The National 1927 Vol 12 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Obiter, 1927, Vol. 12: The Annual Publication of the Senior Class of Bloomsburg State Normal School, Bloomsburg, Pa In 1882 he came to Bloomsburg and was immediately recognized as a superior person. With absolute trust and confidence the townspeople gave him high and honorable public positions. He was president and general manager of Bloomsburg Heating Company, and the School Furnishing Company. He served as a director of the First National Bank and the Bloomsburg Water Company. He was also an organizer as well as the first president of the Bloomsburg National Bank and the Bloomsburg Hospital, which was organized as the Joseph Ratti Hospital. In 1899 he was made a trustee of the Bloomsburg State Normal School. His work as a trustee of our Alma Mater was outstanding, and so in 1893, his fair dealing and extraordinary accomplishments gained a higher glory for him, and he was made president of our institution. So, you see, we have chosen to dedicate our obiter to one who in him self is an example for our class. His progress and attainments stand out as beacon lights to show us what a sound mind and a willing worker can accomplish. His interest in fields of education endears him to us for we feel that having been a school teacher he is and will be for our cause. It is with regret that many of our classmates admit that they do not have a speaking acquaintance with Mr. Schoch. Many of us have a mere visual acquaintance with him, but that is not because we wished it to be so. The favored few who knew him well speak highly of him. Those who did not know him personally regret their ill-luck. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
