Dance Orchestra Makes Footli ghts The Maroon and Gold Dance Orchestra, under the direction of "Tiny " Bill Pegg put in a praise-worthy performance before the student body this morning. The orchestra has been enlarged since the last appearance of the pep dance; the additions give them top rating as the College Dance Orchestra. The boys practice regularly every Wednesday afternoon at four and occasionally Tuesday and Thursday evenings. The vocal department was well controlled by lovely Reba Henrie assisted by the three "Squires" of the brass section Bill Booth, Paul Klinger, and Joe "Red" Madl. Ray Perry did a good job pounding the skins while "Fritz" Worman tickled the ivory. Sam Cohen, oomph man, took charge of the bass horn. At the last mooting of the Science Club , it was decided that the club put on a chap el pro gram sometime in the second semester. No definite date has been set. The club discussed several scientific topics. Clayton Patterson told the club about the "Helicopter ", a new type of aircraft built on the same principlo as an autoglro. There is no doflnlto pro gram for the future program.

A. A. course have completed the most important stage of their flying career —solo. The ten students having completed the required eight hours of instruction set by the Civil Aeronautics Authority, have made their first flight without an instructor. They explained soloing as a most wonderful sensation. Were they frightened ? Well, a litt le, but they were entirely too busy to have much fear of the six hundred feet between them and the earth. They had a strange feeling of being very much alone and insignificant without the usual broad shoulders of Sam Bigony and Bobby Guss, flight instructors, in front of them. Then , too, the absence of the instructor's weight made the plane act as if it were at the mercy of the winds and as though the sky was the limit.

WlUon COOPERATI ON In any successful and progressive town, city, school , or state there is one element that must prevail, and that is cooperation. When a project is started there are certain people appointed to serve as leaders and supervisors. These same leaders, for that is their main function , have assigned to them a committee of various individuals to carry out certain specific duties. We "Will ta ke for granted that these leaders Jcnow th eir jobs, and are capable of efficient handling of them. They assign to their committee definite work to do at a definite time. If this is an unpai d public welfare program , the execution of the plan is left to the committee. The success of the program depends upon the interest, reliability, and, ii you wish, loyalty of the individuals on the committees. The desire of each person to do his share to the best of his ability. Since we are members of an educational institution I will confine this discussion to our college. To make a still more definite case I will endeavor to interpret or analyze cooperation in regard to our annual Homecoming celebration. The committees for this day are under the direction of faculty members who have proved their determination to make this day a success. The bulk of the committees are made up of members of the freshman class. In fact all freshmen are assigned to committees. This is onl y natural as the freshmen are new to the school, and are in need of experience in working collectively for a common cause. This is not with the idea that the frosh should "do the dirty work". On the contrary, this is not dirty work, but the main factor in making this day the biggest day of the school year. Every freshman shoulcf feel proud in working to make it such. Yes, every student should be proud to work in behalf of the school, of which he is a part. As freshmen the students at B. S. T. C, make impressions. First impressions are hard to erase from the minds of those with whom they will associate for four years. Their first opportunity to really show their willingness to cooperate is the Homecoming preparation. They are given very definite assi gnments to carry out at a certain time and place, Freshmen are not asked to do this decorating, etc., on their own initiative, but the work is planned for them. All they do is to fulfill or execute the p Jan. This is not asking much—just the desire to help. It will be those students who show that they may be depended on to perform a duty or obligation, no matter how trivial, who will be called on to act as leaders, to make plans, and to take part in responsible activities that will come later in college life. This is your school freshmen , cooperation will make you proud of B. S. T. C. By Dave Nelson | . . ffioettp Corner . .

In other words, in order for the team to be successful, every player must work together for the common good of the team. Each player consequently tends to develop a spirit of cooperation, initiative, and loyalty. These qualities in turn are transferrable over to both the student's social and political life. Initiative is very, very important for any student*to cultivate because, since his life is not a charted course, he must learn to adapt himself to any situation and know how to act in a crisis. The second activity I might cite is some musical activity. The Maroon and Gold Band is an excellent opportunity for the student possessing musical ability. Of course, this does not mean the 'student must be a virtuoso. Perhaps the student that is somewhat of a novice may greatly improve himself by the constant practice and association with the other band members. After a band member has played for four years, he should possess sufficient musical knowledge to direct a high school band. Many teachers that have been chosen for teaching positions did not have the slightest idea that they were" going to direct a band and some have even been turned down because they were unable to direct a band. Consequently the student can see the value of spending his time in this activity. Dear Editor : lhat stupendous Homecoming Day enjoyed by Bloomsburg featured various activities, including the football game and the dance . No dou bt a marvelous time was had by all until the dance. At the dance every one fell into two groups, one happy, the other a trifle sad and envious—I' m not referring to the music because that was smooth. On the floor—somewhat crowded— swayed the happy couples to the vibrant strains of our Alma Mater orchestra. Sitting on the bleachers were male and female representatives of the bald-headed row—of which I am an unwilling member. The more the couples swayed the more the baldheaded row prayed. Their prayer remained unanswered and they did not dance. Perhaps it was because they did not know how. I prayed then and I am praying now. Please, why doesn't some kind hearted soul start a dancing class? Dancing is a social must; we who haven't learned are tardy but not absent. There should be a class to fit the needs of both the dorm and day students. If you think about this and react favorably, contact your paper, ' your f riends , and the faculty, and really do something for the bald headed row ! G. W.

