BLOOMSBURG’S 1939

Honie-coniing
The Bloomsburg campus was the scene of another great
Home-Coming Day on Saturday, November 4, when a full and
varied program attracted hundreds of
their contact with their Alma Mater.

Alumni back

to

renew

Many of the graduates arrived in town the night before to
stay with friends and relatives. The old clock on Carver Hall
had not gone far beyond the stroke of nine, when a stream of
cars began to come up the hill. Visitors arriving in Bloomsburg
found the town decorated for the occasion, and many of the
stores displayed welcome signs. The campus was also gaily
decorated in maroon and gold, the colors of Bloomsburg and
also of Kutztown, which sent its football team to help entertain the visitors at the game in the afternoon.
An Alumni desk was set up in the hall opposite the old
gymnasium, and this served as headquarters for the Alumni
Association during the day. The arrangement followed that
which was used for the first time at the Centennial, and served
as the center of Alumni activities.
The day’s program was officially opened at eleven o’clock,
when the Maroon and Gold Band presented a concert in the
old gymnasium. The program, which lasted one hour, was heard
by a large number, and was well received. The band, in its
maroon and gold uniforms, presented a beautiful picture against
the background of the elaborate decorations which had been
placed there under the supervision of Prof. George J. Keller, of
the art department.

An informal luncheon was served at noon in the diningroom. There was no program, the entire time being devoted to
renewing friendships and the usual conversations that take
place when graduates get together.
During the interval between the noon luncheon and the
game, the new gymnasium and junior high school
building were open for inspection by the guests of the College.
These fine buildings will be available for use as soon as the
necessary equipment is purchased. One fine feature of the gymnasium, which caused many graduates to wish that they were

The main gymnasium provided for a basketball court
eighty-four by forty-eight feet. Permanent bleachers provide
seats for a thousand people. Two auxiliary gymnasiums for
class work are in the rear center of the building. There are also
classrooms to be used by the Department of Health Education,
and offices for the members of the staff.

A large crowd was present at the football game, which began at 2:30. Bloomsburg's opponent in this contest was the
team from Kutztown. The Bloomsburg team played a fine
game and, although unsuccessful in obtaining a victory, held the
Kutztown team to a score of 7-0. Color was added to the game
by the presence of the Maroon and Gold Band, the Kutztown
band, and the high school bands from Jersey Shore and Bloomsburo.

The athletic program of the afternoon included a dual meet
between the cross-country teams of Bloomsburg and West
Chester. The race was timed to end during the intermission between the first and second halves of the football name. Bloomsburg maintained its record of an undefeated season by winning
the meet with a score of 2-29. Dan Kemple, of Bloomsburg, was
the first to finish, with Lavelle, of Bloomsburg. coming in second.

After the game there was an informal tea in the old gymnasium. Members of the faculty and of the student body served
as hostesses.

Dinner was served at 6: 15 to a crowd that filled the diningroom. A fine meal was served by the dining-room staff. Music
was provided by the Maroon and Gold Dance Band, a fine new
organization, the first of its kind on the campus since 1931. The
invocation was given by William B. Sutliff, former Dean of Instruction. Acting President Harvey A. Andruss presided as
toastmaster. Brief remarks were made by R. Bruce Albert,
president of the Alumni Association, and by Dr. Francis B.
Haas, Superintendent of Public Instruction. Dr. Haas, who still
has the interest of Bloomsburg close to his heart, was an interested visitor at most of the activities of the day, and was warmly greeted bv his friends.

Mr. Toastmaster, Doctor and Mrs. Haas, and

One does not often have an onoortunity such as we have

that we are not met to part, but to bind the ties which exist between two people and the Faculty of the State Teachers College
at Bloomsburg. There is probably a note of sadness, but there is
also a note of gladness in the realization that the bonds of
friendship cannot be broken by absence or the passage of time.
All of us here in our own way signify the same spirit.

I like to think of Doctor and Mrs. Haas as lovers of youth
parents of three fine children
in fact from the professional
point of view they serve the children of Pennsylvania. The State
Superintendent is indeed servus servorurn puerorum. He is in
fact a servant of the servants of the children of this Commonwealth. In serving children they have come to possess this spirit
of youth.

