In (lc(Iicatini this 11)44 Oljilcr to all the men and women of I loomsl)uri who are servini in the armed forees, we, the elass of 11)44, think in the terms (jf Winston Chureh- ill when he said, Never was there a time w hen so many owed so mueh to so few. However, sinee these wortls were sjxjk- en, the so lew has i rown into a i ii antie imher amon - whom are many sons and daughters of this eollei e. r )lIowini the deelaration of Aar, the ranks of the eollei e slow ly started to heeome (lei)let- ed. The ])roeess was at tirst a slow one; a person here, a jKTson there. (Iradually the tempo in- ereased. Women, too, were en- listini in the newly ereated wo- en ' s branehes ot the serviee. T ! Aluinni, undcrclasj ' ' men, all were addini ' their names to t li e honor roll. The elass of 1944, alone, has more than ninety i)ereent of its male mem- bers in the serviee. It is the desire of the mem- bers of this war-lime i radnaling class to e i)ress their admiration not only for their fellow-elass- mates bnt for all those who have gone from this college to fight for the freedoms and opportuni- ties which we in America are privileged to enjoy. :r - ' iyiie ae A Message for the Class of 1911: Tlie cliallenges of college life in wartime have been met by you as by no other class. We salute your ability to adjust vour lives to new and hitherto untlreamed of ituatit)ns. May the adapt;d)i!ity displayetl during your college years be a characteristic ot your future activities: e er mindful that we who worked with you witiiin tlioe i ied wall- shall continue to be interested in ()ur |)rngress.

President. 10 Greetings to the Class of Decision, 1944 Prohaljly no other class in the history of this old institution has been confronted with so many antl such peculiar needs for decision. You decided to enter college under adverse conditions; you decided to remain in college while many of those who entered college with you succumbed to the tem])tations of high wages; you decided to carry on when your country called your men for military duty; you decided to continue in college despite the adversities arising from changes in our curriculums and programs, and those many other changes in your normal ways of living produced by rationing. How wisely you have decided, only time can tell. We, however, believe that the philosophy underlying your decisions has been sound, and, gener- ally speaking, your decisions will be highly productive in the future. You are to be congratulated.

The training provides ade- quate preparation in liusiness knowledge and skills as well as teaching theory and practice. A student taking tliis curricuhim receives his B.S. degree in Education with the opportunity to secure college certifica- tion ill ihe following subjects: Bookkeeping and Accounting, Business Writing. Business Eiigli li, Commercial and Eco- nomic Geography, Commercial Law, Commercial Mathe- matics, Economics, Junior Business Training, Office Practice, Salesmanship, Shortliand, and Typewriting. Tliis department is doing splendid work in preparing stu- dents loi all types of Commercial Education. 13 Education Miss II;izen, .Mr. Fislier. Mr. Forin-y. Mr. D;iiliT, Dr. Kelir Students at B. S. T. C. are nut trained solely in the fields they select. Through courses in orientation, guidance, psychology, philosophy, and teaching tech- niques, eath curriculum is enriched to hroaden the out- look and knowledge of the student. Actual clio()l iluations are brought to the attention ol the stutlents who can then experience some of the problems of teachers. The Teacher Training Department al o carries on a placement service headed by Mr. Bailer in an effort to place graduates in desirable positions. 14 Seated. Left tc. UiRht— Miss Mettler.

Mr. Wiisii.T, Mr. Slicirtt ' ss Science and Mathematics Scieiue and Mathematics so closely complement each other that many secondary students choose them as their two major fields. These departments are kept extremely busy giving courses for the many different types of students on the campus. Different subjects are conducted for the civilian students, the Navy, and the student nurses. Excellent instruction in Mathematics is offered by Miss Ranson and in Science by Mr. Shortess. Mr. Wag- ner, and Dr. Kuster, so important in this mechanized world. 17 Jliss Rich. Dr. MuiipiM, Mr. Reams, Dr. Rnsscl c DOCl al btudies and Cjeography Geography and Social Studies may l)e chosen ])y Secondary Students as two of their fields for certifica- tion. These courses are closely related and serve the prospective teacher in giving a rich background of iniurniation whicli he may use in interpreting mans rela- tion to his environment. Students receiving certification in the Social Studies fiekl will play a great part in tlic iii truction of our future citizens. In this way Bloomsl)urg becomes an im|)ortant cog in the Machine of Democracy. 18 Miss M,.,,rc. .Miss Pinilii, Mus IC The Music Deparlnifiii iiHims holh individual and gniup instruction in lliis cultutai licld.

