GLUBBING IT
Do, re, mi, fa, si—well, maybe
they did go off key there, but not
for long. Where's the music com
ing from? Why, from the ten
coeds comprising the Girls’ Glee
Club. With Mr. Thorpe as Faculty
Supervisor, the girls have been
meeting from 4 to 5 o’clock. The
club has purchased several new
selections for this year and has
used some of them at an assembly
program.
Those strains of sweet music and
swing which fill the halls each
Tuesday and Thursday afternoons
at four do not come from record
ings but from our newly formed
orchestra. Yes, we see big things in
store for this group of boys, for
just as soon as they build up a siz
able repertoire, we will be having
more dances with our own orches
tra to furnish the music. Who
knows but what there might
emerge another Fred Waring from
good old Penn State? Since the
school has furnished the necessary
money for ten orchestrations, all
the boys need is practice. Richard
Yensel, “43”, is their director;
Charles Shupeck, “43’, is the man
ager, and Mr. Thorpe is the faculty
advisor.
So much interest has been shown
among the students for radio work
that a Radio Forum Club has been
organized. The fifteen members
have the opportunity to direct, pro
duce, and Write their own radio
programs and put them on station
WAZL in Hazleton. The radio
broadcasts will be started before
long. Mr. Morgan is the faculty ad
visor and he is assisted by the fol
lowing officers: Florence Campan
ell, 43, President; Nancy Yost, 44,
Secretary.
Perhaps the club which causes
the most critical thinking among
the students is our International
Relations Club. Each Wednesday
morning from 9 to 10 o’clock there
are held informal intellectual dis
cussions. The eight members de
bate both national and internation
al issues. The club has received the
following books from the Carnegie
Endowment for International
Peace: “The Way Out of War’’ by
Cesar Saerchinger and “What Ger
many Forgot” by James T. Shot
well. The members of the Inter
national Relations Club have been
invited to debate the Bucknell Jun
ior College at Lewisburg. James
Sheetz, “43, is the student chairman
and Dr. Pendell is the advisor.
Did you ever pause to think whe
ther a bridge would hold you up
before attempting to set foot upon
it? Know anything about the rela

INTRODUCING
MR. HERPEL
Did you know that our Adminis
trative Head, Mr. Coleman Herpel,
was caught in a draft? His order
number is 235. Mr. Herpel, an ama
teur cheer-leader par excellence,
has been here at H. U. C. since
September 1936. since that time he
has been an instructor of math, of
physics, and of German. And as
time advanced so did our versatile
Mr. Herpel, until he is now our
Administrative Head, having been
appointed in 1939.
But let’s get away from the Cen
ter for a while and see how he has
spent some of his summers. In 1937
he took a trip abroad to try to get
a better understanding of world
affairs. During the summer of ’3B
he did graduate work at Harvard.
In 1939, the same year he became
Administrative Head, he took upon
himself the responsibility of a wife.
Getting back to the Center, Mr.
Herpel’s present ambition is to
have H. U. C. situated in adequate
quarters. His pet peeve is the con
dition of the game room.
Clubbing It
Continued
change ideas on some of the pro
blems which will confront them in
later years. The club meets Tues
days at noon with Mr. Isenberg,
who is the faculty sponsor.
One heart, two clubs, three no
trump! Bewildered? If so, there is
no need to be, for bridge clubs for
both the boys and the girls have
been organized. Both groops meet
on Tuesdays, the girls in their
lounge and the boys in room 4. Miss
Saby and Mr. Brentin do the kibit
zing for the faculty.

THE WOMEN
The Women’s Club has plannee
several social functions for the en
suing winter season. With the suc
cessful completion of several af
fairs since the commencement of
the college term, the women are
looking forward to enjoying many
more in the near future.
Among the socials held to date
are the all-school Tea, when the en
tire student body and the faculty
enjoyed the old English custom in
grand style; a Christmas Party
sponsored by Miss Saby, Miss
Reichenbacher, and Miss Itter, at
the latter’s home; a taffy pull at
the Y. W. C. A., which caused the
blisters on so many of the co-ed’s
hands. For an assembly program,
the girls presented “ A Day at the
Office”, a comedy depicting the
modern woman as a businessman.
Charactizations in the play were
taken by the following girls: Flor
ence Campanell, Naomi Bastus
check, Martha Iffert, Marion Lewis.
The women’s Glee Club also ren
dered some Christmas selections
and old favorites for their contribu
tion to the same assembly.
A few tentative plans have been
made for future gatherings, espec
ially for the Valentine Party in
February, and the Mothers’ Tea
Which usually culminates the pro
gram of the year.
The Bridge Club is being tutored
every Tuesday at 12:30 in the Girl’s
Lounge. We hear that the men are
also being instructed and herewith
challenge them to a contest in the
near future.
A cooperative organization is
now in effect, the purpose of which
is to keep the lounge in good order.
With this goal in mind, two persons
have been appointed for each
month and a decided improvement
has already been .noticed. With a
fund of money intended for these
improvements, the co-ed’s plan to
purchase a rug and some new cush
ions. The pink cut-glass dishes re
ceived from the Fayette Center are
being placed on the shelves, and
soon the organization plans to have
the lounge in fine order.
