l Z Z Q M ,AM lf ll llAllAll X This is the fifteenth Connumach message to a Conernaugh Township graduating class. Fif- teen years is a short time When one looks back. But it seems a long View when one looks ahead. In fifteen years CTHS seniors have faced depression, peace, prosperity, war, inflation, the heady Wine of victory, the sobering reality of cold War and illusion, and a War that is both hot and cold for those who serve in Korea. The present period continues to be one of uncertainty. Some young people, therefore, adopt a philosophy of What is the use? They feel that life is futile-not Worth living, much less Worth planning and preparing for. The story of CTHS alumni refutes this attitude of futility. Those Who planned and Went forth with courage despite apparent gloom have succeeded. We hope you too can face your new life with confidence and faith and peace of soul. Our best Wishes go with you always. TELFORD B. BLOUGH

W X , , f 4 f f , f t! I l Fifteen years ago Conemaugh Township voted consolidation and established its own high school. I was called as its first supervising principal. Many plans and procedures had to be set up to accommodate and educate all of the chil- dren. Transportation, among other problems, became one of the most difficult to handle. Grade buildings of sufficient size and conveniently located were retained for occupancy. The teaching staff, principals, supervisors, and maintenance Workers were placed, and have since been good examples of people Working together for a common cause. We have been blessed with a Will- ing school board to give the program proper support. In a program of education the school is the only agency that represents the Whole com- munity. Thus, the schools here have served, We hope, in a most efficient and helpful Way. Some- one has said, In this country, We pay too rnuch attention to our rights and privileges, and too little to our obligations. Our taxpaying citizens have performed their obligations. It is a demon- stration that one cannot forget. So, after these years as supervising principal, I wish to express my appreciation for these qualities of service from all my co-Workers and associates. And to the entire student body, past and present, I extend my congratulations for their efforts and cooperation, and say farewell. G. W. STEPHENS
