A t the end of the 1943-1945 biennium certain funds which have 'been
held in reserve to make up for rep a irs , depreciation , and usage, due
to war programs, are being expended
to amounts approximating $15,000.
President Andruss •• announces that
.commitments have been made , or
contracts have been awarded, for the
following:
Reconstruction and resurfacing of
corridors in Waller, Noetling, and
Carver Halls $5,000; appropriate furniture , including chiffoniers , bureaus,
chairs, and settees for the social
rooms, etc., $6 ,000; Addressograph
Machine with Graphotype for making
name plates, and other equipment
$1,600; Renewal of curbs, sidewalks,
and other cement work $750; Reupholstering furniture and Venetian
Blinds $800.
With the mustering of war program students in the halls leading to
the dining room, floors have become
' quite worn and thought must be given
to their renewal as the Navy Program approaches its termination.
Covering is to be of a material called
Lln-o-tile, in three colors, which has
a very durable surface capable of
supporting 200 pounds of pressure
to the square inch.
Dormitory furniture will be of
birch wood in natural, or light finish.
Chiffoniers will be of a size larger
than we now have In the dormitories,
while the study tables and chairs
will be of the same general typo. The
addition of this equipment will mean
that dormitory furniture will be of
the same general type in all rooms
And will be more adequate as to size

• Our meeting today is marked by
the absence of one whose heart was
ever in sympathy with the success of
this Institution , and whose untiring
efforts were always put forth, without limit, to make the meeting of the
Alumni a joyous occasion.
We can but bow before the will of
that Infinite Power which ended the
earthly career of one whom we loved,
and whose life spared no effort to
make his portion of the world a better place in which to live.
Our President, Bruce Albert, whose
untimely death we mourn today, w/is
a man of varied gifts and one who
never spared htmself In the social
service of Ills community.
His efforts placed the Alumni Fund
upon a sound financial basis. His
presence was an Inspiration. His absence leaves a void which we sorely
regret.
RESOLVED that this Alumni Association hereby desires to express Its
deep sympath y to his beloved wife,
and to place on record our sincere
feeling of sorrow and l oss, In the untimely death of our President , Bruce
Albert.

Five Years of Transition . . .
What of the Future?

Future prospects in the f ield of
teacher education in terms of the
currieulums for which we are already
approved may be summarized as follows:
1. If the salaries of elementary
teachers are equalized with the salaries of secondary teachers who have
equal qualifications, there will be a
marked incentive for young women
to come to college in order to teach
younger children in the elementary
grades. If not, we can expect decreases in enrollment in this field.
Additional subsidies for teachers of
special classes for the mentally retarded are proof of these expectancies.
2. High school teachers will be in
demand in certain academic fields,
such as Mathematics, Science, and
Foreign
Languages, particularly
Spanish . The English and Social Studies field always have been and possibly always will be over crowded,
since many college Seniors in Liberal
Arts Colleges decide shortly before
they graduate to complete the minimum requirements for certification
The kind of student who does not decide what he is going to do with his
education , until he is a Senior is usually one who does not have the prerequisites for successful work in
Mathematics, Science, Languages,
and in similar fields of about equal
diffi culty.' Therefore , wo have the cry
that "there are too many teachers, "
based on the fact that the number of
certificates issued is in excess of tho
numbor of positions available . The
question "ore there too many teachers" has never boon conclusively answered, and requires careful study.
3, Business Education as an activity on the college level has suffered
market] decreases in 'enrollment , both
on account of the large number of
men enrolled in this field , and also
' becnuse it was possible for the high
school graduate, with very little
trnlning, to go into business or government offices and demand salaries
in excess of those paid college-graduates, It is to be expected that with
the return of peace this situation will
right itself. Incronses in enrollment
are to be expected.
• ••¦. 4. The expansion of the offerings of
. State Teachers Colleges, both in the
flDl d of Teacher Education and in
other fields , is receiving consideration