These courses are under the most able directiou of Miss Harriet Moore. Indisidual lessons in voice and vi(din are expertly taught hy Miss Elizaheth Pauling. The department gives students the opportunity of continuing and developing their musical training to a liigh degree. 19 Miss Slettlcr, Jriss renn KcsKient iSiirse and Dietitian Al a lime when health and t(ip j)h si(al condition are so vital, immediate care offered 1) Miss Mettler. the resident inirse. is one of the reasons fcjr the general good health of the -tiident iiodx.

Ki ' llcr The stud;Mits of the secondary and elenientar curriculums are offered courses in the history and appreciation of art. The elementary field also in- cludes courses which embody the six fundamental principles of art as applied to every da living. The superiority of the art department may be directly attril)uted to Professor Kellers untiring guidance of his art cl asses. He has endeavored to give his students practice in drawing, lettering, poster making, creative designing, and the use of color. Each course aims to develop a keen sense of judgment and appreciation of good design in clothes and home dei; rations. 21 S.iil.-.l. I. Ill to lliulil Mrs. TliiMii.-iB. Miss V.iii S.I..VIIC-.

Nels. 5Ir. l;yf:ii.l In Appreciation The class of 194 1 owe to their four class advisers many thanks for the help that each has given in guiding us through our college career. As fresh- man class adviser, Mr. Bailer saw to it that we as a class started out on the right foot and helped in making a success of the Freshman Hop. We were guided through our sophomore yfar with the hel|) of Mr. Rygiel. That year was climaxed with tiie Sophomore Cotillon. Dr. Nelson liad the task of directing us through a very transitidual junior vear. In September, 1943, Mr. Fenstemaker took over the advising job of what must ha e proved to be very discouraging at times. However, he served us faith! ullv througli all the adjustments that anv war graduating class must make. 26 s oenior Cl ass OFFICERS Mary Louise Madl Anne Louise Shortess Anita E. Behler - Margaret E. Latsha - President t ice President - Secretary Treasurer As it was said at the Senior Ranquet, tliis is a most unusual graduating class. Perliaps that is the ihouf ht oi all classes; however, we do have some claims to distinction. From .S( ' i)teml)er, 1940, to May. 1944, probably more changes have taken place at Bloomsburg than through all its long years of history. When before lias there ever been a class with eight separate gradu- ations? Or a class tliat lias lost over ninety per cent of its men? Another tradition breaker was tlie installation of a cafeteria. May Day, long an out- standing spring feature has been discontinued until after the war. The greatest change of all was the Navy program that has been Bloomsburg ' s most important aid to the war program. All these changes have accounted ior no dull moments. As a whole, our four years have been good ones, ones to rememl)er forever. 27 Jean V. Ackerman Ackie Hamliure Busiiies Ed.

For the first time, uniformed men made their appearance on the campus in Julv of that year when forty Army andcNavy Aviation Cadets received Preflight Training. Following this. Bloonisburg was designat- ed as a Navv Aviation Center in September. 1942. On November 15, 1942, the college was selected as one of the five institutions in the country — the others, Northwe tern. Purdue. Georgia. and Texas Christian University — as a Naval Flight Instruction School in co-operation with the Bloonisburg Airport. This program continued for one year. itli a complement of one hundred Cadets, the Navy -5 Program was reinstated August. 1943. In spring of 1943, certain colleges and universities were notified that thev were eligible for inspection for the Navy -12 or Officer Candi- date Program. After inspection and approval, a contract was nego- tiated with the Na y Department for a complement ot 17.5 officer candi- dates who attend college for two or more years. Nine institutions were appro ed in Penn vl ania. iif hich Bloonisburg was the only teachers college. Bloonisburg State Teachers College is proud to .-erve her country in the training of naval officers for World ar II. 50 V-5 Staff Lt. G. p. Steely Lt. J. J. Boyd [ r. J. F. McGovERN Lt. (jg) J. E.