'?M ADAME DORTHEA" By Sigrid Undset "Madame Dorthea" is Sigrid Undset's latest novel to be published in the United States. Because of her patriotic work during the time of the recent Nazi invasion , Sigrid Undsot was driven from her native home, Lillehammer, Norway. Although "Madame Dorthea " was written in Sweden, the spirit and the life of the Norwegian people of the eighteenth century is vividly portrayed. The story opens with the disappearance of Madame Dorthea 's eldest sons, Claus and Vllhelm, and their scatterbrained tutor, Herr Dobbelsteen. Vilholm finally brings the party to his grandmother Elizabeth , who takes care of them and sends word of their safety to Dorthea, Thestrup, Dorth ea's husband, sets out to search for the boys and disappears, never t o bo found. The search for him is the axis about which the story revolves.

Conner Leads Soccer Men In 5-0 Win Over Mighty Lock Haven Team Paced by "Tuffy" Conner the B. S. T. C. Booters swamped the mighty Bald Eagled 5-0. On a field that was wet and muddy the Bloom team pushed their winning streak to three in a row. First Half Deadlock For the entire thirty-six minutes of the first half the two teams battled in what looked to be a fight to the finish . The Lock Haven boys seemed to be doing most of the offensive work in the first quarter. Time and again they pushed deep into Bloom territory only to be denied scoring by the steller work of Wagner, Collie, and Deaner, the Huskies last line of defense. Numerous penalties on the Bald Eagles, for illegal use of the hands, also aided the local boys. The second quarter started with the Huskies on the offensive. The backs fed the ball to the line who sniped at the goal in a barrage of shots in a futile effort to score. Huskies "Mush" On the opening play Yeany "stole" the ball from an Eagle lineman, passed to Kostenbauder, who centered to Slussifr, who slammed it through for the first score of the day. The next play gave Bloom a penalty kick, and Slusser booted in the second score. From this point on B.S.T.C. had everything their own way. Kostenbauder brought a cheer from the stands with a spectacular dribble through the Lock Haven defense and kicked the goal unassisted. Not to be outdone Conner booted one through that carried the opponent goalie with it. Here the third quarter ended and the teams changed fields. Kostenbauder and Yeany performed another "second story" job in the opening minutes of the fourth frame and scored number five for the Maroon and Gold. Coach Wisher started sending in replacements at this point. The subs did nice work in keeping their goal uncrossed, and the breaks alone kept th em from scoring.

The field is to be completely re-modeled with a new lighting system to be a predominate feature. The college according to the proposed set-up may be able to use the field for several night games. Such a movement will tend to put this institution on the level with similar colleges and universities throughout the country who play under the lamps. Bloomsburg is without a doubt a football-minded school but the game must be given a chance to prosper. Movements like this should be encouraged not only by the students but by the school officials as well. WE HAVE SOMETHING HERE • The enthusiasm tendered the football squad on their recent rout of Shippensburg is evidence of the spirit that dwells within these buildings. Pep-rallys are essential in moulding a spirit and moral among the students and players. We cannot allow this fire to die out. The team has but one more game on its schedule and that being with the mighty Stroudsburg combination this Saturday. We should be represented by several hundred ardent supporters in the forthcoming joust. Stroudsburg has a fine team but so does Bloomsburg. With proper support from the students, the Huskies may win this game. Let our slogan be—"On to Stroudsburg". GET YOUR GUN This is not a draft quotation but a reminder that the hunting season has already gotten underway. Many of our enterprising students have shouldered their shot-guns and are tramping the woods in quest of wild life. Several have returned the proud-possessor of some small game, but then there are still others who have nary a one. Perhaps you successful hunters wouldn't mind reporting your prizes to your sports staff. Certainly your fellow-students would be pleased to know just what luck you found while you were a 'totin your shooting-iron. STIFF OPPOSITION -• When reading the list of untied, unbeaten football teams in the country it leaves little doubt as to the stiff opposition that the Huskies have had to face all year. Three state teachers colleges are in this class and all three are .< on this year's schedule. Indiana, Millersville and East Stroudsburg boast these enviable records. Indiana beat the Huskies 33-0 while Millersville won out 13-0, and Stroudsburg is on the books for this weekend. Of these teams, probably Stroudsburg has the stronger club and the potential conference champion. In Tommy Kearns, they have a quarter-back that ranks fifth in the East in scoring. Kearns has notched nine touchdowns and registered a total of 56 points.

