The Music Appreciation Club very
ably conducted chapel exercises on
Friday, December 3rd. The manner
in which they took full responsibility
deserves much credit.
Miss Marion Pickett, president of
the club , gave a short talk on the
aims and purpose of the club. She
then spoke on the origin and early
history of music.
Two selections representative of
the early period were played:
1. Hymn to Apollo ,
2. Summer is ic.umnin.
The following Folk Songs were
rendered by members of the club :
English—"Oh, N o John ," by Mar-

garet nanman.

Irish—"My Gentle Harp, " by Mar'
garet Hartman.
German— "Lullabye ," by Margaret
Hartman and Eleanore Letterman.
Miss Margaret Lewis had charge
of the Classical Period. Selections
representative of that period were :
1. "Jupiter Symphony "—Mozart.
2. "Fif th Symphony in C Minor "—Beethoven.
3. "Two Grenidiers "—Shuman.
4. "Hark , Hark! the Lark"—
Shubert.

history of the early Italian Operas.
Selections played were :

2. Song of the Shepherd Love.

Scripture. Miss Josephine Schuman,

Mr. Brooke Yeager assisted by Mr.

Spitzbergen quickly becau3e the first
two weeks in May are the most ideal
for polar flying. It is necessary ,to
start from the snow as the ice is too
rough. Spitzbergen alone can be
reached at that time because of the
warm water of the gulf stream melting the ice which shuts off travel toward the pole from other directions
for a much longer time.
King 's Bay was reached April 29.
Then the trouble began. Four lifeboats were lashed together for a raft
which carried the plane ashore. The
plane was then taken up a mile incline where the snow had to be packed , and smoothed. One pair of skiis
woro damuged tho first send off, The
second time the plane landed in a
snow drift but the third time the
flight was a success.
Turning to his own flight Commander Byrd declared that Floyd
Bennett deserved more credit than
anyone else for a successful flight.
He also stated that without , the
splendid cooperation and help of tne
men who accompanied him he could
nevor have made the flight,

The foot ball men held their annual banquet at Hotel Remely on
Tuesday evening and elected Ray
Hawkins captain of the 1927 foot
ball squad. It was shown that the
logical man was elected when he received 13 out of a possible 15 votes
over his opponent. The boys know
that Ray produced ' the goods during
past foot ball season by smashing
theng§ right and left as right tackle
and therefore did not hesitate to single him out for the captaincy.
The foot ball men have already
adopted the slogan, "Bear down ,
Hawkey 's got the ball. "
After the "boys had feasted on an
enj oyable chicken and waffle dinner
a speech was given by Mr. Nelson,
Director of A t hletics, who act ed as

Coach is Making Good Progress Toward Making Champion Team.
Now that the foot ball season has
been completed successfully we turn
our efforts and energies toward basket ball.
Coach Booth called out his candidates for basket ball this week and
has made good progress toward developing a champion team. There
have been over thirty candidates reported for first practice.
Coath
Booth and Assistant Coach Jones will
have a hard time picking a first team.
More good basket ball men have reported for the cage game than ever
before in the history of Bloomsburg's
career in this sport. Owing to the
amount of good material available
Coach Booth is planning to have two
complete squads, each of the same
calibre. The schedule will be so arranged that there will be a game at
home and abroad on the same day.
This is a new plan in sport schedules
and will be greatly appreciated by the
student body. There will be something to stay here for during the winter.
Last Monday night the full squad
was cut to twenty men. This squad
will be later divided into two teams
of ten men each; one coached by Mr.
Booth, the other by "Vid" Jones, the
student manager.
With the following "vets" of last
year's squad Van Buskirk, Jenkins,
Garrity, Walsh, Austin, McGrath,
Swinehart and Hawkins back this
year, and some new material such as
"Ecky"
Zimmerman,
Kraynack,
Moore, Ruck and Wadas the Maroon
and Gold tossers show excellent prospects for a successful season.

The Junior Class play is occupying the center of the stage of Junior
activities. The play chosen for presentation this year is "The Goose
Hangs High" and from all indications
it will rival the productions of former years both in portrayal and .entertainment. The cast of characters is
hard at work under the able direction
of Miss Johnston, who is much pleased at the rate of progress. The play
will probably be produced sometime
in January.
The cast includes :
Sara Wirt as Eunice ; Hilda Robinson as Rhodda; Arline Hoffman as
Julia; Dorothy Richards as the
Grandmother; Ruth Hildebrand as
LoLis ; Margaret Besecker as Dagmar ; Red Banford as Bernard ; Ed.
Richards as Noel; Charles John as
Day; Leo Moore as Hugh ; Haven
Fortner as Ronald ; Ned Ralson as
Bradley ; Armand Keller as Kimberly.
The following committees are cooperating in helping to make the play
a success:
Business Manager—Elfred Jones.
Business Committee—Gladys Hirch,
Pauline Bell, Beth Cauleyj Miltona
Bolan, Mary Phillips, Willard Bennett, Lehman Snyder and Earl Miller.
Stage Manager—Clarence Ruck.

