PUBLISHED BY THE SEDIORCLRSS LH1.B55 0011132U ... BLOOMSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA Education must fulfill its objectives! We, in America, have set forth the seven cardinal principles as ours. This year, if never before, we must promote them within everyone. We must prepare the future generations to rise above wars and strive for peace and a feasible way of life. It is with this idea in mind that we have planned this 1942 Obiter. By dividing the Obiter into four main books: Administration, Classes, Activities, and Athletics, we have separated the principles to fall and be developed into their proper order. Under the first book. Administration, we have developed citizenship and ethical character. In the second book. Classes, the two principles, fundamental processes and vocation have been developed. The third book. Activities, develops the two principles, home membership and leisure time. Athletics, the fourth book, represents the principle of health. ( CONTENTS Book I.— ADMINISTRATION 1.

The torch which you have lighted shall help us to find our way along the dark path of the uncer tain future. We shall look upon each little disappointment and failure as a small stumhling hlock to be overcome by a higher jump and a broader smile. We shall lift our heads and re- flect upon your kind guidance, and so, inspired again, we shall resume our struggle. We have known you as adviser, teacher, gentle- man, and friend. It is only in this way. by dedicating the Obiter of 1942 to vou, that we can seek to pay you our highest tribute and show our sincere appreciation of your im- partiality, careful guidance, and stauncii friendship. i ' Mm : ■■ ' I! tlH Benjamin Franklin Training School or IF .1 III III M 111 m m ill 1 Junior High School 4 Waller Hall North Hall Carver Hall Gym NoETLiNG Hall Science Hall A Message to the Class of 1942: The quest for certainty is iis uld as maiikiml. To make certain an uncertain future is the problem of every generation. Youth is ahvavs confused hy the process of growing up and the changing of events in the world at large. Each generation feels that its problems are more serious than the previous one and to that extent every generation has a rendezvous with destiny. Into such a world, we send you with the hope that vou will be able to meet the problems of the future as well as you have met those of the last four years. The first line of defense now and later lies in the strength of the whole nation and Democracy will need to make as great an effort to defend itself AFTER as DURING this war period. Let us reconstruct as we resist and in so doing may you reflect credit upon your Alma Mater, carrying with you the thought that we shall ever be interested in your progress. Yours for Victory at home and aliroad. President. 16 To THE Members of the Class of 1942: The past four eventful years have produced many changes in your lives. You have fortified your character by encountering and conquer- ing what at the time seemed to be unsurmountable difficulties. You have established many friendships, which as the years go by will be counted among your most cherished possessions. Furthermore, and significantly, you have integrated many of your experiences into a pat- tern of living — a pattern that should make your life continuously useful. Personally, I am thankful to have had at least a small part in lives so potentially rich. My sincere hope is that regardless of where duty takes you or how greatly you are lieset by evils and adversities you will continue to have faith in yourself, faith in your fellowmen, and abiding faith in your God. Sincerely yours. Dean of Instruction. 17 To THK MkmBERS of THE GRADUATING Cijvss of 1942: A grave and serious responsibility awaits those of you who graduate as the first W ar Class of the Second World War. Your responsibilities will be directed in many channels, and perhaps your faith in many unquestioned ideals will be shaken. Those of us who remain at Bloomsburg have con- fidence in you and your ability to meet that challenge. My best wishes for success go with you and it is my sincere hope that you will all find it possible to return frequenll to your Alma Mater. Cordially ours. John C. Koch. Dean of Men. To the Class of 1942: Four vears of college stretch ahead as a long time to the freshman. To the senior they seem all too short. Like the god of the Romans whose two faces could see in opposite directions, you are looking back over your college life but you are also looking forward to making a place for yourself in the larger world outside. We wish for vou the best of everything there. Come back often. You will always find a welcome at Bloomsburg. Happy landings! Marguerite Kerr, Dean of Women. 18 The Business Education Curriculum offers training in business knowl- edge and skill as well as teaching theory and practice. This field not only certifies students to teach but also prepares them for other business vo- cations. The department is under the direction of Mr. W. C. Forney and is well-equipped to train teachers and to do pioneer work in progressive education. College certification may be secured in the following subjects: Book- keeping and Accounting. Business Writing, English, Commercial and Economic Geography, Connnercial Law, Commercial Mathematics, Eco- nomics, Junior Business Training, Office Practice, Salesmanship and Retail Selling, Typewriting, Business Arithmetic, and American Government. Schools co-operating in teacher training are located in Berwick, Bloomsburg, Dan ille and Williamsport. These schools afford training in such business subjects as: Shorthand, Typewriting, Business English, Law. Arithmetic, Bookkeeping, Filing, Junior Business Training, and Economics. Apprenticeship teaching means observation of regularly employed teachers, lessons, units of work, and participation of the student as a teacher while under the observation of the training teacher.

Park Ortb 19 This department has set up a system wheieb the students gain a great deal of experience in actual teaching situations before regular teaching is begun. A placement service is carried on by the Teacher Training Department which co-operates with the Placement Service of the Department of Public Instruction in securing places for graduates. The courses in education which are offered are: an orientation course; psychology; guidance; the theory, history, and philosophy of education; and many teaching techniques. Mr. William C. Forney and Dr. Thomas P. North have done much to guide students in their selection of courses. Mr. John C. Koch has lent every effort to the fostering of education in the field of athletics. Mr. John J. Fisher has been outstanding in the field of phychology. His courses include the principles underlying the valid, reliable objective tests to be given in the classroom; discussion of problems in the learning process; individualized instruction; and the psychological behavior of the human liody in relation to social institutions and vocations.

Courses in speech and play production were taught by Miss Alice Johnston, who also has charge of the speech clinic at the Benjamin Franklin Training School and of the College.

Plans are being made to make Spanish an elective field. 22 S. I. Shurtess, Ethel A. Itiiiisoii. K. C. Kiisti-r SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS Many students elect the science and mathematics for their major work. These fields are quite popular with the student body, judging from the large number selecting this combination of subjects. The Physical Science Department is in charge of Mr. S. I. Shortess who teaches courses in Chemistry and Physical Science. Dr. Kimber C. Kuster has charge of the Biological Science De- partment. He teaches courses in Botany, Zoology, Physiology, Genetics and related subjects. Dr. Kuster has won for himself considerable popularity among the elementary and secondary students. The field of mathematics is in charge of Miss Ethel A. Ransom, Dean of the Day Women, who teaches courses in College Algebra, Mathematical Analysis and Mathematics in the Secondary Field. 23 The Secondary students may choose Geography and Social Studies as two of their fields for certification. Both fields contain courses uhicii are in many respects closely related and serve the prospective teacher in giving a valuable background of in- forniatit)n which mav be used in understanding man ' s relation to his environment. Instructors in the Social Studies Department are: Dr. Nell Maupin, teaching Modern European Histor , United States History, Sociology, Origin of Social Institutions, and American Government; and Mr. E. A. Reams, teaching Economics, Political Science, U. S. History, and History of PennsyKania. Others wlio teach various courses in this department are Miss Mary Whitenight and Miss Edna J. Hazen.

