SPIRIT OF HOMECOMING
It is not long since you
As Freshmen came up College Hill
To work and play where nearby the Susquehanna flows
Since time was old and things were still.
Like you, others saw beauty with each season pass.
Colors-green in summer everywhere
Then brown leaves fall and white snow drifting down
Until only pine and hemlock were not bare.
Year after year now students came and went
Un t il, you too, were here in this long file
But soon you will go and others come
Who in their turn will only stay awhile.
But, in a way, you do not go from here.
For every student leaves something here behind.
Something that lingers after they are gone
Something that lingers on in every mind.
Bloomsburg has taken the opportunity of this Homecoming
Day to honor the many authors
among her faculty, alumni and
students. A colorful display featuring many of these authors has
been set up in the college library,
and some of each writer's work
has been included in the display
so that students and Homecoming
Day visitors may see the fascinating materials and varied content
of the publications.
Although every effort was made
to get information on each author,
it was not possible in every case.
Anyone having additional information is asked to notify the
Maroon and Gold, and this material will be used in the planned
future articles on individual writers.
Included in the library display
are the publications of many of
our current faculty and administation heads. For example, Burgess Business Law by President
Andruss, Growing in. Citizenship
by Mr. Barton, and Bowe Typing
by Mr. Rygiel.
Also displayed are What Happens Is by Mrs. Marie Colt Reese,
who is a B.S.T.C. graduate and
has written this amusing book
? about Mrs. Clarice Hummel, another BSTC graduate, and alumna
Eleanor Sands Smith's book of
poetry, St. Martin's Summer. A
famous BSTC writing team is Mr.
and Mrs. John Bakeless. Our library contains five books by Mr.
Bakeless, including books about
Daniel Boone and Christopher
Marlowe. Mrs. Bakeless (nee Little) has written several books
such as Story Lives of Great
Composers, and Birth of a Nation's
Song.
Two members of the class of
1954 had magazine articles published: David Newbury breaking
into "The Commonwealth" with

Student Opinion
FRESHMAN ORIENTA TION
Colleges and universities have all opened for the fall session and
students by the thousands have "had their first taste of higher learning.
A great many institutions, nearly all, we probably should say, make a
special effort to prepare the freshmen for what amounts to a brand new
life.
The process of endeavoring to set freshmen on the right path in
college is usually called orientation, which means in effect getting into
right relationship to the people and things around you. As 9 general
rule the better part of a week is dedicated to orienting first-year students, and it is none too long a time, at that.
The average freshman at college is being asked to bridge one of the
widest and most i mportant gaps that will come along in his experiences.
As a senior in high school, he was something of a so-called Big Shot* As
a freshman in college he will be the lowliest of the lowly. The transition
is swift and substantial, and it calls for majo r adju stments.
Ordinarily, too, the boy or girl from elementary school through
high school is constantly supervised, advised, urged, prompted and
admonished. At home and at school someone is very apt to be expressing
curiosity as to whether class work has been done, and if n ot , why not,
and all that sort of thing. Discipline, in a word, is visible, audible and at
times tangible.
Entrance into college means that the student is far more largely on
his own. It is assumed he will do what he is supposed to do, and a violent
assumption it may be. The student can also come and go pretty much
as he pleases, set his own hours of work and play, appoint his own sorts
and periods of recreation. As far as many freshmen know, no one is
checking on anything, though the contrary is emphatically true.
Fortunate the student who takes the trouble to realize the need for
orientation and makes the required effort to acquire it. Meantime the»
colleges and universities are to be commended for their increasing consciousness of their obligation to do whatever they ggn to bridge the
chasm between being a high school senior and a college freshman.
Behind Close d
Door s
by Ken Weir
By this time, many uninformed
upperclassmen have told their
Freshmen counterparts that College Council is an organization
that during the course of the college year becomes so bogged down
with red tape, that nothing is accomplished by the group. Nothing
could be farther from the truth.
With the help of the other
twenty-six members of Council, I
will attempt to show you what the
Council does and to introduce to
you some of the people and the
problems that they bring along to
our meetings on the second and
fourth Monday of each month.
First I want to assure you that
each of us has the sincere desire
to express the ideas of every Carl
Campus and Cathy Co-ed at
BSTC. Roongo and the squirrels
have few problems compared to
those that occur among us humans entren ched on College Hill.
There seems to be no limit to the
requests that come to each meeting.
For instance at the first meeting we carried no less than ten
items of business. We approved
our budget and set the time of our
bi-monthly meetings. Then it was
decided that the College Council
should eat as a group in the Dining Room before each meeting.
The scheduling of an all-college
record dance on Wednesdays from
8:30 to 10:00 p.m. was approved
and placed on the campus calendar.
Since the Bookstore is in the
process of moving to Navy Hall , it
was decided to distribute the tickets for the four Civic Concerts
that are held at the local hi gh
school to the students as they
leave the last assembly prior to
the concert. A committee was appointed to study the attendance
and interest in those worthwhile
concerts. Attendance has been
low, but the quality of the programs is usually very high ; the
lack of support is hard to understand. We must realize that we
could not obtain nearly as much
for our money if we were not cooperating with the local townspeople in bringing such artists to
BJoomsburg,
We were told that the policy of

What 's Your
Opinion?
by Judy Ulmer
A colorf ul new fashion has appeared on the campuses of colleges and universities throughout
the nation — Bermuda shorts.
When asked "What do you think
of Bermuda shorts?" , the following BSTC students replied:
Sally Stallone: "They 're dear!
However, in order to wear them
well , one 's legs can 't be too long,
too sho rt , too heavy or too thin—
so let's face it girls—even though
we hate to admit it , there are
few of us who do not fit into one
of those catagories. "
Bernadine Butz: "I can 't see
anything wrong with wearing
them on campus for special
events, but I disapprove of wearing them downtown."
Jo Atkinson : "No t on ly do I
think they 're real cute, but I also
thi nk they 're here to stay on college campuses. They make a very
neat appearance."
•
Bob Arbogast: "Bermuda shorts
are not the most feminine apparel
to hit the market, but I do think
they do j ustice to tall women."
Nancy Sue Williams: "I think
th ey 're fine for relaxing in the
dorm. I particularly like the gray
flannel ones—they're very attractive."
Evelyn Weaver: "I think Bermuda shorts are the proper thing
to wear to those certain sports
events. Th ey can be combined
with sweaters and blazers to give
a girl a neat appearance. "
Dick Strine: "Bermuda Shorts
definitely belong more in Blooms.burg than in Bermuda. Incidentally, my favorite color is charcoal."
Ken Weir: "Some other small
schools that at first did not allow
Bermuda shorts have now realized
that they are here to stay. Just as
guys laughed at white bucks when
they firs t came out, we all wear
them now. I predict that in a few
years Bermuda shorts will bo
widely accepted among guys. I do
not advocate wearing them to dinner or to classes, but I definitely
think they have a place on campus
for casual wear, why must we be
different?"
story comparatively short, we
stayed until 7:55 p.m. discussing
The various angles of our Freshmen Customs.
We felt that the genial President got things off to a good start.
We talked about a lot of things
in that hour and twenty-five minutes. Ed kept things moving along
In a way that deserved the title,
"Mister President."
"Turn slightly more to the left.
That's it! Now, hold that pose."
Probably through a similar experience, m any of the st uden ts of
BSTC came to meet Keith McKay,
editor of the 1955 Obiter, BSTC's
yearbook. A native of Harrisburg,
Keith graduated from Swatara
Township High School in 1951 and
came to Bloomsburg in the fall of
the same year.
While in high school, Keith followed a j ournalistic interest, being
feature editor of the high school
paper for two years, and edito r of
the senior yearbook. He was also
class president for three years, beginning with his sophomore class.
Besides his political and journal istic attractions , Keith was vocally
inclined. He became a member of
the Men 's Chorus and the Mixed
Choir and encouraged many of his
iriends to join the organizations.
Keith' s interests are all-inclusive—painting and sketching, photography, swimming, and 'j ournalism. He also has a fine collection
of Operettas at home, but this
doesn 't prevent him from being an
avid sports fan.
It was only logical that when
Keith came to college, his interests
would come with him. He immediately won the trust of his fellow
classmen and was elected president of his freshman class. With
his experience and love for photography, Keith became staff photographer for the Maroon & Gold.
This past spring saw the results
of Keith's hard work with the
black box and flashbulbs — the
the Photographic Salon which is
destined to become one of the main
attractions of Alumni Day. His
other activities while on "the
Campus on the Hill" include: Fire
Drill Committee Chairman, Men 's
Chorus, Bloomsburg P l a y e r s ,
Chairman of the Obiter Co-ed
Cont est, and a member of the two
fraternities for which he is eligible
—Phi Sigma Pi, and Kappa Delta
Pi.
Upon graduating, Keith hopes to
teach biology; that is, if a certain
Uncle by the name of Sam does
not have some other "position "
available.
With his variety of talents and
interests, Keith should do well in
any situation. Good luck, Keith,
from all at the "Friendly College
en the Hill".
DAY WOMEN S
'
NEWS
by Bertie Knouse
Well, we're all pretty well back
into the swing of things, now t h at
the first frantic weeks of the new
school year are over. We've renewed fri end ship s with all of t h e old
gang, and already have made some
new friends. We've said hello to
the old familiar halls and rooms,
and found a few changes for the
better. For instance, the girls ' day
room looks fresh as a daisy with
the crisp new drapes. They 're a
cheerful green print, and make the
room look so elegant. The kingsize green bulletin board is a much
needed improvement , since much
of the girls ' correspondence with
the rest of the college depends on
it. New lockers right in the room
are convenient, and a new arrangement of the furniture makes the
room look much more spacious.
The first social event of the new
year for the Day Women 's Association was the tea held Wednesday, September 8, in honor of the
twenty-five new students. The tea
was planned by the social chairman, Shirley Redline, and committe members : Diann Jones, Carolyn Yost, Janet Wintersteen , and
Nancy Hyde. There were short
speeches by the adviser of Day
Women, Miss Margaret Waldron ,
and the president , Pat Hartman.
Pat welcomed the girls to the day
room and Introduced the other officers, who are vice-president,
Carol Nearing; secretary, Juno
Reese; treasurer, Nancy Ebersole ;
house chairman, Lovell Lindenmuth; social chairman , Shirley
Redline; publicity chairman, Arlene Rando ; social service chairman , Hope Home. Punch and cookies were served.
Many of the girls are still talking about the wonderful summer
they had. Mollie Hippensteel, Nancy Hyde, Gloria Buckley, and Alice
Eyer came back brown as berries
from working in Atlantic City.
Nancy Oberdorf went with her
family on a motor trip to Denver,
Colorado and spent a wonderful
two weeks touring midwostern US,
Dlann Jones was counselor at the