Youth is not a time of life
it is a state of mind. It is not a matter of
ripe cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is a freshness of the
deep springs of life.

Youth means a temperamental predominance

of courage over timidity,
of the appetite for adventure over love of ease. This often exists in a
man of fifty more than in a boy of twenty.

Nobody grows

old by merely living a number of years; people grow
by deserting their ideals. Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up
enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and

and diction. After the first recording, regular work in the speech
department continues. Then a second recording is made, using
similar material so that improvements or deficiencies may be
noted bv the student as well as the instructor. At the close of
the speech work, a final recording is made. This time the student
selects his own material to give auditory evidences of his improvement in either speaking or reading. By this time the student has filled both sides of his record, which becomes his personal property, thus giving him a permanent recording of his
own voice for future use.
In addition to this fundamental work for all students entering the college, a speech major is offered for those who wish to
select it and be certified to teach soeech in the public schools of
Pennsylvania. This work includes both training in the artistic
side of speech, such as dramatics and public speaking, as well as
the scientific side in speech correction.

A third feature of the work of the speech department at
Bloomsburg includes the availability of a speech clinic for use of
teachers and pupils in the service area of the college. Children

Advertising is offered by Professor A. Park Orth to students in the Business Education Curriculum, with the idea of
increasing interest of those who may choose Retail Selling as a
further field of work.

Methods courses in Social Business subjects and Junior
Business training are offered by Professor A. Park Orth to
business students for the first time.
The science students have an opportunity to take a course
in Genetics, offered by Dr. Kimber C. Kuster, which is a part of
the increased offering in the field of biological science.
Professor S. I. Shortess offers advanced courses in Qualitative Analysis, which will be of special interest to students in the
field of Physical Science and Chemistry.
Dr. T. P. North continued to offer a course in School Law
and Administration, which has been made necessary by the recent legislation relating to teachers and teaching problems in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, passed during the last few
years.

With the equipping of the new stage in the College Auditorium in Carver Hall, it will be possible to offer a course in
Creative Dramatics to those who are interested in this phase of
speech work. Advanced courses in speech correction will also be
offered under the direction of Miss Alice Johnson, in a new
course to be known as Speech Clinic I,
Beginning the second semester all the machines used by
the Business Education Students will be centralized in Room 42,
Science Hall, occupying the quarters last used by the Historical
Project operating under the W.P.A. This will bring together
in one place adding machines, calculating machines, dictaphones, mimeographs, mimeoscopes, multigraphs, and other machines which, with the growth of the Department of Business
Education have had to be located in three or four different
places and in as many buildings. All office practice courses will
be taught in this room, which will not only make all of the machines available in one place at one time, but will provide a
classroom which will accommodate 40 or more students.
An auxiliary biological laboratory will be re-equipped in
Room 23 of Science Hall, in order to make more space available
to a large number of students for experimental work.

SERVICE AREA CONEERENCE on CAMPIS
A service area conference was held at the college Saturday
morning, February 10.
A speaker from the State Department of Public Instruction
discussed Teacher Rating as related to Teacher Improvement.
Following the first address several discussion groups were
formed to provide an opportunity for the treatment of educational problems of a more specialized nature.

College at Bloomsburg sponsored this conference. They are
Kappa Delta Pi (Coeducational Flonorary Fraternity): Phi
Sigma Pi (Honorary Men's Fraternity): Pi Omega Pi (Commercial Education Fraternity): Gamma Theta Upsilon (Geograph Fraternity): Alpha Psi Omega (Dramatic Fraternity).
This event was attended by Alumni members of various
Fraternity Groups who have Graduated during the period of the
last ten or fifteen years, as well as superintendents, principals,
and teachers from schools located in Columbia, Montour,

Northumberland and Luzerne counties.
A large number of Bloomsburg Alumni who attended
the dinner meeting of the Columbia County Branch of the College Alumni Association remained in Bloomsburg for the morning sessions of the Service Area Conference.
Those attendinq the Service Area Conference had an
opportunitv to attend the basketball game scheduled for Saturdav evening when Mansfield S. T. C. met Coach George C.