Known as War Training Schools and operating under the joint su- pervision of the Civil Aeronautics Authority and the Navy these colleges ha e pre|)ared thousands of cadets for their next phase of training leading ultimateh to their wings of gold and a connnission as Ensign in the Naval Reserve. After twelve weeks of training at a llighl pre- paratory school, the cadets are transferred to a War Training School, suiii as Bloomshurg. to begin their actual flight training. Their time is divided between ground school and flight. The ground school consists of navigation, recognition, aerology, civil air regulations, radio communications, aircraft engines, and physical training. Minimum flight time is twenty-one hours dual, and fourteen hours solo. Those satisfactorily completing both ground school and flight are transferred after eight to twelve weeks to Preflight Schools. At the Preflight Schools physical fitness is stressed and the cadets are in fighting trim before moving on to the Navy ' s Primary Training bases for further flight training. From Primary to Interme- diate is their next step and on completion of the Intermediate course, the cadet is commissioned and designated a Naval Aviator. Bloomsburg State Teachers College, its faculty, and others associated with the War Training Pro- gram should justly feel proud of their efforts toward complete and final victory.

Sometime later, the freshmen class made their first puijlic appearance, when they exhii)ited their talents before the college faculty and students during a chajjcl program. Since that time many new students have Ijecome members of the class. Some of these people joined the group in November, followed I)y many others in March. In spite of this, the Freshmen have become a united group striving to uphold the standards which are Bloomsburg ' s.

The purpose of this organi- zation is to create Iietter co-o|)eration among the studetits. facuhy and administration. The College Council carries out the executive duties of the Com- munity Government Association. It was the problem of the Council to iron out the differences and make adjustments between all the different groups found on our campus this year. A new addition to the ( ouncil was a body of five V-12 ' s chosen to represent their group. The Connnunit) Government Association was sorry to lose Edward Manley as its President, when he graduated in January. Then followed the election of a new President with the speeches and rivalry of a political campaign, with the final election of Julian Zinzarella as President. On March 2o and 29 a delegation from Comnnmity Government Association attended the convention of the National Eastern Asso- ciation of Pre-Professional Training uhirh was iield at the Commo- dore Hotel in New York Citv. 67 -  0yv,56V) ' ti First Kow.

The Governing Board of the Association consists of a president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer, with four representatives from the senior class, three from the junior and sophomore classes, and two from the fresliman class. Dr. Kehr and Miss Rich act as advisers of the Governing Board. The girls have informal get-togethers during the year in the form of floor parties. Skits, readings, singing, and refreshments comprise the entertainment ' of these parties. At Christmas, the girls in the dt)rmitory divided into groups of four. Each group was given the name of a boy or girl for whom they were to buy a gift. The names of the children were secured from the Bloomsburg chapter of the Red Cross. For the first time this jear the girls had the use of the Club Rooms in which they could sponsor card ]jarties, hold lueetings, have enter- tainment, or study. A store was also conducted in these rooms with the treasurer and finance committee in charge. Last, Init not least, in April the dormitory girls and day girls held their annnal He-She party. At this party the Governing Board members for f944-iy4.5 were introduced. First Kuw, I. I ' ll t.i Kii lit 1 ' . Fuller. .1. .Vekeniirili. Second Row — E. Kiti-tli, 1 CI II. Devitis. Faust.

