March 18, 1955 . On Monday a group of Sophomores went to State College for their physical examinations in order to apply for advanced ROTC training. The trip to and from State College was aided by good weather and clear roads. A few people were practicing their flying ability by trying to take off hers and there, but unfortunately a car just won't fly, so they just had to be satisfied with bumping along on the ground. A couple of people took a long, long short cut getting home,.but after a few hurried checks with road maps (by the way, did anyone learn to fold one of them) and a few choice comments, they ware off again and this time in the right direction. The main campus lived up to its' reputation of being an impossible maze of roads. The hospital seemed to keep moving from one side of the campus to the other. Everytime the Cadets got directions to the placo, they would drive there only to find that someone.had some new directions to get to the place. After wandering around, they finally found the place hiding across from the new Rec Building. Sonn the tests were underway and soon completed. After the tests all returned home safe, tired, bleary eyed (from driving and not from anything else) and all ready for Mr. Krecker's Political Science mental exercise on Tuesday, Now that warm weather has finally managed to squeeze in, the winter vacation from Leadership Labs is just about ended. Starting a week from Monday, the ball diamond will be covered with assorted sizes of Cadetsal'l shined and ready for a new season of drilling, well, at least we hope so. The labs will be held for the rest of the semester on Monday during the 9th period. On the 28th day of this month, a week from Saturday, the Air Force Officers Qualification Tests will take place for all Sophomores who have passed the physical exams for advancement. There will be eight hours of testing. These tests are given every year for the Cadets who are interested in advancement and consist of many aptitude and similar examinations. The Civil Air Patrol of Hazleton has been going thru a rejuvenation recently and several Cadets have been attending the meetings« Capt. Carper has on several occasions, spoken at the meetings and has shown pictures. Last Saturday, Pete McMonigle and Halter Seeley were engaged in flying with the CAP from Hazleton Airport and took part in several exercises that were given. Last night the ling Commander of the CAP in this area came up from Allentown and talked to the group. Plans are now being made, with the .sing Commander, for obtaining two aircraft for the Hazleton unit. These aircraft would be used to give the CAP members flight instructions and flying experience. Anyone who is interested can easily join the unit. 'Pith the aircraft, this will be a good chance for members to obtain flight instruction for a very small fee. Although there was a cancellation of the staff meeting last Monday, because of the trip to the main campus, there will be a meeting on Monday during the fifth Hazleton collectan U * 4 jl .Mi lii «•+ mm R 0 T C NETS Off ©ley lent l Monday Class Coming xFCQT Tests Due Soon Hazleton CAP Staff Meeting Monday Being Attended
