Highacres personnel changes take place
by Donn Roberts
During the Fall term, several
personnel changes occurred at
Highacres. Among these are Ms.
Sue Ann Cervasio, Miss Cheryl
Hinkle, and Mrs. Claire Richard

Sue Ann Cervasio had meld a

she was transferred to a clerical

A corny tale of a freshman
by Jerry Trently
Bob was far from bright. In
fact, most considered him the
slowest-witted student ever to at
tend Ilighacres. No one knows
just how he was accepted In the
first place, but nonetheless, Bob
wandered around the campus
with a grace of a two-legged tur
tle,
Bob was strange, too. Kids just
laughed at the freshman as he
went from class to class, com
prehending and speaking
nothing. Harassment constantly
plagued Bob. He lived like a her
mit and slept in his car. He park
ed in the Laurel Mall lot to avoid
college pranksters. Between
classes, Bob collected acorns by
the hundreds. Rain or shine, he
collected them until his trunk
overflowed.
As the semester wore on, pro
fessors awed at the consistency of
Bob's grades. He was failing
every class and was absent most
of the time. Instead he would be
seen hunched near oak trees col
lecting his bounty.
One night, faintly illuminated
by the lights on his dashboard,
Bob sat, prudently examining an
acorn, deliberating on every
detail. He broke it open, bisecting
it like a biology buff with his first
frog. His hands trembled as he
raised the acorn to his lips. With
as much caution and reservation
as a first kiss, Bob slowly pushed
to see more kids. I don't mind the
switch at all, just as long as I'm
working at Penn States" Ex
plains Dr. David, "In Sue Ann's
case, it was a matter of putting
people where they were needed
the most."
For Cheryl Ainkle, the lob will

Mrs. Michele Jais returns from

have it. Now I can earn money
while deciding which way to go
the acorn into -his mouth. He
chewed, paused briefly, then
swallowed it, His fascination
became an addiction as he began
eating acorns as if they were pop
corn at a movie theatre.
When Bob woke the next day he
felt different Not so much
physically, but mentally. He
couldn't wait to get to class, he
had a vigorous, fresh attitude.
For the first time in his life, Bob
took notes. After class he spent
hours in the library combing the
shelves for books. He was a
changed person. He secured a
job, he moved to the dorm, he
joined clubs, and finally
developed character.
However, Bob still ate acorns.
He collected them at night when
no one would see him. In the
meantime, Bob's grades rose as
toundingly. He was pulling

For kicks, Bob took his college
boards over. He was the attention

newspapers, and news broad

perfect score in the history of the

After weeks of coaxing, Bob
agreed to a press conference. It
was a spring day in the gym when
he addressed the overflow crowd
of students, reporters and facul

reason for his high 1.Q., but he
chose not to reveal it to anyone.

Can't be found in a new town
Eric Riedinger
Strange surroundings, oh strange bed,
strange place to be,
Drinking wine by the window pane
and thinking where it's all been,
All the memories locked in my head,
It seems forever started only yesterday,
Can't even see past me.
Oh, in a new town and feeling so down,
Not even a familiar sound, through
the night's frosty ground,
Feeling so down, can't be found,
can't be found . . .
I met on the beach, last week
on the sand we laid,
All the memories lost in my head,
Long blonde hair, resting in the shade,
Eyes so wide, I could feel the
drifting tide,
The lights were going down as
she whispered a familiar sound,
Boardwalk noise, shells in the
sea and can't even see past me.
Oh, in a new town and feeling so down,
Have a girl in my heart,
But, on yes, we had to part,
Feeling so down, can't be found,
can't be found . .
