Pennsylvania high schools participated in the Sixteenth Annual Commercial Contest sponsored by the
Bloomsburg State Teachers College
Saturday, May 1st.
Festivities began Friday evening,
April 30th, when the Retail Selling
classes of the college presented a
Fashion Show in the Carver auditori um at 8 o'clock. The gala showing, under the direction *of Charles
H. Henrie , Retail Selling instructor,
featured the first central Pennsylvania showing of the "Wool Wedding
Party " which made fashion news at
the 1947 Fashion Fair held in New
York City. College women modelled
gowns furnished by Bloomsburg merchants in an attractive stage setting
design ed by Al Zimmerman, Hazleton.
Th e contests began at ten o'clock
Saturday morning in Navy Hall, under the direction of studen t committees headed by faculty members.
Tests were given in typewriting,
shorthand , business arithmetic, and
bookkeeping, and individual medals
were awarded for the winners in
each contest. A team plaque was
presented to the school which compiled the greatest number of points
in the contest.
While the contests were under
way, a special program was presented in the Navy Hall Auditorium at
10:50 o'clock. Dr. J. J. Lessenberry,
of the University of Pittsburgh, gave
a demonstration lesson and lecture
on the "Techniques of Teaching
Typewriting." Dr. Lessenberry, who
is widely known because of his many
textbooks and articles dealing with
the teaching of typewriting in colleges and secondary schools, was a
dynamic speaker and platform lecturer.
During the day, a number of publishing companies and textbook distributors displayed education materials, textbooks, and supplies in the
lobby of Waller Hall.

Men's Glee Club featured the regular
weekly assembly of the College , held

under the direction of Miss Harriet
M, Moore, presented four numbers
which were favorably received by the
audience.

Color and Dash in
Recent Style Show
All the color and smartness of a
metropolitan Fashion Fair glowed in
the brilliant Spri ng Fashion Show
spon sored by the Bloomsburg State
d ay evening , April first, at 8 o'clock
Teachers College and presented Friin the Carver Auditorium. Presented
by the Retail Selling classes, under
the direction of Charles H. Henrie,
the 1948 showing was the largest
ever held locally.
This year's show featured the first
Central Pennsylvania showinf of the
sensational wool wedding ensemble,
created by the International Wool
Secretariat and originally shown in
New York during the 1947 Fashion
Fair. The "Wool Wedding Party,"
designed and , created in order to
show the possibilities of using wool
as a fabric of beauty and utility, has
been exhibited only six times in the
United States and Canada since its
first presentation in New York late
last summer.
Another novel feature of the 1948
presentation was modeling of spring
and summer wear for children. Miss
Sally Wapl es, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. J. Russell Waples of Bloomsburg, and Miss Ann Reed, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. William Reed, also
of town, modelled clothes from the
Little Shop while serving as pages
to announce the stores from which
merchandise was shown.
A group of College women modelled the latest spring and summer
fashions, described by Miss Peggy
Suchy, Forest City, who is serving as
fashion coordinator for the second
straight year. The young ladies who
acted as models had undergone intensive training in order to prepare
them for this year's showing.
A beautiful stage setting for the
show was create'd by Al Zimmerman,
Hazleton. Mr. Zimmerman developed
a classic Greek theme for the affair.
Four large Grecian columns emphasized the motif before the canary yellow backdrop. Zimmerman also designed an elevated platform and
ramp.
D u r i n g t h e program Edward
Kleyps, Nanticoke, provided a musical background with special organ
melodies.

The wedded harmony of Nature and God
Fills me with respectf ul awe . . .
It fills my wond ering soul with mystery . . .
Why the glowing sunset . . . why the rising dawn ?
Oh , why the splendor of the moon . . .
The passion of growing green plants ?
Oh , why this feeling of longing
Inside my puny struggling body ?
Oh , why, Oh why . . . the torture of not knowing,
The secret of this life on earth ?
I wander o'er grassy hill and dale ,
Through valleys of breathless grandeur ,
Along the winding trail of laughing brook ,
Along the vast expanse of stretching horizon . . .
And still I find no ligh t to guide me.
Can it be that there is no key
To all this earthly treasure ?
Can it be there is no blinding flash of light,
To lead us from the path of darkness and despair?
I oft en wonder what is in the mind of Fate
When she casts me against the rocks of destiny.
Can it be that she is mindful of my plight?
My failings, my fears, my wearied, aching soul?
Is she seeking, probing, exploiting my worth
To live upon this lovely, yet cynical world ?
Or is she j ust heartless, a hag with cackling laughter,
That strives to tormen t the minds of mankind.?
I wonder . . . I wonder . . . I wonder.

