FOR CHAMPIONSHIP
Second Period Spurt Carries Throug h
When two teams of first-class athletes appeared upon the floor to do or die for the
honor of their Alma Mater on the basketball courts, no one questioned the occasion
nor the interest of the game.
A championship game carries with it something that takes young and old alike from the
pleasures of the book, pipe and friends to become lost in a crowd of excited , cheering enthusiasts , each with a single thought ,—victory
for his team. So it was on the eve of the
great game on March the ninth , the college
gym packed to its doors fairly groaned from
the strain and excitement of the championship event.
Millersville, the first to appear on the floor
went through a fast and splendid exhibition
of close shooting under the basket. Unsuccessful shots were few and far between , but
the Bloomsburg squad was by no means outdone in preliminary practice as time after
time the Maroon and Gold uniforms flashed
in the air and a well directed ball left the
hands of a Bloomsburg player.
When the opening whistle blew , both teams
started as from the mark and went into action. The visitors, with Gockley scoring frequently, nosed out a wide margin and held it
till the close of the second period grew alarmingly near and the lead was reduced to four
points as the team went off the floor between
halves.
Still maintainin g a lead , the visitors carried
their standard high till the approach of the
third period intermission , when a string of
tallies, uninterrupted by Millersville scoring,
totaled eleven points and brought the Maroon and Gold to the front for the first time.
The visitors closed in on the scoring and led
by one point at the end of the quarters.
Again the Bloomsburg boys got under way
and gaining the lead managed to hold it till a
four-point margin hung on the score-board
and the time-keeper 's pistol closed the game,
Bloomsburg-38, Millersville-34.

THE MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE
S. S. Ymca with a cargo of jazzined
college students sailed from New York Harbor, December 8, 1928 , for a cruise of the
Mediterranean Sea. The different activities
aboard ship wene broadcasted all over the
world and the following will be a record of
them.
The ship's orchestr a, which is, by the way,
from a small town in Pennsylvania, and
known as Alexander's Syncopators, boomed
forth with the National Emblem March.
On the way out of th e H arbor many di ff erent
emotions could be seen on the wharf. Amon g
the group could be seen forlorn , unhappy
lovers, sad parents and the very happy husbands all prepared to make "Whoopee ".
All this was broadcast from station Y. M.
C. A. broadcasting the news of the collegiate
cruise from the S. S. Ymca. Mr. Saul Gutter, the noted j ournalist broadcast the activities.
To the millions of listeners in the outside
world came. "This is station Y. M. C. A.
broadcasting from the S. S. Ymca, the cruiser bearing the students from the State Teachers College on a Mediterranean tour. Among
the notables on board were Mr. and Mrs.
Francis 8. Haas , Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Koch
and Miss Marguerite Kehr". "We are now
passing the Statue of Liberty and I will let
you listen in on "The Star Spangled Banner " which the S. S. Ymca band is now playing." Following that Mr. Gutter describes
the setting. "The orchestra is on the port
side of the deck and is playing a march
"Sailing, Sailing Over the Dark Blue Sea."
The deck has a canopy of green and yellow
streamers which come near the center of the
whole length of the deck. Between these an
artificial mast has been raised , extending
above the smokestacks. Up to the top of
the mast there are two rows of imitation ladders made of white and blue crepe paper,
and the ventilators are covered with white
and blue crepe paper.
At one end of the deck there is a light that
has been converted into an orange moon on
a blue ba ckground. The railings are covered with blue crepe paper with white dabs of
paint to bring out the roughness of the sea. "
Nothing eventf ul could be picked up for
several days from the Ymca , t hen af t er about

