BOTH TEAMS
CLAIM VICTORY
Hotly Conteste d Battle Fa ils to Reveal Superio rity of Either Team ;
Brown , Thomas , Robb ins, and
Palsgrove Star .
Friday evening a capacity crowd
gathered in the gym and witnessed
the most hotly contested battle of the
year. The fierce tilt was between the
age-old rivals of the College, namely ,
the kitchen crew and the waiters,
better known as the Scummers and
the Hash-slingers.
The crowd cheered as the two armies appeared fully dressed and prepared for the work in hand. The
waiters wore their regular uniform
dress including black ties ; and the
kitcheneers wore their irregular
uniform dress including blue workshirts. Implements of the trade were
much in evidence.
The scoring opened early in the
first period when Palsgrove, dean of
t he Scummers, broke loose for a thirty-yard run and scored a field goal
from second base. The playing continued fast and fierce. The sphere
was tossed into the air and Hunsicker knocked it in t o the bleachers for
a home run. The puck was again
placed in play in Waiter territory.
Lewis caught it as it bounced off Kafka 's leg, and raced toward the goal.
A heroic effort on the part of Thomas
sent it back into the territory of the
opposi tion , and things became hot.
Robbins took a blow on the belt and
retaliated with a right to the j aw,
then both teams went into the same
huddle. Both teams were penalized
ten yards for holding, and the ball
was put in play on the fifty-yard line.
Bender intercepted a pass from Farley and scored another home run for
the Kitchen Men. Rinker led the
field to the tape .
It was about this time that Brown ,
lanky forward for the grub-toters ,
pulled a fade-away, and later appeared clinging to tho backboard. Points
came easily when his colleagues
pitched the deflated sphere to him
from all parts of the floor and he
merely pushed thorn down through .
He later descended amid a barrage of
mops, scrub brushes, dish rags, etc,
from the opposition.

"Choosing a Vocation " Proves
An Interesting and Timely Topic
For High School Students of
Bloomsburg .
Professor Andruss carried a message of vital importance to the student body of Bloomsburg High
School when he spoke at the high
school Tuesday on the subject of
"Choosing a Vocation. " With his
genial humor and p leasing- personality , Professor Andruss won the respectful attention of the entire student body.
He outlined eight methods of
choosing a vocation. Four methods
which are detrimental to the future
interests of the child , and four methods which work for the best interests
of the student.
The four hit-or-miss methods of
choosing a vocation are : 1. Advise
to parents. 2. Hero worship. 3.
Sending the student to college. 4.
Trusting to luck. The four sensible
methods are : 1. Get information
through the school. 2. Advise and
counsel with the parents. 8. Choose
a college to meet the needs of the individual. 4. Persistance.
A part of the text of the address
follows : "A voca t ion is one 's means
of making a living, either by producing goods or performing services. As
a manufacturer you may take leather and turn it into a shot. As a merchant, you may handle that shot and
pass it on to a customer. But as a
minist er , t eacher , doctor or lawyer
you will perf or m cer ta in servic es for
your fellow men. The choice of a vocation begins life 's greatest adventure. It begins the type of work that

Tonig ht , the Boston Male Choir
will appear for the third consecutive
year in the College Auditorium. Each
time they have furnished one of the
most enj oyable progr ams of the year.
We may be sure that tonight will be
no exception.
Last year the members of the choir
appeared in the opera, "Tales of Hoffman. " As a special favor later in the
year , when they were appearing at
Bucknell University, they motored to
Bloomsburg and gave a matinee concert for the benefit of the fund for
furnishing the College Hospital room.
Tonight's program will consist of
two parts. The first will be the opera
"Trial by Jury, " the second , a group
of concert numbers.
The Boston Male Choir, under the
direction of Dameter Zacharoff , numbers among its personnel some of the
finest solo voices in New England.
They are all professionals with enviable records. Their voices blend
into an ensemble that is perfect in
the interpretation of the unusual
songs they present.
Yvonne Des Ro siers , who appears
with the Boston Male Choir , is an
American girl of unusual talent. With
a true soprano voice of wide range,
brilliancy and sweetness, she combines a most charming personality.

In the preliminary game, the JayVees won a hair-raising victory over

Some of the questions put by S.

reveal the effects of the recent war

were :—What did you believe the

experience of tho war did you have
yourself? What was your attitude

Mr. R. II. Hcndrickson of the Reming ton Rand Company gave a demonstration of the electrical typewriter
before the Junior Chamber of Commerce and friends last Thursday.
In a brief talk , Mr. Hendrickson
outlined the history of the developmen t of the typ ewriter to the present
duy. Using old machines as models,
he pointed out the gradual improvements made from time to time on
Reming ton typewriters.
He then connected the electrical
typ ewriter, and af ter giving a few
pointers on how to use it, he asked
for volunteers to try it out. "Frosh"

enough to take advantage of the offer , and , as a resul t, she was the first
to try ou t the machine. After the
others were convinced that the machine was shock-proof , they all wanted to try using it.
To conclude the program , Mr. Hendrickson brought out a few portable
machines a2id let the students try
them out.

STUDENT COUNCIL ACTIVE
At the Studen t Council meeting,
Monday evening, March 2, several
things of interest to all students were
taken up.
A committee was appointed to see
whether it will be possible to have a
j umbo score board for the football
field. The school and visitors appreciate the score board for basketball. A similar one for football
would certainly not come amiss.
The Council took up the question
of delivering special deliveries and
telegrams to the boys at North Hall
after post oilice hours. A tentative
plan of having the person in the Dean
of' Women 's office phone to North
Hall , notifying the man to come for
the message was devised.

The subjec ts of cheer leaders,

nothing definite was decided.
