This evening at 8 p.m. in Carver Hall Auditorium the Bloomsburg Players will present the second and fin al performance of "Fanny 's First Play," by George Bernard Shaw. The Major Production was first seen by an audience Wednesday evening. The cast of the play, under the direction of Miss Mary Homrighous, has been practicing since the firs t week of November. "Fanny 's First Play," a comedy, employs the "play within a play " technique to hilarious advantage. The play opens in the home of Count O'Dowda, a "world citizen" and his daughter, Fanny, who has j ust written a play. The Count has invited several critics to this first Sitting — Mary Ann Thornton, Beth Sprout, Marjorie Morson, Elaine performance. Fanny 's epic concerns DiAugustine, Jo Ann Heston. two young English people from Standing — John Longo, Donald Ker. highly respectable families who are thrown in jail for being drunk and assaulting the police. Both sets of parents are highly incensed when they learn of their children 's "disgrace." The maj or theme of the play concerns the changes wrought in the two young people themselves. The epilogue is a discussion of the play among the assembled critics. This is Shaw having a very good time — at the expense of critic "types " that any audience is sure to recognize. The cast includes: (in order of appearance ) Maid, Rita Botteon ; Fanny, Anne Tooey ; Count O'Dowda , Dave Laughlin; Cecil Savayard, Dan Cody; Mr. Trotter, Eider son Dean; Miss Vaughn, Nancy Lasser ; Mr. Gunn, Joe Haluska; Miss Barral, Maureen Barber; Mr. Gilbey, Don Harsch ; Mrs. Gilby, Carol Mazza; Juggins, Harry Cole; Dara Delaney, Lorraine Morlock ; Mr. Knox, Bob Steinruck ; Monsieur Duvallet, Jim Donald; Mr. Knox, Don Gladfelter; Margaret Knox, Mary Frances Downey ; Mrs .

This year the scheduled stops are casual house gatherings, sophisticated cocktail parties and exciting formal dances. Come along, climb aboard! What about the fare, you say. Why, just a few appropriate clothes will get you a free ride on this vent uresome vehicle. One look at our two BSTC students pictured above tells us they are eagerly anticip ating the Bloomsburg passenger stop on December 18. If we were to peek into Patty 's bag of fare, we might find any one of these outfits: a basic black wool dress with assorted accessories: rope beads, a dramatically shaped pin, a paisley pure silk scarf , piles of gold or silver bracelets; a sweater-knit sheath dress; a softly pleated skirt with a coordinating chemise top or a jumper sacked or snatched in at the waist for the blouson top with a matching blouse. Any one of these ensembles along with appropriately tinted stockings, peaked shoes and flat hand bags would be excellent for the casualHniicf -frntliorinor ctnn A second peek would set spots before your eyes. Midas has placed his touch! From Grecian bobs to Italian slippers, women are covered with glistening gold. Bright pink has regained its position in the winter color scheme. And bold black combined with snowy white is creating a sensation. Dresses of shimmering satin and silks, brilliant brocades and flowing chiffons would lie before you in a glowing array. The Empire design still leads in styling and for some modificatio n, pins, bows and buckles have been added to the high waist which accentuates the bustline. Loose fitting sheath skirts, semi-flared skirts and EDITOR Dennis Musket and Patti Oswald prepare to take the "Holiday Exnr p ss" poof-skirts terminating slightly below the knee are dashing, daring and delightful to wear. Necklines range from the high collarless to the low scooping. Patty merely has to choose her dress , add long or short gloves, jewelry to harmonize with the costume and the satin-pointed-toe shoe to suit her fancy ; and she is prepared for the gala festivities of the cocktail party or the formal dance. A glimpse into Denny 's bag of fare shows us that he chooses a tweed j acket in warm muted tones with flap pockets , slim slacks and comfy loafers for his first stop. Perhaps you might prefer a sweater of novelty-knit for your perfect comfort. For the cpcktail party, a dark suit like the one Denny is wearing is j ust what you'll need. Dark flannel, tweed and worsted wools are the fabrics for occasions such as this. — Lydia A.

