The Ward Fund

The Ward Fund was established
by alumni and students who worked in the college dining room while
Miss Irma Ward was dietitian
(1924-1939). Through the years
Miss Ward had been in the habit
of making small loans of money
to students. Therefore, after her
sudden death here at college, it
was decided that a suitable memorial to her would bo a loan fund
to help students who migh t need
a small sum of money for a short
time to meet an emergency , The
Fund has been increased during
recent years by gifts from individuals and organizations. Application s for loans should be made to
the Dean of Women who is acting
as Treasurer for the Ward Fund.

Alumni Dinner Is
Held by Columbia
Alumni Assoc ia tion

More th an seventy members of
the Columbia County Branch of
the Bloomsburg State Teachers
College Alumni Association attended the annual dinner meeting
held in the college dining room,
Saturday, Nov. 1.
After dinner, the group adj ourned to the Women 's Day Room in
Noetling Hall to hmr an address
by Herbert E. Stover, of Lavonia,
Pa. Mr. Stover is a well-known
lecturer and author. In his addr ess, Mr. Stover pointed out the
facts of historical interest which
stem from this particular region.
In his opinion, Conrad Weiser was
a more romantic figure than Daniel Boone in the early history of
this country. His address was later
broad cast over radio stations
WHLM and WCNR.
A short business meeting preceded Mr. Stover's address. Dr.
Elna H. Nelson, president of the
B.S.T.C. Alumni Association, was
called upon for a few brief remarks. Dr. Andruss extended
greetings to the group.
Miss Elsie Bower, college librarian, was in charge of general
arrangements, assisted by Edward
D. Sharretts, of the college staff.
Dinner music was provided by
Miss Myra Sharpless and John
Bogdan, college students. Mrs.
Earl A. Gehrig and Mrs. Edward
T. De Voe poured at the get-together in the Day Room.
Officers, which include Edward
T. De Voe, president; Donald Rabb,
Benton , vice president; Paul Brunstetter, treasurer ; and Edward D.
Sharretts, secretary, were reelected for the coming year. The president explained to the group how
contributions could be made directly to the Columbia County
Branch. If members of the Alumni
Association residing in Columbia
County would pay their dues directly to the treasurer of the
Columbia County Branch, the local group might retain twenty-five
percent of all monies received as
dues for its own treasury. On
Alumni Day, the Columbia County
Branch will arrange to have a
reoresentative in Noetling Hall to
collect dues from alumni residing
in the county.

Had you been up early on Saturday morning and had you occasion
to pass through Noetling Hall, you could not have missed this sign outside the Speech and Hearing Clinic:

speech an*d hearing

Parent's Corner
Toys for Christmas
The arrow underneath the sign pointed the way to the clinic where
many fascinating things were taking pface.
Perhaps you are not aware that ours is one of two State Teachers
Colleges in Pennsylvania certified to give this speech work—the other
being California S.T.C. in the western part of the state. So, in order
that you will no longer be in the dark on this subject, we invite you to
be our guests in the clinic via the Maroon and Gold.
First of all, let's visit the Parent's Corner. Here you'll find some
of the students, among them Mary Ann Martz, taking care of the
mothers and fathers of the children enrolled in the speech clinic. You
may even find some of them cast in the role of baby sitters, for these
students do everything they can to make this learning process as easy
as possible for all concerned , and that means parents too.
While we're here, we can have a look at the educational toys we read
about on the sign outside the door. Although Jim Ciavaglia is very busy
with many of the details involved in this work, he has saved time to
brief us on just what is the purpose of many of these toys. Many of
them are of psychological value in that they teach color association ,
hand and eye co-ordination , and other practical skills which are associated with speech skills, such as tying shoes. This ,is a particularly
interesting toy which represents the nursery rhyme of the "Old Woman
Who Lived In the Shoe" and had so many children she didn 't know
what to do. All the children must be placed in the shoe and then , in
order to keep them there, the child laces and ties the shoe. Also included in this set are "The House that Jack Built" and a Sailor Boy
Peg Boat, both of which teach putting things in proper sequence and
place.
Without leaving the room, we can observe some of our B.S.T.C.
students engaged in helping youngsters solve the problems which could
some day become very serious both physically and psychologically. In
most cases, each child has an individual teacher. The relaxed atmosphere in this room is perhaps the most striking example of friendly
teacher-pupil relationships you'll ever see. None of the children seem
nervous or afraid of the tests they are being given or of the machines
they are using. They play just as freely as you would expect them to
do in their own playroom at home.
Some of these students must learn the proper sounds of words. In
order to do this, they play with toys that represent words employing
that particular sound , and work with their teacher in a corner by themselves. This eliminates any embarrassment that might occur in a
flaRsrnom situation .

