Jimmy Kleman Named It May Be Spring, But ? ? ? ?
"Joe College" of BSTC
At Annual Junior Prom
Amid a throng of hundreds of people, Jim KIcman , a senior , from Ashland , was named Joe College at the
ann ual Junior Prom held on Friday
night , April 21, in Centennial Gymnasium. Nancy Unger , B.S.T.C.'s Coed of the Year, made the presentation
during inter mission.
As bearer of the Joe College title,
Kleman represents the typical college
"Joe " and signifies the maj ority 's expectations of an ideal college student.
He was chosen from among eight of
B.S.T.C.'s outstanding masculine personalities who were nominated a few
weeks ago by a committee composed
of two coeds from each of the freshman, sophomore , junior , and senior
classes. On April 20, ballots bearing
the candidates names were submitted
Yes indeed , spring is here — we hope ; but thi s picture of our "Friendly

1950 Obiter Show Features Obiter
Band and Return of Andy Mack Trio
Obiter Editor Reports
1950's College Yearbook
A Complete Sell-Out
The annual Obiter Show, given in
Assembly on Tuesday, April 25th,
was enthusiastically received by the
student body as being one of the finest pieces of student entertainment
staged this year in chapel. The quick
sale of the final Obiter reserve forms
proved the success of the undertaking.
Joe Cu rilla , director-producer of
the show and editor-in-chief of the
'50 Obiter, is credited with turning
in a beau tiful piece of work for both.
The setting for the opening number
of the show was a boy 's dorm room
in Waller Hall the night before an
exam. Authenticity was given the
skit by the able portrayals rendered
by Alex Kubik, Fr ank Fu rgele , Claude
Renninger, Frank De an , Buck Byham , Phil Search and Ben Burness.
Following the skit, the Andy Mack
Trio took its place behind the footlights. As their first number, Norman Kline and Max Kaplan , accompanied by Andy Maceiko and his accordian , sang a medley of patriotic
tunes by Cohan. Andy then soloed on
his sparkling, now accordian and
gave out with hi sown version of "St.
Louis Blues." After which, for a
change in tempo, he played the "Coronet Polka." Kline and Kaplan then
returned and the trio delighted the
audience with such catchy numbers
as "Terry " (an original), "Just Because," "We're Big Boys Now," and
"Judaline. " A pleasant surprise greeted tho audience as the curtain opencontinued on page 2)

1950 Obiter Plans
"Yearbook Clinic"
To Be Held Mere Soon
According to a memorandum issued
recently by Mr. Edward T. Devoe,
Obiter adviser, the selection of the
editor of the 1951 yearbook will be
made in the near future. According
to the plan outlined in the memorandum, persons interested in being on
the staff of the 1951 Obiter should
submit their names to Joe Curilla,
stating the type of work they wish
to do. The selection of the 1951
editor will then be made from the
names submitted.
It was announced also by Curill a
that the 1950 Obiter is planning a
"yearbook clinic, " which will be held
sometime in the next two or three
weeks if a sufficient number of persons are interested. The clinic will be
conducted by a staff member of the
Campus Publishing Company, which
is the Philadelphia division of a large
corporation specializing in school and
college publications.
Curilla, wh o i s edi to r of th e 1950
Obiter, pointed out that the clinic
will be of int ere st t o both present and
prospective Obiter staff members. He
also stated that persons who will be
certified in English would find the
clinic helpful in building up a background for high school yearbook adviserships. Those interested in attending the clinic are asked to submit
their names to Curilla. The clinic
will be held on this campus.
Phi Sigma Pi Elects
New Officers at Annual
Founder's Day Banqu et
The annual Founders' Day banquet
of Phi Sigm a Pi, Iota Chapter, was
held on Thursday evening, Apr il 20,
at Dutch Hill. A delicious dinner of
chicken and waffles was served to
the group of thirty who attended. t
Guest speaker of the evening was
Mr. John B. Kennedy, Superintendent
of the Kingston Schools. Following
the dinner, Mr. Kennedy spoke on the
subje ct , "Waste in Education." In his
remarks, tho speaker pointed out a
number of ways in which education
fails to be thrifty in its processes.
Starting a student before he is ready
to begin school, and then failing him
because he cannot make the grade, is
one example of a form of this waste.
Perhaps the student is not capable
of entering school before he is eight
years old. If such is the case, the
better plan is to let him wait. But ,
when a student does enter school, the
teacher must take a personal interest
in his charge, and each successive
teacher must take a personal interest

Much attention has been paid concerning the closing letters by our correspondents. Frequently is wr itten

campus English profs might call abstractions since they say or mean
nothing.
A closing such as Always, Jane, is
a foolish statement. To begin* with , if
it wasn't always Jane, who else would
it be. If the correspondent planned to
change her name, she should have
written the information in the context of the letter , and if she did not
hint that she . wouldn 't always be
Jane, the closing Always Jane is useless, trite, distacteful and unromantic.
Take a statement such as Yours

It relates that: everything in the
letter is the Gospel truth , but yet
unless you are writing to an enemy,
(which we infrequently do) there is
little cause to attach Yours truly at
the ending. A true friend would believe every penned word anyway.
Writing the word "love" at the
ending is not suitable either. The
word no longer means what it formerly meant because of its overuse.

