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!

the prettiest ever.
Miss Margaret Campbell has a tal

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
