REFLECTIONS ON THIS
YEAR

Many scenes pass in review as we
look back over this year. We were
greeted by khaki uniforms on our arrival back to school. We were disappointed not to see many familiar
faces back. Our entertainment ranged from a sculpturess to an archer,
from dancers from Bali and Java to
an Alaskan lecturer.
The college dedicated a service
flag. We saw "Arsenic and Old Lace "
and "Letters to Luzerne." We listened to "The Song of America" and a
spring festival. Most organizations
had a change of some officers in the
middle of the year as men went away
to the service. Graduation exercises
were held in January and now in
May. Three classes went together to
hold the Sweetheart Ball. The Seniors held their ball at the Elks' Club.
We have learned the three verses of
the "Star Spangled Banner " and can
whistle "Waltzing Matilda. " The college has brand new Social Rooms. We
have gone without butter for awhile,
and utter a prayer for those people
who are so much less fortunate than
we. More and more scenes flood our
view, too many to mention them all.
Yes, it was a grand year in spite of
everything.

"STAG PAR TY"
I have often wondered ju st why a
gathering of men is called a stag
party. The explanation has j ust occurred to me. It is because none of
the little dears are present. I believe
these unmixed parties are good for
all men, because when they are with
the women they are either at their
best or at their worst. A party of this
type is the time when men can be
their own natural selves. We all
know that man. is classified as an
anim al. But he is not only one animal, he is several. To start with, he
is a kid. Sometimes he turns out to
be a good-for-nothing pup , or a
skunk. Usually some woman comes
along and makes a monkey out of
him. Then he gets married and becomes a goat, or develops into a mule.
Occasionally he tries the gambling
game and makes a j ackass out of
himself . In his old age, he develops
into a wise old dog, or a sly old fox.
Sometimes he enters 'the realm oi
birds and becomes cuckoo. Of all the
animals, he is the only one that can
be skinned several times.
Shakespeare wrote about the seven
ages of man. You notice, however ,
that he did not say the seven ages of
women. Lovely women have only
one age , that is after they are 25. But
there are another seven ages of man
slightly different from those of
Shakespeare. The first , when he is
a mere infant sleeping all day, is the
crib age. When he enters school and
proves a trial to his instructors, he
is in the sauce age. When he becomes a young man and delights in
feminine society, he en t ers t he grab
age . This soon leads to the altar and
the marry age. A few years later he
develops poor health , this is the pill
age and last of all with some of his
fa culties impaired , he enters his dotage. I disagree with Alex. Pope that
thq proper study of mankind is man.
I believe the proper, study of mankind is women. So, my advice to my
brothers, is to continue in what they
may be doing, whether they become
a bachelor or a Benedict, their time
will not be wasted because of interference of friendship for his fellowmen:

DEAR DIARY

*

Dear Diary:
Can you believe it, my college days
are practically over, now. So many
people have asked me if I'm glad.
Well , my answer is, "No." Oh, I
know I've done my share of complaining and many times I've wished
for May 25 to come around in a hurry," yet, the nearer that day comes,
the more precious ^seems each remaining day .
You kn ow, our commencement is
different—there 's a certain sadness
about it. We go out to a world that
is at war. Because of that, we're going to look over our class at commencement and think of all those
who should be there, but who are
miles away. We're also going to see
some who will soon be joining our
armed forces. Yet, I guess we should
not feel sad about that. We should,
and we do feel proud , for it is a far
greater thing they are doing.
Gee, I guess I'm sounding terribly
sent imental, and I really didn't mean
to. I really meant to think of all the
wonderf ul times we had these four
years. Remember those Frosh customs? How green we were! And
that Frosh Kid Party—there 's where
we had the fun. You 've got to admit,
we did put on some wonderful dances in these four years. Now, I suppose someone is going to drag that
skeleton out of the closet about our
Junior Prom. Well, maybe we didn't
make out so well financially , but Stan
Kenton does have a snappy band and
I heard so many say it was the nicest
dance B. S. T. C. ever had—and they
weren 't members of our class who
said it either. Then, best of all were
those "j am " sessions in the day rooms
and dorm rooms. What j okes! What
laughs!
I guess the thing we will always
remember will be student teaching.
You see, the Freshman year isn't the
only time you 're green and scared.
Well , diary , all too soon it is over.
If Bloomsburg hasn 't done anything
else for us, it has left us pleasant
memories and I hope Homecoming
and Alumni get-tog-ethers in the future will find us back recalling those
days again.

