President L. H. Van Houten re
ports that at a recent Board of Presi
dent’s meeting held in Harrisburg,
a plan was worked out whereby a
student co-uld complete his college
course in less than four years. This
was done to enable students who are
going to be drafted to finfth school
first, and also as a measure to meet
the increasing demands for teachers.
The Board decided to' have twelve
weeks of summer school, divided into
three periods. These would consist
of a 3-week pre-session, a 6-week
regular session, and a 3-week post
session. The semester hours of work
that can be covered at the full sum
mer course range from 12 to 15.
Students may go to one or all sessions. Freshmen may enter at any
time, also. Freshmen, would be able
to graduate in three years by at
tending three regular sessions and
two summer sessions of twelve weeks
each; or by attending three regular
sessions and three summer ones of
nine weeks each.

Phi Sig Sez:
(PHI SIGMA PI)
With pledging and Hell Week over,
the Phi Sigs initiated five new mem
bers into the ranks. The neop y es
are John Ward of Erie, Clinton
Thomas and Richard Jenkins of Un
ion City, George Hills of Wes
Springfield, and Dewey Long oi
Pittsfield.
With many social meetings on the
docket for the remaining months of
school, the fraternity is contemplat
ing such things as sleigh rides, skat
ing parties, another of our famous
(?) week-end parties, the spring din
ner dance, and the soon coming In
ter-Fraternity-Sorority Dance. The
committee for this dance is composed
of two members from each of the
three Greek letter organizations par
ticipating. The committee members
from the Phi Sigs are Jack Bonnett
and Warren Anna. The committee is
planning for an all-out dance.
Three of our members are now on
Student Council. These are: senior,
Daniel Wolchik; junior, Oliver West
er, and sophomore, Frank Holowach.
Nuf sed for this time
The student teachers came back from their ordeal
of student teaching. And the minute they arrived
questions shot at them from every quarter: “how’d
you like it?” “how didya do?” “what do you think of
it?’’ and so on, on into the night.
People seemed to be concerned about the way
the S. T.’s had handled their jobs. They asked many
questions, not alone because they knew the partici
pants and were interested in them, but also because
all the under classmen had this task still before them.
It was natural that they wanted to know what it was
like, because they were going to have to go through
the’ same thing themselves son|e day. Thinking to
make things easier for everyone we took pencil in
hand and went out to ask a few questions on our own.
Like all good interviewers, we had our stock ques
tions with us. They went something like this: how
does it feel to1 teach, what was your reaction to it,
what did you gain from your experience, what advice
do you have for those who are following you?
Hazel Dennison, after finally discovering what we
were about, was glad to unburden herself. “When I
got up before the class, I wondered why in heck I didn’t
study the three years before. I worked harder just
trying to keep ahead of the kids than I ever did in
my life. You have to work towards it all along, not
just at the last moment.” Hazel grew up, and she
also found out that “you never know what you can
do till you have to.’’
Marjorie Martin was next on the list. She was
quite enthusiastic over her semester of teaching; in
fact, she was brimming over with the fun she had had.
“I liked it very much—that is, after the first couple
of weeks of getting used to it, I liked it.” Marjorie
found out that “different kids require different han
dling,” and that, in spite of all the preparation and
courses she had taken, “you still don’t know what you
are going to do till a situation arises; but you find out
by doing.” Her advice is, “Don’t worry about it. It
isn’t worth worrying about.”
Will Schaaf wrinkled his brow, waved his hands
a few times, and in his deep voice delivered himself
of this: “Take it easy and relax, it’s fun.
Enjoy
yourself.
When you worry, that’s when you rave
trouble.” Will learned: “what sort of kids I like, what
I would like to teach.” According to1 him, the worst
discipline problem is not a boy, but an ornery girl.
Betsy Vincent, upon the other hand, didn’t agree
with Schaaf’s lighter philosophy of life. She said “ft
makes you more mature and realize the seriousness of
taking the right courses when you come back. You see
the value of learning. Her advice: “take it seriously and
work hard. You will like the kids.” Betsy was “kind
of glad when it was all over.”
Bill Snyder was eager to expound his views.

The Red Raiders dove into the
water February 7 to pull their way
through for an easy victory over In
diana’s tankers.
This marked the
first win of the season for Edinboro,
and they made it a resounding one;
for by the time the churned-up water
quieted the score read 51-14.
Edinboro captured first place in
all eight events.
Harold Schlindwein scored double by winning the
fancy diving event and coming in
first in the 100-yard breaststroke.

