Notes:

Schrag described his experience at Denison, his first CPS assignment, as follows:

The man who was running the CPS camp was looking for someone to manage the books.  Since I had taken a bookkeeping class in high school, I became the bookkeeper.  I was one of few boys there with much education.  There were Amish and Old Mennonites who had very little schooling.  . . . It was while I was in Denison that the December 7 bombing of Pearl Harbor occurred.  Morale got really low at that time because we knew then that we were in for the duration of the war.
