Holiday Play
“The Long Christmas Dinner”
bv Thornton Wilden was present­
ed during the assembly period
today by the Edinboro Players.
Ninety years are traversed in
this play, and there are represent­
ed in accelerated motion ninety
Christmas dinners in the Bayand
household. The speech, business,
and manner of the actors was
colloquial and realistic so that the
production was very suggestive
and stimulated the imagination.
The following cast took part:
Sally Wilson as Lucia, Lucille
Marti as Mother Bayand, Ralph
Zindel as Roderick, Joe Spence
as Cousin Brandon, David Small
as Charles, Joyce Ryder as Gene­
vieve, Eleanor Price and Lois Ann
Rooney as the Nurses, Yvonne
Christensen as Lenora, Marie
Smith as Ermen Garde, Guy Fitch
as Sam, and Carol Davis and Dick
Hoh as Lucia II and Roderick II,
the children of Charles and Leon­

In the Marine Corps there are:
Francis Crawford, Vernon LJwnbach, George Kosanovic, and Bill

Friday, December 4, the third
annual all-college bazaar was held
in the old gymnasium. Staged for
the purpose of raising funds with
which to purchase Christmas gifts
for Edinboro men in the service
and supported by the student body,
faculty, and townspeople, the bazaai’ was the most successful ever
held. Total receipts were $180.86.
The event was sponsored by the
Class of 1945 and was under the
general chairmanship of E. Clin­
ton Stubbe. The chairman was
assisted by Merritt McIntosh and
Peggy Heim who managed the ad­
vertising and Peggy MacElroy who
managed the decorations.
Those in charge wish to express
their gratitude to all those people
whose interest made the bazaar
a success. The members of the
“E” Club wish to thank the facul­
ty, merchants, and many friends

Christmas Dance
Held By Juniors
The Annual Junior-Senior Prom
was held by the Junior Class in
the dining room of Haven Hall last
Friday evening, December 11.
Miss Helen Williams and Mr.
William Shollenberger, elected by
the student body as King and
Queen of the Prom, were crowned
during the first half of the dance
in a ceremony conducted by Junior
Class President, Jack Bonnett.
Miss Donna Bertram, Miss Bettie
M. Miller, Mr. Oliver Wester, and
Mr. Jack Mensinger were present­
ed as members of the King’s and
Queen’s Court.
Music was furnished by Herbie
Johnson and his Orchestra. Dr.
and Mrs. J. C. Johnson and Mr.
and Mrs. Royce Mallory acted as
chaperones for this, Edinboro’s
largest, annual formal dance. In
attendance were President and
Mrs. L. H. Van Houten, Dr. and
Mrs. H. S. Hiskey, Miss Janet Kel­
ley, and Mr. and Mrs. H. O. Offner.
The first floor lobby of Haven
hall was decorated in Christmas
colors while the dance hall was ar­
ranged in a “white Christmas”
motif. In one corner of the dance
hall stood a huge, lighted Christ­
mas tree. Facing the improvise

Christmas Banquet
Is Held Sunday
The annual Christmas Banquet
was held in the Haven Hall dining
room, Sunday, December 12.
In Elinor Sebring’s absence,
Peggy Heim was social chairman
of the affair, and made arrange­
ments for table reservations for
on-campus students. Helping her
were Peggy McElroy, Marie Kardosh, and Helen Hansen. Marjorie
Hall took care of table reserva­
tions for off-campus students.
The Freshmen Class, in accor­
dance with past tradition, decor­
ated the parlors and dining room
of Haven Hall under the chair­
manship of Louise Hodnick.
Each table made their own
centerpiece and placecards, and a
prize was given to the table with
the most attractive decoration. The
waiters acted as judges.

Class President, should have something to offer. If the seniors aren’t
all doing their student teaching, Eugene Billings could produce a very
interesting show. We’d enjoy a skit which might be reminiscent of
events in the history of the class of ’43. Then there are the presi­
dents of the two fraternities and of the Alpha Deltas who are the
leaders of well organized groups and who could get their members
at work on the matter of assembly programs. We could go on
with a lengthy list which would include June Hostetler the head

Congratulations are extended to
Mr. and Mrs.' G. Wallace Hills,
who were married in the home
of Mr. Charles P. Devlin, Wednes­
day, November 25. Mr. and Mrs.
Hills took a short trip following
the ceremony which was per­
formed by the Rev. Dewey Long
and then moved into their apart­
ment in the Hopkins Gift Shop
building.
We are proud of one of our
members who graduated last year
and who recently received his
commission as a lieutenant in the
U. S. Marines. We refer to Roy
Christensen. Roy expects to leave
the continent soon.
Since our three sailor members
are graduating at the end
of the semester we’d, like to take
this chance to say a word about
them.
First, there’s Warren Anna.
Warren could be designated as the
“smooth” individual of the sen­
ior class. A very good dancer, an
intelligent conversationalist and
possessed of a friendly nature,
Warren is at home in any sort
of a group. For some time, War­
ren has been active on the Spec­
tator staff. As an advertising man­
ager of last year’s Conneauteean,
Warren did a commendable job.
As a member of the Edinboro
Players, Warren’s executive abil­
ity has stood him in good stead.
Our second senior member is
Eugene Billings. “Jeep”, as he
is known is now serving as Presi­
dent of the senior - class. Often
hard to locate, when finally lo­
cated, Jeep proves to be very con­
genial company. A hard work­
ing friendly individual, Eugene’s
place is going to be a hard one
to fill.
Oliver Wester is the third sen­
ior Phi Sig. “Wes” holds the most
important student position on
campus by serving as president
ol the Student-Faculty Coopera­
tive Government council. A form­
er inmate of the house of Warner.
Oliver moved into Reeder Hall
for his last term.

A pleasant experience and many
nice gifts were received at the
