Interest ing.
Before formally opening his ad-
dress, Dr. James N. Rule paid tribute
to the Superintenden t of Public Instruction , Dr . Keith, who was unable
to be present at the dedicatory program. Dr. Rule rapid'y sket ched the
history of the Teachers Colleges of
Pennsylvania, pointing out three
majo r trends in the later development of these colleges; first, teaching
is no longer the last resort and refuge of failures in other lines of
work; second, the preparation of
teachers is a State function to be delegated only to its own institu tions;
t hird , the Teachers Colleges are the
growing point of our State system of
public schools and must be developed
to meet effectively the development
of our public schools.
In discussing the future of the
Teachers Colleges, Dr. Rule pointed

The campus buildings and the business section of Sloomsburg were in
gala dress Saturday in observance of
the annual Home Coming Day.
The Maroon and Gold of Bloomsburg and the Red and Blue of the visiting athletic rivals, Shippensburg,

There are too many gloomy faces
in B. S. T. C. Too many students
look at life through dark glasses and
try to make others do the same.
When our marks are given out at the
end of a six week p eriod , we no t ice
many a student with a frown on his
or her face. We can-all help to make
others happy by being, or seeming to
be , happy ourselves. We only make
our troubles worse by thinking how
bad they are. The troubles won 't
last long; courage and determination
will soon end them.
After graduation, when we en t er
upon our teaching career, our most
valuable asset will be cheerfulness.
Many teachers have made a decided
success of their work , simply becau se
studen ts like to see a happy face, and
are glad that they are being taught
by an individual who faces life pluckily and cheerfully , with a smile.
The gloomy student looks like the
losing one. He is a loser ! The moment you begin to look "down on your
luck" the world changes its estimate
of you—you are considered a failure
by your own confession ! Be a "gloom
chaser." Smile !

THIS THING CALLED SPIRIT
Accordin g to a number of student
highlights , spiri t on the campus is
waning. If cheering is all of college
spiri t they are probably right , but
when a football team works all night
to build a bonfire ; when North Hall
nigh t-hawks stay up all night to decorate the town for Home Coming
Day ; and when our fair co-eds do as
much as they did to make Home Coming Day a success it is difficult to
discover where college sph'it is lacking.
Many institutions set up spirit defi n i t ions in the form of a code which
gives them something definite to work
with. These codes are all the finer
compilations of campus tradition in
each respective institution. Tho articles in this code ai*o inj ected deeply into the members of the Freshman
class just as soon as they set their
w illf u l , high schoolish feet on the
campus.
The duties of these early injections
fall upon the shoulders of the cheer
leaders who organize the Freshman
Class into a cheering body at tho first
opportunity and teach them the
cheers and songs of the college. They
are supporte d by tho upper classmen
who make it their duty to have tho
Freshmen at the cheering practice.
As for the cheering hero , (which
seems to bo the biggest leak in college spirit), we only havo ourselves

"The Copperhead ," a four act play,
tells of an old man , living most of the
time alone , and who for the last forty years of his life had been a social

because he was supposed to have
sympathized with the South during
t he Civil War , whereas his neighbors
in this Northern district were fighting for the Federal Union.

