Business Ed Club
To Plan Banquet

The Business Education Club
held its semi-monthly meeting in
Navy Hall Auditorium , February
18, 1954, at 3:00 p.m. The business
meeting was conducted by the vicepresident, Pat O'Loughlin. Minutes
of the previous meeting were read
by the secretary, Sherrill Hiller,
and were approved as read.
Marlene Gobster , chairman of
the Survey Committee, asked all
club members to return their survey sheets as soon as possible so
that work on the project could be
begun.
Th e advise r, Mr. Rygiel, suggested that , in order to stimulate interest in Gregg awards, the club
be allowed to pay for the students'
awards earned in shorthand and
typi ng classes. After a short discussion, a motion was made to that
effect by Sara Jane Hoffman and
seconded by Evelyn Weaver. The
motion was carried.
Plans were begun for the annual
Business Education Club Banquet.
Vice-President O'Loughlin announced that the date for the event had
been set for May 12, 1954. The
club voted to have the banquet at
6:30 p.m.

'B' Clu b Mem bers See
Annual Ice Capades

Members of the "B" Club and
euests enj oyed their annual trip to
Hershey to see the Ice Caoades on
Saturday, Februa ry 20 , 1954.
The stars of this year's Canades
were Donna Atwood and Bobby
Specht. They starred in the ever
noular "Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs. " Lighting effects and the
stage setting for this production
' were outstanding.
Another feature of the proerram
was a tribute to Thomas Edison
on the anniversarv of his invention
of the electric light. In this selection the costumes of the skater*
were especiallv remarkable. At tho
completion of this number the
arena was darkened and the lights
on the costumes formed silhouettes
of each skater.
Other favorite numbers were
"Badminton on Ice ," "The Old
Smoothies," "The English Fox
Hunt," and "Dancing In the
Dark ," which was a solo done by
Conrad.
Completing the prog ram was
the production "Orange Blossom
Time." This starred Donna Atwood
and Bobby Specht as "The King
and Queen of Ice." After the sknting portion of this number , the
stars brought the show to a stup:

F.T.A. Plans to Hold
Panel Discussion

At the February meeting of
F. T. A. several proposed amendments to the constitution were voted upon. By maj ority vote the club
approved the proposed changes in
the constitution in regard to the
sponsors, and the amount of dues
to be paid each semester. The
members refused to ratify an
amendment to allow freshmen and
sophomores to j oin the club. Four
more amendments will be voted
upon at the March meeting of the
club.
At the F.T.A. committee meeting held on Wednesday, February
24, plans were completed for the
remainder of the programs for the
year. The annual "Visitation Day "
was also discussed and committee
chairmen were appointed.
Plan to hold a panel discussion
for the Bloomsburg P.T.A. were
also decided upon at the committee
meeting. These plans will be taken
up by the club at the March meeting,

Joan Christie
1954 "Coed of the Year "

Joan Christie Reigns as
Coed Queen at Frosh Dance

Two weeks of mounting suspense
ended last Friday night when lovely Joan Christie was named the
students' choice in the Obiter sponsored "Coed of the Year" contest.
Crowned at the Freshman "Underwater Fantasy," Miss Christie was
chosen from the eight contestants
in an election held Thursday afternoon in Waller Hall.
Miss Christie 's throne was the
most unusual ever seen at B.S.T.C.
— an over-turned rowboat on a
sandy island in the middle of Centennial Gymnasium. Also on this
royal isle were the proverbial
ship 's anchor and an ancient treasure chest, which matched the miniature chests spilling gold coins on
the tables surrounding the dance
floor. The desired illusion of dancing under the sea was skillfully
.created by clouds of blue-green
drapery floating above the heads of
the whirling dancers. Adding to
the oceanic atmosphere were the
b r i g h t l y- h u e d fish swimming
through the aqua curtains that
veiled the gymnasium bleachers.
The entrance to the "Splash
Inn " was p a r t i c u l a r l y effective
with blue and white striped canopies extending out into the gymnasium lobby from the actual doorways.
The crowning of B.S.T.C.'s Coed
was announced by a fanfare of Leo
Vincent's trumpets and a short

