A joint committee of students and faculty formulated a plan for a school Senate. The mem- bers of this Senate were elected In the student hodv and were expected to have an advisory and executive authority in matters pertaining to the welfare and reputation of the student body. This Senate acted entirely independentlv of the facultv. It had the respect of the students and handled cases of discipline quite satisfactorily. At times in the growth of the college this interest in student government was lost; at other periods it was prominent in the school ' s activities. In 1926 student govern- ment again came to the forefront. A group of students drew up a tentative constitution Seated, Left to ra;:lit — Mr. Rhodes, J. Brown. S. Jliller, R. nnusknecht, H.

Officers were elected from the student body ; and the student council, the executive bodv of the Community Government Association, was organized with delegates from the various student organizations. In 1938 the name College Countil was adopted for the executixe division of the Communitv Government Association because the Council was not a ' student council. The Council is a group of students and facultv members organized to create a better feeling of coo])eration among students, faculty and administration. The Community Government Association sent its president, Norman Maza, to Minnesota to represent them at the annual convention of the National Students ' Federation of America, of which Bloomsburg is a member. The local group attended in a body the convention of the Eastern States Association of Professional Schools for teachers held in New ork Citv. Members Presitlent.

This board consists of fourteen members: a president, a vice president, and three members representing each of the four classes. The president is responsible for all functions and activities transacted under the name of Waller Hall, and supervises all the committees acting in Waller Hall. The outstanding event of the year, sponsored by the girls of Waller Hall is the Christmas partv for crippled children. At this time the crippled children from Bloomsburg and its nearliy xicinity are entertained at a partv and program. In April the dormitory girls meet with the day girls at an annual He-She party. At this time the new officers for both organizations are announced. WALLEU HALL OnVEnNINd liOAni) First Ilww, Left to Ri ht — M:irj )rU- Vfniiit:. Kdirii iteiiniiii. ' fr, ilntli James.

During the first month the fellows concentrated most of their spare time on orienting the frosh into tlieir new surroundings. The newcomers soon adjusted themselves (through variously directed efforts of the upper-classmen ) and entered into the spirit of good- fellowship. Pinochle tournaments, in which heated competition took place, look up much of the leisure time. Those not very adept in the art of card playing engaged in ping pong contests. Naturalh. the radio played an important part in the entertain- ment. An interested group was always listening in to their favorite sports, comedy, drama, or educational programs. Smokers again were the highlights of the year. These gatherings are always looked forward to. The programs are presented by local talent in tlic form of music, dancing, singing, and skits. Of course, the ever-present eats left all in a jovial mood. As each sports season rolled around, the fellows could always be found engaging in games out on the athletic field. Rivalry sprang up between the various floors of the dormitory, and the atmosphere gradualh look on that of a professional league. All the boys partici- pated at one time or another. Despite the lime found for exlra-curricular activities, the men did not neglect their studies, but spent main hours on their subjects. The men were led during the year by Joseph Hudock, who per- formed his du ties very ca]5alih. ,loim C. Koch is the resident dean.

Under the tutelage of Coach Peter W isher. the ■ffusky hooters turned in their second suc- cessful season. The season opened rather poorly with a 2-1 defeat at the hands of East Stroudsburg. However, the team found itself to go on and win four consecutive games, two of them being shut-out victories over Susquehanna, and the other two being close victories over Lock Haven. The second and last defeat of the season came at West Chester with the season ending successfuly with a 2-1 victorv over Elizabethtown. Several members of the squad will be lost bv graduation, includ- ing Bob Lynn. Ken Hippensteel and Royce Masteller. The varsity soccer awards went to James Harman. Ken Hippensteel.

