85th Anniversar y
Of Normal School
To Be Celebrated

It was a fortunate day for the
residents of Bloomsburg when J. P.
Wickersham, State Superintendent
of Public Instruction , passed
through this town on a fall morning in the year 1867. For it was
then the Superintendent realized
the ideal location of the Bloomsburg Literary Institute for a State
Normal School. Upon returning to
Bloomsburg, Dr. Wickersham expressed that opinion and, on March
9, 1868, a resolution was adopted
stating an agreement to establish
a State Normal School.
, On February 19, 1869 , the school
was formally recognized as the
Bloomsburg State Normal School
and! Literary Institute. This was
the beginning of teacher education
in Bloomsburg.
When, in May, 1927, Dr. G. C. L.
Riemer, President of the Bloomsburg State Normal School returned from a Harrisburg visit, he
brought with him the news that
Bloomsburg State Normal School
was now Bloomsburg State Teachers College. Bloomsburg has indeed grown from the original Literary Institute.
In 1934 , the first class matriculating as freshmen in the Department of Commerce in 1930 was
graduated and found ready placement in the high schools of Pennsylvania and adjoining states. Since
that time thousands of students
have graduated from Bloomsburg
and have entered the teaching profession.
Therefore on Feb. 19 eighty-five
years of service as a teacher-education institution will be recognized when the Bloomsburg State
Teachers College will celebrate the
Eighty-fifth Anniversary of the
chartering of the Normal School of
the Sixth District at Bloomsburg.
Along with appropriate exercises
commemorating the anniversary of
teacher education, the College will
also dedicate the lighting of the
clock tower of Carver Hall to the
former students who made the
supreme sacrifice in World War II.
Dr. Francis B. Haas, a former
president of the College and now
State Superintendent of Public Instruction, will be among those who
will speak during the program now
being planned for the event. Dean
Emeritus William Boyd Sutliff , Elna H. Nelson, president of the
Alumni Association, and Reg. S.
Hemingway, Esq., president of the
Board of Trustees, are also included on the program.
President Harvey A. Andruss
said that plans for the celebration
have almost been completed. Alumni visitors to the college campus
won't recognize the old gathering
places of their student days. They
will find the last watering-place,
the old gym, completely transformed. A beautiful new fireplace
has been situated against a wall
of knotty pine panels. In front of
these new additions, a modern
sunken lounge has been constructed, with furniture arranged so as
to face the huge screen of the new
television set. The elevated section
remains the same, but looks down
on a maroon and green tile floor .
A touch of paint has been added to
other sections, giving them an entire new look. Prospective freshmen and visitors will be able to
find the a d m i n i s t r a t i v e offices
much more easily now, since they
will be moved to the remodeled
rooms in Carver Hall.
There will be an Open House in
Carver Hall from 2:30 until 4:30
Friday afternoon for students. The
newly-constructed offices will be
open for inspection at that time .
Following cafeteria dinner for students at 5:00 p.m., the Columbia
County Alumni will have their annual dinner in the College dining
room at 6:15 o'clock.
Dr, Andruss said that members
of the Board of Trustees and Gold
Star parents will be guests of the
College for the alumni dinner. Fol(continued on page 6)

Registration of
Pro jectionists

All projectionists of motion picture films must be register ed by
the Department of Labor and Industry of the Commonwealth of
Penna., in Harrisburg. As far as
we in Bloomsburg are concerned,
there are two classes of licenses:
Class B—for auditorium projection
of entertainment pictures; class D
— for pr oj ection of educational
films in the classroom.
For an auditorium license it will
be necessary to pay a fee of $3.
and the projectionist must take an
examination conducted by the Department of Labor and Industry.
This includes the showing of motion p ictures in the auditorium on
Friday nights.
it is planned that men working
in the Audio-Visual Aids library
will be licensed to show pictures.
They are Richard Deets, Will ard
Snyder, and Jack Bushey. Mr.
Henry will also secure a license.
All students and teachers showing pictures of an educational nature in the classroom must be registered with the Department of
Labor and Industry . No charge is
made for registration and a card is
issued which is valid for two years.
As a requirement in the Audio-Visual Education course, all students
must register. No examination will
be given, but students must be in
a school where Audio-Visual Education is a part of the school curriculum.

