News From You, About You,For You
ARE YOU EXERCISING ENOUGH ?
Last week permission was granted
to the men students of the college to
use the gymnasium on Saturday
af ternoon without having a faculty
member present. The only rules are
that they must act like gentlemen
and that absolutely no one but men
of the college may play there. This
permission was granted to the men
who are not on either of the basketball squads because there are few
facilities for physical exercise during the winter months other than the
physical education courses which are
given for only two years.
No system of intra-mural athletics has as yet been worked out. If
the men awake to this opportunity
and make the most of it they may go
a long way in developing something
along that line.

Reports to Harrisburg have been delayed by neglect on the part of some

I had been told time and time
again not even to go near Don Peppo 's studio—Don Peppo with his
statues pictures pictures of madonnas and sain ts. How I loved to
watch him ! Don Peppo 's studio was
a one-room affair with three steps
leading to the only door. It was on
these steps on hot summer days that
I would watch him wrap and unwrap
or mend bi'oken statues of every size
conceivable. Nothing could keep me
away from there, and , besides , wasn 't
I always doing something that my
parents disliked? The reason for
my having been told to keep away
from Don Peppo 's studio can be easily explained. This old gentleman
loved to make pinwheels, sky rockets, Moun t Vesuviuses, and all t he
usual colorful Fourth of July oddities. Everyone knew that he kept ex^
plosive powders in his shop for that
purpose. Of course the children loved to buy from him rather than at
the store around the corner.
It was with genuine sorrow that
the children of the neighborhood
learned of the explosion which occurred at the shop. I was too stunned to feel sorry. All- 1 could think
of was my good fortune in not having been a victim of the unfortunate
acciden t. It seemed that I had overslep t on this particular morning, the
only morning that I had failed to appear abou t the studio. Is it any wonder that I began to believe in Providence at the early age of nine?

Gain Coveted Victory Over Eastern Rivals, Avenging Previous
Defeat.
The Bloomsburg State Teachers
College basketball team won over
the East Stroudsburg Teachers College in a handy fashion , decisively
making up for the lone defeat which
was handed to us at the eastern institution a few weeks ago. The college gymnasium was packed to its
limits t o accommoda t e the record
breaking crowd which attended the
important contest on Friday evening.
W hen the final whist le blew, the
score was 64 to 41 in favor of the
Maroon and Gold passers, giving
them their twelfth victory of the current season.
The game opened up with the din
of mighty roaring and cheering of
the capacity crowd. Two teams,
fighting the tell-tale contest which
was to decide the supremacy of one
or the other , struggled for the possession of the ball. In a short time
the score stood at 7 to 2 in favor of
Bloomsburg. Throughout the first
half the battle raged furiously, indicating that both teams were determined to win.
The Booth-men -were in fine condition and they ran up the score to

from all angles of the floor , the "hilltop " quintet absolutely demoralized
the East Stroudsburg aggregation in
the first half. When the half was
over, Bloomsburg held a comfortable lead 30 to 16.
Starting the second halt , Kirker
caged a be aut iful side sho t ; "Nick"
Rudowski , who had replaced Shepela,
followed suit with two goals from behind the foul line.
The count went up to 64 to 35 in
the final period, and a stream of reserves for Bloomsburg entered the
fray. Hayden, brilli an t Stroud sb u rg
forward , caged the most spectacular
shots of the evening and was a big
help in keeping1 the eastern college
"in the run. " The final score was
64 to 41.
The entire Maroon and Gold quintet contributed in the winning of the
much needed and well-earned victory.
"Tarn " Kirker again went on a scoring spree , making 22 points. Yock
played a brilliant game, especially in
the second half , to score 19 points.
Wanbaugh, Shepola , and Golder each
in his best manner showed why
Bloomsburg could win from Stroudsburg.
It would is of interest to note that
the lad who proved to be the poison
in the cup of defeat handed to
Bloomsburg on January 16 at
Stroudsburg, Payne by name, was
held scoreless.

