School Officials
Commend B.S.T.CX
Pla cement Broch ure

School administrators, who have
received copies oli the annual placement brocnure of B. S. T. C, indicate that they appreciate such a
publication. Special credit is due
to President Harvey A. Andruss
since he first suggested the printing of; such a booklet three years
ago, Since then it has become an
annual publication.
The brochure is mailed each
year to school administrators in
the service area of B.S.T.C., as
well as to school officials in several neighboring states. Dr. Ernest H. Engelhardt, director of
pl acement , has r ecei ved m a n y
complimentary letters from administrators concerning the booklet.
The following letter was recently received at the Placement
Bureau :
"Dear Mr. Engelhardt :
Thank you so much for sending
me the excellent brochure of your
Teachers College. I feel definitely,
as I expressed to you last year,
that this is a most excellent service which you render your seniors and also interested school
administrators.
You may remember that I am
the one who employed Walter
Bird last year. Walter has teen
most successful for a beginner in
his coaching, teaching and all relationships. He is outstanding and
is a type of young m an wh o most
of us are always seeking but ar€
seldom successful in finding.
Thank you again. You may hear
from me later.
Very truly yours,
A. J. MOULTON
Supervising Principal,
Township of Neptune
Ocean Grove, N. J."
This letter indicates the valuable part played by the brochure
in acquainting educational employers with available employees.
The publication is the best of its
kind in Pennsylvania and ranks
among the best in the country.

Dr. Engelhardt
Announces Date of
Sprin g Conference
Dr. Ernest Englehardt, Director
of Secondary Education, has announced that the Spring Conference on Education which is sponsored annually by this college will,
be held this year on Saturday,
April 21. This conference will be
a half day affair, ending with
luncheon and entertainment in the
college dining room. Several hundred teachers and administrators
from the Bloomsburg service area
are expected to attend.
The theme of this year's conference will be "Growth In Service."
Two sectional meetings will be
held, one for administrators, the
other for teachers-in-service. Following these meetings, the general
session will be held in Carver
Auditorium. The principal speaker
will be Mr. Donald V. Hock, Mayor of the city of Allentown.
The complete program, including other well-known educators,
will be announced in subsequent
issues of the Maroon and Gold.

Bloomsbur g Players
Schedule 'Our Town *
When the Bloomsburg Players
present "Our Town" on April 17
in Carver Auditorium, they will
bring to the B.S.T.C. stage some
new theater techniques. The college will find "Our Town " quite a
contrast to preceding productions
of the dramatic group. Last year
"The Late George Appley" met
with success, and the year before
the club's memorable production
of "The Barretts of Wimpole
Street" won wide acclaim in the
college community.
"Our Town" promises to be unique for the fact that It is a play
without scenery ; yet all situations
are clear without it. The lack of
scenery adds to, rather than detracts from the full appreciation
of the play.
"Our Town" is the history of
Grover Corners, New Hampshire,
and its citizens, particularly the
Webbs and the Gibbs families. As
thjs story unfolds, more and more
surprises are revealed to the audience.
This year's play has had a successful run on Broadway. After a
tour of the country, the production was released to the amateur
theater. Since that time It has
been a favorite of college dramatic
groups and audiences throughout
the country.
Noted theater critics of the Chicago News have called the play,
"unconvent iona l, intriguing, an absorbing experience in playgoing."

