The regular Friday Chapel program was given over to the Social
Studies Department in charge of Mr.
Reams. The subject of the program
was "Early Events and Personages of
the North Branch" as as we say "local history. "
Myrtle Trembley acted as chairman of the program and spoke briefly on the values of local history in
building up interest in social studies.
Marjorie Orr gave a very detailed
and interesting discussion on "Frontier Forts." She gave the location
and vivid description of many Forts
in the Wyoming Valley including
Forty Fort, Jenkin's Fort and Fort
Wilkes-Barre. Forts of the northwest branch of the Susquehanna were
named and described including McClure's Fort and Fort Augusta.
Miss Eleanore Evans gave a very
realistic account of the "Wyoming
Massacre."
Then came "The Ori gin of Local
Names," by Blanche Fahringer,
Among them she mentioned WilkesBarre, Danville, Catawissa, Mahanoy
City, Shenandoah and Shamokin.
Some of these towns were named
after white men and many from Indian tribes or chiefs.
Blanche Shultz told of "Some Important Indian Leaders," among the
most interesting being Logan and
Shickalemme. The interesting lives
of these men make us realize the true
greatness of the first Americans.
"Some Important Whites" were
then discussed by James Bittenbender. The most important were Moses
Van Campen and Conrad Weiser.
Mr. Reams and these students deserve credit for bringing before us
the true importance of local history.
As teachers we should be interested
in this phase of history as it is most
important that children should know
all concerning their surroundings.
Why go thousands of miles away
when you have such valueable material in your own valley? What is
true of the Wyoming Valley is true
of most all other parts of Pennsylvania. We feel that this interesting
program has brough t something vala guard , who displayed an excellent uable before our minds.

GEORGE WASHINGTON
PROGRAM HELD
Professor Rhodes Acted as Chairman
of the Exercise.

On Tuesday of this week a fitting
observance of the birthday of George
Washington was held throughout the
entire nation. This observance was
also held at this institution and a
neatly arranged program was held in
the auditorium. It was previously
proclaimed that the students perform most of the time and for this
reason the entire program was conducted and rendered exclusively by
the faculty. Many revelations of
skill and ability were the result oi"
the entertainment. Professor Rhodes
acted as chairman of the exercise and
the following progra m was given :
My Country 'Tis of Thee—By the
Audience.
Salute Pcgth, piano solo—By Prof.,
Fenstemacher.
Speech—Dr. Reimer.
The Silver Ring—Miss Sands.
Lullaby—Miss Sands.
Big Brown Bear—Miss Sands.
Speech—Prof. Reams.
America, The Beautiful—Audience.
Alma Mater—Audience.
Many students were made to wonder why Mr. Fenstemacher is teaching when he possesses such skill as he
disp lay at the piano.
Dr. Reimer 's talk on "My Reaction
Toward the American Revolution "
awakened many students and placed
in them some new ideas which as yet
they had never thought of. He said
' that the American Revolution was
only the starting incident of something which we have not yet finished.
Miss Sands rendered some mighty
fine vocal selections and her singing
was much appreciated by the audience.

Yesterday Pan was piping—
For even in the dull grey of my room ,
Common things carried delicate tints.
Ordinary cretonne of ordinary prints,
Became rich , medieval tapestry ;
Your old gown of red turned crimson !
Even the ink in the bottle twinkled,
And I remembered old silver and

Twinkling under the spell of candle

Out of the window I saw the/ snow
Floating gently and musically,
But Pan 's pipes were echoing distantlyThe snow—white , light and airy—
Of course ! Now I remember
Last May—and the old apple tree.
I thought she was an ancient crone ,
But lo—a miraculous young bride ;
A laughing maiden bride !
In her delight she threw her veil at
our feet ,
So delicate it was, that "its pieces
Lathed our feet and hair like snow.
All of that I saw again in the twinkling ink ,
But the room grew ordinary

Nevertheless—Pan is piping—

Even through the clouds of snow.

