evening showing: of "Fashions Out of This World."

Dr * Andruss Given
Service Pla que at
Education Meetin g
Dr. Harvey A. Andruss, who
directed the destiny of the Business
Education Department, passed on
much of the credit for that department to his co-workers and Dr.
Francis B. Haas, as he received a
plaque in recognition for outstanding service at the College
last Saturday.
In accepting the plaque at the
noon luncheon that concluded the
annual conference of the Eastern
Division of the Pennsylvania Business Educators Association, Dr.
Andruss remarked, "I am deeply
grateful and most appreciative of
this award. But I think that in
giving this award you are honoring
a lot of people.

who made the decision and application for a business education
department here. I am grateful to
him, because he selected me to
come here. You are honoring the
peoplehe helped me select. Today
in honoring Dr. Haas, you are also
honoring these faculty members."
Touching on problems of the
institution, including too many
students for next year, and of the
business education profession, Dr.
Andruss pointed out that school
department heads in the state
have less time to supervise and
improve instruction.
j rreseniauon oi me awara was

made by Morgan E. Foose, president of the PBEA division. The
session opened in the morning
with sectional meetings and a
general session in Carver Auditorium preceding luncheon. The general ession speaker was Les Giblin ,
originator of the Les Giblin Sales
Clinic, who pointed up the needs
of human relations. He advised
„, working with people, encouraging
" people to talk about themselves,
learn to agree with the other fellow, and smiling.

are associated with the particular
buildings. The cover of duo-tone
green features Carver Hall. The
black-and-white pictures will be
captioned, with the exception of
group shots.
The editor-in-chief has a varied
j ourn alistic career while at
B. S. T. C, having been associated
with the annual publication as
publicity chairman, in his sophomore year, and as a member of the
editorial baord in his junior year.
He has also been actively connected with the college newspaper
during his four years at Bloomsburg. He was the Editor of the
1954 Olympian, the college literary
publication; and he served on the

¦Do You Sleep Well at Night?

by Ken Weir

Once again green ivy is climbing skyward, in its disorganized
way, along the brick walls of Waller, Carver, and North Halls. In a
few days the dread testing that
precedes the close of a semester,
will begin. Another class will prepare to leave old Bloomsburg, and
with mixed emotions, say goodbye
to their college days. George Derk
will be giving the traditional Ivy
I>ay oration, and the rusty old
spade that makes its annual appearance will be turned over to the
Class of '56. It seems that the
"college set" has always loved the
twisting and turning ivy, but as
we wander about the campus we
see many Ivy Day markers where
no ivy grows. At one time a graduating class took much ceremony
to plant some there, but we have
allowed it t o disappear with th e
massing of time. On this Ivy Day
it might be well to make sure that
we have a few of those shiny
leaves growing beneath every
bronze marker on campus.
Through the combined efforts of
the College Council, the Faculty
Association, and the Board of
Trustees, we have forwarded five
hundred dollars to the Bloomsburg
Hospital for the refurbishing of
Room 322. This room, which the
College maintains, will have a
fresh coat of paint, new drapes,
furniture of the latest design, and
a motorized bed. Surely this is a
lasting tribute to our ability to
share in the completion of a
worthy project.
Another tribute to the year's
activity was the College Council
banquet at the Hotel Magee, on
Monday evening, April 25. Both
Doctor Andruss, and our former
Dean, Doctor North, spoke favorably concerning the work of the
Council during the past school
year. Joining in the fellowship of
a delicious dinner seems a most
fitting way to close the work of
a Council, and to turn the responsibility over to the newly elected
offi cers.

