Above and Beyond the Call . .

"W hat is so rare as a day in June?" So goes a line from a
long-loved poem. Indeed , what will be so rare as a day in June—
this June'—when in integral part of our college community l eaves
for a rest long-earned.
Dr. Marg uerite Kehr , Dean of Women for twenty-five years
at Bloomsburg, will retire from her position to reside in Washington , D. C, where she will lead a life of rest and leisure.
If Bloomsburg State Teacher s College awarded a medal
for leadership and service, Dr.
Kehr would be decorated with
one upon which would be engraved: "awar d ed f or service
above and beyond the call of
d uty ".
Her job has been a difficult
one , and the decisions which
she has been called upon to
make have been even more difficult. Though they may h ave
seemed harsh at the moment
time has proved them just and
fair. Her long-range plannings
and on-the-spot judgments have
benefitted indirectly one an d all.
The college community will
lose not on ly an instructor and
dean , but a friend and guide.
Gone will be the keen mind that
knew the shortcuts throug h the
red - tape j u n g l e s of College
Council; gone will be the cheery
smile and the deep understanding that lightened the load of many
a worried mind.
But with the sorrow that accompanies Dr . Kehr 's de pa rture
comes the realization that every job dutifull y performed has its
own promising reward.
When at last she closes the door upon her life-long career and
leaves the friendl y college on the hill , it will be proper and fitting
to say "Well done , thou good and faithful servant. "

"HATS OFF TO
THE OLD PRO"

Speakers Chosen

This afternoon will be the last
chance for you loy al Husky rooters to watch B.S.T.C.'s old pro,
Dave Linkchorst, in action. Dave
will be playing his last game in a
Husky uniform today, and then
will step down to write finis to
as sterling an athletic career as
has been compiled up here on the
hill.
Dave first came to Bloomsburg
in the fall of '48 and played his
share in bringing the Husky footballer 's through the season undefeated with a 9-0 record. Dave no
sooner shed his cleats than he tied
one pair of sneaks and began to
be a wizard on the basketball
court. He left school in January
but returned again in the fall of
'50 to play a strong role in another
successful grid campaign. Dave
took another crack at basketball
at the close of the football season,
and wound up a rather" busy year
by nailing down the third base
slot on the Husky baseball team.
Dave, or Link, as he is known
by his teammates, continued his
busy pace the last two years and

(Continued from page 1)
at Yale in 1937 and Jerved at that
post until 1946. fie served as
chairman of the department of religion in 1946, master of Calhoun
College of Yale in J942, lecturer of
Bible literature at Bowdoin from
1934-37, on the American Red
Cross, and as a trustee of Wellesley College. A member of the
Delta Kappa Epsilon, Dr. Schroeder has written two books—"The
Task of Religion", published in
1936, and "Modern Man and the
Cross", published in 1940.
The Baccalaureate Sermon is
scheduled for Sunday afternoon ,
May 24, 1953, and the Commencement Exercises will be held Monday morning, May 25, 1953.
after the game this afternoon he
will have earned his ELEVENTH
varsity award in the three sports
combined. This is probably the
best athletic record ever compiled
here at B.S.T.C. and should stand
as a goal worth sighting for future
Husky athletes.

Baseball
After the last run has scored,
the last out made, and the last
cheer fades, just as it does every
season , the Huskies can review
what has been a supcessful season
for all concerned. 1953 gave the
Baseball Huskies a new coach,
new players, and above all a winning season.
Jack Yohe took over the baseball reins this season with a veteran packed infield , an outfield that
needed shaking-up, pitchers that
needed experience (and of course
the usual bottle of rubbing alcohol), a weak catching staff that
strengthened as the season wore
on , and worked them together into
a team that gave the fans a lot
of thrills as they won four league
games against two defeats.
The season opened when the
team j ourneyed to Wilkes-Barre
to play the Colonels of Wilkes
College. After the feathers stopped flying and the dust had settled ,
the Huskies walked off the victors
by an 11-6 count. Coach Yohe
picked a freshman, Charley Kwiatkoski , to do the chucking and the

6 hits while his teammates pounded out 13 hits for his cause.
The team then went to Lock Haven to meet the Bald Eagles in the
first of their two encounters of the '53 season. Port-sider Rudy Holtzman was the victim of an 11-9 decision. The Huskies out hit their
teacher rivals but were forced to take a backseat to Coach Yohe s
Alma Mater.
In the first home game of the season the stands were filled with the
Bloomsburg loyal despite a very cold and windy day. The Huskies celebrated their return to Mt. Olympus by pounding the Royals of the
University of Scranton 5-4. The game was dramatically won in the
home half of the last inning with two men on and two out, the score

Water , water, everywhere . . .
It's been heard around campus that the boys of North Hall have

from the bucket brigade, eh, Nemetz ?

It's yours — no amusement tax . . .
Old man sun says it's time to begin work — work which involves
tanning millions of gorgeous women all over the U. S. this summer.
( Pretty nice work, eh, Kaz?) The terraces here at Bloom are already
packed with luscious bathing beauties (sun-bathing, of course, whether
they are near water or not) . Of the many gals who retreat to the terraces each afternoon to sop up some good old Vitamin D, there are
several types. Let's see if you can identify them by name after 's you 've
read a brief description of a few of them :
1. The bashful type : She covers up with her raincoat until she
reaches the far end of the terrace. After she is out of the range
of the binoculars which are peering glaringly from the boys'
dorm, she proceeds to unrobe. When the raincoat has been removed, she appears, fresh and lovely, in her Bloomsburg Huskies
sweat shirt and baggy dungarees. If the thermometer moves in
the direction of 96 degrees, she may consider removing the sweat
shirt, so that she can bathe daringly in her sleeveless blouse—
HORRORS !
2. The Marilyn Monroe type: Need I say more ? Why else the
binoculars from the boys' dorm ?
3. The model: Fifi has j ust purchased a new strapless-j ob suit.
Needless to say, she will make numerous trips back to the dorm
to pick up things she has forgotten. She has an enormous thirst,
so she will doubtless make a few dozen trips to the lounge for a
coke. By the time she has spent an hour on and off the terraces,
everyone on campus knows that she has a new bathing suit, and
she is satisfied until wext year. Incidentally, she h a tes su nburns,
and despises tans — her freckles show!

"Fun is where you find it," says Joe Kwak. Well at least he said so
once upon a time. Seems Joe was having a bit of fun dampening people's
clothes with a squirt gun. The difficulty was that the people still had
the clothes on. Yes, Joe was hanging out the window, having the time
of his life with his new squirt gun , when some wise guy sneaked up
behind him and tapped him on the shoulder. (Imagine that!) With that,
Joe turned quickly and let him have both barrels of H20. He never
stopped shooting, either, until he turned completely; only to find that
the wise guy was none other than Mr. Yohe. We'll miss you around here,
Joe.

Reflection . . .
I am about to embark upon my fourth year here at B.S.T.C, and
still there remains a great mystery unsolved. The old tradition states
that women are the greatest talkers, make t h e most noise, and can keep
their mouths shut for the shortest length of time than any other human
being. ( For your information, there are two types of humans ; men are
humans, too). To make a long story short, women have never risen up
in arms against this accusation, but still the men are put up in front
of the auditorium ; while the women are allowed to sit in the rear, fr ee
to talk as much as they desire. Could it be that tradition has hit a foul
ball ? Just for once, I think she has. What' s your pMess, girls? I say
down with the tradition or up in front of the auditorium with the
women !
