EDINBORO STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE, EDINBORO, PA.______________________ April 14,
Dr. Johnson Attends Mrs. Wertman Is
Academy Of Science New Dietician Here
Dr. Johnson, representing Ed
inboro State Teachers College, at
tended the Pennsylvania Academy
of Science convention held at the
Pennsylvania Museum in Harris
burg, April 2 and 3.
The Pennsylvania Academy of
Science meets annually and in
cludes all branches of science in
colleges, universities and high
schools. This is the same organ
ization that met in Edinboro last
year, the only time that its con
vention has ever been held in
northwestern Pennsylvania.
The chief speakers were Dr.
John M. Fogg, Jr., representing
the botany department of the Uni-1
versity of Pennsylvania, and Dr.
William L. Rhein. Dr. Fogg dis
cussed the topic “Surveying Penn
sylvania,” and Dr. Rhein told ol
“Nesting Habits of the Raven”
which were previously unknown.
In addition to these some thirty
research papers were presented.
Dr. Johnson’s topic was “Some
Further Observations on Cercaria
Edinborensis”. This is a parasite
of a vertebrate that lives in Ed
inboro Lake. Topics of discussion
were “Certification of High School
Science Teachers” and “Science in
Relation to War”.
Dr. Johnson has been chairman
of the Science Education in War
time Committee and was reap
pointed for chairman for the fol
lowing year. He was also appoint
ed chairman of the Publicity Com
mittee. In 1934 Dr. Johnson had
the honor of being president ol
the Pennsylvania Academy of
Science.
Edinboro’s new dietician, Mrs.
Hazel Wertman, is in reality no
stranger to Edinboro. In 1928 Mrs.
Wertman, then Hazel Schrack, ac
cepted a position here and re
mained until June, 1935 when she
left to make her home with Mr.
Wertman in Albany, New York.
W. Howard Wertman is a gradu
ate of Edinboro and has since
taught art in Albany.
Mrs. Wertman received her i
bachelors degree in Home Econ-|
omics from Nebraska State Teach-1
ers College, Kearney, Nebraska, i
After graduation she did post [
graduate work at Kansas State
College. She then served foi' a,
year at the University of Wyom-1
ing as instructor in Institutional I
Management and as manager of |
the Commons, the university din- ,
ing hall. In June, 1928, Mrs. Wert-;
man received her master’s de- .
gree in Institutional Management1
from Iowa State College.

Wilson, Thursday, April 15th, in
the New College Auditorium, at
eight o’clock P. M.
“H.M.S. Pinafore” or “The Lass
that Loved a Sailor” is a comic
opera in two acts. It was first pro
duced in London, May, 1878 and in
New York City, November, 1878.
Recent revivals of this opera have
proved that it has lost none of its
original charm and wit. Strange
ly this most successful of all light
operas was not accepted with fa
vor in England at first but owes
its success to Americans who en
joyed the satire on English of
ficials such as Sir Joseph Porter.
It was last produced on the Ed
inboro College Campus in 1933.
The cast, a varied but most ac
ceptable group of characters are
supported by a male chorus of sail
ors and a, girl chorus of relatives
to Sir Joseph. It may ne noted
that due to circumstances both
choruses are composed or girls.
The part of Ralph Rackstraw, an
able and handsome young seaman
is played by Dewey Long, and
Josephine, the Captain’s lovely

to the music of todays
Mr. Werrenrath holds that Am

in spite of the European influ

be America’s most characteristic
musical expression.

