Mr. Sterlin g Guest Of U. S. Air Force Mr. Bradford Sterling, campus Geography instructor, and several other noted instructors from colleges in Pennsylvania were guests of the United States Air Force during a two week visitation to the Air Force Technical School. A special plane left Harrisburg for Scott Field where the first week of the visit was spent. All the instructors were given two weeks temporary duty without pay, and were given the rank of field grade officers. They were housed in barracks and were on the same schedule as the air force. After a week at Scott Field, the party flew to Keesler Field, where they visited the schools at the base. Mr. Bradford Sterling The purpose of this trip was to b bring about unity between civilian a and air force training programs. I The teachers were able to see the n methods of instruction used at the b bases and to give some informatl tlon that might prove helpfu l to ti the air force instructors. This si shows that the air force respects tc teaching and wants to keep up wwith all methods of instruction. Mr. Sterling, a flight instructor diduring the war. has had extensive ej experlenco in this unusual phase olof education. President John Scrimgeour and Dave Newbury were the two delegates from Bloomsburg who attended the Regional Conference of Kappa Delta Pi at the Kent State University of Ohio. Th e conferen ce was sched u led for December 6th and opened with brief messages from the important officers of the National Executive Committee for Kappa Delta Pi. Following several announcements the conference was broken .up into smaller discussion groups. John Scrimgeour was made recorder of one of these discussion groups. His group planned ways to improve pledging and selection of new members. Dave Newbury attended a group discussion on methods to improve chapter programs. The two delegates left Thursday , December 4, at 8:30 p.m. by (Continued on page 4) Bloomsbur g Co-Ed Nam ed in Natio nal " Grit " Beauty Show On November 9, 1952, the "Miss Grit" contest winners were announced. The Hollywood panel of screen stars chose Miss Dorothy Blake of Brady, Texas as Queen with Miss Sherrill Hiller of BSTC being chosen as runner-up. First prize consisted of $250 and the runners-up received $25. The contest was very difficult to judge as there were over 3,500 con t estants from all parts of the country entered, all being very charming young women and all daughters of Grit readers. When interviewed , Miss Hiller said she had no idea her name had been entered in the contest. Her mother had sent the picture into the Grit offices and it was on November 9 when the paper pub- . lished her picture that she found out that she was chosen as a winner in the "Miss Grit" contest and that she was to receive a cash prize of $25. It was really quite an honor for Sherrill as her picture was in the hands of such movie stars as Farley Granger, Peter Lawford, Dale Robertson , Fernando Lamas, Bill Shirl ey , and Bob Arthur. Sherrill has been a very active young lady around B.S.T.C., being chosen as "Varsity Queen" in her Freshman year and as Queen of an individual sport in her Sophomore year. She has also been very active in Dramatics. Communit y Singing Program Presented On December 2 in Carver Hall Auditorium, a community singing program took place during assembly. Mr. Frank Gullo and Mr. Hummel Fishburne, the best known group singing team in Pennsylvania, presented the entertaining program to the student body . A wide variety of favorite tunes was sung, both as a group and in rounds. Mr. Gulla led the group singing while Mr. Fishburne offered a piano accompaniment. Mr. Fishburn e is head of tho Music and Musical Education Department at Ponn State College and diagrams the formation for the Blue Band. He is past president of the Pennsylvania Music Education Association. Mr. Gullo Is a member of the Music Department Staff at the same college and is interested in choral group work. The team travels all over the United States. Its largest audience was 6600, which was at the Lfbrary of Congress Auditorium .

