Rygiel For the past seven years , Mr. Rygiel has been sponsor of the Business Education Club although he has served as sponsor or co-sponsor since he began teaching at Bloomsburg in 1938. Before coming to Bloomsburg, Mr. Rygiel was Head of the Commercial Department at Wyoming Memorial High School. Wyoming , Pennsylvania. During his first year at B.S.T.C. he taught Shorthand, Typewriting , and Business Law.

Rygiel. It is the boast of the department that in 1939, its founder, Mr. Harvey A. Andruss, was appointed as president of the College. In the meantime, the annual Commercial Contest had taken on such an expansion of interest and participation that it became necessary to divide contestants into two groups: Class A consisting of senior-high schools with over 500 students; Class B consisting of high schools with no more than three commercial teachers and less than 500 pupils. This set-up has been retained to the present time. During the war years the college activities were dominated by the V-12 and V-5 units at the college. But in the Summer of 1946, as the Navy units moved out of Navy Hall with the conclusion of the program, the Business Education Department began moving in. By the beginning of the fall term of 1946-7 instruction of all business subjects except office practice were centered in this fine new building. Navy Hall was erected just prior to the war, intended originally as a junior high school. It !ended itself, however, to the needs of the rapidly growing Department of Business Education which at that time had a capacity enrollment of 300 students. At the present time the department boasts approximately 320 students and nine faculty members. It has a fine new building in Navy Hall with the finest, most modern lighting, heat, and ventilation. The clerical practice room recently completed on the first floor of Navy Hall has the most modern equipment available as do typing and stenographic rooms. With all the fine, modern equipment and the unusually competent teaching staff with Mr. Richard G. Hallisy at the helm, it is inevitable that Bloomsburg should take the lead in providing the highly competent and skilled commercial teachers that the highly complex society of today demands. YE OLDE SHIP, "Business Education," was christened and launched on its maiden voyage at Bloomsburg in the fall of 1930. It was at that time that the Department of Public Instruction designated the State Teachers College at Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, as one of the institutions where commercial teachers for high schools of the state would be trained. The ship put out to sea with two officers, Mr. Harvey A. Andruss and Miss Margaret Hoke, and with a crew of less than fifty students in the department. On September 15, 1930. the students of the Commercial Department organized the Junior Chamber of • Commerce which blossomed out into a flurry of shipboard activity during the remainder of the year. On May 15, 1931, the department sponsored the in it i a I Commercial Contest. It was such an outstanding success that it has become an annual event sponsored by the Business Education Department. Having many members in the Business Education Department eligible for membership, in the fall of 1934, the Junior Chamber of Commerce petitioned for membership in the National Professional Business Education Fraternity, Pi Omeqa Pi. This fraternity was founded at the State Teachers College at Kirksville, Missouri, in 1923, and at the present time boasts of sixty-three chapters located all over the United States. The Alpha Delta Chapter of Pi Omeqa Pi was installed at Bloomsburg on May 28, 1935, for the purpose of recognizing superior scholarship in the business subjects and professional promise of prospective commercial teachers. The next few years were a period of great expansion. In 1937 Mr. William C. Forney took the helm of the department as Director of Business Education. In the same year Pi Omega Pi began publication of a monthly newspaper, "Pop." January, A Brief History of the Business Education Department 9 With Our Former Mates BUSINESS ED UCATION CLU B AvAST THERE you swabbies, it's time you were hearing from some of the old salts. Just to remind you, we were all at one time rookies going through boot training, but now we are through and are sailing the seas of life. We, as a seqment of the alumni, send our heartiest conqratulations to the Business Education Club upon their twentieth anniversary. We sincerely hope that the Business Education Club and all its members, past and present, will always keep the sails to the wind and continue their successful proqress into the future. To show you what happens to us once we get our sea legs, we have listed below the names of the 1949 members and their olace of emoloyment. We may not all be captains of our own ships as yet, but remember that every member of a crew is necessary for the proper operation of that ship. In conclusion, it might be interesting to note that eight graduates are teaching in their home town, twenty-seven are teaching away from their home town, and that fifteen are teachinq out of the state of Pennsylvania as far West as Montana. But no matter how far we may sail in the sea of life, Bloomsburg State Teachers College will always remain with us as our "mother ship." So here's to the future mates, and may it bring success and happiness. NAME HOME TOWN PLACE OF EMP. Taking graduate study Tch., Williamsport Tch., Williamsport Unemployed Tch., Shinglehouse, Pa.

