1954-1955 in RETROSPECT
by ED SISCOE

On September 7, 1954, the campus of State Teachers College, Bloomsburg, as many other campuses of teachers colleges in Pennsylvania,
welcomed a large new freshman class. The next day, the remaining
classes arrived on campus; not so much to register, but moreso to chitchat with their friends of the preceding years. On September 13, Freshman Customs, under the capable guiding hands of Kaki Crew and Al
Miles , began.
The classroom saw some new faces. The new members of the faculty
include Dr. Thomas Martin , director of Business Education ; Mrs. Margaret McCern, in the field of business education ; Miss Gwendolyn Reams,
as the new librarian; Miss Mary Kramer, in the field of special education; Dr. Claude Bordner, in the field of secondary education; and Mr.
Donald Herberholz, in the field of elementary art. The dormitory residents also met the new housekeeper, Mrs. Helen Loreman.
October rushed upon us, and before we knew it, we were celebrating
the 27th annual Homecoming on October 16. Hundreds of alumni and
guests saw the Husky football team defeat Wilkes College 44-0; and
the various organization float entries in the West Chester Parade agreed
with, the judges when the first prize was awarded to the Rinky Dinks.
The first in a series of Civic Music Association programs presented
Gregory and Strong, an outstanding dance and instrumental team.
Pledgees were received into the fraternities on campus, the coed rooms
were judged , and the Freshman Reception was held.
During November, Bloomsburg was the host for the eighth annual
educators and businessmen's conference of teachers and administrators.
Custom trials — always a highlight of student co-opera tion—were held
in the newly renovated Waller Hall Student Lounge. The Freshman
Talent Show was presented to the enjoyment of the upperclassmen.
Thirteen seniors were chosen to represent Bloomsburg in the 1954 edition of "Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges." Those seniors chosen were: Lynda Bogart, Janice Bower, Edward Connolley, Jean Griffiths, Grace Histed, Hope Home, Jeanetta
Mincer, Ju ne Lukac, Joyce Lundy, Mike Moran, Sally Morgan, Relda
Rohrbach, and Nancy Sue Williams.
In early November, Dr. Thomas P. North, beloved Dean of Instruction
at B.S.T.C. for twenty-five years, announced his approaching retirement.
John A. Hoch, the amiable Dean of Men, was announced as successor to
the Dean of Instructor's position. "Religion in Life" Week was instituted
on the "f riendly campus" and met with huge success. Plans for Jazz
Concert , to be held on campus in early February, were proceeding under
the capable direction of the Social and Recreational Committee. The
1954 Varsity Queen was proclaimed at the Varsity Dance on November
22. A beautifu l, personable lass from Williamsport , Miss Barbar a Lent z
received her crown from Robert Cumens, president of the Varsity Club.
The first of the bi-annual scholarship and grants awards were made
to students on December 9. The Sophomore Class honored Barbara Lentz
by crowning her the "Candyland Queen " fo r th e ann ua l Sophom ore
Class Cot ilion . Plans (which never did materialize) for an inter-fraternity dance were being formulated by the various representatives of thie
fraternities on campus. Preparations for the annual quiz show, "Ba ttl e
of the Classes, " sponsored by Phi Sigma Pi Fraternity, were well under
way by mid-December . All campus organization meetings were well
attended during December of the final meeting of the old year . . . and
also for the ample supply of goodies. The fi rst "All-Soph omore Week"
also appeared.
January saw tne nrst graduating class or the iyo4-DD scnooi year.
Fifteen graduates heard the Commencement Address from the President
of the College, Dr. Harvey A. Andruss. During January, the Placement
Brochure of the 1955 graduating class was released to high school officials in Pennsylvania and neighboring states.
February saw the beginning of a survey of the past graduates of
Bloomsburg State Teachers College with regard to graduate study at
the college in the near future. The Dramatic Club presented the comedy,
"Lo and Behold ," to the student body as its annual presentation. "Up
In Central Park" was presented as the theme of the annual Freshman
Class, and the department heads of the OLYMPIAN, the college literary
magazine, were named. The Co-ed of the Year Contest, directed by Tom
Higgins, was held; and Miss Bobbi Roadside, Sophomore, was crowned
by last year's Co-ed, Miss Joan Christie. Max Kaminsky and his j azzmen were enthusiastically received; what pandemonium reigned on February 1 at Centennial Gymnasium! The underclassmen defeated the
upperclassmen in the "Battle of the Classes" during the assembly program on February 8.
The ninth annual Sales Rally was held at the college on March 5, and
some 800 people attended an enj oyed the proceedings. The bloodmobile
visited the campus on March 21.
On March 18, candidates for the offices of College Council for 1955-56
were named and presented in assembly. "Out of This World" was announced as the theme of the annual Fashion Show. Preparations for the
Junior Prom were underway, and delegates were named for the spring
conferences of fraternities and student governments. March was certainly a busy month for naming students to represent BSTC in an
honorable manner, both at home and away.
The final results of the College Council elections were announced on
April 1: President, Robert Evans ; Vice-Presldent, Richard Strlne; Secretary, Sally Stallone; Treasurer , James Nicholas; Assistant-Treasurer,
Richard Connolley. The All-College Talent Show was presented under
the direction of Bertha Knouse and Joan Christie. The annual concert
of the Maroon and Gold Band was presented under the direction of Mr.
Nelson Miller on April 5. The Freshman Class developed a new and
most welcome way to spend a weekend: a square dance combined with
a hayride to an honest-to-goodness farm. The Junior Class presented
"A Grecian Dream". The twenty-fifth anniversary of the Department of
Business Education was celebrated during April, with the Conference
of the Pennsylvania Business Education Association being h eld on our
campus.
New 'instructors and other staff members were announced during
April. Mr , Walter Blair was named to the position of assistant cosch
and assistant dean of men; Dr. John Serff was named assistant professor
of social studies.
May saw the second presentation of the awarding of grants and
scholarships to students; the distribution of the OBITER, the annual
yearbook : the election of new class as well as club officers ; the awarding
of a service plaque to Dr. Harvey Andruss for his outstanding service
toward business education; the ninth fashion show,

