Against a backdrop of gaily-festooned Maypoles and a brilliant blue
sky, the annual B.S.T.C. May Day
was held yesterday on College Hill
with an audience of approximately a
thousand filling the bleachers and
lining the edge of the green.
The festivities, originally scheduled
for Wednesday, a week ago, but postponed four times by heavy showers,
were held yesterday under cloudless
skies. Except for chilly breezes which
whipped the scanty costumes of some
of the merrymakers, conditions were
ideal.
Mrs. Anne Baldy Boyer, College senior, of Catawissa, was a charming
queen as she led her court and . the troop of entertainer's from the grove
near Science Hall to the throne placed on the terrace at the rear of
Waller Hall. Dressed in a white
gown, she carried a colorful arm
bouquet of flowers.
.
Her attendants, gowned in 'pastel
shades and carrying arm bouquets,
were Miss Mary Moser, Ringtown ; „
Estelle Friday, Phoenixville; Fern
\ Shellenberger, Bloomsburg ; Mildred.
Palumbo, Mt. Carmel; B a r b a r a
i Greenly, Bloomsburg; Rose Marie
§ Kraiser, Horsham ; Charlotte Reich| ard, Light Street , and Matilda Patf rick, Dupont.
= The CJueen was crpwned by Harry
I Reitz, Shamokin, president of the
|Community Government Association,
{ who placed a crown of flowers on her
I head. From her throne, the May
Queen reviewed the procession of
several hundred Benj amin Franklin
School pupils and College students,
who provided an interesting and entertaining program.

Based on Greek Olympics
Because the Olympics have been
resumed this year, the College May
Day was planned to simulate the
ancient Greek celebration. The Olympic games were originally featured in
a Dutch Dance.
Boys of the second grade had th,eir
innings as they performed in Western
styl e, with gun on hip, the country
square dance of this country with
their feminine partners. Miss Iva
Van Scoyce directed this group. The
dancing was concluded with an entertaining hula , in grass-skirted costumes, by pupils of the thfrd grade
under the direction of Mrs. Lorraine
Jones.
Between the dances, boys of the
sixth grade participated in throwing
events, relays, jumping events, hurdles and boxing matches. As the dancers formed for the traditional Maypole winding, a college quartet , composed of Marion Lake , Carbondale;
Ralph Wire, Harrisburg; Joan Richards,- Bloomsburg, and Joe Curilla ,
Shamokin, sang "Sylvia " and "Spring
Song."

Safety Ed Training
To Be Offered Here
Under the leadership , of the Sta t e
Department of Public Instruction , a
program of training for teachers in
safety education has been set up in a
few teacher - education institutions,
and the Bloomsburg State Teachers
College will cooperate in making this
training available to its students
during the regular Summer Session ,
beginning June twenty-eighth. The
program is available to those desiring
to . become qualified to teach safety
education at either the secondary or
elementary school level.
Arrangements have been completed
to offer a course in "Driver Education and Training " which will carry
three semester hours of credits , and
if there is a demand , an additional
three semester hours of work will be '
offered in safety education leading to
permanent certification in that field.
Temporary certification may be earned by taking three semester hours of
credit instead of six.
Dr. Thomas P. North , dean of instruction at the College, stated recently that the courses are designed
to meet fully the needs of those seeking to equip themselves to teach
safety education and train secondary
students as automobile drivers; The
Department of Public Instruction
also indicated that the course can be
used to make a teaching certificate
permanent and can be taken as an
elective course in social studies.
Mr. Robert B, Redman has been
named to handle the work in safety
education at Bloomsburg. Mr. Redman has. had much preparation for
this work and attended the recent
special training program conducted
at Harrisburg for instructors in ,
courses in safe ty education . It is the
hope of the College that a number
of classroom teachers from Central
Pennsylvania will wan t to prepare
themselves to handle the work in
safety education in their respective
schools before the September term
begins.

Approximately 100,000 World War
II veterans who suffered speech impairments in service may be eligible
for special restorative training established by Veterans Administration to
help them overcome their handicap.
This training is available under the
Vocational Rehabilitation Act (Public Law 16) for disabled veterans,
when :
(1) The speech impairment interferes with the satisfactory employment of the veteran or the successful
completion of his vocational training.
(2) Th e physical and mental condition of the veteran is such that
speech correction training may be
pursued satisfactorily .
(3) There is good promise that
specialized training will overcome or
reduce significantly the veteran's
handicap.
In some cases there may be the
possibility ' that speech impairments
can be improved by medical or surgical treatment, VA said. These services will be offered eligible veterans
before they are entered in the special
speech correction programs.
The type and amount of special
training will vary with the needs of
each eligible veteran.
Generally the training will be off ered in speech clinics of colleges,
universities, medical centers, hospitals and public schools; speech clinics
operated as adj uncts to guidance or
mental hygiene clinics ; private speech
correction clinics and in curativ e
workshops.
The training centers selected by
VA must be qualified and equipped to
furnish the specialized training needed by the veteran.
The center must have on its staff
competent speech pathologists and
correctionists who meet the standards set by the American Speech
Association. The physical facilities,
equipment and materials of the center must be adequate to furnish effective training. Medical services for
necessary diagnostic purposes must
be available.

