DR. DILL
by Bill Michael
When Dr. Laura Dill came
to Highacres from Idaho this
year, she was deeply impressed
by the rich beauty of the
Pocono atmosphere and the
charming Conyngham countryside
in which the Hazleton Campus
is situated. But what was
even more amazing to her was
the interested, sincere atti
tude displayed by most Penn
Staters.
"The students here have a
genuine desire to learn," she
told me, smiling with the con
tentment of an educator who
has found an ideal teaching
environment. Dr. Dill was a
registered nurse when she
decided to enter the teaching
profession. She has recently
completed work for her Doctor
of Arts Degree in a program
specifically oriented to fresh
man and sophomore English.
Dr. Dill, whose office
is located on the second floor
of the Memorial Building, is
; thus far quite satisfied with
the Highacres English depart
ment. She finds the course
structure favorable to her
methods of teaching, but feels
that enough student interest
could be generated to include
a few more literature,
especially dramatic litera
ture, courses.

DR. FRANKEL
by Donald Serfass
"Hazleton is a weird
place!" This is what Dr. Carl
Frankel, new Biological Sci
ence and Biology instructor,
had to say about his first im
pression of the area. He add
ed, "The first thrill I exper
ienced in Hazleton was when I
got honked at on Broad St.!'
Dr. Frankel, originally
from Montreal, Canada, com
pared downtown Hazleton to the
nostalgic, greaser-type movie
"American Graffiti" because
"all the kids do nothing but
ride around and beep their
horns at one another." But
Dr. Frankel was also greatly
impressed by the friendliness
of this area's people. More
over, he noticed a closeness,
or bond, which the local peo
ple seem to have. Even more
important, Dr. Frankel pointed
out that the faculty at High
acres are a friendlier group
than the faculty of Michigan
State University, where he did
his graduate work.
Among his dislikes are
cucumbers and nasty people,
but his likes include David
Bowie, the Montreal Canadians
Hockey Team (especially Peter
Mahovlich), poetry, fungus,
astronomy, and anything that
turns him on.
Dr. Frankel is a dedic
ated Biology teacher who finds
little time to think about
trivial things. He is a happy
go-lucky bachelor and a man
of high ideals. He is sensia.
tive to both the arts and sci
ences--a Renaissance-type man
who leads his life the way he
prefers instead of leading
it the way other people expect
him to.

Mrs. Moyer was well known
at Hazleton High School for
tier oprn mind as well as for
her open heart, as one who is
always willing to listen to a
student's opinion about just
about anything. She is a warm
and helpful woman who has a
great regard for her students
and colleagues--in fact, for
the whole world in general.
She is always willing to lend
a helping hand, but it al
so a perfectionist in the
area of grammar. (So, fresh
men, you had better consult
Heath's Handbook before turn-
ing in your paper.
Mrs. Moyer regards her
new position at Highacres as
MRS. MOYER
by Donna Marie Bayer
. English I students have
by now undoubtedly noticed the
presence of a new instructor
in their classrooms. This
lovely and friendly lady is,
Mrs. Norma Moyer, who has just
begun her first terms as an in
structor at Highacres.
Mrs. Moyer comes to us
after eight years of teaching
at Hazleton High School, where
she was head bf the English
Department for three years,
advisor of the Literary Soc
iety, and advisor of the Janus,
the high school yearbook, for
three years. While at Hazle
ton High, Mrs. Moyer taught
such interesting courses as
speed reading, creative writing,
and futuristic literature (that
is science fiction for all
of you Star Trek fans out
there).
