The purpose of such an arrangement is not necessarily to develop new activities, but to relate existing activities so as to make everyone in the college community aware of what is being done so that living and learning at Bloomsburg will consist of meaningful and developmental opportunities for growth. These experiences may be divided, for descriptive purposes, The coordination into three groups, as follows: Admission experiences. Progress experiences.

Progress Policy Progress experiences are those which usually occur during the four years of a student’s contact with the college. During the first semester it is hoped that the Guidance Director can interview each new student in the light of the material collected in the personnel blanks in the office of the Dean of Instruction. This cannot proceed until the placement results are made available by the Chairman of the Testing Committee. The Guidance Director will consider the information on the entrance blanks, and any other data which may have been accumulated. This probably means that new students will be interviewed only where difficulty arises during the first nine weeks. At the end of the first reporting period new students’ grades should be carefully studied, and those in difficulty interviewed, after which routine interviews for each ney student may proceed. If additional information seems to be necessary for guidance purposes, the coordinator may develop a form for faculty members to report briefly about the strong and weak points of all new students. This may cover such points as reading ability, spelling, use of Engish, penmanship, posture in walking, voice and laugh, dress and grooming, manners, sportsmanship, attitude toward study, cultural interest, character traits, emotional difficulties, etc. During the second semester, attention should be centered upon students who need further interviewing and follow-up so that at the end of the year recommendations may be made to the administration for a change of course, probationary status, or dropping from college, on the basis of both personal and class- room abilities.

This means that table service, leading to a knowledge of proper ettiquette; dress on the campus, in the dormitory, in the dining room; thoughtfulness; general politeness and demeanor; are to receive an increasing amount of attention. It shall be the responsibility of the Guidance Coordinator and the Deans of Men and Dean of Women to select the points of attack, and then we shall enlist the aid of all college classroom instructors and employees to the end that social adaptability as an important facet of personality can be encouraged to a degree never heretofore attained at our college. Recognition should be gven to all present efforts being successfully used to develop poise and social graces, such as the training of models for the Annual Fashion Show, and dramatic productions which serve to develop social graces and self-confidence. We shall attempt to build upon what we have so that by amplifying and supplementing our present efforts we may improve our ability to live together. Inauguration of table service on a limited basis has progressed to an extnet that we can say that some progress has been made while this statement was in the process of being prepared and reviewed by various administrative officers. o As a result of an ever-increasing effort to widen the scope of its services to in-service teachers, the Bloomsburg State Teachers College is now offering an extensive program of Saturday morning classes on the campus. At the present time the College is offering Saturday morning classes to teacher-in-service in the following courses: Ethics, Evolution of the American Public School, Visual Education, Educational Measurements, American Government, and School Law. The classes are being taught by regular members of the College faculty, including Ted J. Satterfield, Miss Harriet M. Moore, Dr. H. Harrison Russell, John J. Fisher, Dr. Nell Maupin and William B. Sterling. Page Three THE ALUMNI THE 1949 QUARTERLY FOOTBALL SEASON (From the Maroon and Gold) The 1949 Bloomsburg State Teachers College football season, if not the most successful in the school’s history, was surely the most colorful and thrilling. Wmning eight and losing only one, the opener, the power-laden Huskies combined a newly-established aerial assault with an already institutional ground attack. The Maroon and Gold had to come from behind in four contests this season, but nevertheless ended the year with a second consecutive claim to the Teachers College crown. The defense, although not as effective as in ’48, held opponents to a scant 90 points, while the offense rolled up one of the State’s highest totals, 229. In the season’s opener at Plymouth, the Husky forces lost their first football contest since the Shippensburg fray during the 1947 season. The Wilkes gridders, taking advantage of Husky miscues, were outscored the scoring column, 20-7. in statistics, but triumphed in An intercepted pass set up the first Wilkes tally, and another interception was run the distance to put the winners out in front 14-0. Kriss ended a sustained march by reversing for the only Bloomsburg score, and Tavalsky kicked the extra point to make the score stand 14-7. Wilkes clinched the upset by scoring at the end of the contest on a 60 yard pass play. An aroused and improved Husky machine pushed Mansfield all over Berwick’s Crispin Field as the Bloomsburgers hit winning ways