Playing a schedule of eight games against other teacher colleges, the Huskies failed to come out victorious in a single encounter. However, the bovs in Maroon and Gold proved themselves to be fine sports and gentlemen. In every game, the Bloomsburg eleven was out-weighed by its oppo- nent by at least twenty pounds per man. Still they fought down to the last second in an effort to prove their worth and mettle. The first game of the season opened with Bloomslnirg playing at Millersville. The Huskies led all during the game, but an official ' s decision in the last quarter on a forward pass proved to be their downfall, and Millersville went on to win 19-7. Following this heart- breaking defeat, the Tate-men ne er found themselves again, and seven straight set-backs resulted. The finest game of the past season was played against the Bald Eagles of Lock Haven. Out-weighed and out-manned, the stalwart Huskies came liack in the second half to overcome a 12-0 deficit only to have an out-of-bounds decision enable the Bald Eagles to over- come the stubborn and determined Huskies by a score of 21-18. One of the major disappointments of the season was the age-old injury jinx. Tom Jenkins, an aggressive tackle, was lost to the squad after the first week of practice due to a knee injurv. Kirk, another great tackle, had a recurrence of an old shoulder injur) in the third game, and his loss was gravely felt during the rest of the season. The Senior lettermen were Carl el liver. James Hinds, Don Hausknecht. Frank Koniecko. and William Kirk. Other lettermen were William Herbert, George Menaric k. Joe Suorin.

Miles Smith served as senior manager in which capacity he had participated the previous year. He was ably assisted by Edward Delesky and Morris Cabelly. Coach Tate will lose only five varsity men in June, all of whom have given good accounts of themselves on the gridiron. It will be a difficult task to replace su( h jilayers as Kirk, Hinds, Welliver, Hausknecht, and Koniecko, but a fine group of sturdy under- classmen give prospects of a bright season in 1940. Receiving the Junior Varsity award were the following: Walinchus. Keller, Maslowsky, Tomlinson, Wesley, Yanalevage, Jury, Hubiak, Lutskus, Horvath, Brittingham. Schaeffer, Kozlowsky, Pellinato.

T. C. in one of the bowling leagues in Blooms- burg this past year. The team is above average in the league and their scores have been followed willi interest by a great many of the college students. Bowling started soon after school opened and con- tinued all through the year. Those who liowled this year for Bloomsljurg were Lawrence Kiefer, Donald. Rishe. Howard Williams, Ralph Crocamo, Philip DeFrank, Nevin Slusser, and John C. Koch. Dean Koch and Red Williams shared the scoring honors although Crocomo and Kiefer gave them a run for their money every once in a while. Larry Kiefer, graduating this year, will leave the only vacancy in the team. Prospects should certainly be bright next year. Page iO Oross Country The Maroon and Gold cross country team, coached by George C. Buch- heit, closed the 1 939-40 season with the three wins and hut a single set-hack. Danny Kemple was the outstanding Husky harrier, hut several other mem- bers of the squad proved to be able runners. Individually, the greatest achievement of the past season was Donald Karns ' smashing victory in the ten-mile Berwick Marathon on Thanks- giving. Karns finished among the first twenty to claim for the second con- secutive year the first local award. The varsity lettermen for the past season were Daniel Kemple, John Lavelle, Hugh Niles, Donald Jenkins, and Robert Joy. Receiving the junior varsity award were Theodore Radai, Walter Reed, and Howard Halpin. The veteran Dan Kemple is the only harrier lost by graduation, but the loss of this consistent wimier forms a major problem for next season.

Sports for which girls are eligible include learn games and indi idual activities. The benefits from this arrangement are twofold: the girls enjoy the participaliiin in actual competition and also receive points in the various sports toward athletic awards and admittance to the B Club. The first Saturday after school starts in the fall the girls of the college hold a tea and hike as a social function for the freshman girls. The tea. held at Miss McCammon s home gives the girls a fine chance to become acquainted with the new girls. At Bloomsburg a girl ma ])articipate in an} of a large nund)er of sports. Teams are organized in hockey, soccer, basketball. oIley ball, and other games. These games give many girls the op])ortunity to act as referees and officials in main types of sports, experience which is apt to prove of great value in getting a teaching position. The point system allows players, scorekeepers. umpires, and anyone who takes part in a game a certain number of points. In the line of individual sports, a girl may take part in roller skating, hiking, social dancing, bicvcling, bowling, tennis, and swinmiing.