Some of the very deafened children are hearing for the first time the
different animal sounds. This is done by means of an Auditory Training
unit which Bob Von Drach tells us is coordinated with a picture book
called "What's Its Name?" The child colors the picture and says the
name of the animal ; then lie listens to the sound of the animal (which
can be amplified in the event that hearing is defective ) and plays with
a toy representing the animal. By this time the children arc ready to
play the game of putting the animals in the barn. Only when the
an ima l's correct name is given by the child will the barn door open.
Although Miss Weir has plenty of things to do, including consultations with the parents, guidance of the work being done by the student
teach ers, talking with the children , and arranging the work of the
clinic, she still finds time to tell visitors about what goes on in the clinic.
The clinic is held in the Training School on Tuesday from 2 p.m. until
3 p.m. when eighteen children are in the class; then , from 3 p.m. until
A p.m., we find that seventeen college students take advantage of this
train ing. Again on Saturday morning from 9 a.m. until 10 a.m. the
clinic serves twenty youngsters who come from as near as Bloomsburg
and as far as Shickshinny to attend. The ages of the students enrolled
range from three years to adults. They are accepted on the basis of
articulation and voice reports; those with the most serious defects being
admitted first. There is also an effort to get as many different types
of cases as possible. The length of time that the student will attend
depends on what the problem is and the progress made in eliminating it.
Now shall we move around a bit and see what the different teachers
are doing. Jim Doty, seems well pleased with the progress the little girl
he is teaching is making toward clearer speech.. In this case, lack of
co-ordination and voice distortion have resulted from cerebra l palsy.
The problem confronting Nancy Heebner is somewhat different in
that her student must learn to use words correctly without the aid of
hearing. Another similar case is that of a very young child who must
he taught to speak from the very beginning without the use of natural
hoaring. However, there is a great deal of fear to be conquered before
the actual learning can take place as the child is afraid of the earphones
and very fearful that his parents will leave him while the tests and
instruction are being given, But, according to Peggy Lou Noll, he is
definitely making progress, which is further evidence of the fine job
being done by the Speech Department.
Before the hour ends, we must visit the recording room. Here we
ilnd Jim Lesser instructing a child in reading by the use of pictures
which represent certain sounds in which the child is weak. The sounds

The air was thick with more than Maryland wood smoke on Sunday
last, as pigskins filled the firmament , and the college hills rang to the
j oyous shouts of assorted manhood pawing the earth in friendly games
of "tag" football. The combination of warm, if misty, weather, and the
end of examinations put the same thoughts into the heads of the hairychested crew and one and all headed for Mount Olympus with gleaming
eyes and clenched teeth. Men who ordinarily get little more exercise
than tying a tie once a month or tilting a sudsy glassful now and then
girded up their loins and dug in, holding that line to the last inch.
At least four game§ were in progress, including a full size contest
played according to rules laid down by Coach Joe Kissinger, who is
reputed to know someone who once played tag according to rules. This
particular game was officiated by referees Mai Smith, Bob Cummins,
and Jim Browning, who were in there to pick up eyes gouged out and
keep track of lost teeth and toes and whatnot, and time the thirty-

