Freshman Rides To Classes
Via Wheel Chair Express
Jack Paffrath, his wheel chair, and his “chauffeur,” never miss a
trick.
They make every class on their schedule, turn up at pep rallies,
football games, church, song sessions, coke dates—just about every
where a freshman enrolled at the College could possibly be.
The professors are thinking of them as a modern Damon and
Pythias. To the students, how
ever, they’re Ned and Jack—
“two good guys.”
Except for one thing they’re
dead ringers for all the other 1500
newly-enrolled freshmen green
dinked, enthusiastic, quick with
the wisecracks, and occasionally
bewildered by the sprawling cam
pus and mobs of students
The. difference- is Jack’s wheel
chair. The son of Mr. and Mrs.
John P. Paffrath, 1224 Fifth Ave.,
Ford City, he was stricken with in
fantile paralysis at the age of sev
en- .
A success at Ford City High
'School (fye was in numerous acti
vities, graduated 16th in a class
of 121, and reported sports for the
Pittsburgh 'Press' and Sun-Tele
grapli) Jack was determined to
come to Penn State to study elec
trical engineering.
His father paid a visit to Deari
of Men Arthur R. Wamock, who
while sympathetic, discouraged
the idea because of the hilly cam
pus and scattered buildings.
Then the Dean met Jack who
gave him a big grin and said,
“Don’t worry. I’ll get by.” And
now Dean Warnock, who is not a
betting man, offers to stack some
“good money” on Jack’s chances
of making out in college.
Ned MoNerney, his chauffeur
buddy, looks like the kids you see
on the covers of boys’ magazines
—freckled-faced, friendly, and
fresh in the teen-age American
way. His widowed mother and
nine-year-old sister live at 46 West
Corydon. St., Bradford.
The boys discovered each other
when Jack got from the College a
list of other freshmen planning
to study electrical engineering who
would have the same class sche
dule as he.
He wrote to Ned and they made
a deal whereby Ned would take
Jack, via the chair, about town
and campus. ■ .