once again with a decisive 26-0 win. Reedy sneaked across the line for the initial score, followed by Lichty’s plunge for a tally, and Kriss’ famed reverse. The last TD was added on a pass between reserves Stefanik and Dietz. Tavalsky con- verted twice. Passing for ninety yards with less than two minutes remaining, and with the score standing at 14-13 in favor of Lock Haven, George Lambrinos set up the winning tally and then watched a plunge bring victory to home plate. A 60 yard pass to Kriss was the outstanding plav in the desperation drive. Kriss had earlier scored on a 59 yard jaunt to a touchdown. The winning 6-pointer was scored with the clock reading one minute, ten seconds remaining, and the score 20-14. Ten seconds later Lambrions made the score 26-14 with an intercepted pass resulting in a Husky touchdown. Doing everything the way it should be done, the Huskies added win number four against a supposedly-strong Millersville cub. The issue was never in doubt as Bob Lang led the Huskies Lang galloped 83 to a 22 first-down splurge and 32-7 decision. yards to paydirt for one tally, and scored a second time on a line Page Four T H E ALUMNI QUARTERLY plunge. Jake Lichty and Danny Farrell scored on line bucks, while Maturani returned a pass interception for a Bloomsburg 6-counter. The Marauders scored on a series of passes. 14-13 victory over the Shippensburg Red Raiders was logged in the Husky record book on Homecoming Day as Ed Tavalsky converted successfully following Jim Reedy’s tying quarterback sneak in the final period. Kriss’ pass interception set up the winning tally while the first local touchdown came on a Lambrinos-to-Kriss pass that was good for 27 yards. 65 yard runback of a Bloomsburg punt gave Shippensburg its first tally Ed Gerlock made it 13-0 with a 2’ yard off-tackle scamper in the second period, only to have the Huskies come from behind for their fifth straight win. Previously undefeated Kutztown was toppled by a determined Bloomsburg football team at the Berks County school to the satisfying tune of 27-14. Rolling up 19 first downs to nine, the Huskies were in command during the entire ctntest. With Kriss going around end, Parrell through the middle, Bob Lang legging a reverse, and DePaul cashing in on a lateral, the Maroon and Goldsters swept to an easy win. Tavalsy converted three times. The Huskies, tuning up for the finale against East Stroudsburg, drubbed Lycoming College, at Williamsport, for their seventh straight victory and 48 more points on the record. Lycoming failed to chalk up a tally. The climax of the season came in the game with East Stroudsburg when, by a score of 28-22, the Huskies won their twentieth victory out of the twenty-one games. For the fourth time this season, B.S.T.C. was forced to come from behind to win. In a game marked by rough, hard play, twelve seniors played their last college game. The Redman aggregation was effective on the ground, A A up 264 yards by this method, compared to 66 yards thus gained by East Stroudsburg. East Stroudsburg advanced 183 by air, while the Huskies passed to gain 90 yards. Bloomsburg had nineteen first downs, while East Stroudsburg gained eleven. The 1949 season thus takes its place with that of 1948, to occupy a permanent place in athletic history at Bloomsburg. rolling o The Bloomsburg State Teachers College presented Litia Namoura, exotic solo dancer, and Alfred Patten, young American pianist, as the featured artists in the first number of the 194950 Artists Course series Monday evening, September 19, in the Carver Auditorium. Namoura, in her first Central Pennsylvania appearance, brought an authentic background to the dance creations which are featured on her program. Page Five THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY SQUAD LOSES TWELVE SENIORS Like the undefeated 1948 Husky football eleven, the 1949 B.S.T.C. football team is now history. Twelve seniors, all of whom have made Bloomsburg football power what it is, played their last game for the Maroon and Gold cause. The deeds of these Husky gridders are almost legendary. Missing from next year’s gridiron warfare will be Steve Kriss, Jim Reedy, Bob Leshinski, Joe Apichella, Paul Slobozien, John Maturani, Berni DePaul, Lou Gabriel, Willis Swales, Dick Wilford, Rodney Morgans and Ed Jones. All told, four backs, three centers, three guards, one tackle and one end have played their last for Bloomsburg. Steve Kriss, a Berwick product, is one of the finest backs ever to play for the Huskies. former Marine, Steve performed at wingback, specializing on wide reverses. He took his turn at passing and receiving tosses. Steve played a consistent game every time he took the field, and this year has made his bid for conference honors. Jim Reedy followed Left Danks from Miton in 1946 and has been a Husky standout ever since. fullback for his first three years in college ranks, Jim switched to blocking back and signal caller this year when Coach Redman was short on quarterbacks. The Huskv offense really rolled when Jim called signals. Apichella, a tailback from Hazleton, was hampered this season with a pair of sore legs, but saw limited action as safety man on the defense. His worth was shown in his brilliant performances last year as a scatback and passer. Leshinski transferred from Mansfield State where he performed for Ted Casey. Leshinski was the regular safety man in Coach Redman’s defense. His punt returns have aided the Husky cause all season.

