GUEST POET:
Oafishness Sells Good, Like
An Advertisement Should
I guess it is farewell to grammat-
ical compunction,
I guess a preposition is the same
as a conjunction,
I guess an adjective is the same
as an adverb,
And “to parse” is a bad verb.
Blow, blow, thou winter wind,
Thou art not that unkind
Like man’s ingratitude to his
ancestors who left him the
English language for an in-
heritance;
This is a chromium world in
which even the Copley-Plazas
and the Belvederes and the
Book-Cadillacs are simplified
into Sheratons.
I guess our ancient speech has
gone so flat that we have to
spike it;
Like the hart panteth for the
water-brooks I pant for a
revival of Shakespeare’s
“Like You Like It”
I can see the tense draftees relax
and purr
When the sergeant barks, “Like
you were!”
And don’t try to tell me that our
well has been defiled by
immigration;
Like goes Madison Avenue, like so
goes the nation.

SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS
THROUGH THE YEAR
The athletic program at High
acres consists mainly of basket
ball on the intramural level with
some participation in the Penn
State Center League. This year
the winner of the intramurals
represented Highacres in games
against Scranton and Wilkes-
Barre Centers and Keystone Jun
ior College. We are grateful to
Professors Esher and Defina for
their assistance in the intra
murals, and also to Mr. David
Van Ormer, who staunchly drove
the team to away-games. The
members of the team were
awarded sweatshirts along with
medals, which will be presented at
Convocation.
The bowling program consisting
of a co-ed league also completed
a successful year. Anthony Ro
man received a trophy for the
highest individual average.
Spinning with Spina
By Don Spina
The $7.50 (approximately)
asked for the new parking lot is
only half of the $l5 registration
fee for student vehicles at the
main campus. Sounds like a fair
deal here!
For those girls transferring to
the main campus, a new ruling by
the Woman’s Student Government
Association has extended the
weekly “check-in” hour from ten
to eleven-thirty each night.
Election of officers for next
term sophomores (Fall of 1960)
is underway. Petitions are being
accepted by Mr. Mattern and Mr.
Kidd.
Which one of our Campus
faculty is experiencing aches and
pains from trying to keep up
with our Saturday dynamic
“Campus Clean-up Men,” Bob
Perugini, Carl Chedwiggen,
Dennis Miller, and John
Boccadori ?
We understand that the skele
ton in Professor Steel’s Zoology
lab, unstairs on the third floor, is
looking for a companion. Any
ideas? Incidentally, shouldn’t we
give her a name first?
Ruth and Vivian, our two
indispensable secretaries, have
been trying out their journalistic
skill as part of the Secretaries’
Week publicity.
Have all the girls that are
interested in the May Day
festivities arranged for an escort
as yet? Sorry! We don’t have a
list of available men on hand.
Three Bibles, representing three
faiths—the Hebrew, Catholic, and
Protestant - were presented to
our Library.

Highacres Well Represented At Main Campus
Twelfth Annual Reading Festival
PRESENT BEST DRAMATIC READINGS Isadore Brody,
President of the Belles-Lettres Society, and Bob Perugini, Vice-Pres
ident, congratulate the winners of the Highacres’ Second Annual
Reading Festival. Left to right, the winners are Gean Ackerman, Fred
Keller, Joan Yencho, and Basil Augustine. They represented our local
campus at The Twelfth Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Reading Festival
at University Park Campus.
On April 28, 1960, the winners
of the Highacres Second Annual
Reading Festival held here on
March 29, 1960, Joan Yencho,
Basil Augustine, Fred Keller and
Gean Ackerman, attended the
full-day session of the Twelfth
Annual Main Campus Reading
Festival.
They participated by presenting
the following selections:
Gean Ackerman presented “The
Beautiful Story” by Michael Fos
ter. Robert Frost’s “The Death of
a Hired Man” was given in
dramatic form by Yencho,
Augustine and Keller.
Also representing Highacres,
were Isadore Brody, President of
Belles-Lettres Society, Bob Per
ugini, Vice President, and George
Doherty, Secretary. The sponsor
of Belles-Lettres Society, Prof.
Andrew Kafka, accompanied the
group, as did Mr. Thomas Kidd,
manager of the SUB.
The trip by these participants
was the “awards” given them as
the four winners of the Second
Annual Interpretive Reading
Festival held in our SUB. The
following are the selections and
students who participated:
Spring, A Villain?
Spring! Friend or Foe? This is
a question that faced many of the
students here at Highacres this
week. Your inquiring reporter
received several reactions, and
some students were even talented
enough to put their ideas and
impressions into poetry ( ?).
Anna Colancecco had this to say
in answer to the question “Is
spring friend or foe?”: “Much to
our dismay, it is a lot of both.
We all welcome the change of
weather that accompanies spring,
but it is precisely that change
that is also our ‘foe.’ Who feels
like sitting in a warm, stuffy
classroom for the greater part of
a beautiful day? Not very many
students, I’m afraid. But, there
is also a positive side to the
situation. In just a few weeks,
summer vacation will be here. No
more books, no more school work,
no more studying! So, if we keep
in mind the near future, the
present condition can be
tolerated.”
Joe Bolitsky thinks that spring
is a good time to lie down under
a nice shady tree and sleep.
Bob Petras’ ideas on spring will
probably hold true for many of
us. He has put his ideas into the
following doggerel verse:
Winter has its struggles ceased
Spring is here, all are pleased
For snow offers no good excuse
To rest, and loaf, and work refuse.
After speaking with these and
many other students, the majority
agrees that spring is certainly a
villain, distracting us from our
studies and reminding us that “In
spring a young man’s fancy (and
girl’s also) lightly turns to ”
Well, we will let you flll-in the
rest.