to blame. Up until the last few weeks
we had no cheer leaders; no one was
interested and no one thought about
it.
As for tho rest of the college spirit ,
there should bo no complaint from
anyone. It springs forth in the form
of co-operation on every sido and in
every activity. Thoroforo wo cannot entirely ngrc c with tho speeches
made in chapel , oxcopt tho one Friday night from which tho rost woro
copied.
Excellent weather and a fine sense
of cooperation on the part of faculty
and students made Home Coming
Day a memorable occasion. That ?s
the one day in all the year when we
try our best to furnish alumni, paren t s, and friends a chance t o look us i
over. That is the day when we want
to pu t our best foct forward. And
so for weeks we had been preparing
for it.
Crepe paper twisted and pulled to
represent various geometric figures
adorned Waller Hall , Carver Hall,
North Hall and the athletic field.
Freshmen boys led by Al-ex Shepela
worked diligently to paint the town
of Bloomsburg with B. S. T. C. and
S. S. T. C. colors. The gym decorations were exceptionally artistic, being made to represent a red and blue,
maroon and gold foo tball field. Even
the stalwart football heroes were
there to reflect our victory.
Throughout the morning there was
the general buzz of greeting. Old
and new face s blended to make a
compact mob in the first floor lobby.
The Alumni Trophy Room , a new accomplishment, received many visitors
who expressed their wonder and deligh t at the glorifie d room N. It was
noted that many alumni from the
Class of '29 were here.
In the forenoon was dedicate d the
new Training School. Dr. Keith was
unable to speak, and his posi tion was
ably filled by Dr. Rule.
Lunch time found many guests outside the dining room doors. Doors
were open from 11:30 to 1:30, making possible efficie nt service . Some
of our alu m ni , Raymond Hodges,
Marj ory Orr , Robert Dew , Earl Farley and Al Kalwei t assisted during
rush hours. Bob had the united job
of policeman , traffic officer , u sher and
bus-boy.
At 2:00 o clock in the afternoon
Mt. Olympu s becam-e alive with the
crowd. Flying banners, waving ribbons and the vari-colored attire made
the bleachers a picture for the moving picture camera. Needless to say
our boys played a peppy ga me. Furt hermore , they had the support of the
student body. Final score was 13-0
in our favor.
After the game guests attended
the tea in the gym. We hesitate to
call it the gym because of the transformation.
And then a bigger mob besieged
the doors at dinner. As at lunch
time the new system worked effiWhite coats and white
ciently.
smocks rushed from kitchen to table
to satisfy the mob.
The evening was crowded with
events. Dancing to the music made
by the Maroon and Gold Orchestra
used every available inch in the gym.
Sidelines were as ja mmed as the floor
space. At 11 :.')0 the dance ended
when many alumni retired to Waller
nnd North Hulls where they spent
the night.
Wo would liko to name every individual who helped to mako Homo
Coming Day a success ! Our best advice would be to look over the names
of nil students nnd faculty mombors
in the Business Ofllco.
Dr. Haas said that in searching for
a name for the new Training School
building, sugge stions had been asked
for from the faculty and other sources. He said an attempt was made to
selec t a nam e, keeping in mind primarily the children. They had desired a name not only identified with
childhood bu t one tha t would strike
^
the imagination
in every field of
learning. The name of Franklin ,
most generally suggested, was a
name of tha t kind , as Franklin has
contributed so much to so many
phases of human endeavor. Dr. Haas
called attention to the inscription
over one of the doors of the n ew
building which is taken from Franklin 's writings, "Education is the foundation of happiness."
ONE OF THE STUDENT
COMMITTEES GETS BUSY
The Dining Room Committee which
is organized under the Student Goun^
cil has been doing many interesting
things this year. Their program was
opened with the introduction of a
new system of seating in the dining
room. The responses from every
side have been favorable and the new
system is to be commended.
A series of parties has also been
planned. The first two of them have
been great successes and the only remarks heard were "When's the ne x t
one?" The next one will most likely
be November 21—but more will be
heard abou t tha t la ter .
The committee is also responsible
for dining room decorations and did
a fine piece of work for Home Coming Day.

short time until four years of college
training will be required by all who
teach in the State. He also pointed
ou t that a surplus of teachers is not
to be Viewed with alarm but rather
as a healthful sign of the eliminating
of the unfit.
There are three major factors involved in a good Teachers College,
Dr. Rule said :
1. A professional program to
keep the college in touch with current theory and program.
2. A competent staff of teachers.
3. A good physical plant and
equipment.
Dr. Rule concluded his address as
follows:
"In the dedication of this new unit
in this college to be known as the
Bonjamin Franklin Training School,
the State recognizes its obligations to
make this and all the other State
Teachers Colleges increasingly more
useful and efficient in their service to
the public schools of tho Commonwealth. Under the leadership of so
distinguished and able an educator as
your president , tho future of your
college is assured. Under such leadership this college will inevitabl y rise
to higher and largor levels of achievement. "

Last Monday members of our College communi ty furnished the Assembly program for Berwick High School.
Dr . Haas addressed the school , opening the Education Week program.