Three additional Huskies, not yet seniors have played their last game for Bloomsburg.

One graduate told me he was as proud to see his name there as he was to receive his diploma. Come to think of it, what have we really done in a material way to say “thank you” for what that diploma has meant to us through the years? That diploma may be in a trunk, it may be in a frame in the attic, it may be rolled up in a cupboard, but its worth is evidenced by the position we occupy today. Let's do something more than say “its a grand old school.” Sentiment never aids progress when used in pure form. Its chief value is that of a catalyst, with a “river winding” in the background. Glad to note that Florence Hess Price, ’18, has been elected to the Presidency of the New Jersey Education Association for a term of two years.

Schools. Page Nine THE Survey of QUARTERLY ALUMNI 1949 Graduates The annual survey letter has been sent to 225 graduates of the Class of 1949 of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College to determine the numbers in teaching, graduate work, business and other gainful occupations. The Placement Service has already accumulated information on 187 of the 225 graduates. Of the number reporting to date, 79 per cent are engaged in teaching, 10 per cent are in graduate schools ,and slightly over 10 per cent are gainfully employed in business. It is expected that when the remaining 32 students are reached the ratio of 8 out of every 10 graduates placed in teaching positions may be affected. In the light of previous studies made by President Harvey A. Andruss and members of the staff, this rate of placement is very encouraging considering the large number if graduates and the general shortage of elementary teachers and an over-supply of secondary school teachers of English and Social Studies. Business teachers who are able to teach Shorthand and Typewriting are still in demand. However, the positions for teaching, 35 of 69 secondary school graduates are teaching. Of the 52 graduates in the elementary curriculum, 50 are teaching! 35 of 69 secondary school graduates are teaching, while 55 of the 104 business graduates are teaching, and 21 are engaged in business. Business placement to date is about 70 per cent. Viewed in the light of the over-all surveys made of over a thousand graduates for the ten years prior to 1940. which showed 77 per cent placement in teaching, and a five-year survey of over 500 graduates in the period between 1941 and 1945, which showed an 80 per cent placement, and a three-year survey of slightly less than 300 students made late in 1948, which showed an 83 per cent placement, it would seem that the very favorable placement record of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College in the past is being maintained. However, the figures quoted were based upon surveys made after much longer periods of time had lapsed, therefore, it is expected that three years from now, or five years from now, or ten years from now, the record of employment would grow and become increasingly favorable. o Three hundred thirty-four students were enrolled for the three-week summer school post session at the Bloomsburg State Teachers College, according to figures released by college authVeterans numbering 155, again accounted for nearly orities. half of the total enrollment. There were 179 non-veterans enrolled and about a hundred were occupying dormitory quarters on the campus.

