Betty Lebengood, Mary Trump, Margaret Dean , Jean A ckerm an , Louise
Madl , Mary Schroeder and Pauline
Garey .
Faculty and Trustee women and
wives of the Navy men were invited.
Preceeding the party, officers of the
Day and Dormitory organizations
held a dinner at which past presidents were guests of honor.
Grand March

The Party opened with a grand
march and the jud ging of costumes
by alumnae jud ges, Mrs. Betty Jones
Harris, Marie Parsell, Mary Jane

original group went to a First Aid

believe that college girls are not too
far removed from their teeter-totter
days.
At this point in the program, Louise Mndl , president of Day Women
Association and Ruth Ebright, president oi' the Waller Hall Association,
introduced members of their respective official boards, who, in turn , introduced their successors and presented each of them with a corsage.

served and the remainder of the evening was given to dancing. On all
hands, handsome "gentlemen " and
their graceful ladies, tripped the light

three-act play which has proved so
popular this season with both college and university amateur groups.
The authors, Fritz Rotter and Allen
Vincent, have managed to bring this
clever, amusing, and sometimes serious play to a happy conclusion. The
play , which deals with the problems
of girls in an American school at
Lucerne, Switzerland, portrays the
unusual situations that arose in the
late summer of 1939.
The cast consists of Betty Bierman,
Sara Jean Eastman, Elsie Flail, Harv ey Huber, Betty Katerman, Jean
Kuster, Lucille Martino, Jean Maschal , Salvatore Mazzeo, Marilyn Sailer , Ann Shortess and Charles Taylor.

,
cently received here, the State Department of Education has approved
the establishment of an educational
program in Pennsylvania State
Teachers Colleges for High School instructors in the field of. Aeronautics.
Bloomsburg State Teachers College
was the first to set up the course.
Applications are also pending from
colleges at Lock Haven, Clarion, Edinboro, California and Indiana.
This program was developed by
the Board of Presidents of State
Teachers Colleges so as to provide
competent teachers in high schools,
thus making available courses in
aeronautics in such institutions.
Aeronautic courses for high school
teachers, however, will be made
available only in those Teachers Colleges where the facilities are adequate to carry on this program. This
is another effort on the part of the
colleges to meet one of the many additional demands being made for
teachers who are qualified to teach
certain fundamental principles that
must be known by fliers and all
those entering this field .
In accordance with this program
the following subj ects will be offered :
aviation mathematics, meteorology,
climatology, aerial navigation, aircraft communication and regulation,
theory of flight, aircraf t engines, and
history and identification of aircraft.
The colleges offering this program
must be prepared to offer approximately a year 's work in specialization
in ground school courses in aeronautics. A landing field and planes
must also be available within a short
distance of the college so as to permit occasional related activities.

A CHILD'S MEM ORY

Such soothing words he never heard ,
Such loving words as she would say ,
Or murmurs sweeter than a word ,
Would whisper to him as he lay,
Whil e he, in smiling j oy, would rest ,
For hours , his head upon her breast.
So grave and still he used to be,
And so she held him on her knee
In a fond clasp, so close, so tight
He oft en dreamed of it at night.
Harri et Sterling.

