Nicely Observed
Book week is an educational movement which engages the attention of
all who are seeking to encourage a love
of books among boys and girls. It was
originated in 1919 by the American Library Association, the Boy Scouts of
America and associated publishers, and
was first sailed 'Children's Book Week*
but later changed to "Book Week," because so many high schools wished to
take part with the elementary grades.
The aim of these organizations in
sponsoring Book Week is not merely to
have an impressive demonstration for
seven days but to make the week the
dramatic start of year-round community interest in and responsibility for
young people's reading.
The. boy or girl who reads easily and
happily lias within his reach great
realms of information and recreation
which eouM never otherwise be his.
"Many times the reading of a book
has made the future of a man," said
Emerson.
Children's Book Week will probably
before parents, educators an d ever y one
concerned with the welfare of children
the importance of cultivating in children that most precious of all gifts—
the reading habit, and to offer guidance in th e selection of books f or boys
and girls.
Children's Book Wee kwill probably
always stand out as the most important activity in any year-round program
promoting children's reading. The leading newspapers of Kentucky published
articles and editorials on the purpose
of Children's Book Week and gave programs of local clubs. Slides, advertising the Week , were shown in many motion picture shows. The National As-
sociation of Book Publishers sent each
club an attractive poster. Other posters were obtained from the National
Child Welfare Association and some
were made in the local communities.
There were many splendid displays of
good books for children and talks in
connection with them. In some cases,
the clubs obtained these displays as
leans from bookstores and sold the
books.
The kiddies of grades four , five and
six of our own Training School have
observed it partly in the writing of
the following book reviews. 'Tis but a
glimpse into the future for better readers of better literature. Book week has
a definite goal,—and these children
have aided in the winning of that goal.
Van—"Have you ever loved before?"
Faby—"No , I have ofton admired
men for their strength , courage, good
looks, or intelligence , but with you it
is all lovo, nothing else."
Upper classmen scored two touchdowns in the first halt Monday afternoon to defeat the Bloomsburg Teachers' College Freshmen 13 to 0 in the annual inter-class game.
The Frosh eleven came back strong
in the second half and outplayed their
opponents but it was too late to overcome the early lead piled up against
them.
Vital scored the first touchdown in
the opening period when he blocked a
punt and fell on the ball over the goal
line. In the second quarter "Short"
Edmunds received a forward pass and
carried it over the goal line. He made
the extra point by forward. Bobby Wilson, former High School star, threw
both passes.
While there was some humor in the
contest it was on t h e wh ole a goo d
game of football with some of the players showing ability that would aid the
school varsity squad. Welliver, Freshman capta in , played a fine game for
his team. "Hook" Merrick was the
Freshman coach.

WEEK-END PARTY
A week-end party was given in honor of Emily Zydonowicz, guest of Elinor Zydonowicz. Those present were:
Helen Ferry, Mary Storosko, Sophie
Makarczyk, Emma Hibian , Alice James
and Elinor Zydonowicz. Refreshments
of sandwiches, olives, pickles, pie, cake,
cocoa, etc., were served. Readings
were given by Helen Perry and Alice
James. Elinor Zydonowicz gave ukulele selections. Sophie Makarczyk sang
several songs, after which Mary Storosko and Emma Hibian entertained
with a dancing exhibition. Every one
felt that the evening was well spent.
It has been a successful season for
the ' Dark Blue" Hockey Team. They
fought most determinedly through a
whole season to win the honor of championship. Their last game against the
"Gold" showed them to be invincib.e.
Seely, Ferry, Wonsavage, Storosko, and
Miller never lost a minute's time when
following up the ball. Stauffer, Eadie,
and Rabuck showed similar spirit in
defending their goal. Depper, Viety,
Van Buskirk, and Ross were always
ready to receive the ball when it came
their way. On Thursday, November 10,
this fighting team played their final
Junior game against the "Gold" Team
and won with a score of 5-3. The lineup was as follows :

