O-TB EX LIBRIS OBITER Second All College, Yearbook of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College Published by the SENIOR CLASS Volume XXX Nineteen Hundred and Forty-six DEDICATION + m DOCTOR KIMBER KUSTER We the Class of 1946 dedicate this, the Thirtieth Obiter and Second All College Year Book to: DR. KIMBER KUSTER Soldier, Scholar, Teacher, Friend Because — his personal experiences in another war fitted him so well to guide us in these troubled years. Because — his teaching and personality early challenged us with the dignity of college work. And Because — of his deep and genuine interest in all we said and did. FOREWORD Education is the hope for work! peace. It is our privilege as teachers to guide the thinking of the genera- tion, and thus insure this blessing to humanity. This book, symbolic of our col- lege days aspires to carry the mes- sage of the school into places where we are called to serve. CONTENTS BOOK I O u r C o 1 1 e g e BOOK 11 Our Classes BOOK III Our Organizations BOOK IV Our Athletics BOOK I Om @oMeye CARVER HALL We come by a broad and shaded street to the Fountain. Beyond, the college looks down with the morning sun over the town from which it takes its name to a distant river and a dark rampart of hills. We mount the steps to Carver Hall, oldest of college buildings that holds the memories of music, of drama and commencements. WALLER HALL Beyond the lions, across the broad and sloping lawn is Waller Hall, dormitory home of girls, the dining hall and the office nerve center, of the school. 10 NOETLING HALL To the left of the lawn before Waller Hall, we find Noetling Hall with its classrooms, the library and the haunt of day room girls. 11 SCIENCE HALL Had we turned left at Carver Hall and passed through the Pinery we would have come across another broad lawn to Science Hall and back of that a grove of stately oaks that screens the green house and service buildings. 12 NORTH HALL We climb higher and cross the driveway beyond which are tennis courts and North Hall, dormitory home of men. 13 NAVY HALL AND BENJAMIN FRANKLIN TRAINING SCHOOL Then on to Navy Hall, to Benjamin Franklin Training School, one of our professional centers. CENTENNIAL GYMNASIUM Then the hilltop with its broad playing field and the magnificent Centennial Gymnasium with its beautiful blue pool, its playing courts and classrooms. The last bits of the setting sun rest lightly upon the hill while be- low the shadows gather under the trees and among the college buildings. 15 Facts On Campus DID YOU KNOW THAT: Figures of eagles formerly stood in the place now occupied by the lions. The lions were in the space above, where the lights now stand. Several workmen complained that it did not seem proper that the English lion should stand above the American eagles. This raised quite a controversy, so the eagles and the lions changed places. In time, the broad wings of the eagles were broken off, and the eagles were replaced by the lights. A fountain, given as a class memorial, once stood on the lawn of front campus. A lovely garden in front of the fountain, with flowers planted to form the letters B. S. N. S., was a distinctive feature of the campus. The first athletic field is now the site of Science Hall. A por- tion of the second field can be seen by Navy Hall. Mt. Olympus is our third athletic field. The first manual training room was situated in what we now call the dining room wing. That white building known as the isolation hospital was origi- nally an ice house, in which ice cut from the river was stored. It was then enlarged, and called the pest house , for treatment of persons having contagious diseases. The queerly-shaped hump in the back of North Hall was the first water reservior on the campus. During the days when B. S. T. C. was a Literary Institute, it served as storage space for water which flowed down from the hills. It was then used as a storage place for potatoes. A fire in 187 5 destroyed the dormitory building which was replaced by the present Waller Hall. There was also a serious fire in North Hall in 1904. The latter building at that time housed the college laundry, the music department, and the chemistry laboratory. The Home Economics Department was located in the place now occupied by the Social Rooms and kitchen of Science Hall. The fourth face of the Carver H3II clock is much higher than the others. It was placed at that height so that persons in the dormitory could see it. 16 Facts On Campus The first training school was a small, one-story building and stood where the Memorial Pinery is now. Following the Spanish-American War, many Cuban students enrolled at Bloomsburg. One of these persons, Dr. Jose Osuna, later became the head of the University of Puerto Rico. A member of the first graduating class of this institution was head of it for twenty-seven years — Dr. Waller. Mr. Noetling, who was head of the department of pedagogy, was a writer and the author of a book on education at a time when such works were rare. A dean of women was once dismissed because of her ardent belief in spiritualism. Eileen Falvey. Alma Mater If hurrying years have dim ' d past Or busy life made you deplore The joyous days of youth, let ' s cast Amid the scenes which we shall greet, Let ' s live again with youth now here They play our games, our classes meet; Youth must be served, give them a cheer. Once more I climbed the hill To see those ivyed walls That welcomed me, and still Fond mem ' ry to me calls The forms, the voices of the past. Here at Old Bloomsburg, dear to all Whose pleasant lot was cast Amidst her friendly halls, recall The days of youth, the happy past And feel the thrill of present days For here the friendly spirit stays. William Boyd Sutliff. 