85th Anniversar y Of Normal School To Be Celebrated It was a fortunate day for the residents of Bloomsburg when J. P. Wickersham, State Superintendent of Public Instruction , passed through this town on a fall morning in the year 1867. For it was then the Superintendent realized the ideal location of the Bloomsburg Literary Institute for a State Normal School. Upon returning to Bloomsburg, Dr. Wickersham expressed that opinion and, on March 9, 1868, a resolution was adopted stating an agreement to establish a State Normal School. , On February 19, 1869 , the school was formally recognized as the Bloomsburg State Normal School and! Literary Institute. This was the beginning of teacher education in Bloomsburg. When, in May, 1927, Dr. G. C. L. Riemer, President of the Bloomsburg State Normal School returned from a Harrisburg visit, he brought with him the news that Bloomsburg State Normal School was now Bloomsburg State Teachers College. Bloomsburg has indeed grown from the original Literary Institute. In 1934 , the first class matriculating as freshmen in the Department of Commerce in 1930 was graduated and found ready placement in the high schools of Pennsylvania and adjoining states. Since that time thousands of students have graduated from Bloomsburg and have entered the teaching profession. Therefore on Feb. 19 eighty-five years of service as a teacher-education institution will be recognized when the Bloomsburg State Teachers College will celebrate the Eighty-fifth Anniversary of the chartering of the Normal School of the Sixth District at Bloomsburg. Along with appropriate exercises commemorating the anniversary of teacher education, the College will also dedicate the lighting of the clock tower of Carver Hall to the former students who made the supreme sacrifice in World War II. Dr. Francis B. Haas, a former president of the College and now State Superintendent of Public Instruction, will be among those who will speak during the program now being planned for the event.

As far as we in Bloomsburg are concerned, there are two classes of licenses: Class B—for auditorium projection of entertainment pictures; class D — for pr oj ection of educational films in the classroom. For an auditorium license it will be necessary to pay a fee of $3. and the projectionist must take an examination conducted by the Department of Labor and Industry. This includes the showing of motion p ictures in the auditorium on Friday nights. it is planned that men working in the Audio-Visual Aids library will be licensed to show pictures. They are Richard Deets, Will ard Snyder, and Jack Bushey. Mr. Henry will also secure a license. All students and teachers showing pictures of an educational nature in the classroom must be registered with the Department of Labor and Industry . No charge is made for registration and a card is issued which is valid for two years. As a requirement in the Audio-Visual Education course, all students must register. No examination will be given, but students must be in a school where Audio-Visual Education is a part of the school curriculum.

Lock Haven Falls Pre y to Shellymen In Home Court Fra y Husky Hardwooders Subdue Mansfield The hardwood Huskies kept to their winning ways by dropping the Mansfield Mountaineers, 89-74, before a partisan crowd in Centennial Gym. Saturday 's victory gave the College Hill lads a five and one record and third place in the Teachers College standings. The game was a onesided affair throughout, with the visitors coming to within five points of the Huskies only once. In four minutes Bloom built a 11-1 lead, which they held until the end of the first period. Joe Linkoski, the Mountaineer center, scored eleven poin ts in the first quarter to help hi s team move to within six counters of the Huskies at the end of the period. In the second quarter Jerry Kopec was a constant threat to the Mansfield defense as "he scored repeatedly on drive-ins. Although Bloom controlled both boards, they couldn't stop Linkoski from keeping the visitors in the game with his scoring efforts. The Wyoming Valley product was high man for the evening with 24 points, followed by t he Hu skies "Jittery " Joe Ondrula who had 19, and Len Kozick and Jerry Kopec each with 18. Husky coach , Harold Shelly, used his reserve strength in the second half , to good advantage, and Bloom started to run away with the game. "Mighty Mo" Mqrson excelled on rebounds while also chipping in seventeen points to help the cause. It was Morson, scoring on hook shots, that gave the Huskies a 68-54 edge at the third quarter. In the final period the Mountaineers threatened but could pull to within only nine points of the Shellymen. It was Morson again picking off the rebounds as the Huskies compiled a fifteen point lead , and won going away. The final score was 89-74 in favor of the Huskies. In the preliminary, contest the Husky pups won a thriller from the Hazleton Penn State Center, 44-41. Bloomsburg State Teachers Huskies had an easy time with Lock Haven Tea chers as t hey won 93-70. Joe Ondrula led the pack with 20 while his teammates Betz, Kozick, Kopec, and Morson also hit for double figures. Mike Yelovich and Len Sawder had 33 between them for the losers. In the first period the only threat to the Huskies was Lenny Sawder and his perfected jumpshot off the foul circle. He hit five for five in the first period. Mike Yelovich , who was high man, didn't connect until later but he was consistent in his rebounding. Most of the fan s recognize Mike, a FellTownship boy, from last year 's track meet here at B.S.T.C. (Mike is a terrific shot-putter. ) The half-time score was 47-37.

