yourselves before you look a t it.
Everyone thought that photography
had done its worst to defense workers when it made Burkie look like
a g u n moll and Pinie Houck like
a school teacher. (Pete McClaln's
b a d g e doesn't resemble anyone b u t
Ella Cinders, incidentally.) Anyway, the photographer must have
had one horrible grudge against humanity, and h t o o k It out on
Clarkie. From now on she will be
k n o w n as "The Face".
"The Face", however, is the sunshine vitamin B capsule that Syl-vanla has been needing for a long
time, and are w e glad we've got
h e r ! Mary Curran Is another tonic
J u s t prescribed by destiny to cheer
o u r weary hours. She came tripping
.down the aisle the night she w a s
lilred Just as though she hadn't had
a n y previous experience with tbe
company. (These big words do not
m e a n that she was fired.) Another
o l d - t i m e r we're glad to see is Jessie
Von Stein. Bettie Sentelik is back,
too, and threatens to resume singi n g with Mowery and O'Neill. H e a v e n preserve us. T h a t trio has shot
more nerves t h a n any other influe n c e in the plant.
Some men will give you t h e shirts
off their backs. This could happen
to anyone, but when a man peels off
his lovely, argyl sweater just so a
certain girl can wear it the next
<iay, she must have something. It's
B e t t y Lorigan, incidentally, and I
wonder what she has. It couldn't
be her hair-do. Her "swimmingpool-coiffieur" on Mond.ay, Wednesday, and Friday, has liad the whole
plant laughing ever since second
•semester began. Poor Lorigan, not
only does she have to endure hair
like that, but also she must listen
to wise cracks about It from every
h a n d . Not that tlie things people
eay aren't Justified, oh, no! It's
j u s t the principle of t h e thing. The
front of her—ah, shall we say hair?
—would pass for an upsweep—in a
blackout. The back—well, e v e n
g r a n d m o t h e r was never like that.
Somedays it's a knot, ray friends,
and s o m e days it's a braid, b u t
whatever it is, Lorigan suffers. I
<ion't see why people don't lay off
her for a while and start to pick on
eomeone else, like Heston, for Ins t a n c e . She's another one who Is
etlll dripping when she catches the
bus to work. Please notice, however, t h a t they a r e both beautiful
on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
In d a y s , like these it is our job
to be cheerful. Square your shoulders—look up! For goodness eakes
don't look down—you might see

those c u t e white moccasins she used
to wear? They have been painted
red—brilliant, glaring red. Marty
and Loey were painting e\4erything
In their room, including Loey's
ankles, and they Just couldn't help
it. I wonder what the Indians will
say. Probably just "ugh".
Kniffin sits down in her department and spends good company time
writing original (and how!) poems
on the yellow slips with whicli she
is supposed to be ialieling the trays
of p a r t s . You may think she's a
bottle neck in the war effort, but
when t h e TIMES was sent to New
Guinea, G.I.'s poured over Knif's
feature article and asked tor more.
Get to work, Kniffin, and tell your
foreman it's for t h e boys in the foxholes.
Among ali the new Freshmen Sylvania workers (and welcome to you,
by the way, fellow-serfs) who found
their light-hearted (heli! heh!) w a y
into t h e Mounting Department, was
our old friend Dottle Holienbach.
She expected us to get as excited
over her as we did the Freshmen,
but now we a s k you, Holienbach,
how can anyone enthuse over a
m e r e transfer? Confidentially, I
think Sylvania is putting all the
college kids In one department, and
then t h e y will elimihate t h a t dep a r t m e n t f r o m the factory. It's
much easier than firing ail those
people.
Many things a r e done on the bus
on the w a y to work, squashing and

Should you notice any change In
my column I want you to know t h a t
I'm suffering from a disease quite
common to seniors: Student Teacheritis. Symptona of the disease are
a pale face, a harried look, fatigue,
and a mean disposition. I'm not
apologizing for myself or my colleagues, but statistics show t h a t
teachers get more dirty valentines
than people in a n y other profession.
Speaking of Valentine's Day, Cupid ran an arrow right In Bev Gower's heart. So Bev gave up cwllege

Lillian Conser walks around in a

course) has it that she's a spy for
tlie Lonely Hearts Club.
Things most desired but not to
be had:
Cigarettes—Lots of tbem so the
circulation of germs on one cigarette will end.
Heat—Too many people t r y to eat
their luncheon in t h e same bed I do.
You never know whose sandwich
you're eating.
Men—"No comment".
Vacations—Two days out of flve
with some form of pay.
Marks—AU A's and B's, removing
C, D, and E from t h e grading s y s tem.
Time—About t e n seconds more

What's Cookin' in Sports
By BOB

The s t a r t of the new semester
brings many new boys to school and
takes a few away. Jack Herrington
has gone home to await his call to
the Army, and G l e n n Manning
awaits induction into the Merchant
Marine. Chuck Noty has taken a
Job on the railroad, and F r a n k Yon
graduated. They are a swell bunch
of feliows and we'll miss all of
them.
Jim Cooklls and Elias George,
two of t h e new boys trom Canonsburg, are accomplished wrestlers.
George was State 135-pound champ
in 1942 and Jim was r u n n e r - u p in
the 105-pound class last year. With
these fellows and the help of Bill
Brown, Bob Weaver, Kid Royer,
Hal Zeiders, and Steve Heinrich,
we a r e trying to put out a wrestling
team. We practice every day with
Coach Jack teacliing us the 'ropes"
of t h e sport.
T h a t white streak you see going
around the field house track is Bill
Brown doing his daily mile. He was
a t r a c k m a n at Canonsburg High
School.
Volley ball has taken the place of
basketball in t h e men's gym class.
It's a good sport, but it doesn't
prove as popular as basketball. The
fellows say it isn't rough enough.

United States to compete in the various track events. He holds many

His chief opponent w i l l be Bill

Boxing—One of the biggest u p sets of the year, so far, was Lee
Orno's victory over Joe Baksl a t
Madison Square Garden. This victory makes Orno the leading contender for the heavyweight title.

Varsity Games
Scheduled
A schedule of varsity games has
been made for the girls' basketball
team. Scheduling was rather difficult because not all colleges have
teaois. but three games wiil definitely be played. They a r e :
F e b r u a r y 23, Elizabethtown a t L.
H. S. T. C ; February 28, Elizabethtown a t Elizabethtown T. C , and
March 3, Gettysburg College a t Gettysburg.
The game on February 23 will be
m either the gym or' Field House,
at 3.0O or 4:00 o'clock In the afternoon. The student body is also expected to turn out in full force.
There Is no definite line-up for
the team a s yet. Girls from the intermural teams have been practicing three times a week, and a lineup win be chosen from them.

Basketball—De Pauw, St. Johns,