Lessons f rom Numbers
They say there is safety in numbers.
The morning mail brought us a
collection of numbers which , paradoxically, teach safety by describing
danger. The numbers are the statistical story of U. S. street and highway accidents in 1947 contained in
a book of crash data which is produced each year.
Here are some of the numbers:
32 , 500 (tr affic deaths)
1,365,000 (tr affic inj uries )
10,940 (P edestrians killed)
9,410 (d eaths resulting from
excessive speed)

Fashion Flash es—

Women gasped and clutched their
children to them as four male models
appeared on the streets here wearing
some of the new creations in men 's
headgear.
Greatly resembling an emaciated
ant-eater was a fellow demonstrating
Kenneth Hopkin 's topper for street
wear. It was made of brown taffeta
(ye s, taffeta) with a stitched brim
and a pert pheasant feather.
Hopkins, who has been turning out
those breath - taking creations for
milady 's noggin , really went berserk
for the boys with his informal sports
hat. It is ( and we quote) "a crushed
beret of smoke felt with decor of
outsize scotch broom , and a visor. "
The scotch broom looks lilce a worn
out shaving brush.
Hopkins' hats were shown in a
preview which the trade hopes will
make men hat conscious. It seems
that ; too many men , to suit the hatmakers, are going hatless.
The summer straw shown is a
j ockey visor, blue grosgrain binding
and trim,
With difficulty, some of the spectators restrained laughs at the semiformal hat. It Is black beaver, gray
grosgrain binding, narrow brim , has
a circular doughnut crown and nn
eagle feather.

Maroon and Gold
Win Over Scranton

E. Stroudsburg Drubs
Husky Nine 9 - 1
East Stroudsburg dealt the Maroon
and Gold nine a 9-1 drubbing in a
game played here , Thursday, April
29. The Big Red took an early lead
and held it the rest of the way.
Jack Farrow , Mountaineer mound
ace, checked the Husky batsmen
with five scattered hits , including
two by Eddie Piestrak. Mario Berlanda , making his . first start of the
year for the Huskies after twice
drawing the assignment on rained
out games, lost control on two occasions, and this cost him some runs.
However, the Bloomsburg defense
suffered a relapse as well as the hitting output.
The lone Husky tally came in the
eighth when Piestrak walked, moved
up on a passed ball and scored on
Allegar's single.

who played with Danville, Va., in the Carolina League last summer, has
smashed out 12 hits in 23 appearances to the plate. He is also leading the
club in the important department of runs batted in with eight to his credit.
The quiet lad from Bendertown has also handled 34 of 35 fielding chances
for an excellent fielding percentage.
In the runner-up spot is Eddie Piestrak, Danville, who has totaled seven
hits in 19 official tries for a mark of .368. Not far behind him comes Ted