Baicer 25 llnhert Murynii, Betty raiiling, Harriet Moore MUSIC The music department does not use formal and standardized teaching methods but rather attempts to bring out the individuality of the students. Secondary and elementary students may take courses in the his- tory and appreciation of music. An opportunity to continue the study of music under efficient instructors is offered to those who have studied music in its various phases. Private piano instruction may be had from Mr. Morgan while violin and vocal lessons are given by Miss Pauling. A course has been organized to teach with the least detail the rudiments of rhythm, notereading and performance. The music department owes much to Miss Harriet Moore whose cheerful and willing efforts have gone far to increase the efficiency of this de- partment. 26 LIBRARY The library is under the direction oi Miss Pearl Mason and her capable assistant, Miss Dorothy E. Gilmore. One of their duties consists of keeping the students informed of the newest and latest in the literary world. In addition to that the librarians are always willing to help any student with his or her particular problem whether it be on some technical ques- tion or selection of a novel. Miss Pearl Mnson, Miss Dorotliy E. Cilinure ART The students of the secondary and elementary curriculums are offered courses in the history and apprecia- tion of art. The elementary field also includes courses which embody the six fundamental principles of art as ap- plied to everyday living. The superiority of the art depart- ment may be directly attributed to Professor Keller ' s untiring guidance of his art classes. He has endeavored to give his students practice in draw- ing, lettering, poster making, creative designing, and the use of color. Another art course is concerned with paper and cardboard construc- tion, modeling, and carving. All of the courses aim to develop sound aesthetic judgment and ajipreciation of good design in clothes and home decorations. George J. Keller 27 C. M. ll:in-k Ill, N i i:i)L:lcli;irt The responsibility of administer- ing the finances of the college is the work of Mr. C. M. Hausknecht, Busi- ness Manager, who performs his duties very efficiently. Mr. N. T. Englehart, Superinten- dent of Grounds and Buildings, is very essential to the college as his work consists mainly of the super- vision of repairs and maintenance, and preparation for dances, entertain- ments, and special days at the college. His multiple duties keej) him very busy. The student body is grateful for his efficient maintenance of the college properties and campus and have come to regard him as indis- pensable to the smooth operation of college activities. BUSINESS MANAGER AND SUPERINTENDENT OF GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS RESIDENT NURSE AND DIETICIAN Miss Beatrice Mettler, the resident nurse, is always ready to administer to students. She may be found in the infirmary at regular hours daily. Miss Mettler is a graduate of the Johns Hopkins Hospital Training School of Baltimore, Maryland. Miss Violet Simpson, the dietician, directs the buying, preparing, and serving of all meals in the college dining room. Her friendliness and charm lend savour to her meals and make eating in the dining room a pleasure.

S. T. C. The guidance they have given us throughout these four years has required time and patience, but all were very willing to help us. 32 THE SENIOR CLASS Four years ago, when th CTSfss .(1 1942 started out on a new road, we had no idea t ' af ' sa. iwiTy o ur plans would be changed. We, who are graduating this year, take off our hats to those young men who started out on the new road with us but were unable to go to the end. Some of them left school voluntarily at the first call, but others remained a little longer, hoping that conditions would change that they might finish their education and march proudly to their goal posts. Nevertheless, these men will be back a little later and be able to help the newcomers at B. S. T. C. It has been through the guidance of our instructors that we have developed a greater interest in education. We extend our appreciation to them. Under the leadership of our Class Presidents Edward Balchunas, Ralph McCracken, Frank Shope, and Ralph Zimmerman we have tried to live up to the standards of our ' ' Alma Mater. Our class is proud to have been able to complete our work at Bloomsburg, and to the Seniors of Tomorrow we extend our best wishes! Earl Harris Treasurer 33 RUTH BAIRD EDITH BARTHA ALBERT P.

The year 1939 saw an increase in the scholastic requirements to graduate from any State Teachers College in Pennsylvania. Prior to this date, students who had completed three years work were granted a limited license to teach. But with the increase of educational quali- fications, all teachers were required by law to seek additional credit to be applied toward receiving their Bachelor ' s Degree. In order not to interfere with their teaching the so-called teachers-in-service have arranged with the college administration to have classes con- ducted on Saturday as well as during the summer. By the foregoing arrangement a teacher may earn a semester ' s credit without discontinuing his teaching in any way. The teachers- in-service and students completing their work in January have their graduation ceremonies along with the students who graduate in May. 63 64 65 66 67 Seated. Left to Right— Ruth Hope.

We can- not but feel tiie refining influence of our college training and sense the co-operative spirit of class and college. Serving very capably in the various class offices were John Witkoski, president; John Hubiak, vice president; Jean Kuster, secretary; and Ruth Hope, treasurer. Reba Henry and Boyd Buckingliam represented the class in the College Council. When we returned to school this year it was as though things were not the same as they used to be. Some of JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY our friends had already felt the call. They were doing their part directly for Uncle Sam. We take our hats oiT to those boys. We take our hats off to those boys, too, who are with us yet doing their part, such as those who are taking the Civil Pilots Training Course.

The responsibilities and eontriimtions ot tlie Junior Class extended well into other fields. More and more students were making a name for themselves. In ath- letics, the class made itself felt: in foothall by ' Whitey Maslowsky, George Menariek, and Joe Kozlowsky; in basketball, by Eddie Walinchus, ' Whitey Maslowsky, Herriie Pufnak. and Tony Valente; in soccer, by Elwood Wagner. Girls active in athletics were Catherine Hess, Hazel O ' Brien, and Ruth Shonk. 70 IreiiH KuliU. Siiruli Il.itli ' iist. I.irst How. I..4t ti, l;ii;ht- Eilwiinl IIcM.lric-ks. S:ira J.

