The final month of the school year is zipping past, and things
are really popping ... Studies are getting more intensive as in
structors make up work and try to funnel the remaining chapters
of textbooks into student minds or notebooks ... Social activities
will increase tremendously, both school and individual—May is
a hard month to stay in and study ... People are making plans
for the summer ... Students are sending a ream of forms and $25
for admittance to the campus ... Student Council and the convo
cation committee are about half mad with planning.
The administration and remaining faculty members are really
campaigning for students for next fall ... A lot of students are
trying to transfer to new schools or curriculums ... The softball
league generates a lot of jokes and arguments ... The daffodils
along the road are in bloom ... Spring fever is in the epidemic
stage ... And I'm glad that the Collegian is out.
At times in the last few weeks, student interest in non-graded
school activities has flared up brightly. A portion of our students
showed sparks of group fire on Clean Up Day—in terms of hard,
cooperative work. The rivalry generated by the intra-mural soft
ball league has fanned the licking tongues of this blaze. A recent
all-college weiner roast and dance proved that HUC's people like
to play as well as work together the bonfire of cooperation
roared.
There are only glowing embers remaining at present but this
bed of coals needs only more kindling to resume its bright burn
ing. The wood is already neatly stacked—just two weeks from
now. This wood is, of course, the planned picnic and entertain
ment, the May Day coronation, and the semi-formal dance. John
Lauhach is assembling talent of all kind for a variety program
if you would like to get in on the fun in any way, see him soon.
Sissy McGee could use assistance with the chores connected with
a picnic on Thursday night, May 25. If you will help decorate
Genetti's for the dance, see her. And finally everyone should he
on hand for the beautiful May Crowning.
The more logs of help we have on our own student fire, the
brighter and more effective it will be.

I wonder what would happen if a
fire should break out in Old Main?
There aren't many facilities for fight
ing such an outbreak here. There
haven't been any fire drills for per
sonnel either. Which door would you
run for?

There seemed to be more real fun
and enjoyment at the weiner roast
than any other activity this year. The
Student Council is planning a similar
picnic the night before the May Day
program. With a break from the
weather it should be the biggest and
best party yet. How about bringing
some girls?

Mice continue to panic women,
even our women. The other week a
meeting of the girls' organization in
the snack bar was thrown into pande
monium when a tiny rodent strolled
across the floor. Kathy Midash finally
summoned up her courage and dis
posed of the monster. Good work,
Kay!
The girls-faculty basketball game
was reported to be a dilly-looper. Syd
took copious notes of the trick plays
used; probably mapping out a win
ning season next year. Miss. Bonn led
the cheers. The girls claim that they
were robbed. Poor losers, I guess.

Prospective students are going to
be given counselling on career and
vocational selection on "Career Day."
Many of our own students would like
a little information and advice on
that same subject.

Jimmy Mulligan on their team the

Hills
I think that T shall never see
A school as high as HUC.
The mountain road winds up a mile
Up from the Conyngham defile.
A school which may at evening glow,
With blue lights, eerie, shining low;
And in the daytiine it's a climb,
To get to hilltop class on time.
I've climbed the pole line and the path;
Been late for Econ, Psych, and Math.
My one, enduring, burning hope—
An elevator up the slope.
These things are not too good for me,
But they exist at HUC,
LANGUAGE FESTIVAL
IS BEING PLANNED
The students of all language
classes are planning to have an end
of-the-year language festival in the
latter part of this month. The
Spanish, French, and German lan
guage clubs will combine in the pro
gram of entertainment and socializ
ing.
Miss Phillips announced that the
date is not definite yet but would be
announced as soon as it is deter-
mined

Der Schnitzelbankverein enter

Club of the Pottsville Center on
April 28. After a good swim at the
YMCA, the two clubs adjourned to
Highacres for an enjoyable social
evening complete with group singing,
dancing and refreshments. Miss
Helen Dossenbach, instructor of Ger
man at Pottsville and formerly at
Hazleton, and Miss Mary Margaret
Wood, Dean of Women at Highacres,
were present as guests of the club.
The last business meeting of the
year was held on Wednesday, May 3.
Der Schnitzelbankverein planned its

May 17, participation in the Annual
