Youth-A Great Constructive Force Youth represents the most con- structive force in society. Upon youth and their response to the fu- ture depends the preservation of our ideals of living. They are the citizens of tomorrow. , The Altoona High School and every other high school throughout our nation is in the spotlight, for it is our solemn responsibility to help our youth prepare for the place they rightfully will assume in the home and in the community. Our high school is dedicated to this task, and we are constantly seek- ing better educational techniques, better patterns of educational expe- rience that will prepare our students more effectively for the problems of everyday living. Our staff is well trained to assist our students in the maturing of per- sonality through a carefully con- trolled educational experience. We trust the Altoona High School has succeeded in making a deep and lasting impression upon each and every member of this splendid class. JOSEPH N. MADDOCKS Page Fourteen

PAUL A. ZETLER .M ur ssistant rincipal The Spotlight-On Student and Alumnus The spotlight of our community is on the Altoona High School but its beam is focused on every individual connected with our school--on stu- dent and alumnus alike. It is on the efforts and actions of each of us. Through these efforts and actions the reputation of our school is made. The light from the spotlight is never directly on the school. The school is lighted by the reflection of the spot- light from each of our lives. Only as We have learned to live worthy lives can the Altoona High School be prop- erly illuminated. The Class of 1948 has reflected much light on the school. May your future labors continue to make the Altoona High School stand out among all schools as an example of all that is tinest and best in education. THE HORSESHOE OF 1948 PageF'iftec'n
