WELC OME TO THE 1954 HOMECO MING I BSTC Honors Her Nurfierous Authors By. Librar y Display SPIRIT OF HOMECOMING It is not long since you As Freshmen came up College Hill To work and play where nearby the Susquehanna flows Since time was old and things were still. Like you, others saw beauty with each season pass. Colors-green in summer everywhere Then brown leaves fall and white snow drifting down Until only pine and hemlock were not bare. Year after year now students came and went Un t il, you too, were here in this long file But soon you will go and others come Who in their turn will only stay awhile. But, in a way, you do not go from here. For every student leaves something here behind. Something that lingers after they are gone Something that lingers on in every mind. Bloomsburg has taken the opportunity of this Homecoming Day to honor the many authors among her faculty, alumni and students. A colorful display featuring many of these authors has been set up in the college library, and some of each writer's work has been included in the display so that students and Homecoming Day visitors may see the fascinating materials and varied content of the publications. Although every effort was made to get information on each author, it was not possible in every case. Anyone having additional information is asked to notify the Maroon and Gold, and this material will be used in the planned future articles on individual writers. Included in the library display are the publications of many of our current faculty and administation heads. For example, Burgess Business Law by President Andruss, Growing in. Citizenship by Mr. Barton, and Bowe Typing by Mr. Rygiel. Also displayed are What Happens Is by Mrs. Marie Colt Reese, who is a B.S.T.C. graduate and has written this amusing book ? about Mrs. Clarice Hummel, another BSTC graduate, and alumna Eleanor Sands Smith's book of poetry, St. Martin's Summer. A famous BSTC writing team is Mr. and Mrs. John Bakeless. Our library contains five books by Mr. Bakeless, including books about Daniel Boone and Christopher Marlowe. Mrs. Bakeless (nee Little) has written several books such as Story Lives of Great Composers, and Birth of a Nation's Song. Two members of the class of 1954 had magazine articles published: David Newbury breaking into "The Commonwealth" with Danville's Iron Past, and Al Chis(Continued on page 4) Phi Sig Pledgees Will Entertain Homecomers The men's honorary educational fraternity , Phi Sigma Pi , held its regular monthly meeting on October 7 in the social rooms of And so you go, but still you stay behind.

Sally Stallone Student Opinion FRESHMAN ORIENTA TION Colleges and universities have all opened for the fall session and students by the thousands have "had their first taste of higher learning. A great many institutions, nearly all, we probably should say, make a special effort to prepare the freshmen for what amounts to a brand new life. The process of endeavoring to set freshmen on the right path in college is usually called orientation, which means in effect getting into right relationship to the people and things around you. As 9 general rule the better part of a week is dedicated to orienting first-year students, and it is none too long a time, at that. The average freshman at college is being asked to bridge one of the widest and most i mportant gaps that will come along in his experiences. As a senior in high school, he was something of a so-called Big Shot* As a freshman in college he will be the lowliest of the lowly. The transition is swift and substantial, and it calls for majo r adju stments. Ordinarily, too, the boy or girl from elementary school through high school is constantly supervised, advised, urged, prompted and admonished. At home and at school someone is very apt to be expressing curiosity as to whether class work has been done, and if n ot , why not, and all that sort of thing. Discipline, in a word, is visible, audible and at times tangible. Entrance into college means that the student is far more largely on his own. It is assumed he will do what he is supposed to do, and a violent assumption it may be. The student can also come and go pretty much as he pleases, set his own hours of work and play, appoint his own sorts and periods of recreation. As far as many freshmen know, no one is checking on anything, though the contrary is emphatically true. Fortunate the student who takes the trouble to realize the need for orientation and makes the required effort to acquire it. Meantime the» colleges and universities are to be commended for their increasing consciousness of their obligation to do whatever they ggn to bridge the chasm between being a high school senior and a college freshman. Behind Close d Door s by Ken Weir By this time, many uninformed upperclassmen have told their Freshmen counterparts that College Council is an organization that during the course of the college year becomes so bogged down with red tape, that nothing is accomplished by the group. Nothing could be farther from the truth. With the help of the other twenty-six members of Council, I will attempt to show you what the Council does and to introduce to you some of the people and the problems that they bring along to our meetings on the second and fourth Monday of each month. First I want to assure you that each of us has the sincere desire to express the ideas of every Carl Campus and Cathy Co-ed at BSTC. Roongo and the squirrels have few problems compared to those that occur among us humans entren ched on College Hill. There seems to be no limit to the requests that come to each meeting. For instance at the first meeting we carried no less than ten items of business. We approved our budget and set the time of our bi-monthly meetings. Then it was decided that the College