be valued. The program was very informational and discussed various
terms used in connection with the
theme as "water-shed," shortages,

Day 's Colorful Ceremony
Once again B.S.T.C. will be celebrating its annual May Day on the
lawn-terrace of the campus, Wednesday, May 10, at 2:30 p.m. This year's
affair will be as colorful though not
as unique as last year 's May Day in
which the college was publicized
throughout the state for being unusual in having not one queen — but
two. Yes, last year the Fuller twins,
Midge and Madge, provided a most
unusual May Day celebration.
This year's celebration is not to be
beaten by those preceding it, but is
endeavoring to equal or excel former
May Days at B.S.T.C. Mrs. Robert
Redman is once again director of the
annual fete and is doing a wonderful
j ob. The theme of this year's program
will be "A Mid-Century May Day,"
an un usua l theme since it can only
happen once every hundred years.
The theme will be developed by
means of reviewing American life
during the past half century in colorful songs and dances.
The Benjamin Franklin Training
School boys and girls will present a
colorful and varied program of dances in harmony with the diverse
phases of American life from 1900 to
1950. The program is open to the
College Community, their guests, and
to the general public. Bleachers are
provided for seats and no admission
fee will be charged.
The music f o r the exercises will be
provided by the Maroon and Gold
Band which will also present a brief
concert prior to the processional
which is scheduled to begin at 2:30
p.m. Daylight Saving Time. The performance of the children will take
place before the court of the May
Queen, Miss Jane Keller, who will be
crowned in a traditional ceremony on
a dias erected on the terraces behind
Waller Hall Gymnasium. The President of the C.G.A., Richard Wagner,
will crown Miss Keller "Queen of
May." Her attendants will be: Lucy
Jane Baker , Terry Ann Cierlitsky,
Susan Dreibelbis, Jeanne Kelder, Mrs.
Jane Kepping, Elizabeth Reece, Betty
Ridall, and Carmella Tarole.
The grand finale of the performance will be the winding of the May
Pole by several groups of children
and college women on the various
levels of the terrace.
3n jUlemor tam
At a recent meeting of the Board
of Trustees of Bloomsburg State
Teachers College, the death of Mr.
Leroy Brochey, faithful employee of
the college, was noted with sorrow.
Upon motion made by Mr. Diehl,
seconded by Judge Kreisher, and unanimously carried, it was resolved
that
"WHEREAS, our Heavenly Father,
in his infinite wisdom, "has removed
from our midst a loyal, efficient, and
conscientious employee of the State
Teachers College, the Board of Trustees resolved
That it should be recorded on their
Minutes that the type of service
rendered to the Bloomsburg State
Normal School and State Teachers
College by Roy Brochey will ever
stand as an example to be emulated by future employees in the Department of Grounds and Buildings,
That It is fitting and proper that
a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the lpved ones of Mr.
Brochey who remain upon this
eart h , and
That the Board of Trustees, the
President, the faculty, the students,
and fellow-employees may have a
record of these sentiments, this
resolution shall appear in the Maroon and Gold ( College Paper)."

Immediatel y upon the return of Worl d
War I soldiers, there came to our campua
one who had served his country as a
member of the A. E. F., 79th Division,
Machine Gun Battalion in France and
Germany, He was Mr. LeRoy Brochey,
an experienced electrician and all around
mechanic In the college maintenance department.
He was well known to everybody on
the campus as "Roy ", and his services
were In demand whenever mechanical re*
pairs or any type of work was in progress ,
He had much to do with daily plant '
operation and contributed greatl y to electric service, especially for such things as
college dramatic productions, dances,
Christmas lighting, etc.
Roy was with us for 26 years, and his
death marked a loss of a friend to all
who had known him. He was truly a

An Open Letter to College Seniors
You college seniors are members of the largest graduating class
in the history of United States collegiate education." You and your
classmates may total half a million , a peak number not likel y to be
reached again in the near future . Last year about 422 ,000 students
received degrees — a record at the time; next year the number of
graduates is expected to decline somewhat.
The very size of the graduating class will intensif y the competition for jobs when you seek employment. Furthermore, it is likel y
that there will be fewer job,openings for new college graduates this
year than there were 2 years ago, or even last year.*
This is not to say the outlook is bleak. In some localities and in
some occupations there will be jobs in abundance. And our economy
is so strong and prosperous that the long-range growth possibilities
are limitless , if we as a Nation concentrate efforts to expand employment opportunities to keep pace with the growing labor force. Nevertheless, the fact remains that , on the average, you who are graduating
this year will have to hunt longer and harder than your immediate
predecessors before you find the j ob you want and for which vou are
trained.
Thus it becomes increasing ly important that you get as much
information as you can about where the opportunities lie — in what
industries, in what occupations , in what sections of the country. To
provide such information to college students, I am having prepared a
series of short articles on job prospects for publication in college newspapers. I am attaching the first of these articles, which discusses the
general employment outlook. Succeeding articles will cover occupations for which large numbers of this year ' s graduates will be trained.
This abbreviated national picture of the outlook for college graduates should be supplemented with more detailed information from
campus placement and guidance bureaus and Jocal offices of State
employment services affiliated with the Labor Department 's United
States Employment Service. These services can add the local and
regional hig h li ghts which may alter of accent parts of the picture as
sketched. They can also provide those professional counseling, testing
and placement services, that have proved so valuable to facilitate the
process of finding a satisfactory job.
It is my hope that , with an understanding of conditions in the
fi eld of your choice , you men and women who graduate this year will
speedily find employment where you can best utilize your knowledge
and skills and contribute most to the society that made possible your
education.
We need the work of your hands and minds and the devotion of
your hearts if our country is to grow and its citizens prosper .
Yours very truly,
,
.