On Stunt Da . as is the custom at Bloomslnirg. thev marched over the walks singing at the tops of some of their voices ahout the intensity of the color they were. A new fea- ture was the hobby horse of this year ' s celebration. Anv number of varieties were observed, from three-footers to Page 44 ten. Init all sppiiied to serve tlie purpose. The three weeks of customs ended with a surprise party given by the upperclassmen. The Freshmen were given their rhance to rise and shine in their very own asseniiily program. The imper- sonation of Grump . iC.rant I?rittingliam I . was a real joy to all the Frosh in the gallery, as well as to the rest of the audience in the underworld. Next on the Freshman calendar, and strictly Freshman loo, was the Kid Party. This uproarious affair was held in the gym on October 20th. The costumes and refresh- ments were all a|i])ro])riate, and the games for the guests included London Bridge. Farmer in the Dell, Go In and Out the Window, and Piggie in the Pen. FoUow- ing this the entertainment committee presented a much enjoyed program. Memliers of the conniiittee were Rob- ert Llewellyn. Richard Matthes, Edward Mollis. Mary Middleton, Ruth Hope, and Eleanor Althoff. The night is sure to be long remembered by the class of ' 43. In November the class settled down to business and elected officers to iiandle the class affairs. The election was strictlv according lo Mo lc. uitii no stuffing of the ballot box.

Page 47 Ralph McCracken Damd Nelson The Olass (if 1942 OFFICERS Ralph McCracken David Nelson Mary Davenport Robert Hartman President J ice President Secretary - Treasurer The iiiemhers of the class of 1942 returned to the college in September, 1939, with a new manner. No longer were the the underdogs, the timid souls. They were determined that the would carNC for themselves a niche in tlie college life and make their presence feh. as a group, and as individuals. Fiom the first school bell of the fall, the Sophs were after the poor green Frosh, just to make up for the well-remembered time the year before when thev had to duck at the sight of an upperclassman or take the consequences. We are sure Page 48 that the class nf 1943 will long remember the stern coin- mands of the class of 1942. The class got off to a good start under the leadership of the fine officers uhoni tlun had chosen the previous spring. Serving very capahh in the arious offices were Ralph McCracken, president: David Nelson, vice presi- dent; M ary Davenport, secretary, and Robert Hartnian, treasurer. Merrill Deitrich and Ida Jane Shipe repre- sented the class in the College Council. The next chance the Sophomores had to strut their stuff was in their aimual chapel jnogram. This was a dandy affair presenting School Days in Modern Times. The time was mostly swing and somewhat corny, as interpreted by a pick-up band composed entirely of Soph- omores. Among those listed in the program were Paul Klinger, the trumpeter |)ar excellence: Ruth Baird. who has delighted college audicTices with her Ivric soprano voice on many occasions; Rav Perry, the little bov with the drums. I he surel knows what to do with them) ; and Arleen Hagenbuch and Robert Miller in a noveltv tap dance that brought down the house. Gag-happy Bill Booth, the school marm. was master of ceremonies and did a fine job. On February twent -fourtb came a great night for the .Sophomores, the Sophomore Cotillion. It made a distinct hit.

George Donachy was one of the football stars of the year, while Harry Jenkins was active in lidth football and track. Another noted man in the class is Norman Cool, still the tallest one around the college. Spencer Roberts, a Sophomore, is one of the most active musicians in school, acting as accoin|janist to the Mixed Chorus, and also pla)- ing organ solos many times in the chapel iiour. itii the fine showing they have made in their two years at the college, we may expect great things of the class of 1942.

President Helen Johnson ----- I ice President June Eaton Secretary Florabelle Schrecongost . - - - Treasurer The Junior Class is probahly the most active on the tanipus. for its members are found in leading positions in almost every extracurrirular organization on the campus. The real big gun of the class is Howard Tomlinson, who besides being vice president of the college council is president of the Co-operative Association of Pennsyl- vania State Teachers Colleges. President of the class of 1941 this )ear was Stuart Edwards. He was on the bas- ketball squad and also in dramatics. He played the lead, as Charles Donkin. in Bachelor Born in a fine manner. Vice president of the class this year was Helen John- son, who is also known as treasurer of the aller Hall Page 52 Assofiatiiiii and a member of the corps des majorettes which leads the Maroon and Gold Band at every football game. June Eaton, who was secretary of the class this year, is scheduled to be treasurer of the Community Gov- ernment Association next year. Florabelle Schrecongost was the efficient treasurer of the class. Amoiij; the Juniors who served in im| iii l;iiil places were Virginia Hughes, the secretary of the Wallei ' Hall Association; and Joseph Hudock. |)resident of the North Hall Association. Reber Fisher, as chairman of the elec- tions board of the C. G. A., had a big job this year, with all the primaries and inconclusive elections he and his committee had to supervise. Congratulations are in order for the fine wav in which the connnitlee performed. Orchids are also due Bob Borneman who. as chair- man of the chapel committee, worked hard to secure programs which the students would enjoy. Bob also acted as president of the Student Christian Association, and for next year is president of Pi Omega Pi. To Jim Deily we give the paper of headache jjills. He will need them next year as president of the C. G. A. Gerald Fritz is another junior who got around last year. He edited the Maroon and Gold and acted as president of the Dramatic Club. Next year he will struggle with the 1941 Obiter. Lots of luck to you, Gerry. Business manager, to take charge of the finances of the book will be Clark Renninger. Victor Turini will share tiie office next year as editor of the Maroon and Gold.