Council should eat as a group in the Dining Room before each meeting. The scheduling of an all-college record dance on Wednesdays from 8:30 to 10:00 p.m. was approved and placed on the campus calendar. Since the Bookstore is in the process of moving to Navy Hall , it was decided to distribute the tickets for the four Civic Concerts that are held at the local hi gh school to the students as they leave the last assembly prior to the concert. A committee was appointed to study the attendance and interest in those worthwhile concerts. Attendance has been low, but the quality of the programs is usually very high ; the lack of support is hard to understand. We must realize that we could not obtain nearly as much for our money if we were not cooperating with the local townspeople in bringing such artists to BJoomsburg, We were told that the policy of the Saturday afternoon Open House at the gym would begin at the close of the football season. It looks as If our first Splash Party will be on the fourth of December. Just as some anxious soul was about to move that we adj ourn, the problem of Customs came to the front. To make a very long What 's Your Opinion? by Judy Ulmer A colorf ul new fashion has appeared on the campuses of colleges and universities throughout the nation — Bermuda shorts. When asked "What do you think of Bermuda shorts?" , the following BSTC students replied: Sally Stallone: "They 're dear! However, in order to wear them well , one 's legs can 't be too long, too sho rt , too heavy or too thin— so let's face it girls—even though we hate to admit it , there are few of us who do not fit into one of those catagories. " Bernadine Butz: "I can 't see anything wrong with wearing them on campus for special events, but I disapprove of wearing them downtown." Jo Atkinson : "No t on ly do I think they 're real cute, but I also thi nk they 're here to stay on college campuses. They make a very neat appearance." • Bob Arbogast: "Bermuda shorts are not the most feminine apparel to hit the market, but I do think they do j ustice to tall women." Nancy Sue Williams: "I think th ey 're fine for relaxing in the dorm. I particularly like the gray flannel ones—they're very attractive." Evelyn Weaver: "I think Bermuda shorts are the proper thing to wear to those certain sports events. Th ey can be combined with sweaters and blazers to give a girl a neat appearance. " Dick Strine: "Bermuda Shorts definitely belong more in Blooms.burg than in Bermuda. Incidentally, my favorite color is charcoal." Ken Weir: "Some other small schools that at first did not allow Bermuda shorts have now realized that they are here to stay. Just as guys laughed at white bucks when they firs t came out, we all wear them now. I predict that in a few years Bermuda shorts will bo widely accepted among guys. I do not advocate wearing them to dinner or to classes, but I definitely think they have a place on campus for casual wear, why must we be different?" story comparatively short, we stayed until 7:55 p.m. discussing The various angles of our Freshmen Customs. We felt that the genial President got things off to a good start. We talked about a lot of things in that hour and twenty-five minutes. Ed kept things moving along In a way that deserved the title, "Mister President." "Turn slightly more to the left. That's it! Now, hold that pose." Probably through a similar experience, m any of the st uden ts of BSTC came to meet Keith McKay, editor of the 1955 Obiter, BSTC's yearbook. A native of Harrisburg, Keith graduated from Swatara Township High School in 1951 and came to Bloomsburg in the fall of the same year. While in high school, Keith followed a j ournalistic interest, being feature editor of the high school paper for two years, and edito r of the senior yearbook. He was also class president for three years, beginning with his sophomore class. Besides his political and journal istic attractions , Keith was vocally inclined. He became a member of the Men 's Chorus and the Mixed Choir and encouraged many of his iriends to join the organizations. Keith' s interests are all-inclusive—painting and sketching, photography, swimming, and 'j ournalism. He also has a fine collection of Operettas at home, but this doesn 't prevent him from being an avid sports fan. It was only logical that when Keith came to college, his interests would come with him. He immediately won the trust of his fellow classmen and was elected president of his freshman class. With his experience and love for photography, Keith became staff photographer for the Maroon & Gold. This past spring saw the results of Keith's hard work with the black box and flashbulbs — the the Photographic Salon which is destined to become one of the main attractions of Alumni Day. His other activities while on "the Campus on the Hill" include: Fire Drill Committee Chairman, Men 's Chorus, Bloomsburg P l a y e r s , Chairman of the Obiter Co-ed Cont est, and a member of the two fraternities for which he is eligible —Phi Sigma Pi, and Kappa Delta Pi. Upon graduating, Keith hopes to teach biology; that is, if a certain Uncle by the name of Sam does not have some other "position " available. With his variety of talents and interests, Keith should do well in any situation. Good luck, Keith, from all at the "Friendly College en the Hill". DAY WOMEN S ' NEWS by Bertie Knouse Well, we're all pretty well back into the swing of things, now t h at the first frantic weeks of the new school year are over. We've renewed fri end ship s with all of t h e old gang, and already have made some new friends. We've said hello to the old familiar halls and rooms, and found a few changes for the better. For instance, the girls ' day room looks fresh as a daisy with the crisp new drapes. They 're a cheerful green print, and make