The girls have been literally walking around with their feet
in their pockets. Somebody stepped on their - toes.
At the Activities Board meeting of April 5, a mention was
made to eliminate the coronation of a May Queen and the ceremo
nies at the dance on May 6. It was seconded by another member,
and following a period of discussion, was passed by a 5-4 vote.
There might not be any coronation if it had been allowed to stop
at this.
Somehow the word leaked out, as words will, and a gnashing
of teeth Was heard throughout the corridors:
"They can't do that !" the women shouted. "Why not ?" they
were questioned.
The truth of the matter is that the board does not have the
authority. The matter has been ignored. What it did do, how
e%Yer, was reveal the lackadaisical attitude of all students toward
extra-curricular activities.
The member who made the motion was supported by others
in his accusations that the majority of , the students, including
the women, were not interested in the affair enough to spend
so much money. They testified that
,approximately one-fourth
of the entire student body participated in the voting and that
very few girls attended the joint meeting with the board to make
plans. This meant they weren't interested.
These are pretty weak arguments to be used in depriving the
women of their one and only social function. How many students
votel for councilmen in the, last election? How many women at
tended their own meetings? The girls are in the minority, but
so are other smaller bodies which receive much more money than
they.
Nevertheless, the women who defended their action are de
termined to show all the doubting Thomases that students do
want this coronation.
How will they know ? By checking the support they receive
with decorations, practices, and attendance; Supporting them is
NOT signing petitions circulated by a group of students who
totally lack school spirit and fair play! Now is the time for all
good men to come to the aid of THEIR PARTY!

The 'baton didn't fall to him with
out any effort. He was primed and
proved by the Music Ed department,
and last week, during an exhibition
before inspecting faculty members
from other college departments, di
rectedan hour-long composition.
Even "the most calloused musician
will appreciate the job that is, even
if he is not being watched and crit

rated rather high.
Andrew Bozena of McAdoo, a pre

'Tain't right. No one appreciates
Mr. Steele's expensive Egyptian cig
ettes. Could it be because of their
distasteful odor?
Nice going Squirrely, fur the care
ful arrangement of cars going to
Wilkes-Barre. No, April Fool trick
was played .on the sociology and
speech classes when they went there
on a field trip. Surprisingly so, they
didn't have stormy weather. Hazleton
Centerites had entertainment at the
dinner preceding the lecture. Eddie
Erotas was at one end of the table
and Squirrely at the other. See what
we mean ?
Easter time gives Louisa . May a
chance to display her rabbit pins.
Definitely nice gesture of speech
classes to invite students who had
free periods to see the movie on par
liamentary procedure.
Heard by way of the grape-vine
we were told Miss Emma Phillips
plays an excellent game of ping-pong
and is looking for a challenger. You
better be a good, player.
Nancy Dißonifazio's remedy for
colds is to drink many liquids; how
ever, Mr. Steele has been wondering
what kind of liquids she "means.
Don't forget it is softball every
Tuesday at five o'clock for the girls
on the 22nd Street field. And former
cheerleaders are now the players.
The May Queen Dance is bound to
have sensational decorations with
Jimmy Geffert as chairman of this
committee.
Paranac's car sure makes a nice
station wagon from Walnut Street to
Broad.
"Mac" McHugh was down to the
campus last weekend.
'By the way have you fellas picked
out your queen for the May Queen
Dance ?
Why does Wysocki come into his
eight o'dlock speech class late every
Monday morning?
Miss Thomas' small education class
made some observations up at Hazle
ton High School. From all reports
some hated to leave that wonderful
environment.
Congrats to the May Queen of '49,
but who is she ? ??
It is better to walk along the road
to success than to sit and wait for a
ride.
