MR. BIGGERS
For me the term has been
fairly successful. I believe that
some students in my class have
improved their skills and
knowledge in bowling and
tennis. This term also gave birth
to two new activities in the
Physical Education program at
this campus; one of which was
co-ed camping and the other was
Folk, Square and Social Dance.
I feel the camping course was
quite successful. It gave the
students and opportunity to see
some attractive parts of
Pennsylvania, learn some
camping skills and have some
fun, even though the weather
was not the best for camping.
With Intramurals, the six man
soccer league was a success. We
have 40-50- men actively
participation in the program and
this is the league's first year.
The future of intercollegiate
sports on the campus as far as
expansion is concerned is dim
until a physical education
building is built and the financial
plight of the university is
improved. The future of the
existing teams would be much
brighter if more students would
cothe out for teams, especially
those students who have had

adding new and different
activities in which the students
will participate. In the past
several years, we have met this
goal by adding skiing, camping,
archery, and Folk, Square, and
Social Dance to the required
program. Intercollegiately, we
have added soccer, tennis, and
some previous experience in the
sport. With more experience
players on the teams, the
beginning people would improve
faster and our teams would have
more successful records. More
students coming out to support
our teams at the home contests
would provide vocal and moral
support and add to the teams'
incentive to play well.
Hopefully, next year
intramural activities will be more
nuerous and have more variety
to draw students who do not
participate in the more common
activities. Here again, the fate of
the program is partly determined
by the students' involvement
and participation. Forfeits kill
intramural leagues quickly
especially at a small campus
where the number of
participating teams or
individuals is low.
In a nutshell, I believe with
strong student backing our
department has the personnel
willing to devote the time and
effort to work with the students
to develop outstanding
intercollegiate and intramural
programs even though we are
hampered by having no indoor
facilities of our own.
I would hope to be able to
better diversify our iro:ram by
wrestling to the men's program,
and on a trial basis, basketball
and volleyball to the women's.
On the intramural level, men's 6
man soccer was initiated and
archery is in the developmental
stage.
It is my desire to aid the
future development and
improvement of the total
physical activity program and
the Hazleton Campus and get
more students and faculty
actively involved.
I would just like to thank the
faculty members outside of our
department who have helped our
department run some of the
activities this year. Those
individuals are Dr. Santulli, Dr.
Covert (camping), Mr. Bell
(wrestling), Dr. Montjar (tennis),
Mr. Concannon (skiing), and Mr.
Fogelson (basketball).
Mr. Ron Biggers
MRS. JAGO
The spring term physical
education instruction classes
',have been quite successful for
both the faculty and students.
The students who had bowling
instruction at the Bowl Arena
during the first half of the term
had a choice of softball, tennis,
or dance for the second half of
the term. Camping was offered
as another activity on a limited
basis. Hopefully the enthusiasm
that the students share in both
the dance and camping classes
will spread so that involvement
in these activites will increase.
A limiting factor that the
outdoor activites have faced
constantly this term has been
the rainy weather. Construction
of the new gymnasium will
greatly alleviate this kind of
problem.
The future of the sports
program at Highacres is
dependent upon the support and
interest shown by the students.
Whether the sport is within the
intramural or interscholastic
categoy, the program can only
survive if students are willing to
participate and to help organize
the activities. The women's
program of intramurals in
expanding so that at least one
volleyball team and one
basketball team can travel to one
of the other campuses for
tournament play. The schedule
for women's basketball %ex t
year will also be expanded.
The physical faculty share the
following goals:
1. increased availablity
skiiing, tennis, dance,
bowling, camping, etc.;
2. additional new course
offerings such as cross
country skiing, fencing,
self-defense;
3. expansion of the
intramural programs;
4. expansion of the
interscholastic programs;
5. improvement of the
instruction of the existing
activities;
6. initiation of a sports
banquet or picnic in honor
of the athletes who
represent Highacres.
