As the last refrains of "High

out , another HeJl Week at BSTC
came to a close. The members of
the class of 1960 can now look
back and smile or frown on one of
the most unusual seven days of
their lives.
These new students who had j ust
been instr ucted and reinstructed
in the art of behavior, suddenly
appeared Monday morning as little

pigtails in their hair, skirts and

at the church of their choice with
the students.
All new students may invite two

success.

College To
Purchase New
Organ This Year

The College is planning to purchase a new organ which will be
installed some time this fall. It
will replace the old Hammond
organ, which was purchased in
1936 with the profits from the
book store and a contribution from
Dr. H. V. Hower, then the president of the board of trustees.
The new organ, an electrically
operated Baldwin, has the endorsement of the American Guild of
Organists. It will cost $6000 and,
like the old organ, will be paid for
with the profits of the book store
over a three year period.
At the present time, preparation is being made for the installation. A twenty-three foot chamber which will contain six 40-watt
speakers is being placed above the
position where the organ will
stand.

Future In the Sky
Assembly Discussion

In harmony with various articles
appearing in recent publications
concerning man-made satellites
and space t ravel, our assembly
program on September 18 was entitled "Future in the Sky ". The
speaker, Dr. I. M. Levitt, director
of the Fels Planetarium, has made
appearances on television many
times.
Using models and demonstrations, Dr. Levitt gave the audience
a thumb-nail sketch of rocket history and the problems confronting
science in establishing satellites.
He used a rocket model, "Mini",
to explain the take-off process, the
intricate fuel system , and the
automatic disposal of used fuel
sections.
A nine-minute film of actual
rocket take-offs made the whole
idea more feasible to us. The kaleidoscopic view of the earth, sun,
and Infinite space was taken by a
rocket camera at an altitude of
76 miles.
Dr. Levitt predicts a sateUite in
space in the near future and pictures man making a trip to tKe
moon from a space station In the

EDITORIAL
Our college is literall y bursting at its seams, with many more students
than it was ori ginally built for and can accommodate comfortably. As
a result, the student bod y is confronted with the inconveniences of
overcrowded classrooms and dormitories. It has been necessary for
women student teachers and many resident men to find living quarters
off-campus.
Whether we realize it or not , the increased enrollment is a good
indication that Blooinsburg is growing in rating and prestige. We must
be more patient and tolerant with the present uncomfortable condit ions, for a college doesn't develop by constructing new buildings and
i nen finding the students to fill them ; it must first produce a sufficient
i.umber of students to warrant the building of new classrooms and
dormitories. These new buildings will come eventual ly—soon , we hope.
But in the meantime let's make the best of the situation. Let's work
; .H-hool properly clean , being more attentive in classes, and being quirt
«luring study hours in the dormitories are important.
Another point we may consider , is that with a larger student body
acting as a unified group requests and opinions will carry more weight
in determining college policies. Wi't h united support we'll be even
obtain name bands and performers for the annual class dances. And
fiinally, more active support at sports contests will spur our teams on
to more victories and more championships.
We urge the student body to live together in closer harmony 'and
friendshi p and to be more understanding of the administration's efforts
to make BSTC as big in square yards as it is now in all our minds and
hearts.

Hi! We 're awf ully glad this isn't 1984 'cause from what we've seen,
fashions then won't be as personalized as they are now.
And that subtly brings us to the subject we're supposed to be writing
about—fashions. As we said, in the movie 1984, the clothes were standardized. Pleaste gals, don't let this happen to you ! We'll admit, the styles
today are basically alike, but there are many ways you can make them
reflect your own good taste and personality.
We noticed a striking blonde j unior all set for a date the other evening. She wore a straight beige wool skirt and sweater, with shoes and
purse to match. Sounds simple enough, doesn't it? Well, here's a girl
that knows how to use good judgement in selecting her clothesL The
beige outfit showed off her complexion to its best advantage, and the
color brought out the golden highlights in her hair. Her only j ewelry
was a small pair of gold earrings, and she looked very well dressed.
Now don't all of you rush downtown to buy the first outfit like this
you find. Remember, some of you don't look well in beige. And besides
that , the style may not suite you.
The point we're trying to make is to wear what looks well on you, not
something that your best friend or the fashion models can wear.
Don't feel slighted fellows, we aren't entirely ignoring you. Keep your
f ashion foot forward.
Bye now,

