Sagl, a Lincoln native who received a bachelor’s degree in education and a master of arts degree in educational psychology from the University of Nebraska. She joined the Women’s Auxiliary Army Corps (later called the Women’s Army Corps) during World War II. At Fort Des Moines, Iowa, where this picture was taken, she was one of the first women to graduate from officer candidate school, in August 1942. She was a member of the First Regiment, Fourth Company.     Helen Sagl University Archives and Special Collections has a collection of letters Sagl sent her mother in Lincoln about her experiences and feelings during the war. In one, she wrote of recruiting more to join the WAC because “they say if we don’t get enough volunteers, women will be drafted.” She later was stationed in Texas and Arkansas. Sagl is the namesake of scholarships for education majors at UNL and the University of New Mexico. She died in January 1994. In this weekly feature, the Scarlet takes a look back at a moment of UNL’s past through a historical photo, story or short trivia item.