SPORTS FOR ALL
The sloqan “Sports for All, held as the ideal on most
college campuses, is a reality at Bloomsburg. For years it has
been an objective that was unanimously endorsed by the administration and the student body. From year to year, slow progress has been made toward the realization of this goal. More
and more students, men and women, were participating in some
"

sport.

There was not much diversity at times, and there was a
great lack of equipment. In fact, these elements did more to defeat the objective than lack of student interest.
Recently a ruling of the State Department requires that a
student participate in some athletic activity every semester that
he is in college. This is now a requirement for graduation. To
put this requirement in effect at Bloomsburg did not require a
great amount of effort, because the great majority of students
were already engaged in some sport, merely for the pleasure to
be gained from it.

At the beginning of this year, there was equipment for badminton and archery, two new sports for the girls, and field hockey went back on the program for the first time in five years.
Added to this were soccer, volley ball, cage ball, and tennis, all
of which attracted great numbers of students. The improvements on the campus provided for ample space for fields, and
the students lost no time in taking full advantage of the opportunities.

Only those who are physically incapacitated are excused
from participation in some sport each semester. Of the women,
who number about 325, there are only a dozen or so in this
classification, and they would be pleased to join in the fun if
they were able.
It is probable that, if the compulsory clause were removed,
few women would drop athletic activities. Only in remote cases
is it necessary to use pressure. Most of the time it is far more
difficult to get the students off the athletic fields than it is to persuade them to participate in sports.
A similar program has been developed for the men. and it
is still being improved. For years they have had numerous opportunities to engage in varsity sports, and that calendar is constantly being enlarged. In addition, there is an intramural program that has for its main feature basketball in the winter, interclass track in the spring, and tennis during the spring and fall.
The alumni QUARTERLY.

A visitor to the campus during any fine day in the autumn
could have seen a great amount of activity. He would have
seen a large group of girls playing badminton on the court between the old gymnasium and Science Hall. Others would be
playing field hockey at the end of the football fiield. Still more
would be playing soccer on the old athletic field, where two
soccer fields have been laid out. There were three volley ball
courts that were busy most of the time.
In the winter, interest turns to basketball, indoor baseball,

cage ball, and volley ball. In the spring, the outdoor sports are
resumed, with a great amount of time devoted to tennis.

When

the new gymnasium is opened for use, the new
pool v/ill provide opportunity to engage in one of the
most popular sports of today, and these facilities will be available the year round.

swimming

The whole program has been built up with the purpose of
developing healthy young men and women to go out into the
schools of Pennsylvania. It also provides training that is essential these days, because these same young men and women will
be called upon to develop athletic programs in the schools in
which they will become teachers.

Dean Andriiss Addresses
Commercial Teachers
Dean Harvey A. Andruss, Acting President of the State
Teachers College, Bloomsburg, addressed the National Commercial Teacher Federation meeting at the William Penn Hotel,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, during the Christmas holidays. Dean
Andruss discussed “Teaching Bookkeeping from the Auditor s
Point of View.” The national organization usually holds its annual meeting in Chicago, and the Pittsburgh meeting was the
first held as far east as Pennsylvania. Dean Andruss had a message of importance for teachers who are interested in newer
methods of instruction in the field of business education, as he is
the author of a book on the teaching of accounting and has
written a number of magazine articles and monographs along
the

same

line.

FOOTBALL
One could not say that the 1939 football season at Bloomsburg was a successful one. But back of the figures hes a chain of
circumstances that explain, at least in part, th.» poor showing
as revealed by the record. Running through the newspaper accounts of almost every game appears the word outweighed.”
As some of the facts given below will demonstrate, the Maroon
and Gold team entered every game with a great handicap
‘

against them. On some occasions, bad decisions by the officials
broke the morale of the team, and the game was lost before the
boys could pull themselves together.

