Accounts of a fun packed evening may be found in countless diaries and books of memories for all had such an enjoyable time. General Chairmen of the highly successful event were Ella Schargo and Betsy. Assisting them were various committees made up of the day and dorm girls—Betty Hagenbuch, Wanda Kehler, Elva Wagner , Ruth Sluman, Mart ha Wrigh t, Evelyn Doney, Nan Sidari, Dorothy Johnson, Betty Bierm an , Betty Lebengood, Mary Trump, Margaret Dean , Jean A ckerm an , Louise Madl , Mary Schroeder and Pauline Garey . Faculty and Trustee women and wives of the Navy men were invited. Preceeding the party, officers of the Day and Dormitory organizations held a dinner at which past presidents were guests of honor. Grand March The Party opened with a grand march and the jud ging of costumes by alumnae jud ges, Mrs. Betty Jones Harris, Marie Parsell, Mary Jane Sharp less, and Idaj ane Shipe. Prizes were awarded to the following: Prettiest girl, Lois Bryner; best looking couple, Jean Schrader and Louise Madl; funniest couple, Athamantia Comuntzis and Jacqueline Shaffer; most original couple, Ann Shortess and Betty Hagenbuch . Groups received prizes also: funniest group, a horse and attendants, Hazel O'Brien , Doro t hy Johnson, Kathryn Hess and Martha Wright. The best group was a family composed of mother, Jean Ackerman, father, Edna Snyder and their nine children ranging from the baby, Florence Faust to a college "lad ," Josephina Valladeres. The other children were Laura Schoener, Lillian Baer, Joanne Fice, Ruth Ebright , Ruth Hope, Joyce Hay and Ann Sabol. The prize for the most original group went to a First Aid outfit—doctor , nurse and disabled patients—Anita Behler, Shirley Starook, Mildred Mummy and Margaret Latsha. Games and contests followed the awarding of prizes. A lively peanut scramble gave onlookers reason to believe that college girls are not too far removed from their teeter-totter days. At this point in the program, Louise Mndl , president of Day Women Association and Ruth Ebright, president oi' the Waller Hall Association, introduced members of their respective official boards, who, in turn , introduced their successors and presented each of them with a corsage. Refreshments Moat welcome refreshments were served and the remainder of the evening was given to dancing. On all hands, handsome "gentlemen " and their graceful ladies, tripped the light fantastic, And so ended the party that brought to the Day and Dorm girls the best fun of the yenr.

M. next Thursday night the Dramatic Club will open its curtains on "Letters to Lucerne," a three-act play which has proved so popular this season with both college and university amateur groups. The authors, Fritz Rotter and Allen Vincent, have managed to bring this clever, amusing, and sometimes serious play to a happy conclusion. The play , which deals with the problems of girls in an American school at Lucerne, Switzerland, portrays the unusual situations that arose in the late summer of 1939. The cast consists of Betty Bierman, Sara Jean Eastman, Elsie Flail, Harv ey Huber, Betty Katerman, Jean Kuster, Lucille Martino, Jean Maschal , Salvatore Mazzeo, Marilyn Sailer , Ann Shortess and Charles Taylor. The director is Alice Johnston; stage manager, Harvey Huber; business manager, Betsy Smith. The publicity committee consists of Jean Ackerman, Anita Behler, Meda Colvello, Margaret Dean, Eileen Falvey, Jeanne Keller, June Keller and Mary Louise Scott. The stage set committee includes Donald Dorsey, Harvey Huber , Bern ard Kan e, Salvatore Mazzeo, Michael Remetz, Reginald Remley and Charles Taylor. T. C. WOMEN'S CHORUS PRESENTS SPRING CONCERT AT CHAPEL MAY 3 Music Week at the college was appropriately opened Monday, May 3, when the Women's Chorus of eighty voices presented an assembly program. Miss Harriet M. Moore is the director of the Chorus, and Louise Adams is the accompanist. Soloists on the program were Althea Parsell , Marie Johnson and M. Louise Madl. Of special interest was the Chorus ' presentation of the cantata , "The Lady of Shalott," based on a poem by Tennyson with , the musical setting by Beridall . The complete program was as follows: "The Time for Making Songs Has Come," Rogers—Althea Parsell. "La Spangola " (Th e Spanish Dancer ) —Hilton-Di Chiara. "Bonnie Doon"—Miller. "The Bells of Youth ," Speaks—Women's Chorus . "Passing By "—Purcell. "The Swallow," Cowen—Marie Johnson, Mrs. Frank Weller , Accompanist. "The Lady of Shalott ," Bendall—Women 's Chorus, M. Louise Mndl , Soloist. , cently received here, the State Department of Education has approved the establishment of an educational program in Pennsylvania State Teachers Colleges for High School instructors in the field of. Aeronautics. Bloomsburg State Teachers College was the first to set up the course. Applications are also pending from