The Pajama Parade
Great Night f or "Frosh 11
Extract for a Freshman 's diary September 12, 1928
"Had Freshman init iation to-night and
also "some time. " We held a pajama parade and took a "duckin g " . Wow! How nice.
But it all hap pens in a life-time.
On that memorab le evenin g, about fort y
green Freshmen were assembled in the lobby
of North Hall. They were bellowing an
appropriate ballad , written for the occasion
and en titled "How Green I Am " . 'Short y *
Edmunds direc ted th e singing and with the
except ion of several in t erru pt ions f r o m
' Frosh ' Stier and 'Frosh ' Taylor , i t w as fairl y

the frosh ).
A cer t ain "Frosh " Fetter had a sudden
cra ving to see a girl friend at Waller Hall
and Chief Marshal Kra ynack , led his " paj ama *d ones down to the court at long porc h ,
benea th the windows of the girls dormitory
like so man y "Romeos " . Bu t alas! the Juliets gave the would-be Valenti nos * a cool receptio n in the form of a deluge of wat er ,
(had it only been flower- pots) .
Chief Marshal Kra ynack , who , because of
his well ch osen armor , came unscra tched
throu gh the deluge , t hen led his t rou p e of
actors to the center of the ceremonial grounds
and the pro gra m was opened by "Frosh "
Stier and "Frosh " McFadden praying to
Allah. They thanked Allah for the blessing
the y had just received from the heavens and
prayed for more . They got it.
Frosh Johns was a tower of strength in

Dr. Wilson Speaks at Special Meeting
»
"
¦
¦
"
Dr. Wilson , the National Director of the
Juni or Red Cross , spoke at a specially called
meetin g of the College Tuesday, Septe mber
25. His topic was "The Objectives and
Aims of Education " . Under this broad title
he asked us to include all educatio n , not only
that of the school but of the playground ,
business , social life, etc.
He said that the most import ant thin g in
connection with any prepar ation is to discover the goal toward which one is strivin g,
find out what one is tr ying to do .what he is to
achieve. He said that the end , goal , aim , or
pur pose is the biggest thin g you can know
about any j ob. The difference between the
artisan teacher and the artistic teacher 'is in
the difference of degree in which the two are
grounded in the objectives , aims, and means
of attainin g those aims.
Different classes of people in your communities will expect you to accomplish widely differing ends as a teacher. One class will
expect you to train boys and girls to earn
their bread and butter. Another will want
you to drill their children upon the knowledge of the world , turn them into little encyclopedias. Another class, usually found at
Brid ge Parties and Pink Teas , will ask you
to brin g culture and refinement. Anoth er
group will mainta in that the purpose of the
school is formal training or discipline. No
one of these aims is enough. We need them
all and more to o.
The new idea or social view of the school
dates fro m about 1910, It is that we must
train all children accordin g to their ability to
meet all the situat ions that they will encounter in life. To do this they must train for:
1. Vocation
2. Citizenship
3. Leisur e
4. Health
5. Chara cter
conclusions. "Frosh " Robbins tore up some
t urf while digging for an idea , which esca p ed
him.
Some other features of the evening were
"Frosh " Warmon , telling the girls his whole
life 's histor y by serenadin g them with "Hallelujah! I' m a Bum. " "Frosh " Jenkins gave
a few lessons in soa p bubble blowin g to the
tune of "I' m Forever Blowing Bubbles. "
" Frosh " Litwhiler almost ended his own life
very suddenl y when , he attempted to play
"Taps " on his trum pet before the ceremonies were over. " Frosh " Fette r showed how
unrul y one freshman could be, when he imFor
media tely asked for a certain girl.
f reshmen t o even t hink of girls is t he mos t
horrible of viola tions , but he rendered "The
Evenin g Call " (not a newspaper but a song)
with a trumpet and he was forgiven. ' The
ceremonies ended with a grand rush ot stampede upon each other , (as freshmen always
do), and prayed for rain. Again the y were
obliged after some great portion of a cistern ,
had fallen upon them. , Chief Marsha l Kra ynack then led his willin g actors * to North
Hall and ended a never forgetful night, in
bed.

KEEPIN G FRESHMA N CUS TOMS
Every college and university has its certain
cherished traditions , which through the ages
of time, have fastened themselves by a thread
of college spirit to the life of that community. The thread used at Bloomsburg is that
unbreakable kind and consequently it is the
duty of every student whether he be old or
new, to see that Bloomsburg 's cherished and
characteristic traditions are observed and to
assist so that others shall do the same.
Whatever you found at this college when
you came is right; it is the tradition , and you
are asked nothing better than to live up to
that tradition regardless of how unnatural
that custom may seem to you.
Freshmen , remember, that when you enter
Bloomsburg you are considered a man. Be
honest with yourself and always keep in
mind the fact that you are here for a life
purpose.
Sometimes the freshmen rebels. Nine
times out of ten , he doesn 't rebel because he

(t^^^ V% v^B^Mf^^^ vt >4^^ v4 f^^^ BI)4B
The Store Where You Save Money
feels that the tradition is crushing his person*
ality; on the contrary he uses his rebellion to
expose his personality . He is so eager to
make an impression that he usually succeeds
in making himself look very foolish.
Now as to the freshmen dink. A freshman is very foolish , indeed , who does not
comply with the rules and wear his dink
properly because as a social creature he has
to accept many of the dictates of society
whether he likes them or not; and if he enters a new society, he has to accept its dictates until he has made himself a powerful
enough member to change what he doesn 't
like. The freshman dink is not a symbol of
the regimentation of souls that he asserted it
was; it is merely a custom , both acceptable
and pleasant to the majority . Therefore ,
freshman , remember that we are judged more
by what we do than by what we say. Wear
your freshman customs without trying to put
something over on the tribunal or the upper
classman before you have tested their virtues.

