THE FIRST BL EMO Fomzwonn This 1956 BLUE MOUNTAIN ECI-IOES comes to you with two objectives. First, there is the usual burden of every academy annual to record and picture for the teachers and students the pleasant memories of the many and varied associations and activities of this school year. As a memory book this annual will become more precious with the passing years. Second-and in this respect this book is unique-it must present for the FIRST time the beginnings of East PennsyIvania's FIRST academy, por- traying not only the activities of the FIRST student body but also the early history of this modern School of the Prophets.

MM n DEDICATIGN . I 1'-'S gi, They dreamed, they hoped, they prayed, they sacri- ficed-that the children and youth, nurtured within the borders of their churches, might be sheltered and trained within the protecting walls of a secondary school dedi- cated to the perpetuation of the loftiest ideals and the highest principles of Christian Education. Thus Blue Mountain Academy came into being. And those whose faith performed the Miracle of Blue Mountain included not alone the parents of children, but all the members of the churches-old and young. Seldom has there been witnessed such unity of action on the part of church and conference leadership. The response of all believers to the challenge to arise and buildw has been unparal- leled. In recognition of such a marvelous spirit of de- votion and sacrifice, a grateful school family pledges its consecration and affectionately dedicates to the members of the churches of the East Pennsylvania Con- ference of Seventh-day Adventists, this our first school annual-BLUE MOUNTAIN ECHOES.
