(Editor's Note: This is the last editorial of the
oklitor's college career. It winds up a semester of
(Kilts all' aimed to fulfill the Collegian's policy
"For A Better Penn State.")
To Thy Memory
"Where the vale of old Mount Nittany,
Meets the Eastern sky
Proudly stands our Alma Mater,
On her hilltop high."
Those were the words which stirred us when
'Nye first set bewildered feet. on Penn State. They
,were the words which made us feel that here was
.)nore than grass and buildings. That was our first .
(inkling—that night when all we green frosh-.got
logether and sang and -theered the Lion. That
night we lost that lonely, strange feeling and took
*one stet) into what lies behind Penn State.
- We wore our customs, our green bows, We
:Lipped our • clinks when a bully yelled "Button."
-And we were the culprits . who threw the eggS at
*he "toe-nail biting" hatmen, yet looking to the
flay when we could be hatmen.
We felt then that our turn to attend the big
-dances would be a long way
, off. We swapped
Stories with our classmates going through Hell
Week; we took our share of orders from the.up
perclassmen—all the while complaining about it,
,never stopping to think what we were going
:through, or how we'd regard it later.
And so we went on through college, later turn
ing the tables on the frosh. We went out for ac
:tivities, aiming for the top spot; working for one
thing, attaining it, then seeking - further • heights.
Now we're going to leave Penn State. We're
'going to leave behind those Old Main chimes, the
.willow tree, that view up the mall, the fraternity,
.the pals from all corners of the state, the wet
dance weekends, the football games, Penn week
end, the fast step c-f the Blue Band, frosh hazings,
I.eo rally bonfires, the heated political campaigns,
.gossip about pinnings, Penn State bull sessions—
'
%wen the fraternity brawl.
. It won't be long now. Less than two weeks to
make all the things count which we . never appre
ciated before. Less than two weeks to absorb as
much of Penn State as we can—two weeks to
walk arcund campus and dig up all those mem
ories of what seems like yesterday.
Penn State is where •we put the best years of
4.lur lives. Penn State. That's the place where
rome of us had the chance 'to work our way to an
education; where there were jobs for those who
)leeded them;
...where the fellow working his way
through college was admired, not - frowned on;
where the students had a strong voice in what the
college did and. thus prepared for life through
many means not in books.
Soon we too will stroll across the stage, get a
diploma in one hand, a handsha,ke in the other,
while all sorts of emotions grip us inside as we try
•ic'e grasp what it is we're leaving: •
And as we ride down the highway from Penn
fltate for the last time and see that:tower gracing
The sky as it fades from view, perhaps we'll think
of the chorus of that song we learned when we
were wearing green—just yesterday.
"Flag we love, Blue and White!
Float for aye, Old Penn State, o'er the.e
May thy sons be leal and loyal
To thy memory,"

Everybody seems to have heard that this is th,e
laq week of publication before Uncle Sammy
really takes a crack at the ratio, so we won't go
into that. At this, point people seem to be getting
their final kicks in with the campus strewn with
nature-lovers. Maybe Grounds and BUildings
thought of that when they distributed the subtle
signs hereabouts.
What a Life
Romance has finally taken a turn for the better,
it seems, with local yokels getting tied down be
fore the great exodus. Morton Hocks • and Sylvia
Milberg, sdt, tied the old knot recently . . . 'tis
rumored that lady-killer Hank Yeagley, phidelt,
will settle down for good when he and Gladys
Beck, kappa, take the vows May 8 . . . Al Crab
tree, teke, will take himself a wife—Phyllis Wat
kins, clg—two houra before he gets his sheepskin.
That's really timing it . Doris Dunkle, whose
engagement was announced recently, wants it
known who the lucky man is—Richard F.'Markel
'43 . . . Bill BroWn, thetachi, gave Mickey White
•a hunk of rock . . . and Jane Cron is also flashing
a diamond from her home-town love . . . Then, in
the lesser leagues, there are a few pinnings to :re
port. Seems like The Cub and associates have
slipped up on one job for a long time, but better
late than not at all—Bill Portman, delt, and Sally
Myers, kappa, held out on us for a long time . . .

Here anal There
Members of the armed forces seem! to be drift
ing into town again—they just can't-keep away
from the old place. Helen Schmeltz is planning
to do her bit for morale building when Jimmy
Leyden, former Thespian song writer and BMOC,
arrives May 5 in his Air Corps zoot suit . . . For
mer Judicial chairman, women's editor of this rag,
etc., Jeanne. Stiles is back for the weekend in
uniform, too—ensign in the WAVES . . . Fellow
columnist , Chervenak commented on the fact yes
terday that some profs are inciting viomen's de
bate squads. If it isn't true, don't blame him; the
makeup man just left out a few necessary lines of
type. Blame it on the gremlins . . The Air Corps
boys, to say nothing of regular students, seem to
be enjoying the warm Weather, especially when
the sun's out and coeds take to sun bathing. Have
you seen all the neat tans around already? . . .
All wolves and wolfesses ought to have a hep
time tonight at the Backstage Canteen in the
Armory . . . Well, kids, this has been the last bit
of drivel a lot of you will be reading. The Cub
doesn't believe in getting sentimental, but good
luck and all that stuff. And don't think it isn't
going to be queer around here from now on.
Just Sentimental
There was a story about a man who, : having
been bitten by a mad dog and having contracted
hydrophobia, called his lawyer to his hospital bed.
The lawyer asked if his client wished to make out
his last will and testament.
"No," replied the patient, "I just want to make
out a list of people I want to,
Spending these. last few days at Penn State, we
megan to feel the same way although not having
hydrophobia. •
Our biting list included only one class of people
—all who from the broad aspect disapprove of
Penn State.
Sorry—just .sentimental