No less important is the dramatic talent. You should have seen George Miller, Betty Bier- man, Lee Beaumont, and Irv Gottlieb in the recent com- edy, George Washington Slept Here! As this goes to the press, the Class of 1943 is looking forward to the Junior Prom which is scheduled for May 8 and to the Junior assembly program. Unless all signs fail, the class is yet to show its true ability in these two events. So here ' s to the Juniors — may they make real history. 71 Seated, Left to Right Aime Louise Sbortess, Edna Snyder, Elaine K re i seller Sfniiding — Just ' i ' li (Jillospie. rnnl Rowlaiuls;, .Tnliii Tliumas SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS President Paul Rowlands Vice President Joe Gillespie Secretary Elaine Krelscher Treasurer -------- Edna Snyder 72 The memljers of the class of 1944 returned to col- lege in the fall of 41 with an air of confidence and hope- fulness. They began their career as upperclassmen by entering enthusiastically into initiating the green Freshmen. The entire affair was one of fun and good sportsmanship, and the oppressed Frosh became the best of friends with the Sophomores. The class launched forth under the leadership of Paul Rowlands, who filled the office of presidency. The other officers were Joseph Gillespie, vice president; Elaine Kreischer, secretary; and Edna Snyder, trea- surer. Anne Shortess and John Thomas were represen- SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY tatives of the class to the College Council. Dr. Nelson was the class adviser. At the first opportunity, the Sophomores revealed the hidden talents of various memi)ers of the class. This occasion presented itself in the form of a program pre- sented in assembly on December 8. Betsy Smith was general chairman of the program which contained hu- mor, music, and drama. On February twenty-first came a momentous occa- sion for the Sophomores, the Sophomore Cotillion. The decorations, in charge of Frederick Dent, were unicjue and original in portraying the patriotic spirit that per- 73 rirst ICiiw, Left to Kii;lit — Ciirinel Sirriaiii. Emma Huti-liinsoti.

Members of the class started their college career together, bnt due to the introdnction of the three- year attendance plan, they will not all graduate at the same time. But the class spirit and loyalty will not lie broken: nor will friendships be severed by this change. With the fine showing they have made in their two years at the college, we may expect great things of the class of 1944. 75 L i Sfafed. Left I . i;iL:lir Miu:! l ' .-;nir I ' -.-iLt, .l.

Registration Day, revealed an interesting and energetic group of young men and wo- men eager to start along the educational path to success. As scene one slowly fades away into dramatic ob- livion, the soft, sweet nuisic of an orchestra, chattering of friendly voices, and tlie slow shuffling of dancers; feet can be heard in the distance. Then the curtain rolls back for the second time disclosing the freshman recep- tion, which was sponsoreil by the faculty and the Com- munity Government Association in the old gymnasium, October 4, 1941. The freshmen had an enjoyable eve- FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY ning through the courtesy shown them by the faculty and upperclassmen in their friendly introductions and con- versations. As scene three comes into view, we find the upper- classmen allowing the freshmen to reveal their various talents by presenting a chapel program. Sam Mazzeo was appointed general chairman, and with the aid of all the freshmen, it was soon discovered that they had excel- lent talent within their group. The outstanding one of them was Louise Adams who demonstrated her ability at the piano. Then the hot cauldron of Custom Activities cracked open with a mighty roar laying bare the many pranks 77 First K v. l.c ' ll to Itiuht Kiith Williiim-inn. ! ' ..-;; IIhss.

How can we ever forget the colorless smiles of the freshmen girls, the stylish black worn hy the fresh- men hoys, the daily serenades in Waller Hall lobby, and the numerous marriage proposals. Stunt day final- ly brouglil forth the lusty shrieks of humorous laughter when the freshman girls appeared with their freakish make-up and paraphernalia and the hoys in their hobo outfits shouting: Hallelujah, Tm a bum! The freshman class was given its first major respon- sibility when they held the election for class officers with the assistance of Mr. Joseph Bailer, who was the class adviser for the first nine weeks.

As the curtain is about to ring down on the first act of Freshman Class — 1945, it is quite evident that the performance will have an exceptional four-year run, and the merits of the cast will shine brightly throughout the years to come. 79 80 81 UTIVITIES COMMUNITY GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION Elwood Beaver President Vice Presidents Secretary Treasurer - OFFICERS Elwood Beaver Donald Jenkins.

The purpose of this organization is to create better co-operation among the students, faculty, and administration. Four officers, three representatives from each of the four classes, the presidents from Waller Hall. Day Women ' s Association, North Hall, and Day Men ' s Association, and faculty representatives compose the College Council. The College Council carries out the executive duties of the Com- munity Government Association. One of the duties of the College Council is sponsoring the Freshman Reception.

The Community Government Association can be proud of the fact that it was represented at two large conventions each year. Mr. Beaver, the presi- dent of C. G.

The Governing Board of the Association consists of a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and three representatives from each of the four classes. The various committee chairmen are ap- pointed by the Governing Board. Dr. Kehr and Miss Rich act as advisors to the Governing Board. The girls have several informal get-togethers during the year in the form of floor parties. Singing and eating comprise the entertainment of these parties. The Farmerette Fall Fun Frolic on November 14 for both day girls and dormitory girls was the highlight of the Fall activities. In December each girl in the dormitory was given the name of a boy or girl for whom she was to buy a gift. The names of these boys and girls were secured from the Bloomsburg chapter of the Red Cross. The gifts were wrapped and delivered by the girls at Christmas time. Although this was a new undertaking, it was a very successful one. A plan for entertaining the mothers on a special week-end was initiated last year. Last year ' s week-end was so successful that the week-end of April lo and 19 was set aside for the second Week- end for Mothers. Last, but not least, on April 17 ihe dormitory girls and day girls held their annual He-She party. At this party the Governing Board members for 1942-1943 were introduced. First Iluw.

Again North Hall has enjoyed another prosperous year. The war situation has not prevented the men from attending school, although a few men have been patriotic and have joined the armed forces of the United Slates. The men that joined were Harry Jenkins and Bud Herbert from the class of ' 42; these men are now second lieutenants in the Army Air Corps. Don Jenkins, a ])rolher of Harry Jenkins, has enlisted in the Army Air Corps. John Maksimuik and W alter Reed are now- ()l)taining their connnissions. Danny Brennan is now a mechanic in Hawaii. John La elle has enlisted in the Navy. You can see by these patriotic enlistments that North Hall is made up of real men. Though the Frosh class of ' 45 came in green it has turned out to be one of the best classes that have enrolled at Bloomsburg. The Frosh were very willing to partici|3ate in the various events that took place on the campus. They are dependable. co-operati e. loyal, and sincere. All in all. they are a swell bunch of fellows. This year North Hall had a special privilege of enjoying the companion- ship of Professor Reams, better known to North Hall men as General Reams. He keeps North Hall men well informed with information on the present war. The biggest social events of North Hall are the smokers which mark the end of the first semester and the end of the term. Entertainment is pro- vided by the talented men of North Hall. Here ' s hoping that North Hall will continue in these trying times.