"The democracies must learn that the world is now too small for the
rigid concepts of national sovereignty that developed in a time when the
nations were self-sufficient and self-dependent for their own well-being and
safety. None of them today can stand alone. No radical surrender of national sovereignty is required — only a firm agreement that in disputes between nations, a central and joint agency, after examination of the facts ,
shall decide the ju stice of the case by majori ty vote, and thereafter shall
have the power and the means to enforce its decision. This is a slight restriction indeed on nationalism and a small price to pay if thereby the
peop les who stand for human liberty are better fitted to settle dissension
within their own ranks or to meet attack from without.
"Here is the true, long-term assurance that democracy may flourish in
the world. Physical means and skillful organization may see it safely
thro u gh a cri sis, but only if basically the democracy of our day satisfies the
mental , moral, and physical wants of *he masses living under it can it continue to exist.
"We believe individual liberty , rooted in human dignity, is man 's greatest treasure. We believe that men, given free expression of their will, prefer
freedom and self-dependence to dictatorship and collectivism. From the
evidence, it would appear that the Communist leaders also believe this; else
why do they attack and attempt to destroy the practice of these concepts ?
Were they completely confident in the rectitude and appeal of their own
doctrine, there would be no necessity for them to follow an aggressive policy.
Time would be the only ally they needed if Communism as a spiritual force
and moral inspiration appealed more to mankind than do individual rights
and liberties. We who saw Europe liberated know that the Communistic
fear that men will cling to freedom is well rounded. It is possible that this
truth may be the reason for what appears to be an aggressive intent on the
part of the Communists to tear down all governmental structures based
upon individual freedom.
"If the men and women of America face this issue as squarely and
bravely as their soldiers faced the terrors of battle in World War II, we
would have no fear of the outcome. If they will unite themselves as firmly
as they did when they provided , with their Allies in Europe, the mightiest
fighting force of all time, there is no temporal power that can dare challenge
them. If they can retain the moral integrity, the clarity of comprehension,
and the readiness to sacrifice that finally crushed the Axis, then the free
world will live and prosper, and all peoples, eventually, will reach a
level of culture, contentment , and security th at has never before been
achieved."
The above paragraphs are the final words of Dwight Eisenhower in his
book , "Crusade In Europe. " They are the words of a man who, it seems, is
destined to play a maj or part in American affairs home and abroad in the
not-too-secure future. For all we know, he may be our next President. It
would do us all no harm to allow these several intelligently thought-out
ideas to penetrate into our future thoughts and aims where OUR United
States is concerned.
They are the words of a man well qualified to speak and write on such
a subje ct. Eisenhower led us and had confidence in the American nation as
su ch in w ar , and he may well do the same in peace. Go back and read those
paragraphs again — they may mean more to you, as they did to me, after
you have read them a second or third time.

Secretary of Labor
Senator McCarthy—Right or Wrong?
We all know WHAT Senator McCarthy is try ing to d o , but
the princip le involved is HOW he is doing it. even if McCarthy does
uncover some communism in the United States State Department , his
method of approach and attack will not be justified by any discoveries
he might make . . . . at least , not as far as people with scholarly, thorough , and conscientious viewpoints are concerned. In other words,
McCarthy 's methods have ungraciousl y touched upon and have undul y jostled persons who are everyday clean , decent , and faithful
employees of our government,
The purpose of this article is not to determine whether or not
McCarthy is right or wrong ( however , for his own sake , he had better
be right) , but to bring to the eyes of the reader the way in which he
has gone about his task of discovering communism in our government ,
if such a situation does exist.
Let us each imagine that he is an employee of the government in
one of the more responsible and difficult positions. With any job
there goes a certain amount of conscientious and attention to detail
by the person doing that job , To obtain one of these more soughtafter positions, the person , it is logical to assume, must possess the
attributes mentioned, and then some. That person , nine times out of
ten , is doing his job day by day, year in and year out, with the
thoug ht in mind of performing his duties the way in which they should
be performed , thereby, serving the American government and the
people it represents. Then alona comes a guy like Mr. McCarthy
(I've heard it said that this McCarthy is sitting on Senator Robert
Taft 's knee ) and like a bull in a China closet, lon g and loudly proclaims that there is communism in the government.
Well , as the story goes, after the bull left the China closet and
all the broken , shattered pieces behind , someone was on hand to
clean up the mess, Who , may I ask , is going to be on hand to clean
up the mess after Mr. Ferdinand McCarthy has left this particular
China closet?
After this widespread accusation has been justified one way or
another, will our government employees and officials just sit back and
relax , thankful that their names were not dragged through the mud?
Or will every body be shaky and on edge , afraid to improve their