Bloomsbur g Wins Dual Debate from Mansfield
*
Jud ges Unanimous in Decisions
On Tuesday, April 9, Mansfield debated
Bloomsburg on the topic, Resolved: The
present jury system should be abolished. The
affirmatives of both teams debated at their
respective schools, and the negative teams
traveled. Bloomsburg won both debates by
a unanimous vote of the judges.
Bloomsburg 's affirmative tea m consisted of:
Martha Laird , rebuttal ; William Weaver ,
first speaker and Lois DeMott , second speaker. They put forth the following points
against the present jur y system:
1. There is at present an evolution at work
which is abolishing the jur y system and is establishing in its place a system of trial by
judge s.
2.- The jury system is inefficient,
3. The most capable citizens are exempt
from jury service.
4. Justice is being thwarted in making up
of the jur y panel.
5. The theory of the petty jury system is
a failure.
6. Justice can be administered by a j udicial tribunal of five capable citizens.
7. This system will overcome the fallacies
in the theory of the petty j ury system and
will free the jud ge from the duty of deciding
on admissibility of evidence to be brought
before an ignorant jury .
In conclusion they presented a plan of jury
trial to take the place of the present one.
Five men , trained in the law and of the highest intelligence , were to be chosen to serve
for ten years as juniors , and their ages were
not to be under thirty years eld.
The negative team of Bloomsburg, consisting of: Clarence Wolever , rebuttal; Jack
Fortner , firs t speaker and Grace Calendar ,
second speaker , submitted the following
points in favor of the present jury system:
1. Time has shown the necessity of a jur y
system.
2. Present jur y system is not rendering as
effective j ustice as it could.
3. It is the best way to administer justice.
4. Justice could be more effectively rendered if many of the hindrances and evils
were removed,

Local Hitch Hikers Meet with Disaster

Three prominent characters of North Hal l
namely "Dinny " Thomas , "Heck" Mower
and "Bud " Morgan will think twice before
they hitch hike to Stroudsburg again.
On Saturday last , quite uneventfully, they
left Bloomsburg bound for Stroudsburg to see
the basket ball team play there. Everything
went well until they got to Moscow (U. S. A.)
which is a few miles from their intended destination. Unable to get a ride by machine
they quite innocently decided to ride at the
expense of the Central Railroad of New J ersey which they did by hopping a passing
freight. The freight reached Stroudsburg but
went through so fast that they remarked ,
"That' s Stroudsburg, isn't it" . To make
ma tt er s wor se t h e t rain wen t on and on and
on—all the way to Newark , N. J .
All next day the boys spent in getting home
and u po n t heir arriv al at Nort h Hall t heir
weary appearance arhply supported their
somewha t startling adventure.

GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP
What counts more than anything? Good
Sportsmanship. Didn't it m ake us fe el good
when we saw that West Chester letter in
print? Whether we win or lose, th e thing
that "goes over big" is good sportsmanship.
Good sportsmanship always excels. Not
only in foot ball, hockey, basket ball , and
other games can good sportsmanship be applied but to all phases of our lives because a
good sportsman is a good loser and a gracious winner.
If we are the loser and have lost our point ,
but show good sportsmanship, we have still
won
the good word and kindly feeling
from someone else. If we have won the battle and have shown good sportsmanship it
adds to our already accomplished laurels.
Therefore, the good sportsman is never a
loser. "To the victor belongs the spoils,"
but to the good sportsman there are no spoils.