colleges at Lock Haven, Clarion, Edinboro, California and Indiana. This program was developed by the Board of Presidents of State Teachers Colleges so as to provide competent teachers in high schools, thus making available courses in aeronautics in such institutions. Aeronautic courses for high school teachers, however, will be made available only in those Teachers Colleges where the facilities are adequate to carry on this program. This is another effort on the part of the colleges to meet one of the many additional demands being made for teachers who are qualified to teach certain fundamental principles that must be known by fliers and all those entering this field . In accordance with this program the following subj ects will be offered : aviation mathematics, meteorology, climatology, aerial navigation, aircraft communication and regulation, theory of flight, aircraf t engines, and history and identification of aircraft. The colleges offering this program must be prepared to offer approximately a year 's work in specialization in ground school courses in aeronautics. A landing field and planes must also be available within a short distance of the college so as to permit occasional related activities. INITIATION CEREMONY AND PARTY HIGHLIGHTS OF APRIL POP MEETING On Thursday evening, April 29, the members of the business education fraternity, Pi Omega Pi, held their regular monthly meeting.

NEW YORK , HERE WE COME , OR IMPRESSION OF THE "BIG TOWN" With Miss Maupin's forceful words ringing in our ears, "We're on the ba ttle-line of ignorance ," Slug and I set out to explore New York at War during our Easter vacation and to combat some of that ignorance. And the things we learned—Well! First , if you think you 've seen som e handso me men , girls , just hide .yourself in a corner of Grand Central Station and swoon as the gorgeous soldiers and sailors pass by. There 's any thing you want, Army, Navy, Australian fliers , French Marines, Dutch sailors, Canadian inf antry men, and an endless list of unidentical but very intriguing looking service men. Slug and I ventured into that huge place just to observe some of the drama and ended up holding each other back from joining in the affectionate farewells. Along the women 's fashion hue, we couldn 't help but notice that the Navy blue of the WAVES and SPARS and the khaki of the WAACS and Marines completely outshone all the bright Easter finery that walked up and down Fiftli Avenue. As we expected, Lady Liberty still looks mighty fine out there in the middle of the harbor surrounded by rusty boats bristling with guns. Being very intellectually minded and incidentally, rather low on funds, we took in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the City Zoo. Even with most of its valuables removed for safety , we still found plenty to see and much new to assimilate into our craniums. One fascinating exhibit was a glass"ed-in case containing an Egyptian mummy curled up in a "contracted" position wi th part of its bones showing through the torn wrappings. What was left of the bones looked like spun candy. After our visit to the zoo, we sat down in Central Park and watched the children as they came out of the zoo clinching a bag of peanuts in one hand and a balloon in the other. We overheard one bow-legged chubby little boy ask his mother where the animals were going and when she replied tha t they were going to bed he said , with a most puzzled look on his face, "But Mummy aren't they going to have tea first? " Imagine, tea! Another piece of valuable information we want to pass on is that when in New York relax in the subway just as the rest of the people do instead of straining every muscle in your body trying to read the fast disappearing white-tiled signs naming the stops. It's much simplier j ust to wait for the last stop and then get off. Of course, maybe you wouldn 't be at the place you wanted to be, but , at least you 'll have a much less complicated trip. That way you won 't get off in the heart of Harlem and have a policeman tell you to get out of that section if you value your life. But things like that make life more interesting. With food as expensive as it is, may I add that malted milk shakes supply an unbelievable amount of nourishment and fortitude to carry on. And they still only cost ten cents. After finally coming to an agreement with the Greyhound lines about letting us have a seat, the two of us are back on campus with enlightened souls ready for our next encounter with the battle line of ignorance.

Plans are underway, with the approval of College Council and the Administration , to purchase translucen t shades and colorful drapes. Sheet music and games will, also be purchased for the use of the students in the Social rooms. The committee plans to convert one corner of the room into a reading nook.