Among the affairs to which we look forward as the Obiter goes to press are the Junior Prom, scheduled for May tenth, and the musical comedy.

On the track team many Juniors are active. Joe Sworin was unfortunately kept out of the meets this ear with an injured arm, but Howard Tomlinson, Walter Reed.

Page 55 The Cameraman Covers the College . m Vciisity liciskelhcill Under llie guidance of Coach George C. Buchheit the 1939-1940 Husky basketball squad turned in a highly successful season. Winning a total of ten games as against four losses, the Maroon and Gold basketeers high-lighted their season with a hard-fought victory over the strong West Chester Teachers fi e. Taking the season in review, the sthcdiiic opened with a 57-41 victory over a surprisingly strong alumni outfit. Following this came successive victories over Lock Haven. Shippensburg. and Mansfield bv top-heavy scores. Millers ille. the team that later went on to win the mythical State Teachers College championship. then administered the first Husky defeat by the close score of 59-53. Snapping right back after this defeat. E. Stroudsburg was defeated 43-38, but Shippensburg then U|)set the Huskies on the Red Raider ' s new gymnasium, and the powerful Millersville quintet added a second straight setback upon the Huskies. Again regaining its stride the Bloomsburg five emerged victorious over Mansfield, Lock Haven. West Chester, and Montclair of New Jersey.

Rated as strong as tlie championship Millersville team. West Chester expected little troulile with the Huskies. However, Coach Buchheit placed an inspired squad on the floor who went on to win by a close 59-54 score. The fourth and final defeat of the season was suffered at E. Stroudsburg by a score of 58-43. However, the Huskies closed the season just as they began it — with a victor). This was a 71-31 drubbing over Indiana on the Indians ' home court. Many Indiana rooters stated after the game that the exhibition of basketball displayed by the Bloonisburg quintet w-as the finest ever witnessed at the school. Leading the Husky five to most of its victories was the hard- driving Bill Kerchusky. A consistent point-getter and fine floor- man, Kerchusky gained state recognition by being named on the second All-State Teachers College team. Pacing Kerchusky was Leonard Slim Herr, a sophomore, whose outstanding ofTensive work earned him honorable mention on the All-State Teachers College selections. Another boy who contributed many points to the en ialile Bloomsburg tf)tal was Walinchus, a promising freshman. Rounding out this trio were two of the finest defensive players in many seasons, Maslowsky and Baird, two newcomers to the squad. Looking toward next season. Coach George C. Buchheit cannot help but feeling opt(jmistic as not one single player is lost by graduation. With the same outfit representing Bloomsburg next year, the Maroon and Gold squad should go far toward wiiming the nnlhical state title.

Unde- feated in six encounters, the Husky ]3ups gave evidence of producing some verv fine material for Coach George C. Buchheit s varsity squad of next year. The season included victories over Edvvardsville All-Stars, Penn State Extension School of Hazleton, McCann Business. Danville Doctors. Mansfield Jav ee. and a strong Luzerne Mohawk quintet. The victory over the Luzerne five was perhaps the high- light of the season. Opposing a team of seasoned basketball players, the Jay Vee squad put on a determined last period drive to emerge ictorious bv the score of 41 -22. Standoul jjerformances were gi en in every game h Halpin and Kashuba. two ery tall freshmen who looked quite promising. The Jav Vee squad also had a brother act by the Valentes.

