PAGE TWO
Frothy Aspirants Resemble
Aggregation of Evil Spirits
Anyone peering into the windoW of 110 Electrical Engineering
Building Wednesday night might have thought the evil spirits were
assembled for a meeting.
' Men with expressions of great joy, surprise, and terror were
jumping high in the air with their hands clasped above their heads,
and tumbling on the floor. A Lion was walking around on two feet.
It wasn't a witch dance, how
ever, but the Frothy tryouts. The
contestants were being judged on
the way they made their en
trances; how they performed im
promptu dances and took deli
berate falls; the way they worked
with Alex Gregal, the Nittany
Lion, and what they could do to
attract attention, such as playing
an imaginary football game.
When asked why they wanted
to be Frothy, some of the con
testants replied that they liked
to cheer and have fun. Others said
they were always making fools
of themselves someplace and
might as well do it in front of a
crowd.

he is "just another one of those
characters you find around cam
pus."
Heckel, a sophomore from Lan
caster, is in dairy husbandry. He
was a cheerleader for three years
in high scho'cil and captain of the
tumbling team in his senior year.
As a Frothy contestant he'seemed
at ease both when jumping around
and tumbling and when talking
to the judges. A tall, gangling
redhead, Heckel was described by
one of the judges as "someone
the wind blew in."
Frothy was started several years
ago, no one seems to know exact
ly when, as a promotion- stunt for
Froth magazine. In 1948, James
Dunaway took over as Froth pro
motion director and also as
Frothy. Beside „appearing a t
games, Dunaway, ran up and
down the mall on "Froth Day,"
pulling a little red wagon and sell
ing Froth.
