of an alumnus, was one of the vocalists. The group sang many of the old
class songs and the Alma Mater and

It is not the purpose of a poor little egotistical editor of a college paper such as the Maroon and Gold to
give the individual who perpetrated
this act any fatherly advice. That
advice, considering its source, would
probably fall upon unhearing eai'S.
However, we would appreciate it
very much if somo "dear friend" of
tho individual who did this high
school trick would quietly whisper in
that individual' s ear tho fact that tho
act was entirely "unconventional"
and to say the least, poor taste. But ,
"Even your best friend won't toll
you !"
An impor tant factor in reducing
the expense of attending Montana
State Normal College is the text-book
library. For the nominal fee of $2
per quar ter all text-books for the
quarter may be ren ted. Dictionaries
costing $4 each are furnished to each
studen t. A conservative estimate of
Jhe saving for each student per quarter by the text-book library is from
$10 to $30. Students who wish to own
any of these books may buy them for
the price the College pays for them.
Frequently sales are held in which
large numbers of old and worn books
are sold for practically nothing.

his character (a freshman who attends Higgins College) through registration , fraternity rushing, h ell

What is known as "comprehensive
examination by referring to textbooks " has been suggested by Professor H. E. Smith, of Brown University. Under this system the student
goes to his class on a certain day,
draws a slip on which is indicated a
subj ect within the field of his knowledge. Twenty-four hours later he
returns with a complete lecture written on the subj ect, including an adequate bioliography and a fresh and
personal treatment of the subject
matter.
The topics arc chosen in such a
manner that the task is hopeless for
the student unless he has possession
of an abundant number of facts and
has skill in organizing those facts.
This system is now in use in European universities and is meeting
with wide approval from both students and professors.

JUNIOR PROM SUCCESSFUL
The gym was becomingly decked
with crepe paper of most harmonizing colors. The green was the color
of fresh , new blades of grass after
a summer shower. The yellow was
the color of the sky when the sun
sets and nothing remains but the
glow on the western horizon.
The Maroon and Gold Orchestra
sounded like Waring*s Pennsylvanians at their best. It was placed in
the center of the gym on the left side
of the walls. The rhythm from this
point seems to carry to all parts of
the gym.
There was no postling of elbows
and no stepping on corns for the
crowd was j ust the right size.
The Junior Class is to be complimented on the fine work it has accomplished this year. By perseverance and dint of much hard work
they made a startling success of the
Class Play. The dance was handled
in the same able manner and the
Juniors may rest on their laurels until next year when they will have
new fields to conquer.

GIRLS' CHORUS PRESENTS
A DELIGHTFUL CANTATA
"Pan , on a Summer Day, " a cant a ta , was presented by the Girls '
Chorus of Bloomsburg State Teachers College in the College Auditorium on Friday evening , May 8. The
Chorus of fifty voices under the direction of Miss Patterson , was assisted by the College Symphony Orchestra.
Af ter the concert the
audience withdrew to the gym and
danced.
Few programs have carried the
universal -commendation of the
audience as this one did. From the
opening number by the Symphony
Orchestra to the closing strains from
the "Cheerleaders " in the gymnasium , every minute was enj oyable.
It was a good-sized audience that
heard the descrip tion of Pan and his
world
. Pan awakes with the
flush of morning and hurries the belated night on her way. He plays
merry with Dawn 's children , the sunbeams , dew drops, and cob-webs—
Suddenly ou t of the morning 's peacefulness,- sound the drops of a freshing shower
Pan strays to the riv
er , where he takes refuge from the
noonday sun , and finds coolness
along the banks
A great storm
ovei'takes him, and he becomes
afraid
As he passes through the
forest , he is saddened by the sight
of a fallen oak
Evening draws
near , and in the twilight solitude he
sings his serenade to night.
The audience was especially delighted with the description of the
summer shower and the great storm.
The technical perfection of the
chorus was fully exercised by these
numbers.
TK e orchest ra , under t he dire ction
of Mr. Fenstemaker, added distinctly
to the program. The cantata opened with two numbers from the orchest ra , Shubert's "March Militarie "
and a Hungarian Czardas, "Lost
Love ," by J. Gungl. The second part
of the program featured the oror chest r a in t he ove rt ure "Mireille,"
by Gounod. The "Rakoczy March"
by Berlioz-Liszt, was the concluding
nu mber by the orchestra.
At the dance following the can
tata the "Cheerleaders ," led by Sam
Kurtz , furnished plenty of dance
rhy thms.
The program in detail follows :
1. Orchestra : "Marche Militaire ";
Czards, "Lost Love. "
2. Chorus; "Pan on a Summer
Day."
3. "Pan Awakes the World. "
4. "Morning Song-Sunbeams , Dew