The Husky gridiron machine will roll into action this Saturday afternoon when they entertain a powerful eleven from Delaware State on
Mt. Olympus at 2 p.m.
Scrimmages held earlier this season against Bucknell and Muhlenberg have revealed some general strengths and weaknesses, some good
player combinations, and some outstanding individual performances.
Coach' Yohe feels that the returning lettermen, however, will hold the
edge in the bid for starting berths. Yohe has been encouraged by the
vastly improved defensive play shown by the team as a whole.
The signal-calling department will be directed by John Oustrich and
Oscar Snyder , w ith Jo e "Tanker" Malcyzk, and Freshmen Carl Sweet
expected to give the squad additional strength in the backfleld.
Eddie watts appears to be the most improved defensive back on the
sq u ad , and along with Bo Rainey and Chuck Casper, should give the
Huskies a trio of mighty capable halfbacks. Two tough and experienced
veterans, Harry Hughes and Carl DeFebo, will man the tackle spots
with able assistance from Tom Vaxmonsky. The Huskies are strongest
in the guard position with Prusch, Wascavage, Kaminsky, and Wood
returning. Berflie Zaborowski should play a lot of ball at center , in an
effort to get more depth at this spot.
Turning to State Teachers College Conference play, the Vulcans of
California STC have been given the pre-season edge to cop the coveted
crown which our own Huskies captured last year. As you undoubtedly
may remember, the Huskies edged the Vulcans last year on Mt. Olym pus, 7-6 on a blocked extra point by "Tanker" Malcyzk. The Vulcans
have 18 lettermen returning, including Mike Pannich at end , the top
vote-getter in all-star selections' last year. California plays one of its
most rugged schedules in history against the conference's top-seeded
teams of West Chester, Clarion , Lock Haven, and Bloomsburg.
The Marau ders of Miller sville , who have been building for three years,
now have hopes to pay off with upsetting victories.
However , if Millersville and California cannot pave the way, the eyes
of the conference will focus their attention on West Chester and our
own Husky squad. As usual the West Chester aggregation, under Glen
Killinger, has a host of returning lettermen and should prove to be again
one of the powers in the conference.
QUICK PICK-UPS . . . Quarterback Paul Maley of California STC,
all-conference choice in all-star selections, has left a decided gap in the
Vulcan eleven 's team when he did not show up for registration. Paul was
scheduled to enroll as a Senior, but is not expected back. . . Saturday 's
opponent, the Delaware State eleven, was defeated by Maryland State,
3-0 for their only defeat in eight contests last season. The grid crew,
under Edward Jackson , have produced powerful teams in the past and
there is no reason to expect a letdown this year. Last year they defeated
Kings', 13-0 in Wilkes-Barre. . . Speaking of Kings, all eyes and ears
will be leaning that way this Saturday evening when the Monarchs
entertain the Golden Rams of West Chester at Hanover Township High
School field. . . While in Wilkes-Barre, it might be noteworthy to mention the fact that Wilkes met Hofstra in the Forty-Fort-Kingston Kiwani s' Club Charity game. This worthy project started last season when
Wilkes entertained the Huskies in a driving downpour ; however, since
football relations with Wilkes have been severed, the anthracite football
trophy will remain in our hands for the present and possibly permanently if no further relations are invoked. . . Joe Panichello, brother of John,
the former Husky lineman, has been throwing his weight around to an
advantage in practice session and may expect to see considerable action
during the coming campaign. . . The Saylor System of rating in State
Teacher Conference ranks may be expected to produce results this season—more eastern colleges will meet teams from the western section ;
therefore, a truer representative will emerge as title holder. Let's hope
that it is the Huskies! . . . Remember—Saturday afternoon , 2 p.m.—
Delaware State.

THE

PEP PER POT
by BILL SHERIDAN

Pep is a thing much discussed, especially during the football season.
We attend pep meetings directed by the pep committee. At these meetings we attempt to arouse school spirit and .moral support to the team.
But what is this thing PEP ? If we consult Webster's New Collegiate
Dictionary it would merely tell us that pep is "bri sk energy or iniative ".
Yet , if we take each letter and use it to represent a word , we might derive Something like ***Primed Explosive Power. After all , pep is an
energy or Power that bursts forth with Explosive force when conditioned
or Primed by the frenzied excitement of a football game or pep meeting.
In years past we've had good school spirit and much enthusiastic
cheering. Our teams have not marched onto the field without knowing
that they were not alone in the contest. True, the crowds could never
fill the Colosseum, but what they have lacked in number , they have made
up in noise. Last year we cheered a team through a season that1 culminated in victory and the championship of the State Teacher's Coll ege
Conference. It has been wonderful to bask in the glory of this title, but
now we are beginning a new season with new teams on the schedule,
many new players on the squad, and a student body with some new faces.
Upon the freshmen falls the duty of sparking the drive, but we all must
support our team as it deserves to be supported. We must have the
PEP.
Saturday on Mt. Olympus the Huskies will meet new rival—Delaware
State. We know little about this team except that it comes from downstate Delaware and has a good reputation.
"We will have a maj or fact in our favor , however, since we are ploying
at home and they, away. This is a decisive factor in any contest. The
Huskies will stand on familiar ground and they will hear a familiar
sound—the cheering of their friends. So let us turn out en masse on
Saturday and begin the year with a cheer.