A Mid -Cen tury May Day
»
^
at Bloomsb urg State Teachers College
#
If you were to visit the campus
of the BJoomsburg Sta te Teachers
College on a certain day in May
in the year 1927 , you would have
witnes sed a festival with all the
gaiety and splendor of a colorful
Roman holiday. For this occasion
marked the first celebration of
May Day at the college.
Each year a f terwar d a d ay was
set aside in the fifth month of the
year for a May Day celebration.
The children from the Benjamin
Franklin Training School , wit h
heads wreathed in garlands, or
carry ing fl owers , were the first
parti cipants in these early annual
festivals.
On May 16 , 1932 , the theme of
the holiday centered around Patsy,
t h e d aug hter of President and
Mrs. George Washington , who
was el ecte d by h er socia l set to
reign as May Queen. In her honor , a lawn party was held. At this
party each of the thirteen colonies
was represente d by a dance. The
dances included the Virginia Reel ,
the Dutch Dance , Hull' s Victory,
Old Nosle , Captain Jin ks , Gathering Peascord , Ku ll Dansen , Children 's Games , Ace of Diamonds ,
French Reel , Ru fty Tu fty, In dian
Dance , and Mammy.
Two years later on May 16,
1934, Bloomsburg State Teachers
CHARMING: Lucy J ane Baker, daughter of Mrs. Lucille J . Baker
of Bloomsburg, Pa ,, is an Elementary student whose specia l interests
include music, art, and children.
TALENTED: Terry Ann Cierlitsk y, daughter of Mr. and Mrs,
Stanley Cierlitsky of Tamaqua, P a,, is a Business student, Terry and
her accordian spend their spare time making beautiful music together.
College held its first Play-Day
May Day. .Twelve groups of hig h
school girls were invited to the
campus to parta ke in the festivities. In the morning games were
played and winners were named
in all activities : bat ball , dod ge
ball , baseball , relays, quoits , and
croquet.
At 3:30 in the afternoon the
May Day processiona l took pl ace
led by Queen of the May, Gene
Britton , with her Prince Charming, Grey Hutc hison. Four pretty
ladies-in-waiting assisted the queen
while the prince was accompanied
by two attendants. A half-hour
pro g ram of d ances was f oll owed
with the traditional winding of the
maypol es by stu dents of the Benjamin Fran klin Training School
and the college . . . all dressed in
spring pastels.
In 1936, the May Day festivities were hig hlig hted by the presentation of the Morris dance with
ca k e b earers an d a h obb y horse.
Accor ding to old beliefs , one tiny
bit of currant cake was a promise
of luck for years to come.
Hig h school students were invited to the fourth play—Day
May Day celebration on May 12 ,
1937. After registration at nine
o 'clock , the boys and girls went
to the auditorium where they were
divided into squads. Individual
challengers in various sports completed from eleven o'clock unti l
noon. Fo llowing lunch in the college dining room , squa d game s
were held at 1:15 P.M. Grand
priz es were awarded to the victorious squa ds. The climax to the
day 's enjoyment came at 3:30
when May Day proper activities
began. Muriel Stevens , from Berwick and a senior at the college ,
was queen of the affair.
The pageant of May 17, 1939 ,
one of extraordinary color and
beauty with its costumes of the
seventeenth century, was followed
the next year by a decorative celebration. The 1940 holiday was
characterized by dancing, singing,
and gymnastics. It developed the
theme that America is the happiest
place in the world for young people. May poles were in the flag
colors of fourteen different nations
which have contributed most to
the Great Melting Pot, The winding of the poles was to represent
the unity of purpose that exists in
each individual in America. In,
keeping with the theme , everyone
made the Pledge of Alleg iance to
the flag and sang God Bless

The Maroon and Gold , in May
1947 , b ore a l arge , front page
picture of Betty Adams, the first
queen to rei gn over a May Day
fete since the end of the war. That
year the theme was based on
the United Nations , with folk
dances and national songs from

Switzerland. China and Greece .
The terraced hillside between
Science Hall and Noetlinq Hall
was t h e site o f co l or f u l fl owers
an d stream ers wh en ' Mrs. Anne
Bald y Boyer of Catawissa reigned
as queen on May 12 , 1948. The
Olympic Games provided the
theme for the occasion. Children
of the training school , pretti ly bedecked in brig h t costumes , entertained spectators with lively songs,
folk dances , and games.
The year 1949 produced the
most unusual of May Days recorded in the annals of B.S.T.C.
when twin queens , Mid ge an d
Mad ge Fuller , of Berwick , rei gne d
over the ceremonies. The pretty
brunettes , identical twins, wore
identical gowns of white organdy
an d carried identical bouquets.
Approximatel y two thousand persons wat ched the queens going
across the terrace to the floral bedecked throne where Thaddeus
Swigonski , C o m m u n i t y Government Association president and Al
Lampman, senior class president ,
bestowed wreaths on the lovely
sisters.
The theme of the 1949 pageant
was "Insi de Our U. S. A. " wit h
representatives of different cultures on Various parts of the United States. Students from the Benjamin Franklin Training School ,
throug h song and dance, represented cultures of New England ,
New York , Texas, Missouri , the
South, California, and Ohio. TKe
close of the celebration was marked by twining many-colored ribbons around the maypoles.
Thus has the celebration of
May Day developed at the
Bloomsburg State Teachers College. Each year , there are presentations of flower dances , winding
of the maypole and coronation of
a queen. Yet each celebration has
a unique characteristic that is es-
pecially memorable.
Next Wednesday, t h e coll ege
will celebrate May Day, 1950.
Perhaps, sometime during the gay
festivities , a certain participant in
the program will recall a day,
fifteen years ago when she was a
flower girl on a similar occasion.
Perhaps, too, some of the May
Day spectators will remember that
May 15, 1935, when a pretty
blond girl carried a bouquet of
spring flowers. Then she was a