17 HARVEY A. ANDRUSS president Greetings to Seniors of 1946: Peace is here. Pearl Harbor is a date in recent history. Since war is made in the minds of men, it is there that the defenses of peace must be constructed. The teacher has a grave responsibility, since liberty is not only our heritage, but a conquest for each generation. May the Spirit of Bloomsburg continue through you to construct defenses of peace in the minds of men. President. 18 To the Members of the Class of 1946: In the past four years you have witnessed through the mechanical inventions of our men of science the greatest changes ever experienced in the history of mankind. Dynamic and terrifying forces have been released. Distance has been dwarfed. Unknown and far away places have become but a few hours apart. Yet with all these technological devel- opments, men are still but babbling strangers, distrustful of each other and spiritually far apart. Thus we have a new frontier in the education and an exciting challenge for you of the Class of 1946. As you go forth to work as teachers, we hope that what you have learned here at Bloomsburg will be of immeasurable value to you in preparing the younger generations to utilize the new discoveries of science for the common good of man. The peoples of this dwarfed world must learn to dwell together in peace and comfort. This truly is a great challenge and worthy of your best efforts. Sincerely yours. Dcdii of Instruction THOMAS P. NORTH Dean of Instruction 19 To the Class of 1946: You have had the unusual experience of going through college in time of war and now you are the first class to graduate into a post-war world. Your work as teachers in such a world will demand knowledge, human understanding and a strong, adventurous spirit. We hope and believe that you have what it will take. Best wishes for your success and hap- piness. Sincerely yours, Marguerite Kehr, Dean of Women MARGUERITE KEHR Dean of Women THE DEANS To the Members of the Senior Class of 1946: As our college campus returns to nor- malcy and as familiar faces rejoin their college classmates, it is extremely pleasant to have the opportunity of extending a warm word of greeting to you. To those who leave us this year, good luck and best wishes. Remember that those of us who remain at Bloomsburg will be glad to see you whenever you can find it possible to return to the scenes of your undergraduate days. John C. Koch, Dean of Wen .JOHN C. KOCH Dean of Men 20 Left to Right — Miss Hazen, Mr. Fisber, Mr, Forney, Mr Bailer, Dr. KHir Education Because education is the hope for world peace, college students need expanding cultural background and basic attitudes. To gain these, courses are offered in orientation, guidance, psychology, philosophy and teaching techniques. The education department has directed all practice teach- ing. They have presented actual school situations so that seniors might gain self-confidence and the ability to teach. In order to help students leaving Bloomsburg there is a placement service administered by Mr. Joseph R. Bailer. It is through this service that graduates find their place in the profession. 21 Left to Eight — Mr. Gehrig, Mr. Fc i . Mr. Rygiel. Business Education More than ever before, the business world needs trained leadership. Bloomsburg specializes in business training. A student who completes his work in business education has been trained in the following subjects: Bookkeeping and Accounting Business English Commercial Law Business Writing Economics Shorthand Salesmanship Commercial and Economic Geography Commercial Mathematics Junior Business Training Office Practice Typewriting The high schools of the surrounding communities, Ber- wick, Bloomsburg, Danville, and Williamsport have co- operated with the business education department to give the students a chance for practical application of their sub- ject matter and theory courses. The Bloomsburg graduates have an enviable record in their profession. 22 Left in Right Miss Mettler, -Miss McCammon, sir. Bnchhiet Health Education During the recent wartime years college students have become increasingly conscious of the importance of health. The Health Education Department gives students oppor- tunity to train themselves so they might further the health of the community in which they teach. During the war years the physical education directors trained Navy men. With reconversion to peace time ac- tivities intercollegiate sports are being stressed as well as a physical education program in the training school. Working with the physical education directors is the resident nurse, Miss Beatrice Mettler. In addition to her duties as nurse Miss Mettler conducts classes in hygiene. 