Festivities Prove Huge Success To Spite Weather
As Three Hundred Participants Fight Through Program

Approximately three hundred
college and Benj amin Franklin
Training School students participated in a colorful May Day program May 9, 1956, on the lawn of
the college.
Preceding the traditional festivities, the Maroon and Gold Band
under the direction of Mr. Nelson Miller, presented a concert.
Promptly at 2:30 P.M. the processional began, led by the Senior
Woman who carried an Ivy Chain.
Joan Christie, the Queen of May,
was preceded to her throne by
eight Senior women who were her
attendents. After being crowned
by Robert Evans, president of the
Community Government Association , she took her place to view
the activities of the afternoon.
The entire program emphasized
scenes from various areas of the
n a tion . First on the program were
skits portraying summertime everywhere, including beach scenes,
picnics and many types of sports.
A highlight of this portion of the
program was the bathing beauty
contest in which several college
women vied for the honor of becoming "queen of the beach".
The Kindergarten Class of the
Benjamin Franklin School presented their thoughts on patriotism in
their dan ce, "Yankee Doodle". The
Fifth and Sixth Grades presented
Pennsylvani a, the Southland and
Texas by singing three songs, "Th e
A sh Grove ", "The Night Herding
Son g" and "Swing Low, Sweet
Ch ariot".
Looking wintr y in t heir white
costumes, a group of Sophomore
girls presented a dance depicting
a snow storm.
An enj oyable change of setting
was produced when some of the
college men , dr essed i n thei r finest
hillbilly at ti re, did an excellent j ob
with the dance, "Arkansas Traveler".
The Fourth Grade presented a
scene from Louisiana when they
did the old French dance , "Farandale", better known to many of
us as "Follow the Leader ".
The Southwest was represented
by a colorful and gay fiesta dance ,
entitled "The Lady Anne ", which
was presented by the Third Grade.
The Second Grade demonstrated
their square dancing ability to the
All-American tune , "Oh! Suzanna ".
Two hundred college women, attired in soft pastel skirts and white
blouses, presented a creative dance
to the tune of "Greensleeves."
Made more colorful by the flowered wands waved by the girls, the
dance ended with a graceful bow
to the queen.
As an appropriate and spectacular ending to the program the
entire cast of May Day performers
v^ound eighteen gaily colored May
Poles, arranged on the terraces
outside the Husky Lounge ,
Responsible for the beautiful
and well-organized May 'Day program were Miss McCammon and
her committee consisting of Dean
Hoch , Mrs. Miller , Miss Hazen,
Mr. Shelley, Mr . Blair , Mr. Herberholz, Mr. Miller, Mr. Henrio ,
Mr . Knoeble and many student
aides.

"Plain and Fancy"
Given to Full House

The 10th Annual Fashion Show
of B.S.T.C. was presented on May
4 in Carver Auditorium. Two performances, a matinee and an evening performance (the latter given
to a full house) were presented.
The theme of the show, "Fashions Plain and Fancy ", was carried
out extremely well in the stage
setting. A Victorian living room
represented Grandma and her
floun ces. A contrasting, but harmonious, modern day living room
carried out the plain and casual
style of present day living.
Nightwear, casual clothes, bath- '
ing suits, sportswear, dressy dresses , gowns, and millinery were displayed by Bloomsburg merchants.
All but millinery and children's
sections were narrated by Joan
Christi an, who was also Fashion
Coordinator . Judy Ulmer described the children 's clothes and th e
millinery.
Mr. Henri and everyone connected with the show was congratulated on the fine j ob done.

