Dr. Frank Guy Armitage will .present his well known program "Dickens and His Queer Folk" in chapel
on Friday, April 8. Characters well
known to everyone and particularly
interesting since the recent movies of
"David Copperfield" and "A Tale of
Two Cities" have revived these well
known st ories, will people the stage
in rapid succession and one will marvel anew at the variety of emotion
and the knowledge of human nature
which this writer displayed.
Fellowship Honor
"No one portrays the humor and
pathos of Dickens with such depth
of feeling as does Frank Guy Armi^ was the statement made
tage." This
by the Dickens Fellowship of New
York following his appearance before
them last season.
Dr. Armitage is an Englishman by
birth and an American by education
and adoption. He holds the degrees
of Master of Arts and Doctor of
Philosophy and is a Fellow of the
Royal Geographical Society and the
Royal Colonial Institution.
During the war, he served with the
Canadian forces and received the
British decoration of the Military
Cross at the hands of the late King
George in Buckingham Palace.
Worked Apprenticeship
As a young man, he was apprenticed to the engineering firm which
recently built the Queen Mary, and
he loved his job so much that he

Last Friday the Milton Symphony,'
Orchestra appeared for the third
time in B.S.T.C. at which time it
presented an interesting program
consisting of Russian overtures and '
symphonies. The orchestra, under ,
the direction of E. Hart Bugbee, was
made up of the leading musicians of
Milton and surrounding towns, who
have united in an effort to keep alive
the great masterpieces of the world's
leading composers.
This concert was the 79th appearance of the orchestra since its formation in 1919. Since Tchaikovsky is
recognized as the leading of Russian
composers, his selections constituted .
the greater portion of the concert.

he was caught and made to return
and finish his apprenticeship. Completing that, he immediately began
to follow the career which he had
chosen and which has taken him all
over the part of England where
Dickens lived and worked.
He is a fascinating and entertaining person and, in addition to his programs on Dickens, can entertain for
an entire evening with magic and
various other lighter forms of program.

discussion. Dr. Paul Crossman closed the conference with a short talk
on the implications of the new compulsory school law.

Attired in Full Regalia

Mr. Charles Eagle Plume, a member of the "Black Foot" Tribe of
Indians, and a graduate of Colorado
University, visited the Bloomsburg
campus last week. He was attired
in complete Indian dress, and had
with him a blanket, a number of various head dresses and several other
ornaments with which he illustrated
various dances of love, peace, and
war. ,

He also discussed the morals, customs, beliefs, and manners of the

he ran away to another tribe where
he first witnessed the "Sweetheart",

At a recent meeting of the Junior
Chamber of Commerce it was decided
to have a picnic instead of the ban- .
quet which is sometimes held in the
Spring. Full details for the picnic
have not been completed, but it will
probably be held sometime in May.
The past picnics held by the club
have been very successful and the
club felt that another picnic would./''
be advisable. A picnic was held
last Fall to open school and another
picnic to close school seemed appropriate. So, Junior Chamber of Commerce members get limbered up for
that skating party. Mr. Kantor has
informed the club he has a" number
of new thrilling skating tricks to
perform. However, his Dying Swan
is considered to be the "tops" in ' the
skating world.

Savages and Heathens
The representatives of two races
have stood before our assembly recently to tell us of their civilizations
—the red man or Indian, and t he
yellow man or Chinese.
We who are white and civilized
. and superior, so we believe, call one
of them a heathen race and the other
a savage race. We call the Chinese
a- heathen race because the major ity
of them are not Christians ; they do
not worship our God. Being heathens has not hindered the progress of
their civilization for it is one of the
oldest in the world, and reached
peaks of superiority thousands of
years ago. We hold a peculiar respect for a Chinaman who springs
f rom such an illustrious background
of culture and knowledge.
The red men we call savages because their civilization had not progressed very far from the primitive
a t t he ti me our an cest ors colo n i zed
this country. Since that time we
have only been able to think of India n s as a wa r lik e people , their bodies daubed with paint , thei r faces
stonily solemn, their weird cries befo re battle , and their dancing about
a campfiro. Wo never , or rarely,
t hi n k of the r ed men a s t ille rs of
t he soil , as law-givers, as the ones
who introduced us to corn and tobacco , or as men and women of high
ideals and fine characters apnrt from
their savagery. But they were all
t hese, and now they are more—they
are citizens of the United States,
and as thoroughly civilized as we
are,
The white men came, claimed the
wilderness for their countries and
for themselves and drove out the rod
men. Since the first settling of
America, wo have been constantly
pushing the Indians further n n d

Spring 's in the Air - het 's Write Poetry
"In Sp ring a young man'e fancy
Lightly turns to thoughts of love."
And it is proverbially true that lovers thoughts turn to the writing of
poetry.
From the number of lovers on our
campus, we should surely produce
some large quantities of poetry at
B.S.T.C.
Haven 't some of you lovers ever
been inspired to set down your emotions in the forms of poetry ? Why
not share your feelings with the rest
of us. We're all human—and interested! If , perhaps, you are too
timid to reveal your personal poetry
to the public, do it anonimously. Why
not put your poetry in an envelope
addressed to the Maroon and Gold
and slip it under the post office
window.
If it has the mez-its of good poetry,
we will print it without any signature or with your initials.
Don 't be a "milquetoast" because
you are ashamed of writing lovepoems! Some of the most famous
ijoest from the Roman Catullus, who
wrote to his Lesbia, on down to our
modern Teasdale, have been inspired
by love.
It is usually the women poets who
write the love-lyrics. Yet the men
have also written some very lovely
sonnets. Even the great Shakespeare
wrote son nets , and he was surely no
'"sissy, " since he slso wrote tragedies
in which terrible murders were committed.
If you don 't like to be hampered
by rhyme schemes use blank verse.
If it sounds musical or produces a
thought picture it doesn't n eed to
rhyme. Let's see if Bloomsburg can 't
produce some spring-buds of poetry.

