The faculty MR. HERTENSTEIN It might well be said of Mr. flertenstein that he has lived, and is living, ‘the abundant life.’ A review of his past years reveals--a happy boyhood, a liberal education, a successful marriage, varied experiences, widespread interests. His philosophy, a profound faith in the future, is a natural sequence. Mr. Hertenstein’s birthplace was in San Jose, California and there he enjoyed carefree years, engaging in all the mischief and pranks of any American boy. Later he moved to Azusa--the famous little town so named because it ‘has everything from A to Z in the U. S. A.’ His high school years were spent in the Citrus Union High School where he was interested in athletics, especially track. His specialty was the 440-yard dash. After graduation from high school in 1915, Mr. Hertenstein spent one year at the Citrus Junior College. This year of preparation was followed by a transfer to Northwestern University where he majored in science and mathematics. In 1921 he received the degree of Bachelor of Science, and in the succeeding year he earned his Master’s degree. His ability in the scientific field was recognized by election to Sigma Xi--an honorary society in science. While at Northwestern University war interrupted Mr. Hertenstein's college life, as it did so many other college men of that time. He joined the Marine Corps and was in service for a year during which time he spent ten months in France. In 1922 Mr. Hertenstein married Edith Robinson, a very lovely person, who has won many friends in the short time that she has been in Watkins Glen. Soon after his marriage Mr. Herten- stein became affiliated with the Calumet Chemical Company of Joliet, Illinois and was with that company for the next two years. It was at the end of his stay with the Calumet Company that he turned to the field of education and, it would appear, found his real interest and life’s work. Mr. Hertenstein’s first experience as an educator was in the Waterloo High School where he held the position of vice principal. This was followed by the principa1ship of the Fillmore High School. During his stay at Fillmore, Mr. Hertenstein was for four years President of the Allegheny County Athletic Association. His next move was to the principalship at Wayland, and it was from Wayland that he was appointed to his present position at Watkins Glen High School. During his stay at Waterloo and Wayland he sought to increase his effectiveness as a school man by taking advantage of extension courses at Syracuse University and the University of Rochester. Although his school is his chief concern and keeps him pretty well occupied, Mr. Hertenstein has not lost his outside interests. When asked about his hobbies he replied, ‘Numismatics’ and ‘Philately,’ or in other words, as he went on to explain--much to the relief of the writer--the science of coins and metals, and stamp collecting. Mr. Hertenstein is an active member of the community, being affiliated with the American Legion, the V. F. W., the Masons, the Methodist Church, and the Rotary Club. While he enjoys his hobbies and his membership in social and civic organizations, Mr. Hertenstein says his greatest satisfaction lies in watching the successes of former students who have entered the professions, ‘many of whom, he says, ‘are making a real success.’ He hasn’t lost faith in young people and he went on to predict that ‘the coming generation is facing and will face the present crisis better than some of the adults.’ These words of encouragement and faith are typical of Mr. Hertenstein whose dynamic personality and enthusiastic outlook are certain, we are convinced, to influence strongly the lives of the boys and girls of Watkins Glen High School. 8