It is not the purpose of a poor little egotistical editor of a college paper such as the Maroon and Gold to
give the individual who perpetrated
this act any fatherly advice. That
advice, considering its source, would

However, we would appreciate it

the expense of attending Montana
State Normal College is the text-book
library. For the nominal fee of $2
per quar ter all text-books for the
quarter may be ren ted. Dictionaries
costing $4 each are furnished to each
studen t. A conservative estimate of
Jhe saving for each student per quarter by the text-book library is from
$10 to $30. Students who wish to own
any of these books may buy them for
the price the College pays for them.
Frequently sales are held in which
large numbers of old and worn books
are sold for practically nothing.

What is known as "comprehensive
examination by referring to textbooks " has been suggested by Professor H. E. Smith, of Brown University. Under this system the student
goes to his class on a certain day,
draws a slip on which is indicated a
subj ect within the field of his knowledge. Twenty-four hours later he
returns with a complete lecture written on the subj ect, including an adequate bioliography and a fresh and
personal treatment of the subject
matter.
The topics arc chosen in such a
manner that the task is hopeless for
the student unless he has possession
of an abundant number of facts and
has skill in organizing those facts.
This system is now in use in European universities and is meeting
with wide approval from both students and professors.

JUNIOR PROM SUCCESSFUL
The gym was becomingly decked
with crepe paper of most harmonizing colors. The green was the color
of fresh , new blades of grass after
a summer shower. The yellow was
the color of the sky when the sun
sets and nothing remains but the
glow on the western horizon.
The Maroon and Gold Orchestra
sounded like Waring*s Pennsylvanians at their best. It was placed in
the center of the gym on the left side
of the walls. The rhythm from this
point seems to carry to all parts of
the gym.
There was no postling of elbows
and no stepping on corns for the
crowd was j ust the right size.
The Junior Class is to be complimented on the fine work it has accomplished this year. By perseverance and dint of much hard work
they made a startling success of the
Class Play. The dance was handled
in the same able manner and the
Juniors may rest on their laurels until next year when they will have
new fields to conquer.
Have I enough self-control and
power of will to undergo the selfsacrifice t ha t my ambi t ion s en t ail
and to save sufficiently to pay for

The young man who can answer
all these questions in the affirmative
has made a promising start on the
road to success and is almost certain
to succeed.

GIRLS' CHORUS PRESENTS
A DELIGHTFUL CANTATA
"Pan , on a Summer Day, " a cant a ta , was presented by the Girls '
Chorus of Bloomsburg State Teachers College in the College Auditorium on Friday evening , May 8. The
Chorus of fifty voices under the direction of Miss Patterson , was assisted by the College Symphony Orchestra.
Af ter the concert the
audience withdrew to the gym and
danced.
Few programs have carried the
universal -commendation of the
audience as this one did. From the
opening number by the Symphony
Orchestra to the closing strains from
the "Cheerleaders " in the gymnasium , every minute was enj oyable.
It was a good-sized audience that
heard the descrip tion of Pan and his
world
. Pan awakes with the
flush of morning and hurries the belated night on her way. He plays
merry with Dawn 's children , the sunbeams , dew drops, and cob-webs—
Suddenly ou t of the morning 's peacefulness,- sound the drops of a freshing shower
Pan strays to the riv
er , where he takes refuge from the
noonday sun , and finds coolness
along the banks
A great storm
ovei'takes him, and he becomes
afraid
As he passes through the
forest , he is saddened by the sight
of a fallen oak
Evening draws
near , and in the twilight solitude he
sings his serenade to night.
The audience was especially delighted with the description of the
summer shower and the great storm.
The technical perfection of the
chorus was fully exercised by these
numbers.
TK e orchest ra , under t he dire ction
of Mr. Fenstemaker, added distinctly
to the program. The cantata opened with two numbers from the orchest ra , Shubert's "March Militarie "
and a Hungarian Czardas, "Lost
Love ," by J. Gungl. The second part
of the program featured the oror chest r a in t he ove rt ure "Mireille,"
by Gounod. The "Rakoczy March"
by Berlioz-Liszt, was the concluding
nu mber by the orchestra.
At the dance following the can
tata the "Cheerleaders ," led by Sam
Kurtz , furnished plenty of dance
rhy thms.
The program in detail follows :
1. Orchestra : "Marche Militaire ";
Czards, "Lost Love. "
2. Chorus; "Pan on a Summer
Day."
3. "Pan Awakes the World. "
4. "Morning Song-Sunbeams , Dew
