Principal You, the Seniors of Conemaugh Township High School, Class of 1958, will find immeasurable opportu- nities and challenging responsibilities awaiting you upon graduation. For the past twelve years your efforts have been di- rected toward this high school event. Your school pro- gram has been changing continually from one year to the next. New experiences and increasing responsibili- ties have been offered in your curricula in an effort to make you more competent. As young citizens, you should seek to understand our modern civilization with intelligent reasoning. Your ideas must be flexible so that you may keep pace with a changing world. Concurrent with flexible ideas are sound ideals by which you must pattern your daily living.

Supervising Principal Dr. Telford B. Blough June 26, 1939, Conemaugh Township High School graduated its first class of 70 members. Since that time over 2,000 CTI-IS students have joined the growing alumni group. The Class of 1958 is the twentieth class to receive diplomas, a distinction worthy of special commemoration. Those of us who were a part of that first year at Cone- maugh Township recall the beginnings with pride as well as nostalgia. Mud, crowded rooms, and a general lack of funds and instructional and extra-curricular materials sometimes handicapped our efforts. But high purpose and a sense of mission for the young folks of this community marked the dedicated eforts of citizens board members, faculty and students. In 1938-39 CTI-IS was the largest rural consolidated high school in Penn- sylvania, and our building was one of the most beautiful. Out of the debris of the depression good educational foundations were built. In this twentieth year we glance back to honor those who helped us on our way, but we hasten to join the Board of Directors in planning better things for the future-new buildings for the elementary children, ad- ditions to the high school, and a better educational pro- gram for all. In these efforts we ask you to join us even as we wish you Godspeed when you bravely step into the future. D Telford B.

George Tempest, School Secretary The daily routine of these eflicient people has helped to create the well-adjusted program which the students of Conemaugh Township High School know so well. Without them our school would be missing some of its greatest assets. Their advice, willingness to help, Lucy Cortese, Secretary to Dr. Blough and sincerity will be remem- bered by all who have prof- ited from it. After a confer- ence with these enthusiastic advisors, students view the problems of life with a hap- pier and better balanced outlook. We, the Class of '58, wish to thank them for their able assistance. Katherine Foster, School Nurse James Spory, Elementary Supervisor