Prof. Albert , a m emb er of th e Bloom sburg
faculty for many years, spoke in Chapel on
Friday September 28. *
Prof. Albert spoke on the life of Francis
E. Willard and her work for prohibition.
Miss Willard wasiborn in America and gave
her entire life in combat with drink. It was
through her influence that the Women 's
Christian Temperance Union was organized.
In 1913 a jo int committee of the W. C. T.
U. and the Anti-Saloon League workers
went to Washington and asked for a law
against the use of intoxicating drinks. They
were not granted an answer to their plea but
were told to go to their states and ask for a
ballot for the law. If two thirds of the states
voted for it , Congress would then be ' willing
to grant their wish. "At that time there were
nine dry states and by 1919 there were th irty
six dry states. As a result we have our Federal Law against the manufacturing, sale or
giving away of intoxicating liquor.
Professor Albert stated that according to
responsible authorities the Prohibition Law
with all its shortcomings is the best enforced
law in America. All of this Prohibition
work is the result of the seed sown by one
woman , Francis E. Willard.
With the improvements which are being
made , comes the desire of all , that tlie college be kept as beautiful as it is being made.
Let us all cooperate in this. Just one little
pencil mark , one smear on the walls , will alter the appearanc e of an otherwise beautiful
room. Ink spilled on the newly-laid floors ,
will make them look as old as they did before being fixed.
Students , give your most hearty cooperation , and our college will stay as beautifu l as
it will be when all the improvements are
made.

Disraeli by Andre ' Mruvois
Is there any tale of the Thousand and
One Nights, any story of a cobbler made
Sultan that could match the picturesqueness of Disraeli's life ? Did he not realize
completely the dreams of that boy who lay
stretched out under th"e trees in the Italian garden listening to his grandp'apa 's
mandolin ?
Maurois' Disraeli is the record of a
stormy career, a life of vivid contrasts,
hopes fulfilled succeeded by crushing defea t s, overwhelming1 acclaim and thwarted
ambitions, friendships and animosities, triumphant leadership and coveted honors
that came too late to give peace to a tempestuous, storm-ridden spirit .
Wintersmoon by Hugh Walpole
Winstermoon was the house in all England . . . . with its history and stories and
tradition and colour . .. .the country house
of generati ons of title/;! families, the soul
of ?11 that England stands for.
It was to Wintersmoon that Janet
Grandison wentherwhen she married
Lord
life a part of the back Poo'e to m^k^
ground and tradition of the English aris,
tCCiTC".
Against this background pass many
characters and many events : Janet ,
whose bvp . is all for her sister Rosalind ;
Wildhcrn. her husband, and his devotion to
the r,">n Jane'1; b^ars him ; Rosalind , beauti ful , young, clever, and a little hard ; her
adoring lover and his tragedy ; the aging
and trnnricus Duke and Duchess ; and the
world of social England which no one
knows rnd revrals as Hugh Walpole, in
such books as Wintersmoon and the Duchess of Wrexe.
The interwpaving and development of
these lives makes a novel now dramatic,
now fV^p^almT, now charming—and alway s
a novel of distinction , power, and permanence.
Back of War by Henry Kitti edge Norton
This bock connects the living forces of
world politics with the springs of war . It
gets at the roots of international disputes
in a way that makes them understandable.
It dissects war and lays bare the forces
which must be overcome b3fore lasting
peace car. be established.
Back of War is of interest not alone to
the student of international affairs, it is
written for American citizens—the men
and women whose decisions have suddenly
become the most important factor in international matters — the men and women
who have not been able to get beneath the
surface and understand the momentous issues they are called upon to decide.
Public opinion can not act intelligently
and effectively until it knows and understands the facts. Back of War is packed
with facts so clearly and understandmgly
presented that they make fascinating read ing even for the beginner in world affairs.
The author, one of the best known authoraties on international national affairs,
offers no propoganda on any issue. The
book is rather an effective antidote for all
propoganda.
The Cave of Naman
Within the Land of Somewhere Great
There dwell the monsters Gloom and Hate
Their home is a cave, a massive hall,
Fire and lightning adorn their walls.
A sea of blackness guards the gate
Of this giant home of Gloom and Hate.
Most any time by day or night
Do Cheer and Love with shinin g light
Attempt to pierce the sea of black
But Gloom and Hate do turn them back
Aided by helpers, Sorrow and Fear,
And tiny weird forms who hover near.
The lightning flashes from fiery walls
From everywhere around are weird shr ill
^
calls
The air is stifling with heat and forms
L:ke intensive heat before a storm.
Bewpre to one who tries to pass
Info tha claws of .this deadly mass.
Elizabeth M. Edwards
Cut of the blue sky,
Jcy found her way
Into this dark world
Where she promised to stay.
Unhappincss and Joy couldn't agree
Joy is the stronger you see,
Darkness began to disappear
Just because Joy is here.
G. Clark
Path of Life
A place of rest, of peaceful sleep,
It shines from far beyond ;
• But ch! below the way that leads—
Lies a monster with piercing vices strong.
There comes a ray of hope from those
golden gates above,
Down to this winding path that reaches to
heaven's height ;
It intermingles with the Devil's hateful
breath
Making life's path dark , yet sometimes
bright. .
Leatha Mericle
The Ghost of Night
Dark and bleak , the ghost of nigh t,
Travels around without a light,
But sailing across the weird mere
He is the one who needs to fear
For down throug the air
Ccmes the Soul of the Sun
To banish all spectres
And leave only Fun.

Fat e
A silver thread , from the sky of Life
Locsely held by a Silvery Sprite
It trembles oft and almost breaks.
A finger holds the thread of fate.
Oft times it tangles into a silvery knot ,
The finger moves and changes our lot.
, Sometimes it tangles and then will break .
Only God can stay the hand of Fate.

The Crystal Man (Snow)
A jolly old fellow makes his rounds
Collecting crystals from all the towns.
He is very particular in his choice
As every crystal must be shiny and moist.
After he has filled his sacks
He distributes them on mansions and
shacks.
He does not care for wealth or fame,
By/fc sprinkles his crystals to all the same.
He scatters them as evenly and fair
And tries to lay them with great care
So that they will light up every street ,
And show strings of crystal at our feet.
Lucille Brehm
Old Mr. Wind goes sailing by,
Head thrown back and pipe pitched high.
He whistles and howls the whole winter
through
Accompanying Mr . Snow and Miss Hail,
too.
Cheeks puffed out , he blows a fearful blast,
Mortals draw their collars up and give a
mighty gasp
The ageless Mr. Wind looks on in cheerful
glee
While cold Mr. Dinter bears him company.
A broad smile overspread his face
His toothless j aw agaping without grace.
No mercy is shown in his cold blue eye
So old Mr. Wind still continues to sail by.