The service included the dedication of memorial communion vessels presented by Mr. Emerson F. Davis, a nephew of Miss Powell. The printed program of the service contains the following biographical note: Martha Powell was born in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, October 10, 1863, the daughter of John D. Powell and Jane Davies Powell. Her parents were born in Wales. They came to the United States as children, and lived in Bloomsburg mdst of their lives, until their deaths at advanced ages. Miss Powell was one of six children who attained maturity, five of whom lived in Bloomsburg many years. Miss Powell attended the public schools in Bloomsburg and graduated from the Bloomsburg State Normal School (now Bloomsburg State Teachers College) in 1893. Early in her adult years she had ambitions to be a foreign missionary, but abandoned the idea. Prepared to teach, she nevertheless immeEmdiately after graduation entered upon a business career. ployed in a secretarial capacity by Mr. Hiester V. White, then and for many years a lawyer and business man in Bloomsburg, she continued in business association with Mr. White most of her life. In 1900 she became Secretary of The White Milling Co., a flour milling enterprise in Bloomsburg of which Mr. White was President, and retired in 1939, when the mill was destroyed Page Fourteen ! : 1 ' ALUMNI T H E QUARTERLY and the business discontinued. She was a successful the years when women less frequently than now engaged in such a career. Miss Powell’s interest in the First Presbyterian Church of Bloomsburg and its various organizations developed very clearly in her life. At a very early age she began attendance at Sunday School, and in 1893 she was received into the Church. Continuously thereafter, until her death, she was active in the Church and the work of its organizations. In these religious associations she was much like Mr. White, who was a lifelong member, officer and leader of the Church and many of its organizations. Miss Powell was a devoted teacher in the Sunday School as early as 1895 and continued as such until 1943. She was almost perfect in attendance at Sunday School for a period of fifty years, and by reason thereof received unusual recognition from the Sunday School in 1943, shortly before her death. She became Financial Secretary of the Church in 1897, and held that office until her death. For many years she was interested and active in the Young People’s Society of Christian Endeavor, the Columbia County Sabbath School Union, and the Mary Neal Auxiliary. Regular in attendance upon all Church services and organization meetings, she gave most of her free time to the furtherance of the worship and activities of the Church and its affiliated and sponsored organizations. Her pleasure was in Christian service, and her activity was terminated only by death on June 16, 1943, after a short illness. The Church never had a more devoted servant. She found her joy in the Lord’s work. The memorial to Miss Powell this day dedicated to the Church is a recognition that her supreme interest in the Church should not be considered as terminated, even though she is no longer with us. Among the many words of tribute printed in the program were the following: Martha Powell was a life-long member of the First Presbyterian Church in Bloomsburg. Her active participation in every church project or work could be counted upon in advance. If faithful effort and unfailing attendance to duty has its rewards in the hearts and memory of a long list of friends, the life and work of Martha Powell in this church wil remain as her most precious memorial. William B. Sutliff by fire business woman in From the time I was a little girl, I remember Miss Martha Powell as a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. No matter when the church was open, she was always there in her accustomed place. Whether it was Sabbath School, Christian Endeavor, Worship Service or MissionPage Fifteen THE QUARTERLY ALUMNI ary Meeting, one could always be sure “Miss Martha” would be there. No doubt she is the only member of the church who was an honorary member of both the Girl and Boy Scouts of our church troops. So for her steadfast faithfulness and tireless work for her church she was a powerful example for all of us who called her “friend.” Vera H. Housenick 1894 The Rev.

Native meals are planned around rice, mutton, oil and fruit. Turkey “plumbing” is still in the primitive form. Deep ditches are dug in each side of the street and water pumped in once a day. This is used for bathing or household needs. Housewives are allowed to wash clothes only once a week. Water is also pumped into homes into wells in the basement. As for drinking water, that is bought from push carts which travel the streets daily. The temperature of Turkey is approximately that of New York City, Miller says, for during the three years he was in that country, temperatures never went higher than 90 degrees and there were only two frosts. The country has much rainfall especially during the winter months. During his vacations, Miller visited France, Italy, England, Switzerland, Greece, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Iran. He left India traveling east on a Dutch freighter for the trip home in order to see that part of the world in a leisurely fashion.