Dainty silvery waist, shining
satin skirt, sparkling shoes with
taps describe the costume of a pert
little miss on the BSTC campus.
Who ?—you ask. Just tune in on
any of BSTC's talent shows, and
before your eyes, MARY HOFFECKER will dance her way to the
stars. Dancing is not the only talent of this energetic young lady.
Her high school career proves this
as she was active in varsity basketball, the captain of the hockey
team and captain of the cheerleaders. Memberships in the Honor
Society and Choir were another
phase of her high school life. Her
"showman" qualities were displayed in the Senior Play and Spring
Frolic.
BSTC has also become aware of
Mary 's varied interests. She has
been a cheerleader for three years
and captain of the cheerleaders in
her sophomore and junior years.
Her other activities have included
Women 's Chorus, Dramatic Club,
Obiter Advertising Staff . Customs
Committee, Co-ordinator for Fashion Show, and Governing Board of
Waller Hall. Mary has displayed
her dancing ability in the Obiter
Show, Freshman Talent Show, and
All-College Talent Show. Pi Omega Pi Fraternity has been given
much of Mary 's time, and in her
j unior year she served as president
of that organization. College Council has placed much responsibility
on her shoulders in naming her
Social Recreation Chairman . Even
though our "Miss Profile" is racing from meeting to meeting, she
still finds time to greet everyone
with a sweet smile.

from Yeadon High School, from
which she was graduated in 1952.
Mary is a junior at BSTC in the
Business curriculum. The fine reputation of BSTC graduates will be
upheld by Mary when she enters
the teaching profession. She surely
will be the "peppiest" teacher in
the school system.

TOP to TOE
BY TUCKY

Well, folks, this is it, only three
more weeks to go! You can always
tell when school is nearing an end.
Baseball games start rolling, we
all have spring fever, and (of
course) our co-eds switch to their
bright summer cottons.
Gloria Harris looked very sweet
in her aqua blouse with a small
painted collar and pretty white
buttons down the front. Her full
dark brown skirt with small aqua
leaves scattered through it made
her look very petite.
A dark background with wide
red and yellow vertical stripes
made an attractive outfit for Nancy Renn at lunchtime the other
day.
Rusty Miller 's brown sleeveless
dress contrasted with her strawberry blonde hair. Her dark striped bolero j acket added j ust the
right touch to her stunning outfit.
A deep rose sundress with tiny
white flowers supporting a rhinestone center looked sweet on Peggy Lynch. Her white pique bolero
j acket with the Peter Pan collar
looked just right with her pretty
dress.
Jo Ann Tressler has a most unusual bright summer skirt. It
stands but very full with its yards
of chintz. A red . white, and black
block design of little keys and
flowers makes it one Jo won't have
to worry about being copied.
Marta Dimon made an attractive appearance the other night at
dinner in her new candy-striped
blouse. The three-quarter length,
puffed sleeves, and high neck looked especially attractive on Marta.
Anyone who likes pink will fall
in love with Jan Ference's pretty
nylon shantung dress. Sleeveless,
with a V-neckline, empire waist
and full, full skirt—you couldn't
help but notice Jan 's lovely outfit.
Congratulations to the Juniors'
for their fine Grecian dance. Added to the attractive scenery were
the many beautiful evening gowns.
We hardly ever see shades of
rust or brown on the dance floor ,
but Verna Sweeney looked lovely
in her flowing net gown which contrasted so well with her long blond
hair.
Bert Hendrickson looked as
sweet as could be in aqua net.
Tiered and covered with white nylon in a tiny flowered design, her
gown would take a prize anywhere,
especially when she turned around;
and you saw the pretty apron effect in the back with a big taffeta
bow. Very sweet on Bert's petite
figure .
For the men of B.S.T.C
well, you continue to enjoy yourselves, watching our pretty co-eds
. . . and those tangerine shirts!
Keep it up, we like it!
That's about it for now. One last
word to the wise: don 't let it get
you down, May 13th will be here
before you know it!

When an unpleasant situatio n in a college becomes so obvious as
to warrant special dormitory meetings, locked doors, and mounting
suspicions on all sides, it is time for the college publicatio n, theoreticall y
rep resentative of the students , to express its opinion. Such a problem
is the p resent one of increasing theft in the dormitories.
It may be argued that a pro blem of this type is one of a partisan
nature , in that it concerns dormitory students more directly than the
rest of the college population. But when the actions of a few reflect
upon the char acter and reputation of the entire college community,
' it is no longer a partisan problem , in our opinion.
it also might be said that such a delicate and distasteful subject is
one not suited for a newspaper editorial. However, we believe that
editorials are designed to express student opinion on ALLsubjects . . .
not merely to praise , to cajo le, or to eulogize. The situatio n that exists
should be eliminated , not avoided . . . those few rotten apples in the
barrel should be exposed , not covered up.
We do not question the fact that the problem is a real one . . . we
know it is. Nor do we questio n the motive . . . simple greed and
rationali zed need will cover that, But we DO question the f itness the

qualifications , the character of the prospective teacher who would
stoop so low as to steal the p ersonal belongings and hard-earned
money of his friends and class mates.
The thoug ht that such a perso n will leave Bloomsburg, if he is not
discovered , to teach America's youth the values of life makes us cringe
to think of the results.
. .But even more than this, we wonder just how this student can pass
his victims in the halls , smile at them in class, dance with them in the
lounge , or drink a cup of coffee with them at the Grille. It surely must

