The Men 's Glee Club further established its fine reputation when it
gave a concert at the Methodist
Church, Bloomsburg, last Tuesday
evening, January 20 , as a part of a
program conducted by the Men's Society of that church.
The entertainment by the College
Glee Club came at the close of the
regular business meeting ' of the
church organization. The Maroon
and Gold Orchestra , the Glee Club
the
Double Quartet, the College Trio ,
.
and others featured in the program.
The concert opened with several
lively fox-trots from the Maroon and
Gold Orchestra. The entire Glee Club
took up the program with several
pleasing songs. Following this, Henry Warman , popular soloist at the
College, sa ng one of his pleasing numbers.
The double quar tet, also under t he
direction of Miss Moore and composed of memb ers of t he Glee Club , supplied the next part of the program.
Mr. Wolever , Mr. Brown , Mr. Kurtz,
Mr. Letterman , Mr. Dyer , Mr. Kingsbury, Mr. Hower, and Mr. Beagle
were the particular singers in this
group.
As a variation in the entertainment

The Junior Chamber of Commerce,
the organization of the students in
the Department of Commerce, is
planning to hold a Commercial Contest for high school students on May
16, 1931 , in order to make known the
type of professional work being developed in the college, in the special
curriculum for training commercial
teachers. Bookkeep ing, Shorthand ,
Typewriting, Business Arithme tic,
Business Writing, and Business Law
will be the subjects used for the contest.
The college will furnish living accommodations for the contestants
while they are in Bloomsburg. An effort will be made to see that all high
school contes t ants are t rea ted wit h
courtesy , and tha t t he contest s are so
held as to insure fair play to everyone.
Gold , silver and bron z e medals w ill
be given by the Junior Chamber of
Commerce as prizes to the successful
contes tants. The high school bringing the best team of students will receive a silver loving cup.
The visitors may register and contestants may be admitted to the college at 8:30 A. M., May 16. Contests
will begin at 9:00 A.( M. and will cont inue each ho u r thereaf ter unt il all
contestants have participated. Each
contest will last only fifty minutes.
The contest material will be objective
in nature in so far as it is consistent
with modern testing practices.
Each high school may enter two
students in each event. The principal of the high school from which
each contestant comes shall certify
to his eligibility to participate in a
contest as the representative of his
high school.
A Commercial Contest Cup will be
awarded to the high school having the
best team of contestants. A team of
contestants will consist of five contestants from any high school which
has participated in at least three of
the six contest events. Any high
school winning the Commercial Contest Cup three times will be entitled
to retain the cup permanently .
T-ho entire college is interested in
the success of the contest and it is
quite likely that it will be one of the
most important events of the college
year.
Coach Booth 's powerful basketball
quinte t scored a commendable victory
over the highly-touted Kutztown
State Teachers College team on Saturday af ternoon in the college gymnasium and continued its march toward the 1931 State Teachers College
basketball championship. The final
score was 58 to 34.
Beginning with a bang, t he Maroon
and Gold held a 33 to 16 lead at half
time, due to a great scoring spree.
Ku tztown fough t valiantly to overcome this lead, but Bloomsburg was
never headed off , Bloomsburg scoring
25 points to 18 points for Kutztown
in the second half.
Captain "Gord" Wanbaugh led the
offensive for the Booth-men with 22
points, closely followed by "Joe "
Yock , star forward , who had 19
poin ts. Throughout the whole game
the team-play of the Maroon and
Gold was evidently the decisive factor in the winning of the contest.
"Tarn " Kirker gave a good exhibition
of pass-work, and Golder and Shep¦ela , the dependable guards of Bloomsburg, many a time broke up a scoring
threat of Kutztown by batting the
ball ou t of the opponent' s hands in t o
the bleachers. Foul shooting is the
only dep artment of basketball in
which our boys seem to be weak. In
a close game accurate foul shooting
goes a long way toward winning the
con test.
Moyer and Swoyer, of Kutztown ,
were the leading scorers for the opponents , getting their points by hardearned baskets.
There was great enthusiasm among
the Bloomsburg fans, and the "oldtime " pop was evident.
The college Junior Varsity easily
defeated the Kutztown Jay-Vees by
the score 39-27. Rudowslri. F. Jaflin.
and Yaretski starre d on the offense
for Bloomsburg. This is the fifth
straight victory for tho undefeated
Junior Varsity.
At 4:00 o 'clock today our boys will
do battle with the Lock Haven S. T.
C. A big crowd is expected to attend
this game because it is an important
one and the Booth-men wish to
avonge the reverse handed to us in
football.
On Saturday evening Mansfield will
be hero. The team is said to bo a
fast aggregation.