23 Seated, Left to Right— Miss Johnston, .Mis- Mason, Miss Gilmore. Standing— Mr, Fensteinaker, Mr. Bailer, Mr. Wilson, Language Language is one of the strongest tools of the teacher. The language department is under the direction of Samuel L. Wilson. In this department training is given in French and Spanish as well as the subjects offered in English. English courses offered are: English Composition, English and American Literature, Advanced Composition, Children ' s Literature, Journalism, Shakespeare, Short Story, Teaching of English and Handwriting and Library Science. The speech work of this department is conducted by Miss Alice Johnston. Courses offered in speech work are: Fundamentals of Speech, Phonetics, Speech Correction and Speech Clinic, Voice and Diction, Play Production. 24 Miss Etanson. I r. Kuster. Mr. Wagner. Mr. Shortess Science and Mathematics College students are entering a new and more scientific era which requires alert and accurate minds. The science and mathematics departments have given excellent training and preparation for work in the future. Courses offered in these two fields are: Physics, Chemis- try, Algebra, Geometry, Trigometry, Calculus, Botany, Zoology, Physical Science, Entomology, and Biological Sci- ence. These two departments trained Navy men for the war program. The Science Department conducted courses for student nurses in co-operation with the Bloomsburg Hos- pital. The Science and Mathematics Departments have made vital contributions to the students preparing for the diffi- cult days ahead. 25 Miss Rich, Mr. Reams, Dr. Maupin, I r. Russel. Social Studies and Geography These two subjects are so directly related that they go hand and hand to form almost the same field for specializa- tion on the part of Secondary students. They furnish a rich background of the world, its places and people together with the record of the past which makes us intelligent interpreters of the happenings of the present here or abroad. Social Studies which usually includes Geography are required in all public schools therefore the Elementary, Business Education and Secondary Departments include the work of these broad fields. 26 Seated Miss Woolwortli, Miss Moore, Miss Hazen, Miss VanSc Standing Mrs. Scott, Mis. Barnes, Miss Major, Mrs Baker. Training School The Benjamin Franklin School located on the campus is the vital laboratory of the Teachers College. Here are found special education classes, a kindergarten and the first six grades of public school all housed in a thoroughly mod- ern building. Elementary students do their practice teaching in this building under the direction of a strong staff of training teachers. Miss Edna J. Hazen is Director of Elementary Education. She is assisted by: Miss Elma Major, Special Class Miss Grace Woolworth, Kindergarten Mrs. Lucille Baker, Grade I Miss Iva Mae Van Scoyoc, Grade II Miss Harriet Moore, Grade III Mrs. Anna Garrison Scott, Grades IV and V Miss Edna J. Barnes, Grades V and VI 27 Mr. George J. Keller Art Art is recognized as another means of expression and it must be understood and utilized if one is to teach well and ef- fectively. Students in both Elementary and Sec- o ndary curricula are required to take course in both art and art appreciation. In the Elementary field there are addi- tional course in the fundamental princi- ples of art as applied in everyday living. Prof. George M. Keller includes in his courses challenging opportunities for stu- dents to work in drawing, lettering, pos- ter making and creative art. All work has a sharp bent toward the utilization of art in the understanding of living, such as home planning and decoration. Music Music is the universal language. It is an excellent medium for understanding countries that seem far away and foreign. Miss Harriet Moore has presented a course in Music Appreciation to every Elementary and Secondary student. This course acts as a basis for building further understandings in the field of music. The Elementary people get additional training in teaching music, sight reading and conducting. In these courses music of other lands as well as American music- is studied and discussed. As a result, music training becomes a practical as well as a cultural subject. 2:: Library The library is the crossroad and heart of the school. Here at some time or another come all students to the common source of materials and books. Miss Dorothy E. Gilmore is act- ing librarian while Miss Pearl Mason is on leave of absence. Miss Gilmore has the responsibility and care of this important division of the school at the present time. Miss Gilmore Business Manager and Superintendent of Grounds and Buildings All financial transactions of the col- lege pass through the efficiently operat- ed business office where Mr. C. M. Hausknecht presides. He has handled these delicate and important matters over a period of years, and is well fitted to cope with them. The beautiful campus and the wealth of buildings and equipment are the re- sponsibility of Mr. N. T. Englehart. He supervises the care and maintenance of the school property in such a way that the beauty and utility of the col- lege is preserved. In addition, Mr. En- glehart does many things for the stu- dent body directly, like cooperating in the planning of dances and other school social functions. Mi. ( ' . M ii.ms.iii in. Mr. N. T.

