Editorial
For the past several years I have
watched the E. S. T. C. basketball
team at home and on the road. I wish
now to speak of an incident that
has made a great impression on me.
For the majority of the games the
Edinboro student body lacks the fire
and sparkle so commonly character­

program designed to acquaint

the

students with the cheers and songs.

istic of the other schools.
I realize, of course, that several of
the games finds the spectators in a
very bedlam of noise; these being
the Slippery Rock and Indiana games.
However I believe that more and bet­
ter songs and cheers would add color
and spirit to every game. Perhaps
the fault lies in the fact that not
enough time is devoted to an assembly

Of one thing I am sure, that the
"outsider ” who comes to the games
will be more impressed by the college
atmosphere if the proper spirit is
shown. In the past there have been
many people who would have liked to
be present at a collegiate basketball
game and be a part of that “atmos­
phere”, but we have failed to do so.
because of insufficant seating capacity
With our new facilities in use there is
no reason why we should not always
have a large audience of students and
towns people. Larger crowds would
result in higher gate receipts, which
would in turn benefit the student
body in several ways.

Phi Sigma Pi Fraternity

Last Saturday about 40 of Edin­
boro’s art alumni and faculty met
for a luncheon at Webster Hall in
Pittsburgh. Mr. Bates acted as toast­
master, and Dr. Van Houten gave a
short talk in which he extended an
invitation to all alumni to attend the
celebration of Edinboro’s 80th anni­
versary next spring.
Each person
present said a word or two about
(himself, the year he graduated, and
his present occupation. The other
guests from Edinboro included Mrs.
Van Houten, Miss Ruttie, Miss Bar­
on, Mr. Haller and Mr. Doucette.
After the luncheon the Delta Phi
Delta alumni members that were
present held a very importannt meet­
ing, during which officers for the
coming year were elected. Margie
Martin gave a short resume of the
Delta Phi Delta coonvention which
she attended last June at Iowa State
University in Ames, Ohio.
After
the meeting adjourned, many of the
alumni and faculty went to see the
All-American exhibit, which was open
on Saturday for the last day.

Dramatic Club

On December 10, thirty-two of the
members assembled in the college
kitchen for a candy-making party,
which was a success in every way.
The purpose of the party was not
only to provide the girls with an hour
of social get-together, but also for
the more worthy cause of making
candy to sell at the bazaar. Need­
less to say the eight types of candy
were all delicious for each group was
under the careful supervision of Miss
Pettit.
'lhe following girls served as chair­
men of the various groups: Margaret
Lindquist, Margaret Caflisch, Shirlie
Edwards, Esther Estock, Peggy Ellwanger, Helen Williams, Audrey
Hinkson, and Norma Grettenberger.
Marie Allen was general chairman.

On the evenings of Monday, De­
cember 9, and Thursday, December

guests of the

“The White Steed” by Paul Vincent

Mr. Hulbert, director of
the Playshop, who has often acted
as a judge for our Tournament of
Plays, extended the invitation to the
local club.
The
production,
while not ap­
proaching professional status, was of
superior amateur rating.

After the performances the local

ticularly the master control board at
the rear of bhe auditorium, and could
not help thinking of Edinboro’s
beautiful new auditorium.

Edinboro took the

DeSales, and the Red Raiders were

minutes of the game, when Casoli

the Raiders ahead by one point,

on several All-State teams.
From
