Days." Coach Booth Complimented Student Body.

Haven.
Conqu ering heroes are usually feted with the pleasan tries of praise and
hero worship, for it is only the fighters who hav e a right to the j oys of
the victor. With this philosophy in
mind the college fittingly honored her
basketball warriors in a specially arranged chapel program last Friday
morning, and figuratively wrote finale
to a most colorful basketball season.
The unique program found its
origin in the cerebrum of the Student
Council , and Tom Henry , president of
this governmental body , became the
chief prompter for the scene enacted
in Chapel Assembly. His first action
was to call the pi'incipal actors to the
stage. Amid the supplications of the
call boy and the thundering applause
of the audience, the 1931 basketball
players ascended to the stage. In order of appearance they were : Captain Wanbaugh , Kirker, Golder , Rudowski , Shepela , Wilson , Yare tski ,
Carr , W ashelski , Perch , Kit chen , F.
Jaffin , Kanjo rski , R uckle , Warman ,
Van Dine.
The second call brought forth Dean
Su t liff , Dean K och , Coa ch Boo t h ,
Manager Liptzer , Assistant Coach
Z imol z ak , and "Dinny " Thomas,
cheer leader.
Dean Sutliff started the testimonial proceedings with an account of
basketball as it was played in his college days. He recalled that the first
basketball rules called for nine players on each team and that the court
was then divided into three parts as
in the case of girls' rules today . He
boasted that he had never seen the
1931 champions defeated.
Coach Booth caught the spirit of
the day and complimented the student body for its loyalty. He was
followed by Zimolzak who informed
all present that the 1931 champions
had taken graciously the advice given
them behind the scenes.
Dean Koch said that his service to
the team had been over estimated ,
but he grew talkative and ended his
sentiment with a prophecy that future teams would have a high standard to live up to.
Captain Wanbaugh was dragged
from his back seat and asked to introduce his fellow comi'ades in victory. Brief sentiments by the varsity
players brought ringing cheers from
the audience. Captain Wanbaugh

The eagerly awaited list of prize
winners among the 800 school publications submitted in the annual contest of the Columbia Scholastic Press
Association was made available for
publication March 21 by the special
j ury of award .. Publications from
schools in every part of the United
States were entered in the contest.
In the teacher college and normal
school division of the contest, over a
hundred papers were submitted from
colleges from all over the United
States. Not one of the six teachers
college papers receiving first place
were from Pennsylvania. But they
covered United States territory from
Pasadena , California to Mont, Clair ,
New Jersey. The Norm of the Philadelphia Normal School won first place
among normal school magazines. No
Pennsylvania teachers college paper
was among the five papers ranking
second place. The Campus Reflec tor,
publication of the State Teachers College at Shippensburg, was in t he
small group of papers ranking third
place.
The MAROON AND GOLD of the
State Teachers College at Bloomsburg and the College Times of the
State Teachers College at Lock
Haven were in the equally small
group of papers ranked in fourth
pl ace.
Louis Whiley, business manager of
t h e N ew Y ork Times , told a general
session of the conven tion t o bew are
of sensationalism as part of journal istic practice. He criticized as vicious "the insincerity, cheapness and
sordidness of the sensational press. "
Dr. Albert Einstein , in Mr. Whiley 's o pi n ion , would make an excellent
editor. After describing the ideal
newspaper man to the young men and
women as "alert, keen , intelligent ,
enterprising, and human ," the speak er asserted that the famous German
scientist lived up to this description.
This is the first time that the MAROON AND GOLD has received any
placing in a national press contest.
The paper was not entered in competition in the Pennsylvania School
Press Association Contest held at
Williamsport a few months ago. The
modest success of the paper this year
in the world of college journalism
should act as a real incentive foi* the
MAROON AND GOLD stall* of next
year.

The members of a ninth grade class
in American History are more than
usually conscientious. Only rarely
docs a pupil fail to hand in work assigned. The average amoun t of home
work for each pupil is five hours. This
class was recently given a test upon
ma terial studied during" the precedingmonth. Less than half of the papers
showed any satisfactory grasp of the
material. Specific facts were produced on demand , but the class as a
whole had evidently found little
meaning in the daily assignments and
had not combined them into an organized whole. Is the condition due
to faulty study habi ts? What remedy would you suggest?