Extracts from press notices on some of the games will give
the reader an idea of some of the conditions which the wearers
of the Maroon and Gold had to face:

“A forty-yard pass on the second play of the fourth period,
which Referee Doremus ruled was good because of interference
gave Millersburg the ball on the Husky one-yard line at Millersville and led to a 19-7 victory for the Lancaster county club over
Bloomsburg Teachers.
The Huskies, showing more drive and fight than any Maroon and Gold eleven in recent years, moved to a touchdown
in the first three and a half minutes of play.
The much heavier Millersville club was unable to do anything on the ground, the speedy Bloomsburg line breaking up
such plays before they got started, but they used a short, snap
pass from just back of the scrimmage line with telling effect, and
during the game completed 13 of 18 passe for a total of 258
yards.

Flashing a brand of football that sparkled, the Bloomsburg

highly-touted Lock Haven squad before being nosed out in the
closing minutes of the game by the Havenites, 21-18. The
Bloomsburg boys led 18-12 with 8 minutes to play and the highly favored Lock Haven team was sorely pressed before finally
scoring a touchdown and safety. The game was played Saturday, October 21.

Thirty-five hundred alumni and friends of the Bloomsburg

Homecoming football game when Kutztown nosed out the

the Speaker

Harvey A. Andruss, acting president of the Bloomsburg
State Teachers College, spoke on “Professional Fraternities and
Their Place in Education” at the opening of the conclave of the
Pi Omeqe Pi Fraternity at the William Penn Hotel. Pittsburgh,
held in December,

He

spoke

in part as follows:

“In order to discuss the place which professional fraterniin the field of commercial education, it is necessary
firt to determine the place of a professional organization in the
fraternity world itself. Following the organization of Phi Beta
Kappa, there were numerous other societies founded throughout
our country bearing a Greek-letter name. Some confined themselves to the colleges of the South, while others were founded
largely in the northern and eastern states. During the Civil

War,

collegiate activity

was

practically suspended.

However,

following this nationwide conflict, many of these organizations
provided fraternity homes, and the social fraternity came to be a
necessary adjunct of colleges throughout our nation.

“Since the opening of this century, there have been many
fraternities organized in the last forty years than in
the preceding one-hundred. Younger fraternities suffered from
the World War and the period of depression following 1929,
the organizations of college youth have continued to grow.

arship in both education and commerce coupled with the promise of professional success in teaching.
“It is truly remarkable that in a period of less than sixteen
years, this organization has grown to the size of thirty-five
chapters, twenty-eight of which exist in teachers colleges.

‘The future of professional fraternities in the field of commercial education depends upon their acceptance of the challenge to do something constructive. This comes to each member
after he has been initiated and inducted into full fellowship. The
wearing of a pin. the attendance of business meetings are in
themselves the mere skeleton of an organization. It is evident
that we must clothe the skeleton with bone, sinew, muscle, and
a will-to-do which will bring greater recognition and respect to
the field of their calling.
“Commercial education, at the present time and in the
future, will progress in the measures that such organizations as
professional fraternities are able to band themselves together
and do those things would be impossible for individuals to
achieve working in other ways. Some chapters of Pi Omega Pi
in education, to have meetings of a professional-social nature,
sponsor such projects as State commercial contests, loan funds
for worthy students, the publication of worthwhile articles
through the medium of news letters, and many other activities
which renew the interest of their members and let the educational world at large know that enthusiasm among the students who
represent the most promising in this ever-growing field of education and business.

His condition early in the week showed some improvement

Judge Herring, a lifelong resident of Orangeville and a

member

of the fourth generation of his family to reside in that
village after coming to this county in 1800, was the seventh
jurist to serve on the bench of Columbia and Montour counties
in the sixty-eight years since this judicial district was created.
lifelong Democrat, he had long been active in the party,
but his only participation as a candidate was the vear before
his successful campaign for the judgeship. In 1936 he was one
of the two Democratic delegates from the Fifteenth Congressional District to the party convention which nominated President Roosevelt for his second term.
Upon ascending the bench, he gave unstintingly of his
time and energy to his duties and almost daily was at his office
in the court house here or at Danville. The increasing demands
of the office were met with sessions of court held frequently in
addition to the four regular terms and the weekly routine sessions.

many

years.