MU PHI SIGMA PARTY
One of the remarkable collections of
music to be found anywhere in America is the library of the Brahms Quartet which will appear here at Bloomsburg Teachers College this
evening. Noted musicologists have expressed their astonishment and admiration after examining this noteworthy
collection of music for women's voices,
which is probably without an equal in
this country. That there is a rich mine
of material practically unknown to the
musicale public might have been suspected, but not even the founders or
the quartet were aware of the great extent of this treasure until after their
work of assembling the library had
reached an advanced stage. The Italian composers of the 17th Century, the
old English madrigalists, and particularly the German masters of the Romantic School proved the richest territory for these ardent musical explorers.
The result of all this labor was to
bring to light a wealth of music which has been lying fallow for many years,
and consequently the programs of the
Brahms Quartette are especially fascinating to musicians and music lovers
whose taste rejects the commonplace
and hacknayed.
In addition to the great library of
music originally written for women's
voices, t h e repertoire of th e f amous
quartette is constantly being enlarged
by the addition of arrangements made
by leading composers. Especially to be
noted are the numbers from the folk*,
music of Italy, France, England, Scotland and America, many of which have
been arranged especially for tnb
Brahms Quartette by Deems Taylor,
Harry T. Burleigh and others.
The Quartette consists of Claribel
Banks and Louise Osborne , sopranos,
and Nancy Hitch and Elinor Markey,
contraltos.

you ? said the waiter to the man at
our hero's left. Bloody, red, raw, juicy,
said the third. Then there was a silence as the question was put to our
own Readier. The crowd was astonished as Lloyd said, "Bring in the cow
and I'll cut off my own chunks."

"BLOOMSBURG PLAYERS"
DINNER PARTY
The "Bloomsburg Players'", better
known as the Dramatic Club, held their
first meeting of the year on Sept. 29.
As this is the fourth year of organization of the club, it did not take long
to get down to business. At this first
meeting arrangements were made for
admitting new members. New standards were set because cf the new extra-curricular activity requirements.
The _ constitution was changed slightly .
On October 13 the old custom of
having a one act play each meeting—
the members of the cast and the director of the play, being members of the
club—was renewed. "Goodnite" was
presented with Ruth Hildebrand taking the part of "Babs" and Haven
Fortner taking the part of "Jack". The
scene was laid on a front porch where
the "Boy " and "Girl" were saying
goodnite after a dance. Karleen Hoffman was the director.
On Oct. 27, there were selected nominees for the offices of vice-president
and secretary. It is a custom to have
these officers selected from the new
members. Marguerite Dermody was
elected to the former office and Mary
Walsh to the latter.
On Oct. 6 members of the Bloomsburg High School Alumni who are
members of the club, presented a practice performance of "Thursday Evening " by Christopher Morley. The cast
was: Mrs. Goodman, Charlotte Mears;
Mr. Goodmaji, Armand Keller; Mothers-in-law, Karleen Hoffman, and Mildred Ream. This play was given in
the high school the following Friday
at their chapel hour and much favorable criticism was heard from both
faculty members and students.
On Oct. 30 "The Finger Bowls and
Ariminta" by Harry Hamilton was given. The cast was : Ariminta, an old
maid, Betty Colby; Roxy, her servant,
Alice Pennington; Mrs. Weaver, a Ladies Aid member, Frieda Bahler ; Sofia ,
another member, Helen Jenker; Fan,
Mrs. Weaver's daughter , Maudrue
O'Cormell.

reward as winners of the Junior Hockey Championship when they participated in a delicious dinner served in
the dining room Friday, November 11.
The table was tastefully decorated in
dark blue crepe paper. In the center
was a hockey stick bearing, two blue
bows. The chairs received the same
attention. From the center to the edge
of the table were large streamers of
red, white and blue, reminders of the
holiday. Napkins were also of blue.
Mary Storosko "propoged" the toast
wishing continued success to her teammates for the coming season. "Mel"
Wonsavage gave a touch of reverence
and affection to the occasion when
she sang that memorable song, "Just
for Remembrance". Helen Ferry surprised the audience with an amusing
reading §ntitl§d "Bridget Q'Flynn ",
The party broke up after the singing
of the "Alma Mater " and "The National Anthem".