THE DRAMATIC CLUB
PRESENTS PLAY IN CHAPEL
The Dramatic Club entertained the
College Assembly on Wednesday,
March 18, with George Adc 's oneact play, "Speaking to Father." The
play was humorous, and was presented with ability and spontaneity.
The story was spun around the
fact that youth will have its own way
regardless of its app arent stupidity
and inexperience. The heroine , Caroli n e, played by Laura Shultz, visits
he i1 father , Septimus Pickering—
Maynard Pennington—a t his office.
She prepares him for her fiance's visit
which is to be for the purpose of announcing - their engagement. Mr.
Pickering does not seem to be favorably impressed with Edward Worthington Slinger's—Jack Eble's—photograph. However he presents Caroline with a stock certificate for her
twenty-first birthday. Before "Jiggsey," Edward , comes in Mr. Pickering informs Caroline that her mother
i s bringing home Professor Bliss,
whom she expects Caroline to marry.
The appearance of "Jiggsey " reacts less favorablly upon Mr. Pickering than his photograph, but Professor Bliss—Tom Coursen—with his
policy of "Don 't worry" proves altogether too effeminate. Mrs. Pickering—Dorothy Faust—is enraptured
with the professor and expects everyone else to be.
Pickering j udges
"Jiggsy " sincere, at least, and so puts
him on probation by giving him a
sum of money to invest for three
months. If the investment turns out
well, he is to marry Caroline. "Jiggsy " buys Caroline 's stock in The
Pickering Corporation and inside of
two minutes has invested his money
wisely, thereby winning Caroline. The

SOPHOMORE TEAM WINS
CLASS CHAMPIONSH IP
On Monday afternoon , in the playoff for championship of the class
teams of the College, the Sophomore
team staged a great comeback after
the first quarter to win the honors by
a scoz-e of 26 to 18.
The Juniors got off to a good start
in the first quarter by gathering 8
points while the Sophomores were
held to a single foul shot.
In the second quarter the Sophomores rearranged their team into a
combination that proved to be a
smooth working machine. The scoring attack was led by Cullen, lanky
Berwick center , and Williams, an
EdwardsVille recruit , at forward,
each making eight points. Marcin ,
the big Junior center, also had eight
points.
The brilliant passing of Krauss and
Fowler was an important factor in
the success of the Sophomore machine. Time after time Krauss would
take the ball to the center of the floor
and then pass to a man who would
be in a position to score.
The Juniors seemed to lack ma-terial and the passing ability so necessary to a winning team.
Coach Booth was on hand and in all
probability saw some material for his
next varsity team.
By winning this game the Sophomores have established their claim of
having the best class team in the College.

DINING ROOM PARTY
WAS SUCCESSFUL
St. Patrick's Day Event Held in Dining Room Celebrated Victories
of Basketball Team.
Another of a series of dining 1 room
parties was held in the College Dining Room , Thursday , March 19. The
party was a two-fold* event. It celebra ted St. Patrick's Day and also the
victories of the varsity basketball
team.
The dining room was a happy place
from 5:30 until 6:45. The Maroon
and Gold Orchestra , under the direction of Sam Kurtz , furnished the
music. The Bloomsburg Trio sang a
group of popular numbers. These
were well received. "Hank" Warman
next entertained with "A Little Gray
Home in the West. "
Mr. Reams was on hand , and led
the group in singing. Mr. Koch gave
a few encouraging and congratulatory remarks to the basketball team ,
and then introduced the toastmaster,
Aldwin Jones.
Among those who gave brief but
interesting talks were Coach Booth ,
Mr. Zimolzak and "Capt. " Wanbaugh.
The dining room was conspicuously
decorated in green. The waiters and
waitresses were up-to-date with their
green high hats and headpieces.
The studen ts then 2>roceeded to the
gym where they all enj oyed dancing
to the music of the Maroon and Gold
Orchestra.
The College is very grateful to the
Dining Room Committee for these excellent entertainments in the dining
room.

Each year an all-tournament team

tournament.
This year the members of the College Varsity team selected the following at the close of the BloomsburgLuzerne tilt :
DINNER IN THE WDDDS
"L"
The crackling fire , which sent out
tiny sparks like explorers into the
surrounding 1 darkness, was located at
the head of a wooded glen. On three
sides were steep slopes covered with
trees and brush, which took on many
fantastic shapes as the firelight played upon them. Just below , perhaps
fifteen fee t away in the outer darkness , could be heard the low rippling
of water as it came from a mountain
spring and pounded off down through
the ravine, which it had created.
The activi ties at the lire commanded attention. There were three boys,
each with a piece of beefsteak on the
end of a "spit" which he kept turnin g
continually so that the lelicious j uices might be retained in^ the meat to
make it more savory. Each boy seemed intensely interested in his work as
he turned his ''spit" and kept one eye
on a large potato and an ear of corn

the hot coals of the fire. The meal
was almost cooked—the odor which
issued from the suspended coffee kettle was enough to make anyone hungry. The boys fairly twirled their