In many schools the day girl is left to shift for herself. This was once true here at Bloomsburg. but in 19.30 the small group of Locker Room Girls organized formally, elected officers, and drew up a constitution. Since then the organization has grown steadily and today we have a well- equipped day room and an organization which promotes the interests of all women dav students. Page 64 All (if the uoiiipn that ((immute and all that li r in the louii of Bloomsburg are members of the Da Women ' s Association. The Official Board is the executive body of the association. There are ten members on the board — the President and Vice President who are elected by the association, and two representatives elected by each of the classes. After the board members are elected, one member of llie board is selected to each of the following positions: Secretary, Treasurer, Chairman of House Committee, Social Chairman. Pub- licity Chairman, and Public Service Chairman. The members of the board for the following year are elected in the spring. The results are ke]3t secret until the new members are presented by the old members at the annual He-She Partv which is held iji April and sponsored b the Day Women ' s Association, and the Waller Hall Association. During the Christmas season the Day Women ' s Association secures the names of four needy families from the Red Cross. Each class takes charge of one family, and contributes food, clothing, and toys or anything else that may make their Christmas a happy one. First Kow, I.i ' ft to Kitjlit— L. Sloin-y. M. Stein, .7.

Located in the basement of North Hall, it is not a quiet place. The radio is going full blast all day long, and someone is usually trying to harmonize with it. Besides the racket from the radio, there is always a good argument between the boys from Berwick and Coal Township about the bas- ketball games for the past ten years. The art of table tennis was to be seen in its rarest form until someone broke the table down during a wrestling match. Now the boys seem to be content to argue about an exciting game of pinochle, and the game goes along peacefully unless someone tears the deck to pieces. Sleeping is a popular indoor sport in the day-room. Every morning at least a half dozen lads are stretched out on what is left of the furniture, snoozing peacefully, forgetting they are supposed to be in class. The latest fad that has taken the day-room by storm is photography. Candid shots are being snapped con- tinually and one no longer feels safe to make an out-of- the ordinary move for fear that his picture will be taken.

The Dramatic Club is one of the most popular extra-curricular activities on the campus of Bloomsburg as well as the oldest. The present organization provides for student-directed plavs to be pre- sented each week, followed bv constructive criticism by members and director of the club. Valuable experience can be gained by every member of this organization in acting and directing plays. The Dramatic Club furnishes plays for college affairs and for organizations in the town and outlying communities. ' Bachelor Born, a plav given with the assistance of the dramatic fraternity, was presented for the benefit of the public. This play was greatly enjoyed and helped to give the people an idea of the kind of work the members of the club are capable of doing. One of the outstanding events in the club program is the annual Children ' s Theater. This is a presentation of a play for the iienefit of the children of the town and the training school. It is given under the auspices of the Parent Teachers Association. Members of the Page 72 BtCHKLOK BoilN college are iinited guests, ami it has proven to be very imuh worthwhile. Last year there were approximately 1.000 children who attended the play. This year will be the fourth year that the event has been given by the dramatic club. A service pin is awarded to members who have done outstanding work in the club during the year. Members of the club are chosen for Alpha Psi Omega, national honorary dramatic fraternity. These two awards are considered to be well earned and worthwhile honors. Students are able to join the ( lub by a tryout before a committee composed of club members and director.

M. C. A. had a very successful and interesting year. This organization had a membership of over one hundred fifty students and each took an active part in the work of the association. During the Freshman Week, the association put on a special Sunday afternoon meeting in the auditorium with Reverend Dr. S. A. Marker as speaker, followed by a tea in the Lobbv for all students and their friends. The annual Winter Festival was conducted with huge success and included some very interesting games and programs along with fortune-telling and refreshments. Representatives from the S. C. A. were sent to conferences at Gettysburg College, Bucknell University, Eagles Mere and Buck Hill Falls. Sherwood Eddy, a well known lecturer, addressed the student body here at a chapel program wliic ii was sponsored by this association. Some of the speakers for the year have included: Dr. Kehr. Dr. Maupin, Mr. Mc- Mahan. Dean Andruss, and Harrv Barton, . ' ome very interesting socials have been rirst Row Left li. liljilit— 1 ' ;. Ci-rii, J. SolaiKis. M. Y..uiiu. M. Wljitlij. S. ' :iiineT.

Singing has been an outstanding feature of the programs of this association, and the S. C. A. not only has had old-fashioned songs at its meetings, hut has led the singing of hymns in the main lobby on Sunday afternoon. From the interest and cooperation shown this year the association will be success- ful. It would seem that the merging of the two christian associations on our campus has been entirely successful.

