London is the first such group to
have originated. A similar society
was developed in Washington, D.D.
in the early days of our country.
Known as the Miniautre Painters,
Sculptors, and Engravers of Wash-
ington, D.C., they were inspired by
the London group. The New Jersey
Miniature Art Society began in 1970,
inspired by the Washington, D.C.
society, but wanted a more open
membership policy. The Florida
Miniature Art Society originated in
1974, inspired by the New Jersey
group. In 1978 the Montana Minia-
ture Art Society evolved. The Whis-
key Painters of America and the
Cider Painters of America complete
the list.

shock. I couldn’ move. Vanessa
Williams, Miss America 1984, and
Jennifer Eshelman, Miss Pennsyl-
vania 1983, were standing by me
and I heard Vanessa say, ‘Come on
Jennifer, pull her. She’s got to take
her walk!’ I haven’t seen the tapes
of that night, but I bet they're
hysterical.”
Gina wasn’t the only one feeling
the pressure. Mrs. Major told of her
reactions that moment.
“The pressure had been mounting
for days. When the time came, I
just held my breath, and when I
heard them say her name I just
sobbed. In fact, I was crying so
hard that I even missed seeing her
get crowned.”
Don’t let all this fool you, how-
ever. Being Miss Pennsylvania can
have its drawbacks, too.

This is some of the background
that has gone into the 245 miniature
paintings being exhibited by 52 art-
ists at College Misericordia. This
exhibit is the first major show for
the Cider Painters. They have had
two smaller exhibits at the Imagery
art studio and one at the Back
Mountain Memorial Library.
All" of the paintings displayed
have an image size of 3"’x5’’ or less,
not including mat or frame. The
works are’ all done in a painting
medium, such as watercolor; oil or
acrylic.
The prices of the paintings range
from $3.00 to $45.00. The benefit of
this, explains Sue Hand, is that
“you can own original paintings by
well-known artists for quite afforda-
ble prices.” «

According to Mrs. Major, a home-
coming is being planned for July 6.
The open house will be held at Gus
Genetti’s from 6 to 9 p.m.
“Gina will only have three hours
to spend in the area,” said Mrs.
Major. “During that time, she’ll be
mingling with the crowd and signing
autographs.”
Gina would like the people of the
Back Mountain area to know that
she’ll always think of this as her
home.
“By rights, the pageant commit-
tee considers the area where the
girl won her local title as her
home,” she said.
“Since I ran for Miss Pennsyl-

and always will.”

In September 1983, Wyoming Sem-
inary College Preparatory School,
Kingston, established as a require-
ment for graduation that all stu-
dents take at least one’ trimester
course in computer science. The
first course offered in computer
studies, ‘‘Introduction to Comput-
ers’, has been well received and,
beginning in September 1984, two
additional courses ‘‘Advanced
BASIC” and ‘‘Advanced Placement
Computer Science’ will be offered.
“The additional courses and grow-
ing interest in computers has cre-
ated an increased need of suitable,
up-to-date, facilities, as well as
hardware and software,” according
to 0. Charles Lull, dean of'the west
side prep school. “Wyoming Semi-
nary has responded to this need
through the development of a new
computer center.”
The center, which is located on
the first floor of Sprague Hall,
Sprague Avenue, Kingston, contains
12 APPLE computers and disc
drives, 3 printers, and a software
library. The number of computers
corresponds with the maximum ree-
ommended class size. The center
will be utilized as a classroom as
well as a computer research area
where students and faculty will do
programming and other ongoing
projects. ’
“The new computer center will
give us the flexibility to adapt our
programs to enable more students
puter through computer program-
ming or as an instructional aid for
Mathematics, Science, English, For-
eign Languages or history,” says
Lull.
“Wyoming Seminary is pleased to
announce that it will provide
summer courses in Scholastic Apti-
tude Test (S.A.T.) Mathematics
and Introduction to Computers - The
Basic Language during the
summer,” added Lull. The session
will ‘run Monday through Friday
beginning July 9 through 27.
_ These enrichment courses are
open to all high school students.
Wyoming Seminary students who
successfully complete the summer
introductory computer course will
be granted a .33 of a credit and
fulfillment of its graduation require-
ment.
The S.A.T. Mathematics Review
will be held from 9 a.m. until 12
noon while the Introduction to Com-
puter course will meet from 1 p.m.
until 4 p.m. 'Dr. Andrew Costello, a
member of Wyoming Seminary’s
Mathematics Department, will
teach both courses.
At this time, the Introduction to
Computer course has a full enroll-
ment but there are openings for the
S.A.T. Mathematics Review course.
The enrollment fee for this session
is $75. For additional information or
