GIVE, THE BULLETIN
BOARD A CHANCE
The bulletin board in this school is
one of the most effective ways
through which messages between
faculty members and students, and
from one student to another can be
conveyed.
Rides home on weekends, books to
be returned to the library, notices of
different extracurricular -meetings,
and just personal notes between two
students, allfind their way to the
bulletin boards of both buildings.
But here, also, are found added re
marks scratched all over the place
by some playful student. Many of the
remarks are humorous. But the fact
remains that the student needing help
or the faculty member who is trying
to get _something across to his class
members soon stops using the board.
IT GETS COLD
IN WINTER
During the hot days of fall and
spring, there is a certain amount of
relief derived by a student who might
go to the student room between
clasSes or during the noon hour to
study. At these times, the place has
a refreshing coolness.
But now, when the cold weather has
arrived, this cool room gets colder
and at the same time the student is
looking fora place to keep warm.
The students who live out of town
would benefit most from a plan by
which some warmth could be provided
in the cellar or by which a warmed
room might be utilized for lunch
hours.
This is something to occupy the
minds of the student council or the
activities board.
Naturally, the students would have
to co-operate to keep any new room
clean, since classes would probably
be in session in the room at 1 o'clock.
Or if more heat were piped into the
'cellar, students would have to keep
the cellar doors closed. The project
demands co-operation from 41 sides
but if this were forthcoming, this
situation might be cleared up.
Those glances over cocktails,
That seemed to be so sweet,
Are not so very gorgeous
Over shredded wreat.
Each time I pass a church
I always pay a visit;
So when at last I'm carried in,
The Lord won't say, "Who is it?"

MAKING A MERRY CHRISTMAS FOR
SOME LESS FORTUNATE YOUNGSTER
This last week of school before the
Christmas vacation has found the
students busy nudcing -plans to get
the most out of the gay Yuletide
season. For many this vacation will
mean a return to homes which they
might not have seen since school
opened in September. Vacation calls
for an emphasis on getting .the most
possible enjoyment out of being with
old friends at a friendly time of the
year.
Unfortunately this outlook will
not be present in the minds of many
less fortunate. This year will mean
a - Christmas heaped high with sad
ness and disillusicmment. These peo
ple won't be able to seek out good
times, for in many cases they won't
be able to leave the dreary confines
of some hospital where they are the
victims of. dreaded Tuberculosis.
Maybe Next Year
The only holiday happiness that
Christmas can bring them is the pos
sibility that maybe next Christmas
will be a better and happier one.
This is the season when the annual
sale of Christmas Seals takes place.
The vast rehabilitation program fi
nanced by the people who buy the
colorful little seals each year is be
yond imagination. It is through the
purchases of these stamps that the
gallant fight against the disease is
carried on, a fight that is supported
entirely through the monies realized
by the sales of stamps at this time.

This year's picture is of a boy sit
ting before a Yuletide fire. Perhaps
he is awaiting, the arrival of some
important person in his ltfe. To this
boy, and to millions of other young
sters who have been stricken with
TB, the arrival is an important occa
sion. It will reaffirm their faith in
the good things of life and the
people who make •these things pos
sible.
Why not make the long-awaited
arrival a possibility for some yOung
ster? Buy and use Christmas Seals.
The feeling can be so good!
THE COLLEGIAN'S
FIRST PAGE PICTURE
It takes a lot of congeniality to
sprawl yourself over the front steps
of a junior college just for the fun of
it and to satisfy the whims of some
screwball student editors who want a
Merry Christmas -picture at all costs.
But that's what one of the gays
from this college did last week end
and the finished product is found on
the front page of today's Collegian.
The photograph reposes on the first
page because Dick Bagby, the paper's
sports editor from Kingston, reposed
for a cold five minutes, draped in
front of everybody on - Church street.
What's in the bags, no one knows.
But it is known what's in the prettily
wrapped gift packages nothing!
DELEGATES DISCUSSED
WORLD CONDITIONS
The results of the Middle Atlantic
Conference, which was held recently
by college international relations
groups at the main campus, were
shown in a group of resolutions
adopted on world-wide problems con
cerning economics, politics and soci
ology.
Attending from the Hazleton Cen
ter were Paul Pucillo, chairman;
Harry Klemic, Norman Richen
backer, Dean Underwood, Edward
Scicchitano, and Adviser Ralph
Krecker.
These students, members of the
college International Relations Club,
took an active part in resolution
adoptions.

THOUGHTS IN THE
BREEZE
June Reinmiller
Neither Jack Benny nor Fred Al
len can boast that they have only to
face their audience to get a laugh,
but "Squirrley" Nowak can! At the
pep rally prior to the Pottsville
game, Nowak, Varsity Manager,
proved he can get a laugh anytime
or any place without even trying.
Physical exams are moving right
along. So far no reports of doctors
biting students and few students bi
ting doctors have been heard. That
patch test, incidentally, was not only
for "flat tires." •
By the way of suggestion, isn't
any organization going ••to sponsor
an ice-sicating party or sleigh-ride
during the holidays?
The_ art classes once again have
aided in the production of a center
activity, the Christmas pageant by
the Dramatic and Glee clubs.
Decorations in the library were
soon followed by those in the -main
office and faculty offices to add much
to the holiday spirit. It's not as easy
to forget Christmas shopping at this
point as it is to do assignments.
The boner of the year was pulled
off by Leroy Gaverick when several
of the Jesters took in an arena play
at Pottsville. After the play, the
group circulated' with the professor
of dramatics there and distinguished
guests. Knowing Miss Campbell had
not eaten any supper, Burt Minkin
suggested the group stop for some
coffee and hamburgers on the way
home. Miss Campbell returned that
she thought she would eat there.
Soon after that it was announced
coffee and donuts were being served.
From across the room in his clear
voice Leroy Gaverick shouted,
"You'll never get full on coffee and
donuts, Miss Campbell."
Speaking of humiliation, Miss
Garbrick, instructor in music appre
ciation, has a word to add. Some
thing happened last week for the
first time in her teaching career.
After drilling her class on Handel
and Bach and the harpischord, she
was prepared this particular morning
to play several recordings of their
works. Placing the record from the
Bach album on the recorder, she and
the entire class alerted themselves—
when WHAM! Out came one of the
bangiest, clangiest square dance
alemandes they ever did hear. An
amusing caller for the dance in
creased their amazement. Bach was
never like this. Of course this is
strictly off the record.
For good impersonations of Al
Jolson, E. G. Robinson, Peter Lorre,
Rose Murphy or Catherine Hepburn,
see Francis Hill.
It was deeply appreciated when a
large number of center students at
tended Club X the past two weeks.
Those who attended know there is a
lot of truth in the adage,, "The more
the merrier."
Girls! ! ! A cultured woman is
one who, by a mere shrug of her
shoulders, can adjust her shoulder
straps.
