THE GIRL
Continued from Page 4
She took the money—there was
no mock pretense about her—and
she looked at me. Some tears form
ed a haze over her eyes and she
didn’t speak. Then she stretched
up on her toes and kissed me on the
lips. I followed her out and watched
her until the darkness swallowed
up her small form.
I waited for her the next day,
waited a lifetime each hour, but she
didn’t come. I saw her face before
me, the little chin, the delicate nose,
and deep blue eyes.
A month passed and the idea of
remaining in the store became un
endurable. I don’t want to sound
sentimental, but it held memories.
I drifted about, working some
days. . . . loafing others. I thought
of the girl incessantly.
In 1935 I suddenly discovered
that I was tired of wandering. I
bought a store of my own.
I started working with a vigor
that comes of ownership and was
content as I saw the business grow
steadily. But I didn’t forget the del
icate features of the girl who had
walked into my life more than two
years ago.
Then she returned. The store
was empty when a girl entered and
I watched her as she approached
the counter. The same face looked
up at mine, but there was no glim
mer of recognition in those blue
eyes.T I felt hurt that she didn’t
know me. That night I had imag
ined we had been so close.
“Could you give me a bottle of
iodine, please,” she spoke in a
weak, soft tone.
What she had said jarred me
back to reality and I gave her the
iodine. She paid for it and then
slowly turned towards the door.
With a shrug, she changed her
mind and entered the ’phone booth
instead. I saw her uncork the bottle
and lift it to her lips. I didn’t hurry
as I walked over, and I could see
that she was waiting for me to
reach her. I took the bottle from
her hand.
“Come with me.” I said.
It was not pleasant, finding out
that the girl I had been thinking
of for so long was a fraud. But her
beauty was still there and there
was nothing she could do that
would ever spoil it. I listened to the
story she told and it was the I had
heard before. I didn't let her know
who I was, and when she finished
I gave her some money and watch
ed her go, taking a part of me with
her. Now that I think of it, that
was the first time I had paid for
dreams. But I don’t regret it. I
would do it again.
HAZLETON COLLEGIAN

(a pre-Design program), 33
In order to handle this work it
has been necessary to add fiye new
part-time instructors to the Cen
ter’s staff. Three members of the
regular H. U. C. faculty are also
teaching in the E. D. T. program;
namely, Melvin W. Isenberg, Dr.
Lester Kieft, and Howard Thorpe.
The new members added to the
staff to comprise the E. D. T. fac
ulty are: A. L. Boltz, of the Phys
ical Testing Department of the
Pennsylvania Power and Light
Company; John Evans, graduate
engineer from Lehigh University
now at Citizens Bank, Freeland;
George H. Holland, Jeddo-Highland
Coal Company; Anthony Lio, B. S.
in chemical engineering from the
Pennsylvania State College and a
former Hazleton Center student;
and William B. McNelis, of the
Mechanical Engineering Depart
ment, Jeddo-Highland Coal Com
pany.
Although only the preliminaries
of the program have yet been car
ried out, it is anticipated that real
work will begin this coming week.
Books and supplies will be avail
able as soon as it is possible to
have such material shipped here.
Changes will have to be made to
accommodate the drafting groups,
but these, too, will be completed at
the earliest moment. Since the pro
gram practically triples the regu
lar student load at the, Center
many adjustments will be required
which will affect both the regular
student body , and the E. D. T.
group.
This column will be a regular
feature of the “Hazleton Colegian”
as long as the E. D. T. program is
continued, and faculty and students
of the night school are urged to
read it and contribute to it.

INQUIRING ABOUT

men of today need all of the mil
itary training that they can get.
Charles Cowell, Freshman: Mil
itary training for the Hazleton Un
dergraduate Center is an excellent
plan. It would be especially useful
to the boys who are going to be
drafted. They would have a foun
dation on which to lean when they
enter the army.
Eleanor Heisner, Freshman: I like
the idea of having an R. 0. T. C.
unit at the Center. It would liven
up the place.