The birth of Virg il , 2000 years ago, is to be observed at Lehigh.
The "Brown and White " says regarding the celebration— "The greatness of Virg il will gain full recognition at the celebration of the bimillennial anniversary of the birth of the Latin poet, on the afternoon and evening of November 11, in Packard auditorium. The
classical League of the Lehigh Valley will sponsor the program which
is dedicate d to the memory of a man whose works are read in almost
every civilized nation two thousands years after his birth."
We want to put Bloomsburg State
Teachers College on the map and
we 're going to do it. We had a real
Student Government meeting Monday. School Spirit was the thing that
was up for discussion and criticism.
Henry Warman opened the discussion by telling us that school spirit
lasted all the year, no t j ust at football games. Good for Hank. He 's
riding the football taam hard this
year bu t he is not so lop-sided that
he can 't see anything else. Mr. Zimolzak voiced his opinion that we
could no t have school spirit until we
all go t in on it and realized what it
was all abou t. School spirit can 't be
pu t on the outside by a loader ; it
mus t be felt.
Ivor R obbi n s, edi tor of "Maroon
and Goi'd," told us that other schools
were having the same trouble—lack
of school spirit.
Maybe Grace Callender doesn 't
lik e knocking, but she surely can
knock the "kno ckers. " She poi nted
out the fact that we are not patriotic
t o ou r school w he n w e only k n ock
and don 't try to help, and our patriotism in the world will be determined
by our patriotism hero. You 'd better quit knocking when she 's around
for you may get more than you bargained for.
Nick Jaffin—he needs no introduction or title—toT.d us how much it
helped them when the school was
back of them—how they felt it even
when they could not hoar it.
If the school backing was what
made them play like they did on Saturday the school had bettor be there

The meeting closed with cheers led
by Jack Eblo and the singing; of the

FRESHMEN EARLY BIRDS
The Town Decora t ion Commi tt ee,
composed of the Freshmen boarding
students and headed by Alex Shapela,
func tioned very efficiently.
The
"Frosh" were aw aken ed from their
slumbers by "Joe " Yacobonis abou t
4:30 A . M. Saturday and in fifteen
minu tes all were in the lobby ready
to begin opera tions.
The committee was divided into
three parts. Morris DeHaven, John
Carr and Joseph Gribbin headed the
groups.
At the command of Mr. Shapela
the Freshmen advanced to the town
where they began working diligently,
and by seven o 'clock most of the main
street was decorated. Af ter breakfast they returned to their places
and finished their work. This is evidence that the Freshmen went wholeheartedly into making Home Coming
Day a great success.
The decorations were taken down
by the Freshmen Saturday evening.
"The Keystone " reports outdoor sports in the evening for Kutz town College students. "This privilege has been possible through
the helpfulness of the Leaders Clubs and the Supervision of Miss
Stern. Such games as deck tennis, quoits, croquet , obstacl e golf ,
faba gaba and archery were introduced. This plan has been followed in the belief that this outdoor sport is more beneficial to the students from the standpoint of health and wholesome social contacts
than the use of the gymnasium every evening as has been the custom
and which will have to be done later on. "

