Editor-in-Chief Ioseph Staruch, Business Manager Edith Badorrek, Advertising Manager Melcla Williams, Circulation Manager The Forty-Niners enjoy their Iunior Prom. the big social event of their high school career. Putty-Niners Learn tu Became Citizens I am the Oracle of Ebensburg-Cambria High School. Materially, l'm some leaves of paper, ink, a stiff cover and the work of my staff. I am inanimate but my message is living and my task great. The Forty-Niners have made me as a memorial of four years of learn- ing to become citizens. There is much to be told, in words and in pictures, about the four years that changed them from hesitating, unsure students to those who know the duties of citizenship and are eager to practice them. Schooling has given them knowledge. But these Forty-Niners are the kind of people who will not cease to learn when the flurry and dignity of caps and gowns are over. They have been taught to cooperate and to give their best to the efforts of a group. There have been carefree moments, too, as my pages show, but even in these the Forty-Niners learned to become socially poised, as citizens need to be. lf' ' Q . 3 4 5' '?w. if i Wu 6 l as Q fe 0 .

Stevens, Latin teacher, librarian, program director, originator of journalism classes at Ebensburg-Cambria, and literary adviser of the Cracle. You were always there when we needed advice or help, Mr. Stevens, and we take this opportunity to thank you for all you gave to us above and beyond the call of duty, Varinus Courses Uffered at E. ll. H. S. These scenes depict the daily routine of life at Ebenshurg-Cambria High School. 'llyping class symbolizes the commercial department. Here the student gets thorough training in the fundamental skills and procedure of the busi- ness world. Music is one of the most popular activities, Anyone who isn't tone- deaf is welcome and the sky's the limit to individual or group achievement. Mr. lohnston's office is always open to those who want guidance. advice, or information. This scene is typical of Ehensburg-Cambria science classes. They have in common modern equipment and interested teachers and students. The cafeteria is the important place in the ECHerS' mind when fourth period is over. Here. over nourishing well-planned lunches they meet their friends, talk over the mornings work and make after-school plans. Students La Fnumlatinn fur Future The home economics classes prepare vocational students for home- making. Home Ee is also a required subject for ninth-grade girls. The physical education department has as its goal the development of physical fitness in every student. lts games and calisthenics provide relaxa- tion from class routine and help to teach sportsmanship. The agriculture course teaches the use of improved farming equipment and methods. Through state and county affiliations, it brings recognition to students for projects or abilities. The industrial arts or shop course is designed to educate the student in the fundamentals of mechanical drawing, shop work and carpentry. It prepares many for careers in trades. The academic course begins the education of those who expect to enter professions. English, required for all students, teaches them to read, write, speak, and appreciate their own language. ll lflllllllllflll The Forty-Niners learned to become good cititzens through the help and guidance of their faculty and other supervising heads, They started their high school careers as greenies but when their turn came to graduate and step out into the world, they went with a good knowledge of citizenship. The teachers worked hard and the class of '49 strove to live up to its motto, Today, Not Tomorrow. The different courses, rang- ing from the academic to the home economics. all were instrumental in building better char- acter. The Forty-Niners learned the funda- mentals of mathematics, English, sciences. and languages: but better still they also learned the full meaning of such words as citizenship, cooperation, understanding, and democracy. Their instructors were always willing to help and they worked side by side with the students. The picture of Mr. Ammann and his science class typifies the teacher-student in- terest at E. C. H. S. With these thoughts in mind the Forty-Niners are proud to call Ebens- burg-Cambria their Alma Mater. UN - s, 'f Cf? 1' x i f..

H. fi. llhanqt-is During EU-Year Period Since this is the twentieth year Ebensburg- Cambria High School has been in existence, it is only fitting that honor be given to those who made it what it is. No greater tribute can be given to the school directors, both present and past, than ai review of the history of the school. The first commencement was held in 1929 before the completion ofthe school itself. How- ever, the joint school board was organized in 1927. It consists of five members from libensburg and seven from Cambria Township. ln the fall of 1929 the school was opened for students from Ebensburg and Cambria Township, li. Nl. Iohnston was supervising principal and there were twelve faculty mem- bers, The student body consisted of 252 pu- pils. Now the enrollment reaches 750 with pupils coming not only from Ebensburg and Cambria Township but also from Iackson Township and Prince Gallitzin districts. Ten ln 1930 the library was organized and the cafeteria opened. ln 1931 the first band con- sisting of 12 members was organized by Gor- don Williains, The first Student Council at Ebensburg-Cambria High School was formed in 1934. The next year the commercial de- partment was expanded to include a second teacher. The industrial arts, agriculture, home eco- nomics, and music departments took their places in the growing school in 1936 when the east wing was added. ln 1940 a second addition. the west wing, was added to the building which made room for the art, guidance, and science departments. These improvements show that the patri- otic citizens on the board of education through the years have served in such a way as to pro- vide a school of which the Forty-Niners will always be proud. Special recognition is due to Iohn L. Elder, who has served as president of the board since it was organized. Heads Sehnnl Twn Decades E. M. Iohnston, M. A.