Sliippensburg seems to have lost its spice since the Huskies tamed the
Red Raiders, here, 9-8, for Indiana, which had previously been shellacked by
the Shippers, 16-2, came back with a; 5-4 win over the Cumberland Valley
lads. Shippensburg now has two wins and two losses in conference competition. The teachers college standings seem to be rather juggled , but both
West Chester and East Stroudsburg have won two and lost none. Other
teams with their records include: Shippensburg, 2-2; Millersville, 1-2;
Bloomsburg, 1-S; and Indiana , 1-2.
It is going to be interesting to see just how this state track meet is going to come out with eompeition being so keen! This promises to be one of
the closest meets in history. Before the war, it was usually a race between
two schools, and on nine of the ten occasion s over one span, the two schools
were Bloomsburg and West Chester. This year, there are at least four colleges who will be contenders with a possibility of others. West Chester, East
Stroudsburg, Shippensburg, and Lock Haven all appear to be very strong.
Bloomsburg and Cheney rate a chance of finishing high. These four schools
ranked near the top all have powerful squads with plenty of reserves.
Records have been set at Shippensburg and Lock Haven this spring, and it
will not be surprising to see some of the state re-cords fall by the boards
when the state meet is reeled off today at Shippensburg.
The scheduled dual meet at East Stroudsburg next Saturday between
the Huskies and the Big Red has been carded as a triangular meet with
Rider College being the third team involved , according to the "Stroud
Courier ". This will be the second such affair, which had been scheduled
previously as a dual meet. The Huskies also met Shippensburg and Millersville in a triangular clash at Shippensburg. Triangular meets are fine , but
It should be definite as to whether or not It is going to be that. Fans like to
know definitely what is going to be reeled oil', and when an "extra " is
involved they like to bo informed.
Last y ear 's Big Red track and field team was undefeated. From that
un beaten group, several veterans have returned to form a nucleus for this
y ear 's squad. They include Frank Adamavage and Pat MeCarty, outstanding
performers in the dashes and hurdle events. Coach Howard DeNike has
many other experienced men who are filling the bill. Stroudsburg finished
two positions behind Bloomsburg In the Penn Relays, but that is not an indication as to the Big Red's stren gth. The Big Red close the track season
with this triangular meet next Saturday. Three New Jersey schools, Panzer,
Montclair, an d Trenton , were on the card.
The Husk y nine lias played, but live of its seven scheduled games to data ,
including the ralned- out game of Wednesda y. From here on in, the diamond
crow of Coach Robert Redman Is Bolng to bo plenty busy. Presuming that
the rained out game of Wednesda y wa» play ed on Thursday, the Mansfield
clash still rem ains on the books. Tho Ma roon and Gold dlamondmen go to

"Up and over ," says Ed Skowronski, pole vaulter for the Huskies. This
shot shows Skowronski as he finished runner-up in this department to
Cheney 's Newell.

Brunn Pitches Huskies to Victory
Over Kings College in Lopsided Fracas
Henry Brunn , scattering eigh t hits
and having a margin on which to
work from the second inning on ,
hurled the Huskies to a 10-1 victory
over King's College in Wilkes-Barre
last Saturday .
The Huskies , tightening up their
defense and adding power to their
attack , wore in command all the
way. Brunn was wild at times, issuing six bases on balls, but he was
master of the situation in the pinches
and as a result a dozen King's boys
were stranded on the base paths.
Eddie Allegar and Ted Monsinger
each had three hits, with one of
Monsinger's being good for three
bases. That was the only extra base
blow of the ball game credited to
the Huskies.

Another track recor d h as . gone by
the boards. In a recent meet against
Illinois, Fortune Gordien of Minnesota b roke t h e old American college
record by tossing the discus 175 feet
% inches and added his name to the
list of those who are going all out
this season to establish an all-time
high in recording new marks in track
and field.
The number of new records being "
registered in the archives of track
and field serves to indicate the emphasis that is being placed on these
sports by the present day college
athletes. An added incentive to the
Hurculean accomplishments b e i n g
registered recently might possibly be
the fact that this is an Olympic year.
We don't believe our Huskies are
going to perform any magnificent
stunts that will lead to Olympic
berths for any of ihg members; but,
we do think that the spirit and ability they have shown in defeating
Scranton and Cheyney makes one
realize that Coach Wisher has a
squad well worth applauding.
The stature of the Husky track
team has increased immensely in.
State Teachers circles recently. This
is due not only to the rather surprising1 victory over Cheyney, but because of the feat churned in by
Scranton. in ' sweeping the Annual
Anthracite Games at Wilkes-Barre
last weekend. It was Scranton all
the way in this meet, winning- firsts
in all but three events and placing
second in nine others, as they tumbled King's College, Susquehanna II.,
Keystone College and Triple Cities
College of Endicott, N. Y. This is
just another sign that Bloomsburg
has a pretty fair outfit working for
Coach Pete Wisher.
Elmer Kreiser has definitely added
strength to the field department in
the discus throw and shot put while
Magill continues to stand out in the
mile run. Bob Conrad has been a
cons i stent runner and can be counted
on to obtain points for the squad in
the remaining meets.