Music was provided by Deacon Hill. The gymnasium was decorated with gay streamers of maroon and gold with the queen 's throne of yellow dominating the Dee Doyle entrance of the dance floor. The highlight of the dance was the crowning of the Varsity Queen. The idea of having queens for the various sports added an unusual touch. Dolores Doyle was crowned Varsity Queen by Charlie Brennan, club president. Nancy Williams, escorted by Larry Ksanznak, was crowned queen of basketball. Russ Verhousky led Bessmarie Williams, queen of football. ( Continued on page 4) training programs. Interviews will be conducted in the Old Gym from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Captain Koehnlein exp lained that the Marine Corps offers three officer training programs for college students. These are the Officer Candidate Course for male seniors, the Platoon Leaders Class for male freshmen, sophomores and j uniors and the Women Officer Training Program for women students. None of these programs requires any specialized studies or drills during the schoolterm. Training for members of the Platoon Leaders Class and Women Officer Training Program takes place during the summer recess. The summer training lasts for six weeks during each of two summers. During the training, members receive $140.00 to $180.00, plus their food , uniforms, medical care, and transportation to and from the training camps. Enrollees receive commissions as second lieutenants in the Marine Corps Reserve after they have graduated from college. Under Selective Service Law, a member of the Platoon Leaders Class is deferred from induction until after graduation . Seniors who enter the Officer Candidate Course are ordered to active duty after graduation and become second lieutenants after successfully completing ten weeks of officer training at Quantico, (Continued on page 4) Scotty Parson's danceable music fills the pme-seented air=-glistenii\g snow banks surround you—a •heaven of stars twinkles above you — formally dressed couples glide between tables of laughing people.

The ambitious Sophomores are optimistically predincting the largest crowd, the best orchestra, the most beautiful decorations — in fact, the most successful dance ever at B.S.T.C. These are not only pipe dreams, however, for the hard working committees have been busy since President Fred DelMonte announced them several weeks ago. Grace Histed, head of the invitation committee, is aided by Janet Hughes, Sylvia Kraft, Nancy Sue Williams, and Janice Yozviak. The program committee consists of Alice Fisher, Joanne McCormick, and Pat Phillips, Frank Vacante and Hank Novak secured the orchestra.

About four y ears ago th e AAUW , the Association of American University Women, provided the inspiration for a growing art movement in Bloomsburg. This organization is also the sponsor of various literary, musical, and dramatic functions. It sponsored an evening art class at the high school and encouraged a large number of enthusiastic participants. The group, mostly beginners, started by wielding a paint brush and produced some promising water colors. Later, Mrs. Ralph Herre began to give lessons in her home to persons who were further interested in continuing their art work. Children 's classes, as well as ad u l t cl asses, are conducted throughout the year. A small group of ent h usiast i c artists , including Mrs. Anna Knight and Dr. Nell Maupin , now h ave fo rce d an evenin g grou p whi ch meets each Wednesday at 7:30 o'clock. Painting in oils has been the project for this year. After various sketchings had been made, the artists decided to work them in oils. Dr. Maupin , during a trip to New Orleans, was enhanced by the French Quarter, lusty with fiery tradition. From a sketching made while in. Louisiana, she has woven the color and pageantry iron gratings and sweeping balconcies into a painting worthy of praise to the deep South. Whi le vacationin g in M i nnesota , Mrs. Knight was inspired by the vast and rugged beauty of that portion of our country. From original drafts she had made, Minnesota landscape can now be seen as an oil painting. The general trend that the class seems to be following with their brushes and palettes is that of producing landscapes. ' Pennsylvania i,n winter has created for the artists' benefit crystal mountains laden with fi f trees, and brooks running with icy enchantment, just as the color ripples from the brush to a barren canvas. G.I. NEWS Pvt. John E. Rodeback learned techniques of amphibious warfare in the recent "Operation Sea Scape" at Little Creek, Va. Returning to Camp Drum , N.Y., with his unit, the 278th Regimental Combat Team, he now will prepare for "Exercise Snow Storm," which is scheduled for early 1953.

The taxi-length dress will vary slightly with the height of the wearer. Ten inches from the floor is it! This is longer than a ballerina yet shorter than ankle length. The taxi-length makes for easier packing, divine dancing, and pours in an d out of cars wi t h ease an d grace. This new hemline is a forma l dress an d correct f or all gala events. The fabrics for gowns this winter are excit i n g an d d efin i te ly sophisticated. Moire in pale, pale shades reflect the holiday spirit. Because of its elegance, moi re dresses are following simple patterns. Silks, satins, floating chiffons, and oodles of lace will grace our dance floors. Spikes of satin and linen dyed to matc h t h e gown are part of t he outfit too. The maze of straps will show off your bright pedicure an d demure ankle to its best advantage. The "Spanish idea " has taken hold of America's youth and you'll now see ruffles, heavy Spanish lace, jet embroidery, vivid colors and long torso lines. Long torso l inos are like the middy design of the yesteryear, only snug fitting and slim. Wonderful in accenting that tiny waistline.

