Billie Holiday Commodore Master Takes Raritan

Posted : admin On 09.01.2020

If you're a completist who insists on having everything that recorded, is required listening. But for the more casual listener, it's best to pass on that two-CD set and stick with. While contains all of the alternate takes that recorded for Commodore in 1939 and 1944, this collection only concerns itself with the master takes (which total 16).

Never singed an exclusive contract with Commodore - she only freelanced for the label, and the ultra-influential jazz singer spent a lot more time recording for Columbia in the 1930s and early 1940s, and for Decca from 1944-1950. But her Commodore output was first-rate, and excels whether she's joined by trumpeter 's octet at a 1939 session or by pianist 's orchestra at three sessions in 1944.

The CD gets off to an impressive start with the controversial 'Strange Fruit,' a bone-chilling account of lynching in the Deep South that ended up being released on Commodore because Columbia was afraid to touch it. Is also quite expressive on performances that range from 'Fine and Mellow,' 'I Got a Right to Sing the Blues' and 'Yesterdays' in 1939 to 'My Old Flame,' 'Billie's Blues,' 'I'll Be Seeing You,' and 'He's Funny That Way' in 1944. For those with even a casual interest in 's legacy, this superb CD is essential listening.

September, 1963, will see the time of the admission of the first Arts and Science freshman. One-hundred twenty young people will form four sections or classes.

For more than 40 years, Bloomsburg has been an institution educating teachers certified for service in the schools of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This one function has limited its ability to serve the youth of Pennsylvania and has excluded many from the opportunity of attending college while living at home or from attending college at all because they were not abie to pay the fees charged by private institutions. Realizing the inability of the College Entrance Examinations, generally called the College Boards, to serve as the sole and final basis for admission, Bloomsburg will continue an experiment begun last year. One hundred or more “trial” freshmen will be admitted to the regular six-weex summer session to take two courses — one in English and the other in mathematics, which, if completed with average grades, will admit these freshmen to the first semester, beginning in September. Cast year’s admission was offered to approximately 60, 50 of whom showed up for classes in the summer session. More than 40 completed their summer work and 34 returned to enroll in September.

Recently a committee representing the Middle States Association visited the campus to determine th ability of the College to begin to offr courses leading to the Master’s Degree for teachers of English and Social Studies, including Geography. We have reason to believe that candidates to (1) take graduate courses leading to permanent certificate and/or (2) become candidates for the Master’s Degree will be admitted in either the summer session or in the fall semster of 1903.

Total enrollments will be fixed at a figure not to exceed a 25 per cent increase in the next two years and construction will be begun on two women’s dormitories to accom- modate 500, a men’s dormitory to accommodate 300 and an auditorium to seat 2,000 during the coming year. Further information regarding the development of a second campus on the Country Club site will be released as soon as the legislature has completed its deliberations, and the Governor has signed certain bills, which are now in the process of being drawn Or considered. In the meantime, you will please understand that these are plans being made for Bloomsburg rather than prophesies of what will happen in the future at your alma mater.

Box 227 Millville, Pa. Miss Elizabeth Hubler 14 West Biddle Street Gordon, Pa.

I am, indeed, honored to be here at this, your midyear Commence- ment of the Class of 1963. Natur- ally, being a stranger to members of the class, 1 do not know what your attitude is toward this day or toward me as Commencement speaker.

Perhaps it is the same as was expressed by the six-year- old after the first day of school. He got off the bus and as he was leav- ing he turned around to the driver and said, 'You don’t need to stop for me tomorrow.” The driver was naturally surprised and asked how that was. Hteve said, “I’ve had enough of that stuff!” Or, perhaps you may be charac- terized on this occasion by the same comment made about a jet bomber observed flying over the Carolina Banks.

An old codger looked up and said, 'And to think, 1 told Wilbur and Orville they would never fly!” And now, whether you have just 'had enough of this stuff” or you surprised a lot of people by being in this graduating class, at least I have you as a captive audience for a few minutes. A few months ago, Red Smith, the sports writer, made a particu- larly profound observation.

Billie Holiday Commodore Master Takes Raritan Valley

He wrote, 'It is a truth well-known to all authorities on geriatrics that the older a man gets the faster he could run as a boy.” More recently, the Saturday Evening Post reported that a few months after an election, 10% to 15% of the citizens who actually voted for a defeated candidate have come to believe sincerely that they voted for the man who won. This retrospective vote for the winner increases with time. It’s impossible, for example, to find a single old-timer who recalls voting against Teddy Roosevelt. This accommodating flexibility of the memory is a pleasant kind of failing. Unfortunately some of its side effects are not socially harmless. The generation that has developed a protective myopia to- ward its own mistakes not only has £0-20 vision for the mistakes of its offspring but also is sure it knows exactly how to correct them.

