CIVILIZATIO N OF WESTERN EUROPE DISCUSSED BY DR. RAIGUEL-HOOVER 'S
TRIP IMPORTANT
Dr. Raiguel, on December 14, 1928, gave
another of his lectures. This lecture was on
"The Civilization of Western Europe". However, he did not entirely devote him self t o
Europe, but brought in interesting facts about
South America, North America and Asia.
Dr. Raiguel outlined briefly the trip of
Hoover to South America and its meaning,
and gave some very amusing comments on
the conditions of the Latin American countrie s, especially of that between Bolivia and
Paraguay.
He discussed the plan which Coolidge presented to the world on Armistice Day, concerning a naval program. All the nations of
the world are watching with interest the way
in which Congress will deal with the program.
Alt ogether , Dr. Raiguel's talk was very enlightening, and on e saw the conditions of the
world in their truer aspect, than ever before.
At the end he asked' the audience to ask
questions which p uzzled it, and the result wa s
very gratifying to all.

Marionnette Show Proves Grea t Treat —Thrilling Escapades and Amusing Songs Given
On December 19th, Sue Hastings Marionnettes entertained us with very thrilling escapades, plays and amusing songs. There
were even a few murders , a runaway horse
and a talking tree.
At the end of the performance, the back
stage was revealed to us, and we were shown
how a marionnette show is operated. The
entire show was very interesting, and the
people who did the back-stage work are certainly to be congratulated on their fine performances , which were very difficult to do.

BLOOMSBUR G CAGERS CRUSH LOCK HAVEN
SCORE 48-12
When Bloomsburg 's basket-ball aggregation
left Lock-Haven State .Teachers College they
took with them their second decisive league
victory.
The Lock Haven quintet was at a loss just
what to do during the most of the game, so
did practically nothing. Shots dropped in
continuously under the skillful guidance of a
wearer of the Maroon and Gold. The boys
could ha ve don e even b ett er if they ha d played with a little more spirit and teamwork.
Time after time easy shots failed. The defense was very good however. Out of the
twelve points Lock Haven scored, only six
wer e field goals, the other six were neatly executed foul shots.

Bloom Takes First League Game from Kutztown
Jr. Varsit y Lost to Berwick A. C.
We all remember John Harry, who played
such a brilliant game at tackle during football season.
When the Berwick Athletic Club packed
up their suits and came down here to play a
little basket-ball with our second squad,
they brought with them our old friend John.
So when the referee's whistle blew and the
boys lined up in their positions John immediately took center and the top as well. Since
the above mentioned stands in the neighborhood of six feet, four inches, it was hardly
worth while for our boys to do much more
than play a defensive off center , Our boys
played well but were no match for the strong
offense of the Berwick aggregation . The closing score was 37-19.
Kutztown formed the same kind of meat
for our varsity as the second squad did for
Berwick. It was a fast game but quite apparent that Bloom had the edge. Team work
and working through Kutztown's defense was
the main source of our ability to score.
Most of our shots were caged from under
the basket, nor did the ball get there through
individual work , but by clever and fast passing. The home team had very good control
of the ball. The ease with which the Maroon
and Gold scored the victory is well demonstrated by the final score of 58-33.

