The students here at Highacres were recently asked the question: Do you think that a letter grade grading system is as fair as a nu merical grading system? The re plies were numerous and a repre sentative sample is as follows: Paulette Platukis (2Ed) — “The numerical system is fairer than the letter grade, because the letter grade can cover too wide a range. With the numerical sys tem, the person will get exactly what he deserves as his final av erage and the teachers will not have as hard a time interpreting what the student has or has not learned.” Edie Carmadella (2LA) — “The letter grade is better, be cause sooner or later you will be the student who gets an 80 for a HIGHACRES C. Cassarella Interview Informs Student Body Of Bowling Technique Bowling is the favorite pastime of many, and in this issue, the Collegian sports staff has gone “E Pluribus Unum” and picked out a young man who has a way with the pins on any alley. His name is Danny Cassarella, and his personal 3 game average high is 190 pins Danny has been bowling for ap proximately five years, and in that time, he won 12 trophies. He also has been spearheading the intra mural tournaments here at High acres. He considers the game as wonderful competition; however, he adds that “to be good one must practice and get a strike on the first ball.” That last remark came from Danny during a personal in terview in January. At that time, we asked him for a few comments on the game, and he was gracious enough to help us out. We asked Danny how to ap proach the pins, and this is what he said one could do to play a de cent game. (1) Use a comfortable, approach. (2) Always make an attempt to strike. (3) Concentrate. (4) Follow through. (5) Allow for normal movement of your body. (6) Always keep palms up be fore delivery of ball, and re- B or an 89 for a B. Usually things will average out.” Vince Gennaro (BEET) — “Neither of them are much dif ferent, and each has its advan tages. Letter grades at times can provide prestige for the ‘Bo’ stu dent who gets a B.” Susan Brown (7Ed) — “The numerical system is fairer because the C student can have a 70 or 79 and can be treated as equal, even though 79 is one point away from a B, and 70 is one point away from a D.” James Nester (3Eng)— “If the grades are to indicate what the student knows, the nu merical system is more fair be cause it is more detailed.” Marcia Juda (5Ed) — •LEGIAN NCAMPUS lease the ball naturally. In closing our interview, we asked what he liked about the game. The following are a few of his responses: (1) I like the game because any one can participate in the sport at any time. (2) I would at some time like to participate in pro com petition. (3) It’s something I enjoy very much. Danny bowls at the Hazleton Bowl Arena every Sunday and will participate in the Regional Tour nament on February 6 and 6. Crazy? Here’s a good sample of the un usual requests that we receive ev ery now and then. A school librarian wrote and asked for a price on replacement casters for a book truck. The type of casters she wanted were, “2 straight and 2 crazy”! The employer hung signs about the office bearing the message: “Do It Now!” By the end of the week the cashier skipped with $30,000, the head bookkeeper eloped with his private secretary, and three clerks asked for a raise. “The numerical system is fairer because it will show that your mark is the. highest, lowest or whatever. The numerical system gives credit where credit is due.” Gary Schuck (4DD)— “The numerical is better. The 61 student and the 69 student will not be considered as equals, as they are in the letter grade system.” Elaine Hahn (sCoun) “A person who really puts an effort forth into studying may gain a grade point average of an 89, while another student may put forth less effort and get an 81. Using the letter grade system, both students will get a B; yet, there is a wide margin between their respective grade point av erages.” February 10, 1965 Yule Fete Given To Needy Youth For the fourth year in a row, the underclassmen at Highacres showed the community that they are “top drawer” in civic and .charitable awareness when they sponsored their annual Christmas Party for needy children. The purpose for this Yuletide Party was to make Christmas a little happier for children from the Hazleton chapters of the United Charities, the welfare agencies, the Salvation Army, and the Catholic Charities. Over . 100 children from these various com munity agencies were treated at the party on Sunday, Decem ber 20. At the time of the party, toys which were donated by local mer chants and national toy concerns were presented to the children. Jerome Kapes, president of the Student Government Association, was in charge, while Janine Meholick and Coleen Malone served as chairman of gifts and of foods respectively. James Ross was financial solicitor. Joseph Zola also served on the SGA committee. Authentic Ivy Fashions For Class and Campus A DISTINCTIVE SHOP FOR MEN 42 W. Broad St. Hazleton, Pa.
