The next number on the College
Entertainment course will be pre­

ium Monday evening, January 13, at
8:00 o’clock.
In connection with the concert,
Carl Lamson, pianist, will relate to
the audience some experiences of
twenty years touring with Kreisler,
Melba and Farrar. Also, Mr. Web­
ster, ’cellist, will make chatty com­
ments about the compositions to be

“Where Are We Going?” is the
topic to be discussed by the Honor­
able Phil LaFollette, Governor of
Wisconsin, when he is scheduled to
speak in the college auditorium Fri­
day evening, January 17, at 8:00
o’clock.
The thirty-four-year-old Governor
has been in touch with all modes of
living. He began life on a farm.
From there he moved to the execu­
tive mansion of Wisconsin when his
father was elected governor.

One of the most fashionable af­
fairs of the college season took place
last Saturday, January 11, when the
Alpha Delta sorority held a dinner
and dance in Haven Hall in honor of
their newly initiated members, Irene
Smith, Loretta Walz, Donna Webb,
Mildred Wilkins, and Lucille Zinker.
There were cries of “Oh” and “Ah”
as the party stumbled into the dining
room and beheld a table, exquisitely
laid with the dining room’s fine china.
Light was furnished for the purpose
of chasing the peas about the plate
by twenty half-used candles which
had been cut off to afford uniform
height.
When the thirty-four members had
eaten their fill-, the president, Jane
Zahniser, striking in a braid, two
hair clips, and a dress, rose and in­
troduced the faculty adviser, Miss
Forness, whose wrinkled old crepe
was displayed to perfection while,she
discoursed with oratorical fervor on
“Love, Friendship and Service.”
She was prompted by Miss Baron,
who was attired in a black velvet,
because it was the only dress she has
and because she is of a size which
prohibits borrowing another. Show­
ing much more nervousness than the
speaker was Miss Wilson, whose dis­
comfort was augmented by the fact
that at the last moment she had been
unable to decide which of her last
year’s gowns to wear and had, logic­
ally, therefore, worn both.
The scene for the dance was equal­
ly breath-taking. Decorations con­
sisted of expensive crepe paper wrap­
ped about the six center lights. It
was originally planned to help the
administration economize by using
no lights, but the dean would not hear
to such sacrifice. At one end of the
hall a log fire blinked whose glow
threw kind shadows on the organiza(Continued on Page Four)

LOCAL Y. M. PRESIDENT
ATTENDS CONCLAVE
Mr. Earl Zimmer, president of the
local Y. M. C. A., was one of three
thousand delegates who attended the
W orld-wide Twelfth Quadriennial
Convention of the Student Volunteer
Movement, held in Indianapolis from
December 28 through January 1.
This convention was sponsored by
the Student Volunteer Movement,
which is composed of two groups of
members, those who have pledged
themselves to serve in the foreign
mission field, and those who are in­
terested in understanding and aiding
the movement but who have no inten­
tion of serving abroad.
The greater portion of the three
thousand students, representing over
five hundred colleges and universities
from all over the globe, were mem­
bers of closely allied groups such as
the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A.
Mr. Zimmer stated that the main
objectives of this conclave were to
show the need of missions, both in
this country and abroad, and also to
make the students of the nation more
world conscious.
These objectives were achieved
through group meetings at which such
speakers as the Arch Bishop of York,
Dr. T. Z. Koo, of China, and Toyohiko
Kagawa, illustrious Japanese leader
led the discussions. Seminars in
smaller groups discussed definite top­
ics which are of interest to young’
people seemed to attract the dele­
gates more than anything else.
Mr. Zimmer spent considerable
time with the Latin American group
which was made up of a hundred per­
sons, three-fourths of whom had
spent some time in Latin America.
Some of these people needed interpretators in order to carry on any
discussion.
Two striking observa­
tions which our representative made
during these sessions was that Mexico
is distinctly afraid of what she calls