Dr. McDonald gave a very inspiring talk concerning the difficulties and unforeseen situations
which may be encountered by
graduate speech therapists. He
gave realistic and practical suggestions in co-operating with parents and school administrators so
that an adequate and wholesome
.therapy program can be developed.
An Honorary Membership award
was given to Dean John A. Hoch
in recognition of his outstanding
interest and co-operation in furthering the principles of Sigma
Alpha Eta.
Dr. Donald F. Maietta, director
of the speech and hearing clinic
and advisor of the Iota Chapter,
was honored with a personal gift
,from members of the fraternity .
Miss Charlotte Rummage and
Miss Doris Krzywicki were awarded Honor Memberships in recognition and their high professional
promise and outstanding work in
the field of speech and hearing.
Following these awards the new
officers of SAE were installed.

WHY EVA LUATE?
Evaluation is a word that has been tossed around in the field of
education. We, as students in a State Teachers College, are familiar
with the sound of the word. Are we familiar with its depth of meaning and application ?
In education evaluation is most important , as a good teacher evaluates each day's work both, on the part of the children and herself.
Therefore , we , as future teachers, should be concerned with evaluation.
We must learn to condition ourselves and our actions in order to be
receptive to evaluation.
A job done well has as its final step the evolution of the work. As
we near the end of the school year, each of us should take a backward
glance at what we have accomplished. Our hopes and ambitions will
not all have been attained but a certain percentage should have been.
In looking back we should not onl y be concerned with our scholastic
development but also think of the social and cultural advancements.
Each student should develop in the manners which are most advantageous for him. When evaluating a year spent in college preparing
to educate our nation 's youth , many factors must be under consideration.
Yes, now is your opportunity to reminisce and evaluate this college
year. Make the word "evaluation " have meaning for you and app ly it
to your life. It is a sure way of assuring yourself that your time will
be wisely spent.

VETERAN'S PIPELINE . . . by Richard mease

This question of VA hospitalization for discharged veterans lias long
been a thorn in the side of many GI's. In response to these inquiries the
VA has recently disclosed that veterans with only peace-time service
will not be entitled to VA hospitalization if they have no service-connected disabilities.
The only conditions under which peactime veterans may be idmitted
to VA hospitals.are:
1. If they were discharged under other than dishonorable conditions
for a disability incurred in the line of duty.
2. If they are receiving VA compensation for a service-connected or
service-aggravated disability.
Generally speaking, peactime service for VA hospitalization falls between the following dates:
Nov. 12, 1918, when World War I ended for all except a few and
Dec. 7, 1941, when World War II is deemed to have started.
Dec. 31, 1946, when World War II ended except for a few, and June
27, 1950, when the Korean conflict started.
Jan. 31, 1955, when the Korean conflict ended, to the present time.
Veterans who served only during the above periods are considered as
peacetime veterans for the purpose of VA hospitalization and therefore
may be admitted to VA hospitals only if they meet the eligibility requirements established by Congress for these veterans.

LOAN LIMITS

Q. How much money can a veteran borrow on his permanent GI insurance? The insurance has been in force for several years.
A. A veteran may borrow up to 94 percent of the reserve value of his
permanent GI insurance. The insurance must be currently under premium payment status and have been in force for at least a year. Any
VA office can determine the exact amount of loan value on any given
policy. Interest is charged at the rate of 4 percent per annum and repayment may be made at any time in $5 multiples.

Q. Does the time limitation for beginning Korean GI Bill education
begin with the date of release from active duty, or discharge from the

A. It is three years from the date of discharge or release from active
duty.

NO DIVIDEND
Q, l a m a veteran and would like to get some information about the
bonus that is to be paid on the NSLI policies. I have carried $10,000 from
the time of induction, which was June 28, 1953. I was released from
active duty May 11, 1955.
A. You are not eligible for the 1956 NSLI dividend , which is payable
only on "participating" National Service Life Insurance. Your insurance,
which is authorized by the 1951 Indemnity law, Is "nonparticipatlng" and
does not earn dividends.

SUSPENSION OK
Q, l a m a veteran attending the second semester of college under the
Korean GI Bill, If I stay out of school next semester to work, will my
GI Bill be void If I apply for school again the following semester?
A. No, Veterans are permitted to suspend their GI Bill training for
up to 12 months without VA approval and without losing further entitlement. Continuous pursuit of a GI Bill course Is not required before the
cutoff date—three years after discharge. However , a veteran must be In
actual training on that date, except where he interrupts for other reasons beyond his control, or under conditions deemed by VA to be otherwise excusable.