IMAGININGS
The child has a very keen sense of makebelieve. He is constanly hearing and seeing things that are not of this materialistic
world. He talks of fairies and goblins and
for a time live in the imaginary world quite
as much as in our own . As they grow older this faculty is suppressed and crushed
out , weighted down under other things all
too often.
To really sympathize with children ,
grownu ps must have a measure of this
faculty. Teachers need it. To them these
long dormant faculties the Freshman art
classes under the leadership of Mr. Keller
have been writing imaginary pictures
which they will illustrate in color. A few
of these lovely bits of m ake-believe picked
from a cou ple of sections worked are quoted below.
I've often wondered how the world
Looked to a new-born babe.
With things grotesque and small,
Surel y he must be frightened at all.
When ever yone comes to look at him,
I wonder how they appear to him.
Some have lar ge noses, no chin,
Others eyes, and something over them.
Some with hair, some without,
Some thin and some stout.
As he looks at this throu gh a din of voices
harsh and thin
I wonder how it all appears to him.

LOCKER ROOM NEWSETTE S
(Girls)
The locker room gang is back in its place.
Many familiar faces are missing but we
are glad to greet many new. people.
The painting of the Locker and Y. W.
rooms makes a decided improvement. We
are still hoping for tables and chairs.
Locker Room girls participated with
Dormitory girls in observance of Freshmen Week. We are- sorry to see that some,
only a minority though, lacked class spirit.
Charlotte Means was elected as the
Locker Room representative in the Student
Council .
Beatrice Bowman was elected as the
student representative of the Sophomores
of the four ' year group in the Student
Council. (D. S.)
(Boys)
The men of the college who have as their
day headquarters in the basement, called
the "Men's Locker Room," are at last becoming acclimated to their unbecomingsurroundings. In spite of the handicap of
Lurroundings , they are giving a good account of themselves in sports and other
aetivities..
Football
Our old stand-by "Jap " Fritz is right
on the j ob again this year and promises
to eliminate many of last years rivals.
Another of our best men is "Stub" Pen ningion, who is always working hard to
hold down a heavy position on the team.
"Red" Creasy a Freshman is showing excellent qualities for the making of a varsity end. Evans, another Frosh, is work
ing hard and is setting a good example
for other first year men. Jack Fortner is
out again and is working hard. "Mack"
McKenzie is also giving a good account of
himself along with the rest. Last but
not lea.'-t is "Lute" Bitler of Mainville, a
sturdy linesman who is keeping up his end
with the others.
Oh ! Yes, we have men in other activities
also. The orchestra and glee club have
attracted the attention of several . Roy,
alias "Beany " Beishline is showing superior ability in glee club work. Undur the
direction of Prof. R. E. Clark, it is believed
that he will soon be a rival of some of the
"Artists".
The Phi Gamma Faie Sorority held a
very important meeting last Tuesday evening to discuss the events for the coming
year.
SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
REORGANIZED
The College Symphony Orchestra has
already had two rehearsals so far this year
and under the able leadership of Mr. Fenstermacher , the orchestra expects to give
the students some real treats in the way
of classical music.
The orchestra is growing larger each
year and the type of music played is of the
concert calibre.
Last year the orchestra was organized
on a club basis, having officers, a Pres ident, Secretary, Treasurer and Librarian.
It is expected that at the next rehearsal, a
business meeting will be called and new
officers elected for the ensuing year.
The Symphony Orchestra has always
been one of the biggest and most popular
organizations in the school. The orchestra
is always called upon to play for the various functions that take place during the
IMPROVEMENTS BEING MADE AT
COLLEGE
Fire Towers Built.
At last they have come ! The improvements to the college have been and are
being made, and soon our school will look
like a different institution.
While we were whiling our time away
during vacation doing nothing- in particular, some painters, builders and other
workers were sent to the college to paint
it and build additions to it. Much was
done during the summer, but there is still
much to be accomplished.
Science Hall, during the summer was
painted inside and out, a new museum
romo was fixed up for biology, the
geography room was moved from the
fourth to the first floor , and Mr . Hartline ,
the biology instructor, was given the medical prep, room, besides his own labratory.
North Hall was painted inside and ou +,
and general improvements were mzch ill
around it.
Waller Hall's entire fourth floor was
painted and new floors were laid However, there is much yet to be done here.
The second and third floors need pnmting
and flooring, and the lobbies on the three
floors must be fixed.
Three fire towers are being built and will
soon be completed . One leads to Waller
Hall , and two lead to Carver Hail. These
are fir e addtiions.
Furthermore , Dr. Haas is contemplatin g
the erection of a new training school on
the crmpus. With this innovation will
come more space in Noething: Hall, and the
day students will be able to be accomedated in a better and more comfortable way.

WOMEN'S STUDENT GOVERNMENT
TEA
A very enjoyable tea was held by the
Women 's Student Government Association
for the Freshmen Girls on Sunday, September 16, 1928 from 2 :30 to 4:30 P. M.
The guests were received in the lobby
by Dr. Ken*, Miss Turner, Margaret
Swartz and Loretta Fleming. Here an impromptu program was given through the
efforts of Eleanor Zydanowicz at the piano
and through the kindness of Mrs. Miller
who lent the orthophonic to the committee .
Af ter a number of these pleasing selections, tea was served in the inner court.
The committee in charge were :
Elizabeth H. Williams, Chairman.
Muriel Taylor
Helen Wheaton

