Peninsula visited by Accreding Committee

Last week Peninsula College was evaluated by the Visitation Committee of the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools. The purpose of the accreditation visit was to determine if Peninsula meets the requirements for full accreditation throughout the United States.
Peninsula College was accredited by the State Board of Education in 1961 and all courses have been approved by the major institutions in the State of Washington for transfer credit. When the second class was graduated in 1964 from Peninsula, the college became eligible for accreditation by the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools which guarantees that the college has met all the requirements necessary to be fully recognized throughout the United States as an institution of higher learning.
Members of the committee visited classrooms, viewed the
teachers and students to find the reactions and opinions towards the school.
Members of the accreditation committee were: Mr. Perry A. Christianson, President of North
Idaho Jr. College; Mr. Manning Nelson, Dean of Students, at
Clark College; Mr. Oliver K. Scjaer, State Supervisor of Trade and Industrial Education
in the State Department of Education; Dr. Joseph B. Spulnik, Chairman of Physical Sciences
Division at Boise Junior College; of English at Willamette University Dr. Murco Ringnalda, Professor; Dr. Eugene Kozloff, Professor of Biology at Lewis & Clark College; Dr. Francis D.
Haines, Professor of Social Sciences at Oregon College of Education; Dr. Howard L. Miller,
Professor and Business Manager at Northwest Nazarene College; Dr. James F. Beamis, Executive Director of Communication on Higher Schools at the Universsity of Washington.

Cheerleaders elected for 1965-66 Season

Rah! Rah! Sis boom bah! Yea Pirates!
Tension filled the air as cheerleader tryouts crept near. Campaign posters covered every
available space for two weeks before the big day. Those girls who tried out for 1965-66 cheerleaders were Margaret McGinite, Jo Jenkins, Dianne Martin,Lynn Minker, Danna Britton, Kathy Temple, Susas Hopf, and Eloisa Lopez.
Official try-outs were held in the library on October 26. All the candidates tried out in pairs
but did not have to be voted on as such. Each girl put her best foot forward as she made her big appearance, in hope that the student body would see fit to elect her as one of the squad.

Alas, try-outs were over and now there was little left to do but wait for the results. Friday,voters streamed in from noon until the polls were closed. Later that night, at the sophomore
scavenger hunt, the results were announced. Peninsula College’s pep squad for the 1965-66 year consists of:
Danna Britton
Kathy Temple
Susan Hopf
Eloisa Lopez.
Newly elected pep-promoters are:
Karen Woodruff
Steve Ohrmon.
All are working hard to represent Peninsula College well from the first game to the very last in the season.

Christmas formal Plans get Underway at meeting

At a meeting held November 9, AWS began plans for the Christmas Formal to be held Tuesday, December 21, from 9:00 to 1:00 at Harrington’s Skyroom. This dance is considered the biggest event of the year.
“This year,” Donna Sienko, AWS vice president and chairman of the formal dance, assures us, “the Christmas Formal will be the best ever.”
This year’s formal will be different from those of the past. In the first place, a professional band will be imported from Portland to provide music for the dance. The band, Gerald Schwary and the Shadows, has played for the University of Washington’s home coming dance, Oregon University’s homecoming, and for a number of other colleges, universities, and high schools. This is considered an excellent professional band.
Also, this year the dinner will be served at the tables instead of the buffet style which has been used in past years. “Since the dance is an elegant and formal affair, the meal, also,
should be elegant,” Donna
added.
The meal will also be different. Beef steak a’jus will be served with a baked potato, salad, and vegetables. “We felt this a more substantial and appealing dinner than the other choices given us.”
The colors were decided upon as red and gold—quite “Christmasie,” and considering Harrington’s is decorated in red, gold and black, quite appropriate.
Another hew feature for the formal affair is the inviting of all alumnae to the dance. “We feel this is one thing we can do for those students who have
established this college as it is. I’m sure it will be appreciated.” Donna said. Committee chairmen for the event have been appointed. General Chairman will be Pam Ward, with Barb Majesky and
Carol Beeler working under her. Cyndy White will be in charge of invitations, Hilde
Bock will head the patrons committee. Chairmen of other committees will be: Betty Petit,
publicity; Cecelia Rice, punch; Karen Dugdale, tickets; Sandy Fullerton, programs; and Betty Norris, pictures.
Anyone interested in working on the dance is urged to contact one of the chairmen immediately. “We want this to be a tremendous event, but we can’t do it without the help from the other AWS members,” Donna added.