IjOCKER lip- LINGO
by Harry Brooks
Last Friday afternoon saw the close of the longest winning streak held
by any athletic team in B.S.T.C. history when the local diamond squad bowed
to the Shippensburg Red Raiders by a 5-2 count. By topping the Maroon
and Gold on Mount Olympus, the visitors snapped the enviable string of 19
straight diamond successes over a period of three years. The initial victory
^
in the long trek took place almost
two years ago and since that time, the
Huskies wouldn 't play dead for the opposing bats and pitchers. However,
now that the pressure is off the boys, chances are that they will perform
much better since so much is no longer at stake. Also, Coach Bob Redman
can readily use more reserves than ever before because in the past, he
deemed it best to allow only the steady, time-tested boys to stand at the
darner.
With the beatin g1 administered by the Shippers , it did not surprise too
many fans. It seems that the Red Raider rivals have consistently been a
thorn in the sides of College Hill athletic teams in the past few years.
We can point to the Homecoming grid game last fall when in the last
three minutes, the Huskies had to rally against the underdog visitors and
eke out a narrow 14-13 win. Then came the basketball season. The Maroon
and Gold cagers had their longest win streak in many years of court activity
until the Red Raiders dumped the locals in an overtime battle. Who then
would be more qualified to halt the Huskies winning ways ?
Congr atulations to the four boys who were selected by track mentor
Harold Slielley to represen t B.S.T.C. at the annual nationally -known Penn
Relay s last weekend. Although the Husk y boys didn 't bring : back any trophies, they did their best against the East' s top competition. Speaking of tra ck,
the local thinclads sporte d a one and one record before the Lock Haven Meet
last Tuesday. Keep up the fine work in B.S.T.C. 's return to the track world.
In the Intramural circuit , the Softball league is moving into its final
weeks of play by battling out decisions at the rate of three and four a week.
The championship should soon be decided, so let's have a greater attendance
at those free-for-all fracases . . . Up on the court at Centennial the volleyball champs are now struggling for the lead of the league. These games are
also interesting from the spectator, standpoint — believe it or not.
The Major Leagues are now settling into the first full month of activity,
and the way thin gs are going of late seems to indicate how the races will
shape up at least for the next month or so. The high-flying : Dodgers are
ridin g1 on the top of the Natio nal League heap, while in the junior circuit ,
Detroit has the nod at this writing - . . . Just recentl y, an articl e appea red
in one of the big- city paper s concerning - the pitcliing of a youthful athlete
still in a California high school. It stated that the lad had pitched his third
no-hitter in two years. Think he 'd be interested in coming- to B.S.T.C. ?
Maybe such an addition for four years would produce the longest streak in
Husky histor y.

Huskies in 8-7 Win
Over Millersvill e
On Thursday afternoon April 27,
the Husky swatters traveled to Millersville and met stiff resistance until
they tripped the Marauders by an 8-7
count in an eleven inning tilt.
After jumping off t o a quick lead
in the opening frames, the home
squad looked like sure winners, and
the team to break the long Maroon
and Gold streak. But in the last several innings, the usual Husky rally
tied the ball game up. However, it
wasn't until the top of the ninth
frame that the B.S.T.C. boys could
muster the seventh and tying run of
the ball game. Brunn and Byham
pitched steady ball in the tenth and
eleventh innings while their team
mates collected a run in the top of
the eleventh to cop the vital decision.
Brunn was the winning hurler for
the Husky cause, only after Byham
relieved him in the late innings to
put out a Millersville uprising.
Horseshoe Tournament
Now in Full Swing
Now that the weather has been
j ust right, the much-discussed horseshoe tournament got under way last
Tuesday afternoon on the tennis
courts near North Hall. First round
matches were scheduled for all week,
but no definite schedule prevails, the
entries being permitted to play at
their own convenience before today.
Next week, a regular card will be
listed and the championship should
be decided within the next 2 weeks.

Loss Comes With Two Out
In Ninth and Huskies
Ahead by a 2-1 Count
A stubborn Shippensburg Teachers
team became the first B.S.T.C. foe in
a score of starts to turn in a win by
beating the Huskies 5 to 2 on Friday,
April 28, on the Mt. Olympus diamond.
It was the firs t loss for Coach Redman's boys in 20 games extending
over 3 years. The Huskies won their
fin al game in 1948, ch alked u p 13
straigh t last year and 5 more this
season before losing last week.
Much credit for the triumph must
go to plucky right-handed pitcher
Earl Hassinger of the Shippers who
displayed real baseball c o u r ag e .
Knocked to the ground in the first
inning by a terrific smash off the bat
of Husky center fielder Don Butler,
Hassinger arose to blank the Huskies
and pitch three hit ball the rest of
the way to annex the decision.
The winning rally occurred in the
ninth when pitcher Bill Byham gave
up one of the few (five) hits he allowed to start off the inning. The
next batter reached first when Byham threw wild to second trying for
a forceout.
Then came a sacrifice and a walk
that loaded the bases with only one
out. Pitcher Hassinger bounced the
ball back at Byham who threw home
but catcher LeVan let the ball pass
by him and two runs crossed the
plate. Two more scored later but the
damage was done.
The Husky scoring was concentrated in the firs t inning. With Ted
Mensinger and Ed Piestrak on second
and third , Butler slammed a pitch
directly at Hassinger. It hit the pitcher on the knee and bounced to the
left field stands, both runners scoring.