Office Personnel Much of the efficiency of the college is due to the con- stant efforts of the office personnel. Students come in con- tact with them frequently during their college days and are grateful for the help they have received from these people. The members of the office personnel of the college are: Mrs. Anna M. Knight. Secretary to the President Mrs. Getrude Andrews Horne Registrar Miss Paulina Vee Clossen ,, Stenographer in the Dean of Instruction ' s Office Miss Mary Lou Fenstemaker Secretary to the Dean of Instruction Miss Ethel Wilson Secretary to the Business Manager Miss Aula Holter Bookkeeper in the Business Office Miss Betty Kuster ...

And I have found no way to lag behind The fleeting years, save by the magic chain That binds me, youthful, to the youth I love, I teach. Because I would be wise and wisdom find From millions gone before whose torch I pass, Still burning bright to light the paths that wind So steep and rugged, for each lad and lass Slow-climbing to the unrevealed above, I teach. Because in passing on the living flame That ever brighter burns the ages through, I have done a service that is worth the name Can I but say, The flame of knowledge grew A little brighter in the hands I taught, I teach. Because I know that when life ' s end I reach And thence pass through the gate so wide and deep To what I do not know, save that men TEACH, That the remembrance of me men will keep Is what I ' ve done; and What I have is naught, I teach. 31 Woodward. BOOK II Om @ta4Ae MR. BAILER FACULTY ADVISERS DR. KUSTER DR. MAUPIN DR. NELSON MISS McCAMMON The Class of 1946 is sincerely grateful for the help of six faculty members who have served as advisers throughout four years of college. Mr. Bailer Mr. Wagner Mr. Fenstemaker Miss McCammon Dr. Nelson Dr. Kuster It is unusual for a Class to have six faculty advisers, but this is an unusual class in that there are students graduating who began three years ago and some who began four years ago. These six people have been a steadying influence during the turbulent time the Class of 1946 was in college. We thank them for their inspiration and careful guidance. 33 MR. WALTER S. RYGIEL Senior Commencement Week Adviser Mr. Walter S. Rygiel, a member of the Business Educa- tion Department, has capably served as chairman of the Senior Commencement Week Activities for several years. He assists the faculty class adviser in the various senior class activities which take place during the year. Some of the special activities which come under his guidance are: Senior Banquet and Ball, Ivy Day ceremo- nies, Baccalaureate and Commencement ceremony eti- quette, procedures and other details. The Class of 1946 takes this means of expressing its sincere appreciation to Mr. Rygiel for his untiring efforts in making the Commencement Week Activities, events which will long be remembered and cherished. 34 Left i Right G. Gabuzda, B. Falvey, J. Hmelnicky, I. Seybert, K. Hess Senior Class The Class of 1946 is quite a mixture. Some of the members are regular four-year students, but the majority were on the accelerated program, completing four years ' work in three years ' time. We also have among us a few returned veterans, whom we are proud to have. Although most of our college activities have been limited by war- time conditions, we have had at least a glimpse of peace- time college life during our last year. The seniors have carried on the college canteen to finance the Obiter, and we express our gratitude to all the members of the college community who have helped us in so many ways. 35 Donald Blackburn Wanamie, Pennsylvania Secondary Day Men ' s Association l, 2, 3; North Hal :iation 4; Phi Sigma Pi; Dramatic Club 1 ketball J.