In addition to teaching J.B.T., Consumer Ed., Economic Geography, and Math at Clayton High School. Frank is coach of the Jayvee Basketball team.

Teaching 2 classes in Shorthand, 1 class in Typing, and 3 classes in Business Math would be plenty for most of us. But George finds that teaching night-school shorthand is an interesting sideline. He says that bringing in out.side related material, plus talks by members of the community add a lot to any subject. (He's working on his master's, too) Miss BETTY GILLIGAN, 355 Crooks Avenue, Paterson, Ne; Jersey. Betty's a "white-Collar girl" out in Paterson; she's employed as a secretary and has recently joined the National Secretaries Association.

A capable instructor in Shorthand and Typewriting Applications, and in Methods and Tests and Measurements, Mr. Hinkel is one of the most popular faculty members. He says that a quotation written on the blackboard at the beginning of the shorthand period is an attempt to give students a little humor, philosophy, and some additions to their shorthand vocabularies. And by the way, folks, by the time you're reading· thi.s, a certain three-year old lad by the name of Lee Hinkel, will be getting used to a new brother or sister!

That's the former Eleanor Shiffka's schedule nowadays. She says that as soon as Carol Ann, 5; and Marie Helene, 3, can take better care of themselves, she's coming back to BSTC for further study in the elementary curriculum. Wouldn't you say Anthony was lucky to have such a partner in his fire insurance business? MR. CHARLES L. KELCHNER, 3501 Minnesota Avenue, S. E., Washington 19, D. C. A busy lad, he! Besides being employed as budget analyst in the Navy Department, and being active in the Organized Reserve Corps, George expects to complete the requirements for his M.A. Degree in Public Administration at the American University in Washington, D.

Larry is teaching an explanatory course in Business Essentials, and Office Machines at Allentown High School. He's married and has two "little men": Larry H., 3; and Joel, 11 months. He's interested in home movies and photography, and we'll bet that Larry, Jr., and Joel prove to be interesting subjects. MR. CLEMENT G. KocH, 100 Rugby Road, Brooklyn 26, New York. Clem's questionnaire was pretty brief, folks. (He must be busy keeping track of how "Dem Bums" are doing). But he did tell us that he's a public accountant with Arthur 12 Assistant Professor of Bus. Administration at Wittenburg College. He received his M .S. in Commerce and Finance from Bucknell in 1947, and is teaching Accounting, Economics, Principles of Business Administraton, Business Correspondence & Reports.

Dot was a big help to your editor in sending out those questionnaires, and to her we send a vote of thanks! l MR. JOSEPH F. LYONS, 32 Spruce Street, Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Joe says he's not engaged as yet.

MANTZ, 828 Main Street, Slatington, Pa. If you happen to be on-campus some nice weekend, yo,1 may see Dale drive up in a brand new Pontiac. He's teaching Shorthand I and II.

KERR MILLER, 1212 High Street, Williamsport, Pa. "$1 per year and 50c to college students" -that's Kerr's Cry for the PBEA of which he is President.

His 15-year old daughter, Mary Jane, is mighty proud of her dad, and well she may be. MR. HARRY NELSON, Department of Anthropology, University of California, Berkeley, California.

D. #2, Hagerstown, Maryland. She's the former Jennis Tewksbury, and all we could find on her questionnaire, folks, was that she's married, with a little boy, James Jr., 4½ years old.

OLSON, JR., 1134 Yeadon Avenue, Yeadon, Pa. Ernie's doing his graduate work at the School of Retailing in N.Y.U.

STOUT, 97 Brookdale Gardens, Bloomfield, N. J.

What with belonging to an 'overactive' faculty organization, doing graduate study at Columbia evenings, and having a wife who likes to see me occasionally." MR. ANTHONY L. SALERNO, 206 Barber Street, Old Forge, Pa.

And says she, "How about a special get-together of POP on Alumni Day?" MRS. SCHIEBER, 3305 Race Street, Philadelphia 4, Pa. You knew her as Rose Marie Kraiser. Up until January 3 I, 1950, she'd been teaching Business English, Bookkeeping, JBT, and Typing I. She says that field trips to the Mint, the Inquirer Building, and various insurance offices helped to make those JBT classes interesting. Can you guess why she's discontinued teaching? The Schieber's have decided to start rearing a family, and "Junior" is expected in June. Congratulations! MRS. CLIFFORD R. YouNG, R. D. # 1, Sinking Spring, Pa. You graduates of '39 will remember L.