Conqu ering heroes are usually feted with the pleasan tries of praise and
hero worship, for it is only the fighters who hav e a right to the j oys of
the victor. With this philosophy in
mind the college fittingly honored her
basketball warriors in a specially arranged chapel program last Friday
morning, and figuratively wrote finale
to a most colorful basketball season.
The unique program found its
origin in the cerebrum of the Student
Council , and Tom Henry , president of
this governmental body , became the
chief prompter for the scene enacted
in Chapel Assembly. His first action
was to call the pi'incipal actors to the
stage. Amid the supplications of the
call boy and the thundering applause
of the audience, the 1931 basketball
players ascended to the stage. In order of appearance they were : Captain Wanbaugh , Kirker, Golder , Rudowski , Shepela , Wilson , Yare tski ,
Carr , W ashelski , Perch , Kit chen , F.
Jaffin , Kanjo rski , R uckle , Warman ,
Van Dine.
The second call brought forth Dean
Su t liff , Dean K och , Coa ch Boo t h ,
Manager Liptzer , Assistant Coach
Z imol z ak , and "Dinny " Thomas,
cheer leader.
Dean Sutliff started the testimonial proceedings with an account of
basketball as it was played in his college days. He recalled that the first
basketball rules called for nine players on each team and that the court
was then divided into three parts as
in the case of girls' rules today . He
boasted that he had never seen the
1931 champions defeated.
Coach Booth caught the spirit of
the day and complimented the student body for its loyalty. He was
followed by Zimolzak who informed
all present that the 1931 champions
had taken graciously the advice given
them behind the scenes.
Dean Koch said that his service to
the team had been over estimated ,
but he grew talkative and ended his
sentiment with a prophecy that future teams would have a high standard to live up to.
Captain Wanbaugh was dragged
from his back seat and asked to introduce his fellow comi'ades in victory. Brief sentiments by the varsity
players brought ringing cheers from
the audience. Captain Wanbaugh

The eagerly awaited list of prize
winners among the 800 school publications submitted in the annual contest of the Columbia Scholastic Press
Association was made available for
publication March 21 by the special
j ury of award .. Publications from
schools in every part of the United
States were entered in the contest.
In the teacher college and normal

hundred papers were submitted from
colleges from all over the United
States. Not one of the six teachers
college papers receiving first place
were from Pennsylvania. But they
covered United States territory from

was among the five papers ranking
second place. The Campus Reflec tor,
publication of the State Teachers College at Shippensburg, was in t he
small group of papers ranking third
place.
The MAROON AND GOLD of the
State Teachers College at Bloomsburg and the College Times of the
State Teachers College at Lock
Haven were in the equally small
group of papers ranked in fourth
pl ace.
Louis Whiley, business manager of
t h e N ew Y ork Times , told a general
session of the conven tion t o bew are
of sensationalism as part of journal istic practice. He criticized as vicious "the insincerity, cheapness and
sordidness of the sensational press. "
Dr. Albert Einstein , in Mr. Whiley 's o pi n ion , would make an excellent
editor. After describing the ideal
newspaper man to the young men and
women as "alert, keen , intelligent ,
enterprising, and human ," the speak er asserted that the famous German
scientist lived up to this description.
This is the first time that the MAROON AND GOLD has received any
placing in a national press contest.
The paper was not entered in competition in the Pennsylvania School
Press Association Contest held at
Williamsport a few months ago. The
modest success of the paper this year

The members of a ninth grade class
in American History are more than
usually conscientious. Only rarely
docs a pupil fail to hand in work assigned. The average amoun t of home
work for each pupil is five hours. This
class was recently given a test upon
ma terial studied during" the precedingmonth. Less than half of the papers
showed any satisfactory grasp of the
material. Specific facts were produced on demand , but the class as a
whole had evidently found little
meaning in the daily assignments and
had not combined them into an organized whole. Is the condition due
to faulty study habi ts? What remedy would you suggest?