girl friend organized a day camp

by TU CKY
As the change of seasons brings
a variation in weather, it also
brings variation in types of clothes.
As we look around the campus,
we see the once green leaves putting on a disguise of red , yellow,
orange, and brown hues.
Our co-eds on campus seem to be
carrying out this same pattern and
basing their fall wardrobe on the
colors of Mother Nature.
The versatility of winter cottons
is in evidence this year with Nancy Sue Williams carrying out the
perfect example in a very light
grey cotton with bright vertical
stripes of various colors running
through it. A white pique trim on
the cuffs and at the neck highlight a really attractive outfit.
I see that Olli Bynack has her
eye on winter cottons this year
also. She looked very smart on
her way to class in a medium grey,
two-piece combination with pleated skirt and a matching top, the
top had stripes of red and deep
grey forming a V in the front and
back.
Felt skirts seem to be a popular addition to the wardrobe this
season. I saw Carol Shupp in a
pleated marine-blue skirt, quite
full , with shades of brown running
through in a criss-cross pattern.
Beverly Bryan also made a pretty
picture topping a full black felt
skirt with a pink jersey illu strating the contrast of light and dark
colors.
Olive green is a prominent shade
this season. Joan Christie seemed
to have this in mind the other day
when she sported a trim green
suit consisting of a short j acket
and straight, tailored skirt.
The Hedgerow Theatre play
brough t out a lot of arden worshipp ers of the "finer ar t s". It also
brought out a lot of ardent woring wear. You couldn't help but
notice Susie Hughes in a very
pretty velvet outfit. The j acket is
a very bright plaid trimmed in
black velvet, with a black velvet
skirt to match.
Sally Stallone also made a very
striking appearance in her toastbrown knit suit. She added a pearl
choker at the throat to make her
outfit twice as pretty.
Compliments to these and many
others of our co-eds who are making BSTC a very attractive place
this fall.
Education Books
Now in Library
Many new books enter our college library each month, and it is
only fitting that the student body
should be informed about those
of special interest to prospective
teachers.
Here are j ust a few gems for
education students:
These Are Your Children
by
Jenkins, Shacter, and Bauer
This is a book for both parents
and teachers, present and prospective. It is concerned with the development and adjustment of the
child ; it provides physical-psychological descriptions of all aged
children—fro m infants to adults
Suggestions are given for teaching the child how to get along
with others and yet remain true
to himself.
Quackery in the Public School*
by
Alfred Lynd
This book contains a forthright
attack upon malpractice in public
education. Mr. Lynd maintains education has been taken over by
the "Educationalists," a group of
super-professionals , who are remodeling the schools to suit themselves. This book is most definitely
recommended for prospective teachers, for the ideas presented in
it will certainly be encountered
by all teachers.
500 Ideas For the Grade Teacher
by
Echgren and Flshel
This book is a veritable "gold
mine " of information for any elementary teacher who wishes to
make her classes more interesting.
It firis the need of teachers for
fresh appealing material In their
work by supplying ideas that add
zest, variety, and fun to subje ct

such as handicraft , puzzles, riddles, and games for classroom and
playground activities.

The Wesley Fellowship started
off it's new season with a succession of organization and planning
meetings. The first , h eld on t he
third Monday in September at the
Methodist Church, was a get-acquainted program with twenty
members present. The next meeting, mainly a business meeting,
was held on the first Monday of
October. Not too many students
turned out for that meeting either,
but those twenty eager Methodists did some planning. Here's the
outcome—the new officers are :
president, Curtis English; vicepresident , Mary Jane Trefsger ;
secretary and treasurer , Barb ara
Berry. Their adviser is Mr. Chas.
Henry. The members of Wesley
Fellowship like large numbers and
lots of fellowship so they 're inviting you to a hayride to be held
on October 18. All college students
are welcome. The price will be
fif ty cents per person, which includes a ride to a country church
outside of Numedia and plenty of
substantial refreshments. So be on
Long Porch at 7:00 p.m. next
Monday.
Now Knox Fellowship is different; the Presbyterians invite all
the Presbyterian faculty members
to their meetings—and believe me
it's a success. They have doubled
the membership of last year. First,
meeting, held September 20, 1954,
wa s a p icnic supper at a cottage at
a nearby creek. After an evening
of sharing kichen duty and discussions, dungaree clad girls rode
home in faculty member's cars.
The second meeting was held on
October 4, 1954 , at which time the
following officers were elected:
chairman, Victor Michael ; vicechairman, Ross Bartelson ; secretary-treasurer, Joan Reider. Their
adviser is Reverened Varre Cummins. All the meetings are planned
as dinner meetings at the homes
of faculty members or at the
Manse, and you'll never guess just
what kind of a program they voted in—one of speakers and discussions—and they enj oy it.
The Newman Club met for the
first time this year on Wednesd ay, October 13, 1954, at 7:30 p.m.
in St. Columba's Hall. New members were introduced and the following offi cers began their duties:
president, Ronald Krafj ack; vicepresident, John Panichello ; secretary, Marion Duricko; treasurer,
Hubert Smoczynski. Their advisers
are Monsignor Burke and Mr. Rygiel. The program for the year was
outlined and a decision was made
to meet only one Wednesday night
a month rather than two. What is
Newman Club lacking? You don 't
have to have large numbers, even
if they are available, to have a
working and active group.
The Lutheran Student Association proves this. Their fifty members had a dinner meeting on September 20 to get acquainted and
another on October , when Pastor
Singer spoke ; but they still aren't
organized. They are planning a
meeting at a nearby cottage on
October 25 to plan the present
year. They do have officers though ;
they elected them last year. They

