Who would have thought, five or six years ago, that a pert young co-ed would be pushing the cum­ bersome, wobbling mail cart down to the post office every afternoon. Everybody on campus knows Romaline Hall, better known as Dutch, the girl now filling that position. Dutch says the opportun- Editorial “1961” Edinboro reached the prime old age of eighty-five years on January 26 last. The centenary, then, is just around the corner. Is it too early to begin preparation for that event? We think not. We suggest that as a beginning the annual celebration of Edinboro’s) history in a Founder s Day observance. Let one day each year, in assembly program at least, be devoted to the history of the history of the college. We doubt very much that the undergraduates have any clear idea of the place Edinboro holds in the free public education program that has been developed in the Commonwealth. Certainly their knowledge of the men who spent their lives in the founding and development of the college is exactly nil. If our centenary should be coming up next year we would be badly prepared to do proper honor to it. Unless we take the proper steps to revive memories of the long ago, and to crystallize the thinking that makes up the body of college tradition we are going to muff a great opportunity in 1961. work, Dutch replied that the crook­ ed wheel on the mail cart causes a lot of humorous comment, even by strangers who stop to talk about i it. The only serious mishap that | ever took place was the time the [ key was lost and for two days, she, with the frenzy of a conscien­ ) tious worker, searched the campus ) and surrounding territory, to final­ r ly accidentally discover them un­ ji der a cushion of a chair in her room where they had slid from 'P 1 her pocket. Dutch claims that her job as ft: mail girl does not interfere with her school work, that the average person wastes three hours a day, p; anyway, and of her own time she puts these three hours in profitab­ fl ly and enjoyably.

So now, I have made a pact with myself — that when I am away from Edinboro and I be­ gin to be troubled, I will retravel these paths in my mind’s eye and try to seek the peace I have found there.