When arrangements were originally made a home arrangement for
the year was considered and the date
for the game in Bloomsburg fixed.
W hen la t er in the season , the two institutions could not find a date agreeable for the game at West Chester,
that institution cancelled the scheduled game.

HOLD VALENTINE PARTY
At 7 :30 Wednesday evening the
Y. M. C. A . and Y. W. C. A. held a
Valentine Party. The members met
in t he "Y" room , Science Hall. Long
rows of chairs were lined up along
t he walls, leaving the center for free
passage. The party proved to be a
tremendous success. A large crowd
attended the social event and all expressed their appreciation to those
who had made the event possible.
Refreshments were served shortly
after the social was under way. The
splendid way in which this was direc t ed w a s due t o the committ ees
head ed by "Dinny " Thomas and Mary
Davis. "Dinny " sure knows his refreshments.
Too abruptly attention was called
to fleeting time and at 9 :30 P. M. the
happy group retired from the scene
of the festivities. These organizations should make the Valentine Party an annual event.

The playing this year cannot be
confined to Friday and must, becau se
of conflic t s, be played Friday afternoons and Saturday afternoons. The
Saturday afternoon idea did not
prove so agreeable to the maj ority of
the players but a minority came out
and showed their real sporting spirit.
Some played positions they never
fried bef ore, others acted as the
clowns to keep up the spirit , and still
others played more than one game so
as to enable all to have a chance to
play. Sonneis and Hubler playing
together were too much for the rest
so they were separated in the second
game and then put to a real test.

EDUCATIONAL TALKI NG
PICTURES WERE ENJOYED
This cut was made by Walter G. Hiney, a student of Miss Gray 's
Freshman Art Appreciation Class.
The presentation of educational
talking pictures in the College auditorium on Monday, February 9, attracted many educators to Bloomsburg where they, along with the students of the State Teachers College
and the public schools of Bloomsburg, enj oyed a well arranged program.
The program started at ten o'clock
during the regular chapel period.
Two pictures were shown. They were
"The Play of Imagination in Geometry," "Fundamentals of Football."
At eleven o 'clock t he "Symphony
Orches t ra Series " attracted many
College students and the training
school children. This picture, many
agreed, was the best part of the program.
Those who were interested in the
mechanical part of talking pictures
were shown how the pictures were
made. At 1:20 two pictures, "Acoustic Principles " and "Finding His
Voice ," explained what makes the
movies talk.
At 2:20 the Bloomsburg Public
School students helped to fill the
auditorium when the picture of "Our
Governmen t at W ork ," was shown.
The last period of the day was
given over to the presentation of
four pictures dealing with teacher
training. They were , "The Testing
of Child Intelligence," "The Study
of Infan t Behavior ," "The Creative
Approach to Education " and "Tests
For Babies."

minutes of play, it looked as though
Keystone was going to win. Rudowski promptly caged a beautiful shot
from t he side , giving added spirit to
the Maroon and Gold. Keystone followed with a field goal under the
basket, evening things up. At this
time Captain Wanbaugh broke
through the Keystone defense to
score a thrilling, much needed field
goal , putting Bloomsburg within one
point of Keystone, 25 to 26. With
abou t two fleeting minutes to play
Rud owski cut fast for the basket and
banked the deciding field goal on a
pass from Kirker, giving the lead to
Bloomsburg, 27-26. Fighting hard
to get "that elusive pill," both teams
were endeavoring to get possession
of the ball ; Bloomsburg successfully
"killed" the ball for the final seconds
of play. Spadt, Keystone center, had
a chance to tie the score with a foul,
but he missed it.
As the game ended , the whole
Bloomsburg contingent on the sidelines rushed on the floor to congratulate the team for upholding the winning streak for Bloomsburg, with
this their thirteenth victory.
Spadt , star center for Keystone,
and a former teammate of Captain
Wanbaugh , played a fine game for
Keystone as well as did Stump, who
scored five goals.
The varsity and junior varsity
teams jo urneyed to Kutztown by bus,
arriving there an hour late due to
the bad weather conditions and returning to Bloomsburg at midnight.
Coach Booth was very oxuborant
about the result of the game and
congratulated the members of tho
team on their fine performance.

