Bloomsbur g Stages Annual College
Evening f or Kiwanis-Rotary Clubs
Four Hundred Guests Attend
Banquet; Music Furnished
by Russ Fairchilds
Thursday, Mar ch 14t h , the college
community were hosts to the Rotarians and Kiwanians of this vicinity. Between four and five hundred
guests attended the banquet in the
college dining room. This year a new
procedure was followed; no long
speeches were given at the banquet,
and the program in the auditorium
was limited to one hour. Following
the program in the auditorium a
dance was held in the gymnasium
with music furnished by Russ Fairchild and his orchestra.
Music was furnished in the auditorium by the Maroon and Gold orchestra, directed by Prof. Howard
Fenstemaeher.
Norman Maza, president of the
Community Cfoygrnrnent Association,
welcomed the Rotarians and Kiwanians. He expressed the appreciation
of the college for the fine cooperative
spirit shown by the townspeople
throughout the year and hoped that
they would enjoy the program to follow.
The players of the Alpha Psi Omega dramatic fraternity presented a
laugh—and thought—provoking play
ent i tled , "The Wonder Hat." This
presentation was enthusiastically received by the audience. The cast
included: Stuart Edwards as Harlequin; Spencer Roberts as Punchinello;
Isaac Jones as Pierrot; Florence Stefa nsky as Columbine, and Jane Dyke
as Margot. Due to illness, Jack Shortess was unable to participate in the
play as Harlequin; Mr. Edwards relieved Mr. Shortess and turned in an
out-standing performance despite
having only two days rehearsal.
Immediately after the play, the
room was darkened and a color film ,
photographed and directed by Prof.
George J. Keller, was flashed on the
screen by Prof. Shortess. This film ,
entitled "Living at Bloomsburg," depicted a day in the life of students at
Bloomsburg. Starting with the rising
bell and continuing through the day.
Also including various social activities, the movie was both entertaining
and instructive. Some very excellent
shots as to angle and lighting added
to the beauty of the film. Prof. Keller augmented the film and added to
the enojyment of the audience by
various comments about particularly
interesting shots.

The willingness with which some
of the students of B. S. T. C attend
chapel programs that have been set
aside for the discussion of student
problems and community government compares favorably with that
evidenced by someone going to the
dentist. Somehow they overlook the
fact that they are being given the
chance to gain the experience of
self government. Somehow they fail
to see that these meetings are held
for their benefit. Community government cannot live with this tpye
of cooperation.
It is both a sign of intelligence and
education to be interested in the affairs of government. The failure to
i-ecognize the importasce of such
functions is a reflection on one's education. After all we are supposed
to have had some background and
training, but such indifference as
has been shown toward the last few
meetings shows that it has not been
absorbed. One would expect to find
a feeling of responsibility in a college community such as ours—

"Verdun " by Jules Remains is a
historical war picture in fiction form ,
which is the most absorbing type of
literature. The minute feelings of
the soldier, the general, and the
whole French nation are unforgettably etched on the reader 's mind.
One sees unfolded before him authentic military plans, once guarded
so zealously, now open to the world.
The daily account of a soldier's life
in the trenches is given;*though repulsive, it is nevertheless tfue—the
lice and rats, the nauseous food, the
filth which makes a human being
give off the odor of an animal; and
the withering black hand, protruding
above the scarred earth, used gruesomely as a hatrack. The dominating theme is War, and the characters taking part are given a sort of
desultory manifestation because they
are, none the less, essential ingredients. Soldier Jerphanion, parted from
his wife by the conflct , consoles himself by writing her love letters; General Duroure sees the War offering
him a chance to rise higher in the official military ranks; and Haverkamp , the profiteer , sees his opportunity for profits through the sale of
boots and munitions.
Everyone hoped, even expected,
the War to last only one year, but it
moved on much longer. And with
this prolongment, confusion engulfed
all. It gained momentum slowly,
surely , propelled at first by man's
own machinations, then getting away
from his control until he also is
hurled about by the massive whirl
of activity he has himself created,
A gigantic Frankenstein.
The novel's second part is centered
about a large fragment of the World
War—the siege of Verdun. Soldiers
standing on a hill on the outskirts of
the city see it in flames. The spectacle, though disheartening, is somehow glorious to behold. The philosophic and realistic exposition of the
strife, focussed chiefly about one battle, remind one of Tolstoy 's masterpiece "War and Peace."
George Meredith, English novelist,
created fiction about Dukes, Duchesses and aristocracy to forget the fact
that he was himself the son of a common tailor.
Robert Louis Stevenson got the
idea for his story "Dr Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde" from Edgar Allan Poe's story
of a double personality, "William
Wilson." Stevenson also wrote
"Treasure Island" af ter Poe's "The
Gold Bug."
When Poe was on his deathbed in
a Washington Hospital, his pain was
so acute at times that he pleaded
with his doctor to be killed outright.
Anthony Trollope wrote more
books than any other English author.
He averaged three and four novels a
year for twenty years.
Victor Hugo was the most eminent
literary figure in France for fifty
years.
"Old Rare," Ben Jonson, the English playwright and contemporary of
Shakespeare, in his early manhood
was a soldier with the British army
against the French in Flanders.
While both armies looked on, Jonson
fought a duel with the champion of
the French army and killed him.
Rupert Brooks, the soldier-poet ,
who died aged 28 while sailing
through the Dardanelles in 1015, and
who is buried in Skyros, Greece, was
considered the handsomest Englishman of his time

