Moon ", by Vern Sneider. is the

controversial subj ect chosen by
George Herman, a student of English II. Mr. Sneider, a relatively
unknown author, wrote this novel,
a satire on American military
government, and it was later optioned to John Patrick, who
adapted it to the stage and created
a sensation on Broadway. This
is the point of Mr. Herman's study :
Why was the original author overlooked, since Patrick won much
acclaim for "Tea House of August
Moon", including the Pulitzer
Prize? As part of his research ,
George Herman wrote to both Mr.
Sneider and Mr. Patrick. He received a most warm and informative letter from Sneider and a
very cool letter from the secretary
to Patrick's agent refusing to give
out any information.
All this is part of a most interesting project being undertaken
by the members ot Mr. DeVoe's
English II class. They are working
on library papers which differ
from the usual English research
papers in that they deal, tor the
most part , with modern American
literature.
Mrs. Betti& Cobley has an interesting topic. She is reiuting

The research on these and other

Put the Star of Bethlehem Back
Into Our Nation's Flag

Christmas is big business. Santa Glaus will carry a billion dollar pack
to the nation's children this year. Store managers prepare months
ahead for the boom in trade which begins at Thanksgiving. As the
season approaches they induce people to overspend by offering "Christmas specials". Some go so far as to send carols and hymns into the
streets or through the store over loudspeakers. Clerks with tired feet
wait on customers with droop ing shoulders—not much "good will toward men" there. How rewarding it must have been when pioneers
fashioned their gifts with thoughtful care.
Carloads of evergreens are shipped into cities and distributed to
street corners and markets where shivering people come to choose one
and dicker over the price. Our hearty forefathers hiked into the woods
to chop down their tree and drag it home. Making the decoration of
cranberries and popcorn was a family affair. Yule displays are more
extravagant than ever with their colored lights and animated figures.
When the children see Santa's workshop, visions of sugar plums don't
dance through their heads. No, they are too busy adding to the list of
"I wanna" by persuading their parents that they have been good
enough all year to merit a bicycle and a watch.
Our nation's children years ago were thrilled if they received a corn
silk doll or homespun shirt. What has happened?
Into a wide, strange wilderness,
O u r Fou nding Fathers came,
And walk ing hand in hand with God ,
Th ey built a land of fame —
Of peace and gre at prosperity
And then we went astray,
We dropped our guiding Shepherd 's h a nd ,
And went th e oth e r w a y!
Put back the star of Bethlehem
into our Na tion 's flag,
And God will raise that Banner high
While evil hosts go cring ing by;
And broken , groping peoples
Will f o llow where we've trod!
Put back His star , then near and far
We'll lead the word to God.
— by George Graff
How can you , as teachers , citizens ,
of Bethlehem back into our nation 's
pile of unaddressed Christmas cards
ribbon long enough to consider the
doing.

A Gift for Michael

and Christians help put the Star
flag ? Come out from under the
and untangle yourself from the
real meanings of what you are
j

by DORIS BROWN

"Sniff!"
*
A large tear fell into a tiny, pillow like cloud.
"Sniff , sniff!"
Two more tears fell, and the cloud became a little bigger.
"What is it, Michael ? Is something wrong?" a deep, masculine voice
asked gently.
"Oh!" Michael looked up, startled . "Sir, I --1 -- didn't - - -". He brushed away his tears.
"You didn't what, Michael?" The Voice was ever so soft and gentle.
Michael trembled. "I - -1 didn 't think you could hear me, Sir."
"Now, Michael," the Voice reprimanded kindly, "y ou know I can h ear
everything."
"I thought, well, you are always so busy and since I'm so little and
unimportant — "
"Michael, you know that everyone is important to me," the Voice stated matter-of-factly. "Now tell me why you are crying."
"Well, Sir, it's like this . Every angel has someone on earth to watch
over. Every angel 'cept me, and, golly Sir, I sure would like to watch
•
over someone!"

"But you are very small, Michael and inexperienced. Guardian angels
must be reliable and dependable ," the Voice explained.
"Gee whiz!" said the small angel, "I only wanted to guard a little
person . And besides how can I get experience if I can't be someone's
guardian angel?"
"It's such an important job," the Voice said.
"I know, Sir. I've listened to the others talking about it. You assigned
Angela to watch over someone. If she can do it, why can't I?"
"Well- -" the Voice began.
"Please, Sir , please ? I'll be very, very careful; and I'll try hard to
be reliable."
"If you are sure that is what you want?" the Voice was questioning.
"Oh, I do, I do!" cried Michael gleefully.
The Voice went on , "There is a baby boy being born. You may take
care of him for the first few years . of his life. However, you must be
exceptionally watchful. This baby is very important. "
"I will, Sir. Oh! I will!" the tiny angel broke in. He was almost jumpIng for j oy.
"If you ever need any help, come to Me. I will always be close by."
The Voice was a bit stern.
"Yes, Sir, I will," promised Michael soberly. Wait until I tell the
others! he thought . "Oh," he said as an afterthought , "where can I find
this very important baby?"
The Lord pointed to a very bright light in the heavens. "Do you see
that ? Under the star is a stable. Go there quickly ! You will find the
baby wrapped in swaddlin g clothes and lying in a manger."