News From You, About You,For You
ARE YOU EXERCISING ENOUGH ?
Last week permission was granted
to the men students of the college to
use the gymnasium on Saturday
af ternoon without having a faculty
member present. The only rules are
that they must act like gentlemen
and that absolutely no one but men
of the college may play there. This
permission was granted to the men
who are not on either of the basketball squads because there are few
facilities for physical exercise during the winter months other than the
physical education courses which are
given for only two years.
No system of intra-mural athletics has as yet been worked out. If
the men awake to this opportunity
and make the most of it they may go
a long way in developing something
along that line.

Reports to Harrisburg have been delayed by neglect on the part of some

I had been told time and time
again not even to go near Don Peppo 's studio—Don Peppo with his
statues pictures pictures of madonnas and sain ts. How I loved to
watch him ! Don Peppo 's studio was
a one-room affair with three steps
leading to the only door. It was on
these steps on hot summer days that
I would watch him wrap and unwrap
or mend bi'oken statues of every size
conceivable. Nothing could keep me
away from there, and , besides , wasn 't
I always doing something that my
parents disliked? The reason for
my having been told to keep away
from Don Peppo 's studio can be easily explained. This old gentleman
loved to make pinwheels, sky rockets, Moun t Vesuviuses, and all t he
usual colorful Fourth of July oddities. Everyone knew that he kept ex^
plosive powders in his shop for that
purpose. Of course the children loved to buy from him rather than at
the store around the corner.
It was with genuine sorrow that
the children of the neighborhood
learned of the explosion which occurred at the shop. I was too stunned to feel sorry. All- 1 could think
of was my good fortune in not having been a victim of the unfortunate
acciden t. It seemed that I had overslep t on this particular morning, the
only morning that I had failed to appear abou t the studio. Is it any wonder that I began to believe in Providence at the early age of nine?

Thirteen Teams Organized

Gain Coveted Victory Over Eastern Rivals, Avenging Previous
Defeat.
The Bloomsburg State Teachers
College basketball team won over
the East Stroudsburg Teachers College in a handy fashion , decisively
making up for the lone defeat which
was handed to us at the eastern institution a few weeks ago. The college gymnasium was packed to its
limits t o accommoda t e the record
breaking crowd which attended the
important contest on Friday evening.
W hen the final whist le blew, the
score was 64 to 41 in favor of the
Maroon and Gold passers, giving
them their twelfth victory of the current season.
The game opened up with the din
of mighty roaring and cheering of
the capacity crowd. Two teams,
fighting the tell-tale contest which
was to decide the supremacy of one
or the other , struggled for the possession of the ball. In a short time
the score stood at 7 to 2 in favor of
Bloomsburg. Throughout the first
half the battle raged furiously, indicating that both teams were determined to win.
The Booth-men -were in fine condition and they ran up the score to
next to the highest number of points

it has been this season.
from all angles of the floor , the "hilltop " quintet absolutely demoralized
the East Stroudsburg aggregation in
the first half. When the half was
over, Bloomsburg held a comfortable lead 30 to 16.
Starting the second halt , Kirker
caged a be aut iful side sho t ; "Nick"
Rudowski , who had replaced Shepela,
followed suit with two goals from behind the foul line.
The count went up to 64 to 35 in
the final period, and a stream of reserves for Bloomsburg entered the
fray. Hayden, brilli an t Stroud sb u rg
forward , caged the most spectacular
shots of the evening and was a big
help in keeping1 the eastern college
"in the run. " The final score was
64 to 41.
The entire Maroon and Gold quintet contributed in the winning of the
much needed and well-earned victory.
"Tarn " Kirker again went on a scoring spree , making 22 points. Yock
played a brilliant game, especially in
the second half , to score 19 points.
Wanbaugh, Shepola , and Golder each
in his best manner showed why
Bloomsburg could win from Stroudsburg.
It would is of interest to note that
the lad who proved to be the poison
in the cup of defeat handed to
Bloomsburg on January 16 at
Stroudsburg, Payne by name, was
held scoreless.
East Stroudsburg conquered Mansfield the following night at the upstate school by the score 84 to 26.

