Students Observe
European Victory
On May 8, 1945, the whole
world heard the official proclama
tions that this was V-E Day. After
President Truman’s speech, the
students of Edinboro State Teach
ers College attended an assembly
which had been prepared especi
ally for this memorable day in
history.
Dr. L. H. Van Houten, presi
dent of the college, opened the
service with a brief speech after
which he turned the program
over to Mrs. Campbell who direct
ed the group in the singing of sev
eral patriotic songs. Rose J. Pertl
then offered a prayer of thanks
giving and hope for the future.
“The Significance of V-E Day”, a
reflective talk of the war up to
this day, was given by Mrs. V. E.
I Zahniser.
The group then gathered in
front of the auditorium where
Bette Miller gave a tribute to the
Edinboro S. T. C. fighting boys
and girls. To Wilbur Sloan, Ken
neth Sachrison, John R. Kaufman,
William Barohn, Neil Harrison,
and James Payne, who have died
in their country’s service, Miss H.
Ketcham directed her tribute. Dr.
L. H. Van Houten gave a “Re
dedication to the Task Ahead”, to
the yet unfinished part of the war.
The salute to the flag, led by Dr.
J. C. Johnson, was followed by the
group singing the “Star Spangled
Banner”.

have that we may stay at home—going on as usual with few dis
comforts, except aching hearts.
We knoyv they are enduring hardships for us, the ground for
a bed, extreme fatigue, cold, hunger; that we may eat our three
meals a day and sleep in our beds without a sense of fear.
We hold our heads high as we look at the honor roll and see
the names of those men and women representing Edinboro in the
struggle for freedom.
There is so little we can say, but if we could send a message
to our Edinboro representatives in the service of their country it
would be this—“We are proud of your sacrifices, our prayers, our
hearts, our hopes—are all with Thee.”

(Printed by the Albion News, Albion, Penn'a)
Many will say that all things change; nothing is ever the
same. Nothing changes entirely. Change is a slow, laborous step
and can take one ahead or pull one hack.
As each building, no matter what its style or purpose, has a
foundation of stone, brick, or cement, so must each teacher, no
mailer what his field, have a foundation of History, English, and
Science. As buildings have slightly different foundations, each
according to its own special needs, so the teacher is trained also
along the special line of his field.
Some foundations are stronger than others. A strong house
cannot be built upon a weak foundation.
At Edinboro is provided the material for your foundation:
the brick, the cement, and the stone. You must take them and
with them build, your own foundation. Only you alone can lay
the pieces and put the mortar between. You alone can make your
foundations straight and strong.
Who can foretell to what use that this structure will be put.
Some of your stones will fall away from lack of use and will not
be missed; some, you will suddenly call upon for support and you
will find that they arc in need of repair. Many of your walls will
be solid and strong for, in realizing their importance, you will
have kept them clean and fixed.
The foundation of your teaching years is mainly your prob
lem; others can help, but you must do the actual work. You have
building materials of great value. Use them well, keep them well
and you need never fear that the opening of a door will find one
room of your house fallen because of a weak foundation.
» * *
In a few days many of our friends will leave this campus with
their degrees—a diploma telling of sound masonry completed.
For three or four years they have been a part of the life on this
campus. Now they arc ready to build a house on the foundations
that they have laid here.
Wherever they go, whatever they do, our best wishes for hap
piness and success goes with them.
At this lime wc wish to express our sincere appreciation to
those who have helped and contributed to make this paper pos
sible. Thank you.