College, both in New Jersery.
At present, Mrs. Smith resides in Benton with her husband and three
children . In addition to her duties as housewife and mother, she is editor of "Poetry Corner," in the Morning Press of Bloomsburg. She is

Yeats, Dylan Thomas, and the great romantic poet, John Keats. Her
writing has been further inspired by tales of the Bront sisters, and by
The Golden Bough, which she considers as "an eternal source." Her interests range from philosophy and ancient religions to astronomy and
science.
The poetess says that in the beginning she was Interested in writing
as a means of expression only. Soon she was very gratified to discover
that her poetry had a strong communicative value as well. She began to
write with additional purpose at age eleven, although she had her first
article published in Etude, the music magazine, at age ten.
Mrs. Smith's book, St. Martin's Summer, has drawings by Ruth Hutton Ancker, formerly of Bloomsburg, The volume is divided into several
sections, each developing a facet of her personal philosophy. The poems
read very well and lend themselves to a rich understanding of man and
nature. Her works show many romantic elements, such as the countryside with children and animals of long ago. She captures in her landscape a certain medieval tone; yet, the reader finds himself in harmony
with it , Her couplets are particularly fine, and she frequently uses varied rime schemes which are vitally alive in their effectiveness.

The N
Test Week ? ? ?

'Twas the night before test week
And all through the school,
Not a student in bed, not even a
fool.
The books were all jumbled on the
desks without care,
And piles of papers were strewn
everywhere.
The students were slouched over
their desks,
Half-dead in the process of cramming for tests.
Their eyes were half-open ; their
faces looked weary.
Their minds were all whirling; the
pages were blurry.
'Twas a day in our test week
And all through the school,
The atmosphere was eertaJnly
drool.
You never saw such a mixture of
facts
As those Bloomsburg students carried under their hats.
There were partenogensis, Balzac,
and osmosis.
There were x's and y 's, Pope, and
hypnosis.
There were Lincoln. Mendel, Edison, and Grant.
You can be sure that this knowledge was terribly scant.
'Twas the day after test week
And all through the school,
Not a student was laughing, not
even a fool.
The once-smiling faces looked bitter and grim.
And goose pimples stood out all
over the skin.
Students were walking with heads
bent to the ground.
They frowned and scowled but
never uttered a sound .
The air soon was filled with gripes
and slams,
For. you see, these poor students
had flunked their exams.
Did you know . . .
That a column, "The Students
Speak" appeared in the M & G
so long ago?

