As the prospect of a month-long vacation- draws near, and
the Christmas season lurks behind every department store
Santa, the time seems ideal to take stock of what you’ve done
and how you've done it in this past school term.
The freshmen know what is expected of them and what
they can expect from College. The uncertainty is gone; the
novelty has worn off. If, perhaps, the resluts of this term
were not entirely satisfactory, this month’s vacation is a good
opportunity for them to appraise their goals and make any
necessary chaanges in their study program.
The sophomores will welcome this month’s break also. Cer
tainly accustomed to college by now, they, nevertheless, have
much to consider in respect to their increasingly difficult
courses and their all-important choice of a major field of study
and future vocation in life.
Above all, this holiday (season is, of course, one of peace and
joy and love, a time of merriment and celebration, a time to
rest our bodies and minds in the anticipation of a memorable
holiday, With this thought foremost in our minds, we wish
to the students and faculty a most MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Mr. Thomas Price
DEAR EDITORS:
This season there will be no in
tramural basketball teams. The
intramural football league has col-
lapsed.
These are just two instances of
the lack of student interest at the
Hazleton Campus in activities pro
moted by the SGA.
As these games take place dur
ing the school day, there is no ex
cuse for more students not taking
part in the athletic activities at
Highadres.
The sports program is certainly
diversified enough to please any
one’s taste. Chess, Ping Pong,
Football, Bowling, Basketball are
all scheduled.
One solution, perhaps, would be
more active spectator support,
This would encourage others to
work harder to improve the sports
program,

our freedom.
Mr. Petruska thanked the Amer

the flagpole before a full assem
blage of students.

gionnaires for the program in cre
ating active Americanism and
practicing good citizenship.
Last Meeting
Of Glee Club
The Glee Club at Highacres has
disbanded for the holidays. It will
resume activities in January.
The members of this group as
well as the Director, Mr. Burton
Hall, were quite disappointed with
the attendance during the Fall
Term. It is sincerely hoped that
next term those who are interested
in joining will do so.
Mr. Hall not only directs the
club, but also coaches the mem
bers in the proper use of their
voices.
THANKSGIVING
DANCE SUCCESS
Turkey, pumpkin pie, old
friends, and rock and roll made a
delightful mixture for PSU stu
dents over the Thanksgiving hol
iday week-end.
On the eve of the big day, No
vember 22, a dance was held on
campus to the music of the Bed
Diamonds. This lively local group
sent students into a happy, thank
ful holiday whirl of Limbo, twist
ing, and cha-cha that, more likely
than not, contributed immensely to
hearty appetites on the following
day.
