    Compy’s Cuties
By Dot Kaliscewski
"All right, girls, next week I
want you to bring a pair of dress
shoes with you when you come
to class.”
"Whatever for?” we all asked
when we heard this strange re
quest. We soon found out that for
our next class we were going to
learn to walk properly, sit cor
rectly, and climb stairs graceful
ly. We are all going to resemble
models after the end of this se
mester.
Since our regulation gym suits
have not arrived yet, we. show up
in class attired in all sorts ol
weird “get-ups”. They range from
Barb Orchard’s and Barb Edel
man’s plaid jeans to the cerise
socks on Jo Borowski’s feet.
After the test on health we read
but did not retain, we troop to
the gym for our excercises (ugh!)
Then we do a series'* of sketches
that are guaranteed to break your
back or do some more. The time
for the game dodge the rat (Ei
leen Lardo), comes, and the cat
(Bev Salchow) pursues her
around the circle.
Anne Walsh and Lynn Monta
gue anxiously await the end of
the first half of the gym hour so
that they can play basketball. Dot
Kaliszewski and Harlean Benec
just, await the end of the period.
Then, at last, the whistle blows,
and We leave the gym behind for
another week, with tremendous
appetites and aching legs.
Cheerleaders’
From the main- room of the
dorm comes the sound of thuds
and bumps, a voice shatters the
night with the sound of “fight,
team, fight!” “Keep quiet” a girl
screams from the adjoining bed
room. “Yeah, Behrend” respond
the four energetic remnants of the
cheering squad. Sue Gill, Anne
Walsh, Eileen Lardo, and Jan hit
the floor again for the final jump,
and the wall shakes, with the im
pact. “Once more” then all col
lapse on the floor with moans of
pain, and the exhibition of bruis
es. "‘Get out of here with that
stuff” someone commands and so
they depart for the cellar and
some peace for practice.
The uniform for this year is
composed of white turtle-necked
sweaters, navy pleated skirts,
white socks and saddle oxfords.
The girls made their debut at
Behrend with the entrance of bas
ketball season and the first game
with Altoona. They plan to cheer
at both home and away games.
But they need someone to cheer
too; so support your team and
cheerlearders by attending the'
'basketball games.

Greetings Little Ones,
Your uncle Jack is here again
with another crazy column. Bend
your ears this way and listen to
case history number 21 of, “Bowl
ing, Past and Present.”
Well now, it seems like some
real hep Germans, who weren’t
the least bit square, originated the
game of bowling, way back when.
Don’t ask me when “way back
when” was. I’m only writing this
story. But back to Adolph and
Henry. (The hep Germans) One
morning bright, they, being ex
tremely bored and strictly from
hunger, took off for a promenade
among the timber. They came up
on a clear stretch of land and
Henry exclaimed, “Man, dig that
crazy path.” “Ya”, said Adolph,
“it’s a gasser.” Now this path just
happened to be 62 feet 10% inch
es long, and 42 inches wide. (What
a coincidence.) At the end of the
path were some logs, ten in num
ber, that had been left there by i
some merry woodsman. Now Hen- I

THE NITTANY CUB
,ry, being a real round little guy,
I was always on the lookout for
some fun. “Hey”, he said, “check
this crazy idea.” Then he forth
with went into great lengths to
. make Adolph -understand. He
tripped down the path and set up
the logs in lines of increasing
number, starting with one. When
he had written this project off
the books as completed, he tramp
ed gaily back to where Adolph
was standing, looking for all the
world like a cube. (That’s a
square in 3-D) Henry played that
Smokey the Bear role, and sniffed
around for some implements with
which to put the logs down. He
found some fairly round stones,
and was frantically happy. While
Hen was taking five, Ad let loose
with a hook that was the swing
inest, and knocked down all the
logs. Did I say these boys were
the heppest? If I didn’t, I meant
to. After wasting away the better
part of the afternoon with this
new frivolity, they skipped home
to relay the news to all the
neighbors. Soon everybody was
enjoying this new game that was'
the most to say the? And there,!
little ones, you have the story of
the origin of Bowling. (YOU
HAVE?)
(FANE ABE OF TRUMPETS )
The king is dead, long live the
king. “Uncle Dave” has deposed
Dick Kuneman by racking up
six strikes in a row, while bowl
ing for the Gulls last time.
FLASH! “Lefty” Gehrlein was
seen running down alley number
five. Now, now, Jake, mustn’t kick
them over just because the ball
won’t curve right. (Or should it
hook left?) Oh well, who knows?
If you don’t Fm sure T don’t.
SO LONG!