The Alumni Memorial and Trophy
Room was another place that secured
much attention and favorable comment. This room was beautifully
furnished by alumni at a cost of
$4 ,000. It is located on the first floor
of Waller Hall and is an achievement
in which graduates of the school can
be j ustly proud.
It is doub tful if a Home-Coming
Day ever attracted a larger crowd
and certainly there was never a better progra m offered. Students and
f aculty worked tirelessly to entertain
the guests and they were very successful.
Social events on the program were
an informal get-together in the gymnasium following the game and a
dance in the evening. The gymnasium was bea ut if u lly decor at ed for
the day in Ma roo n an d Gold an d Red
and Blue. The railing around the orchestra pit was a scene of players '
b enche s, some of the players in the
Maroon and Gold of Bloomsburg and
others in the Red and Blue of Shippensburg, with the scores also announced.
Crepe paper festooning and red,
gold and blue balloons added to the
attractiveness of the decorative
scheme. The Maroon and Gold orchestra played for the dance and they
were at their best. Punch was served.
Day students and members of the
faculty, Shippensburg athletes and
faculty members and hundreds of
alumni enjoye d both lunch and dinner at the school.

Before formally opening his ad-

to the Superintenden t of Public Instruction , Dr . Keith, who was unable
to be present at the dedicatory program. Dr. Rule rapid'y sket ched the
history of the Teachers Colleges of

is no longer the last resort and refuge of failures in other lines of
work; second, the preparation of
teachers is a State function to be delegated only to its own institu tions;

There are too many gloomy faces
in B. S. T. C. Too many students
look at life through dark glasses and
try to make others do the same.
When our marks are given out at the
end of a six week p eriod , we no t ice
many a student with a frown on his
or her face. We can-all help to make
others happy by being, or seeming to
be , happy ourselves. We only make
our troubles worse by thinking how
bad they are. The troubles won 't
last long; courage and determination
will soon end them.
After graduation, when we en t er
upon our teaching career, our most
valuable asset will be cheerfulness.
Many teachers have made a decided
success of their work , simply becau se
studen ts like to see a happy face, and
are glad that they are being taught
by an individual who faces life pluckily and cheerfully , with a smile.
The gloomy student looks like the
losing one. He is a loser ! The moment you begin to look "down on your
luck" the world changes its estimate
of you—you are considered a failure
by your own confession ! Be a "gloom
chaser." Smile !

THIS THING CALLED SPIRIT
Accordin g to a number of student
highlights , spiri t on the campus is
waning. If cheering is all of college
spiri t they are probably right , but
when a football team works all night
to build a bonfire ; when North Hall
nigh t-hawks stay up all night to decorate the town for Home Coming
Day ; and when our fair co-eds do as
much as they did to make Home Coming Day a success it is difficult to
discover where college sph'it is lacking.
Many institutions set up spirit defi n i t ions in the form of a code which
gives them something definite to work
with. These codes are all the finer
compilations of campus tradition in
each respective institution. Tho articles in this code ai*o inj ected deeply into the members of the Freshman
class just as soon as they set their
w illf u l , high schoolish feet on the
campus.
The duties of these early injections
fall upon the shoulders of the cheer
leaders who organize the Freshman
Class into a cheering body at tho first
opportunity and teach them the
cheers and songs of the college. They
are supporte d by tho upper classmen
who make it their duty to have tho
Freshmen at the cheering practice.
As for the cheering hero , (which
seems to bo the biggest leak in college spirit), we only havo ourselves