The appe arance of trained animals
in the cast is typical of the Art Club
productions as each year various animals have taken distinguished roles.
The play was an original version of
the "Pied Piper of Hamelin ," supporting a cast of 110 training school
children. This, as well as all the other Art Club productions , was directed
by George J. Keller.
The first act took place on one of
the Streets of Hamelin. The scenery
was designed by Miss Anna Wendell ,
a student.
The second act was at the foot of
a large mountain on the summit of
avhich was a huge castle. A clever
feature of this scene was the appearance of fleecy clouds crossing the sky
above the fairy castle.
A delightful musical program was
given by the Normal School Orchestra, directed by Miss Harriet Moore.

"TH E STRUGGLE FOR OIL"
(D e La Tramerye)
"Who Has Oil Has Empire !"
Tho modern oil question is of vital
interest to us not only because U. S.
controls 70 per cent, of the world 's
production but also because oil is so
valuable. In fact , this oil is so precious that the country possessing it
may control the ocean by heavy oil ,
the air by highl y refined oil , and the
land by petrol and illu minating oils.
Oil dominates the commerce of the
world since the fundamental basis of
modern industry rests upon it. Hence,
it is essential to control the supply of
oil and we have as a result our present status in production.
Uil has peculiar advantages over
coal since it necessitates so insignificant a charge for labor. The operation of a coal mine can hardly be
compared with the boring of an oil
well. Having such a small net cost
oil is bound to become more and more
important as a fuel in the future.
The invention of the Diesel internal combustion engine gave the development of oil an added impetus
since it provided for the use of heavy
rather than highly refined oil. Mazert or heavy oil requires a high temperature for combustion and this requirement is met in the Diesel engine. Here it is subjected to high
pressure in a cylinder where it produces an explosive mixture which
drives the pistons without spark or
magneto. A ship having 21,000 H.
P. equipped with a Diesel engine consumes daily 100 tons of heavy oil
while a stear> ship of the same H. P.
would consume 360 tons of coal. For
a 15-day journey the first ship would
consume 1,500 t ons of oil , and the
second ship 5,400 tons of coal. The
advan tages are obvious and since
1911 the merchant fleet of U. S. has
been consuming 15 millions bbls of
oil annually .
The consump tion of oil is increasing at an amazing rate. This, however , is to be expected since all modern ti*ansportation depends upon it.
North America supplies 80 per cent,
of the world's production but United
St ates alone consumes t wice as much
oil as t h e res t of t h e wo rld while our
reso ur ces do n ot amo u n t t o more t han
1-7 of those of the world. U. S. consumes 400 million barrels a year and
has enough at that rate for 18 years.
The total amount which can still be
extracted from the entire world'3
soil has been figured at G0 ,000 million barrels. ' Of these C0 ,000 on ly
7.000 are in U. S. and 53,000 are in
th e rest of the world. Thus the United States must succeed in acquiring
new oil fields. Oil fields are scattered all over the world but at present
these are almost all controlled by two
trusts—the Standard Oil and the
Royal-Dutch Shell. This means that
U. S. controls about 70 per cent of
the world's production . But how long
will the supply last? And after thu
supply gives out what new fuel will
take its place? Tramerye gives an
interesting account of the whole
struggle but not he nor anyone else
can answer the questions uppermost
in our minds. It remains for us to
keep our eyes open and watch the development of this issue.

The faculty director, Mr. Fenstermacher , gave the club an idea of
what activities the club might engage in during the year. He also
suggested a good name for the club
and after the club had affirmatively
voted on his suggestion the club will
now be known as "Le Circle Francais." Unlike some of the organizations this club started to work immediately. The members enjoyed
very much a game that had been
brought before the club called "Base
Ball. " Two teams were chosen, one
of Juniors and the other of Seniors,
English words were given by Mr.
Fentermacher and each one of the
teams had to give the corresponding
French word. Otherwise this would
count as one out. If the word was
given correctly, the batter received a
base , which corresponds to a hit in
real base ball.
Miss Edmunds attended the meeting and assisted the Seniors very
much in defeating the Juniors in the
base ball game. The Seniors, especially, hope she will attend meetings,
more of ten.
There are at present about seventy-three members in the club and by
t he looks of the mat erial m uch will
be done to foster the French Department in this school. Many of the
m embers, who intend to take up
French in t he near fut ure, will have
a fine opportunity to brush up in the
language. Much will be heard from
this club during the year.

According to the report issued by
the Department of Commerce, the
material condition of the people of
the United States, always high, rose
during the last year to an unparallel
level. The volume of production and
consumption of commodities that constitute the luxuries and necessities of
life was never higher; employment
was general throughout the nation ;
financial and banking activities showed many new high records. On th*
whole the country was able to maintain the highest standard of living in
its history.
I think this is a very important
economic news item of the week. It
brings out very clearly the progress
of our country at t|fe present time ,
with its still rising standards. It
shows what effect the increase of internal trade that haB been taking
place has in advancing the country
to a higher standard.
—Edgar E. Richards.