wers of most of them would be that they
would travel. Further questioning would
undoubtedly develope the fact that most of
their ideas of travel would be vague and hazy .
They would like to travel—where? Anywhere it would seem , just to get away from
the humdrum of existence and be "free ". '
Well , what is freedom? How many of us
know when we have it or when we do not
have it? Seemingly, if superficial definitions
are accepted , freedom is a something which
one must have before anything worth-while
can be accomplished. "If I were only free ,
what might I not do?" Which is tommyrot!
For the truth of the matter is that the greatest of human achievements have been accomplished by those fettered with mental and
physical handicaps and adverse circumstances.
Carlyle was afflicted with domestic discord
and his own miserable disposition. Beethoven composed the greatest of his sy m phonies
when stone-deaf. Oscar Wilde wrote the
most powerful of his poems, "The Ballad of
Reading Gaol", while hehind prison bars.
Robert Stevenson did his best work when
dying of tuberculosis. Edison deaf , Milton
blind , Burns uneducated , Franklin self-taught
—all intellectual giants it is true—but yet not
"free " in the sense that so many of us whine
about.
And so we do but delude ourselves when
idly dreaming of what we could or would do
"if we were only free ".
Freedom , if anything, is a sta te of mind ,
—a mind that keeps itself free from discontent , that will not allow itself to be defeated
by untoward circumstances. Is it not true
that when we desire most to "get away "from
everything and everyone , we are but fatuously endeavoring to get away from ourselves?
—and that is impossibl e. For whether our
mental flight ascends to the heights of heaven
or descends to the depths of hell , we cannot
escape ourselves. The inescapable truth remains that when we realize we are not all
that we hoped to be, when we feel that we
are not enjoying the pleasures that we believe
should be ours, it is not because we have not
been "free " to do so. It is because we have
been false to our ideals, unworthy of our inspirations , and inferior to our dreams.

We are ot that "species known as parasites. " We could write a whole book on ourselves , "but what is the use?" We 're too lazy.
According to a recent editorial a community
can be divided into three classes. We are
hated too greatly to be members of the first
group; too lazy and have too much pride to
be members of the second group; therefore we
are of that "species known as parasites. "
The social leaders in this community do us
our greatest favors. We make them leaders
for our own purposes. They hold their "high
and exalted" positions because we know we
could not. In the first place , we are "too
lazy; " secondly, we are not popular enough
nor important enough , in the eyes of our fellow stude-nts. This is sufficient proof to show
how we "parasites " need our aristrocracv.
We come to the communities ' middle class,
the "plodders. " The class "who ," as the editoria l stated "work alone in their individual
ways." Plodders are not individual. Had
they any individualit y they would not have
to "plod" . They grind away for two hours
on something other people can understand
in one. They use everyone else 's thoughts
but they never have any of their own. We
"parasites"are certainly indebted to this class.
This class blindly follow , and we dictate to
them what our "aristocracy " shall be. They
gladly elect. These people never question a
thing and make wonderful students!
We come now to our own group , the
"scum '' of the community, composed of
d reamers , schemers and "wise-crackers". We
take our "bawling-outs " for our inferior work
here as a matter of course. These come
mostly from our parents. While we are waiting for other members of the community to
get the "satisfactory slant" in their subj ects ,
we are studying Havelock Ellis , George Dorsey and other prominent writers.
In class discussion we usually take the leading parts. Here we can bring out our ideas ,
but here we are again suppressed. Why?
Because the aristocracy and the "plodders"
find difficulty in keeping up with our minds.
Leaders in many cases are being developed
from the inferior classes, only because these
classes show what little they do know. Ours is
concealed , therefore, we are misunderstood
and classed ass that "species known as parasites"

Homesickness
The sound of storm on waves
I came so far to know,
Makes me sick for Hills,
And winds that blow
Through sobbing, sighing trees
Made brave with woe!
And I, who hungered for the Sea;
Who dreamed of spray and f oam,
Now want the line of Hills—
Am sick for Home
And narrow woodland paths
To walk alone!

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
Comin g thr u th e ri sing mi st ,
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 graceful as it came.
C. C. Hess

Death
I wonder just what death is like—
I think I'd like to know—
I'd like to stay on Earth awhile,
But then I'd like to go
Beyond the realm of earthly space
To think and feel and see
What everlasting life might mean
And what a soul might be.
There is in life more good than ill
And it was always so;
Why, then , should we be even sad
To see our comrades go
To find ideals never found
Upon this dusty earth—
Ideals fine of Life and Love ,
Of gladsome Joy and Mirth?

