BLOOM TAKES MANSFIELD
12 - O
Maroon and Gold Administers First Defeat
to Mansfield
If Mansfield reckoned on a repetition of
last year 's victory when the Maroon and
Gold came home at the short end of a 39-0
score, they were sorely disappointed Saturday, November 10th , when the stalwart
Bloomsburg eleven strode throu gh the Red
and Black line and chalked up a pair of
touchdowns in spite of Mansfield's reputatiQn fef geod football.
Casting aside their strong aerial attack, the
Bloomsburg boys played straight football almost the entire game, ripping off yard after
yard through Mansfield' s supposedly strong
line.
In spite of the loss of big John Harry from
the line-up Bloomsburg 's line has never
shown better stuff. Working with all the
power and fight they could summon , the line
was almost impenetr able and time after time
the boys in the backfield found holes neatly
opened up for them as they drove off tackle
and through center for yardage. Pennington , who, because of injuries , did not line up
against Lock Haven , was back in his old
position while Krafchick took the otherguard
in place of Yacabonis. >#Yock " who vas also suffering from injuries returned to play a
short time against Mansfield. Joe Wadas
also took his old position at end for a few
minutes.
The fine defensive work of Krafchick , who
has just recently worked his way into the
Bloomsburg line-up, was almost a special
feature of the game. Time and again "Kraffy " was found at the botto m of the tackle
wh en a Mansfield back tried to break his way
through the line. "M owrer " whose injuries
confined him to the bench , will no doubt be
out to defeat Seminary in this Saturday 's
game. Ruch back at center played true to
form a nd was a b i g man in Bl o om sburg 's opposition.
Bloom ki cked off deep into Mansfield territory and the ball was run to the thirty-yard
line. Thr ee unsuccessful play s and a kick
gave t he h o me bo y s t he ball on t h ei r o w n
45 yard line. An incomplete pass and Kraynack took the ball throu gh center for 8 yards.
Kirker dro ve off right tackle for a first down
and "Nick" Jaffin wen t around end for 9
y ards , Again "Tam " Kirker cli pp ed c ff an
easy 8 yards throug h center.
Mansfield rallied and staved off a drive
through center , Warmain went back and
carried the ball for 3 yards and Jaffin on the
next play cleared the end for 2 yards. An
incomplete forward and Mansfield took the
ball on their own 27 yard line. 5 yards in
three downs and the Red and Black received

Ethel Leginska Great Leader
What an array of instruments greeted our
eyes when we gathered on Wednesday night,
November 7th , to hear the Boston Women 's
Symphony Orchestra ! How Miss Ethel Leginska could lead! She held the audience spellbound tor the entire two hours of performance, for it certainly was more quiet than it
generally is.
The following is the program; Glinke-Ovgratur e, "Russian and Ludmilla. " Beethoven-Symphony No. 5, opus 57, (a) Allegro,
con brio; (b) Andante con moto; (c) Allegro
(Scherzo); (d) Allegro Maestoso , Presto;
Liszt-Hungarian Fantasie for Piano and Orchestra; Rimsky-Korsakoff , Dance of the
Clowns , fro m the opera "The Snow Maiden; " Wagner-Overture "Rienzi ."
An encore was called for and the orchestra rendered that very beautiful selection
"Cavalleria Rusticana. "
The orchestra has left in the minds of the
people of Bloomsburg a wonderful memory
and one they will not soon forget. Music
like that which was played by those fine women musicians will live on and up lift one
fro m the dull monotony of life to the beautifu l realm of pure and wholesome enjoy ment and pleasure.
War Futile , Topic of Rev. Heistand 's Speech
Mr. Buella Talks on Experience in France
On Friday, November 9, Armistice Day
was observed in chapel. The first speaker
was Mr. Buella of the 28th division. He told
of his experiences in the war, such as: the trip
over, experien ces in England , experiences under first gun-fire at Calais^ France and life in
the trenches.
The next speaker , Reverend Heistand, tried
to show us the futility of war. His speech
was one which made us think , for he said there
isn't any glory in war. If anything should
make us wish to out-law war, Mr. Heistand's
talk should.
We closed this fine program by singing
"The Star-Spangled Banner",