Lund, who believes too many college Freshmen are homesick and too many high school students tell the teachers "to go to hell. " A professor of psychology at Temple University , Dr. Lund is looking to the 18-10-year-old draft to show us these soft spots. "Education for war should be tough ," he said. "How can we expect to have discipline in the field if these young men can't stand disciplinary action in college?" "Pupils must be taught to obey flrst. Then there should be a hardening of the curriculum so that the pupil is forced to develop adequate work habits," BLOOMSBURG SUMMER SESSIONS Summer Sessions , High School Graduates Eligible For An Ideal Place Begin June 7, 1943 For Summe r Stud y Entrance Into Any Summer Session The Town of Bloomsburg. Bloomsburg is an attractive town of the thousand population in one of the most beautiful regions of Pennsylvania. The school is situated abo ut a mile from the Susquehanna River, and one hundred fifty feet above it on a gently sloping hill commanding a view of the valley. A campus of over fif ty acres affords ample space for lawns and athletic grounds, and includes a large and beautiful oak grove. Nine large buildings admirably adapted to their different uses, constitute the physical plant of the school . Carver Hall. Carver Hall, erect ed in 1867 and named for Henry Carver, the first principal, stands at the head of Main Street. Its white belfry and pillared entrance form a picturesque approach to the College campus and buildings. The building contains classrooms and the College auditor ium. Noetling Hall. Noetling Hall is in the rear of Carver Hall. Here the Department of Business Education is housed. In this building a large, well-furnished room is provided for the Day women, together with an adj oining room for the noon luncheon. Electrical appliances are provided for the convenience of the students. The Dean of Day Women has her office adj oining the large room. Benj amin Franklin Laboratory School. North of Waller Hall stands the new Training School . It is designed , planned, and equipped in accordance with the best modern practice. It provides teacher-training facilities from the kindergarten to the sixth grade, including a group of Special Education. Among the features is a special room arranged for observation and demonstration work. Science Hall. Science Hall affords modern facilities for the latest methods of work in sciences. The laboratories are large and adequately equipped . Laboratories fitted for the work in the biological subj ects are located on the first floor. The laboratories for physics and chemistry are on the second floor. There are two modern lecture rooms, with lanterns, screens, and complete equipment for demonstration and illustration. There are also two large , well-lighted art studios. The Department of Music is housed in this building. The New Gymnasium. Constructed and equipped at a cost of more than $350 ,000 , contains swimming pool, three gymnasium floors, five offices , and two classrooms. It also provides new dressing rooms and permanent bleachers seating 1,000. The Library . The Library is located on the second floor of Waller Hall. New equipment has recently been installed. The collection of books comprises about 2,500 volumes of standard works of fiction , history, education, the leading encyclopedias, dictionaries and books of reference. The reading tables are well-supplied with all the important local and national newspapers and magazines for the free use of the Btudents. The Dining Room. On the first floor of Waller Hall is the Dining Room, an attractive, well-lighted room. It is in charge of an expert dietitian who supervises the selection, the preparation and the service of A summer session program of twelve weeks enables entering students to complete four year teacher education curriculums in three calendar years. At the same time, teachers-in-service have an expanded opportunity to enroll for one or more of the summer sessions. Courses may thus be completed to the amount of three, six, nine or twelve semester hours. Freshmen students should plan to enter on June 7, although they will be accepted at the beginning of any summer session or semester. By this means, the fourth year usually spent in college as a Senior may be productive to the extent of $1,000 to $1,200 as a teacher. Placement records and present demands indicate a continuing request for teachers in the public schools. Even before 1940, 92 out of every 100 Bloomsburg graduates securgd positi ons. Of degree graduates since 1930, seventy-seven per cent were teachers and fifteen per cent gainfully employed. Only eight per cent were unemployed, married (never having taught), deceased, or were called into the armed forces immediately on graduation. The cost of completing the four-year curriculums in three calendar years is about the same as under the four college year plan. Securing a position a year earlier meets an existing need of our democracy and thus insures tenure status in a profession whose salary is likely to advance. Those who are now enrolled and others who may so indicate will progress on the four-year plan. So if a student embarks on the threeryear plan and finds for some reason he cannot complete it, the four college year plan will be continued. The three calendar year plan supplements but does not supplant the four-year plan. Information Relative to Enrollment If you are considering enrollment for the 1942 Summer Sessions, it is suggested that you write immediately to Dr. Thomas P. North , Dean of Instruction, telling him the grade of certificate