CECIL SERONSY , Adviser December 8, 1958 Dear Ediior , I think th e last issue of the Maro»:i and Gold's Letters to the Editor , concerning the town library, was misleading. I know that many of the students of BSTC use this library and find it quite helpful in completing assignments. It has available material which cannot be found in the direct vicinity of the college and has proven to be an asset to us, as well as, to the town. There are some st udents at BSTC who have never used the town libr ary and I felt that after reading the article , received the wrong impression concerning it . Because one student had an unfortunate experience , we must remember "th ere are always two sides to every ^ story ." I have used the town library since my Freshman year , and have received nothing but the best treatment possible. The librarians have always been cooperative in assisting me with readings and projects I have been working on there. The people who have ever had anything to do with an organization will agree there must be rules to keep order and insure protection. So too, the town library must have its rules. There have been instances when some of the college students have taken the town library 's magazines out and have mutilated them by tearing out the pictures and articles. Sometimes rules do not seem right, but there must be a need or we wouldn 't have these guides. I hope the student body was not mislead by last week's letter. I believe there would be many more headaches than what we now have if we did not have usa of the town library's facilities. Before any of us make hasty decisions concerning library rules, let's all find out for ourselves. DAVID J. DAVIES .*. .*. ^ Dear Mr. Davies, The letter to the editor concerning the town library was not intended to disparage their service to us. The writer stated his complaint and an answer was made to that specific letter. It is the policy of the Maroon and Gold to print and answer all letters to the editor. I am fully aware of the benefits of the Bloomsburg Town Library. My infrequent requests for information or books have always met with courtesy and cooperation, as you state yours have been. I realize only too well that the letter printed in the Maroon and Gold presented only one specific instance and I'm glad to see that a student cared to answer it personally where it will do most good, instead of ju st talking about the issue. — THE EDITOR \ 1. . ^k J iing bri ght ^jr^L 'i I franti c ^nv^w >er , the .swell ^5*o ' rmade goodies and ^^8 -Pr esents $&1y wapped; smuggled?^.

It seems everyone is happy — even here at Bloomsburg — and so we've decided we're going to conform to the norm and j oin all you who are so happy. It seems everyone is in the giving mood. For instance, the faculty is giving term papers and book reports for the holidays. We will say one thing, however, they certainly aren 't biased, everyone gets them. That's what we like — no partiality. Dr. Maietta 's gift to his speech students is probably the most helpful — Phonetic Alphabet Soup. Almost any Friday at 4 o'clock you can see two of our delightful coeds smiling uncontrollably while putting their suitcases in their cars. Their departure is very touching. You 'd think they were never going to see each other. Then comes Monday and they discuss their week-ends. Suitcase Sue: "Where Did You Go?" Sal : "Out." Sue: "What Did You Do?" Sal : "Nothing." Come now girls you can do that much here at BSTC. One of our faithful readers asked who the Dr. Zhivago (which , incidentally, MAT, was spelled wrong, ) was we made reference to in our last attempt at writing for the Maroon and Gold. Dear Marilyn informed the astonished inquirer that he was the doc who operated on Christine Jorgenson. This, of course, satisfied the dear boy. Better luck next time. A suggested memorial for this year 's Senior Class is a huge sign hanging in Waller Hall Lobby— "They do not love that do not show their love." If it's good enough for Shakespeare, it' s good enough for us. That bearcat Shakespeare also said something which is applicable to critics of the Maroon and Gold and the Olympian, "Our doubts are traitors , and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt." We hope that Mr. Rygiel enjoys his holiday reading the stock holders' report of Standard Oil Co. which his multi shorthand students so diligently transcribed for him. Who said penmanship isn't taught anymore ? We further extend our best wishes to Poet Fred Dyer and Playwright Dave Locklin a pursuit of their anticipated attempts. We also hope Glenn Reed's mother doesn't decide she's going to have chicken for Christmas. He may end up scalding his other foot explaining l" lI ' be a cotton pickin ' chicken plucker." Instead of saving Green Stamps some of our students are saving Green Slips because they broke a "Campus Commandment", "Thou