College Birdmen Nearing Close
Of Flight Training Program
Almost Complete with CrossCountry; Ready for Test
B.S.T.C.'s birdmen are rapidly
nearing the close of their initial flight
training program at the local airport.
Thus far our pilots are continuing
the fine record made by our first
group of ten students during the first
semestre and , as a whole, have pleased Mr , Sam Bigony operator of the
local airport and his two instructors ,
Carl Wilkinson and Neal Metzong.
They consider B.S.T .C.'s C.A.A. pilots
as being both efficient and capable
and certainly trying to get the most
out of their fine opportunity .
Cross Country
Our birdmen are now completing
one of the thrilling stages of their
flight program—cross-country solo. A
student must be able , with the aid of
the required navigation course in
gi'ound school pilot and fly a compass
course from Bloomsburg to Sunbury,
Sunbury, to Williamsport , and Williamsport to Bloomsburg, alone. At
each of these airports he must land
and have an airport instructor sign
his log book to verify the students
arrival at that particular airport.
Each student has three hours In
which to make his cross-country
flight. The trip, however, usually is
made in two hours. The student flys
short cross-country trips to nearby
towns during the remaining hours.
Perfection Expected
The C.A.A. training course is terminated at the end of thirty-five flying
hours by a very rigid final flight
check given to each student by Mr.
Sam Bigony who is authorized by the
State Aeronnutics Authority, to do
so. During this test nearly flawless
execution of all maneuvers taught to
each student during the course, is
expected of him , Each pilot must pass
both the final flight check and a difficult State Final ground school examination before he may receive his
privates pilots license.

STUDENTS TRADE
FOR AIR CORPS

Sixteen Out of Twenty-Seven
To Enlist in Air Corps
Bloomsburg State Teachers College
will be well represented in the United States Army and Navy Air Corps.
The average of C.A.A. students
enteri ng the air corps has been about
one to ten. Bloomsburg College probably outranks any school in the country in the high percentage of volunteers it is turning over to the armed
forces. Of the twenty-seven men taking C.A.A. work at the Bloomsburg
Airport , sixteen have entered the
corps, passed the examinations or
plan to apply in the immediate future.
Equally Divided
The young men are about equally
divided in their selection of service.
Eight want to go in the Navy. Including two now in service, there will
be nine in the Army Air Corps, Four
of the five who have passed their
examinations and will leave in June
have all entered the army air services.
Those entering the Army Air Corps
at Harrisburg, June 7, are: William
Hagenbuch, Dav id Nelso n , John Maksimuik and Frederick Presslor , Jr.
Victor R. Turin! has taken the preliminary test for the naval air corps
and is to report June 1 at Philadelphia.
Those who plan to make applications for army service at the close of
college or shortly thereafter are :
Walter Reed, Daniel Bonhnm, and
Thurwald Gommer.
Those planning to enter Navy Air
services are : Thoman Grow, William
Kerchusky, Theodore Radal , Gerald

The year is fast coming to a close
and the air is filled with activities.
Among these activities one of the
most important is Alumni Day. This
year there is a great deal in store for
this event. A General Alumni meeting
will open the day, May 24. Following
thsi will be a luncheon , Class reunions, baseball game and tennis
' match, then the banquet followed by
a program in the auditorium and a
dance in the gymnasium.
President Harvey A. Andruss welcomes all alumni and friends to come
on this day. The classes that are in
reunion this year are : 1867, 1880 ,
1881 , 1886 , 1891, ..1896,. 1901, 1906 ,