The recently .elected 1955-56 College Council prepares to assume duties under their new president,
Robert Evans, as Ed Connolley ends successful presidential career.

Growing Need for BSTC Enrollment
Graduate Study
Hits 817, Exceeds
Seen at B.S.T.C. Previous Record

A growing need for the addition
of a program of graduate studies
to the curricular offerings of the
Bloomsburg; State Teachers College is indicated by the results of
a study which is now being made
of the 1845 graduates of the college from 1941 to 1953. Only 18
percent of the more than 1250
alumni who answered the questionnaire mailed to them have
completed the requirements for
the master's degree, leaving more
than a thousand graduates of the
college who would likely be interested in course work at the graduate level, if and when it is offered at Bloomsburg.
A total of 229 Bloomsburg alumni reported that they have been
awarded graduate degrees since
their graduation. Of that number,
186 are men and 43 are women.
Those who have earned advanced
degrees represent roughly one-half
those who said they began graduate work.
The Class of 1947 holds the distinction of having the largest percentage of its members in the
m aster 's degree class—43 percent ,
but all six male graduates of the
Class of 1944 , who returned their
questionnaires, hold graduate degrees— a record of 100%.

Underclass men Win
Fifth Prese ntation
Of "Class Battle "

The fifth annual presentation of
the "Battle of the Classes" sponsored by Phi Sigma Pi In cooperation with Time magazine was held
Tuesday, Feb. 8, during assembly.
Those participating In the contest were as follows: Freshmen,
Marj orle Meyers and Ronald Jenson ; Sophomores, Marilyn Rlt ,ter
and Robert Ebner; Juniors, Jean
Zimmerman and Oliver McHenry;
Seniors, Ruth Paul and George

Dean of instruction Jonn a.

Harold Shelly . The judges were
Mr. Russell Schleicker, Mrs. Olive

The contest was won by the
underclassmen 26-20.

With American Colleges and
universities accommodating more
student than ever before. Bloomsburg State Teachers College has
the largest second semester enrollment in its history. With a registration of 817 students, the college
enrollment figure exceeds the
former high of 778 students registered in February 1950 following
World War II.
Included in the second-semester
figures are 116 Freshmen students,
the largest group of first-year
students to enter college for the
second semester since January
1946, when World War II GJ.'s
were returning from overseas. The
Freshman Class numbered 270 in
September 1954.
A breakdown of the 1955 enrollment figures indicates that the
Department of Business Education
has become the largest division of
the college with an enrollment of
289, as compared with 284 in the
Secondary curriculum and 244 in
the Elementary curriculum.
Men outnumber women on the
Bloomsburg campus, 498 to 319—
a unique situation in American
teacher-education institutions. In
the Department of Elementary
Educ ation , however, there are only 60 men, with a ratio of three
women for every man enrolled.
The Secondary curriculum has a
7 to 1 m ale ratio , while there are
two male students for every woman studying in the Department
of Business Education.
A January graduating class of
only 125 students and a May class
of 130 will not greatly relieve a
growing shortage of teachers for
the public schools. This shortage
may likely be aggravated by the
decision to limit the number of
new students to be admitted in
September 1955. Serious consideration is being given to the size of
next year 's Freshman class in
view of the fact that the maximum
enrollment of the college must be
kept at or near 800.