T54 Season Opens
As Huskies Lick
Mansfield 28-0
Th e 1954 Bloomsbur g football
! season opened on Mt. Olympus
with the Huskies playing host to
" the Mansfield Mountaineers. It
was t h e first game of t h e season
for both clubs.
The openin g minutes of the
game saw Bloomsburg 's Harvey
Bou gh ner return th e visitors' kick
off to the Bloomsburg 35. In two
plays the Huskies picked up 40
yards on runs by Alex Boychuck
; and Jim Browning, but Brown} ing's run was nullified and the
i Huskies were forced to kick. Cocaptain Bob Cumens ' ..first attempt
was blocked but Mansfield' s over

an d Bob's second try rolled dead
on the three.
On their first play from scrimma ge t h e Mounta ineers' quarterback, Joh n Zimmerman , tr i ed to
cross the Bloom def ense wi t h a
spot pass, but alert tackle, Harry
Hughes, from Williamsport , picked
it out of the air and stepped over
the goal for the first Huskie score.
With the Huskies' extra poi nt
sp ecial ist , Charlie Casper , sidelined
with an injury, Cumens was
i
called on for the chore and he
split the uprights to give Bloomsburg a 7-0 lead.
The Mountaineers were in possession again but they found the
Huskie defense a i r ti gh t an d were
forced to punt. Right end, Bobby
Cumens, who had his first kick
blocked , rushed in to return the
deed. Bob Stroup, Huskie left end ,
recovered the ball on the visitor 's

Senior center tor trie .HusKies ,
Ed Connolley, of Dan v ille, was
injured on the play and removed
from the game. X-rays revealed
that Ed had a broken tibia and
will be out the remainder of the
season. It's a tough break (no pun
intended) for both Ed and the
Huskies.
Al Boychuck displayed a little
razzle-dazzle as he broke loose to
the two and then on the next play
Harv Boughner hit pay dirt. Cumens added the point and Bloom
led 14-0.
A clipping penalty against the
Mountaineers on the kick-off placed the ball on the one-yard line.
After picking up a first down the
visitors ' machine stalled and John
Kutney went into punt formation.
Instead of kicking, he elected to
run and was immediately smothered on the five by a host of
Huskies. This time Jim Browning,
Bloomsburg 's all-state back , was
called on to lug the leather and he
fulfilled his j ob by scampering the
five to score. Bobby Cumens toed
the ball through the uprights for
his third consecutive point to give
the Huskies a 21-0 edge.
At this point Coach Jack Yohe
put in his second string. After Joe
Malczyk picked up 15 the Huskies
woro forced to punt. Natishan 's
boot went out-of-bounds on the
visitors 25. A quick pass covered
30 yards to the Bloom 40 and

In the first quarter, after grabbing a Bloomsburg fumble, it took
four plays for the Red Dragons of
t h e Empire State to score , with
the scoring play a pass from Dick

missed the extra point attempt .
Th e Huskies, enraged over t h e
turn of events , took over on t h ei r

the touchdown with Boychuck going around the right end for the
score. Co-captain Bob Cumens
booted a placement f or t h e extra
point. The runn in g of Brown in g

handling of little Bob Dipipi also
helped in this march .
The Huskies grabbed a 13-6

they pounced on a Cortland fumbl e on the Red Dra gons ' 19-yard
line. From t h ere , Browning carried the ball for a first down and

Band Presentation
On October 16, 1954, at 10:30
a.m., the Maroon and Gold Band
will present its annual concert for
Homecoming Day. The hour-long
concert will be held outside of
Waller Hall. This program marks
the first of a series of events taking place on this day.
This is the second year that the
band will be under the direction
of Mr. Nelson Miller, and already
his dreams of a larger band are
coming true with the addition of
eleven more members than last
year. To provide for this enlargement , new uniforms had to be
purchased for both new members
and to replace old uniforms.
A variety of musical numbers
will be played during the concert
which should appeal to every student's taste. In the afternoon the
band will also be on hand for the
football game with Wilkes College.

A Summer To Remember
(Continued from page 5)
The counselors' main j ob was individual supervision. They had to be
constantly looking for disturbances among the children, such as temper
•tantrums, or epileptic seizures. There were no seizures during the camp
session, but there were a few emotional upsets. Psychologists and psychiatrists visited the camp from time to time to observe the children.
The second four weeks, Diann worked in Cabin II with the older
girls. These girls were given an opportunity to gain a sense of responsibility by helping with the younger boys and girls; and they were given
the special name of "j unior counselors.
Of the many memories, both comic and tragic, that Diann brought
home from Willowood, one of the most poignant is the story of the boy
who was afraid of girls. He was about seventeen years old, and his one
phobia was girls—all ages, sizes, and shapes. He was certainly a pathetic
character. Fortunately, the story had a happy ending—during the summer,.he met a girl who was evidently "the one." At any rate she didn't
frighten him , and by the end of the summer, they were sferi everywhere
together.
On the comical side, there was the little boy whose favorite expression was, "Oh , no, not again!" He used it for every situation. Then
there was the little fellow who had to walk around camp with his pockets hanging inside out because he had a habit of collecting everything
from sticks and string to bugs and stones, and using his pockets for a
filing cabinet.
Diann has this to say about her work :
"I don't pity the children. That may sound hard-hearted , but really
it isn't. If you allow yourself to pity them and worry about them , you
work yourself into a state where you can be oE no good to yourself or
to the children. I want to help them In every way I can. I feel thatrjt's
more specially trained teachers and less pity that they need."

Jock Yohe
J ack Yohe in Third
Year As Head Hus ky
Jack Yohe, who is beginning his
third year as mentor of the
B l o o m s b u rg H u s k i e s football
squad, began his athletic career at
Jersey Shore, Pa., High School,
where he played four years of
football under the guidance of
George (Lefty) James, who is now
head coach at Cornell University.
He was varsity quarterback his
j unior and senior years, and also
was a letter winner in track four
seasons, specializing in the high
hurdles.
After g r a d u a t i o n from high
school, he worked for one year
and then entered Lock Haven
STC where he was varsity quarterback four years. His junior and
senior years were banner seasons
for the Bald Eagles as they went
undefeated and were mythical
state champions. Coach Yohe was
named all STC quarterback for his
work in his senior year. He also
lettered in track four seasons at
Lock Haven and played basketball
two seasons and managed the cagers in his last year. As a football
player he was an excellent punter,
passer, and point after touchdown
kicker.
After graduation from college
he began his coaching carer at
Biglerville High School, where he
coached four seasons of football
and basketball, and three of track.
In his firs t season there, he received one of his biggest thrills
in sports. The team lost the first
game of the season and then won
the next eight straight.
The war interrupted his career
at this point, and he entered the
U.S. Navy in March of 1942 as an
athletic officer. He served in this
capaci ty for forty-six months and
was discharged with the rank of
Lieutenant.
After discharge, he attended
graduate school at Temple University where he received the degree of M. Ed. During this time,
he also served as football and
basketball coach at Upper Merion
High School.
In the fall of 1947, he went to
West Chester STC as varsity
backfield coach under the astute
Glen KilJenger. While at West
Chester, he developed such outstanding players as Hirsch and
Prender and also two fine quarterbacks, Spafford and Snyder. The
Golden Rams played in several
Bowl games during this time, in
1947 the Burley Bowl at Johnson
City, Tennesee on Thanksgiving
Day and the Cigar Bowl at Tampa, Florida on New Years Day. In
1948 they returned once again to
the Burley Bowl. He also coached
freshman basketball at West
Chester.
In September of 1952, Jack
Yohe took the position he now
holds as head coach of football a*
the "Friendly College". So far the
Huskies have had two fine seasons
under his tutoring, 5-2-1 in 1952,
and 6-2 in 1953. Mr. Yohe remarked, "the outlook for STC football
this year is good , as the conference is better balanced than it
ever was. Bloomsburg is one of
the better teams and should have
a good season.
Some of his outstanding Huskies
are : Jim Browning, who was all
STC halfback In 1953; Bernie
Mont , who graduated last May ;
an d Bo Ralney, w h o is serv i n g
Uncle Sam, but should be back
next season. The lineman who has
number one spot in coach Yohe's
eye is Tommy Persing, an outstanding guard now in his senior
year at the "Friendly College."
This year Mr. Yohe will take on
a j ob that is rather new to him ,
that of wrestling coach. The
schedule has such teams as Mlllersvllle STC, Lock Haven STC,
East Stroudsburg STC, and other
schools with fine grappling squads,