Dr. Swisher was a native of Muncy, but it was to Jerseytown. from where he traveled to Bloomsburg to enter the old
academy on West Third Street, that he gave his allegiance. He
was a frequent visitor there in his later years. Dr. Swisher’s
outstanding ability brought him many honors throughout the
world. In Washington, where he was a leading educator for
many years, he was recognized as one of that city s outstanding
men in the cultural field.
His death brings to mind the fact that many who were later
to attain prominence received their inspiration at Bloomsburg.

Emeritus professor since 1927, Dr. Swisher had been professor of history at George Washington from 1896 until that
time. In all his 30 years there, he never appeared before a class
without being dressed in a morning coat.
But if his “old school” dress and manner were out of date,
his knowledge and ability to teach never were. In 1936 the university established a Charles Clinton Swisher annual history
prize to be awarded in his honor. He established the school’s
history department in 1896 and for 10 years thereafter taught
all the courses from ancient to modern history. In later years
he specialized in medieval history.
In December a portrait of Dr. Swisher, which hangs in the
university library, was formally dedicated to him. The picture
was a presentation of the Swisher Memorial Society, named
for the doctor, on the occasion of his 93rd birthday anniversary.
Dr. Swisher was born in Muncy, Pa. Extensively educated,

Interest in the art of the dance has been considerably heightened in Bloomsburg during recent years, largely through the
presentations of the artists’s course series, and this year’s program built up even greater enthusiasm for the art.

Hans Wiener, who is known in Europe, Asia and America,
was born in Vienna. As his reputation as a dancer grew he
appeared in theater, concert and opera in many leading European cities. He accepted an extended tour in the Far East and for
two years taught fourteen different nationalities in his school at
Shanghai. In America, he opened his school first in New York
and then in Boston where, year after year, he has produced and
performed in the Pop season of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

Miss Thumey received her diploma from Mary Wigman and

JOSEPH

WAGNER

IN PIANO RECITAL

A program of sixteen numbers, including two of his own
composition, \vas presented by Josef Wagner, German pianist
and composer, at a concert held Friday evening, February 9, in
the auditorium of the College before a large audience.
The audience included members of the Bloomsburg State
Teachers Collene Alumni Association of Columbia County
which met for a reunion at the college.
The Sonata in A minor by Mozart opened the program and
introduced the audience to an artist of breath-taking power and
brilliance. Full-toned music in the heavier strains as well as a
light, quick touch in the delicate passages were characteristics of
his playing and proved him an artist of varied abilities.
His interpretation of “Sonata Appassiionata” by Beethoven
was vital and sincere.
Seldom does Bloomsbura have

the opportunity to hear a
tyoe of music, presented with such genius, and
the second part of the program, which followed a short intermission, continued the high standard of musicianship marking
the first part.
A well-arranged sequence of six preludes by Chopin was the
first number following intermission. “Poissons d or (Goldfish)”,

program of

this

by Claude Debussy and “March” by Serge ProkofiefF came
next on the program.
Much acclaim greeted his playing of two numbers of his
own composition, “Variations on a French Nursery Song” and
“Toccata”. The program closed with “Caprice in E Major”,
Paganini-Liszt. and “Soiree de Vienne”, by Strauss-Gruenfeld.

MIXED CHORUS PRESENTS CONCERT
One hundred twenty

well-blended voices, comprising the

mixed chorus of the College, and the pleasing tenor voice of
Eugene Conley as soloist, brought to a large audience an exprogram, in a concert presented Friday evening.
April 12. under the direction of Harriet M. Moore.
The presentation marked the climax of the entertainment
course, which this year has included seven outstanding num-

cellent musical

bers.

Mrs. John K. Miller was accompanist for Mr. Conley, and
Spencer Roberts 42 played for the mixed chorus.
The program consisted of several numbers by the chorus,
two groups of songs by Mr. Conley, and the cantata “Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast” by Coleridge-Taylor, with the words by
Longfellow. The cantata included a fine tenor solo by Mr. Conley.