The second war year is about to close here on the {hill, and, although
intercollegiate sports were on somewhat of a limited basis the past term,
two remained in the picture. Soccer, the only fall sport, listed but three
games, the Huskies winning one and losing two. However, in every game
the charges of Coach Buchheit outplayed their opponents, and the Homecoming tilt lost to Elizabethtown, 2-1, in two extra periods was regarded
as a tough luck affair.. The season¦ 's clincher was over Ithaca College, N. Y.,
. •
by a 2-1 count.
.
Basketball had its worst season in five years, but even at that the record of five wins and six losses is good. Coach Buchheit had the misfortune
of losing two of his stars, Bernie Pufnak and Vince Washvilla, to the Service, and this helped break up his team. But Buchheit and his boys kept
going, even though the last game was played with only eight players. Walter McCloskey, captain and one of the best ball handlers ever to wear the
Maroon, and Gold; shifty Tony Valente, and Pufnak were jSeniors who bowed
out of the picture.

*****

The most gratifying thing from the athletic standpoint was that no
scheduled game was cancelled by Bloomsburg for one reason or another.
Hardly a Pennsylvania teachers college can boast such a record , but the determination of players, coach es, and the Athletic Council made possible the
meeting of every date carded. Many Bloomsburg opponents have cancelled
games with Husky teams, and in many instances their squads were larger.

*****

What will the future bring? So far as intercollegiate athletics on a
peace time level are concerned,,they have just about run their course. As
we mentioned in previous writings, the Navy V-12 program may make it
possible to have athletics using specialized students that will be sent here.

The 67th annual Amateur Athletic Association track and field events at
New York last Saturday didn't have the entries of years past. When B. S.
T. C. had such stars as Dan Bonham, George Spontak and Matt Kashuba
in the events, the competition was plenty tough, but just like everything
else the war changed that. Penn was dealt a stunning blow when it was
learned that Joe Kane , javelin thrower , and Pax Gifford , star speedster,
couldn't enter. The Quaker school was defending titlists.

Danny Litwhiler, B. S. T. C.'s gift to the Majo rs, hopped off to his best
start since j oining the Phillies, when he caught hold of Whitlow Wyatt and
Max Macon's fast balls and drove them into the stands at Brooklyn, four
home runs in his first two games. He also got another off Nate Andrews of
the Braves on May 9 and is now second in four ply swats in both leagues.
Although Litwhiler's average had dwindled somewhat during the week
ol May 9-14, he is a real clouter this year and is hitting more line drives.
Including May 14 games, "Dangerous Dan" had* 20 hits in 60 trips to the
plate for a .333 average. His eleven runs batted ih placed him third in the
National loop in that department.
Seldom noticed by fans, another department in which Litwhiler is outstanding is fielding. Last season the Phil star established an all time record
by going 151 games without a miscue. Thus far he has 39 put outs and four
assists for a perfect slate.