shalt _ A. ^__ _ A. t I J1UI (JUl. TV Guide subscriptions have increased tremendously thanks to Dr. DeVoe's philosophic advice, "Keep your eye on TV." "Who 's Who " should be called "What's This " explained one of our more conservative students. We'd like to congratulate those who did make it (and those who should have, but didn't make it, because some of those who shouldn't have been included were.) If you're confused now, you know how we felt when we read the list. And speaking of confusion poor Rich Frey and Bill Stevenson still can't figure out how all their records melted — now boys! Sometimes there is heat in those radiators where you filed your recordings. No Christmas edition would be complete without a list for Santa for our favorite faculty and friends from the Old Philosophers: Students to Faculty — a Guy Fawkes do it yourself kit. Mrs. Miller — a semester supply of sominex. Dr. Shockley — an appointment to the Supreme Court on a mimeograph machine. Dr. Seronsy — a subscription to Time. Dr. Weight — a revised outline and text from Am. Prose. Mr. Sterling and Mr. Adams — a new testing program. Librarians — a new sign "closed for everything." Dr. Fike — a trip to the moon to set up an NEA branch office for future Practicum field trips. Cap Parry — Delores Regan's recipe for Welsh cookies. Elaine Anderson — a muffler for her radiator. Mabel Keafer — a transfer to Penn State. Rebel Davies — the best seller, Care and Feeding of Turtles in Hibernation. Ron Romig — a continued fine administration. And my gift to my partner in Crime, Marilyn, a new set of Belltones, and to my accessary who distorts the facts, Don, a new alarm clock to go with his skinny tie. And if we were Santa Clause we'd see that Joe Zapach's wish — three steady girls — would be granted. Children love to hear the familiar story "Twas the night before Christmas." Since there is a tendency to treat us like children, we have made a humble attempt to enrich your Christmas literature. Twas the night before vacation, when all through the dorm, The only creatures stirring were the usual bookworms. The suitcases were packed by the students with care In hopes that Thursday noon soon would be there. The students were nestled in hard, lumpy beds, While visions of term papers danced in their heads. And Mrs. Miller in her kerchief and Miss Mettler in her cap Had j ust settled down for a long winter's nap. When out on Long Porch there arose such a clatter , They sprang from their beds to see what was the matter. Away to the window the Dean flew like a flash , Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow .Gave a luster of midday to objec ts below. When what to her wondering eyes should appear, But a miniature sports car and eight coeds dear With a little old driver so lively and quick, She knew in a moment it wasn't Saint Nick. More rapid than Sputnik these carousers they came And whistling, and shouting, and calling smutty names. Now, Dashing Dancer, Now, Prancing Vixens, On, Cunning Cupids, On , Devlish Blitzens. To the top of Long Porch, to the top of Waller Hall, Now, dash away, dash away, dash away all! As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they met with the night watchman mount to the sky. So up to the rooftop, the carousers they flew * With a bag full of joys and a blushing Pres. too. And then in a twinkling she heard on the roof The prancing a pawing of each little hoof. As she drew in her head and was turning around, In the fire tower the coeds came with a bound. They were dressed all in leotards from their head to their foot And their clothes were all covered with snow and soot. A bundle of goodies they had on their backs And they look like Dr. Seronsy just opening his pack. Their eyes — how they twinkled, their dimples — how merry Their cheeks were like roses, their noses like cherries. Their droll little mouths were drawn up like bows And the bleach on their hair was a white as the snow. Filter cigarettes dangled from their teeth And the smoke, it encircled their heads like wreaths. They all had cute faces and wore US Keds: They looked like they were ready to jump into bed. „ Though others complained , they were jolly themselves And Mrs. Miller laughed in spite of herself. A wink of her eye and a twist of her head Soon gave them to know they had plenty to dread. She spoke not a word, but went strai ght to her work And filled all the forms, then turned with a jerk. And laying her finger aside of her nose, And giving a nod into bed she goes. Red sprang to his sports car turned on the key, And raced down the hill as fast as could be. But we heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight " Can 't wait till next Christ mas for another good night!" Have a Cool Yule and a Frant ic Fi rs t I MARIL YN and DON . SPORTS HI-LITES.. by BILL FRIEDEL Now that football season has ended two great