Letter to Editor
To the Editor of the Maroon and
Gold:

No doubt you have noticed the
empty seats in the auditorium except when soityc artist or particularly noted organization is scheduled
for the chapel program. It seems that
it is almost always the same group
of cases it is the group that doesn 't
that is absent , and in the majority
attend that criticizes and complains .
There seem to be about three distinct types of "Chapel-goers ." First
there is tire type that goes almost every time, and cuts only when he has
some impor tant engagement. This
type really gets soino pleasure in going to chapel and is seldom heard
complaining. Then there is the type
that goes only when some highly
touted performer is to appeal- on the
program. This type usually enjoys the
prog rams that he attends and may
some time take part on the program
ii! he is approached. Ho wever , he
doesn 't seem to be attracted by all
the progra ms, and he is often heard
grumbling about the selection of programs tha t are ofTercd. The third is
the type that never goes and has
trouble telling a stranger where he
can find a seat. He hasn 't been to
chapel enough times to be able to
find his own seat. This type scorns
to get a kick out of ridin g the chapel
committee , and he misses all the 'entertainment that be derived from attending those programs. Maybe we
ought to take inventory and find out
where wo stand.
Sincerely yours,
M. R.

The Indian 's defense got so discouraged watching Big Bill drop
them in that they finally tried knocking him down to keep him from
scoring, but soon found that the
Husky center can shoot from just
about anywhere in any position.
Remember Him?
This is a little out of season but
it certainly was too bad that our
student body couldn't have been
present at the second annual Community Athletic Dinner, held recently in honor of the Bloomsburg
High School football and basketball
teams. '
There might have been a few people who would have appreciated the
grand ovation given our Husky football captain. The football captain
at B. S. T. C. had to go to the High
School athletic banquet to receive
any recognition for his dramatic
gridiron career. No mention of him
was even made in chapel when the
squad elected their honorary leader.
Wormy AcKnowieagcment
The Huskies were victims of a
great last period rally when they
won at Montclair 58-51, but the rally
was produced through the medium
of rough tactics on the part of the
home team, which was completely
overlooked by the officials.
Several days later Coach Buchheit received a letter from Albert M.
Nagy, Montclair alumnus in Bloomfield , New Jersey, congratulating the
team on the fine sportsmanship it
showed that night.
The Bloomfield man writes:
"It is outstandingly commendable
to both coach and team to compliment most highly the spirit of the
team in accepting adverse condit ion s which , justifiably, I believe,
could have been criticized. . .
. . . "Surely the Bloomsburg team
demonstrated the fine qualities of
American athletics with its thorough
knowledge of fundamentals and team
play, not to mention the sportsmanlike and gentlemanly attitude of every individual. Undoubtedly your
school must be proud of its team."

Rally to Win 58-51; Herr
Leads With 22 Points

Bloomsburg opened athletic relationships with Montclair Teachers (N,
J.) with a 58-51 victory, on the first
leg of the Huskies' final weeK-end
trip.
The Huskies played on even terms
with the home team during the opening period but stepped out to take a
commanding 33-18 lead at the half.
The two teams each came back with
11 markers in the third quarter and
then trailing 44-29, Montclair staged
a brilliant 22 point rally in the final
stanza to become a threat late in the
game.
The Montclair team boasts a fine
record with only several defeats
while competing against the choice of
the metropolitan colleges in New
York City.
The Huskies outclassed the Jersey
teachers and in reality the game was
not as close as the score might indicate. Hopelessly behind in the last
period the home club resorted to
rather rough tactics and retaliated
successfully with the help of some
loose officia ting. The concluding five
minutes looked more like a football
game.
"Slim" Herr sparked the Huskies
in their 21 point second period rally
when he netted 5 field goals and 2
fouls.
Bill Kerchusky, held to 3 points the
firs t half , cut the cords 6 times following intermission to keep the Husky offense in motion.
Herr registered a total of 22 points
and Kerchusky netted 15. Eddie
Walinch u s, the third member of the
high-scoring Husky trio, garn ered 10
markers.

