Behrend League
Starts Seas:n
By Charlotte Flack
On October 18, Behrend Center
invaded the Perry Plaza Bowling
Alleys with fourteen lanes in use.
Seen on this Monday were:
. . . excited jumps of happiness
as Janie Kennedy, Val Meals, Bob
bie Johnson, Janie Brown, Pat
Stocker, Nancy Hendershot, and
Char Flack broke 100 . . . the
big “200 men”—Earl Shriver, and
Bob Gornall with their cunning
grins . . . Jay Rolling’s , good luck
hat . . . Ralph McClintock jump
ing, oh so hard, to knock that
last pin over. It takes more than
big feet, Sir . . . Val Meals tra
veling with the ball, bottom dollar
down. There are easier methods of
getting a strike, Val . . . Bill
Schweitzer’s wheeling around so
he wouldn’t see that ten pin he
missed . . . Tom Green’s and Pat
Stocker’s southpaw curve . . .
huge average jumps for Bill Mae
der, Jody Borkowski, Reid Yaple,
Bill Schweitzer, and Bob Gornall;
some as high as twenty points
more . . . The look on Jody Bor
kowski’s face when she bowled
152, and Susie Lockley’s victory
clap of 133 . . . and lastly, the hill
billy yells of the Girard Dodos.
All in all, for 35 cents a game,
you can have a wonderful time
bowling, even though you do roll
a few gutter balls. Excuse me,
they are not gutter balls, tout
Blaine Smith boulevard balls.
Oompy’s Cuties
By Diane Fagan.
What’s this we hear about the
gals doing exercises in the park
ing lot? Because of the warm
weather, Compy brought the girls
outside to do their exercises. For
an hour they were grunting' and
groaning to take off the inches
gained by the good food here at
Behrend.
Each time class is held, the
girls weigh in and out and record
their weight. Something must be
going wrong! The gals weigh more
after exercises than before. Fran
nie Nielsen, we told you not to
eat that apple.
Basketball usually follows ex
ercises. Volleyball and other team
sports will make up some of the
other activities as the season pro
gresses. The gals are already prac
ticing hard to beat the alumni
in the basketball game during
homecoming. Those who signed up
to play are: Charlotte Flack, Pat
Stocker, Nancy Johnston, Valerie
Meals, Bobbie Johnson, Sylvia
Haise, Rosalia Hibbard, JoAnn
Black. Marge Elliott, Ardelle John
son, Fran Vidil, Nancy Hender
shot, Lib Guerin, Frannie Nielsen,
JoAnn Haumesser, Pat Metzger,
Norma Michael, Janie Jackson.
The ceiling of the student lounge
was being plastered, so the . girls
couldn’t go through their exer
cises. They felt so bad about it!

The group also picked the style
of gym suit for this year from
four new styles. The gym suits are
really cute and different: The gals
will wear white blouses and blue
shorts. ; • ~

Sportscope
By Bill Loell
The athletic program is moving
ahead at a great pace here at Beh
rend Center.
Each Monday finds most of the
students at the bowling alleys in
the Perry Plaza. Not only the stu
dents are there, but our faculty
is well represented, both in num
ber and ability. A few of the stu
dents along with a faculty mem
ber had a picture in one of. the
local papers. The honored group
consisted .of Mr, Patterson, in
structor of Math, Ernie Kittka.
Nancy Hendershot, Dot Maxwell.
Shirley McCauley, and Janie Ken
nedy.
The bowling league averages
and scores are being posted week
ly on the bulletin board in <-h»
class room building, along with
the list of team standings.
The swimming season was still
open at the beginning of this past
week, as far as some of the kids
were concerned. Perhaps it was
the warm weather we had before
the "flood” that served to bring
out the desire to go swimming. At,
any rate, William Storer, Don
Catlin, Nat Kobasa, John Olson,
Diane Fagan, Chuck Agnew, ana
Roberta Johnson were all splash
ing around in the pool. This par
ticular group had a picture taken
that was printed in the paper at
the same time as that of the other
on its way, so it’s now or never
A new procedure has started
this year. Instead of the girls’
having to carry their clothes all
over the building to find a plac
to park their stuff, they can nov
check it in at the basket room.
Martha Mulligan and Lois Owen
are on hand to take good care o:
the-valuables.
So, girls, if you’ve been hobblin:
around the campus with sore mus
cles and an aching back, close
up! As a happy note to end thi
column, just picture the nice
curves and the slim figures you’ll
be sporting by spring.

THE NITTANY CUB
group of Behrend students.
Although two or three dates
have been set for the basketball
games of the Behrend squad, the
schedule is still incomplete. The
team has been practicing diligent
ly and faithfully for the begin
ning of the season. Though the
Center is not a large school, let’s
all get behind our team and give
them the support that is so neces
sary to winning games. We can’t
all be athletes, but we can all get
out and cheer the team on.
The touch football teams in
the phys. ed. classes are having
"mite a workout. You can hear
them huffing and puffing for
miles when they start back from
the playing field.
Ping Pong is still “the” sport
at Behrend. It is a rare day indeed
when all the tables are not con
stantly in use. The only thing, is,
that the paddles are taking a
beating. Let’s try and keep them
in one piece.
All in all the sports program is
haping up nicely. Let’s keep it
going that way, and all get be
hind Mr. Simon, men’s phys. ed.
instructor, in his efforts to make
our stay here an interesting and
entertaining one. as well as an ed
ucatiervii one from the academic
standpoint.

Many Activities H
Since Halloween is but a few
days away, people are preparing
themselves for the usual question
of “trick or treat?” Halloween is
observed every year on the 31 of
October. The occasion is usually
given over to mischief and enter
tainments of a hilarious nature.
Weird costumes and masks are the
most outstanding 'symbols of the
Eve.
Long years ago, the pagan cele
brated Halloween (which literally
means “Holy Eve”) in the honor of
the good and the evil spirits. De
corations for the event such as
colored figures of cats, witches,
and ghosts, added to the enjoy
ment of the evening.
Today, Halloween has no relig
ious motive behind it. Costume
parties, parades, and dances are
held by the adults, while young
sters ring doorbells all evening
(and many evenings before and
after) for their tricks or treats.
In Erie, a Mummer’s parade is
held annually a few nights be
fore Halloween, and Behrend
Center has been asked by the Jun
ior Chamber of Commerce to enter
a float in the colorful procession.
Mr. Robert Baker’s adivsee group
will sponsor the float in the pa
rade on Friday evening, October
29.
The boys who are preparing the
project are: Jim Hendershot, Jack
Xlinehamer, Ken Legenzoff, Norm

Behrend students will also ob
serve Halloween by holding a
dance on the night of Saturday,
October 30. This dance will be
based on the traditional theme
and will be considered part of the
activities of the council confer-
ence that is to be held here on
that day, but all students are in
vited.
Hallowe’en?
At first glance, it looks as
though. Martha Mulligan is
trying to find a suitable cos-
tume for Halloween, but she
is really, modeling her fatheer's
long red underwear.