COLLEGE GRID CAREER ENDED FOR EDDIE CONNOLLEY...
One of the most personable athletes ever to have performed on Mt.
Olympus, or even to have attended the Hill-Top Institution for that
matter, suffered a broken ankle in the locals curtain raiser with Mansfield. We are speaking, of course, of Eddie Gonnolley, who became victim number three in the broken limb department of Husky gridders
since way back in 1946. In the '46 season Tommy Dunn fell prey to a
broken leg but it wasn't until '51 when ironically, it was Eddie Connol-j
ley who suffered a broken arm in scrimmage prior to the West Chester
game making him victim number two and the injury sustained this
season makes him now number three.
Injuries are unfortunately not new
to Eddie, who has a medical list of
football treatments at the Geisinger
which doesn't have to take a back *
seat to anyone. Eddie started playing
football under Ken Bills at Danville
High School in the 48 season, and
became captain of the Ironmen in his
senior year. Besides playing football,
Eddie was also an outstanding basketball and baseball star at the down
river school.
In the fall of '51 Eddie came to the
"Friendly College" as a science and
math secondary student but managed
to find time to win his varsity monagram as a center on Coach Bob Redman's Teachers College championship team of that season. Under
Jack Yohe, Eddie continued to play ¦
great ball at the pivot post and
again become a letter winner during
his sophomore and junior years.
In the spring of '54 Eddie was
elected by the student body to the
highest student office in the college
community, president of the C.G.A. Besides being a member of College :
Council, Ed is also a member of the Science Club and Varsity Club.
Jack Yohe, of course, was counting heavily on Eddie this season,
j ust as he did in the past two seasons; but this season he was sure he
was going to be, as Coach Yohe termed it, "the one that will bring Ed
Connolley into his own as a Teacher College star." This was a bad
break for Ed in his senior year or any year for that matter, but it is
also a break that the Huskies will feel as a team.
When Ed was asked what he thought was the biggest thrill he
realized as an athlete, he said he had never thought too much about
any one thing or any one game in particular because he felt that winning:
every game was just as important as any one contest. To Eddie, being
a member of the championship team was nice, but he thought beating
a team like Mansfield was just as important to the season as, say, West :
Chester or New Haven.
Eddie feels, like most linemen do when asked who was the best !

regular meeting was held Thursday, Sept ember 30 at 3:00 p.m. in

The business of the organization
meeting consisted of an outline of

various individual proj ects during

This project is expected to start in
the near future by various committees of the Science Club and
will probably take a number of
weeks to complete.
At the second meeting, Septemb er 30, Dr. Lanterman gave an excellent talk on his very unusual
hobby — raising of orchids. He
brought with him several of his
pla n ts, to illustrate various phases
in the development and growth of
the orchid , plus a number of clorful slides taken in his own greenhouse.

Copies of the poems, Two Songs
from a Play, A Deep Sworn Vow,
and After Long: Silence, were dis

National Poetry Association in the
past 10 years. Of these, about four
thousand have been accepted for
publication.

ink on one side of a sheet. Student 's home address, name of College and College address must appear on each mss.
Students may submit as many
iv.ss. as is desired. Theme and form

Hi Gang! Is it not great to be back ? Gee, you all look just like we
remember you ! Well, a punch here and there and a few receding hairlines, but other than that, none of you look a day over 50.
I suppose things look about the same to you. Let's see, last year
when Homecoming was here, the lounge and offices weren't finished.
They 've really done a jo b, huh ? Now it's heaps of fun to pay your fees
in that spacious business office , and everyone is trying to get on probation just to get in the Dean's office. From rumors flying around, this is
only the beginning. Keep those alumni dues coming.
Oh! the Scoreboard, too. Many thanks to the class of '48 and '53. We
ju st may have the team run up all kinds of scores on it. So far, they
look like a club that could really go all the way. Let's hope so cause my
jack et from 1951 is about shot). Jim Browning, our all-state from last
year is looking tremendous with about 10 yards per carry, and Alex
Boychuck, who was great in '51 and now back from the army, is looking
about 18 times better than ever. And was it "Yours truly" who said no
one would ever fill Barney Osevala's shoes? Watch this Boughner boy
and he'll come mighty close.
We broke precident this year and elected co-captains for the year,
and two better ball players or greater guys couldn't have been chosen.
Congratulations to Bob Cumens and Tommy Persing. When you see a
good looking Irishman accept the Scoreboard today on a pair of crutches,
you'll only be seeing our C.G.A. president, but a guy who was one of our
greatest competitors — until he knocked three guys down trying to
block a punt against Mansfield and one of the big guys fell on his ankle
and broke it. Hat's off to Ed Connelly, who would be out there on
crutches if the coach would allow it.
There is one thing I vowed to put in my column since the first day
of school. When Bob Groover came back to school, he was listening to
his radio and heard "Sh-Boom" and he said, (quote) "Gee, that's a cute
song. When did that come out?" Of course, it was only number one in
the nation all summer. Nice play, "Brillo."
John Duane Angus is certainly slimming down (247 ) now). He's
living downtown and is doing his own cooking. No wonder he is thinner.
He had Betz down for Sunday dinner and Fred couldn't walk for two
days after. By the way, Fungus also sells pizza. (That's a plug, John!)
"Buzz" Wool, our distance runner, is getting in shape early by chasing Roongo III all over Mt. Olympus on Saturdays. He does look a little
like Ferrili, doesn't he? We might make him give it up because he's
barking in his sleep lately.
We've also added something else — a wrestling team. With all the
state and district champs we have running around here we should do
O.K. We better have something because we have a terrible looking
schedule ahead.
Since I was a freshman , I had always understood that Dean Hoch
had graduated from Penn State. This fall he told us the truth. In the
class of 1903, Dean Hoch graduated from Aaron Burr Institute at Codwalader, Louisiana. The highlight of his athletic career was the game
at Miss. Southern when John (co-captain of the "Fraitors ") had to pole
a raft across the river to get his team to the Miss, playing field for the
Homecoming game in which he kicked three field goals of 40, 47, and 63
yards each to win the game 9-7. This story is straight from the lion's
mouth.
I guess you've all seen the young men around campus whose foreheads looks as if they'd been kissed by a girl with mixed-up lips. These
are the Phi Sigma Pi pledgees—some of the more intelligent menfolk
on campus. Tom Higgins, president of Phi Sig has had his room cleaned
and shoes shined more this week than the other two years he has been
in school.
When we scrimmaged Lycoming, did ya see that burly new line
coach we had ? None other than John Panichello, new assistant to Mr.
Shelley. He may not know everything about football, but he can holler
instructions lounder than anyone else. Punch may be back in the lineup today though after a leg inj ury .
We've just gotta get those lights left on later now that all the
electrical work is finished. Charlie Pope already broke both his big toes
banging around in the dark.
Is it true that Joe Kwak is getting up a petition against the chocolate milk machine because there's no refund on the empties ?
Maybe Jo Graeber will learn not to befriend lonely kittens now. I
learned the same lesson Saturday night, Jo. 'Don't feel be.d. (Tame cat,
too!)
Well, -once again, it's swell to see you back, and don't wait for the
next homecoming to do it again. We sure need your support at the athletic functions. We don 't get any from our own students!
See you at the game.

