Hail ---- Alma Mater X LIGONIER HIGH SCHOOI ,.... THE BUILDING WHICH we PROUDLY HAIL AS HALMA MATERH, QFor the person who turns the pages of this album of candid snaps, the building, the body which houses the soul called Alma Mater , and the faculty which teaches there will determine largely the position of Ligonier High School. Con- cerning the impression which either will leave on those who see them pictured here we feel that we have nothing to fear and much in which to take pride. Our school building stands today as one of the finest to be found. As a result of the building programs completed in 1932 and 1936, we have a group of thirteen fine classrooms, two of the best equipped and supplied laboratories in the state, a large auditorium with an excellent stage, and a gymnasium whose playing surface is the largest in the county and one of the finest in Western Pennsylvania, and which is equipped with the latest type folding bleachers. The grounds, surrounding the building, are gradually becoming more beautiful. Due to the generosity of the local junior Womans Club a program of beautification which will add greatly to the appearance of the school is to be carried out. There has been some agitation to build tennis courts in the empty space behind the building. When all these movements have been completed, we shall have even greater cause for pride. We believe that both the student body and the citizens of Ligonier and the entire valley are justly proud of the fine faculty which the school board has been fortunate in obtaining. They have many times shown themselves to be interested un- selfishly in the school, the students, and their activities. In his special field, each has something to contribute and this he does wisely and well. Chief tribute to them, we feel, is the gratitude, respect,

Board Plans With Wisdom, Judgment and Vision Qlhere is no limit to the good which can be exerted by a board of lidueation with foresight into the needs, desires and welfare of high school students. Qur Directors ol Education may loolt with pride on their accomplishments, for they have enabled us to reach higher levels of achievement through their active interest and far- rcaehing program, To meet our needs, the members ol' this board have supplied us with the most modern equipment and facilities. just this term they have added many improve- ments to the fine building they have provided for us. Folding bleachers which will seat three hundred and Hfty spectato.s were placed in the gymnasiumg new lockers were purehasedg a water heater was in- stalledg renovations were made in the auditoriumg and new textbooks created lteener interest in many of our classrooms. 'llhis year our school activities have had both thc moral and Gnaneial support of the Board as never before. Realizing that all useful learning is not gained in the school room, they have encouraged the different extra-curricular groups by pro- viding them with necessary equipment and means of traveling so that they could compete with other high schools. ln the classrooms of today are the citizens of tomorrow, just what laind of men or women they will be depends on the training they receive here, The members of our Board of Education have unselfishly devoted much of their own time and re- sources to make certain that this training will be of the best and that our students will be prepared to assume responsibilities in their future lives with every prepara- tion and advantage necessary for success, Left to right: SECRETARY, MRS. lVlAUDE C.
