College Student Body To Enjoy Ballad Concert
Passing between classes students
have in all probability noticed the
table outside of the Social Room—the
Red Cross Contribution Center of the
school.
The records show that about 200
students have taken out $1.00 memberships or more. With the contributions of both students and faculty the
fund is now approximately §3S0.
There are still many students who
have not contributed to this worthy
cau se. IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID
YOUR MEMBE RSHIP, DO SO AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE .

Dr. Henry Klonower
Stresses Need for
TeacherS'in*Service
The great need for in-service teacher education during the next ten
years has been stressed by Dr. Henry
Klonower, Director of Teacher Education and Certification of the Department of Public Instruction, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania .
Dr. Klonower has released data
which indicates the number of teachers holding college certificates employed in districts under county superintendents in 1943-44. The figures
indicate that there are counties in
which only 25% of such teachers hold
college certificates and at the top of
the range the highest county has 60%
which hold college certificates. The
percentage for this county is 58.6%.
In another chart which indicates
the per cent of elementary school
teachers holding college certificates
of all elementary teachers employed ,
the general range is much lower with
one county having as low as 4.9%
holding college certificates and the
highest county having a percentage
of 46.2%. The percentage for this
county is 39.8%.
Dr. Klonower points out that the
State has reached "the half-way goal"
in its teacher education program and
that it has taken approximately
twenty-five years to achieve a 50%
college level of proportion for teachers now in public schools ,

Cecile Hamilton
Contributes to
Aviation Fund
Recent Commencement Speaker
Furthers Experimental Courses
The 'Aviation Fund* at Bloomsburg
State Teachers College has been the
recipient of its first contribution. In a
gracious gesture to the experimental
aviation programs which have been
pioneered at the local college Miss
Cecile Hamilton , assistant aviation
editor of the New York Herald Tribune, recent commencement speaker,
has returned her uncashed honorarium check with the request that it
be used in some connection with aviation at the college. Miss Hamilton,
in returning the money, requested
President Harvey A . Andruss to determine "how it can best be used in
promoting aviation at the Bloomsburg State Teachers' College."
Miss Hamilton was an interested
observer last July of the experimental aviation laboratory school conducted by the college when, for the firs t
t ime, boys and girls above the age of
fourteen had an opportunity to participate in an organized program of
fligh t and ground instruction. Another feature of the laboratory was
the jo int participation of high school
teachers from four eastern states, The
high school boys and girls in the
course came from nine eastern seaboard states. A similar aviation program for high school students above
fourteen and high school teachers of
aeronautice will be conducted this
summer,

Bloomsburg Player s
Carry on Work

Earl Spicer, America's foremost
ballad singer will appear on the Carver Hall stage Wednesday, March 21.

Miss Johnston, sponsor and- directress of the Bloomsburg Players has
a leave of absence to teach and study
at Hunter College. In her absence
Miss Van Scoyoc third grade teacher
at the Benjamin Franklin Training
School is acting as sponsor.
Because of the graduation and
other elements influencing the Navy
men , the club membership has depleted considerably. The club wants new
members. The meetings are held
weekly at 7:00 p.m. Tuesday evenings .
The meetings are made interesting
and constructive . Various club members direct and present a one act play.
On March 20, the club will present
n one act play,
All who are interested are invited
to attend this meeting, nnd those to
como as members,

Mr. Spicer 's program promises to
be an unusually different and entertaining one because of his creation
of a new type of vocal entertainment.
With versatility this widely known
baritone has. abandoned the stereotyped recital and solved the problem
of song communication by dramatizing the songs.
He rose from a country boy who
sang as he did his farm chores to a
distinguished New York baritone who
has sung before Royalties of Europe,
the President of the United States,
and with many of the leading symphony orchestras .
After his return to the United
States from Europe where he was
studying and touring, he achieved
immediate success, singing opera, oratorio, lledor.
I-Ie is exceptionally gifted in singing the old traditional bnllads and
has been called "A master of the ballad."
Mr. Spicer has a priceless sense o£
humor, His characterization of tho old
lady who lost her teeth or the shy
country lover promise amusement to
the audience.

America's fighting men know there's

tho Joneses.

The bewitching hour was at hand;
but the rustle of housecoats could be
heard as their owners swished to and
fro, tending to those millions of last
minu te details that simply must be
taken care of before one can retire
with a satisfied conscience. Then came
a period of silence, broken only by
the infrequent , muffled , feminine giggles. The time passed and soon were
heard the familiar steps of the night

From somewhere down the hall drif ted the sounds of footsteps—ever so

was trying to make as little noise as

faint melody that seemed to blend
with the now more audible tap-taptapping. Slowly—and ever so silently,
as if some ghostly hand penetrated by
fear were turning the knobs,—several
doors opened. The disturbed and bewildered sleepers tiptoed inch by inch
through the wide corridor. There was
nothing in sight, and yet the melody
and the tapping were 'becoming more
distinct with each advanced inch. It
was noddingly agreed that the source
of "It" lay around the corner. Ah ,

Story of Pctnzarine
And Silverstein
«

Once upon a time there was a
bashful boy with a friend who was a
bashful boy too. Now these two bashful boys had saved their pennies and
and bought a beautiful white sticker
with a red cross on it. After these two
bashful boys had looked and looked
at their beautiful white sticker with
a red cross on it they decided it was
j ust too lovely for their humble abode .
So, they put their bashful heads together and decided to donate their
beautiful white sticker with the red
cross on it to the public so the public
could enjoy its beauty. They ran their
tongues over the sticky side of their
sticker and then pressed it to the window j ust outside of the Dean of
Women 's Office . As they stood and
looked and looked at their white
sticker with a rod cross on it they
decided that something was lacking.
There was nothing on it to explain
who gave it to tho public. So tho
one bashful boy, said to the other
bashful boy : "Lot's put our names on
our .sticker so that the public will
know who gave this beautiful sticker.
But' tho other bashful boy, who was
j ust a woe bit "bashfuller " said, "No,
lot's put 'pretend' names on our.stickor!" Apd. that's just what they did!
That is why tho Rod Cross sticker

Huskies Close Court Season with Victory
Fast, Steady Play
Brings Triumph

Honorable Mention Why Strength Tests?

