Con gratulations, kids! | “The iMan Who Came to Din ner” went, hut left a lot of mem ories for the play cast. Norma Michaels should be especially congratulated for her hard work in getting the stage set up and in handling the props. Every day that we come to school there seem to be more lawns mowed. Joe and Gallagher might seem to be fighting a los ing battle against mother nature, but they never give up. Here’s a good place to mention Work Day, the day of days that happened so long ago. All that can be said about it is that fun was had by all and a lot of work was done. Oh, those poor, aching backs the day after. The O. V. H. threw a big blast after the final production of the play. iMost of the cast journeyed into Weslieyville and were the guests of Earl Schriver, Chip Chappell, Art Carroll, and Jack Hartle, for a crazy evening The speech classes at the Cen- lof chile and fun.

The 'beautiful tans on ous story across.” practically everybody on campus The most important change around the campus that this re porter has found is that Rodney Beals has a crewcuit. Everyone has remarked on how nice it looks and how more collegiate Rodney looks. Oh, excuse me! It’s not proper to say collegiate anymore. One has to say, “Terribly Varsity.” The cold weather put a bit of a damper on swimming in the pool, and just when everyone was getting in the mood for it, too. Well, the pool will come in handy for a cool dip after sweating out a final exam. “From the bluebook to the blue look!” will be the cry when exams start on May 28. Bob Gomall 'became the proud papa of an eight-pound baby boy on May 10. Bob said he plans to name the baby Robert. Even Mr.. Shields was awarded a cigar after the'big event. Comments have come from all sides about the pink and black Por'd that Gib Keinath has been driving to school. It adds color to the parking lot, and is probably a good car besides. A new roommate has been add ed to the list of girls in cell block 11. The girls call him “Dumbo, the over-grown elephant,” but every one knows he’s really a little chipmunk who lives in the room of who lives in .the room of Whit White, Pat Lentz, Muggs De- Marsh and Peg Duff. (Mr- Hopkins of the North East Breeze, the printer of the Nittany Cub, has lent Behrend Center dorm girls a retired show horse, .who answers to the name of “Gay Blade.” Gay Blade is' temporar ily living in the tool shed: next to the chem lab. The enthusiastic caretakers off the horse are Nan Johnston, Peggy Duff and John Churchill, who see to it that he is well fed and brushed daily. Max Peoples has.been threat ening to try working for the Lit Brothers in Philadelphia. This department store is one that spe cializes in women’s corsets and girdles.

Don 'Lynch, Ross Caruana, Bill Storer, and Jim iSeyiboldt are forever whacking those poor defenseless spheres around with the one and only, cue available. Well, let’s hope the cover is still on the table after they get through. At the end of every semester we get inspected by visitors, parents, and future students, who, in turn, are inspected by us. Let’s hope the next class is a good ■group like we are! No conceit! Many congratulations to the Day Tech engineers who have been coming to school neat and well-dressed due to interviews for future employment. The Duke of Windsor really gets some stiff competition for the “'best dressed” award. If you want to see a terrific picture of Sally Stauffer, take a look at the one that Mr. Patterson, math instructor, snapped of her.

Remember the first time that you saw Behrend Center in- your younger days as an awkward col lege freshman? It seems a long time ago. And now we’re leaving. College days at Behrend are over for most of us. Take one last, long look at the beautiful campus; the gorge where you spent many hours roaming through, the woods; the rustic buildings where you spent many hours, too, but not roam ing through the woods; the tobog gan slide and’ how you wished for cold weather; the swimming pool, and how you wished for warm weather; the dorm, the sound of laughing voices; Erie Hall, -and the basketball games and ping pong (we mustn’t forget ping pong); the parking -lot with all its mud; the entrance way guarded by two large posts. Well, it’s almost over now- How long ago it seems. FOR FILMS AND CAMERAS See CHARTLEY PHOTO STUDIO 3208 Buffalo Rd. MEET US AT WENDY’S DINOR Route 20 Wesleyville Phone 8-2066 Erie, Pa.

Ralph Parker left Relhrend Center on April 2 after completing his speech training. He is now working in Erie, and is planning to attend college. to study forestry. Our new student is Mary Jane Eodenbeck, an attractive blonde ■from Erie. Mary likes movies, pop ular music and homemaking. Her ambition is to study child care after leaving Behrend. Rose Hibbard, our energetic, petite basketball player, is look ing forward to a career in’ nurs ing. Her bubbling personality and her sense of humor will aid a great deal toward making her an excellent nurse. We wish the best of luck to Ethel Hcokenberry, who wants to oiwn and run a photographic studio. Her advice on how to take pictures and how to develop and print 'them has been well apprec iated. Many hours under her capable instruction have been spent in the darkroom learning the art of photography by speech clinic students. Leal tSiekafuse also has high hopes in planning for a college education. The speech clinic and many of the college students have been grateful and fortunate in having such a capable and willing chauffeur practically at their beck and call. And A 1 iStarocci still leaves us guessing 'about his card tricks. He wants to study to 'be a pro fessional fireman. If you happen ed to notice the good' looking doorman at the April Showers dance, you know who he is. He helped entertain us at intermis sion. Returning from Harrisburg is Arthur Kxeidjer, who journeyed there for corrective surgery. He is always ready to challenge any on-comer to a good game of ping pong. He serves- a wicked smash, so watch yourself! Lately, he has been frequently seen swimming, sunbathing and playing tennis.
