My magical mystery tour
at Highacres has ground itself
to a screeching halt after two
ever-eventful years here at the
crazy merry-go-round on the hill
as I have lovingly christended
Highacres.
Two years can become a life'
time, as these two years have
become for me—a special life
time I will always remember and
cherish.
In these two years I have
seen many changes and many spe
cial events on campus.
I have seen the first steps
taken in the construction of a
physical education building. I
have seen the retirement of two
well-known and beloved profes-

sors, Elizabeth Bodenstein and
Andrew Kafka.
I have seen a new director
come to Highacres, Dr. William
David, and have had the dis
tinct pleasure of getting to
know both him and his lovely
wife.
I have seen a new Assistant
Dean of Student Affairs move in
to the office in the Commons,
the same time that I moved in
to my office in the game room,
and will always cherish the mem
ory of the help and understand
ing that this remarkable man,
Everitt F. Binns, has afforded
to myself and my staff, in fact,
to everyone on campus.
I have seen a number of new
instructors begin careers at
Highacres, among them Dr. Chris
tie Lerch, Dr. Laura Dill, Dr.
Carl Frankel, Thomas Caccese,
Mrs. Norma Moyer.
I have, this past weekend,
seen the most significant cul
tural event ever held at High
acres, the Greater Hazleton Area
Fine Arts Festival, held at
Highacres for the first time
this year, which attracted over
5,000 people. This event will'
greatly enhance community and
cultural involvement with the
campus.
I have seen the founding
of three new clubs—the Drama
Club, of which I am proud to
have had a part, the Parachute
Club and the Chess Club. I
have seen the expansion of the
Student Union Board and have
witnessed the growth of the
Collegian to an intelligent and
informative student newspaper,
a growth which reflects the in
terest of a number of people,
whom I would like to thank.
Eirst of all, I would
like to express the apprecia
tion of myself and the rest
of the staff to Dr. Michael San
tulli, who has always been ready
and willing to hel£ us when
ever we needed him, ever-pres
ent with advice, good ideas,
and general encouragement,
along with innovative sugges
tions .
Everitt F. Binns has been
a constant source of encourage
ment and help to the Collegian
[this year. He was always will
ing to take the time to discuss
campus activities with a staff
members, and suggested many in
teresting article ideas. Be
sides giving us news, he has
been responsible for making a
great deal of it, for without
Mr. Binns, a number of the
events and activities at High
acres this year would not have
been possible. Ee has devo
ted himself to literary and
cultural pursuits, and his
major interest is- in making the
campus a better and more en
riching experience for all thosi
who attend it. What more could
a newspaper ask than a man who
has literally made a huge
tion of the news we print.
I would like to thank
Richard Campbell and Carl
Frankel, who took the time to
write editorials for the paper,
editorials Which were contro
versial and sparked student
interest. James White has
also been extremely helpful in
his career information bulle
tins.
We would like to express
our appreciation to Mrs. Deidre
Jago and Tom Caccese for their
aid in the sports reporting.
James Canconnon, with his off- 1
beat coverage of a number of
events, has livened up the
sports page.
We would like to thank
the SGA and the SUB, who have
kept us informed of their plans
and their activities for the
past year.
And last, but certainly
not least, I personally would
like to thank my staff: Chris
tie Tito, executive editor;
Donald R. Serfass, managing
editor; Jim Gormley, repor
ter at large, who is well
known for his controversial
articles; Barbie Mace, in
charge of Library News; Joyce
Barton, RH correspondent and
editorialist; M. Hydock, sports
reporter; Ben Baltrousaitus,
reporter; Kurt Nenstiel, com
position assistant; Jim Durso,
reporter, and many more.
The two years have been
busy and ever-eventful. There
have been a lot of changes, a
lot of growth, a lot of effort
and a lot of accomplishment.
I’m proud of what we have done,
what Highacres has done. It
is a growth and expansion that
I am proud to have had a part
And now, two years after I
began my love affair with High
acres, I bid a tearful farewell
to the valley, to all of the
wonderful people I have met
here who will remain ever-be-
loved in my memory, to the Vir-
