From the original negative a positive film was made. The two films
were placed together, one slightly off-center, giving the above effect in the
finished print. The club is under the supervision of Miss Justina Baron
and has made this its busiest and most successful year.

MARJORY MARTIN ELECTED1
T
ScaRAb CLUB PRESIDENT
By W. A. Wheatley
At Edinboro in nearly all classes there is the opportunity for a give and
take discussion of the current assignments of the various courses.
Also,
let us assume that the atmosphere of the classrooms is informal and demo
cratic and that the students feel free both to answer proffered questions
and to discuss pro and con provocat ve topics. More, let us assume that the
students and instructors expand and enrich the courses considerably beyond
the confines of the basic texts and selected references: still, if this is prac
tically all there is of our college life, it is too instructional and too detached
from the real lives of the students, their dr.ving interests, their human at
titudes, their aspirations.
You will say that students are daily mingling with others in the dor
mitories or in local homes. They are performing the duties of N. Y. A. or
State jobs. They are attending recitals and lectures given by talented
KI
artists. They take part in athletics, musical and dramatic act v.ties and
other extracurricular functions. They participate in dances and other social SOPHOMORES UPHOLD

Excellent art work of the Delta

fraternity's exhibit in Haven Hall.
The members have worked for some
time in preparing this show which
will last until Saturday, May 13.
At the last meeting on the 27th of
April, six sophomores were pledged
to the Delta Phi Delta and formal
initiation is to be held May 18th.
Those pledged were Vega Ihsen,
Charlotte Weaver, Frances Bates,
Eunice Rodgers, Elaine Ghering and
Sara Kratz.
May 18th also marks the date of
the Founder’s Day Banquet, an out
standing event on the group’s calen
dar for the year.
“Petticoat Fever’’ is the play
chosen by the seniors for their sen
ior class play, which will be given
Monday, ‘May 22.
“A non-tropical farce,” in three
acts, the play will be the most humor
ous and entertaining production seen
at Edinboro in several years. It was
extremely popular as both a stage and
screen production.
Miss Ludgate is directing the play.
The cast includes Alice Kruszka,
Keith Skelton, LorRita Kramer, An

chosen.

MARJORY MARTIN ELECTED1
T
ScaRAb CLUB PRESIDENT
By W. A. Wheatley
At Edinboro in nearly all classes there is the opportunity for a give and
take discussion of the current assignments of the various courses.
Also,
let us assume that the atmosphere of the classrooms is informal and demo
cratic and that the students feel free both to answer proffered questions
and to discuss pro and con provocat ve topics. More, let us assume that the
students and instructors expand and enrich the courses considerably beyond
the confines of the basic texts and selected references: still, if this is prac
tically all there is of our college life, it is too instructional and too detached
from the real lives of the students, their dr.ving interests, their human at
titudes, their aspirations.
You will say that students are daily mingling with others in the dor
mitories or in local homes. They are performing the duties of N. Y. A. or
State jobs. They are attending recitals and lectures given by talented
KI
artists. They take part in athletics, musical and dramatic act v.ties and
other extracurricular functions. They participate in dances and other social SOPHOMORES UPHOLD

Last Production of Year
Excellent art work of the Delta
Phi Delta is now being shown in the
fraternity's exhibit in Haven Hall.
The members have worked for some
time in preparing this show which
will last until Saturday, May 13.
At the last meeting on the 27th of
April, six sophomores were pledged
to the Delta Phi Delta and formal
initiation is to be held May 18th.
Those pledged were Vega Ihsen,
Charlotte Weaver, Frances Bates,
Eunice Rodgers, Elaine Ghering and
Sara Kratz.
May 18th also marks the date of
the Founder’s Day Banquet, an out
standing event on the group’s calen
dar for the year.
“Petticoat Fever’’ is the play
chosen by the seniors for their sen
ior class play, which will be given
Monday, ‘May 22.
“A non-tropical farce,” in three
acts, the play will be the most humor
ous and entertaining production seen
at Edinboro in several years. It was
extremely popular as both a stage and
screen production.
Miss Ludgate is directing the play.
The cast includes Alice Kruszka,
Keith Skelton, LorRita Kramer, An
gelo Casello, Joe Zahniser, Henry
Kirschner and several others not yet
chosen.