Page Twenty-seven THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY Campus Notes HOMECOMING DAY Alumni and friends of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College returning for the Twenty-Second Annual Homecoming Day celebration Saturday, October 22, received a warm welcome. Plans had been completed to make this year’s Homecoming a “Happy Homecoming,’’ and students and faculty spared nothing to make the day’s program full of interesting things. President Harvey A. Andruss served as host for the gala occasion and welcomed home a large crowd of alumn. Since Homecoming is the high spot of the calendar year, the Board of Trustees, the faculty, and the student body made every effort to offer the visitors every opportunity to enjoy a memorable day at the “Friendly College.’’ The activities unofficially got under way Thursday morning, October 20, in the Centenniial Gymnasium when a pep rally was staged. The Maroon and Gold Band, under the direction of Charles H. Henrie, and the cheerleaders planned an unusually interesting series of pep features. Ben Burness, Havertown, served as master of ceremonies, Coach Bob Redman introduced the members of the varsity football squad, and Coach Harold Shelly spoke for the soccer team. Curtain raiser for the official Homecoming Day program was the annual Homecoming Day assembly in the Carver Auditorium on Saturday morning at which a group of students presented a talent program. Those taking part were Ben Burness, Bebe Reese, Lila Savage, Richard Wagner, Emory Rarig, Char- Edwards and Jack Wintersteen. A cafeteria luncheon was served alumni and visitors in the College dining room at 11:30 o’cock. Miss Della M. Thayer, Colles lege dietician, planned and executed colorful and unusual decorations for the dining room, which has recenty been redecorated. Of course, the annual Homecoming Day football game was the foca point of sports interest at two o’clock when the oncebeaten eleven of Coach Bob Redman tangled with the Shippensburg football team on Mt. Olympus. The Maroon and Gold gridders were seeking their fifth straight victory of the season at the expense of the Red Raiders who had yet to win their first game. Following the football game, a Get-Together was held in the Waller Hall Lounge and Recreation Room. Refreshments were served, and visitors had an opportunity to renew old acquaintances and relive memories of their college days. Climax of the day’s activities was the annual Homecoming Day dance in the Centennial Gymnasium. Dancing was enjoyed from nine o’clock until midnight to the music of Arnie Day and his orchestra, of Wilkes-Barre. Page Twenty-eight THE QUARTERLY ALUMNI CAMPUS IMPROVEMENTS In the year just past the Bloomsburg State Teachers College improved its plant and purchased equipment and machinery to the amount of $102,997. A major renovation of Noetling Hall to transform a sixty-year model school into a modern classroom building was one of the major contracts completed. The other major contract is in the process under the direction of the William F. Schimmel Company, of Nanticoke. This involves the replacement of the well-known “long porch” by a new brick and tile structure, repairs to the roofs and rain gutters on Waller and North Halls and repairs to the President’s residence. This contract, let in May, 1949, represents an expenditure of approximately $35,000. Library equipment, books, microscopes, classroom equipment, furnture and fixtures have been purchased to the amount of $17,000. This amount does not include war surplus materials assigned to the College or books and equipment distributed from the area college centers. At no time in the last decade has such progress been made in plant and equipment. It has only been equalled by the three war years of 1943, 1944 and 1945, when over $100,000 were expended on the plant. While the Board of Trustees has authorized plans to make other important changes in the form of renovation, repairs and improvements during the college year of 1949-50, a contract for the replacement of existing sidewalks and curbs was awarded to Harry W. Sterner on Wednesday, July 27, for the sum of $3,675. This is the first step in a series of small projects which when completed will “lift the face” of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College plant. o — Recent class elections at the Bloomsburg State Teachers College have named two Shamokin young men as class presidents. Donald Butcofsky was chosen president of the senior class, and Thomas Anthony was chosen sophomore class presiMr. Butcofsky fills a vacancy that has existed since the dent. spring semester when an unusual development in the regular senior class election forced College officials to declare the office in the 1949-50 term. Mr. Anthony was elected to fill the vacancy created by the withdrawal of Richard Hollis, Columbia, who was elected head of the sophomore class last spring. The new president of the senior class has been very active At the present in college publications for the past three years. time he is serving as