Last week at C.G.A., Joan Yohn,
a recently elected member of
Council was introduced. She will
act as woman representative of
the Sophomore Class.
Since the constitution of all college organizations must be approved by College Council, Elmer
Robinson, president, submitted the
Dormitory Men's Constitution.
After several revisions-were made,
the Constitution was adopted.
The chairman of the Awards
Committee presented several
policy revisions on the point
system, for awarding service keys.
This committee will present more
information at the next meeting.
Our Husky Lounge will finally
sport a new 24" table model TV
set which will be financed by the
Furniture and Equipment Reserve
for Refunds and New Projects.
The members of College Council
have been asked to remind students to refrain from lingering
outside the dining room until the
last few minutes of serving time.
At the present time, regularly
scheduled meetings are still being
announced in assembly. Council
agreed to inform the Assembly
Committee to remind the criers to
disregord these since announcements are supposed to be turned
into Dean Hoch's office for public
posting.
lhe next meeting or college
Council will be held December 12
before our Christmas recess.

Honor Roll of Hits
To use the old adage—"Merry
Christmas everybody". Even Stan
Freeburg is saying that these days
on his latest record, "Th e Nigh t
Before Christmas". To follow that
one up, you could try listening to
Spike Jones' "The Night After
Christmas".
As you can easily see by that
last paragraph, the Christmas
spirit is really moving in. Carols
and hymns, favorites of past years
and even centuries, are being recorded even more beautifully than
ever . For some unusually good
listening in the line of Christmas
music try listening to "An Album
of Christmas Music by Monatvoni".
Along with the standards of the
past "Blue Christmas", "I'll Be
Home for Christmas", and "White
Christmas", each year there seems
to be a novelty tune that makes a
big hi t . For example, we have had
"Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer"
and "All I Want For Christmas
Is My Two Front Teeth". Well,
this year a little man is making a
big hit with his recording, too. It
is, of course, "I'm Gettin ' Nuttin'
for Christmas" by lititle Barry
Gordon.
say, ao any or you rememDer
Helen Kane ? Well, if you don't
remember the name you may remember her as the "Boop-boop-adoop Girl" of the flapper age. She
is making a comeback and has j ust
recorded an extended single play
for MGM. The songs recorded are
some of the classics of the roaring
twenties. They are "That's My
Weakness Now", ''When My Sugar
Walks Down the Street", "Do
Something", and "When I Get You
Alone Tonight".
Speaking or remaie vocalists, we
see where perky Peggy King of
the George Goebel Show has j ust
recorded her first really big hit—
"Learning to Love".
A few other pop hits that certainly must be mentioned are
"Dancing in My Socks" and
"Daddy-O" by Bonnie Lou, "All
at Once You Love Her" by Perry
Como, "I t' s Almost Tomorrow" by
Jo Stafford , "Only You" by the
Platters and "Moments to Remember " by the Four Lads.

We goofed! Our apologies to Don MacLean for an Irish spelling of nisi

Although we agree emphatically that they look better on girls, vvj i
do like sweaters tor men on any campus. Sweaters can be woven in thS
soft and elegant cashmere, or the not-so-expensive lamb's wool, or xnorM
recently, alpaca wool, or the warm, washable, and long wearing man*
made fibers—orlon , dacron, and nylon.

The V-neck classic 'seems to be the favorite at BSTC. Take a loollj
around on some sweatery day. During the week when the laundry doesffl
only five shirts, it even looks fairly well with a T-shirt. It also wears«
well with a tie under a casual suit.
11
We also like the crew-neck pull-over with its variety of patterns ancffl
colors—many in original Scandinavian designs. It can be warn with M
dress shirt; or if your neck is naturally warm, wear it (the sweater)™
alone.

The cardigan coat sweater has emerged this year with a low opening]!
which keeps it hidden under a buttoned suit jacke t. It also doubles as -M
decorative vest when the jacket hangs open . Another substitute for afl
vest is a very sharp European pull-over surplice with or without sleevesjj
Not to omit the turtle neck—this year it seems that some of the necksa
can be rolled different way to show different colors.

