Married Veteran Wins $95
For Answer in Ad Contest
It pays to do your hoMework, decided John Crouse, Bth semester
journalism student, whe n he won $95 worth of merchandise in the
second "It's in the Ads" contest.
Crouse's answer, "The Alpha Fire Company," won him, his wife
and 15-month-old daughter five prizes.
"I was doing a journalism assignment," he said, "when I had to
check the 'History of State College' by Violet D. Hench, for some
facts. As I was looking over one
page, I glanced at the facing page
and noticed that it related the
history of the fire company."
"The date, 1001, caught my at
tention," he continued, "and after
checking the Collegian's clues, I
knew that I was on the right
track "
"Originally a cracker" fit in
w ith George T. Graham who or
ganized the company; ;"known as
a suit" fit in with the original
name of the company, the Union
Company, and the "three in one"
instructor of chemical engineer
ing.
Mrs. Ruth Hummel, David Mc-.
.ICinley, assistant professor of
economics, Edmund Umberger,
instructor of mathematics, Mrs.
Theresa Umberger, and Miss
Jeannette Wisden will perform
with Leonard Eisner, assistant
prof-ssor of physics.

company, the borough office and
the jail, all in one building.
Thespian contest winners seem
to have the inside track in nam
ing the "thing" since just as the
first winner, Alan Pottasch, was
a second prize winner in the
scenario contest, Crouse placed
first in the skit contest last month
and walked off with bhe $25 prize.
Crouse will have a difficult
time dividing the prizes since
neither his wife or daughter
smokes a Pipe or plays tennis.

marked, "and if we can get a set
of left-handed clubs, she can join
me on the course." He is an ard
ent golfer, shooting in the high
