St. Thomas '
College Wins
At Artis ts Course
Constitution Ente rtains Stude nts
The la,nky veterans of St. Thomas
College who have been winning renown on the court throughout this
section met and defeated the Maroon
and Gold Cagers at Scranton on Friday evening.
The score was 52 to 52 in St. Thomas'
favor but the score does not indicate
how hard fought the game- really was.
Altho outscored in the final period,
our team gave a good account of themselves in the initial period. Thruout
this period, Coach Booth's proteges
outplayed the Scranton boys. It was
due to the lack of an adequate de'tense, that St. Thomas scored so many
points. Our offense was the best that
our boys put up this season but without a defense they could not keep the
St. Thomas team from scoring, St.
Thomas scored 24 times from the field
while Bloomsburg scored but 11.
Kirker led the scoring for the locals
with eight points, while Kelly and Kilhulen were the high scorers for St.
Thomas. Van Buskirk and Garrity
-ilayed a fine game for the locals.
Hundreds of students and Alumni
j ourneyed to Scranton to witness the
contest and the old "Town Hall" was
filled with cheers at all times. After
the game the boys enj oyed dancing to
the music of Don Gregory 's imperial
ten .
VARSITY HUM BLES BUCKNELL
Taking an early lead, Varsity defeated the strong Bucknell Prosh team
39 to 30 in a game that was replete
vith thrills here Saturday.
Bloomsburg opened scoring when
Wadas tossed a field goal and after the
first few minutes of the game started
piling up a lead that had become ten
points as the first half closed. The
score was 24 to 14.
Bucknell started a savage bombardment of the Bloomsburg basket when
play resumed and at times narrowed
down the home five 's lead to six or
seven points but never did they seriously threaten.
Nick VanBuskirk with his accurate
shooting from the side of the court
snared seven field goals, five of them
In the first half to lead the field in
scoring. Wadas , Bloomsburg forward ,
played a brilliant game in the first
half until ho was removed after three
personal fouls were called on him.
Three players were ruled out on personals fouls. They were Yacabonis
and Captain McGrath , of Bloomsburg,
and Thompson , of the visitors.
It was the first home game for

The wliole emphasis in all of Mr.
Kennedy 's plays is placed upon the
plays themselves and not upon the
stage setting. The play will last about an hour and three quarters, and
is modern in all respects, dealing with
a problem of world importance in
simple language. The cast of characters

GIRLS SORRY TO LOSE
MISS STAUFFER
When the girls were told of Miss
Stauffer 's illness at a meeting last
week they were very sorry. We are
very sure that she did all she could
both for the girls and the college as a
whole during the short stay that she
had here. She was very anxious to
form a constitution and appointed
certain committees to talk matters
over and help her but for some reason
or other the constitution was not
presented to the student body. We
hope that it will be presented in the
near future as we certainly do need it.
We hope that our new dean will be
as nice to us as Miss Stauffer was and
wish Miss Stauffer a speedy recovery.
For the time being we think that
Miss Ransom and Miss Sands can
fulfill her place and perform the duties
which Miss Stauffer has hitherto performed.
Very soon aft er the opening of
school in the fall, a committee was
called together by Miss Stauffer to
draw up a student government constitution. This committee was made up
from representatives from each class
In the school.
The girls elected Esther Lloyd as
chairman and under the guidance of
Miss Stauffer, worked for several
weeks upon a constitution which they
thought would be suitable to govern
the school. When this was completed
it was sent to several people who are
authorities on such documents, for
their approval .
The boys have also drawn up a similar constitution under the guidance of
Mr. Koch.
At the present time the two Constitutions are in the hands of a committee composed of members of the faculty who are endeavoring to formulate one constitution that will serve
both men and women dormatories to
a good advantage.
The illness of Miss Stauffer has
caused a delay in getting the constitution ready for use, but at the beginning of the second semester, next
month, it is hoped that it may be
adopted and put into working order.

ART EXHIBIT CLOSES
The sixteenth art exhibit of the
Senior class has been brought to a
successful close. Scores of student"
and patrons of the school took ad
vantage of this opportunity to view the
copies of the world great masterpieces.
A neat sum was realized for the
picture fund. This fund is used exclusively for the purchase of worthwhile pictures for the College walls.
The Senior Class and its advisor in
this project, Mr. Bakeless, wish to express their appreciation to those who
contributed to the success of the exhibit.

