“You can’t say kids are bad. The older
generation went through some of the same
things,” Helen Dawes said, who is an
employee in the Dining Hall at the
Hazleton campus. Her reason for working
here is because “I just love kids.”
She has been employed by Food Services
since the opening of the campus in 1971 and
enjoys her work immensely. “I was an
only child, and perhaps by working with
the kids here I find what I missed by not
having a brother or sister,” Helen said.
Helen was born and raised in West
Hazleton and still maintains her home in
that area. “My community is friendly and
helpful in times of need. I like it here,”
Dawes said. She enjoys the changes of
seasons, and since she was raised here, is
very familiar with the harshness of the
Hazleton winters. In reference to the
amount of snow we have had so far this
season she said, “It’s only just the
beginning.”
Helen is a widow and is the mother of
three daughters, two of which are married
and the other who resides with her. She
also has two grandchildren.
In her spare time, Helen likes to knit or
to take bus trips, often accompanied by
her grandchildren. Recently, she traveled
to New York City to see the Radio City
Music Hall Christmas Pageant. There she
viewed two plays: Peter’s Dragon, an
animated children’s show; and Annie, the
story of little orphan Annie which Helen
rated as excellent and would advise
anyone to go to see it.
Concerning her acquaintances at work,
Helen likes her boss, Mr. Krone, whom she

says is “a nice man who has always been
square with me.”
Helen and her co-workers enjoy an
amusing relationship with teasing each
other as their favorite pasttime. The other
workers especially enjoy teasing Helen
about having a boyfriend. Helen said, “I’m
56 years old and single, and I’m happy the
way I am.”

Christmas is a season that affects us all
in one way or another: some good and
some bad. This season has a similar effect
in the dorm at Highacres.
There is a general excitement that finds
a place in everyone which tends to make
students more good-natured than usual as
they prepare for the Holidays. Christmas
trees are placed in individual rooms in
order to bring a little amount of hominess
and warmth to everyone. Windows are
transformed into miniature “winter
wonderlands’’ with stars, snowflakes, and
even santas. >
More people than ever go to the mall and

shopping underway. They return, slightly

Among the other technical producers

Carl Frankel supervised the finale of the

Mrs. Patrice Lyons, of the Highacres
Sociology Department faculty, was in
charge of the festive reception. She was
aided by a committee of lovely girls who
prepared and served refreshments.
Behind every successful stage

broke, but laden with packages and rich
with the spirit of giving. Adding to the
anticipation of the season, are the
preparations for Christmas parties which
coincide with the thoughts of home,
family, and friends. “Planning is half the
fun”, one student said,
The only downfall of all this preparation
is the difficulty in studying. With all the
excitement and knowledge of the up
coming vacation, it is difficult to give full
attention to books and classes. The joy of
the season, however, overcomes all of this
and students can find comfort in knowing
that upon the return from Christmas
vacation, students can actually begin a
new year.
was Sheryl Felker, the coordinator of
ushers and her team of aides in helping to
make the audience comfortable. Mike
Yuresko designed an attractive printed
program for the show. Of course, there
were still others.
Finally, one recalls a perceptive ob
servation made by the commentator Rene
Bray:
v “Theatre is spectacle first; the spec
tator participates in the action with his
eyes and ears, and his mind can only
follow. To act is to make a face and body
move, to make sounds heard, inside a
space bounded by painted Canvas. The
actor is matter, and it is from this matter
that the spirit emerges.”
This large theatrical company must
have been aware of Bray’s observation to
have given such a delightful evening of
theatre. Bravo, to one and all!