FOOTBALL

When school opened in the fall
the 1954 edition of the Husky football team was already hard at
work. With 20 returning lettermen
and a host of freshmen candidates ,
Coach Yohe set out to round into
shape one of the best teams ever
seen on College Hill.

BASKETBALL

During the past year Bloomsburg STC fielded a football team
which tied for the championship,
a basketball team that compiled a
fourteen and three record in beating some good teams, and a baseball team which won the championship. But it was the wrestling
team that captured the hearts of
the fans in winning only one meet
and losing six.
It was the first that Bloomsburg
had seen a wrestling squad since
before the war . and to many students the first time they had ever
seen intercollegiate wrestling. After Coach Yohe introduced to us
the different holds, take-downs,
etc., we waited impatiently to see
what our squad would do against
the school's experienced in this
particular sport .
The Huskies held their own
thro ughout. We lost to Millersville STC at home in our first contest. We fared well in losing a
close one. Captain Red Welliver
and Harry Hughes won their respective matches. The Maroon and
Gold grapplers held their own also
against East Stroudsburg STC as
Welliver, freshman Bob Asby and
Hughes won, while Kenny Lyn n
drew a tie against his opponent.
We lost a very close meet against
Indian a STC as Wlliver, Don Wise
and Tom Persing pinned their
men . We made a good showing
against Wilkes before going down
to defeat. Against Lock Haven
STC and West Chester, however,
it was a different story. Lock Haven , who has Purdue University
and the University of Pittsburgh
on their wrestling schedule also
trounced us . while West Chester,
the STC champs, beat us by a
large amount . In our only win of
the season Lincoln University was
the victim. Each Bloomsburg grappler "pinned" his man in winning
40-0.
The winter sport was received
with much enthusiasm by the students and faculty, and provided
them with thrills on every move.
The freshmen-studded matmen
who fough t every minute were —
Chuck Kuntz, who had trouble
keeping down to his playing
weight and Al Nuss, who participated with no previous experience
at 123 pounds . Ken Lynn of Williamsport wrestled at 130 and Bill
Troiani at 137. Captain Welliver
grappled at 147 pounds. Bill Conovan , George Chaump, Charles Abenmoha, and Frank took their
turns wrestling at 157 pounds.
Bob Asby at 167 pounds improved
as the season wore on . Don Wi se
did his share of mat-tending at
177 pounds. Hughes and Tom
Persing divided the heavyweight
chores.
At the season 's end Welliver,
Wise, Abenmoha, and George
Chaump represented Bloomsburg
at the State Teachers College
Championship Meet held at Lock
Haven. They all fared well with
Welliver and Wise coming home
with a third place each in their
weight class.
From this year 's squad only two
matmen will be lost through graduation , namely, Welliver and Persing. The only j unior is Don Wise
and Harry Hughes, the only sophomore . The remaining grapplers
are freshmen . With this is in mind
and the potentiality which each
wrestler shows as it should be interesting to see how Bloomsburg
does in the 1955-56 season. As a
rabid Brooklyn Dodger fan would
say "Wait'll next year."

