dedicated.

As

of the class to graduate during the celebration

of the one-hundredth anniversary of our school, we, the
class of nineteen

hundred and thirty nine, wish to pay

tribute to the spirit

which blazed the

trail for progress.

The spirit of the early teachers who contributed so
much to the development of the school is still with us.
It has grown through the years and is now exemplified
in the fine

academic program and

in the extensive build-

ing proiects on our campus.

As we

must be admitted that her manners are quite perfect.
Then there is lien Hancock, wIkj wilted many a shirt ccjllar iiublishing the

It is interesting:; to note that out of the eight major games in two years the
Bloomsburg soccer team held fnur of the opposing teams scoreless, while no
opponent scored more than one point in any one game during the 1938 season.
With such an outstanding record, soccer was immediately made a varsity sport.

Coach Geori^e C. Buchht-il in the 1938 season produced for the second consecutive year a championship Pennsylvania State Teachers College track team.
The track and tield season was opened with a 70J/4 and 55^/ victory over the Bald
Eagles of Lock Haven. Captain \an Devender set the pace, winning for events
and taking third in another.
The next event was the I'enii Relays at I'hiladel])hia in which the Huskie
quartet triumphed in its classification b)- a margin of seventy yards over its
nearest C(jnipetitor. Rider College of New Jerse)-. The next dual meet saw two
Freshmen, I'.onham and Stover, leading the Huskies to a 85>'2 to 40>^ victory
over Shippensburg.

Another feature of the season was the State meet held
which the Huskies successfully defended their championship
with the Huskie captain, the "Flying \an," the only triple
and high scorer of the meet, leading the way, Bloomsburg
to 43 for West Chester, who placed second. Six events were

Van Devender, Harwcjod. Parker, Mulhern, and Zelesky is that they
have never lost a dual meet since they entered college. Although their absence

Coach Ruchheit of another highly successful season. Commendations also go
to George Washinko for his managing the team the past two years.

In 1938 the name "College Cmnicil" was adopted for the executive division
of the Community Government .\ssociation because the Council was not a "student" council. The Council is a group of students and faculty members organized
to create a better feeling of cooperation among students, faculty and administration.

The Community Government Association sent its president, Ray JMcBride,
Purdue University to represent them at the annual convention of tlie National Students Federation of .\nierica. of which Bloomsburg is a member.
The local group also sponsored a convention on student government and attended in a body the convention of the Eastern States Association of Professional Schools for teachers lield in New York City.

During tlit- last two years the fashiun has been tn nryanizc. mi college campuses, a club tn discuss world affairs of the day. lMan\- of them were organized to
follow the lead (if the "Town Meeting of the Air." While searching tlirough
the old college tiles, it was found that this idea is not new at llloomsburg. In
the .Mumni Ouarterl)- for the spring of 1926 was described the Current Events
Club. This club aimed "to keep its members informed on significant happenings
of the da\' through discussion of current magazines and newspajier articles
chosen

b}- the students."
In the spring semester of 1938. the I'ublic Affairs I<'orum was (irganized
under the direction of the Ceillege Council and sponsored b\- I'rof. I'.dward A.
Reams of the Social Studies Department. The purpose of this forum is similar
to that of the Current Events Club for they discuss "tojiics pertinent to the

of the world today and also problems of purely local interest."
in the social rooms of Noetling Hall
where spirited discussions take place. .Some of the topics discussed were the
"Czcchiislovaklau Crisis", "Personality" as presented by Jill Edwards. "./;•/ and
cuniiii/". VVins'on Churchill's "Rcf'lv tn Hitler". "CoUeqe Spirit".
its Ixcal
"Detnocratic and Ref^itbliean Platforms", " Reniakunj Boundaries of Europe",
the "Dies Cantpaif/ii .IfiainsI Un-. nieriean leti^ities" "Tenure P>iU and its Possible Clianiies" " Denineriiev Combats Dictatorships", Discussion about Alaroon
and Cold Newspaper. "Hitler's Marching in Europe".
The main social event of the year w as an outing held at the Hoy Scout Cabin.
Included on the progra:".i were games, swimming, a picnic lunch, and storytelling as the .group sat around the fireplace.

asking the geography students of Idoomsburg to form a charter chapter for a
national geography fraternity. The scholastic ciualihcations for membership in
the fraternity as required by the naticjnal organization were practically the same
as those chosen by the "inner circle".
The national constitution specified that students who major in geography

requisite scholastic rating in both geography and other college work may join