Anyway, here’s some advice. As a graduate of a State College, and as a President of another State College, I feel it incumbent on me to say several things about these colleges. Your President here at Bloomsburg has searched the rec- ords and plainly stated the facts about the growth of the State Col- leges, which growth emphasizes the theme of my remarks — Suc- cess is a Journey. You are being graduated from a college suppor- ted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and you have enjoy- ed the privilege and the appropri- ations extended by the Common- wealth in order that this higher education might be accomplished. Many others will want this same privilege and ye there is a contin- uous threat to it.

This threat is the lack of understanding in the Commonwealth as to the nature of public higher education. Public higher education in the state must meet at least three spe- cifications in order to exist.

Public higher education must be geogra- phically available. Also, public higher education must be obtain- able at a reasonable cost. And as its third attribute, public higher education must be quality educa- tion. Too often the legislators and the citizens in general fail to real- APRIL, 1963 Page 1 ize that these three attributes are necessary to public higher educa- tion. It is no answer to have a college in a town or across the street and charge so much that the citizens cannot afford to at- tend. Public higher education is the cornerstone of our democracy in these times of increasing auto- mation and scientific advance. We don’t dare over-price it.

You have the opportunity, and it will be incumbent upon you, to take a stand in favor of public higher education. So much for that. At this juncture in your educa- tional and personal life we stop to recognize your achievements. We pause to honor you for what you have done. This day is not the accomplishment. Rather, the hour- ly and daily chores of the last three or four years are the important things. Success is a Journey.

I am sure that each of you look forward from time to time to tak- ing a vacation. Some of these vacations are more extended than others. Each year my wife and I enjoy planning and taking a vaca- tion. At least, we try to take one annually. Through the years we have taken cruises in the Carib- bean. We choose a vessel that plans to go to ports in which we may be interested, and in prepar- ation we may read about the type of weather, what is to be seen, and where, above all, gentlemen, where the shopping is! But it is the cruise that makes the journey.

You sail from New York with the lights all aglow in Manhattan and you go by the Statue of Lib- erty and on to the ocean. Then you head south, knowing that in a day or two it will be much warm- er. Indeed, on the second day a few brave souls will appear in shorts to take advantage of the sun. Another day there is more sun, water in the swimming pool, deck games and the like. Then, per- haps, you will dock at Nassau or Jamaica and on to the shopper’s paradise of the western hemi- sphere, Curacao. Now you may have read, before you started, about the bridge in Curacao — the bridge at the harbor — which is on small pontoons.

As an ocean vessel comes and leaves the har- bor, this pontoon bridge is folded against the banks of the bay. But until you see this; until you really appreciate the ingenuity and the quaintness of the situation, you have not fully made this journey. Now I could go on and describe to you the sights of Caracas, or die Virgin Islands, and then the re- turn to New York itself — the slow humdrum pace of customs, and the return home. It is not the destin- ation that we are interested in; it is the journey itself. Friends, Suc- cess is a Journey. The success of your journey now may well be determined by the preparation you made for it.

In- deed, you have spent several years here in preparing for your journey into the educational field or else- where. Whether or not you will be able to collect the hundred thousand dollars it is estimated the college graduate will earn in his lifetime, above and beyond that of a high school graduate, is a matter for speculation and your efforts to produce. A man was walking across a park in a city and he knew there was a mental institution nearby, as well as a college.

He stopped to in- quire of a person working in the park which way it was to the col- lege. The man, who was a patient of the mental institution close by, pointed across the park to the col- lege and then observed to the questioner, “You know, I belong to this other state institution, but you have to show improvement to get out!” In spite of this seeming slur on the college, I am sure that you have made great progress to arrive at this day in your life. There is an ever-increasing de- mand for more specialized knowl- edge. Newspapers and magazines suggest the advantages of techno- logists of all kinds.

Pages and pages of advertisements plead for mathematicians, physicists, elec- tronic designers and computer pro- grammers. You must think of your field of specialization on this journey. Take time to think — for you have many decisions to make. Every generation has its problems and this is no exception. You may feel your decisions are on questions of unbelievable gravity. However, let us look backward at history a moment and raise the question: “Would you have signed the Dec- laration of Independence?” Would you have flaunted your signature in front of the king, as John Hancock did when he said, ’'There, George the Third won’t have to wear his spectacles to see that!” Then followed such people as Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Sam Adams, and John Adams. This was in 1776, and remember that Longfellow describes an event of a year earlier in these words: “Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere.

