HIGIIACRES COLLEGIAN
SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS
THROUGH THE YEAR
Although the Hazleton Campus
no longer competes in intercolle
giate basketball, a few years ago
it was in the midst of exciting
campaigns in the Pennsylvania
Junior College Athletic Associa
tion.
Hazleton was a charter member
of that league, which was founded
in 1945. The Mountain Lions, as ;
the campus team was then known,
won the state championship in
1948 against such college aggrega
tions as Albright, Franklin and
Marshall, and Kings.
In 1954 the Mountain Lions won
the league title, hut lost in the
finals of the state playoffs. Som e
outstanding members of previous
teams were Nick Ledger and Jim
Roley.
Hazleton was forced to withdraw
from the association's basketball
league in 1955, because of a player
shortage, when leading the league
by two full games.
The athletic program at present
is largely on the intramural level
with some participation in the
Penn State ('enter League. This
I eague consists of Scranton,
Wilkes-Barre, and Hazleton Cen
ters. ll'azieton was overwhelming
champion this year turning in a
neat 4-0 record.
Other programs, such as bowl
ing, softball, and fencing' are also
sponsored at Ilighacres. The em
phasis in recent years has been on
bowling. with softball de-empha
sized and fencing interest apa
thetic due to lack of trained people
in this field. Professors De Finn
and Esher assisted and advised in
the intro-murals.

that when the Hazleton Center was
located on Broad Street in Hazle

only 21) to :In books! These
books were stored in an upstairs
cubby-hole. Comparing this num
ber with the 6400 books that are
now in the library, we observe the
growth which this vital and in

has undergone.

approached Professor Andrew Kaf
ka who was discussing this subject
with a few freshmen. He was say
ing that an ancient philosopher
may have Mid one idea when he
declared that "the imaxamined
life was not worth living," but now
is the time to have this philoso-
Idler's attitude toward exams.
Professor Kafka read the follow

exams, and dedicated to the BLUE

Alere p .1 and precision are
needed in order to give evidence
that in 1;/56 when Mrs. Mary Fer

the approximate total number of
books was 4600. This number has
been increased to approximately
1;400 at the last inventory.
Circulation is about :1400 books
per month. A total of 72 periodic