Soon after the opening of the semester, officers and a class adviser were elected. At the close of the first semester we again lost a few members, but with the return of the G. I.

Now with our Sophomore year nearly over, we are looking forward with eagerness to the new and interesting experiences we shall have as Juniors. 58 Anne E. Baldy Marjorie E.

From the low of seven members in ' 4$, it increased to twenty-two in the hist semester of ' 46 and to a grand total of sixty-two in the last semester. Facilities in the basement of North Hall had degenerated during the War, and the main efforts of the year were concerned with attempting to get things back into shape again. It was not possible to get the radio back from the repair shop until the end of the year due to lack of funds. During the last semester, a vigorous drive was launched to get the Day Men ' s Room transferred to the social room in the basement of Noetling Hall where it would be more pleasant and conveniently located. The success of the campaign will depend on the ability of the Day Men to collect enough dues to insure indemnification of the furniture, and to a solution of the smoking hazard. Most habitual habitu ' s of the Day room where the pinocle teams of Mark Wanich, Andrew Magill, John Magill, James Smith, and Clayton Patterson; and the ping-pong and pool teams of Harold Miller, Ralph McCracken, and Lawrence Reitmiller. faculty sponsor of the Association was Coach George Buchheit.

During the past year, five new members were initiated into the fraternity. The Fraternity joined with the Business Education Club for their annual banquet. During the evening the officers for the ensuing year were installed. 87 Seated, Left ti Right — I. Gehman, B. Gabuzda, K. Kight Standing — Miss Johnston, D. Kocher, II. WriL-lit.

Elections and initiations of new members were held twice this past year. On the days of initiations, the group first gathered in the Carver Hall Auditorium, and from there adjourned to the Social Rooms of Science Hall for the remainder of the program. In conjunction with the Dramatic Club, the fraternity sponsored a most successful public play — The Man Who Came to Dinner, several plays for various clubs and organizations in the town of Bloomsburg, and the final chapel program for the college year on May 22. 8R OFFICERS President Vive President Secretary Treasurer Sponsor Phi Sigma Pi George W. Smith - James L. LaBarr Lado J. Savelli Robert Bunge Mr. E. A. Reams On April 26, 1930, the Iota chapter of Phi Sigma Pi was installed on our campus. It is the only national professional educational fraternity for men, and since its installa- tion it has been one of the most active bodies in our college community. The three basic principles of Phi Sigma Pi are knowledge, training, and fellow- ship. 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. Since most of the members of Phi Sigma Pi were in the armed forces of our coun- try, the fraternity failed to function for a period of one year. In January, 1946, the fraternity was reorganized by a small number of former members who returned to the campus. A number of social meetings and discussions contributed to an enjoyable and profit- able year. 89 OBITER STAFF We, the 1946 Obiter Staff, sincerely hope that this book merits your approval, and that it may bring back to you man) ' happy memories serving as a link in this ever-changing life which belongs to our generation.

The meetings featured such items as: veterans ' experiences; a talk by Attorney Reginal Hemingway on Strengthening Our Nation ; student teachers ' experiences; information by Mr. Rygiel on the forma- tion of commercial clubs in high schools; and the Christmas Party. News on recent developments in the business field was a regular feature of all meetings. This year the Club planned and produced its first Annual, which included reflections on the past year. It was dedicated to Mr. Walter S. Rygiel, sponsor and friend. The group also named Miss Gloria Bel- castro as the Honorary Member from last year ' s club.

