HIGHACRES PERSONALITIES
MRS. FERRY
Thirteen years ago the Hazle
ton campus acquired a new 11-
brartian and English teacherS.
The trees have grown consider
ably since then, other than that
Mrs. Ferry sees, ". . that the
student, academically, are just
as serious but more pressure is
being put on them today."
Born in Jim Thorpe, Pa., Mrs.
Ferry divides her time . between
being a librarian, housewife and
mother of two active teenagers.
in a phrase, she has "a lot to
look back on." Not only did she
receive an equivilant in a Mas-
MRS. FERRY
ters of Library Science but be
fore that she majored in elemen
tary education at Kutztown State
College and acquired a B.S. IN
SECONDARY EDUCATION AT
Muhlenberg College.
There is nothing Mrs. Ferry
finds discrediting about High
acres. She feels that not enough
reading is being done but cites
one of the reasons for this. "The
change from semesters to terms
took away the students' leisure
time to explore the library and
read for relaxation." She does
not dream of hoards of biblioman
iacs overrunning thi place but
she would like to establish a
closer contact with the students
in order to " . . . help more of
them use the library effectively."
Since Mrs. Ferry has two teen
agers of her own she feels that
she can pretty well understand
the youth of today and sees most
of their problems as being over
publicized. "I still have faith in
the young people of America,
they are more independent and
out in the open about things.
think this is very good."
Mrs. Ferry is looking forward
to the expansion of the campus
which will include a new library
able to hold forty thousand vol
umes compared to fifteen thous
and in the present library.
Her philosophy of life: "Work
hard, keep busy, and set periods
aside each day for reading."
BONNIE BANGOR
There is an uncountable num
ber of dynamic industrious young
people in this world today and
Bonnie Bangor from Hazleton,
Pa., is one of them.
Now a sophomore, Bonnie is
majoring in history. Her interest
stems from •the reason that "His
tory will bring me closer to
people, many classes of people,
and I will learn how to approach
them with better understanding.
She is affiliated with various
campus activities and is com
petent in her duties as President
of the Parnassus Honor Society,
Vi^e Pres'dent of. Student Gov
ernment Affairs and President of
the Student Union Board. One of
the main voices on campus, she
feels "There could be more done
here. Students are too wrapped
up in their own lives to stop and
realize what life is all about."
Bonnie's favorite sports are
tennis, basketball and football.
She likes sincerity in people and
is drawn to these "who are
unique and original n their own
right. I want to find the under
lying personalties; not those
made by society."
Bonnie finds it most discredit
ing to be looked upon as a figure-
THE HIGHACRES COLLEGIAN
head. She also dislikes people's
attitudes to groups different than
theirs. "People should look back
at these individuals, vim their'
opinions and try , to understand
them before they criticize."
Her mood changes to light
when she speaks of her parents.
"They are more juvenile than
I am and also very modern in
their sense of understanding."
Being a very serious and, sincere
individual herself, Bonnie takes
heed to the warning "Maturity
is great in your youth but just
don't grow up too fast."
A few of her favorite things
are: teasing Dr. Aurand about
social affairs of the times, dry
humor, being an Italian Republi
can, McQuin's poetry set to mu
sic, El Greco's art and long
walks through state game lands.
Bonnie's outlook for the future
is to work with students. She
plants to master in College Per
sonnel.
