"Firs t Nigh t ers " filled the college
auditorium Thursday evening, December 14, to see "Bachelor Born,"
one of the finest campus productions

with the prankish school boys.

To the Editor:
At the beginning of the present
school yea r, there was a rumor circulating about the campus concerning the formation of a dance band
to play at social functions and to play
for a series of Saturday night dances.
These dances were to be open only to
the student body, w ho wou ld have t o
pay a nominal charge to defray the
expenses of the dance.
Thus far , the band has been organized. They have played at a few
social functions. However, the Saturday * nigh t dance idea has died a
peacef ul and quiet death.
Lately there have been a few vague
mutterings about doing something
weekends. What shall we do?
At the beginning of the year the
Saturday night dance idea seemed a
very good one. Has it changed simply
because it has been shelved and forgotten for a while? Or have we
reached the point where we would
j ust as soon have things as they are?
That is for you to decide.

The second period proved a family

new; tra m into nclion. Frank and
Tony Valente did most of the Huskies ' scoring while their older brother , Ernie , captain of the 1934 Bloomsburg team , ran wild to bolster the
Alumni score.
In the third period the Alumni deiense tightened and again they pulled out in fron t.
Bill Kerchusky netted a side siiot
but Giermak tallied with two foul
goals and Del Withka countered with
a long shot from the middle of the
floor. Joe Wesley put the Huskies
ahead with a long shot and Bill Kerchusky made two more free throws.
Sterling Banta and Andy Giermak,
teammates on the powerful 1939
Husky team, both netted long shots
and Giermak followed up with a foul
shot. "Sli m" Herr converted two
fouls and Giermak duplicated the
feat. Don Blackburn, of the 1937
team, got loose under the basket and
the Husky cause didn't look too
bright as the Alumni led 33-30 going
into the final period.
The Huskies, determined not to be
downed by the best Alumni team in
many years, opened up with a fast
passing attack which was too much
for the grads to cope with. Kerchusky, Herr, and Walinchus scored
at will and with two minutes to play
the Huskies held a 49 to 39 lead.
Theron Bardo, fast moving frosh
from Berwick, sank a side shot and
Bill Kerchusky netted one in close.
Ernie Valente tallied from the side
for the visitors but Bill Kerchusky
registered two more goals under the
bucket as the game ended with the
score 57 to 41.
Kerchusky was the high scorer of
the evening with 22 points and
"Slim" Herr netted 15. For the
Alumni , Andy Giermak was high

BIG GAME HUNTERS
ANNIHILATE BUCKS

College nimrods met with success
during the big game season j ust ended. Upperclassmen fa red better than
either the freshmen or the faculty.
Do n R ishe , a junior , bagged an eightpoint buck while hunting in Center
County with a group of friends. Another large buck made the mistake of
running in front of Byron Shiner
who promptly ended his worries
about a cold winter. Shiner was accompanied by Kenneth Hippensteel
and Ted Pavsell. Jim McHenry,
sophomore from Benton , did his bi t
to protect winter wheat by shooting
a one-hundred thirty-five pound
deer. Ted Parsell took his life in his
own hands nnd went into the same
woods with "Sharpshooter Reams."

The releasing of the Associated
Press All-Pennsylvania College football team necessitates a few more
comments on 1939 gridiron episodes.
The number one candidate for
honors in the "ha ts-off" department
is Bill Kerchusky, who won his letter
as a .right end this fall on the Husky
eleven.
Bill came to Bloomsburg as a baseball and basketball aspirant but
never gave football any serious consideration as he had never received
an opportunity to play the sport in
high school. This year, his third in
college , he decided to try his luck in
a bodily contact sport.
When the going became tough and
those who couldn't take the bumps
checked in their moleskins, Kerchusky made his presence on the squad
felt. He was slow in starting, being
greatly handicapped by lack of experience but he learned fast. Bill got
his first starting assignment against
Lock Haven and was on the receiving
end of four passes that afternoon.
Now modest Bill has been selected
by the Associated Press as an honorable mention end on the All-Pennsylvania College team. -We hope this
will prove an inspiration and not a
detriment to Bill's athletic career.

ed the detective. "Well, I think that
our witnesses are waiting for us."
The witnesses and the detective
walked down the corridor to the elevator. Miss Holiday and Mr. Carefay straggled behind the others. She
was whispering to him; and his face
flushed a deep red.
The detective turned while he wps
waiting for the elevator and watched
them conversing. "Love—oh , well ,"
he snickered.
He crowded into the car with the
others. The car descended swif tly.
Mr. Carefay was jammed between
the detective and Mr. Fleming. Miss
Holiday stood with her back to them
directly in fron t of the elevator door.
To the side was Mr. Raritan looking
strangely at Mr. Carefay whose face
was flushed with anger.
"Well, Mr . Detective, I think the
jig is about up. The solution to this
murder isn't as unsolvable as you
think. There is one person here that
did this crime and I think that you
are going to discover the criminal's
identity very soon."
Mr. Carefay 's face was etched with
wrinkles, and his mouth was working
strangely. Raritan shrank further
into the corner as if to get away from
Carefay.
"You 'll pay ," muttered Carefay
hoarsely.
The detective put his hand upon
the shoulders of Mr. Carefay and
said , "No w, now, that is all , old man.
You are worked up."
The elevator stopped at the ground
floo r, and all of them moved swiftly
away. The detective called a cab for
Miss Holiday, and soon he was alone.
He peered up on down the deserted
block, and then , turning up his collar , strolled briskly away.
The next morning the District Attorney was talking over the telephone to the detective.
"Yes , yes, what's that you say? The
way I figure this murder is this—
since the print was planted the crime
was an inside job. By the way, how
about checking on Carefay 's alib i?

The detective on the other end of

the booth. He went directly to Cnldw ell's house, and , pulling his pass key
from his pocket, let himself in the
front door. The servants and the secretary had moved to a nearby hotej
until litigation was cleared up—the
understanding being that all of them

window.