Day 's Colorful Ceremony
Once again B.S.T.C. will be celebrating its annual May Day on the
lawn-terrace of the campus, Wednesday, May 10, at 2:30 p.m. This year's
affair will be as colorful though not
as unique as last year 's May Day in
which the college was publicized
throughout the state for being unusual in having not one queen — but
two. Yes, last year the Fuller twins,
Midge and Madge, provided a most
unusual May Day celebration.
This year's celebration is not to be
beaten by those preceding it, but is
endeavoring to equal or excel former
May Days at B.S.T.C. Mrs. Robert
Redman is once again director of the
annual fete and is doing a wonderful
j ob. The theme of this year's program
will be "A Mid-Century May Day,"
an un usua l theme since it can only
happen once every hundred years.
The theme will be developed by
means of reviewing American life
during the past half century in colorful songs and dances.
The Benjamin Franklin Training
School boys and girls will present a
colorful and varied program of dances in harmony with the diverse
phases of American life from 1900 to
1950. The program is open to the
College Community, their guests, and
to the general public. Bleachers are
provided for seats and no admission
fee will be charged.
The music f o r the exercises will be
provided by the Maroon and Gold
Band which will also present a brief
concert prior to the processional
which is scheduled to begin at 2:30
p.m. Daylight Saving Time. The performance of the children will take
place before the court of the May
Queen, Miss Jane Keller, who will be
crowned in a traditional ceremony on
a dias erected on the terraces behind
Waller Hall Gymnasium. The President of the C.G.A., Richard Wagner,
will crown Miss Keller "Queen of
May." Her attendants will be: Lucy
Jane Baker , Terry Ann Cierlitsky,
Susan Dreibelbis, Jeanne Kelder, Mrs.
Jane Kepping, Elizabeth Reece, Betty
Ridall, and Carmella Tarole.
The grand finale of the performance will be the winding of the May
Pole by several groups of children
and college women on the various
levels of the terrace.

At a recent meeting of the Board
of Trustees of Bloomsburg State
Teachers College, the death of Mr.
Leroy Brochey, faithful employee of
the college, was noted with sorrow.
Upon motion made by Mr. Diehl,
seconded by Judge Kreisher, and unanimously carried, it was resolved
that
"WHEREAS, our Heavenly Father,
in his infinite wisdom, "has removed
from our midst a loyal, efficient, and
conscientious employee of the State
Teachers College, the Board of Trustees resolved
That it should be recorded on their
Minutes that the type of service
rendered to the Bloomsburg State
Normal School and State Teachers
College by Roy Brochey will ever
stand as an example to be emulated by future employees in the Department of Grounds and Buildings,
That It is fitting and proper that
a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the lpved ones of Mr.
Brochey who remain upon this
eart h , and
That the Board of Trustees, the
President, the faculty, the students,
and fellow-employees may have a
record of these sentiments, this
resolution shall appear in the Maroon and Gold ( College Paper)."

an experienced electrician and all around

He was well known to everybody on
the campus as "Roy ", and his services
were In demand whenever mechanical re*
pairs or any type of work was in progress ,
He had much to do with daily plant '
operation and contributed greatl y to electric service, especially for such things as
college dramatic productions, dances,
Christmas lighting, etc.
Roy was with us for 26 years, and his
death marked a loss of a friend to all
who had known him. He was truly a

An Open Letter to College Seniors
You college seniors are members of the largest graduating class
in the history of United States collegiate education." You and your
classmates may total half a million , a peak number not likel y to be
reached again in the near future . Last year about 422 ,000 students
received degrees — a record at the time; next year the number of
graduates is expected to decline somewhat.
The very size of the graduating class will intensif y the competition for jobs when you seek employment. Furthermore, it is likel y
that there will be fewer job,openings for new college graduates this
year than there were 2 years ago, or even last year.*
This is not to say the outlook is bleak. In some localities and in
some occupations there will be jobs in abundance. And our economy
is so strong and prosperous that the long-range growth possibilities
are limitless , if we as a Nation concentrate efforts to expand employment opportunities to keep pace with the growing labor force. Nevertheless, the fact remains that , on the average, you who are graduating
this year will have to hunt longer and harder than your immediate
predecessors before you find the j ob you want and for which vou are
trained.
Thus it becomes increasing ly important that you get as much
information as you can about where the opportunities lie — in what
industries, in what occupations , in what sections of the country. To
provide such information to college students, I am having prepared a
series of short articles on job prospects for publication in college newspapers. I am attaching the first of these articles, which discusses the
general employment outlook. Succeeding articles will cover occupations for which large numbers of this year ' s graduates will be trained.
This abbreviated national picture of the outlook for college graduates should be supplemented with more detailed information from
campus placement and guidance bureaus and Jocal offices of State
employment services affiliated with the Labor Department 's United
States Employment Service. These services can add the local and
regional hig h li ghts which may alter of accent parts of the picture as
sketched. They can also provide those professional counseling, testing
and placement services, that have proved so valuable to facilitate the
process of finding a satisfactory job.
It is my hope that , with an understanding of conditions in the
fi eld of your choice , you men and women who graduate this year will
speedily find employment where you can best utilize your knowledge
and skills and contribute most to the society that made possible your
education.
We need the work of your hands and minds and the devotion of
your hearts if our country is to grow and its citizens prosper .
Yours very truly,
,
.