Are You Af raid of Snakes?
Your summer reading list probably included the Reader's Digest
and if you read the July issue no
doubt the article entitled "Are
You Afraid of Snakes ," interested
you. This experience was written
by the distinguished writer and
teacher Mary Ellen Chase, and It
is connected with BSTC In a peculiar way.
Miss Chase tells of her experience as a teacher at the Hillside
Home School in Wisconsin. As she
and a young fellow teacher , whoso
subj ect was nature study , started
walking to a nearby fair.
Two boys, carrying wicker baskets, filled with snakes, were also
going to the fair. These boys, hopIng to scare the young women, volunteered to display their wriggling
collection. The author , defining her

terror of snakes as "a terro r so
real that it actually caused nausea ,
headaches, screams and tears,"
could have provided quite a joy ful scene for these boys.
However, her friend warned her
not to show any sign of fright , and
so she stood quite still while her
colleague told the boys many facts
about these snakes.
As her companion picked up one
of the snakes, Miss Chase's fears
Increased, In a few seconds the
snake was In her hands, but when
she touched Its skin, her fear of
snakes left her.
Mary Ellen Cliaso has always
been grateful to this friend who
cured her fear of snakes forever.
This friend , colleague nnd nature
lover was Mrs . Ollvo P. Beerrmn
of our BSTC faculty,

Kaminski Starts
Final Season
._

_.

J

_

Among the eight seniors on the
1956 Husky grid squad is Frank
Kaminsky, stellar guard for Coach
Yohe 's eleven. Frank learned the
pigskin funda mentals at Johnson
City High School, in New Yo rk
State , under the guidance of coach
Ed Butkus. In addition Frank was
a member of the Johnson City
High School basketball team.
Frank entered BSTC in January ,
1953. Since then he has been a
mainstay of the Husky forward
wall. Frank is a take-charge lineman with the figh t and fine team
spirit needed of a good player. He
puts forth his best effort and undoubtedly has helped the Huskies
capture the 1956 STC championshiD.
He states his biggest thrill was
the stunning 17-7 upset over highly
touted West Chester last year.
When asked who his favorite
teammates we re, Frank said they
were all his favorites. He enjoyed
being a team player rather than
seeking individual glory. This is
j ust one reason why Frank is popular with his fellow classmates
here at BSTC.
Amon g his hobbies, Frank lists
classical music and indoor sports.
He enj oys listening to the great
works of Beethoven and Tschaikowsky.
At the present time Frank is
student-teaching at Bloomsburg
High School. He is enrolled in the
business curriculum with a majo r
in accounting and a minor in retail
selling.
Frank's plans for the future are
indefinite, but we know he will
succeed in his chosen field. Best of
lu ck, Frank , from all of us.

Huda Signs With
Braves Farm Club

On May 26, 1956, John Huda,
Bloomsburg 's southpaw ace, signed
with Corpus Christi of the Texas
League, which is a Milwaukee
Braves farm club.
John began his baseball exploits
as a freshman in high school. He
did not become a starting pitcher
until his Sophomore year . John
finish ed that year with a 420 batting average and a record of 3
wins and 1 defeat , with one of
these wins a no-hit contest.
In his Junior year, John again
came into the limelight with another no-hit game. His seasonal
record on the mound was 9-0, and
his record at the plate was .520.
jriis Dest ana most striKing year
was his Senior year when his
pitching record was 8-2; included
in the records were two no-hit
games in succession and a seasonal
total of 88 strikeouts in 43 innings.
His strikeouts averaged about 2
per inning, which is mighty fine
pitching in any league. He also had
an average of .647 at the plate.
During his Senior year John applied for admission to Bloomsburg,
and in September of 1954, John
( No-Hit) Huda enrolled as a student here at BSTC.
When baseball season rolled
around that year, John was in
there pitching. Consequently, he
got the starting nod for the firs t
game. Bloom's opponent that day
was Lock Haven , a team we had
not beaten for five seasons. That
day two streaks were broken—
Lock Haven 's winning streak and
Bloom's losing streak. Bloom walked away with a 6-3 victory, and
John had his first college triumph.
He ended the year with a 3-3 recU 1 U,