Since 1932, B. S. T. C. athletics''
have tallied a total of 269 victories "
against 207 losses for a percentage of
.565. The record is excellent in view
of the fact that in such a compilation,
which includes all sports, a .500 mark '
is good.
One or two sports are bound to be
below the normal ones, and this is the
factor that pulls the average down.
Football and wrestling are the only
two sports to possess a record under
the half-way mark and the latter was
never really a . major activity.
1935-36 Best Year
During the 1935-36 term, 38 wins
were posted as against only 13 losses
and one tie for a percentage of .745.
Although this p eriod didn't* experience any championship teams, every
organization went over the 50 per
cent point, track with 4 victories and
no losses , tennis, 11-2, baseball 10-3,
basketball 9-5 and football 4-3.
In seven of the eleven years,.
Bloomsburg sports teams have won
more than were lost. The top year in
victories was 1935-36 with 38, while
the most losses occurred in 1937-38 ,
thirty ; however, that year also saw
27 wins.
Track is Highest
Track gets the honors for the best
p ercentage with a total of 30 wins
to its credit while dropping but two
meets to record a remarkable average
of .938. Tennis is second, having 47
victories and 25 defeats for .653 and
baseball is third with .611.
The best record over any opponent
is at the expense of Susquehanna
University, twenty wins and but
three losses for a percentage of .'870.
Only East Stroudsburg, Bucknell an d
Ithaca hold edges over the Huskies.
Three other colleges, although out in
front, have not played sufficient
games to enter the picture. On the
other hand , Bloomsburg is ahead of
Lock Haven, Shippensburg, Millersville, Susquehanna, Mansfield, Kutetown, Elizabethtown, Montclair, Villanova and St. Thomas while splitting even with Indiana and Slippery
Rock. Other margins exist over
schools which also have played insufficient games.

The great day was here! The professors felt that they had done their
part. Our little chicks would now
lead their carts on the strict narrow
primrose path of rules and regulations. But, why has Fanny tucked
away the artificial apple in a good
hiding place and destroyed the secret
note?
Siko: "I'll be around for the wagon
and horse about ; 8:30 then, Mr.
Brown?"
Mr. Brown: "You bet! I rent my
horses and buggies at more convenient times than most stations in
town."
The band was playing a good old
fashioned waltz. Boys and girls were
dancing together, imagine! They
laughed boisterously as neighbors
angrily turned over in their beds.
Around 8:45 Fanny and her friend
Miss Gigglesworth were seen stepping gingerly into a highly polished
buggy outside the very offices of the
Deans.
They arrived at their designated
spot unescorted in down town
Bloomsburg. A lively fox trot greeted the merry couples. A real social
affair was taking place at this most
exclusive ball room which was later
made into a bowling alley. Ginger
ale was being served and groups of
coeds could be seen talking in an unrestrained manner not even watching
out for the faithful eyes of their
chaperons.
Mr. Siko wanted to be different ,
however. He nonchalantly asked
Fanny if she would step outside for a
bit of fresh air.
Siko: "I have a surprise for you—
You do like something different don 't
vou?"
Fanny: "Well—If it's not too radical—like being seen here by one of
the Deans."
Siko: "Then my dear, step into my
handsome chariot. We are going for a
l'ide. There's a road that winds
around the weeping willows near the
beautiful Susquehanna. Sooo—they
drove away to enjoy the scenery of a
lovely old-fashioned evening!
How was this all possible in this
day and age?
The Deans read the headlines of
the morning social functions to see

that most of the coeds attended that
abhorable-dashing-dancing hall down
town. What would their last resort
be? Why—nothing—because it happened to be the day after graduation.
We know Mr. Siko couldn 't possibly
break any laws, intentionally—he 's
our hero. Hoping to be able to give
you something you like next year.
"Ye Archeologist."

LIFE WITH UNCLE

get one day off. Our day off happens
to be Wednesday so that means Saturday and Sunday classes for us.
Last week on our off day John and
I went into Champaign (just about
20 miles from here) and spent a
whole afternoon at the U, of Illinois
campus. It is a very beautiful place
but we were both agreed on the fact
that the campus of good old B. S. T.
C. would look like paradise to us
right now.
Army life is fine , and we're not
kicking but I think I can speak for
most of the fellows when I say that
we would so much like to come home
and lead sane, peaceful, happy lives
again .

Dear "Fellas, "
This has been a semester of hearing from "Bloomsburg" men and women all over the world, and on May twenty-first it ends. During those
eighteen weeks or more, I received many letters which {thrilled me and
made me feel proud of the simple j ob I hold on our M. and G. staff.
On one occasion we got a long censored letter from Cpl. A. |A. Strohosky in which he said, "Your publications have always been interesting
and reached my fox hole on time. Whenever I had time between the many
attacks, I would reach for a battered , crumpled and dirty M. and G. to read
or reread." His and letters like his^ was the great reward for our easy effort.
In order that we might begin next September where we leave off this