The story is about a boy and a black
bear. One day four boys were out
camping and the three boys were hunting and the boy that was left at home
to watch the camp watched it faith- ii
f u lly, when he heard a twig crack and
saw that the bear was coming after
him. And he started to run as fast as
he could run till he reached his broth- I
ers and told them and they went back
to the camp and the bear was gone. i

JAMTLAND
ST. THOMAS COLLEGE WINS
There is a land, a far land,
A land my soul would know.
It is a good land , a fair land
Where sparkling streamlets flow.
Between blue hills and mountains
Whose tips are white with snow,
But green , bright green, the valleys
Shine in the sun below.
But short, though bright, is summer
In these high latitudes,
For Jamtland lies in Sweden
Where Nature 's softer moods
Are waited for with longing,
Yet she almost deludes
The poor inhabitants with
Her warm and Spring-like moods.
The winter there is joy;
The snow falls ten feet deep ;
The men get out their snowshoes;
The children laugh and leap ;
The babies lie in cradles
Fur-lined, and sleep and sleep;
The snowbirds git on tree limbs
And nod, and wink, and cheep.
But when the Spring comes singing,
Then each must plow his fields
And plant his oats and barley ;
Each in the harvest wields
His sickle or his cradle,
And three short months thus yields
A goodly crop of black-bread ,
The cold to help men shield.
And so life goes a-swinging
Beneath the Arctic's reign,
In that fair land, that far land
From whence of old the Dane
Came down to meet the ocean
And harass all the main,
To build his ships of fir trees
And sail the seas past Spain.
To sail the blue mid-ocean
And find beyond a land,
A land unnamed, aye nameless;
To step upon its sand
Unhar.med, and call it Vinland.
They were a mighty band
Of heroes fair and stately
Who firs t gazed on this land.
My ancestors too came from
That land which heroes made,
A land with rivers flowing
Into clear lakes embayed
With surface softly rippled
By zephers nymph arrayed.
Did I say nymph ? 'twere better
If they in Greece had stayed.
Here trolls, and knomes , and pixies,
The fairies of the North ,
Would scare all light-hearted creatures
Who dared to venture forth .
I want to walk the barrens
Where trolls have wandered forth ;
Perhaps I might catch a few
In Jamtland of the North.

St. Thomas '
College Wins
At Artis ts Course
Constitution Ente rtains Stude nts
The la,nky veterans of St. Thomas
College who have been winning renown on the court throughout this
section met and defeated the Maroon
and Gold Cagers at Scranton on Friday evening.
The score was 52 to 52 in St. Thomas'
favor but the score does not indicate
how hard fought the game- really was.
Altho outscored in the final period,
our team gave a good account of themselves in the initial period. Thruout
this period, Coach Booth's proteges
outplayed the Scranton boys. It was
due to the lack of an adequate de'tense, that St. Thomas scored so many
points. Our offense was the best that
our boys put up this season but without a defense they could not keep the
St. Thomas team from scoring, St.
Thomas scored 24 times from the field
while Bloomsburg scored but 11.
Kirker led the scoring for the locals
with eight points, while Kelly and Kilhulen were the high scorers for St.
Thomas. Van Buskirk and Garrity
-ilayed a fine game for the locals.
Hundreds of students and Alumni
j ourneyed to Scranton to witness the
contest and the old "Town Hall" was
filled with cheers at all times. After
the game the boys enj oyed dancing to
the music of Don Gregory 's imperial
ten .
VARSITY HUM BLES BUCKNELL
Taking an early lead, Varsity defeated the strong Bucknell Prosh team
39 to 30 in a game that was replete
vith thrills here Saturday.
Bloomsburg opened scoring when
Wadas tossed a field goal and after the
first few minutes of the game started
piling up a lead that had become ten
points as the first half closed. The
score was 24 to 14.
Bucknell started a savage bombardment of the Bloomsburg basket when
play resumed and at times narrowed
down the home five 's lead to six or
seven points but never did they seriously threaten.
Nick VanBuskirk with his accurate
shooting from the side of the court
snared seven field goals, five of them
In the first half to lead the field in
scoring. Wadas , Bloomsburg forward ,
played a brilliant game in the first
half until ho was removed after three
personal fouls were called on him.
Three players were ruled out on personals fouls. They were Yacabonis
and Captain McGrath , of Bloomsburg,
and Thompson , of the visitors.
It was the first home game for

