Gleanings from
the Bulletin
Boards

On the Palette Classics to Jazz
—
Bugs! Bugs! Bugs! — Plaid
shirts, smeared jeans, rumpled
smocks, and loafers — That’s what
the best dressed “bugs” of the
year wear. As a means of expla­
nation it might be well to explain
that this is the fashion parade of
art students treking back to Love­
land Hall each Monday evening.
All art students of the college are
members of an organization known
as the ScaRab Club. This group
takes it name from a species of the
bug family. (Comes the dawn!)

As was intimated before, this
club meets under the guidance of
Mr. Bates each Monday evening.
The purpose — for the furtherance
of the art interests of its members.
All facilities of the art department
are available on this one night of
the week. Students are encouraged
to escape from the everyday duty
of assignments to indulge in a bit
of self-expression — be it in oils,
pastpls, watercolors, or even mod­
eling and jewelry making. The
club is not entirely limited to art
students; other students who have
a hobby in this field are welcome
to attend.
The Big Bug, (or president) of
the organization. Bill Frazier, con­
ducted a “get-together meeting”
on September 30th to discuss plans
for the semester’s program. The
members have decided to work
from student models again this
year. The program of the future
looks like a lot of fun artistically.
Through the efforts of a publicity
committee, the art department, and
particularly the ScaRab Club, of
Edinboro College will be more
widely known through home news­
papers and the Erie papers.

Our campus is not without its
musical interests. We can present
anything from Mu Kappa Comma,
the music fraternity, through Mix­
ed Chorus, Mixed Ensemble, Band
and Orchestra, and even include a
dance band. The Mu Kappa Com­
ma is planning a “Get-Together
Party and Picnic Supper” at the
home of Mrs. Campbell, on Octob­
er 19. This party will also include
the alumni of the organization.
This honorary music fraternity
has chosen LeVieve Obert as presi­
dent; Romaline Hall, secretary;
and Wilma Jean Steadman, treas­
urer.
If you hear a group of mixed
voices sounding and resounding
over campus, it will be the Mixed
Chorus. Mrs. Campbell has en­
larged this organization to in­
clude over one hundred voices. The
first social event on their agenda
was a weiner roast, held at Green
Point on October 4, 1946.
Umm—what a treat is in store
for audiences in the district! The
famed traveling “Ensemble” of last
year has recently added six male
voices — making a total of 15
members. Their first adventure
in this year’s entertainment will
be at the Franklin Women’s Club
at Franklin, Pa., on November 5,
1946.
Not all of our music talent is
vocal, however. The nucleus of the
Band and Orchestra has already
been formed — but — these groups
need more musicians. This is a
gentle hint and an urgent plea:
P-l-e-a-s-e, musicians (or players
of instruments) unveil your talents.
Nearest and dearest to the hearts
of us all is the dance band. This
fusion of Harry James and Glenn
Miller is.about to make its presence
known. Better get set for some fun
when the big night arrives!

It is a national educational frater­

without italics is an understate­

education in itself. Witness the
high intelligent foreheads of our

instance, has very little padding
left on top. Witness the keen pene­
trating eyes, if you ever find them
open, of Vice President Byron
Masters. And if you want to wit­

the “Bald Eagle.”

We really missed old E. S. T. C.
this summer and are glad to be
back! It’s so good to see all the old
and the new faces. Thanks to the
Y. W., we really did get acquainted
at their Big and Little Sister Tea.

year we discovered things as us­

Edinboro’s new bowling alley is

need now is for the movie to open

that friend of Posy’s who can’t sit

. . , The "Abilees” had a swell time
over the weekend at Pep’s cottage.
They came back (believe it or not)

that the freshmen girls are getting
fond of Edinboro and have already
begun practicing that old habit of

are also very glad to congratulate
the fine sportsmanship of the
freshman squad of initiates, who
performed so nicely — marching
around the campus! .... \Ve re­
member the difficult times we had
last year—whoops! But that was
last year, and we are looking for­

front of us looms another funpacked year, with maybe a little
studying now and then. We find
that then has become now; so, so
long till next time!

DELTA PHI DELTS PLAN
YEAR'S ART ACTIVITIES

Meetings will be conducted each
Monday evening so thqt the mem­
bers may concentrate on some pro­
ject for the improvement of the
quality of their work. These will
be the same hour as those of the
ScaRab Club, and some coopera­
tive efforts may be made.

Delta Phi Delta, honorary art
fraternity of the campus, met on
Monday, September 30, at the
home of Miss Skinner, the advisor.
The meeting was conducted by
Harold Schlindwein, the president.
Plans for the coming year were
discussed and it was decided that
new members should be pledged
twice this year.
To be eligible for membership
in this national organization, one
must be an art student with at
least three semesters of work fin­
ished. Art grades must be of a B
average or above, and other sub­
jects C average or higher. Eligible
students will be considered at the
next meeting.

GLEETON’S

Plans for an exhibition of work
by the members of Delta Phi Del­
ta and its pledges were discussed,
and a social affair, probably a
dance, will be sponsored later in
the year.
