Mr. Kieft and Mr. Janssen took to the Center as ducks do to water.

Visit Bell Telephone Co. Through the courtesy of the Bell Telephone Company, Mr. Herpel, physics instructor, and his physics group were conducted on a tour throughout the telephone building. The entire group was shown the administrative, communicative, and power units of the entire telephone system. The tour was helpful in clar ifying the theoretical work of the students. DRAMATICS CLUB GIVES FIRST PLAY The first play, “There's Always Tomorrow,” presented by the Drama tic Club proved to be a tremendous success. The playlet directed by Miss Yotter had for its cast Miss Mary Ann McClintock, Joan, one half of the unsuccessful team of actors; Mr. Ker mit Laßose was Bob Evans, the hus band of Joan; the perfect landlady was portrayed by Miss Marie Somers; while the ever promising wealthy friend of the Evans’ was Miss Anna Greshko.

Alumni Association Seeks New Members Since its organization last June, the Hazleton Center Alumni Asso ciation has enjoyed a steady increase in membership. To the present time, a goodly portion of Center students are members of the association. How ever, there are some who have not as yet joined, and it is the intention of the board to give them an opportun ity to do so during the week preced ing Christmas. There will be a meet ing of the association Tuesday, De cember 21, at 8:00 p. m. All present and potential members are urged to attend; activities for the coming sea son will be discussed and the board of directors will give a report of its work so far. The Alumni Association promises to be one of the most active social and educational organizations in the community. It will offer an oppor tunity for students to renew old ac quaintances, provide social entertain ment, and work for the advancement of the Center. The success of the organization depends upon the support given it by the alumni of the Center; therefore, everyone who was enrolled as a stu dent in the Hazleton Undergraduate Center is asked to attend the meeting and participate in this movement.

The reason for this influx of out-of-town students is the unusually crowded condition at the Campus this year.

Philadelphia sends Harry Hein to our fair Campus, and Pershing Jones and William Savitz, two of the mainstays of the Center’s basketball team, are from Easton.

J.; Claire Foley of Wilkes-Barre; Marion Quick of Meshoppen; Joseph Mattick of Larksville; and Arthur Fogel of Aquashicola. Improvements Made In School Building Since the beginning of the semester the building occupied by the Penn State Center at Hazleton has been vastly improved. This is the result of the untiring efforts of the faculty with the aid of the student body. Within the last three months both a chemistry and a physics laboratory have been installed and completely equipped; lockers have been erected in the halls for the convenience of the students; and a room, that was not needed for classes, has been con verted into a game room, where both students and faculty members may play ping-pong, chess, and many other games between classes. The library has been installed in new quarters oh the "second floor and is well stocked with books, many of which have been generously loaned by the instructors.