Besides the racket from the radio, there is a constant click, click of a ping-pong hall hitting the table. Occasionally, one might find a group gathered about the round table in the southwest corner listening to the tall stories of the day. Many of the members of the Day Mens Association have won renown in the athletic contests and social activities of the college. Elwood Beaver, president of the Comnumity Government Association; George Menarick and Walter Maslowsky, co-captains of the varsity football team; Ralph Zimmerman, president of the Senior Class; Wilfred Conrad, Editor of the ' 42 Obiter, and Merrill Deitrich.

The governing hod of the association is the Official Board, consisting of ten members, the president, vice president, and two re|)reseiitatives who are members of each of the classes. The representatives hold the positions of secretary, treasurer, and chairmen of the various committees. The social committee held their annual tea for new freshmen members at the begining of the school term. The first social event for all girls of the college, the Farmer ' s Fall Fun Frolic, commonly known as the 4-F Party, was held in October. At the annual Christmas party Santa Glaus presented each member with a gift. At Christmas time, the members of the association packed Christmas baskets to be distributed to needy families. The organiza- tion also made its contribution to National Defense during the Red Cross drive. At the beginning of the second semester, the Freshmen elected two rep- resentatives to the Official Board. The members of the board for the following year were elected in the spring, the results being announced at the annual He-She party held in April l y the Day Women ' s Association and the Waller Hall Association. The Day Women ' s Organization has grown during the last twelve years and today has a well-equipped day room and an association which promotes the interests of all women day students. The members are proud of their day room which is spacious and comfortable. Here the girls can find relaxa- tion and social interests. The magazines and radio in the day room afford the girls both diversion and amusement. ii::. C, .M. l;.jiLii. M. Truliili. M. Beiler. .M. DeVilis. A. C. Kreisclier. K. Hesi ii.-.i. .1. Lohr. II.

This organization provides for student-directed pla s to he presented each meeting, followed hv the constructive criticisms of the members and director of the club. In this way the students gain poise and ease in appearing before the public. They learn to direct and produce amateur plavs. llie also gain experience in handling props and stage sets. In order to become eligible for membership in this club, a student must compete successfully in tryouts held by a committee for that purpose under the direction of Miss Alice Johnston. 1 he club members furnish plavs for college affairs and for organ- izations in the surrounding towns and comnumities. This ear the play, George Washington Slept Here, was presented to the ]jublic. This play with its variety of stage sets and characterizations was a good sample of the kind of work done by the club members. For their spring play the club presented Pride and Prejudice on May 8 in the college auditorium. This production caused much comment, lor it was the first costume plav produced in quite some time. Each spring service pins are awarded to members who have done outstanding club work during the year. From the dramatic club, mem- bers are chosen for Alpha Psi Omega, national honorary dramatic fra- ternity. These two awards are considered to be well-earned and worthwhile honors.

Mr. Barton, of Hhjomsjiurg, offered colorful slides of fiistoric Columbia County. Another outstanding event was a play presented bv the Play Production Class under the direction of Miss Johnston. The students returning from Williamsport offered many suggestions and answered pertinent questions regarding their student teaching in Williamsport. The college social season was opened bv the Business Education Club with a colorful Thanksgiving Dance. Under the direction of Peter Podwika, general chairman, the Old Gymnasium was con- verted into a woodland splendor complete with wild life and corn stalks. The annual Christmas party was again especially enjovable. Miss Sirrocco was general chairman for this event. A number of interest- ing sound films helped to round out the e ents of the )ear. During the second semester the club became the entertainers ' instead of the entertained, and successfully conducted the annual Commercial Contests for schools in Pennsylvania — one of the biggest events of the college year. Although the contest is sponsored by the Business Education Club, it is onl through the co-operation of the entire Business Education Department that the success of such an undertaking is possible. After the conmiercial contests the Club relaxed at their annual picnic. This marked the end of another successful year. 95 Fir t l;.i v, I,.-ft t.. Kiulit- J. E. I;islii-ll.

C rt ' suiiied its interest in living last fall when tuentv of its stu- dents enrolled in courses during the first semester under the Civilian Pilot Training Program sponsored hv the Civil Aeronautics Authoritv. The purpose of this program is to train voung men in the primar rudiments of flying. Because of the existing world situation, no girls were included in this year ' s classes. About seventy pilots, including three girls, have been trained under this program and ahi ul thiit -three of these pilots are in the Arniv, Navy, or Marine Air Corps. During the second semester the program in Bloomsburg was enlarged to include all five of the Civilian Pilot Training courses. This extensive pro- gram made it ]iossible for students to complete their courses here in Blooms- burg. There were twenty students enrolled in the elementary course and ten in the secondar course during the second semester. To make possible the extension of the program, new planes were brought to the local airport. Among these were an armv trainer, an instructor trainer, and a five-passenger cabin ship with complete radio and instruiiieiit equip- ment to use in cross-country flying. With the addition of new courses in the Civilian Pilot Training Program, the college students were given the opportunity of taking advantage of training in one of the erv few entireh complete programs offered bv colleges in the United States. Mr. Samuel Bigoiiv. operator of the Bloomsburg Airport, has charge of the flight instruction. Learning to fly holds many thrills, the biggest of which according to students, is the pilot ' s first solo flight. The location of the college with relation to the Bloomsburg Airport creates a favorable situation for the C. P. T. Program. The Airport, which is within walking distance of the college, is one of the finest of its size in the eastern part of Pennsylvania. Those students interested in the fields of mathematics, science and geog- raphy find in aviation a field for the application of theories already learned. 96 Kneeling. Left to Right — Albert Barrouk.