College Takes Steps to
Acquire Air Force Cadet
Aviation Unit on Campus

Due to the present turmoil and
uncertainty existing in the world
today, the officials of this college
have thought it wise to have some
military reserve unit located on
the campus to prepare our men
students in case of war. During a
recent poll taken at an assembly
program, an overwhelming major ity of both faculty and students
were strongly in favor of such a
unit being placed here. Approximately 480 individuals took part
in this poll. Eighty-three percent
of our faculty favored the establishment of an emergency unit,
while 86% also favored the establishment on a permanent basis.
Among the student body, 80%
voted for an emergency unit and
79% also voted for a permanent
unit.
As a result of this test, it is saf e
to assume that most of the people
associated with this college are in
favor of a program providing for
military training. The problem remains how to get such a unit here
at Bloomsburg.
Within the last few months,
many steps have been taken along
this line. Last August an application was filed with the Commanding General, Second Army, Fort
Meade, Maryl and for an R.O.T.C.
unit to be installed here. B.S.T.C.
was inspected in the latter part
of tha t month , but a unit could
not be placed here in time for the
firs t semest er , so the plan was
drowned for the present.
A short time ago, t he college
filed a comprehensive questionaire
wit h the Office' of Education in
Washington, D. C. This questionaire is available to all government
agencies who may be seeking college facilities for defense uses.
This report of our college contains
every imaginable type of data, including special programs offered
by the college.
Also included in this report is a
list of the hidden abilities of our
faculty members. It is more than
interesting to discover wh at some
of our instructors have done in
the past to aid in the defense
effort of our country. To give a
few examples, President Andruss
was on a six months leave of absence in 1945-46 to help organize
the First American Army University in Shriveenham, Berkshire,
England, where he acted as department head.
Dr. North was V-12 coordinator
during World War II. He spent
two weeks in a program of indoctrination with Navy and Marine
Corps. Mr. Hallisy was educationist with the Veterans Administration in Washington, D. C, developing policies pertaining to business and sales training for the
central office. He also reviewed
on-the-,iob training programs for
approval.
Miss MacDonald was a Lieutenant Commander in the Waves.
She was company officer, officer
in charge of watch , and daily instruction officer at the U. S. National Training School, Stillwater,
Oklahoma. Mr. Lanterman was an
analytic chemist and did sanitation research for the Army.
Miss Mettler taught Red Cross
Home Nursing and First Aid.
Miss Thayer managed a Navy V12 mess hall and taught Red Cross
nutrition courses. Mr. Sharretts
was on four years active duty with
the Air Force Training Command.
He also lectured on military subj ects and chemical warfare.
If and when an Air Force Cadet
School is placed here, there will
be no less than 100 in the course.
This course will consist of four
years, two basic and two advanced. Only those qualified and accepted will be allowed to take the
second two years. Wages will be
paid in this period , and the course
will take the place of physical
education.
The Air Corps plans to activate
units in 62 institutions by April
20, During the last war, this college had a bigger aviation unit
than any other college of its size
In the entire country.
To date, Bloomsburg Airport
has received a telegram from the
area supervisor of the Civil Aeronautics Association asking for
the number of students they could

. TIME . MARCHES OUT!
Little clock upon the wall,
Can t 'cha keep the time at all ?
When your hands say 9 at night ,
Are you sure you 're really right ?
The other day I saw a sight
That made my heart leap up in
frigh t:
A vote was taken just to see
If you 'd remain — or cease to be!
Little clock upon the wall,
Your pending fate I would forest all ,
But now it isn 't hard to see
Just what the choice is going to be.
The ti m e has come, O little clock

To put an end to your tick-tock
So with a falling tear or two
I bid y ou timepiece, sad adieu.

Foiled Again

I can see me Easter morning
Starting off from home.
To church , to church I'm going
With my bonnet on my dome.
My corsage is slowly freezing;
The snow is coming in my shoes.
The wind blows never ceasing,
And I've really got the blues.
The crowd is far ahead of me;
They 're dressed for this cold weather.
I've only got a little way,
And we'll all be together.
I'm at the church steps standing;
Now finally I'm inside.
It's not such a safe landing ,
For to the floor I slide.
They 've told me what the cause
was,
But I still say "not right."
They say that I collapsed because
I had severe FROSTBITE!
(D. D.)

Now that the fireworks are over
and life is again calm and serene
here at B.R.H.P.O.P. (Bloomsburg

on the recent campaign. It was

drill only four one-half days each
week.
While serving in Camp Gordon,
he has met many college men like
himself and he finds much in common with them. It will be interesting for B. S. T. C. students to
note that he has become acquainted with several men who have
been staff members of various
school publications. One of these
acquaintances included a fellow
who had been editor of the University of Virginia 's student publication , similar to our "Olympian."
After comparing these two magazines, "Mouse " proudly claims that
the "Olympian " is much more
"literary. "
Like most American boys, Bob
does not especially care for army
lif e, but he intends to tolerate it
and make the best of it. He has
recently been promoted to private
first class and if he does his work
as well in the army as he did here
at B.S.T.C., we will soon have to
address him as Cpl. Canouse.
The members of the M. & G.
staff and the entire college community wish to take this opportunity to extend to "Bob" their
best wishes for a happy and suecessful future.