Q
school year, as the class plays, banquets,
and chapel exercises.
For the past two years the orchestra
has been under the direction of Mr. Fenstermacher. He has strived to make this
orchestra rank among the best orchestras
in the Teacher's Colleges of the State.
In the past the orchestra has always met
for rehearsal in the auditorium. This has
proved inconvenient in many ways. Mr.
Fenstermacher this year has secured Room
43, Science Hall in which the orchestra
may practice! without disturbance from
any outside source.
It is hoped that the orchestra may have
a ver y successful year and give us a good
program at their annual Spring Concert.
Y. W. C. A. NOTES
An especially interesting meeting of the
Y. W. C. A. was held Wednesday September 26. Maudrue 0. Connell acted as chairman of the meeting. The meeting was
opened by the singing of the old hymn,
"O Master Let Me Walk With Thee." The
Scripture was the ever new and beautiful
Twenty Third Psalm. The Junior-Senior
Quartette composed of Jane Williams,
Dorothy Haen, Elizabeth Williams, and
Muriel Jones accompanied on the piano by
Muriel Reese rendered "This Is My Work
Today."
Mr. Bakeless, the speaker of the evening gave a fine talk on "Christian Character as an Asset in College Life." He said,
in part, that it was an easy thing to slump
when first being away from home. He
warned against loosening up and letting
down. "Don't Get in With the Wrong
Crowd." He emphasized the selection of
right ideals because the froth of college life
melts away too quickly to be worth the
seeking.
We grow only by what we do. It you
perservere in keeping your ideals high and
fine you make the school better by your
presence and you are much benefited yourself. I believe that a fine Christian character is one of the greatest assets you can
have for college life . If you measure up
you have the confidence and respect of
Faculty and Student body.
No man or woman can be at his best
without a definite fellowship with Christ.
If you do not know your Bible you can
never be the forceful man or woman you
might have been. The Proverb s is the
Young People's Book."
The meeting closed after the singing of
"Softly and Tenderly."
FUTURITY AND I
Ah! sea of darkness, sea of dread ,
What lies beyond thy wat'ry bed—
Thy windswept, cold, and wat'ry bed ?
Is it a land of life and peace
Or is it the abode of dead—
The dark and gloomy land of dead ?
My eyes search out thy sightless depths
Where mournful waves .roll on and on—
Oh! gray tides rolling on and on!
I watch but cannot see a sign
That says, even in soundless voice—
From out thy depth s no soundless voice—
No voice that says, "Sail on 1 Sail on !"
No voice of hope that says , "Sail on !"
Yet with what hopes did men of yore
Sail o'er thy billows wild and high.
They sought for wealth, for gold and gems ;
I seek but for a lonely isle.
They sought for gold and gems of Ind ;
I seek but rest for weary head—
For weary head head and sadden'd heart.
For brain too much o'erwrought in vain
I seek a lonely desert isle
To find repose from hopeless pain.
C. Joachim.

The first meeting of the college Y. M. C.
Ai -was held in Room; 22, Science Hall on
Wednesday evening Sept. 26, 1928, at 7:15
P. M. The meeting was • opened with the
singing of songs led by Llewellyn- Edmunds.
The scripture was read by Nickolas Jaffin.
An address of welcome was given- by the
president; Raymond Hodges.
The main event of the evening was a debate entitled , "Are We Behaving Like Human Beings?" The " affirmative was represented by Charles Poole and Clarence Ruch.
The negative side of the debate was carried
by Theodore Davis and Wm. M. Jones.
Prof. Koch , the faculty advisor , offered a
few interesting suggestions which were well
received.
>
The Y. M. C. A. decided to run a dance
about the middle ol December the nature of
which will be announced later.
Pres. Hodges attended a meeting of the
State Student Council of Pennsylvania Y. M.
C. A. at Lewisburg Oct. 3 1928. The colleges

University , Eloomsburg State Teachers College, Susquehanna University , Mansfield
State Teachers College and State College.
Dance Orch estra Meets
Jack Taylor , Hanover township 's own Paul
Whitman , called a rehearsel of the remnants
of last year 's Maroon and Gold Orchestra ,
which Phil Kester so abl y directed.
Judging from the turn out and the snappy
music the boys played the first time they met
it can safely be said that the orchestra will be
even better than it was last year.
The Maroon and Gold Orchestra , as they
will continue to call themselves, expect to
play in the Gym at least one night every
week during the school year , with the consent of the administration.
The personal of the orchestra this year is
as follows:
Jack Taylor , leader; Arch Reese, trumpet;
T. Litweiler , trumpet; Tax Davis, saxaphone;
Walter Siesko, saxophone; Sam Kurtz , trombone; James Davis, banjo; Brooke Yeager,
drums.

The Saxaphone Band led by Mary Lindeman and Marge Conahan led the parade
from the auditorium to the gym. Its soothing refrain could be heard throughout theentire building. By the time and harmony it
kept, without seeing it you would have thought
ft was Paul Whitmans. The selection which
^
pleased the audience most was the "Alma
Mater which the band had down to perfection.
The Siamese Clowns were exceptionly
good. This uni que feature proved to be very
entertaining . This act was carried out by
Eleanor Dwyer and Katie Astleford.
Sarah Donahue gave her best interpretation
of Buffalo Bill . This brought forth many
laughs from the interested audience.
They were clowns but proved they weren 't
so foolish when they rendered the benutifu l
musical number entitled "Laugh Clown ,
Laugh".
Animals , animals , animals , th at s what we
called them , because I' m sure . no one could
have named or classified them. They were
varied types some of whom we doubt existed
at all.
Misses Brani gan and Pecora mad e a very
striking appearance in the animal trainer
costumes.
The rope walker proved to be a little nervous in her performance , but we all understood her nervousness , when we thought of
the elevated position of the rope and the
distance she had to fall in ease of an accident.
With the assistance of a few mattresses and
pillows Miss Vollrath portrayed the part of
the fat lady to perfection.
Miss Sonner in the capacity of' announcer
did very well.
We had peanuts for sale. Our peanut slogan was "Not more than one to a customer.
The pink lemonade sold like wild fire.
The Kitchen Utensil Band deserves special
mention for the stunn ing appearance it made.
Its costumes were uniform and they certainly
looked chic.
Our circus came to an end with the singing
of the "Alma Mater " by everyone present.

It will be composed of A and B teams . The
mpst promising players will be placed on the A teams.

That "is , each member of the team will receive five points. The teams that win half the games
this seasons will receive 100 points extra . The hockey
season is expected to last until Thanksgiving. ¦

The Y. W. C. A.: Reception
'- The Y. W. C. A. Reception held recently to welcome not only the Faculty and upper classmen ,but also
the :Freshmeri , was a great social success. .
The reception provided a beautiful setting. The
gymnasium was decorated with blue and white banners
while the orchestra was enclosed in by an artistic setting
a beautiful home and garden.
Then , too , real , college life was portrayed in a big
ti m e, m u sic , dance and song.
Don Howers ' Orchestra furnished the music which
was enthusiastically received. It seemed that everyone
joined in the affable scene of the occasion to promote
the affair to a grand , social success.
Moreover , the reception was highly appreciated since
it offered an excellent opportunity to the "green ". Frosh
to become acquainted with the Faculty and upper classmen. Everyone voted the reception one of the most
successful ever given and much credit is due to the Y.
W. C. A. members , cabinet , and its sponsor , Miss
Ranson.

