He had been the treasurer of the Fredonia Normal Art Club (Fredonia Normal was the name of the college up until WW2) in 1934, so clearly his education had been interrupted by the war. (Or perhaps he was certified as a teacher without the Bachelor's degree? Article below this one says he'd been teaching for 29 years which is probably not exactly accurate due to the interruption of the war.)