The group also made further

Its been a long time since I ve
seen any of the familiar faces of
my college days. Here am I now,
sitting on a cloud in Heaven won
dering where they can-be, I really
had quite a time persuading St.
Peter that there was a special
place for me in heaven but after
some bickering, he opened the
Golden Gate and well — you
know the rest.
I’ve been thinking about that
class of 1945, often lately. Let’s
see there was Rosie, Ann, Stinky,
Flick, Johnny, Red, Nat, Hattie,
Pat, Rikki and all the rest. Guess
I’ll just get out my telescope and
have myself a look around. I
noticed as I came in that there
were several familiar names on
the mailboxes and then too, a
special directory for those whose
souls rest elsewhere.
There was Nat Jacobson, re
member her? I had a little chat
with St. Peter as I came in. He
set me straight on a few things. It
seems there are very few of us
here thus far. Well, anyway, Nat
became the National Speed Cham
pion in swimming. She made a
dive for the King of England. By
the way, he’s a bachelor. It seems
she had a brilliant swimming
career.
Speaking of Nat. Remember
her spats with Stinky? Now there
was a girl. World War II over,
Clinton and Stinky bought them
selves a home and settled down.
I remember seeing their picture in
Life magazine. Thy had just cele
brated their 70th Wedding Anni
versary.
Jean Bailey—Oh, another one
to remember. A better Art stu
dent—I know—I roomed with her
for awhile and I still have oil
paints practically ground into my
skin. Well, anyway, Jean’s paint
ings may now be seen in famous
homes .all over the world. She
made several trips abroad and it
was on one of these trips she
snagged (yes, snagged) her hus
band, Pierre Aumont, a famous
French Artist. It seems he wasn’t
very good at interpreting English
and Jean beat him to the draw.
We all knew even in school that
Marcia Johnson had a future at
least six feet tall. Well, it seems
she said “I do” and they lived
happily ever after.
Mary Artico made a fortune
selling bottles from the 5c and 10c
store at $2.50 apiece because she
was clever enough to. conceive the
idea of decorating them with pos
ter paint—leave it to Mary. They
say John D. Rockefeller had noth
ing on her.

goes—would come down to earth

By the way, remember Ruth
Jones, the girl with the beautiful
tresses? Her sailor came home
and because he loved the water so
much they bought a houseboat
and you could find them any day
at No. 335 Mississippi Outlet.
Joyce Ryder gave up her idea
of teaching Kindergarten to do a
little teaching of her own “younguns.” It seems Joyce wrote a
book famous the world over on
“Why You Shouldn’t Choose
Teaching As a Profession.” I’ll
bet there were some others in that
class who could have written vol
umes on the same subject.
Loveen Albright really went
into Theater Arts head over heels.
The last I’ve heard of her she had
accepted a position with the Trav
eling Trailers of Tiddiute—a play
production company that really
was tops.
Mrs. Truminski (you know her
as Mrs. Kelly) the wittiest Nit Wit
that ever hit Edinboro, was writ
ing a column on “Advice to the
Lovelorn,” or “Men—Beware.”
Her column was second to none
and she made a name for the
New York Midnite Mirror, a na
tionwide paper.
Did you know that the real ob
ject of Edinboro was to produce
super teachers?
Loretta Walz
proved to be just such a teacher
It is said that she influenced more
people to become teachers than
any other person on the continent.
Margaret Artise decided teach
ing wasn’t for her and gave up the
teaching career for a music career.
She composed several select
selections, among them the
“Don’t Belch or You Bulge,
tune fit for the King of Jitterbugs.

ADAMLESS DANCE*
At East Stroudsburg State
Teachers College, the annual
Spring Frolic, sponsored by the
Women’s Executive Council was
in the form of an Adamless Dance.
This affair, as the name implies,
was strictly for women students.
The girls attended in couples, at

extreme characterizations as that
of Queen Elizabeth and Tyrone
Power to that of a surly top ser

as it might be. And one thing
more, remember Bea Hanna, the
girl who fell down and stepped all
over herself? She’s the vocalist
without orchestra here behind the
Pearly Gates—and I might add, a
good one, too.
Well, as I said before, it’s been
nice reminiscing and I feel bettei’
now that I know the Seniors of
the Class of 1945 have had a
happy, successful life. They de
served it, every one of them.
At the W.A.A. meeting on May
16, 1945, many awards were
given. These awards consist of
emblems, sweater, college E’s,
blazers and a W.A.A. pin. Pre
sentation of trophies was also
made.
To receive any of these awards
a certain amount of points are re
quired. To obtain an emblem, the
number of points is 150; for the
sweater, 300 are needed; and the
blazer is obtainable for 800 points.
The W.A.A. pin is received when
a girl has 1200 points beside a year
of W.A.A. presidency or two se
mesters of teaching a sport.
Only one person received this
pin this semester. She is Ruth
Jones, who has 1452 points and
her teaching requirement. Two
people received their blazers, they
are Elaine Almgren and Natalie
Jacobson. College E’s were given
to A. Henness, H. Boythe, R.
Mineo, and H. Pushchak. Many
are to receive their sweaters arid
their emblems.
All in all, the W.A.A. has had a
very active year. Sponsoring two
play-days, carrying out traditional
interclass and Phi-Delt games, and
still stressing the individual sports.