staunchest opponent the Huskies will
face this season; but any awe the

The Johnson Story
by Donald L. Butcofsky
How would you like to arise at 5:00
a.m. on six mornings out of every
week, go on the air for nearly three
hours, and carry a full schedule of
classes in the bargain ? Well, Frank
Johnson has been doing that very
thing for quite some time now—that
and all the preliminary preparation
that goes with it.
Frank, a j unior in the secondary
curriculum at B.S.T.C., is WCNR's
"Milkman " who comes 'round your
way at 5:45 a.m., Monday through
Saturday, with good music and lots
of good humor..Up until recently he
was on with the Sunrise Serenade
program from 5:45 to 8:30 a.m., but
now, due to program changes, he bogins the day with Wake-up Time, an
hour and fifteen minutes of classical
and semi-classical music lasting until
7:00. The "01' Milkman" then switches over to the more familiar popular
music of Sunrise Serenade which
runs until 8:30. After signing off for
the morning, Frank heads up College
Hill to begin his classes for the day.
In addition to his morning programs, Frank does a lot of additional
radio work as time permits. At one
time or the other he , has done j ust
about all the scheduled programs at
WCNR. On Saturday afternoons he

routine announcing, scri pt writing
for other shows , and occasionally a
"remote ", which , Frank explains, is
a program done away from the stu .7
dio. Along with that he takes care
of the records and transcriptions for
his morning shows and operates the
controls for them as well, a combination of activities that calls for no
small amount of ambidexterity . At
the present time, Frank's radio work
totals up to thirty-four hours each
week. Add fifteen class hours to that
total and take into consideration all
the study and preparation (hat go
with them , and you can readily see
that Frank has little time to call his
own.

"Man ana ," "Four Leaf Clover," and
"Now is the Hour" are still'leading
the nickel parade.
Disc Dope
Charlie Vent ura 's latest waxings
are "Eleven Sixty " and "Soothe Me."
Eleven is an earworthy example of
the kind of punchy, fresh small band
j azz that Ventura and his cohorts
were playing all through 1947, and
follows the same pattern that has
become standard with them on originals. "Soothe" is a drab tune to start
with and Buddy Stewart seems to
feel that way, too. Good tenor chorus
though.
"The . Man with the Horn , " and
"Just Naive," by Jimmy Zito. It's
easy to tell from the likes of Horn
why Les Brown made Zito one of the
highest paid sidemen in the business.
He has one of the prettiest tones on
a brass instrument of any horn
astudio or afoot. Horn is not j azz,
but a melodic original, co-authored
by Delange and the late Jack Jenney,
and Jimmy 's fat , lucid ton e mak es it
something worth hearing. Naive is
another side combining the abilities
of Z, and Helen O'Connell who
sounds as good as she ever did,
though the tune is trite.
Drummer man Gene Krupa has
just released "You Turned the Tables
on M e," and "Teach Me Baby, Teach
Me." Dolores Hawkins, gets both
these sides and isn't too impressive
on either. Tables after the vocal
sports a fine tenor solo and the
powerful backing that Dolores gets
should soon inspire her to better
perform ances. "Teach Me" is a hacker and even Gene 's outfit couldn't do
much to or for it.

victi ms.
One of our most popular campus
cou ples , Midge Fuller of Berwick and
Herb Sowers of Williamsport , recently became engaged. Bofh are finishing their Junior years here this semester.
Another well known couple, Arlene
Garlan d of Bethlehem and Luther
Butt of Hazleton, also became engaged.
Don 't mention this to anyone, but
bets are being placed as to when
lovely Lois Lange wi[l receive a diamond from a certain fellow at Lehigh . My guess is June.
Speaking of June, Jean Richard
and Mary Severn will make lovely
June brides. Jean and her future
husband , John Zagoudis, will honeymoon In the Poconos, and expect to
live ,in Ohio where Jean will continue
her speech correction work. John
wa s a V-12 here and is now employed
by the Firestone Co. Mary will become the bride" of Francis Brennan
of Northwestern University.
Skipping blithely from orange to
peach blossoms—have you seen the
beautiful peach tree at the home of
Prof, and Mrs. Reams ? The blos<
soms are unique in that they come in
three delicious flavors—I mean colors—red , white , and pink. Really a
pretty picture.
Another pretty picture was the
stage setting for the Fashion Show
last Friday. The' whole affair was