Dr. Hoggard Guest
Director at Annu al
College Festival
The sixth annual Pennsylvania
Collegiate Choral Association Festival was held at Slippery Rock
State Teachers College on April
23, 24 and 25, with eight students
from B.S.T.C. participating. Those
students who attended were: Robert Ebner, Sam Hall, and Harold
Herritt, Tenors; Dotty Horning
and Deanna Morgan, Sopranos ;
Bill Phillips, John Sandier, and
Don Schlauch , Basses.
The chorus presented a fourpart program of varied styles and
types of music. Part I consisted of
"O Praise the Lord," "Gloria in
Excelsis," (three choruses from
the Requiem Mass) "Lacrymosa,"
"Sanctus," and "Hosanna." Included in Part II were "Jesu, Joy
of Man's Desiring," "Te Deum,"
"Mary, Mary, Where is Your
Baby," "Two Kings," and "Great
and Glorious." The third section of
the program was comprised of
"April Is In Her Lovely Face,"
"The Lark In the Morn," "Shenandoah," "Ode to Starlight ," "Gently Johnny," "No Man. Is An Island," and "Hail Bright Abode."
"I Hear America Singing" composed the final section of the program .
A very rigorous schedule was set
up and followed to the minute.
Rehearsals occupied most of the
days and the nights until 9:30.
Recreation was provided in the
spare hours by the Social Recreation Committee with swimming,
dancing, and banquest on the
agenda.
The chorus was worning unaer
difficulties throughout the program. The chapel where the concert was to be held was condemned, and the organ could not be
moved from it. The rehearsals,
therefore, had to be held in the
Gymnasium, and a portable organ
was used. The orchestration for
the brass accompaniment to Wagner's "Hail, Bright Abode" wasn't
available, so the professorof music
from Indiana S.T.C. pencilled the
orchestration at the first rehearsal. These difficulties were overcome by the willingness and cooperation of all people concerned.
The chorus was composed of students from Bloomsburg S.T.C,
Clarion S.T.C , Drexel Institute of
Technology, Edinboro S.T.C . Indiana S.T.C, Franklin and Marshall College, Grove City College,
Hershey Junior College, Lebanon
Valley College, Lock Haven S.T.C,
MillersviUe S.T.C, Mt. Mercy College, Pennsylvania Military College, Pennsylvania State University. Seton Hill College, St. Vincents College, Slippery Rock S.T.C.
Susquehanna University, West
Chester S.T.C, and Westminster
College.
The chorus was directed by Dr.
Lara Hoggar d who also conducted
the first two of Penns ylvania's
College Choruses. Dr . Hogard first
received nat ional recognition as
director of the high school chorus
at Durant , Oklahoma , and later at
the Universit y of Oklahoma when
his men won the special prize for
"finest chora l artistr y" at the finals of the Inter-collegiate Glee
Club competition at Carnegie Hall.
For seven years Dr. Hoggard was
choral director of Fred Warin g's
Penns ylvania ^ and princi pal instructor at the Warin g Summer
Worksho ps. His concert group,
"Festival of Song," which toured
in 1953, received highest pr aise
from critics and audiences in
eighty-five cities , In addition to
his work with professional groups ,
Lara Hoggard is nationall y Known
as teacher, lecturer , festival conductor , choral arran ger, and editor
(Shawnee Press) . He now lives in
Hemet , California , where he serves
as Minister of Music in the Methodist Church . In addition to the
Penns ylvania Collegiate Chor al Association Festival , Dr . Hoggard
will conduct more than thirty
festivals and workshop s throughout the United State s this year.
Dr . Hoggar d said the chor us
was undoubtedly the best one he
had conducted and expressed his
desire to direct it for a. month ,
take it on tour , and then to Car negie Hall. After the progr am was
presented , the audience was reluctant to leave. When the chorus
started to sing farewell to Dr.
Hoggard , the audienc e filed back
into the gymnasium . The 140
voices of P. C. C. A. Festival were
of one voice when they sang "Auld
Lang Syne" . , , hats off to a
really great man and musician.

JOHNNY HALCOVICH CAPTAINING THE HUSKY NINE. . .
One of the main-stays of Doc
Wagner 's veteran-packed infield
this season was Johnny Halcovich,
former Shamokin High Greyhound
great, in his fourth year as a
diamond regular for the Bloom
baseball squad. John paced the '54
Huskies at the bat, with a homing
.425 average, and in the first five
games of the '55 season has hit

safely six times, which is better
than an avgrage of one hit a game.
For the past three seasons, Johnny
was the first string second sacker
for the College Hill boys, but with
a surplus of good material at the
keystone sack. Doc Wagner moved
John over to third base so the
easy-going, free-swinger could display his versatility at the hot
corner.
John is the third of the Husky
athletic captains this season that
is fr om Shamokin , (Tom Persing,
a co-captain in football and Red
Welliver who captained the mat
squad). While at Shamokin High
School, John played two years of
varsity basketball and captained
the Greyhound cagers of Coach
Frank Van Devender a former
Bloomsburg great himself . John
earned his varsity monagram three
years in baseball also, while
playing under Coach Bob Head ,
and in his senior year also was the
captain of the diamond crew, so it
is easy to see that he had a good
back ground not only for being
the good ballplayer he is but for
the chores of the Huskies field
leader as well.
In the fall of '51, after his
graduation from Shamokin High ,
John started at the Friendly
College as a secondary student,
majo ring in science and math . In
the sprin g of '52, John made his