Now that, the ice has formed on the lagoon, we can assume that it i Jj

Follow-up Survey Concerns Placement 1
Of 1955 Bloomsburg Graduates
I
What are your chances of teaching school after graduating from a
Bloomsburg State Teacher's College? Will you teach in Pennsylvania?!
How much do you expect to earn the first year ? Most of us at BloomS
have contemplated these questions at one time or another. Last year's a
graduating class found the answers to these queries, and related the 3
information to us through the annual follow-up survey of graduates, 3
ju st completed by the Placement Service of this college. According to 3
Dr. Ernest H. Engelhardt, Directoi- of Placement, all members of the I
class of 1955 replied to the annual follow-up letter.
1
j_.asi year s ciass numDerea xo-a. ui mese, tweniy-one are in tneaa
Armed Services and two in graduate schools. Of the remaining 131 %
available for employment, 120, or ninety-two percent, are teaching s
school. Only five members of the entire class chose to go into gainful !
occupations other than teaching. Five women graduates are married 3
and busy at homemaking. One graduate is unemployed at the present s
time. On the basis of the foregoing information , you may conclude that |
you will probably teach school after leaving college.
gj
Using the class of 1955 as a basis, your chances of teaching in Penn- d
sylvania are better than three-to-one. Only 21% of last year's graduates
accepted teaching positions outside this state. In 1954 34% of the class ^
|
taught out-of-state for the first year. The trend to Pennsylvania is prob- I
ably due to a sligh t increase in beginning teacher's salaries. President J
Andruss, commenting on the Placement report , observed that pending [
legislation providing for regular increments of $200 and additional in- ;
crements of $150, totalling $350 per year, will undoubtedly help to hold ;
presently employed and recently graduated teachers in their home state ''
of Pennsylvania.
Last year's graduates are earning an average of $3,121.36 for their ;
firs t year. That figure is based on 103 known salaries. Beginning salaries •
in Pennsylvania range from $2,400 to $3,700 per year. Eighty 1955 grad- 3
uates, whose beginning salary is known are earning an average salary 3
of $3,042.50 in our state. This compares to an average beginning salary J|
of $3,352.18 paid to our 1955 graduates teaching out-of-state . You can
earn anywhere from $3,000 to $3,800 during your first year of teaching ^J
outside Pennsylvania. However, before you rush to another state to j
teach , you better consider taxes, cost of living, working conditions, and m
I*
numerous other factors which affect your job .
In conclusion , if you follow the trend set by the majority of our 1955 "!
class , you will teach school in Pennsylvania, with a beginning salary of ;
'
j
$3,042.50.

VETERAN S
' PIPE LINE .

RICH

"Congratulations. Mac, you sure look like a proud father." "Gl ad t o
see you finally tied the knot, Joe." "So you chased her till she finally
caught you!"
These are but a few of the cheery greetings most of us vets have
experienced or may experience in the future. But where do we go from
here? What must be done to receive an increased allotment from the
Veterans Administration ?
i
The veteran who seeks an increased allowance for his wife, should,
after indicating the change on his monthly "Certification of Training"
sheet, send to the VA a certified or photostatic copy of his public or
church record of marriage, along with a VA form called "Declaration
of Marital Status." Other records will be needed if the veteran, or his
wife, have been married before.
in the event that an increase in the family takes place, the veterantrainee should submit to the VA a certified or photosatic copy of the
public birth record or baptism certificate of the child.
In order for an increased allowance request to be retroactive, it must
be made within 45 days of the marriage date or child' s date of birth.
The evidence of marriage or birth—respective certified or photostatic
copies—must then be submitted within one year of original request. The
actual retroactive payment will not be made, however, until the VA
receives the necessary establishing entitlement to the extra pay.
Finally, veteran-trainees should promptly notify the VA if any of the
following occur:
(1) They change their address.
(2) They plan to change their training program.
(3) They leave or drop out of training.
(4) Their dependency status is changed, through divorce, birth of a
child , or death of a dependent.
In notifying the VA, a veteran should be sure to give his claim number
and full name and address, because all veterans' records are filed by
claim number , and by using the claim number a veteran can assure himself of faster service.
* * *
Payment Stops
Q. If a Korean veteran has 32 months and 14 days of eligible education and training under the Korea GI Bill, which would take him one
month into the last 18-week semester, would payments stop then ?
A. Yes, since settlement runs out with less than a maj or part of the
semester completed. Under the GI Bill where a veteran attends a school
which operates on a quarter or semester basis and his period of entitlement ends after a maj or part of a quarter or semester, his entitlement
will be extended to the end of that quarter or semester.
* * *
Education and LoaiiH
Q. If a veteran used the education benefit of the Korean GI Bill,
would he be entitled to use the GI loan guaranty ?
A. Yes. Use of one benefit does not deny a veteran his right to the
other.