SPIRIT OF HOMECOMING
It is not long since you
As Freshmen came up College Hill
To work and play where nearby the Susquehanna flows
Since time was old and things were still.
Like you, others saw beauty with each season pass.
Colors-green in summer everywhere
Then brown leaves fall and white snow drifting down
Until only pine and hemlock were not bare.
Year after year now students came and went
Un t il, you too, were here in this long file
But soon you will go and others come
Who in their turn will only stay awhile.
But, in a way, you do not go from here.
For every student leaves something here behind.
Something that lingers after they are gone
Something that lingers on in every mind.
Bloomsburg has taken the opportunity of this Homecoming
Day to honor the many authors
among her faculty, alumni and
students. A colorful display featuring many of these authors has
been set up in the college library,
and some of each writer's work
has been included in the display
so that students and Homecoming
Day visitors may see the fascinating materials and varied content
of the publications.
Although every effort was made
to get information on each author,
it was not possible in every case.
Anyone having additional information is asked to notify the
Maroon and Gold, and this material will be used in the planned
future articles on individual writers.
Included in the library display
are the publications of many of
our current faculty and administation heads. For example, Burgess Business Law by President
Andruss, Growing in. Citizenship
by Mr. Barton, and Bowe Typing
by Mr. Rygiel.
Also displayed are What Happens Is by Mrs. Marie Colt Reese,
who is a B.S.T.C. graduate and
has written this amusing book
? about Mrs. Clarice Hummel, another BSTC graduate, and alumna
Eleanor Sands Smith's book of
poetry, St. Martin's Summer. A
famous BSTC writing team is Mr.
and Mrs. John Bakeless. Our library contains five books by Mr.
Bakeless, including books about
Daniel Boone and Christopher
Marlowe. Mrs. Bakeless (nee Little) has written several books
such as Story Lives of Great
Composers, and Birth of a Nation's
Song.
Two members of the class of
1954 had magazine articles published: David Newbury breaking
into "The Commonwealth" with

Student Opinion
FRESHMAN ORIENTA TION
Colleges and universities have all opened for the fall session and
students by the thousands have "had their first taste of higher learning.
A great many institutions, nearly all, we probably should say, make a
special effort to prepare the freshmen for what amounts to a brand new
life.
The process of endeavoring to set freshmen on the right path in
college is usually called orientation, which means in effect getting into
right relationship to the people and things around you. As 9 general
rule the better part of a week is dedicated to orienting first-year students, and it is none too long a time, at that.
The average freshman at college is being asked to bridge one of the
widest and most i mportant gaps that will come along in his experiences.
As a senior in high school, he was something of a so-called Big Shot* As
a freshman in college he will be the lowliest of the lowly. The transition
is swift and substantial, and it calls for majo r adju stments.
Ordinarily, too, the boy or girl from elementary school through
high school is constantly supervised, advised, urged, prompted and
admonished. At home and at school someone is very apt to be expressing
curiosity as to whether class work has been done, and if n ot , why not,
and all that sort of thing. Discipline, in a word, is visible, audible and at
times tangible.
Entrance into college means that the student is far more largely on
his own. It is assumed he will do what he is supposed to do, and a violent
assumption it may be. The student can also come and go pretty much
as he pleases, set his own hours of work and play, appoint his own sorts
and periods of recreation. As far as many freshmen know, no one is
checking on anything, though the contrary is emphatically true.
Fortunate the student who takes the trouble to realize the need for
orientation and makes the required effort to acquire it. Meantime the»
colleges and universities are to be commended for their increasing consciousness of their obligation to do whatever they ggn to bridge the
chasm between being a high school senior and a college freshman.
Behind Close d
Door s
by Ken Weir
By this time, many uninformed
upperclassmen have told their
Freshmen counterparts that College Council is an organization
that during the course of the college year becomes so bogged down
with red tape, that nothing is accomplished by the group. Nothing
could be farther from the truth.
With the help of the other
twenty-six members of Council, I
will attempt to show you what the
Council does and to introduce to
you some of the people and the
problems that they bring along to
our meetings on the second and
fourth Monday of each month.
First I want to assure you that
each of us has the sincere desire
to express the ideas of every Carl
Campus and Cathy Co-ed at
BSTC. Roongo and the squirrels
have few problems compared to
those that occur among us humans entren ched on College Hill.
There seems to be no limit to the
requests that come to each meeting.
For instance at the first meeting we carried no less than ten
items of business. We approved
our budget and set the time of our
bi-monthly meetings. Then it was
decided that the College Council
should eat as a group in the Dining Room before each meeting.
The scheduling of an all-college
record dance on Wednesdays from
8:30 to 10:00 p.m. was approved
and placed on the campus calendar.
Since the Bookstore is in the
process of moving to Navy Hall , it
was decided to distribute the tickets for the four Civic Concerts
that are held at the local hi gh
school to the students as they
leave the last assembly prior to
the concert. A committee was appointed to study the attendance
and interest in those worthwhile
concerts. Attendance has been
low, but the quality of the programs is usually very high ; the
lack of support is hard to understand. We must realize that we
could not obtain nearly as much
for our money if we were not cooperating with the local townspeople in bringing such artists to
BJoomsburg,
We were told that the policy of

What 's Your
Opinion?
by Judy Ulmer
A colorf ul new fashion has appeared on the campuses of colleges and universities throughout
the nation — Bermuda shorts.
When asked "What do you think
of Bermuda shorts?" , the following BSTC students replied:
Sally Stallone: "They 're dear!
However, in order to wear them
well , one 's legs can 't be too long,
too sho rt , too heavy or too thin—
so let's face it girls—even though
we hate to admit it , there are
few of us who do not fit into one
of those catagories. "
Bernadine Butz: "I can 't see
anything wrong with wearing
them on campus for special
events, but I disapprove of wearing them downtown."
Jo Atkinson : "No t on ly do I
think they 're real cute, but I also
thi nk they 're here to stay on college campuses. They make a very
neat appearance."
•
Bob Arbogast: "Bermuda shorts
are not the most feminine apparel
to hit the market, but I do think
they do j ustice to tall women."
Nancy Sue Williams: "I think
th ey 're fine for relaxing in the
dorm. I particularly like the gray
flannel ones—they're very attractive."
Evelyn Weaver: "I think Bermuda shorts are the proper thing
to wear to those certain sports
events. Th ey can be combined
with sweaters and blazers to give
a girl a neat appearance. "
Dick Strine: "Bermuda Shorts
definitely belong more in Blooms.burg than in Bermuda. Incidentally, my favorite color is charcoal."
Ken Weir: "Some other small
schools that at first did not allow
Bermuda shorts have now realized
that they are here to stay. Just as
guys laughed at white bucks when
they firs t came out, we all wear
them now. I predict that in a few
years Bermuda shorts will bo
widely accepted among guys. I do
not advocate wearing them to dinner or to classes, but I definitely
think they have a place on campus
for casual wear, why must we be
different?"
story comparatively short, we
stayed until 7:55 p.m. discussing
The various angles of our Freshmen Customs.
We felt that the genial President got things off to a good start.
We talked about a lot of things
in that hour and twenty-five minutes. Ed kept things moving along
In a way that deserved the title,
"Mister President."
"Turn slightly more to the left.
That's it! Now, hold that pose."
Probably through a similar experience, m any of the st uden ts of
BSTC came to meet Keith McKay,
editor of the 1955 Obiter, BSTC's
yearbook. A native of Harrisburg,
Keith graduated from Swatara
Township High School in 1951 and
came to Bloomsburg in the fall of
the same year.
While in high school, Keith followed a j ournalistic interest, being
feature editor of the high school
paper for two years, and edito r of
the senior yearbook. He was also
class president for three years, beginning with his sophomore class.
Besides his political and journal istic attractions , Keith was vocally
inclined. He became a member of
the Men 's Chorus and the Mixed
Choir and encouraged many of his
iriends to join the organizations.
Keith' s interests are all-inclusive—painting and sketching, photography, swimming, and 'j ournalism. He also has a fine collection
of Operettas at home, but this
doesn 't prevent him from being an
avid sports fan.
It was only logical that when
Keith came to college, his interests
would come with him. He immediately won the trust of his fellow
classmen and was elected president of his freshman class. With
his experience and love for photography, Keith became staff photographer for the Maroon & Gold.
This past spring saw the results
of Keith's hard work with the
black box and flashbulbs — the
the Photographic Salon which is
destined to become one of the main
attractions of Alumni Day. His
other activities while on "the
Campus on the Hill" include: Fire
Drill Committee Chairman, Men 's
Chorus, Bloomsburg P l a y e r s ,
Chairman of the Obiter Co-ed
Cont est, and a member of the two
fraternities for which he is eligible
—Phi Sigma Pi, and Kappa Delta
Pi.
Upon graduating, Keith hopes to
teach biology; that is, if a certain
Uncle by the name of Sam does
not have some other "position "
available.
With his variety of talents and
interests, Keith should do well in
any situation. Good luck, Keith,
from all at the "Friendly College
en the Hill".
DAY WOMEN S
'
NEWS
by Bertie Knouse
Well, we're all pretty well back
into the swing of things, now t h at
the first frantic weeks of the new
school year are over. We've renewed fri end ship s with all of t h e old
gang, and already have made some
new friends. We've said hello to
the old familiar halls and rooms,
and found a few changes for the
better. For instance, the girls ' day
room looks fresh as a daisy with
the crisp new drapes. They 're a
cheerful green print, and make the
room look so elegant. The kingsize green bulletin board is a much
needed improvement , since much
of the girls ' correspondence with
the rest of the college depends on
it. New lockers right in the room
are convenient, and a new arrangement of the furniture makes the
room look much more spacious.
The first social event of the new
year for the Day Women 's Association was the tea held Wednesday, September 8, in honor of the
twenty-five new students. The tea
was planned by the social chairman, Shirley Redline, and committe members : Diann Jones, Carolyn Yost, Janet Wintersteen , and
Nancy Hyde. There were short
speeches by the adviser of Day
Women, Miss Margaret Waldron ,
and the president , Pat Hartman.
Pat welcomed the girls to the day
room and Introduced the other officers, who are vice-president,
Carol Nearing; secretary, Juno
Reese; treasurer, Nancy Ebersole ;
house chairman, Lovell Lindenmuth; social chairman , Shirley
Redline; publicity chairman, Arlene Rando ; social service chairman , Hope Home. Punch and cookies were served.
Many of the girls are still talking about the wonderful summer
they had. Mollie Hippensteel, Nancy Hyde, Gloria Buckley, and Alice
Eyer came back brown as berries
from working in Atlantic City.
Nancy Oberdorf went with her
family on a motor trip to Denver,
Colorado and spent a wonderful
two weeks touring midwostern US,