speech from Tom Higgins, chairman of the contest. Mr. Higgins
introduced each contestant and
her escort as the couple circled the
island on which 1953's q u een , Judy
Fry McCarthy, was seated.
As the final blare of brass proclaimed the queen , Joan was presented with a white orchid corsage,
an engraved loving cup, and a
bracelet from Logan 's Jewelry
Store, as well as the traditional
crown formerly worn by Mrs. McCarthy.
Miss Christie, one of the two
Sophomore contestants , comes to
B.S.T.C. from Shenandoah. She is
well known as a member of College Council, feature editor of the
Maroon and Gold, historian of the
Business Education Club, and model in the annual spring Fashion
Show. Earlier in the school year,
Joan was named Varsity Queen by
the Varsity Club members at their
annual November dance.
A full -page picture of Miss
Christie will appear in this year 's
Obiter, sponsors of the entire Coed
contest.
An attractive and popular Coed
Queen, beautiful and unusually effective decorations, and a large,
enthusiastic crowd of dancers —
these factors combined to produce
one of the most successful dances
ever held at B.S.T.C—The Freshman "Underwater Fantasy."

mittee,

The last meeting of Pi Omega Pi
was held February 4. A discussion
was held concerning the giving of
credit for attendance to seniors
who are student teaching in Williamsport and Berwick. It was decided that this could not be taken
care of in the Constitution, so it
is now up to a committee consisting of Joanne McCormick and
William Jacobs to look into the
matter of revising the Constitution.
'Dr. Englehardt, who is in ch arge
of placement at B.S.T.C., was the
speaker at the last meeting. He
gave the students many pointers
on getting interviews, such as:
what to say, how to say it, and
what not to say. He stated that
the main idea of an interview is
the "me for you " philosophy. The
general idea is to have a good
technique. You should prepare beforehand and get an idea what will
be asked you in your interview.
For a good interview , you must
really want the j ob.
Dr. Engelhardt pointed out that
the service B.S.T.C. gives in placement and follow-up of its graduates is one of the best. He said
that any college can turn out certified teachers, but placing them
is a different story. Each year
Bloomsburg sends out brochures to
all class A high school supervising
principals.
The next meeting will be March
8. Since it is the night of the Sales
Rally, there will be no program,

Social Committee
Lists Future Films
For Assembly
One of the most active C.G.A.
committees here at B.S.T.C. is the
Social and Recreational one headed
by Ruth Paul and Mike Moran.
And perhaps the hardest-working
member of the important group is
the movie chairman, Ed Siscoe.
Five Movies Shown First Semester
During the first semester of the
1953-54 college year, five movies
were shown in Carver Hall Auditorium for the enjoyment of both
students and faculty. These included "Lullaby of Broadway, "
"Laura ," "13 Rue Madelaine,"
"Force of Arms," and "Young Man
With a Horn."
These top movie hits continued
in the second semester with "Mr.
Belevedere Goes to College" on
February 5. March 11 brings Doris
Day in "I'l See You in My Dreams"
for B.S.T.C. enj oyment, and Jennifer Jones stars in April 12's movie,
"Song of Bernadette." A short, entitled "Ava Maria , " will also be
featured on this date.
In securing these top films from
New York the committee has two
obj ectives in mind. These are to
increase weekend activities on College Hill and to provide mor e entertainment for both students and
faculty.
Four Licensed Projectionists
B.S.T.C. is fortunate in having
four licensed proj ectionists, mainly
through the efforts of Mr. Charles
Henrie, head of the college Visual
Education Department. In late
January John Bushy, Richard
Dietz, William Snyder , and Mr.
Henrie took the proj ectionist test
in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Results of this test proved satisfactory and Class "D" licenses
have been issued to these four
people.
Although these proj ectionists are
¦handicapped in being forced to stop
the film run at times to change
from one reel to another, the film
continuity is not strained. Naturall y, a break in film often necessitates stoppage and reloading of the
reel. However, these stops are not
the fault of the jr oje ctionists, contrary to popular belief at B.S.T.C.
Planning Now for Next Year
Plans are already being made
and dates set on the fall semester
calendar for more and oven better
movies to be shown in Carver Hall
Auditorium during the 1954-55 college year.