the audience.
With May Day approaching all too
swiftly , Miss McCammon's gym classes are working like mad to fathom
the ins and outs of Maypole winding.
From what I have seen , the girls will
be "tied up" all afternoon—in more
ways than one.
Seniors are anxiously awaiting
their bi g event of the season. The
Ball will be held in Wilkes-Barre at
Hotel Sterling.
The College Council is holding an
outing next Monday at the cottage
of Beverly Cole located above Benton.
The Women's Chorus made a fine
showing this year, as usual—in assembly and on the air. Miss Moore
has done a marvelous job with both
the Men's Gig© Club and the Women 's Chorus. The men gave their
performance several weeks ago and
received much favorable comment on
it.
Just out of curiosity—what would
you do to a person or persons who,
with malicious forethought, hid three
alarm clocks in your bedroom, set for
2:15 A.M., 3:00 A.M. and 4:00 A.M.
respectively ? I am open to any and
all suggestions.
With that happy thought, we shall
conclude this, another series of
"K ay 's folli es," or, as it has been so
aptly dubbed , "The most widely unread column in America."
See you at the Prom.

News Roundup
World War II veterans are training in hundreds of different occupational fields under the G-I Bill.
One out of five is preparing for a
career in business administration and
other general business fields.
A similar number are training for
engineering and mechanical occupations.
Nearly one-tenth of all trainees are
following agricultural pursuits.
The occupational fields are listed in
ua Veterans Administration study of
^
the principal training courses of
2,000,000 veterans studying in schools"
and colleges and 546,000 training onthe^j ob on November 30, 1947. The
survey was released today.
Business administration and other
business courses rate first among the
veterans attending schools and colleges, with more than 311,000 studying in these fields. Engineering ranks
second with 252,000 students. Agricult u re, wit h 223,000, is third choice.
The 85,000 preparing for teaching
careers place education fourth.
Of the veteran-students enrolled
in colleges and universities when the
survey was made, 287,000 in liberal
arts courses had not reported their
maj or courses of study.
Among the veterans taking j ob
training, almost 94,000 are training
to be mechanics and repairmen.
About 77,000 are taking training in
business courses, with another 69,000
enrolled for managerial training
(other than business and farm) .
About 44,000 are training as metal
workers. Close to 41,000 are in electrical courses.
Veterans Administration today relieved its training officers of all responsibility for the direct supervision
of World War II veterans in training
under the G-I Bill.
The change permit VA's training
officers to devote more time to the
needs of disabled veterans in training
under the Vocational Rehabilitation
Act (Public Law 16). The law gives
VA full responsibility for the training
of these veterans.
In suspending supervision of G-I
Bill trainees by direct contact , VA
called on all state approva l agencies,
schools and training establishments
to meet fully their obligations under
the Servicemen 's Readj ustment Act
( G-I Bill).
VA will look, to an increased extent , to state approving agencies to
carry out their obligations to approve
only schools and establishments that
are fully qualified and equipped to
give good courses of instruction and
are otherwise satisfactory on the
basis of current inspections.
Schools and j ob establishments are
obligated to furnish effective education and training to each veteran
they enroll , VA said. The institutions
must not keep a veteran in training
any longer than his conduct and progress warrant. They must provide
VA with reports of the veterans '
attendance and progress.

VA will use these reports, along
wj th spot checks of veterans in G-I
Bill programs , to safeguard the veterans ' rights to adequate training
and to prevent possible fraud against
the government.
The new supervision policy varies
among the different types of training
institutions.
No change was made among colleges and universities which already
have the responsibility to supervise
all veteran-students they enroll.
VA will use periodic conduct and
progress reports and spot checks to
supervise ex-servicemen and women
in other schools and in j ob training
establishments.
Spot checks will be used in supervising veterans taking insti tutional
on-f arm training.
