ALMA MATER Faithful and true-hearted, Let us cheer our dear old High, We revere her and defend her, and her colors proudly fly: We will stand for her united, Of her deeds we gladly tell, Her colors streaming, Glad faces beaming, So here's a cheer for her that we all love so well. Chorus J oyous and ever loyal, Let us boost for our old High, Let ev'ry heart sing, Let ev'ry voice ring, There's no time to grieve or sigh. It's ever onward, our course pursuing, May defeat ne'er our ardor cool, But, united, We will boost for her, our Old High School. II Honors she has taken, On the track and with the ball, May she always rank the highest, May her colors never fall. There's no other that can match her, When her team is on the field, Her boys the fleetest, Her girls the sweetest, Then here's a cheer for her, for her who ne'er will yield. SCHOOL HISTORY The Hill School, which is located on North College Street, was erected as a result of the consolidation of the early limestone schools. The community library and the Hill School served as our educational institutions until the erection of our present high school. Architect, Edward Z. Scholl, and contractor, Andrew J. Fink, built our high school in 1915. The members of the first board of directors were Dr. D. U. Wolff, George Uhrich, Ephriam Bleistein, John Schoener, and Harry Line. We have had the following principals: J. J. Strahl, Ralph Davenport, Chester Hartzler, Henry Hollinger, Walter Richter, John Auld, and presently Harvey L. Nitrauer. Engravings on the cornerstones of our school are: Education is the cornerstone of success, and Wisdom is the birth of freedom.

DEDICATION To Miss Kathryn Dech, we the Senior Class of '59 dedicate our annual year- book, the Myrialog. Miss Dech has given to many pupils of our student body a finer appreciation of music, chiefly in the vocal field. Beginning in Junior High School she made it possible for many of us to use our leisure time and vocal talent wisely. Re- hearsals of all musical groups Cnot forgetting the operettal, in preparation for spring concerts, occupied most of her time-not mentioning the extra hours that followed. In addition to this, her German classes also kept her in contact with other students of the school. For her helpful instruction, patience and humor we gratefully thank her.