CARNEGIE WINS BY A HAIR
Since the last issue of this publi
cation, the basketball team has really
bumped up against some tough luck.
Our victory over Fredonia here on
January 10th was followed on the
17th by another win, this time over
Polish Alliance. But that is where
the slump began. Art laderosa, lead
ing scorer on the squad, was forced
to drop out because of the attendance
ruling for State Teachers College
teams.
On the 24th, the Raiders
dropped a close game to Fredonia on
the New Yorkers’ own floor, 38-36.
The next game was played at Indiana, and again the Raiders tasted
defeat, this time by the score of 4437.
On the 31st of January, the squad
came back home to battle with Slip
pery Rock. The Rockets led from
the beginning, and despite a fourth
quarter spurt by the Raiders, the
visitors triumphed 51-35. This game
marked the final appearance of Dan
ny Casoli in an Edinboro uniform,
for he was forced to leave school
because of monetary conditions. Sox
successfully juggled around his few
remaining reserves, and when Cali
fornia came here on the 2nd of Feb
ruary, they ran into a hornets nest.
When the final gun sounded, the
score stood tied at 34-34. In the en
suing five minute overtime period,
the Raiders played magnificently, but
to no avail, for they lost 40-36.
On Tuesday, February 10th, our
squad traveled to Clarion, only to
meet defeat again, the final score
being 41-28.
This Friday, the return game with
Califronia is scheduled to be played
at California. The probable start
ing lineup will have Soscia and Fuller
at forwards; Walsh at center; Mc
Coy and Bonnett at guards.
W. A. A.
Many spectators enjoyed the PhiDelta basketball games with the Phis
winning two games and the Deltas
winning two games.
Being very
evenly matched it wasn’t until the
second quarter of each game that
the winning team came forth with
shots that scored. To be qualified
to play, each girl must have an aca
demic average of “C” and she is
allowed only two unexcused absences
from practice. To be eligible for
credit points, each player must play
at least one quarter of each game.
Watch for the next game announce
ment and come and cheer.
Excellent Skiing
The girls are finding Edinboro
weather excellent for skiing. About
forty girls are in active participa
tion, many of them now learning the
ups and downs of “stems” and the

Swimmers Perform
Our swimmers deserve much credit
for their splendid performance in
their first meet. With Mr. McNees
and Miss Wilson as judges, of twentyfour competitors the Deltas won
with a score of 70 against the Phi
score of 51. Backed by enthusiastic
spectators the girls did excellent
work in relay races, comic races, and

President L. H. Van Houten re
ports that at a recent Board of Presi
dent’s meeting held in Harrisburg,
a plan was worked out whereby a
student co-uld complete his college
course in less than four years. This
was done to enable students who are
going to be drafted to finfth school
first, and also as a measure to meet
the increasing demands for teachers.
The Board decided to' have twelve
weeks of summer school, divided into
three periods. These would consist
of a 3-week pre-session, a 6-week
regular session, and a 3-week post
session. The semester hours of work
that can be covered at the full sum
mer course range from 12 to 15.
Students may go to one or all sessions. Freshmen may enter at any
time, also. Freshmen, would be able
to graduate in three years by at
tending three regular sessions and
two summer sessions of twelve weeks
each; or by attending three regular
sessions and three summer ones of
nine weeks each.