Mary Jo Williams and Betsy Baer are busy sending Christmas cards from the Waller Hall Association to former Bloomsburg students who are now serving in the armed service. Thanksgiving Day, 1952, is really a day to remember for two Waller Hall girls. Mary Elizabeth Patton received her diamond from Alfred Marsllio, and Gloria Benner became engaged to Paul R.

Thus another season has ended. fMay the future campaign be as exciting and successful as the one j ust fp ast. As an added note, the Huskies mauled Lock Haven in a foot of tmud and water shortly before the Thanksgiving recess—way back then. fOnly a few Husky fans witnessed the battle, which was one of the best Jplayed and most thrilling tilts of the season considering the atmospheric ^condi tions that day. 1 The Shelly court wizards open their interesting seventeen game fcard on December 16 at Scranton. against the Royals from upstate. Head frnentor Shelly has an abundance of talent on hand , with more height Ithan usual, so the fans should be in for an excellent season and a campaign which I believe will find the local cagers copping State Teachers College honors. In a recent scrimmage at the Bucknell Bison court, the Huskies walloped Bucknell by more than twenty-five points. Millers\ ville, Lock Haven, and Lycoming should cause the Maroon and Gold the most trouble this season.

Final Standings Bloomsburg and Lock Haven exchanged positions in the standings as the former defeated the latter, 14-0 to bring the Pennsylvania State Teachers Colleges Football Conference to a close. Bloomsburg, last year's champion , finished in fourth position while Lock Haven dropped to seventh place. West Chester, the 1952 champion , gained 10 points by Bloomsburg's final victory. Even if Shippensburg had played and defeated Lock Haven the West Chester Rams would have won the title under the current point-scoring system. The Shippensbu rg-Lock Haven* game was cancelled early in the season due to a polio epidemic in Center County . The conference boasts of the only undefeated and untied teams in the state in its three top teams. Clarion will play in its first bowl game in the Lions' Bowl in Salisbury, N. C, Dec. 13.

For the past months the dribblers of Coach Harold Shelly have been running off extra weight and sharpening their shooting eyes for the coming season. Coach Shelly has nine returning let termen , six of whom are seniors, one a j unior, and two sophomores. Coach Shelly lost only two players from last years squad, one through graduation and one to the professional ranks. The two were Bill Byham and Chuck Daly, Kane boys who played a lot of basketball under Coach Shelly . Daly was the team 's leading scorer last year and Byham was the sparkplug of the squad. Both boys will be missed this year but should be able to be replaced by some of last year 's bench warmers. Of the returning nine lettermen, which include six seniors' three were starter s on last year 's squad. The returning first stringers are Doug Erickson , Dave Linkchorst and Albert Williams. Erickson is a 6*5" pivot man from Kane, who r elies on a deadly hook sh ot and is rough, tough under the boards. He came to Bloomsburg as a sophomore from Clarion S.T.C. but was ineligible that year because of the transfer rule. However, he came out last year and played some good basketball for the twelve time victorious Huskies. Linkchorst, a hard driving guard from Mahanoy City, is a three sport letterman. Link uses a 2handed> set shot from over the head as his main scoring weapon and is a sweet ball handler from his outside post. The other starter is Al Willi ams, a Nanticoke native. Al is about the best shot on the team and he should be the main cog in the very potent Husky attack. Al is a roly poly guard who loves to run on a fast break. The other three senior lettermen are Larry Ksanznak, Bob Gerhard, and Danny Boychuck. Larry is a speedy little guard from' West Hazleton who is always on the run. He has a variety of shots and can make good use of them when a couple of points are needed. Bob Gerhard is a 6'3" forward from Palmerton, who is the best rebounder on the team. Bob learned all his basketball here at B.S.T.C. and learned it well in such a short time. His tip-in baskets are exceedingly helpful when the other boys aren't hitting. Danny Boychuck, the other senior, hails from Shamokin and is a hard driving forward who likes to drive past his men and put in those underhand layups. He is also a very p ood j ump shot artist and a fine defensive man. Leaving the seniors we find only one junior on the squad, Jumping Joe Ondrula, the flashy forward from Johnstown.

