The Belles Lettres Society encourages creative writing, criticized
students' work when submitted and analyzes literary compositions for the
purpose of examining writing techniques. Plans for this year include
another Reading Festival, a cultural tour, talks by several guest speak
ers, and discussions on the merits of poems, essays, novels, and short
stories composed by members of the society and by professionals.
The College Arts Society's primary cultural role at Highacres
serves in bringing to the student body outstanding films, both foreign
and domestic, which have probably not been seen by the students. For
the future, the society has plans for expanding its activities. The
sponsering of artistic recitals and lecture series has been given some
thought.
The College-Community Chorus presents two concerts yearly. The
only requirement for membership is an interest in singing. The group is
composed of students t faculty and members of the community. They meet
once a week for a praatice session.
Interest in journalism finds an outlet in participating on the
Collegian staff. If you have ever worked on a high school newspaper or
if you just like to type, read copy, run a mimeo machine, draw, write
or if you are mechanically inclined--this is for you. The fact that all
of last year's staff but two have transferred to the Main Campus has left
the paper in dire need of workers. If the paper is going to continue
new recruits must be found in the freshman class. If you are interested
pleasesign the paper on the bulletin board on the 2nd floor of the Main
Building. You will then be notified as to the date of the first orgaii
zational and introductory meeting.
Parnadsus is Hazleton Campus' honor society. As such Parnassus
recognizes students for their scholastic achievements and for active part
icipation in organized activities. Students are chosen on the basis of
their scholarship averages and total number of activity points. They
must have completed one or more semesters of college work, earned a 2.8
average and accumulated four activity points per semester.
