College To Crown Twin May Queens in Unique Ceremony Frosh'Sponsored April Showers Ball Crowd Enjoys Music of Lee Vincent Centennial Gymnasium Is Beautifully Decorated For Corsageless Affair In spite of heavy rains which lasted up until early evening, a near-capacity crowd attended the April Showers Ball of the freshman class, whi ch was held Friday evening, April 22 in Centennial Gymnasium. Music for the occasion was provided by Lee Vincent and his orchestra. Dancing was from 9 until 12. The dance floor decorations were arranged to suggest a garden scene. Two arbors flanked by a small, white picket fence stood near the main •entrance. A large, green umbrella mounted on a garden table stood in the center of the floor , and a number of colored parasols were arranged along the sides of the bandstand. Colored paper streamers were hung overhead and extended downward to the floor. A large yellow shell was erected behind the bandstand. Several novelty numbers were featured along with the regular dance program, and immediately before intermission the orchestra did a number of style imitations of nationally famous dance bands. A mysterious note was added by the appearance of B.S.T.C.'s "Mystery Man ," who was masked and clad entirely in black. After his brief and unannounced visit he hurriedly left the building and disappeared. The absence of corsages was a conspicuous feature of the dance. They had been eliminated at an earlier date, af ter the girls had overwhelmingly voted against them in a poll which was conducted in assembly. The various dance committees were composed of the following members of the freshman class— Dance band committee: George Viti and Ed Shanken. • Publicity committee: Sal Ruffulo, chairman ; Dick Hollis, Bill McAloose , Olive Hunter, and Barbara Harman. Ticket committee : Ed Shanken , chairman ; Nancy Swartz, George Hughes, and Sidney Wruble. Decorating committee: Mary Ann Stewart, chairman ; Dot Cedor , Marybert Kincaid , Helyn Burlingame, and Shirley Robzen. Mirth & Melody Mark "Bach to Boogie" Show In April 21 Assembly Mirth and music were combined into a program of entertainment at the assembly of Thursday , April 21, as Mr. George Johnson presented a routine entitled "Bach to Boogie." The performer proved himself to be equally capable both as comedian and piani st, and the gales of laughter that swept the halls were interspersed by periods of admiration and praise. Clever use of the English language was employed by the artist in bringing forth many laughs. His opening remarks concerned his school days and abilities , with a twist of words in every sentence producing laughs. Brief comments on the lives of several of the composei's were not without th eir lighter moments. In describing Bach's family of twenty children , Mr. Johnson quipped that the neighbors used to say the old master was "stork mad." As an. example of the piano works of the "father of the pianoforte ," the "Boure e in G-minor" was played. Chopin 's life and works were discussed next. Of -note was the fact that the birthday of this great composer falls on the same d ay of the year as that of George Washington. Chopin was the one composer who chose to devote all his time to creating music, i. e., to the exclusion of writing for other instrumentation. It was he who made the piano popular as a solo instrument. Excerpts from the "Polonaise in A-flat" were presented, and the theme was identified as being that from which the recently popular song, "Till t h e End of Time , " was taken. Expressing admiration for a composer who had the ability to express completeness of thought in two lines of music, the pianist continued his musical selections with the "Prelude in A-majo r," the shortest piano composition known. The closing number of this group was the "Waltz in G-flat. " A brief music lesson was presented in the form of illustration of the difference of the character of a maj or ( Continued on page 3) "The Late George Apley," by John P. Marquand and George S.

But the 1949 version of the May Queen 's coronation procession will be different from any previously witnessed on this campus, and more than likely different from any that will be seen for many, many years to come. May Day 1949 will feature something that can happen only once in a lifetime. When the Queen of May leads her coronation procession across the campus, spectators will see two queens instead of the customary one, and Talented Cast of Bloomsburg Pla y ers' Recent Production • ? ? • they will be a pair of queens who would be ace-high in any coronation procession. And even more amazing, they will be as alike as the proverbial peas in a pod. You've guessed it! B.S.T.C.'s CoQueens of May will be none other than those pert , vivacious twins from Berwick—Midge and Madge Fuller. Originally, when the May Queen was elected by student vote, Madge won over her sister Midge by a narrow margin. Following the election , a number of persons began to ask themselves the same question : Since the girls are identical twins, and since only a few votes separated the two of them, why not have two Queens of May ? , The matter was referred to the May Day committee, and following the Easter vacation the committee announced that Midge and Madge would reign jointly over B.

Gallo Runs Near-Record Dash To Pace Husky Team A 9.8 hundred yard dash by Frank Gallo was the high point of last Saturday's meet with Cheyney, as the College thinclads swept to their second dual track engagement win in three days. Cheyney wound up lamed by a score of 75-56. Turning in the fast hundred , Gallo defeated Cheyney's ace, Grant, who is a former P.I.A.A. champion. Gallo also led Grant in the 220, but was beaten out when he pulled up lame toward the close of the event. Frank Womer and Elmer Kreiser repeated their heavy point-making performances of the previous meet with Scranton. Womer grabbed 13 points with firsts in the pole vault and high jump, and a second in the broad j ump. Kreiser took the shot put and discus. The damp track precluded outstanding performances, but Cheyney's East got off a near 22-foot leap in the broad jump.