EDINBORO TEACHERS COLLEGE PRESENTS OLD ENGLISH FESTIVAL
By John Swift
With all the splendor that was
medieval England, and with all the
tradition that has made it our great­
est Yuletide spectacle, the Edinboro
State Teachers College presented the
Old English Yuletide ceremonial on
Thursday, Dec. 19, in Haven Hall.
While this ceremonial has been given
for many centuries in England, it
was introduced to this country near­
ly a hundred years ago, and while
this was the fourth presentation at
the college, it has never been given
much in America.
As soon as the guests had assemb­
led m the dining hall and had filled

the tables so that some of the late
comers were turned away, the trump­
eter lifts her silver trumpet to her
lips and sounds the call that an­
nounces to the guests the opening of
the festivities. The torch bearers
enter, followed by the King’s Guards,
light the candles symbolizing the
birth of Christ and Christianity
throughout the known world.
The
torch bearers leave, as do the King’s
Guards, then the Minstrels appear
upon the steps overlooking the huge
banquet hall, singing a song about
the' boar’s head which they carry on
a large tray. They file between the
long tables, finally stopping at one
end of the hall near the open fire-

place. The trumpeter sounds a call
heralding the coming of the Spirit
of Christmas. The Spirit enters, es­
corted by eight pages; they also file
among the long tables to a place near
the fire at the far end of the hall.
Again the trumpet call is sounded,
this time it is the entrance of Good
King Wencelas, page and jester, ac­
companied by the King’s Guards, who
are powerful characters chosen to
protect the King. The minstrels en­
ter, carrying the flaming plum pud­
ding, which sends up a delicate aroma
as they carry it to a place near the
rest of the people at the far end of
the hall.
The choir sends up a soft Christ-

mas carol; the room is hushed; the
Mother and Child enter and proceed
slowly between the tables to the gild­
ed throne, where they slowly take
their place as the center of the beau­
tiful pageant. The shepherds enter
and kneel before the Madonna, as
the three Kings come, presenting
gifts to the new-born babe.
The entire assemblage sings two of
our old Christmas carols, “Oh, Come
All Ye Faithful,” and “Joy to the
World.” The choir sings the reces­
sional and the pageant moves out.
Grace is said, and the choir responds
with the Seven-fold Amen. Now
everything is in readiness for the

THE STUDENT AND
CURRENT EVENTS
During the past week the headlines
of the national press have not told
of crime and its associated subjects.
Murder and racketeering have been
forgotten by the editors in their
scramble to report the developments
in Washington.
Supreme Court decisions, Senate
investigations, and political gather­
ings have made the headlines to such
an extent that one cannot help but
realize that social history is beingmade.
The administration is struggling
to keep business on the upswing and
at the same time is having a merry
fight, with the opposition, which is
handing out criticisms from every
angle.
The Townsend plan is getting more
publicity every day and has now as­
sumed the proportions of a national
issue.
Father Coughlin is still waging his
fight for social security and also
against the “international bankers.”
Prospective teachers should be alert
at this critical time and should take
sharp notice of the constant changes
in our national policies. In a few
years, these changes will be taught
in the high schools of our nation and
the present undergraduates in our
colleges will have been unusually for­
tunate in having been able to observe
this evolution which many writers
believe to be bordering on revolution.
However, it is not necessary for
students to attempt to determine
whether this change is revolution or
not. Their task is to avail them­
selves of authorative material on the
subject so that when the time comes,
they will be able to appear before
their classes with a well informed,
open mind.
The Editor.

WHY GO TO CHAPEL?
Chapel furnishes a very good op­
portunity for all the members of the
school to assemble to sing a few
songs, and make necessary announce­
ments. Through the chapel periods
we can develop a good school spirit
and a feeling of friendliness between
the dormitory and commuting stud­
ents. We can also learn many things
of interest through moving pictures
and the various speeches of those who
address us from time to time.
The majority of the students hero,
have such an indifferent attitude to­
ward chapel that when it is not com­
pulsory only a few attend. This is
not only discouraging to those in
charge but it shows a poor school
spirit. It seems to indicate a lack
of initiative and'a lack of desire to