BE APPRECIATIVE
Be appreciative of the finer things in life.
Last Thursday night we had the opportunity of hearing The Boston Women 's Symphony Orchestra conducted by the famous
Ethel Lsginska , who is an artist of great
ability .
As we all know , or at least should have realized this was a very special occasion which
we should have appreciated. There were in
the audience some music lovers. There were
also some students in the audience who didn 't
seem to appreciate or estimate the value of
thi? program. They coughed , whispered ,
moved , and shuffled their programs. This
continued until Miss Leginska requested them
to keep still or leave. We were very sorry
this had to happen and we should hereby resolve not to have a repetition of this incident. We are all old enough to know better.
This may seem trivial to us, but let us consider the impression it made on our visitors.
Let us keep in mind the fact , that our behavior reflects on our home-training and our
COLLEGE.

The Test
Many country people are used to hardships
and sacrifices that are so common they do not
recognize them as such. The Careys were
such a family. They lived on a small farm
whose fertility had long been exhausted, and
seemed to gather a livlihood for four small
boys from the very rocks on the clay covered
hillsides. The father of the family was not
well at any time, and this particular winter
. was forced to spend much time indoors. The
mother a small woman and frail in appearance, worked early and late. She did the
work for the family, helped in the fields whenever needed , kept the children in school, and
despite her fraility created an atmosphere
about the house that meant but one thing , and
that was a real home.
One Saturday morning Mr. Carey did not
have strength enough to rise from his bed.
• His wife was greatly alarmed, but she said
nothing about it as she prepared the simple
breakfast.
"Where is Dad?" inquired Jan the oldest
boy, as the family drew around the breakfast
table.
"He felt tired t his morning, so I did not
waken him ," the mother smilingly answered
patting Jack , the baby boy^ on the cheek.
Outwardly she was calm and her own sweet
self, but inwardly her mind was in a turmoil.
She knew that her husband was quite sick.
Usually she had trouble keeping him in bed ,
but today he showed no desire to rise. His
breath came in gasps and his head was hot.
As soon as breakfast was over she slipped
quietly upstairs unobserved. Quietly she
pushed the door ajar and entered the room.
He was apparently sleeping, but his breath
was more irregular. As she watched he tossed from one side of the bed to the other.
Restless, feverish, she did know what else.
Doctors were expensive so one was not often
called. But to her this seemed an especially
urgent case. She went back to the kitchen.
Before the boys started out to do the morning chores, she called Jan aside and said, "Jan ,
I believe we should call Dr. Good to come and
see Dad. He doesn 't look very good to me.
Suppose you run down to Mrs. Beeche's and
ask her to call him on the phone for us."
Jan , too, was alarmed. "You think he is
awfully sick, Mother? Maybe its only a cold,
but I'll go and be back soon to milk. I'll be
back soon, Mother," and he darted out of the
door.
His two younger brothers went on with the
chores forgetting their father had not been up
for breakfast. Baby Jack played around on
the kitchen floor until his mother had
finished the dishes. She humidly picked
up Jack , afraid to leave him alone, and ran
up the stairs hoping to find the sick man awake. She opened the door again very softly
and stood Jack on the floor inside. She walked quietly to the bed. Her hands fell by her
side, her knees gave way under her, and she
fell forward her face striking the bed as if she
were going to faint. She quickly caught herself and began rubbing her eyes with clenched
fists as though to strike away an illusion. Be-
fore her lay her husband , not tossing restlessly,
but still. Cold drops of perspiration were on
his forehead, and his eyes were opened wide
in a horrible fixed stare.
"Dead?" She whispered huskily, and again
repeated, "Dead." She wanted to scream, to
fly, to cry, but remembered Jack who because of his mother's strange actions came
closer to the bed. She pulled the sheet over
the drawn face before the child saw.' Not a
tear came to her eyes and her voice was calm
as she picked up the boy and spoke very low,
"Daddy 's gone to sleep; dear, and I'm afraid
he'll never be awake again."
Jack only opened his eyes in wonderment
and inquiry, so she explained further , but it
was not without much effect.
"He's gone to Heaven , Jackie, where you'll
go some day if you're a good boy."
Jack began to understand that he would
never see his father again and started to cry
as his mother earned him with uncertain steps
down to the kitchen.
Here they found Jan in high spirits because
the doctor had promised to come within a
half hour. Jack's crying startled him , and
one look at his mother 's whit e face made him
dash up to his father's room. It was fully
five minutes before he returned. In the meantime his mother had almost succeeded in drying Jack's tears. Jan 's mind was dazed.
With tear dimmed eyes he knelt beside his
mother 's knee and slipped his cold moist hand
in hers. She clutched it tightly and found
comfort in its assuring grasp. When she had
recoved her voice she closed her eyes, laid her
hand on Jan's shoulder, and spoke a few short
sentences in prayer; they were earnest and instilled in Jan the will, the determination to
use his small might for his mother and brothers that they might be able to keep their happy though meager home.
"Dear God", she prayed, give us strength
to bear this sorrow and do the work before
us. Help Jan and I to follow in thy path and
may we somehow, Dear Lord, by thy goodness be able to live together. There must be
a way, and we will find it, and work together
and keep the three small boys together—give
us strength O, Lord !