Byham Fans 15 Batters as
Teammates Collect 6 Hits
To Register Season's 4th Win
Bill Byham pitched four-hit ball
and fanned fifteen Mansfield batters,
Saturday afternoon, while the College was winning its eighteenth
straight game, 4-3, on Mt. Olympus.
The big left-hander had to be that
good too. His mates ran into a
drought of basehits, and some slovenly fiel ding, some of it by Byham,
combined to make things tough for
the Kane sophomore.
Playing their first game of the
s e a s o n , the Mountaineers proved
great competitors. Lefty Joe Cheplick settled down after 'a shaky first
two innings and gave up 'a total of
only six hits. His control was a little
edgy, with eight walks going into the
records, but he stopped the 'Huskies
with men on base.
The first two runs for Bloomsburg
in the first inning were in the nature
of a gift. Walks to Ted Mensinger
and Dick Hummel were sandwiched
around a sacrifice bunt by Ed Piestrak. Don Butler flied out to deep
right, before Mike Evans raised one
into the same territory , for what
should have been the third out.
Rightfielder Len Kobeski fell down
under the chance, however, and Mensinger and Hummel scooted home.
The Huskies got another big chance
in the second inning but the chance
melted away after only two more
runs had been scored. Jim Thompson
and Stan LeVan both strolled before
Byham rolled a single between third
and short to plate Thompson. Mensinger walked to load the bases with
no one out.
In this situation, Piestrak fled to
right, Hummel popped to short and
Butler grounded to second. The
fourth run came across on Piestrak's
out.
That was all of the Husky scoring
for the ball game.
Mansfield picked up its first run in
the third inning. Ed Drabinski walked and took second on a passed ball.
Cheplick and George both fanned, but
Kobeski came through with a liner . to
center that scored Drabinski.
The gift runs for the Mountaineers
came in the fourth and fift h innings.
In the fourth , Piestrak bobbled an
easy roller that permitted Tomassoni
to score. In the fifth , Byham made a
nice pick-up of a ground ball through
the box, and then , with plenty of
time for the play, threw the ball ten
feet over Piestrak's head at first.
That permitted Kobeski to score.
That was all for Mansfield which
went down in order in the sixth, seventh and ninth , an d got on e runner
as far as second in the eighth.
The Huskies have two games this
week, going to Millersville, Wednesday, and playing host to Shippensburg on Mt. Olympus, Friday. Saturday 's win was the fourth without
defeat this season.

"Joe College" of BSTC
At Annual Junior Prom
Amid a throng of hundreds of people, Jim KIcman , a senior , from Ashland , was named Joe College at the
ann ual Junior Prom held on Friday
night , April 21, in Centennial Gymnasium. Nancy Unger , B.S.T.C.'s Coed of the Year, made the presentation
during inter mission.
As bearer of the Joe College title,
Kleman represents the typical college
"Joe " and signifies the maj ority 's expectations of an ideal college student.
He was chosen from among eight of
B.S.T.C.'s outstanding masculine personalities who were nominated a few
weeks ago by a committee composed
of two coeds from each of the freshman, sophomore , junior , and senior
classes. On April 20, ballots bearing
the candidates names were submitted

1950 Obiter Show Features Obiter
Band and Return of Andy Mack Trio
Obiter Editor Reports
1950's College Yearbook
A Complete Sell-Out
The annual Obiter Show, given in
Assembly on Tuesday, April 25th,
was enthusiastically received by the
student body as being one of the finest pieces of student entertainment
staged this year in chapel. The quick
sale of the final Obiter reserve forms
proved the success of the undertaking.
Joe Cu rilla , director-producer of
the show and editor-in-chief of the
'50 Obiter, is credited with turning
in a beau tiful piece of work for both.
The setting for the opening number
of the show was a boy 's dorm room
in Waller Hall the night before an
exam. Authenticity was given the
skit by the able portrayals rendered
by Alex Kubik, Fr ank Fu rgele , Claude
Renninger, Frank De an , Buck Byham , Phil Search and Ben Burness.
Following the skit, the Andy Mack