FROM THE
CLUB HOUSE . .
FUTURE TEACHERS
OF AMERICA

The final meeting of the Future
Teachers of America was held on
Thursday, May 10, 1956, with
Thomas Higgins presiding.
The election of officers for the
1956-57 school year took place at
that time. The officers elected
were : President, Dick Strine;
Vice-president, Marilyn Friedman;
Secretary, Enola Van Auken;
Treasurer, Marilyn Ritter; Program Chairman, Margaret Yohn.
Raymond Edwards reported on
the High School Visitation Day
which was sponsored by the Future Teachers Organization. A
total of 205 high school seniors
attended and he reported that the
program was favorably received,
and well organized.
Enola Van Auken, one of the
representatives who attended the
State Convention at Millersville,
gave a report about their activities
at the convention. Those who accompanied Miss Van Auken were:
Bill Bitner, Dick Strine, Bill Pohutsky, and Marilyn Friedman.
Two men from the North-Eastern
District are among the officers for
next year, they are the President
from East Stroudsburg, and Representative-at-large, who is William Pohutsky from Bloomsburg.
Walter Rudy, who is head of the
committee on club membership,
reported that he had received 78
replies in answer to a questionnaire which was sent to all club
members. The results showed that
a maj ority favored opening the
club membership to sophomores
and making it mandatory for all
members to pay N.E.A. and
P.S.E.A. dues. However, it was
pointed out that no action can be
taken on these proposals until
year's new members have had a
chance to vote on them.

fraternity held a wiener roast on
Mr . Boyd Buckingham's grounds.

groups visited and discussed the
Trusteeship Council Chamber, with
contributions from Denmark, the
Economic and Social Council
Chamber with Norwegian contribution s, the Security Council room
decorated by Norway, and the
General Assembly Room.
After completing the guided tour,
the group had an hour to browse
around the U.N. lobby and gift
shops, and to visit the Meditation
. .. .
Roo m.
The group separated for the
afternoon with a few attending
the afternoon sessions of the Economic and Social Council. The
members of this council discussed
UNICEF's program. The other
members of the group went by
bus to the Hayden Planetarium, to
hear a demonstration-lecture entitled, "Our Spinning World —
From Pole to Pole". Following a
tour of the Planetarium, the group
visited the Museum of Natural
History.
Later, the group was free to see
some of the interesting spots of
New York City and to have dinner
in many of the well-known restaurants.
At the designated time, all met
at the Greyhound Bus Station to
begin the trip back to Bloomsburg.
They returned at approximately
12:00 midnight.
The following advisors accompanied the classes: Miss Barnes,
Miss Hazen, Miss Pooley, Mrs.
Riffel, and Mr. Johnson.

Tentative Summer
Schedule Released

John A. Hoch, Dean of Instruction, recently released a tentative
schedule of classes to be offered
this summer at Bloomsburg State
Teachers College.
In addition to making it possible
for undergraduate students to accelerate their college education ,
the schedule of classes provides an
opportunity for teachers-in-service
to extend or complete their elementary certification or to take
courses which will qualify them to
teach mentally retarded children.
In order to help train and prepare the number of teaching personnel necessary B.S.T.C. is tentatively offering, during the four
three-week sessions, every course
required by the Commonwealth
for certification in the field of
teaching the mentally retarded .
These courses are : Arts and Crafts
I and II, Child Development. Education of Exceptional Children,
Clinical Psychology, Mental Hygiene, Speech and Hearing Problems, Workshop in Problems in
Special Education, and Mental
Tests.
Summer session bulletins and
postal cards for reservations are
available upon request at the office
of the Dean of Instruction.

You made them successful, you
gave them the zest,
In making this year rank with the

Here's to more fun In '57!

