Commencement
To Be Staged
With Mr. William S. Livengood,
Jr., Secretary of Internal Affairs,
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
as principal speaker, the eightysecond annual graduation exer­
cises of Edinboro State Teachers
College will be held in the New
Auditorium on Tuesday, May 25,
at 10:00 A. M. when twenty-three
seniors of the Class of 1943 re­
ceive degrees.
Those receiving degrees in art
curriculum are: Sybil Oblinski,
Alice Sewell, Mary Taylor, Dick
Whitehill, Mary Claire Wild. Sec­
ondary Curriculum: Esther Es­
tock, Joe Scalise, Theodore Vesber, Ruth Wagenknecht. Elemen­
tary Curriculum: Donna Bartram,
Margaret Crowe, Margaret Ellwanger, Jeannette Gordon, Norma
Grettenberger, Marjorie Hamil­
ton, Audrey Hinkson, Shirley
Kaufman, Kay Maxon, Viola
Mead, Bettie Miller, Edna Mit­
chell, Camille Peck, Thelma
Shorts.
The future looks exceptionally
bright for this fine class. There
is an abundance of school jobs;
there are opportunities to advance
and to choose carefully the type
of work they wish to follow.
Some of the class are already out
teaching where positions were va­
cated and the need was great,
many have left theii' classmates
for a temporary job in the armed
services, and many more will soon
be joining their fellow men in all
sorts of careers whether it be in
the school, the home, or the ser­
vice. To these, all of Edinboro’s
faculty and students wish the
greatest happiness and succecss
for the future whatever it may
be.

Here then is the graduating
class of 1943, a class with a bright
future among days of darkness, a
class who must face this future
bravely and teach the meaning of
the words peace, happiness and
freedom.