The passing of anoth^week's
competition in ' the "mep 's • intramural loops finds the Rambling
Wrecks still on top in the Amerircan division , while the Barons
have assumed undisputed leadership in the National setup.
The Rambling Wrecks kept setting the pace for the American
division teams, with wins over the
Globe Trotters, 22 to 18; and
Comets, 39 t o 22 . In other games
in this section, the Eight Balls
lost , 33 t o 32, to th e Glijbe Trotters in an extra period struggle.
The Eight Balls in turn subdued
the Commuter five, 19 to 18. The
only other game scheduled in this
loop was one which the Comets
forfeited to. the Globe Trotters,
2-0. The Eight Balls and Globe
Trotters have concluded their
season 's play. There are but two
games yet to be played in this
league; those match the Commuters against both the unwinning
Comets and the unlosing Rambling Wrecks.
Over in the National section ,
the Barons claimed first position
by virtue of their forfeit conquest
of the Wildcats. Their nearest rivals , the Harry E. Coalers, meanwhile were humbled by the Hoop
Cobras, 20-18. Schukis led the victors with 11 counters. This victory
put the Cobras in a three-way tie
for second position with the Coalers and Clowns. The Clowns turned in a 30-27 victory over the
Wildcats. In the only other game
played in the loop, the Wildcats
took the measure of the House of
8 Gables quintet , 23 to 19. The
Wildcats are the only team in this
league who have finished their
season; all other teams have two
games yet to play.
A summary of the standings of
the teams in both loops follows :

Locker ^B-Lingo
by Harry Brooks
Track and baseball practices are in full swing, but will have to
come to a temporary halt to make way for the Easter recess. Coaches
Redman and Shelly report that their respective squads , baseball and
tra ck , have a fine list of candidates to represent B.S.T.C. in the ensuing
spring sports. Cuts will be made shortly, and then the final teams will
be molded before the firs t games in the middle of next month.
Many apologies to Mr. Redman who was inadvertently labeled as
the Maroon and Gold basketball coach in last week's issue of this
column. Shelly , as we all know, and not Redman , is the head hoop
mentor.
Recently a letter was received by Mr. Shejly from Temple University inviting B.S.T.C. to take part in a double-header basketball fray
early next season. The second half of the bargain bill is to feature
LaSalle and St. Joseph's College, two other Philadelphia net powers.
Shelly replied willingly to the offer , and only a final contract from
Temple holds back the actual scheduling. This game will be the second
in three years between the two schools should it take place. In the last
meeting, the Temple Owls stopped the Shelly charges on the Centennial
Cou rt , 65 - 42.
The high school tournament has had some interesting battles in the
last several nights, but the attendance has been off from last years.
Probably the best game thus far was the tilt between Schuylkill Haven
and West Mahanoy Township. The latter team won the game in the
last two seconds, 45 - 44.
Lilli an Mlkvy, Bill's big sister, is proudly displaying LOOK and
COLLIER'S magazine around the campus. Both magazines feature
stories on th e top basketball performers for the 1950-51 campaign. Bill
also
is listed on the first teams of both of these top magazines. He was
selected as a member of the first five in the Associated Press poll of
writers and sports editors.