Among the possible future Husky stars are Bob Evans, a 6'3" forward from Coal Township who is a good rebounder and defensive man; Harrison Morson, burly freshman from Radnor, a good shot and strong rebounder ; Pete Weiser, another Kane boy who is an excellent set shot from his guard position; Harvey Boughner, a hard fighting guard from Treverton who is a good man for setting up the plays; Sam Belle, a speedy forward from Williamsport who can snake his way around the court and slip the oval through the hoop with ease; Charles Skiptunas , a big rough forward from Kingston who can really throw his weight around to get possession of the ball ; and Larry Wilson, a 6'5" pivotman from Hatboro, who should develop into a terrific front court man.

It won't be long now until Mr. Shelley*and his agile basketball boys make their first appearance of the year on the floor of the Centennial gymnasium. The most recent rumor around school seems to be that this year's basketball team is destined for a championship. With a repeat performance of the school spirit shown at West Chester, I'm sure that we could very easily induce these ball-bouncing athletes to make that rumor come true. What do you say ? Don't forget to cheer when you get up there at those o-ames. After all, that fellow next to you may be only waiting for you to cheer first. *I* 1* V *F t* Something old, something new . . . You're all familiar, I believe , with the old proverb concerning a wedding which states that a bride should have something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. There's a pre-Thanksgiving occurrence that has put an entirely new slant on that adage which I think is worthy of all the space it is going to occupy. It seems that some of Tom Rowley 's mischievous 'friends found some OLD limburger cheese for which they contrived a NEW use, so they BORROWED it from the owner, entered Rowley's room , and smeared it over the victim's snoozing countenance. Shortly after the incident, I was on hand to interview the BLUE unfortunate of the foul play, and received a calm statement from him which appears below: "Even thought McCarthy is £lV2 feet tall, I'll break him in halves, then in quarters ! To the devil with t.b. ; pneumonia ~be hanged—he and his roommate will both go to the lagoon—escorted by me!" (For the benefit of those of you who are confused, Rowley is the assistant dean at North Hall; the lagoon is the fountain directly across from the laundry). When asked how he felt about practical jokes of this kind, Rowley replied that he thought they "stink." Need I say more ? * * * * * Good loungekeeping . . . And then there's another thing with which I'm sure you are all familiar—GOOD HOUSEKEEPING magazine. One of the best ideas I've heard for a long time is that of publishing a GOOD LOUNGEKEEPING magazine for those of us who use the upper deck of the lounge. Although that furniture is comparatively new, it is continuously abused, and regardless of previous warnings, students still insist upon taking food and drinks up there. Smokers no longer use the ashtrays for their butts and ashes — they find the floor much more convenient. You 'll all agree that the furniture we have is attractive, as well as comfortable; we're all old enough to realize the value of things today. Why not make an effort to do your part in GOOD LOUNGEKEEPING ? * * * * * Think about tliis . . . Books are like minds; they do more good when they are open. * * * * * Future pitchers of America . . . At last — the news you have been waiting so anxiously for! The results of that exciting snowball battle of "December 2, 1952, when the Waller Hall girls competed against the Waller Hall boys in a bitterly cold struggle for victory. The outcome proved that 9 out of 10 girls who took part in that contest could be, or will be, eligible for the big leagues as pitchers in the spring. The girls, incidentally, won by a landslide. (Or was it a snowslide?) Oh, well , just goes to show you— women can do anything that they put their minds to! And if you don 't believe m e, consult history for the stories of Madame Curie, Florence Nightingale, Joan of Arc, and Delilah.) * * * * * Something new lias been added . , . Most people find their Thanksgiving turkeys filled with stuffing. Gloria Benner, Liz Patton, and Lucky Pliscott apparently found theirs filled with something a little less fattening, and quite a bit more thrilling.