The Pajama Parade
Great Night f or "Frosh 11
Extract for a Freshman 's diary September 12, 1928
"Had Freshman init iation to-night and
also "some time. " We held a pajama parade and took a "duckin g " . Wow! How nice.
But it all hap pens in a life-time.
On that memorab le evenin g, about fort y
green Freshmen were assembled in the lobby
of North Hall. They were bellowing an
appropriate ballad , written for the occasion
and en titled "How Green I Am " . 'Short y *
Edmunds direc ted th e singing and with the
except ion of several in t erru pt ions f r o m
' Frosh ' Stier and 'Frosh ' Taylor , i t w as fairl y
well done , (if we also exclude the voices of
the frosh ).
A cer t ain "Frosh " Fetter had a sudden
cra ving to see a girl friend at Waller Hall
and Chief Marshal Kra ynack , led his " paj ama *d ones down to the court at long porc h ,
benea th the windows of the girls dormitory
like so man y "Romeos " . Bu t alas! the Juliets gave the would-be Valenti nos * a cool receptio n in the form of a deluge of wat er ,
(had it only been flower- pots) .
Chief Marshal Kra ynack , who , because of
his well ch osen armor , came unscra tched
throu gh the deluge , t hen led his t rou p e of
actors to the center of the ceremonial grounds
and the pro gra m was opened by "Frosh "
Stier and "Frosh " McFadden praying to
Allah. They thanked Allah for the blessing
the y had just received from the heavens and
prayed for more . They got it.
Frosh Johns was a tower of strength in

Dr. Wilson Speaks at Special Meeting
»
"
¦
¦
"
Dr. Wilson , the National Director of the
Juni or Red Cross , spoke at a specially called
meetin g of the College Tuesday, Septe mber
25. His topic was "The Objectives and
Aims of Education " . Under this broad title
he asked us to include all educatio n , not only
that of the school but of the playground ,
business , social life, etc.
He said that the most import ant thin g in
connection with any prepar ation is to discover the goal toward which one is strivin g,
find out what one is tr ying to do .what he is to
achieve. He said that the end , goal , aim , or
pur pose is the biggest thin g you can know
about any j ob. The difference between the
artisan teacher and the artistic teacher 'is in
the difference of degree in which the two are
grounded in the objectives , aims, and means
of attainin g those aims.
Different classes of people in your communities will expect you to accomplish widely differing ends as a teacher. One class will
expect you to train boys and girls to earn
their bread and butter. Another will want
you to drill their children upon the knowledge of the world , turn them into little encyclopedias. Another class, usually found at
Brid ge Parties and Pink Teas , will ask you
to brin g culture and refinement. Anoth er
group will mainta in that the purpose of the
school is formal training or discipline. No
one of these aims is enough. We need them
all and more to o.
The new idea or social view of the school
dates fro m about 1910, It is that we must
train all children accordin g to their ability to
meet all the situat ions that they will encounter in life. To do this they must train for:
1. Vocation
2. Citizenship
3. Leisur e
4. Health
5. Chara cter
conclusions. "Frosh " Robbins tore up some
t urf while digging for an idea , which esca p ed
him.
Some other features of the evening were
"Frosh " Warmon , telling the girls his whole
life 's histor y by serenadin g them with "Hallelujah! I' m a Bum. " "Frosh " Jenkins gave
a few lessons in soa p bubble blowin g to the
tune of "I' m Forever Blowing Bubbles. "
" Frosh " Litwhiler almost ended his own life
very suddenl y when , he attempted to play
"Taps " on his trum pet before the ceremonies were over. " Frosh " Fette r showed how
unrul y one freshman could be, when he imFor
media tely asked for a certain girl.
f reshmen t o even t hink of girls is t he mos t
horrible of viola tions , but he rendered "The
Evenin g Call " (not a newspaper but a song)
with a trumpet and he was forgiven. ' The
ceremonies ended with a grand rush ot stampede upon each other , (as freshmen always
do), and prayed for rain. Again the y were
obliged after some great portion of a cistern ,
had fallen upon them. , Chief Marsha l Kra ynack then led his willin g actors * to North
Hall and ended a never forgetful night, in
bed.

KEEPIN G FRESHMA N CUS TOMS
Every college and university has its certain
cherished traditions , which through the ages
of time, have fastened themselves by a thread
of college spirit to the life of that community. The thread used at Bloomsburg is that
unbreakable kind and consequently it is the
duty of every student whether he be old or
new, to see that Bloomsburg 's cherished and
characteristic traditions are observed and to
assist so that others shall do the same.
Whatever you found at this college when
you came is right; it is the tradition , and you
are asked nothing better than to live up to
that tradition regardless of how unnatural
that custom may seem to you.
Freshmen , remember, that when you enter
Bloomsburg you are considered a man. Be
honest with yourself and always keep in
mind the fact that you are here for a life
purpose.
Sometimes the freshmen rebels. Nine
times out of ten , he doesn 't rebel because he

H. & C. Cut Rate
(t^^^ V% v^B^Mf^^^ vt >4^^ v4 f^^^ BI)4B
The Store Where You Save Money
feels that the tradition is crushing his person*
ality; on the contrary he uses his rebellion to
expose his personality . He is so eager to
make an impression that he usually succeeds
in making himself look very foolish.
Now as to the freshmen dink. A freshman is very foolish , indeed , who does not
comply with the rules and wear his dink
properly because as a social creature he has
to accept many of the dictates of society
whether he likes them or not; and if he enters a new society, he has to accept its dictates until he has made himself a powerful
enough member to change what he doesn 't
like. The freshman dink is not a symbol of
the regimentation of souls that he asserted it
was; it is merely a custom , both acceptable
and pleasant to the majority . Therefore ,
freshman , remember that we are judged more
by what we do than by what we say. Wear
your freshman customs without trying to put
something over on the tribunal or the upper
classman before you have tested their virtues.