As the change of seasons brings
a variation in weather, it also
brings variation in types of clothes.
As we look around the campus,
we see the once green leaves putting on a disguise of red , yellow,
orange, and brown hues.
Our co-eds on campus seem to be
carrying out this same pattern and
basing their fall wardrobe on the
colors of Mother Nature.
The versatility of winter cottons
is in evidence this year with Nancy Sue Williams carrying out the
perfect example in a very light
grey cotton with bright vertical
stripes of various colors running
through it. A white pique trim on
the cuffs and at the neck highlight a really attractive outfit.
I see that Olli Bynack has her
eye on winter cottons this year
also. She looked very smart on
her way to class in a medium grey,
two-piece combination with pleated skirt and a matching top, the
top had stripes of red and deep
grey forming a V in the front and
back.
Felt skirts seem to be a popular addition to the wardrobe this
season. I saw Carol Shupp in a
pleated marine-blue skirt, quite
full , with shades of brown running
through in a criss-cross pattern.
Beverly Bryan also made a pretty
picture topping a full black felt
skirt with a pink jersey illu strating the contrast of light and dark
colors.
Olive green is a prominent shade
this season. Joan Christie seemed
to have this in mind the other day
when she sported a trim green
suit consisting of a short j acket
and straight, tailored skirt.
The Hedgerow Theatre play
brough t out a lot of arden worshipp ers of the "finer ar t s". It also
brought out a lot of ardent woring wear. You couldn't help but
notice Susie Hughes in a very
pretty velvet outfit. The j acket is
a very bright plaid trimmed in
black velvet, with a black velvet
skirt to match.
Sally Stallone also made a very
striking appearance in her toastbrown knit suit. She added a pearl
choker at the throat to make her
outfit twice as pretty.
Compliments to these and many
others of our co-eds who are making BSTC a very attractive place
this fall.
Education Books
Now in Library
Many new books enter our college library each month, and it is
only fitting that the student body
should be informed about those
of special interest to prospective
teachers.
Here are j ust a few gems for
education students:
These Are Your Children
by
Jenkins, Shacter, and Bauer
This is a book for both parents
and teachers, present and prospective. It is concerned with the development and adjustment of the
child ; it provides physical-psychological descriptions of all aged
children—fro m infants to adults
Suggestions are given for teaching the child how to get along
with others and yet remain true
to himself.
Quackery in the Public School*
by
Alfred Lynd
This book contains a forthright
attack upon malpractice in public
education. Mr. Lynd maintains education has been taken over by
the "Educationalists," a group of
super-professionals , who are remodeling the schools to suit themselves. This book is most definitely
recommended for prospective teachers, for the ideas presented in
it will certainly be encountered
by all teachers.
500 Ideas For the Grade Teacher
by
Echgren and Flshel
This book is a veritable "gold
mine " of information for any elementary teacher who wishes to
make her classes more interesting.
It firis the need of teachers for
fresh appealing material In their
work by supplying ideas that add
zest, variety, and fun to subje ct

such as handicraft , puzzles, riddles, and games for classroom and
playground activities.

The Wesley Fellowship started
off it's new season with a succession of organization and planning
meetings. The first , h eld on t he
third Monday in September at the
Methodist Church, was a get-acquainted program with twenty
members present. The next meeting, mainly a business meeting,
was held on the first Monday of
October. Not too many students
turned out for that meeting either,
but those twenty eager Methodists did some planning. Here's the
outcome—the new officers are :
president, Curtis English; vicepresident , Mary Jane Trefsger ;
secretary and treasurer , Barb ara
Berry. Their adviser is Mr. Chas.
Henry. The members of Wesley
Fellowship like large numbers and
lots of fellowship so they 're inviting you to a hayride to be held
on October 18. All college students
are welcome. The price will be
fif ty cents per person, which includes a ride to a country church
outside of Numedia and plenty of
substantial refreshments. So be on
Long Porch at 7:00 p.m. next
Monday.
Now Knox Fellowship is different; the Presbyterians invite all
the Presbyterian faculty members
to their meetings—and believe me
it's a success. They have doubled
the membership of last year. First,
meeting, held September 20, 1954,
wa s a p icnic supper at a cottage at
a nearby creek. After an evening
of sharing kichen duty and discussions, dungaree clad girls rode
home in faculty member's cars.
The second meeting was held on
October 4, 1954 , at which time the
following officers were elected:
chairman, Victor Michael ; vicechairman, Ross Bartelson ; secretary-treasurer, Joan Reider. Their
adviser is Reverened Varre Cummins. All the meetings are planned
as dinner meetings at the homes
of faculty members or at the
Manse, and you'll never guess just
what kind of a program they voted in—one of speakers and discussions—and they enj oy it.
The Newman Club met for the
first time this year on Wednesd ay, October 13, 1954, at 7:30 p.m.
in St. Columba's Hall. New members were introduced and the following offi cers began their duties:
president, Ronald Krafj ack; vicepresident, John Panichello ; secretary, Marion Duricko; treasurer,
Hubert Smoczynski. Their advisers
are Monsignor Burke and Mr. Rygiel. The program for the year was
outlined and a decision was made
to meet only one Wednesday night
a month rather than two. What is
Newman Club lacking? You don 't
have to have large numbers, even
if they are available, to have a
working and active group.
The Lutheran Student Association proves this. Their fifty members had a dinner meeting on September 20 to get acquainted and
another on October , when Pastor
Singer spoke ; but they still aren't
organized. They are planning a
meeting at a nearby cottage on
October 25 to plan the present
year. They do have officers though ;
they elected them last year. They
are : president , Richard Bittner;
vice-president, Charlotte Rummage ; secretary, Betty Hoffman ;
treasurer , Jean Griffiths. Mr. Clayton Hinkel is the adviser.
The Reformed College Fellowship delayed their first meeting because of the death of Reverened
Schnorr. Its first meeting was held
on October 13 at the Evangelical
and Reformed Church. The program was a business meeting for
the purpose of organization , with
games and refreshments following.
The new officers are : president,
Doris Brown; vice-president , Mary
Romig Rager; treasurer, Willar
Snyder; secretary, Christine Boop,
Mrs. Walter Nealy is the adviser.
Will the Reformed Fellowship be
able to keep up with the hayrides
and discussion-dinner meetings of
1 he other fellowships ? I hear they
hnve homemade ice cream at their
meeting; now ther's an attraction .
The least news comes from the
Canterbury Club of St. Paul's
Episcopal Church. Believe it or
not , they 're still looking for a convenient meeting night.
Remember—"For where two or
three are gathered in my name,
there am I In the midst of thorn."