games are to be staged on the Bloom
court. Due to the uncertainty of
basket ball , Bloomsburg stands an
excellent chance of defeating the
Seminary boys tomorrow night, who
pulled the unexpected by defeating
us a few weeks ago on their floor.
Bloomsburg seems to have rid
themselves of the "ji nx " that had
been hovering over them and should
they continue the good playing they
exhibi ted against the Mansfield cagers, the down-State team will have
to fight hard in order to cop the honors. At any rate one of the most exciting games of the season is expected.
The Lock Haven game promises to
be very interesting. The Maroon and
Gold quinte t should experience little difficulty in coming out on the
bright side in tonight 's contest , as in
the initial game played at Lock Haven , Bloomsburg easily scored a onesided victory and should have littl e
trouble in duplicating it on our own
floor.
Coach Booth will put his charges
through a final work-out this afternoon and is confident that they will
come through on the long end of the
score. We all hope that a record

TOURNAMENT HELD
ON FEBRUARY 17th
' Bloomsburg Players Presented Three
One-Act Plays.
On Thursday evening, February 17
the Bloomsburg Players presented to
the public a tournament of three oneact plays. It was the first venture of
its kind that the Club ever undertook.
The results were so gratifying that
the tournament will probably be an
annual event. The three plays given
were chosen as the best produced by
the Club during the year. Each play
was of a different type, chosen t o
suit any taste which they did judging
from the applause of the audience.
The plays as they were given,
were :
"Hearts." A comedy by Alice
Gerstenberg. The scene was the living room of Mrs. Russell's home. The
story depicted the true nature of
many women. The action centered
around a bridge party in the home of
Mrs. Russel. The three women present scorn the fourth guest who is the
wife of a Doctor. Their j ealousy
drives her to despera tion , so she tak°s
some pills which she calls poison. The
other women are sorry and want her
to live. In this way she has won the
true hearts of the women.
The humor of the play was much
enjoy ed by the audience. The stage
set was attra ctive, consisting of a
cheerful living room suite.
The cast of characters were :
Mrs. Russell Russell—Molly Brace.
Mrs. Philip Mortingay—Betty Rutter.
Mrs. Edwin Puff—Kathleen Somers.

i

Mrs. Jay Thorne—Eleanor Evans.
The second play we .s entitled "Trifles." by Susan Gaspell. The scene was
a ki t chen of a humble , farm house.
John Righ ts, a farmer , Had been murdered. The County Sheriff , the Distric t Attorney and a farmer are
searching the Right home for evidence. Mrs. Righ t is being held nt
the jai l for the hanging. The wife of
the Sheriff and the wife of the farmer are also wi th the men. They are
most concerned with the general
house work of Mrs. Right; the men
laugh at this and accuse the women
of bo thering over Trifles. Nevertheless , it is they who find the evidence.
This play was so well produced that
it was awarded first place. From all
standp oints it was considered beslr ,
and the players deserve much credit.
The cast of characters were :
Lewis Hale, a Fann er—Armond
Keller.
Harvey Petei's, County Sheriff—
Francis Garrity .
Goorgo Henderson , District Attorney—James Courson.
. Mrs. Peters—Mildred Rohm.
Mrs. Hale—Beatrice Enfflehart.
The third play was "The Trysting
Place," by Booth Tarkington. The
scene was n corridor in n summer hotel. This lobby seems to be the place
where couples go to bo alone nt least
they think they are alone. First
comes Lancelot with Mrs. Curtis in
whom ho is much interested. He
hears his mother and sister approaching so he hides, , Mrs. Briggs and Miss
Brigga both have an ongaRoment at
the same place. As a result the Jobby is full of hidden intruders , Finally they all discover that none of
them have boon alone because a man

has been sitting in a large chair all
the time.
The comedy in this production was
rare and, well appreciated.

whistle found us on the long end of

The visitors displayed some neat
passing, but the Maroon and Gold
was not outdone in any line. Zimmerm a n , who astonished everyone by
his brilliant floor work, opened tho
eyes of Coach Brown 's boys with a
classy display of dribblin g and shooting. Bobby Wilson played a stellar
brand of basket ball and was high
scorer for the fourth timo. This
time he collected eigh t points.
Phillip, of the losing 1 team , was the
high scorer, with a total of olevon