Nature got tired
Of her dress of green,
And changed this dress
Before Hallowe'en.
She found more suitable
For wear in the fall
Brown, orange, and yellow;
She likes them all.
But in a very short time
She was tired of this too
And decided before long
To try something new.
She decided at last
On a coat of soft ermine,
.
Why she chose that
Is hard to determine.
At last she was satisfied
With all her new clothes
And decided to keep
These nice dresses she chose.

BLOOM TAKES MANSFIELD

and Bloom surrendered the ball on their, own
45 yard line. Mansfield tried three passes

The Mansfield full back went back to try

little to the left of the uprights and Bloom
took the ball on the 20 yard line. A pass to

The first play in the next period resulted
in an 8 yard gain when Jaffi n took the ball

for a touchdown. The kick for the extra
point was blocked.
Mansfield elected to receive and Swinehart
kicked to Mansfield 's 25 yard line. It was

when they opened up a series of passes and
held the ball on Bloom 's 7 yard line when
the half ended—Bloomsbur g 6, Mansfield 0.
The third quarter bega n with Mansfield
kickin g off. Kirker caught the kick on the
20 yard line and ran 25 y.'irds before he was

Bloom ripped off 4 first downs only to lose

A penalty of 15 yards for unnecessary roughness set Bloomsbur g back for a Mansfield
first down. Kirker then grabbed a pass from

first down. Two more plays resulted in another first down. Kraynack reversed the

North Hall News
The presidential election returns excited
great interest in North Hall. The radio regulations were removed for the occasion and
there was a large number of boys in the lobby
until a late hour.
The fellows who did not get new dressers
and those who have no wardrobe in their room
are still hoping for better things.
Joe Slominski told a number of other Freshmen that it was useless to go back to the
bathroom for a cake of soap. Most of them
had already found that out.
The Freshmen-Upperclassmen game is getting, in some respects, like a political cam-
Dramatic Club
On November 8, the weekly meeting of the
Dramatic Club was held in the auditorium at
6:40 o'clock. President Pennington called the
meeting to order ; the secretary, Miss Welliver
called roll by numbers she had previously
given to each member.
The play "Q" was then presented. It was
directed by Jack Fortner who also played a
prominent role in it. The cast consisted of:
Jack—Jack Fortner ; Kurtz ; Blithe, the butler—Devine; Evelyn Jenkins.
The play was well acted ; it was followed by
an interesting discussion and criticisms.
Miss Johnson discussed having the picture
of our club put in the Obiter, the college yearbook. She also said that some Freshmen
who had been asked to take part in plays of
the club had refused to do so. As membership in this club is attained by participation ,
not by being merely part of the audience,
everyone who is given a part in a club play
must accept it, have a reason for not accepting it or be released from the club.
The meeting was then adjoruned.