W.A.A. Senior
History Noted
Now that graduation is rolling
around again, the W.A.A. is about
to lose several of its star perform
ers. The stars have competed in
hockey, swimming, basketball, and
volley ball.
Bette Miller, one of Edinboro’s
fastest short distance swimmers,
will leave the realm of sports and
proceed elsewhere. She performed
in many pageants and swimming
meets. She is a Phi. Another
swimmer is Natalia Jacobson, a
Delta. She has participated in
many swimming events. Her be
ing a Delt has promoted competi
tion in the pool for the Phis.
Ruth Jones, a prize strokester
and a fast long distance swimmer,
has as her outstanding accomplish
ment the “butterfly” stroke. She
also made a very able basketball
captain for the Seniors and as a
tall Phi, she scored often in bas
ketball. Besides this,, she was a
Phi hockey goalie competing
against the Delt goalie, M. E.
Smock.
In spite of her lack of height,
Mary Artico is a forward who can
intercept passes and get the ball
into the basket for the Delts. The
opposite in size of Mary is the tall
Phi, Louise Hodnick, who added
many points for her team.
The first tournament basketball
game was played by the Upperclassmen-Phi Delt team.
The
Phi’s won with a score of 34-12.
The second game was the Phi DeltFreshman, which was won by the
Delts with a score of 19-12. Due
to the tie the Upperclassmen had
to play again. With a score of 1918, the Deltas won the basketball
tournament. This is the first Delta
basketball victory in seven years.
It may be noticed that all of
these sports women on the Edin
boro campus are art students, but
there are some secondary and ele
mentary sportssters, too. Another
“bug” is Rikki Almgren, who is a
right inner on the • hockey team.
Mary Belle Fowler is a swinger of

European Victory
On May 8, 1945, the whole
world heard the official proclama
tions that this was V-E Day. After
President Truman’s speech, the
students of Edinboro State Teach
ers College attended an assembly
which had been prepared especi
ally for this memorable day in
history.
Dr. L. H. Van Houten, presi
dent of the college, opened the
service with a brief speech after
which he turned the program
over to Mrs. Campbell who direct
ed the group in the singing of sev
eral patriotic songs. Rose J. Pertl
then offered a prayer of thanks
giving and hope for the future.
“The Significance of V-E Day”, a
reflective talk of the war up to
this day, was given by Mrs. V. E.
I Zahniser.
The group then gathered in
front of the auditorium where
Bette Miller gave a tribute to the
Edinboro S. T. C. fighting boys
and girls. To Wilbur Sloan, Ken
neth Sachrison, John R. Kaufman,
William Barohn, Neil Harrison,
and James Payne, who have died
in their country’s service, Miss H.
Ketcham directed her tribute. Dr.
L. H. Van Houten gave a “Re
dedication to the Task Ahead”, to
the yet unfinished part of the war.
The salute to the flag, led by Dr.
J. C. Johnson, was followed by the
group singing the “Star Spangled
Banner”.

have that we may stay at home—going on as usual with few dis

We knoyv they are enduring hardships for us, the ground for
a bed, extreme fatigue, cold, hunger; that we may eat our three
meals a day and sleep in our beds without a sense of fear.
We hold our heads high as we look at the honor roll and see
the names of those men and women representing Edinboro in the
struggle for freedom.
There is so little we can say, but if we could send a message
to our Edinboro representatives in the service of their country it
would be this—“We are proud of your sacrifices, our prayers, our
hearts, our hopes—are all with Thee.”