Tickets On Sale '
For Annual Ral ly-;*

More than 1200 direct mailing
pieces announcing the Eighth Annual Sales Rally sponsored by the
Bloomsburg State Teachers College have been mailed to communities in Eastern Pennsylvania during the past week. This year 's
event , which is expected to attract
the biggest audience in the history
of the aff air , will be held Thursday
evening, March 4th in the Carver
Auditorium at eight o'clock. Individuals who have attended the
rally within the past two years,
secretaries of local Chambers of
Commerce, and superintendents of
schools and high school principals
throughout the area received the
announcements.
Th e Bloomsbu rg and Berwick
Rotary Clubs have accepted an invitation to attend a pre-Rally dinner in the College dining room at
6:30 p.m. The Rotary Club of
£!atawissa has also been invited to
attend the dinner. Dr. Richard T.
Parson s, president of Lock Haven
State Teachers College 'and District Governor of Rotary, will represent Rotary International at the
dinner.
Large blocks of ti ckets have already been secured by Chambers
of Commerce in Berwick, Bloomsburg, and Mt. Carmel, while numbers of area businessmen and managers of retail stores havo asked
for tickets for their sales staff and
store personnel.
Featured speakers for the 1954
Sales Rally are Jennings Randolph,
assistant to the president of Capit al Airlines, and Les Giblin, dynamic, nationally-known sales personality. Mr. Randolph is a former
member of the United States Congress, having represented West
Virginia for 14 years in the House
of Representatives. Mr. Giblin is
known as the founder of the famous Les Giblin Clinic, and is one of
the great sales training instructors
in the United States. He is rated
as one of the top ten sales speakers in America. Mr. Giblin is author of the publication How to Harness Human Nature, and several
books , The Sales Craft Handbook
and Clerk Craft. In addition to
this, he brings over twenty years
of actual selling experience to his
listeners.

BSTC Cooperates in
Valid ation of Test

The Bloomsburg State Teachers
College is cooperating with the
University of Chicago in the validation of two new forms of college
level tests of General Educational
Development for use in the armed
forces education program. As one
of the steps in the program, sixty
science maj ors at Bloomsburg recently completed a battery of tests
in the interpretation of reading
material in the Natural Sciences
under the direction of Dr. E. Paul
Wagner, Professor of Psychology.
The construction of the tests is
a service rendered in the interest
of expanding educational opportunities for both men in the service
and veterans. The tests are being
tried out and standardized on students in cooperating institutions
all over the country from February 1 until March 15, 1954.
In order to complete the testj
given to sixty Bloomsburg science
majo rs, six testing sessions of two
hours each were required. When
the results of the local tests are
compared with the national norms,
a steady educational and intellectual growth in the Natural Sciences
is indicated from the freshman
year to the senior year. Bloomsburg sophomores rank above the
national average.
Dr. Wagner said today that the
college next plans to give tests in
the field of English, testing primarily the correctness and effectiveness of expression.

PACE SETTERS

The Eyes Have It!