Last year, he pitched his firs t
no-hit game (college) . John fanned
22 men while walking only 1. He
was not destined for that no-hit
no-run game, because the opposition scored one run on an error,
but our team still waltzed away
with a 9-1 triumph .
This past summer, Corpus Christi sent John to Wellsville, N.Y., of
the Pony League. During his stay
there , John turned In a mound record of 2-2 and a batting mark of

If you have been thinking of rushing to the nearest optometrist because of double vision, STOP! You're eyes haven't gone bad. Nor is this
trick photography. There really are two of them, and their names are
Fran , short for Frances, and Rae, short for Rachel Snavely, the only
identical twins on campus.
When attempting to ask them a few questions, I soon discovered that
keeping them straight was possible only as long as they stayed in one
place. One moved about the room and I was lost.
After a confusing interview, I learned they are 19 years old and have
transferred from Hershey Junior College, Hershey, Pennsylvania. Both
are j uniors in the elementary curriculum and, unfortunately for their
teachers, are in the same classes here on campus. Can you doubt that
teachers will be content with just calling each of them "Miss Snavely" ?
It might be rather convenient in answering questions when only one
knows the answer.
To add to the confusion they are both five feet one-half inches tail,
have brown hair, blue eyes, and a very friendly smile. I asked the girls
about hobbies. They are particularly interested in tennis, horseback
ri ding, and knitting. For the last three years they have worked in a
department store; Fran in the shoe department and Rae in the office.
Their friends say that until you get to know them there's no way to
tell them apart. The same vivacious personality is found in each, and as
one classmate declared, "They even sit at the same angle in class."
Usually, when identical twins appear in stories they are always engaged in fascinating mistaken-identity intrigues. Fran and Rae tried
changing places a few times, but say that nobody even knew when one
impersonated the other, so it wasn't any fun.
Since the twins dr.ess and look so much alike, I'd like to give you a
few tips on how to tell them apart. Just between you and me, Rae wears
a class ring—or is it Fran . . . Well anyway, Rae's hair is a little
curlier—near the temples. On second thought, you figure out who's who .

LAUGH

In Africa there once lived a
wealthy king who had had a
throne for many years. One day
he got tired of it and had a new
one made and stored the old one
in the attic. One night as the old
king was having dinner the old
throne came crashing throu gh the
ceiling and landed with an enormous thud.
MORAL: People who live in grass
houses shouldn't stow thrones.

Going Up

Some folks like the opera
Some folks like to dance
Some like moonlight boating
Complete with sweet romance.
Some like to visit the zoo
The bears and alligators
But strange as this may sound to
you
I just love elevators.
I like the very slow kind
That give you time to think
And those that move so quickly
They make your "innards" shrink.
I ride them all with such great
zest.
I fear my mind is drifting
But I know I like them best
Because they're so uplifting.
— by Nancy Ault
.310. He struck out 36 men in 36
innings while yielding 31 hits in
the same number of innings.
During the summer John was
transferred to McClok, Nebraska ,
where they were in dire need of a
southpaw. He proceeded to hang
up a record of 2-1, with a nifty
four-hitter Included. While chalkIng up this victory. John had 13
strikeouts. His strikeout total at
the end of the season was 56 in 30
Innings of pitching. His final
mound record was 2-1, and his
batting average was .364—individual high. In John's last game of
the season, he established a new
Nebraska State League strikeout
record, fanning 19 men. What a
way to end the season !
John has no idea when or where
he will be sent this summer. Wher*
ever he jj oes we all wish him the
best of luck In what looks to be
a mighty promising career.