On the 18th of April in ’75, Hardly a man is now alive Who remembers that famous day and year.” Seventeen seventy-five. And yet it was a whole year later, the spring of 1776 that there was still the discussion of what to do. A committee of Jefferson, Franklin, Sherman, Livingston and John Ad- ams put it in writing and a resolu- tion was passed to accept his Dec- laration of Independence But then, it was even several days later before the revised copy, the en- grossed copy, was made and sign- ed; and each man knew that it was possible that he was signing his own death warrant Now you may think that this event is something that happened years ago and such a momentous decision need never be made again. But I say to you that each gener- ation must sign the Declaration of Independence again. Each generation by its own sacrifice of money and treasure, and perhaps even by blood, must preserve the doctrines set forth in the Declara- tion of Independence.

You cannot escape the obligation. Success is a Journey. Probably the secret of youth is that it takes time to play. Now play can be thought of — often is thought of — as being some type of vigorous physical exercise — in one era it may be golf, in another touch football or water skiing. But I prefer to look at it in a broader way which might be summarized by several questions, such as: Do Page 2 THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY you have a hobby? Have you read a book?

In emphasizing the neces- sity for play as part of your jour- ney, I also would like to indicate that a balance in your life must be maintained. In vour ear is a little canal which contains some fluid, and this little canal is what enables you to main- tain your physical balance. If it does not function properly, or if it becomes infected, you will not be able to stand upright.

You will become nauseated and uncomfort- able. This delicate physical me- chanism must operate effectively or the world around us becomes topsy-turvy. And, we all need another kind of balance — the balance in our men- tal life.

We are constantly walk- ing a tightrope — a tightrope be- tween the two types of mental in- stitutions I mentioned previously — on the one hand the institution trying to restore those in ill-health mentally, and on the other hand those that improve the minds to better serve mankind. We must maintain a balance between our work, our intellectual life, and our play in order to avoid one and keep our balance. If you accept the thesis that Suc- cess is a Journey, then you can change your goals; you can change your destinations. Take time to dream. It hitches the soul to the stars.

My generation remembers the day when there was no radio. Your generation remembers the time when there was no TV. But your children will always think of radio and TV as being part of their very life. We dreamed of space in the comic books, and lo, it is upon us!

It has been estimated that 11% of the products we now use were not produced four years ago. Also, that 10% of prescriptions we use today could not be filled five years ago. This is, indeed, a day of dreaming, in which the most fan- tastic dreams you may have come true. But without dreaming, with- out thinking, without planning, there can be no attainment of a goal. In the attainment of the goal is your success.

Now, lest you become too en- amoured of the idea of success, I would like to read to you a short see of verses written by General Alfred N. Gruenther — just to keep your sense of proportion: Sometime when you’re feeling important, Sometime when your ego’s in bloom, Sometime when you take it for granted you’re the best qualified in the room.

Sometime when you think that your going will leave an unfillable hole, Just try this simple experiment and see what it does for your soul. Take a bucket, fill it with water, Put pour hand in clear up to the wrist, Now pull it out, and the hole that remains is a measure of how you’ll be missed. You can splash all you please when you enter, You can stir up the water galore. But stop — in a minute you’ll find it just the same as before. The moral in this quaint example is Be proud of yourself, Do the very best that you can, But remember: There is no indispensable man.

And in conclusion, may I re- mind you that you alone are not graduating today. Your parents and your ancestors have given you the opportunity — the opportunity of being — the opportunity of be- ing what you are. Sir Christopher Wren, the build- er of many famous architectural ed- ifices, was going around the site when St. Paul’s Cathedral was be- ing built. He asked one of the men who was cutting the stone for the building, “What are you doing?” He said, “I’m cutting a stone.” He went on to another worker doing the same task. He said, “What are you doing?” “Im earning 5 shil- lings a day.” Going on to the next man, he again asked the same question, “What are you doing, my man?” To which he got the re- sponse, “I am helping Sir Christo- pher Wren to build a beautiful cathedral.” There can be little doubt as to which of these three men was getting the most out of life. Success is a Journey.

May you have a successful journey throughout life.

APRIL, 1963 Page 3 SCHEDULE OF WORKSHOP The Bloomsburg State College is pleased to announce the schedul- ing of a workshop in the P.S.S.C. Program during the regular sum- mer session, July 1-August 9. Class- es will be conducted daily, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.