Husky Hardwooders
Subdue Mansfield

The hardwood Huskies kept to
their winning ways by dropping
the Mansfield Mountaineers, 89-74,
before a partisan crowd in Centennial Gym. Saturday 's victory gave
the College Hill lads a five and
one record and third place in the
Teachers College standings.
The game was a onesided affair
throughout, with the visitors coming to within five points of the
Huskies only once. In four minutes
Bloom built a 11-1 lead, which they
held until the end of the first
period. Joe Linkoski, the Mountaineer center, scored eleven poin ts
in the first quarter to help hi s
team move to within six counters
of the Huskies at the end of the
period. In the second quarter Jerry
Kopec was a constant threat to the
Mansfield defense as "he scored repeatedly on drive-ins. Although
Bloom controlled both boards, they
couldn't stop Linkoski from keeping the visitors in the game with
his scoring efforts. The Wyoming
Valley product was high man for
the evening with 24 points, followed by t he Hu skies "Jittery " Joe
Ondrula who had 19, and Len
Kozick and Jerry Kopec each with
18.
Husky coach , Harold Shelly,
used his reserve strength in the
second half , to good advantage,
and Bloom started to run away
with the game. "Mighty Mo" Mqrson excelled on rebounds while
also chipping in seventeen points
to help the cause. It was Morson,
scoring on hook shots, that gave
the Huskies a 68-54 edge at the
third quarter.
In the final period the Mountaineers threatened but could pull to
within only nine points of the
Shellymen. It was Morson again
picking off the rebounds as the
Huskies compiled a fifteen point
lead , and won going away. The
final score was 89-74 in favor of
the Huskies.

Huskies had an easy time with

93-70. Joe Ondrula led the pack
with 20 while his teammates Betz,
Kozick, Kopec, and Morson also
hit for double figures. Mike Yelovich and Len Sawder had 33 between them for the losers.
In the first period the only
threat to the Huskies was Lenny
Sawder and his perfected jumpshot off the foul circle. He hit five
for five in the first period. Mike
Yelovich , who was high man, didn't
connect until later but he was
consistent in his rebounding. Most

Huskies Suffer
Second Loss at
Hands of Rams

West Chester's highly-touted
Golden Rams stopped the winning
streak of the Bloomsburg Teachers
at six Saturday night on the hardwoods of the Centennial Gym by •
an 80-72 count. West Chester was
in command of the scoring from
the opening tap-off , and maintained
a comfortable lead throughout the
game to the extent that the Huskies were never a real threat until
the last three ' minutes of play
when they started to peck away
at an eighteen-point West Chester
lead.
As advertised, Teddy Beck, a
six-foot-five center, and little Junie
Rich were the big guns in the
scoring column. The point-getting
laurels of the evening, however,
went to an unexpected starter in
the Emil Messikomer lineup, Karl
Schaffer, a six-foot-four .forward
who took the locals to task for no
less than 27 points. Beck and Rich
each had over twenty.
Jerry Kopec was the only Husky
who was hitting with consistency
for the evening as he ended up '
with 18 points. Joe Ondrula had
sixteen, and Freddy Betz, 13.
The Huskies couldn't penetrate
the R ams' defense to cause any
concern in the first half. Karl *
Schaffer and Teddy Beck each had
three fouls on them at the end of
the first quarter, but managed to
stay in the game until the fourth
quarter when Beck got the fatal
fif th.
Rebounding and foul shooting
played an all-important part in the
victory for the Chester County
Tutors as they dumped in 23 for 26
at the free throw line and controlled both the defensive and offensive boards throughout. Orily
Jerry Kopec, the Forty Fort flash ,
could get any rebounds off the
West Chester boards.
This victory knocked the Huskies from second place in the Teachers College conference; they may
have been replaced by the victorious West Chester five.

