Excursions To The Big City
Dining, Dancing and ‘Olivia’
For weeks I had patiently waited
for July 19 to come. It fell on a
Friday, the day I was tojourney to
New York City. Here my brother
was to meet me with promises of
dining, dancing, and glamore no
end, and as usual, hecamethrough
with it all.
Everything started on Friday
morning and, as my mother pre-
dicted, I beat the crowing rooster.
Three o’clock came, the time the
New York bus was to leave. There
I sat quaking like a nervous old
lady waiting for the bus to start.
The trip itself was fabulous prob-
ably becausetraveling is something
I thoroughly enjoy. I arrived at
Port Authority at 7 P. M., thinking
I’d meet my brother at the door.
Panic isn’t the word to describe my
feelings when I found no brother.
I finally discovered we had entered
QUALITY EDUCATION?
IT’S YOURS FOR THE
TAKING
by Tom Peirce
and Linda Woolbert
As students of Dallas Senior
High School we are always
pleased and gratified whenever
our graduates achieve special
honors or outstanding recog-
nition. We refer, particularly at
this time, to three of our former
students who have been named
on the Deans List at Penn-
sylvania State University.
They are Durelle T. Scott, III,
54 Huntsville Road; Robert E.
Moyer, 20 Split Rail Lane,
and Richard W. Powell, 40
Perrin Avenue, Shavertown.
These three young men are
among many Dallas graduates
who have won honors in excep-
tional scholarship in many
colleges and universities.
We would simply like to point
out with quiet pride that Dallas
Schools offer a quality educa-
tion to all students. The estab-
lished fact that many of its
graduates have attained récog-
nition in schools of higher
learning proves the point. Fur-
ther, many of our graduates in
Business Education and Voca-
tional Education have proved
themselves definite assets in
their chosen life vocations.

traveled on up the corridor where,
at last, I found him.
After registering atthe Taft Hotel,
our glorious weekend began. First,
with dinner in the “Village”, then
an experience with Expresso tast-
ing somewhat like tobacco juice.
Next, we walked through the Vil-
lage looking for the authentic beat-
niks.
Saturday night came and we went
to the famous “Mamma Leone’s.”
The dinner was enormous, but de-
lectable.. Then we attended the
theater showing “A Funny Thing
Happened On The Way To The
Forum.” My only comment was
“absolutely humorous to the ex-
treme.”
On Sunday we ventured through
Central Park. It’s a paradise in a
jungle ofbuildings. The night found
us again at Port Authority. We
were faithfully waiting for my
mother’s bus to arrive.
On Monday, we saw the Broad-
way Show ‘“Olivia,” and Tuesday
found us on our way home. Home
was something to look forward to.
Although I was completely ex-
hausted I found something without
description in the Big City, around
it and through it. Just what Icould
not say. Maybe it’s the bright,
gaudy light that nearly hypnotized
me — these lights that touch every-
thing with glamour and excitement.
Then, too, there is the noise, the
people the Everything of the “Big
City.”

students desiring to continue in Spanish studies may enroll also in Spanish III and IV as

is hoped, will better acquaint stu-
dents with the many problems of
successful home-making as well as
to prepare them for easier adjust-
ment to community living.
There will be an elective course
in Advanced Mathematics on the
college level, and a course in Ad-

Remember that most driving acci-

clear days, rather than during rain
or fog. The National Safety
Council notes that 85 per cent of \§
all accidents in a recent year oc-
curred in clear or cloudy weather,
with only 15 per cent in rain, fog,
snow, etc. NSC says that 80 per