by harvey a. andruss

by the Legislature at tlie time of this
writing. Whatever may be the outcom e, it is felt that the - field of Aeronautics will be developed on the high
school level. Over four-hundred high
schools in Pennsylvania are now offering a course to Juniors and Seniors. Present certification requirements are on a war emergency basis
and it is to be expected when these
are brought up to the level of other
subjects there will be a necessity for
the training of teachers in this field.
The location of the college in relation to the airport makes Bloomsburg
a natural aviation center. This relationship exists because of the far-seeing efforts of Harry L. Magee and a
number of Bloomsburg citizens who
picneered the airport , and our Board
of Trustees who have been willing to
experiment with new things in education for a new day.
In the event that legislation makes
possible the training of veterans and/
or war workers in the field of Aeronautics, this and other areas of instruction yet to be developed will
then attract an increasing number
of young men and young women .
The transition from war to peace
has already begun in our Teachers
Colleges. There remains the problem
of facing the future with the same
far-sighted enthusiasm and cooperation which made possible our marked
contribution to the war effort.
Only through the vision of the
Board of Trustees, the cooperation of
the faculty, the confidence of the student-body, the interest of the public
spirited citizens of Bloomsburg, along with the continued support of
9,000 Alumni have we been able to
meet the challenges of war. With the
same spirit we shall be able to solve
the problems of peace nnd the education which will promote Us continuance, ¦

School days, school days, dear old
golden rule days—pardon me, while
I get corny, but June always . makes
me nostalgic, Did I say nostalgic, nauseated is more like it. Why, oh why,
do we have to endure finals. When I
teach , I'll give everyone an A and
use my red pencil for a.lipstick.
Speaking of lipstick, my room-mate
has a nice one. I wonder if she-would
loan me her newlove
one for that
formal
that sh ade. Yi!
dance . Gee^ I
There is a shade that should be down.
Deliver me from an exhibitionist!!
What did that prof say about exhibit. Oh yes, something about my
exhibi ting a little brain power on the
next test. How did I . get back to
tests?
"Feed your mind well," someone
once said. The only thing I really
enjoy feeding is my stomach . Which
reminds me. The dress I must wear
to that last club banquet makes me
ill . I need a new one.
How well can a teacher dresg on
her salary, I'm thinking? Teaching
sort of scares me. If there are any
quiz-kid brains in the classes I teach
someone of them is bound to find out
some of my weak spots.
Let's see now, what are my weaknesses—OK then, where is my full
strength ? That's a silly waste of time
and I haven't much more of that at
B.S.T.C. In spite of all my griping
I'm going to miss this place. Only a
few more days and then Commencemen. I hope I don't trip on my gown,
and sprawl at" the president's feet.
That would certainly create a panic.
I'll miss the fun I've had here. Those
pie-beds and those indigestible feeds;
our bull sessions, and late permissions. It's going to seem queer without them. I know one prof, who w ill
be glad to get rid of me. Golly I was
dense in that course! The next time
I come to Bloom, I'll be an old
grad ! There's the bell. Now for that
test. If he gives us anything in chapter fifteen , I'm sunk !
THE CAUSE OF ALL. OUR AGONY

Whenever some unkind individual
mentions the word "whites," there is
a general explosion of groans and
sighs? Why ? Maybe you think it's
fun to spend two hours blotting out
'that conspicuous lipstick smear. True ,
it could bo blood or mercurochrome,
but , you know these sailors !
And then we have the laundry
bill s.* Everyone realizes that , the
laundry men have to live, too, but it
seems rather sttange that they make
enough money during the summer
months to spend the winter in Florida or some other torrid region where
the sailors are wearing—right, their
"whites."
O/i Friday nigh t, the long procession to and from the laundry room
on the third and fourth decks is a
sorry sight. Oh well,, fellows, all this
washing experience , is making wondorful prospective wives out of you. *
The patient girls should bo placed
on the end of the receiving lino for
a little sympathy too . Remarks like,
"Be careful , you'll get me all. .dirty,"
"Watch that lipstick ," and "Here,

are likely to drive any *sailor's gal .r a

Some of the boys (sailors) at Oberlin College have been comparing
newspapers with women—why not?
They have forms ; they always have
the last word ; back numbers aren 't
in demand; they have a great deal of
influence; they are well worth looking over; you can't believe everything
they say; they carry the news whereever they go; they are much thinner
now than they used to be; every man
should have one of his own and not
borrow his neighbor's.

are : to tow a man 100 yards, jump

The renewal of curbs and sidewalks
is a contin uous problem of maintenance which the severity of winter
\weather causes to continue.
