    STRIKES and SPARES
By Ross Caruana
Another season of bowling is
over and there are new champs to
be crowned. The Stars put on a
late Inning rally and came out on
top by only one point. Going into
the last three games of the season,
the Stars were three games up on
the Raven’s who were in second
place. But the Ravens still had to
contend with a very determined
faculty. At the end of the three
games, Thurbon and company
came out in second place taking
the points from Ravens, thus giv
ing the Stars the championship.
The Stars team consisted of Earl
Schriver, Wally O’Neal, Marshall
Werner, Ross Caruana, and Laurie
Hill.
It ws a very even league with
many close games and there were
many good individual games.
* Dorm Chatter *
By Marilyn Pringle
As this issue of the Cub goes to
press, we all have great hopes
that spring is arriving in dreary
Erie. However, everyone is afraid
to mention this thought for fear
of causing another blizzard. But
April will get here eventually and
with its coming one can notice
the change in the dorm girls. The
girls’ fancies are turning to
thoughts of that many splendored
thing . . . Love. With this in mind
it is understandable why Harriet
is floating around on cloud seven
whenever Dick appears.
.. Since Dot has resigned the Phi
Steady Staters she has been de
voting her time to Gannon. Of
course with Marilyn’s undying
love and devotion to Arthur, we
see Gannon is gaining much???
A bulletin has just arrived that
Connie has also pledged Gannon
boys as males of the year. How do
these boys-rate?
Janie has just returned from
spending a happy weekend at
home. Could be a certain male
was the cause of her extra radi
ant face.
What is this game called “woof
woof?” Anita seems to know all
the rules, even how ladies 70-odd
can and do play the game in
front of Shea’s Theater.
Gretch is tired of the Phi Steady
Staters and is moving on to big
ger and better things. Congratu
lations!
With the melting of the snow,
we see that Judy has turned to
her first love . . . golf.
Hey, Bev, what does the Air
Force have that Behrend lacks?
Congratulations, Becky! (She,
too, is a member of the Phi Steady
Staters). Why so'long in telling
the good news??
Good luck to Bonnie and Annie
in the Miss Erie contest. These
sharp coeds are bound to succeed.
The Home Ec. girls are busy
again. Elaine, La La, Laurie, ana
Nancy are hard at work on then
latest creations.
Cliffie will welcome his leading
lady this weekend as Linda is
busily packing for another week
end at State.
“The radio from the dorm is
blaring, out some of the girls’
theme songs. Is that Sue singing
“Tease Me But Don’t Squeeze
Me”? Here comes Barbara dedi
cating “Come Down From Your
Ivory Tower” to Big John. Laurie
Brutout is dancing around and
humming “Am I In Love?” Nancy
is undecided again. That must be
why she. is singing “Change Part
ners.” The radio is turned down
Jack Curll put on a fine exhi
bition one night when he came up
with a 211 game which was good
for the high men’s game... Jack
also had a 204 game earlier. Mr.
Thurbon came in second with a
206 followed by Mr. Beal with a
204.
The high individual average
goes to Mr. Thurbon with a 174
average. Second ■to Mr. Thurbon
was Earl Schriver with a 162 aver
age.
Congratulations are due to one
Bob Bainbridge for making the
4, 7 and 10 split. It takes pretty
good rolling to make that one.
A lot of credit also goes to oar
two league secretaries namely
Alice Darwin and Nancy Hender
shot. They did a= wonderful job
keeping everyone posted on the
standings - and averages.
SPORT
SCOPE
By Raleigh Chesley
Spring s here? As' bowling Is
slowly fading ' out" we see Mr.
Thurbon, Earl Shriver and Jack
Curll leading the top of the bowl
ing list with a very successful
season. .
Softball is now breezing in along
with the April • wind. Everyone
who’ is interested in getting to
gether a softball’ team had better
get on the jump. Each boy plan
ning on turning in a team hnij
better turn his list in to Mr. Sim
on within the next' few days.
Even though Mr. Beal has already
been selected, there are still sever
al good players available.
The pool table has certainly
made a hit with the student body
by occupying their precious time.
A tournament has been started
by a few. of the “pool.sharks” and
is coming along nicely. Some of
the boys are .very unruly when it
comes to handling the pool table
equipment and no not appreciate
what we now have. If this pool
table is to be kept in shape cer
tain boys .will have to take care
of it better than they have been.
Another sport that everyone is
waiting for is swimming. If the
pool isn’t ready before long we
think Frank Schiller might Just
possibly go crazy. We don’t think
he will go quite that far with
workday this Tuesday. The camp
us will be in ship-shape and look
ing its best after that eagerly an
ticipated day.
now, and all that can be heard is
Laurie Hill “Moaning The Blues.”
