Large Attendance At
Parents’ Day Exercises
Last Saturday. October 10, was
a gala day for Edinboro students
and faculty members. Accompanied
by beautiful weather and nearly one
hundred mothers, fathers, aunts,
uncles, brothers and sisters they
celebrated their annual Parents’
Day.
A midday banquet was held for
parents and students in the dining
hall. Highlights of the program
were Mr. Waldo Bate's entertaining
comments, the sincere words spoken
by Richard Rockwell, and the beau­
tiful music furnished by Miss Esther
Wilson’s organizations.
Miss Nettie Ruttie’s athletic pro­
gram included a hockey game (the
Delts won), a horse show (Jane
Vaughn still can’t walk well) and a
swimming exhibition (Chester Eisaman and June Hosteltler really can
dive).
The day was climaxed by a re­
ception held by the faculty at the
home of Dr. and Mrs. L. H. Van
Houten.

j of us.

Often has it been observed that it is times
like these—times of nervous strain, of feverish
activity, of sacrifices, of uncertainty, and of gen­
eral unreality—that make one appreciate those
things which he had once enjoyed unconsciously’,
which he had taken for granted. One of the things
whose meaningful value has increased for us in
the last few weeks is our school, Edinboro State
Teachers College.
As one walks up Erie Street past Normal
Street he first notices the trees on the campus.
Beneath the shade of their leaves, now deeply
toned by the frost, lie our buildings. First sits
Normal Hall with its broad steps and white-faced
clock in the tower. Nearly hidden is venerable
Recitation crying age from its bell-tower to its
well-pitted stone steps. Farther back reposes
Haven Hall behind a white-columned porch. One
senses a deeper appreciation of the Edinboro
campus.
In his dormitory room in the evening one is
apt to find visitors gathered “two deep’’ on his
beds, chairs and floor. The air is hung with good
humor (like “Sut” Alton’s remark as he chuckled
boisterously over nothing, “Ya know, sometimes
I tell myself the funniest jokes.’’), logical philos­
ophy (Joe Spence is sure to quote “There’s no
art to find the mind’s construction in the face”),
and pointedly objective discussions (You should
sit in sometime on a. female “bull session” and
hear them weigh and unweigh some one of the
fellows). Or if one walks across the campus,
whomever he meets, be it fellow student, faculty
member, or Doc Van himself, comes out with a
cherry “Hi.” This good fellowship is typically
American, but nowhere is it as evident as at Edin­
boro.
A third source of satisfaction to Edinboro
students is the pride the school takes in its sons
and daughters. Today is Alumni Day, and the
College has put much effort into making it a
success, but the college’s interest in alumni is not
confined to one day a year. Such remarks as this
are very typical—“Cambridge Springs? Why, yes,
that’s where Evelyn Glenn, a last year’s graduate,
is teaching.” And a freshman is interested even
though Eve is a complete stranger to him. The
proudest student on campus, however, is the one
who can say, “My mother is an Edinboro graduate.
There are innumerable little things one finds
himself valuing merely because they are typically
Edinboro. These are such sights” as a freshman

Down there he found a few moments of spare

around.
Andy let go with an arial ball that
brought an admiring whistle from the camp coach
who happened by just then and who stopped long
enough to shout, “Pvt. Walsh, report for football
practice tonight.” Nice going, eh? How about a
touchdown in remembrance of dear old E.S.T.C.

THE SPECTATOI

Red Raiders Battle
Clarion Tutors
This afternoon, the Red Raiders
will meet the tutors from Clarion
State Teachers College. So far this
season, the Raiders have lost one
game, their opening game against
Westminister College at New Wil­
mington. The final score, 20-0,
proved just one thing, and that was
only that the team was in need of
more practice, for the game was
played after just a week’s drilling.
and some of the players who had
arrived in school late had had even
a shorter period of practice.
But that was three weeks ago,
and now, although the squad has
been riddled down to almost a skel­
eton. the fellows that remain will be
putting up a real fight when they
meet the blue and yellow clad visi­
tors. Last year at Clarion, the two
teams slipped and squirmed to a
0-0 tie in a torrential downpour.
In that starting lineup for Edin­
boro will be eight men back from
last season. Among these are Bill
Shollenberger at half-back and
Howard Griffin at left-end, both of
whom were mentioned in the Asso­
ciated Press All-State last year.
Other veterans are Rockwell, center;
Stubbe. guard;
Dove, tackle: Mc­
Intosh, end; Bonnett and McCoy in
the backfield. Newcomers this year
who will be playing their first game
at Edinboro are Bob Brown, back;
Susi and Giordano, back and end
respectively; and Leon Culbertson,
tackle.
Next Saturday, the Raiders are at
home again, meeting Mansfield
Teachers. Following that, they have
a week’s rest and then end their
season by playing Slippery Rock
Teachers, also here at Edinboro.
