EDITORIAL
Much of the time we are now spending in college will some
day appear to us as the best days of our lives. There are many
times when they appear to be our worst days, but really they
aren’t. The days we just skim through without really living them
to the fullest are not the ones we will remember, but the days we
were so busy we didn’t have time to stop and think will later
crystallize into permanent views of college life.

We won’t remember the meals that we didn’t like, the ap­
parently useless dressing for formal dinners, and the steady grind
of work. No, those parts of college life will grow dim, and the
bright moments will shine forth with great brilliance.
The greenness of Freshmen Week with all its silliness, our
first college dance, and the first winter in Edinboro—they will
stand clear and distinct as part of our growing up. When we no
longer have the chance to work for top grades, that thrill we got
on receiving our first A will appear to be one of the very best
moments in our lives. It will be something to think about in the
dark days that lie ahead where grades are not given. Perhaps
that moment of college life may have the chance to soften the
blow of failure in the time to come.

In college we take so much for granted. We never think of
the chance we have to move and think in a life-like situation with­
out having to take the knocks that life has to offer. It is like
swimming beyond your depth with absolute confidence that if
you start to go down someone will save you. We long for the
day when we will be out of school and on our own, busstop any

one of your friends who has been to college and ask what he
thinks about it. In the majority of cases he will look at you
rather wistfully and say that college was the best time of his life
only he didn’t know it until it was too late. They all have an
unspoken wish to go back and do things differently, but that is
impossible.
We can only have our college days once, and when they are
over we can not recapture them, try though we may. So let’s fill
each minute we can with real constructive living. Living that
includes good sound work and plenty of real fun,"sprinkled with
just the right amount of griping and dissatisfaction so that when
college is over and we are swimming unaided, we will have some
of the best days of our life to look back on.

Edinboro can be this to any of us if we will only realize it
now and not leave.appreciation go until it js too late.

Another room inspection and,
as a result, a cleaner, healthier
Haven Hall. Even the rats in the
Rec. room look bigger, better fed,
healthier, and etc. Too bad we
can’t say the same about the other
inmates of Haven. Above and
beyond the usual colds, we have
one case of either swollen glands
or mumps, the property of Leona
Thompson, one case of pink eye

several early cases of spring fever.
Martha Obilinski also came back
from basketball practice with a
sprained ankle—must have been
a vigorous game.
Found at last a use for that hor­
rible question “Is my father in
there?” Kore tried it out on
Mikki’s suit case, and believe it or
not, there he was.
Something else for the believe
it or not department. Rosemary
McCrory made the local slot ma­
chine cough up to the tune of $3.10.
Wish she’d tell the rest of us just
how it’s done.
Of late “Butch” Greenwait has
been having her troubles. Poor
girl—when the gremlins weren’t
busy stacking her room or greas­
ing her doorknob, they were ar­
ranging to have people confuse
her name with greenhorn at the St.
Patrick’s Day dinner.
Miss Kelly also has been having
her troubles—she almost got beaned with a basketball twice while
peacefully standing in the lobby.
Have you noticed the new furni­
ture arrangement in the music
room—pretty nice, thanks to Miss
Skinner, Miss Logan and the Key
Klub. Now if we could do a little
something like that to the lobby,
and a lot like that to the local
eyesore, otherwise known as the
Rec. room, we’d be getting some­
where. We might even go so far
as to have the radio fixed.
Phil Wright’s furniture has been
moved several times, once Norm
even found it in her room but Phil
finally retrieved it.
Hazel Taylor passed her medical
exam and, as a result is now a
ripple in the WAVES. However,
she isn’t planning to go on really
active duty until June. Mean­
while, Sal who signs herself “Pas­
sionately yours, the Sea Hag” is
still working off demerits.