The Bloomsburg State Teachers
College Basketball Team , posted
their best won and lost record
since the end of World War II,
by winning 13, and losing only 4.
The charges of Coach Harold
Shelly were in top form all season
dropping only one game on the
Centennial Hardwoods. This victory went t o Millersville STC, this
years State Teachers College
Champions . Mill er sville h as not
lost a ga/ne in STC competition
sin ce the* championship Huskies
defeated them in 1952.
Of the 4 games the Huskies lost
this season, they were on top in all
4 contests at the end of the first
half. In both games with Millersville . the Huskies went down in
defeat during the closing minutes
of the contest . However, Millers ville loses their ace goal-geter Bill
Workheitser, his year. Workheiser
had scored 20 points in every game
against Bloomsburg. On the other
hand, the Huskies only h ave 1
starter graduating this year, Fred
Betz. Although Fred will be missed
by this teamates , there are several
promising freshmen coming into
varsity competition . Jim Sn yder ,
Bob Boyle, Jim Gu st ave, and John
Shaeffer have all seen some varsity duty this year, and one of
them should work into Fred's old
spot nicely. Len Kozick, who followed Betz in the scoring race this
year will be back for 2 more seasons. Bob Evans, who scored 231
Husky points last season will be
back for 1 more year of action.
Also returning will be starters
Keith Weiser, and Mo Morson,
who together gathered almost 400
points for the Huskies. After
weighing the facts, it certainly
looks like the lads from the
Friendly Colege, should take the
State Teachers College Basketball
Championship in the 1955-1956
season. Coach Harold Shelly who
is in his sixth year as head mentor
of the Husky cage squad, assures
us that he will put only the best
team possible on the Husky Hardwoods. Coach Shelly can also boast
of Championship teams he has had
in the past, not only at Bloomsburg, but at his previous position.
Jim Gu st ave, who was picked for
all-tournement honors in the 195354 basketball tournement at BSTC,
is certainly a fine addition to
Coach Shelly 's squad . Jim, who
hails from Plains, Pa. was an outand showed the Centennial fans
last season that he knows his
onions when it comes to basketball .
The six-foot freshman accounted
for 108 points his first season in
a Husky uniform . Considering that
this was only about one-third of
the actual playing time involved
in the past season, we can expect
big things of Jim . He gathered
106 of these points through field
goals, by converting 45% of his
attempts.
During the past season, the
Huskies only lost one game at
home, the other three contests that
they lost were at Lock Haven,
Millersville, and at Kings College
in Wilkes-Barre. The Huskies defeated Losk Haven and Kings at
home, but j ust couldn 't turn the
trick on the foreign courts. Wilkes
College, Mansfield STC , Kutztown
STC , West Chester, and Cheyney
STC , all lost two games apiece to
the Huskies. Bloomsburg set a new
scoring record for Centennial Gymnasium by scoring 109 points
against Cheyney STC. This proved
to be one of the finest games witnessed by local fans for many
years at Bloomsburg State
Teachers College.
In closing, we would like to
thank Fred Betz for his efforts
¦to make Bloomsburg basketball
teams the best ever . Fred , who
has been an outstanding player
since coming to Bloomsburg, is
graduating this year. Fred wfil be
remembered for many years, not
only for his basketball ability, but
as an outstanding student, classmate, and sportsman . Good luck
to you in your teaching career.
May your chosen profession hold
nothing but the bet for you.

opponents in commanding style
the Husky grid machine met its
Waterloo (on Mt. Olympus) when
it f aced the New Haven STC Bald
Eagles. Demanding revenge from
last year's 14-12 defeat the New
England Tutors, who, incidently
were number one in the nation in
passing, invaded our hill top Alma
Mater and taught the Huskies a
few things in their 28-13 triumph.
Bouncing back from their initial
defeat the Yoheman traveled to
California where they eaked out a
victorv from a stubborn host club.
This set the stage for the STC
Conference Champion ship game at
West Chester. It was a cold, windy
November night that saw the
Huskies battle the standout Ram
team . Coach Glenn Kilinger had
his boys up for the contest and
there was no stopping them. Scoring two quick touchdowns through
Huskie fumbles and another on a
90-yard pass play, the Rams led
21-0 at half time . The night grew
colder and more depressing for
many Bloom fans, as the Huskies
couldn't get started against their
superior foes and were humbled
bv a 40-0 defeat.
Although they had lost the STC
crown the Yohemen didn't call it
qu its , but went out and soundly
thumped Lock Haven 40-13 in the
season 's final contest.
Mansfield was the Huskies first
of the campaign. Bloom scored
two quick and paralyzing touch downs in the first five minutes of
play on an interception by tackle
Harry Hughes and a blocked punt
by Bob Cumens. That set up the
second score . Before intermission
the Huskies added seven more
points to lead 21-0.
At tne start oi tne second nan
Jim Browning, Harv Boughner,
and Alex Boychuck combined nice
runs to score the final points. Senior end Bob Cumens made the four
perfect conversions.
Cortland Teachers of New York
state were next to visit Mt. Olympus and feel the fangs of the
Huskies. Although the visitors
scored first the Yohemen bounced
back to tally three times in the
first half and again in the third
q uarter to gain a 26-13 decision.
Alex Boychuck scored twice on
runs and Harv Boughner crashed
the lin e t o add seven to t he Bloo m
total . An ariel from quarterback
Dippi to end Bob Stroup accounted
for the final points.
Homecoming day saw an overflowing crowd and a great but one
sided football game . Th e H u ski es
played host to their Wyoming Valley neighbors, Wilkes College,
Once in possession of the ball
Bloom couldn 't be stopped . Jim
Browning. All-State and all STC
conference halfback, raced fiftyfive yards for the initial score. A
few plays later Bob Stroup crossed
the wide stripe after receiving a
pass from Mike Lashendock. The
Huskies scored twice more in the
first half and three times after
the half. Jim Browning brought
' the crowd to its feet in the third
period with a dazzling 67 yard
scamper to paydirt and the game
in a 44-0 Husky runaway .