SPORTS SCUTTLEBUTT ^H
by BILL BITNER
9^ 9

THEN THERE WERE NONE . . There is little question in Scuttlebutt's mind (as well as in the mind of the editor and the advisor) but
what our typewriter has written too many words concerning Dame
Fortune and,her treatment of our beloved Huskies during the past three
years. However, we have never felt that the mediocrity of our adje ctives
have done justice to the Men of College Hill. We have thoroughly enj oyed watching the B.A.R. (Browning Automatic Runner) dazzle the
opposition with a long run on a beautiful autumn afternoon, or Barney
Osevala and Joe Malczyk fight for the crucial first down. Certainly we
shall never forget the precision of a key-block thrown by Harvey Boughner to spring Boychuck, Rainey, Tilburg, or any of the Husky Horses.
The Centennial Gym has had its nights too. The night Dave Linckhorst made a set shot from the fartherest foul line was one of them.
Keith had his one^iand bank shot and Evans his two-way hook. The
set shots of Al Williams, Fred Betz and Bob Boyle will be compared for
a while. The rebounding of Morson and the jump shot of Gustave
brought other moments of grandeur when we were charting the Hardwood Huskies. All these things made our omni-popular but lonely priesthood of the statistician somewhat more pleasant.
When it was baseball time it has always been with anticipation that
we watched the fabled John Huda or Johnny Dennen break off their
offerings to the discouragement of the opposing batters.
It has never been our intention to paint a dainty watercolor of storybook college heroes defending the name of the College on the athletic
field. It isn't even our intention to become sentimental but it must be
admitted we enjoy ed the experience. In three years the Bloomsburgs
have probably won more than their share of the applause. So, as we
note seconds ticking away on the old Scoreboard clock, and in case we
had any readers during the past three years we want to say thanks to
them for giving us a look as well as say to the Coaches and athletic
teams of College Hill we are very grateful for the association and the
best of luck for the future.

(Picture on page 4)
Water safety here at Bloomsburg has taken two steps forward
in the courses offered . In September the Senior Life Saving Course
was given to 33 people out of
which 21 passed. Instruction was
given every Tuesday for 2 hours.
The Senior Life Saving certification must be renewed every three
years. Those who passed the Red
Cross Life Saving course are Barry Beilharz . William Calderwood,
Gary Egli, Fern Goss, Ivan Hartman , Emma Kovalevich, Jane
Martin i, Molly Mattern, Julia Ann
Muir, Kay Nearing, Jane Neff ,
Jane Ott , June Pope, Linda Ruggieri . Matthew Sasso, Sally Ann
Smith, Marcia Storm, Ronnie Taylor, Mary Ann Thornton , Ralph
Wetzel , and Willard Ziegler . The
possibility of going on to the Instruct ors course was determ i n ed
by two qualified people here on
campus, Don Alter and Margaret
Brinter.
Persons who show ability are
recommended for the advanced
Instructors course. As a result of
t hi s course, there are 17 persons
wh o are cert ifie d Red Cross Wa t er
Safety instructors. Part I of the
course was taught by Don and
Mar garet . Part II entitled—Final
Exam—was handled by Mr . Z. V.
Harkleroad, t h e eastern sa f et y
services representative of the American Red Cross. The following
people successfully completed the
two parts of t h e Instructor 's
course. Robert Asby, Barry Beilh arz, William Calderwood, Gary

contest between the two schools.
It took three Husky hurlers to
win it, but Coach "Doc" Wagner 's
men came through in fine style.
Starter Dick Reichart of Light
Street pitched good ball for the
locals, but needed help from Dan
Fritz and Bob DiPippi to gain the
win . This Husky mound trio held
the visiting Colonels to only 6 hits.
Moreover, the Husky hitters had
a field day. The Maroon and Gold
stickmen pounded out 13 hits off
Wilkes righthander, John Milliman. Freshman shortstop, Joe
Pendal, led the Husky hitting barrage with 3 for 3 and drove in 3
runs. He was backed up by Charlie Casper, John Oustrich , and Jim