sports j ump into full swing to fill the gap. As coach Shelly said in assembly, "Basketball is the largest spectator sport, contrary to Coach Blair 's belief." But , f rom what I've heard around campus, both men have to go some to beat Mr. Houk' s wrestling attendance turnout. Wednesday and Thursday held semi excitement and thrills for the campus. Wednesday night the fun started with the J.V.'s completely dominating the Y.M.C.A. crew from Sunbury. The final score didn 't really indicate the complete and thorough beating as Hilgar saw that every man got in the game. In the varsity game that followed, the Huskies once again came out on top but by only one point. The final tab was 72-71 with record-bound Bill Swisher scoring 25 points. My guess is that Dean Hoch had a great big lump in his throat at the game. Especially after he was heard referring to Kutztown as a girl's school/ Seeing that we only beat them by one point, that isn't saying too much for B.S.T.C. On'Thursday morning we got a preview of the outlook on wrestling. It looked pretty good then, and from the outcome against Cortland, 33-3, it looked even better. The Cortland team was rated rather high in the conference. Viewing this point, the matmen seem to be headed for a wonderful season. Gary Allen and Jim Garmen posted pins as the Huskies walked off with 9 of the 10 matches. In the school's bowling league, one of the best in many a moon, it is evident that the tide may be turning and a new league leader may emerge before the end of the first half. The Snappers , headed by Bud Weber, have lost 8 of their last 12 out. Their league lead has now been cut to 3 games and the fireflys , headed by Fred Balantine, are within easy striking distance. As Ron Wetzel, ot the Snappers and head bleacher runner on the basketball team said, "Wh at , me worry? " In closing, we feel that a word or two should be said concerning the Wilkes Tournament which will be held in Wilkes-Barre over the Christmas holidays. This is a national wrestling tournament in which any team that so desires may enter. Best of luck to our Bloomsburg matmen who will participate in these highly competitive matches. Don't forget to be on hand at Centennial Gym when our basketball team returns Tuesday, December 16, to play host to our arch rivals from Kings. Let's all get out and support the team and help them to another victory in 1958. Golden Rams Place Five on STC Team Five West Chester players are featured on the coaches' eighth annual Pennsylvania State Teachers Colleges football all star team.

BSTC To Host High School Tournament Eighty-eight wrestlers, among them some of the best high school matmen in Pennsylvania, will represent eight high schools in the first invitation wrestling tournament to be held at the Bloomsburg State Teachers College. The tourney will feature preliminary, semi-final, and final rounds, beginning Monday, December 22 and ending Tuesday, December 23, according to Russel Houk , Director of Athletics at the college, who is coordinating the event. The tourney will get underway on the afternoon of December 22, when the wrestlers begin arriving on campus for weighing-in sessions at fo u r o'clock. The preliminary matches will start at 8 p.m. in Centennial Gymnasium. On Tuesday, the matmen will weigh-in at ten o'clock , start the semi-finals at 2 p.m., and will square-off for the fin al round at eight o'clock. Drawings for the tourney schedule will be made on Friday, December 19. Although the college has sponsored a very successful invitation basketball tourney for more than three decades, this is the firs t attempt to set up a similar program for the mat sport. The decision to hold the tourney' this year came as the result of the increasing interest of participants and fans in both hie;h school and college meets. This was well-demonstrated in recent years when BSTC again scheduled wrestling as a maj or intercollegiate sport. Houk said recently that all matches will be open to the public, and if sufficient all-around interest is shown in the tourney, it will, in all likelihood, become an annual event. Large trophies will be awarded to first , second , and third-place team winners ; individual first-place winners in the eleven divisions will receive trophies, while second and third place winners will get medals. The roster of high schools who have entered teams in the tourney includes the following: Shamokin, Sunbury, Danville , Elysburg, Benton , Berwick, Hughesville, and §. Williamsport. Many of the present college varsity squad members are alumni of these schools, including Jimmy Garman , senior from Sunbury, who holds the 123 pound championship in the Pennsylvania State Teachers College Conference. — Charles Montedoro , Edinboro ; Phil Clifford , California; Bob Stledel, Kutztown ; John Price, Millersville; Luke Burns, Shipponsburg ; John Griffith , Indiana. Hess Grille "I GOT TAPPED " by J im Bray This is a familiar saying tnat anyone will hear if they go to the bowling alleys on a Wednesday night. As the first half of the bowling season comes to a close, the race for the league leadership tightens. The Snappers, headed by Bud Weber , are on top; following in hot pursuit are the Fireflys, headed by Fred Ballantinc. For the first half of the season, three men that, arc doing good j obs for their te ams a re, Bill McCoskey wi th an over-alJ average of 167, Phil V/uMron 165, and Bob Mescan 164. The high individual scoring honors for a single game goes to Ron Ralston with a 237. Terrific j ob, Ron. Bill Miller, of the Equalizer s, holds th e high for a three game series with a 589. The Snappers hold the high game series with an 870 and the Fireflys hold the high series at three games with a 2492. 1 would like to congratulate all and wish them good bowling in me iuiui f.1. Now to the lighter side of things. There has been a question raised in the league concerning mixed bowling. I'm all for it and also think the co-eds will add a little bit of color to the Wednesday nights. I don't know if the averages will drop or not , but for goodness sakes, men, don't get carried away. We are looking forward to a great second half of bowling. I have been told by many fellows that this year 's bowling has been the best that has hit the campus in quite a while. Bowling is a good, clean sport enj oyed by both players and spectators. So, when you have nothing to do on a Wednesday night , take a trip out to the Danville lanes and root for your team. Bye for now, see you at the lanes. Bloomsbur g Wrestle rs Post Decisive Win Over Cortland Men 's Intramura l Basketball Begins The Intramural Basketball season began in Centennial Gym on Monday evening when four teams participated i>n the first two games of the season. According to Mr. Heilman two games will be played simultaneously, one in both the large and small gyms. Games will begin at sixthirty with fifty minutes being allowed for each game. The contests will be divided into four eight minute quarters with five minutes being allowed for half time. At the present time four teams have already entered, but at least two more teams are expected to submit their names to complete the list. No definite schedule has been confirmed at present, but as many games as possible will be played. Plans are being made to schedule games for at least twice a week , and additional games will be played whenever the gym is available. Some of these additional games will be played at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Mr. Heilman is the faculty advisor of the league with Bobby Warren acting in the capacity of student coordinator. Plans are also being made to form a water-polo league. The pool might be made available while intramural basketball games are being played. Basketball News Wrestlin g News In its sixth year at BSTC, wrestling outdraws both football and basketball in student body attendance per contest. A count by athletic director and wrestling coach, Russell Houk , revealed that nearly half of all Bloomsburg students attended the matches at Centennial Gymn asium last year. Th e overall total however falls far behind basketball because the ball-and-hoop sport is seen by more out-of-college spectators and has a larger schedule Attendance at college wrestling events is growing yearly. Interest at BSTC has been whetted by the elimination matches held recently in combined assembly. The first chance for Bloomsburg fans to see their matmen on the home floor will not come until January 14, when the Huskies meet Lycoming in a non-conference bout. Following Lycoming College are two matches j udged by Houk to be two of the year's toughest , Millersville and Lock Haven. The 33-3 win over Cortland last Saturday showed the Huskies to be in excellent early season form in spite of only two weeks' practice. Houk reports that strong, capable JV boys are constantly keeping the varsity members "on their toes" and competition for the key traveling spots is hard won. The traveling team is decided by elimination matches, which can be held before each maj or contest if there are challengers for any position. Several newcomers to the college scene have already earned recognition and a berth in the varsity roster. Among these outstanding freshmen are Maynard Aungst , two time state champion in the 115 pound class; Bill Robb ; and Gary Allen , runner-up in the state 177 pound division. Many other underclassmen are pushing lor team positions nnd the line-up at no time remains static. All In nil the BSTC student body enn look forward to a full and exciting wrestling sonson. Photo Service , Inc. 36 E. Main Si. Blootmburg, Pa. Finest Photo f inishin g The Bloomsburg wrestlers are off and running to another victorious season