for both clubs.
The openin g minutes of the
game saw Bloomsburg 's Harvey
Bou gh ner return th e visitors' kick
off to the Bloomsburg 35. In two
plays the Huskies picked up 40
yards on runs by Alex Boychuck
; and Jim Browning, but Brown} ing's run was nullified and the
i Huskies were forced to kick. Cocaptain Bob Cumens ' ..first attempt
was blocked but Mansfield' s over

on the three.
On their first play from scrimma ge t h e Mounta ineers' quarterback, Joh n Zimmerman , tr i ed to
cross the Bloom def ense wi t h a
spot pass, but alert tackle, Harry
Hughes, from Williamsport , picked
it out of the air and stepped over
the goal for the first Huskie score.
With the Huskies' extra poi nt
sp ecial ist , Charlie Casper , sidelined
with an injury, Cumens was
i
called on for the chore and he
split the uprights to give Bloomsburg a 7-0 lead.
The Mountaineers were in possession again but they found the
Huskie defense a i r ti gh t an d were

Senior center tor trie .HusKies ,
Ed Connolley, of Dan v ille, was
injured on the play and removed
from the game. X-rays revealed
that Ed had a broken tibia and
will be out the remainder of the
season. It's a tough break (no pun
intended) for both Ed and the
Huskies.
Al Boychuck displayed a little
razzle-dazzle as he broke loose to
the two and then on the next play
Harv Boughner hit pay dirt. Cumens added the point and Bloom
led 14-0.
A clipping penalty against the
Mountaineers on the kick-off placed the ball on the one-yard line.
After picking up a first down the
visitors ' machine stalled and John
Kutney went into punt formation.
Instead of kicking, he elected to
run and was immediately smothered on the five by a host of
Huskies. This time Jim Browning,
Bloomsburg 's all-state back , was
called on to lug the leather and he
fulfilled his j ob by scampering the
five to score. Bobby Cumens toed
the ball through the uprights for
his third consecutive point to give
the Huskies a 21-0 edge.
At this point Coach Jack Yohe
put in his second string. After Joe
Malczyk picked up 15 the Huskies
woro forced to punt. Natishan 's

In the first quarter, after grabbing a Bloomsburg fumble, it took
four plays for the Red Dragons of
t h e Empire State to score , with
the scoring play a pass from Dick
Powell to Jim Bentley. Cortland
missed the extra point attempt .
Th e Huskies, enraged over t h e
turn of events , took over on t h ei r

the touchdown with Boychuck going around the right end for the
score. Co-captain Bob Cumens
booted a placement f or t h e extra
point. The runn in g of Brown in g

handling of little Bob Dipipi also
helped in this march .
The Huskies grabbed a 13-6

they pounced on a Cortland fumbl e on the Red Dra gons ' 19-yard
line. From t h ere , Browning carried the ball for a first down and

Band Presentation
On October 16, 1954, at 10:30
a.m., the Maroon and Gold Band
will present its annual concert for
Homecoming Day. The hour-long
concert will be held outside of
Waller Hall. This program marks
the first of a series of events taking place on this day.
This is the second year that the
band will be under the direction
of Mr. Nelson Miller, and already
his dreams of a larger band are
coming true with the addition of
eleven more members than last
year. To provide for this enlargement , new uniforms had to be
purchased for both new members
and to replace old uniforms.
A variety of musical numbers
will be played during the concert
which should appeal to every student's taste. In the afternoon the
band will also be on hand for the
football game with Wilkes College.

A Summer To Remember
(Continued from page 5)
The counselors' main j ob was individual supervision. They had to be
constantly looking for disturbances among the children, such as temper
•tantrums, or epileptic seizures. There were no seizures during the camp
session, but there were a few emotional upsets. Psychologists and psychiatrists visited the camp from time to time to observe the children.
The second four weeks, Diann worked in Cabin II with the older
girls. These girls were given an opportunity to gain a sense of responsibility by helping with the younger boys and girls; and they were given
the special name of "j unior counselors.
Of the many memories, both comic and tragic, that Diann brought
home from Willowood, one of the most poignant is the story of the boy
who was afraid of girls. He was about seventeen years old, and his one
phobia was girls—all ages, sizes, and shapes. He was certainly a pathetic
character. Fortunately, the story had a happy ending—during the summer,.he met a girl who was evidently "the one." At any rate she didn't
frighten him , and by the end of the summer, they were sferi everywhere
together.
On the comical side, there was the little boy whose favorite expression was, "Oh , no, not again!" He used it for every situation. Then
there was the little fellow who had to walk around camp with his pockets hanging inside out because he had a habit of collecting everything
from sticks and string to bugs and stones, and using his pockets for a
filing cabinet.
Diann has this to say about her work :
"I don't pity the children. That may sound hard-hearted , but really
it isn't. If you allow yourself to pity them and worry about them , you
work yourself into a state where you can be oE no good to yourself or
to the children. I want to help them In every way I can. I feel thatrjt's
more specially trained teachers and less pity that they need."

Jock Yohe
J ack Yohe in Third
Year As Head Hus ky
Jack Yohe, who is beginning his
third year as mentor of the
B l o o m s b u rg H u s k i e s football
squad, began his athletic career at
Jersey Shore, Pa., High School,
where he played four years of
football under the guidance of
George (Lefty) James, who is now
head coach at Cornell University.
He was varsity quarterback his
j unior and senior years, and also
was a letter winner in track four
seasons, specializing in the high
hurdles.
After g r a d u a t i o n from high
school, he worked for one year
and then entered Lock Haven
STC where he was varsity quarterback four years. His junior and
senior years were banner seasons
for the Bald Eagles as they went
undefeated and were mythical
state champions. Coach Yohe was
named all STC quarterback for his
work in his senior year. He also
lettered in track four seasons at
Lock Haven and played basketball
two seasons and managed the cagers in his last year. As a football
player he was an excellent punter,
passer, and point after touchdown
kicker.
After graduation from college
he began his coaching carer at
Biglerville High School, where he
coached four seasons of football
and basketball, and three of track.
In his firs t season there, he received one of his biggest thrills
in sports. The team lost the first
game of the season and then won
the next eight straight.
The war interrupted his career
at this point, and he entered the
U.S. Navy in March of 1942 as an
athletic officer. He served in this
capaci ty for forty-six months and
was discharged with the rank of
Lieutenant.
After discharge, he attended
graduate school at Temple University where he received the degree of M. Ed. During this time,
he also served as football and
basketball coach at Upper Merion
High School.
In the fall of 1947, he went to
West Chester STC as varsity
backfield coach under the astute
Glen KilJenger. While at West
Chester, he developed such outstanding players as Hirsch and
Prender and also two fine quarterbacks, Spafford and Snyder. The
Golden Rams played in several
Bowl games during this time, in
1947 the Burley Bowl at Johnson
City, Tennesee on Thanksgiving
Day and the Cigar Bowl at Tampa, Florida on New Years Day. In
1948 they returned once again to
the Burley Bowl. He also coached
freshman basketball at West
Chester.
In September of 1952, Jack
Yohe took the position he now
holds as head coach of football a*
the "Friendly College". So far the
Huskies have had two fine seasons
under his tutoring, 5-2-1 in 1952,
and 6-2 in 1953. Mr. Yohe remarked, "the outlook for STC football
this year is good , as the conference is better balanced than it
ever was. Bloomsburg is one of
the better teams and should have
a good season.
Some of his outstanding Huskies
are : Jim Browning, who was all
STC halfback In 1953; Bernie
Mont , who graduated last May ;
an d Bo Ralney, w h o is serv i n g
Uncle Sam, but should be back
next season. The lineman who has
number one spot in coach Yohe's
eye is Tommy Persing, an outstanding guard now in his senior
year at the "Friendly College."
This year Mr. Yohe will take on
a j ob that is rather new to him ,
that of wrestling coach. The
schedule has such teams as Mlllersvllle STC, Lock Haven STC,
East Stroudsburg STC, and other
schools with fine grappling squads,