a member of the editorial board of the Maroon and Gold. He is also associate editor of the 1950 Obiter. He is also an outstanding student, having been on every Dean’s vacant until a special election could be held early Page Twenty-nine THE QUARTERLY ALUMNI Honor List since entering Bloomsburg. Mr. Anthony, also an honor student, is active in dramatics, having played the lead role in “The Late George Appley” presented last spring by the Bloomsburg Players. He is also one of the student managers of the Bloomsburg Huskies football team. o Mr. Richard Chase, eminent folklorist, author, and editor entertained about 125 children of the third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades of the Benjamin Franklin School in the demonstration room recently. These grades are taught by Miss Marcella Stickler, Mrs. Anna Scott, Mr. Harry Gasser and Miss Edna J. Barnes. Mr. Chase used stories, songs, musical instruments (the harmonica and obsolete recorder) riddles, and games to transmit traditional American folklore. The program, done in the distinctive Richard Chase Style, greatly amused the pupil audience. They joined with him in repetitive choruses in the folk songs and games, and in the story of “Jack and the Robbers,’’ an edited folktale in Mr. Chase’s book, “The Jack Tales.’’ Other books written by him are “The Grandfather Tales” and “Hullabaloo,” a book of folk games. Mr. Chase explained that he collects his folk material by listening to stories far into the night in the mountainous regions of Virginia. During his two-day stay on the campus, Mr. Chase taught a number of college classes the traditional American folk dances and songs. He was also guest speaker during an all-college , assembly program. o Dr. Ted J. Satterfield, a member of the faculty of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College, received the 1948-49 Phi Deta Kappa award for educational research at Temple University Thursday, October 6. The award, consisting of a gold medal and a certificate, is given annually by the national honorary education fraternity to the graduate student who completes the finest piece of educational research that year. Dr. Satterfield recently completed a research problem in tort liability in public schools. The work, legal in nature, covers the situation as it exists today in the whole of the United States, the District of Columbia, and the territories of Alaska and Hawaii. The entire study is based on constitutional and statuatory provisions and judicial decisions. Phi Delta Kappa, a nation wide organization for graduate students, sponsors educational research. It has Pennsylvania chapters at University of Pennsylvania, Penn State, University of Pittsburgh and Temple University. Page Thirty THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY An unusual exhibit of children’s books was held at the Bloomsburg State Teachers College on Thursday and Friday, October 20 and 21. This exhibit was staged in the Navy Hall Auditorium under the direction of Mrs. Ruth Tooze, children’s book consultant and director of The Children’s Bookshelf, Michigan City, Indiana. Mrs. Tooze displayed a carefully selected collection of about 800 children’s books, ranging from pre-school through junior high. The books were chosen by Mrs. Tooze in consultation with the children’s editors who produce the books, and the teachers, parents and children who use the boks. No text books were included. The books came from approximately forty publishers of children’s books and represented the best authors who are writing for children at the present time. Classes from both the Benjamin Franklin and the Bloomsburg schools visited the Book Exhibit during the two days, and Mrs. Tooze held story telling periods for the groups. o The Bloomsburg State Teachers College is again offering extension courses to teachers-in-service in its service area. Continuing a successful program of in-service education launched several years ago, the local college is this year maintaining extension centers in Wilkes-Barre and Hazleton. An elementary workshop program has attracted considerable attention at the Hazleton center held in the Green Street School where courses in Physical Science I and II and the Curriculum in Elementary Science are now being offered. The workshop is under the direction of George A. Shanno, vice principal of Hazleton Senior High School. Dr. Ernest H. Englehardt, director, Secondary Education, said that a course may be offered in Mental Hygiene if the enrollment justifies the offering. In Wilkes-Barre, a social studies workshop is being offered every Tuesday evening at 4:30 o’clock in the James M. Coughlin Senior High School. Courses in United States History and the History of Pennsylvania feature the workshop program. The instructor, Elfred Jones, principal of the Dodson Elementary School. o The Annual Elementary Education Conference was held at the State Teachers College, Bloomsburg, Saturday, December 3, 1949. The theme “The School is For the Children” was uppermost the thoughts of teachers throughout the