Along the sidelines head cheerleaders Betty Hoover and Shirley
Fisher led the student cheering section, which incidentally was made
up by students of Ben Franklin Training School, thousands strong.
These same students were so worked up emotionally by the close battle
on the gridiron that it was not uncommon to find them dashing about
on the playing field. However, a sweeping end run or two called by the
alert quarterbacks remedied this condition admirably.
The followers of tackle football , who claim that tag is sissy stuff
meant for girls' finishing schools, need only to interview a few of the
many who fill the lists of the injured, such as Joltin ' Joe Feifer or
Muddled Moe Morrison, to have this viewpoint flung limp in a corner.
It is not quest for learning, for instance, that causes Dave Newbury to
sit on the edge of his seat in class this week. Awed children lately go
to Mount Olympus on quiet nights to listen to the echoes of grunts and
sounds of bones under stress which still play about the bleachers, and
will probably entertain starry-eyed grandchildren in the dim future with
tales of bravery on the field of battle by the stalwarts of B.S.T.C.
Seriously, it is gratifying to find weekend activi ties in progress, even
if they are impromptu, and if this Saturday or Sunday the weather is
clear and crisp, follow the crowds to Mount Olympus for another football
classic of 1952.

The week before the big game finds the tension mounting both at
'*¦ the West Chester camp and here at home on our own campus. To date,
li West Chester is undefeated , and has emassed such powerful prestigegaining scores as 74 points scored against a potent Lock Haven eleven ,
and fi fty points against a Kutztown grid squad, which held New Haven
? to a slim one point victory earlier this season. The Rams have also
rapped several other strong foes, including perenially powerful University of Delaware. This, in addition to the fact that they have won almost
i thi rty consecutive home contests over a span of close to six years,
really puts the pressure on the Killinger aggregation. They also have
in the back of th eir minds that 16-7 loss to the Huskies last year, and
will be.peeking revenge—and then some.
At Bloomsburg, the story is not much different. Jack Yohe's M a roon
and Gold gridd ers have recovered from their two bad weeks at Scranton
and California to whip a good New Haven club last week at home for
I their 26th straight local triumph . Then too, B.S.T.C. can still win the
State Teachers crown by dumping the Golden Rams and Lock 'Haven
i rhe following week. Head Coach Jack Yohe has an additional bit of
\ pressure next week when his charges j ourney to West Chester. He will
• • pit his Husky forces against his former boss, Glenn Killinger. So we
\ see that there are two great pressure areas in the state football camps
; this week , and th e whole thing will finally come to a head on the nigh t
of November 14th at West Chester. Will You be there to support the
I Hu skies ?
Should the weather be favorable for the coming classic, a crowd of
close
to ten thousand should witness the game which may well decide
; who will
be the next State Teachers grid champ. At the present time,
Shippensburg leads the pack, but is not likely to win the champ ionship
\ even though they appear destined to go undefeated. Of course , should
they not win the crown , it is their own fault. After being beaten by
I California and Bloomsburg regularly for the past four to six years, the
; Red Raiders decided to call it quits and lighten their schedule. Now
; down in central Pennsylvania they are crying the blues because they
think they have a good team and they don't have a chance to play
Bioorn or some of the other stronger teacher teams such as West
: Chester, and Clarion. Perhaps they finally learned a lesson. You can't
impress anyone unless you first impress good opposition. They haven 't
any good opposition yet this year. They barely squeezed by East
had
I
Stroudsburg 14-7; who by the way, is finding it difficult to win a game
in the conference.
;
West Chester had almost half a dozen scouts in the stands during
last week's game with New Haven. Let's hope they need all the inz- formation they got. Someone reports that they even took movies of the
battle. It looks as though they really want to win this game in a great
: big way. While their scouts were watching the Huskies dump New
: Haven , West Chester was pasting the fallen Golden Avalanche of Kutz; town 50-0. The Rams ran their point total of 165 scored in the last three
\; games, or an average of 55 points scored per game. No one can deny an
offense like that !
:
A visitor from Adelphi College who was in the press box last week
making a scouting report on New Haven, who Adelphi plays later in
the campaign remarked that B.S.T.C. has one of the better small college
:¦ ball clubs he has seen all year. Adelphi was a victim of Scranton too.