"The democracies must learn that the world is now too small for the
rigid concepts of national sovereignty that developed in a time when the
nations were self-sufficient and self-dependent for their own well-being and
safety. None of them today can stand alone. No radical surrender of national sovereignty is required — only a firm agreement that in disputes between nations, a central and joint agency, after examination of the facts ,
shall decide the ju stice of the case by majori ty vote, and thereafter shall
have the power and the means to enforce its decision. This is a slight restriction indeed on nationalism and a small price to pay if thereby the
peop les who stand for human liberty are better fitted to settle dissension
within their own ranks or to meet attack from without.
"Here is the true, long-term assurance that democracy may flourish in
the world. Physical means and skillful organization may see it safely
thro u gh a cri sis, but only if basically the democracy of our day satisfies the
mental , moral, and physical wants of *he masses living under it can it continue to exist.
"We believe individual liberty , rooted in human dignity, is man 's greatest treasure. We believe that men, given free expression of their will, prefer
freedom and self-dependence to dictatorship and collectivism. From the
evidence, it would appear that the Communist leaders also believe this; else
why do they attack and attempt to destroy the practice of these concepts ?
Were they completely confident in the rectitude and appeal of their own
doctrine, there would be no necessity for them to follow an aggressive policy.
Time would be the only ally they needed if Communism as a spiritual force
and moral inspiration appealed more to mankind than do individual rights
and liberties. We who saw Europe liberated know that the Communistic
fear that men will cling to freedom is well rounded. It is possible that this
truth may be the reason for what appears to be an aggressive intent on the
part of the Communists to tear down all governmental structures based
upon individual freedom.
"If the men and women of America face this issue as squarely and
bravely as their soldiers faced the terrors of battle in World War II, we
would have no fear of the outcome. If they will unite themselves as firmly
as they did when they provided , with their Allies in Europe, the mightiest
fighting force of all time, there is no temporal power that can dare challenge
them. If they can retain the moral integrity, the clarity of comprehension,
and the readiness to sacrifice that finally crushed the Axis, then the free
world will live and prosper, and all peoples, eventually, will reach a
level of culture, contentment , and security th at has never before been
achieved."
The above paragraphs are the final words of Dwight Eisenhower in his
book , "Crusade In Europe. " They are the words of a man who, it seems, is
destined to play a maj or part in American affairs home and abroad in the
not-too-secure future. For all we know, he may be our next President. It
would do us all no harm to allow these several intelligently thought-out
ideas to penetrate into our future thoughts and aims where OUR United
States is concerned.
They are the words of a man well qualified to speak and write on such
a subje ct. Eisenhower led us and had confidence in the American nation as
su ch in w ar , and he may well do the same in peace. Go back and read those
paragraphs again — they may mean more to you, as they did to me, after
you have read them a second or third time.

Secretary of Labor
Senator McCarthy—Right or Wrong?
We all know WHAT Senator McCarthy is try ing to d o , but
the princip le involved is HOW he is doing it. even if McCarthy does
uncover some communism in the United States State Department , his
method of approach and attack will not be justified by any discoveries
he might make . . . . at least , not as far as people with scholarly, thorough , and conscientious viewpoints are concerned. In other words,
McCarthy 's methods have ungraciousl y touched upon and have undul y jostled persons who are everyday clean , decent , and faithful
employees of our government,
The purpose of this article is not to determine whether or not
McCarthy is right or wrong ( however , for his own sake , he had better
be right) , but to bring to the eyes of the reader the way in which he
has gone about his task of discovering communism in our government ,
if such a situation does exist.
Let us each imagine that he is an employee of the government in
one of the more responsible and difficult positions. With any job
there goes a certain amount of conscientious and attention to detail
by the person doing that job , To obtain one of these more soughtafter positions, the person , it is logical to assume, must possess the
attributes mentioned, and then some. That person , nine times out of
ten , is doing his job day by day, year in and year out, with the
thoug ht in mind of performing his duties the way in which they should
be performed , thereby, serving the American government and the
people it represents. Then alona comes a guy like Mr. McCarthy
(I've heard it said that this McCarthy is sitting on Senator Robert
Taft 's knee ) and like a bull in a China closet, lon g and loudly proclaims that there is communism in the government.
Well , as the story goes, after the bull left the China closet and
all the broken , shattered pieces behind , someone was on hand to
clean up the mess, Who , may I ask , is going to be on hand to clean
up the mess after Mr. Ferdinand McCarthy has left this particular
China closet?
After this widespread accusation has been justified one way or
another, will our government employees and officials just sit back and
relax , thankful that their names were not dragged through the mud?
Or will every body be shaky and on edge , afraid to improve their