He Who from despair and fear sets free The restless, sullen soul of youth To range the harsh terrain of truth, And from the blind abyss of folly , The blackest pits of melancholy, To climb, to fall, to cling, to grope Up the grim Everest of hope Until above himself he stands, A new strength in his bleeding hands, And knows that by his faith he won The shining summits of the sun. -JOSEPH AUSLANDER 20 Pa.

A Sailor's Diary Pi Omega Pi As the good ship Alpha Delta Chapter owned by Pi Omega Pi started on its journey in October under the command of Admiral Earl A. Gehrig and manned by Captain Edward Messa, First Mate Paul Plevyak. Y oeman Dorothy Grifasi, Storekeeper Emory RariS-T, Officer Muriel Marks in charS,'Je of Social Programs, and Officer Betty Ridall in chaq:ie of refreshments; it had a crew consistins:i of the following members: John Carl. Max Cooley, Hazel Guyler, Walter Guy James, Edward Kreitz, Dorothy Lovett, Andrew Palencar, Charles Roberts, Joseph Sopko, and Nancy Wesenyak. In November the S,'Jood ship Alpha Delta Chapter stopped at the Island of Eligibility by the request of the other members of the crew to pick up such passengers whose names were inscribed in the ship's directory as follows: Shirley Ashner, Naomi Clark, Barbara Frederick, Lillian Mlkvy, Robert Montague, Dorothy Piche!, Marie Radzai, G. Jane Scheetz, Maxine Shirey, Marjorie Smith, Muriel Wagner, and Ralph Wire. As a result of an interesting forum on board ship in December, the officers together with the crew and passengers, decided to sponsor annually on their journey this clinic, the purpose of which is to acquaint the retiring crew and passengers with the problems encountered by beginning teachers. The entertainment for the evening of December 8 included Mr. Harold Miller, a retired member of the crew of Alpha Delta Chapter, and the topic of his speech was "Optimists of the Future." · As we reached the end of our first-half journey for the year, Officer Muriel Marks in charS,'Je of Social Programs secured films for the entertainment on the evening of January 12. Nearins:i the port of the Land of the Future such crew members and passengers as John Carl, Max Cooley, Dorothy Lovett, Robert Montague, Andrew Palencar, and Joseph Sopko left the service of the ship. Other crew members securing temporary leave for the city of Williamsport included Dorothy Grifasi, Walter Guy James, Edward Kreitz, and Marjorie Smith. The duties of the Y oeman formerly performed by Dorothy Grifasi were given to G. Jane Scheetz for the remainder of the journey. On a cold windy night in February Officer Muriel Marks secured some entertainment for the members on board ship, which included the speaker, Mr. Harry Gilmore, Supervising Principal of the Bloomsburg Schools, who s:iave a most interesting informal speech on "The Problems Confronting New Teachers in ApplyinS-T for a TeachinS-T Position." The Alpha Delta Chapter, homeward bound once again and looking for the Island of Eligibility, found entertainment on the eveninq of March 9 by the securing of some films by Officer Muriel Marks. With the Island of Eligibility in siS-Tht from the crow's nest. the officers together with the crew and passenS,'Jers decided to pick up the followinS-T additional passengers: Michael Hemlock, Charles Kraemer, Richard Kline, John Ryan, Hazel Palmer. Home port just out of sight, the members of the ship, including the passengers, crew, and officers, decided to have a banquet to end a happy and most interesting journey. Business Education Club 1949-1950 On October 6, 1949 Ed Messa, the president, met and extended greetings to all the new and old shipmates that would be with the club during the year. Mr. Rygiel, the club sponsor, was introduced and he explained the activities of the club. The committees were announced and introduced by Ed Messa. The Business Education Club docked at Carver Hall Auditorium on October 20 to hold its regular meeting. After the regular business meetinS,'J, Charles Edwards, the program chairman, introduced the speaker for the day, Miss Betty Fisher of the Hutchison Insurance Agency. It was not lonq ago that Miss Fisher was a member of our club, and the members were eager to hear her views on office etiquette, interviews, and holding a position. Miss Fisher stated that one must have the qualities of common sense and consideration in order to be a success in business. After having the first venture of the year, a "Doggie Roast," spoiled by squalls, we finally made port at Mount Olympus and had a noisy but wonderful time. I'm sure the Metropolitan Opera Company would have signed many of the members of the club on the spot if they would have had a scout there to hear the singing. On November 17 we were back at our home port, Navy Hall. This meeting proved to be a very informative, practical, and humorous one. Dorothy Lovett and Andrew Palencar, two of our members, told of their experiences when they were out student teachins:i. All the members of the club look forward to the day