This is the first time that the chorus has been able to appear
on the stage without being badly crowded. The remodeling of
the stage has made available adequate room for a group s
large a sthe mixed chorus. The members, wearing black robes,
were seated on bleachers, and presented a verv fine picture.
The manner in which the program was presented gave ample
evidence of fine direction on the part of Miss Moore, and
much hard work on the part of the chorus.

A number of new courses are
being offered during the second
semester.
One of the new courses is in advertising, and is being offered by Prof. A. Park Orth to students in the business education
curriculum, with the idea of increasing interest among those
who may choose retail selling as a further field of work.
Also offered for the first time are methods courses in social
business subjects and junior business training. These are for
business students and are taught by Prof. Orth.

The field of biological science has an increased offering in a
course in genetics, offered by Dr. Kimber C. Kuster. Prof. S. I.
Shortess offers an advanced course in qualitative analysis, which
will be of special interest to students in the field of physical
science and chemistry.

Carver Hall, it is now possible to offer a course in Creative Dramatics to those who are interested in this phase of
speech work. Advanced courses in speech correction are also
offered under the direction of Miss Alice Johnston in a new
course known as Speech Clinic I.
Beginning with the second semester all of the machines used
by the business education students have been centralized in
Room 42, Science Hall, occupving the quarters last used by the
historical project operating under the WPA. This brings together in one place adding machines, calculating machines,
dictaphones, mimeographs, mimeoscopes, multigraphs and other
machines which, with the growth of the department of business
education, have had to be located in three or four different
places and in as many buildings. All office practice courses are
taught in this room, which not only makes all of the machines
available in one place at one time, but provides a class room
which accommodates forty or more students.
An auxiliary biological laboratory has been re-equipped in

Bloomsburg State Teachers College mile relay team raced

Friday evening, February 9, for their second straight win in
those games.

The Huskies led West Chester to the tape by ten yards
with Rider College, of Trenton, third. The time of 3:33.8 was
better than the 3:35 recorded in winning a year ago despite the
fact that Harry Jenkins was the only boy running last night

who was on

the '39 quartet.

Bloomsburg’s scratch man built up a ten yard lead, but the
West Chester runners took over the front position for the next
two quarters. Then George Spontak, of Pottsville, came through
with a fine kick in the anchor lap to win handily. The other two
of the quartet were Don Jenkins, of Forty Fort and a brother of
Harry, and Ken Hippensteel, of Espy.

The death of William Chrisman, Esq. at his home Saturday
removes from the Columbia County Bar one of its most active
members through many, many years and from the community
a man who gave of his time and his means to the advancement
of the town which was his home through many years.
His death came while he was “still in the harness”, and
those who know him best knew that was as he would have had
it. That urge to be at his desk took him there following a heart
attack early in December
long before he should have ventured
out. But he was always happiest when he was the busiest.

Death came Tuesday, Feb.

Hospital

Mrs. Muriel Stevens Bream, wife of coach Charles C. Bream,

she was taken with septicaemia, a poison in the blood stream, in
virulent form, and her condition became grave. Every means
known to medical science in combating the disease was used and
included three blood transfusions. For the last two days her
condition had been extremely critical and such that little hope
could be held for her recovery.
The critical illness, with its exceptionally sad features, coming after a complete and rapid recovery was indicated, caused
hundreds of friends to follow closely the latest word from the
hospital. Hope that despite the alarming reports there would be
a change of a favorable character were not relinquished, and
word of the death produced a profound shock wherever it became known and with it were voiced expressions of deepest

sympathy.
Herbert Stevens, her father, had been in Bogota, Columbia,
South America, on business for the American Car and Foundry
Company. In a telephone converation. he was informed of his
daughter’s serious illness and planned to arrange passage on the
fist transoceanic plane from Columbia.
Mrs. Bream, formerly Muriel Stevens, was born in Berwick
and was 24 years of age in March. A popular student in her
high school days, she had part in the maid of honor court in
1933, the year of her graduation. She attended Bloomsburg
State Teachers College and was graduated in 1937. She was
active in student activities, served as president of the "B club,
the girls athletic club of the college and was elected
Queen
in the exercises in 1937. She was a member of Trinity Lutheran
Church, one of the most energetic members.
Surviving are her husband, their baby daughter. Lynne
Stevens Bream, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Stevens,
two grandmothers, Mrs. Benson, who resides at the Stevens
home, and Mrs. Stevens of Massachusetts. There are two
brothers, Chesley and Winfield Stevens.

