Dedication OLUMJiS and volumes have been written fur a country, a person, or a cause, but no dedication could be more significant than this one to the people of Ambridge. Their contributing influence has been a deciding factor in placing our school in the high position it enjoys today. We will be eternally indebted to the pioneers who founded our town and its many diversified industries. If it were not for their toil and that of the thousands that followed them, our town would not have developed and neither would our school system. One of the greatest accomplishments of our forefathers is our school system. Continuously supported by the townspeople, it has paid rich dividends in better understanding between races, closer cooperation in civic activities, and in teaching good citizenship. The interest of the citizens of Ambridge has made possible the athletics, the student publications, and the host of forensic and dramatic work, which we have the privilege of taking part in. The first lessons of democracy, which are often used in later life, are taught in the classrooms. A good education is the best gift that any community can offer to its youth. This book is merely an outline of that school and its achievements; each page is dedicated to its contributors the people of Ambridge. f