the room look so elegant. The kingsize green bulletin board is a much needed improvement , since much of the girls ' correspondence with the rest of the college depends on it. New lockers right in the room are convenient, and a new arrangement of the furniture makes the room look much more spacious. The first social event of the new year for the Day Women 's Association was the tea held Wednesday, September 8, in honor of the twenty-five new students. The tea was planned by the social chairman, Shirley Redline, and committe members : Diann Jones, Carolyn Yost, Janet Wintersteen , and Nancy Hyde. There were short speeches by the adviser of Day Women, Miss Margaret Waldron , and the president , Pat Hartman. Pat welcomed the girls to the day room and Introduced the other officers, who are vice-president, Carol Nearing; secretary, Juno Reese; treasurer, Nancy Ebersole ; house chairman, Lovell Lindenmuth; social chairman , Shirley Redline; publicity chairman, Arlene Rando ; social service chairman , Hope Home. Punch and cookies were served. Many of the girls are still talking about the wonderful summer they had. Mollie Hippensteel, Nancy Hyde, Gloria Buckley, and Alice Eyer came back brown as berries from working in Atlantic City. Nancy Oberdorf went with her family on a motor trip to Denver, Colorado and spent a wonderful two weeks touring midwostern US, Dlann Jones was counselor at the Woods School for mentally retarded children. Peggy Bartges and a girl friend organized a day camp for children at Sunnybrook Park in Danville. And of course, man y TOP to TOE by TU CKY As the change of seasons brings a variation in weather, it also brings variation in types of clothes. As we look around the campus, we see the once green leaves putting on a disguise of red , yellow, orange, and brown hues. Our co-eds on campus seem to be carrying out this same pattern and basing their fall wardrobe on the colors of Mother Nature. The versatility of winter cottons is in evidence this year with Nancy Sue Williams carrying out the perfect example in a very light grey cotton with bright vertical stripes of various colors running through it. A white pique trim on the cuffs and at the neck highlight a really attractive outfit. I see that Olli Bynack has her eye on winter cottons this year also. She looked very smart on her way to class in a medium grey, two-piece combination with pleated skirt and a matching top, the top had stripes of red and deep grey forming a V in the front and back. Felt skirts seem to be a popular addition to the wardrobe this season. I saw Carol Shupp in a pleated marine-blue skirt, quite full , with shades of brown running through in a criss-cross pattern. Beverly Bryan also made a pretty picture topping a full black felt skirt with a pink jersey illu strating the contrast of light and dark colors. Olive green is a prominent shade this season. Joan Christie seemed to have this in mind the other day when she sported a trim green suit consisting of a short j acket and straight, tailored skirt. The Hedgerow Theatre play brough t out a lot of arden worshipp ers of the "finer ar t s". It also brought out a lot of ardent woring wear. You couldn't help but notice Susie Hughes in a very pretty velvet outfit. The j acket is a very bright plaid trimmed in black velvet, with a black velvet skirt to match. Sally Stallone also made a very striking appearance in her toastbrown knit suit. She added a pearl choker at the throat to make her outfit twice as pretty. Compliments to these and many others of our co-eds who are making BSTC a very attractive place this fall. Education Books Now in Library Many new books enter our college library each month, and it is only fitting that the student body should be informed about those of special interest to prospective teachers. Here are j ust a few gems for education students: These Are Your Children by Jenkins, Shacter, and Bauer This is a book for both parents and teachers, present and prospective. It is concerned with the development and adjustment of the child ; it provides physical-psychological descriptions of all aged children—fro m infants to adults Suggestions are given for teaching the child how to get along with others and yet remain true to himself. Quackery in the Public School* by Alfred Lynd This book contains a forthright attack upon malpractice in public education. Mr. Lynd maintains education has been taken over by the "Educationalists," a group of super-professionals , who are remodeling the schools to suit themselves. This book is most definitely recommended for prospective teachers, for the ideas presented in it will certainly be encountered by all teachers. 500 Ideas For the Grade Teacher by Echgren and Flshel This book is a veritable "gold mine " of information for any elementary teacher who wishes to make her classes more interesting. It firis the need of teachers for fresh appealing material In their work by supplying ideas that add zest, variety, and fun to subje ct matter. It consists of activities such as handicraft , puzzles, riddles, and games for classroom and playground activities. of the girls attended summer school. The first Individual party held Jn the day room was on the occasion of Hope Home's twenty- Where Two or Three Are Gathered In My Name ? ? ? The Wesley Fellowship started off it's new season with a succession of organization and planning meetings. The first , h eld on t he third Monday in September at the Methodist Church, was a get-acquainted program with twenty members present. The next meeting, mainly a business meeting, was held on the first Monday of October. Not too many students turned out for that meeting either, but those twenty eager Methodists did some planning. Here's the outcome—the new officers are : president, Curtis English; vicepresident , Mary Jane Trefsger ; secretary and treasurer , Barb ara Berry. Their adviser is Mr. Chas. Henry. The members of Wesley Fellowship like large numbers and lots of fellowship so they 're inviting you to a hayride to be held on October 18. All college students are welcome. The price will be fif ty cents per person, which includes a ride to a country church outside of Numedia and plenty of substantial refreshments. So be on Long Porch at 7:00 p.m. next Monday. Now Knox Fellowship is different; the Presbyterians invite all the Presbyterian faculty members to their meetings—and believe me it's a success. They have doubled the membership of last year. First, meeting, held September 20, 1954, wa s a p icnic supper at a cottage at a nearby creek. After an evening of sharing kichen duty and discussions, dungaree clad girls rode home in faculty member's cars. The second meeting was held on October 4, 1954 , at which time the following officers were elected: chairman, Victor Michael ; vicechairman, Ross Bartelson ; secretary-treasurer, Joan Reider. Their adviser is Reverened Varre Cummins. All the meetings are planned as dinner meetings at the homes of faculty members or at the Manse, and you'll never guess just what kind of a program they voted in—one of speakers and discussions—and they enj oy it. The Newman Club met for the first time this year on Wednesd ay, October 13, 1954, at 7:30 p.m. in St. Columba's Hall. New members were introduced and the following offi cers began their duties: president, Ronald Krafj ack; vicepresident, John Panichello ; secretary, Marion Duricko; treasurer, Hubert Smoczynski. Their advisers are Monsignor Burke and Mr. Rygiel. The program for the year was outlined and a decision was made to meet only one Wednesday night a month rather than two. What is Newman Club lacking? You don 't have to have large numbers, even if they are available, to have a working and active group. The Lutheran Student Association proves this. Their fifty members had a dinner meeting on September 20 to get acquainted and another on October , when Pastor Singer spoke ; but they still aren't organized. They are planning a meeting at a nearby cottage on October 25 to plan the present year. They do have officers though ; they elected them last year. They are : president , Richard Bittner; vice-president, Charlotte Rummage ; secretary, Betty Hoffman ; treasurer , Jean Griffiths. Mr. Clayton Hinkel is the adviser. The Reformed College Fellowship delayed their first meeting because of the death of Reverened Schnorr. Its first meeting was held on October 13 at the Evangelical and Reformed Church. The program was a business meeting for the purpose of organization , with games and refreshments following. The new officers are : president, Doris Brown; vice-president , Mary Romig Rager; treasurer, Willar Snyder; secretary, Christine Boop, Mrs. Walter Nealy is the adviser. Will the Reformed Fellowship be able to keep up with the hayrides and discussion-dinner meetings of 1 he other fellowships ? I hear they hnve homemade ice cream at their meeting; now ther's an attraction . The least news comes from the Canterbury Club of St. Paul's Episcopal Church. Believe it or not , they 're still looking for a convenient meeting night. Remember—"For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I In the midst of thorn." —Saint Matthew : 18-20 first birthday. Hope received many gif ts, and those enj oying the birthday get-to-gether with her were : Mollie Hippensteel, Carolyn Yost, Allone Burlingame, Diana Brewer, Laura Jane Unger, Marilyn Ruth , and Cora Gill.

Olympus with the Huskies playing host to " the Mansfield Mountaineers. It was t h e first game of t h e season for both clubs. The openin g minutes of the game saw Bloomsburg 's Harvey Bou gh ner return th e visitors' kick off to the Bloomsburg 35. In two plays the Huskies picked up 40 yards on runs by Alex Boychuck ; and Jim Browning, but Brown} ing's run was nullified and the i Huskies were forced to kick. Cocaptain Bob Cumens ' ..first attempt was blocked but Mansfield' s over 1 anx iousness cost t h em fi ve y ar ds an d Bob's second try rolled dead on the three. On their first play from scrimma ge t h e Mounta ineers' quarterback, Joh n Zimmerman , tr i ed to cross the Bloom def ense wi t h a spot pass, but alert tackle, Harry Hughes, from Williamsport , picked it out of the air and stepped over the goal for the first Huskie score. With the Huskies' extra poi nt sp ecial ist , Charlie Casper , sidelined with an injury, Cumens was i called on for the chore and he split the uprights to give Bloomsburg a 7-0 lead. The Mountaineers were in possession again but they found the Huskie defense a i r ti gh t an d were forced to punt. Right end, Bobby Cumens, who had his first kick blocked , rushed in to return the deed. Bob Stroup, Huskie left end , recovered the ball on the visitor 's 15 yard line. I i i1 ¦ ' Senior center tor trie .HusKies , Ed Connolley, of Dan v ille, was injured on the play and removed from the game. X-rays revealed that Ed had a broken tibia and will be out the remainder of the season. It's a tough break (no pun intended) for both Ed and the Huskies. Al Boychuck displayed a little razzle-dazzle as he broke loose to the two and then on the next play Harv Boughner hit pay dirt. Cumens added the point and Bloom led 14-0. A clipping penalty against the Mountaineers on the kick-off placed the ball on the one-yard line. After picking up a first down the visitors ' machine stalled and John Kutney went into punt formation. Instead of kicking, he elected to run and was immediately smothered on the five by a host of Huskies. This time Jim Browning, Bloomsburg 's all-state back , was called on to lug the leather and he fulfilled his j ob by scampering the five to score.