Prof. Albert , a m emb er of th e Bloom sburg
faculty for many years, spoke in Chapel on
Friday September 28. *
Prof. Albert spoke on the life of Francis
E. Willard and her work for prohibition.
Miss Willard wasiborn in America and gave
her entire life in combat with drink. It was
through her influence that the Women 's
Christian Temperance Union was organized.
In 1913 a jo int committee of the W. C. T.
U. and the Anti-Saloon League workers
went to Washington and asked for a law
against the use of intoxicating drinks. They
were not granted an answer to their plea but
were told to go to their states and ask for a
ballot for the law. If two thirds of the states
voted for it , Congress would then be ' willing
to grant their wish. "At that time there were
nine dry states and by 1919 there were th irty
six dry states. As a result we have our Federal Law against the manufacturing, sale or
giving away of intoxicating liquor.
Professor Albert stated that according to
responsible authorities the Prohibition Law
with all its shortcomings is the best enforced
law in America. All of this Prohibition
work is the result of the seed sown by one
woman , Francis E. Willard.
With the improvements which are being
made , comes the desire of all , that tlie college be kept as beautiful as it is being made.
Let us all cooperate in this. Just one little
pencil mark , one smear on the walls , will alter the appearanc e of an otherwise beautiful
room. Ink spilled on the newly-laid floors ,
will make them look as old as they did before being fixed.
Students , give your most hearty cooperation , and our college will stay as beautifu l as
it will be when all the improvements are
made.

OUR LIBRARY COLUMN
Disraeli by Andre ' Mruvois
Is there any tale of the Thousand and
One Nights, any story of a cobbler made
Sultan that could match the picturesqueness of Disraeli's life ? Did he not realize
completely the dreams of that boy who lay
stretched out under th"e trees in the Italian garden listening to his grandp'apa 's
mandolin ?
Maurois' Disraeli is the record of a
stormy career, a life of vivid contrasts,
hopes fulfilled succeeded by crushing defea t s, overwhelming1 acclaim and thwarted
ambitions, friendships and animosities, triumphant leadership and coveted honors
that came too late to give peace to a tempestuous, storm-ridden spirit .
Wintersmoon by Hugh Walpole
Winstermoon was the house in all England . . . . with its history and stories and
tradition and colour . .. .the country house
of generati ons of title/;! families, the soul
of ?11 that England stands for.
It was to Wintersmoon that Janet
Grandison wentherwhen she married
Lord
life a part of the back Poo'e to m^k^
ground and tradition of the English aris,
tCCiTC".
Against this background pass many
characters and many events : Janet ,
whose bvp . is all for her sister Rosalind ;
Wildhcrn. her husband, and his devotion to
the r,">n Jane'1; b^ars him ; Rosalind , beauti ful , young, clever, and a little hard ; her
adoring lover and his tragedy ; the aging
and trnnricus Duke and Duchess ; and the
world of social England which no one
knows rnd revrals as Hugh Walpole, in
such books as Wintersmoon and the Duchess of Wrexe.
The interwpaving and development of
these lives makes a novel now dramatic,
now fV^p^almT, now charming—and alway s
a novel of distinction , power, and permanence.
Back of War by Henry Kitti edge Norton
This bock connects the living forces of
world politics with the springs of war . It
gets at the roots of international disputes
in a way that makes them understandable.
It dissects war and lays bare the forces
which must be overcome b3fore lasting
peace car. be established.
Back of War is of interest not alone to
the student of international affairs, it is
written for American citizens—the men
and women whose decisions have suddenly
become the most important factor in international matters — the men and women
who have not been able to get beneath the
surface and understand the momentous issues they are called upon to decide.
Public opinion can not act intelligently
and effectively until it knows and understands the facts. Back of War is packed
with facts so clearly and understandmgly
presented that they make fascinating read ing even for the beginner in world affairs.
The author, one of the best known authoraties on international national affairs,
offers no propoganda on any issue. The
book is rather an effective antidote for all
propoganda.
The Cave of Naman
Within the Land of Somewhere Great
There dwell the monsters Gloom and Hate
Their home is a cave, a massive hall,
Fire and lightning adorn their walls.
A sea of blackness guards the gate
Of this giant home of Gloom and Hate.
Most any time by day or night
Do Cheer and Love with shinin g light
Attempt to pierce the sea of black
But Gloom and Hate do turn them back
Aided by helpers, Sorrow and Fear,
And tiny weird forms who hover near.
The lightning flashes from fiery walls
From everywhere around are weird shr ill
^
calls
The air is stifling with heat and forms
L:ke intensive heat before a storm.
Bewpre to one who tries to pass
Info tha claws of .this deadly mass.
Elizabeth M. Edwards
Cut of the blue sky,
Jcy found her way
Into this dark world
Where she promised to stay.
Unhappincss and Joy couldn't agree
Joy is the stronger you see,
Darkness began to disappear
Just because Joy is here.
G. Clark
Path of Life
A place of rest, of peaceful sleep,
It shines from far beyond ;
• But ch! below the way that leads—
Lies a monster with piercing vices strong.
There comes a ray of hope from those
golden gates above,
Down to this winding path that reaches to
heaven's height ;
It intermingles with the Devil's hateful
breath
Making life's path dark , yet sometimes
bright. .
Leatha Mericle
The Ghost of Night
Dark and bleak , the ghost of nigh t,
Travels around without a light,
But sailing across the weird mere
He is the one who needs to fear
For down throug the air
Ccmes the Soul of the Sun
To banish all spectres
And leave only Fun.

Fat e
A silver thread , from the sky of Life
Locsely held by a Silvery Sprite
It trembles oft and almost breaks.
A finger holds the thread of fate.
Oft times it tangles into a silvery knot ,
The finger moves and changes our lot.
, Sometimes it tangles and then will break .
Only God can stay the hand of Fate.