Reams Every day of our lives history is being made. News events of great importance are happening before our very eyes. Headlines are big but tell us little of the true situation which can be arrived at only by study and discussions of contrasts and com- parisons drawn by authorities. Such discussions are bound to give understanding on the subject. And so the Public Affairs Forum meets to discuss topics pertinent to the affairs of the world today and also problems of purely local interest. In the spring semester of 1938 the Public Affairs Forum was organized under the direction of the College Council and sponsored by Prof. E. A. Reams of the Social Studies Department. It has been functioning successfully ever since its organization. The Forum meets Monday evening in the social rooms of Noetling Hall where spirited discussions take place. Some of the topics discussed were, ' German-Russian Alliance, Dies Investigation Committee on I n-American Activities, Chapel Programs and Evening Entertainment Courses at B. S. T. C. Neutrality Bill, Capture of the City of Flint, Background for War. Smoking Rooms for Girls at B. S. T. C, A New Far West in the Far East, Eyes on Russia. Possible Presidential Candidates, Is Youth of America Doing Its Share. The main social event of the year was an outing held at the Boy Scout Cabin. Included on the program were games, a picnic lunch, swimming, and story telling as the group sat arouiKJ the fireplace. Seated. Lett to l!ii;lit— Mr. Ueanis. F. I ' ai-k, S. Mill.r, ,1 r..i,..

F. Fenstemaker During the first semester of this school year, the Language Chilj was organized under the sponsorship of Prof. Fenstemaker. The pur]JOse of the club is to create a better understanding of the relationship between English and foreign languages and also to give elementary instruction in French, Spanish, and German. Membership does not require previous study of a foreign language. Every other week, the language groups meet .separately to learn a language. The directors of these groups are Josefina Valladares, Spanish; Hannah Unger, French; Prof. Fenstemaker, German. At the general meetings, the members have movies, sing foreign songs, and discuss foreign countries, languages, and customs. The club is a member of an international corre- spondence organization, and reading letters from foreign countries is an interesting acti itv at the general meetings. Page 77 First Ui.w.

The club carried out during the year an extensive program of meetings designed to bring to the members, through group discussion and jiractical experience, a new understanding of proper conduct in our social world, at all functions, and in all groups. The members have shown by their activities that such a ilub is of great benefit to the entire student body as well as to the individual.

The aim of the ehih is to promote throughout the student liod) of the college an interest in both biological and physical science. The program of the club has been most varied and interesting. The activities this year have included reports on the New York World ' s Fair, discussions on The Night Blooming Cereus, Super- stitions and L nfounded Beliefs, and Chemical Warfare. The group sponsored a much-enjoyed chapel program and also held quizzical quizzes and went on field trips to many points of interest in this section, satisfactorily combining fun and study.

The idea of forming (his club is said to have originated in the Day Men ' s Room where a limerick written by Robert Savage appeared. The cluh has grown each year and now averages a membership of fifty students. The first sponsor was Miss Ruth Eisman. The present sponsor is Miss Ethel Shaw. Former presidents have been Jav Pursel, Sylvia Conway, and Ethel Lauer. The president this year is Victor Turini. The members of the Poetry Club hold an informal meeting each week during which they discuss the lives, works, and philosophies of various poets. Among the poets discussed this year are Stephen Vincent Benet, Dorothy Parker. Edna St. Vincent Millay. James Russel Lowell. Alfred Neyes. Edgar Allen Poe. and Harriet Monroe. Sometimes we ha e had poems on such topics as Courage. Humor. Poetry for the Athlete. Poetr Set to Music, and Dialect Poems. Each season has been celebrated u ith poems which glorified it for us and each holida has been cele- brated with appropriate poetry. The Christmas celebration and St. Valentine s Day were special occasions for which each riieniber oi the club wrote an original verse. Our guest speakers have included members of the faculty and prominent citi- zens of Bloomsburg who have shared with us original or favorite poems. Visitors who appeared on a chapel program sponsored by the Poetry Club were Miss Dorothy Watkeys, vocalist, and Mrs. Walter Zerbe. pianist, who presented origi- nal verse and music. It was Dr. Marguerite Kehr who suggested a Bloomsburg Book of Verse in which such poems as are deemed worthy of a place are recorded. The aim of the Poetry Club is to endeavor to create an opportunity for the enjoyment of poetry, for as Walt Whitman said, To have great poets, we must have great audiences. and this is the motto of the Poetry Club.