Huskies Topple Cortland 26-13 Alert play and hard running gave the Maroon and Gold a welldeserved victory at Mt. Olympus last Saturday , beating Cortland Teachers of N. Y. 26-13. Sparked by the running of Jim Browning, the M e c h a n i c s b ur g flash, and Alex Boychuck, the boys of BSTC foug ht from a 6-0 deficit in the early minutes of the game to score three TD's in the first half , and another in the third quarter to gain the decision. In the first quarter, after grabbing a Bloomsburg fumble, it took four plays for the Red Dragons of t h e Empire State to score , with the scoring play a pass from Dick Powell to Jim Bentley. Cortland missed the extra point attempt . Th e Huskies, enraged over t h e turn of events , took over on t h ei r own 20 and marc h ed 80 y ar ds f or the touchdown with Boychuck going around the right end for the score. Co-captain Bob Cumens booted a placement f or t h e extra point. The runn in g of Brown in g and Boughner and the clever ball handling of little Bob Dipipi also helped in this march . The Huskies grabbed a 13-6 lead a few minutes later when they pounced on a Cortland fumbl e on the Red Dra gons ' 19-yard line. From t h ere , Browning carried the ball for a first down and an of fs id e penalt y ag ainst the Red Shirts put the ball on the 1 yard line. After Depipi failed on a quarterback sneak, he handed off to Boughner who crashed over for the score. Boychuck's conversion was wide. Bloomsburg picked up another score in the closing minutes of the second quarter on a 70 yard drive, highlighted by the running of Williamsport' s Bob Groover and Jim Browning. Boychuck scored on a pitch from Mike Lachendock. Alexan der made good on the extrapoint attempt. The Huskies final touchdown came as a result of an interception by Browning on Cortland's 20. Dipipi passed to Stroup for the score. Alexander missed the try for the conversion. BSTC Homecomin g Band Presentation On October 16, 1954, at 10:30 a.m., the Maroon and Gold Band will present its annual concert for Homecoming Day. The hour-long concert will be held outside of Waller Hall. This program marks the first of a series of events taking place on this day. This is the second year that the band will be under the direction of Mr. Nelson Miller, and already his dreams of a larger band are coming true with the addition of eleven more members than last year. To provide for this enlargement , new uniforms had to be purchased for both new members and to replace old uniforms. A variety of musical numbers will be played during the concert which should appeal to every student's taste. In the afternoon the band will also be on hand for the football game with Wilkes College.

Harvey Boughner, Bob Groover , Alex Boychuck, Ch uck Casper, freshman Ed Watts and a host of other backfield boys had good afternoon showings in spite of the thin opposition. The Huskie line is big, stron g, ex perience d, and many in number. Tom Persin g, Dubs Thomas, Harry Hughes, and Joe Wescavach , with a host of reserves who can move up and take over if just one lets u p, are a tremendous forward wall for the speedy backfield. Bob Cumens, Bob Stroup, and Dick Strine, as well as freshman Bob Asby, showed comparative ease at handling the wings of the Huskie line and this year they are well experienced . k'iHi'iaiBi'ii A Summer To Remember (Continued from page 5) The counselors' main j ob was individual supervision. They had to be constantly looking for disturbances among the children, such as temper •tantrums, or epileptic seizures. There were no seizures during the camp session, but there were a few emotional upsets. Psychologists and psychiatrists visited the camp from time to time to observe the children. The second four weeks, Diann worked in Cabin II with the older girls. These girls were given an opportunity to gain a sense of responsibility by helping with the younger boys and girls; and they were given the special name of "j unior counselors. Of the many memories, both comic and tragic, that Diann brought home from Willowood, one of the most poignant is the story of the boy who was afraid of girls. He was about seventeen years old, and his one phobia was girls—all ages, sizes, and shapes. He was certainly a pathetic character. Fortunately, the story had a happy ending—during the summer,.he met a girl who was evidently "the one." At