to blame. Up until the last few weeks
we had no cheer leaders; no one was
interested and no one thought about
it.
As for tho rest of the college spirit ,
there should bo no complaint from
anyone. It springs forth in the form
of co-operation on every sido and in
every activity. Thoroforo wo cannot entirely ngrc c with tho speeches
made in chapel , oxcopt tho one Friday night from which tho rost woro
copied.
Excellent weather and a fine sense
of cooperation on the part of faculty
and students made Home Coming
Day a memorable occasion. That ?s
the one day in all the year when we
try our best to furnish alumni, paren t s, and friends a chance t o look us i
over. That is the day when we want
to pu t our best foct forward. And
so for weeks we had been preparing
for it.
Crepe paper twisted and pulled to
represent various geometric figures
adorned Waller Hall , Carver Hall,
North Hall and the athletic field.
Freshmen boys led by Al-ex Shepela
worked diligently to paint the town
of Bloomsburg with B. S. T. C. and
S. S. T. C. colors. The gym decorations were exceptionally artistic, being made to represent a red and blue,
maroon and gold foo tball field. Even
the stalwart football heroes were
there to reflect our victory.
Throughout the morning there was
the general buzz of greeting. Old
and new face s blended to make a
compact mob in the first floor lobby.
The Alumni Trophy Room , a new accomplishment, received many visitors
who expressed their wonder and deligh t at the glorifie d room N. It was
noted that many alumni from the
Class of '29 were here.
In the forenoon was dedicate d the
new Training School. Dr. Keith was
unable to speak, and his posi tion was
ably filled by Dr. Rule.
Lunch time found many guests outside the dining room doors. Doors
were open from 11:30 to 1:30, making possible efficie nt service . Some
of our alu m ni , Raymond Hodges,
Marj ory Orr , Robert Dew , Earl Farley and Al Kalwei t assisted during
rush hours. Bob had the united job
of policeman , traffic officer , u sher and
bus-boy.
At 2:00 o clock in the afternoon
Mt. Olympu s becam-e alive with the
crowd. Flying banners, waving ribbons and the vari-colored attire made
the bleachers a picture for the moving picture camera. Needless to say
our boys played a peppy ga me. Furt hermore , they had the support of the
student body. Final score was 13-0
in our favor.
After the game guests attended
the tea in the gym. We hesitate to
call it the gym because of the transformation.
And then a bigger mob besieged
the doors at dinner. As at lunch
time the new system worked effiWhite coats and white
ciently.
smocks rushed from kitchen to table
to satisfy the mob.
The evening was crowded with
events. Dancing to the music made
by the Maroon and Gold Orchestra
used every available inch in the gym.
Sidelines were as ja mmed as the floor
space. At 11 :.')0 the dance ended
when many alumni retired to Waller
nnd North Hulls where they spent
the night.
Wo would liko to name every individual who helped to mako Homo
Coming Day a success ! Our best advice would be to look over the names
of nil students nnd faculty mombors
in the Business Ofllco.
Dr. Haas said that in searching for
a name for the new Training School
building, sugge stions had been asked
for from the faculty and other sources. He said an attempt was made to
selec t a nam e, keeping in mind primarily the children. They had desired a name not only identified with
childhood bu t one tha t would strike
^
the imagination
in every field of
learning. The name of Franklin ,
most generally suggested, was a
name of tha t kind , as Franklin has
contributed so much to so many
phases of human endeavor. Dr. Haas
called attention to the inscription
over one of the doors of the n ew
building which is taken from Franklin 's writings, "Education is the foundation of happiness."
ONE OF THE STUDENT
COMMITTEES GETS BUSY
The Dining Room Committee which
is organized under the Student Goun^
cil has been doing many interesting
things this year. Their program was
opened with the introduction of a
new system of seating in the dining
room. The responses from every
side have been favorable and the new
system is to be commended.
A series of parties has also been
planned. The first two of them have
been great successes and the only remarks heard were "When's the ne x t
one?" The next one will most likely
be November 21—but more will be
heard abou t tha t la ter .
The committee is also responsible
for dining room decorations and did
a fine piece of work for Home Coming Day.

short time until four years of college
training will be required by all who
teach in the State. He also pointed
ou t that a surplus of teachers is not
to be Viewed with alarm but rather
as a healthful sign of the eliminating
of the unfit.
There are three major factors involved in a good Teachers College,
Dr. Rule said :
1. A professional program to
keep the college in touch with current theory and program.
2. A competent staff of teachers.
3. A good physical plant and
equipment.
Dr. Rule concluded his address as
follows:

Last Monday members of our College communi ty furnished the Assembly program for Berwick High School.
Dr . Haas addressed the school , opening the Education Week program.

