j6'LClfLAg Brockway ranks high. We have a group of well-qualified people guiding our students. Many faculty members have either received advanced educational degrees or are now work- ing toward that goal. Equally important and paralleling the regu- lar classroom work are many opportunities for friendly advice, vocational counseling, social training, stimulating good sportsmanship, and inspiring discouraged students. No teacher overlooks these aspects of school life. Sincerely interested in the welfare of the student body, each instructor willingly gives of both time and effort to promote the development of wells rounded individuals through curricular and extrafcurricular activities. Much of the improve- ment in our school has been due to the sincere unselfish attitude of our faculty. 1 Upper right: Mathematics and Science--Miss Longwell, Miss Shaffer, Mr. Pinge.

These two groups have been working together for the past twelve years in an effort to bring a variety of educational opportunities to the youth who at- tend school in this community. The present day school consolidation move- ment was presaged twelve years ago by the action of our school boards. The Brockway- Snyder Ioint Schools are always on the alert to adopt new and approved methods of school management. Board members serve without compensation and in so doing, exemplify citi- .yn Memoriam Dr. H. E Kilgus served as a member of Brockway-Snyder joint School zenship at its best.

After gradua- tion, he entered the practice of medicine and later transferred to the busi- ness field, managing the Kaul Clay Plant in Toronto, Ohio and then estab- lishing the Brockway Clay Company. Dr. Kilgus was well known throughout the Commonwealth as a phy- sician, sportsman, industrialist and educator. ln later years, he took an active interest in religious and community affairs. He became associated with a number of projects which were consummated in school betterment. His last big effort was to lead a movement to raise funds to equip the high school marching band with uniforms and other instrumentation. This or- ganization is now known, by many, as the outstanding musical body in this section of the state. Through his active interest in athletics, the football squad, many times, was the recipient of his bountiful generosity. Serving as President of both the Brockway Board and the Ioint Board, many notable educational achievements came about as a result of his leadership. The Home Economics Department was reorganized and re- constructed, giving unusual advantages to those enrolled in this curricu- lum. A number of major projects for the advancement of education in this community were in the making as his life came to a close. The students of this high school wish to mark his passing by paying this tribute to his memory. Dr. H. E. Kilgus healer, teacher and friend.