ANOTHER YEAR GONE BY
i

As another school term comes to a close, there are over one hundred young men and women from Bloomsburg State Teachers College alone who must begin their journey into a universe of chaos,
ignorance, and panic. They must depart from a school where peace
and friendship abound — where no anxiety over world affairs
amounts to anything more than a newspaper headline. Yet, upon
leaving an institution of this type, they must face life — with its hardships, unemployment, and now what seems like inevitable war.
Of what value is this education? Have not these four years been
wasted? The original goal was a degree, a teaching position, a family—happiness and prosperity. Now the goal is Europe—once more!
—a damnable hell on earth where life is insignificant, where j oy
and love are futile hopes, where selfishness, power, politics, hatred,
and j ealously penetrate, like molten lava, into every helpless corner.
Can a four-year education help us at all in establishing and
preserving a world peace? There is no other answer but YES. Now,
as never before, nothing is more valuable than education. With it
one realizes the causes and the characteristics of war, and the destruction deposited by the receding flood of bomb fires. Education,
which enables us to retain high moral standards, is the only buoy
that floats between humanity and the depths of darkness. Education
is the only hope—it must be preserved, protected and expanded—
it must not be neglectedl Democracy cannot survive without iti
SELF EDUCATION
Self-education is energizing sometimes; and sometimes devitalizing—depending, I suppose, upon the stimulant or sedative with which
it is taken. Dimnet suggests a cup of tea for putting the mind in a receptive mood; EhrJick would have accomplished less without a cigar—
so the movie seems to suggest; and liquor certainl y spirited Poe on
to greater glory—both literall y and actually.
In the face of all this, however, I am inclined to think that selfeducation is best advanced by the will to be educated or to educate.
Some learn more by teaching than by being taug ht. As for myself , I
never fully understood the atomic theory until I taug ht it. And by the
learning of this one item a new field of understan ding opened before
me. All doubts and misunderstandings and non-understandings were
quickly satisfied.
Truly, there is nothing more advancive toward education than
the will for intelligence. An abhorence for ignorance is by far more
stimulating than any "seeming ly " necessary awakening or "tuning
up " of the intelligence b y resting the nervous system,
Ignorance is a vice as much as intelli gence is a virtue. I have
only to know my vice to seek my virtue . But tell a proud man he is
proud and he is quickly insulted. Vice masques itself with self-love.
Let him who would be virtuous , then , be more concerned with others
than with himself ; and consequently, let him who would be educated
be virtuous with hate for ignorance. If one must have a vice, let it
be hate—lot bad and its cohort, ignorance ; for one ennnot be good and
be ignorant of wrong,
The desire for intelligence in itself is intelli gence; and the low liest man by this becomes great.
Ignorance is wrong and breeds wrong-doing.
Intelligence is good and breeds the best,

By Alex Foster

Ee'ore we stow away the battered
typewriter for another year, this department would like to take a last
minute fling at the sport happenings,
with your permission , of course. This
has been a better-than-average venture into the sports picture for BSTC
and we are hoping that the coming
year will bring even better rewards.
However, Uncle Sam will no doubt
take his toll this summer and fall on
our athletes. We hope, on the other
hand , that next fall will bring to this
campus a talented batch of athletes
to further boost the high standards
of B.S.T.C. sports.
A sour note in this year's spor t
program was the absence of spring
football practice. Every college that
lists football on its schedule holds
several weeks of rigid but very essential drilling during the spring
months. Why this college has seen fit
to dispense with spring training is
beyond the comprehension of this unknowing observer. Certainly, no college can expect to win any reasonable
number of football contests by summoning interesting candidates together several weeks before th£ start
of the season, and such will unquestionably be the case here. Handicapped , anyway, by the lack of real
material (which grows abundantly in
this region ) coaches face a difficult
task when expected to win football

SHOWING THE WAY !

SUPPORT FOOTBALL

J enkins , Spontak
Lead Sophomores
To I. C. Victory

It certainly shows very clearly
what a winning athletic team can do
to advertise a college. Our track team
at B.S.T.C. has won recognition in all
leading Eastern newspapers with
their outstanding record and achievements in the past four or five years.
You can hardly pick up a metropolitan sheet without catching a gander
at the performances of the B.S.T.C.
track unit. For this reason, B.S.T.C.
has become known throughout the
East as a top-notch track school.
This department knows because we
have been exposed to such talk which
came from the mouths of several
high-ra nking sport officials.
Football is defini tely a sport that
needs to be either emphasized or deemphasized at Bloomsburg, This is
one of the sports on any program that
receives the most attention , not only
f rom coaches , fa ns, but also, most
important of all, from prospective
students. The average high school
student , whether an athlete or not,
because most youth follow sports,
scans the daily sport pages to watch
the action of nearby colleges. When
he sees t h at fo o tb a ll , a national institution of long standing, is on t he
decli n e, he hesitates as he feels the
coll ege, in mention , lacks the certain
something. For proof we offer Susquehanna University, Texas A. & M.,
and College of the Pacific.
These are but a few of the many
colleges in this country that got a
much-needed push by virtue of winning football elevens. Susquohanna
was hitherto unknown in the athletic
world until they came up with an
unbeaten eleven last fall. Now they
occupy a place of importance in the
sport world and also they havo little
trouble in getting athletes or students to onroJJ.
B.S.T.C. needs to enter the football

verdict, Tho Seniors with Dan Bonham , the veteran, took moat of the
honors In the weights and tosses
while the Frosh sparked by Kania
and Egroff did themselves proud In
several of the distance runs.