NEW YORK , HERE WE COME , OR
IMPRESSION OF THE "BIG TOWN"
With Miss Maupin's forceful words ringing in our ears, "We're on the
ba ttle-line of ignorance ," Slug and I set out to explore New York at War
during our Easter vacation and to combat some of that ignorance. And the
things we learned—Well!
First , if you think you 've seen som e handso me men , girls , just hide
.yourself in a corner of Grand Central Station and swoon as the gorgeous
soldiers and sailors pass by. There 's any thing you want, Army, Navy, Australian fliers , French Marines, Dutch sailors, Canadian inf antry men, and
an endless list of unidentical but very intriguing looking service men.
Slug and I ventured into that huge place just to observe some of the drama
and ended up holding each other back from joining in the affectionate
farewells. Along the women 's fashion hue, we couldn 't help but notice that
the Navy blue of the WAVES and SPARS and the khaki of the WAACS
and Marines completely outshone all the bright Easter finery that walked
up and down Fiftli Avenue.
As we expected, Lady Liberty still looks mighty fine out there in the
middle of the harbor surrounded by rusty boats bristling with guns.
Being very intellectually minded and incidentally, rather low on funds,
we took in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the City Zoo. Even with
most of its valuables removed for safety , we still found plenty to see and
much new to assimilate into our craniums.
One fascinating exhibit was a glass"ed-in case containing an Egyptian
mummy curled up in a "contracted" position wi th part of its bones showing
through the torn wrappings. What was left of the bones looked like spun
candy.
After our visit to the zoo, we sat down in Central Park and watched
the children as they came out of the zoo clinching a bag of peanuts in one
hand and a balloon in the other. We overheard one bow-legged chubby little
boy ask his mother where the animals were going and when she replied
tha t they were going to bed he said , with a most puzzled look on his face,
"But Mummy aren't they going to have tea first? " Imagine, tea!
Another piece of valuable information we want to pass on is that when
in New York relax in the subway just as the rest of the people do instead
of straining every muscle in your body trying to read the fast disappearing
white-tiled signs naming the stops. It's much simplier j ust to wait for the
last stop and then get off. Of course, maybe you wouldn 't be at the place
you wanted to be, but , at least you 'll have a much less complicated trip.
That way you won 't get off in the heart of Harlem and have a policeman tell
you to get out of that section if you value your life. But things like that
make life more interesting.
With food as expensive as it is, may I add that malted milk shakes
supply an unbelievable amount of nourishment and fortitude to carry on.
And they still only cost ten cents.
After finally coming to an agreement with the Greyhound lines about
letting us have a seat, the two of us are back on campus with enlightened
souls ready for our next encounter with the battle line of ignorance.

An old maid is a girl who is

Educational Soft Spots ••
Phil ad elphi a, Pa. — (ACP)—Th e
war is going to show us our educational soft spots the hard way, according to Dr. Frederick H. Lund,
who believes too many college Freshmen are homesick and too many high
school students tell the teachers "to
go to hell. "
A professor of psychology at Temple University , Dr. Lund is looking to
the 18-10-year-old draft to show us
these soft spots.
"Education for war should be
tough ," he said. "How can we expect to have discipline in the field if
these young men can't stand disciplinary action in college?"
"Pupils must be taught to obey flrst.
Then there should be a hardening of
the curriculum so that the pupil is
forced to develop adequate work
habits,"

BLOOMSBURG SUMMER SESSIONS

Summer Sessions ,
High School Graduates Eligible For
An Ideal Place
Begin June 7, 1943
For Summe r Stud y
Entrance Into Any Summer Session
The Town of Bloomsburg. Bloomsburg is an attractive town of the
thousand population in one of the
most beautiful regions of Pennsylvania.
The school is situated abo ut a mile
from the Susquehanna River, and
one hundred fifty feet above it on a
gently sloping hill commanding a
view of the valley. A campus of over
fif ty acres affords ample space for
lawns and athletic grounds, and includes a large and beautiful oak
grove. Nine large buildings admirably adapted to their different uses,
constitute the physical plant of the
school .
Carver Hall. Carver Hall, erect ed
in 1867 and named for Henry Carver,
the first principal, stands at the head
of Main Street. Its white belfry and
pillared entrance form a picturesque
approach to the College campus and
buildings. The building contains
classrooms and the College auditor ium.
Noetling Hall. Noetling Hall is in
the rear of Carver Hall. Here the
Department of Business Education is
housed. In this building a large,
well-furnished room is provided for
the Day women, together with an
adj oining room for the noon luncheon. Electrical appliances are provided for the convenience of the
students. The Dean of Day Women
has her office adj oining the large
room.
Benj amin Franklin Laboratory
School. North of Waller Hall stands
the new Training School . It is designed , planned, and equipped in accordance with the best modern practice. It provides teacher-training facilities from the kindergarten to the
sixth grade, including a group of
Special Education. Among the features is a special room arranged for
observation and demonstration work.
Science Hall. Science Hall affords
modern facilities for the latest methods of work in sciences. The laboratories are large and adequately
equipped . Laboratories fitted for the
work in the biological subj ects are
located on the first floor. The laboratories for physics and chemistry are
on the second floor. There are two
modern lecture rooms, with lanterns,
screens, and complete equipment for
demonstration and illustration. There
are also two large , well-lighted art
studios. The Department of Music is
housed in this building.
The New Gymnasium. Constructed
and equipped at a cost of more than
$350 ,000 , contains swimming pool,
three gymnasium floors, five offices ,
and two classrooms. It also provides
new dressing rooms and permanent
bleachers seating 1,000.
The Library . The Library is located on the second floor of Waller
Hall. New equipment has recently
been installed. The collection of
books comprises about 2,500 volumes
of standard works of fiction , history,
education, the leading encyclopedias,
dictionaries and books of reference.
The reading tables are well-supplied
with all the important local and national newspapers and magazines for
the free use of the Btudents.
The Dining Room. On the first
floor of Waller Hall is the Dining
Room, an attractive, well-lighted
room. It is in charge of an expert
dietitian who supervises the selection,
the preparation and the service of

