COLLEGE MISERICORDIA
x
Library Science Program for Teachers
College Misericordia’s new li-
brary science program for holders
of elementary education certificates
was initiated in the summersession
which ran from June 23 to August
4. Accomplishment of this summer
program was recently reported by
Misericordia’s librarian, Sister
Mary Ferdinand, R.S.M., (shown
at right of picture) to the Dean,
Sister Marianna, R.S.M. At that
time the College Misericordia ad-
ministrators also announced that
students registering at the college
in the fall will have opportunity to
take courses in Reference Services
and Materials. Extension classes
in library science will also be offer-
ed if enough teacher are interested.
In her progress report, Sister
Ferdinand outlined work of the
class in Book Selection for Child-
ren, taught by Mrs. Joan Diana,
supervisor of grade schooi libraries
of the Pittston School District; and
also work of the class in Catalog-
ing and Classification, taught by
Miss Loretta Farris, librarian at
the Swoyerville High School.
In order to make the profession
of librarian more meaningful to
the summer session students, Sister
Ferdinand said that a number of
field trips were taken to point out
the aims of good librarianship.
Elementary schools, old and new,
were visited, and the work in pro-
gress examined. A trip to New
York with a tour of the American
Library Association Convention
exhibits, the Children’s Council
Library, and the Public Library

ing books and buying ata generous
discount were pointed out. The
Children’s Room of the Public Li-

ian there explained the story hour
program and other services for
children.
Mr. Joseph Everly of Demco

Misericordia to demonstrate how
and when to mend a book. To
cdimax the busy summer, library

Library in Harrisburg and had
an interview with Mr. John Rowell,
Director of the School Library Pro-
gram of the State who answered all
student questions concerning the
courses and federal aid to school
libraries.

The Norman Luboff Choir
To Appear Here in Theatre 3
Norman Luboff, who will bring
his famous choir to Wilkes-Barre
on February 28, 1967 as Theatre
3’s second presentation of the sea-
son, has been called a Man of
Mystery. The renowned American
choral director and arranger whom
College Misericordia has booked
for its 1966-67 Theatre 3 Series
has long been known throughout
North America for his artistry. It
was not until the Fall of 1963,
however, that he was able to take
sufficient time from his recording
activities and his work as an ar-
ranger and composer for films and
television to embark on his first
“in person’ tour.
The touring Norman Luboff
Choir consists of 30 virtuoso pro-
fessi onal singers (accompanied by
fc ar gifted and amazingly versatile
instrumentalists) whose repertoire
is virtually unlimited, and who are
equally at home in the cantatas of
Bach or the hit tunes of Broadway,
all of which they perform with
inimitable vitality and superb
musicianship.
The popularity of this dynamic
conductor-arranger, and his group
was achieved primarily through the
many splendid recordings, onboth
the RCA Victor and Columbia La-
bels, for which the group was or-
igipally created. The repertoires of
this famous choir literally runs the
gamut from Bach to the Blues.
Ranging from such choral spectac-
ulars as “76 Trombones”, arrang-
ed in the inimitable Luboff style,
to an album of classical master-
pieces, all of the Choir’s 30-odd
discs have the distinction of being
best-sellers. The obvious reason is,
of course, Mr. Luboff himself — his
enormous and mutually comple
mentary gifts as a choral director
of precision, elegance and verve,
and as an arranger of originality
and solid musicianship.

Use of Telephone
In Our Education
The telephone’s relationship to
education has been primarily in-
direct in nature. Since the days of
the hand-cranked, 20-party line,
telephones have helped to settle
questions about home- work, no-
tified parents of PTA meetings, and
increased the efficiency of school
administration.
Everyone is familiar with cartoon
pictures of the teen-ager lying on
the floor, feet on the furniture,
watching TV, telephone tucked
under her ear, “doing homework.”
For the youngster who, because
of prolonged illness or injury, must
spend school days in bed, the Tele-
phone Company has available a
system of two-way communication
between home and classroom. Al-
though none are in use locally,
installations in other areas make
it possible forhome-bound children
to take part in class discussions.
For most families the telephone
continues to be a necessary, but
indirect, part of school life.
And surely it must have been a
college student, broke and home-
sick, who first uttered those magic
words, ‘Reverse the charges.”
Education makes a people easy to
lead, but difficult to drive; easy to
govern, but impossible to enslave.