Advertisements are very well paying propositions these days and since the demand for
good advertising
writers is constantly
growing we have taken it up ourselves to try
to relieve the shortage by a few lessons in
Truthful advertising. The main point we
are stressing is TRUTH , which as you know
by this time is Ruth with a T in front of it ,
which we surmise is the average advertising
man 's idea of it.
By the aid of this course you will acquire
the fundamentals and will be able to do as
the convict who studied a Latin Book while
in the electric chair , "Burn while you learn. "
Wanted: A young man to work in store ,
easy hours, good pay, and a chance for advancement for right party, chance of a life
time for ambitious person.
Our new truthful way:
Wanted: Man between the ages of 14 and
64, to ..sweat and labor in cellar of grocery
store , hours from 5 a. m. to 10 p. m., paymenf is in form of profit sharing coupons
and gold stamps, all the groceries you can
eat as we allow no eating in the baiement
This job is a rut for the average man as we
only advance to higher positions those people who are cousins and nephews to the boss,
however you need not apply as no doubt by
the time you call the position will have already been filled.
Lost: genuine Pekingese dog, twice a blue
ribbon winner , extremely valuable but wanted more because of sentimental reasons than
anything else, large reward offered for return
of dog to Lombard , 1987-X.
By Our Truthfu l Method :
Lost: a mangy looky creature which for
want of a better name we have called a dog,
has the blood of sixteen different breeds running through his veins but because the shop
keeper who sold him to us called him a Pekinegse we have continued to do so; would be
glad to be rid of him but the women of the
family are the reasons for this ad; had no
love for the dog except the fact that he once
bit the little red-headed brat who lives next
door. No reward will be given as we ourselves saw the dog run over by a Mack truck ,
however , if you have a pooch resembling a
Pekingese bring to 1987 Maple ave. and will
The gang, Buddy, Hibby, Mack , Anna ,
Gavey, and Sta held a birthday party, Monday evening, in room 330 in honor of Mary
Kay Storosko.
A delicious luncheon was served but the
most important part of it was the large chocolate birthday cake received fro m home.
Miss Gertrude Gavey spoke on the significance of a birthday party in a young girl 's
life; Miss Stacia Audelevicz rendered several
vocal selections. An exhibition of a Tropical dance was given by Miss Sophia Makarczyk and Hawaiian music was furnished by
Miss Eleanor Zydanowicz on her guitar.
Miss Anna Morgis gave some imitations and
pantomimes of the outstanding characters of
this school. Miss Emma Hibian was kept
busy serving the hungry "Wallerians "
The party was unwillingly brought to a
close at "Lights Out " with a word of thanks
and appreciation by Miss Mary K. Storosko.
We are glad to see so many of our Berwick friends back with us again. We were
sorry that others must leave us; however,
th ere is an old adage, "Distance lends enchantment. "
We notice that Danville Square Dances
and triple-dates are becoming exceedingly
popular with certain fourth floor Freshmen.
Many girls were home over the week-end.
A self-appointe d committee was waiting for
them at the door and took the names of all
bearing suspicious looking packages. Inves- *
tigations were carried on later; practically all
bore fruitful (and cakeful ) results. Among
those entertaining were: Eleanor Dwyer,
Katie Astleford , Ruth Bennage, Grace Reichard , Florence Baker , Belle Foulds, Geraldine Morgan , Florence Jones and Dorothy
Welker.
The Dorm has been quite noisy over the
¦week end having many visitors fro m Berwick.
Sit up and take notice; Dorothy Voigt
spent the week 'end at Nanticoke. We wonder what the attraction is Dot?
Third floor was the main attraction last
week when the girls in room 354 held a party.
Helen Wheaton and Elizabeth Williams
have mastered the back somersault so well ,
that they have been booked for a two year
contract with the Ziegfield Follies.