first varsity letter under Coach
Bob Redman as the on),y frosh
in the starting line-up. It was
during this season that John saw
and played with the two best baseball players he has seen on Mt.
Oly m pu s , Don Butler and George
Lambrinos. Butler was an outfielder that could really hit the
long ball, while Don played organized ball in the farm chains of
both the Pirates and the Cards.
Lambrinos a big catcher from
Johnson City, New York graduated
from Bloom and went south to
play in the Texas-Arizona League,
and other minor leagues .
In the summers Johnny keeps
in shape by playing in the Shamokin City League; while powdering
the ball over the lot in this capacity, he played with two different
championship teams , Shamokin
Home Association and Krebs. John
never was able to win the batting
crown in this Hague, but he was
payed a great tribute two different
years and that was the Best
Sportsmanship Award, which is
given annually by the league to
the player that demonstrates the
best elements of good sporstmanship on and off the field.
After graduation this spring,
John is like many other male
graduates, pledged to Uncle Sam
for a couple of years; but after
that teaching and coaching are to
be given a try by the personable
athelete , so good luck and our best
wishes goes out to a guy that
has played a lot of base hits over
a period of four years for the
Huskies.
BLOOMSBURG WINS SECOND
PLACE IN MILE RELAY . . .

Last Friday Coach Shelly took five
of his fastest cinder pounders to
Philadelphia for the 61st annual
running of the Uuiversity of Pennsylvania's famed Penn Relays and
the Husky thin clads were able
to take second place in the mile
relay of the State Techers Colleges
behind West Chester.
The relay team which won silver
medals for their efforts in this
Nationally televised carnival, was
John Wool who ran the first leg
of the journey, Ross Bartleson
the second, Eddie Watts the third ,
and Jim Browning the anchorman.
At the passing of the baton from
Wool to Bartelson, Bloomsburg
was between a third and fourth
place in the race, Ross then took
the Maroon and Gold team into
a strong second place and was
challenging the winning West
Chester team when his quarter of
the race was completed. Watts
and Browning were then able to
hold this place but West Chester
was never challenged again as
they sped the distance in 3:29
while Bloomsburg ran a creditable
3:33.

Bloomsburg was also a contestant in the Half-Mile Relay of
America and took' fourth place in
the heat , which was one place out
of the qualifying requirements.
This relay team was made up of
Jim Browning, John Wool, Eddi e
Watts and Al Tusker running the
final 220 yards.
It was somewhat of a thrill to
Coach Shelly, as this was the first
time he has taken a team to the
Franklin Field Classic that was
able to win medals and turn in
such a fine showing. Bloomsburg
has another chance to avenge this
West Chester defeat, and that
being at the State Championship
meet of the Teachers Colleges.

another homer.
The Huskies bounced right back
in the ball game in the home half
of the fourth . Fisk and Boughner
singled to start things off , Bob
Stroup's attempt to sacrafice was
thwarted as pitcher Williams
threw to 3rd to pick off Fisk. and
Stroup went to 1st on the fielders
choice. The double steal was on
and Stroup and Boughner advanced to 2nd and 3rd. Bob Cumens singled to score Boughner
and advance Stroup to 3rd, the bal
was thrown to the catcher to keep
Stroup from scoring and Cumns
went to second on the play. Shustack grounded to 3rd and Bob
Stroup raced home as the 3rd
baseman decided to get Shustack
at 1st.
In the 6th inning Boughner led
off with a single, stole 2nd, went
to 3rd on a wild pitch, and scored
on Shustack's double to rightcenter field.
Bloom added 3 more runs in the
8th, when Stroup reached 1st on
an error. Terry Zackowski followed suit and also got to 1st
safely on a miscue. Shustack continued his hitting ways and singled
Stroup home and advanced Terry
to 3rd. Zackowski then scored on
a wild pitch. Bob Boyle entered
the game as a pinch-hitter for the
pitcher, and drew a walk forcing
Shustack to 2nd , Another newcomer into the lineup, John Oustrich, who promptly singled and
drove Shustack home with the