This educator has helped to forin the lives of those who died to preserve the Ameri- can way of life and of those who will carry on that ideal. Through Mr. lohnstoirs efforts the li- brary. cafeteria. art, and music depart- ments, the industrial arts. home economics. commercial. and agriculture courses have de- veloped ancl progressed at E, C.

He is sponsor of Student Council. The Sehnnl nf Temnrrew The American school system is confronted with the primary responsibility of training the youth of today to live in a democratic society. This problem is developed around the training for citizenship and the ability to live, work. and play with other members of our social group. Education for citizenship should permeate the entire school system: it is not enough to practice democratic ideals in the classroom, but it must be exercised throughout the entire life program. There can be no lasting contribution to peace and order unless cooperation with others and respect for others become para- mount. All youths need to develop respect for other persons, to grow in their understanding of democratic principles, and to be able to im- prove the human relations by clarifying and establishing the values through which they partake in class activities and other similar situations. Effective citizenship is based upon certain characteristics inherent in the individual. These characteristics have their beginnings in the home where early habits of sharing, co- operating, and regard for the rights of others are experienced on a cooperative basis, These experiences are brought to school: some to be changed or transformed and others to be modi- fied as their social situations become more complex and adequate comprehension has been developed. It is not enough to know what democracy is but we must develop a zeal for it and ways and means of living it. Good citizenship under our democratic way of life is an absolute necessity if our education system is to make its fullest contribution. These ideals may only be reached with the cooperation of both stu- dent and faculty. May we aspire together to preserve and perfect the ideals which we have inherited from our forefathers. E. M.

Members of the faculty helped them to make important decisions both for the class and individually. The halls and classrooms of Ebensburg-Cambria High School became a part of their lives. They long will cherish memories of the four years spent in school and the friendships they made there. They learned the meaning of the Word cooperation by working together with fellow students. The drawing-up of a constitution. the annual election of officers, the selection of committees-all these gave them practice in the duties of citizenship. On the opposite page are pictured their officers. They are Wiliam Novick, treasurer: Irene Putsakulish, vice president: Thomas Nelson, president ffor his fourth terml: lo Ann Kimball, secretary: and Carolyn Hughes, assistant treasurer. Miss Adelaide Luther was class sponsor. 6 X I I Lois Anderson Richard Anqert Margaret Arndt Edith Badorrek Michael Barrio Thaddeus Bastkowski Shirley Becquet Edward A. Bellas :Av VVilliam H.

Hurry. boys, or you'll he late. No one enters or leaves Ebfensburg-Canv bria High School without participating in the activities of at least one group-his own class. Here the student learns the parliamentary pro- cedure that is a basic part of democratic gov- ernment. He elects his officers and he may be elected. The library with its store of almost 4,000 volumes helps students to learn the whys and hows of things. Like Marjorie George, Martha Seger, Bernice Hartack, Martha Folckemer, Alverda Grata, and Lois Anderson pictured on the opposite page, the students realize that knowledge found in books is useless unless it is put into practice. It is in his class also that the student first gets acquainted with loyalty to a group. Whether he is a freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior, there is no class like his. He takes pride in it, defends it, and works for its ad- vancement. ln all these ways the four classes become the Iabratory of social studies and a training for democratic life.