Remetz and Mariaschin Are
Leading Scorers
Thoroughly out-classing their opponents in the last home game of
the season, Bloomsburg's Navy quintet added another win to its skein,
bringing the victory total to 10. In
playing one of their best games on
the Centennial Gymnasium floor, the
Huskies proved themselves to be
worthy of any praise due them for
the season's efforts. During the winter months they gave the crowd the
brand of ball it wanted—fast with
plenty of baskets.
Huskies Maintain Lead
Watching Ithaca move ffie Ball,
the early minutes of the game gave
expectation that they might prove
tigh t competition for the Maroon
and Gold outfit . Once the Husky forwards began getting away for fast
breaks and their passes started to
click, the outcome was evident . It
didn 't take the Huskies long to grab
the lead and maintain it throughout
the game.
Mike Remetz, playing his last home
game for B.S.T.C. before being transferred , scored 18 points the first half
which was the total scored by the
entire Ithaca team during that period.
Zurner's fine play under the basket,
Mariaschin 's passing on the fast
breaks, and a couple of lead-up plays
by Klinefelter sparked the play
during the first half of which found
the score 28-18—Ithaca trailing.

Climax of the basketball season
will be the National Invitation Tournament which is to be staged at
Madison Square Garden during the
week of March 17-25. All the teams
have been selected with travel limiting selections east of the Mississippi.
R. P. I. from upstate New York was

Devoting time and energy and
playing an important part in bringing an enviable record to the halls of
B.S.T.C. as far as basketball was
concerned this past season , special
credit goes to the boys who warmed
the bench and participated in the
preliminary games. Although they
were not in actual competition in
the main games, in their practice,
games every afternoon , they kept
the varsity on their toes playing hard .
Those games were ju st as hard fough t
if not more so than the Saturday
nigh t crowd attracters.
Coach Buchheit managed to get
a few preliminary games in which
these lads held their own. By the
time next season rolls around a few
of these lads shall give quite a battle
for a varsity position,.
Rounding out the basketball squad
are Austin Ackerman; Robert Baker,
who handled himself nicely in the
ball games he participated; Charles
Geiger; Al Kelly; Ned Roudabush ;
Vince Shedler ; Robert Smith ; Paul
Snyder; Robert Spegal ; Joseph Stulb;
and E. D. Wasilewski ,

Weather Man Stymies
Baseball Practice
Owing to the unpredictable weather which brings snow, rain, and
sunshine in one day, the Husky baseball team has been kept inactive.
Waiting anxiously for the last snow
to clear away and the ground to
thaw out . The boys didn 't contemplate Old Sol Plurious acting up as
he has been doing.
A few of the more ambitious lads
have been spending their afternoons
up at the gymnasium in the training
school, limbering up; getting their
throwing arms loosened. Practice has
not as yet been officially called by
"Doc" Nelson who by the way has
garnered a pretty good looking schedule thus far .
As soon as there is a sign of a
break in the weather we will probably
see some activity on the school diamond. With a likely number of good
prospects among the Navy V-12 students and a fine playing schedule.
B.S.T.C. should look forward to an
eventfu l baseball campaign this year.
Any fellows interested in trying
out for the team contact "Doc" Nelson if you have not already done so.
Don't be modest with your ability
if the other fellow can do it , so can
you .
BLOOMSBURG

A comparison was made between
physical fitness and success in flying
a mong 1,076 U. S. Naval flight students. One thousand completed the
intermediate stage of training and
76 failed at this stage for seasons
of poor flight performance.
Physical fitness was measured by
means of the "pack" or "step " tests,
and over-all athletic ability and
physical conditioning by means of a
series of tests and evaluations which
were collectively referred to as the
"complete" fitness test. In using the
ter m "physical fitness," the ability of
the human organism ' to perform external work is referred to. It is
nearly synonymous with muscular fitness and implies a state of health
over and above the mere absence of
significant bodily defects and disorders.
The necessity of achieving and
maintaining a high level of physical
fitness for the successful performance
of hard work or strenuous sports is
known to many persons by experience
and has been proved by actual measurement. There is a decided relationship between physical fitness and
various psychological factors such
judgme nt, ability to learn and to
think quickly, motivation, morale,
courage, and mental stability. Physical educators declare that such a
relationship exists to an important
degree, but offer little or nothing in
the way of scientific evidence as
proof . The same problem has interested psychologists and teachers. Attempts to study this relationship in
school children have led to inconclusive results . Up to this time, there
has never been a satisfactory demonstration of this relationship.
Physical fitnes tests are given to
the Navy men at B.S.T.C. twice
every trimester, and thus every man
is graded according to his physical
condition .

Tr ack ster s Prepare
For Active Season

Under the watchful eye of Coach
Buchheit , track participants are now
undergoing the early phases of getting
in shape for the cinder track . Wi th
the weather clearing up, the boys
should be getting outdoors for some
real workouts bringing the hurdles
with them.
The Burma and Lido Roads are
due for some hard times and it looks
as if it won't be long now. Fellows
still interested in track and a crack
