Mr. jolvmton and Dr. Stu!! cfm! at the Prem Cofwention. lt has been encouraging to see the growth of the student body of the Ebensburg-Cam- bria High School. In years gone by, the enrollment has gradually increased until this school ranks first among the schools of Cambria County. As a result of this increase in the en- rollment, it is impossible to accommodate adequately those who have been scheduled for the school year of I939-1940. There- fore. our Board of Education has been obliged to expand and extend the facilities available so that this congestion might be relieved. The Science Department will occupy the complete third Hoor of the new addition. This department will be equipped with new school furniture, up-to-date in every particular. A modern Art Department will occupy a portion of the second floor. The remainder will be utilized by the regular class room work. lt is financially impos- sible to erect a new gymnasium at this time, but the initial step in this direction has been taken by the construction of show- er rooms, for boys and girls, adjacent to the proposed location of the new gymnas- ium. Eventually the vision of increased health and physical education activities will become a reality. With such fadilities afforded, your suc- cess will depend largely upon your own willingness to work diligently and to co- operate with those in authority. E. M.

Sherman Griliith Recording Secretary-Miss Martha Davis ll Hli Board of Education, composed of twelve members from Ebensburg Borough and Cambria Township, meets the second Wfednesday of every month in the library of our high school. At this time various problems pertaining to the welfare of the students are discussed and passed upon. This year the two important problems of constructing a new addition to our s:hool and of installing a different schedule received the approval of the Board. The new wing is expected to be completed by the opening of the fall term. It will house the Science and Art Departments in addition to eight classrooms and two shower rooms. The wing will give our high school the appearance of a horseshoe, and it is our hope that it will bring to those who pass through its corridors the proverbial good fortune. The schedule is one which has long been awaited. lt will provide the student with a six-period day, dismissal being at two o'clock for those on early schedule. The town peo- ple will have ample time for lunch, and the long wait at noon will be eliminated for those who bring their lunches. Home-room programs and assembly will be held on alternate Fridays, and the activity period will be omitted. However, new additions and new schedules are DOI the least of the Boards worries. livery December they IDLISI reorganize. They must determine the length of the school year, employ teachers, levy taxes, remodel and repair the school building, and adopt courses of study.