The local chapter. Alpha Omi- cron. is the oldest established chapter of any fraternity on the campus. The school year. 1943-1944. proved to be a very busy and inter- esting year. The fraternity initiated several new members, conducted regular meetings, and held the Christmas party at the ' ' Frat House — the name given to Miss Johnston ' s apartment. This vear we welcomed some members of the Navy V-12 unit into our chapter. These men had been members of Alpha Psi Omega at the colleges which they had formerly attended. The play. Junior Miss. was sponsored In the fraternitx and was presented on February 12 with the aid of the Dramatic Club. To help with the promotion of war bond sales, the fraternity presented many one-act plays. With its many wartime activties and its growing importance in morale work, Alpha Psi Omega is playing a very important role in the activities of the College. 76 FirKt r.OW, l.cfl I..

The Alpha Delta Chapter consists of members of the Department of Business Education who ha e attained superior scholastic ratings. Its aims are to encourage, promote, extend, and create interest and scholarship in commerce; to encourage and foster high ethical standards; and to teach the ideal of service as the basis of all worthy enterprise. 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. The programs which were presented at the regular monthh meetings were both entertain- ing and educational. 77 Sfci.ml lluu Mr. lleliri;;. S. M;i . iii ' .:irell;i, .. rtc.ss. il. .1. , 11. KlITl l:.

Reams On April 26, 1930. [he Iota chapter of Phi Sigma Pi was installed on our tampus. It is the only male fraternity, and since its installa- tion it has been one of the most active bodies in our college com- munity. The three basic principles of Phi Sigma Pi are Knowledge, Train- ing, and Fellowship. Based on these three principles. Phi Sigma Pi requires outstanding qualities of leadership in its members, both in the professional and social life on the campus. At the beginning of our 1943-1944 school year, our fraternity functioned with a much smaller membership than usual. This was due to the fact that many of our fellow members had entered the armed service of our country. But those who remained kept the spirit of Phi Sigma Pi and never gave it a chance to die. In January. 1944. when formal initiations were held, ten new members were welcomed into our fraternits. Also a number of Navy V-12 students, who were members of other chapters of Phi Sigma Pi. were invited to our meetings. A number of social meetings and cchic alinnal programs and discussions conlriliutcd to an enjovable and piofitalile year. 78 First Row. Left to Itiulit— M. Stitzel. E. Witiimii, K. Kit ' ht, K.

Just before the Christmas recess the Women ' s Chorus sponsored a Yuletide program. The delightful organ music |)resented by Mr. Howard F.

Two other added highlights of the program were the choral selections by the Men ' s Glee Club composed of Navy V-12 students, and the young soloists from the Reiijaniin Franklin Training School. The Women ' s Chorus offered several luunbers from the cantata. In Bethlehem, by Kountz. Following the Christmas holidays, the Women ' s Chorus studied a gronjj of past favorites which the presented in May. At the concert sponsored by Miss Betty Pauling of the Music Department, the Chorus gave another fine performance.

It is the voice for the students. The staff has a tremendous task this year. It had to present news of interest to civilian students, Navy students, nurses, and the ever- larger number of service men and women. Those peojde whose pictures vou see above are only a small number of the staff. Many of the Navy V-12 students who were on the staff are now at new stations. Some of the civilian students who wrote graduated before the regular spring commencement. And every week some alumni ]iiles letters into Box 284 for the Life With Uncle column. The constantly shifting staff all had one aim in mind — to |nit out a newspaper of interest in current and feature news. Three new columns of particular interest this year were Presenting Personali- ties, Around the Campus. and Aunt Penelope. From September until June the Maroon and Gold staff kept the presses rolling with eighteen issues of college news. 87 -f- ' •- ' ' rw «5-f-f ' «r k Hft tlvletle • Fir l Kciu. Lift t.. Kiuht M. E.