A Mid -Cen tury May Day
»
^
at Bloomsb urg State Teachers College
#
If you were to visit the campus
of the BJoomsburg Sta te Teachers
College on a certain day in May
in the year 1927 , you would have
witnes sed a festival with all the
gaiety and splendor of a colorful
Roman holiday. For this occasion
marked the first celebration of
May Day at the college.
Each year a f terwar d a d ay was
set aside in the fifth month of the
year for a May Day celebration.
The children from the Benjamin
Franklin Training School , wit h
heads wreathed in garlands, or
carry ing fl owers , were the first
parti cipants in these early annual
festivals.
On May 16 , 1932 , the theme of
the holiday centered around Patsy,
t h e d aug hter of President and
Mrs. George Washington , who
was el ecte d by h er socia l set to
reign as May Queen. In her honor , a lawn party was held. At this
party each of the thirteen colonies
was represente d by a dance. The
dances included the Virginia Reel ,
the Dutch Dance , Hull' s Victory,
Old Nosle , Captain Jin ks , Gathering Peascord , Ku ll Dansen , Children 's Games , Ace of Diamonds ,
French Reel , Ru fty Tu fty, In dian
Dance , and Mammy.
Two years later on May 16,
1934, Bloomsburg State Teachers
CHARMING: Lucy J ane Baker, daughter of Mrs. Lucille J . Baker
of Bloomsburg, Pa ,, is an Elementary student whose specia l interests
include music, art, and children.
TALENTED: Terry Ann Cierlitsk y, daughter of Mr. and Mrs,
Stanley Cierlitsky of Tamaqua, P a,, is a Business student, Terry and
her accordian spend their spare time making beautiful music together.
College held its first Play-Day
May Day. .Twelve groups of hig h
school girls were invited to the
campus to parta ke in the festivities. In the morning games were
played and winners were named
in all activities : bat ball , dod ge
ball , baseball , relays, quoits , and
croquet.
At 3:30 in the afternoon the
May Day processiona l took pl ace
led by Queen of the May, Gene
Britton , with her Prince Charming, Grey Hutc hison. Four pretty
ladies-in-waiting assisted the queen
while the prince was accompanied
by two attendants. A half-hour
pro g ram of d ances was f oll owed
with the traditional winding of the
maypol es by stu dents of the Benjamin Fran klin Training School
and the college . . . all dressed in
spring pastels.
In 1936, the May Day festivities were hig hlig hted by the presentation of the Morris dance with
ca k e b earers an d a h obb y horse.
Accor ding to old beliefs , one tiny
bit of currant cake was a promise
of luck for years to come.
Hig h school students were invited to the fourth play—Day
May Day celebration on May 12 ,
1937. After registration at nine
o 'clock , the boys and girls went
to the auditorium where they were
divided into squads. Individual
challengers in various sports completed from eleven o'clock unti l
noon. Fo llowing lunch in the college dining room , squa d game s
were held at 1:15 P.M. Grand
priz es were awarded to the victorious squa ds. The climax to the
day 's enjoyment came at 3:30
when May Day proper activities
began. Muriel Stevens , from Berwick and a senior at the college ,
was queen of the affair.
The pageant of May 17, 1939 ,
one of extraordinary color and
beauty with its costumes of the
seventeenth century, was followed
the next year by a decorative celebration. The 1940 holiday was
characterized by dancing, singing,
and gymnastics. It developed the
theme that America is the happiest
place in the world for young people. May poles were in the flag
colors of fourteen different nations
which have contributed most to
the Great Melting Pot, The winding of the poles was to represent
the unity of purpose that exists in
each individual in America. In,
keeping with the theme , everyone
made the Pledge of Alleg iance to
the flag and sang God Bless
America, Rose Mary Houseknecht
reigned as queen ,
In 194 1, a record breaking
crowd observed May Day at
B.S.T.C. when Aldonna Maslowsk y, was crowned by the president
of the Community Government
Association.
Simp licity was the keynote of
the May Day in 1942, Participants were costumed In patriotic
colors, Some B.S.T.C. freshmen

following year but Play-Day was
observed. Bight representatives
from each of the county school s
too k , part in competitive games.
Prize awards were made in Centennial Gymnasium at 4:00 P.M.
Because of the war , t h ere was
no out door observance of May
Day in 1944. Nevertheless , on
May 20 the Community Government Association held a dance
from eig ht until twelve in the Old
Gymnasium. N o m i n a t i o n s and
election of a queen took pl ace in
assembl y; finall y, d uring dance intermission , amid a setting of May
decorations, throne, an d sprin g

queen.
The Maroon and Gold , in May
1947 , b ore a l arge , front page
picture of Betty Adams, the first
queen to rei gn over a May Day
fete since the end of the war. That
year the theme was based on
the United Nations , with folk
dances and national songs from
Eng land/; Brazil , Denmar k, R ussia ,
Switzerland. China and Greece .
The terraced hillside between
Science Hall and Noetlinq Hall
was t h e site o f co l or f u l fl owers
an d stream ers wh en ' Mrs. Anne
Bald y Boyer of Catawissa reigned
as queen on May 12 , 1948. The
Olympic Games provided the
theme for the occasion. Children
of the training school , pretti ly bedecked in brig h t costumes , entertained spectators with lively songs,
folk dances , and games.
The year 1949 produced the
most unusual of May Days recorded in the annals of B.S.T.C.
when twin queens , Mid ge an d
Mad ge Fuller , of Berwick , rei gne d
over the ceremonies. The pretty
brunettes , identical twins, wore
identical gowns of white organdy
an d carried identical bouquets.
Approximatel y two thousand persons wat ched the queens going
across the terrace to the floral bedecked throne where Thaddeus
Swigonski , C o m m u n i t y Government Association president and Al
Lampman, senior class president ,
bestowed wreaths on the lovely
sisters.
The theme of the 1949 pageant
was "Insi de Our U. S. A. " wit h
representatives of different cultures on Various parts of the United States. Students from the Benjamin Franklin Training School ,
throug h song and dance, represented cultures of New England ,
New York , Texas, Missouri , the
South, California, and Ohio. TKe
close of the celebration was marked by twining many-colored ribbons around the maypoles.
Thus has the celebration of
May Day developed at the
Bloomsburg State Teachers College. Each year , there are presentations of flower dances , winding
of the maypole and coronation of
a queen. Yet each celebration has
a unique characteristic that is es-
pecially memorable.
Next Wednesday, t h e coll ege
will celebrate May Day, 1950.
Perhaps, sometime during the gay
festivities , a certain participant in
the program will recall a day,
fifteen years ago when she was a
flower girl on a similar occasion.
Perhaps, too, some of the May
Day spectators will remember that
May 15, 1935, when a pretty
blond girl carried a bouquet of
spring flowers. Then she was a
flower girl and May Day was a
fairy-tale wonderland, This May

