PA. NOVEMBER 19, 1938
The training school, a major unit
in the college building program, will
be completely finished by December
15 and ready for possible occupation
by January 1, according to informa
tion given out by the local offices of
the J. M Bensinger Company, gen
eral contractors.
Before occupation by the Edinboro
grade and high school pupils, the
building must be approved and ac
cepted by the General State Author
ity and the P. W. A.
Installation of the necessary furni
ture and equipment must be made
after the building officially becomes
the property of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. These may not be in
stalled by January 1, though that is
a possible date.
Contains Library
Of Vogue Magazine
Marjorie Hillis, author of “Live
Alone and Like It”, and former as
sociate editor of Vogue Magazine, will
lecture in the college auditorium on
“The Art of Gracious Living”.
Besides being a vivacious and en
tertaining speaker, Miss Hillis writes
in a clever, witty and sparkling style
much information helpful in matters
of conduct and satisfactory living.
“Orchids on Your Budget” and
“Corned Beef and Caviar” are two of
her more recent works. She is at
present a regular contributor to the
Good Housekeeping Magazine.
Miss Hillis is the daughter of New
ell Dwight Hillis, famous New York
preacher, author and lecturer.
Her writing reveals such pictur
esque wit as the following:
“Clear and honest thinking is one
form of worship, and no one who does
it sufficiently is permanently out of
a job.
“There is something definitely
wrong with people who don’t mind
needing to be helped.
“The more you enjoy yourself, the
more of a person you are.
“Nothing is so damaging to selfesteem as waiting for a telephone or
doorbell that doesn’t ring.
On the second floor, the west wing
will contain a modern library.
A
science room, a biology laboratory
and a commercial room and student
teaching conference rooms will also
be on this floor.
A combination auditorium-gymnas
ium, which will seat several hundred
persons on portable chairs, will pro
vide a playing floor for the high
school’s varsity teams, gym classes,
and for the presentation of plays.

PA. NOVEMBER 19, 1938
The training school, a major unit
in the college building program, will
be completely finished by December
15 and ready for possible occupation
by January 1, according to informa
tion given out by the local offices of
the J. M Bensinger Company, gen
eral contractors.
Before occupation by the Edinboro
grade and high school pupils, the
building must be approved and ac
cepted by the General State Author
ity and the P. W. A.
Installation of the necessary furni
ture and equipment must be made
after the building officially becomes
the property of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. These may not be in
stalled by January 1, though that is
a possible date.

Of Vogue Magazine
Marjorie Hillis, author of “Live
Alone and Like It”, and former as
sociate editor of Vogue Magazine, will
lecture in the college auditorium on
“The Art of Gracious Living”.
Besides being a vivacious and en
tertaining speaker, Miss Hillis writes
in a clever, witty and sparkling style
much information helpful in matters
of conduct and satisfactory living.
“Orchids on Your Budget” and
“Corned Beef and Caviar” are two of
her more recent works. She is at
present a regular contributor to the
Good Housekeeping Magazine.
Miss Hillis is the daughter of New
ell Dwight Hillis, famous New York
preacher, author and lecturer.
Her writing reveals such pictur
esque wit as the following:
“Clear and honest thinking is one
form of worship, and no one who does
it sufficiently is permanently out of
a job.
“There is something definitely
wrong with people who don’t mind
needing to be helped.
“The more you enjoy yourself, the
more of a person you are.
“Nothing is so damaging to selfesteem as waiting for a telephone or
doorbell that doesn’t ring.
On the second floor, the west wing
will contain a modern library.
A
science room, a biology laboratory
and a commercial room and student
teaching conference rooms will also
be on this floor.
A combination auditorium-gymnas
ium, which will seat several hundred
persons on portable chairs, will pro
vide a playing floor for the high
school’s varsity teams, gym classes,
and for the presentation of plays.