A cheery hello to

thers!
The new gym was the scene of
an Intercollegiate Play Day last
Saturday with three other colleges
besides ourselves represented.
Those who participated in spite of
wartime restrictions, were Alle­
gheny, Villa Maria, and Mercy­
hurst. Each college had sixteen
girls who registered in basketball,
swimming and badminton.
In swimming Edinboro came in
first with “Tony” Henness and
Bette Miller receiving the trophies.
The rest of the swimming team
included “Nat” Jacobson, Peggy
Heim, Helen Merry, and Joyce
Ryder.
The ESTC Varsity basketball
team, which is composed of Ruth
Jones, Carol Davis, Eleanor Price,
Martha Oblinski, Margaret Creacraft, Virginia Stevenson, Louise
Hodnick, Violet Kimberlin, Bea
Hanna and Sybil Millspaw, placed
second with Villa Maria taking
first place. Ruth Jones won one
of the six trophies presented in
basketball.
Our badminton team was com­
posed of Marcia Johnson and
Helen Hansen. Villa Maria plac­

ESTC third.

From Westerville, Ohio, we hear
that our Rev. Dewey Long and
wife, Eloise, are having the time
of their lives, with both of them
attending college and keeping
house at the same time.
Clinton Thomas has charge of a
math, class, ’way over there in
New Guinea and gets a kick out
of being “teacher”.
The following is a letter, Mr.
Bates received from Roy Christen­
sen.
Hello Mr. Bates!
Well, here I am in rest camp
after quite a little skirmish in the
Marshalls. We took Namur Island
in the Kwapalein Attol; it was
h----- for a while, but it didn’t
take long to “slap the Japs”. I
have a lot of interesting stories to
tell about the things that happen­
ed. I think the best one, on the
humor side, was what a Jap pris­
oner said upon being captured:
Quote—“You may take this Island
but you’ll never take back Pearl
Harbor”.
I never thought a person could
get as dirty as we did during our
four days on the Island—showers
and good food aboard ship were
appreciated, no end.
Plenty of souvenirs were found;
among the few things that I pick­
ed up were a set of Jap brushes,
50 Yen, post cards, etc. The boys
also enjoyed some choice Jap beer
and Saki. We learned a lot from
our first battle and should do bet­
ter on our next.
Sincerely,
Chris
Our “daring Romeo”, Buckets, is
now attending school at Camp
Young, somewhere in the West.
His studies consist of anti-tank
mines, anti-personnel mines, boo­
by traps, and a considerable
amount of handling of T.N.T. and
other explosives. Say, Jack, now
that Spring’s not too far around
the corner, what’s this talk about
“submarine races”?
So Long, Fellows.

Here today, gone tomorrow—
that’s the way it is with these
guys. I’ll bet the postmasters are
having a ducky time, forwarding
mail. Just think, just a year or so
last week, Hell-week was on. Not
only were there superior and in­
ferior brother conflicts, but also
inter-fraternity wars also. Inter­
mural sports, bloodshed, etc. Gee,
looks like some nutty Nips heard
about E’boro’s Frat initiations and
got scared. Looks like they’re
carrying on an extensive form of
hell-week, only no paddles. Well,
quite a few of the guys in that
great brotherhood are doing their
part, and what a party—well, after
all, look at the experience they
had.
Al Bloch is harrying hell’s-heathens, the Nutzis, over in England.
Gee, the way he raised —?? at the
meetings, heaven help the Paperhanger if Brother Bloch goes ber­
serk!
Oh yes, then there’s Brother
Mensenger who’s at Will Rogers’
Field out west, where men are
men and their legs are like paren­
thesis. He’s a meteorologist and
who can tell, he’ll probably call
down a rain storm (we hope) on
the house boys who are putting up
“le resistance”. Soak ’em Jaxon!
We don’t hear much from Steve
Crunick, but then he always did
work quietly! He and wife, Junie,
are carrying on a campaign from
Kansas.
Since they’re both in the same
camp, heaven forgive the Army
for placing them there, Blasdell
and McCoy shall be mentioned as
one. Short discussion quote —
“Two guys—plenty wise, both are
swell—but will they raise----- ? ?

If they give Fiorelli a nut­
cracker, McIntosh a hammer,
Rockwell and Whitehill a paste­
brush and ladder, and the rest of
the gang an implement or two, we
promise an interesting but short
scuffle.