Mind Your Manners
1. Should a girl refuse a date just
by saying "No , I can 't go?"
2. Should a girl remain seated
when she is introduced to an older
woman ?
3. When boys and girls are at a
party together, which should be the
first to suggest going home?
4. When you are walking with a
friend who stops for a moment to
speak with someone you do not know,
should you walk slowly or wait for
an introduction.
5. What may a woman reply to a
man who says, "I am glad to have
met you , Miss Smith?"
Answers

1. She should at least add "I'm
sorry."
2. No.
3. Gi rls
4. Walk on
5. "Thank you" is all that is necessary.

Building
Walk up to the fielcj where the
gymnasium is rapidly rising, Notice
the cement blocks set one upon the
other interwoven by an intricate pattern of steel girders. Can you imagine that this mere wob jutting into
the sky will soon be a spacious and
attractive building , How confused ,
how incomprehensible the whole thing
appears, But under the supervision
of n skilled lender each worker knows
j ust what ho is to do and does it
well. In no time tho maze will be
untangled . And so it is with our
lives, How often life scorns to bo ono
mass of incomprehensibility, a complete chnos. But with a little though t
and supervision wo tnkc each part
carefully placing it in the proper
place nnd soon have a completeness
of which wo can bo proud,

Bloomsbur g High Panthers Runners-U p j
, Warrior Run Captures Class B Honors
A highly s u c c e s s f u l schoolboy
tourney was closed Saturday evening,
March 19, when the Freeland High
boys were victorious over the Bloomsburg scholastics 29-22 in a tough
battle.
The game was highly contested
and was typical of all the struggles
that took place on the local court.
Freeland as .CLASS A winners received a silver ball and gold medals
for each of the boys while Bloomsburg, the runners-up, received silver
medals. Warrior Run , CLASS B
champs received a «plaque and silver
medals while Exeter the runner-up
received silver medals also.
Every boy on the court received
some sort of an award last Saturday
evening and was one of the outstanding highlights of the tourney.

All the success of the meet is due
to Doctor Nelson, head of the Athletic Department, who worked hard
to put this thing across and he certainly did a fine job. With a capable
group of undergrads everything went
off in fine shape and ran smoothly to
make this the best Bloomsburg S. T.
C. scholastic tournament ever staged
since its beginning back' in 1925.
The teams that competed this year
were :
Class A—Freeland , Gilberton , Dickson City, Mahanoy Twp., Wyoming, (Cut, courtesy Berwick Enterprise)

With All Eyes Set on
Southern Trip

The baseball squad has been puting in some busy afternoons at the
Athletic Park since we have been
having such ideal weather. Some
of the boys are on the field from
1:30 to six o'clock.
Practice was confined entirely to
batting up, with Dr. E. H. Nelson
taking care that no fellow cuts loose
too early and gets laid up with a
sore arm.
About thirty boys took part in the
work out , all eager to make the squad
which will go on the first southern
trip in the history of the college.
As soon as the weather settles down
so that baseball weather is fairly
certain , the boys will take things
easy. They are hoping, however,
that the present stretch of weather
continues.

BOOK REVIE W
"The Turning Wheels"
The courage and daring of the
great tribal movement of the Boers
of South Africa are epitomized in
the book "The Turning Wheels."
It is not a fictional history of the
Dutch migration but a powerful
tragedy deriving its force and impulse from a unique tribal—national
movement.
The Boers had no reason to trek.
Most of them were comfortably settled in Dutch Africa but the great
desire for adventure impelled them
to leave and their great bravado
was evidenced in the manner which
they dealt with the ^ulus 'Tind Kaffies—native African^warriors.
The hand of ,God was seen in all
things bj^their leader Hendrich van
de Bdg who thought that God had
chosen him to lead his people to

listening to well-timed advice the
story comes to a tragic end with the

St. J ohn 's Educator
Urges Return to Old
Educational Theory
Dr. Stringfellow Barr, president of
St. John's College , believes that higher education should return to the aim
of cultivating "intellectual discipline."
And in advocating this change, he
says in no uncertain terms what is
wrong with U. S. colleges and universities : "Our typical liberal arts
college has simply become a place
where students have a great deal of
liberty. Few college presidents or
deans could say today exactly what
they mean by liberal arts.
"The faculty try to make their
courses
attractive and offer
instruction in journalism , coaching,
or financial management. T h e s e
things prove dull in the classroom,
so now I believe tho student has taken to drink. Perhaps that will be
incorporated in tho curriculum."