Phi Sig Sez:
(PHI SIGMA PI)
With pledging and Hell Week over,
the Phi Sigs initiated five new mem
bers into the ranks. The neop y es
are John Ward of Erie, Clinton
Thomas and Richard Jenkins of Un
ion City, George Hills of Wes
Springfield, and Dewey Long oi
Pittsfield.
With many social meetings on the
docket for the remaining months of
school, the fraternity is contemplat
ing such things as sleigh rides, skat
ing parties, another of our famous
(?) week-end parties, the spring din
ner dance, and the soon coming In
ter-Fraternity-Sorority Dance. The
committee for this dance is composed
of two members from each of the
three Greek letter organizations par
ticipating. The committee members
from the Phi Sigs are Jack Bonnett
and Warren Anna. The committee is
planning for an all-out dance.
Three of our members are now on
Student Council. These are: senior,
Daniel Wolchik; junior, Oliver West
er, and sophomore, Frank Holowach.
Nuf sed for this time
The student teachers came back from their ordeal
of student teaching. And the minute they arrived
questions shot at them from every quarter: “how’d
you like it?” “how didya do?” “what do you think of
it?’’ and so on, on into the night.
People seemed to be concerned about the way
the S. T.’s had handled their jobs. They asked many
questions, not alone because they knew the partici
pants and were interested in them, but also because
all the under classmen had this task still before them.
It was natural that they wanted to know what it was
like, because they were going to have to go through
the’ same thing themselves son|e day. Thinking to
make things easier for everyone we took pencil in
hand and went out to ask a few questions on our own.
Like all good interviewers, we had our stock ques
tions with us. They went something like this: how
does it feel to1 teach, what was your reaction to it,
what did you gain from your experience, what advice
do you have for those who are following you?
Hazel Dennison, after finally discovering what we
were about, was glad to unburden herself. “When I
got up before the class, I wondered why in heck I didn’t
study the three years before. I worked harder just
trying to keep ahead of the kids than I ever did in
my life. You have to work towards it all along, not
just at the last moment.” Hazel grew up, and she
also found out that “you never know what you can
do till you have to.’’
Marjorie Martin was next on the list. She was
quite enthusiastic over her semester of teaching; in
fact, she was brimming over with the fun she had had.
“I liked it very much—that is, after the first couple
of weeks of getting used to it, I liked it.” Marjorie
found out that “different kids require different han
dling,” and that, in spite of all the preparation and
courses she had taken, “you still don’t know what you
are going to do till a situation arises; but you find out
by doing.” Her advice is, “Don’t worry about it. It
isn’t worth worrying about.”
Will Schaaf wrinkled his brow, waved his hands
a few times, and in his deep voice delivered himself
of this: “Take it easy and relax, it’s fun.
Enjoy
yourself.
When you worry, that’s when you rave
trouble.” Will learned: “what sort of kids I like, what
I would like to teach.” According to1 him, the worst
discipline problem is not a boy, but an ornery girl.
Betsy Vincent, upon the other hand, didn’t agree
with Schaaf’s lighter philosophy of life. She said “ft
makes you more mature and realize the seriousness of
taking the right courses when you come back. You see
the value of learning. Her advice: “take it seriously and
work hard. You will like the kids.” Betsy was “kind
of glad when it was all over.”
Bill Snyder was eager to expound his views.

Hits Losing Streak
The Red Raiders dove into the
water February 7 to pull their way
through for an easy victory over In
diana’s tankers.
This marked the
first win of the season for Edinboro,
and they made it a resounding one;
for by the time the churned-up water
quieted the score read 51-14.
Edinboro captured first place in
all eight events.
Harold Schlindwein scored double by winning the
fancy diving event and coming in
first in the 100-yard breaststroke.

CARNEGIE WINS BY A HAIR
Since the last issue of this publi
cation, the basketball team has really
bumped up against some tough luck.
Our victory over Fredonia here on
January 10th was followed on the
17th by another win, this time over
Polish Alliance. But that is where
the slump began. Art laderosa, lead
ing scorer on the squad, was forced
to drop out because of the attendance
ruling for State Teachers College
teams.
On the 24th, the Raiders
dropped a close game to Fredonia on
the New Yorkers’ own floor, 38-36.
The next game was played at Indiana, and again the Raiders tasted
defeat, this time by the score of 4437.
On the 31st of January, the squad
came back home to battle with Slip
pery Rock. The Rockets led from
the beginning, and despite a fourth
quarter spurt by the Raiders, the
visitors triumphed 51-35. This game
marked the final appearance of Dan
ny Casoli in an Edinboro uniform,
for he was forced to leave school
because of monetary conditions. Sox
successfully juggled around his few
remaining reserves, and when Cali
fornia came here on the 2nd of Feb
ruary, they ran into a hornets nest.
When the final gun sounded, the
score stood tied at 34-34. In the en
suing five minute overtime period,
the Raiders played magnificently, but
to no avail, for they lost 40-36.
On Tuesday, February 10th, our
squad traveled to Clarion, only to
meet defeat again, the final score
being 41-28.
This Friday, the return game with
Califronia is scheduled to be played
at California. The probable start
ing lineup will have Soscia and Fuller
at forwards; Walsh at center; Mc
Coy and Bonnett at guards.

Many spectators enjoyed the PhiDelta basketball games with the Phis
winning two games and the Deltas
winning two games.
Being very
evenly matched it wasn’t until the
second quarter of each game that
the winning team came forth with
shots that scored. To be qualified
to play, each girl must have an aca
demic average of “C” and she is
allowed only two unexcused absences
from practice. To be eligible for
credit points, each player must play
at least one quarter of each game.
Watch for the next game announce
ment and come and cheer.
Excellent Skiing
The girls are finding Edinboro
weather excellent for skiing. About
forty girls are in active participa
tion, many of them now learning the
ups and downs of “stems” and the
“snow-plow’’ along with other funda
mentals making for ski-utiful times.
We are glad to see that many of the
sophomore girls have their town

Swimmers Perform
Our swimmers deserve much credit
for their splendid performance in
their first meet. With Mr. McNees
and Miss Wilson as judges, of twentyfour competitors the Deltas won
with a score of 70 against the Phi
score of 51. Backed by enthusiastic
spectators the girls did excellent
work in relay races, comic races, and
strokes for form. First places went
