A 1? Mr, joseph N. Maddocks ALTOONA HIGH SCHOOL ON PARADE Since the Senior High School is the foremost section of the public school parade, naturally it is looked upon with considerable interest on the part of the student and the community. Our students engage in activities and programs that are vital, not only to them as maturing young people, but also as real life activities in the community. In athletics, music, dramatics, and many other areas our stu- dents are contributing much to the life and activity of our community. Communi- ty service attitudes acquired in high school should result in high-minded com- munity citizenship later on. WVe hope our graduates possess an everlasting faith in our American idealsg qualities of industry, character, and personality that will insure successg ambition and courage that is able to surmount all difficultiesg and resourcefulness sufficient to adjust to the ever changing problems of the world of tomorrow. We sincerely hope the Altoona High School has made a deep and lasting impression on every member of this vearis graduating class. Improved citizenship is the measure of our success. It is a pleasure to extend congratulations and good Wishes to the class of 1950. 12

W. SCIILECEL DH. ALBERT G. The theme of the 1950 llorseshoe, Altoona Iligh School on Parade, is a challenge. Viewed from one aspect, life is a continuous parade of persons and events. The progress of this community or of any community is made hy people moving forward together. The progress of communities becomes the progress of the nation. We must, in our modern life. develop leaders and marshals from our groups who will lead the parade in the right direction and at a judicious pace, wisely and firmly toward a successful future. For we cannot he static-we must either march forward or retreat into an already outgrown past. To march together, to follow a trustworthy leader, or to hecome a trustworthy leader--that is our part in the hig parade. During your school life a serious effort was made hy your teachers, adminis- trators, and members of the Board of Education to provide all the necessary train- ing that young people should receive in order to march in this parade of life. It is our sincere hope that your future. in whatever work von may enter, will he a verv successful and happy one. A ' ' class of 1950. C1 in gra tlllilflllllh. . 11