POLITICAL CAMPAIGN AND SMOKER HELD
IN NORTH HALL
POLITICS TOPIC OF EVENING
The men 's annual Christmas vacation sendoff was held in the lobby of North Hall ,
Thursday, December 20, 1928. This gala
event began about 10:30 P. M. and was finally broken up the following morning by the
•milkman.
" The program arranged for this melee featured a mock , senatorial campaign , which appeared to a noted promoter as an opportunity for an excessive gate. The promoter engaged both candidates for the senatorship of
Pennsylvania and their most active and best
talking suppoi ters. Senator "Joe Beck" from
.Glen Lyon in Luzerne county, who at the
present time is up for re-election was undoubtedly the most important and most popular figure in this Flanders (where the mud
for §!inging was supplied , but even with all
of this he could not eclipse the personality of
"Fighting Joe " from Scranton. "Beck " entered his name on the Republican ticket
while McKenna took the low tariff defense
for his party. He was also supported by the
Scranton United Mine Workers.
The promoter , the elucidating Mr. Saul
Gutter , handled this important business venture in true "Tex Rickard fashion " and served as toast-master, introducing all of the
speakers.
The first speaker called to the stand was
"Dynamite " Yacabonis, who resides in
Mahanoy City, Pa. Almost immediately the
"Flander 's-like " complexion was thrown on
the campaign. "Yac " opened fire by accusing ''Beck" of supporting the Orphans '
Homes during his term of office. The "Beck"
cohorts had no come back.
Next called was James Joseph Johns , a
dynamic supporter of "Fighting Joe, " who
also hails from the "Electric City ." Johns
told how many years he had spent at Sing
Do Sing prison with the noble McKenna ,
and of his sterling character. It seems accordcontinued on page 4

EDITORIAL
S. 0. S.
Editorial expression occupies valuable
space in this issue. The occasion , however ,
is one .that demands radical measures. The
Maroon and Gold has a reputation for giving valuable news and service. We cannot
continue to do this if we do not get the support of the student body! Exactly 28% of the
student body subscribed to the paper durin g
the first semester; think of it , exactly 28%!
Is the percentage going to remain the same
during the second semester? We hope not ,
for if it does it means that we are going to be
forced to the wall. Fellow studen ts , do y ou
realize that there is an unwritten tra dition
that the sch o ol p ap er must g o on? If t here i s
any one in this school who cannot afford the
small sum of fifty cents for a semester subscription , let the Staff Office know and they
will see that you are DONATED a paper.

Communit y Government Association
There is functioning in our college an Associ ati on w hich many of our stu dent s know littl e
or nothing about. This Association is one
which was formed to promote self-government , cond u ct student affair s in an efficient ,
orderly, and systematic manner and to show
the students their responsibilities and privileges while in attendance here. Every student and member of the fa culty is a member
of the Association which is known as the
Community Government Association , and it
is the duty of all m embers to vote on matters
pertaining to student life and interests.
Dr. Haas, as well as the Deans of Men and
Women, the Dean ef Instruction and the Dir ector of the Training School ar e m embers of
the Association and all matters passed on by
the Association are approved by Dr. Haas
before they become effective. To have the
entire student body meet at a regular time
and discuss the problems which come before
this Association would be almost impossibl e
an d would result in accomplishing very litt le,
so each class has appointed representatives
who are known as a Student Council to investigate affairs and bring them before the
Council for discussion.
From this council of students have been
appointed several committees to serve the
student body. These committees are : Social,
Fire, Lobby, Hospitality , Dining Room and
Grievance. A member of the Student Council is chairman and this chairman chooses the
members of the committee from the student
body.
Some work has been done by these committees this year and the great success of our
social functions has been due in a large measure to the efforts of the social and lobby
committees. The placing of gravel on some

I had won the local oratorical contest of a
week before. As a lone Junior competing
against accomplished Seniors I was very much
more surprised and not a little elated when I
discovered that I won-to be more exact I was
fairly bursting with joy. I became conceited.
I thought I was THE most important person
in High School that week. I pictured myself
in all sorts of costumes addressing multitudes.
Always I saw the people thrilling with patriotism and a noble love of country culminating in a fine fev er of devotion as I dre w ne ar
the climax. These pictures were very pleasant to me. Why wouldn't they be? I was
the heroine , the central controlling figure in
them all.
Friday noon my mood changed. That night
I was to compete in the district meet. The
nearer eight o'clock came, the worse I felt.
I could not sit still. I could not walk comfortably. I could not eat. I could not think.
I thought of pretending to be sick but that
seemed childish and besides it would be hard