Tucker Win ds Up "Ski " Plays in
Fabu lous Cind er Final Ball Game
For Wagner Nine
Career at BSTC

Alfred (Al ) Tucker, outstanding
Husky Trackman for the past
three years, hails from Coatsville,
Pennsylvania. Al won the varsity
letter for his efforts on the Coatsville High School track squad three
times. He also won a varsity monogram for his baseball prowess as
a member of the Coatsville baseball team . Another member of the
same team was Bob Cummings, a
former Husky athlete in the class
of 1955.

Charles "Ski" Kwiatkowski, a
native of Plymouth, Pa., will leave
the Friendly College via graduation this spring.
"Ski" began to develop his athletic talents while a student at
Plymouth High School. He gathered no I,ess than four varsity letters
at the Valley school. He was a
quarterback on the football team
four years and a member of the
basketball team two years.
After a hitch in Uncle Sam's
Navy, "Ski" enrolled at BSTC. He
lost no time getting back into his
favorite spot on the football team.
He didn't participate in the hardwood sport at Bloomsburg, but
saved his energy for baseball instead. In four seasons as a member of the Husky mound staff,
"Ski" has amassed a very impressive record of nine wins against
only three losses. He is a winn er
of the varsity monogram six times

Al Tucker
After coming to BSTC. Al answered Coach Harold Shelly 's call
for trackmen and set about winning a position in the sprint department. After an inj ury in his
freshman year, he came back and
is now a three-time winner of the
Varsity award at the Friendly
College.
Al calls Browning not only his
best opponent . Each time Jimmy
and Al are entered in a sprint , it
is not only competition from the
other team that makes them move
so fast, but the competitive spirit
displayed by both boys in an attempt to beat each other. Each
time you see them run , you are
watching a race between the two ;

Charlie 's biggest thrill in sports
came in the 1954 Lock Haven vs
Bloomsburg football game. Dubs
Thomas, a tackle on th e '54 team,
had always wanted to score a T.D.
This was his last game as a Husky
and his last chance to score. He
scored that T.D. via a pass from
"Ski" to Bob Stroup, and Stroup
lateralled the ball to Thomas, resulting in a Bloomsburg touchdown.
When asked whom he regarded
as his team mate, Charlie made
this reply. "It takes 11 men to
play a football game and 9 to play
a baseball game; they have all
been my favorite team mates."

Rider Colleg e Ends
Victory Skein at 6

Bloomsburg's Huskies dropped
their first game of the season on
Saturday, May 12, bowing to Rider
College 8-7 on the Trenton , N . J.
Field.
Coach "Doc" Wagner started
Paul Reichert on the hill and the
right hands lasted until the third
frame.
Charlie "Ski" held Rider at Bay
until the ninth when they pushed
across the winning tally.
Casper, Shustack and Parsell
led the Husky attack, each man
garnering three hits .

1956-57 Budget

( Continued from page 1)
These increased allotments are
coming from the increased semester activities fees, which will be
$20.00 per student starting September, 1956. This means that
$10.00 more annually will go toward the student activities; however, of this $10.00 increase, $2.00
will go to the Obiter, $1.00 to the
respective class treasuries, and
$1.00 to the Dormitory or Day Associat ions, thus eliminating the