after winning their firs t match of the season by swamping a highly touted Cortland team by a score of 33 to 3. The wrestlers gave us a preview of what is expected of them this year when they gave a fine exhibition to see who would participate in Saturday 's match against Cortland. The squad has eliminations before each match to see who will represent Bloomsburg in varsity competition. The only BSTC grappler to lose in the Cortland match was Stan Elinsky. It was quite evident that he was up against a much superior opponent, but Stan showed his own wrestling know-how as he escaped pins time and time again . One of the most promising wrestlers on the squad is Freshman Bill Robb, who showed some fine form in winning the most exciting match of the evening from his opponent by a score of 15 to 8. State champ Jim Garman performed up to all expectations as he pi nned his man in the second period. The only other pin of the evening was registered by Allen. Charley Riegel, back on the squad after a year's absence, looked very impressive as he wrestled in the unlimited class and outpointed his opponent without too much difficulty. Houk's grapplers will be idle in STC competition juntil after the Christmas holidays, but they do have a practice coming up with Bucknell next week. This should round them into good shape for the Wilkes Tournament in which they will participate during Christmas vacation. "B" Club News There once was a time when you would not have found Coach Shelly wearing any attire other than his "winning " clothes to a basketball game, but that time has passed and he now places more confidence in the mental and physical abilities of his squad and less reliance upon Lady Luck. For surely, it could not have been Lady Luck who has spared him a losing season since he came to BSTC in 1949. Ten years have seen Shelly build Bloomsburg into one of the top teams of eastern Pennsylvania Teachers College circuit. Many individual and team records have been set by Bloomsburg in the last few years, not the least of which has been the conference scoring record. In spite of this scoring record , the year saw BSTC finish fifth in the conference. Coach Shelly is optimistic about the prospects for this year, although it is too early to estimate the power of opponents. At present, the Millersville and West Chester games appear as the toughest contests for the Huskies. Mansfield is supposedly improved over last year but has dropped its first two games. In the statewide Teachers College Conference, Indiana shows promise of ranking high but is not included in the BSTC schedule. The Husky mentor was pleased with the showing of the squad in the Kutztown game, but he said he could see the effects of the Thanksgiving vacation. A near two week break in practice greatly influenced the condition of the team. It is hoped that the boys will be back in pro-holiday form for the Cheyney and Kinc 's t ilts . Defense, Shelly says, Is definitely Jh o club's greatest weakness, but there are rays of hope. The rebounding of Shutovich, Lloyd, and Farmer is encouraging and practice drills will strengthen the defensive position. The coach points out that college basketball is plagued by vacations and holidays as is no other maj or sport. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and semester break nil como during the season to segment the training period and cause each return from vacation to bo n time of rebuilding and reviewIng. In 1958, another problem has been The "B" Club, the women 's athletic organization on campus, would like to encourage freshman girls to j oin the club. Five hundred points must be earned in order to be eligible for membership. Points may be secured by participation in group or individual sports. These points should be handed in at Miss Eleanor Wray 's office to be recorded . It is interesting to note that five of the seven basketball teams in the intramural program were fresh man teams. "B" Club is happy to have these girls and hope that they will continue to participate in other club-sponsored activities. Intramural volleyball will get started as soon as the teams are formed. Participants can sign up on the bulletin board in Noetling Hall or at Centennial Gym. Potential players are urged to register as soon as possible in order that a schedule can be made up. Questions concerning this program can be directed to Barb Wooster, Sally Sayles, or Margie Ginnick. added to basketball's headaches at BSTC. Players are now required to don sport coats for the evening meal at six o'clock. The new order shortens practice sessions by at least a half hour because previously athletes had been served later in the evening. When questioned about school spirit, Shelly replied, 'The student body can best back the team by student interest and attendance at games. Appreciation of excellence in ball-handling, rebounding, and