Outstanding among the social events of the year was the Business Education Club Victory Dance, the first big dance on the college calendar. Another enjoyable and interesting feature was the annual outing held at Colum- bia Park where faculty and students let themselves go in ball games, skating, dancing, and eating picnic fashion. The Program Committee, with the willing cooperation of the members of our group, really did a fine job in presenting interesting, educational entertainment at the meetings.

As in previous years, the Business Ed Club sponsored the Commercial Contest for high schools. We credit the cooperation of our teachers and students for success- fully administering so great an undertaking. The results of the contest and the growing interest of schools in this area in our work point toward keener competition and still better contests in the future. A great step was taken by deciding to send a delegate to attend the convention of the Eastern Commercial Teach- ers Association so that we may benefit from his report on important discussions in our field.

The Council was organized in 1937 to create greater harmony in fraternity relationships, to encourage educational activities among the members, and to promote all social activities sponsored by professional fraternities. Each fraternity has four representatives on the council: the president, two elected delegates, and the faculty sponsor. The Council held a social evening in the gymnasium with cards, other games, and dancing. The Maroon and Gold Dance Band delighted the audience with its fine music. The main affair which the Council sponsored this year was the Service Area Day. This was held at the college on February tenth, with teachers attending from Columbia, Montour and Luzerne counties. At the general session. Dr. C. 0. Williams of the Pennsylvania Department of Public Instruction spoke on teacher rating. Each fraternity then held a panel discussion of a topic of interest to its members and guests. All the groups met for lunch in the college dining room at noon. Following the meal. Robert L. Sutherland. Dean of Men at Bucknell University, spoke on Inventions in Morality. The Council performed a great service to the school in sponsoring this fine program. First Row, Left to lUiilit— E. A.

The fraternity has been busy presenting one-act plays in Blooms- burg and surrounding towns; initiating new members, and carrying on various social functions. Each year the fraternity presents one three-act play. This year the play was Bachelor Born by Ian Hay. The annual one-act ])lay tournament was held on March 16 with Hanover Township winning in Class A, and Tunkhannock in Class B. On March 14 The Wonder Hat was presented at the Rotary- Kiwanis meeting. In April the annual children ' s play, sponsored by the P. T. A. and cast by members of lioth the Dramatic Club and Alpha Psi Omega was given. This year the play was Seven Little Rebels.

The fraternity sent two delegates, Lorraine Lichtenwalner and Stanley Kotzen. Id the Pi Omega Pi National Convention held at Pittsburgh. Another interesting event was the informal interviews made b Walter Reed of the student teachers at Williamsport. Other interesting activities of the fraternity were a question bee, book and magazine article reviews, and informal discussions relati e to business education. Twelve members were initiated into the fraternity this year, bringing the total membership to 115. Following the formal reception, the old members extended the hand of welcome at an informal gathering.

The lota Chapter was in- stalled at Bloonisliurg, April 26, 1930. Before this there had been an organization on the campus bearing the name of Omega Chi, which was the first chapter of a national fraternity ever installed on our campus, but it had ceased to play an important part in the col- lege program by this time; so a chapter of the national professional fraternity for men was installed. , At Phi Sigma Pi ' s first 1939-1940 meeting. Dean Koch and Professor Reams gave interesting talks about the meaning of fra- ternities to fraternity members. On October 23 informal initiations were held in the social rooms of Noetling Hall. Formal initiation of pledges was held in the social rooms of Noetling Hall. Pledges becoming members were: Norman Cool, Ralph McCracken, Richard Nonnemacher, Clark Renninger, Ralph Zimmerman. Theodore Parsell. Leonard Bowers, and Elwood Beaver. The December meeting was held at Mr. Reams home with Mr. Ray Cole, County Superintendent, giving a worthwhile talk cm teacher rating cards. The fraternity also decided to sponsor a mock presidential campaign which is to acquaint the student body with the procedures of party elections and nominations. On Fciiruar I anotiier meeting was held at Mr. Reams home and articles in the fraternity magazine were discussed. At the beginning of the year the fraternity had twenty-three members on the campus in good standing and now has thirty-one. Page 102 First Row. I.. ' ll tu Uiyht— Dr. N.irtli. Dpmm Kt.rli. U. Fisher.