to fool my mother.
There was only one means of escape left.
That was a direct intervention of Providence.
I clutched at this last hope as a drowning
man would. Recalling vividly the sermon of
a week bef ore, the text of which was, "Ask
and ye shall r eceive" I petitioned fervently and
constantly that something—anything happen.
Perhaps the Buick , a ten year old model,
would refuse to start. It sometimes did.
Perhaps ! Oh !—perhaps—anything !
Dad was gone a long time before I heard
the chug, chug, chug of the machine as it
backed from the garage. My hopes were rising but ther e was no question about going.
It had started. We climbed in and were on
our way to Muncy, seven miles away.
The others chatted of the moonlight, lighted
shop windows, people whom we passed and
town gossip while we sped along but I was
outwardly.
silent
Inwardly, I was praying beseechingly.
"Father God, I can't do it. I CAN'T do it,
Maybe it's pure funk. I suppose it is—but,
well
1can't, simply can't
You know
this car. YOU know how much trouble we've
had with it lately. Can't something happen
tonight? Just an axle, Lord, that will be
enough. Why not a couple of "blow-outs"
or engine trouble? Can't
or a puncture
you do something, Lord ? Please? Please?
Please ?
Talk about prayer as dominant desire!
Never a truer prayer welled up out of my
heart than that. But all was to no avail. It
was unanswered. Never did our Buick, "Isabella", run so disgustingly well in all the
years of our ownership. We arrived in Muncy. I repeated my, "After the French and
Indian War and all danger of invasion had
ceased etc" and the contest was over.

"Philanthro py "

Mrs. Tweedy was the outlet for the town 's
charity . The conscience-stricken rich gave
her the old dresses that were so moth-eaten
that they could not be used for carpet rags

or dust cloths. They gave her the high-topped shoes after the shoemaker had pronounced
soles and tops hopeless. So, of course, she
looked like a bundle of rags, limp, apathetic.
Her large dark eyes were dull and lusterless.
Her hair had straggled lifelessly from beneath
t h e brim of a str aw ha t much wrinkled and
discolored by the weather. Only one scarlet
flower had not succumbed to the onslaught.
It stood primly erect, nodding energetically
as she moved. The snow packed heavily on
her threadbare navy blue coat which sagged
on one side and flopped around her bedraggled
ankles. She plodd ed along the desert ed street
never noticing the snow and wind. Yes!
Mrs. Tweedy was a perfect recipient of charity
for she had no pride or ambition of her own.
She was content.

A Dreamer
I know not what 1 am.
I do not know myself.
1 only know—there is some deep thought
within my soul
That drives me on.
That drives me on
Over mountain , over sea,
Up hill , down dale,
To seek its goal.
My thoughts blaze across
My mind's sky like a flaming meteor ,—
They keep on soaring to sizzle into nothingness.
I've tried hard to cast off the frail covering
of my dreams,
•—But the lid sticks tight
Glued down by meaningless thoughts.
Thus I go on—hour after hour—
Day afte r day—
Year after year—
Condemned — a dreamer.

'Tis queer that we are one,
The weak; the brave ,
Forgotten in the d ust ,
Forlorn in some far grave.

Comforted by rain;

A Storm — some heart 's pain!
'Tis queer , how we are one;
The He a r t of Go d,
Fl esh of Man
And then the Sod!

Suddenly your shadow
Fell upon the wall,
But there was nothing there
At all.
At all !
You stood behind my chair,
I reached to touch your hand
And closed on nothingness—
Where did you stand ?
Softly you keep coming so,
And come not yet at all ,
Like stars behind a mist
Or shadows on my wall !

The Airplane

A hum — a speck ,
A roar — a large speck,
Slowly into the quiet air
A mechanical monster comes.
What mechanical bird is this
Coming thru the rising mist ,
Sending waves of air against
The ears of wonder — looking men?
A drone — a speck ,
A hum — a dying speck,
And out of our sight it goes,
As swift and gracefu l as it came.