shooting are incentives for the good performance of any basketball team , and are often more important than organized pep rallies. There is no reason why students should miss the games if they budget their time intelligently. A game takes roughly an hour and fifteen minutes and there is not a student who could not spare this much time." He felt that organized cheering is beneficial as led by BSTC cheerleaders, but that It can easily be carried to exUremes. He cites as an example the German band of King's College which fans agree is annoying. The Maroon and Gold coach expects Rood basketball from veterans Burger, Shutovich , Swisher, Mascioll , and Francis and can rely upon a relatively strong bench. The front line is, in Shelly's words, a "bit shaky, " but steps are being taken to correct the weakness. Much credit for the conference scoring record goes to Bill Swisher, top scorer for the college club. Swisher sprained his ankl e during the Kutztown Rame. He will be back In action when the team travels to Cheyney. Shelly feels there is little the opposition can do to harness Swisher's shooting capabilities. By the next home game, on December 16 with King's, the Huskies will be in top shape and ready for the crowded after-Christmas'SChedule, TliH 'oniiii HliM's — Nikk l and Robin Twas the day before vacation at' BSTC Not a creature was stirring, not even a student. The leotards were hung by the radiators with care. In hopes they would dry before January 6. Dr. Russell in his earmuffs , and Whitey Farrow in his cap, Had just settled down to finish the Olympian. The dorm students were nestled all snug in their beds. (General permission to go home was cancelled. ) While visions of Scrooge danced on the Alcoa hour. When out in the parking lot there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to the floor, where else? Away to the window I flew like a nasn , Threw open the shutter and fell out. The moon on the gravel, there was no snow, Gave a luster of the anthracite lines to long porch. When what to my wondering eyes should appear , Dr. Kuster, who'd you expect , Santa Claus? He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot. (Teachers are underpaid?) And his car was upholstered with Rayco seat covers. A briefcase of bluebooks he swung on his back (This is a present?) He looked cold. He said not a word, but went straight to his work. And filled all the leotards with biological specimens. And laying a finger along side of his nose, an d n odding to Frank up the elevator he rose. But we heard him exclaim, as he rode out of sight , "We're doing our Christmas shopping at Robert Hall's this year." MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM NIKKI ANt> ROBIN Keek' s Linen Shop BLOOMSBURG and BERWICK Ra cu si n's FAMOUS BRAND CLOTHING FOR MEN Waller Hall Coeds Hold Yule Fete Climaxing the Christmas activities in Waller Hall Dorm will be a party in the Husky Lounge from 10 p.m. til midnight on Sunday, December 14. Lorry Yeager, social chairman of Waller Hall, has announced that the theme for this year 's party is "Waller Claus Toyshop." Included on the evening's pro- , gram will be entertainment by various Waller Hall girls. Any group or individual who wishes to participate in the entertainment is urged to do so by the chairman, Jan Jones. A carol sing is also an annual feature of the Waller Hall Christmas Party. This year 's singing will be led by Becky Henry and accompanied by Jeanine Aires. Christmas spirits will be revealed at the party and will receive a gift from the girl whom they spirited for one week. Refreshments and dancing will follow the activities. This year, all women faculty members have been invited to attend the Toyshop party. A Sunday night was chosen so that student teachers who are off campus might also find it possible to attend. You 'd Better Be Good At a recent meeting of Santa Claus's helpers, it was decided that the staff of the MAROON & GOLD should be in charge of distributing faculty gifts. Not all of you have, been good, but none the less, Santa Claus hasn't forgotten you. For Dr. Russell — 27 eels so he can practice each of his recipes. Dr. Thoenen — a case of do-ityourself current events. For Miss Barnes — a manicure set to be used on her understudies. Dr. Maietta -.- an audiometer which plays, "Beep-Beep" by the Playmates. For Dr. Wagner — a six-weeks course in Audio-Visual Aids. Mr. Van Norman — a six weeks course in Psychology. Dr. Shockley — I think Santa's ashamed of you. Mr. Rygiel — an abacus to count his classroom points on. Dean Hoch — will get coal in his stocking this year. You should have waited until after Christmas to make the announcement regarding Saturday classes. Santa's helpers hope the rest of the faculty do not feel slighted , but you must have your letters in by Thursday, December 18 to be eligible for presents.