"Visua l Education ," Was the Theme
of Interesting Lecture.
Dr. C. F. Hoban , director of the department of visual education of the
State Department of Public Instruc- '
tion , and a former resident of Dunmor-e, addressed the students and
faculty at the regular chapel period
on "Wednesday, January 21, 1931.
Dr. Hoban gave a brief discussion
of European education. He outlined
the teacher situation in Pennsylvania.
In England wide use is made of
museums ' in all classes, especially
among the younger groups. Much of
the education in England makes a
visual appeal.
Af ter presenting an interesting descrip tion of European education , Dr.
Hoban gave a few remarks concerning the teachers in America.

PROFESSIONAL
r\
o
In no other profession do personal
qualities so quickly translate themselves into professional qualifications
as in teaching. The nature of teachers ' woi'k decrees the vocational significance of their ma nners in personali ty and character.
From t i m e to time w e have seen
teachers or prospective teachers who
fail to act in a true professional manner.
By way of illustration it may bo
said that the use of uncouth language
is a liberty and apparently an enjoy able privilege of persons in many occup ations; vocationall y, it makes no
differe nce how they talk, Low taste
and cruclenoss with them have only
per sonal and not professional significance. With the teacher , ho w e v er ,
there is and can be no such freedom.
The boys of North Hall should realize
the fact that they cannot break themselves of this habit in a day.
It makes considerable difi'erence
how a teacher talks, whether or how
much he swears, and what his manners are like. Ho is dealing with
human material which is easily influenced by all of those personalprofessional qualities.
DEBATING TEAM SELECTED
The results of the recent try-outs
for the debating team are at follows :
Thelma Knauss , Ka therine Smi th ,
Alfred Vandling, Carl Riggs, on the
Afl'rmative Team ; Grace Callendex*,
Lois DeMott , Pa ul Baker on the Negative Team.
The deba te manager, Carl Riggs, is
arranging for debates with at least
five State Teachers Colleges. Each
of these will be a dual debate , and
will be held in March or April. We
are t o hav e deba t es wi th Clarion ,
Slipp ery Rock and Mansfield. Arrangements for the others have not
as ye t been completed.
Miss Johnson and Mr. Reams, the
able coaches , have pro duced winning
teams in former years. The teams
this year look very promising and excellent results are predicte d for them.
MID-YEAR DANCE
The annual mid-year dance held on
Saturday proved to be a great success. Banners of colleges and cities
fro m "Coast to Coast" hung around
the gy mnasium. Cretonne pillows,
which were very much enjoyed by the
onlookers , decora ted the bleachers.
The floor was crowded during the
en tire evening, for everyone who
danced was enjoying the Maroon and
Cold Orches tra. The tag dance furnished amusement for many couples.
During the evening, "Bob" Parker

FEMININE TOSSERS
MAKE GOOD SHOWI NG
Senior girls got off to a flying start
Friday af ternoon, January 23, and
maybe some surprise s weren 't* in
store.
The first two teams to play werc
No. 3 and No. 1. No. 3 had it all
over No. 1 from the start and the final score was 14-0. Beale and Rabb
are some guards. They surely know
how to get tha t ball and put it where
it belongs. Hopkins and Noble were
their star forwards and Noble had 12
of the total 14 poin ts to her credit.
The second game was equally interesting. Team No. 5 with only four
players , won from Team No. 7 with
five players. Dildine shot alone in
the first half but couldn 't seem to
find the loop. Sechrist shot it alone
in the secon d half "and had six points
to her credit. It isn 't always quantity of players that makes up a good
team. The final score was 7-5.
No. 2 surprised No. 9 by winning
from them with a score of 13-3. Lawson and Evans at forward made a
good pair and had Forg*ng and Galazi p wondering where they would
shoot from next. Team No. 9 was
handicapped by the absence of a player but will probably improve with the
addition o fthis player.
There was ju st one big set-back of
the afternoon. This was when Team
No. 6 sent only one player (Banta) to
compete against Team No. 4 who
sent four players to hold forth for
them. Fahringer , Maddox , Davis and
Roachford deserve a lot of credit for
comin gout and still more for being
kind enough not to try to swamp
Ban ta , the lo n-e star of Team No. 6.
Gillow , Smi t h , Keller , Snyder,
Sonner and Gray bill served well at
the Referee -— umpire positions.
They worked together very well and
with all probably be used qui te often
this year.
If we could find some official scorekeepers and timers we would be all
set for a line season. Anyone who

and others featured in the program.
The concert opened with several

took up the program with several
pleasing songs. Following this, Henry Warman , popular soloist at the
College, sa ng one of his pleasing numbers.
The double quar tet, also under t he
direction of Miss Moore and composed of memb ers of t he Glee Club , supplied the next part of the program.
Mr. Wolever , Mr. Brown , Mr. Kurtz,

