The annual Dramatic Club play
will be presented this year on the
night of April 30. Are you going?
Say , don 't miss it! It's going to be
a "wow." It was written by Ferenc
Molnar , author of Liliom , which me t
with great success on Broadway last
year. "Th e Swan " is one of Molnar's
best plays, pure comedy, partly of
manners and partly of romance. An
excellent plot, clever dialogu e, a variety of clearly individualize d characters, combine to make it one of the
most entertaining of recent plays.
It depicts a chapter in the life of
two royal families, which includes an
importan t incident in the life of Princess Alexandria , as she makes her
final decision between the tutor who
ordently loves her and whom for a
moment she thinks she loves and the
prince who offers her a throne. Her
wise uncle helps her to make a choice
—and "romance " goes big.
. The play is extremely entertaining
from beginning to end. It contains
delic ate sat ire and is, especially, a
characterization of a lonely young woman , who knows enough to "play
safe " and remain within the limitations that nature has set for her.
The chief characters are :

Princess Beatrice—Gertrude Baucher.
Symphonos a, her sister—Doroth y
Raupt.
Hyaci nt h , her brother—Archie Austin.
Alexandra , her daughter—Kathleen
Sommers.
George and Arsen, sons of the princess—Ned Raker and Haven
Fortner.
Dr. Hans Agi—Blake Stokos.
Prince Albert—Leo Moore,
Princess Marie Cominica—Mildre d
Rehm.
Colonel Wundenlich—Bill Swinehart.
The cast is an exceptionally good
one and under the capable direction
of Miss Johnston we feel it will be
the biggest ever. Everybody 's coming, are you?

"AMERICAN FOREST WEEK "
President" To Set Aaide Week of
April 24 to 30.

The Maroon and G old b a seball
squad will open the season here tomorrow with the Mining & Mechanical Institute of Freeland as their opponents. The visiting squad has a
snappy squad and have already met
and defeated their only two opponents thus far this season. Although
Coach Booth's boys haven 't met any
teams so far, they have shown that
they have the makings of a snappy
baseball club. The game tomorrow
will be a fast game between two evenly matched teams.
Coach Booth indicated that the
boys will give the fans as fast a grade
of ball as they have enjoyed in other
years.
Merely by ' letting his memory run
riot for a moment the average fan
can still get a potent kick from a review of the mighty struggle the squad
fought last year. In the expressive
manner i t was "some team " and this
year 's outfi t is still better. It will
be a gloriou s baseball season tha t w ill
get under way tomorrow when the
game which will open the season is
started by the stentorian voice of the
umpire.
Although the squad has not yet
been defini tely picked , it is probable
that it will be composed of the following: Catchers—Joe Bradshaw (Captain ), George Janell and Piggy Swinehar t; Pitchers—Evans, Ba m ford ,
Fritz and Roan ; First Basemen—McGrath and Austin ; Second Basemen—
Coursen , Slusser and Kraynack ; Third
Basemen—Wadas and Layelle ; Outfielders—Garrity, Rushin , Vital , Hidlay, Yarashefski.
As Coach Booth has not yet revealed the full scope of the fruit
borne by his early efforts , it is thought
that seven of last year 's stars will be
on the field. Joe Bradshaw, Ruthian
thumper and back stop guardian , will
act as field captain of the team. The
least that can be said of Joe is that
he knows his "stuff." Red Garrity,
the fleet fly chaser, has also entered
the field. McGrath and Austin, who
also made themselves known last year
by their all-around playing, will be
clad in a Maroon and Gold outfit.
The baseball schedule :
Saturday, A p r il 9, M. M. I.—Here.
Saturday, April 28, Keystone Academy—Here.
Saturday, April 30, East Stroudsburg

BILLY BROOKHART'S VOICE

Spring came to our campus,
Last night when we were asleep ;
The snow had gone and melted ,
And I liked the difference a heap !

Now , Billy Brookhart had a voice

The birds perched high in the treetops
And contribu ted their j oy too!
They lif ted their songs to the heavens,
And marvelled at the wondrous hue !

So Billy in his newest clo thes
Stood up before the crowd,
To sing for them an old school song
He felt quite grand and proud.

Of very lovely tone.
And at a chapel exercise
W as ask'ed to sing alone.