Members of llie rliil were hostesses to high school girls from the college service area. Parties were held in the new centennial gym- nasium which included games and swimming from seven to ten p. m. The following schools were included: MilKille. Catawissa, Scott Township, Danville, Orange ille. Benton. MifHinville, Nescopeck, Berwick, and Center and Greenwood. The cluli also has the conces- sion stand at the basketball games. In the spring, the B Club climaxed their activities for the year with a camping trip and Play Day. 90 Women ' s Sports A well rdundcd program of women ' s sports has Ijeen followed this year. How- ever, with tlie school term going round the calendar, there has been no definite starting or stopping spot for the different sport activities. Instead, one sport grad- ually gave way to another. During the sunnner montii- and early fall, the tennis courts were useil continu- ally. An archerv range was set uj) and used by some ot tiie moie talented mem- bers. With fall approaching, soccer and hockey were played daily on the athletic field. Throughout the winter, the Cen- tenial Gvnniasium became tiie s|)orts center. There every Monday and Thurs- day evenings, the Ijuilding was open to the college women. Under the direction of Miss Lucy McCammon, wilh the assist- ance of the B Club, louinamenls of badminton. shufTleboard. and (able leiniis were waged. Basketball, volley ball, and cage i)all were regular activities. As usual, the innning pool proved to be one of the favorite spots of recreation. The ruljjjer life boat and the rope net used by the Navy added to the exciting possibilities of exi)loring the pool more thoroughly. With the arrival of sjjring, the scene changed to the out-of-doors. Here, base- ball held full sway. And so on to tennis, and the cycle repeats itself. 91 FootLall Blooiiislmrg Would ha t ' heeii represented on the gridiron b a team of chanipionship caliber if the Huskies had lieen able to secure opposition. B. S. T. C. like the majority of the colleges, suspended football for the duration, but when the Navy showed their eagerness to continue with the sport e ervthing possible was done to secure a schedule for the trainees but to no axail. The V-12 s were gi en their onh o|iportunitN to show their wares at the annual Hcuiiecoming. It was the outstanding feature of the dav and the Navy trainees obliged bv staging as good an exhibition of the gridiron sport as was e er staged on a Homecoming Day when the Reds, coached b Chief Specialist Jack Llewellyn, worked a third-period thirty-yard touchdown pass to beat the hite. in charge of Lt. Boyd. 6-0. Although the rain fell in torrents during the game, the large crowd stayed until the final whistle of the wide open game. Both sides had good scoring op|)ortunities that failed. The W hites ran into a stone wall on the opponents 6 and the Reds were stopped on the 5-yard line in the second quarter, but their third-period driye, culminated in that thirty-yard touchdown pass, carried them to their 6-0 yictory. 02 First r.cuv.

The 12o-p(Jund slot was defaulted to the Bisons, as a result of ineligibilities, and the Huskies were further handicapped for Dehler was out of action because of broken ribs. That was more than enough for the hosts to win, and thc) did just that, downing the Huskies 22-0. The bright spot of the season was the final match at the Cen- tennial Gymnasium with Bucknell as guests. Bucknell won the first two bouts on falls, but the Huskie stock soared when Mclntyre won on a decision, and Letcher White was victor by a fall. B. S. T. C. then went into the lead. 11-ltt. fdllowing Wellings decision in the 155-pound class. But the Bison was not lo lie denied.

C. was treated to another excellent basketball season when liie wartime Huskies, in charge of Chief Specialist Jack Llewellyn, put on a dis] lay of team work that won eleven wins as against three losses; the third best college record in Pennsylvania. The Navy trainees served notice from the beginning of the season that they had a com])lex against Army competition for they literally lore apart the Armed Forces Induction Station five and the Har- risburg Special Service team on successive Tuesdays. The Maroon and Gold then ran their winning streak to four straight with two wins over Susquehanna University. The Harrisburg Special Service (|uintet, although reinforced with additional collegiate stars, fell victim number five as the Huskies prepared for the invasion of Franklin and Marshall. The Huskies landed and established a beachhead, but F. and M. counter-attacked and won the game with less than a half-minute remaining in play. The 43-42 loss was Bloomsburg ' s first. But the gold uniformed quintet jjounced liack and twice defeated the New Cumberland five which had merged with Harrisburg Special Service in an effort to overcome Chief Llewellyn and his crew. The effort almost paid big dividends for it took Jack Goepfort ' s last half-minute field goal to defeat the Army team in our second en- gagement with them. The Teachers kept pouring it on. winning easily from Lafayette A. S. T. before hitting another snag; a 42-.37 reverse 94. ill IJiickiii ' ll. On tiller (iiil wcrk-iMid lii|). llif Huskies made an even split, u inning at Lafaxottc and losing to Muhlenlierg, one of the outstanding teams in the East. The season did not close, hut it was climaxed In the home game with Bucknell when the Huskies undouhtedly played their best brand of basketball and decisively beat the favored Bison, 54-39. The season officially closed w ith a grand win, our eleventh, over the giant Olmstead Airbase representatives who could not match the Huskies shooting and teamwork. And so the curtain closed on a season that saw Dick Bierly, a hook-shot artist, lead the scoring parade with a grand total of 202 points, and Red Graham winning second scoring honors with his 135 tallies. Captain Jack Goepfort sank the long one for 113 points, while Eddie Vogelsong collected most of his 112 ])oints from the side. lndi idual scoring was sometimes heavy, but the team- work was the outstanding feature of the ' 43- ' 44 B.

