Page Pour Mr. Gallagher, Gardener,Handy- Man, Friend Among the more pleasant and familiar faces known to the stu dents and faculty of the Behrend campus is that of Mr. Hugh Gal lagher, general handyman, gard ner, and landscape artist of the campus. Many enjoyable moments have been shared by both the students and Mr. Gallagher in conversations covering an innum erable number of subject's. Mr. Gallagher was born an un disclosed number of years ago in Costello, Pennsylvania. He came to Erie in 1925 and worked for some time as a cabinetmaker at the now extinct Gloeckler Cabinet Shop. He began working at Behrend in the fall of 1948, before if had been converted for use as a college, and has worked here since then. His interest in gardening and floral work is partly an explan ation for his present work. For several years he had a number of greenhouses behind his home in which he spent much of his spare time. During this time, he did much commercial work, also, such as creating floral arrange ments for weddings, funerals, and other occasions. At present, only one of these greenhouses still remains, but Mr. Gallagher con tinues to spend much of his time there. During this interview . , he was reminded of a time when the Behrend Campus was beautifully decorated with a number of lovely and exquisite flower gardens. Sadly, he recalled how they were eventually torn up and replaced by a more easily maintainable lawn. Among his other talents, Mr. Gallagher is an experienced ice and roller skater, enjoys skiing, and is an avid fan of stock car racing. A self-made philosopher and consultant, he is married and the father of four boys. One of his sons, Joe, is himself a Penn State student at the main cam pus. Mr. Gallagher's fame, however, has not been limited to the stu dents of Behrend alone, As one television repairman aptly com mented, "When you think of Behrend, you just naturally think of Gallagher."

By Dave Maynard The Behrend Players presented The Valiant, a one act play by Holworthy Hall and Robert Middlemass, two weeks ago during the Common Hour. There were approximately one hundred and fifty students present at the pre sentation. All seemed very im pressed by the portrayal. The scene was the warden's office in the state's prison at Wethersfield, Connecticut, and the time was somewhere near eleven on a rainy night. After the scene opens you realize that the prisoner, James Dyke, played by John Thompson, had ap parently killed a man or that he was protecting someone by offer ing himself for execution. As the play progressed, the audience began to wonder if maybe James Dyke wasn't the brother of Josephine Paris, por trayed by Juyne Kaupp, whom she hadn't seen for ten years or so. Josephine came to see the prisoner, who actually recognized her as his sister, but would not admit it to her. Other characters in the play were Warden Holt, characterized by William Storer, and Father Daly, played by Dave Craley. These characters set the scene and the plot of the play by how they presented their lines and by their stage actions. The cast was com pleted by Richard Wohlgemuth playing Dan and James Runzo portraying the attendant. The stage crew was composed of William May, Joseph Sostarich and Arden Kunkel. The make-up artist was Mary Ann Kennedy and the assistant director was Mary Jean Ferguson. The play was directed by Mr. Benjamin A. Lane. Science Teachers Workshop Held at Behrend April 26 Behrend Campus will act as host for the eleventh annual science teachers' workshop to be held on Thursday, April 26, in Erie Hall.