Never Paid Up
Q. I am a world War II veteran and would like to know if a five-year
policy is ever paid up?
A. No. Term NSLI is renewable every five years with the premium
based on the insurer's attained age at time of renewal.

Q. Is the $110 I receive monthly from the VA subj ect to federal Income tax ?

Thirty Year Rivalry
Between Bloomsburg
And West Chester

For many years West Chester
has been one of our strongest
oponents. The history of this
rivalry is an interesting one.
On October 30. 1925, Bloomsburg
State Normal School lost a football game to West Chester State
Normal School by a j score of 12-0.
This game is the earliest on record, as found in past issues of the
Maroon and Gold . Evidently at
thi s time very little interest was
shown by the school as only two
or three short sentences were devoted to the entire game.
The following year, 1926, there
was a short pre-game write up,
stating that this was a traditional
battle . How ev er , no results were
found as to the outcome of the
game.
aioomsi>urg again
in
192 ( ,
played and lost to West Chester.
This year, however, there was a
change to be noted in the game.
Bloomsburg was no longer a State
Normal School, for only one week
prior to the game, it was reorganized as a State Teachers College.
In 1928 and '29, Bloomsburg
fared no better than in preceding
years. West Chester remained the
stronger of the two teams in each
game. More spiri t seemed evident
by the fact that much more information was given concerning the
details of the game.
From 1930 up until 1949. the
Huskies and Rams did not participate in competition with each
other.
In 1950 the rivalry was renewed,
West Chester again being the
victor, This was the first game
Bloomsburg h ad dropped to any
team in 14 prior games. By being
defeated, Bloomsburg lost the
State Teachers College championship to West Chester.
Because of the pre-game tension
this game became the season's
biggest gridiron attraction . Although these two teams had not.
seen action together for 19 years,
the keen rivalry appeared immediately because of the laurels that
rested on the outcome of the game.
Again in 1951, because of the
supremacy of both teams, the
Bloomsburg-West Chester football
game was the biggest attraction
of the se ason . Three reasons urged
Bloomsburg to win this game.
They were—1. revenge. 2. a possibility of an undefeated season,
3. State Teachers Conference
laurels.
That year, Dig tnings started
popping in preparation for the
game. A parade which included
three bands and the Magee calliope was held. The parade was followed by the best rally ever, up to
that time. A dance was also held
in the lounge afterward. This
week-end was said to have been
the big event of the season . The
one that everyone had looked forward to since October.
The Huskies did not disappoint
th eir followers this time. They
"got back" at West Chester by
beating them by a score of 16-17.
They later went on to finish an
undefeated season, and gathered
all the laurels mentioned above.
In 1952-1953-and 1954 there was
much for the victors of the contest
to gain. Both schools supported
their respective teams to the hilt.
Each had its own parade, pep-rally
and dance. However, for three consecutive years Bloomsburg was
greatly disappointed by the fact
that West Chester proved to be the
stronger in the now classical
battle.
in laDD however, Bioomsmirg ,
retaliated to take a well-deserved
victory over the Rams of West
Chester . Again in this year the
superiority of both teams influenced the tension between the
schools,
Pre-game activities were at an
all-time high . We, at Bloomsburg,
held a parade the night before the
game. Following the parade, a very
successful pep rally was held in
the field adj oining Navy Hall . Still
later in the evening the Day Men
sponsored a dance in the Husky
Lounere.
Signs and displays were prominent on the outside of Waller and
North Halls, A few very original
ones stood out Jn particular,
At the game on Saturday, both %
teams were well represented.
Bloomsburg, in particular, had an
exceedingly hich turnout of students and faculty. The spirit and
playing of the team, made it quite
evident that they appreciated the
interest and enthusiasm displayed
by everyone,
From the general trend of the
past 5 years, I would be willing
to predict that the Bloomsburg'
West Chester rivalry will continue
to grow for a good many years to

come.

