    Around Capital College
By Judy L. Hricak
How did you spend your Spring
Question:
Break?
Bob Birmingham--I had no spring break. I spent it student teaching at
Middletown High School. Although it was nice not having Pat Gaffey as a
roommate for an entire week.
Ed Hein--I worked 40 hours, partied my ass off, I even tried to find myself
(but I couldn't). I went to New Xork for a day and had a ball.
Bob Putt--I got grass under my fingernails, hit my hand with a hammer, and
broke a $2OO piece of Dad's equipment.
Tim Ritter--Immediately after school on Friday, I went to the action packed
Potter County to a hunting camp. Needless to say, I saw more deer than
girls, and more snow than sun. I ended up playing cards, smoking, and
drinking for three days with two other guys.
Mike Rolles--I went to Potter County and spent three days in a cabin with
two other beer drinking, card playing, cigarette smoking great guys. The rest
of my time was spent shoveling snow and doing automobile repair. No
homework was done, and I'm sorry.
Eric R. Geuss--Boston. I spent my break in Boston. Spectacular. Excellent
weather. Didn't even get to see 'Cheers. Can you believe it? But I think I
was drunk every night, I don't remember.
Jeff Hake--I spent my break wishing I was back in school. Ha! Ha! Ha!
Karl Brown--Thinking about starting my school work
Michael Seibert--I had my vacation in Kutztown at Kutztown U. I got drunk,
_ _ _ _, and had a geat time.
Pat Gaffey--On Monday, the famed James Cumiskey and myself departed from
Harrisburg with enough gas money to drive to Florida and back, with $B5 to
spend. One night in a hotel cost us $55, so we only had $35 left. In Florida,
there was abet called "The Bank." They served free chicken wings every day
during happy hour. Thus, we ate those wings on Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday and that's all we ate.
On Wednesday, we met a guy from Boston College who asked if he
could hang around with us. We went to a bar called "Jack's Place" and he paid
a $lOB bar bill.
We also met a National L4ague umpire who absolutely loved us
because our clothes didn't match, and we needed a shave. He offered to let us
eat and sleep at his condo for as long as we wanted. However, we knew that
we had to come back to beautiful Pennsylvania and the wonderful instructors
at Penn State Harrisburg.
The rest of the nights we spent in the Red Tempo Inn (my car).
There were only a few problems incurred during the week. Jim received a $3O
Public Drinking fine while carrying Tom, the student from Boston College,
down the street. I even tried to save a woman from drowning. The only
problem was that she was just swimming. In the process, I lost my Driver's
License.
The total bar bill paid while we were in Florida was well over $2OO
We owe our lives to Tom.
Sean Kirkpatrick--On my spring break, I went home, home to a town that
worships me. Not much goes on in my hometown, so I decided to get a job.
My job this spring break was to walk my neighbor's dog.
His name was Chester. Four times a day, I would walk the dog.
Afterwards, I would go downtown to the malt shop with friends, and hang out.
Sometimes for fun, if we had extra money, we would buy fries.
This would happen every day. Oh yea, one time I got a $lO fine for
not picking up Chester's business. It made the front page of the local paper, a
paper with a circulation of 20, but growing.
As the break wound down, I began to long for the companionship of
my buddies back at Meade heights. (Especially Jim). Did I mention that I
worship him from afar?
On Saturday, there was a parade that went the whole three blocks of
my hometown. On Sunday, the whole town wished me a fond adieu. And
with a tear in my eye, I went back to school. I hope that Chester is O.K.