Taylor Treasurer Donald Schlieder Sponsor Mr. George Keller A goodly luiiiilier of camera fiends running loose on campus were brought together through the efforts of Stewart Yorks to form what is known as the Photography Club early in iSoveniber of the ])resent school year. At the first meeting there were thirteen members present and their initial job was to formulate a constitution. Robert Warrington, program chairman, arranged some interesting programs on various phases of photography. The first of these was a talk by Mr. Dobyns on the elementary factors in photography. The secretary ' s notes of the lectures were docu- mented and are available to any club member for study or reference. The club sponsor, Mr. Keller, talked at the third meeting on the Essential Elements of a Good Picture. There are four essentials: composition or arrangement of the objects in the rectangle, photographic excellence, originality or angle from which the picture is made, and subject. The two leading photographic supply companies . Agfa and Eastman, offer ex- cellent aids to photography clubs. The Agfa Company has sent the club a group of pamphlets on almost every phase of photography. This material has been placed in the library to be used by anyone who may be interested in the subject. The Eastman Company on one occasion sent an illustrated lecture, Seeing Things for Keeps. Photography can be learned only by doing. It is not theory alone, but practice which develops the knowledge of what happens when a picture is snapped or when prints are developed. The club members learn b participating in these activities. One meeting was devoted to de eloping contact prints. Another consisted of a trip to the Doliyn s Photogra])hv Shop to see how the commercial photogra|iher works and how the field of commercial photography operates. 98 The Handbook is a yearly edition reflecting the eo-operative efforts of the nienihers of the Comnuinitv Goveriniient Association. Every year this organization s|)onsors a Handbook Committee whose purpose is to edit a condensed vohnne of facts about B. S. T. C. This committee works during the s])ring and summer, collecting and organizing data which depicts the ideals of living at Bloomsburg. This ears committee was headed i)y Earl J. Harris, who, acting for the Conununity Government Association, assumed full editorial responsiliility for the 1941-42 issue of the Students Handbook. He is responsible for the appearance of this edition and for its editorial policy. This little volume, appropriately termed the Freshman ' s Bible, is a means of assisting the orientation of new students to the customs and routine of college life. Through this handbook, a calendar of events, sports records, constitutions of various campus organizations, and many other bits of useful information are made available to the faculty and students. It is a reference for all members of the college connnunity and depicts their ideals of !i ing and learning.

Never since the Maroon and Gold was established 18 years ago has it had such an eventful year that affected the life of our College as a whole. Conscription, war declaration, and college defense preparations domi- nated the headlines throughout the term giving us a taste of the grim reality and sacrifice that is war. The staff, under the dire tii)n of Mr. S. L. Wilson, Miss Pearl Mason and Miss Ethel Shaw, Faculty Advisers, attempted to l ring accurate and inter- esting accounts of the student reaction toward the many governmental emer- gency measures, always keeping in mind the motto of the College paper, The Reflection of Student Opinion. In addition to the regular work of reporting school events, the Maroon and Gold inaugurated a new branch, the Men in Service Department. It was the duty of this department to keep in touch with our B. S. T. C. students now in the service of their country. Their letters were published and a copy of each issue sent to them. This closing year finds the student body and school newspaper unified. We have heard the call to action and have not been found wanting. MAROON AND GOLD SentPil. Lpft to Uiglit — riuiliiif (inrey.

This organization meets once each week at an informal meeting and discusses poems of both the past and present. During the year the members devote at least one program to each of the various types of poetry. The playing of the record, The White Cliffs of Dover, proved to be one of the most outstanding programs of the year. Other poems of interest have dealt with the Chinese — their way of living and working. The aim of the Poetry Club is to encourage the appreciation of poetry by giving the students the opportunity to listen to it. The motto of the club is To have great poets, we must have great audiences. POETRY CLUB Seated. Left to Right — Julia Welliver, Helen Tarengowsliy, Helen Kotcli. Helen Martin. Nun Sidari.

This record includes playing for dramatic ])erformances, banquets in the dining-room. May Day, and ap])earances at community events in Bloomsburg. It has |)layed several times at the l)an(|uet of the Philadelphia Alumni, held every year at the Bellevue-Stratford in I ' iiiladelphia. This year the orchestra has been less active than usual, because of the decrease in membership. However, rehearsals have been held regularly, and the orchestra was aide to respond when called upon to make its contri- Inition. Bv providing one more outlet for those who are interested in music, it has filled its small part in maintaining the morale of the nation in diffi- cult limes.

If even for a moment you become young again by your memories we shall feel that our efforts were not in vain in trying to make our Obiter a pictorial diary of what went on before the Class of 42 liowed out. OBITER Mkkhill Dkitisich Business Manager Most people say that money makes the world go round, but we found that mon- ey made the Obiter of ' 42 go to press. Our job was to see that financial sup- port was given in order to thus make our yearbook editorially successful. Every- one on the Business Staff did his part to help willingly and faithfully, as did the seniors, campus organizations, subscrib- ers, and advertisers. We wish to thank all of them. We hope that you enjoy our liook and that in years to come you find it a source of pleasant memories of what went on while the Class of ' 42 held sway. 107 Seated, Left to Itiylit— Jiiiie ItraiiihlH.

A Reams Since our entr into the war witli the Axis Powers, countless ques- tions have arisen as to just how our nation would face wartime infla- tion and post-war depression. Controversial discussions on such topics are apt to take place, and so the Public Affairs Forum meets for the purpose of creating a better understanding of important news events. The forum had during the vear an extensive program of weekly meetings designed to bring to its members, through informal dis- cussion and debate, a clearer interpretation of our daily headlines and current events. With Miss Moore, the club conducted programs in assembly dur- ing the year similar to the Town Hall Meetings of the Air. The pur- pose of these meetings was to bring about greater unity and to strengthen the morale of our people. Activities of this nature liave been found to be beneficial to the entire student bodv as well as to the indixidual. 108 Seated. Left to RiKlit — Thomas Cannard. Sara Jean Eastiiian.

This is accomplished under the sponsorship of Dr. Kimber Kuster. During the year the club had varied programs that were very interesting. Several films were shown including ' ' The Living Cell and ■ Termites. A number of field trips were taken on the campus and in the surrounding community. Members of the club gave many interesting reports. Dr. Kuster led the discussions. At one meeting Dr. Russell gave a very interest- ing report on rubber and its relation to the present world condition. At the last meeting of the first semester Fred Dent gave an exhibition of hypnotism.