Dr. Maupin Tours
European Countries

( Continued from page 1)
arms with a larger child at his side
to symbolize the protection of
children.
In Italy Dr. Maupin attended the
international Mozart Music Festival at the Scola Opera House,
where an excellent performance of
Verdi' s "Lucia" was given. She
saw yenice, the city of canals, by
boat in moonlight, the fascinating
St. Marks Cathedral, and even
climbed the many narrow, marble
steps of the Leaning Tower of
Pisa. She found St. Peters in Rome
beautiful and was especially interested in the Church of Grazia
at Malano where Leonardo de
Vinci's "Last Supper" is still on
the wall.
She attended the International
Ballet at Kaurseal while in Switzerland and judge it delightful. The
Matterhorn Mts. in the Alps were
a thing of awe and beauty to Dr.
Mau pin , as were Tremmerback
Falls in Interlocken.
Dr. Maupin was also vividly impressed by the Peace Palace in
Hague, Holland. It had elegant
statues, vases, drapes, and various
seals of the countries on the back
of each seat in the delegate room,
and large hand woven rugs all
contributed by different countries.
In Copenhagen, Denmark, everyone rode bicycles. Hamlet's castle
in Heinsor, was extremely interesting. Shakespearian plays are
performed right in the castle. The
Swedes have individual farm houses and barns that are all neat,
clean, and in good condition. The
houses are painted red with white
trimmings.
In England, Dr. Maupin. saw the
colleges, Stratford on the Avon,
and Ann Hathaway 's thatched
cottage with its lovely flowers and
gardens. Bath, England, has the
only hot springs in that country
which are used for the treatment
of disease; parts of the Roman
ruins still remain In this town
which were found by digging the
extension to the Abbey. At Windsor, is located one of the largest
castles with beautiful and spacious
grounds. In London she was amazed at the National Art Gallery
which had glass ceilings to show
the pictures to the best advantage.
It is evident that Dr. Nell Maupin had a most enlightening and
enj oyable three-month trip to Europe which she will lpng remember.
She saw many more 'unu sual, noteworthy places which are too numerous to include.

We usually debate for 17& hours (okay, you math majors, get to work)
over how to start this column, so this time we're just starting right out
with the dirt.
Did you hear hat Henry almost quit his j ob of keeping the lounge
clean ? Who can blame him, when people like Shirl Wagner would rather
wear their orange jui ce than drink it; and then there are those who use
"ie floor for a saucer. (Could that be why Diane Samois washed her
ress in the ladies room?) We've got to give her credit tho—she put it
• ack on and went to class.
Some kids like classes—others like Elvis. We j erked Bob Gower about
¦i anging a picture of Shakespeare , now Vax has gone a bit modern. He
as one of Elvis Presley on his dresser. Anyone like to try Lawrence
V/elk ?
Speaking of singers, did you know we have the "Crew Cuts" on
Campus ? It' s the truth. One even has a Cadillac. Their names—Al Hoffnan and Bob Zegley—should be familiar to anyone who 's read "Who's
Who in the Lounge." We think 'Dr. Wagner is the author. * At any rate
Bob Boyle spent all of last week sharpening pencils for him to write
something.
If you think Barney was light on his feet doing the bunny hop, you
should've seen Joe Malszyk and Charlie Riegel skipping rope. (Strong
floor in that lounge.)
Don MacLean is really rough on those seventh graders. Anyway we
think so 'cause he tried their geography test on us and (you guessed it)
we flunked!!! It's a good thing we're Business and Elementary!
Bob Arbrogast is trying to figure out whether his third grade kiddies
like him ox* hate him. True, they're bringing him presents, but good
heavens—a lizzard, a frog, and six turtles! ( Can't hardly make a meal
on them there things). Better hang on to those vitamin pills, Bob!
While we're on the subject, we want to clarify a point. JOHN SEAMON IS NOT STUDENT TEACHING. He's doing more important work
(he tells us) for Dr. Maietta. Why, he's almost an Assistant Clinical
Psychologist in charge of Speech Correction in the Elementary Schools
of Pennsylvania. There, John, — the break you've been waiting for!!
You think Seamon's important ? Wait 'til you hear this: Bob Bottorf
of jitterbugging fame has taken to fire fighting. It's rumored that he's
the official fire warden of North Hall. He hustled everyone out of the
building everytime somebody blew the whistle on Civil Defense Day.
Deets Stanton thinks" Mr. Schleicher has the most soothing voice on
campus, but he doesn't cheer for her snoring in class. She would've enjoy ed her hour much more if Margie Yohn hadn 't been a dream squelcher. Oh well .every party has' a pooper!!
Evie's apologies to Charlie Bougher who wore Bermuda shorts and
argyle socks all summer. (Classes and all.) Well, girls, I guess we re just
the wrong gender.
Who's the slowest quarterback this side of the Mississippi ? Bob Mescan ! Anyone who ever played cards with him would swear to it. Just ask
us—it took four hours to play two hands. (Slight exaggeration, it was
three hands'.)
Our buddy, Rosie Pavlick, told us to praise her freshman group for
winning the scavenger hunt. Big prize ! Big prize ! Two bags of peanuts.
Wonder who the spender was.
Did you hear about senior customs ? No smokes, no cokes, no 10
o'clock breakfasts on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We'd give up breakfast
and even coke, but please let us have a place to congregate (with ash
trays). Either that, or supply us with "long Johns" for walking to the
Grille in the winter.
This column could go on for ages. We're at Pete's, and it's raining. But
it won't, because we're going to stop as abruptly as we started.
S'long,
Pike & Peak