BLOOM TAKES MANSFIELD
12 - O
Maroon and Gold Administers First Defeat
to Mansfield
If Mansfield reckoned on a repetition of
last year 's victory when the Maroon and
Gold came home at the short end of a 39-0
score, they were sorely disappointed Saturday, November 10th , when the stalwart
Bloomsburg eleven strode throu gh the Red
and Black line and chalked up a pair of
touchdowns in spite of Mansfield's reputatiQn fef geod football.
Casting aside their strong aerial attack, the
Bloomsburg boys played straight football almost the entire game, ripping off yard after
yard through Mansfield' s supposedly strong
line.
In spite of the loss of big John Harry from
the line-up Bloomsburg 's line has never
shown better stuff. Working with all the
power and fight they could summon , the line
was almost impenetr able and time after time
the boys in the backfield found holes neatly
opened up for them as they drove off tackle
and through center for yardage. Pennington , who, because of injuries , did not line up
against Lock Haven , was back in his old
position while Krafchick took the otherguard
in place of Yacabonis. >#Yock " who vas also suffering from injuries returned to play a
short time against Mansfield. Joe Wadas
also took his old position at end for a few
minutes.
The fine defensive work of Krafchick , who
has just recently worked his way into the
Bloomsburg line-up, was almost a special
feature of the game. Time and again "Kraffy " was found at the botto m of the tackle
wh en a Mansfield back tried to break his way
through the line. "M owrer " whose injuries
confined him to the bench , will no doubt be
out to defeat Seminary in this Saturday 's
game. Ruch back at center played true to
form a nd was a b i g man in Bl o om sburg 's opposition.
Bloom ki cked off deep into Mansfield territory and the ball was run to the thirty-yard
line. Thr ee unsuccessful play s and a kick
gave t he h o me bo y s t he ball on t h ei r o w n
45 yard line. An incomplete pass and Kraynack took the ball throu gh center for 8 yards.
Kirker dro ve off right tackle for a first down
and "Nick" Jaffin wen t around end for 9
y ards , Again "Tam " Kirker cli pp ed c ff an
easy 8 yards throug h center.
Mansfield rallied and staved off a drive
through center , Warmain went back and
carried the ball for 3 yards and Jaffin on the
next play cleared the end for 2 yards. An
incomplete forward and Mansfield took the
ball on their own 27 yard line. 5 yards in
three downs and the Red and Black received

SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA HOLDS AUDIENCE
SPELL-BOU ND
Ethel Leginska Great Leader
What an array of instruments greeted our
eyes when we gathered on Wednesday night,
November 7th , to hear the Boston Women 's
Symphony Orchestra ! How Miss Ethel Leginska could lead! She held the audience spellbound tor the entire two hours of performance, for it certainly was more quiet than it
generally is.
The following is the program; Glinke-Ovgratur e, "Russian and Ludmilla. " Beethoven-Symphony No. 5, opus 57, (a) Allegro,
con brio; (b) Andante con moto; (c) Allegro
(Scherzo); (d) Allegro Maestoso , Presto;
Liszt-Hungarian Fantasie for Piano and Orchestra; Rimsky-Korsakoff , Dance of the
Clowns , fro m the opera "The Snow Maiden; " Wagner-Overture "Rienzi ."
An encore was called for and the orchestra rendered that very beautiful selection
"Cavalleria Rusticana. "
The orchestra has left in the minds of the
people of Bloomsburg a wonderful memory
and one they will not soon forget. Music
like that which was played by those fine women musicians will live on and up lift one
fro m the dull monotony of life to the beautifu l realm of pure and wholesome enjoy ment and pleasure.
War Futile , Topic of Rev. Heistand 's Speech
Mr. Buella Talks on Experience in France
On Friday, November 9, Armistice Day
was observed in chapel. The first speaker
was Mr. Buella of the 28th division. He told
of his experiences in the war, such as: the trip
over, experien ces in England , experiences under first gun-fire at Calais^ France and life in
the trenches.
The next speaker , Reverend Heistand, tried
to show us the futility of war. His speech
was one which made us think , for he said there
isn't any glory in war. If anything should
make us wish to out-law war, Mr. Heistand's
talk should.
We closed this fine program by singing
"The Star-Spangled Banner",

BE APPRECIATIVE
Be appreciative of the finer things in life.
Last Thursday night we had the opportunity of hearing The Boston Women 's Symphony Orchestra conducted by the famous
Ethel Lsginska , who is an artist of great
ability .
As we all know , or at least should have realized this was a very special occasion which
we should have appreciated. There were in
the audience some music lovers. There were
also some students in the audience who didn 't
seem to appreciate or estimate the value of
thi? program. They coughed , whispered ,
moved , and shuffled their programs. This
continued until Miss Leginska requested them
to keep still or leave. We were very sorry
this had to happen and we should hereby resolve not to have a repetition of this incident. We are all old enough to know better.
This may seem trivial to us, but let us consider the impression it made on our visitors.
Let us keep in mind the fact , that our behavior reflects on our home-training and our
COLLEGE.