Over Lock Haven Golden Avalanche
The Huskies of Bloomsburg
State Teachers College remained
in the unbeaten ranks by defeating
Lock Haven Teachers Saturday,
6—3. The game was played on
Mount Olymp us. It is interesting
to note that it was the first time
that Bloomsburg beat their archrivals since 1951. That year they
split , Bloom winning at home and
losing at Lo ck Haven.
Saturday the boys from Lock
Haven scored two quick runs in
the first inning. Coach Wagner
started lefty John Huda. They
scored two runs on a single, error,
a base on balls, and a single to
drive in the two runs. On a very
unusual play the Bloomsburg deHaven off third base to prevent
further damage.
Huda settled aown alter tnat
and retired the side with little
trouble in the second. In the bottom, half of the inning, how ev er,
things started to "pop " for the
enthusiastic gathering. Back to
back singles by Stroup, Cumens,
and Casper brought one run across.
Bob DiPipi then drove two more
home with a solid single to left
putting the home team ahead.
Lock Haven tied the score in
the fourth on a base hit through
the middle and a hard hit grounder
to short that DiPipi booted, and
a single down the right field line.
There was a force out and strike
out sandwiched in.
The Huskies took the lead again
in the fifth inning when Halcovich
beat out a grounder to short and
when the throw went into center
fi eld , he ended up at third base.
Harv Baughner then brought him
in with a long tripl e. The Huskies
picked up two insurance runs in
the lucky seventh. Halcovich lined
a single to center and went to
third on a hit-and-run single by
Fisk . Ed Shustack then poked a
single into right, scoring Halovich.
A t thi s point , Mulchan came in
to pitch for Lock Haven. Both
runners advanced on a passed ball.
Fisk scored on Stroup 's fly to
right to make it 6—3.
Huda hails from Factoryville,
Penna., where a few years back
another pretty fair pitcher made
his home. His name—Christy Matthewson.
Mulchan who came in to pitch
for Lock Haven in the seventh,
pitched four hitless innings the
day before against Juniata College.

The charges of Coach E. Paul
Wagner made it four in a row
when they j ourneyed to Kutztown
to take the Golden Avalanche to
task by a 11—9 count in a grueling
battle that lasted over four hours,
and saw the lead change hands no
less than seven times.
Doc Wagner used four pitchers
in an attempt to save his third
league victory, and Kutztown used
three hurlers in a hitters contest
that saw the Huskies post fourteen
hits and the Golden Avalanche
mark-up thirteen.
Bloomsburg scored two runs in
their half of the scond but Kutztown came right back and notted
the score in the bottom of the second inning. Bloomsburg posted its
third run in the top of the third
and the Berks County tutors added
three to their cause in the bottom
of the thi rd. Kutztown picked up
another two runs in their half of
the fourth making the score read
Kutztown 7- Bloomsburg 3, after
six full innings.
The Lads from the Hill went
to work in the top of the seventh
when th ey had a big five run rally
to put them in a commanding 8—7
lead. Kutztown came right back
in the bottomof the seventh frame
and posted another run to again
knot the score, this time eight all.
Bloomsburg went scoreless in their
portion of the eighth, but the Avalanche picked up another to give
them an 9—8 advantage.
in the Huskie halt of the ninth,
Bob Boyle put the finishing
touches to the Kutztown nine
when he pinch singled to drive in
two urns and coupled with another
run gave the Locals a final lead
of 11—9. John Huda, the frosh
sensation, came on in the bottom
of the ninth and pitched the final
three outs to insure the victory.
It was a big day at the plate
for Eddie Shustack, the fleetfooted center fielder, as he hit
safely four out of five and scored
four big runs for the Husky caust.
Harv Boughner and Chuck Casper
also had two hits each.