when they will be doing their teaching so they were eager to get some first-hand information on the subject. Miss Harriet Bailey came on board on December 1 and was introduced to the club by Rita Dixon. Miss Bailey told us of her work as county solicitor. She also gave us the educational background needed to become a lawyer and some valuable tips on the teaching of Law. At our home port on December 15, Mr. Decker, a representative of the A. B. Dick Company, displayed the various types of stencils. Mr. Decker explained the uses of these different stencils and also showed a new ball-point stylus to the group. Mr. Hallisy announced that a beginning teacher's clinic would be held with previous graduates beins:i the speakers. We made the cruise down to Science Hall on December 19 for our Christmas party. Club members entertained, and presents of a humorous nature were given to the business faculty members. After the refreshments, everyone went home - full but happy. On January 5, 1950 we had one of our finest meetings. Mr. John Haubert, head of the Office of Business Education in Pennsylvaniq, spoke on the teaching of business subjects. Mr. Haubert stressed the need for people to teach the s:ieneral business subjects instead of just teaching Shorthand, Typing, and Bookkeeping. He also explained the function of his office in relation to us as teachers. and bookkeeping. He also explained the function of his office in relation to us as teachers. As the Business Education Club sails on through the ycr1r, w~ look forward to more fine pros:irams and tw o of our bigs:iest events. Yet to come are the annual Business Education Contest and the annual banquet of our club. 21 Off Duty As the Cooperating Teacher Sees It . As we gaze into the deep blue sea, let's cast our line and reel in the important co-operating teachers' hints. It is necessary for the student teacher to show initiative and resourcefulness, tactfulness and an endeavor to understand pupils, and the ability to co-operate. Although many problems confront you as ·a student teacher, just be yourself and remember: 1. Bein\] well-prepared for the lesson is extremely important because it \jives the teacher assurance, and makes the class run more smoothly. 2. Know your students and do not have favorites. 3. Have a goal and make this \]Oal or aim clear to the students, tryin\j in every way to achieve it. Make it clear to the student that you two are partners and must work toqether; in the end he will benefit from it. 4. When somethin\l does not quite \JO over, do not use the same example aaain, but resort to a similar exaii-iple which will explain the problem. 5. Make your examples and illustrations as simple as possible, and as life-like as possible; try to have the students see the example at work in their awn every-day experiences. • • • Tips for Good Teaching from Those ''In the Know'' From Teens . .. 1. Be yourself ~ don't put on airs and think you're just "it." 2. Have the lesson well planned and know what you are talkin\j about. Present the lesson so the students can understand it. The student expects to learn as much from a student teacher as he does from his re\jular teacher. 3. Co-operate with your students. Have a kind and friendly attitude toward them as you would your best friends, but don't overdo it. 4. Have a sense of humor. A little added humor in the classroom tends to break the monotony. 5. Show courtesy toward your students. 6. Be able to keep order in the classroom. 7. Be energetic. Give a variety of work and do not sit down at the desk to present your lesson. The student feels the teacher should stand in front of the class while teachin\]. 8. Dress attractively, not \jaudily. Your clothes need not be the best, but students are very critical of neatness. 9. Make students feel at ease. 10. Help individual students when necessary but treat all individuals alike. Don't show partiality. With these points in mind, remember the students are your best critic masters. 6. Try to "draw out" from the students rather than "pour in." 7. When givin\] instructions, wait until everyone is quiet; \jive instructions simply, clearly and fully. 8. When trouble is brewinq, the very beginnin\], don't the small thin\]S ~ stop soon as you are aware of kill it in overlook them as them. 9. Less noise will be encoura\jed if the teacher is in the classroom as the students enter. 10. To avoid confusion, have your materials ready to distribute without wastin\] time. 11. If you make a deadline~keep your word, don't weaken! 12. Conduct the class as thou\jh fillin\j an actual teachin\] position. 13. Keep accurate daily records. 14. Be dependable and loyal to your students, co-operatin\] teachers, and administration. Supervising Teachers Mr. Forney and Mr. Rygiel During the first week or two, the student observes the training teacher at work. The student's aims should be ( 1 ) to get acquainted with the school's program, ( 2) to learn the names of the pupils, and ( 3) to familiarize himself with the established regulations of the school. On the first day of teaching, the student teacher can offset any feeling of fear, or completely eliminate fear, by being thoroughly 22 prepared . T his preparedness will in clu d e such t hings as: I. Adequate supply of workin\] material. 