'Twas the Eve
Of Vacation

'Twas the eve of vacation
The school was alive.
The instructors were wondr'ing
If they could survive.
The gay decorations
Were hung o'er the place
And gave the old college
A new, cheery face.
A picture of beauty
Was seen all around
For here was gay Christmas
Abund antly found.
This spirit of Christmas
Prevails through the dorms
Though folks had their spirits
In various forms.
The school was sure jumpin '
No one was abed
For only confusion
And fun lay ahead.
And while most of the kids
Kept frolicing keen
The folks in the court
Saw a far different scene.
For , lo , from the sky
(Though contrary to rule )
A jet-propelled Santa
Invaded the school.
And there in his pack,
Oh, his bundle was great,
Were some well-deserved presents:
For old Bloomsburg State.
In his gifts he included
And rightf uly it seems,
A couple of wins
For the basketball teams.
There was a new lounge
Just built for fun
And a brand new lobby
Prettied up for everyone.
There were extra ll:0O's
And lenient rules.
And everything found
In the nicest schools.
They were wrapped up so nicely
In colored arrays,
Yet sprinkled among them
Were much needed A's.
St. Nick spread his presents
It was a fine sight
And so apropros
On this extra gay night.
His work was all finished
His handiwork done
And al that rem ained
Were the parties and fun .
He j umped to his sleigh
A new rocket V-8
And waved a good-by
To old Bloomsburg State.
Yet we heard him exclaim
'Ere his j ourney was through
Merry Christmas to all
And especially to you !

BASKETBALL REIGNS
ON THE MT. OLYMPUS ...
What was meant to have
been only a stop-gap sportone that would tide athletes
over from fall to spring,
keeping them in shape for
"important" spring, summer
and fall sports—has become
a monarch — basketball. It
is difficult to realize that
this relative newcomer to
the sports scene has developed since shortly before the
turn of the century into a
top-ranking spectator event,
leading baseball, football and
all other major sports.
There are a number of
reasons for this j ump in popularity, the most outstanding being (1) the larger
number of teams participating; (2) the relative inexpensiveness from the standpoint of equipment and facilities ; and (3) the speed of
the game and the closeness
of the spectators to the acCoach Harold Shelly
tion.
BASKETBALL IS THE
ONLY MAJOR SPORT OF PURELY AMERICAN ORIGIN . . . It was
invented—and there is no dispute concerning the father of basketball—
by Dr. James A. Naismith, a physical director of the Y.M.C.A. in Springf ield , Mass., in 1891. The first game was played January 20, 1892.
We aren't sure how long basketball has been played on the Blooms[burg campus, but we are certain that it has been an active sport for at
Beast 40 years. The records of the old College Hill dribblers are always
la source of dispute around Pennsylvania's only incorporated town ; a few
|of our philosophical alumni would have us believe that some of the caglers from the center-jump era would have been fair competition for the
|Harleni Globe Trotters or a team they would have been more familiar
with, Boston's Original Celtics. The records of the College's athletie
teams are only recorded from 1932 on, so when they start reminiscing
about the Huskies of the "peach-basket" days they are on fairly safe
ground . We can't dispute the fact that they may have posted win-loss
records that would make any coach proud, but they always fail to
mention the caliber of competition that was scheduled while the Centennial Gym was still a forest . When they are examining, or looking in
retrospect at the "old days" we can never figure out why they don 't
mention that Bethlehem High School was three times victimized by the
powerful Normal School hardwooders the year that Bloomsburg won
19 of their 20 games scheduled. They would have you believe that basketball hasn't been too successful since the Husky camp was moved from
what is today known as the "Husky Lounge." The college has played
their post-war basketball schedule in the Centennial Gym and from
where we have been sitting this has been a very successful era. True,
they haven't won 19 out of 20. but last year's 13 win four loss slate was
the best record we could find since '32 record books.
Coach Harold Shelly has been guiding the destiny of the College Hill
dribblers for the past six seasons and has posted one of the most enviable records in the tutor loop. The Teachers College Conference was
born in the basketball season of 1951-52, the Huskies were champs in
the second year of its existence. After that season the Shellymen lost
six seniors, as a result the following campaign was the poorest for the
Cage Huskies, when they jumped out to a 7 win-one loss first half and
ended the season with a 9 win 7 loss record . The next year Coach Shelly
brought his high-flying Centennial crew back to their winning ways with
this 13 and four record which is still the best on the books.
Coach Shelly is a graduate of Ohio Northern where he excelled in
football , basketball and track. In over fifteen years of coaching the
hardwood sport Harold Shelly has never had a lossing record. Coach
Shelly came to Bloomburg from a coaching position in one of the largest
High Schools in Cincinatti. Since 1949 he has directed basketball and
track on the Mt. Olympus, coached soccer until it was discontinued in
1950, and has served as a line coach for the Husky gridders under Bob
Redman and Jack Yohe. Many of his products on College Hill are now
successful high school coaches as well as some being outstanding professional basketball players.
This year's team has started out as though it were cast from the same
mold as his outstanding teams of other years. They lost the sharpshooting Fred Betz by graduation from last year's squad but have seven
lettermen to draw from for the 55-56 campaign. Leading the pack of
returning lettermen is Keith Weiser, a senior letter winner from his
frosh year on. Keith hails from Kane, Pennsylvania and played for Lobo
Wolves when they were the perennial winners of District Nine. Another
senior is Bob Evans, believed by the Husky camp to be the shortest
center in the tutor loop, Bob is a former Coal Township dribbler. The
only other senior on the squad is the former Radnor great, Mo Morson.
Mo, along with Keith and Bob, played on the undefeated freshman team
oC four years ago . This was the team that was coached by Buck Byhm.
This Saturday, Millersville will invade the Centennial Gym. Millersville is to our baske tball rivalry what West Chester is to our football
hopes. We lost twice to the Bishopmen last season, and as a matter of
fact , have not beaten them since the championship team of 1952-53 toppled them on our own hardwoods. Our chances for annexing another
teacher crown will, of course, depend largely on beating Millersville because they are the defending chnmps of the past two years. Following
Millersville will be Lock Haven at Lock Haven, always a tough game.
We lost to Lock Haven on their court last year.
FOOTBALL 1955 NOW IN THE RECORDS . . . With the annexing
of the second State Teachers College grid championship in five years, the
records of this great accomplishment are now history. The final statistics for the season are as follows:

Huskies Win
Tutor Grid Title

On the bleak, snowy afternoon
of November 19, approximately
500 die-hard grid fans watched the
Bloomsburg Huskies win the 1955
championship of the Pennsylvania
State Teachers Colleges Football
Conference by battling the Lock
Haven Bald Eagles to a scoreless
tie on snow covered Mount
Olympus. Both teams fought desperately through a driving snowstorm but were unable to score.
Late in the first quarter, Jimmy
Browning, versatile Husky halfback, intercepted a pass by Budd
Berringer and galloped 70 yards
along the sidelines for paydirt.
However, a penalty of 15 yards
for pushing was called lfainst the
Huskies and nullified Browning's
great run. Again in the fourth
period the Yohemen threatened
when Bo Rainey attempted a field
goal on the Lock Haven 18. The
ball sailed high enough but was
off slightly to the right of the
goalpost. The tie enabled the
Huskies to win the STC conference
crown by 12 points over runner-up
West Chester—237.5 to 225.5.
Early in the game Lock Haven's
center, Tony Tate, intercepted a
pass by Mike Lashendock to put
the ball on the Bloom 18. Budd
Berringer tossed what seemed like
a sure touchdown pass, but the
alert Bob Groover jumped into the
air to deflect the ball. Thereafter,
with fourth and two, the Huskies
capitalized on a high pass from
Lock Haven center Tate. Jim
Browning and Bob Groover combined to give the Huskies a first
down. However, the on-charging
Bald Eagle line forced the Yohemen to punt. After an exchange of
punts, Lock Haven moved the pigskin to the Huskie 25. Then Budd
Berringer faded back and passed
into the awaiting arms of Jimmy
Browning. Browning ran 70 yards,
but to no avail because of a 15
yard penalty chalked against the
locals. The Maroon & Gold eleven
was forced to kick after an unsuccessful series of downs.
me second period was marKed
by Bob Asby s fine punts and
George Dintiman's superb quickkicks. The Huskies' gigantic center
Charlie Skiptunas , intercepted a
Berringer aerial and carried to the
visitors' 48. "Tanker " Malczyk
smashed through the Bald Eagle
line f or a first down. Later the
Huskies came within striking distance, but the slippery pigskin
fell through the arms of hall back
Gerald Wood and the Bald Eagles
recovered.
The second half saw Malczyk
do some fine line-bucking for the
Yohemen. A Lashendock to Browning pass took the Huskies to the
Lock Haven 25. Malczyk carried
to the 15, but fumbled and Tate
recovered for the visitors. Frank
"Killer" Kaminsky and Harry
Hughes dashed through the Lock
Haven forward wall to block one
of Dintiman's punts . Nevertheless,
the Bald Eagles maintained possession of the ball, after Joe Bizzaro retrieved the bounding pigskin. Carl DeFebo recovered a
Berringer fumble on Lock Haven's
23. Lashendock's heaves to Rainey
and Browning were incomplete.
As the last period began Bo
Rainey's try for a field goal was
unsuccessful . With time running
out , Johnny Oustrich hurled desperate passes. The Huskies were
in Lock Haven territory as the
final whistle blew.
Considering the harsh weather
conditions, the game was wellplayed by both squads. In all there
were 10 fumbles; BSTC lost 4,
Lock Haven lost 3. The Huskies
completed 3 of 16 passes ; the Bald
Eagles had 4 of 11 passes completed. The tie gave the Huskies
the undisputed possession of firs t
place. Last year the locals had to
share the crown with West Chester
and East Stroudsburg.