day. At 9:30 o’clock members of the teaching staff of the Benjamin Franklin laboratory school taught lessons directly related to the theme. They represented wide areas of the new Pennsylvania Elementary Course of Study. This included such in Page Thirty-one THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY areas as Language Arts, Social Living, Health and Classroom Living. There was a brief period for discussion of these lessons and materials following the teaching period. At 11 o’clock in Carver Hall Auditorium Mrs. Gertrude Speed Stokes, Temple University, addressed the teacners on the subject of the conference theme, “The School is for the Children.” Following the address those in attendance at the conference were invited to Waller Hall Dining Room for luncheon. There was an informal social time, during which the group was entertained with special musical selections, and a brief greeting from Dr. Harvey A. Andruss, president of the State Teachers College. o Public school teachers of Northeastern Pennsylvania were told always to present themselves in their “best professional light” if they want their gains of the past few years “to be consolidated and secure.” Dr. Thomas P. North, dean of instruction, Bloomsburg State Teachers College, gave this advice to more than one hundred teachers and supervisors from eleven counties who attended the Northeastern Pennsylvania teacher training session of the Pennsylvania State Education Association held in October in West Scranton High Schol. Dr. North, who is chairman of the PSEA commission on teacher education and professional standards, explained the part Pennsylvania is playing in the improvement of teachers on a state and country-wide basis. He also pointed out the strides being made by his commission to improve standards of in-service and pre-service leaders. Dr. Harvey A. Andruss, President, Bloomsburg State Teachers College, attended the sessions and participated in a group conference concerned with the problem of “Responsibilities of the Teaching Profession in Adequately Supplying Competent Candidates.” o Dr. Thomas P. North represented the Commission on Teacher Education and Professional Standards at the Mid-Western Convention District meeting of the Pennsylvania State EdDean ucation Association at New Castle Friday, October 7. North, who is the chairman of the state-wide commission, served as consultant to the group discussing the problem of raising the standards for entrance into the teaching profession. o Enrollment at the Bloomsburg State Teachers College now stands at 829 as of September 16, according to an announcement made by College officials. Although this figure is slightly below last year’s total, the number of teach-education students is higher than in 1948 because the local college this year did not Page Thirty-two THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY accept freshmen liberal arts students assigned to Penn State. Men out-number women in the registration figures by a ratio of more than two to one. There are 560 men who have completed their registration requirements, while 269 women are now enrolled. Included in the present enrollment figures are 302 veterans of World War II but the G.I.’s are outnumbered by the non-veteran students. Dormitory residents total 376, and for the first time there are more men than women residing in the College dormitories. Figures show that there are 201 men housed in the Waller Hall annex and North Hall, while 175 women are living in Waller Hall. o Adele Neff, personable young dramatist, appeared at the Bloomsburg State Teachers College in the first assembly program of the new college year, Thursday morning, September 22.

Page Thirty-three THE QUARTERLY ALUMNI The Bloomsburg Players acted as hosts to delegates from twenty-three colleges in Eastern Pennsylvania when they met on the campus Saturday and Sunday, October 15 and 16. This was the second annual meeting of the Eastern Pennsylvania College Theatre and Radio Conference. The E.P.C.T.R.C. proposes to reawaken public love of the theatre and thereby fulfill the cultural needs of our communities; to provide means of experimentation in the theatre; and to foster the exchange of ideas, consequently aiding members in all possible ways. Registration began at 10 o’clock, followed by a short business meeting in the morning. The main purpose of this conference was to adopt the constitution which was drawn up by the former chairman, Marvin Walters, of Wilkes College. Another highlight of the conference was a social gathering scheduled for late Saturday afternoon or evening, depending on the length of the business meeting. The final business meeting was held on Sunday morning. Temporary chairman of the conference was Robert Sickinger, Philadelphia. Mr. Sickinger also served as a delegate of the western district in the Eastern Region, on the planning committee which met at Bloomsburg earlier this fall. The planning committee studied the proposed constitution, and made some changes before presenting it to the annual conference.
