His friends in the Back Mountain
will be happy to hear thats Brad
Bullock is doing very well, accord-
ing to a statement made this past
weekend by Brad's father, Robert
Bullock.
Brad is the young man from the
Back Mountain area who underwent
a heart transplant in April, 1983, in
a New York hospital. Residents
throughout the Back Mountain area
rallied to his support and to his
family’s support with cards, pray-
ers ang contributions during the
many months he was on the road to
recovery.
In light of the recent media cover-
age on the pros and cons of human
and animal heart transplants, The
Dallas Post decided to check in on
Brad for a progress report. And,
Bh! ough there is seldom any men-
Jon of Brad in the news, people
continue to show their interest and,
from time to time, ask about Brad’s
welfare.
According to the elder Bullock.
Brad is now driving his own car,
works part time at restaurants and,
in the near future, plans to attend
school.
“We often receive inquiries about
Brad and we are very appreciative
of the concern Back Mountain resi-
dents have shown for his well-
being,’ said the older Bullock.

Is it or isn’t it?
Is that really Ronald Reagan influencing this child's vote? No, it isn't Ronald Reagan, it's Dave
Jones, a teacher at the Dallas Intermediate School, playing the role of Reagan. Jones, shown
here with Jeff Dover, a student at the intermediate school, participated in a mock election held
yesterday at the school, whereby the students used a school computer to cast their votes.

Miss Sylvia Bator, chairperson,
and her committee comprised of the
department heads at Lake-Lehman
High School began preparation for
the school’s Middle States Evalua-
tion in the spring of 1983. Ms. Bator,
senior high school guidance counse-
lor, and her committee began the
revision of courses of study and,
after successive meetings with all
senior high school faculty, self-study
evaluations began in September,
1983.
Having been through two previous
evaluations as a faculty member,
one when teaching at Phillipsburg
and the second while at Lake-
Lehman in 1974, and having served
as a member of a Middle States
Committee on three occasions, one
at a Pottsville Parochial High
School, one at an Allentown High
School, and in 1983 at Saucon Valley
High School, Miss Bator was
appointed committee chairperson
because of her experience and the
believe that she would be a key
factor in effecting a smooth process
in the evaluation.
The administrators’ theory proved
to be correct when, in the spring of
1984, complete reports were
presented to members of the faculty
for their review. The faculty mem-
bers did a thorough self-evaluation
and all of their reports were ready
for presentation to the Middle States
At At Job Fair. Fair
Committee when they arrived in the
district on October 23 of this year.
The committee of 19 members
was headed by Donald Conroy, prin-
cipal of Faulkner High School,
Faulkner, N.Y.; and assistant chair-
person Lewis Roderick, principal of
State College Area High School. The
other members included faculty
personnel from high schools
throughout the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.
The three days of observation by
the Middle States Committee was
officially opened with an organiza-
tional dinner held at the Sheraton-
Crossgates in Wilkes-Barre on the
evening of October 23. High school
faculty members, school board rep-
resentatives, support services staff,
administrators and presidents of
various school co-curricular organi-
zations such as Band Parents and
Boosters Club attended.
Dr. David Preston, superintend-
ent, Lake-Lehman School District,
welcomed the committee to the
district and extended the school’s
cooperation. Chairperson Conroy
described briefly the role of the
committee and promised that fac-
ulty members would see more of
three days ahead of them.
Each day for the next three days,
the committee members observed
classes relative to those in their own
field, returning to their hotel rooms
in the evening to meet with the
entire committee and review the

In order to instruct students on
how to complete an effective job
search, College Misericordia held a
Job Fair and workshop last week.
Alan B. Geer, manager, Human
Resource Planning, Air Products
and Chemicals, Allentown; Paul
Perhach, Director of Careers and
Placement, University of Scranton;
and Arthur Jenks, partner, Price
Waterhouse and Company, New
York City, conducted the workshop.
Arnold Garinger, College Misericor-
dia’s director of careers and place-
ment, sponsored the fair and work-
shop.

Twenty-seven recruiters were
available to talk with the students
and, since 75 percent of the senior
class at College Misericordia hopes
to enter the medical field, the
majority of the recruiters were
from hospitals and visiting nurses
associations.
The workshop dealt with writing
resumes and cover letters and han-
dling a job interview.
Perhach encouraged students to
look at themselves before they
attempt to write a cover letter or
resume. Determine what you have
to offer an employer, what your
interests, skills and values are.
Look at the world of work and
employees in the company in which
you are seeking employment.
Personal contact with individuals
is extremely important. Only two
percent of applicants are hired
through newspaper ads while the
remaining percentages are hired
through some type of personal con-
tact in the hidden job market.
Geer gave information on how to
write a ‘‘short, to the point, cover
letter.” Introductions can be varied
and the referenced introduction
should list someone you know fairly
well who is employed by the com-
pany from which you are seeking
employment. Research the com-
pany well and mention some facts
about that particular business. In an
accomplishment introduction, list
any officerships or leadership posi-
tions you have held. Although the
novelty introduction is most risky, if
you are applying to an ad agency or
public relations firm, it may be
effective.
In the body of the resume, list
your potential and your qualifica-
tions. In closing request, a meeting,
either actively (I will call you next
week to set up an interview) or
passively, (Please give me a call to
set up an interview.)
In a cover letter or resume, it is
not necessary to mention salary.
These are written only to attract an
interview. Salary will be discussed
