April 1, 1955
The fourth semester drafting and electrical technology students are being
interviewed for permanent jobs, which they will take after graduation. Some
of the corporations holding the interviews are in Hazleton; others are as far away
as California*
The first of these was held at Highacres by Link .aviation Company of
New York. The representative of this company, which makes the link trainer used
in instructing pi lots, was here about two weeks ago.
The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company and the armco Steel Corporation,
both from Ohio, have sent applications which have been filled out and returned.
The actual i nterviews will come later at the plants of these two companies. The
Armco Company is' opening a new division and *s interested in the designing
and development of new steel buildings.
On March 30, students were interviewed by Mr, Baldwin and Mr. Inda of
North American Aviation Inc., of California, which manufactures guided missels.
Mr. Eekroth, the personnel manager of Dorr-Oliver, Inc., of Hazleton,
wi 11 s rftterv4®w students on April 5 and 6. The Dorr-Oliver Company is a manufacture
of optmerolapli and industrial filters, used in water filtration, sewage disposal
and sugar manufacturing, to mention only a few.
In the near future, interviews will be held in the electronic division of
the Curtis Wright plant, which makes synthetic electronic flight instructing
equipment. Applications have been returned and the interviews will be held
at Carlstadt, New Jersey. Arrangements are also being made for future inter
views by Champ Hats Tnc., of Sunbury. as far as is now known, the last group
of interviews will be held on April 20, by Mr. Bacon of the General Electric Co.
Last Monday, the first Leadership Lab of the semester was held. Cadets
were organized into flights and some time was spent on marching instructions.
This lab will be held each Monday during the 9th period for the remainder of
the semester, weather permitting.
Due to the fact that Capt. Carper was unable to be present for the Thursday
classes, there will be a Sophomore ROTC class held on Monday, sth period.
Today is that cr-aazy day when people try to make bigger fools of themselves
and each other than they do the other 364 days of the year. This they try to
acheive by playing pranks on each other. The victim of a practical joke 4s an
April Fool. Yfe thought it might be interesting to find out whether any of the
students here at Highacres were ever the victims of April Fools jokes, so we
asked a few of them the question: "Were you ever an April Fool?"
Theresa Bobowski—-r-Yes, I was. One April 1, a boy called me up and asked
me for a date, and X accepted thinking it was some of my girl friends playing a
joke. At eight o'clock that evening, as I was sitting around in old clothes,
the doorbell rang and T found that I had made a r al date.