GIRLS SORRY TO LOSE
MISS STAUFFER
When the girls were told of Miss
Stauffer 's illness at a meeting last
week they were very sorry. We are
very sure that she did all she could
both for the girls and the college as a
whole during the short stay that she
had here. She was very anxious to
form a constitution and appointed
certain committees to talk matters
over and help her but for some reason
or other the constitution was not
presented to the student body. We
hope that it will be presented in the
near future as we certainly do need it.
We hope that our new dean will be
as nice to us as Miss Stauffer was and
wish Miss Stauffer a speedy recovery.
For the time being we think that
Miss Ransom and Miss Sands can
fulfill her place and perform the duties
which Miss Stauffer has hitherto performed.
Very soon aft er the opening of
school in the fall, a committee was
called together by Miss Stauffer to
draw up a student government constitution. This committee was made up
from representatives from each class
In the school.
The girls elected Esther Lloyd as
chairman and under the guidance of
Miss Stauffer, worked for several
weeks upon a constitution which they
thought would be suitable to govern
the school. When this was completed
it was sent to several people who are
authorities on such documents, for
their approval .
The boys have also drawn up a similar constitution under the guidance of
Mr. Koch.
At the present time the two Constitutions are in the hands of a committee composed of members of the faculty who are endeavoring to formulate one constitution that will serve
both men and women dormatories to
a good advantage.
The illness of Miss Stauffer has
caused a delay in getting the constitution ready for use, but at the beginning of the second semester, next
month, it is hoped that it may be
adopted and put into working order.

A neat sum was realized for the

The Senior Class and its advisor in
this project, Mr. Bakeless, wish to express their appreciation to those who
contributed to the success of the exhibit.

to watch the camp watched it faith- ii
f u lly, when he heard a twig crack and
saw that the bear was coming after
him. And he started to run as fast as
he could run till he reached his broth- I

to the camp and the bear was gone. i

JAMTLAND
ST. THOMAS COLLEGE WINS
There is a land, a far land,
A land my soul would know.
It is a good land , a fair land
Where sparkling streamlets flow.
Between blue hills and mountains
Whose tips are white with snow,
But green , bright green, the valleys
Shine in the sun below.
But short, though bright, is summer
In these high latitudes,
For Jamtland lies in Sweden
Where Nature 's softer moods
Are waited for with longing,
Yet she almost deludes
The poor inhabitants with
Her warm and Spring-like moods.
The winter there is joy;
The snow falls ten feet deep ;
The men get out their snowshoes;
The children laugh and leap ;
The babies lie in cradles
Fur-lined, and sleep and sleep;
The snowbirds git on tree limbs
And nod, and wink, and cheep.
But when the Spring comes singing,
Then each must plow his fields
And plant his oats and barley ;
Each in the harvest wields
His sickle or his cradle,
And three short months thus yields
A goodly crop of black-bread ,
The cold to help men shield.
And so life goes a-swinging
Beneath the Arctic's reign,
In that fair land, that far land
From whence of old the Dane
Came down to meet the ocean
And harass all the main,
To build his ships of fir trees
And sail the seas past Spain.
To sail the blue mid-ocean
And find beyond a land,
A land unnamed, aye nameless;
To step upon its sand
Unhar.med, and call it Vinland.
They were a mighty band
Of heroes fair and stately
Who firs t gazed on this land.
My ancestors too came from
That land which heroes made,
A land with rivers flowing
Into clear lakes embayed
With surface softly rippled
By zephers nymph arrayed.
Did I say nymph ? 'twere better
If they in Greece had stayed.
Here trolls, and knomes , and pixies,
The fairies of the North ,
Would scare all light-hearted creatures
Who dared to venture forth .
I want to walk the barrens
Where trolls have wandered forth ;
Perhaps I might catch a few
In Jamtland of the North.