Nicely Observed
Book week is an educational movement which engages the attention of
all who are seeking to encourage a love
of books among boys and girls. It was
originated in 1919 by the American Library Association, the Boy Scouts of
America and associated publishers, and
was first sailed 'Children's Book Week*
but later changed to "Book Week," because so many high schools wished to
take part with the elementary grades.
The aim of these organizations in
sponsoring Book Week is not merely to
have an impressive demonstration for
seven days but to make the week the
dramatic start of year-round community interest in and responsibility for
young people's reading.
The. boy or girl who reads easily and
happily lias within his reach great
realms of information and recreation
which eouM never otherwise be his.
"Many times the reading of a book
has made the future of a man," said
Emerson.
Children's Book Week will probably
before parents, educators an d ever y one
concerned with the welfare of children
the importance of cultivating in children that most precious of all gifts—
the reading habit, and to offer guidance in th e selection of books f or boys
and girls.
Children's Book Wee kwill probably
always stand out as the most important activity in any year-round program
promoting children's reading. The leading newspapers of Kentucky published
articles and editorials on the purpose
of Children's Book Week and gave programs of local clubs. Slides, advertising the Week , were shown in many motion picture shows. The National As-
sociation of Book Publishers sent each
club an attractive poster. Other posters were obtained from the National
Child Welfare Association and some
were made in the local communities.
There were many splendid displays of
good books for children and talks in
connection with them. In some cases,
the clubs obtained these displays as
leans from bookstores and sold the
books.
The kiddies of grades four , five and
six of our own Training School have
observed it partly in the writing of
the following book reviews. 'Tis but a
glimpse into the future for better readers of better literature. Book week has
a definite goal,—and these children
have aided in the winning of that goal.
Van—"Have you ever loved before?"
Faby—"No , I have ofton admired
men for their strength , courage, good
looks, or intelligence , but with you it
is all lovo, nothing else."
Upper classmen scored two touchdowns in the first halt Monday afternoon to defeat the Bloomsburg Teachers' College Freshmen 13 to 0 in the annual inter-class game.
The Frosh eleven came back strong
in the second half and outplayed their
opponents but it was too late to overcome the early lead piled up against
them.
Vital scored the first touchdown in
the opening period when he blocked a
punt and fell on the ball over the goal
line. In the second quarter "Short"
Edmunds received a forward pass and
carried it over the goal line. He made
the extra point by forward. Bobby Wilson, former High School star, threw
both passes.
While there was some humor in the
contest it was on t h e wh ole a goo d
game of football with some of the players showing ability that would aid the
school varsity squad. Welliver, Freshman capta in , played a fine game for
his team. "Hook" Merrick was the
Freshman coach.

WEEK-END PARTY
A week-end party was given in honor of Emily Zydonowicz, guest of Elinor Zydonowicz. Those present were:
Helen Ferry, Mary Storosko, Sophie
Makarczyk, Emma Hibian , Alice James
and Elinor Zydonowicz. Refreshments
of sandwiches, olives, pickles, pie, cake,
cocoa, etc., were served. Readings
were given by Helen Perry and Alice
James. Elinor Zydonowicz gave ukulele selections. Sophie Makarczyk sang
several songs, after which Mary Storosko and Emma Hibian entertained
with a dancing exhibition. Every one
felt that the evening was well spent.
It has been a successful season for
the ' Dark Blue" Hockey Team. They
fought most determinedly through a
whole season to win the honor of championship. Their last game against the
"Gold" showed them to be invincib.e.
Seely, Ferry, Wonsavage, Storosko, and
Miller never lost a minute's time when
following up the ball. Stauffer, Eadie,
and Rabuck showed similar spirit in
defending their goal. Depper, Viety,
Van Buskirk, and Ross were always
ready to receive the ball when it came
their way. On Thursday, November 10,
this fighting team played their final
Junior game against the "Gold" Team
and won with a score of 5-3. The lineup was as follows :

