An Introduction to Our School We, the Seniors of Ambridge Senior High School, are happy to introduce to you in this edition of the Bridger, our school as a whole —the faculty, the Superintendent and Principals, the School Board, the office staff, and last, but not least, our student body. Our faculty has been instrumental in helping the youth of Ambridge to build for themselves a full and happy life. They have painstakingly taught us theory from our textbooks and advised and counseled us from their own experiences. They have tried to help build our characters and future reputations by showing us excellent examples of their accomplishments and by developing in us a sense of duty, right, and honor. Many times they have been disheartened by their seemingly endless task. But, now that graduation time approaches, they can see the products of their labors. We hope that it is with a pleasant feeling they will recall our present failings in the future. As our class makes its way in the world may we become worthy of their teachings. Our Superintendent and Principals have had a hard time guiding the school through these wartime years. The military services have summoned several members of the faculty and it has been increasingly difficult to replace teachers. Our class has been fortunate to have had the privilege of having an excellent faculty throughout our high school years. The School Board is to be commended on keeping our Junior-Senior High School operating smoothly in spite of curtailed war shortages in labor and supplies. They have had to substitute and make things do. We can thank our School Board for the extremely fine faculty and office staff, for it is the School Board who is responsible for their hire. Our excellent office staff efficiently keeps in order the records and data of the school. In this book we arc presenting to you various phases of school life with which we, the Student Body, have been occupied. And now, as we leave, to face we know not what, we wish to express our appreciation to all those who have been instrumental in helping us through our Senior High School years —the faculty, the Superintendent and Principals, the School Board and the office staff. We feel that because of their guidance we can look to the future undaunted This is our Bridger published by the Senior Class and presented to you as a souvenir record of our class. —MERCEDES URDA