Something new has been added at the Benj amin Franklin Laboratory ! A reading machine has been put into use for the purpose of increasing student reading speed. Put out by the Science Research Associates, the machine is electronically controlled and employs a psychological approach to accomplish its purpose.
The material to be read is placed in position and a shutter is dropped at the top. Then a certain speed is set at which the shutter will
move down over the page, covering the material above and leaving only
the material below exposed. At first the rate is set so that the student
can easily finish the reading by the time the shutter reaches the bottom
of the page. This makes practical use of the principle that the student
should never feel defeated since inferiority complexes could easily develop as a result. For instance, if a student could read at a rate of 200
words per minute, the speed would be set at 200. Then , after an initi al
test, the speed is gradually increased, and with it the student's reading
rate.
The studen t realizes when using this machine that he must concentrate on what he is reading, for he is unable to go back and re-read
the material. In this way, comprehension is usually improved also. This
is another aim of the machine, for speed reading alone means nothing.
To check on comprehension, questions are included at the end of each
reading selection and the students are expected to follow a certain
pattern in answering. If the comprehension is normal , there should be
no difficulty in answering what is asked; if there is a lack , more attention is placed on improving the student' s understanding of what he
reads.
This machine is able to accomplish a great deal in accelerating
reading, and the motivating factor is strong. The will to "beat the
machine" of ten urges the student to improve his reading speed, and the
results will help him in many ways. In time, the laboratory school may
even become famous for its speedy readers !

Today ' s Beginners . . .
Tomorrow 's Lifesavers

Everyone is aware of the Benj amin Franklin Laboratory School
located across from Navy Hall, but so few of us can visualize the time
these teachers devote to both their pupils and student teachers. Day
after day, these elementary teachers increase reasoning ability, teach
sportsmanship, and build character. These teachers realize their success
cannot be measured by the knowledge a child may gain from books
alone, but also from the useful skills he can master. With this thought
in mind , a swimming program was started several years ago in which
separate classes were held for the boys and girls.
As a resu lt , swimming classes are held every Thursday afternoon
between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m. in Centennial Gymnasium. Under the current Junior Life Saving program, the fifth and sixth grade pupils are
divided into two main sections according to ability. About fifty-nine
pupils participate, of which 95 per cent can now swim. One group ot
swimmers meets at 3:00 p.m.; another group meets at 3:30 p.m. These
groups are also sub-divided to promote faster progress and provide individual instruction.
Miss Janet A. Hughes, a senior elementary education student who
hails from Bangor, has instructed these swimming classes for several
years. Other college students who wish to maintain their Red Cross
Instr uc tor 's Badge and student teachers assigned to the fifth and sixth
grades regularly assist in continuing this program.
The swimming sessions of these children must be observed to appreciate the progress being made by these beginners. Thirteen pupils
were awarded their Junior Life Saving badge in the 1952-53 school year,
proving that children can become adept at this sport .
Mr. Warren I. Johnson, sixth grade teacher, and Mr. Russell F.
Schleicher, fifth grade teacher, are responsible for the interest in this
program. Under their supervision, a Parent's Day for observation was
held last fall Which was attended by a number of parents. Another
demonstration is planned for May, but a definite date had not yet been
announced. Mr. Johnson , Mr. Sleicher, and Miss Hughes are to be commended for their efforts.
Thus, by the guidance of these elementary teachers, tomorrow's
citizens will be able to face their problems more confidently. Each of
us can profit from this example, especially when we think that our work
is of little significance to a child or to the school as an organization.
We must remember that we mold a child's life not only from the book,
but from an all-around educational standpoint.

Two Plane Flights
Will Be Scheduled

S.C.A. Will Conduct
Mid-Wee k Services

Two films were shown at the
last meeting of the Aviation Club.
The first was on Jet Engines, and
the second was on Aerodynamics.

anyone in the Aviation Club. The
Link Trainer, which is a pre-flight
training device, will be ready for
use in the near future .
Two plane flights are getting
organized. The first will be a trip
to the Lock Haven Piper Cub Aircraft Corporation some Saturday.
The second will be an airplane
flight scheduled for some time after Easter. Committees are working on these flights. Mr. Sterling
is the advisor for the Aviation
Club. •

Twenty minute mid-week Lenten
Services will again be sponsored by
the Student Christian Association
each Wednesday during Lent beginning at 12:30 P.M. in Carver
Hall Auditorium.
The college fellowship of each
local church will conduct the worshio for one of these services. The
first service will be held on Wednesday, March 3, with the Lutheran Student Association in charge
of the devotions. Reverend Singer ,
who recently came to St. Matthew's Lutheran Church from Altoona, will pronounce the benediction.
Students of any denomination
are welcome to attend these Wednesday devotions.