The Junior Chamber of Commerce,
the organization of the students in
the Department of Commerce, is
planning to hold a Commercial Contest for high school students on May
16, 1931 , in order to make known the
type of professional work being developed in the college, in the special
curriculum for training commercial
teachers. Bookkeep ing, Shorthand ,
Typewriting, Business Arithme tic,
Business Writing, and Business Law
will be the subjects used for the contest.
The college will furnish living accommodations for the contestants
while they are in Bloomsburg. An effort will be made to see that all high
school contes t ants are t rea ted wit h
courtesy , and tha t t he contest s are so
held as to insure fair play to everyone.
Gold , silver and bron z e medals w ill
be given by the Junior Chamber of
Commerce as prizes to the successful
contes tants. The high school bringing the best team of students will receive a silver loving cup.
The visitors may register and contestants may be admitted to the college at 8:30 A. M., May 16. Contests
will begin at 9:00 A.( M. and will cont inue each ho u r thereaf ter unt il all
contestants have participated. Each
contest will last only fifty minutes.
The contest material will be objective
in nature in so far as it is consistent
with modern testing practices.
Each high school may enter two
students in each event. The principal of the high school from which
each contestant comes shall certify
to his eligibility to participate in a
contest as the representative of his
high school.
A Commercial Contest Cup will be
awarded to the high school having the
best team of contestants. A team of
contestants will consist of five contestants from any high school which
has participated in at least three of
the six contest events. Any high
school winning the Commercial Contest Cup three times will be entitled
to retain the cup permanently .
T-ho entire college is interested in
the success of the contest and it is
quite likely that it will be one of the
most important events of the college
year.
Coach Booth 's powerful basketball
quinte t scored a commendable victory
over the highly-touted Kutztown
State Teachers College team on Saturday af ternoon in the college gymnasium and continued its march toward the 1931 State Teachers College
basketball championship. The final
score was 58 to 34.
Beginning with a bang, t he Maroon
and Gold held a 33 to 16 lead at half
time, due to a great scoring spree.
Ku tztown fough t valiantly to overcome this lead, but Bloomsburg was
never headed off , Bloomsburg scoring
25 points to 18 points for Kutztown
in the second half.
Captain "Gord" Wanbaugh led the
offensive for the Booth-men with 22
points, closely followed by "Joe "
Yock , star forward , who had 19
poin ts. Throughout the whole game
the team-play of the Maroon and
Gold was evidently the decisive factor in the winning of the contest.
"Tarn " Kirker gave a good exhibition
of pass-work, and Golder and Shep¦ela , the dependable guards of Bloomsburg, many a time broke up a scoring
threat of Kutztown by batting the
ball ou t of the opponent' s hands in t o
the bleachers. Foul shooting is the
only dep artment of basketball in
which our boys seem to be weak. In
a close game accurate foul shooting
goes a long way toward winning the
con test.
Moyer and Swoyer, of Kutztown ,
were the leading scorers for the opponents , getting their points by hardearned baskets.
There was great enthusiasm among
the Bloomsburg fans, and the "oldtime " pop was evident.
The college Junior Varsity easily
defeated the Kutztown Jay-Vees by
the score 39-27. Rudowslri. F. Jaflin.
and Yaretski starre d on the offense
for Bloomsburg. This is the fifth
straight victory for tho undefeated
Junior Varsity.
At 4:00 o 'clock today our boys will
do battle with the Lock Haven S. T.
C. A big crowd is expected to attend
this game because it is an important
one and the Booth-men wish to
avonge the reverse handed to us in
football.
On Saturday evening Mansfield will
be hero. The team is said to bo a
fast aggregation.