Ku tztown is being taken over on Saturday by a group of day girls who plan to hold an old time reunion on the spot with sonic former Bloomsburg girls . Those' participating in this event are Elda and Reba Henrie, Marie Parsell , Izzie Olah, June Hoagland and Dottie Savage. A few weeks ago one of our day girls strayed from the fold and married a baseball hero,, formerly a Bloomsburg student. The principals: Dot Lynch and Danny Litwhiler. After bestowing our collective approval and blessing, we wish the best of everything for both of them. The day men , for once, are following an excellent example and are purchasing a new radio. Of course, we expect to receive due credit from the day men for giving them the idea. Sister Downing staggered into the day room the other morning with a package almost as large as herself. Upon inspection it was found to contain more apples for us to turn loose on. Thank you , Sister. The Bundles for Britain booth in Miss Ransom's office is slowly being filled , but contributions are still welcome. The longer the draft numbers are called , the longer grow some of the faces of the girls.' Woe is us—a year seems like a long time. Another sweet song from the day room is the Slopey-Warman duet. Keep your ears open, all you music lovers. 'Til next time. . .' . Dottie , The eyes and ears of the day room. WALLER HALL NEWS Homecoming week-end was a very importan t one for Waller Hall girls.

Curtain Call Friday (Continued from Page 1) The plot of this year's production concerns the ups and downs of a young engineer, a member of the 400 cla ss , whose chief joy is building bridges, and whose chief hate centers on women. His sister, who is played by Virginia Hughes, has only one thought in mind , and that is having a good time. A younger brother , Willi e by name, imagines himself a second Fred Astairo, and drives his mother, Betsy Alden , nearly to distraction. Young William is played by Donald Jenkins. Ruling over this rather unusual family with an iron hand is Ralph McCracken, who would rather fish than eat . Joe Madl , a friend of t he f a m ily , keeps everybody on t he run , and that includes Helen Johnson, who seems to think a lot of Joe, There has to bo a clinging vine type in every show, and Ruth Hope certainl y does a good job of getting in everyone's hair, Ruth Balrd supplies the romance in the show by falling in love with bridge building, womanhating Bill Hagenbuch.

Miuch Ado About Nothing By Larry Myers How time flies. . . The nine weeks period is practically over and it scarcely seems possible that we've been here that long (except to those unfortunate people who got the pretty white slips the profs hand out). Question : Could Walter Mohr and Santa Claus fit in the same phone booth ? No? Wrong. They could because there ain 't no Sant a Clau s!! Jack Schlauch has shown us some work he 's done over the summer. It' s a reflecting telescope with a fourinch mirror which he ground by hand. It's q uite an ingenious affair and from his place on, as Mr. Keller would say, Snob Hill, it's possible to read the lettering on the buildings down at the airport. His next will have a six-inch mirror. The campaign speeches in chapel were honeys. A certain group whose names obviously must not be mentioned here made many plans to frustrate the Democrats. One bright chap, son of an auto-dealer, suggested itching powder down Lavelle's back j ust before his speech. Another thought it would be a good idea to kidnap him. Still a third wanted to roll metal wastebaskets down the fire tower steps. Finally the spirit of fair play prevailed and it was decided that the Republican ticket and platform could stand on its own strength. Note for the lonely hearts—The ratio of girls to fellows at Kutztown is two to one. Look into that, Meyers. The team didn't do so well with the tricky Kutztown team and we've just found out the reason why. Nobody offered to donate a raincoat to the British. Will somebody please do something about that before the East Stroudsburg game ? We know the boys are in there fighting every minute but something extra helps a lot. Watch later issues for a few startling football facts. We heard this about Mr. Fisher. It seems that he bought a new car sometime ago. The garage man brought it up in front of the house and left it there. Mr. Fisher came home that day and saw it there and didn't say anything about it. He came home the next day and it was still there and he still said nothing. The third day he came home and looking out the window after supper, he saw it hadn't moved so he went over to the phone and called up the police to ask whose car it was!! And still another "anecdote". Danny Brennan was asked one day what brand of cigarettes he smoked. He replied , "I don 't know, I' m too polite to ask."!!! B-Club Will Stage Membership Driv e Club Very Active in Social Affairs; Stage Hikes And Dances The B Club, an athletic organization for girls, is putting on a membership drive.
