without an error.
Following the business meeting, B.
Robert Bird, a former Bloomsburg
State Teachers College student and a
veteran of Berwick, gave an interesting talk on USAFI, the Army's offduty school for soldiers desirious of
receiving further education prior to
becoming civilians. Classes similar
to those given in college were held
evenings from six to nine and at the
successful completion of the work , a
certificate was given and credits
could be transferred to any college.
Mr. Bird stated that the scholastic
standing of the students taking these
courses was exceptionally high , since
only those especially interested , participated. The instruction served not
only as college preparatory work, but
also as refresher courses for those
who had received similar training
before the war and wished to re-enter their particular fields.

THE HATCHET SWIM
Semi-Formal Dan ce to be Held
on Saturday Evening ,
February 23

What the Laboratory School Is Doing" Now
First Grade Dramatizes "Cinderella "

A semi-formal dance will be h eld
on Satur day evening, February 23,
from 8:30 to 12:00. The dance, dubbed '-The Hatchet Swing," is being
held in honor of George Washington 's
birthday. This dance will give the
co-eds an opportunity to show off
their pret tiest gowns and the fellows
can prove to B. S. T. C. that they can
also be smooth on the dance floor.
Students and their guests will dance
to the music of Otto Muecci's Orchestra from Wilkes-Barre. T h e
dance, sponsored by the Social Committee, "will he hsld in tile Centennial
Gymnasium. This dance will be the
first big social gathering held since
the beginning of the new semester.
The tickets are now on sale at the
canteen; the price is a dollar and a > •
half ($1.50) per couple. Outside
guests or guest couples are very welcome to a tten d the dance, but the
necessary guest cards must be ob- .
tained from the Dean of Women 's office. The Dance Committee, with Alberta Naunas as Chairman , have
planned a grand evening for everyone. The gym will be bedecked with
original decorations , appropria te for
"The Hatchet Swing."
Dances of this type held in the
gymnasi um have always been very
successful because they add a great
deal to the social life of the College
Community and everyone seems to
enjoy dancing in a pleasant atmosphere.

The children of the First Grade are rapidly becoming capable of reading
interesting books with splendid expression in lheir voices. Not only do the
children read their stories well, but they are given every opportunity to
dramatize their stories. Just recently the children had the opportunity of
dramatizing "Cinderella." The characters were carefully choson according
to ability for the several parts. Everyone, from the hot-tempered old stepmother to the high-voiced young prince, made each characteri zation a real
thing. The children who took the parts of the horses and coachmen wore
signs around their necks to give their identity.
All the children who did not have speaking parts were used in the ballroom scene.
The humor of the drama (to the teachers, anyway) was found in the
young prince 's high declaration of Cinderella 's beauty in the state of transforma tion from rags to silks.

Getting Ready For Winter

The Special Class is working on a unit called "Getting Ready For Winter." In one corner of the room the children have made a forest with model
animals. They have a small live turtle in a "pond" who is in the process of
hibernation. All the model animals are hibernating too. Some of them are
down in the leaves, the bear is in a cave made of clay while the beaver is
just entering his house of sticks. The children have written original stox'ies
about the animals. Their hand-work time been spent making the forest and
the animals. Most of their school work is tied in with this "Getting Ready
For Winter" theme.

HISTORY IN THE PROD UCTION

History is a subject which lends
itself to many activities. The fifth
grade p upils are taking advantage of
this situation and have produced and
directed their own plays portraying
scenes from the lives of Sir Francis
Drake , Sir Walter Raleigh, and John
Cabot.
Through the reading of much reference material they have gained
considerable information , and with
their own initiative and ability the
pupils have produced results of
which they may be proud.

UNIVERSITIES RISE AGAIN
"The University of the Philippines
is in ashes," writes Dr. Maximo M.
Kalow, a leading educator and statesman in the Philippines. This great
and beautiful university in Manila
had more than 7500 students and 714
professors before the war. Santo
Toinas, the oldest university under
tho American flag, was . one of the +
other thirty-six institutions of col- *
leginte rank in the Philippines. Great
damage was done to most of these institutions. . Many volumes nnd 00 per
cent of laboratory equipment of the
colleges nnd universities wore deKtrovnd.

. •

The University of the Philippines
reopened this fall in temporary quarters. Joe Mixer, California '43,.home
from war duty in the Pacific , has
written: "I just returned from the

As promised in last week 's issue, we herewith present the second in the
i series on the stories behind, the Service Pins of the veterans who are now
\ students at-B. S. T. C. Although the official name of these little gold lapel
: buttons seems to be "Discharge Emblem," we prefer to think of them , and
t o call them, "Service Pins" because we feel that each pin stands for its own
story of Service rather than the mere fact that its wearer was discharged.
For example, the pin worn by Andrew "Andy " Ardos from Coaldale,
who is now a freshman in the Business Education Course, has behind it the
story of two and a half years in the Army as a grenadier, cook , andi rifleman with the 10th Mountain Division , and nine months overseas in the Po
Valley and the North Appenines. Andy entered the service in June of 1943,
and was discharged on December 6, 1945 , as a Pfc. with the Bronze Star,
the Purple Heart, with Cluster, Infantryman 's Badge, American Theater
Ribbon, Good Conduct Medal and the Victory Medal. He is interested in
music and has played in a dance orchestra and has bean- in his high school
chorus. He is single, and he says the girls at B. S. T. C. are very friendly.
His hobby, however, is stamp collecting.