(Printed by the Albion News, Albion, Penn'a)
Many will say that all things change; nothing is ever the
same. Nothing changes entirely. Change is a slow, laborous step
and can take one ahead or pull one hack.
As each building, no matter what its style or purpose, has a
foundation of stone, brick, or cement, so must each teacher, no
mailer what his field, have a foundation of History, English, and
Science. As buildings have slightly different foundations, each
according to its own special needs, so the teacher is trained also
along the special line of his field.
Some foundations are stronger than others. A strong house
cannot be built upon a weak foundation.
At Edinboro is provided the material for your foundation:
the brick, the cement, and the stone. You must take them and
with them build, your own foundation. Only you alone can lay
the pieces and put the mortar between. You alone can make your
foundations straight and strong.
Who can foretell to what use that this structure will be put.
Some of your stones will fall away from lack of use and will not
be missed; some, you will suddenly call upon for support and you
will find that they arc in need of repair. Many of your walls will
be solid and strong for, in realizing their importance, you will
have kept them clean and fixed.
The foundation of your teaching years is mainly your prob
lem; others can help, but you must do the actual work. You have
building materials of great value. Use them well, keep them well
and you need never fear that the opening of a door will find one
room of your house fallen because of a weak foundation.
» * *
In a few days many of our friends will leave this campus with
their degrees—a diploma telling of sound masonry completed.
For three or four years they have been a part of the life on this
campus. Now they arc ready to build a house on the foundations
that they have laid here.
Wherever they go, whatever they do, our best wishes for hap
piness and success goes with them.
At this lime wc wish to express our sincere appreciation to
those who have helped and contributed to make this paper pos
sible. Thank you.

Its been a long time since I ve
seen any of the familiar faces of
my college days. Here am I now,
sitting on a cloud in Heaven won
dering where they can-be, I really
had quite a time persuading St.
Peter that there was a special
place for me in heaven but after
some bickering, he opened the
Golden Gate and well — you
know the rest.
I’ve been thinking about that
class of 1945, often lately. Let’s
see there was Rosie, Ann, Stinky,
Flick, Johnny, Red, Nat, Hattie,
Pat, Rikki and all the rest. Guess
I’ll just get out my telescope and
have myself a look around. I
noticed as I came in that there
were several familiar names on
the mailboxes and then too, a
special directory for those whose
souls rest elsewhere.
There was Nat Jacobson, re
member her? I had a little chat
with St. Peter as I came in. He
set me straight on a few things. It
seems there are very few of us
here thus far. Well, anyway, Nat
became the National Speed Cham
pion in swimming. She made a
dive for the King of England. By
the way, he’s a bachelor. It seems
she had a brilliant swimming
career.
Speaking of Nat. Remember
her spats with Stinky? Now there
was a girl. World War II over,
Clinton and Stinky bought them
selves a home and settled down.
I remember seeing their picture in
Life magazine. Thy had just cele
brated their 70th Wedding Anni
versary.
Jean Bailey—Oh, another one
to remember. A better Art stu
dent—I know—I roomed with her
for awhile and I still have oil
paints practically ground into my
skin. Well, anyway, Jean’s paint
ings may now be seen in famous
homes .all over the world. She
made several trips abroad and it
was on one of these trips she
snagged (yes, snagged) her hus
band, Pierre Aumont, a famous
French Artist. It seems he wasn’t
very good at interpreting English
and Jean beat him to the draw.
We all knew even in school that
Marcia Johnson had a future at
least six feet tall. Well, it seems
she said “I do” and they lived
happily ever after.
Mary Artico made a fortune
selling bottles from the 5c and 10c
store at $2.50 apiece because she
was clever enough to. conceive the
idea of decorating them with pos
ter paint—leave it to Mary. They
say John D. Rockefeller had noth
ing on her.

goes—would come down to earth
once in awhile.
By the way, remember Ruth
Jones, the girl with the beautiful
tresses? Her sailor came home
and because he loved the water so
much they bought a houseboat
and you could find them any day
at No. 335 Mississippi Outlet.
Joyce Ryder gave up her idea
of teaching Kindergarten to do a
little teaching of her own “younguns.” It seems Joyce wrote a
book famous the world over on
“Why You Shouldn’t Choose
Teaching As a Profession.” I’ll
bet there were some others in that
class who could have written vol
umes on the same subject.
Loveen Albright really went
into Theater Arts head over heels.
The last I’ve heard of her she had
accepted a position with the Trav
eling Trailers of Tiddiute—a play
production company that really
was tops.
Mrs. Truminski (you know her
as Mrs. Kelly) the wittiest Nit Wit
that ever hit Edinboro, was writ
ing a column on “Advice to the
Lovelorn,” or “Men—Beware.”
Her column was second to none
and she made a name for the
New York Midnite Mirror, a na
tionwide paper.
Did you know that the real ob
ject of Edinboro was to produce
super teachers?
Loretta Walz
proved to be just such a teacher
It is said that she influenced more
people to become teachers than
any other person on the continent.
Margaret Artise decided teach
ing wasn’t for her and gave up the
teaching career for a music career.
She composed several select
selections, among them the
“Don’t Belch or You Bulge,
tune fit for the King of Jitterbugs.