The young city lawyer was about
to vacation with his family at their
country cottage. But one thought
plagued him. So many friends and
relatives had visited him at his
cottage in previous summers that
his budget had snapped and rest
was impossible. With this in mind
he wired 30 people who had been
his guests: "Am strapped for
money. Need $300 badly. Please
forward same immediately."
In all he harvested 30 new alibis
which he read with relish while
enj oying his first vacation in years.

SPORTS SCUTTLEBUTT
by BILL BITNER
CHEYNEY, GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP . . .

Take each game in the order they come. That has been the system
employed this season by Coach Harold Shelly in the quest of the Teachers College Basketball crown, and it has proved to be successful to date.
On Febr uary 3, it was Cheyney Teachers at Cheyney, a tough game for
any team. As a general rule, Cheyney is tough at home no matter what
calibre of team they may field. The Cheyney gym is about as long as
the Centennial Gym is wide, and the court is the stage for their auditorium. Cheyney has proved to be the friendliest of the teams we have
visited thus far. After the game they invited us to their student lounge
for a lunch, which even filled Bush up; that's really going some!
The thing that impressed us the most was the singing of the Alma
Mater after the game. Students, faculty, and even the team remained
in the auditorium, locked hands with each other and sang what seemed
to be about four verses of a very beautiful spiritual-like arrangement.
During the game, which at times was as close as three points and was
as exciting as any we have seen here on College Hill, Cheyney had a
number of fouls called against them. At this time we never heard any
remarks directed at the officials from this highly enthusiastic jthrong;
a complete silence fell over them when any Husky was on the foul line.
We hope the local faithful will try and return that courtesy when they
visit Bloomsburg.
TOURNAMENT TIME . . .
Plans have been laid for one of the leading events on the athletic
calendar, the annual High School Invitation Basketball Tournament,
which is scheduled to get under way the first weekend in March. The
Tournament Director, Mr. John Hoch, originated this very popular event
a few seasons back, and the event has rrtoshroomed in size until the
Class C division this year is expected to entertain a record 16 teams.
The qualifying round of this division will get under way March 5 and 6.
The first Class A and B tilts have been held off the schedule until the
12th and 13th in order to allow time for the District Playoffs in the
PIAA to gain momentum. Invitation feelers have been sent to 125 teams
within a 50-mile radius of the Bloomsburg area in order to determine
how many teams are interested in applying for entrance in the postseason tournament.
The semi-finals and finals will be run on* on the nights of March 17
and 18 respectively. The finals or Night of Champion as it has been
tabbed in the past, will see the crowning of the champions in each
division and the selecting of the all-tournament team of ten players
from all classes. In addition to an all-tournament team, an outstanding
player is chosen. Last season Frank Ramrio of Weatherly, whose team
also won the Class A division, was selected as the outstanding player in
the tournament; this year Frank is an outstanding member of the
frosh squad at Steton Hall.
Three members of this seaon's Huskies team were selected on the
all-tournament teams of past years. In 1950, Jerry Kopec was picked
while playing with the Forty Fort Flyers. In 1952, Harv Boughner of
Trevorton was worthy of the selection, and last year, Len Kozick of
Dallas Township got the nod for his outstanding play. Danny Boychuck
was a selection in the '49 tournament, and came back to College Hill
to follow up with four years of varsity play for the Huskies.
Another phase of this basketball circus is the cheerleader awards. .
Each basketball team is followed not only by their hometown fans, but
their fellow students — the cheerleaders. Awards have been given each
season for the originality and performance of these leather-lunged followers; the competition becomes quite interesting.
After placing some flowers on
a grave, a man noticed a Chinese
placing a bowl of rice on a nearby
grave. He asked cynically : "When
do you expect your friend to come
up and eat that rice?" The Chinese replied: "The same time your
friend comes up to smell your
flowers. "

Undee- Cutoewk ?

