Innovation Architectonically and spiritually, Abington students entered a new era in the education of the townshipis citizens on September 6, l956. The massive brick building standing above Highland Avenue awed most who saw it for the first time. At first inspection it appeared a great accu- mulation of lines and angles traced by brick, but a closer look revealed that it was much more than this. With the arrival of the student body it became a vibrant entity with an extensive tradition and a promising future. ln this building appeared the ulti- mate in educational facilities. Abing- Kfw ..

Yet, we were unable to accept the hy- pothesis which presupposes that a building is the main factor in the process of learning. We, the Senior Class of 1957, are both the begin- ning and the end of an educational era in Abington. We are the first to be graduated from Abingtonis new home and the last to have spent a major part of our high school life in the tradition haunted halls of old Abington. It has been our task to lead the adaption of steel and brick into a beloved alma mater. This task has been both pleasurable and chal- lenging. At the opening of the New Abington High School our faculty had increased by one-half while the student body had increased by one- third. New students came to join our ranks from places so close as Philadelphia and so far as Berlin, Germany, in the person of Bernhard Mahner, our exchange student.
