Snowballs Fly at the Fun Packed Winter Carnival
PICTURESQUE POCMONT LODGE
SCENE OF WINTER CARNIVAL
The first annual Winter Carnival was held at Pocmont Lodge
in Bushkill, Pennsylvania over the week end of January 11, 12,
and 13. It was a huge success.
We left Friday afternoon at
about 3:45 p.m. and after a
laugh packed 140 mile trip, we
arrived safely at Pocmont about
7:45 p.m. Immediately upon ar-rival
we ate! Later after getting
our room assignments and our
baggage settled, we danced to
the music of a four piece combo,
which featured a female, "Gene
Krupa."
Saturday, during the morning
we skiied, skated, and rode to-boggans
until we thought we
would drop. At lunch it really
happened, the Schmitt twins,
two A & D seniors, came to eat
in different clothing. In the aft-ernoon
we had a face washing
session in the snow that lasted
an hour and a half. Everyone
was a good sport in the snow
fight as we buried Dr. and Mrs.
De Giovanni in the snow.
Saturday night we danced to
the music of the same four piece
band. Anita Dussich and Paul
Carroll won a bottle of cham-pagne
dancing to a fox trot. The
judges couldn't decide a final
winner in the lindy so we de-cided
to give the bottle to two
couples. The couples consisted
of Sandy Taylor, Buddy Pfaff,
Mary Rue and Frank Pfaff.- The
group couldn't decide what other
type of dance contest to hold
and the suggestion was made to
gi\'e the champagne to Dr. and
Mrs. De Giovanni. The group
felt that this was a good idea
so Dr. and Mrs. De Giovanni did
a lindy for us. Later Saturday
night we picked a king and
queen of the carnival. Howie
Dawson and Denise Patchell
were chosen.
Sunday morning, after a long
night's sleep, only a few people
had enough energy to do much
skating or skiing. Sunday after-noon,
about half of the group
squeezed together their last bit
of energy and went on a four
to five mile hike in the woods.
After a buffet supper at four
o'clock, we packed our bags and
boarded the bus.- We almost left
the art seniors, Bob Trondsen
and Bob Manning behind.
Traffic Violators
To Be Prosecuted
The majority of students at-tending
LIATI commute. This
great number has given rise to
many problems, that of ade-quate
parking, regulations of
campus speed limits, appropriate
stop signs, registering of auto-mobiles,
and the maintenance
and cleanliness of parking lots.
Many things have been done
by the school administration to
better the situation. A new
parking lot has been set up,
signs indicating speed limits
have been posted, stop signs
have been installed, registration
is simpler, and waste baskets
have been provided in the re-spective
parking lot.
The full solution to the prob-lem
rests entirely in the hands
of you, the students. You know
what a stop sign means, so no-tice
the new ones, and STOP.
Obey rules of good driving, and
preserve the cars, roads, plus
the pedestrians!!
Utilize the available facilities,
but respect the rules concerning
them. In this way we will have
a coordinated system which will
benefit everyone.
Because of the many viola-tions,
by both students, and fac-ulty,
a new system has been set
up whereby student council
members have been made "act-ing
policemen." They will watch
for speeders and traffic violators
and turn their tag number in.
After two warnings have been
given a person and his name
placed in Hew and Cry Warn-ing
List, his name will be turn-ed
in to the administration for
the consequences. This isn't fun
for anyone, but it seems to be
necessary. This plan will go in-to
effect on Monday, January 28.
The Student Council asks
your full co-operation in this
matter. Use y o u r Common
Sense—Be sensible!
Election of Talented Campus Queen
Slated For February 8, Assembly
On Tuesday night, January 15, five semi-finalists from nine
young ladies attending our school were chosen for the Campus
Queen Contest. Mrs. R. Purcell, and Miss Sharon White, advisors
to the Rambler acted as chairmen of the program held in Knapp
Hall lounge. The following fac-ulty
members acted as judges:

Jean Galluzzo, Dental Hygiene
Dept.; Mr. D. Thomson, Mr. W.

DH Club Presents
Sweetheart Swing
FUN, Surprises, dancing and
Free refreshments—That's what
is in store for all those who are
planning to attend the DH
Club's second annual Dance.
This dance, The "Sweetheart
Swing" will be held on Febru-ary
2, 1957 at Whitman Lanes.
The music will be supplied by a
"gone" group—The Collenians.
The dress is semi-formal which
means dark suits for guys, and
formals or cocktail dresses for
the girls.
Chairman of the dance, Mary-edith
Rue has the support of the
whole D H Club. Other girls
working on committees are:
Decorations: chairman, Terry
Rome, Joan Zulkofske, Pat Jen-kins,
Sheila Kastins, Myrna
Glendall, Marilyn Hogan, Mag-gis
Watt, Elsie Pfiefer, Elaine
Molter, and others. Ticket
Committee: chairman, Pat Dal-ton,
and Mimi Mann, Joyce Le-vitan,
and Ginny Lash are also
doing a good job.
Buy your tickets now from any
DH, or at the door. The "do-nation"
is $3.50, so all the "Re-freshments"
or — "you know
what" are free. Some of the
posters were made by the Fresh-men
girls, and three were made
professionally by the Art Asso-ciation.
The dance will be full of sur-prises
and your reporter can't
disclose these secrets, or they
wouldn't be surprises. Invite
your sweetheart and come along
to the swing where you'll have
a great time—"A real Fling."
If the success of this dance
can be judged by previous proj-ects
of the Dental Hygiene Club,
there is no doubt of its suc-cess.
In October the DH Club
had its Senior Freshman Tea
in Knapp Hall Lounge. This
started the year. Later another
affair was held in honor of Dr.
Thomas, new department head.
At Homecoming Day the club
again showed its ambition and
talent in presenting the float
which won F i f t h Prize.
The Club under the leadership
of Carol Wilcott, president, Myr-na
Glendell, vice president;
Lynne Zimmerman, secretary,
and Mary Edith Rue, treasurer,
will undoubtedly present a fine
dance as planned.