He coughed a bi t; arranged his tie,
And then threw out his chest;
They had returned in the night,
While the ambitious students slept ! But when he sang the first few lines,
A few members of science saw them, He quite forgo t the rest.
While fai thful watch they kept !
Then in his frenzy, dropped his book,
And grew confused and red.
And they were much rewarded,
He tried to sing the missing words,
These int erested science men ;
That were not in his head.
And they were very busy
With glasses, and notebooks and pen.
He reached his book , 'twas upside
down ,
And oh , the color of the grass,—
And that was loss of time.
The rich, light green hue—
Then in a very squeaky voice
It's a very fi tting carpet
He sang another line.
For the ceiling of blue !
Bu t there he stopped; no more would
The robin loves the carpet,
come ,
The carpe t of ligh t green hue;
He
smiled
bu t was not gay.
And he scurries abou t on it s surfa c e ,
The
boys
and
girls all laughed at him,
And sings to me and you !
So Billy ran away.
We 're mighty glad spring has return- Now , just a tip, my school-ma tes dear,
ed;
When you must speak or sing,
We were most afraid it forgot !
Just learn your part well at the start.
Will you agree it's the loveliest sea- No book you 'll need to bring.

GOOD DOPE

OUR TRUST HAS BROKEN
It is so easy to say "Good-bye," so

Until I raise my eyes to yours and
lo! they both are wet !
Until I touch your smooth soft hair

And see your lashes curling up when
you are looking down.
Until your dear mouth trembles, just
Because I am not worth your trust.
We move along these old sweet paths
where firs t we met and knew
That you were made for loving me
and I for loving you.
The fu ture stretches on and on—a
black eternity.
Wherein the only happiness is in fond
memory
And we must meet as strangers , j ust
Because you have betrayed my trust.
If you had loved as much as I, or I

Or had we loved a lit tle less, would

Or had we no t idealized t hat love , too

BANKING LAW
George W. Edwans Points Out Man y
Important Things About Law.

MAY 13

Dr. Russell gave a lengthy examination in a course in Geography at
the end of t he firs t semes ter in which
the fi n al . question was "An elderly
gentleman desires to tour South
America. Arrange a tour for him that
will t ake him to the mos t in ter est ing
spots and will enable him to avoid the
rainy season. "
Banghart arrived at this question
j ust five minutes before the examination period ended and hurriedly conducted the "elderly gentleman " down
the coast as far as Rio. Then looking
at his watch he discovered that the
examination period had ended and instantly terminated the proposed tour
with the Statement, "He can go to
Hades from here ; it's eleven o 'clock."

In many States banking laws have,
been more favorable to banks than
the Federal Reserve System has been.
Hence , National Banks have been giving up their charters and withdrawing from the Federal Reserve System
in order to avail themselves of greater privileges. To check such procedure and to put State and National
Banks on a more nearly equal basis,
the McFadden-Pepper Banking Law
was passed. This will permit National banks to establish one branch in
cities of between 25, 000 and 50 ,000
popula tion , two in cities between 50,000 and 100 ,000 popula tion , while in
cities of more than 100,000 there may
be as many branches as the Controller
of Currency sees fit to authorize.
—B. S. N. S.—
George W. Edwards, Professor of
Banking in Nsw York University,
points out other important things
about the law. He states that :

Now comes flittering across the
college campus that inspiring atmos.
phere of Spring that rends the souls
of unbarbered bards and causes them
to wreak violent crimes with pen and

of W ebst er 's Unabridged, all in the
name of Spring.
Yes , Spring, to use reverse gear
upon a popular slogan advertising a
well known upholstering fluid for
bald plates is "coming, coming,
come!" Upon the campus does this
vernal intoxication bubble and burble
while it's reeling victims celebrate in
parliamentary order the demise of galoshes, wool sox and Vic 's salve.

sewing bee. Collegiate flivvers that
all winter long have snowily hibernated in a state of airless tiredom are
now being sketchi\y adorned in new
and weird chromatic effects that
would make a Normal landscape looklike a Susquehanna fog. Vendors of
Campus clothing are drinking strong

along creek upon Class 3, Pisces,
which is known to anyone as LaLb

In fraternity houses the call of
Spring brings cheers and tears. Luckless freshmen view with alarm the
growth of grass while "workout" committees oil up the lawn mower. Agonizing pleas are made for waxing of