ADAMLESS DANCE*
At East Stroudsburg State
Teachers College, the annual
Spring Frolic, sponsored by the
Women’s Executive Council was
in the form of an Adamless Dance.
This affair, as the name implies,
was strictly for women students.
The girls attended in couples, at

extreme characterizations as that
of Queen Elizabeth and Tyrone
Power to that of a surly top ser
geant and Eleanor Roosevelt.

as it might be. And one thing
more, remember Bea Hanna, the
girl who fell down and stepped all
over herself? She’s the vocalist
without orchestra here behind the
Pearly Gates—and I might add, a
good one, too.
Well, as I said before, it’s been
nice reminiscing and I feel bettei’
now that I know the Seniors of
the Class of 1945 have had a
happy, successful life. They de
served it, every one of them.
At the W.A.A. meeting on May
16, 1945, many awards were
given. These awards consist of
emblems, sweater, college E’s,
blazers and a W.A.A. pin. Pre
sentation of trophies was also
made.
To receive any of these awards
a certain amount of points are re
quired. To obtain an emblem, the
number of points is 150; for the
sweater, 300 are needed; and the
blazer is obtainable for 800 points.
The W.A.A. pin is received when
a girl has 1200 points beside a year
of W.A.A. presidency or two se
mesters of teaching a sport.
Only one person received this
pin this semester. She is Ruth
Jones, who has 1452 points and
her teaching requirement. Two
people received their blazers, they
are Elaine Almgren and Natalie
Jacobson. College E’s were given
to A. Henness, H. Boythe, R.
Mineo, and H. Pushchak. Many
are to receive their sweaters arid
their emblems.
All in all, the W.A.A. has had a
very active year. Sponsoring two
play-days, carrying out traditional
interclass and Phi-Delt games, and
still stressing the individual sports.

W.A.A. Senior
History Noted
Now that graduation is rolling
around again, the W.A.A. is about
to lose several of its star perform
ers. The stars have competed in
hockey, swimming, basketball, and
volley ball.
Bette Miller, one of Edinboro’s
fastest short distance swimmers,
will leave the realm of sports and
proceed elsewhere. She performed
in many pageants and swimming
meets. She is a Phi. Another
swimmer is Natalia Jacobson, a
Delta. She has participated in
many swimming events. Her be
ing a Delt has promoted competi
tion in the pool for the Phis.
Ruth Jones, a prize strokester
and a fast long distance swimmer,
has as her outstanding accomplish
ment the “butterfly” stroke. She
also made a very able basketball
captain for the Seniors and as a
tall Phi, she scored often in bas
ketball. Besides this,, she was a
Phi hockey goalie competing
against the Delt goalie, M. E.
Smock.
In spite of her lack of height,
Mary Artico is a forward who can
intercept passes and get the ball
into the basket for the Delts. The
opposite in size of Mary is the tall
Phi, Louise Hodnick, who added
many points for her team.
The first tournament basketball
game was played by the Upperclassmen-Phi Delt team.
The
Phi’s won with a score of 34-12.
The second game was the Phi DeltFreshman, which was won by the
Delts with a score of 19-12. Due
to the tie the Upperclassmen had
to play again. With a score of 1918, the Deltas won the basketball
tournament. This is the first Delta
basketball victory in seven years.
It may be noticed that all of
these sports women on the Edin
boro campus are art students, but
there are some secondary and ele
mentary sportssters, too. Another
“bug” is Rikki Almgren, who is a
right inner on the • hockey team.
Mary Belle Fowler is a swinger of
the basketball bat. She also was
a member of the Phi hockey squad.