Letters to the Editor
The following letter was recently
received by the editor. Unless you
have a good memory you will be con­
fused as to its meaning. Consequent­
ly I am reprinting the paragraph
which aroused the correspondent’s
ire:
“That gang of toughs that stay at
Wade Manor are sharks when it
comes to card playing . . . and often
stay up till the wee, sma’ hours. No
wonder they occasionally drowse in
class . . .”
To the Stone Caster:
In reading the last issue of the
“Spectator” I was surprised to see
so much unfavorable comment con­
cerning activities in Wade Manor.
To begin with I should suggest that
the editor of “Dusting Off the Cob­
webs” should employ the services of
Mother Goose himself.
Let me acquaint you with a fact
or two concerning the scholastic
record of the four boys involved.
After looking over their mid-semester
reports I find that from a total of
24 classes they have rated 16 S’s, 7
G’s, and 1 P. This alone would in­
dicate a rather unusual “gang of
toughs”—as they were labeled.
Personally, I would suggest that
you would qualify the term “toughs”
at some near future date if it refers
to a mark of character. I have been
indirectly associated with Wad?
Manor for three years and have never
met a bigger-hearted and more ac­
comodating group of boys who were
not Irishmen.
Next, Mr. Editor, you had better
dust the cobwebs off your clock and
see if you cannot find another “1” in
front of those suggested “wee, smal'
hours” for you m:ght have to explain
your own presence on the streets at
those hours of the n’ght.
To be
specific, how many nights have you
passed and found anything except a
hall lamp on after midnight? Look
out now, you .may be telling on your­
self.
I defy any other boys’ rooming
house in town to equal this scholastic
record and to submit for inspection
a more honest, trustworthy and gent­
lemanly group of fellows.
I should suggest that you do not
jump to conclusions, in the future,
without more conclusive evidence and
believe that you will find your con­
science relieved if you find time to
retract your rather unsportsmanlike
statement and figuratively speaking,
“relegate to the ash can” your lean­
ing to mud-slinging.
I have found much truth — and
think you will — in the following
statement: “Let him who is without
sin cast the first stone.”
Sincerely yours,
An Alumnus.
improve general knowledge.
Would it not be much better if
chapel was considered by the students
a reunion for all members of the
school rather than a compulsory part
of the curriculum?

With Our Athletes

BACK AND FORTH

The fight is on—yes, the fight be­
tween the off-campus and on-campus
girls’ basketball teams. The first
game of the series will take place
Wednesday evening, January 15.
The girls have practiced hard and
long and are in good shape. Every­
one is invited to the games, so come
out and support your favorite team.
Then, too, there are the girls who
are practicing bowling. Boys, if you
think you’re good you should see our
girls knock down the pins. Many be­
ginning students have turned out for
this sport. The girls hope to be able
to put on a bowling tournament very
soon.
Many girls have taken advantage
of‘the three o’clock activities that
take place every Tuesday and Thurs­
day afternoon in the gym.
They
have their choice of badminton, pad­
dle tennis, deck tennis, shuffleboard,
and ping-pong. The girls at paddle
tennis have quite a time keeping the
ball under control. You must be
somewhat mathematically minded to
play shuffle board. It furnishes ex­
cellent practice in addition and very
often in subtraction too. After a
few more weeks of practice these
girls hope to try their playing ability
against their fellow players.
The girls of the W. A. A. are very
sorry to hear that Miss Ruttie has
been ill and they hope that she soon
feels like her own self again.

The athletes of the campus who
have successfully obtained berths on
Coach Harrison’s 1935-36 squads re­
present fifteen different high schools.
Edward Simon, a graduate of the
class of ’29 ■ Robert Barber, a gradu­
ate of the class of ’34, and Chimenti,
of the class of ’33, came to us from
Erie East.
Erie Strong Vincent brought us
Ben Wilkins, ’33, and Henry Kirsch­
ner, ’34.
Intrieri graduated from Central in
1930, winning letters there in ’28 and
’29.
Reid Hastie comes from Donora,
where he graduated in 1931. Bennardo graduated from Vandergrift
High in 1930. He earned two letters
there in football.
Mischler is a graduate of the class
of ’28 of Albion High School.
Crunick came from Canonsburg,
where he graduated in 1930.
Zahorchak comes from Alliquippa,
a graduate of the class of ’32.
Shaffer, Witalis, and Pfeiffer hail
from South High, Pittsburgh. They
graduated in ’32, ’35, and ’35 re­
spectively.
Langer won four varsity letters
from Wesleyville, Pa., graduating in
1935.
Denison is a graduate of the class
of ’34 from Millcreek High. Demiankow prepped at Tech, graduating
in 1935.
Burke graduated from Brady High,
Luthersburg, in ’33. He had pre­
viously attended Dubois High.
Reichel comes from Saegerstown,
where he graduated in ’35.
Last, but not least, are the home
town boys. Campbell, of the class of
’31; Case and Coyle, of ’34, and Sal­
chak and Zahniser, of ’35, are Edin­
boro’s contribution.
If you do not know how many of
these fellows play basketball and how
many play football, try uncorking a
little school spirit and attend some
of the games.