Huskies Defeat New Haven
For 25th Consecutive Win

After two successive winless week-ends on the road , the charges of
Coach Jack Yohe returned to their home field last Saturday afternoon to
record a hard-fough t 22-12 decision over a strong New Haven (Conn.)
Teachers College team before a crowd of 2000 partisan fans. In winning,
the Huskies raised their consecutive home winning skein to 25 games,
the second longest home winning streak in the State. (West Chester,
Husky host a week hence , has gone 29 games at home without suffering
a defe at.)
Huskies Score Early
Making their last home appearance of the year, the Huskies jumped
off to an early fourteen-point lead with a flurry of offensive fireworks in
the early moments of the first quarter. The Huskies marched 66 yards
to score the second time they got their hands on the ball. New Haven
took the opening kick-off but was forced to kick after being stopped
cold by the Maroon and Gold defense. The Husky offense found the
going equally as rough, and also were forced to kick. The Owls again
had trouble with the stubborn Husky defense, and the resulting kick
sailed out-of-bounds on the Maroon and Gold 34-yard line. This time
the home forces wasted little time as they marched the remaining 66
y ards in 11 plays for their initial T.D. The score being reg i stered on an
11 yard pass from Linkchorst to "Bo" Rainey who caught the ball on
the goal line and stepped into the end zone. Link's try f or the extra
point was good and the Huskies led 7-0.
Osevala Breaks Loose
The Huskies wasted little time in tallying their second score. The
New Englander took the ensuing kick-off and again were forced to punt ,
the Huskies taking over on their own 35. With "Bo" Rainey and Bernie
Mont carrying the mail, the Huskies moved to a first down on their
own 46. A short pass—Linkchorst to Verhousky—moved the ball across
the mid-field stripe, and on 4th down with one yard to go for a first
down, OsevaJa hit off right tackle on a routine line buck, broke to the
outside and out-legged the Owl's secondary the remaining 45 yards to
score the second touchdown for the Huskies. Linkchorst again converted,
and the Huskies led 14-0.
ff ew Haven Rebounds
The visiting Owls took little time in getting back into the ball game,
marching 68 yards following the next kick-off for their initial score.
Short passes were the keynote in this drive with the New Haven
quarterback consistently hitting his big ends with bullet passes just
over the line of scrimmage for important yardage. The pay-off play was
a one yard smash off-tackle. The attempted try at placement failed, and
the Husky lead melted to 14-6.
Verhousky Sparkles
The remainder of the first half saw play see-saw back and forth in the
vicinity of mid-field , with the defensive play holding the spotlight. With
less than a minute to go, Linkchorst heaved a long spir al inten ded f or
Verhousky. Russ was well-covered, however, and as he leaped in the
air for the catch there were two Owl defenders clinging to his outstretched arms. By some miraculous twisting and turning the lanky
end snagged the ball and squirmed away from the two defenders only
to lose his balance and fall to the turf on the visitors 6 yard line. The
first half ended with this play as also did a very excellent Husky scoring
ch ance.
Defensive Lapse
An old trick led to the second score for the revitalized New Engi ander 's following the intermission. The Huskies were asleep on the
kickoff opening the second half as an on-side kick by the visitors was
downed by a wise Owl on the Huskies 35 yard line. The short passes
again proved fatal to the Maroon and Gold cause and in no time at all
the Owls were deep in Husky territory. A quarterback sneak provided
the scoring punch from the one yard line. The attempted kick for the
extra-point sailed wide and the Huskies lead was narrowed to 14-12.
Defense Atones Itself
Throughout the second half , the Huskies couldn't generate quite
enough offensive spark to produce another score but through some hard
defensive play added an additional touchdown and a bonus safety. The
touchdown was the result of a pvuat that Verhousky blocked deep in
New Haven territory. Chubby DiPaulo, Maroon and Gold pivot-man,
covered the ball in the visitors end zone to get credit for the score.
Link's attempt for the extra point failed but the Huskies had secured a
more comfortable margin, now leading 20-12. The New Englander 's
began to throw passes in j ob lots, and with time running out , the Owl's
passer was smeared for a lon g loss, the baJl squirting from his hand
and bounding crazily toward the New Haven goal line. The ball was
finally downed in the end zone for a safety by an alert New Englander
and the Huskies had two more points. Play ended shortly and the
Huskies again returned to the victory trail 22-12.