BLOOMSBURG CAGERS CRUSH LOCK HAVEN
SCORE 48-12
continued from page 1

Hail ! Hail ! The gang's all here. Namely:
Wambaugh, Yacabonis, Wadas, Wilson, Golder, Fisher, Kirker , Morgan and last but not
least Kraynack. Here and in action.
It matters not that our honored and respected graduates came here with a real team
of men. It matters not that their team-work
was excellent, their spirit fine , and their shots
and floor-work well worthy of the Maroon
and Gold. They were up against the doughty
college boys. Those men of the loyal alumni
expected and were glad to meet the stuff that
they knew was developed in good old Bloomsburg. They got it!
60 to 32 is a right honorable score but the
alumni showing was by no means poor. Who
can doubt the ability of Arch Turner, Red
Garrity and Van Buskirk? Who forgets the
boys who came here, kid , fought for their
Alma Mater and went out into the world,
men?
We have another gang too in our basketball list. Bloomsburg High with a snappy
team of red and white uniformed cagerg^
came up and gave the Junior Varsity a real
run for their money. However a score of 2612 sufficed to point out that our boys were
superior. The Junior Varsity set an excellent
precedent for the following game between the
Alumni and the first team.
The first game was rather rough and the
first half found both sides very unsure of the
ball and they lacked control. Consequently
the conflict was rough and shots came from
almost any part of the floor. Better work
developed in the second half and the final
whistle closed a game quite worthy of the
large crowd which witnessed it.
The varsity game was fast and with the
advantage of a center who could play as well
as jump, some real action could naturally be
assured. "Gordie" contrary to campus report
is neither 3 feet six nor six feet 3. He is six
feet three and three quarters.
Kraynack, who started at guard , twisted
his knee and closed his basket-ball season immediately. Wambaugh went in at center
and Golder shifted to Kraynack guard and
the game continued.
Long shots seemed to be the strength of
the alumni offence. Time and again Turner
would strut his stuff and cage a shot from
anywhere so long as he was not too near the
basket.

ing to Johns , that McKenna was a "trusty "
for two days at the end of five years serving
of a fifteen year sentence when he escaped.
Thats why he can run for Pennsylv ania Senatorship.
"Eddie " Jenkins was next called to the
stand. He upset all oi the dope by throwin g
all of his influence to the "Beck" faction.
Mr. Jenkins is a Scranton man and every one
thought he would support "The Live Wire
fro m the Electric City. " Wall Street immediately offered odds a 4 to 3 on "Beck". The
"Beck" faction gave a fanatic display on
hearing the news.
The next person to speak was "Fighting

Joe " McKenna 's campaign manager "W arden " Jones from "Sing Do Sing " prison
(Chinese for Sing Sing. ) He spoke as having known both men most of their lives. He
gave the best qualities cf both and called Senator "Beck" a "l ow-life. " This proved to
be a fatal mistake for "Ex " Mathews drew
some artillery from his hip pocket and fired
three shots at Jone§. Fortunately an insurance agent saw this attempted murder , recognized the warden as being more valuable
alive than dead to him , made a way for the
noted "Jones 's" escape. By the way, one
of "Ex " went wild and penetrated the "stove
p ip e " hat of his boss.
Mathews then undertook to undue the
wrong he had done.
He took the stand.
First he justified his assault against the "W arden " and then he gave a very impressive
speech in favor of the Republican party.

Bets rose 6 to 4.
"Fighting Joe " McKenna , Democratic
nominee for the Senatorship of the State of
Pennsy lvania then took the stand. He spoke
of tariffs , farm blocs and what nots , and told
us of the noble support that he would give
the "American Society of Hoboes " if he was
elected to the office. This was a great boon
for the order of the "Knights of the Concrete
Trails. "
Next came the hero of the day, Senator
"Beck. " As he entered the speakers ' platform the house rocked with app lause; everybody were upon their feet and were certainly
giv ing the Republican fro m Luzerne county
a royal welcome. Beck ran a "rail-splitting "
campaign and he was attired in a "stove-pipe "
hat and a "swallow-tail" coat. He called attention the fact cf it bein g a "rail-splitting "
camp aign and told that his experience came
from using an oxy-ncetylene torch while
studying at Sing Do Sing Re prison. He
justified his support of the orphans ' asylum
and said "he would carry his fight to the very
vestibules of the Democratic strongholds , "
With that he closed raising odds 9 to 5.
Also at the smoker the Freshmen class were
released fro m the customs and "Prof. " Koch ,
our dean of men was presented with a small