The birth of Virg il , 2000 years ago, is to be observed at Lehigh.
The "Brown and White " says regarding the celebration— "The greatness of Virg il will gain full recognition at the celebration of the bimillennial anniversary of the birth of the Latin poet, on the afternoon and evening of November 11, in Packard auditorium. The
classical League of the Lehigh Valley will sponsor the program which
is dedicate d to the memory of a man whose works are read in almost
every civilized nation two thousands years after his birth."
We want to put Bloomsburg State

we 're going to do it. We had a real
Student Government meeting Monday. School Spirit was the thing that
was up for discussion and criticism.
Henry Warman opened the discussion by telling us that school spirit
lasted all the year, no t j ust at football games. Good for Hank. He 's
riding the football taam hard this
year bu t he is not so lop-sided that
he can 't see anything else. Mr. Zimolzak voiced his opinion that we
could no t have school spirit until we
all go t in on it and realized what it
was all abou t. School spirit can 't be
pu t on the outside by a loader ; it
mus t be felt.
Ivor R obbi n s, edi tor of "Maroon
and Goi'd," told us that other schools
were having the same trouble—lack
of school spirit.
Maybe Grace Callender doesn 't

for you may get more than you bargained for.

FRESHMEN EARLY BIRDS
The Town Decora t ion Commi tt ee,
composed of the Freshmen boarding
students and headed by Alex Shapela,
func tioned very efficiently.
The
"Frosh" were aw aken ed from their
slumbers by "Joe " Yacobonis abou t
4:30 A . M. Saturday and in fifteen
minu tes all were in the lobby ready
to begin opera tions.
The committee was divided into
three parts. Morris DeHaven, John
Carr and Joseph Gribbin headed the
groups.
At the command of Mr. Shapela
the Freshmen advanced to the town
where they began working diligently,
and by seven o 'clock most of the main
street was decorated. Af ter breakfast they returned to their places
and finished their work. This is evidence that the Freshmen went wholeheartedly into making Home Coming
Day a great success.
The decorations were taken down
by the Freshmen Saturday evening.
"The Keystone " reports outdoor sports in the evening for Kutz town College students. "This privilege has been possible through
the helpfulness of the Leaders Clubs and the Supervision of Miss
Stern. Such games as deck tennis, quoits, croquet , obstacl e golf ,
faba gaba and archery were introduced. This plan has been followed in the belief that this outdoor sport is more beneficial to the students from the standpoint of health and wholesome social contacts
than the use of the gymnasium every evening as has been the custom
and which will have to be done later on. "

The Alumni Memorial and Trophy
Room was another place that secured
much attention and favorable comment. This room was beautifully
furnished by alumni at a cost of
$4 ,000. It is located on the first floor
of Waller Hall and is an achievement
in which graduates of the school can
be j ustly proud.
It is doub tful if a Home-Coming
Day ever attracted a larger crowd
and certainly there was never a better progra m offered. Students and
f aculty worked tirelessly to entertain
the guests and they were very successful.
Social events on the program were
an informal get-together in the gymnasium following the game and a
dance in the evening. The gymnasium was bea ut if u lly decor at ed for
the day in Ma roo n an d Gold an d Red
and Blue. The railing around the orchestra pit was a scene of players '
b enche s, some of the players in the
Maroon and Gold of Bloomsburg and
others in the Red and Blue of Shippensburg, with the scores also announced.
Crepe paper festooning and red,
gold and blue balloons added to the
attractiveness of the decorative
scheme. The Maroon and Gold orchestra played for the dance and they
were at their best. Punch was served.
Day students and members of the
faculty, Shippensburg athletes and
faculty members and hundreds of
alumni enjoye d both lunch and dinner at the school.