ISiclinrd Bloomsburg Players The Dramatic Club is one of the most popular extra-curricular activities on the campus. Our former director, Miss Alice Johnston, has just returned from a year ' s leave of absence and has once again resumed her work with the Dramatic Club. This organization provides a workshop for those students wishing to learn to direct and produce plays, a knowledge which may prove helpful when they are teaching. At the same time, the members are gaining poise and ease for appearance before the public. At the beginning of the first semester, the following officers were elected: President ------ Ann Williams Vice President - Doris Gilday Secretary - - Peggy Suchy Treasurer ------ - Martha Stitzel During this first semester, a number of plays, directed entirely by students, were presented. A large student-participation in these plays made them successful and en- tertaining. We feel that we went through the last semester successfully, and we owe a great deal of this success to Miss Van Scoyac, who was our sponsor, during the absence of Miss Johnston. We are now well into our second-semester ' s work, presenting a play for the second- semester Annual Freshman Reception. Due to the absence of our director, we have had no long plays for the public up to this time; but we are now planning a long play that will be ready by the end of April. Active participation in the Dramatic Club work makes it possible for a few mem- bers to become members of the Alpha Psi Omega National Honorary Dramatic Fraternity. 95 First Row, Left to Right— R.

It was interesting to see the large number of students who were interested in Music Appreciation and the enrollment is approximately 5 members. The programs consisted of biographies of various well-known com- posers, and their works. Many an enjoyable hour was spent listening to the recordings played at the club meetings. Although the club was just established this year, its future success is evident. 96 Social Service Club First Row, Left to Right: F. Sanders D. Winkelbleck B. Fisher A. Pappas B. Smith N. Fisk H.

The enrollment for this semester reached eighty-six — a consid- erable increase over last year. The Women ' s Chorus, under the capable supervision of Miss Moore, presented its annual Christmas program on December 17. The selections of the program varied. The soloists, Ann Williams and June Hontz, and the trio, consisting of Isabel Gehmen, Midge and Madge Fuller, made the audience feel the real spirit of the Yuletide season. The Women ' s Chorus rendered a few selections at the Freshman Reception held on February IS. A change in Miss Moore ' s schedule pre- vented her from continuing the chorus for the last semester. The Women ' s Chorus should be complimented on its fine work. Many thanks are extended to Miss Moore for her able leadership and Martha Hathaway for her outstanding piano accompaniment. 98 I Sopranos Betty Adams Anne Baldy Shirley Mae Boughner Dora Brown Helene Brown Mary Ellen Clark Marian Creveling Betty Jane Crouse Nancy Fisk Isabel Gehmen Geraldine Hess Janet Gilbody Doris Gilday Sara Graham June Hontz Pauline Kokolias Dorothy Kucharski Peggy Lewis Jane McCullough Ellen Moore Mary Ellen Morrow Mary Amelia Moser Eloise Noble Marcia Pat terson Betty Renee Paul Jeanne Lou Reitz Mary Rush Jean Shissler Betty Shultz Shirley Walters Anita Webb Anne Williams Evelyn Witman Sopranos Betty Jane Anella Ruth Bath Marjorie Brace Doris Condor Marie Dieflfenbach Estelle Friday Eleanor Frutchey Midge Fuller Joyce Gass Jean Hooper Shirley Keiser Mae Klinger Dorothy Kocher Rose Marie Kraiser Mary Longo Frances Michaels Frances Mylet Jane Niles Evelyn Pethick Ruth Reichard Charlotte Reichard Mary Shoemaker Joyce Smith Martha Stitzel Ruth Swartz Marcella Vogel Helen Mae Wright Altos Marian Chubb Nancy Evancho Edith Fling Madge Fuller Alberta Funk Louise Garard Barbara J.

The chief aim of the club is to arouse the students ' interest in both the natural and physical sciences. Each week many phases of chemical, biological, and physical sciences are discussed. The programs consist of outside speakers, discussions, movies, quizzes, and field trips to study the scientific aspects of the campus. The highlight of the year is the all day field trip to a chosen des- tination. 100 BOOK IV iirti aw bi m v Ocn rft6tetic Left t,. Right P. Sticky, .1. Padula, C. Hower. B. Hartiuan, D.