Yes, we are beginning to get organized.

and trying to look dignified. Before him sat
three (3) more (shall I give them the benefit
of the doubt and say) intelligent faces? Well
anyway, there they sat : Dave Baker , grand
vice-president ; Dot Kisner exalted secretary ,
and Chet Hess, treasurer. Last but by no
means least, came Mr. Fenstamacher. He
received the office of class advisor with a unanimous vote, and with his help and assistance, we expect to have a very, very successful year.
Then at the last meeting of our class, Dot
Voight was elected class historian, and what
a history we will have. We shall strive for
only the best, so that only the best will go
down in history.
The members of the Sophomore class are :
Dave Baker, Roy Beishline, Beatrice Bowman , Elizabeth Bowman, Lewis Creveling,
Jimmy Davis, Helen Deppen , Ed DeVoe,
John Dyer, Eloise Evans, Frank Faus, Leorra Fierro, Helen Gibbons, Rebecca Gilmore ,
Frank Golder , Catherine Hayes. Erma Hefferan , Tom Henry, Chester Hess, Ila Ivey,
Elsie Keller, Tom Kirker, Dot Kisner, Frances Knickerbocker, Bob Knierim, Ada Kosmela, Arthur McKenzie, Helen Maynard ,
Marion Meixell, Ted Morrisey, Orval Palsgrove, "Stub" Pennington, Florence Regan ,
Doris Sechrist, Martin Sekulski, Dot Voight,
Bill Weaver, Clarence Wolever, Joseph Yacabonis, Esther Yeager.

is score keeper and time keeper. The roll
takers are A. Beratonis and R. Davis.
Any girl who is unable to play when her
team is scheduled to play, must report to her
captain before lunch of that day. The captain will get one of the general substitutes to
take her place. If the regular player goes to
see the game while the substitute plays, she
will receive the same number of points that
she would have received if she was playing.
But if she is not present she will lose the
points. All general substitutes receive points
the same as if they played on a team. If any
girl fro m another team acts as substitute she
receives no points.

" ONE PRICE TO ALL "

We suggest that the Locker Room would
be a good scene for a repainting of the picture "In Fear and Trembling," when the
Freshmen are observed while preparing for
the semester exams. Cheer up; you'll be a
Senior yet, and then exams will be just a
common occurence.
We're ready for the New Year ; we even
began with clean gym suits, and Lockers all
systematically arranged as to contents.
Commuting isn't so pleasant in cold weather.
School girl complexions are evident after coming to school now—no need of cosmetics even.
We haven 't as yet seen new, or even more,
tables to work on.

llloomsburg , Pa ,

There have been many and sundry happenings taking place in our place of abode this
week.
Charles Johns, our esteemed co-ed, has lost
his wooden legs and is back on his feet again.
"Young" Berninger fell out of his bed and
sprained his wrist as a result of nightmare,
caused by the superfluous attention of the
girls of B. S. T. C. Jasper Fritz is apparent- .
ly making a strenuous effort to sel
l more candy
to defray expenses caused by the presence of
a certain teacher at institute. "'Red" Creasy
is making a valiant effort to make up 9 credit
hours of work which got the best of him as a
result of spending to much time on the gridiron under the "care"of Coach Booth. "Stub"
Pennington is finding it extremely hard to
make the hours of his classes at B. S. T. C.
coincide with those of the Bloomsburg Hospital. "Mark" Fowler is finding it a pleasure
to "assist" the instructors at B. S, T. C. to
render a better service to the school. "Jim"
Hinkley has found that to be ticklish is decidedly not an advantage. "Herbie" Beishline has sung "Angela Mia" until the rest of
us can join in on the chorus.