1950 Obiter Plans
"Yearbook Clinic"
To Be Held Mere Soon
According to a memorandum issued
recently by Mr. Edward T. Devoe,
Obiter adviser, the selection of the
editor of the 1951 yearbook will be
made in the near future. According
to the plan outlined in the memorandum, persons interested in being on
the staff of the 1951 Obiter should
submit their names to Joe Curilla,
stating the type of work they wish
to do. The selection of the 1951
editor will then be made from the
names submitted.
It was announced also by Curill a
that the 1950 Obiter is planning a
"yearbook clinic, " which will be held
sometime in the next two or three
weeks if a sufficient number of persons are interested. The clinic will be
conducted by a staff member of the
Campus Publishing Company, which
is the Philadelphia division of a large
corporation specializing in school and
college publications.
Curilla, wh o i s edi to r of th e 1950
Obiter, pointed out that the clinic
will be of int ere st t o both present and
prospective Obiter staff members. He
also stated that persons who will be
certified in English would find the
clinic helpful in building up a background for high school yearbook adviserships. Those interested in attending the clinic are asked to submit
their names to Curilla. The clinic
will be held on this campus.
Phi Sigma Pi Elects
New Officers at Annual
Founder's Day Banqu et
The annual Founders' Day banquet
of Phi Sigm a Pi, Iota Chapter, was
held on Thursday evening, Apr il 20,
at Dutch Hill. A delicious dinner of
chicken and waffles was served to
the group of thirty who attended. t
Guest speaker of the evening was
Mr. John B. Kennedy, Superintendent
of the Kingston Schools. Following
the dinner, Mr. Kennedy spoke on the
subje ct , "Waste in Education." In his
remarks, tho speaker pointed out a
number of ways in which education
fails to be thrifty in its processes.
Starting a student before he is ready
to begin school, and then failing him
because he cannot make the grade, is
one example of a form of this waste.
Perhaps the student is not capable
of entering school before he is eight
years old. If such is the case, the
better plan is to let him wait. But ,
when a student does enter school, the
teacher must take a personal interest
in his charge, and each successive
teacher must take a personal interest

Much attention has been paid concerning the closing letters by our correspondents. Frequently is wr itten

campus English profs might call abstractions since they say or mean
nothing.
A closing such as Always, Jane, is
a foolish statement. To begin* with , if
it wasn't always Jane, who else would
it be. If the correspondent planned to
change her name, she should have
written the information in the context of the letter , and if she did not
hint that she . wouldn 't always be

Take a statement such as Yours

It relates that: everything in the
letter is the Gospel truth , but yet
unless you are writing to an enemy,
(which we infrequently do) there is
little cause to attach Yours truly at

Writing the word "love" at the

word no longer means what it formerly meant because of its overuse.

Byham Fans 15 Batters as
Teammates Collect 6 Hits
To Register Season's 4th Win
Bill Byham pitched four-hit ball
and fanned fifteen Mansfield batters,
Saturday afternoon, while the College was winning its eighteenth
straight game, 4-3, on Mt. Olympus.
The big left-hander had to be that
good too. His mates ran into a
drought of basehits, and some slovenly fiel ding, some of it by Byham,
combined to make things tough for
the Kane sophomore.
Playing their first game of the
s e a s o n , the Mountaineers proved
great competitors. Lefty Joe Cheplick settled down after 'a shaky first
two innings and gave up 'a total of
only six hits. His control was a little
edgy, with eight walks going into the
records, but he stopped the 'Huskies
with men on base.
The first two runs for Bloomsburg
in the first inning were in the nature
of a gift. Walks to Ted Mensinger
and Dick Hummel were sandwiched
around a sacrifice bunt by Ed Piestrak. Don Butler flied out to deep
right, before Mike Evans raised one
into the same territory , for what
should have been the third out.
Rightfielder Len Kobeski fell down
under the chance, however, and Mensinger and Hummel scooted home.
The Huskies got another big chance
in the second inning but the chance
melted away after only two more
runs had been scored. Jim Thompson
and Stan LeVan both strolled before
Byham rolled a single between third
and short to plate Thompson. Mensinger walked to load the bases with
no one out.
In this situation, Piestrak fled to
right, Hummel popped to short and
Butler grounded to second. The
fourth run came across on Piestrak's
out.
That was all of the Husky scoring
for the ball game.
Mansfield picked up its first run in
the third inning. Ed Drabinski walked and took second on a passed ball.
Cheplick and George both fanned, but
Kobeski came through with a liner . to
center that scored Drabinski.
The gift runs for the Mountaineers
came in the fourth and fift h innings.
In the fourth , Piestrak bobbled an
easy roller that permitted Tomassoni
to score. In the fifth , Byham made a
nice pick-up of a ground ball through
the box, and then , with plenty of
time for the play, threw the ball ten
feet over Piestrak's head at first.
That permitted Kobeski to score.
That was all for Mansfield which
went down in order in the sixth, seventh and ninth , an d got on e runner
as far as second in the eighth.
The Huskies have two games this
week, going to Millersville, Wednesday, and playing host to Shippensburg on Mt. Olympus, Friday. Saturday 's win was the fourth without
defeat this season.