Shellymen Conclude Season with
68-57 Win Over Kutztown Teachers
Track and Field
Squ ad Opens Tough
Training Schedule
Coach Harold Shelly has moved
his 1951 edition of the Husky
track team outside and the track
and field sq uads are being speedily
rounded into shape before the
Easter recess.
The t h i n clads , sporting new
maroon swea t su i t s, can be fo u nd
every night traversing the circumference of the Navy Hall cinder
track. Each man is more or less
on his own and the work he puts
out can be seen in the kind of
physical condition that he is in.
Some of the runners have started
to take off the wraps and are beginning to open up a little as the
long, un used running muscles loosen up.
The field men, after working up
a good sweat, take a few easy lobs
with the shot , javelin , or discus,
conditioning their thrqwing-arms
as are the diamond aspirants over
in Ben Franklin gym.
Coach Shelly, in his second year
at the helm of the Huskies, fa ces
an eight-meet schedule beginning
on April 12, at Scranton University. He is banking on his veterans
to show the way ; that means
Frank Womer , Senior polevaulter;
Joe Feifer, Sophomore half-miler ;
Tommy Goodwin, Sophomore dashman; and Ben Burness, Junior
shot heaver. These men, m ain
point-getters of the 1950 squad,
will bear the, burden of the Husky
hopes in this season.
Many other veterans and newcomers are working out every day.
On the track we find veterans
John Swartz, Charlie Brennen, Hal
Hartley, and Bill Gilbert, backed
up by newcomers Skip Berry,
Stan Aagard, Mike disci, and
many others.
Moving over into the field , we
find veterans Chuck Baron, Guy
Germana , and Dave Evans in the
shot-put pits, with Russ Looker
and Al Eremich heaving the discus. Newcomers in the field events
include Tom Spack and Larry
Bernheart, in the j avelin-throwing, and possibly John Scrimagour
in the high jump. There are still
many positions open, and Coach
Shelly urges all those who are interest ed t o come ou t and st art
getting into shape.
The Shelly thinclads face a possible eight-meet schedule, including the famous Penn relays, which
will be held in Philadelphia on
April 27 and 28. The schedule
follows :

Daly Leads Scorers with
23 Points as Huskies End
Season with a 9*7 Record

The 1950-51 Husky aggregation
opened up the cage season with a
53-44 win over Wilkes College.
The game was played in WilkesBarre and marked the formal
openings of the loser's new gym.
Butler paced the Shellymen with
17 points.
Lock Haven administered the
Maroon and Gold's first defeat by
scoring a shocking 70.45 victory at
Lock Haven. The Bald Eagles
poured in shots from all angles
and the Huskies were forced to
take their first loss.
Sparked by the play of reserve ,
Al Willi ams , the Teacher 's College
pulled one of the major upsets of
the young cage season, by dumping a highly favored Millersville
team 62-58). The game was played
at Centennial Gymnasium. The
Nanticoke athlete tossed in two
long goals to start the fire that
opened Bloom 's attack. Byham
and Banull hit the double figures
for the Huskies as they collected
17 and 10 points respectively.
.Big Moose JN azigan or west
Chester k was responsible for the
Huskies second loss as he dumped
in 18 markers to pace his team in
a 62-58 triumph. Bloom garnered
23 goals to their opponents 21, but
West Chester had 29 foul attempts, making 20, while the Shellymen made 12 out of 15. Reliable
Dave Linkchorst led the loser's
with 15 points.
The Bald Eagles of Lock Haven
racked up their second victory at
the expense of the Shellymen by
the score of 62-32 at Centennial
Gymnasium. This contest was similar to the firs t in that Bloom failed to find the range while the
visitors were hotter than ever.
Coach Shelly's Huskies lost a
hard-fought game to a taller Shippensburg quintet on Jan. 9th of
this year 64 - 59. The game was
played on the winder 's court.
Chuck "'Daly took scoring honors
with 19 counters.
The Maroon and Gold quintet
traveled to Millersville on Jan. 13,
and found themselves on the short
end of the score , 70-55. The winners j umped off to a good lead
and managed to increase it for
the victory.
A four game losing streak was
broken by the Huskies when they
won over a determined Harpur
five 75-68 at Centennial Gymnasium. Walt Banull and Bob Andrews played their final game before they graduated on January
18. Bloom scored 26 points to
their opponents 13 in the third
period which provided the necessary margin needed for victory.
Bob Chubb, six'-nine" Shippensburg center, dropped in 26 points
to lead the Red Raiders to a 57-56
win over Bloom. After a brilliant
start that saw five of the first six
shots register and help produce a
12-2 lead the Huskies ran into a
bad streak of shooting that saw
the ball do everything but make
the nets jump. Byham and Butler
sparked the Huskies with 15 and
11 markers respectively.
Don Butler and Jim Thompson
wore their shooting clothes and
led the Husky cagers to a 72-66
win over Mansfield on the Mountaineer floor. This marked the
Shellymen's fourth win in ten
starts. Butler pumped in 26 points
while Thompson had 19.
In a return engagement at Centennial Gym, Bloom again defeated a Mansfield team 85-69. Just
as in the firs t game between the
two colleges. Butler led his mates
by dropping in 27 points. Maxon
led the visitors with 27 counters
and got a good round of applause
from the fans when he left the
game in the final quarter.
Danny Boychuck's bucket in the
last minute of play decided a hard
fough t contest at Kutztown as the
Huskies won out 52-50. Bloom was
down at one time by 21 points but
managed to overcome the deficit
and finish on top.
The Teachers College went into
an overtime period before downIng Harpur College at Endicott,
New York, for their fourth straight
victory, by a 72-70 margin. Two
field goals by Don Butler, one by
Chuck Daly, and a foul toss by
Dave Linkchorst nosed the Huskies out in front at the end of the
overtime.
Indiana visited our campus and
wound up on the long end of the
score 78-64. The Westerners grabbed an early lead and were never
headed. Their extra height was a
decided asset as they recorded a
win over a determined Husky five .
The Huskies passed the .500
mark by overwhelming a Wilkes
College team 85 - 69 on the winners' court. The season's record

