Belles-Lettres
The Belles-Lettres Society, un
like most clubs at the Hazleton
Campus, does not readily reveal
its many functions in its title.
“Belles,” the Latin term for
beautiful, combined with “Let
tres,” simply implies that the
members are concerned with
beautiful letters. What do these
so-called beautiful letters entail?
As all Belles Lettre enthusiasts
know, this society is the Campus’
answer to anyone eager to ex
press his capabilities in the cul
tural fields. Art exhibits, such as
the one sponsored during the fall
term by the Hazleton Art League,
reading festivals, held on both
college and highschool levels, and
an annual trip to New York to
view a Broadway Play are a few
of the highlights of the Belles-
Lettres year.
Of course, Belles-Lettres mem
bers do not receive all these ben
efits without putting forth effort.
They are expected to support the
organization through committee
participation and all-round club
interest. Naturally, they are al
ways willing and eager to accept
new members who will help to
broaden the club horizons.