MU PHI SIGMA PARTY
One of the remarkable collections of
music to be found anywhere in America is the library of the Brahms Quartet which will appear here at Bloomsburg Teachers College this
evening. Noted musicologists have expressed their astonishment and admiration after examining this noteworthy
collection of music for women's voices,
which is probably without an equal in
this country. That there is a rich mine
of material practically unknown to the
musicale public might have been suspected, but not even the founders or
the quartet were aware of the great extent of this treasure until after their
work of assembling the library had
reached an advanced stage. The Italian composers of the 17th Century, the
old English madrigalists, and particularly the German masters of the Romantic School proved the richest territory for these ardent musical explorers.
The result of all this labor was to
bring to light a wealth of music which has been lying fallow for many years,
and consequently the programs of the
Brahms Quartette are especially fascinating to musicians and music lovers
whose taste rejects the commonplace
and hacknayed.
In addition to the great library of
music originally written for women's
voices, t h e repertoire of th e f amous
quartette is constantly being enlarged
by the addition of arrangements made
by leading composers. Especially to be
noted are the numbers from the folk*,
music of Italy, France, England, Scotland and America, many of which have
been arranged especially for tnb

The great Bloomsburg guard, Lloyd
Readier, was a special guest of honor
at the Wyoming Training table the
day of the Bloom-Wyoming game. How
would you like your meat? asked the
waiter of one of the enemy. Raw,
rumbled the giant Wyo guard. And
you? said the waiter to another. Red,
raw, said the huge tackle. How about
you ? said the waiter to the man at
our hero's left. Bloody, red, raw, juicy,
said the third. Then there was a silence as the question was put to our
own Readier. The crowd was astonished as Lloyd said, "Bring in the cow
and I'll cut off my own chunks."
I liked the whole story very much.

"BLOOMSBURG PLAYERS"
DINNER PARTY
The "Bloomsburg Players'", better
known as the Dramatic Club, held their
first meeting of the year on Sept. 29.
As this is the fourth year of organization of the club, it did not take long
to get down to business. At this first
meeting arrangements were made for
admitting new members. New standards were set because cf the new extra-curricular activity requirements.
The _ constitution was changed slightly .
On October 13 the old custom of
having a one act play each meeting—
the members of the cast and the director of the play, being members of the
club—was renewed. "Goodnite" was
presented with Ruth Hildebrand taking the part of "Babs" and Haven
Fortner taking the part of "Jack". The
scene was laid on a front porch where
the "Boy " and "Girl" were saying
goodnite after a dance. Karleen Hoffman was the director.
On Oct. 27, there were selected nominees for the offices of vice-president
and secretary. It is a custom to have
these officers selected from the new
members. Marguerite Dermody was
elected to the former office and Mary
Walsh to the latter.
On Oct. 6 members of the Bloomsburg High School Alumni who are
members of the club, presented a practice performance of "Thursday Evening " by Christopher Morley. The cast
was: Mrs. Goodman, Charlotte Mears;
Mr. Goodmaji, Armand Keller; Mothers-in-law, Karleen Hoffman, and Mildred Ream. This play was given in
the high school the following Friday
at their chapel hour and much favorable criticism was heard from both
faculty members and students.
On Oct. 30 "The Finger Bowls and
Ariminta" by Harry Hamilton was given. The cast was : Ariminta, an old
maid, Betty Colby; Roxy, her servant,
Alice Pennington; Mrs. Weaver, a Ladies Aid member, Frieda Bahler ; Sofia ,
another member, Helen Jenker; Fan,
Mrs. Weaver's daughter , Maudrue
O'Cormell.

The Dark Blue Hockey Team enj oyed the more tangible fruits of their
reward as winners of the Junior Hockey Championship when they participated in a delicious dinner served in
the dining room Friday, November 11.
The table was tastefully decorated in
dark blue crepe paper. In the center
was a hockey stick bearing, two blue
bows. The chairs received the same
attention. From the center to the edge
of the table were large streamers of
red, white and blue, reminders of the
holiday. Napkins were also of blue.
Mary Storosko "propoged" the toast
wishing continued success to her teammates for the coming season. "Mel"
Wonsavage gave a touch of reverence
and affection to the occasion when
she sang that memorable song, "Just
for Remembrance". Helen Ferry surprised the audience with an amusing
reading §ntitl§d "Bridget Q'Flynn ",
The party broke up after the singing
of the "Alma Mater " and "The National Anthem".