you now hold, the grade of certificate you desire, and list in preferential order at least three courses which you desire. Complete information will be sent you promptly, .and every effort will be made to meet your individual needs. Teach ers-in-Service, before taking advanced work, are urged to decide very definitely the fields and type of certification desired. They sh ould make sure that the work selected will be accepted for the desired certification by the Department of Public Instruction and that there is no duplication of cou rses, or work taken, which later cannot be credited as desired. Transfer Students Students transferring from other Colleges should have an interview with our Dean of Instruction a few days before the opening of the session. The prospective student should present a transcript of college credits together with a statement of honorable dismissal. This interview will be more satisfactory than one held during the rush of registration day. A student desiring transfer from another College must first present a letter of honorable dismissal and a complete record of the work taken at his former College. These records shall be sent directly from the College to the office of the Dean of Instruction. In evaluating and crediting the work of a student transferring from another College, credit shall be given only for work having a grade one letter point or the equivalent above the lowest passing grads of the institution from which the student is transferring. food. Special effort is made to have the dining room homelike. The round tables, each seating eight students, contribute much to the social life of the meal hour. Educational Clinic . Many children are not profiting as fully as they might from the instruction received in the regular classroom. In order to coordinate the personnel and facilities of the college to provide an opportunity for the identification and removal of such obstacles in the development of individual students, the educational clinic was inaugurated in February , 1030. Rooms in Noetling Hall house modern equipment instruments, tests, and other materials useful in the diagnosis of children's learning and adjustment difficulties. Health Service. Two College agencies cooperate to provide a comprehensive health service. (1) The Department of Health Education is pri- marily responsible for the auricular and extra-curricular activities in the fields of health education and athletics, and (2) The College medical service provides a regular nurse, and includes a well-equipped infirmary and an isolation hospital. o Placement Record . The Placement Service of the Teachers College cooperates with the Placement Service-Teacher Division, Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania , thus offering additional facilities for the placement of our students and graduates. Many superintendents apply directly to us when in need of teach ers. The Teacher Placement Service ofthe Department of Public Instruction assists school officials in securing Pre-Session : Monday, June 7 to Saturday, June 26 , 1943 Regular Session: Monday , June 28 to Saturday, Auggust 7, 1943 Post Session: Monday , August 9 to Saturday, August 28, 1943 The State Teachers College at Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, is maintained by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the professional education of teachers for the Public Schools of Pennsylvania. The Summer Sessions are designed primarily to enable Pennsylvania teachers to advance professionally and to meet the certification standards approved by the State Council of Education. All the courses offered will be on a collegiate basis and will be of particular interest to the following: (1) Undergraduates desiring to . complete degree requirements in three calendar years. (2) Undergraduates qfislifyifig for advanced standing or the removal of conditions. (3) Teacher-in-Service qualifying for (a) advanced State Certification, (b) the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Education, and (c) the Permanent College Certificate. (4) College Graduates qualifying for State Certification through courses in education and student teaching. The work of the Regular Session, beginning June 28, will be scheduled so that one ninety-minute period per day , for five days per week, will constitute a three semester-hour course, except where adj ustments for laboratory courses are needed. Six semester-hours of credit is the normal load for the six weeks' session. In sp ecial cases, with the approval in advance of the President, seven semester-hours may be permitted. Students working for a State Certificate desiring to take more than six semestex*"hours may be permitted, sion in advance from the Teacher Division, Department of Public Instruction. An opportunity for additional work will be provided this summer by a three weeks' Pre-Sessipn and three weeks Post-Session. The work of the three weeks sessions will be scheduled so that two ninety-minute per- . iods per day for five days per week, will constitute a three semester-hour course, except where adjustments for laboratory courses are needed. Students not living in their own homes are required to live in the dormitories. An early application will secure a desirable room. A cordial invitation is extended to visit the College and to discuss any matters of detail with Dr. Thomas P. North, Dean of Instruction, o "A bad beginning makes a bad * ending," Euripides. competent teachers and aids teachers in securing suitable positions in fields of service for which their education best fits them.