The year opened with its traditional service in the college chapel to welcome all freshmen. Reverend Wolf, pastor of the Lutheran Church of Bloomsburg, was the speaker. Following his inspiring service, tea was served in the lohh) . The Student Christian Associa- tion did its best to make the newcomers feel a part of the college community. As representatives Dora Taylor, Harold Miller and Stella Wil- liams attended the Eagles Mere Middle Atlantic Conference during the week of June 8-1.5. 1941. These members brought back many new ideas which helped to make the vear successful. The Student Christian Association celebrated the yuletide season with a caroling party which afforded much pleasure to all partici- pating. The association did its part in welfare work. They gave a gen- erous contribution to the Red Cross. Singing has been an outstanding feature of this year ' s program. Each Sunday following dinner, the Student Christian Association conducted a song service in the lobby for the benefit of the college student body. The interest and co-operation shown during the year proved the merging of the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. was a success. This club has its place in the memories of all its members. It seeks to attain spiritual values through Christian fellowship and social activities in college life. The new policy started last year of enjoying a social evening once a month has proved an effective means of promoting fellowship among the Student Christian Association. This organization was started three years ago and has expanded steadily. Its social activities have gone far to promote its popularity among the students. The sending of individual club members to student conferences has given the club some interesting slants on other school group activities. This year ' s officers have shown splendid co-operation and have fulfilled their executive positions willingly and efficiently. 113 First K.. . l.vH to Kiulit— Dora Ts.vl.ir. Aletfl Stil -s.

Each member works on her honor and gives as much time and service as she feels she can afford. The club meets once a month, and it is at that time that each member reports the number of hours she has worked, which, in most cases, far exceeds the number required for extra-curricular credit. During the first semester of the present year, the club rendered fifteen hours of service to the Bloomsburg Hospital reading to children and eighteen hours of service to the Girl Scouts in office work. Thirty infants ' garments and three sweaters were made for the Red Cross. Six scrap books were also completed and given to the local hospital for entertaining children and other patients. The group co-operated with the Bundles for Blue Jackets Committee in sponsoring a concert and col- lecting clothes to be sent wherever they are most needed. However, the largest project was the planning, purchasing, packing, and distributing of thirty- four Christmas baskets to needy families in the community. This project was financed by the Elks Club of Bloomsburg and the Salvation Army. The work for the semester ended with a campaign to save electricity on the college campus. Through this organization, the girls make interesting contacts with local social service agencies as well as with people of the community. The club has an executive council, consisting of the sponsor, the president, the secretary, and three members of the organization, which acts on a project before it is presented to the group. 114 Seated, Left to Right — Walter Molir, Ida Jane Sliipe.

The Council also serves to promote educational and social activities on an inter-fraternity basis. The Council is composed of the counselor, the president, and two representatives of each fraternity. Each officer of the Council represents a different fraternity, and these offices rotate from one fraternity to the other from year to year. This year, the Council sponsored the annual inter-fraternity social evening on March 7. This event, for the past three years, has taken the place of the inter-fraternity ball of previous years in an effort to provide a more enjoyable affair for every fraternity mem- ber. Each member was allowed to bring one guest. The program featured dancing, games, and refreshments.

Business Educa- tion students with superior scholastic rating are eligible for mem- bership in the fraternity. Its aims are to encourage, promote, extend, and create interest and scholarship in business education; to encourage and foster high ethical standards; and to teach the ideal of service as the basis of all worthy enterprise. The fraternity each year, co-operating with the Business Educa- tion Club, sponsors the Pennsylvania Commercial contest. The win- ners of this contest receive their prizes from the fraternity at the annual spring banquet. The group has also published the Pop PI OMEGA PI magazine. However this year, in view of the world conditions and rising costs, the members have voted to eliminate the magazine from its list of projects. The program connnittee. led by Elwood Beaver, worked hard to place the programs on a high educational plane. Dora Taylor, Irving Gottlieb, and Mr. Rygiel worked with him. The main topic discussed throughout the year was the status of education, particularly business education, in the post-war period in which the students of today will be teaching. More stress w as laid on the fraternity ' s aims. Nine members were initiated this year, five of whom were voted in as sophomores last spring. The total membership of Alpha Delta 116 Chapter at the end of tliis school year is approximately one hun- dred fifty. Officers for 1941-42 are as follows: President, Roberta Hastie; Vice President, William Smith; Secretary, Aleta Stiles; Treasurer, Burnis Fellman: Historian, Erma Wolfgang. Miss Murphy and Mr. Forney are co-sponsors. In addition to those working on the program committee the fol- lowing members have charge of fraternity activities: Membership Committee — Claire Sirrocco, Chairman, Hazel Chappell and Frank Taylor; Nominating Committee — Ruth Snyder, Chairman, Joanna Fice, and John Hubiak: Social Conmiittee — James Davies, Chairman, Harriet Love.

A National Honor Society in Education, the fraternity is immediately concerned with KAPPA DELTA PI establishing and promoting high intellectual, scholastic, and social standards. It maintains a high degree of professional fellowship among its members, honors achievement in educational work; it has accelerated professional growth. Membership in the fraternitv is extended to those junior and senior men and women who rank in the upper quartile of their classes, and who. at the same time, display commendable personal qualities and worthy educational ideals. During the first semester, the fraternitv activities consisted chiefly of amending our constitution, with special reference to the National Council. 118 On February 23. 24, and 25, our counselor. Dr. Maupin, repre- sented our chapter at the National ( ' on ention of Kappa Delta Pi, held in San Francisco, California. Miss Rachel Turner, a former Bloomsliurg faculty member, and charter member of Ganuna Beta, this year presented the fraternity with the complete history of the national organization, a most valu- able contribution to our fast-growing liluary. Along with this, Dr. Maupin presented the fraternity with a scrap book to be used for the collection of photographs and letters of outstanding educators, particularly those who are mendiers of the Laureate Chapter. Those members of the fraternity who will be graduated this year, extend sincere good wishes to the undergraduate members who will carry on actively for Ganuna Beta. .SUtiug, Lett tu Riflit— Miss Eciuii llHzeii, Dr. H.