Unable to restrain the winning bid
made by West Chester Teachers , the
B.S.T.C. track and field unit, four
times holder of the coveted Teachers
crown , ran an impressive second to
the near-Philadelphia school in the
annual State Teachers College track
meet held at Shippensburg over the
past weekend.
With a field of thirty athletes representing the West Chester colors,
the winners capt ured 76% points
while Bloomsburg supplied 59% to
cop the number 2 spot in the meet.
Cheney, feat uring East, one of the
fastest men in this section of the
U. S., took third with 27, Shippensburg and East Stroudsburg were tied
for the fo urth position with 21%
each, and Lock Haven eked out a
lone marker to take undisputed possession of the final rung.
Dan Bonham, the Huskies outstanding Senior weight-man , wore
the Maroon and Gold track garb for
the last time and in doing so grabbed
three events for B.S.T.C. and broke
two records also. In winning the discus, shotput , and javelin events, Big
Dan heaved the discus 141 ft. 5%
inches to snap a mark which he set
last year. The Forty Fort ace, who
will be sorely missed next year, blevir
off the lid in the tossing the shot
46 ft. 6% inches to better the previous record heave.
Jenkins Stars
Don Jenkins, Sophomore speedmerchant, ran to glory in the 440
and low hurdles running against the
best the Teachers ranks could muster. Jenkins ran third in the high
hurdles and the j avelin which netted
him a total of sixteen points and
coupled with the thirty-one, a gift
of Dan Bonham, halfed the entire
total made by B.S.T.C.
Ronald Egroff , promising Frosh
miler, shared honors with the FortyFort athletes by out-distancing his
field to come home the winner in the
half mile.
Besides doing justice for B.S.T.C.
Bonham was the scoring star of the
meet for his thirty-one point total
easily out-did the efforts of all other
entrants.
West Chester in compiling their
grand-slam total scored only three
firs t places but placed enough men
in remaining four spots to win handily. Bloomsburg nabbed six No. 1
positions, but in vain. Bonner, standout Stroudsburg distance man who
beat B.S.T.C. here earlier in the year,
was a double winner.
Following is the places taken by
Bloomsburg in the meet:

Could-A-Bee
by Bill Hagenbuch

We're off in a cloud of dust and a
rattle of nuts and bolts—only a few
days left—ye gad! It's hard to believe. The seniors tear'in around like
new members of- their way to an elks
clambake—the underclassmen tear'in
their hair because of "finals ". Oh
well, it all goes to make up the world.
Sort of reminds me of the time my
little cousin graduated from high
school. What a graduation—there was
Joey, all dolled up like Astor's pet
horse going to the opera—high collar , cap and gown, hair plastered
down , and looking as uncomfortable
as aunt Hattie when her corset
strings are too tight . Back in the
third row and just as uncomfortable
sat a motley array of various and
sundry relatives. The program got
under way with the usual sort of beginning, a D bass solo, 2 poems and
some violent contortions from a mezzo soprano. The whole show was
scheduled to run an hour, and by the
end of the second hour, Joey was as
exhausted as if he had run two miles
in a straight jacket—in short , he was
"pooped". Long comes the time give
out the sheepskins, up steps Joey,
thrusts out his chin at a seventy-two
angle, trips on the lower hem of his
gown upsets fourteen flowerpots and
winds up under the organ . The superintendent jumped to his feet adjusted
his upper plate and with one manful
effort tried to restore order and get
back Mr. "Willoughby 's wig which was
caught between the B flat and A
pedal. What a mess! But Joey graduated—I saw his name in black and
white.
Here's luck and the best of everything to all the seniors, but for
heaven's sake—stay away from the
organ.

A large crowd of st udents , faculty,

Chet Lincoln and His Orchestra ,

Ivy, always green, is a fitting plant
to symbolize the spirit and everlasting friendship of the students who
graduate from Bloomsburg State
Teachers College.
Ivy From the Capi tol
At the turn of the century it was
the custom for the members of the
senior class to visit Washington , D. C.
at Christmas. On their visit they received sprigs of ivy from the Capitol,
the White House, and Mount Vernon.
These they brought back to the
Bloomsburg State Normal School and
kept until the following spring when
they were planted.
Every year thereafter the senior
class has planted a sprig of ivy on
the camp us. A member of the senior
class gives an oration in commemoration of the planting and the class
sing the class song for that particular
year.
A few of the planting locations on
the camp us are as follows:
1911 , Main entrance to the Lobby
1918 , Outside the Gymnasium
1919 , Outside the Dining Hall
1920, Corner Fire Tower of Long
Porch
1926 , Tower of North Hall
1931 , Science Hall
1936 , Carver Hall, Northwest side
1937, Noetling Hall, East side
1940 , Junior High School

another part of this program and was

President H. A. Andruss , was one
of the speakers at the 44th Ann ual
Convention of the Eastern Coinniercial Teachers Association which was
held in the Hotel Statler , Boston .
Mr . Andruss spoke on the topic:
"Adapting Learning Experiences to
the Needs and Abilities of Students."
The great need at the present time
seems to be tjie provision of different
eurricul ums for gifted stu dents as
well as weak students. Many times
large amounts of time and money are
spent in bringing weak students up
to the average while superior or gifted st udents are allowed to coast. Ability grouping is only the first step in
..the. j direction of adopting ,schools to
children.
The Eastern Commercial Teachers
Association is the largest group of its
kind in the Eastern United States.