faculty at the regular chapel period

Dr. Hoban gave a brief discussion
of European education. He outlined
the teacher situation in Pennsylvania.
In England wide use is made of

among the younger groups. Much of
the education in England makes a

PROFESSIONAL
r\
o
In no other profession do personal
qualities so quickly translate themselves into professional qualifications
as in teaching. The nature of teachers ' woi'k decrees the vocational significance of their ma nners in personali ty and character.
From t i m e to time w e have seen
teachers or prospective teachers who
fail to act in a true professional manner.
By way of illustration it may bo
said that the use of uncouth language
is a liberty and apparently an enjoy able privilege of persons in many occup ations; vocationall y, it makes no
differe nce how they talk, Low taste
and cruclenoss with them have only
per sonal and not professional significance. With the teacher , ho w e v er ,
there is and can be no such freedom.
The boys of North Hall should realize
the fact that they cannot break themselves of this habit in a day.
It makes considerable difi'erence
how a teacher talks, whether or how
much he swears, and what his manners are like. Ho is dealing with
human material which is easily influenced by all of those personalprofessional qualities.
DEBATING TEAM SELECTED
The results of the recent try-outs
for the debating team are at follows :
Thelma Knauss , Ka therine Smi th ,
Alfred Vandling, Carl Riggs, on the
Afl'rmative Team ; Grace Callendex*,
Lois DeMott , Pa ul Baker on the Negative Team.
The deba te manager, Carl Riggs, is
arranging for debates with at least
five State Teachers Colleges. Each
of these will be a dual debate , and
will be held in March or April. We
are t o hav e deba t es wi th Clarion ,
Slipp ery Rock and Mansfield. Arrangements for the others have not
as ye t been completed.
Miss Johnson and Mr. Reams, the
able coaches , have pro duced winning
teams in former years. The teams
this year look very promising and excellent results are predicte d for them.
MID-YEAR DANCE
The annual mid-year dance held on
Saturday proved to be a great success. Banners of colleges and cities
fro m "Coast to Coast" hung around
the gy mnasium. Cretonne pillows,
which were very much enjoyed by the
onlookers , decora ted the bleachers.
The floor was crowded during the
en tire evening, for everyone who
danced was enjoying the Maroon and

During the evening, "Bob" Parker

VACATION TIME
The halls are still ,
No laughter greets the chang ing

The void t o fill ,
No voice that echoes from the towers.

The files and books are all in place ;

They cha tt er , smile or set t he pace?
For cer tain men
The school without the child is fine.
It aids the pen.

IRENE BEWLEY TO
PRESENT SKETCHES
On the evening of February 4, in
the Bloomsburg High School auditorium , Miss Irene Bewley, of Tennessee
will present a series of mountain
character sketches.
In reflecting the humor and the
quaint philosoph y of the mountain
people , h'onc Bewley is on familiar
ground for in addition to her unusual
ability in ihor chosc-n field , she has the
advantage of being a native of the
foothills of the Tennessee mountain s,
Tho mountain character sketches
possess a rare charm and power that
are being felt wherever Miss Bewley
presents them.

FEMININE TOSSERS
MAKE GOOD SHOWI NG
Senior girls got off to a flying start
Friday af ternoon, January 23, and
maybe some surprise s weren 't* in
store.
The first two teams to play werc
No. 3 and No. 1. No. 3 had it all
over No. 1 from the start and the final score was 14-0. Beale and Rabb
are some guards. They surely know
how to get tha t ball and put it where
it belongs. Hopkins and Noble were
their star forwards and Noble had 12
of the total 14 poin ts to her credit.
The second game was equally interesting. Team No. 5 with only four
players , won from Team No. 7 with
five players. Dildine shot alone in
the first half but couldn 't seem to
find the loop. Sechrist shot it alone
in the secon d half "and had six points
to her credit. It isn 't always quantity of players that makes up a good
team. The final score was 7-5.
No. 2 surprised No. 9 by winning
from them with a score of 13-3. Lawson and Evans at forward made a
good pair and had Forg*ng and Galazi p wondering where they would
shoot from next. Team No. 9 was
handicapped by the absence of a player but will probably improve with the
addition o fthis player.
There was ju st one big set-back of
the afternoon. This was when Team
No. 6 sent only one player (Banta) to
compete against Team No. 4 who
sent four players to hold forth for
them. Fahringer , Maddox , Davis and
Roachford deserve a lot of credit for
comin gout and still more for being
kind enough not to try to swamp
Ban ta , the lo n-e star of Team No. 6.
Gillow , Smi t h , Keller , Snyder,
Sonner and Gray bill served well at
the Referee -— umpire positions.
They worked together very well and
with all probably be used qui te often
this year.
If we could find some official scorekeepers and timers we would be all
set for a line season. Anyone who
t hinks she can fill t he bill , please
come arou nd.