The purpose of the fraternity is to increase professional interest in geography, to strengthen student and professional training, to ad- vance the professional status of geography as a cultural and practical subject for study, and to administer a loan fund for fraternity mem- bers who wish to study further in the field of geography. At the present time, there are more than fifteen hundred members in the national organization. This year three members were initiated into the fraternity: Loren Collins, Andrew Magill. and Lawrence Doster. Dr. H. R. Russell, the faculty adviser, has the distinction of being National President of Gamma Theta Upsilon. GAMMA THETA UPSILON A candidate for membership in this organization must not only be preparing for teaching in the geographic field, but must also show his ability to associate geography with present day world events. The first major activity of the school year took place in Novem- ber when Gamma Theta Upsilon members presented a series of dis- cussions before the International Relations Group of the American Association of University Women of Bloomsburg on the geographic basis of the present conflict. In January, alumni members from the surrounding communities were present at the monthly meeting when the formal initiation was given to the new members. 120 Gamma Thcta Upsilon, co-opeialing with the other fraternities on the campus, made the annual Inter-Fraternity Social Evening a success. The last meeting of the year was held in the form of a banquet to which all active and alumni members of Delta Chapter were invited. OFFICERS President ..... Vice PresideiU - . . . .

The local chapter, Alpha Omicron, is the oldest established chajjler of any fraternity on the campus. The school year, 1941-1912. proved to be a very busy and inter- esting one for the fraternity. The first event of the season was a reception and tea for the Carolina Players. Several members of the faculty and the Dramatic Club aided the fraternity in making this reception a success. This dramatic group, the Carolina Players, gave an excellent performance in presenting The House of Connelly for the college students and the townspeople during October. The fraternity initiated new members, conducted regular meet- ings, and held several parties at the Frat House — the name given ALPHA PSI OMEGA to Miss Johnston ' s apartment. One of the customs of the fraternity is to hold a Christmas Party in the Frat House. This year, as always, it was one of the high-lights of the season ' s activities. The play. George Washington Slept Here, was sponsored by the fraternity and was presented with the aid of the Dramatic Club on the evening of January 30. A large audience of townspeople and college students enjoyed the play. Several high schools asked questions concerning the Play Tourna- ment and stated that they would like the fraternity to continue this event. Because of the fact that the tournament has always been a success, the members of the fraternity decided to continue to sponsor the annual Play Tournament, which is usually held in the Spring. Y ' - ' 122 At the annual meeting of tlie chapters of the Alpha Psi Omega, Alpha Omicron received a cup for having present the largest cast traveling the greatest distance. Alpha Omicron was represented by its director, Miss Alice John- ston, at the meeting of the National Cast of Alpha Psi Omega. This meeting is held every five years to discuss the work and the policies of the fraternity. With its growing activities Alpha Psi Omega is playing an in- creasingly important role in the College.

Since that time, the fraternity has won for itself a high place among under-graduate professional education organizations on the campus. The basic principles of Phi Sigma Pi are three. The first of these is Knowledge. Others may get along on a small fund of knowledge, but the teacher must accumulate a vast amount, not only for his pupils sake, but for his own as well. Knowledge is the first great essential of success. The second principle is Training. Members of Phi Sigma Pi have acquired the power and the knowledge to teach their fellow men the finest and best things which the race has achieved in all the experiences of the past centuries. The third principle is that of Fellowship. It is an end in education, as well as one of the virtues of our fraternity, for education is narrow and unethical unless it includes that fellowship through which self-improvement goes out PHI SIGMA PI to others. Based on these three principles. Phi Sigma Pi requires outstanding qualities of leadership in its members, both in the pro- fessional and social life on the campus. At the first regular meeting of the year, in October, the fraternity was given an interesting address by Mr. Wilbur J. Abell. the most recent addition to our faculty. In November, the following were initiated as new members of the fraternity: James Davies. Francis Thomas, Winton Laubach. Raymond Algatt. Joseph Gillespie, George Smith, and Paul Rowlands. In January, following the close of the first semester, Mrs. North again proved that she makes the best oyster stew and hot rolls in the region, when the group was enter- tained at the home of Dr. North. As an extra treat that night Mr. Joseph R. Bailer gave an interesting address on his experiences in Turkey. In March, the Phi Sigs held their amuial theater ])arty. to which the Auxilliary was invited. Always ready to co-operate. Phi 124 Sigma Pi was very much on hand at the annual Inter-Fraternity Dance which was held in March. Always the high-light of our social activities, the Annual Found- er ' s Day Banquet was held in May. Following a delicious dinner, the boys were all ready to look l)aik with fond memories on a happy, successful vear and forwaid to a new and better one.

Head Coach George Buchheit and his aides, Assistant Coach Frank Kostos and Student Coach Bob Martin, fielded an eleven that packed plenty of weight but lacked experience. Several promising freshmen, possessing a record of past high school experience, gained first-string berths on the Husky unit. Three senior members of the small twenty-one man squad, John Shlanta, Len Herr, and Stan Schuyler, received offers from several National Professional League clubs for tryouts. Inaugurating their 1941 season the Huskies were pinned via a 26-0 verdict by Mansfield. In the first night football game in the history of the college, the B. S. T. C. gridsters lost a 27-0 decision to the powerful Lock Haven club on the Bloomsburg Athletic Field. Leaving for Shippensburg the following week, the Maroon and Gold footballers were soundly trounced by a formidable outfit. 42-0.

Two of the defeats were by one-goal margins. In his three years as coach of the soccer team. Wisher has done a splendid job. Many of the boys on the three clubs had never previously played soccer, but under the direction of Wisher the inexperienced lads learned fast. Next season the college W ' ill be without him, and to find a mentor as good as ' Pete will be no easy task. Wisher has joined the United States Navy. Because of the two weeks delay in the beginning of school, the Huskies entered the West Chester game with less than a week of practice. Piling up a big early lead the Purple and Gold clad team won the game. 4-2. Down 4-0 in the last period, the Huskies showed plenty of fight by scoring twice with Hartman, a newcomer to the varsity, and Niles, a cross country runner, doing the booting. West Chester played a strong schedule last year including games with Penn. Duke, and I rsinus. The East Stroudsburg fracas was the worst of the year so far as the Huskies were concerned. The big rugged Red team from the Poconos. which also played a strong schedule, opened fast with three goals in the first period and the same number at the finish with a score sandwiched in between to win, 7-0. SOCCER Leading until the last few minutes of play, the hooters were robbed of their first victory when Lock Haven ' s Bald Eagles came through with a 3-2 win. The first half resulted in a scoreless kicking duel with both teams taking the offense at various times. Wagner and Hendricks booted goals for the Huskies to open the third period, and Kosteman kicked one for the Bald Eagles. Then the Havenites added two in the last period to clinch the verdict. At Elizabethtiiwn the Huskies came through with their first ictory by scoring a grand slam 4-2 decision. Patterson and Wagner switched their center halfback and center positions and apparently the change paid dividends. Patterson kicked two goals in the first period, one a penalty kick. Collins Wanich. a freshman, and Patter- son added goals in the last quarter. Apparently used to the winning ways. Wisher ' s boys opened the homecoming season by downing Ithaca College, 3-1. Patterson again led the scoring parade, kicking goals in the first and second quarter. The final game at Lock Haven was another one-goal loss for the Maroon and Gold soccermen. Taking the field only three hours after leaving Bloomsburg. the Huskies took the lead on Wagner ' s long boot in the first quarter. The Bald Eagles came back and tied it up, took the lead in the second period, and kept it to win, 2-L 130 Although not included as an official contest, the scrimmage at State College was one of the highlights of the season, the Lions winning, 2-1. Penn State had gone sixty- five games without a loss until the defeat by Army late last fall. Patterson scored for the Huskies. Patterson led the team in scoring by booting five goals over the six-game schedule. Hartnian and Wagner were tied for second, each having counted twice. C. Wanich, Hendricks, and Niles each scored once. Yeany headed the assist column. THE 1941 RECORD B. S. T. C.