2. Blackboard ready for use. 3. Textbooks and other reference books on hand. 4. A masterly preparation of the matter that is to be tau0ht. A student teacher will find it profitable to p.ave an open mind for all suggestions. The more prepared the student teacher, the less chance he will have of being surprised at an unexpected call to participate in the work of the classroom. If differences or uncertainties arise between the students and the student teacher, the judgment of the training teacher should reign. T he training teacher expects to co-operate with the student teacher, so be ready for suggestions. He expects you to be courteous, willing, prompt, fair, and loyal to him. In the case of illness, there is no reason for your not letting your training teacher know that you will not be there. If the student teacher has a good reason for being absent, he should inform his training teacher or supervisor as quickly as possible. Therefore, it is advisable to have the telephone numbers and addresses of both training teachers and supervisors. One common question asked by all student teachers is "How familiar should a student teacher be with his pupils?" Certainly, a student teacher should be affable, for he can do much in promoting the welfare of his pupils and is entirely responsible for their progress. He should always show a friendly spirit, but not the "hailfellow" attitude. The students should respect the student teacher, and respect is not earned in this way. Be sympathetic, friendly, courteous, fair, well-mannered. It pays, for the student is likely to accept his share of responsibility more easily and willingly. As WE LOOK BACK over the past twenty years of growth of the Department of Business Education and over the records of our former students, now teachers, we cannot but feel a sense of pride and achievement. With this sense of pride comes a feeling of deep responsibility for the future. You, as graduates, share that responsibility with us. We are dependent upon you in a large measure for the recruitment of outstanding youth to become Future Business Teachers and Leaders of America. We are dependent upon you for constructive criticism. Only through your experiences can we evaluate our training program. The proof of teacher training is in the teaching. During the past year or two the following steps to improve our program have been taken: The ground work has been laid for curriculum adjustments which will increase the flexibility of our program and provide for broader training for those having had business courses on the high school level. Provision has been made for all teachers to observe student teachers in the classroom. The on-the-job needs of beginning teachers may be determined through this procedure. Additional audio-visual equipment has been secured by the college and transferred to the Business Department. The availability of this equipment has materially facilitated the use of visual aids in our classes. We are building a fine library of films on business and teaching subjects. All films are available for use by student teachers . We are looking forward with confidence to the beginning of another twenty years of voyaging. We are counting on your cooperation; enrich our cargo with your experiences so that we may carry them to new ports. R. G. HALLISY, Director BUSINESS EDUCATION DEPARTMENT 23 I Worth Memorizing . . EDUCATION That man, I think, has had a liberal education who has been so trained in youth that his body is the ready servant of his will and does with ease and pleasure all the work that, as a mechanism, it is capable of; whose intellect is a clear, cold logic engine, with all its parts of equal strength and in smooth working order; ready, like a steam engine, to be turned to any kind of work and spin the gossamers as well as forge the anchors of the mind; whose mind is stored with a knowledge of the great and fundamental truths of Nature and of the laws of her operations; one who, no stunted ascetic, is full of life and fire, but whose passions are trained to come to heel by a vigorous will, the servant of a tender conscience; who has learned to love all beauty, whether of Nature or of art, to hate all vileness and to respect others as himself. Such a one and no other, I conceive, has had a liberal education; for he is, as completely as a man can be, in harmony with Nature. He will make the best of her and she of him. They will get on together rarely; she as his ever-beneficent mother, he as her mouthpiece, her conscious self, her minister and interpreter. Those who take honors in Nature's university, who learn the laws which govern men and things and obey them, are the really great and successful men in this world. by Thomas Henry Huxley 24