Many moons have passed by since your lead-footed pencil pusher last
tried to get a column published. Incidentally, he was successful. Conse­
quently, he is trying once more. History repeats itself, you know.
Our first lines o’ type are concerning two well known lads who are
transferring their credits, cheerfullness and personalities to other campuses.
Bob Billings, a local boy, is leaving for Oklahoma A. and M.,where he will
take up electrical refrigeration. Dick Wagner, president of the sophomore
class, will enroll in the National Bible Institute in New York City. Good
luck, boys, but remember that there is many a sip between the cup and
the lip, especially when the coffee is too hot.
That doesn’t sound relevant, does it? I’m sorry, so if you will skip it
we’ll go on to the case of the college professor who draped himself over a
coat hanger and put his coat to bed.
Inquiries are being made concerning our intra-mural basketball league
for the men of the college. There are at least four organizations which
want to sponsor a team but feel that if they wait much longer they will have
to trade in their gym shoes for spikes and take to the cinder path and jump­
ing pit. Which might not be such a bad idea after all. An intra-mural
field meet would be a new thing on the campus and should certainly arouse
interest.

New Quarters
For Y. M. C. A
The College Young Men’s Christian
Association is at last to have a place
to carry out its work effectivelly.
Some years ago the “Y ’ made use of
part of the old art department space
on the third floor of Normal Hall
Then a room was secured in the
building that is being equipped for
offices for faculty members, student
council, etc. Recently meetings have
been held in the commuter’s room in
Normal Hall. But none of these
places have allowed the organization
to do the type of work that should
be done. Now a splendid headquart­
ers equipment is being prov;ded in
the basement of Reeder Hall. There
will be a roomy lobby where one may
read or chat with his friends, a room
where the regular mect'ngs of the
club will be held, and a recreation
room that will be outfitted for var­
ious games. Altogether Edinboro is
to have one of the finest sets of Y.
M. C. A. club rooms of any of the
State Teachers Colleges, perhaps
second to the splendid “hut” at
Slippery Rock. These rooms will be
kept open not merely for the organ­
ization itself but for the service they
can render to all the young men of
the college.

EDINBORO SQUAD
TO MEET CLARION
The Red Raiders of Edinboro will
meet their second foe of the season
on Saturday, January 18, when Coach
Waldo Tippin will send his squad
from Clarion against Coach Harri­
son’s proteges.
The Edinboro boys dropped their
first game to a superior squad from
Thiel College and are expecting a
difficult battle from the downstaters
Clarion boasts of several rangy vet­
erans who will lead their attack
against the home town boys.
Intrieri and Simon, in the back
court, will probably carry the brunt
of the burden.

While on the subject of athletics, we find that Coach Harrison is send­
ing one of the youngest and smallest basketball squads in the history of
the school against opponents who boast of veteran and lanky organizations.
Don’t they grow tall around here any more?
Did you know that a large percentage of the older members of the Erie
County Bar Association once attended old Edinboro Normal School? At
the present time we find that two graduates, J. Orin Waite and. Miles B.
Kitts, have been elected to the office of Judge of the Erie County Courts.
The late Justice Emory A. Walling, who attended this school in 1873, was
a member of the bench of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. Other prom­
inent lawyers of Erie include Robert J. Firman, Robert L. Roberts, Clarence
Bryan, who also taught here for a -short time; the late L. E. Torry, who
served on our Board of Trustees, and C. C. Eaton, who is now president of
that board, and T. C. Miller, who also served for seven years as Superin­
tendent of Schools of Erie County.
The Chi Delts and Y men might do well if they pooled their resources
and joined hands. Their memberships are almost identical.
And then there is the wag who comes forward and tells us that a vaca­
tion is what we come back to school to rest up after.
Have you heard of the new retirement plan? It has Doc Townsend reel­
ing against the ropes. When a child is born, he receives an I. 0. U. from
the Federal Government for $20,000. His parents receive 3% interest on
this note. This amounts to $50 per month. When the child reaches the
age of 20 years, he collects his 20 grand and starts out in the world.
This plan is known as the “Retire at Birth” plan. Why wait till you’re
sixty?
Neil Peiffer, Junior class representative, is now bunking at Wade
Manor. That old brick dwelling is really an institution. Since 1900,
college men have been hanging their hats there. Their names read like a
Who’s Who of Western Pennsylvania. Isaac Taylor, the pioneer who built
the home, gave part of the land on which the college now stands.
A glance at historical records reveals that over five thousand people
attended the semi-centennial celebration of Edinboro State Normal School.
Can we equal that mark this year at the seventy-fifth .anniversary?
Bill Holland and Joe Leson, former basketball luminarie on the local
hardwood, are going great with the Hy-Vis Oilers of Warren. They can
still send the ball through the hoop with unerring accuracy.
Well,- folks, this is one column which ends, not because its bed time,
meal time or beer time, but because the writer is through. So, in closing,
let me leave you with the yarn about the college freshman who wrote home
concerning his new girl friend. He closed his letter with the words: “She
may not be as pretty as a picture but she has a wonderful frame.”