Judy Reed and Kathy Duncan Win Scholarship

Two Peninsula College students, Judy Read and Kathy Duncan, have been awarded each a $700 scholarship from Washington Congress of Parents and Teachers association. Each year, the WCPT presents this scholarship to a student who is planning a teaching. career. Judy, a sophomore at Peninsula, graduated from Port Angeles High School in 1964. She intends to enroll at Pacific Lutheran College in Tacoma next fall. She will teach mathematics at college level in Colorado after graduation from PLC. Judy has chosen math as her major, and is interested in zoology as her minor.
A 1965 Port Angeles High School graduate, Kathy has chosen either math or English as her major. She hopes to work with physically handicapped children upon graduation from college. Kathy is a freshman at Peninsula this year.

Style Show Slated

On December 7, 1965, at 8:00 p.m., Phi Theta Kappa will present holiday fashions in the
Elks ballroom. The admission price for the style show, “Elegance,” is $1.50. Fashions from
local merchants will be modeled for the show, which is open
to the public.

Parking Lot gets lights

Evening students at Peninsula College can leave their flashlights at home. Lights in the parking lot of Peninsula College are now up and working.
According to college authorities work was completed on the project last week.
The lights are set up around the parking lot on the circular road which runs in front of the administration building on the campus. The lights are turned on at dark each night and are left on until the students and faculty leave the campus after class.
College authorities explained that the lights were slated to be installed before the parking lot was opened, but the equipment was delayed in shipment.

A.W.S. Dance proves big success

November 5 saw AWS’s first college dance, and in the opinion of many, the first successful dance of this year. The music was provided by the Vicounts, a local group, featuring LeRoy Lewis of Peninsula.
Kristi Morrish and Robin Tozier were co-chairmen of theevent. As a publicity stunt, Kristi and Robin flew pink weather balloons in the air with signs hanging below advertising the dance. Unfortunately, this idea was discontinued after a couple of hours because the rain grounded the balloons.
As another publicity stunt, music was played in the student center both Thursday and Friday to ‘put dancing in the mind.” This proved to be quite successful and was appreciated by the students.

Editorial

Students of Peninsula, unite! Siphon out muddy puddles!
A problem has arisen and now is the time we must do something about it. Something’s got to be done before we lose one of our students in a mud puddle.
Yes, our ruddy, muddy parking lot has proven to be quite a problem. The mud is sopping into our shoes and ruining them.
Several of our students have solved this part of the problem by resorting to their clunk shoes and hip boots for everyday school wear.
Not only is this hard on our shoes, but our poor automobiles take a regular beating each day. By the time they are driven from the lot in the afternoons, it is questionable as to whether or not they will reach their destination.
And how are the young coeds supposed to walk like young ladies when they have to jump from one “island” to another across the lot?
One particular mud puddle is so big that one needs to wade across it to get to the other side. Perhaps, with a little cooperation, we could charter the Coho to transport students to and from the parking lot each day.
A real solution to this problem, you ask? Can’t we start out by merely filling up some of the holes with gravel? I realize it may be necessary to put off paving the lot until funds can cover
the job, but something’s got to be done now. The holes must be at least temporarily filled before they get even bigger.
The winter season will bring only more rain and perhaps even snow. Can you imagine what the lot will look like if we wait until spring to do something about it? Something’s got to be done, and something’s got to be done now. —P.S.

Hallelujah Trail

By CANDY ROSS
“Hallelujah Trail,” starring Burt Lancaster and Jim Hutton, is intended as a spoof of the
traditional western and as such it is moderately successful.
Burt Lancaster’s portrayal of the army commander is one of
the best points of the show. Unfortunately the same cannot be said of young Jim Hutton, who
brings all his youthful inexperience to the screen. The film must have one of the largest
full casts ever assembled, featuring, as it does, five separate groups of protagonists.
The plot itself is ridiculous. It is concerned with the efforts
of a freight company to haul a load of whiskey to Denver. The movie also has a wonderfully confused series of subplots.
They deal with the attempt of the U. S. Army and a group of thirsty miners called the Denver Militia to safeguard the whiskey until it reaches its destination, a band of Indians to intercept it for themselves, and a ladies’ temperance league to prevent anyone from getting the whiskey.
One of the best scenes comes when, by dint of some clever writing, the Indians end up with the wagons in a circle and the cavalry is galloping around them. Another laugh comeswhen the freight company is confronted with a teamster strike in 1870! There are frequent laughs in the full-color
cinerama epic, but the periods between them seem drawn-out and occasionally pointless.