Mr. Edward T. De Voe, of the
English department, is the author
of a n a r ticle on stone masonry
which was published in the March
9 issue of the magazine Pennsylvania Farmer. The article describes the cutting of stone for a
fireplace which Mr. De Voe built
from native field stone at Christmas Hill , where he and Mr. Earl
A. Gehri g share ownership in a
recr ea tion cente r , together with
Dr. Willi am P. Bond, of Espy.
Four pictures taken by the author
accompany the article.
When he set ou t to b u ild th e
fireplace, Mr. 'De Voc had no experience in cutting stone, so he
asked a stone mason for advice.
"There's nothing to it ," he was
told. "All you need is the proper
tools and a lot of practice." In explaining how to crack the stones ,
the stone mason said, "Just hit
'em. In about two weeks you'll
know all there is to know."
Another article by Mr. De Voe,
"Housebrcaking the Orchid , " an
account of Mr. Harold Lanterman 's success in raising orchids at
home by scientifically controlling
temperature and humidity, will
appear in a forthcoming issue of
the same magazine.

We all look forward to the semester when we start our student
teaching. Will we like it? The
question for this week was directed to student teachers. What do
you think about student teaching?
Has it changed your opinion about
the teaching profession ?
James Arnold — It is the practical application of what has been
learned in college, and it makes
the college courses less drudgery
now. The teaching profession seems
much better now that I know
what it is in reality .
Charles Lewis—Since beginning
my student teaching my viewpoints h ave changed considerably.
I have Cound that the teacher
must do much more studying than
the student. If a student could
do his teaching first, we would
probably have much better students in the college classroom.
Hervey Thomas—Student teaching helps you realize how much
you haven 't learned in college. The
problem looks more attractive to
me th an it ever did before.
John Yeager — I enjoy student
teaching and have learned more
in teaching than I did in my three
years in college. I think teaching
is an excellent profession.
Harold Emmitt—My experience
as a student teacher has made me
realize how little I know about
subj ect matter, as compared to
how much is required to impress
ideas on the students ' minds. The
teaching profession has provided
me with a challenge to do my best
with a group of students.
Beverly Cole—Student teaching
has proved to be an incentive to
me to go on learning and studying. It has made me realize how
vit ally important education is,
both for the teacher and for the
student. And, as for the profession, I have acquired a much
greater respect for it, in addition
to recognizing the reasons for its
weaknesses. I think teaching has
challenged me to a degree that
many other professions could not.
B arbara Johnson — Student
teaching has proved to be the
most interesting and challenging
experience of college. It has given
me a greater appreciation of the
profession.
