On her colleagues: The
new English instructor finds
the Highacres faculty to be
generally communicative, dedi
cated to students, and not
preoccupied with personal
ambitions.
"Teachers here haven't
over-specialized in their
fields," she asserted. She
was also pleased that there
seemed to be so much faculty
student cooperation in campus
and community activities.
Hrs. Dill, who has lived
in Hawaii, I daho, and on the
West Coast, now resided in the
scenic Sugarloaf farm country.
She is the mother of a daughi,
ter, 16, who attends high
school in the Hazleton area,
and a son and a daughter who
live in California and Idaho
respectively.

get in groups to talk
with a professor, and when
students could sign up for ac
tivities, I believe, were the
high points of Orientation...
The only part I liked about
Orientation is when we went
to our separate colleges and
get to meet our advisors... O
rientation was 0.K., but they
should have a different vari
ety of things to do instead
of listening to all these
speeches. It was good in the
respect that we didn't have
to go to classes right away
without knowing what to do or
where to go... Orientation
wasn't too bad, but I wish
they could have skipped a lot
of stuff--like that library
talk... Orientation was a-waste
of time. Most of the talks
were boring and, although the
idea was for us to get to
know people, everyoue stayed
in his own group...the survi
val session was not appropri
ate...Pre-Registration was
good. It told us what to ex
pect... The first talks were
boring...l didn't like being
told I 'had' to pay four dol
lars without being notified in
advance. about it...Registram.
tion went fast..."
Perhaps these opinions
can be of some aid to future
Orientation Planning Commit
tees. Who should know better
what was good and bad about
Orientation than those who ex
perienced it?
Highacres has in general
made an excellent impression
on the incoming students.
Some of the feelings of the
new students are as follows:
"Highacres is a quiet and
friendly place...Highacres
is a peaceful place with beau
tiful surroundings. The;peo-•
pie, as a whole, are very
friendly, and the administra
tion seems concerned about stu
dent affairs...Highacres is
very nice...Highacres is a
beautiful place with 'beauti
ful' people...Highacres is real
ly nice but it should be
level!!!!"
Hear, hear!

a challenge and an exciting
new experience. She cites
the friendliness and helpful
ness of her colleagues. "The
faculty and administration
have been so friendly and help
ful that I have thoroughly en
joyed my first weeks at the
campus. I have also enjoyed
renewing acquaintences with
many former students from Haz
leton High School and am look
ing forward to learning more
about the varied backgrounds
of other students."
Mrs. Moyer has, in the
few weeks that she has-been
here, noticed a,contrast be
tween college and high school
students. She feels that
there is'a difference in the
attitudes of the students to
ward school and their work,
noting that she feels the
college students want to learn
and are in college by choice,
which in turn causes them to
be "more conscientious and
eager to learn." She feels
that it is "mare vital to a
college freshman to learn all
he can" than to a large num
ber of high school students.
Mrs. Moyer's activities
outside of teaching include
such varied interests as read
ing, crocheting, and canning.
Her favorite poet is illiam
Carlos Williams and her favor
ite author is (wouldn't you
know it?) Shakespeare. She
also likes modern works and
has recently finished reading
The Word by Irving Wallace.
Incidentally, Mrs. Moyer hated
The Exorcist.
Welcome to Highacres,
Mrs. Moyer, and we heartily
hope that it lives up to your
expectations. We're sure it
will. And we are equally sure
thattfts. Moyer will live up
to our expectations and become
a great asset to our campus.
Let me today do something
that will take a little
sadness from this world.