New Stop signs to be placed soon

Harry Kochanek, Port Angeles Chief of Police, has been
informed that stop signs are to be installed at exits to the college parking areas. His personnel has been instructed to enforce the stop signs on their installation. Kochanek submitted this information so students may be warned prior to enforcement of new signs in the area where stopping has not been enforced or required.

Community players present first play

The Port Angeles Community Players presented their first play of the season on November 12, 13 and 15. The play, “The Brides of March,” featured several from Peninsula College.
Students participating in the play included Cathy Burk and Sharon Meyer. Faculty members in the play were Mr. Evans and Mr. Kearns.

A seperate Peace

A novel with a style as crisp and autumnal as the season itself, with characters as earthward and perennial as leaves, is A Separate Peace by American author Jonn Knowies. 11 was published in 1961, and was a winner of the National Book Award. It has been called a book “that rings in the mind long after the reader has finished it, whose reverberations fill a shape far larger than those set down on paper.” The glow of the writing throws such an afterimage on the reader that it may well toll in his mind.
The scene of the novel is a New England prep school as the early shots of the Second World War are being called. A typical body of students is introduced, all recognizable, all with the freakish half-masks of boys becoming men; all except the main character, the glittering, angelic Phineas. He is a pervasive, persuasive Peter Pan, whose only flaw is his mortality. The story is told by his roommate and best friend, a sort of Holden Caulfield come
of age—out of the “rye” of innocence . It is the death of that
innocence that both boys are victims of. Except’that one remains as limping proof of the
other’s fall—from grace, victory, and perfection.
A Separate Peace is a love story in the most fatal sense. It leaves the reader with a sureness of solitude, and the unreasonable bleating of his heart D.S.

Dylan Thomas

We poets in our youth begin in
gladness; But thereof in the end come despondency and madness.
—Wordsworth
After a writer’s words have had their full global bloom, and their remotest combinations have been tried, nothing remains but to die — literally or spiritually, vzith a Hemingway bang, or a prolonged Eliot whimper. This was true of a “Symbol Simon” like Dylan Thomas. If he were alive today, it is interestsing to guess
what his position might be. He might- have become a household wordmaker like Auden, or
self-exiled with a graying heart like Pound. He might be writing biblical jokes for Hollywood, or trapped as poet-inresidence at some obscure women’s college in America.
He would be over 50, built like Charles Laughton, and be as absurd a representative of tragedy as Oscar Wilde. But he is dead, from too much drink; too much song, and too
much applause.
Since his death in 1953, Thomas’ life has been publicized vzith as much detail as his own poetry, and with as much glamour as an Errol Flynn. The American poet become journalist, John Malcolm Brinnin, got the ball rolling with Dylan Thomas in America: “uninhibited overtures toward women.” Thomas’ widow retaliated with Leftover Life to Kill: all the king’s horses, all the king’s men, can’t put Caitlin Thomas back together again.” Many of the stories Thomas wrote have been published posthumously. The play Dylan was a smash on Broadway.
Now, the latest and probably most definitive account is ‘The Life of Dylan Thomas,’ By Constantine FitxGibbon. Excerpts of this biography appear in the October and November issues of The Atlantic.
People who arent crazy about poetry will find Thomas’ Collected Poems an outrage. His stories however, are delightful reading. The best of these are found in his Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog. and Quite Early One Morning.
There are several of his readings available on long playing recordings, including the classic “A child’s Christmas in Wales.”

Student reports life away from home

Life away from home isnt what some people thing it is.
We eat well some days, but for the most part, we eat food bought with a low budget and cooked by some of the worlds worst homemakers. The first week we were up here, we spent an average of $15 for the three of us. One of our happy family likes baked potatoes and she cooks them very well done. . . burnt usually! In fact, she flavors nearly all of her food this way. Every three days, when it’s my turn to cook, we have spaghetti.
We have several rules which were designed to help us get our rest and studying done. (1) Company must leave by 10 p.m. (2) No drinking. (3) We ask out friends not to make noise outside of our apartment building. We have tried to stick to these rules for the most part, but we havent been entirely successful.
It may sound square,but one of the things we miss being away from home is the attention and catering of our mothers. We have no one to make a decent meal for us, and no one to enforce the rules. All these things, we now have to do for ourselves.