COLLEGE GRID CAREER ENDED FOR EDDIE CONNOLLEY...
One of the most personable athletes ever to have performed on Mt.
Olympus, or even to have attended the Hill-Top Institution for that
matter, suffered a broken ankle in the locals curtain raiser with Mansfield. We are speaking, of course, of Eddie Gonnolley, who became victim number three in the broken limb department of Husky gridders
since way back in 1946. In the '46 season Tommy Dunn fell prey to a
broken leg but it wasn't until '51 when ironically, it was Eddie Connol-j
ley who suffered a broken arm in scrimmage prior to the West Chester
game making him victim number two and the injury sustained this
season makes him now number three.
Injuries are unfortunately not new
to Eddie, who has a medical list of
football treatments at the Geisinger
which doesn't have to take a back *
seat to anyone. Eddie started playing
football under Ken Bills at Danville
High School in the 48 season, and
became captain of the Ironmen in his
senior year. Besides playing football,
Eddie was also an outstanding basketball and baseball star at the down
river school.
In the fall of '51 Eddie came to the
"Friendly College" as a science and
math secondary student but managed
to find time to win his varsity monagram as a center on Coach Bob Redman's Teachers College championship team of that season. Under
Jack Yohe, Eddie continued to play ¦
great ball at the pivot post and
again become a letter winner during
his sophomore and junior years.
In the spring of '54 Eddie was
elected by the student body to the
highest student office in the college
community, president of the C.G.A. Besides being a member of College :
Council, Ed is also a member of the Science Club and Varsity Club.
Jack Yohe, of course, was counting heavily on Eddie this season,
j ust as he did in the past two seasons; but this season he was sure he
was going to be, as Coach Yohe termed it, "the one that will bring Ed
Connolley into his own as a Teacher College star." This was a bad
break for Ed in his senior year or any year for that matter, but it is
also a break that the Huskies will feel as a team.
When Ed was asked what he thought was the biggest thrill he
realized as an athlete, he said he had never thought too much about
any one thing or any one game in particular because he felt that winning:
every game was just as important as any one contest. To Eddie, being
a member of the championship team was nice, but he thought beating
a team like Mansfield was just as important to the season as, say, West :
Chester or New Haven.
Eddie feels, like most linemen do when asked who was the best !

regular meeting was held Thursday, Sept ember 30 at 3:00 p.m. in

various individual proj ects during

This project is expected to start in
the near future by various committees of the Science Club and
will probably take a number of
weeks to complete.
At the second meeting, Septemb er 30, Dr. Lanterman gave an excellent talk on his very unusual
hobby — raising of orchids. He
brought with him several of his
pla n ts, to illustrate various phases
in the development and growth of
the orchid , plus a number of clorful slides taken in his own greenhouse.

from a Play, A Deep Sworn Vow,
and After Long: Silence, were dis

Hi Gang! Is it not great to be back ? Gee, you all look just like we
remember you ! Well, a punch here and there and a few receding hairlines, but other than that, none of you look a day over 50.
I suppose things look about the same to you. Let's see, last year
when Homecoming was here, the lounge and offices weren't finished.
They 've really done a jo b, huh ? Now it's heaps of fun to pay your fees
in that spacious business office , and everyone is trying to get on probation just to get in the Dean's office. From rumors flying around, this is
only the beginning. Keep those alumni dues coming.
Oh! the Scoreboard, too. Many thanks to the class of '48 and '53. We
ju st may have the team run up all kinds of scores on it. So far, they
look like a club that could really go all the way. Let's hope so cause my
jack et from 1951 is about shot). Jim Browning, our all-state from last
year is looking tremendous with about 10 yards per carry, and Alex
Boychuck, who was great in '51 and now back from the army, is looking
about 18 times better than ever. And was it "Yours truly" who said no
one would ever fill Barney Osevala's shoes? Watch this Boughner boy
and he'll come mighty close.
We broke precident this year and elected co-captains for the year,
and two better ball players or greater guys couldn't have been chosen.
Congratulations to Bob Cumens and Tommy Persing. When you see a
good looking Irishman accept the Scoreboard today on a pair of crutches,
you'll only be seeing our C.G.A. president, but a guy who was one of our
greatest competitors — until he knocked three guys down trying to
block a punt against Mansfield and one of the big guys fell on his ankle
and broke it. Hat's off to Ed Connelly, who would be out there on
crutches if the coach would allow it.
There is one thing I vowed to put in my column since the first day
of school. When Bob Groover came back to school, he was listening to
his radio and heard "Sh-Boom" and he said, (quote) "Gee, that's a cute
song. When did that come out?" Of course, it was only number one in
the nation all summer. Nice play, "Brillo."
John Duane Angus is certainly slimming down (247 ) now). He's
living downtown and is doing his own cooking. No wonder he is thinner.
He had Betz down for Sunday dinner and Fred couldn't walk for two
days after. By the way, Fungus also sells pizza. (That's a plug, John!)
"Buzz" Wool, our distance runner, is getting in shape early by chasing Roongo III all over Mt. Olympus on Saturdays. He does look a little
like Ferrili, doesn't he? We might make him give it up because he's
barking in his sleep lately.
We've also added something else — a wrestling team. With all the
state and district champs we have running around here we should do
O.K. We better have something because we have a terrible looking
schedule ahead.
Since I was a freshman , I had always understood that Dean Hoch
had graduated from Penn State. This fall he told us the truth. In the
class of 1903, Dean Hoch graduated from Aaron Burr Institute at Codwalader, Louisiana. The highlight of his athletic career was the game
at Miss. Southern when John (co-captain of the "Fraitors ") had to pole
a raft across the river to get his team to the Miss, playing field for the
Homecoming game in which he kicked three field goals of 40, 47, and 63
yards each to win the game 9-7. This story is straight from the lion's
mouth.
I guess you've all seen the young men around campus whose foreheads looks as if they'd been kissed by a girl with mixed-up lips. These
are the Phi Sigma Pi pledgees—some of the more intelligent menfolk
on campus. Tom Higgins, president of Phi Sig has had his room cleaned
and shoes shined more this week than the other two years he has been
in school.
When we scrimmaged Lycoming, did ya see that burly new line
coach we had ? None other than John Panichello, new assistant to Mr.
Shelley. He may not know everything about football, but he can holler
instructions lounder than anyone else. Punch may be back in the lineup today though after a leg inj ury .
We've just gotta get those lights left on later now that all the
electrical work is finished. Charlie Pope already broke both his big toes
banging around in the dark.
Is it true that Joe Kwak is getting up a petition against the chocolate milk machine because there's no refund on the empties ?
Maybe Jo Graeber will learn not to befriend lonely kittens now. I
learned the same lesson Saturday night, Jo. 'Don't feel be.d. (Tame cat,
too!)
Well, -once again, it's swell to see you back, and don't wait for the
next homecoming to do it again. We sure need your support at the athletic functions. We don 't get any from our own students!
See you at the game.