Joe Kwak. a former Coughlin
High School great is now in his
senior year at BSTC. Joe was a
four time winner of the varsity
monogram for his outstanding line
plays at the Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, High School. He also
added to his laurels by gathering
three varsity letters in wrestling,
and four as a member of the
Coughlin High track squad. Coach

When the better football managers are mentioned at Friendly
College, the name of Tom Higgins
will never be omitted. Tom hails
from Sunbury, Penna., where he
gathered much knowledge in the
business of caring for a team and
their equipment as equipment
manager of the "Sunbury Redlegs"
baseball team in the old class "B"
Inter-State League.

w&mmmsiammmmmmmmmwmsmmmmMmm

Lou Palermo developed a fine lineman in Joe, and one who is versatile in line play.
Joe did not begin his College
athletic career at the Friendly
College, but transferred here from
Rider College. This did not stop his
varsity letter winning ways as he
played one season at Rider and
won the varsity award .
At i>ioomsDurg, ne nas Deen a
winner of the varsity letter no less
than six times; three for football
and three as a Husky trackman.
Coach Jack Yohe will have a big
job filling the big lineman's spot
when next season rolls around.
When asked about his most remembered moment in sports, Jog
told us of a game in which he
played for Rider College. He recovered four fumbles, each one
setting up a score for the Rider
eleven. This would be a great day
for any lineman .

his all time great list are : Bernie
Mont , for his terrific kicking
ability, and Russ Verhousky, one
of the best ends ever to wear the
Maroon and Gold of Bloomsburg
STC.
As a hobby. Joe enjoy s reading
good books. He does not pin his
reading down to any special type
but enjoys anything worth reading.
He also enjoy s fishing, and other
outdoor sports.
Upon graduation this spring Joe
is planning on marriage, and a
career of teaching biological
science, and social studies. He
would also like to do some
coaching. We here at Bloomsburg
know all of his teams will be winners as some of his ability is
bound to rub off on his pupils.
Good luck in the future Joe from
your many friends here at BSTC.

Shellymen Hammer
Davies' Colonel s

A strong second-half enabled the
Huskies to capture their seconu
straight game on Saturday night
when they turned the Colonels
from Wilkes College 85-60 at Centennial Gymnasium.
Good things always come in
pairs—Coach Harold Shelly was
presented with a 7 lb. baby boy in
the afternoon and an 85-60 victory
in the evenine.
After a slowly played first half
the Shellymen roared back to
cement the victory early in the
second half .
The Huskies enjoyed a 38-33 lead
at halftime. Led by the sharp
shooting of Mo Morson, who con. tributed 14 points in the game,
and a fine display of breaking
away and ball handling, the
Huskies quickly shot ahead and
were never to be headed.
v eterans L.en kozick, a Junior
from Dallas, an d Bob Evans, a
Senior from Coal Township, paced
the Shellymen with 19 and 16
points respectively. Mo Morson and
Bob Boyle played a fine game with
14 and 12 points respectively.
Jim Ferris, Colonel guard, was
high scorer of the nigh t with 22
pointf,, George Morgan, veteran
center , contributed 13 points to the
Colone ls cause.
The Bloomsburg Frosh team
won an abbreviated Junior Varsity contest , due to time difficulty,

a count of 61-39.
showed slides of her recent world
wide trip as well as displays from
the various countries she visited.
Refreshments were served and
the meeting adjourned at 9:00 p.m.

Not only outstanding in the
equipment department, Tom
earned two varsity letters as a
member of Coach Lapinsky's Sunbury Owls basketball team. After
graduation from. Sunbury High
School, Tom entered BSTC, dropped out of participation in
athletics, and turned to managing
the football team.
While a student at the College
on the Hill, Tom has been football
manager four seasons, Consequently he has seen many fine
players c&me and go, so instead
of asking him to pick a favorite
player, we have asked for his
choice of an all-star team. The
players he chose are ; eenter, Chas.
Skiptunas, '56; guards, Tom Shuey
and Tom Persing '55; tackles,
Dubbs Thomas '55 and Harry
Hughes '57; ends, Bob Cumens '55
and Russ Verhousky '53; quarterback , Mike Lashendock '56; halfbacks, Harvey Boughner '56 and
Bo Rainey '57; fullback, Barney
Osevala '54.
Tom says his biggest thrill in
sports came in 1953 at New Haven,
Conn., when Bob Cumens kicked
the PAT that gave the Huskies
the win over a fine New Haven
STC eleven.
As a hobby, Tom likes to keep
statistics of BSTC and other college and high school teams in the
area. He also enjoys reading and
is an ardent fan of sports magazines.
It seems Tom makes extra time
for activities he enjoys . Last year
he served as student director for
the annual basketball tournament,
and he spends one evening a week
drilling with the National Guard.
( "B" Co., 104th Armored Cavalry
Division.)
Tom is married to the former
Alice Fisher . BSTC '55. Mrs. Higgins is an elementary teacher in
WUliamsport, where the couple
plan to make their home. After
graduation Tom would like to
teach mathematics, and coach
basketball . The s t u d en t s at
Bloomsburg will always be grateful for the fine service he has
given them .