This course will be made available in a limited number of the fourteen State Teachers Colleges where facilities and adequate space are available to carry on the program. This is an effort to provide competent teachers in high schools making available courses in fundamental principles aeronautics that must be known by fliers or by those entering this field. The education courses cover such subj ects, as aviation mathematics aircraft , communications and aerial navigation, __ meterology, theory of flight, history and identification of air craft, aircraf t engines and climatology. Among the requirements of schools off ering the program is that they be prepared to offer net less than approximately a year 's work in specialization in ground school courses in aeronautics. A landing field and planes must be available within a distance permitting occasional visitations. Teachers-in-service interested in this new field toward which certification will be made in the near future, may communicate with Dr. T. P. Nor th , Dean of Instruction. The college has also been inspected and approved for the new Navy college training program, to begin arou nd Ju ly 11 and to be entirely separate and in addition to the Naval Flight Instructors School which has been successfully operating here since last November . A minimum quota of 175 men has been suggested by the Navy and this may be increased as facilities are made available. The proposed new program has nothing to do with flight instruction and will in no way interfere with the present program of ground and flight courses of the Navy Flight Instruction school. The boys who enter such a Navy college training , for V-12 program will carry an academic curriculum with particular emphasis on mathematics and physics. They will have the rating of apprentice seamen. The facilities of the college will permit the carrying on of this .program entirely separate, even to housing, from the Navy Officers who are in training here. The V-12 men will be permitted to lead a normal college life may ^ participate in athletics, join fraternities and otherwise association In campus activities just as regular col lege students. Student Teachin g during the summer is designed particularly for experi enced or in-ser vice teachers so that they may meet the requirem ents for the Degree of Bach elor of Science in Educa tion , Since this group is interested In the latest developments In the field of actu al teaching, the adaptations necessary to make this work decidedly, worth while are met throu gh the cooperatio n • ¦ of our Trainin g School and Cqllege facilities, ¦ ¦ o '^f .,; - ;: , ,; "Lettuce , Is like conversation!.; it must be fresh and crisp, so sparkli ng that you scarcely notice tho bitter In it."

S. T. C. since Coach George Buchheit took command in 1933. Undefeated in dual competition during the past seven years, Buchheit also has the distinction of dropping only two meets while winning thirty over the ten year period. In the thirty-two meets, Husky track teams have not merely eked out victories over opponents, bu t they have won most events by comfortable margins and many by lopsided counts. A t ot al of 2,571.7 points have been recorded as against 1,479.4 for the opposition. West Chester 's Rival Only two teachers colleges have won the annual State Teachers College meet over the past decade, Bloomsburg having won it four times and West Chester six. The Huskies have long been close rivals of the Rams, and the meet has of late been mainly between the two schools for track supremacy. In comparing the two schools' track teams of the past, it is interesting to note that at every state meet West Chester always had about 30 on hand to participate whereas the Maroon and Gold usually sent a dozen. When the point scoring is on the 5-4-3-2-1 basis, it constantly favors the larger squad. Enter Penn Relays Coach Buchheit has taken numerous performers to the Penn Relays and other meets, and on every occasion the Maroon and Gold clad athletes did well. Bloomsburg relay teams in the Penn Relay Carnival have captured three firsts and one second in the College Class Relay and one second and three thirds in the Teachers College Relay. Considering the competition , this was good . Individual performers such as Dan Kemple, who placed fourth in the two mile run in 1940, and George Spon ta k , runner-up in the 400 meter hurdles last spring, also have done well. ' What Coach Buchheit is proud of most, however, is the showings of Dan Bonham, George Spontak and Matt Kashuba in the National A. A. U. Championships. In 1941, Bonham placed third in the discus and flfth in the ja velin. Last season Spontak was third in Junior 400-meter hurdles and fourth in the Senior of the same event. Kashuba finished a good fourth in the Senior high ju mp and sixth in the Junior championships. As Buchheit points out, to even place in these events is a high honor, arftl to get as high as third or fourth definitely shows the ability of the athlete. The competition is extremely hig h , and some of the most reputable colleges and universities in the nation send men to the annual championships. The Huskies won two relay events at the Penn A. C. games In 1939 and 1940. Matt Kashuba tied for the high j ump there last year and then won the Middle Atlantic A. A. U. j ump single handed. Spontak placed second in the 400-metor hurdles and Walter Kanla third In the mile run. The following Is a brief summary of some of the notable achievements of Bloomsburg track teams: \1033—Won over Lock Haven, lost Navy V-12 schools in Pennsylvania may rescue inter-collegiate athletics from the depths into which it has fast been plundering. When Bloomsburg: was listed as a possibility for the program, this column discussed briefly the situation at that time. As things now stand, the training- will begin July 1. Most of these men will be about eighteen to twenty years old with a real love for competition. When sport analysts of the nation made the subj ect of inter-collegiate athletics for the specialized students hot last fall, Army and Navy authorities gave a partial answer. The Army definitely frowned upon the idea because as they stated it, "the students wouldn't have time." Naval authori ties, however , approved the plan at that time. According- to recent reports, the students will engage in all activities that regular students do. So it does not seem impossibile that Bloomsburg S. T. C. may be able to field a football team by next autumn—and a good one at that. •I* T" •!• •»¦ •** T * t "* -4r 'r y Spontak in the National A. A. U. Championships.