Everybody had

a good time.

County Alumni Clubs were quite active during the year.
Reunions were held by the following groups: SusquehannaWyoming, Dauphin-Cumberland, Luzerne, Montour, Northumberland, Schuylkill, Columbia and Philadelphia. Lackawanna
and Snyder-Union did not hold reunions this year. Sorry.

Miss Edna Aurand, President of the Luzerne County Club
has been bereaved, because of the death of her mother. The
sympathy of the entire Association is extended to Miss Aurand
in her hour of sorrow.

During the Centennial Year we had the largest paid membership in our history. Many have failed to renew their memberships. This is a serious handicap to the entire Alumni Program. We need 2000 members to do a real job. We have less

means constantly checking ourselves so that we shall not settle

Another way in which you are challenged to set up high
standards for your work as a professional person is recognized
when we face the fact that we are going to have to create some
new types of school to meet needs which are beginning to appear. We have been taking for granted that the task of our
high schools IS to prepare students to go on to higher education
in colleges and professional schools and we have fixed a pattern of high school education based upon this expectation. In
turn, our elementary schools have taken much of their character from our desire that they should prepare the child for the
high school, where he will be prepared for some further education beyond it. We are now recognizing that we need schools
in which our concern will be for the best development of all
students, including that large number who will not be proceeding to higher education. The new ideal which we are beginning
to recognize is that at each step of a child’s development he
should be doing that which is most appropriate to the powers
and capacities and interests which are natural to him at that
stage. If he does well what is suitable at that time he is thereby preparing himself best to do well what will be appropriate
later. We must, therefore, cease to think of each grade as primarily preparatory to the next. The experience of each grade in
turn has a value of its own, regardless of what is to follow.
3. I need hardly remind you that one of the important,
professional attitudes is towards the type of reward that the
professional person seeks. I do not wish to minimize the important and legitimate place of those returns for effort which
give us what we call our living and provide a margin for leisure

and an opportunity for some investment to make provision for
the future. The pursuit of a profit does not by any manner of
means always imply that the individual is selfish or greedy. He
is willing to do something which offers no immediate return, but
he is taking risks and investing his time and labor and perhaps
some accumulation of wealth from past effort, and in one way
or another he legitimately hopes to find a return which will
reward him for the venture he is making. But very early in
human history there appeared what we may call “service occupations” and gradually these came to be occupations in which
people engaged with less concern for even ultimate financial
return to themselves than for an opportunity to help other people.

a teacher may legitimately expect? Of course, adequate renumeration so that he is not continually disturbed by anxiety and
fear and, I would add, so that he may occupy a place m the
community life which gives dignity to the great interest he represents. But the professional teacher is more concerned with
the inner rewards of satisfaction, the appreciation which comes
to him from those whom he has served and the knowledge he
has, which sustains him whenever these other rewards seem to
be lacking, that he is participating in the advancement of the
highest interests of his community

At the opening of the program, the processional ushered
in the faculty and the graduates, clad in academic robes. The
former took their places on the stage, accompanied by three
members of the Board of Trustees: Judge C. C. Evans, of Berwick; Grover Shoemaker, of Bloomsburg, and Thomas G. Vincent, of Danville. The triumphal march from “Naaman, ’’ by
Costa, was played by Prof. H. F. Fenstemaker, as the group
marched into the auditorium.
William B Sutiiff, Dean Emeritus, pronounced the invocation, and Acting President Harvey A. Andruss welcomed the
assemblage and introduced the speaker.

