po Aso Af i DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA College Bound by Bruce Hopkins From Year To Year Christmas is over! (Isn't it just amazing what you can discover by reading this column!) I hope yours was a very enjoyable one. Mine cer- tainly was. I received some very nice gifts and there was only one which didn’t fit, and that almost does! But now that Christmas is over, we begin to look forward to the epd of one year and the begin- ning (## another. Isn't, it funny the way things can change during a year’s time? For example, at the beginning of last January I was writing a weekly column called Dallas Senior High Scheel News, and now, at the end of the year, I am writing a weekly column called College Bound. If you had told me at the beginning of | 1965, that before the year ended I would be writing a column called College Bound, do’ you know what I would have said? I would have said, “How do you know so much? What are you, an almanac or something ” Looking back over the year, I recalled a great many exciting things which have happened to me. I took some of the most interesting one and compiled a list called A List Of Exciting Things From The Year 1965. Here is part of that list: I became 17 years old I graduated from high school I painted a house, a barn, and an “outhouse. Tf painted the house and barn ‘pink, and the outhouse I painted pink with white stripes (really, 1 did)! | Iagiscovered that there was a| towh in Pennsylvania called Rob- ‘esonia x 1 saw Mary Poppins, and liked Juli ndrews. I went to New York City twice, du ing which time I did such things as tour NBC studio, the Lincoln ‘Center for the Performing Arts, the Empire State Building, and I stood | in the middle of Washington Square. I got my first Barbra Streisand album. ‘T opshed my first savings account. I closed my first savings account. TI ate smoked octapus. 1 rode a subway. - I began my first year in college. I had a sword fight with Jan Feimster. I ate over 200 scrambled eggs. "I got chapped lips 27 times. That is just a small portion of ‘the entire list. In addition to do- fuainted with many very exciting ople. Here ane a few of them: a alph Hoover, who is exciting ise he has the same surname as a famous vacuum cleaner, and also because ‘he is my roomate. Barbara Stricker, who is exciting because she comes from a family of nine children and 44 cows. Also because she lives in Robesonia. - Becky Pickle, who is exciting for obvious reasons. - Timothy Lavelle, who really isn’t ell that exciting. * Frank Mastroianni, who is excit- ing because he has the same last ing those exciting things, I became IEXEHIHEI HNIC a warthog. No, she wasn't being nasty when she told me that; her mother admitted it! There are many other people who I could name, but unfortunately I haven't time. But, obviously, it has been an ex- citing year for me, and I hope it has been for you too. Now we face a new year and more exciting events. I'm going to start my diary this year. I'm going to call it My Diary, and it is going to be full of all the things T do and the people I meet. Imagine, maybe years and years and years from now, some- body will find my diary and they will make a movie called The Diary cf Bruce Hopkins, and everyone who hears about it will say, “Who in heaven’s name is Bruce Hopkins?” But that’s too far in the future. For now, all we can say is, “Happy New Year.” There, I said it and I'm glad! SEE YA!

Varation Time By the time you read this, Christ- mas will be long past and the last bites of turkey will be disposed of in those horrible turkey sandwiches (and hash, and croquettes, and mil- lions of other ways), but at this writing, just hours away from a deadline, Christmas is still in the future and visions of sugarplums are dancing in my head.

Christmas Dance On Saturday, December annual 17, our Student Council Christmas SECTION A — PAGE 3 Bad Bear Season District Game Protector Philip S. Sloan, Wyoming County, reports: bear season was disappointing to most hunters. Rain and poor vis- ibility on the first day and heavy rain on Saturday morning cut down unting pressure, resulting in a small kill. Deer hunters report seeing more bear this year than in a number of previous years. Squirrels seem al- most abundant as before the sea- son. Dance was held in the gymnasium. The theme “Under the Christmas Tree” prevailed in the decorations and spirit. Music was by Bobby Baird's Orchestra. Congratulations to the student council for a job well done.
