Off and On the Campus
As a fitting end to the year,
the Off and On the Campus col
umn' will be written to say only
nice things about people (this is
a' move on the part of the revolu
tionists to counter-attack Chen
ne).
this year. (Dot Kaliszewski, editor,
presented the staff with the pins
at the regular journalism meet
ing. The pins are tiny gold af
fairs with the quill as a symbol
of their journalistic abilities. 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 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

name the baby Robert. Even Mr..

the'big event.

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

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

Brothers in Philadelphia. This
department store is one that spe
cializes in women’s corsets and
girdles.
Since the tennis court was

are evidence of the “beach” qual
ities of Behrend Center.
An added recreational feature
has been provided' for our avid
'billiard fans in Erie Hall. 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.
It looks so good that a portrait
painter 'couldn’t have done better.

The Story of a Horse
Peg Duff looks as though she was bom to the saddle as she
sits astride Gay Blade. Gray Blade, a former show horse, was lent
to the dorm girls for riding sessions by Mr. Hopkins, the owner
and publisher of the North East Breeze, who also prints the Nit

Remember These?
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.

Clinically
Speaking
The speech clinic has lost one
person this semester and gained
another. 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.
Cleo Bowman is especially in
terested in floriculture, and
plans to own and manage a
greenhouse. In the 'beautiful set
ting of Behrend Center, he should
be able to find plenty of speci
mens of flora-
Our navy man, Frank Ocwles,
leaves to serve Unde ©am on
June 14. We wonder if he’ll -have
time to play so much solitaire or
to solve so many jigsaw and cross
word puzzles on ship .board.
He’ll probably know (better than
the captain just where the ship
is located, since he does so well
in higher mathematics. Bon voy
age, Frank!
Frank WaHdswicz was in Har
risburg for three weeks, and re
cently has been sick, haven’t seen
too much of him. You should
honor us with your presence more
often, Frank.
Bill Bickel will- be leaving -for
the Air Force in June, and' we
still - haven’t ’ figured out how
hell "toe able -to. play his "favorite
game, golf,'in the sky. We’li just
give up the problem,' and let him
figure it out f£ae himself.'.
■' Yours' _truly- plans ; to ' attend- a
school for medical record librar
ians after leaving Behrend', and
the joins with the rest of the
speech clinic students in' saying
that we • regretfully ■ leave t he
-beauty and friendliness;-of Beh
rend'to the new-class. -