Foreign Student Of the Month

Any social science book will tell you that all of Latin America has a crucial need for its young people to learn technological skills for use within their home countries. Here at Peninsula we have a Peruvian student who has taken this advice to heart.
He is Alejandro Jimenez, a 22-year-old native of Chiclayo, Peru. “I came to America to
learn why America is so advanced, and also to learn about the people and natural resources. I also wanted to gain an education to use in my country.”
His American education began at Highline Junior College in Seattle, where he took courses in engineering and finished up the required English courses.
“There is a definite need for engineering in’Peru today,” Alejandro explains. “My ambition is to gain this skill and return to my country as soon as possible.”
“Peru as a country is considered underdeveloped, but this does not mean that we do
not have developed areas within the country vzhich have all the advances of a cosmopolitan city. There is a very sharp social distinction between the few very rich, the middle class, and the majority of the people who are extremely poor. The middle class is the advancing force of Peru: it is from this group that the future of the country will come.”
” As for Port Angeles. It is located in beautiful surroundings. There is much diversity of surroundings,including the Olympic National Park, the Ocean, the Rain forest, and you are not far from Seattle. Peninsula is a growing college with a good future. The students are friendly and I am sure they will continue to improve the school. ”
In the meantime, the study continues as the understanding grows.

Students Urged to Write Letters

The Buccaneer encourages students to submit letters for publication. All letters should be left in the editor’s mailbox in the administration building.
Letters should not exceed 200 words. Those surpassing this limit are subject to culling at the editor’s discretion. Brief, concise letters have the best chance of being published.
They should be typed and must be received by the editor no later than the first of each month. All letters must be signed.
Names will be deleted if the writer desires, but the editor must know the identity of the writer. Letters which lack coherence or a definite purpose will not be printed; nor will obscene or libelous letters beaccepted.

College active in presenting Play

As the Peninsula College Drama Department is preparing
for its production of “The Importance of Being Earnest”, Other campuses across the state
have been at work on their fall plays. “Dracula” was staged early
in October at Washington State University. Early this month
three plays were produced Columbia Basin College in Pas. co. These were “A Marriage Proposal”, “The Boor”, and “A Tragedian in Spite of Himself.” The most contemporary effort has been made by the drama department at Skagit Valley College. They gave three performances of two one-act plays, Edward Albee’s “The American Dream,” and “The Room”, written by Harold Pinter. On November 13 Centralia College gave the comedy opera “The Abduction from Seraglio”.
It was a presentation of the Festival Opera Group, an organization of professional singers,
students from the University of Washington, and non-professional singers and musicians from the Seattle community. At Grays Harbor College in Aberdeen, rehearsals for “The Desk Set” are now in progress.
A three act comedy by William Marchant, it relates the ever present threat of electronic computers replacing the human mind. Yakima College is presenting “Antigone’, by Jean Anouilh, November 19-24. The play, written during World War II, is a modern French version of the Greek tragedy by Sophocles.

Devastators take PC Intramural Football Title

Boxing. . .

Ernie Terrell, the six foot, six inch, guitar-strumming, rock ‘n
roll-singing World Boxing Association heavyweight champion,
has issued a warning and challenge to Muhammed Ah, (Cassius
Clay to the uninitiated) everybody else’s heavyweight champion
oi the world. Terrell is, of course, working on the assumption
that Ali can get by Floyd Patterson when the two clear a little
of the muddle in the heavyweight boxing division in Las Vegas
on November 22. That will be the only prognostication that Terrell will make correctly for the next few months. He has said
repeatedly that he could whip pretty boy Cassius, a task no man
has done as yet. In fact he has spouted off so much I think
he s actually starting to believe that he can beat Clay. Tsk Tsk.
Terrell eliminated Canadian George Chuvalo two weeks ago
by earning a unanimous decision in Toronto via stinging left