investigated, the day pirls have a
three-in-one kitchen unit at their
disposal. This includes a stove ,
sink , and refrigerator combination.
At almost any time of the day you
can find someone in the kitchen.
Early in the morning water begins
to boil for those who missed their
tea and crackers at home. At noon
the smell of hamburgs, chili, or
spaghet ti fills the air for those desiring a hot lunch. The girls often
bring odd dishes and pieces of
silverware to add to their kitchen
equi pment.
On February 19 the Day Women 's Organization sent flowers to
the home of Shirley Eveland , a
senior, upon the death of her father. Miss Waldron and the day
women would like to express their
sincere sympathy at this time.
A covered dish banquet was held
on February 24 in the Day Women's Room. The menu consisted of
meat loaf , baked corn, pickled cabbage, scalloped potatoes, deviled
eggs and dessert. Miss Ranson,
former dean of the day girls, was
the guest of honor.

Invitations to
Tourney Issued

Invitations have been extended
to more than thirty high schools to
participate in the Twenty-seventh
Annual High School Invitation
Basketball Tournament to be held
at Bloomsburg State Teachers College, beginning March 5 and 6 and
continuing until March 20. John A.
Hoch, director of the popular cage
tourney, said that additional invitations would be extended , mainly to Class A high schools during
the next two weeks.
At legist eighteen Class C teams
have expressed an active interest
in the 1954 meet, although invitations will be sent to only sixteen
of the schools. Because some of
the interested high schools are still
involved in league play and consideration for loop championships,
tourney officials will have to delay
invitations until league races are
settled.
Four Class A teams were mailed
bids late last week—Mt. Carmel,
Palmerton, Pl ains , and Carbondale.
Tourney officials are still hopeful
of filling the Class A bracket with
eight contenders. Since the title in
the Lackawanna, North Schuylkill
and Wyoming Valley Leagues is
still in the balance, nothing has
been heard from teams in those
loops.
Nine Class B teams have asked
for consider a tion , including Mifflinburg, St. Edward's, of Shamokin; Shickshinny, Min ersville, la st
year's Class B champions; Frackville, Schuylkill Haven, Renova,
Edwardsville, and Larksville.
In Class C, always the hottest
bracket , invi tations have been
mailed to Wilkes-Barre Township,
Catawissa, Turnpike, Whi t e Haven,
Roaring Greek Valley, Tremont ,
Butler Township, Ringtown, Nuremberg, Con-Cen, Rock Glen, Scott
Township, Montgomery, Nicholson ,
Falls-Overland, Cressona, and Foster Township.
Class C eliminations begin Friday night, March 5, at six o'clock ,
and continue until eight of the sixteen entries are eliminated.

Golden Avalanche
Falls to Huskies

A small Wednesday night crowd
witnessed the return game between the visiting Kutztown Golden Avalanche and the Bloomsburg
Huskies. The game, played in Centennial Gym, w as Bloom all th e
way with the Mountaineers leading
only 1-0 in the eai ly moments of
the game.
The game was slow at the start
with Kutztown only able to score
on two foul shots until the closing
seconds of the period when they
made their first basket. The Huskies took advantage of this and ran
up the score. Len Kozick and Joe
Ondrula were the big guns for the
Shellymen scoring 19 and 18 points
respectively. The quarter closed
with the Huskies leading 17-4.
In the second period Kutztown
rallied and cut the Bloom lead to
eight points, 20-12, but this didn 't
last long as the Hardwood Huskies
poured on the steam, thereby moving to a 31-15 half-time advantage .
John Karo, shifty guard , made a
long one-hand push-shot just as
the buzzer sounded denoting the
end of the half.
Again in the third quarter the
visitors staged an uprising only to
be overcome by a Bloom surge.
The Berks County Tutors were led
by Roger Cocivera, who entered
the game as the second highest
scorer in the State Teachers College Conference. During the game
Bloomsburg 's "Jittery " Joe Ond .rula, formerly in third place in the
individual scoring race, went ahead
of Cocivera with his display of 18
points.
The Huskies pulled to a 20 point
lead In the final period and were
never threatened again. It was
during this period that Ondrula
and Cocivera had their personal
duel. Each man tried to equal or
better the other 's performance and
in the end , "Jittery Joe" came out
on top much to the pleasure of the
home-town fans.
Coach Harold Shelly cleared the
bench in the final minutes, giving
all the boys a chance to play. The
game ended with the final score
reading 75 - 56 in favor of the
Huskies.