Second Half to Drop
Tilt to Lock Haven

The College Huskies gained a 19 to
18 lead in the first half at Lock Haven , but went out.of gear in the second half to lose the decision, 43 to 31.
The Lock Haven club was entirely
different from the team that played
here in the first semester and which
the Huskies easily defeated.
Big Jim Coront, six feet, six inch
center , was the big gun for Lock Haven , racking up seven field goals and
four fouls for 18 points. John Hmelnicky and Jay Scarcella were the
point getters for the Huskies snatching 12 and 11 points respectively.

ever-increasing spirit of competition
among the various teams.
Two games were played February
7. A comparatively low score characterized the first game in which
floor work and passing were a dominant feature. Building up in the first
half a substantial lead, which t hey
were able to keep to the finish of the
ga m e, a team of Sophomores easily
defeated their opponents.

The second game started at a rapid

until close to the half when the
Young Noble Foxes got well out in
front. The second half saw a slowing down to steady, careful playing
by both teams. It was only the Foxes, however, who could find the bas'

School Children
to Pick the "Best
Teacher of 1946"
What makes a good teacher click?
Nobody knows better than his or
her own pupils , and they 're having a
chance to "tell all" in a national contest sponsored by the Quiz Kids to
find the "Best Teacher of 1946."
School kids by the thousands are
writing letters on "The Teacher Who
Has Helped Me Most." These letters
are being* read by the judges, Dr.
Ralph W. Tyler, chairman of the department of education at the University of Chicago; Dr. Paul W. Witty,
professor of educa tion at Northwestern University , and the Rev. Dr.
Phillip S. Moore, Dean of the Graduate School of Notre Dame University.
The judges will select the winning
teacher from these letters (after a
personal investigation) and he or she
will receive from the Quiz Kids a
year 's paid schooling at any college
or university in the Chicago area ,
tuition fees, living expenses, transpor tation , PLUS $1,000 in cash. The
child writing the best letter which
recommends the winning teacher gets
$100 in cash. Ten dollars each will
go for the next 100 best letters.
So revealing are the letters that
the children are writing that the
judges will use the letters in the
training of teachers in schools of education .
Each letter is filled with intense
devotion. Each child believes his
teacher is best, and here are a few
reasons why :
. . . "she treats us all like we were
her real, good friends. "
. . . "she makes us feel important,
and as if we knew something. "
. . . "she always has a story to tell
about every thing we study. "
. . . "she is really the PIN-UP of
all teachers , because she fills my
brain with knowledge, and with a
pleasan t feeling of confidence that
I' m going to pass."
. . . "she explains and explains
even if it takes her 30 minutes. "
. . . "she is always happy and ready
to la ugh at any good joke. "
. . . "he understands even when I
get into trouble . . . and he always
helps me out. "
App reciation of a teacher starts
earl y. Many letters are coming from
six and seven year olds who claim
their teacher is "the best in the
whole wide world." Printed in large
letters on stationary decorated with
colorful cats and dogs is this one:
"I am six years old. I am in the
firs t grade. I like my teacher. She
is pretty. She never gifts mad. She
helps me with my reading, Shfi
makes us mind but she is kind.
Love and XXXXX. "
Teachers urc writing that the contest is putting thorn on the spot.
"Each teacher in our school has her
best foot forwnrd , " writes a Chicago

"This school is the sixth school I've
gone to. I didn't know anybody when
I came. My teacher said she didn't
either. She said we should be good
sports. She laughs and laughs. She
showed me how to read about things
I like. I want my teacher to.win the
prize."
Dr. Witty is amazed at the apprec- 1iation expressed by the children for
the help teachers have given them
af t er school , a t noon , or on Saturdays.
Wrote a ten-year-old:
"My teacher is a kind and conserate person. She helps you after
school even when she wants to go
home herself. She has a lot of paysunch with slow learning pupils."
One little girl doesn't want her
teacher to win the scholarship as it
would take her away from school
next year. Another one begged the
judg es to choose her teacher to get
the $1,000 because "my teacher wants
a fur coat."
Only one letter so far is discouraging. It is from an eight-year-old
who wrote: "I heard your offer. But
I am sorry I can't think of nothing
no tea cher has ever did for me."
The "Best Teacher of 1946" is slated for national publicity. She (or
he) will appear on the Quiz Kids
program. National magazines already are requesting stories about
the winner and three want the winner to write his own story.

the Japanese censor may open it." A
week later he received a note from
the Japanese post office saying: "The
statement in your letter is not correct. We do not open letters."

The sofa sagged in the center,
The shades were pulled just so;
The family had retired,
The parlor lights were low.
There came a sound from the sofa,
As the clock was striking two;
And the student closed his text-book,
With a thankful, "Well, I'm thru!"

stick a geranium in your 'at and be

fourth-grade teacher. "We arc eyeing all pupils as prospective writers.
This should do something for the.
teaching morale!"
Although the contest is open to all
children from the first grade through
high school, the majori ty of letters
are coming from children between
the ages of nine and twelve, as was
predicted by Dr. Tyler.
The tragedy of the war is reflected
in many letters. The children tell of
moving from school to school, the
loneliness felt as a "new pupil" and
the understanding help given by '
teachers.