dinner.
The dinner is served; the guests
partake heartily of the delicious bak­
ed ham and candied sweet potatoes
and everything else that made up the
meal right through to pumpkin pie
and whipped cream.
After dinner the candles are snuf
fed and the pages draw in the huge
Yule log. The Spirit of Christmas
washes his hands as a symbol of puri­
fication. The lighting of the Yule
log now takes place. It is lighted
from a chip saved from last year’s
log.
Soft, childish voices are heard out­
side the windows, the Spirit of Christ­
mas goes forth to see who the carol­
ers are. They are ragamuffins who
are cold and hungry and have come
to sing before the Lords and Ladies
at the great ceremony. The Spirit
of, Christmas invites them in to sing
and share the revelry. Eagerly they
come in and huddle around the fire,
accepting freely the oranges given
them.
The carolers move back into a
corner as the wandering players en­
ter. The mummers warm themselves
about the fire as Father Christmas
tells the people about the play. The
players
represent
Righteousness,
Paganism and Evil or Disease. They
are a boastful lot and spend their
time telling the people how good they
are and fighting.
The players move out and the
dancers come in and present four
dances.
The Wassail is drunk; all sing the
“Wassail Song.” The ceremony is
ended as the closing carol, “Holy
Night,” is sung.
To mention here the names of all
those who contributed so much to
making this fourth Old English cere­
monial a success would be impos­
sible, but all of the cast, the direct­
ors, the people who arranged the pro­
gram and prepared the dining hall,
and everyone who took part in the
preparation of this festival, worked
hard and did his work well.
Congratulations go to the choir

Chi Delta Sigma
Honors Pledges
The Chi Delta Sigma fraternity
will honor its pledges at a dance to
be held in the Haven Hall dining
room Saturday evening, January 18,
at 8:00 o’clock.
Mr. Wade Skelton, chairman of the
music committee, has announced that
the services of Greg Ott and his band
have been secured. This band has
already appeared on the campus and
has established a reputation which
will make it more than acceptable for
a return engagement.
In past years this affair has been
private but the fraternity is opening
the dance this year to the students
of the college and their friends.
The pledges being honored are Bill
Coyle, Fred Case, Milo Connick, Steve
Kusner, Martin Schweller, Wayne
Fobes, Robert Scarpitti, Henry Lang­
er, Wallace Walker, Lee Beck, Tex
Boerstler, George Hetra and Nick
Krivonak.
SKI MEET IN OFFING

Plans and preparations are being
made for the annual ski meet of the
W. A. A. Whenever the weather
conditions permit, the freshman girls
don their ski suits and skis and try
to improve their technique. There is
some very excellent material in this
group and their enthusiasm for ski­
ing is great.
The upper classmen are also ex­
pected to turn out in great numbers
for the meet. It is the wish of the
W. A. A. to make this year s tourna­
ment a bigger and better tournament
than ever before.

LaFollette’s platform manner is
gracious and sincere. One is impres­
sed with his human sympathy born
of simple experience.

man, the youngest of our governors,

College Auditorium
Is Rejuvenated
If you had visited the auditorium
during the past week you would have
seen something new in the way of
auditoriums. Or perhaps I should
say different.
Scaffolding as thick as barbed wire
entanglements filled the room from
wall to wall and ceiling to floor. W.
P. A. workers scrambled about on
these planks chipping off old plaster
and putting on new. Dust filled the
air.
And yet, when the work is done,
Edinboro will have a more present­
able assembly hall. Fresh paint, re­
decorated curtains and new arrange­
ments for the erection of stage sets
will greet the people who attend the
first performance in our renovated'
auditorium, that of the ensemble of
famous musicians to be given tonight
at 8:00 o’clock.

NEW MEMBERS
Six new members have been elect­
ed to Mu Kappa Gamma, honorary
national music fraternity. The people
so honored are Gene St.John, Eleo­
nora Ghering, Leona Glass, James
Hale, James Wilson and Bob Billings.
James Wilson has also been elected
president of the cho:r to succeed Carl
Wozniak. Gene St.John was re-elect­
ed to the posit:on of secretary-treas­
urer .