any rate she didn't frighten him , and by the end of the summer, they were sferi everywhere together. On the comical side, there was the little boy whose favorite expression was, "Oh , no, not again!" He used it for every situation. Then there was the little fellow who had to walk around camp with his pockets hanging inside out because he had a habit of collecting everything from sticks and string to bugs and stones, and using his pockets for a filing cabinet. Diann has this to say about her work : "I don't pity the children. That may sound hard-hearted , but really it isn't. If you allow yourself to pity them and worry about them , you work yourself into a state where you can be oE no good to yourself or to the children. I want to help them In every way I can. I feel thatrjt's more specially trained teachers and less pity that they need." Miss Kramer Jock Yohe J ack Yohe in Third Year As Head Hus ky Jack Yohe, who is beginning his third year as mentor of the B l o o m s b u rg H u s k i e s football squad, began his athletic career at Jersey Shore, Pa., High School, where he played four years of football under the guidance of George (Lefty) James, who is now head coach at Cornell University. He was varsity quarterback his j unior and senior years, and also was a letter winner in track four seasons, specializing in the high hurdles. After g r a d u a t i o n from high school, he worked for one year and then entered Lock Haven STC where he was varsity quarterback four years. His junior and senior years were banner seasons for the Bald Eagles as they went undefeated and were mythical state champions. Coach Yohe was named all STC quarterback for his work in his senior year. He also lettered in track four seasons at Lock Haven and played basketball two seasons and managed the cagers in his last year. As a football player he was an excellent punter, passer, and point after touchdown kicker. After graduation from college he began his coaching carer at Biglerville High School, where he coached four seasons of football and basketball, and three of track. In his firs t season there, he received one of his biggest thrills in sports. The team lost the first game of the season and then won the next eight straight. The war interrupted his career at this point, and he entered the U.S. Navy in March of 1942 as an athletic officer. He served in this capaci ty for forty-six months and was discharged with the rank of Lieutenant. After discharge, he attended graduate school at Temple University where he received the degree of M. Ed. During this time, he also served as football and basketball coach at Upper Merion High School. In the fall of 1947, he went to West Chester STC as varsity backfield coach under the astute Glen KilJenger. While at West Chester, he developed such outstanding players as Hirsch and Prender and also two fine quarterbacks, Spafford and Snyder. The Golden Rams played in several Bowl games during this time, in 1947 the Burley Bowl at Johnson City, Tennesee on Thanksgiving Day and the Cigar Bowl at Tampa, Florida on New Years Day. In 1948 they returned once again to the Burley Bowl. He also coached freshman basketball at West Chester. In September of 1952, Jack Yohe took the position he now holds as head coach of football a* the "Friendly College". So far the Huskies have had two fine seasons under his tutoring, 5-2-1 in 1952, and 6-2 in 1953. Mr. Yohe remarked, "the outlook for STC football this year is good , as the conference is better balanced than it ever was. Bloomsburg is one of the better teams and should have a good season. Some of his outstanding Huskies are : Jim Browning, who was all STC halfback In 1953; Bernie Mont , who graduated last May ; an d Bo Ralney, w h o is serv i n g Uncle Sam, but should be back next season. The lineman who has number one spot in coach Yohe's eye is Tommy Persing, an outstanding guard now in his senior year at the "Friendly College." This year Mr. Yohe will take on a j ob that is rather new to him , that of wrestling coach. The schedule has such teams as Mlllersvllle STC, Lock Haven STC, East Stroudsburg STC, and other schools with fine grappling squads, (Continued from page 1) Alpha Eta, commented in u personal interview that the proj ect findings confirmed ihe Aiuencun Hearing Society 's estimate ui Uie number oJi the aduli population needing help.