The V-.Ss uoii the first .S7-3.3, but the V-12 s more than evened the score b} winning the second meet 38-10. The squad gained experience, but the results were nullified because the V-5 members were unable to make the trip to Lancaster; consequently, F. and M. turned in an impressive win. 5.3-12. 96 At the end of the first trimester it was oinious lliat a track team would oiue again represent B. S. T. C. even though the schedule was still in liie early stages of developnicnl. The track record shows that Coach (I. Ruthheit ' s Huskies have not been defeated in dual competition durinn the last seven years. accumulating a total of twenty-three consecutive wins. This year Bloomsburg will probably send a team [o the Penn Relays at Philadelphia on April 2o-20. H. S. T. C. has consistently made excellent showings against the stilf competition that this relay has to offer. During the past four seasons the Huskies have finished in first position twice and were rumiers-up twice in the college relay which each year draws the finest ((illcitioii of track teams from all parts of the United States. The triangular meet under consideration with Bucknell and Muhlenberg would prove to be a close contest down to the last event, because all three institutions are well supplied with Navy trainees. Other meets are being arranged, an l during the coming season Coach Buchheit and the Huskies will lie seeking their twenty-third straight victory and their eighth coTisecutive undefeated season against dual competition. 97 Track Ph BaseDall The basfljall summary wiiiild have been as eventful as a frost in February if the Navy hadn ' t donned the Maroon and Gold uniform and represented B. S. T. C. on the diamond during the summer. The Navy Pre-Flight. stationed at Bloomsburg, fielded a nine which was studded with All-Stars. Tile team, as coached hy our own Doc Nelson, was noted more for its . I1-Star lineup than it was for its performance as the talent of only a few of the players was centered around baseball. Even so. the Huskies won better than two-thirds id ihcir games with llir l)an illc Industrial League teams as the opposition. This is th( ipponents: lineup that Coach Nels r-mplfi with success against the Catcher — Marr. Boston College I ' itchers — Gravely, Yale: Nicholson, Brown First Base — Wolcott, Rice Institute Second Base — Lalanne, North Carolina Shortsto]! — Gezich, Indiana S. T. C. Third Base — Bodisbaugh, Columbia Lejl Field — Donovan, Delaware Center Field — Gebensleben, Ccdgate Right AfW— Wyder, New York University The squad was unique in that Marr was the former football and wrestling coach at Boston College, while Wolcott holds the title of the Vorld s Champion High Hurdler. At second base was Sweet Lalanne, the North Carolina AU- Americari halfback. Joseph CJezich was the property of the Pittsburgh Pirates before bis enlist- ment, so he was one of the minority that was gifted in baseball. Joe is still stationed at Bloomsburg. so B. .S. T. C. has good reason for looking forward to another successful season which will find the Maroon and Gold fighting it out with such teams as Bucknell, Lehigh, Muhlenberg, and Pennsylvania. 98 SEmoRS Join Your Alumni Association And Keep Your Membership Active Through the Years Our Ohjccf: To Keep the Door of Opportunity Open for Worthy American Youth.