IjOCKER lip- LINGO
by Harry Brooks
Last Friday afternoon saw the close of the longest winning streak held
by any athletic team in B.S.T.C. history when the local diamond squad bowed
to the Shippensburg Red Raiders by a 5-2 count. By topping the Maroon
and Gold on Mount Olympus, the visitors snapped the enviable string of 19
straight diamond successes over a period of three years. The initial victory
^
in the long trek took place almost
two years ago and since that time, the
Huskies wouldn 't play dead for the opposing bats and pitchers. However,
now that the pressure is off the boys, chances are that they will perform
much better since so much is no longer at stake. Also, Coach Bob Redman
can readily use more reserves than ever before because in the past, he
deemed it best to allow only the steady, time-tested boys to stand at the
darner.
With the beatin g1 administered by the Shippers , it did not surprise too
many fans. It seems that the Red Raider rivals have consistently been a
thorn in the sides of College Hill athletic teams in the past few years.
We can point to the Homecoming grid game last fall when in the last
three minutes, the Huskies had to rally against the underdog visitors and
eke out a narrow 14-13 win. Then came the basketball season. The Maroon
and Gold cagers had their longest win streak in many years of court activity
until the Red Raiders dumped the locals in an overtime battle. Who then
would be more qualified to halt the Huskies winning ways ?
Congr atulations to the four boys who were selected by track mentor
Harold Slielley to represen t B.S.T.C. at the annual nationally -known Penn
Relay s last weekend. Although the Husk y boys didn 't bring : back any trophies, they did their best against the East' s top competition. Speaking of tra ck,
the local thinclads sporte d a one and one record before the Lock Haven Meet
last Tuesday. Keep up the fine work in B.S.T.C. 's return to the track world.
In the Intramural circuit , the Softball league is moving into its final
weeks of play by battling out decisions at the rate of three and four a week.
The championship should soon be decided, so let's have a greater attendance
at those free-for-all fracases . . . Up on the court at Centennial the volleyball champs are now struggling for the lead of the league. These games are
also interesting from the spectator, standpoint — believe it or not.
The Major Leagues are now settling into the first full month of activity,
and the way thin gs are going of late seems to indicate how the races will
shape up at least for the next month or so. The high-flying : Dodgers are
ridin g1 on the top of the Natio nal League heap, while in the junior circuit ,
Detroit has the nod at this writing - . . . Just recentl y, an articl e appea red
in one of the big- city paper s concerning - the pitcliing of a youthful athlete
still in a California high school. It stated that the lad had pitched his third
no-hitter in two years. Think he 'd be interested in coming- to B.S.T.C. ?
Maybe such an addition for four years would produce the longest streak in
Husky histor y.

Huskies in 8-7 Win
Over Millersvill e
On Thursday afternoon April 27,
the Husky swatters traveled to Millersville and met stiff resistance until
they tripped the Marauders by an 8-7
count in an eleven inning tilt.
After jumping off t o a quick lead
in the opening frames, the home
squad looked like sure winners, and
the team to break the long Maroon
and Gold streak. But in the last several innings, the usual Husky rally
tied the ball game up. However, it
wasn't until the top of the ninth
frame that the B.S.T.C. boys could
muster the seventh and tying run of
the ball game. Brunn and Byham
pitched steady ball in the tenth and
eleventh innings while their team
mates collected a run in the top of
the eleventh to cop the vital decision.
Brunn was the winning hurler for
the Husky cause, only after Byham
relieved him in the late innings to
put out a Millersville uprising.
Horseshoe Tournament
Now in Full Swing
Now that the weather has been
j ust right, the much-discussed horseshoe tournament got under way last
Tuesday afternoon on the tennis
courts near North Hall. First round
matches were scheduled for all week,
but no definite schedule prevails, the
entries being permitted to play at
their own convenience before today.
Next week, a regular card will be
listed and the championship should
be decided within the next 2 weeks.

Loss Comes With Two Out
In Ninth and Huskies
Ahead by a 2-1 Count
A stubborn Shippensburg Teachers
team became the first B.S.T.C. foe in
a score of starts to turn in a win by
beating the Huskies 5 to 2 on Friday,
April 28, on the Mt. Olympus diamond.
It was the firs t loss for Coach Redman's boys in 20 games extending
over 3 years. The Huskies won their
fin al game in 1948, ch alked u p 13
straigh t last year and 5 more this
season before losing last week.
Much credit for the triumph must
go to plucky right-handed pitcher
Earl Hassinger of the Shippers who
displayed real baseball c o u r ag e .
Knocked to the ground in the first
inning by a terrific smash off the bat
of Husky center fielder Don Butler,
Hassinger arose to blank the Huskies
and pitch three hit ball the rest of
the way to annex the decision.
The winning rally occurred in the
ninth when pitcher Bill Byham gave
up one of the few (five) hits he allowed to start off the inning. The
next batter reached first when Byham threw wild to second trying for
a forceout.
Then came a sacrifice and a walk
that loaded the bases with only one
out. Pitcher Hassinger bounced the
ball back at Byham who threw home
but catcher LeVan let the ball pass
by him and two runs crossed the
plate. Two more scored later but the
damage was done.
The Husky scoring was concentrated in the firs t inning. With Ted
Mensinger and Ed Piestrak on second
and third , Butler slammed a pitch
directly at Hassinger. It hit the pitcher on the knee and bounced to the
left field stands, both runners scoring.