Editor's Note : Due to the popular* Ity by which the first Sports Quiz was received, the M & G gives you another of these quizzes which they hope will in time become a regular feature of the paper. 1.

(a) Bloomsburg High School (b) Sunbury High School (c) Stroudsburg High School 3. The trackmen of Coach Pete Wisher have come up with a boy who rea lly knows h ow to travel over t h e cinder paths. His name of course, is Frankie Gallo, who last week nearly broke the record for the Husky thinclads when he stepped off the 100 yds. in 9.8 seconds. He is being compared t o a f ormer Hus ky das h star of a f ew years ago. Do you know him? (a) Zeke Abrahams ( b) Matt Kashuba (c) Fran k Van Devender 4.

KITTY AND HER YARN Discussed by Students At Meeting of AAUW : by Don Bntcofsky '= = Back Again . . . After being out of the Doghouse for three weeks, this matter of getting back into it again has become a painful task of readj ustment. It seems that you always break your stride during a vacation , and then when you get back on the typewriter again you find yourself "X-ing out" about half t he stu ff you write. In fact, if you manage to salvage half of it you can consider yourself fortunate. Ordinarily, this column can be written in about three hours. Today it will probably require as many as five or six. All of which goes to prove what some of us have always suspected -~ that the rest value of vacations is extremely questionable. * * * * * Then and Now . . . • Looking back , it seems that some vast improvements have been made in the college during the past two years, and especially withi nthe past several months. The redecoration of Carver and Waller Halls has done much to bring Old Hilltop right up to date. It has become such that if you can remember when the Old Gym was really old in every sense of the word, you may feel free to consider yourself an oldtimer. The most recent and most welcome change has been in the dining hall, which has been entirely redecorated. And for that matter so have the sport coats of a few of us who were un able to see the fine print on the cards which , when you got down on your knees to read them, informed you that the paint was wet. As a postscript to this commentary on improvements comes the sobering thought that the drinking fountains haven 't arrived yet. Perhaps they are being shipped via ox cart from Alaska. * * * * * Sweet Dreams, Sweetheart . . . Psychologists are always doing something, mainly tipping their hats to dogs and stopping to pat old ladies on the head. However, they do occasionally come up with some information of more or less value. Some of them recently discovered the fact that 81 per cent of women's dreams tend to be emotion al , whereas a mere 51 per cent holds for the menfolk. Add also the fact that unmarried women dream more often than do those who have already caged themselves a mate. Actually , dreams are nothing more than your subconscious mind playing hob while your conscious mind is asleep at the switch , all of which makes shady characters of the subconscious minds of most of us. But dreams do have their value, for how else could you be given the chance to occasionally put an erratic instructor in his place ? Besid es, it is always a pleasure to go to bed at nigh t and dream that you are an earnest , hardworking scholar, and th at all your term papers are finished thr ee weeks in advance. * * * * * Fowl Business . . . The Maroon and Gold now has an official mascot — a duck , no less. This creature has been contributed to the sum total of the M&G's worldly goods by Hobart Hiney, who does the editing of the Borrowed Banter. It is a small duck — a duckling, as ducks go — and plans are being made to establish . residence for it here at the college. So if you should happen to hear some quacking in the near future , don 't hurry by, thinking it is merely another lecture. And by the way, the sta ff st ill h asn 't found a name for this latest addition to campus j ournalism. If you have any ideas, send th em in. * * * * * Tails Told out of School . . . Despite rather poor attendance the Frosh-sponsored "April Showers Ball" was a five-bark shindig. The decorations were tops, and the Lee Vincent orchestra left nothing to be desired. But the Frosh made one mistake you couldn't sell new Buicks for two bits apiece on this campus near the end of the month . . . This column usually gives births a wide berth , but the nest of bunny blessed events back of North Hall rates at least a woof. All of which goes to prove that even rabbits can make mistakes . . .

In a formal ceremony, Minister Pat Barfield recently christened Eleanor Pupo 's bunny, "Soupy." He was named for Marian Supnick who had presented him to Eleanor as a birthday gift. Fifteen guests attended. (Incidentally, my chocolate bunny was automatically christened "droopy " when we forgot and left the radiator on last night.) THE BIG DIFFER ENCE betw een the Easter bunny and your Kitten is that after the bunny has laid HIS eggs, he's smart enough to take off for a year, but — I'll see you next week. — Kitty -• (Continued from page 2) B.S.T.C. was represented, was as follows: The fifty - two piece Brown and White band of Lehigh University, whose directors are W.

As a second number , the band offered the "Overture to the St u dent Princ e," by Romberg. Andy Macieko, Ma x Kapl an , and Norman Kline—the Andy Mack Trio — pleased the audience with their novelty arrangements, opening with a medley of George M. Cohan songs. Andy followed with two excellent accordion solos, a selection from the "Tri este Overt u r e" and "Sharpsh ooters ' March." As a closing number the trio used Kaplan 's origin al , "Terry. " The sixty-voice male glee club of King 's College were next , as they provided a varied group of choral selections. Director of the group is Mr. Bronis J. Voveris , and the accompanist is Miss Eleanore Ostrowski. Folk dances were presented by a group of students from Swarthmore as the program came to intermission. Several, square dances were among the numbers.
