Rosebrock: Man on the Field
Dram Major
BuiSds Spirit
“I’m like the cherry topping on an-ice cream .sundae."
~ That’s the: way ’ Charles A. Rosebrock (7th-political
-science-Wantagh,. N.Y.) sees himself in relation tb the
■musicians in the, fast-stepping- Perin State Blue Band. Rose
brock, 20, is the Blue Band druih major.
“My job,” he explained, “is to be, the band director’s
' man bn.the field. I keep the’ others in the band psyched
• up, keep-their spirits high, keep the formations working,
and do very little twirling.
■ “I purposely do not twirl so' the fans can enjoy the
music without , distraction,” he said. •
Rosebrock divides his extra-curricular-time three ways: -
‘ , 'Thva drum,major in the fall and a track man in
the spring.
Following 1 a career as sprinter and broad-jumper in
which he established "records in his high school league,
Rosebrock has become a for the Lions. ,
“I’ll let you 1 in on a little secret,’’ he said. “I was
never a drum major until my senior year in high school.
That year I put away my horn.
PSU Tryout
“When I came to Penn State, I found that the band
director, Dr. James Dunlop, needed a new drum major.
I applied for the position with half, a dozen others. Frank
ly, I was worried about my-lack of experience,” he said.
"Now that I’m in my third year as drum major, I can sa^ 1 ;
that l.was really happy to have been selected,” he said.'
Rosebrock has never dropped his baton in a Pehn
State game.,-During the Pferin State-Boston' College-game
this fall, a friend bet that he ( would drop.it. Charlie re
ported that he was so confident after successfully com
pleting one magnificent flip of, the rod that he did 1 .an
other to insure winning the bet, "
Three out of Four
“I tell people that I drop the baton three of every
four times 1 flip it,” tie' quipped. “Luckily, those three are
in practice sessions,” he added.
•‘The blue-eyed, blond-haired Rosebrock is wbrking’to
wardlaw school. .
As a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon,, he is chairman
of. his fraternity’s rush committee.- .
During his sophomore year he., served as president
of. Delphi, men’s'honorary society.
. How does it feel to be drum major? - ■ " ...
. , “Well, I was on the field ne&r Rip Engle, Penn State’s
retire*} head football coach who was made an honorary
member of the Blue Band during the Boston College game, ’
Charlie said. “When Mr. Engle was introduced, the roar of
the crowd was tremendous. It made my spine tingle.
“That’s how I feel every, time I .blow the whistle and
lead'the Band onto the field.”

. Itdoesdl thswdrk,
but on Saturday night which one goes to the party?
- Once upon a time there was an ugly.little bug.
It could go about 27 miles on’just one gallon 'of gas.
It could go about 40,000 miles on just, one set of
tires. And it could park in tiny little crevices no big
ger than a bug.
It was just right for taking father to.the train pr
the children to school. Or for faking mother to the
grocery store, .drugstore, dime store and all the
enchanting places mothers go when everyone else
) ' iswbrking. ■ . ...
• The ugly little bug was just like one of the family.
' . t But alas, if wasn’t beautiful.
. \ . So for any important occasion the poor ugly'
little, bug would be replaced.. By a big beautiful
chariot, drawn by 300 horsesl . ; -.-
Then, after a time, a curious- thing happened.,
' THe ugly little bug (which was made very sturdily)
n'evergotuglier. But the big beautiful cHariof didn’t
- exactly get more beautiful. In fait, in a few year?
■ its beauty Begqn to fade. Until, 16 and behold, the
' Ug'lylittlebugdidn’tlpokasuglyasthebigbeautiful
chariot! The moral being: if you want to show
you've gotte’n jomawhere, get a-big beautiful
. ; chariot. But if yoii. simply want to get somewhere,
get a bug.