In The Service
Here we are again, another day,
another month, and another edi­
tion. Again we hope to take a
few minutes of your spare time
for a brief glimpse at our boys in
the armed forces, a brief refresher
as to where and to whom to send
what you do on your free nights.
(We hope) !
First we take a glance way over
in Italy where we find “Spider”
or Carmon Fiorelli. Carmon is
still in a Radar team and doing
quite well by himself. He’s quite
a guy, a Technical Sergeant, and
quite versatile with the gals in
the particular area which he cov­
ers, and I do mean “covers”.
Next we sidetrack your train
of thought to the “southern poshun of ouah fair country”. To be
more specific, Louisiana, where we
find the honorable Lt. C. M. Eisaman, Jr. and his housekeeper, that
luscious, delectable hunk of hu­
manity, namely, “da Blonde Bomb­
er Margie.” They’re still happy
and living in a heaven all their
own. Fate steps in this month
for Ikey makes the second “big”
move of his life, yep, he jumps
the puddle. Good luck, “Stumpy”.
Back up to the mountains of
Kentucky to that “Hoosier Hotshot” of Kentucky Moonshine and
Love-light, Sgt. “Porky” and Mrs.
“Muscles” Schlindwein. Fate also
has a hand in their near future,
for in a matter of weeks, Mickey
also moves, either west for man­
euvers or across. Rumor has it,
that he and Ikey have met, every
time they have moved.
Tired of this monotony, Ike says
if he sees Mickey in Tokyo, he’ll
strafe him, whereupon Mickey
.struck back by claiming if he sees
Ike flying over Berlin, he’ll knock
him down with a .50 caliber ma­
chine gun. Greater love hath no
man — ! ? ?
Oh joy, oh rapture! From our
imidst rises a movie star?? Lt.
'“Buckets” (droopy-drawers) Bon­
nett has been to Hollywood. Yep,
he made the grade with a few
Stars and starlets, but on the re­
turn trip, slid right into a mess of
sand, sand dunes, and sand storms,
no Arab babes there though—
tough, huh, Myrt?
Then there’s the case of Ensign
Whitehill—no, no,no, Richie, not
Joanne! ! We heard from a de­
pendable and — oh — ? ? ? Oh
well, from a dependable source,
that he’s riding in observation
planes and has visions of taking a
trip in a raid or two as a belly­
gunner. Playful guy — see how
lucky you girls are—but, oh Pris­
cilla, you poor dear! ! Remember
last year though? A “certain some­
one” told a certain someone, who
told everyone, that “Richie”
Whitehill was too fast for E’boro
girls, especially, Freshmen!

We’re off! This time to the
foggy, dark, confines of England.
Here we see Al Bloch, slowly push­
ing his way through a crushing,
pushing mob who are fighting their
way towards a small, dark air-raid
shelter. Why are they all trying
to get in this particular one? Be­
cause it’s so small—why is Alfy
fighting too? He’s from Edinboro
— Owo-o-o-o ! !
Well, guess that covers the front
for the present, we gotta go now.
See you next scribbling.

Off-Campus News
Say, kids, did you hear about
the weighty six-page letter from
New Guinea that Krafty keeps
under her pillow? It must have
been really good—the stamps he
put on it were all melted off, and
she had to pay six cents to get it.
If the off-campus cuties (?) were
seen wearing long faces last week,
the explanation was our sincere
concern for our honorable prexy,
who has been quite under the
weather. Glad to report that Sy­
bil’s better now and is back with
us again.
Hey, wasn’t it clever of Edie to
take a handsome sailor to the
swimming meet in case she fell
in? Anchors aweigh—there’s a
man in town!
What’s all this talk about toast­
ed cheese sandswiches? We hear
it’s a wonderful diet. If Miss
Logan doesn’t adopt it soon, the
dorm kids will all be coming to
Kappa Kappa Howe house for
lunch.
Speaking of Miss Logan, she
surely knows how to master the
problem of making the vitamins
go down easy. Since our last meet­
ing when she gave us some handy
hints for helpless housemates, not
one of us has been bothered with
rickets, heart-burn, or floating
ribs.
Well, Jeanne, lets see how tough
you are! (She threatened murder
if her name should appear in this
column.)
Did you see everyone at Haven
Hall falling all over themselves
last week to get a look at young
Penny Smith, youngest member of
the off-campus association?
The campus is deadened this
week by the temporary loss of one
of our first class morons, namely
Miss Mineo, who has been fooled
into think that Union City is bet­