Rumors are flying . . .
It should be noted publicly that Judith Fry, popular C.G.A. secret a ry, has received a touching letter from one of the former prominent
students of B.S.T.C. He is now stationed in Samson, New York , and
anyone wishing to acquire his full address may do so by contacting Miss
Fry, whose box number is 126. The name of the gentleman, incidentally,
is Pf c. William Wagner—better known around our campus as "SUITCASE SAM."

Hi

Don 't anyone move . . .
Recently, while on a visit from Berwick, student teacher, Rittenmeyer, had a sum of money stolen from his trousers while he was in
, the Centennial gymnasium. Investigation is being conducted by Ace
Detective, John Johnson. Remember, students, while speaking to Mr.
Johnson — be careful! Anything you say may be held against you as
discriminating evidence.
Mr. Rittenm eyer, by the way, stated that the money had no particular value, but that its absence was most conspicuous on his Wednesday
night date.

A certain individual from Nebraska, whose name I will withhold ,

Norma , incidentally, will be leaving us in January to graduate from
Nebraska University in May. Confused? Norma 's home is in Nebraska ,
but it. appears that 1500 miles were no obj ect when it meant being close
to a town not far from Bloomsburg. Still confused ? SEE NORMA!

Diamonds, diamonds everywhere! Look at the third finger, left

Rumor has it that several other couples plan to start mining shortly.
Here 's luck — to all of you — hope you strike it rich !

Dear Dave . . .
In regard to your recent remark about the girls running faster to
get int o the dining room at night, I, too, have noticed a marked change.
BUT , what can you expect when the boys have traded in their white
bucks Cor spiked shoes — can you blame the girls for running ?

matching red shoes.
Jersey blouses also help make
interesting costumes because of its
changeability. Nira McCormick,
playing checkers in a moss green
j ersey with a V-neckllne held fas1
by two gold safety pins was attracting a lot of attention.
Pat O'loughlin came to class
with a navy skirt topped off with
a white j ersey blouse, The short
.sleeves and collar have navy trim
to match the straight skirt. White
buttons stand at attention on the
navy strin which runs from collar

College student body is made up
of students from five states —
Pennsylvania , New York , New

Many students wonder where
the athletic teams got their nickname the Huskies. Well, it happened in this way. Former professor, now lion tamer, George
Keller had a little Husky pup, and
when the school was choosing a
mascot , they kept Keller 's dog in
mind . After ruling out early suggestions, the husky was finally
chosen.

are recorded for future study and comparison , which makes it possible
to measure progress. When Jim played back the record , the expression
on tho child' s face made the work that went into the process well worth
while.
Bill Bartleson is j ust beginning to work with a new student in tho
clinic and so the work he is doing illustrates the preliminary steps to
find just what the trouble is and what needs to be done first. After
making the recording, Bill tells us he must then check those sounds on
whi ch the child needs help. The next step is to find one of the easiest
sounds to make and develop it by use of nonsense syllables, words with
that sound in different positions, and then using the sounds in sentences.
At that time, another recording will be made and studied ; then , he will
take up a new sound.
Before we leave — j ust a word to the twenty-four clinicians — keep
up the fine work.