Huskies Topple
Cheyney, Opener

The 1955-56 edition of the
Bloomsburg cagers successfully
opened t h e i r inter-collegiate
basketball activities by decisively
defeating a small, but game,
Cheyney State Teachers five in
Centenial Gym.
The huge crowd in attendance
gave strong proof that a spirit,
developed during the past football
season , will be behind the Huskies
all the way.
The Shelley-men displaying their
usual "wear-em-down" agressive
style were too much for the Delaware County teachers as they put
together two identical 37 point
halves to score an 81-46 victory.
Pregame ji tters and tenseness
were in evidence ,throughout the
first half as wild passes, wild plays
and an abundance of fruitless
scoring attempts didn't give the
Huskies any added prestige. The
second half was similar to the first
although the percentage of goals
made was greater. The characteristic conditioning that only the
Shelly coached teams possess is
that relentless fast breaking attack from the moment of the first
j ump ball to the final buzzer.

We're still burping turkey from Thanksgiving and it's almost time to
go home and eat the leftovers for Christmas. Speaking of Christmas,
have you heard all the kids on campus singing, "I' m getting nothing
for Christmas, 'cause my grades have been nothing but bad?"
This week is Christmas Spirit Week, and the spooks are really doing
a good job . The Democrats almost put a damper on it though. Annie

finally arrived on Saturday.
Hint to all married men: Don't be angry with your wife for serving
you burnt toast for breakfast—it may have saved her life. Joan Christie,
while practicing for the future, attempted to dig toast from a pop-up
toaster with a knife. The result was sparks—big, bright, electrical
sparks!! Thank heaven for plastic handles.
Lew Natter is restricted from basketball games for trying to sell sodapop to the Wilkes players. How was he supposed to know they didn 't
have any money with them.
Upon being asked by his high school students, "Why are you collectnd

to be an "armstrong heater". Like a good teacher, Slim kept her after
school.
Somebody spread it around that Don MacJuean snot an eleven-point

Bill Ambrose and Ted Resnick saw venison with wings. They're still
eating hamburger and reading "The Power of Positive Thinking."
Last week, while Miss Hazen's class was doing some choral reading,
Mr. Gehrig walked in and was greeted with, "Oh, I thought you were
Santa Claus." "San ta" nearly fell through the floor. Who'd ever think
that Miss Hazen still believes in Santa Claus ?
Have you noticed how clean Bob Boyle and Jim Gustave have been
lately ? Could it be because they've been lifting soap from the shower
room at basketball practice ? Nothing like having that Ivory look!!!
Len Kozick should be more careful at basketball practice. The team
was weaving down the floor; Mr. Shelley was in the center shouting
directions—splat—Shelley saw stars. Accidents do happen; and anyway,
"Pooch" made up for it in the Wilkes game. He scored the two points
that got us out of that 67-53 rut—and the crowd cheered on.
BSTC can now be rated with some of our top universities, namely
Bucknell and Penn State—DRY. We always were; it' s just that not
everyone knew it! Next year's football season is going to be mighty cold
unless you can afford an electric blanket. ( Bring your own outlet. )
Here's hoping Santa visits you and yours—-and ours.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good time.

Have you ever wondered what
the Library Staff does besides
check books and collect fines ? The
tasks of the nine girls working
under Miss Keefer and Miss
Reams are numerous as well as
varied. Each girl has a particular
j ob to perform, along with the
general work to aid students in
locating books and finding research material.
Daily mail must be checked in
and stamped and this is done by
Pat Hartman and Joanne Specht.
Pat, along with Jan Truscott , does
much of the typing. This includes
accessioning books, typing letters,
and filling out cards.
Another back-office worker is
Marilyn Friedman. Her specialty
is cutting and pasting pictures for
the picture file and pasting book
pockets. Jo Specht can also be
found with her hands in the paste
j ar when she mends torn books.
The two new freshman girls,
Margie Morson and Sophie Kish ,
spend most of their working hours
with the students, where they can
get better acquainted with the library and its system.

field and his play throughout the
entire contest gave the fans visions
of a great year in store for him.
Len had eleven goals, from in and
outside, and three fouls for a total
of twenty-five pts. to take scoring
honors for the night.
Keith Weiser was also in the
scoring department with five goals
and ten fouls for twenty points
to attest his eagle»ize ability from

But the staff s work doesn't end

All this is ably supervised by