West Chester was in command of the scoring from the opening tap-off , and maintained a comfortable lead throughout the game to the extent that the Huskies were never a real threat until the last three ' minutes of play when they started to peck away at an eighteen-point West Chester lead. As advertised, Teddy Beck, a six-foot-five center, and little Junie Rich were the big guns in the scoring column. The point-getting laurels of the evening, however, went to an unexpected starter in the Emil Messikomer lineup, Karl Schaffer, a six-foot-four .forward who took the locals to task for no less than 27 points. Beck and Rich each had over twenty. Jerry Kopec was the only Husky who was hitting with consistency for the evening as he ended up ' with 18 points. Joe Ondrula had sixteen, and Freddy Betz, 13. The Huskies couldn't penetrate the R ams' defense to cause any concern in the first half. Karl * Schaffer and Teddy Beck each had three fouls on them at the end of the first quarter, but managed to stay in the game until the fourth quarter when Beck got the fatal fif th. Rebounding and foul shooting played an all-important part in the victory for the Chester County Tutors as they dumped in 23 for 26 at the free throw line and controlled both the defensive and offensive boards throughout. Orily Jerry Kopec, the Forty Fort flash , could get any rebounds off the West Chester boards. This victory knocked the Huskies from second place in the Teachers College conference; they may have been replaced by the victorious West Chester five.

Take each game in the order they come. That has been the system employed this season by Coach Harold Shelly in the quest of the Teachers College Basketball crown, and it has proved to be successful to date. On Febr uary 3, it was Cheyney Teachers at Cheyney, a tough game for any team. As a general rule, Cheyney is tough at home no matter what calibre of team they may field. The Cheyney gym is about as long as the Centennial Gym is wide, and the court is the stage for their auditorium. Cheyney has proved to be the friendliest of the teams we have visited thus far. After the game they invited us to their student lounge for a lunch, which even filled Bush up; that's really going some! The thing that impressed us the most was the singing of the Alma Mater after the game. Students, faculty, and even the team remained in the auditorium, locked hands with each other and sang what seemed to be about four verses of a very beautiful spiritual-like arrangement. During the game, which at times was as close as three points and was as exciting as any we have seen here on College Hill, Cheyney had a number of fouls called against them. At this time we never heard any remarks directed at the officials from this highly enthusiastic jthrong; a complete silence fell over them when any Husky was on the foul line. We hope the local faithful will try and return that courtesy when they visit Bloomsburg. TOURNAMENT TIME . . . Plans have been laid for one of the leading events on the athletic calendar, the annual High School Invitation Basketball Tournament, which is scheduled to get under way the first weekend in March. The Tournament Director, Mr. John Hoch, originated this very popular event a few seasons back, and the event has rrtoshroomed in size until the Class C division this year is expected to entertain a record 16 teams. The qualifying round of this division will get under way March 5 and 6. The first Class A and B tilts have been held off the schedule until the 12th and 13th in order to allow time for the District Playoffs in the PIAA to gain momentum. Invitation feelers have been sent to 125 teams within a 50-mile radius of the Bloomsburg area in order to determine how many teams are interested in applying for entrance in the postseason tournament. The semi-finals and finals will be run on* on the nights of March 17 and 18 respectively. The finals or Night of Champion as it has been tabbed in the past, will see the crowning of the champions in each division and the selecting of the all-tournament team of ten players from all classes. In addition to an all-tournament team, an outstanding player is chosen. Last season Frank Ramrio of Weatherly, whose team also won the Class A division, was selected as the outstanding player in the tournament; this year Frank is an outstanding member of the frosh squad at Steton Hall. Three members of this seaon's Huskies team were selected on the all-tournament teams of past years. In 1950, Jerry Kopec was picked while playing with the Forty Fort Flyers. In 1952, Harv Boughner of Trevorton was worthy of the selection, and last year, Len Kozick of Dallas Township got the nod for his outstanding play. Danny Boychuck was a selection in the '49 tournament, and came back to College Hill to follow up with four years of varsity play for the Huskies. Another phase of this basketball circus is the cheerleader awards. . Each basketball team is followed not only by their hometown fans, but their fellow students — the cheerleaders. Awards have been given each season for the originality and performance of these leather-lunged followers; the competition becomes quite interesting.
