n 1985, the Lock
University yearbook
experienced a
metamorphosis. Praeco
had a one-year name
change to Aeries, and a
publication surrounded
by controversy came off
the presses. It was in
that year that 371 copies
of the yearbook were
printed, but only 154
were distributed.
Students had paid $19.75
for the publication, but
many never received
their copies. In spite of
the contention
surrounding Aeries, the
publication leaves us
with a glance of student
life in 1985. Since many
did not see the yearbook,
this issue of Perspective
will provide a glance at
its content...

ccasionally in this life, we are blessed with the
opportunity to encounter an individual who becom es s
dear a companion and friend that he or she can actually'
change the focus of our lives. In 1986, Gertrude Paulhamus h,
such an encounter. Working in Bucktail Medical Center's
extended care unit as a volunteer, she offered her time as a
reader to an elderly woman with failing eyesight. That woma
Clara Clendenen, ' 13, went on to impact Gertrude's life in the
most unforgettable way possible. She became her teacher ant
friend and so filled her days that Gertrude would visit her daily
just to be near her new mentor.
The story of Clara Clendenen is filled with unusual twists and
turns. It is the story of a family so devoted to its patriarch that
each of the five Clendenen sisters made sacrifices and altered
the path that their lives would take so that they could continue tl
love and cherish their "Papa." To Lock Haven University, the
Clendenen name has special significance. Upon her death on
April 4, 1996, Clara left a bequest to the University which will
benefit many other young men and women with preference to
those enrolled in English and residing in the western part of
Clinton County, especially Noyes Township. Clara was the last
sister to survive, living to the age of 101. In 1983 her sister
Bertha, '17, passed away, establishing a trust of which Clara
was a life beneficiary. Bertha's trust provided that when Clara
died, one-half of the trust funds would go to the Lock Haven
The Clendenens University Foundation, or approximately $75,000. When Clara
by A. Viola CampbeLL died, she left one-half of the residue of her estate to the
Foundation, approximately $145,000. Both gifts are to be used for
scholarships.
