Instructor in the person of
M is s Jeffries , but also an Art Instructor, Miss Robinson.
Miss Robinson was born in Kirksville, Missouri, a small college town
about the size of our own Bloomsburg. The State Teachers ' College
and a School of Osteopathy are located in her home town.
Again, like Miss Jeffries, Miss Robinson is a graduate of the University
of Missouri. She has also taken graduate work at Columbia University in
New York City and at an Art School
in Chicago.
Art has been Miss Robinson a chief
course in her teaching experience.
She has taugh t Intei'ior Decorating
at Columbia University ; Art, at Gulford College, a small Quaker College
in North Carolina; also Art in the
Ohio University.
During the past year she has been
head of the Art Department at the
West Texas State Teachers' College.
Miss Robinson claims that as a
child her chief aim and ambition was
to bo a circus rider. However, as she
grew older her desires become moro
cultured and the desire to study. Art
replaced the old ambition.
An excellent fund of humor of
w*hich Miss Robinson is the fortunate
possessor, makes us confident that
she will be a welcome addition

CHECKERS PREDOMINANT
IN NORTH HALL

At the beginning of the school term
boasted of
having a wizard at chess. For a long
time chess was the big pastime. This
year we have with us many who claim
to be champions in checkers. The
board is in action at all hours and
some good times are had by the audiences. If checkers continue as they
have been for the last few weeks, we
expect to see a real checker shark
arise.

After Many Years North Hall is Now
Up-to-Date Dormitory.

North Hall has gone through several interesting cycles of life in its
metamorphosis until at last it has
emerged into an up-to-date dormitory for boys.
Many, many years ago , North Hall
was built mainly for the purpose of
housing the people who worked for
the Normal School and to provide a
laundry for the School. The building
was smaller than it now is, being only
two stories high, and naturally, not
as well equipped as it is at present.
As time went on our Normal School
grew, as do all schools. The girls'
dorm itory was filled and overflowing
with girls. . In order to relieve the
crowded condition in the dormitory,
the authorities looked to North Hall
to solve the problem of sheltering
students. Then the rooms that had
been formerly housed by the maids
were renovated and North Hall became a part of the girls' dormitory.
it continued to be m possession of
the girls for a long time. Then fire
almost destroyed it and the girls were
forced to room down town.
Af ter several years had elapsed
North Hall was rebuilt on a more
modern plan and made larger by adding another story.
Situated on the top of the hill and
on such an ideal spot with a wonderful view of the surrounding country
it proved to be a very attractive building so that the ladies on the Faculty
claimed it to be their own. The
teachers lived there for several years,
long enough to have its name changed
from North Hall to Faculty Hall.
All of you who were here two years
ago know no doubt , of t he final
change which was made. In April,
1924 , all of the Faculty who roomed
there deserted the hall and sought
rooming places in the town. Carpent ers , pain ters, and plumbers took possession as soon as the hall was vacated. It was painted , new showers added and everything possible done to
make it attractive. The following
Fall the boys moved in. They are
pro ud of their building, in fac t, it
has been said that the boys have termed it the Fraternity House.
