MAIN YANKEE By Sheldon Vilensky Many of our states have given to the American scene items and arti cles which are recognized as being distinctly their own. For example, California has given the navel or ange and the palm tree. Texas has presented the sagebush. Maine has given us the potato, .. and Burt Minkin. Born in• Boston, Minkin completed his high school education in Port land, Maine, last spring. After grad uation he decided to further his stud ies in chemistry and physics. His search led him to Penn State. As to how he landed in Hazleton, Burt is not able to explain. Already this young man has suc ceeded in establishing quite an im pressive name for himself in school activities. Presently he is an active member of the Dramatics Club and of the male quartette. His sense of humor and constant cheerfulness has been responsible for making him one of the school's most popular freshmen. Yes, this Maine Yankee has proved himself one of the boys who has chipped in to make school life as' enjoyable for others as for him self. • With his down east metropolitan accent, , Burt Minkin has brought 'a will to be one of the fun-loving parts of a college career.