A summer session program
of twelve weeks enables entering students to complete
four year teacher education
curriculums in three calendar years. At the same time,
teachers-in-service have an
expanded opportunity to enroll for one or more of the
summer sessions. Courses
may thus be completed to
the amount of three, six,
nine or twelve semester
hours. Freshmen students
should plan to enter on June
7, although they will be accepted at the beginning of
any summer session or semester. By this means, the
fourth year usually spent in
college as a Senior may be
productive to the extent of $1,000 to $1,200 as a teacher. Placement records
and present demands indicate a continuing request for teachers in the public
schools. Even before 1940, 92 out of every 100 Bloomsburg graduates securgd positi ons. Of degree graduates since 1930, seventy-seven per cent were
teachers and fifteen per cent gainfully employed. Only eight per cent were
unemployed, married (never having taught), deceased, or were called into
the armed forces immediately on graduation.
The cost of completing the four-year curriculums in three calendar
years is about the same as under the four college year plan. Securing a position a year earlier meets an existing need of our democracy and thus insures tenure status in a profession whose salary is likely to advance.
Those who are now enrolled and others who may so indicate will progress on the four-year plan. So if a student embarks on the threeryear plan
and finds for some reason he cannot complete it, the four college year plan
will be continued. The three calendar year plan supplements but does not
supplant the four-year plan.
Information Relative to Enrollment
If you are considering enrollment for the 1942 Summer Sessions, it is
suggested that you write immediately to Dr. Thomas P. North , Dean of Instruction, telling him the grade of certificate you now hold, the grade of certificate you desire, and list in preferential order at least three courses which
you desire. Complete information will be sent you promptly, .and every effort will be made to meet your individual needs.
Teach ers-in-Service, before taking advanced work, are urged to decide
very definitely the fields and type of certification desired. They sh ould make
sure that the work selected will be accepted for the desired certification by
the Department of Public Instruction and that there is no duplication of
cou rses, or work taken, which later cannot be credited as desired.
Transfer Students
Students transferring from other Colleges should have an interview with
our Dean of Instruction a few days before the opening of the session. The
prospective student should present a transcript of college credits together
with a statement of honorable dismissal. This interview will be more satisfactory than one held during the rush of registration day.
A student desiring transfer from another College must first present a
letter of honorable dismissal and a complete record of the work taken at his
former College. These records shall be sent directly from the College to the
office of the Dean of Instruction.
In evaluating and crediting the work of a student transferring from another College, credit shall be given only for work having a grade one letter
point or the equivalent above the lowest passing grads of the institution
from which the student is transferring.
food. Special effort is made to have
the dining room homelike. The
round tables, each seating eight students, contribute much to the social
life of the meal hour.
Educational Clinic . Many children
are not profiting as fully as they
might from the instruction received
in the regular classroom. In order to
coordinate the personnel and facilities of the college to provide an opportunity for the identification and
removal of such obstacles in the development of individual students, the
educational clinic was inaugurated in
February , 1030. Rooms in Noetling
Hall house modern equipment instruments, tests, and other materials useful in the diagnosis of children's
learning and adjustment difficulties.
Health Service. Two College agencies cooperate to provide a comprehensive health service. (1) The Department of Health Education is pri-