Spring has sprung, fall has fell, the grass is riz, and here we is.
This weather makes you sorta wanna choke ,up inside—or at least
go swimming. Mr. Yohe warned Allen Kleinshrodt four times to stop
swimming in the sink when Buzzie wasn't around to play lifeguard. Mr.
Yohe says the next time it happens he's going to pull the plug; and little
Al's only comment is, "The cold water faucet makes a real great diving
board."
Looking for wild flowers can be fun ; but why climb the Catawissa
Mountain ? Judging by the after-effects of a recent field trip, it can be
dangerous—especially for new nylons, unless runners are the latest style.
Miss Mettler thinks, and we qifote, "Field trips are blah!!" If she thinks
they're "blah", we wonder what Garry LeVan and Larry Petusky think
of them. (Th ey carried her half way up the mountain.) Then, too, there 's
the little episode about Lew Nather slipping on a patch of moss, falling
six feet, and landing in a brook on his you-know-what. This reminds us
. of a little rhyme:
I wish I was a little fish ;
I wish I was a bass;
I'd climb up on the rocks and trees
And slide down on my . . . hands and knees!!
By the way, they did get some wild flowers.
Sit back, relax, and try to picture this: Oggie is taking, of all things,
Polish lesson from, of all people, Miss Weir. He's headed for big things—
Polish interpreter for one of the Plymouth bars. With a name like Kosloski, how can he miss? ?
What do you think about a pitcher who can pitch a 30-0 shut-out
giving up only one scrawney single ? Better watch out, Ski, Joan Yohn
could prove to be stiff competition if they ever start signing up girls
for the local team. That great big goose egg belonged to Jo Graeber's
club.
Charles Abbrenmoha has been earning extra cash by selling wallets
and lighters in the dorm. We also hear he's pretty good at detective
work. Now there's an idea for a summer job!
The Grecian Dream brought quite a few visitors to campus and
had some of our guys walking around in a dream of their own. Elmer
Robinson's girl (who was very sweet) had him floating on a pink cloud
all weekend. He had that sad-eyed-cocker-spaniel look on his face as she
drove away from Long Porch on Sunday. Those goodbyes are tough to
take; but cheer up, Elmer, there're only ten school days left.
It was also ding-a-ling-switch weekend. The guys went on strike
and let their girls do the driving. Barbie Lentz didn't seem to mind
being behind the wheel of Johnny Pippi's brand new 1955 shinny red
and black Pontiac convertible. (Who would??) On days like these;
we'd even settle for Red Welliver 's little hot rod. There isn't mu ch room,
* but who needs room ?
Who said that sixth graders aren 't human ? Mike Moran was teaching his class to sing "Shoo Fly Don't Bother Me," and they were having
a real rough time with the chorus; so like a good little music teacher,
Mike proceeded to sing a solo. The kids had the brass to laugh at him,
and poor Mike felt so embarrassed that he strolled over to the window
and hung his head. Soon there was a tug at his coat sleeve by a chubby
little girl who said apologetically, "Tha t 's all right, Mr. Moran, I can 't
sing either."
Things are tough all over! Guess who has a job at the Magee Coffee
Shoppe—waitress work no less! ? Shirl Seiler served her firs t day of hard
labor on Saturday. She even missed the baseball game to do it—horrors!
Shirl says she'd be glad to serve anyone from the campus so long as
they leave a heavy tip. Please be generous because Rosie Pavlick is (Collecting 10% for teaching her the tricks of the trade.
We really got a lot of kicks out of writing this column, and we
hope to be back next year and see all of you here too. Don't forget to
read Arnie 's column next issue — it's the last one of his college career,
you know. We hope that our feet grow big enough to follow in his size
fifteen footsteps.
Since this is our last column, Ed Mugavero is on our necks to mention his name. After all, we wouldn't want anyone to feel slighted! Now
that that's taken care of, we can say, "So long for the summer!"

Her Mother Never Told Her

How well she remembered that parental advice.
"Beware of those quiet and those extra nice.
Be sweet little lad y—come home from the dances.
Stay away from park benches—don 't take any chances.
"Don't believe all you hear—they all have a line..
Don't trust them too near you or you'll have a time.
Remember the dear boy you'll leave back home,
He'll spend all his evenings sitting alone."
She went off to college prepared for the worst.
Beware to the boy who'll date her first.

She'd travel at night with her left hook all ready3
Not to be swayed by a fast flirting Freddy.
But, oh, at college, to her surprise,
She found a lack of available guys.
Those who weren't married were going steady,
Lots of slow Sams but no sign of Freddy.
"Mom, the boys stand around; they don't even dance.
To use my left hook, I'll ne'er get a chance,
So mom, I'll spend my evenings alone,
Writing to the boy who sits back home.
