Mr. Richards, the Junior High
School art teacher, won a prize in
the water color division at the
Regional Art Show held recently’in
Wilkes-Barre. Congratulations, Mr.
Richards.
The eighth grade mathematics in-
structor, Mr. Morgan, has contri-
buted seven of the factors that he
inks ‘seem to tend toward failure
in the mathematics course. They
are: poor eyesight, poor hearing;
lack of proper rest; lack of constant
and repeated study, the minimum
being fifteen minutes per day; fail-
ure to pay attention in class; failure
to locate weak points and eliminate
them; and lack of ability to read
comprehensively.
The student body would like to
extend a welcome to the four stu-
dent teachers who are observing
classes in the Junior High School. All
of them are in their senior year at

Futurc Teachers presented the
assembly program at Lake Building |
Friday. A choral reading of a free
verse poem, ‘Education is my Name”
set the keynote of the program.
Stephen Arendt, moderator of a
panel discussion, directed its mem-
bers. . Eileen Crispell, Jacquelyn
Ruff, Jane DelKanic and Edward
Ladamus. . . in a candid, well-in-
formed discussion of our educational
oppertunities and’ the responsibili-
ties of both students and teachers
in achieving the maximum benefits
cur system offers. A humorcus
sketch, “Early Morning on the
School Bus Route” concluded the
presentation. ’
OLD FACES
The semester break brought many
old faces back to school. Many of
these students hadn’t seen their old
classmates since June. This brought
on conversations about their friends,
marks in college and the college
life that each leads. Most of them
seemed very pleased and were glad
to visit back home.
YEARBOOKS

IMPORTANT DAYS
February brings to us two im-

ABRAHAM LINCOLN—When we

| think about his accomplishments
| more than what was behind him.
His birthday is on the 12th. He was
| born in 1809. Where did he get his
| schooling? In a little school that
| pared with schools today. He liked
| to read and he did a lot of it. This
| is one thing students should do
| more of today. Mr. Lincoln is a

VALENTINES DAY—What is|
Valentine's Day? It is a day when
we send cards, flowers or candy to
people who we especially like. But
what is the meaning behind it? I
think it is friendship as well as un-
selfishness and loving good will.
When Saint Valentine went around
leaving food on steps of the poor,
it brought this idea. As we cele-
'brate this February 14 let each of
us think of others and spread good
cheer.

AT THE
COLLEGE
JEAN DRAPIEWSKI
“All's well that ends well”—so
the saying goes. Misericordians
ended the first semester very well
with their annual spiritual retreat
on January 30 to February 1.
The Reverend Justinian Gilligan,
a Passionist’ Father, conducted the
three day retreat. His inspiring con-
ferences gave each student much to
think about. Prayerful contempla-
tion was the prevailing mood on
campus. Subdued conversation was
the only sound heard in the usually
laugh-filled air at Misericordia. In
the strife-ridden world, we find
these events of peace really splendid
—then we are at peace with our-
selves and with God.
Now we are again in the midst of
the world of study and extra-curri-
cular activity. Retreat has passed,
but we want to carry its inspiration
into our lives each day . . . What
inspiration? '. . [. To live each
moment to its fullest meaning. This
living “brings forth well-rounded
college students, but it means a
wealth of activity and thought!
Second semester began promptly
on February 2. New schedules were
examined, and some students were
a little disappointed to find class
conflicts. Again, however, all's well
for these minor tragedies were
ironed out. Class times were
changed, or students were advised
to take one of the classes next
semester.
The varsity basketball team, off
to a good start, with wins over
Wilkes College and ‘Cheyney State
College added triumph number three
on February 2 with a victory over
Eastern Baptist of Philadelphia."
Senior... education !students- hope
that all good things in their practice-
teaching will soon end well. They
i returned from their first day of
student teaching on February 2 with
smiling faces. Comments . . . “It
wasn’t nearly so horrible as I'd
pictured” . . . “I really enjoyed it.”
The Sophomore Class will provide
the first major social event of the
second semester. with the annual
Sophomore Cotillion to be held at
the American Legion Hall in Wilkes-
Barre on February 11. This dance
always precedes the Lenten season.
As we begin this second term in
the heart of winter, we turn eyes to
its end—June, when we may again
say, “All's well that ends well.”

REPORT CARDS
Last Friday was the day. Report
Card day, when all of us received
the good, or the poor report of our
efforts of the past term. Our marks |
of the mid-term exams and mid-
term averages. Just another mile-
stone behind us in qur school years.
Not all of us were lucky. Some were |
even ashamed. We hope this next |
term brings better results for every- |
one who really tries.
HOORAY
Excellent playing and sportsman-
ship has paid off for our basketball
team. Qur Westmoreland Mountain- |
eers have won the first half honors
in the North League with a 7-0 |
record. We're all a very proud and
happy group of students. And credit
goes also to our coaches who work |
hard to keep the boys in shape. So
now let’s try for the North League |
Crown by taking the second half, |
too.
The final game of the first haif
was clinched by a 66-57 victory over
Fairview. Tom Gauntlett scored 21
points.