marily responsible for the auricular
and extra-curricular activities in the
fields of health education and athletics, and (2) The College medical
service provides a regular nurse, and
includes a well-equipped infirmary
and an isolation hospital.
o

Placement Record .

The Placement Service of the
Teachers College cooperates with the
Placement Service-Teacher Division,
Department of Public Instruction,
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania , thus offering additional facilities for the
placement of our students and graduates. Many superintendents apply
directly to us when in need of teach ers.
The Teacher Placement Service ofthe Department of Public Instruction

Regular Session:
Monday , June 28 to Saturday, Auggust 7, 1943
Post Session:
Monday , August 9 to Saturday, August 28, 1943
The State Teachers College at
Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, is maintained by the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania for the professional
education of teachers for the Public
Schools of Pennsylvania. The Summer Sessions are designed primarily
to enable Pennsylvania teachers to
advance professionally and to meet
the certification standards approved
by the State Council of Education.
All the courses offered will be on a
collegiate basis and will be of particular interest to the following:
(1) Undergraduates desiring to .
complete degree requirements in
three calendar years.
(2) Undergraduates qfislifyifig for
advanced standing or the removal of
conditions.
(3) Teacher-in-Service qualifying
for (a) advanced State Certification,
(b) the Degree of Bachelor of Science
in Education, and (c) the Permanent
College Certificate.
(4) College Graduates qualifying
for State Certification through courses in education and student teaching.
The work of the Regular Session,
beginning June 28, will be scheduled
so that one ninety-minute period per
day , for five days per week, will constitute a three semester-hour course,
except where adj ustments for laboratory courses are needed. Six semester-hours of credit is the normal load
for the six weeks' session.
In sp ecial cases, with the approval
in advance of the President, seven
semester-hours may be permitted.
Students working for a State Certificate desiring to take more than six
semestex*"hours may be permitted,
sion in advance from the Teacher Division, Department of Public Instruction.
An opportunity for additional work
will be provided this summer by a
three weeks' Pre-Sessipn and three
weeks Post-Session. The work of the
three weeks sessions will be scheduled so that two ninety-minute per- .
iods per day for five days per week,
will constitute a three semester-hour
course, except where adjustments for
laboratory courses are needed.
Students not living in their own
homes are required to live in the
dormitories. An early application
will secure a desirable room. A cordial invitation is extended to visit
the College and to discuss any matters of detail with Dr. Thomas P.