The course will be offered at the undergraduate level for six hours of credit. This program, developed by the Physical Science Study Committee, headed by Dr. Zacharias of M.l.T. In 1956, is now being taught to 200,000 high school students.

Basic materials include the P.S.S.C. Physics textbook, laboratory guide and teacher’s guide. It is recom- mended that, if possible, teachers participating in the workshop re- quest their school districts to pur- chase a set of laboratory apparatus from the Macalaster Scientific Co., Cambridge, Massachusetts. We believe the P.S.S.C. Program to be a significant step forward in the teaching of physics in the sec- ondary schools.

It can contribute materially to the preparation of scientists and to increase the in- terest in and appreciation of phy- sical science to the non-science stu- dent. The vitality and life of the course is in its inductive approach, and the use of the laboratory as a learning experience. All science teachers who are teaching or plan to teach high shcool physics, and supervisors of science, are invited to participate. The program will include lectures on selected topics, discussion of problems, laboratory experience, P.S.S.C.

Films, related readings, and testing. The teacher’s guide will be used in the workshop dis- cussions. Cost to the participants will in- clude: Summer Session Basic Fee $75.00 Summer Session Activities Fee 5.00 P.S.S.C. Physics Text 5.80 Laboratory Guide 1.40 $87.20 Recommended, but optional: Teachers Guide $12.00 P.S.S.C.

Laboratory materials, app. $75.00 ’62 SURVEY SHOWS STUDENTS FROM GREATER AREA An increasingly larger number of communities located at greater distances from the college are rep- resented at BSC according to sur- veys and analyses of the past dec- ade. The 1962 survey, completed recently, indicated a significant in- crease in number of students whose homes are in Southeastern Pennsylvania, particularly Phila- delphia, Bucks, Montgomery, Del- aware and Chester counties. Of the total enrollment of near- ly 2,000 students, more than half come from 39 communities in 48 of the 67 counties in the State. Num- erically the town of Bloomsburg ranks first with 170, followed by Shamokin with 102, Berwick with 100, Danville with 78, and Hazle- ton with 59. Seven communities are represen- ted by groups of students ranging from 26 to 50 in number.

They are Sunbury 41, Williamsport 39, Cata- wissa 36, Wilkes-Barre 35, Scran- ton 30, Northumberland 29 and Milton 28. It is interesting to note that 413 students come from 27 towns having groups of 10 to 25 students enrolled at Bloomsburg. Approximately 1-3 of this group live in counties in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Included in the communities having 10 to 25 students at Blooms- burg are: Allentown 17 Ashland 13, Benton 18, Bethlehem 12, Elys- burg 10, Frackville 11, Glenside 10, Harrisburg 13, Glen Lyon 13, Hatboro 14, Kingston 18, Lewis- burg 11, Levittown 21, Lewistown 15, Mahanoy City 21, Mt.

Seronsy is the wife of Dr. Seronsy, who is professor of English and chairman of that department at BSC. Flanagan, a member of the Bloomsburg State College faculty for the past three years and coach of its Pennsylvania State College Conference champ- ionship track and field team of 1961 and 1962, has resigned his position here to accept one as ad- visor in health, physical education and recreation of the State Dep- artment of Public Instruction, Har- risburg.

Flanagan in his three years on the local campus has made a num- ber of friends in the community and has been active as an assis- tant coach in football as well as coaching the track team for its two championship years. He succeed- ed Harold Shelley in the latter post. He said he regrets leaving Bloomsburg but that the Harris- burg position is in a field in which he has long been active. A native of Clearfield, he is a graduate of Lock Haven State Col- lege and received his Master of Education degree at the Pennsyl- vania State College. He has taken graduate work at both Springfield, Mass., College and Ithaca, N. Flanagan came here from Bel- lefonte where he had an outstand- ing record as a wrestling coach, turning in a record of 33 wins to 19 losses in dual meets. In that time he had one state champion, Ron Pifer in 1957, four district and three regional champions.

He started his wrestling career in Du- Bois, where he coached from 1948 to 1952 and his overall record in the sport is 43, 19 and 1. While an undergraduate at Lock Haven he was both a member and coach of a wrestling team that won a state championship. At DuBois he was head track coach and assistant in football.

In his years as track coach, both in high school and at the local college he compiled a record of 27 wins and a single loss in dual meets. At Bloomsburg his team had a 15 and 0 record over two seasons and at DuBois the tally was 12-1. He was a member of the track, football and wrestling teams at Clearfield High School and on the same teams at Lock Haven throughout his collegiate career, being captain of the football team as a senior.
