Sherrock —Julliard [Continued on page 4] Leaves School Just a few weeks back, Pershing Jones lost his roommate, Student Council lost a member, and Penn State lost a popular student when Bill Savitz was forced to leave school for reasons beyond his control. Even though he has not finished his second semester here, he will still be re membered for his consistent and ef ficient guarding as a member of the Center cage team and his spectacular long shots. All the students are looking for ward toward seeing Bill at the third annual banquet at the Hotel Altmont, Two Outstanding Sophomores The Hazleton Collegian has no costly silver trophy to present, but it gives two of our outstanding sophomores due recogni tion by featuring them in this issue. John Barnes and Ruth Bachman, as leaders of the student government, have executed their duties admirably. John, as president, ran the bi-monthly council meetings and THIRD ANNUAL DINNER-DANCE TAKES PLACE AT ALTAMONT Center Students To End Second Semester of Study on Friday With Annual All-Day Picnic at Lakewood Park and Annual Banquet Tuesday, June 7. Approximately sixty Center stu dents will culminate their first year in the Broad street school building iby dining and dancing on Tuesday, June 7, at the Third Annual Center Dinner- Dance in the Hotel Altamont ball room. Besides the Center students Center alumni will augment the num ber present to about 150. The day after the final exam, Fri day, June 3, the students will travel to Lakewood Park where they will enjoy their annual picnic. Franklin Penn, vice-president of the sophomore class, has been selected as toastmaster. Speakers at the ban quet will include John Barnes, Mr. Pugh, Mr. Eiche, and R. Michael Cap parell, president of the Center Alumni Association. After the banquet the Alumni As sociation will hold its annual meeting. Labor Class Argues On Economic Problems Arguments have been flying thick and fast in Mr. Janssen’s Labor Pro blems class where three debates have been conducted in the past few weeks. The first forensic battle was staged between John Timko and Frank Gor mley on the closed shop issue. Timko was aided on the affirmative by John Dushanko and Gormley’s partner was Franklin Penn. -The second debate on the unemploy ment insurance question was fought between Kenneth Smiley and Nicholas Saras. The final argument was on the child labor amendment. Gordon Novotnie upheld the affirmative and Frank Gormley preached against the amend ment. The debaters had worked, or were supposed to have worked, the entire semester in gathering material for their arguments. The debates were hlr. rTfOTiTijiiiii li i i>r i I ter Penn State is head chairman of the committees. As secretary-treasurer, Ruth has taken care ot the school’s finances and kept minutes of all the council meetings. Be sides this she has managed to secure a straight three average in her spare time. The Collegian congratulates the two outstanding sophomore Centerites! Present Center sophomores are re quested to attend this meeting. For this annual climactic affair President John Barnes acted as gen eral chairman. The following Council members were chairmen of the re spective committees: Betty Jane Newell, decorations; Earl Seybert, attendance; Ruth Bachman, food for picnic; Pershing Jones, ban quet food; 'Larry Tarleton, picnic transportaion; Walter E. Organist, program. Center students are admitted free of charge to these two affairs; alumni and friends will be charged $1.25. The picnic, however, is for Center students alone. The banquet will begin at 6:30 and will last until 9 when the dance will start —but nobody knows when it will end. First Center Alumni Finish College Careers Time certainly does fly! It was only four years ago that the Hazleton Center opened up its office and class rooms in the Markle Bank building; and now the first class is going to graduate—quite conspicuously too, for who knows better than the reader the above-average calibre of the Ha zleton Center product. Here is a list of the “grand-dads and grand-moms” (no insult to your age, girls) and their records: Those graduating from Penn State include: Rebecca Baskin, who, with a B. A. in Arts and letters, plans to teach her major, political science; Robert Boone, who graduates with a B. S. in me (Continued on page three.) non-decision contests; but in all cases the class, after a detailed discussion, decided iii the affirmative. Dinner-Dance FREELAND M. M. I. HEAD SPEAKS TO ED. CLASS Last week Mr. Eiche’s education class had as a lecturer Lambert Broad, head of the Freeland Mining and Mechanical Institute. Mr. Broad lec tured on an all-year school calendar at Aliquippa and the progressive movement in education. Having been a teacher at Aliquippa for seven years, he had a wealth of material showing the advantages of making use of the school building the year round instead of allowing it to re main deserted during the summer months. . Former Centerites Organize Campus Club Approximately 120 campus students who formerly attended one of the four Penn State Centers have banded to gether and formed the Center Campus Club. The purpose of this organiza tion is to offer means of orientation for transfer students from the four Centers. It also will promote many social functions for the Center alumni. This new club will aid the regular Hazleton Center Alumni Association, which was organized last year and is composed of alumni in all the colleges, in maintaining a close relationship between the former Center students and the present one. The Hazleton Collegian offers the Campus Club its best wishes for success. New Solon A solon has been officially initiated into the hallowed hall (our assembly room) of our student government. The new Council member is the Hon orable Larry Tarleton, dully elected by the freshmen class to fill the recent vacancy created in Student Council by the regrettable departure of Legisla tor Bill Savitz. The new freshman representative is quite a “red” in liberal tendencies. However, he won’t get much of a chance; the year is about over and Larry has already secured a room for next year’s residence on the campus. May, 1938,