? ? ? ?
by Arnie Garinger

U. C. would like to make this edition as interesting as possible because the paper will probably come out before the marks go home and
everyone should have all the enj oyment they can before father cuts off
the spending money. So everyone says, "I'll study real hard next semester." It's just like one of the guy s said the other night. We mess
around all semester and then when we get the marks we deserve, we're
angry. Ain't it the truth!
B.S.T.C. may have its Roongo, but North Hall has its own mascot.
An ole houn' dawg. His picture was even in. the paper and nobody
claimed him. He lives behind our closet door (much to Derk's dismay),
sleeps on a pile of old test papers, and wakes everyone up for 8 o'clock
classes . I hope by the time the paper comes out, we've found him a
home because I believe somewhere In the Bloomsburg code of ethics,
there's a policy governing dogs in Hoch's Haven.
Ten Shun! Bloomsburg High students! Ondrula's pictures are in
and go on sale in the Waffle Grill on Valentine's Day. Wear heavy
clothing to avoid brush burns in the rush.
I hate to be the type to finally give in to someone, but ; George Derk !
There, I said it, I used your name, now can I have me toothbrush, car
keys, and underwear back? I know this type of thing wastes paper, but
you don 't know how it is living with liim if he's unhappy.
I was asked to tell about a fellow from Johnstown who sends his
girl a half a stick of gum and keeps half and then they both chew at
the same time, but I don't think he'd like it so I won't say anything.
Chiskie doesn't look like the type, but last weekend he went to
Buoknell to take a Fellowship test and that e/vening, he spent many
happy hours at a sorority house where a party was in full swing. He
may transfer. Mr. Troufcman won't want to lose him, though. He was
asked to take over a class on the spur of the moment, so he asked a
certain girl where they were in the textbook. She replied, "Oh, we're
advanced biology students. We don't use textbooks." So Chiskie answered, "Well, you 're too much for me then. I've gone through four years
of college and I STILL need one."
The first night Alex Boychuck went to supper since being discharged and saw the boys allow the girls to enter the dining room first ,
he thought he was at a dif f eren t school than the one he left. It was
explained that Mai Smith stood in front and held the boys back until
the girls got in.
I betcha there 's one popular young lady on campus. She's the 40th
member of the January freshmen. The other 89 are male students.
Wow !
How about the Huskies breaking their all-time record and scoring
over the century mark ! Let's hope next time we play Millersville we
break the new record .
The last C.G.A. meeting in assembly was the first tame I ever saw
where nobody wanted to adjourn. Now if there could only be something
done about the suggestions we might be getting somewhere. By the
way, Mike, are they ever going to light that fireplace ?
If you liked the Obiter show (ha) please let Tom Rowley know,
because there will be so many shouting threats and such that your compliments may keep Tom from (as "Doc" Wagner says ) j umping off the
Nescopeck bridge.
Have you noticed the "Golden Phantoms" on campus. If you didn't
know, this jacket signifies that the wearer is a male and has at least a
1.5 average.
On January 19, our school has its 85th birthday. Happy Birthday
dear Bloomsburg and many happy returns of the day. Some of the
cleaning ladies told me that they remember the day when everything
was Normal around here. One of them even remembered the year Uncle
Burley started school. What a memory!
Since Arnie was rudely interrupted in the middle of this column to
take a spaghetti sojourn , his ghost writer has a chance ofa lifetime
opportunity ! But, no — "it" will just say 'bye for now ' from
U. C.

The young minister sitting down
to dinner was asked by his equally
young wife to say grace. He opened
the casserole dish she had prepared from a new French recipe
book and an uncounted number of
refrigerator left-overs appeared before him.
"Well, I don't know," he said
dubiously, not being a casserole

man himself , "it seems to me I've
blessed all this stuff before."

A professor, anxious to improve
his course, added the question to
the final exam, "What do you think
of the course?"
After correcting some of the
papers, he came to an extremely
bad one which had the following
notation , "I think this course wsfs
a well-rounded one. Everything not
given during the semester was included in the final examination."

populace. Soon the country was
overrun by man-eating lions , tigers,

it no longer and gave the maharajah the heave-ho.
This was the first instance on
record when the reign was called