hooks to the head. Now all he has to do is sit back and wait for
Clay to polish off the ex-champion Patterson. Then the two can
meet so Terrell can find out once and for all that his predicting
is parallelled by his fighting ability. He should be one badly
humiliated, badly beaten heavyweight contender.
Speaking of predictors, Cassius Clay will go down in boxing
history as not only the most boisterous of the heavyweight kings,
but also as the most accurate in guessing the outcome of his fights.
When Cassius was 15 he predicted that someday he would
be the Olympic light-heavyweight champion. He was. He said he
would get Alex Miteff in the sixth. He got him. He predicted
Billy Daniels would fall in seven. He fell. Clay said Alejandro
Lavorante would go down in five. Five it was, and to this day
the Argentine loser is still in a coma. Archie Moore would fall
in four. He did. Charlie Powell in three, Henry Cooper in five,
Sonny Liston in eight all followed Cassius’ script. So when he
said he would “punish Patterson for seven or eight rounds and
then knock him out,” it would be wise to believe him. The frustrating thing about Clay is that he can not only beat everybody
around, but he can tell you exactly when he’s going to put an
abrupt end to the cat and mouse game.

Football. . .

The Washington Huskies and the Cougars from Washington
Slate square off in Husky Stadium Saturday afternoon in what
should be one of the fiercest struggles in the ancient rivalry
between the two schools. The Huskies’ offense the past three
weeks has been encouraging to the multitude of Husky followers.
Dave Williams throws out a record practically every time he
hauls in a shot from Tod Hullin.
The Cougars on the other hand specialize in the Stop Dept.
Wayne Foster and Willie Gaskins spearhead the defensive aspect
of WSU’s game while Larry Eilmes and Tommy Roth make the
Cougars go on offense.
Experts are split down the middle on this one. A third say
the Huskies will win, a third say the Cougars, and a third merely
toss a coin. Playing at home should give the Huskies a big
edge. Washington should hang another one on the Cougars by
the tune of something like 21-15.

Edge the Bears 14-13 in Finale

New York experienced “a great blackout” while Peninsula College’s number one intramural
lootball team came withm a point of experiencing “a great blowout,” both incidents obviously
caused by power failures at inopportune and crucial stages.
The undefeated and newly-crowned Devastators had to scramble back from an early 7-0
de.icit .or two quick touchdowns in the second quarter, then had to throw up a tenacious, ballhawking deiense to edge the surprisingly tough Bears 14-13 in the championship finale November 10 on a wet Elks Playfield.
The Devastators and Bears reached the play-off game for the title following close wins in the semi-finals: The champs downed the Lions 7-0 on a Butch Ludke to Art Bell touchdown and conversion while the
Bears were squeaking by the
Four-Stars 6-0 in a sudden-death
period on a diving catch by
Gary Haakenson on a Tommy
Lyons pass. The Four-Stars
went on to claim third place in
the final standings by dumping
the Lions 41-25 in a wild, freescoring game in which Danny
Green threw five touchdown
passes for the winners.
The Bears got on the scoreboard first in the championship
tilt when Steve Bennett hauled

in a 36 yard scoring aerial from
Lyons on a double-pass play.
Dave Denny threw to Lyons for
the point after, giving the Bears
an early 7-0 advantage.
The Devastators, as their
name suggests, proved devastating the first time they got the
ball. A steady series of short
passes and roll-out option runs
moved the ball systematically
to the Bear five where Ludke
threw to the league’s leading
scorer, Jeff Anderson, for the
score. Ludke hit Mike Sommers over the middle for the
tying point.
The Devastators struck again
with only two plays left in the
half. Ludke threw a pass to
Steve Mashburn out in the right
flat who lateralled the ball back
to Ludke. Art Bell meanwhile
was streaking up the middle
and caught Ludke’s 30-yard
pass to give the Devastators
their first lead. Ludke skirted
right end for the eventual winning point.
The Bears made it close when
Bennett intercepted a pass and
returned it all the way for a
score late in the third quarter.
The all-important try for point
v/as knocked down. Ludke,
with two late interceptions,
Bruce Shamp, Bell, Sommers
and others lead a stiff defense
that made the then 14-13 tally
the final score.
The reason for the Devastator’s newly-acquired crown is
apparent in the final season
statistics. They had three of
the league’s top four scorers,
the top passing mark, the best
team defense and the best total
team offense. It proved enough
to beat lhe Bears. But just
bearly.

column to the left.

