Dr* North Serves
Bloomsburg for
Quarter-Century

Dr. Thomas P. North, popular
Dean of Instruction at Bloomsburg
State Teachers College, this year
celebrated his twenty-fifth year at
Bloomsburg.
Born in 1893 in Punxsutawney,
Pennsylvania, Dr. North received
his bachelor's degree from Pennsylvania State University in 1917,
and his master's degree from the
same institution in 1927. During
this intervening period, Dr. North
began his teaching career as a
science teacher and was one of
the commonwealth's first teachers
of vocational agriculture under
the provision of the Smith-Hughes
Act. In 1919 he became the supervising principal of a consolidated
school in Jefferson County.
In his desire for further education, he wasted no time in obtaining his Doctor of Philosophy degree from Cornell University in
1929. Immediately after his graduation , he replaced Prof. Oscar
Hugh Bakeless on the B. S. T. C.
faculty and is celebrating the
twenty-fifth anniversary of his arrival at the "friendly college" this
year.
Until 1941, Dr. North's skills
were utilized in the teaching field ,
particularly in the course in Introduction to Education , now designated as Professional Orientation
on the 1954 schedule cards.
Since 1941 Dr. North has devoted his time and efforts to improving the standards and ideals
of B. S. T. C. as its Dean of Instruction.
In Dr. North' s twenty-five enjoyable and profitable years on

Football Revue

The 1953 football campaign is
now history, but the memories of
that thrilling season will long be
remembered by the Mount Olympus faithful. The final record
showed six wins against two defeats, yet the real story can 't be
told in the cold figures of the winloss column. The story of a successful grid campaign must be told
by the efforts of the 30-odd men
that strove to make the Saturday
afternoons the exciting successes
that thev•» were.

Senior Slugger

Ron Steinbach
For the past four seasons, the
outfield of the Bloomsburg Huskies has been guarded by the able
legs and strong arm of Ron Stein*
bach. While attending Bethlehem
High School, Ronny earned two
varsity baseball letters and graduated in 1949 with an excellent .375.
Ron came to College Hill in the
f all of 1950 , enrolling in the business curriculum. Under Coach
Redman, Steinbach was able to
win his varsity letters in his freshman and sophomore years. He
turned his hand each fall to the
basketball court and the game
second only to baseball, intramural
basketball. Ron relaxes best at

University; Mike Lashendock at
quarter, another sophomore; Jimmy Browning, still another sophomore; and finally senior Barney
Osevala at fullback. That is the
pattern of backfield changes that
Yohe continued to make in an
effort to break up the passing
threat.
The highlight of the season came
when the Huskies made the longest football j ourney in the history
of the school, to New Haven,
Connecticut. This was one of the
hardest-fought of the fall classics
that we have had the pleasure to
watch since coming to Bloomsburg. Bloom scored on the first
play from scrimmage as Browning
went 52 yards. New Haven scored
on the right arm of the leading
passer in the nation's small colleges up to that time. New Haven
failed to convert after the score,
so they trailed 7-6. New Haven
fought right back, scoring again
on a forward pass, to take a 12-7
lead. Bloom marched back to the
one-foot line to be held on downs.
On the second play after taking
over, New Haven fumbled, and it
was Browning again to recover,
and Osevala carried over to give
us the fin al score, 14-12. Up until
half-time, New Haven had a perfect six for six in the passing department; in the second half , however, Yohe turned the trick with
his umbrella defense for the forward pass. The forward pass was
no longer a threat to Bloom defense.
After a week layoff , the big one
of the season was here — West
Chester. They were in first place
in the Teachers' College Conference, and since Bloomsburg was in
second place, this game was to
decide the champion. The school
was in a week-long celebration to
prepare for the game. On the
Huskies' second running play Jimmy Browning got loose j or a 34yard TD sprint that was to be
called back. Not long after that
he scored legally on a Lashendockthrown pass. Bloom had a first
quarter lead 7-0. The second quarter went much the same until the
last four minutes when the Rams •
pushed over two scores before
Bloom knew what had happened.
West Chester scored again late in
the fourth quarter but this was
only a finality. Final score—West
Chester 20, Bloom 7.
The last game of the season saw
the Bald Eagles of Lock Haven
travel to Mt. Olympus to be the
victim of another scoring spree.
As It was the last afternoon of the
season , Coach Yohe trotted no less
than sixteen backs on the field.
The highlight of the afternoon was
Barn ey Osevala 's last touchdown
as a Husky. This came after a 70yard run In which he stepped out
of bounds on the one. The next
play he scored, making it'an even
24 touchdowns for four years.
Score was Bloom 46, Lock Hav en

85th Anniversary

(Continued on page 4)
ed from a Harrisburg visit, he
brought with him the news that
Bloomsburg State Normal School
was now Bloomsburg State Teachers College.
In 1934, the first class matriculating as freshmen in the Department of Commerce in 19301 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 were recognized when the Bloomsburg State
Teachers College celebrated the
Eighty-fifth Anniversary of the
chartering of the Normal School of
the Sixth District at Bloomsburg.
Along with appropriate exercises
commemorat in g t h e ann iversar y of
teacher education , the College
dedicated the lighting of the clock
tower of Carver Hall to the former stu dents who ma de t h e su preme
sacrifice in World War II.
Dr. Francis B. Haas, a f ormer
president of the College and now
State Superintendent of Public Instruct ion was amon g t hose w ho
spoke 'during the program. Dean
Emeritus William Boyd Sutliff , Dr.
Elna H. Nelson, president of the
Alumni Association, and Reg. S.
Hem in gwa y , Esq., president of the
Board of Trustees were also included on the program.
Th ere was an Open. House in
Carver Hall from 2:30 until 4:30
Friday afternoon for students. The
newly - constructed offices were
open for inspection at that time.
The Columbia County Alumni
held their annual dinner in the
College dining room at 6:15 p.m.
Members of the Board of Trustees an d Gold Star parents were
guests of, the College for the
alumni dinner. Following the din*
ner there was Open House in Carver Hall and the newly-remodeled
Waller Lounge.