THE DRAMATIC CLUB
PRESENTS PLAY IN CHAPEL
The Dramatic Club entertained the
College Assembly on Wednesday,
March 18, with George Adc 's oneact play, "Speaking to Father." The
play was humorous, and was presented with ability and spontaneity.
The story was spun around the
fact that youth will have its own way
regardless of its app arent stupidity
and inexperience. The heroine , Caroli n e, played by Laura Shultz, visits
he i1 father , Septimus Pickering—
Maynard Pennington—a t his office.
She prepares him for her fiance's visit
which is to be for the purpose of announcing - their engagement. Mr.
Pickering does not seem to be favorably impressed with Edward Worthington Slinger's—Jack Eble's—photograph. However he presents Caroline with a stock certificate for her
twenty-first birthday. Before "Jiggsey," Edward , comes in Mr. Pickering informs Caroline that her mother

whom she expects Caroline to marry.
The appearance of "Jiggsey " reacts less favorablly upon Mr. Pickering than his photograph, but Professor Bliss—Tom Coursen—with his
policy of "Don 't worry" proves altogether too effeminate. Mrs. Pickering—Dorothy Faust—is enraptured
with the professor and expects everyone else to be.
Pickering j udges
"Jiggsy " sincere, at least, and so puts
him on probation by giving him a
sum of money to invest for three
months. If the investment turns out
well, he is to marry Caroline. "Jiggsy " buys Caroline 's stock in The

two minutes has invested his money
wisely, thereby winning Caroline. The

SOPHOMORE TEAM WINS
CLASS CHAMPIONSH IP
On Monday afternoon , in the playoff for championship of the class
teams of the College, the Sophomore
team staged a great comeback after
the first quarter to win the honors by
a scoz-e of 26 to 18.
The Juniors got off to a good start
in the first quarter by gathering 8
points while the Sophomores were
held to a single foul shot.
In the second quarter the Sophomores rearranged their team into a
combination that proved to be a
smooth working machine. The scoring attack was led by Cullen, lanky
Berwick center , and Williams, an
EdwardsVille recruit , at forward,
each making eight points. Marcin ,
the big Junior center, also had eight
points.
The brilliant passing of Krauss and
Fowler was an important factor in
the success of the Sophomore machine. Time after time Krauss would
take the ball to the center of the floor
and then pass to a man who would
be in a position to score.
The Juniors seemed to lack ma-terial and the passing ability so necessary to a winning team.
Coach Booth was on hand and in all
probability saw some material for his
next varsity team.
By winning this game the Sophomores have established their claim of
having the best class team in the College.

DINING ROOM PARTY
WAS SUCCESSFUL
St. Patrick's Day Event Held in Dining Room Celebrated Victories
of Basketball Team.
Another of a series of dining 1 room
parties was held in the College Dining Room , Thursday , March 19. The
party was a two-fold* event. It celebra ted St. Patrick's Day and also the
victories of the varsity basketball
team.
The dining room was a happy place
from 5:30 until 6:45. The Maroon
and Gold Orchestra , under the direction of Sam Kurtz , furnished the
music. The Bloomsburg Trio sang a
group of popular numbers. These
were well received. "Hank" Warman
next entertained with "A Little Gray
Home in the West. "
Mr. Reams was on hand , and led
the group in singing. Mr. Koch gave
a few encouraging and congratulatory remarks to the basketball team ,
and then introduced the toastmaster,
Aldwin Jones.
Among those who gave brief but
interesting talks were Coach Booth ,
Mr. Zimolzak and "Capt. " Wanbaugh.
The dining room was conspicuously
decorated in green. The waiters and
waitresses were up-to-date with their
green high hats and headpieces.
The studen ts then 2>roceeded to the
gym where they all enj oyed dancing
to the music of the Maroon and Gold
Orchestra.
The College is very grateful to the
Dining Room Committee for these excellent entertainments in the dining
room.

ALL TOURNAMENT TEAM
SELECTIONS ARE MADE
Each year an all-tournament team
is selected from the various high
schools competing in the annual
tournament.
This year the members of the College Varsity team selected the following at the close of the BloomsburgLuzerne tilt :
DINNER IN THE WDDDS
"L"
The crackling fire , which sent out
tiny sparks like explorers into the
surrounding 1 darkness, was located at
the head of a wooded glen. On three
sides were steep slopes covered with
trees and brush, which took on many
fantastic shapes as the firelight played upon them. Just below , perhaps
fifteen fee t away in the outer darkness , could be heard the low rippling
of water as it came from a mountain
spring and pounded off down through
the ravine, which it had created.
The activi ties at the lire commanded attention. There were three boys,
each with a piece of beefsteak on the
end of a "spit" which he kept turnin g
continually so that the lelicious j uices might be retained in^ the meat to
make it more savory. Each boy seemed intensely interested in his work as
he turned his ''spit" and kept one eye
on a large potato and an ear of corn

the hot coals of the fire. The meal
was almost cooked—the odor which
issued from the suspended coffee kettle was enough to make anyone hungry. The boys fairly twirled their
"spits " iis their rich slabs of steak be-
