Gannon A to Z: D is for Doc Wehrle
From 1933 to 1956, Msgr. Joseph J. “Doc” Wehrle served as Gannon’s first president. He played an integral role in the university’s advancement, putting in hard work and overcoming immense challenges to make Gannon the place it is today.
During his time as president, the school acquired the Strong Mansion, now known as Old Main. It also received its own charter – separate from the one it originally shared with Villa Maria – as a four-year men’s institution and changed its name from Cathedral College to Gannon College.
Wehrle Hall, the freshman residence located on West Sixth Street, is named in honor of Doc Wehrle, whose devotion to Gannon and love for the students is fondly remembered.
Gannon A to Z: C is for compass

High School Happenings: Collegiate Academy hits the runway for prom
Brooke Latimer, a High School Happenings contributor, tells us about Collegiate Academy’s annual Prom Fashion Show:
Collegiate Academy’s annual Prom Fashion Show will take place during fourth period classes on April 20. It is open to junior and senior students, just like prom itself, and all the models are senior couples. The show is a chance for both guys and girls to show off their prom getup. Many choose to recycle last year’s evening attire, while others use the show as a preview of what they are wearing for the big night, which is May 18.

Locking myself in to study — literally
It’s no secret that I’m kind of nerdy. I’m relatively smart, interested in science fiction and theatre, and I read all the Harry Potter books. Yet even with all my inherent nerdiness, I managed to achieve a new level of nerddom.
I got locked in the library.