SPORTS SCUTTLEBUTT
by BILL BITNER
TOURNAMENT'TEAMS SELECTED . . . . The teams for the twentyseventh annual High School Basketball Invitation Tournament have
been released by the Tournament Director, Mr. John Hoch. About thirtytwo years ago here at Bloomsburg, a gentleman by the name of George
Meade promoted the first of this series which has continued down
through the years with a brief intermission during the war years. In
the first tournament, which had the primary purpose of getting high
school male students on the campus and interested in enrolling in what
was then the Normal School, there were only four teams entered in the
first tournament which lasted only one day. This year we have 28 teams
in the three divisions.
The tournament ran for quite a few years with just four, fi ve and
six entries until the thirties when the idea really caught fire. During the
pre-war days, the tournament included as many as sixteen teams, which
saw the visiting high school lads housed at one of the downtown hotels
and fed in the college dinuig room. This plan was interrupted by the
war, but was resumed again in the spring of 1947 when John ^loch became the Huskies' publicity director. Since that time the tournament
has included as many as 34 teams but seems to be more manageable
with 32 or less.
During this time the tournament prizes have more than made the
effort worthwhile. The individual division trophy and the cheerleader
awards are an addition to any high school trophy case. There are also
handsome individual trophies awarded to the most valuable player as
well as the all-tourney teams of ten players. The followingis a list of
the teams expected (with their coach and league win-loss record) at

Shellymen Fall to
Wilkes Court Five

CLASS A

The Wilkes College Colonels
came back hard in the last period
to overcome a Bloomsburg lead
and go on to win by a 89 to 77
score before 1,700 fans at the
Wilkes Gym. The big guns for the
up-river basketeers were Len Batroney and Eddie Davis with 20
and 15 respectively. It was exPlymouth star , Eddie Davis, who
put the final touch to the game by
snappy dribbling and experienced
ball handling. Eddie drove hard
for either a bucket or two fouls,
either of which was deadly.
Dallas Township's Len Kozick
paced Bloomsburg and the game
with 24. Jerry Kopec and Joe
Ondrula aided with 21. Kozick was
also the main rebound threat for
the Huskies.
The Colonels j umped to a fine
start and led the Shellymen by a
10-0 score before the down-river
quintet could swish the nets.
George Ralston 's team watched
the Huskies return to within two
points at the end of the period and
come within a point at intermission, 39-38.
Both teams committed many
fouls in the contest with both team
centers, Joe Ondrula , of B.S.T.C ,
and Joe Sikora , of Wilkes, making
their share. Ondrula fouled out
early in the third period. Ex-Plymouth hoopster Jackie Bresnahan
filled in ably for Sikora in rebounding but also in personal
fouls. He also concluded with four.
It was a new game going into
ttie second half , with Bloomsburg
shooting ahead in the third period ,
outgunning the Wllkesmen 25-19
to lead by eigh t at the end of the
stanza.
The Wilkes quintet tied the
game with about three minutes remaining when Davis hit for six
consecutive free throws and then
went ahead with a deuce from the
outside. The Colonels put on a
full court press and the Huskies
melted. Employing ball stealing,
extraordinary fast passing, and allaround razzle-dazzle play, the Colonels went on to 13 points in the
last two and a half minutes, while

17-3 (Independent)

Bloomsburg had to be content with
two.
The final tally — Wilkes 89—
B.S.T.C. 77.
A small crowd from Bloomsburg
showed the college-on-the-hill spirit and , being led by Mary Hoffecker, Judy Stephens and Ann Ryan,
did a fine j ob in cheering. They
even outdid the local Colonel
cheering section if there was one
present. Lets do a good j ob at
home in cheering as we did at
Wilkes and the game will be 100%
better.