TO THE EDITOR
r Edi t or :

have been interested during 1 the
• in the articles which appeared
he Maroon and Gold about tsc
a-curricular activities at this NorSchool. It was gratifying to see
well the students appreciated
value of such activities.
here have been many favorable
men ts of late concerning the imrements of the School. This was
mrce of pleasure to me. Much
been said abou t the improved phyI plant, the better organization ei
faculty and student body, and
more efficien t administra t ion of
en tire school. It is true that such
rovements have been made. How•, they are only means to an end.
aim and purpose of the Bloomsr State Normal School during the
four years has really been the
:lopmen t of high standards and
li o± manhood and womanhosd,
the attainment of which practice
er than preaching has at all times
1 stressed. The School has preed knowing and doing to knowing
le, and has striven at all times to
to knowing on the part of the
lent while engaged in doing,
[any school activities have been
1 as means of developing habits,
•acter and commendable personal
ts. The chapel exercises may be
d as an illustration. These have
1 placed in charge of the students,
have prepared programs, read the
e, led the singing, made announceits, etc. The administration of the
iieal artist course has been used
i means of teaching the students
duties of an usher, the distribuof programs, the sale of tickets,
responsibili ty for pleasant recitthe way to secure artists, etc.

'he publication of the school paper
been another instrument for eduing students. The editor-in-chief ,
ointed by the faculty, has selected
staff. The staff has prepared and
ted the material. In fact, it has
n wholly responsible for the suci of the paper.
'he various social functions of the
ool have formed excellent means
the development of habits,* charer , conduct and personal traits.
sy have been kept informal and
ural . Through them the students
c learned how to conduct them'os in larger groups. It is^well that
'lonts, while in training, learn to
ort themselves at such functions,
lunce with proper decorum , to preproper dancing to dancing that is
proper , to meet temptations and
fivorcomo obstacles. The presence
the teachers, who attend such
etions has added to thoir enjoyL'noss and value.
n addition to larger reception ,
'Lies and dances, there havo been
iillor gatherings, such as birthday
tioa , meetings of high school clubs ,
sororities , of fraternities, otc. Tho
W. C. A. has had receptions; stiulh havo mot by curriculum groups,

to teach prospective teachers how to
conduct athletics. This is commendable , for some of t he st uden t s ma y
wish to carry on such activities as
teachers in service.
The publica tion of the school annual has taugh t students how to guide
their pupils in the future in the publication of such annuals.
The tables in the dining hall have
been used for educative purposes,
too. The seatings have been changed , new acquaintances have been
made. The students have learned
thereby how to meet each other, and
become acquain ted with a variety of
people.
There have been gatherings each
Sunday af ternoon in the lobby, as
well as in the evenings during the
week , all of which have taugh t students social behavior and the worthy
use of leisure.
Yours sincerely ,
G. C. L. Riemer.

JAMEISON HEADS TENNIS TEAM

MUSIC APPRECIATION CLUB

Has Two Years of Varsity Experience
and is Well Qualified.

Old Club Members Held Iniation For
New Members.

Evere tt Jameison , cap tain
of
Bloorasburg 's 1927 Tennis Team ia
well qualified for the position. "Jamie " is a gradua te of Scranton Central
High School. He had two years of
Varsity experience while in that institution as he played the court gamo
during his last two years. In his Senior year at Central, he was elected
cap tain of the tennis team. He attained the honor of leading a team
that did not suffer defeat for two seasons. This is a remarkable feat, for
it shows the calibre of the team that
"Jamie " captained.
At the time Jameison entered
Bloomsburg, tennis was a favorable
sport, as the school con tained plenty
of good material for a team , but lacked in organization.
Last year was the first that Bloomsburg was represented with a team
from .this sport since 1921. A team
was organized to play Wyoming Seminary and other schools. The team
was composed of Captain Bob Sutliff , Gilbert Morgans, Ben Lewis and
Jameison. This team made a wonderful showing in that it went through
the season undef eated. "Jami e" contributed his share to this record and
did it so effectientl y that as a r esul t,
he was chosen captain of this year 's
team.
The organiza tion of this year 's
Maroon and Gold team will soon take
place. Mr. Reams will take care of
the coaching end of it and with
"Ja mie " in the helm , together with
the 'excellent material we have,
Bloomsburg should have as good a
team as last year s, if not better.

The Mu sic Appreciation Club has
continued this semester with its work.
The early part of the semester has
been devoted to the study of the life
and works of Beethoven.
At a recent meeting the old club
members held an iniation for the new
members in the form of an April Fool
party. The first part of the program
was given over to the study of Schubert. Miss Sands entertained us with
several of Schubert's songs. The second part of the program consisted of
an iniation and lively games. Later
refr eshments were served, much t o
the enj oyment of our grandmother.