A major activity is planned for November 10, 1954 when Sigma Alpha Eta will sponsor an Open House at the Bloomsburg College Speech and Hearing Clinic. Open House, which will last from tweive o'clock noon to 5:00 p.m., will consist of movies, demonstrations, explanatory talks, and conducted tours through the clinic. Each tour will be limited to 40 people. Tickets will be available at the Community Government Association office for the conducted tours. The Open House affair has been proclaimed an all-school event, and no other activities will be planned for that day . BSTC Honors (Continued from, page 1) appearing in "School Science con and Mathematics" with Skullduggery. Both of these articles are illustrated with snapshots taken by the authors. Many of the other articles are intended for professional magazines, and tend to be of a technical nature, such as Dr. Kuster 's A Study of the General Biology, Morphology of Respiratory System and Respiration of Certain Aquatic Stratiomyia and Odontomyia Larvae ( Dystera ) , and Dr. Seronsy's Marginalia by Coleridge in Three of His Published Works. Quite a few faculty members have written in the educational field , for example, Dr. Hallisy, Mr. Gehrig Budget Procedures for Extra Curricular Organizations, Mr. Hinkel, Mr. Henrie Techniques of Staging- School Fashion Shows, Mr. Schleicher, and Mr. Ralph Fisher Smith. Mr. Deyoe and Dr. Russel have each published articles of general interest on varied subjects. All these books, poems, and articles will be in the library for Homecoming Day. Stop in and see our Bloomsburg writers. In July of 1942 he married Dorothy June Yohe, a graduate of Temple University and a former teacher in the Philadelphia School District. The Yohe's have one son, Garry Wynn , now six years old. Hiking through the woods and trout fishing are Mr. Yohe's favorite hobbies. We at Bloomsburg like Mr . Yohe and his family very much and hope they will be with us for a long time. Honor Roll of Hits ? ? SPORTS SCUTTLEBUTT The Honor Roll of Hits indicates that "Sh Boom" is still leading the field in record sales throughout the nation. "Paj ama Game" has given us "Hey There" which falls in second place. "Skokiaan " did some fast traveling up to third place, with the "High and the Mighty" holding fourih position for the week. Nat "King" Cole has recorded another hit with his laiesi, "Unbelievable". "Smile", by Nat , has been steadily climbing in record sales mainly because its style laiis in the pattern of practically ail Nat's recordings—soft and mellow. Incidentally, the "King " will be making a public appearance in Philadelphia, October 21-28, 1954. perNat has a tremendous stage sonality to back up those •' velvet vocal chords. " A St. Louis disc j ockey dreamed up a new stunt. "If you were stranded on a desert island," he asked his listeners , "which five popular records would you take along?" Below are the results oi his poll : (1) I believe, (2) That' s My Desire, (3) Stardust, (4) September and (5) Tenderly. Stan Freeberg is at it again. This time it's "Point of Order " which has been guaranteed by recording enthusiasts to make you "flip ". During a recent losing streak, the Brooklyn Dodgers were suitably soothed by a special radio show over a disc jockey program. Fifteen minutes of "Music for the Dodgers" with fitting songs of encouragement and comfort were played. I wonder if the Indians were extended the same sympathy ? The Ames Brothers have combined their efforts to record , "Let's Walk and Talk". The rhythmic feeling is definitely different employing a heavy lazy beat. by BILL BITNER COLLEGE GRID CAREER ENDED FOR EDDIE CONNOLLEY... One of the most personable athletes ever to have performed on Mt. Olympus, or even to have attended the Hill-Top Institution for that matter, suffered a broken ankle in the locals curtain raiser with Mansfield. We are speaking, of course, of Eddie Gonnolley, who became victim number three in the broken limb department of Husky gridders since way back in 1946. In the '46 season Tommy Dunn fell prey to a broken leg but it wasn't until '51 when ironically, it was Eddie Connol-j ley who suffered a broken arm in scrimmage prior to the West Chester game making him victim number two and the injury sustained this season makes him now number three. Injuries are unfortunately not new to Eddie, who has a medical list of football treatments at the Geisinger which doesn't have to take a back * seat to anyone. Eddie started playing football under Ken Bills at Danville High School in the 48 season, and became captain of the Ironmen in his senior year. Besides playing football, Eddie was also an outstanding basketball and baseball star at the down river school. In the fall of '51 Eddie came to the "Friendly College" as a science and math secondary student but managed to find time to win his varsity monagram as a center on Coach Bob Redman's Teachers College championship team of that season. Under Jack Yohe, Eddie continued to play ¦ great ball at the pivot post and again become a letter winner during his sophomore and junior years. In the spring of '54 Eddie was elected by the student body to the highest student office in the college community, president of the C.G.A. Besides being a member of College : Council, Ed is also a member of the Science Club and Varsity Club. Jack Yohe, of course, was counting heavily on Eddie this season, j ust as he did in the past two seasons; but this season he was sure he was going to be, as Coach Yohe termed it, "the one that will bring Ed Connolley into his own as a Teacher College star." This was a bad break for Ed in his senior year or any year for that matter, but it is also a break that the Huskies will feel as a team. When Ed was asked what he thought was the biggest thrill he realized as an athlete, he said he had never thought too much about any one thing or any one game in particular because he felt that winning: every game was just as important as any one contest. To Eddie, being a member of the championship team was nice, but he thought beating a team like Mansfield was just as important to the season as, say, West : Chester or New Haven. Eddie feels, like most linemen do when asked who was the best ! player you saw here at Bloom in your four years, that Russ Verhousky The Household Committee of was just a natural who did the right thing at the right time and at the the Day Men's Association held its same time made it look easy.