The big week-end is over ami it's back to the grind again until
Easter. B.S.T.C. had some very impressive goings on. The 85th anniversary was a success. I hear the guests were very impressed with the
new lounge and administrative offices. And then the Freshman Hop,
Quoting Mr. Hoch, "the nicest dance in eigh t years." There was a tremendous amount of work put into that dance and Ken an.d the rest
deserve all the credit that's "aqua-lungs" for the guests ; it was so realistic).
To top everything off , the co-ed was chosen ; and for the first time
the contest was run in such a manner so that nobody knew who it would
be. Congratulations, Joanie, it cou ldn't have happened to a nicer girl.
Ed was more shook than you were. I don 't recall any other time when
all eight girls were so equal in every way, and from working with them
in the Obiter show, U.C. knows they were all the greatest.
Talking about the Obiter Show, since then , Chiscon has had seven
offers for Shakespearean traveling shows. No, they don 't want him to
play Julius Caesar; they want him to do a strip tease between acts.
I suppose some of you heard T.P.'s Wigwam the other night when
"the Teddy bear's picnic," was played for John Angus. Now he has a
membership card, which proves he is an honest-to-goodness papoose.
I want to thank Sue Beiley for finishing my column last time. We
went to Panichello's for Sunday dinner. Now if you never ate Italian
spaghetti, you should. First, spaghetti, meat balls, and steak, then
chicken, all kinds of salad, a roast of pork, pie and j ello. Then we all
lined up in the kitchen and Mrs. Fanichello cleaned the spaghetti sauce
off our white shirts with bleach. I now understand why Punch goes 230,
and his little brother Joe weighs more yet.
I was asked to ask this question, po we have a Dorm Men 's Asso.ciation ? If so, when and where does it function and what does it do.
(D on't yell at me, Merlyn. I'm lucky to still live in the dorm).
Friday night after supper, because the lounge was closed, a couple
girls were jitt erbugging outside the C.G.A. office. Really living it up.
Three elderly ladies, evidently here for the ceremonies, were passing
through at this time. One whispered to the other two, "Well, I can see
why they don't call it a normal school anymore."
Everyone up home was real happy this week-end, cause Uncle
Burley was up and brought goodies. We put four sofas together and he
was quite comfortable.
I want to do one thing I forgot. Congratulations to the football
players who made the All-slate team. Now, not taking anything away
from those fellows, but how in the world do they pick that team. The
greatest fullback Bloom has seen since football was reorganized here
didn't even get honorable mention. Twenty-four TD's in four years.
Did anyone ever see him stopped when we needed a yard ? Well, Barney,
I guess you needed a better press agent.
Back home, we have a church league to allow fellows out of high
school to get a chance to play basketball every Saturday night. Well
the night of the Wilkes game, they had to call off the league cause all
the guys went to Wilkes to see our boys play. Len didn't let us down
either. He's the first local boy who made good since Bernie Mont came
to Bloomsburg.
Just got back from intramurals and the Saints came out victorious.
When Mr. Shelley overlooked Bill Ellinger, he really missed something.
Bill averaged about 14 per game for the season. An immense crowd of
27 people were there to witness the contest.
Don 't forget Lenten services starting next Wednesday in the Auditorium at 12:30. You'll be able to make your one o'clock class, so come
on over, it'll do you good. Rowley's giving up bicycle riding for Lent.
Well, I can't write anymore with Harriet screaming at me to hurry
up because we've got to go to press so until next time remember: sleeping at night instead of during the day is conducive to making your stay
here a longer one.
