JUtof 3 ame PENN-BERNVILLE SCHOOL BOARD Seated: Mrs. Mae R. Streaker, secretary; Clarence W. Mengcl, president; Edwin I. Showers, treasurer Standing: George S. Rcppcrt; Walter A. Rohrbach, principal; Raymond E. Mohn, vice-president; and Rev. Frank W. Ruth The purpose of this Board is to meet the the many privileges and opportunities made needs of the Penn-Bernville Center. We wish available to us at our school, to express our thanks and appreciation for To the Class of 1955: When you asked for my contribution to the 1955 PENN- ANT, my first thought was that the time is fast approaching when you will cherish one of an American's most prized posses- sions, a High School Diploma. It is not only a certificate of accomplishment or a stepping stone to future achievement but also a priceless heritage symbolizing America’s faith in free public education as a foundation of our way of life. Many changes have taken place in your high school since you entered in seventh grade. That was my first year as your principal and also the first year for the new Penn-Bernville Union District. It is a part of the larger Tulpehocken Joint System. You have seen the erection of a new elementary build- ing. And an extensive modernization of the high school build- ing. You have experienced the beginning of new courses and subjects so that your school has now qualified for re-classification by the Department of Public Instruction as a six-year junior- senior high school. You have learned to know and work with quite a number of new instructors. Thus your high school experiences have reflected constantly changing conditions in the world all around us. You have learned, as all of us must, to live and work in this changing world. Congratulations on your 1955 PENNANT. This volume seems to be a symbol of your motto, “Our Aim—Success, Our Hope—To Win”. For the faculty, the directors, and myself I want to say that we, too, hope you will win. Principal MRS. VIVIAN GERHART, Script Writer Working behind the scenes to fill our every need is Mrs. Vivian P. Ger- hart, Mr. Rohrbach’s very capable secretary. We arc deeply indebted to her for all the little ‘niceties’ she has done for us. Seven