Cheyney Meet . . .
. ^ •
The thin clads of Coach Harold
Shelly opened the 1956 track campaign with a 66 to 61 win over
the Cheyney track and. field crew
in a meet held at Cheyney. This
was the first win for the Shellycoached cindermen over a Cheyney team in track. Charlie Loughery and Buzz Wool each copped
two events, Loughery taking the
120 high and the 220 low hurdles ;
Wool broke the tape in the mile
and half mile. Gerald Wood won
the discus and took a second place
in the shot put event.
Pennsylvania Belays
The historic Penn Relays, hosted by the University of Pennsylvania at Franklin Field in Philadelphia, saw West Chester fleetfooted mile relay team run away
with the honors in the Pennsylvania State Teachers College mile
relay. Bloomsburg finished in sixth
place out of a field of eight entrys.
Running for the Huskies were^
Buzz Wool, Jim Browning, Charlie
Loughery, and anchor man Eddie
Watts.
Lock Haven Meet
The Bald Eagles sporting more
depth than they have been during
the past few years beat the Huskies on the Navy Field Cinders by
a 72 to 49 final reading. Bloomsburg wasn't able to muster enough
strength to overcome a much larger Lock Haven squad. John Wool
took first place in the 440-yard
dash and second place in the half
mile. Gerald Wood won the discus and Al Tucker the 100-yard
dash. Jim Gustave walked away
with the high jump, clearing six
ICCl.

State Teachers College Meet
West Chester, the perennial favorites in the State Teachers Colleg© Championships, lived up to
their advance billings by copping
all but three events as they played

Al says his greatest thrill in
sports came while a member of
the Coatesville High School baseball team. He hit a pinch-hit double with the bases loaded in a tie
ball game. The runs produced by
the hit won the game for Coatesville. Among his many abilities,
Al is one of the most outstanding
Softball pitchers on campus . His
team—the Norwall Dragons—won
the intramural championshi p in
1953. There are very few men playing intramural softball that enj oy
stepping to the plate when Al is
pitching.
Al's choice of leisure time activity is listening to Hi-Fi music, and
watching maj or league baseball.
After graduation , his plans call
for a tour with the Army, u pon
Uncle Sam's request, and after
that a career as a teacher and a
coach. We at the Friendly College
extend our best wishes to Alfred
Tucker . We know that next year
when the call goes out for trackmen . Al's running shoes will be
hard to fill .

I hope we can think of something that rhymes!!
Eyebrows are something Buzzy Wool needs,

Where Dad Took His Girl

o

Exclusive but Not Expensive

You think it was fun to wind a may pole ?
Frankly, we'd much rather fall in a hole.
Remember the travelers from old Arkansas?
Didn't Arnie Redboard make a cute maw ?
Did you notice the holes in Phil Mosier's pants ?
He may not be graceful, but he still did the dance.
Then there was Herman with the rose tatoo —
By the time he was finished , it was covered with dew.

For baseball we had a great team
•Doc Wagner walked around in a dream
Eleven-to-nothing brought us our fame
Killinger's still singing "Ain't That A Shame."
If they did give out trophies to put in a case,
This year's teams would need the most space.

So we've completed another year
And for you all we shed a tear
Because next year we may*iot see
The kid who sat by you or me.
The reasons are not hard to find ,
So we will not bring to mind
The list that tells of every grade
And of fees that wont' be paid.
Just remember that you 're better oiT
With measles or with whooping cough
Than to have received a dirty "E"

"For A Prettier You"
Bloomsburg and Berwick

Eppley's Dru g Store

Take a walk on some warm summer's night
When the moon and the stars are just right
Til you come to a comfortable nook
(The type that belongs in a book!)
Then sit down, and relax, and review
What has happened to you and your crew.

On top of old Carver all covered with tin
There sits an old bottle of powerful gin.

"After a test we were having a party.
The j okes were off color, the laugh's were hearty.
Al Hoffman suggested "Let's think up a scheme
To prove that this session is not j ust a dream."
We thought of a trophy, or maybe a plaque,
Or kidnapping Roongo and painting him black.
Nothing quite suited the gang that was there ;
Then Jakes thought of a plan that curled our hair.
We took the last bottle without wasting time
Over to Carver and started to climb.
Now there on the tower—right under the clock
Stands the bottle of gin and Gary Yohe's sock.

We know that you're not going to grieve
On the day that you're planning to leave
The campus that's nothing like home;
And so we're writing this poem ( ?)
To tell you to have a good time,
But stay away from bad places and wine.