From a Dormitory Window
The front campus now presents a beautiful
view. The stately trees adorning the walks
gently rustle their new robes of russet, brown
and gold, while a few lowlier sisters, still clad
in the garb of summer, stand wistfully apart.
Autumn has come and has transformed the
campus from the glowing beauty of summer
to its own softer and subtler hues. The dome
of Carver Hall, standing forth in beauty and
dignity, holds the eye. Far distant mountains loom upward against the horizon and
fill the watcher with a vague restlessness, a
spirit of Wanderlust. At dusk, the campus
itself, smooth and velvety and covered with
an avalanch e of leaves, becomes a veritable
fairyland. Hobgoblins and sprite, pixies and
e^ves lurk under th j Ieave3 and , when the
eye of mortal watches not, careen madly and
sway with the utmost grace before the dais of
the elusive Queen Mab.

Modern Song of Success

Announcement-Senior Class Banquet--1929

Succeed , succeed, hoard up great wealth ,
Amass great honor for yourself
By chivalry set not great store,
For what you have is what you are;
Fool though you be or idiot too,
With open arms they welcome you
When they but know that you are lord
And by the tons your gold is stored.
So trample, trample , push and slay
Them who but dare to block your way,
For they who once kicked you in dust
Will kiss your feet once know they must;
Although your road is rough and hard
Be you led on by your reward.
As good as is to be the king in cloth of gold ,
So bitter 'tis to be cast down—out in the cold
Caught fast in grey cloaked famine 's hungry
clutch
But bah! away with such
You must succeed!
And when you stand with brandished sword
Atop your golden gleaming horde
Then will the haughty make retreat
At last to grovel at your feet ,
So carry on , let none impede

The Senior Class Banquet will be held at
7:00 P. M. on May 16, 1929 in the College
Dining Room.
It will be formal for men and women.
A class dues receipt must be presented at
the door by all persons who attend.
If you have lost your receipt, a duplicate
may be obtained from the person to whom
your dues were paid.
To conserve space all tables at the banquet
will be arranged for eight people. It will be
necessary for every one to plan to attend in
groups of eight. This should be done as soon
as possible so no one will be separated from
his friends at dinner.
The committee will welcome any suggestions that may be used for the program that
evening. If you have any such suggestions,
please hand them to Mary Laird, Florence
Drummond, or Lawrence Creasy.

Haying Season

Saul Gutter

Mrs. Brown was canning raspberries when
her husband came into the kitchen. "Mary "
he said , "get me a glass of water."
"Can 't you see I' m busy? " she snapped.
"Get it yourself. "
"I didn 't mean to— "h e began timidly.
"You never mean too, but you always do.
Just when I get this can of berries all ready
to seal , you come in and ask me to jump all
over the place to get you a glass of water. "
"Where is a glass?"
"Just where they have been for the past
fifteen years, of course, and they are the same
glasses my mother gave me when we were
married , too. We've never been able to afford any new ones since. We can 't afford
anythin g for the house—the dishes are the
same , this kitchen has not had a new thing
since we were married except a lea-pot—and
that , the spout had fallen off of. No wonder
the old stove won 't burn! But you 've got
harro ws, seeders, plows and tractors for yourself."
"It's so hot on the hay today, Mary— "
"And hotter here I'll bet. This kitchen is
like a bake-oven and here I roast and swelter
and bake— "
Mr. Brown had fallen in a heap on the
floor. Mar y flew to him , dr opp ing her can
of raspberries on the table. It turned over
on its side and the sticky red juice oozed
o v er t h e zin c t able and tri ckled t o t he fl oo r
unnoticed.
"JIM , wha t's wrong? You know I didn 't
mean i t, Jim!"
Jim roused himself and looked at her dazedly. "I t was SO hot ," he said , "get me a
drink of water."

