“It is not what we have but what
we use in loving service that makes
life rich and full” was the motto of
the Fall Conference of the Student
Volunteer Movement that was held
at Waynesburg College on October
14, 15 and 16.
Edinboro was one of the four col
leges of Pennsylvania and West Vir
ginia that sent a total of nearly one
hundred delegates to the meeting.
The others were Alderson Broaddus
College, Morris Harvey College, and
Waynesburg College. Those who at
tended from here were Dr. E. Leigh
Mudge, who is an executive advisor
of the movement, and four sopho
more students—Ruth Handley, Ethel
Thomson, Loren Whitney, and Rich
ard Benson.
'■'••legates Left Friday
The cte.egates left for Waynesburg
on Friday and arrived there around
noon. The town people were very
gracious in opening their homes to
them and doing everything possible
to make them feel welcome. While
talking about the trip, Ruth Handley
remarked, “I never saw a more
friendly group of people than those
we met at Waynesburg.”
The conference started at 2:00 on
Friday afternoon and from then on
every minute was taken up with some
sort of activity until Sunday noon.
There was an “Ice Breaker” party
Friday evening so that everyone got
acquainted and it was this party that
helped to make the conference such
a great success.

“It is not what we have but what
we use in loving service that makes
life rich and full” was the motto of
the Fall Conference of the Student
Volunteer Movement that was held
at Waynesburg College on October
14, 15 and 16.
Edinboro was one of the four col
leges of Pennsylvania and West Vir
ginia that sent a total of nearly one
hundred delegates to the meeting.
The others were Alderson Broaddus
College, Morris Harvey College, and
Waynesburg College. Those who at
tended from here were Dr. E. Leigh
Mudge, who is an executive advisor
of the movement, and four sopho
more students—Ruth Handley, Ethel
Thomson, Loren Whitney, and Rich
ard Benson.
'■'••legates Left Friday
The cte.egates left for Waynesburg
on Friday and arrived there around
noon. The town people were very
gracious in opening their homes to
them and doing everything possible
to make them feel welcome. While
talking about the trip, Ruth Handley
remarked, “I never saw a more
friendly group of people than those
we met at Waynesburg.”
The conference started at 2:00 on
Friday afternoon and from then on
every minute was taken up with some
sort of activity until Sunday noon.
There was an “Ice Breaker” party
Friday evening so that everyone got
acquainted and it was this party that
helped to make the conference such
a great success.

The nickname of “Mom” to Mrs.
Forness is certainly considered ap
propriate by many boys she has kept
happy....Every night at 11:30 our fair
Dorm is entertained by “Turn off the
lights in your room. It’s after elev
en o’clock”.
How are Gallagher and Krivonak
hitting it off?....Bob Hahn is doing
excellent in female psychology....Dick
Benson is said to be selling a lot of
candy for the ScaRAb Club....The
formula for entering any Reeder
Room is to open the door and step
back....

We all hope Averyl’s pink sweater
is at the game Saturday because
we’ve just got to win. Many of the
freshmen have remarked about Jean
Strohecker’s most pleasing personal

writes love and hisses to three times
a week? How can Maxine Teetsel
and Marty Schweller find so much
to argue about when they’re both
such nice people?
We wonder if
Jean Carlson will get writer’s cramp
from writing so many letters home.
It’s obvious that Mary Lou Whit

men agree with the upper classmen
in that Marjorie Welsh is one of the
nicest gals on the campus.
Billie

We hear Marian Duffy got stung
