Page Two EDITORIAL Civic Day, May 14, will be a day set aside for all students to trip out to Highacres and help with a number of small jobs, such as clearing brush. Students haven't had much of an opportunity • thus far to show that they are genuinely interested in the new Center, but this day is one in which they can unite their efforts in a constructive way to display true school spirit. Lunch out doors and an opportunity to circulate with friends are two reasons why this special day will be one of fun and pleasant memories. The Harrisburg Center recently had a very successful "house cleaning day," and many other colleges make a clean-up campaign an annual event. Come on and get acquainted with your campus! LANGUAGE FESTIVAL FEATURES COMEDIES The Center's three Foreign Lan guage Departments are once again this year preparing their Language Festival presentation scheduled for 7:30 Monday evening, May 2, at the YMCA gymnasium. Co-chairladies for the 'affair are Miss Anna Erle mann, head of the German Group, and Miss Edra Staffieri, Spanish in structor. The German Club, Schnitzelbank verein, under the direction of Miss Erlemann are planning to present an amusing puppet play entitled Kasper in Bedraugnis, the German equiva lent to the Punch and Judy Show. The Spanish Club will present three short skits, Tito en la Escuela, Una Cita and En Clase. Members of language classes in all of the region's high schools have been invited to attend the show.

Marilyn Rosenberg is recovering from an operation at her home. Congrats: Doris, Mary Lou and their lovely court. We think that May Queen's Coronation is going to be the prettiest ever. Miss Margaret Campbell has a tal ented cast for a new play which will be presented in the early part of May. Watch the bulletin board for further information. Jeanette Formolo is one of the out standing girls on the softball team. She is small but she's mighty. George Sarkis was disturbed quite often the other day while trying to make a report on the Russian govern ment for one of his classes. His chief hecklers were Bodnar and Dendler. How did Guydish , get his name written up in the West Hazleton newspaper? He must have a drag. Millie Romanelli is one of Scotty Parson's favorite followers; she loves to polka. Now you figure that one out. Mr. Krecker was handing out cig ars the other day. Congratulations on the arrival of your second daughter. There was a baseball game be tween the Engineers and the Liberal Artists the other night behind the coal bank. The players kept yelling "Throw the umpire out!" (Maybe the coal dirt was getting into his eyes.) Now that Brannaka is an usher in the Key theater he is able to see all the movies for nothing. Many thanks to Joyce Schofield who has painted the attractive poster for the Center Punch which has been placed upon the board , in the library. •Watch for The Center Punch April 29, 1949