Big Bonfire Held on Friday Night
Real College Spirit Shown
The "Spiri t " of B. S. T. C." bloomed forth
in all its splendor Friday night on Mount
Olympus when the students held a mass meeting previous to the West Chester game Saturday afternoon . The whole student body
gathered around a huge bonfire prepared by
the Freshmen boys and yelled cheer after
ch eer under th e leadership of "Sh orty " Edmunds.
When the meeting was well under way the
cheer leaders turned it over to "Prof." Nelson , who did sort of a "Joe " Humphries in
calling upon the different speakers. The first
person he called upon was Coach Booth. The
Coach told what he expected from the team
and said that he knew the boys would give
all they had. He sure knew what he was
talking abont. Dean Koch, was called upon
next. It seems when he and "Prof. " Nelson
get together their conversation, (no, not conversation , but argument) is golf. After he
had vented his personl feelings he told some
things of real value.
Captain Kraynack was called upon next
and he received a long cheer. He said he
knew the boys would do their best to win the*
game. After him came Assistant Coach
"Vid" Jones, who praised the team on their
faithfulness during practice and predicted
'they would be just as faithful in the game.
We all know they were.
Deans Kehr and Sutliff, Professor Shortess,
Miss McCammon, and other members of the
facul ty gave short talks and seemed very
much enthused at the spirit the students were
showing this year.
The Freshman class are showing wonderful
co-operation for newcomers and deserve very
much credit for their share in making it a
success. The boys had a bonfire which would
give credit to any "pep " meeting anywhere.
The girls of the class made a wonderful impression on everybody by their march to the
field and also by their cheering.
This demonstration of spirit was a great
thing for our institution and even though the
boys lost the game it should not be thought
that the mass meeting did not do any good.
It made them feel as though they were being
appreciated and it developed something in
them to make them fight. This was the
Bloomsburg "Spirit". Lets have more of it.

THE MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE
continued from page 1

tion Y. M. C. A. broadcasting the S. S.
Ymca. A stowaway who gives his name as
"Hank" Warman has been found on board.
He claims he is "beating his way" to Europe
to his wealthy aunt to obtain money for voice
culture. Stowaways must earn their passage
so Mr. Warman will sing for you two popular
numbers of th e day "Girl of My Dreams,"
and "All for You." Mr. Warman has easily
sung his way and is now being flooded with
vaudeville offers. "
A few days later a stoker was discovered
who was supposed to have been from England and was working his way back home.
He is a cast-off vaudeville singer who gives
his name as Mr. Armand Keller. His voice
will not p ermit him to stoke coal, and to
prove it to you, "listeners in " we will have
him sing two popular ballads. The first is a
theme song taken from that popular "talki e,"
"Dancing Daughters," and entitl ed, "I Loved
You Now as I Loved You Then " and the
other is called "Doin ' the Raccoon." Mr.
K eller for his second number has don n ed a
raccoon coat, derby hat, and is bearing a
cane. Quite the thing on the American
campus, old deah !"
Nothing of importance was heard from the
student shi p for a few days when suddenly
while listening to the Ymca orchestra which
was playing dance music, two loud reports
were heard through the speaker in our homes.
The ever resouceful Gutter was on the air.
"The ship has been torpedoed!" Everyone
will retire to their staterooms until repairs
have been made by the crew. Don't worry
th er e is no dang er aboard shi p, whatever.
By the way. I forgot to mention about the
crew. I've made many trips across the ocean
but I don't believe I ever saw such a resourceful crew. This crew is made up of Captain
Ruch ; Bob Dew and Jack Taylor, First and
Second mates; "Chubb" Poole, steward and
Eddie Jenkins, cabin boy. The crew can not
only man a ship which is shown by the way
they have handled this social situation , but
they can also do artistic work which has
shown up on the deck. They are certainly
to be commended for the success of the whole
cruise. "
The cruise was by this time on its return
trip and Mr. Gutter left us listen in on an
airplane which was passing over the ship.
The plane could not be seen because of the
dense fog. A message was sent to the ship
and they replied that it was De Mosquito ,
the noted Italian aviator , who was flying to
Dunedon , New Zealand to join the Byrd expedition to the South pole.
That was the last notable thing that happened on the return trip. The collegians as
usual had lost the thrill and were already
making plans for something else. Something
else is coming. In the course of a few months
the Y. M. C. A. of the college will run another novelty dance which will be different
and if no t b ett er t han "The Crui se" it will
be j ust as good.
"This is station Y. M. C. A. broadca sting
from the S. S. Ymca , now in New York Harbor. The situation seems reversed from
when we left here. On the wharf now there
are happ y reunions of lovers and par ents ,
and unha ppy reunions of husbands and wives.
Mr. Saul Gutter now announces that thi s is

SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA HOLD 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 for the entire two hours of performance , for it certainly was more quiet than it
generally is.
The following is the program: Glinke-Overature , "Russian and Ludmilla. " Beethoven-Symphony No. 5, opus 57, (a) Allegro,
con brio; (b) Andante con moto; (c) Allegro
(Scherzo); (d) AUegro Maestoso , Prestro;
Liszt-Hungarian Fantaste for Piano and Orchestra; Rimsky-Korsakoff , Dance of the
Clowns, from 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 uplift one
from the dull monotony of life to the beautiful realm of pure and wholesome enjoy ment
and pleasure.

Fres hman Circus

The Sazaphone Band led by Mary Lindemu th and Marg e Cona h an led the par ade
from the auditorium to the gym. Its soothing refrain could be heard throughout the entire building. By the time and harmony it
kept you would have thought it 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 unique feature proved to be very entertaining. This act was carried out by Eleanor
Dwyer and Katie Astleford.
Sarah Donahue gave her best interpetation
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 beautiful
musical number entitled "Laugh Clown,
Laugh ".
Animals , animal s, animals , that 's what we
called them , because I' m sure no one could

Dr. Kehr Speaks on Trip to Europe
Sees Edinburgh Graduate

Triangular

On Wednesday, October 24, our chapel program was presented by Dr. Kehr, who spoke
on her trip to Europe this summer.
She said it was very difficult to find a subject that would not be too broad for chapel
time; so she finally had chosen one featur e
from each country. The first was from Edinburgh, Scotland. At this place, she saw the
graduation exercises of the University of
Edinburgh. They were different in many
ways from an American commencement, especially in that they were a time of rejoicing
and fun , instead of a solemn and di gni fied
performance.
At London, Engl and , she went to see Parliament. From her description , one could almost picture the House of Lords and the
House of Commons. Dr. Kehr was very fortunate in being able to witness a meeting of
the House of Commons, through knowing a
member ot that body. However, one very
amu sing incident , in her eyes, at least , occured. At four o'clock t he meeting adjourned
in order to have tea. England certainly likes
her tea.
In Paris, France, Dr. Kehr, said is the
great cathedral of Notre Dame. She described the impressions she got on first seein g it,
and they certainly seemed real to us. From
one of the towers of Notre Dame, a very good
view of part of the city can be seen such as;
the square, the Arc de Trioimphe, the Pantheon, the Church of the Sacred Heart and
the parks and gardens of the Champs Elysees.
To Switzerland we were next taken. The
place described to us was Interlaken , one of
the beauty spots of Switzerland. Beginning
here, a railroad runs through a mountain to
Italy, the greatest underground railroad in
the world. Dr. Kehr also spoke of climbing
a mountain , and her experiences and feelings.
It was made very realistic.
The exercises were thoroughly enjoy ed by
all, for they made everyone feel as though he
had taken the trip.
Morgan: Did you hear the new "Charlie
Horse" song?
Yock: Nope , how goes it?
Morgan; Ki nk for a day.
Senior: I don 't like the pictures. They
don 't do me justice.
Mr. Phil lips : Justice? Lady, what you want
is mercy.

The Y. M. G. A. had charg e of the chapel
period on February 18, and presented as its
speaker . Rev. Owen Jones, of Scranton.
His talk concerned "prayer. " He stressed
the fact that everyone is born with a natural
tendency to pray, and that , in time of distress everyone prays, for in prayer people
find a calming, peacefu l rest. Throughout
his entire, discourse , he gave examples of
people who had scoffed at prayer and then
had found a quiet rest in it, and also of people who were great leaders and who believed
fervently in prayer.