Pirates prepare for Opener

By JIM MANDERS
With less than a month until
their first league encounter the
Peninsula Pirates opened training for the 1965-1966 basketball
season. The Pirates are working out at the high school gym
al the present time until the new
gym is up on the college campus. This is expected to be
about lhe first of January.
Although Coach Quenelle has
only one returning letterman
from last year’s squad he is
optimistic about the team’s
chances of improving on the
6-16 record and fourth place
finish in the Western Conference last year. Quenelle feels
the team will be fundamentally
stronger, better shooters and
also improved in the defensive
department.
The lone reluming letterman

is Bill Moulton, lhe 6′ 5′ giant
who, on any given night, could
jump right out of the gym. Joining Moulton are Dave Denny
and Leroy Lewis—both saw
varsity action last year. Ray
Berg moves up from J. V. ball
to the varsity.
Coach Quenette has been doing some recruiting over the
summer and has come up with
some fine high school ball players who will undoubtedly see
varsity action this season, they
are: Bill Roberson, 6’4″ from

Davis of Yakima; Bruce Shamp
the Port Angeles ace of last
year; Jeff Decker, Ballard of
Seattle. Decker 6’5″ played last
year for The Toggery in the Industrial League. Jim Ward, a
good shot from Federal Way;
and Pat Digby, West Seattle.
These boys give Coach Quenette a lot of talent to choose
from, plus a potentially strong
bench.
The J.V. team will play in lhe
Industrial League if lhe league
is formed.

A.W.S. Reports

Comments About the Dance On November 5 the A.W.S. had a dance in the. library of the college from 9 p.m. to 12 p.m. We had a live band, “The Vicounts,” who were very good, and certainly would have been even better if they hadn’t played quite as loud. People ’who assisted at the dance were very enthusiastic about it and said it was a great success and the best activity held so far this year.
The A.W.S. Communicates A national convention will be held at Whitman College in
Walla Walla from November 19 to 21. The four officers of this college, Cecilia Rice( president), Donna Sienko (vice-president), Barbara Majeski (secretary and treasurer) and Claudette Reandeau (B.O.C. representative) will go to Walla Walla, accompanied by Miss Gala, our Counselor. They will leave early on Friday morning, November 19, and be back on Sunday the 21st in the afternoon. The Christmas formal will be held by the A.W.S. on December 21 (right after finals),
in Harrington’s Skyroom from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. We will have a professional band, “Gerald Schwary and the Shadows,” who are from Portland. Come!
It is also bound to be a great success!
– Hilde Bock,A.W.S. Reporter

A.W.S. Dance a big success

The unusual party put on by Phi Theta Kappa on October 22, was a very successful one. The party, which was held in the student center and G-l, lasted from 8:30 until 12:00 p.m.
The fun began when Miss Gala demonstrated some folk dances in room G-l. Many students participated in these dances, and some became quite
good at them. Most of us, however, were lost after “stompslide . . . stomp-slide.” Bruno
Kochansky was Miss Gala’s partner as she demonstrated the two dances, “The Mountain Stomp” and “The Jessie Polka.”
The most popular game of the evening was contributed by Mr. Crawford. Throughout the evening, the crash of a pie-pan on the floor was heard always accompanied by shrieks and laughter. The game was made with corks, string, beans, piepans, and dice; you would have to see it to believe how much fun it could be.
During the evening, several of our foreign students spoke of their own countries and their impressions of our country. Salvadore Sacapanio explained that he had come to Peninsula on an athletic scholarship. He is from Hawaii. Hilde Boch showed colored slides of Chile, and she was aided by Alex Jimenez of Peru. Karla Lindgren told of life in England. She was raised in the Near East, but finished her education in

England because of the lack of higher educational schools in the Near East. Her talk was very interesting, and it included a few comments about the “Mods” and “Rockers” of England. Mike and J.D. played guitars and sang folk songs. The folk singing was very popular, and some students sang throughout the entire evening.
Other popular games were Miss Holm’s favorite, Chinese checkers; scrabble, and a card game called “Nuris.” When the party ended, some students were still playing the bean game.
Those who stayed to clean up after 12:00 took down the decorations and burst the 100 balloons.

Sonic Boom

Sudden silence overcame the campus Wednesday, November 10, as a blast shook the
very foundation of new P.C. It’s hard to say what was going through the panic-stricken
minds of students and faculty but it was plain to see that it wasn’t far from utter fright. Mr.
Maier quickly assured all that it was simply a sonic boom.
Whew!!!