TRACK

by KEITH McKAY \
As Coach Harold Shelly looked
over the prospects for his 1955
track campaign, he found that only
four past letter winners would be
standing by for action. These four
seasoned candidates, arou nd which
he would have to mould his team
were: Keith Weiser, high jump
specialist with two seasons to his
credit ; Buzz Wool, with a season's
experience in the mile and the twomile; Al Tucker, a speedy j unior
sprint artist; and Jim Browning,
a j unior who had proven his skill
with the j avelin as a frosh.
A great many younger hopefuls
would be needed to fill out the
team and give it the depth necessary for a successful season. Coach
Shelly would be relying on such
talent as Harry Hughes, Jerry
Wood , Jim Long, and Tom Doty
in the weight events. Hopes in the
ru nnin g department would be
resting on Charlie Lougherty, Bill
Troine , Ross Bartleson , Tommy
Garret , and Don Holmes. Mu ch
needed help might be found in
Frank Krem and Al Nuss, two
promising pole vaulters.
The addition of this talent from
the ra nks of the u n t ested frosh
and sophomores provided Coach
Shelly with what was to be the best
post-war track team produced at
B. S. T. C.
Evidence of this f act was found
in an impressive season record.
First on the list were the phys-ed
maj ors of Lock Haven who left
Navy Hall Field 20 points behind
the victorius Huskies. This was the
second straight year that Lock
Haven suffered defeat at the hands
of B. S. T. C.
The highlight of the season came
when Coach Shelly tok five of his
fastest cinder pounders to Philadelphia for the 61st annual running
of the University of Pennsylvania's
famed Penn Relays. The Husky
thin-clads were able to take second
place in the State Teachers College mile relay behind West
Chester.
The relay team, which won
silver medals for its efforts, was
composed of Buzz Wool, who ran
t he firs t leg, Ross Bar tleson , running second, Eddie Watts, carrying
the baton for the third lap, and
Jim Browning, running anchor. An
impressive 3:33 was turned in by
the Huskies, very close behind
West Chester 's winning time of
3:29.
Bloom was also a contestant in
the half-mile relay of America,
taking fourth place in the heat—
one place out of the qualifying requ i r ements. This team was made
up of Jim Browning, John Wool,
Eddie Watts, and Al Tucker.
Following the Penn Relays ,
Bloomsburg traveled to Shippensburg to participate in the AllState Teachers College Meet . The
team returned home in third place,
bringing with them a new state
champion in the high hurdles in
the person of Charlie Lougherty.
Besides a first , Charlie placed second in the low hurdles . Buzz Wool
came through with a third in the
mile and Jim Gustave tied for
third in the high jump.
The fourth meet found the
Huskies once again defending the
home fort as Cheyney visited the
campus, determined to make it two
in a row . They returned home on
the very short end of a 811Vis to
3CIV& rout. Bloom had swept every
first place with the exception of
the discus event .
The last meet took place at
Scranton Universiityv where
the
Huskies lost a close 611^ to 57%
decision.
With the fine showing of the
veterans and the frosh starters,
Coach Shelly has high hopes of an
even better team in 1956.