Sept. 29 — Lock Haven away. Score L. H. — 7; B — 6. After eight practice sessions Bloomsburg opened its season with Lock Haven, who had played University of Scranton the week before. During the first quarter L. H. drove for a touchdown using mostly line plays, and then scored the extra point by plunging over the goal line. In the second period Bloomsburg started at the mid field and carried the ball to the twenty-yard line, where on a reverse pass our end received the ball in the end zone for a touch- down. Try for goal kick went low and the score was Lock Haven 7, Bloomsburg 6. Toward the end of the first half Bloomsburg intercepted a pass and ran to the ten-yard line, but before they had a chance for another play the time ran out for the half. Neither team could continue a drive during the second half. October 6 — East Stroudsburg away. Score Bloomsburg — 13; E. S. — 0. Weather — Continuous rain. Bloomsburg ran 90 yards on the first kick-off, plunged the line for the extra point and the score was B. 7, E. S. after 30 seconds of play. E. S. had plenty of weight and gained from scrimmage, but could not push the ball over for a score. Bloomsburg intercepted a forward pass on E. S. 30-yard line and using the reverse pass play scored again in the first half. The Big Red team of E. S. staged another drive that ended on the five-yard as the first half was up. During the third quarter neither team could advance and each team was forced to resort to punting. During the last quarter the heavier E. S. team drove to the Huskies 7-yard line, but the Bloomsburg team held and took the ball. E. S. had made more first downs than Bloomsburg, but the final score was B. 13, E. S. 0. October 10 — East Stroudsburg at home, game was played at the Athletic Park at night. Score Bloomsburg — 1 9; E. S. — 7. Before a crowd of 1 ,000 fans the Bloomsburg Huskies forward passed to victory over the E. S. team. On pass plays of 42 yards, 10 yards, and 29 yards, Bloomsburg made her three touchdowns. E. S. scored in the third quarter by a pass over the goal line. Bloomsburg used two teams during the game and then let a third group finish out the last few minutes of play. October 20 — Lock Haven at Home (Homecoming Day). Score Lock Haven — 8; Bloomsburg — 7. Before a large homecoming crowd Bloomsburg scored against Lock Haven and was on the Lock Haven two-yard line during the first period but lost ball on downs. Lock Haven then began to function and during the third quarter scored, but failed to make the point. Lock Haven kept driving and driving and finally forced Bloomsburg back until Bloomsburg was caught behind the boal because ot a bad pass from center. This gave L. H. a safety and two points which gave them the game, 8-7. Lock Haven, having won two games from E. S., had the best record of any of the Teachers Colleges for 1945. 103 WOMEN ' S SPORTS 104 First Row, Left to Right M. Pelchar, J. Gilbody, II. Wright, D. C ! r. E. Witman, D. Brown, 1 Kocher, .1.

Glen Loveland of Kingston township and Pat Flaherty of Bloomsburg were at the forward spots. Playing guards were Jay Scarcella of Hazleton and Don Blackburn of Wanamie, while Hmelnieky played at center. No better tribute can be paid to a team than to say they did their best.

Three days after he returned to school, Kashuba entered the Philadelphia Inquirer Invitation Meet at Convention Hall, Philadelphia, and won first place in the High Jump by clearing the bar at 6 ' 4 3 4 . This turned out to be his best jump of the year and set a record in the meet as well as breaking his own school record. Matt was invited to the Melrose Games at Madison Square Garden, where he tied for first in the High Jump with Paul Robson, Junior, of Cornell, and John Vislocky, of the New York Athletic Club, by jumping 6 ' 4 . The management of the Boston A. A. Meet invited Matt there on February 9 at which time he tied for first with John Vis- locky of the New York A. C, and Dave Albritton, of the Dayton A. C, it the height of 6 ' 2 . On February 2 3 he competed in the National A. A. U. Senior Indoor Meet at Madison Square Garden. This was the second time he had competed in the indoor A. A. U., as he had participate d in this meet in 1942 before going into the service. John Vislocky of the New York A. C. was the meet ' s winner with a jump of 6 ' 6 . Matt tied for fourth with three other competitors with a jump of 6 ' 2 . An inter-class track meet was held by Coach George C. Buchheit before the Easter vacation and the following boys competed: Mario Berlanda Matt Kashuba Don Rabb Edward Bollinger Stanley Krzywicki Richard Rowlands Robert Bunge Glen Loveland Thomas Smigel Al Davis John Magill Thomas Vershinski Pat Flaherty William Miller Kenneth Wire Vincent Husovsky The final results of the meet were: The Freshmen, 56 points; Juniors, 31 points; Sophomores, IS points; Seniors, 8 points.