When the smoke cleared away at the end of a hard-fought campaign Bloom ' s courtmen came out fourth in the race for the mythical basketball championship among the state teachers colleges. Because many of the western teams do not pla the eastern colleges, the standings can onlv be figured upon a percentage basis, and it is for this reason that a crown won by any teachers college is purely mythical. Lanky Joe Chesney. who is rapidh de elo]iiug into a high scoring center, led the 1942 edition of the HuskN baskeleers in scoring. He tallied forty-five field goals and nineteen one-pointers for a mark of one hundred nine. Runner-up in the point total was Slim Herr. veteran senior forward. During the season. Herr swished the net forty-six times from the field and bagged thirteen fouls for a total of one hundred five points. Not loo far behind him comes his roomie. W ally alinchus. who whipped the cords for forty field goals and nineteen fouls for ninety-nine points. A great deal of credit is due to the other varsity men, Whitey Maslowsky. Bernie Pufnak, Tony Valente, and Frank Valente, who helped keep the Huskies in the running. There will be quite a marked change in the personnel of next ear s team. Two seniors, Slim Herr and Frank Valente, will lie lost through graduation. The other sharp-shooting forward, Wally Walinchus, will |irobalil be pla ing basketliall for I ' ncle Sam next year. Besides being a top-notch ])layer Wally was also a good team 132 man and he took over Bill Keichusky ' s job of holding the team together when the go- ing got tough. When Coach Buchheit issued the 1942 ' cair ' twent -two stalwarts including nine members of last year ' s squad reported as candidates. Four of the first five on last year ' s squad returned, Bill Kerchusky being the only one whose college basketball had ended because of graduation. In their opener against the Alunnii, the Huskies got off to a good start and swamped the grads to the tune of 50-20, Walinchus headed the scoring parade with fourteen points. In their first official game the Husky floormen downed the Bald Eagles of Lock Haven, 35-33. Bloomsliurg then put in a bid for state recognition in subduing a highly touted Millersville band 52-48. The next victim of the Husky attack were the Cumberland Valley boys from Shippensburg who tasted defeat by a 44-32 score. The Huskies then enrolled their fourth straight conference success of the season against the Mansfield teachers by a 58-46 score. The Cumberland Valley boys from Shippensburg were again the victims of the sharpshooting Huskies who took them over the hurdles by a 45-32 score. Then the B. S. T. C. winning streak of five conference games came to a halt as they were overshadowed by Millersville, 63-59. In the next game against Lock Haven the Huskies again found themselves and turned in their sixth mythical teachers college triumph, 41-37. In the best game that has ever been played in the local g m the B. S. T. C. courtnien lost a heartbreaker to the East Stroud quintet that featured the mighty Pistol Pete Pasko. The result of the game was not certain until the final bell which found Stroudsburg on top by a 48-47 score. The next day after the hard fought Stroud game the Huskies traveled to the northern part of the state and were defeated 51-43 by a much improved Mansfield quintet. The next week the B. S. T. C. cagers traveled to East Stroud and got their worst trimming in three years by a 55-30 score. In the final game the Huskies played their first game in the new gym and defeated West Chester 44-40 to the delight of a crowd of more than 1,000 who turned out for the opening of the new .$300,000 gym.

Although the Husky Pups did not go undefeated this season as they did in the 1940 and 1941 seasons they, nevertheless, had a successful year. Carlisle, Solack, Washvilla, Bomboy, and Shearer were the big five who bore the brunt of the attack. Ed Solack. the acting captain, was the only senior on the team, and he did a mighty good job for his first year of competitive basketball. Much credit is also due to Bill Swinesburg. Harry Reitz, Phil Yeany, Jim Lavelle, Elwood Wagner, Francis Brennan, Jim Zweizig, Ed Deleski, Mario Conte, and Lester Conner, a group of boys who put a lot of time and energy in practice.

S. T. C. baseball nine, usually the possessor of one of the seasons best won-lost records, fell far below par this season when Maroon and Gold diamondmen were victorious in only three games while being beaten in seven. The Bloomsbiirg tossers got off to a bad start as they lost to a superior Stroudsbnrg club 16-1 in the seasons opener. The Huskies following this setback were the victims of four other beatings before they rallied to win their first one of the year in subduing Kutztown 7-2. A win over Mans- field brought the winning streak to two straight but it was short-lived, for the Huskies were beaten by the Danville Hospital and Millersville before they again entered the win column with Lock Haven the victim. Walter Maslowsky, southpaw Hugh Niles, and Bill Wanick did the majority of llie work on the mound for the B. S. T. C. nine all season. The jayvee baseball unit split a two game .series with the Bucknell Junior College aggregation, losing the first 14-4 but taking the last game 4-0. The 1942 schedule promises to be one of the toughest in many years and with a goodly number of the men back the Huskies should return to their usual winning ways.

The scheduled meet with Lock Haven was cancelled by the Bald Eagles during the season. In all three engagements, the Huskies were outstanding in the distance runs, sprints, weights, hurdles, and ja elin events. The most sweeping B. .S. T. C. success was the routing of Shi|)pensburg by the Huskies 89-37. Under the capable direction of Coach Buchheit the Huskies turned out some of the best men to ever don the Maroon and Gold cinder attire. TRACK Besides their accomplishments in dual meets, the Huskies lilazed their way to further laurels and glory by winning noteworthy places in the annual Penn Relays, which each year draw the finest collection of track stars in the country.