HARRY JENKINS WINS
IN SCRANTON MEET
Harry Jenkins, Husky sprinter,
added more laurels to the track
t eam 's indoor campaign when he won
the quarter mile and placed third in
the mile at the Olympic Prospect
Meet at Scra nt on , March 1st.
Ed Mulhern , dash man on last
yea r 's championship team, won the
sixty yard dash and placed second
in the two-twenty yard dash. Mulhern is now coaching at the Forty
Fort High School.
Jenkins ran the quarter mile in
fif ty-six seconds, relatively good time
for the slow Watress Armory track;
Mulhern covered the sixty yard dash
in six and four-tenth seconds
Harry ran the mile for the first
time and placed third in a large field.
Fanfreidy from Old Forge won the
mile in four minutes and fifty-seven
seconds.

HUSKIES LOSE
TO STROUD FIVE
Tired and cut-up from the Montclair tussle, the Huskies failed to
maintain the pace set during the second half by a fast-breaking Stroudsburg five and succumbed to the Big
Red, 58-43.
The Huskies were unimpressive in
dropping their fourth game of the
season and couldn't get their offense
clicking on the small Stroudsburg
floor.
Walt Olenick was chiefly responsible for the Big Red victory . He
netted eight points the first half and
came back with a sensational 19point rally after intermission.
The Huskies 21-20 lead at the half
was quickly wiped out with the sharp
shooting of Olenick and Joey Sager
in the third period. The Buchheit
forces ployed their slowest game of
tho season and couldn't stay with the
fast-moving Stroud team.
Olonick carried off the scoring honors of the evening with 27 markers,
"Slim" Herr racked up his usual 18
and Joe Sager, diminu tive forward
from Hazloton , contributed 11 points

Former Husky Star Looks Good to
Philadelphia Sports Writer; One
of Best Rookies in Camp
•»
At the end of the third week of
Spring training, Danny Litwhiler,
former Huijky outfielder, has lived up
to all advance notices and shows
promise of winning a regular birth
with the Philadelphia Phillies.
Cy Peterman, spor ts columnist of
the Philadelphia Inquirer, recently
summed up Dan 's chances as follows:
"First of the promising rookies is
this husky Dan Litwhiler, the coal
country 's contribution.
"Dan , barring accidents, will be on
view in right field when the season
opens—or the Messrs. Prothro, Nugent and Ogden will be sorely disappointed . . . This lad from near Shenandoah runs like an antelope and
promises to make the line-up from
the start. Weighing 198 pounds, he
has a pair of shoulders like the broad
side of a breaker shed and wings the
ball without effort.
"Up-state readers should keep an
eye on his lines in the box score—of
all the new Phils, we like him the
best."
This is good news to Danny 's large
Bloomsburg following who hope for
his continued success in the big
leagues.

A powerful Husky basketball team
concluded the seasan at Indiana in a
blaze of glory as they completely outclassed the Indians, 71-34.
Playing the game which was originally scheduled for February 16, but
postponed because of bad traveling
conditions, the Huskies got off to an
early 12-0 lead and continued to pull
away. Acting-captain Bill Kerchusky gave a sensational exhibition of
passing and shooting as he set a new
scoring record of 31 points.
Af ter building up a substantial 184 lead in the opening period, the Huskies were outscored by an Indian
rally just before the half * and had
their lead cut to 28-18.
In the opening minutes of the second half Bloomsburg started gaining
momentum and cut loose with a dazzling passing attack which bewildered
the home team. They scored 18
poin ts while holding Indiana to three
field goals and boasted a 46-24 lead
going into the final period.
The Huskies got better as the game
progressed and amassed a total of 25
markers in the last quaftef.
Bloomsburg's "Dead-Shot Trio"—
Kerchusky, Herr and Walinchus—together almost doubled their opponen t s' score by accounting for 60 of the
Huskies 71 points. It was a fine finish of a very successful campaign,
and served further notice that
Bloomsburg will be a team to be
reckoned with in the future as each
member of the squad returns next
year.