With the first class meeting Murray Evans was re-elected president for his third year. l'le was assisted by William Gregg, vice president. Their money was entrusted to Ioseph Rubish, treasurer and Mabel Doerr. assistant treasurer. Helen Wizniak recorded the minutes and Tim Roberts and Mai'y Lee Price, reporters, kept their eyes and ears peeled for all news. Ruth Aikman, Sally Apel, Sally Ball, and Eleanor Reese resumed their positions as Student Council representatives. With the will to work they started on their first money-making ven- ture-a bake sale. This was held during teachers' institute. November brought the close of football season with Roland Cavatoni and Tim Roberts earning their letters. For added attraction the junior class had four spirited cheerleaders-Winifred Cotton, Mabel Doerr, Wilma Liv- ingston, and Iune Leary. After the holidays basketball was in full swing with Timothy Roberts, Robert Brown, Iohn Lacey, Walter Sokira, and Richard Englehart as their representatives. The juniors were well represented in the music department. The girls' chorus had the most juniors with 28. The band had 27 juniors. The mixed chorus had 17, and the boys' chorus and orchestra each had ll. Blodwen Burr was the piano accompanist for assembly. ln january the Iuniors began rehearsal for their first dramatics event. 'AWe Shook the Family Tree. It was directed by the dramatics coach, Miss Alice Bartlett. Marian Berkstresser and Ierry james played the leads. February brought the prom. Cinderella and Prince Charming reigned. The juniors also made money by selling the traditional Red Devil pencils. In completing another year they looked forward to being seniors.

Davis was their class adviser and their officers were Charles McHugh, president: Donald Scotilla, vice president: Lois Davis, secretary, and Mary Iane Schneider, treasurer. Lois was also the class historian. Evelyn Hill and Lester Seese served as reporters. Thelma Cassett, Bruce Evans, and Martin Kushner represented the class of '51 on the Student Council. Bruce also did outstanding speech work in forensics and in the I Speak for Democraryn contest. Four Sophomores-Ronnie Dal Bello, Donald Waterhotlse, Edwin Ros- ensteel, and Paul Iensen-were on the Iay-Vee football team. Thomas Myers, Donald Scotilla, Mervin Sunderland, and Robert Boring held down positions on the lay-Vee basketball team. Lynda Evans and Sally Dishart were members of the Iay-Vee cheerleading squad. ln the music department, 12 members of the class of '51 were in band, seven in orchestra, one in boys' chorus, nine in mixed chorus and 32 in girls' chorus. Theodore Gay was in all-county band. lean Evans, Margaret Lack, Gloria Stiles, Margaret Luther, and Tillie Makin made up the Sopho- more Quintet. Ronald Thomas and Iohn Sherman displayed their talents in the pep band. The Sophomore Hop was held in Ianuary. This dance was originated b the class of '51 and will be a tradition of the sophomore classes to come. Tlhe sophomores also had the already traditional annual party of their class in the spring. This marked their last social function as underclassmen. Another sophomore first was a skate on February IO for the benefit of the March of Dimes. Their other skate, profits from which went to their own treasury, was held in November. As for the future, Wait 'til we're upperclassmenl say these sopho- mores.

Freshmen Learn Ways nf I-llma alter The freshmen began their high school career at the traditional special assembly. At that time Mr. Iohnston welcomed them in the name of the stu- dent body and assigned them to the various home rooms. There they received stares, friendly glances, and handbooks. The latter explains the rules, regulations and floor plan of Ebensburg- Cambria High School. Despite this, for those first few days, there was an occasional freshman in Latin IV, chemistry, or typing class. Next on the freshmen agenda was their introduction to Miss Dorothy E. Davis. their class sponsor. She explained that they would not elect class officers until they became better acquainted with each other. The officers they elected later were Steve Bellish, president: Thomas Swope, vice presidentp William Hoover, secretary: Io Anne Skibo, treasurer, and Ioseph Maloney, assistant treasurer. They also elected Ianet Mitchell and Robert Dunegan to represent them on the Student Council. Ianet, the class historian, helped to write the Fresh- man record for the Oracle. The Freshmen were active in the music department. There were 17 in band, nine in the orchestra, eight in the boys' chorus, nine in the mixed chorus and 27 in the girls' chorus. Eleanor Rowland and Susan Watson had the honor of being selected for the county band. Freshman honor students included: Ralph Downey, Iosephine Baldini. Donald Booth, Susan Hresko, Iohn Ambrisco, and Rose Kormanis. Nor did the class of '52 neglect athletics. Five went out for football and eight for basketball. Ioan and Roian Empfield were the first identical twins at Ebensburg- Cambria for several years. ln this, their green year, the freshmen have made acquaintances and friendships with teachers and classmates alike, They look forward to the added subjects and activities of the three coming years. ln that time, they will put into practice the ideals and traditions of their Alma Mater.