The business of the organization meeting consisted of an outline of projects of the Science Club for the first semester , 1954, given by Anne Sw or twood , program chairman. These include a special project, the placing of metal plates containing the names of the trees en all the trees on campus, and various individual proj ects during the latter1' part of the semester. This project is expected to start in the near future by various committees of the Science Club and will probably take a number of weeks to complete. At the second meeting, Septemb er 30, Dr. Lanterman gave an excellent talk on his very unusual hobby — raising of orchids. He brought with him several of his pla n ts, to illustrate various phases in the development and growth of the orchid , plus a number of clorful slides taken in his own greenhouse. POETRY CLUB Under the leadership of Elinor Evans, Edward Chase, and Anthony Aiello, the members of the Poetry Club discussed several poems of William Butler Yeats on October 7, 1954, in the social rooms of Science Hall.

Is it not great to be back ? Gee, you all look just like we remember you ! Well, a punch here and there and a few receding hairlines, but other than that, none of you look a day over 50. I suppose things look about the same to you. Let's see, last year when Homecoming was here, the lounge and offices weren't finished. They 've really done a jo b, huh ? Now it's heaps of fun to pay your fees in that spacious business office , and everyone is trying to get on probation just to get in the Dean's office. From rumors flying around, this is only the beginning. Keep those alumni dues coming. Oh! the Scoreboard, too. Many thanks to the class of '48 and '53. We ju st may have the team run up all kinds of scores on it. So far, they look like a club that could really go all the way. Let's hope so cause my jack et from 1951 is about shot). Jim Browning, our all-state from last year is looking tremendous with about 10 yards per carry, and Alex Boychuck, who was great in '51 and now back from the army, is looking about 18 times better than ever. And was it "Yours truly" who said no one would ever fill Barney Osevala's shoes? Watch this Boughner boy and he'll come mighty close. We broke precident this year and elected co-captains for the year, and two better ball players or greater guys couldn't have been chosen. Congratulations to Bob Cumens and Tommy Persing. When you see a good looking Irishman accept the Scoreboard today on a pair of crutches, you'll only be seeing our C.G.A. president, but a guy who was one of our greatest competitors — until he knocked three guys down trying to block a punt against Mansfield and one of the big guys fell on his ankle and broke it. Hat's off to Ed Connelly, who would be out there on crutches if the coach would allow it. There is one thing I vowed to put in my column since the first day of school. When Bob Groover came back to school, he was listening to his radio and heard "Sh-Boom" and he said, (quote) "Gee, that's a cute song. When did that come out?" Of course, it was only number one in the nation all summer. Nice play, "Brillo." John Duane Angus is certainly slimming down (247 ) now). He's living downtown and is doing his own cooking. No wonder he is thinner. He had Betz down for Sunday dinner and Fred couldn't walk for two days after. By the way, Fungus also sells pizza. (That's a plug, John!) "Buzz" Wool, our distance runner, is getting in shape early by chasing Roongo III all over Mt. Olympus on Saturdays. He does look a little like Ferrili, doesn't he? We might make him give it up because he's barking in his sleep lately. We've also added something else — a wrestling team. With all the state and district champs we have running around here we should do O.K. We better have something because we have a terrible looking schedule ahead. Since I was a freshman , I had always understood that Dean Hoch had graduated from Penn State. This fall he told us the truth. In the class of 1903, Dean Hoch graduated from Aaron Burr Institute at Codwalader, Louisiana. The highlight of his athletic career was the game at Miss. Southern when John (co-captain of the "Fraitors ") had to pole a raft across the river to get his team to the Miss, playing field for the Homecoming game in which he kicked three field goals of 40, 47, and 63 yards each to win the game 9-7. This story is straight from the lion's mouth. I guess you've all seen the young men around campus whose foreheads looks as if they'd been kissed by a girl with mixed-up lips. These are the Phi Sigma Pi pledgees—some of the more intelligent menfolk on campus. Tom Higgins, president of Phi Sig has had his room cleaned and shoes shined more this week than the other two years he has been in school. When we scrimmaged Lycoming, did ya see that burly new line coach we had ? None other than John Panichello, new assistant to Mr. Shelley. He may not know everything about football, but he can holler instructions lounder than anyone else. Punch may be back in the lineup today though after a leg inj ury . We've just gotta get those lights left on later now that all the electrical work is finished. Charlie Pope already broke both his big toes banging around in the dark. Is it true that Joe Kwak is getting up a petition against the chocolate milk machine because there's no refund on the empties ? Maybe Jo Graeber will learn not to befriend lonely kittens now. I learned the same lesson Saturday night, Jo. 'Don't feel be.d. (Tame cat, too!) Well, -once again, it's swell to see you back, and don't wait for the next homecoming to do it again. We sure need your support at the athletic functions. We don 't get any from our own students! See you at the game. Compliments of Temple of Mus ic "1/ it's music, we have it."