The Crystal Man (Snow)
A jolly old fellow makes his rounds
Collecting crystals from all the towns.
He is very particular in his choice
As every crystal must be shiny and moist.
After he has filled his sacks
He distributes them on mansions and
shacks.
He does not care for wealth or fame,
By/fc sprinkles his crystals to all the same.
He scatters them as evenly and fair
And tries to lay them with great care
So that they will light up every street ,
And show strings of crystal at our feet.
Lucille Brehm
Old Mr. Wind goes sailing by,
Head thrown back and pipe pitched high.
He whistles and howls the whole winter
through
Accompanying Mr . Snow and Miss Hail,
too.
Cheeks puffed out , he blows a fearful blast,
Mortals draw their collars up and give a
mighty gasp
The ageless Mr. Wind looks on in cheerful
glee
While cold Mr. Dinter bears him company.
A broad smile overspread his face
His toothless j aw agaping without grace.
No mercy is shown in his cold blue eye
So old Mr. Wind still continues to sail by.

IMAGININGS
The child has a very keen sense of makebelieve. He is constanly hearing and seeing things that are not of this materialistic
world. He talks of fairies and goblins and
for a time live in the imaginary world quite
as much as in our own . As they grow older this faculty is suppressed and crushed
out , weighted down under other things all
too often.
To really sympathize with children ,
grownu ps must have a measure of this
faculty. Teachers need it. To them these
long dormant faculties the Freshman art
classes under the leadership of Mr. Keller
have been writing imaginary pictures
which they will illustrate in color. A few
of these lovely bits of m ake-believe picked
from a cou ple of sections worked are quoted below.
I've often wondered how the world
Looked to a new-born babe.
With things grotesque and small,
Surel y he must be frightened at all.
When ever yone comes to look at him,
I wonder how they appear to him.
Some have lar ge noses, no chin,
Others eyes, and something over them.
Some with hair, some without,
Some thin and some stout.
As he looks at this throu gh a din of voices
harsh and thin
I wonder how it all appears to him.

LOCKER ROOM NEWSETTE S
(Girls)
The locker room gang is back in its place.
Many familiar faces are missing but we
are glad to greet many new. people.
The painting of the Locker and Y. W.
rooms makes a decided improvement. We
are still hoping for tables and chairs.
Locker Room girls participated with
Dormitory girls in observance of Freshmen Week. We are- sorry to see that some,
only a minority though, lacked class spirit.
Charlotte Means was elected as the
Locker Room representative in the Student
Council .
Beatrice Bowman was elected as the
student representative of the Sophomores
of the four ' year group in the Student
Council. (D. S.)
(Boys)
The men of the college who have as their
day headquarters in the basement, called
the "Men's Locker Room," are at last becoming acclimated to their unbecomingsurroundings. In spite of the handicap of
Lurroundings , they are giving a good account of themselves in sports and other
aetivities..
Football
Our old stand-by "Jap " Fritz is right
on the j ob again this year and promises
to eliminate many of last years rivals.
Another of our best men is "Stub" Pen ningion, who is always working hard to
hold down a heavy position on the team.
"Red" Creasy a Freshman is showing excellent qualities for the making of a varsity end. Evans, another Frosh, is work
ing hard and is setting a good example
for other first year men. Jack Fortner is
out again and is working hard. "Mack"
McKenzie is also giving a good account of
himself along with the rest. Last but
not lea.'-t is "Lute" Bitler of Mainville, a
sturdy linesman who is keeping up his end
with the others.
Oh ! Yes, we have men in other activities
also. The orchestra and glee club have
attracted the attention of several . Roy,
alias "Beany " Beishline is showing superior ability in glee club work. Undur the
direction of Prof. R. E. Clark, it is believed
that he will soon be a rival of some of the
"Artists".
The Phi Gamma Faie Sorority held a
very important meeting last Tuesday evening to discuss the events for the coming
year.
SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
REORGANIZED
The College Symphony Orchestra has
already had two rehearsals so far this year
and under the able leadership of Mr. Fenstermacher , the orchestra expects to give
the students some real treats in the way
of classical music.
The orchestra is growing larger each
year and the type of music played is of the
concert calibre.
Last year the orchestra was organized
on a club basis, having officers, a Pres ident, Secretary, Treasurer and Librarian.
It is expected that at the next rehearsal, a
business meeting will be called and new
officers elected for the ensuing year.
The Symphony Orchestra has always
been one of the biggest and most popular
organizations in the school. The orchestra
is always called upon to play for the various functions that take place during the
IMPROVEMENTS BEING MADE AT
COLLEGE
Fire Towers Built.
At last they have come ! The improvements to the college have been and are
being made, and soon our school will look
like a different institution.
While we were whiling our time away
during vacation doing nothing- in particular, some painters, builders and other
workers were sent to the college to paint
it and build additions to it. Much was
done during the summer, but there is still
much to be accomplished.
Science Hall, during the summer was
painted inside and out, a new museum
romo was fixed up for biology, the
geography room was moved from the
fourth to the first floor , and Mr . Hartline ,
the biology instructor, was given the medical prep, room, besides his own labratory.
North Hall was painted inside and ou +,
and general improvements were mzch ill
around it.
Waller Hall's entire fourth floor was
painted and new floors were laid However, there is much yet to be done here.
The second and third floors need pnmting
and flooring, and the lobbies on the three
floors must be fixed.
Three fire towers are being built and will
soon be completed . One leads to Waller
Hall , and two lead to Carver Hail. These
are fir e addtiions.
Furthermore , Dr. Haas is contemplatin g
the erection of a new training school on
the crmpus. With this innovation will
come more space in Noething: Hall, and the
day students will be able to be accomedated in a better and more comfortable way.
Dr. Haas , the faculty and the student
body are all looking forward to the day
when these dreams will be a reality, and
all we need is hearty cooperation .