The Pajaraa Parade-Great Night for "Frosh"

Extract from a Freshman 's Diary, September 12, 1928

"Had Freshman initiation tonight and also
"some time. " We held a pajam a parade
and took a "ducking. " Wow! How nice.
But it all happen s in a life-time.
On that memorable evening, about forty
green Freshmen were assembled in the lobby
of North Hall. They were bellowing an
appropriate ballad , written for the occasion
and entitled "How Green I Am. " 'Shorty '
Edmunds directed the singing and with the
exception of several interruptions from 'Frosh'
Stier and 'Frosh' Taylor , it was fairly well
done , (if we also exclude the voices of the
fr osh.)
A certain 'Frosh Fetter had a sudden
craving to see a girl friend at Waller Hall
and Chief Marshal Kraynack , led his "pajama 'd ones down to the court at long porch ,
beneath the windows of the girls dormitory
like so many "Romeos. " But alas! the Juliets gave the would-be Valentinos ' a cool reception in the form of a deluge of water ,
(had it only been flower pots.)
Chief Marshal Kraynack , who , because of
his well chosen armor , came unscratche d
through the deluge , then led his troupe of
actors to the center of the ceremonial grounds
and the program was opened by "Frosh"
Stier and "Frosh" McFadden praying to
Allah. They thanked Allah for the blessing
they had just received from the heavens and
prayed for more. They got it.

The Pajama Parade-Great Night for "Frosh"
continued from ^ page 5

"Frosh" Johns was a tower of strength in
wrestling with temptation. With a battle-cry
of "Get thee behind me , Satan ," he waded
into his imaginary opp onent and finall y vanquished the monster. "Frosh "Roberts showed his exception at- athletic ability when he
broke a world' s record , w h i l e h e ju m ped at
conclusion s. "Frosh" Robbins tore up some
turf while digging for an idea , w hich escaped
him.
Some ot h er f eatures o f t h e eve n i ng we r e
"Frosh" Warman , tellin g the girls his whole
life 's history by serena ding them with "Halleluj ah! I'm a Bum. " "Frosh " Jenkins gave
a few lessons in soap bubble blowing to the
tune o f "I ' m Forever Blowin g Bubbles. "
"Frosh" Litwhiler almost ended his own life
very suddenly when he attempted to play
"Taps" on his trumpet before the ceremonies were over. "Frosh" Fetter showed how
unru ly one freshman could be , when he immediate ly asked for a certain girl. For
freshmen to even think of girls is the most
horrible of violations , but he rendered "The
Evening Call" {not a newspaper but a song)
wit h a trumpet and he was forgiven. The
ceremonies en ded with a grand rush or stampede upon each other , (as freshmen always
d o), and prayed for rain. Again they were
obli ged after some great portion of a cistern
had fallen upon them. Chief Marshal Kraynack then led his willing actors to North
Hall and ended a never forgetful night , in
bed.

War Futile, Topic of Rev. Heistand's Speech
Mr. Bula Talks on Experience in France

On Friday , November 9, Armistice Day

was observed in chapel. The first speaker
was Mr. Bula of the 28th division. He told
of his experiences in the war , such as: the trip
over , experiences 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 u s 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 ".

Dr. Haas on Education
There are two phases that are always used
in education. "Equalization of educational
oppo rtunity " and "Equity of the individual
in t h e educational p r ocess ''. There is no explanation needed or required of the word
"Equity " as it is used in education.
Dr. Haas said that stepping up to an educational process is very simple. He stated
his theory in three proposition s. He also
said that we should develop the school system to such an extent that we could make it
possible for a child of the mountains to have
the same rights to an education as a child in
the city. Dr. Haas brought in the fact also ,that
city and rural districts are co-dependent.
We should think ot education from two
standpoints or aspects;
1—A horizontal aspect.
2—-A vertical aspect.
Dr. Haas talk was well received in chapel
as he cast much light on educational theories.