BASEBALL

by WALTER KOZLOSKI
The 1955 edition of the Bloomsburg baseball Huskies got off to a
good start for their new baseball
mentor, Dr. E. Paul Wagner ,, when
they defeated the Colonels of
Wilkes College by a 5—4 count
at Wilkes-Barre's Kirby Park.
Rudy Holtzman, the port sider
from Clarks Summit , was the
starter and the winner for the
College Hill nine, but Jimmy Starr
did some fine relief work to keep
that victory for his team mate.
Bloom scored five runs on nine
hits and seven miscues, with eight
m en stranded . Wilkes had four
runs on six hits and three errors,
and left nine men on the bases.
The only extra-base hit was a
double in the second inning by
Bobby Dipipi.
The local lads kept up tneir
winning ways when they entertained Mansfield and dropped the
Mountaineers by an 8—'3 score.
Charlie Kwiatkowski drew the
mound duties for the day and
pitched 8 innings of superb baseball before being lifted for a pinchhitter in the eighth.
The Colege Hill Nine started
the scoring off in the third with
singles by Shustack, Casper , and
Halcovich and a Mountaineer error
that brought in two Husky runs.
Mansfi eld came to life in the 4th
with two homers , but the Huskies
bounced back in their 44th frame
with 2 more counters. Bloom added
1in the 6th, and 3 more in the 8th
for security. Although Mansfield
threatened in the 9th, the Huskies
held them to a single score, and
brought home the bacon.
The Huskies hadn't beaten Lock
Haven on the diamond for six
straight seasons, but newly acquired freshman southpaw, Johnny
Hu da , set them down to defeat
6—3.
The charges of Coach Paul Wagner made it four in a row when
they journeyed to Kutztown to
take the Golden Avelenche to task
by a 11—9 count in a grueling
battle that lasted over four hours
and saw the lead change hands no
less than seven times. It was a
big day at the plate for veteran,
fleet-footd Eddie Shustack. as he
hit safely four out of five and
scored four big runs in the Husky
count .
The Huskies undefeated nine
t u rned in it s fifth consecu tive win
of the season over Millersville STC
by a 3—2 score. The locals were
down two runs at the end of the
first inning and weren't able to
even up until the seventh. Then
they won the game when Danny
Fink was walked in the eighth
with the sacks loaded and therefore forcing in the winning run.
With an unblemished record of
5 wins t o keep inta ct , the Huskies
traveled to Lock Haven with high
hopes of clinching the championship then and there. Lock Haven
was still smarting from its earlier
defeat , however, and properly
trounced the Hilltop Nine by the
revengeful score of 14—3.
A little the worse for the wear,
the Huskies lost the closest game
of their season a few days later
to an out-of-state Rider College
team by a heartbreaking 5—4
score . A disputed call at home in
the 8th went against the local lads
and hopes of the championship
dimmed for "Doc" and his diamond
men.
However, the Huskies proved
they deserved the STC Crown at
West Chester as they showed the
Golden Rams how to play the game
with a thrilling 9—8 victory. Thq
Frosh standout , John Huda , won
this all-important game and the
Huskies brought back the STC
Championship with them back to
Bloomsburg.

Some 800 persons, most of themt
engaged in one form or another of:
merchandising, were literally "soldi
on selling" last Thursday night, as;
Bloomsburg State Teachers College staged its ninth and most
successful annual sales rally.

j? eaturea speaKers were Urugene
P. Mapel, vice president of Barrin gton Associates, who gave (he
six fundamentals for master salesmanship, and Jim Watson , presid ent of James Wat son Associ atesi
who delighted the audience in a
t h eatrical presentat ion of do's an d
don 'ts in retail selling.
The auditorium was filled to
capacity for the event which
marked one of the highlights of
the college's observance of its business education department's silver anniversary. Dr. Harvey Andruss , president of t h e coll ege, and
founder of the department, extended welcome to the record assemblage.
Dr. Thomas B. Martin, director
of t h e busi n ess department, credited Ch arles Henrie. member of th e

Prior to th e ra lly, a dinner was
held in the college dining hall for
guests who included members of

Watson , for almost an hour and
a half , squirmed, mimicked, pantomimed, shouted and whispered
through t h e roles of customer and
clerk, declared that every salesman should h ave some "h am" in
him, and that the only difference
between the legit imate t heatre
and the "retail theater " is that
in t h e former "You pay before the
show" while in the latter, if the
show's no good, "no pay."
Mapel, with the illustration of

possible by key blocks on the part
of Tom Persing, Bob Strou p and
line-backer Charlie Skiptunis.
At the end of the first four