The Test
Many country people are used to hardships
and sacrifices that are so common they do not
recognize them as such. The Careys were
such a family. They lived on a small farm
whose fertility had long been exhausted, and
seemed to gather a livlihood for four small
boys from the very rocks on the clay covered
hillsides. The father of the family was not
well at any time, and this particular winter
. was forced to spend much time indoors. The
mother a small woman and frail in appearance, worked early and late. She did the
work for the family, helped in the fields whenever needed , kept the children in school, and
despite her fraility created an atmosphere
about the house that meant but one thing , and
that was a real home.
One Saturday morning Mr. Carey did not
have strength enough to rise from his bed.
• His wife was greatly alarmed, but she said
nothing about it as she prepared the simple
breakfast.
"Where is Dad?" inquired Jan the oldest
boy, as the family drew around the breakfast
table.
"He felt tired t his morning, so I did not
waken him ," the mother smilingly answered
patting Jack , the baby boy^ on the cheek.
Outwardly she was calm and her own sweet
self, but inwardly her mind was in a turmoil.
She knew that her husband was quite sick.
Usually she had trouble keeping him in bed ,
but today he showed no desire to rise. His
breath came in gasps and his head was hot.
As soon as breakfast was over she slipped
quietly upstairs unobserved. Quietly she
pushed the door ajar and entered the room.
He was apparently sleeping, but his breath
was more irregular. As she watched he tossed from one side of the bed to the other.
Restless, feverish, she did know what else.
Doctors were expensive so one was not often
called. But to her this seemed an especially
urgent case. She went back to the kitchen.
Before the boys started out to do the morning chores, she called Jan aside and said, "Jan ,
I believe we should call Dr. Good to come and
see Dad. He doesn 't look very good to me.
Suppose you run down to Mrs. Beeche's and
ask her to call him on the phone for us."
Jan , too, was alarmed. "You think he is
awfully sick, Mother? Maybe its only a cold,
but I'll go and be back soon to milk. I'll be
back soon, Mother," and he darted out of the
door.
His two younger brothers went on with the
chores forgetting their father had not been up
for breakfast. Baby Jack played around on
the kitchen floor until his mother had
finished the dishes. She humidly picked
up Jack , afraid to leave him alone, and ran
up the stairs hoping to find the sick man awake. She opened the door again very softly
and stood Jack on the floor inside. She walked quietly to the bed. Her hands fell by her
side, her knees gave way under her, and she
fell forward her face striking the bed as if she
were going to faint. She quickly caught herself and began rubbing her eyes with clenched
fists as though to strike away an illusion. Be-
fore her lay her husband , not tossing restlessly,
but still. Cold drops of perspiration were on
his forehead, and his eyes were opened wide
in a horrible fixed stare.
"Dead?" She whispered huskily, and again
repeated, "Dead." She wanted to scream, to
fly, to cry, but remembered Jack who because of his mother's strange actions came
closer to the bed. She pulled the sheet over
the drawn face before the child saw.' Not a
tear came to her eyes and her voice was calm
as she picked up the boy and spoke very low,
"Daddy 's gone to sleep; dear, and I'm afraid
he'll never be awake again."
Jack only opened his eyes in wonderment
and inquiry, so she explained further , but it
was not without much effect.
"He's gone to Heaven , Jackie, where you'll
go some day if you're a good boy."
Jack began to understand that he would
never see his father again and started to cry
as his mother earned him with uncertain steps
down to the kitchen.
Here they found Jan in high spirits because
the doctor had promised to come within a
half hour. Jack's crying startled him , and
one look at his mother 's whit e face made him
dash up to his father's room. It was fully
five minutes before he returned. In the meantime his mother had almost succeeded in drying Jack's tears. Jan 's mind was dazed.
With tear dimmed eyes he knelt beside his
mother 's knee and slipped his cold moist hand
in hers. She clutched it tightly and found
comfort in its assuring grasp. When she had
recoved her voice she closed her eyes, laid her
hand on Jan's shoulder, and spoke a few short
sentences in prayer; they were earnest and instilled in Jan the will, the determination to
use his small might for his mother and brothers that they might be able to keep their happy though meager home.
"Dear God", she prayed, give us strength
to bear this sorrow and do the work before
us. Help Jan and I to follow in thy path and
may we somehow, Dear Lord, by thy goodness be able to live together. There must be
a way, and we will find it, and work together
and keep the three small boys together—give
us strength O, Lord !

Old Dog, when you stood between me and the

You snarled and growled, for

You face the skeptic world with a fearless

You're innocent but yet so wise!
I raised you from a wee, tottering pup, and
I know your ways.

