    Second-semester students seeking an associate degree in electrical technology at Penn College installed electrical service to Lime Bluff Recreation Area in Hughesville throughout the fall semester. The 15 students gained four months of "real-world" experience as they provided lighting and outlets to a maintenance building and a park pavilion, granting a longtime wish of the East Lycoming Recreation Authority to bring electricity to the park. "They really saved us a ton of money, both in drafting and in electrical," said Thomas Zavalydriga, project director for the authority. "I've been in management all my professional career and these students have done just an outstanding job from a professional ... and a personal standpoint."
