if in ff' Thx w x ..4 N. vii l X JOSEPH N. MADDOCKS Principal We are living in a world that is on the march. The present generation seems determined to set up a whole new scheme of things. Throughout the world there is a sense of aspiration. Mankind is in quest of a fuller and better life. lt is not easy to live in such a World. We are not sure that change will mean advancement. The question therefore arises: How can we live successfully in such a world, and how can we play our part so that the world of tomorrow will be a better world and change will be improvement? To youth falls the challenge. The opportunity and the need for making worthwhile civic contributions has never been greater. Now is the time to make adequate preparation for meeting the many problems which will soon face you as voting citizens in our great democracy.

LEVI GILBERT, ED. D. Superintendent of Schools lt is interesting to know that the threads of the theme, Vision, are found running through this yearbook. Would that this yearbook were an open window. Would we want to look? Our anticipation, our vision through the misty future, will be brightened because of the successful activities of this class and the individual members of this class. Our hope is based on the fact that the members of this class represent a select group of American youths. We like to look at them as courageous, fearless, unselfish, capable and eager to find the best place in life for their service. A strong faith in the youth of today drives away the mists of doubt and helps all of us to see a better Altoona, a better America, because the Class of l911-O caught the vision of success in the Altoona High School.

PAUL A. ZETLER Assistant Principal The members of the Class of 1940 are going out of the Altoona High School, going out to follow their visions-visions of a future Where they shall continue the Work of their predecessors in our American democracyg visions of a future Where they shall make life a little more enjoyable for their community, more satisfactory for all because of their Work. May the vision of the members of this class be a vision of service and of a more abundant life for themselves and others. Each in his own Way and in his own place can find pleasure in his memory of what has been and follow his vision of what might be.