Letters To The Editor
A few weeks ago when Frank Holowach, now a corporal at the
U. S. Army Reception Center, New Cumberland, Pennsylvania,
visited Edinboro we asked him to writel something for the papei
about our boys who have gone to war. Here is what he has to re
port about Edinboro’s “29” while they were at New Cumberland:
“Tennyson would fire the starting gun on this stubby chronicle
of the ‘29’ by appealing, ‘Comrades, leave me here a little while as yet
*tis early morn; leave me here and when you want me sound upon
the bugle horn. But morning is too early for most of Edinboro. Let
the time be night, and lines start this way: ‘Comrades, take a little
time off from gazing at the stars, from hearing the wind sigh through
the high maples, on campus and from looking at the windows that
are dark in Reeder Hall, to listen to the story of the Roster 703.’ In
other words lend me your ears cousins. You’ll be glad enough to
get them back.
The roster itself is now but a file of typed card boxed to ‘moulder
in dust away’, and the cadre of Company D are busy with unending
successors, but the thirty odd soldiers who heard the chant of ‘703’
in their ears for a week may still remember it. It had its beginning
when Edinboro’s Enlisted Reservists hopped stiffly down from their
refrigerator car to line up facing the Susquehanna and the cold win
ter fog. It matriculated at the Checking Station, one hundred and
twenty long steps up thd hill, where each member was tagged and
assigned to quarters. Freshman week was composed of entrance
exams, aptitude probings, fifteen-minute interviews, inspection of
supply lines, inoculations and a hearing of the Articles of War.
The course of study didn’t begin until a week later, and graduation
exercises were postponed indefinitely. However, in two days (cal
endar time) the members of the roster had all the outer trappings of
a soldier and some of the inner markings.
Several of these markings could be traced directly to the needles
of the inoculation room. To veterans, men with three days service.
first of all disagreeable words is K.P., but to new soldiers the word
‘shots’ conjures up more fearful horrors than the thought of being
targets at sunrise. In this fear they are aided and abetted. As child
ren are frightened with the mention of ‘bear’ and ‘gost’, so are
recruits chilled with the mention of what they have coming to them.
The barracks rumors are full of ‘needles a foot long, by heck! The
square-headed one is pretty bad, but boy the worst thing you ever
felt is the one with a propeller on it!’ After a build up like that
Joe Spence had to be pushed away when, they were just getting
warmed up to their job.
Their processing complete and the first flurry of postcards
dropped into the mail slot, the twenty-nine developd a natural
curiosity in their surroundings. Now they had time to stare into
the mirror with the black words above and below it—‘If you talk
too much, this man may die’; to jam, into the new post theatre
practically every night, to stroll in the May air, and to gossip before
and after bedtime in their barracks. Little bits of army slang
would crop up naturally in their talk, phrases like ‘blow your top
get gigged, hunch the detail on the double, goldbrick, chow, sweat
this out, snake eyes’ plus smattering of mild cuss words. As they
got to know their way around they began to tolerate the camp
although a good deal of their time was spent in wondering where’
when and how they would be shipped out. There was time also
for some sessions of KP and for pulling a few details, but those
were minor matters except for George Hills who developed an
active distaste for cockroaches.
Working, letter writing, bunk fatigue, movies, walking, looking
and talking—these were their pre-occupations. To this list Bill
Dove added teaching. But education suffered for lack of pupils after
the first few lessons with the pasteboards and Ivories Items re
lating to the ‘29’s’ stay here could be told indefinitely, .but personal
glimpses can be revealed with much more interest and less embarrassment by the victims themselves.
As they had come by darkness, so they went. Fragment bv
fragment,, parts of the roster broke off to scatter over five states
and little by little the number was narrowed down to nothing The
file cards of Roster 703 were transferred from the active file to the
inactive. The soldiers gladly reversed the process. The iob of
one was done; that of the other was just beginning.”

Dr. Johnson, representing Ed

tended the Pennsylvania Academy
of Science convention held at the
Pennsylvania Museum in Harris
burg, April 2 and 3.
The Pennsylvania Academy of
Science meets annually and in
cludes all branches of science in
colleges, universities and high
schools. This is the same organ
ization that met in Edinboro last
year, the only time that its con
vention has ever been held in
northwestern Pennsylvania.
The chief speakers were Dr.
John M. Fogg, Jr., representing
the botany department of the Uni-1
versity of Pennsylvania, and Dr.
William L. Rhein. Dr. Fogg dis
cussed the topic “Surveying Penn
sylvania,” and Dr. Rhein told ol
“Nesting Habits of the Raven”
which were previously unknown.
In addition to these some thirty
research papers were presented.
Dr. Johnson’s topic was “Some
Further Observations on Cercaria
Edinborensis”. This is a parasite
of a vertebrate that lives in Ed
inboro Lake. Topics of discussion
were “Certification of High School
Science Teachers” and “Science in
Relation to War”.
Dr. Johnson has been chairman
of the Science Education in War
time Committee and was reap
pointed for chairman for the fol
lowing year. He was also appoint
ed chairman of the Publicity Com
mittee. In 1934 Dr. Johnson had
the honor of being president ol
the Pennsylvania Academy of
Science.
Edinboro’s new dietician, Mrs.
Hazel Wertman, is in reality no
stranger to Edinboro. In 1928 Mrs.
Wertman, then Hazel Schrack, ac
cepted a position here and re
mained until June, 1935 when she
left to make her home with Mr.
Wertman in Albany, New York.
W. Howard Wertman is a gradu
ate of Edinboro and has since
taught art in Albany.
Mrs. Wertman received her i

