Organist Doubles
As Wood Carver
George peiga, Chapel organist and assistant professor of music,
used chisels and gouges at first when he did his wood carving,
but he was forever cutting his hands. And since hands are pretty
important to an organist, Ceiga got an electric drill and pursued his
most fascinating hobby with a new vengeance,

Pugh & nouv'N' State College
By HELEN LUYBEN
Ceiga has produced an attic-full
of wood carvings and that's where
he hides them now. In days gone
by, though, the carvings knew
more prominent showcases. They
were displayed by Marshall Fields
department store in Chicago, and
were photographed in some of the
first experiments with color pho
tography by the University of Chi
cago. Several years ago they were
displayed in the ?attee Library
as one of the.exbibits in a profes
sors' hobby show.
, Capitalizes on Mistakes
Most of the carvings are of
human figures. They are done in
soft white pine and are painted
in bright temperas. Ceiga was
asked what he did when his hand
slipped .while he was. carving, to
which he replied, "I capitalize on
my mistakes. I just change a. ges
ture here or there and it usually
works out a lot better than be
fore!"
One of his largest works is of a
choir procession whi c h begins
with a jolly fat priest and pro
ceeds by stairway down a column
of angel-faced choir boys to the
very shortest cherub of all.
- Ceiga has managed to record
the depression period of the 1930's
in his group carving of a WPA
project. This one shows a group
of men leaning on picks and shov
els, tearing up a beautiful, smooth
roadbed and replacing it with one
of rough cobblestone,
4ernembers Prohibition
The me mor y of Prohibition
days is preserved in Ceiga's figure
of a man sitting by a homemade
still with a glass held under its
nozzle to catch the last drop of
whiskey from the barrel,
Up in that attic also is the bux
om soprano pictured, her mouth
wide she strains for high C,
while her accompanist half rises
from the piano stool as though to
assist her. There are the micro
phone-hugging crooner, the snake
charmer and his snake, and the
fat woman on the knock-kneed
horse. All of them are coated with
dust that has dulled their bright
colors.
Ceiga doesn't boast about them,
He explains the comic carvings
with a shrug of his shoulders, say
ing, "I just have a perverted sense
of humor, I guess."
Influenced by Disney
In addition to .his original carv
ings, the organist has made a copy
of the organ that Sleepy the
dwarf plays in Walt DiSney's
"Snow Whit e and the Seven
Dwarfs." The organ, if you re
member, has seven elaborate
pipes. "I went to the movie seven
times to get the details of each
pipe," he said. "Finally I wrote
to Mr. Disney, and he was kind
enough to send 'me four drawings
from which I could copy it." .
Ceiga is from Whiting, Indiana.
Before coming to Penn State, he
taught at the American Conserva
tory in Chicago and was organist
for the - city's Episcopal churches.
This church work was the in
spiration
for not only the carving
of the choir procession but for
the carvings on a child's altar'
in the Sunday school rooms of a
Chicago church. The altar shows
the head of Christ with two chil
dren's faces below Him.