WOMEN'S STUDENT GOVERNMENT
TEA
A very enjoyable tea was held by the
Women 's Student Government Association
for the Freshmen Girls on Sunday, September 16, 1928 from 2 :30 to 4:30 P. M.
The guests were received in the lobby
by Dr. Ken*, Miss Turner, Margaret
Swartz and Loretta Fleming. Here an impromptu program was given through the
efforts of Eleanor Zydanowicz at the piano
and through the kindness of Mrs. Miller
who lent the orthophonic to the committee .
Af ter a number of these pleasing selections, tea was served in the inner court.
The committee in charge were :

school year, as the class plays, banquets,
and chapel exercises.
For the past two years the orchestra
has been under the direction of Mr. Fenstermacher. He has strived to make this
orchestra rank among the best orchestras
in the Teacher's Colleges of the State.
In the past the orchestra has always met
for rehearsal in the auditorium. This has
proved inconvenient in many ways. Mr.
Fenstermacher this year has secured Room
43, Science Hall in which the orchestra
may practice! without disturbance from
any outside source.
It is hoped that the orchestra may have
a ver y successful year and give us a good
program at their annual Spring Concert.
Y. W. C. A. NOTES
An especially interesting meeting of the
Y. W. C. A. was held Wednesday September 26. Maudrue 0. Connell acted as chairman of the meeting. The meeting was
opened by the singing of the old hymn,
"O Master Let Me Walk With Thee." The
Scripture was the ever new and beautiful
Twenty Third Psalm. The Junior-Senior
Quartette composed of Jane Williams,
Dorothy Haen, Elizabeth Williams, and
Muriel Jones accompanied on the piano by
Muriel Reese rendered "This Is My Work
Today."
Mr. Bakeless, the speaker of the evening gave a fine talk on "Christian Character as an Asset in College Life." He said,
in part, that it was an easy thing to slump
when first being away from home. He
warned against loosening up and letting
down. "Don't Get in With the Wrong
Crowd." He emphasized the selection of
right ideals because the froth of college life
melts away too quickly to be worth the
seeking.
We grow only by what we do. It you
perservere in keeping your ideals high and
fine you make the school better by your
presence and you are much benefited yourself. I believe that a fine Christian character is one of the greatest assets you can
have for college life . If you measure up
you have the confidence and respect of
Faculty and Student body.
No man or woman can be at his best
without a definite fellowship with Christ.
If you do not know your Bible you can
never be the forceful man or woman you
might have been. The Proverb s is the
Young People's Book."
The meeting closed after the singing of
"Softly and Tenderly."
FUTURITY AND I
Ah! sea of darkness, sea of dread ,
What lies beyond thy wat'ry bed—
Thy windswept, cold, and wat'ry bed ?
Is it a land of life and peace
Or is it the abode of dead—
The dark and gloomy land of dead ?
My eyes search out thy sightless depths
Where mournful waves .roll on and on—
Oh! gray tides rolling on and on!
I watch but cannot see a sign
That says, even in soundless voice—
From out thy depth s no soundless voice—
No voice that says, "Sail on 1 Sail on !"
No voice of hope that says , "Sail on !"
Yet with what hopes did men of yore
Sail o'er thy billows wild and high.
They sought for wealth, for gold and gems ;
I seek but for a lonely isle.
They sought for gold and gems of Ind ;
I seek but rest for weary head—
For weary head head and sadden'd heart.
For brain too much o'erwrought in vain
I seek a lonely desert isle
To find repose from hopeless pain.
C. Joachim.

State Teachers College and State College.
Dance Orch estra Meets
Jack Taylor , Hanover township 's own Paul
Whitman , called a rehearsel of the remnants
of last year 's Maroon and Gold Orchestra ,
which Phil Kester so abl y directed.
Judging from the turn out and the snappy
music the boys played the first time they met
it can safely be said that the orchestra will be
even better than it was last year.
The Maroon and Gold Orchestra , as they
will continue to call themselves, expect to
play in the Gym at least one night every
week during the school year , with the consent of the administration.
The personal of the orchestra this year is
as follows:
Jack Taylor , leader; Arch Reese, trumpet;
T. Litweiler , trumpet; Tax Davis, saxaphone;
Walter Siesko, saxophone; Sam Kurtz , trombone; James Davis, banjo; Brooke Yeager,

The Saxaphone Band led by Mary Lindeman and Marge Conahan led the parade
from the auditorium to the gym. Its soothing refrain could be heard throughout theentire building. By the time and harmony it
kept, without seeing it you would have thought
ft was Paul Whitmans. The selection which
^
pleased the audience most was the "Alma
Mater which the band had down to perfection.
The Siamese Clowns were exceptionly
good. This uni que feature proved to be very
entertaining . This act was carried out by
Eleanor Dwyer and Katie Astleford.
Sarah Donahue gave her best interpretation
of Buffalo Bill . This brought forth many
laughs from the interested audience.
They were clowns but proved they weren 't
so foolish when they rendered the benutifu l
musical number entitled "Laugh Clown ,
Laugh".
Animals , animals , animals , th at s what we
called them , because I' m sure . no one could
have named or classified them. They were

Misses Brani gan and Pecora mad e a very
striking appearance in the animal trainer
costumes.
The rope walker proved to be a little nervous in her performance , but we all understood her nervousness , when we thought of
the elevated position of the rope and the
distance she had to fall in ease of an accident.
With the assistance of a few mattresses and
pillows Miss Vollrath portrayed the part of
the fat lady to perfection.
Miss Sonner in the capacity of' announcer
did very well.
We had peanuts for sale. Our peanut slogan was "Not more than one to a customer.
The pink lemonade sold like wild fire.
The Kitchen Utensil Band deserves special
mention for the stunn ing appearance it made.
Its costumes were uniform and they certainly
looked chic.
Our circus came to an end with the singing
of the "Alma Mater " by everyone present.

It will be composed of A and B teams . The
mpst promising players will be placed on the A teams.

That "is , each member of the team will receive five points. The teams that win half the games
this seasons will receive 100 points extra . The hockey
season is expected to last until Thanksgiving. ¦

The Y. W. C. A.: Reception
'- The Y. W. C. A. Reception held recently to welcome not only the Faculty and upper classmen ,but also
the :Freshmeri , was a great social success. .
The reception provided a beautiful setting. The
gymnasium was decorated with blue and white banners
while the orchestra was enclosed in by an artistic setting
a beautiful home and garden.
Then , too , real , college life was portrayed in a big
ti m e, m u sic , dance and song.
Don Howers ' Orchestra furnished the music which
was enthusiastically received. It seemed that everyone
joined in the affable scene of the occasion to promote
the affair to a grand , social success.
Moreover , the reception was highly appreciated since
it offered an excellent opportunity to the "green ". Frosh
to become acquainted with the Faculty and upper classmen. Everyone voted the reception one of the most
successful ever given and much credit is due to the Y.
W. C. A. members , cabinet , and its sponsor , Miss
Ranson.