West . Chester State Teachers College has cancelled the game with the
Bloomsburg State Teachers College
scheduled for Bloomsburg on Saturday evening, February 21. West
Chester , undefeated , and Bloomsburg
wi t h a lone defea t, are looked upon
us the outstanding claimants for the
State Teachers College title. For
this reason West Chester was looked
upon as the big game of the year.
When arrangements were originally made a home arrangement for
the year was considered and the date
for the game in Bloomsburg fixed.
W hen la t er in the season , the two institutions could not find a date agreeable for the game at West Chester,
that institution cancelled the scheduled game.

tremendous success. A large crowd
attended the social event and all expressed their appreciation to those
who had made the event possible.

tournament is moving along in fine
shape. Take a slant at the line-ups

The playing this year cannot be
confined to Friday and must, becau se
of conflic t s, be played Friday afternoons and Saturday afternoons. The
Saturday afternoon idea did not
prove so agreeable to the maj ority of
the players but a minority came out
and showed their real sporting spirit.
Some played positions they never
fried bef ore, others acted as the
clowns to keep up the spirit , and still
others played more than one game so
as to enable all to have a chance to
play. Sonneis and Hubler playing
together were too much for the rest
so they were separated in the second
game and then put to a real test.

EDUCATIONAL TALKI NG
PICTURES WERE ENJOYED
This cut was made by Walter G. Hiney, a student of Miss Gray 's
Freshman Art Appreciation Class.
The presentation of educational
talking pictures in the College auditorium on Monday, February 9, attracted many educators to Bloomsburg where they, along with the students of the State Teachers College
and the public schools of Bloomsburg, enj oyed a well arranged program.
The program started at ten o'clock
during the regular chapel period.
Two pictures were shown. They were
"The Play of Imagination in Geometry," "Fundamentals of Football."
At eleven o 'clock t he "Symphony
Orches t ra Series " attracted many
College students and the training
school children. This picture, many
agreed, was the best part of the program.
Those who were interested in the
mechanical part of talking pictures
were shown how the pictures were
made. At 1:20 two pictures, "Acoustic Principles " and "Finding His
Voice ," explained what makes the
movies talk.
At 2:20 the Bloomsburg Public
School students helped to fill the
auditorium when the picture of "Our
Governmen t at W ork ," was shown.
The last period of the day was
given over to the presentation of
four pictures dealing with teacher
training. They were , "The Testing
of Child Intelligence," "The Study
of Infan t Behavior ," "The Creative
Approach to Education " and "Tests
For Babies."

WINS FROM KUTZTOWN

minutes of play, it looked as though
Keystone was going to win. Rudowski promptly caged a beautiful shot
from t he side , giving added spirit to
the Maroon and Gold. Keystone followed with a field goal under the
basket, evening things up. At this
time Captain Wanbaugh broke
through the Keystone defense to
score a thrilling, much needed field
goal , putting Bloomsburg within one
point of Keystone, 25 to 26. With
abou t two fleeting minutes to play
Rud owski cut fast for the basket and
banked the deciding field goal on a
pass from Kirker, giving the lead to
Bloomsburg, 27-26. Fighting hard
to get "that elusive pill," both teams
were endeavoring to get possession
of the ball ; Bloomsburg successfully
"killed" the ball for the final seconds
of play. Spadt, Keystone center, had
a chance to tie the score with a foul,
but he missed it.
As the game ended , the whole
Bloomsburg contingent on the sidelines rushed on the floor to congratulate the team for upholding the winning streak for Bloomsburg, with
this their thirteenth victory.
Spadt , star center for Keystone,
and a former teammate of Captain
Wanbaugh , played a fine game for
Keystone as well as did Stump, who
scored five goals.
The varsity and junior varsity
teams jo urneyed to Kutztown by bus,
arriving there an hour late due to
the bad weather conditions and returning to Bloomsburg at midnight.
Coach Booth was very oxuborant
about the result of the game and
congratulated the members of tho
team on their fine performance.
