Female Mailman Likes Job, But
Looks for Return of Male Mailman
One of the many changes which
World War II has brought about
is a female taking the place of a
m-a-l-e-man on Edinboro campus.
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

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. In her own r1
words, “The job is a lot of fun,
but it’s swell that the fellows are
back and soon we’ll have a real it
m-a-l-e-carrier.”

Female Mailman Likes Job, But
Looks for Return of Male Mailman
One of the many changes which
World War II has brought about
is a female taking the place of a
m-a-l-e-man on Edinboro campus.
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.

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 [

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. In her own r1
words, “The job is a lot of fun,
but it’s swell that the fellows are
back and soon we’ll have a real it