MEN TO BE TRAI NED IN
NEW FLYING PROG RAM

The State Teachers College at
Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, has been
designated by the Civil Aeronautics
Authority of the United States Department of Commerce to offer a
course in Pre-Flight Aeronautics for
teachers during the coming Pre-session, June 7 to June 26, 1943.
This course will be made available
in a limited number of the fourteen
State Teachers Colleges where facilities and adequate space are available to carry on the program. This
is an effort to provide competent
teachers in high schools making
available courses in fundamental
principles aeronautics that must be
known by fliers or by those entering
this field.
The education courses cover such
subj ects, as aviation mathematics
aircraft , communications and aerial
navigation, __ meterology, theory of
flight, history and identification of air
craft, aircraf t engines and climatology.
Among the requirements of schools
off ering the program is that they be
prepared to offer net less than approximately a year 's work in specialization in ground school courses
in aeronautics. A landing field and
planes must be available within a
distance permitting occasional visitations.
Teachers-in-service interested in
this new field toward which certification will be made in the near future,
may communicate with Dr. T. P.
Nor th , Dean of Instruction.
The college has also been inspected
and approved for the new Navy college training program, to begin
arou nd Ju ly 11 and to be entirely
separate and in addition to the Naval
Flight Instructors School which has
been successfully operating here since
last November .
A minimum quota of 175 men has
been suggested by the Navy and this
may be increased as facilities are
made available.
The proposed new program has
nothing to do with flight instruction
and will in no way interfere with the
present program of ground and flight
courses of the Navy Flight Instruction school.
The boys who enter such a Navy
college training , for V-12 program
will carry an academic curriculum
with particular emphasis on mathematics and physics. They will have
the rating of apprentice seamen. The
facilities of the college will permit
the carrying on of this .program entirely separate, even to housing, from
the Navy Officers who are in training
here. The V-12 men will be permitted to lead a normal college life may
^
participate in athletics, join fraternities and otherwise association In
campus activities just as regular col lege students.
Student Teachin g during the summer is designed particularly for experi enced or in-ser vice teachers so
that they may meet the requirem ents
for the Degree of Bach elor of Science
in Educa tion , Since this group is interested In the latest developments
In the field of actu al teaching, the

During the Last Seven
Year ; Cobb and Litw hiler
;
Years
The designation of Bloomsburg State Teachers College as ,; one of the
Led Attack
One of the most incredible college
track records of the last ten years is
held by B. S. T. C. since Coach
George Buchheit took command in
1933. Undefeated in dual competition during the past seven years,
Buchheit also has the distinction of
dropping only two meets while winning thirty over the ten year period.
In the thirty-two meets, Husky
track teams have not merely eked
out victories over opponents, bu t they
have won most events by comfortable margins and many by lopsided
counts. A t ot al of 2,571.7 points have
been recorded as against 1,479.4 for
the opposition.
West Chester 's Rival
Only two teachers colleges have
won the annual State Teachers College meet over the past decade,
Bloomsburg having won it four
times and West Chester six. The
Huskies have long been close rivals
of the Rams, and the meet has of late
been mainly between the two schools
for track supremacy.
In comparing the two schools'
track teams of the past, it is interesting to note that at every state meet
West Chester always had about 30
on hand to participate whereas the
Maroon and Gold usually sent a dozen. When the point scoring is on the
5-4-3-2-1 basis, it constantly favors
the larger squad.
Enter Penn Relays
Coach Buchheit has taken numerous performers to the Penn Relays
and other meets, and on every occasion the Maroon and Gold clad
athletes did well.
Bloomsburg relay teams in the
Penn Relay Carnival have captured
three firsts and one second in the
College Class Relay and one second
and three thirds in the Teachers College Relay. Considering the competition , this was good .
Individual performers such as Dan
Kemple, who placed fourth in the
two mile run in 1940, and George
Spon ta k , runner-up in the 400 meter
hurdles last spring, also have done
well.
'
What Coach Buchheit is proud of
most, however, is the showings of
Dan Bonham, George Spontak and
Matt Kashuba in the National A. A.
U. Championships. In 1941, Bonham
placed third in the discus and flfth
in the ja velin. Last season Spontak
was third in Junior 400-meter hurdles and fourth in the Senior of the
same event. Kashuba finished a good
fourth in the Senior high ju mp and
sixth in the Junior championships.
As Buchheit points out, to even
place in these events is a high honor,
arftl to get as high as third or fourth
definitely shows the ability of the
athlete. The competition is extremely hig h , and some of the most reputable colleges and universities in the
nation send men to the annual
championships.
The Huskies won two relay events
at the Penn A. C. games In 1939 and
1940. Matt Kashuba tied for the high
j ump there last year and then won
the Middle Atlantic A. A. U. j ump
single handed. Spontak placed second in the 400-metor hurdles and
Walter Kanla third In the mile run.
The following Is a brief summary
of some of the notable achievements
of Bloomsburg track teams:

Navy V-12 schools in Pennsylvania may rescue inter-collegiate athletics
from the depths into which it has fast been plundering. When Bloomsburg:
was listed as a possibility for the program, this column discussed briefly the
situation at that time. As things now stand, the training- will begin July 1.
Most of these men will be about eighteen to twenty years old with a real
love for competition.