Against a backdrop of gaily-festooned Maypoles and a brilliant blue
sky, the annual B.S.T.C. May Day
was held yesterday on College Hill
with an audience of approximately a
thousand filling the bleachers and
lining the edge of the green.
The festivities, originally scheduled
for Wednesday, a week ago, but postponed four times by heavy showers,
were held yesterday under cloudless
skies. Except for chilly breezes which
whipped the scanty costumes of some
of the merrymakers, conditions were
ideal.
Mrs. Anne Baldy Boyer, College senior, of Catawissa, was a charming
queen as she led her court and . the troop of entertainer's from the grove
near Science Hall to the throne placed on the terrace at the rear of
Waller Hall. Dressed in a white
gown, she carried a colorful arm
bouquet of flowers.
.
Her attendants, gowned in 'pastel
shades and carrying arm bouquets,
were Miss Mary Moser, Ringtown ; „
Estelle Friday, Phoenixville; Fern
\ Shellenberger, Bloomsburg ; Mildred.
Palumbo, Mt. Carmel; B a r b a r a
i Greenly, Bloomsburg; Rose Marie
§ Kraiser, Horsham ; Charlotte Reich| ard, Light Street , and Matilda Patf rick, Dupont.
= The CJueen was crpwned by Harry
I Reitz, Shamokin, president of the
|Community Government Association,
{ who placed a crown of flowers on her
I head. From her throne, the May
Queen reviewed the procession of
several hundred Benj amin Franklin
School pupils and College students,
who provided an interesting and entertaining program.

Based on Greek Olympics
Because the Olympics have been
resumed this year, the College May
Day was planned to simulate the
ancient Greek celebration. The Olympic games were originally featured in
a Dutch Dance.
Boys of the second grade had th,eir
innings as they performed in Western
styl e, with gun on hip, the country
square dance of this country with
their feminine partners. Miss Iva
Van Scoyce directed this group. The
dancing was concluded with an entertaining hula , in grass-skirted costumes, by pupils of the thfrd grade
under the direction of Mrs. Lorraine
Jones.
Between the dances, boys of the
sixth grade participated in throwing
events, relays, jumping events, hurdles and boxing matches. As the dancers formed for the traditional Maypole winding, a college quartet , composed of Marion Lake , Carbondale;
Ralph Wire, Harrisburg; Joan Richards,- Bloomsburg, and Joe Curilla ,
Shamokin, sang "Sylvia " and "Spring

Safety Ed Training
To Be Offered Here
Under the leadership , of the Sta t e
Department of Public Instruction , a
program of training for teachers in
safety education has been set up in a
few teacher - education institutions,
and the Bloomsburg State Teachers
College will cooperate in making this
training available to its students
during the regular Summer Session ,
beginning June twenty-eighth. The
program is available to those desiring
to . become qualified to teach safety
education at either the secondary or
elementary school level.
Arrangements have been completed
to offer a course in "Driver Education and Training " which will carry
three semester hours of credits , and
if there is a demand , an additional
three semester hours of work will be '
offered in safety education leading to
permanent certification in that field.
Temporary certification may be earned by taking three semester hours of
credit instead of six.
Dr. Thomas P. North , dean of instruction at the College, stated recently that the courses are designed
to meet fully the needs of those seeking to equip themselves to teach
safety education and train secondary
students as automobile drivers; The
Department of Public Instruction
also indicated that the course can be
used to make a teaching certificate
permanent and can be taken as an
elective course in social studies.
Mr. Robert B, Redman has been
named to handle the work in safety
education at Bloomsburg. Mr. Redman has. had much preparation for
this work and attended the recent
special training program conducted
at Harrisburg for instructors in ,
courses in safe ty education . It is the
hope of the College that a number
of classroom teachers from Central
Pennsylvania will wan t to prepare
themselves to handle the work in
safety education in their respective
schools before the September term
begins.

Approximately 100,000 World War
II veterans who suffered speech impairments in service may be eligible
for special restorative training established by Veterans Administration to
help them overcome their handicap.
This training is available under the
Vocational Rehabilitation Act (Public Law 16) for disabled veterans,
when :
(1) The speech impairment interferes with the satisfactory employment of the veteran or the successful
completion of his vocational training.
(2) Th e physical and mental condition of the veteran is such that
speech correction training may be
pursued satisfactorily .
(3) There is good promise that
specialized training will overcome or
reduce significantly the veteran's
handicap.
In some cases there may be the
possibility ' that speech impairments
can be improved by medical or surgical treatment, VA said. These services will be offered eligible veterans
before they are entered in the special
speech correction programs.
The type and amount of special
training will vary with the needs of
each eligible veteran.
Generally the training will be off ered in speech clinics of colleges,
universities, medical centers, hospitals and public schools; speech clinics
operated as adj uncts to guidance or
mental hygiene clinics ; private speech
correction clinics and in curativ e
workshops.
The training centers selected by
VA must be qualified and equipped to
furnish the specialized training needed by the veteran.
The center must have on its staff
competent speech pathologists and
correctionists who meet the standards set by the American Speech
Association. The physical facilities,
equipment and materials of the center must be adequate to furnish effective training. Medical services for
necessary diagnostic purposes must
be available.