What is the latest mode of
transportation for the dorm girls?
Ask Janie, as she is president of
this .newly formed club. Speaking
of clubs, it seems four of the dorm
girls have taken up golf and foim
ed a club. This isn’t unusal, but
their golf course is. Isn’t that
true, girls?
Eileen is floating up. to cloud 7
to join Harriet.- -Her-reason' is a
tall, handsome guy with a ; ’dimple
in his chin.
What is our frivolous gal' Sal
doing these days? It seems she is
stepping out on us.
The phone has just rung and a.
voice in the distance--is -saying,
Who is it? What do you what?
Huh? That must be the voice of
“Mole”.'
Till next time ...
Compy’s Cuti es
Perhaps you’ve seen the -girls
from Physical Education classes
coming out limping and aching?
They’ve been doing co-ordination
exercises, which isn’t easy. I was
informed that some of those lucky
girls are ■ performing for the
Mothers’ Day Tea, held in May.
We’ve had an exciting bad
minton tournament this season,
with Anne Pagel ' and Marilyn
Pringle the winning partners. On
our accuracy tests in badminton,
Anne Pagel, with 17 shots out of
20, emerged the winner so far.
Marilyn Pringle, is second, with
14 out of 20.
With all the beautiful weather
due us soon, we hope, most of the
girls are anxiously awaiting their
first dip in the pool, except,
among other people; Anita For
mati. Compy will certainly have
a rough time , teaching some of us.
Now. that the Girls’ Basketball
season is over, I think the' girls
deserve a round of thanks for
their efforts. Their record wasn’t
iamything sensational, but at least
they tried, and were good sports
about the whole thing. ’We know
it was rough with all the study
ing (?) you had to get done.
‘ The classes wish you a speedy
recovery, Compy. You’re certainly
had your share of bad luck, with
mumps and all.
Hep With Hap!
During these balmy spring days
at Behrend, Marshall • “Hap”
Werner has - been reminiscing
about spring in Tokyo. Hap serv
ed as a corporal in Japan from
1953 until 1955, working in radio
securities. Since he worked at
night, he was able- to spend his
days in "the Tokyo sunlight.
Among the many- pleasant past
times available to the U. S. ser
viceman in Japan- is golf. A
unique feature of the Japanese
golf courses is their employment
of female caddies: Perhaps this is
a disadvantage, however, for Hap
reports that his score was general
ly well- in the hundreds.
The hardy Japanese race, many
of whom live on the equivalent of
about twenty-five U. S. dollars a
month, none the less manage to
greet life with enthusiasm. Their
national sport, baseball. Is enjoy
ed by nearly everyone and is play
ed throughout the year. Hap says
that he frequently saw Japanese
office and factory workers engag
ed in a game of catch on the
Tokyo streets during their 'lunch
hours.
We will admit that spring at
Behrend is cloudy, but for Hap
Werner, at least, the days are
brightened with his memories of
sunny Japan.

* CHIEFLY CHATTER +
By “Chief’ Thomas
Here comes that Chief again, al
ways- looking-for stuff for his
Chenne column. I really don’t
write this column; it’s ghost writ
ten by Dr. Smith. My second can
didate for Chenne (often Judy) is
not Bob O’Connor or Dick Jef
fords. It’s none other than your
friend, and. mine, Long John Mal
lory. How do 1 come to such a
conclusion, you ask. And I say to
you '. . . simple. Which is only
natural' considering my simple
mind, but anyway, after the last
issue of the Cub ... in which
there was-no'Chenne, you remem
ber ... Jackie and Gibbie (fine
fellows) got the-idea that a sepa
rate column should be put up, . . .
And on the Bulletin boards yet!

year the team will possibly play
Gannon, Slippery Rock, Alliance,
and Allegheny. Monday, April 30,
the team will play Gannon at the
Lake Shore Golf Course, May 17,
they will play a return matcn
with Gannon, and May 10 the
team will travel to Meadville to
play in the Tri-State Tourna
ments. Last year the team, placed
9 out of 13 with Bainbridge
number 3 and Liebau number 8.
Members -of the team have ex
pressed hopes that the team will
be stronger this year than in the
past.
All of this so that you, the op
pressed and downtrodden, might
be aware of all the little secrets
that go on at our fair (?) school.
This was merely their little way of
bringing Chenne to everyone,
whether it’s in the Cub or not.
And now our literary and poetic
tid-bit:
There was an old woman
Who lived in a shoe.
She had so many children
She didn’t know what to do.