The toastmaster presented Dean Harvey A. Andruss, acting
president of the college, as one who was “catapaulted into a
big job” when Dr. Francis B. Haas resigned to become Superintendent of Public Instruction, and who has handled the job “in
a big way.”
Dean Andruss stated that the fine attendance, in spite of
discouraging weather, was a tribute “to the spirit that is Bloomsburg.” He said that the success of the year was in a large measure due to the fact that Dr. Haas had left a well-organized college and a student body capable of assuming increasing responsibility.

In presenting R.

Bruce Albert, president of the Alumni As-

Loan Fund
worthy students had been possible largely
through Mr. Albert’s efforts and inspiration, and asserted that
the Alberts, father and son, have made an outstanding contribution to the advancement of the college. Mr. Albert, in a brief
response, thanked the college for the arrangements which had
made the day such a great success.

The speaker of the evening was Mrs. Annie Miller Melick,
of New York City. Mrs. Miller, a member of the class of 1885,
IS the daughter of the late Charles W. Miller, who was for many
years a trustee of the college. She has had an active career in
many fields of activity. For years she was prominent in club
work in Philadelphia, and during the World War her attention
was directed to many phases of the home program. She has
writien many magazine articles, and at present is reviewing
motion pictures and making recommendations as to their value
to a great number of clubs.
Her reminiscences of days spent at the college, then the
Normal School, were delightful. She recalled that while she was
a pupil m the model school, a part of the college was destroyed
by re. When told of the fire, she was pleased, for in her desk
were her glasses, and, as she stated, “I never wanted to wear
glasses and felt sure that if they were destroyed I would never

At the close of Mrs. Melick’s address, Mr. Elwell continued
the line of thought by stating that he did not wish to be an
alarmist, but that it was the duty of each citizen to guard
against fifth column activities. ‘‘We have them in Columbia

Paced by the fourth consecutive State Championship track
team, the Spring season was one of marked excellence.

Last

year at the state meet held at Shippensburg, the trophy in
competition was retired by the Bloomsburg team because of
three consecutive wins. This season another handsome trophy
was brought to the display case from the state meet at West
Chester, by the best balanced team that Coach Buchheit has

turned out thus

far.

His record for the Spring season included

four dual meet wins, a fine showing in the

the position of head coach

of football.

Mr. Buchheit was football coach at the College four years
after coming to Bloomsburg in 1932, but after the 1935 season
became assistant in that sport and devoted most of his t.mc
to basketball and track. He succeeds A. Austin Tate as head
football coach.

Mr. Buchheit’s return as head coach will give him a fuller
program than that which he assumed in 932, for at that t.me,
track and field athletics occupied minor positions on the athletic
program. Through the years, he has developed these into a
major sport, which has brought much glory to Bloomsburg, the
Bloomsburg athletes having won the state championship four
1

times during the past four years.
In the four years that he coached football the B’.oomsburg
teams had a record of eleven victories, fourteen defeats, and

four ties. His eleven in 1932 won one, lost three, and tied two,
and the team of 1933 won two and lost five. The teams ot
1934 and 1935 were the last Bloomsburg teams to win more
games than were lost, with the record each year being four
victories, three defeats, and one tie.

Starting September
940, and continuing until Major
League baseball closed for the season, “Bloomsburg State Teachers College” was repeated many times on nation-wide hook-ups.
The reason for this sudden publicity was the stellar performance
of Danny Litwhiler, ’38, with the Philadelphia National League
Baseball Club. Joining the club about August 25 in Pittsburgh,
when the Phillies

gartner, writing in the “Inquirer” of the afternoon, says
Litwhiler was the whole show in the first game. He paddled
Gumbert and Lynn for three hits and drove in six runs. One of these
was a home run with three men on base in the eighth inning. His
double in the previous inning the seventh was the big spark in a

—

four-run rally that broke a 2-2 tie and sent the Phillies bounding into
victory. ... He made three hits in the second contest and it was his
tremendous triple off the center field score board with two men on
base and two out in the sixth inning that enabled the Phillies to tie
the score at 5-5 and set the stage for their final exciting victory.