When sport analysts of the nation made the subj ect of inter-collegiate
athletics for the specialized students hot last fall, Army and Navy authorities gave a partial answer. The Army definitely frowned upon the idea because as they stated it, "the students wouldn't have time." Naval authori ties, however , approved the plan at that time. According- to recent reports,
the students will engage in all activities that regular students do. So it does
not seem impossibile that Bloomsburg S. T. C. may be able to field a football team by next autumn—and a good one at that.

The Penn Relays at Philadelphia April 23-24 marked the first lime in
qui te a few years that B. S. T. C. was .not represented. Had it not been for
an unfortunate accident, however, George Spontak would undoubtedly have
been an entry in the events. Here was a fellow who last year finished second in the 400-meter hurdles, and , had it not been for a tough break would
have won the event easily. Clarence Doak, the winner, was beaten easily l>y
Spontak in the National A. A. U. Championships. The mark set this year
was below George's record.

Another shift of coaches occurred last week when Coach Eddie Gillian,
on leave of absence from Shippensburg, was signed by Kutztown as physical
director "for the duration ," replacing Lieut. James "Mac" McGovern. Gul ian will help direct the 300 Army cadets at that school.
* * * * * *

The Scranton Red Sox' training season here was badly interrupted by
much rain, plus wind, low temperatures and many other things. All the
games had to be postponed, including the engagement with New Cumberland '!
' Service Unit. It was good for the publicity side, however. Chic Feldman , sports writer of the Scranton Tribune , covered j the Sox I and gave out
a lot of information to up-river fans about the college.

Since 1934, Dr. E. H. Nelson, popular baseball coach and Director of
Athletics, has produced baseball
nines that have compiled a record of
55 wins against 35 losses, including
one state championship in 1935.
During that 1935 season, the Huskies reaped the harvest, winning
twelve while losing none. Only one
ga me, that with East Stroudsburg,
was N elson 's outfit hard pressed, but
they came through to win going
away, 10-9.
Litwhiler and Cobb Played
Danny Litwhiler and Bernie Cobb
were members of that ieam. Cobb,
who then played under the name of
Kafchinski, was a real terror to opposing pitchers. He batted well over
.400, and most of his drives were
extra bases. Cobb had several trials
with minor league teams after graduating, but loss of eyesight prevented him from hitting the majors. Elmira, Wilmington, Rochester and
Tulsa were clubs who had Cobb at
diff erent times.
Of course everyone knows the
story of Litwhiler. In that 1935 season Danny was only a Freshman, but
even then he began to look like a
great hitter. Litwhiler even today
says that Cobb gave him priceless
hints to improve his hitting.
Win Over Penn
Dr. Nelson has seen players come
and go, good games and bad ones,
thrills and spills; but probably "the
greatest kick he ever got out of the
great American game was on that
fair May day in 1938, in Philadelphia
when with two out in the ninth, the
bases crammed, and the Huskies behind , 9-6, Danny Litwhiler slammed
a pitch out of the park to win the
tilt, 10-9.
Spell on Havenites
Bloomsburg has long held a winning edge over Lock Haven, having
copped fourteen of seventeen games
over the nine year span. Other colleges over which the Huskies hold
decisive edges are Millersville, 7-1,
Susquehanna , 5-0, and Mansfield , 9-4.
Several other players besides Litwhiler and Cobb have gone into organized baseball after leaving here.
Al Finder played in the Virginia
League briefly ; Whitey Moleski
pitched some for Hazleton of the
Inter-State and also in Cuba while
with American forces; and Woody
Litwhiler pitched good ball for Trenton late last summer in the InterState.
Nelson has handled many ball
players during his years here on the
hill and will undoubtedly continue
to turn out material for professional
baseball once this war is over.

was trying my hand at some immature poetry which was published in our
M. and G. Poetry Corner. But since I've taken this j ob, I've had little time