Coast Guard, Brooklyn; James Gilchrist, Swarthmore; and John Murphy, Ohio State University, by jumping 6 ' 3 . 1945 Soccer The College had a very limited schedule in soccer as the Navy trainees were leaving November 1 . October 13, Kutztown S. T. C. at Kutztown. Score, Kutztown 4 — Bloomsburg 0. A two-game schedule gave our boys interested in soccer a chance to practice and learn the fundamentals of the game. The boys played well the first game, but lost 4 to 0. October 17, Kutztown at home. Score, Kutztown 11 — Bloomsburg 1. Kutztown had a smooth functioning team and defeated the home team 11 to 1. Kutztown did not have football and stressed soccer during the fall season with good results. Blooms- burg had few experienced players and deserved a good deal of credit for their persever- ance. 108 1946 Baseball Up until the time the Obiter went to press, the team had chalked up the following scores.

The Navy program made us feel that ours was a definite contribution toward the war effort, and few of us will forget the experience of going to college with Navy men. They helped us have a better understanding of the problems our own Bloomsburg boys were facing because many of the Navy men saw action overseas. These are some of the things we remember about the Navy — Reveille at 6:00 — shouts of Rise and Shine and Hit the Deck. Trainee, the V-5 dog, and the other assortment of dogs that followed the Navy. Those ensign uniforms and that Ensign manner. A white sea of Navy hats flowing into Noetling Hall. Navy salt talk and Navy songs. The obstacle course in our peace time grove. Liberty night and restrictions. Precision drilling and the cadence. Fred Waring reviewing the ensigns. Field day with its — I wonder if my bunk mate dusted the bureau. Navy training planes circling our campus. The change from Blues to Whites. Taps at 10:00 that hushed our campus. These are a few of the things we won ' t forget about the Navy. They made us feel that Bloomsburg had done something toward bringing peace. They broadened our understanding, tempered our reactions toward war- time conditions, and left us with a sense of pride in Our Navy. Most of all, they gave us a closer feeling to the boys we sent to the armed forces from our own college group. It made us more under- standing civilians. ill 112 Let ' s Relax! To the cry so often raised by Bloomsburg students for a relaxation center has finally come not one but several inviting answers: number one: The Social Room — upholstered comfort for card fiends, record enthusiasts and all around fellows; number two: The Canteen — filling station for that ten minute break, with all kinds of dry goods and pop, to whet the appetite ; num- ber three: The Gym and Juke Box — rhythm room for jitterbugs and Arthur Murray addicts. Here, too, victims of the smoke weed gather to enjoy the innovation of the smoking privilege. These relaxation centers did not just happen. They came as the result of many hours, days and even years of work, planning, organizing and debating. They are not the product of the present campus personnel, rather they are the realization of the ideas, dreams, and fond hopes of the evergrowing Alumni. The canteen, for example, is the Angel of this very book. The idea for its establishment as a financial aid to the yearbook originated with Miss Arlene Superko and Dr. Maupin. It evolved under the management of Violet Weller, Marge Stover and Evelyn Whitman to our present canteen set-up. So today we have those places students have long asked for. They are ours, to play, eat, dance, smoke, to make the most of, so— LET ' S RELAX. 113 SENIORS Join Your Alumni Association And Keep Your Membership Active Through the Years Our Object: To Keep the Door of Opportunity Open for Worthy American Youth.

In the world of business your pupils discover the continual practice, practice, practice of school routine pays off in rhythmic speed — in accustoming them to a business-like routine — in an ever-increasing degree of responsi- bility and pay. So too, with a typewriter. The greater the skill and accuracy in its manu- facture — the faster, more smoothly, it operates — getting work done with less effort, leaving the typist fresher at day ' s end. The first practical typewriter, made over 70 years ago, was a Remington. Ever since, Remington has been the leader in typewriter development. To- day Remington Rand Typewriters are standard in large businesses every- where — more Remingtons have been sold than any other make — a tribute to the scientific research and engineering skill that have gone into making them the finest products ever to bear the proudest name in typewriters . . .
