Castio's throat. But ‘ke got evelething straightened out except I
never did get to shave that beard
"By the way, Lou, I still kept up with our Penn Staters while
I was down there and I sure was glad to see old Gene Wettstone's
boys win that championship."
1 "So were we. Joe. And our wrestling team didn't do bad, either "
"Yea. I read about that. Second place in the East, eh? Man, that
,vas great. And I toad about the basketball team, too. Man, you
almost got thrown out of toN% n with those articles you wrote."
"Weil, you know how it is. Joe," I said as Joe ran the comb
'throught my hair,
"Yea, I know." he interrupted, "sometimes a man rises above
himself. You sure gave it to ale McCoy too. Man, I saw him yester
day and was he boiling. I don't think it would be wise for you
to hang around Rec Hall anymore. Dem boys sure are burned
at you.
"Where did you get all that stupidity, anyway? From Beano
Cook" You and him are two of a kind Don't you know it's against
the law to say anything bad about Penn State? Man, you sure
are crazy."
I grinned and said: "Joe, you never change. I'm sure going
to miss you when I graduate "
"Graduate' , " he cried out " You're lucky they haven't thrown
you out already Why it's getting so that a person can't. even world
around here anymore. Too much pressure. A coach will be afraid
!to come to State for fear of getting ulcers Man, we'll be dc-empha
sizing sports before you know it."
"Cut the clowning, Joe I still have some friend',"
"I doubt that."
For a moment, the only sound emanating from the barber's
chair was that of electric clippers.
"Well, now tell me Joe, what do you think of Penn State sports
so far this spring?"
"Man, we're really flying aren't we? I'm sure sui prised at the
baseball team's peiformance—seven and one. Man, I thought we'd
,lose just about every game this year. And that track team is really
something. Why don't you write about them more often? All you
do is complain. How about writing something good""
"I admit the track team should have received more coverage,
Joe, but I let my emotional feelings get the best of me. You see, I
have sort of a misunderstanding with the track coaches."
"Misunderstanding? Man, who are you trying to kid. You're
about as well-liked by dem track coaches as camy weather."
"Joe," I said climbing off the chair. "I don't know when Ilk.
see you again, but take care of yourself. Watch that heart and
don't ever lose your Penn State spirit."
"I won't," Joe answered. "I just hope you don't."
And as I walked out of Joe's barber shop for the last time I
iheatd him cry out that familiar refrain• "Penn State forever,
imoulder of men, fight for her honor—fight—and victory again"