“H.M.S. Pinafore” or “The Lass

opera in two acts. It was first pro

New York City, November, 1878.
Recent revivals of this opera have
proved that it has lost none of its
original charm and wit. Strange
ly this most successful of all light
operas was not accepted with fa
vor in England at first but owes
its success to Americans who en
joyed the satire on English of
ficials such as Sir Joseph Porter.
It was last produced on the Ed

The cast, a varied but most ac

that due to circumstances both

Letters To The Editor
A few weeks ago when Frank Holowach, now a corporal at the
U. S. Army Reception Center, New Cumberland, Pennsylvania,
visited Edinboro we asked him to writel something for the papei
about our boys who have gone to war. Here is what he has to re
port about Edinboro’s “29” while they were at New Cumberland:
“Tennyson would fire the starting gun on this stubby chronicle
of the ‘29’ by appealing, ‘Comrades, leave me here a little while as yet
*tis early morn; leave me here and when you want me sound upon
the bugle horn. But morning is too early for most of Edinboro. Let
the time be night, and lines start this way: ‘Comrades, take a little
time off from gazing at the stars, from hearing the wind sigh through
the high maples, on campus and from looking at the windows that
are dark in Reeder Hall, to listen to the story of the Roster 703.’ In
other words lend me your ears cousins. You’ll be glad enough to
get them back.
The roster itself is now but a file of typed card boxed to ‘moulder
in dust away’, and the cadre of Company D are busy with unending
successors, but the thirty odd soldiers who heard the chant of ‘703’
in their ears for a week may still remember it. It had its beginning
when Edinboro’s Enlisted Reservists hopped stiffly down from their
refrigerator car to line up facing the Susquehanna and the cold win
ter fog. It matriculated at the Checking Station, one hundred and
twenty long steps up thd hill, where each member was tagged and
assigned to quarters. Freshman week was composed of entrance
exams, aptitude probings, fifteen-minute interviews, inspection of
supply lines, inoculations and a hearing of the Articles of War.
The course of study didn’t begin until a week later, and graduation
exercises were postponed indefinitely. However, in two days (cal
endar time) the members of the roster had all the outer trappings of
a soldier and some of the inner markings.
Several of these markings could be traced directly to the needles
of the inoculation room. To veterans, men with three days service.
first of all disagreeable words is K.P., but to new soldiers the word
‘shots’ conjures up more fearful horrors than the thought of being
targets at sunrise. In this fear they are aided and abetted. As child
ren are frightened with the mention of ‘bear’ and ‘gost’, so are
recruits chilled with the mention of what they have coming to them.
The barracks rumors are full of ‘needles a foot long, by heck! The
square-headed one is pretty bad, but boy the worst thing you ever
felt is the one with a propeller on it!’ After a build up like that
Joe Spence had to be pushed away when, they were just getting
warmed up to their job.
Their processing complete and the first flurry of postcards
dropped into the mail slot, the twenty-nine developd a natural
curiosity in their surroundings. Now they had time to stare into
the mirror with the black words above and below it—‘If you talk
too much, this man may die’; to jam, into the new post theatre
practically every night, to stroll in the May air, and to gossip before
and after bedtime in their barracks. Little bits of army slang
would crop up naturally in their talk, phrases like ‘blow your top
get gigged, hunch the detail on the double, goldbrick, chow, sweat
this out, snake eyes’ plus smattering of mild cuss words. As they
got to know their way around they began to tolerate the camp
although a good deal of their time was spent in wondering where’
when and how they would be shipped out. There was time also
for some sessions of KP and for pulling a few details, but those
were minor matters except for George Hills who developed an
active distaste for cockroaches.
Working, letter writing, bunk fatigue, movies, walking, looking
and talking—these were their pre-occupations. To this list Bill
Dove added teaching. But education suffered for lack of pupils after
the first few lessons with the pasteboards and Ivories Items re
lating to the ‘29’s’ stay here could be told indefinitely, .but personal
glimpses can be revealed with much more interest and less embarrassment by the victims themselves.
As they had come by darkness, so they went. Fragment bv
fragment,, parts of the roster broke off to scatter over five states
and little by little the number was narrowed down to nothing The
file cards of Roster 703 were transferred from the active file to the
inactive. The soldiers gladly reversed the process. The iob of
one was done; that of the other was just beginning.”