Sophs sponsor scavenger hunt

The Sophomore class sponsored a scavenger hunt and dance on Friday, October 29, its first big event of the year.
Instead of the usual costume party held at this time of the year, students attended the party in casual dress. The bigevent was held al the scout hall on Seventh and Chase.
According to Cecelia, chairman of the event, “Everyone who came seemed to have a marvelous time. However it could have been better had the attendance been greater.” Approximately 75 students attended the party. No admission was charged.
Students were broken up into four teams. After an hour and a half, the first team successful to gather a list of objects returned to the scout hall. The winning team consisted of Kristi Morrish, Mike Dougherty, Betty Petit, Ken Price, and Sandy
Fullerton. Among the more unusual articles collected by the group were: one pickled pig’s foot, a salmon eye, one cup of popped corn, a yo-yo, and a curtain pleater.
After winners of the hunt were announced, everyone gathered around and danced and sang folk songs led by Don Kirner until 1:00 a.m. Records for the dance were donated to the sophomore class by KONP radio station here in Port Angeles.
Helping Cecelia Rice on the party were Jim Elbrader, Carl Keeler, Pauline Arndt, Karen Douglas and Delaine Julian.

Tests Available

Many students arriving at college for the first time are not aware of the various tests they may take after their arrival, to aid them in using their college years to the best advantage.
Of course, every student entering college is required to
take the Basic Aptitude Test which indicates proficiencies and points out weaknesses in subjects wherein he may find difficuty in maintaining satisfactory grades.
In addition to this, the student who is not sure of his interests may lake the Vocational Interest Test to help him determine the field where his talents are likely to bring him the most success in a career that best suits his individual abilities.
If a student is having difficulty maintaining good grades, his problem may be one caused by poor study habits, rather than a lack of intelligence. For this situation he may have a Study Habits Inventory which will aid him in finding out where his methods are in need of improvement, and the best ways in which to remedy this.
Occasionally individual psychology tests are administered
when there is a need for a deeper study of conflicts in a student. These include the
Rorschach Test, the Thematic Apperception Test and the Wexler Intelligence scale. These tests are given at the discretion of the College counsellors.
Sometimes a battery of vocational aptitude tests are needed by a sudent who is seeking
employment. The Guidance and Counseling Department of Peninsula College cooperates with the Employment Service of Washington State in giving these tests.
According to Dr. Merle Meacham, Director of Guidance and Counseling, sometimes too much emphasis is placed on tests, and they do not provide the final answers.

Tidepools to be published

The latest issue of Peninsula College’s literary magazine will soon be available to students. This edition promises to be the most creative one so far. Called “Tidepools,” it has been under the care and supervision of Miss Avalon for the past several months. Besides a good number of stories and poems written by Peninsula College students, it will feature a variety of drawings and photographs. There is a vast amount of hidden talent on campus that is sure to be recognized with this publication.

From the Crows nest.

By PHYLLIS JOHNSON
Right off, I’d say it must have been a pretty rough weekend, from the way some students looked on Monday.
As the quarter progresses, the library study room seems to get emptier and emptier and the student center seems to get more and more crowded. Now that the big “mid-term scare” (grades) is over, students can relax a bit. However, just wait till that last week of school before Christmas vacation begins
—finals! Eeeek! 1 Take heed, people: a certain Miss Peggy Lancaster observed her birthday on November 5.
Happy Birthday, Peg. You say Mr. Prevost made it on time for his 8 o’clock algebra class twice in a row???
Due to the Veterans Day holiday, students enjoyed an extra day of leisure on November 11.
Next comes Thanksgiving vacation, and then, less than a
month later, we can all relax for a bit at the closing of fall quarter.
If the rain continues to fall, we’d better post life guards at short intervals between the parking lot and administration building. Goodness, just last week another VW was lost in a mud puddle in the student parking lot.
According to reports, Mr.Maier is about ready to set out on a journey across the great Peninsula Sea of Mud to find out what lies on the other side.
What’s this I hear about one of our Peninsula students making money on the coke machine in the student center? Let me leave you with this encouraging thought: “The most valuable result of all education is to make yourself do the thing you have to do when it ought to be done— whether you want to do it or not.”