For admittance into the Club, one thousand points must have been earned, half team points, and half individual. The team points can be earned by participation in such intramural sports as volley- ball, hockey, baseball, soccer; while swimming, roller-skating, etc.. are counted as individual points. The dull makes several overnight camping trips throughout the year; cooking the meals over an open fire and. in general. loughing it.

The first of five defeats came against Mansfield I)) llie score of 9-.5. After a close victory over Shippensburg. the men wearing Maroon and Gold suffered four consecutive defeats before finding themselves to hand Lock Haven a 5-2 defeat.

Participating in ten matches, the Huskies lost only three en- counters with only one teachers college, Mansfield, able to defeat them. However. Mansfield was later defeated to give Bloomsburg claim to the mythical state teachers college cham- pionship. The fact that Bloomsburg played teachers colleges from every section of the state gives the Huskies precedence o er Mansfield. The varsity lettermen were Maclyn Smethers, Bill Strawinski. Edmund Villa, Raymond Spence. Lloyd Smith, and Robert Hopkins. William Yarworth filled the position of manager. The season opened with the Huskies bowing to a strong Mansfield sextet. However, the very next match found Blooms- burg gaining revenge with a 5-4 victory over the same team. Two more victories, one over West Chester, 6-2, and the other over Shippensburg. i!-l. followed before going down to defeat at the hands of a strong Bucknell aggregation, 5-4. The next three matches saw Bloomsburg defeat Susquehanna, Kutztown, and Indiana in succession by top-heavy scores. Then came the return match with Bucknell, and again the Bisons emerged victorious, this time h a 7-2 score. The season closed suc- cessfully, however, w ith the Huskies easily defeating East Stroudsburg, 8-1. The season ' s record stands at 7 wins as against 3 losses. Graduation last June left several vacancies that will be difficult to fill. Bill Slawinski, one of the finest tennis players ever seen on the hill, Maclyn Smethers and Robert Hopkins all received their di]jIomas. Along with this, Lloyd Smith failed to return to school this year. However, Raymond Spence and Edmund Villa remain to form the nucleus of another fine team. With the addition of several promising freshmen, Prof is confident that his 1940 team w ill ably defend its claim to the m thical state title.

The most outstanding feature of the season was the state meet at Ship- pensburg in which the Huskies amassed 61 1 3 points compared with . 52 points recorded by their nearest competitor. West Chester. This being Bloomsburg ' s third straight cham]jionship. it gave the Huskies ]jermanent possession of the cherished tropin.

Altliough the loss of Van Devender, Harwood, Zelesky, Mulhern, and Parker will l)e greatly felt liy their graduation last year, it is expected that our great track coach, George C.

S. T. C. II The Senior ()l iss The Class of 1940 has at last come to the time when its members must leave the Alma Mater and put their education to a practical test. When they were new at Bloomsburg. they did not realize the full extent and importance of an education, but as the) ha e |)ro- gressed through their college careers, they have come to see that training for a life ' s work is indeed important. Under the leadership of different members of the class at dillcrcnt times, the class has made its contribution to B. S. T. C. and has tried to live up to the high standards that ha e been set by former classes at the college. As the college begins a second century of service to the ]jeopIc of Pennsylvania, the seniors go forth to serve in the ] ublic schools of the state.

The dusty records of over a half a century ago reveal the fact that the Magee Carpet Company was organized in i ,._ 1889 by James Magee, 2nd, for the ' fTTTl i-f manufacture of Ingrain and Body V Brussels carpets and rugs and carriage .J Jl-S .- ii J carpets. The small building that housed a few looms and a few em- ployees has disappeared. Today in its place stand the huge mill structures of the company containing the most mod- ern of the intricate machinery necessary for the manufac- ture of high grade floor coverings. Fifteen hundred em- ployees are required to operate the industry. Millions of pounds of wool, cotton, and jute are used in a year, and millions of yards of carpet are woven and distributed in every state of the Union. The business of the Magee Carpet Company is nation-wide. It has offices in the principal cities of the United States. The company manufactures Room Rite, Axminster , Wilton, and Broadloom carpets and rugs in all grades and sizes for homes, churches, theaters, railroads, lodges, hotels, and offices. The Magee Carpet Company ' s plant in operation is open for inspection Friday ' s, 10 a. m. and 2 p. m. Page 165 THE DAIRY STORE 6 West Main Street Bloomsburg, Pa. The Ho Die of Values J. C.