Old Pal , I wouldn't trade you for any friend.
Yes, I know—you're only black and tan
And you have no pedigree,
But you've been to me more than any man.
We've romped the woods in care-free joy,
And we've sat in heart-felt sorrow—
But I could always depend on you-a dog.
You can't speak, I know, but when you wag
that tail
And smile, I know you understand.
You remember, Old Boy, when you cut your
paw?
You came to me and held it up—I washed and
Bandaged it.
Your faithful , limpid eyes followed my every

Your shining loyalty unflecked by doubt.

An d softl y touched me with a longing
For white sailed ships!
Careening deep into the morn
Along some topless sea
Would bring a joy as keen as pain.
Or keen as rain-drench'd trees!
I'd look into the eyes of a western storm
And watch it rise
Harkening to the Sea's storm cries!
The long, cool fingertips
Of rain , came down and kissed my lips
With all the mystery and lore
Of seas and white sailed ships!

You and I, who walked the hills

And makes you tired of song,
When time brings back the Youth with

And you know joys of Love,

Nature got tired
Of her dress of green,
And changed this dress
Before Hallowe'en.
She found more suitable
For wear in the fall
Brown, orange, and yellow;
She likes them all.
But in a very short time
She was tired of this too
And decided before long
To try something new.
She decided at last
On a coat of soft ermine,
.
Why she chose that
Is hard to determine.
At last she was satisfied
With all her new clothes
And decided to keep
These nice dresses she chose.

The presidential election returns excited
great interest in North Hall. The radio regulations were removed for the occasion and
there was a large number of boys in the lobby

Dramatic Club
On November 8, the weekly meeting of the
Dramatic Club was held in the auditorium at
6:40 o'clock. President Pennington called the
meeting to order ; the secretary, Miss Welliver
called roll by numbers she had previously
given to each member.
The play "Q" was then presented. It was
directed by Jack Fortner who also played a
prominent role in it. The cast consisted of:
Jack—Jack Fortner ; Kurtz ; Blithe, the butler—Devine; Evelyn Jenkins.
The play was well acted ; it was followed by
an interesting discussion and criticisms.
Miss Johnson discussed having the picture
of our club put in the Obiter, the college yearbook. She also said that some Freshmen
who had been asked to take part in plays of
the club had refused to do so. As membership in this club is attained by participation ,
not by being merely part of the audience,
everyone who is given a part in a club play
must accept it, have a reason for not accepting it or be released from the club.
The meeting was then adjoruned.

Advertisements are very well paying propositions these days and since the demand for

Truthful advertising. The main point we

which we surmise is the average advertising

Gavey, and Sta held a birthday party, Monday evening, in room 330 in honor of Mary
Kay Storosko.
A delicious luncheon was served but the
most important part of it was the large chocolate birthday cake received fro m home.
Miss Gertrude Gavey spoke on the significance of a birthday party in a young girl 's
life; Miss Stacia Audelevicz rendered several
vocal selections. An exhibition of a Tropical dance was given by Miss Sophia Makarczyk and Hawaiian music was furnished by
Miss Eleanor Zydanowicz on her guitar.
Miss Anna Morgis gave some imitations and
pantomimes of the outstanding characters of
this school. Miss Emma Hibian was kept
busy serving the hungry "Wallerians "
The party was unwillingly brought to a
close at "Lights Out " with a word of thanks
and appreciation by Miss Mary K. Storosko.
We are glad to see so many of our Berwick friends back with us again. We were
sorry that others must leave us; however,
th ere is an old adage, "Distance lends enchantment. "
We notice that Danville Square Dances
and triple-dates are becoming exceedingly
popular with certain fourth floor Freshmen.
Many girls were home over the week-end.
A self-appointe d committee was waiting for
them at the door and took the names of all
bearing suspicious looking packages. Inves- *
tigations were carried on later; practically all
bore fruitful (and cakeful ) results. Among
those entertaining were: Eleanor Dwyer,
Katie Astleford , Ruth Bennage, Grace Reichard , Florence Baker , Belle Foulds, Geraldine Morgan , Florence Jones and Dorothy
Welker.
The Dorm has been quite noisy over the
¦week end having many visitors fro m Berwick.
Sit up and take notice; Dorothy Voigt
spent the week 'end at Nanticoke. We wonder what the attraction is Dot?
Third floor was the main attraction last
week when the girls in room 354 held a party.
