Page Four-Highacres Collegian, May 7, 1974
Well, my old cry is going
out again. "Not enough atten
dance." A group called pAPNY
played at Highacres, at what
was probably the last dance of
the year. The dance, sponsored
by the Hazleton Recreation So
ciety and the Student Union
Board, was one of the best, if
not the best of the year. CAPNY
has to be one of the best bands
around. Their music is extreme
ly entertaining, besides being
nearly perfect music-wise. The
guys in this band are in the
true sense musicians: Marty
Druckman, the featured music
ian, had guitar talent that
is unreal. After talking to
Marty, I found out he was in
the hospital for the flu the
night before. Most guitar
ists can't even sound that
good when they're well. I'd
like to apologize to the rest
of the guys in the band for
not knowing their last names.
Benjie presented us with an
outstanding performance on
both the piano and the guitar.
He is outstanding on both.
Don's bass lines are driving
and original. He improvises
lines of his own in addition
to lines which are already in
the song. Dave's drumming
spoke for itself. His astound
ing drum solo was filled with
feeling and a vast amount of
techinical knowledge. The
band's vocals were in a class
by themselves. They did every
thing (don't ask me how) with
out a monitor system. The as
tonishing part of this is that
they had only been together for
two months. If you didn't come
to this concert all I can say
is "You really missed it."

FARETHEEWELL
by Deborah Berger
It is difficult to write
about music. No, it is im
possible to write about--or
speak about--yes, or even
sing about--the absolute joy

that is the musical exper
ience. It must be felt.
There is one aspect of
my musical life, however,
about which I can write with
ease and with love. That is
the Hazleton Campus Chorus.
During the course of my
two years of sharing HCC, I
have sung with the full
choir, the Chorale Singers,
the Joypipers, the Krazee B's,
and the Lollipops (?!). I
have not been at a loss for
notes.
As a part of my education,
HOC, with its members and di
rector, has contributed much
to my life and well-being. I
have brushed up on my Latin
and Hebrew and gathered the
petals left over from the
flowering of Renaissance Span
ish. From Joe Lendvay I have
learned how to open windows
without using a handle. From
Mark Denke I learned that you
can indeed sing the Penn State
fight song at 8:15 A.M. of
you try hard enough. From Pam
Welsh and Beth Benjamin I
have learned a "sneaky" way
to visit a church organist.
From Tom Shea , Barry Jais,
Jim Valente, Nicky Kotchision
and several other characters I
have learned how to stay sane
while keeping it a secret
from the outside world.
And Mr. Joseph Jumpeter.
Mr. J. taught me breath control,
posture, the anatomy of the vo
cal apparatus, no less than two
versions of Te Deum, the theol
ogy of the angelic hierarchy,
how to argue with a family of
flying squirrels, what a hoecake
is, the biography of Balde-

sarre Galuppi, and what in the
name of hemidemisemiquavar it
is that decorates that wall in
his office. Mr. J., with his
effervescent and quite contag
ious sense of humor, has, in
my eyes (ahem!) earned much jub
ilant applause for his work
with what amounts to the larg
est active organization on cam
pus, in addition to his duties
as an instructor in music.
Through him and HCC, the
surrounding communities have
seen a sample of some of the
abilities, activities, and
enthusiasms of Highacres.
Still, HCC is a young organ
ization with much more applause,
good times, and hard work in
its future. As for me, the
Hazleton Campus Chorus has
touched my life and left a
spot of love.
If you've never heard us
perform--or even if you have--
drop by the South Building
sometime when you notice the
walls being tickled by musi
cal vibrations and taste the
fun. Or better yet, come to
a concert. The final HCC con
cert of this year will take
place May 18, at 8:00 P.M., in
C-1. The Spring performance
will feature The Peaceable IlEg7
dom and "Alleluia" by Randall
Thompson; The Sounds of Simon
and Garfunkle; the spiritual
"I'm Goint To Sing;" "Cherish"
by Terry Kirkman; "I Believe
In Music" by Mac Davis; "What
the World Needs Now is Love" '
by Bacharach and David; and
more. The Chorale Singers
will offer renditions of the
Southern mountain song "He's
Gone Away," "Ye Gods, You Gave
to Me a Wife" by Sol Berke
witz, and "New Brooms" by Jean
Berger. A Cockney air will pre
vail as the Joypipers sing
"Wouldn't It Be Luverly?" but