Filiy Three lEllV1HfS The Forty-Niners also learned to become citizens through their effort to cooperate in the many activities of the school. The combined activities had an enrollment of more than 800 students. Through their participation in the differ- ent activities the students prepared themselves for better and fuller lives. In the time ahead they will be prepared to face the problems that arise in their various walks of life. Each organization has a definite program as to what is expected from its members. Many join at first just for the fun of it or because their best friend has joined but within a short time they found that its work is not only fun but educational as well. The picture on the opposite page portrays a parasol dance which features the combined talents of Beverly Minnix, Dolores Stiver.

Student Ilnunlzil anaqes Slzhnnl Events The Student Council, the legislative body of Ebensburg-Cambria High School, is composed of 14 members-five seniors, four juniors, three sopho- mores and two freshmen. Each member is nominated by his classmates and is approved by the faculty and the Council officers. The unit is sponsored by Mr. Iohnston. The officers for the past year were Thomas Nelson, president: Eleanor Reese, vice president: Sally Ball, secretary, and Bruce Evans, treasurer. The Council met every Tuesday morning during activity period in Room 208 to carry on its business, The general purpose of the group was to permit the students to participate in the control and management of the various school activities. The group also sponsored the ten-cent programs held in the auditorium. Four programs of this kind were held during the year. The Student Council also cooperated in organizing an activity program for the lunch period. It appointed a committee to study the situation. The program that was adopted included athletics events, dances, and movies. Ar- rangements also were made to provide a study hall and to keep the library open during the lunch period. Fifty Seven Staff nf 99 Wnrks tn Produce UFHEIE To get a job done and done well, cooperation must be the keynote. Pro- ducing this Oracle was a task that required the cooperation of the 99 staff members and two faculty sponsors. There were four staffs, all working toward the finished product. The literary staff headed by Ioan Huber, editor-in-chief, and sponsored by Cyril R. Stevens, had charge of the make-up of the book. The photography in- cluded 32Z pictures, many of which were taken by Pat McKenrick, photog- raphy editor. The senior pictures were taken at the school for the first time. This was a very successful plan and all pictures were taken within a period of two days. The advertising staff and the business staff were combined, with Edith Badorrek and Ioseph Staruch as the respective heads and Mrs. Doris Liphart as faculty advisor. Instead of advertisements the seniors brought in money from patrons. This innovation came about because of the limitation set by the School Board as to how much the book should cost. A few pages of patrons replace the many pages of advertisements for- merly used and this allowed more space for the pictures and write-ups. The circulation staff, headed by Melda Williams, sold a record number of 630 books. The typing staff was selected through the cooperation of the commercial department. These students gave up their spare time and study halls to type the copy prepared by the members of the literary staff. The journalism class edited the book. Cracle Leaders in-chief. Pryce, and Mildred Washick. Another problem has arisen and the Oracle leaders hold a meeting to solve the difficulty. Standing, left to right are Edith Badorrek. advertising manager: Mis Doris Liphart, business advisor: Melda Willianis circulation manager. and Cyril R Stevens literary adviser.

Spirit Infnrms, Handhnnli Aids Students The Spirit and the Handbook are Ebensburg-Cambria's two outstanding publications. The Handbook with Miss Martha Iones as adviser, is a biennial guide to li. C. H. S. Every freshman gets a copy. ln it, school regulations, layout, songs, and cheers are given, along with hints on parliamentary procedure. The Handbook has been an Ebensburg-Cambria institution for more than IO years. The Spirit, sponsored jointly by Miss lanice Sharbaugh and Miss Mary Leposky, is the bi-weekly voice of the students. Work on the Spirit began when the editor distributed assignments on Monday. They were due on the following Monday evening, although the deadline was often held until Tuesday noon. The copy was then taken to the printers. Next the work of proof-reading and make-up began. Tuesday evening after school found the editor in Room 209 equipped with scissors, paste, and the dummy of the Spirit. He decided which articles would begin which page, where they would be cut and where the continuations would be placed. Then the copy was taken to the printers and the rush was over for another week. The Spirit is as old as the school, having offered news and entertain- ment to Ebenshurg-Cambria students for 20 years. lt began as a monthly publication and later it became a bi-weekly. The Spirit was named by the father of a freshman, Richard Rudolph. Iohn Rudolph suggested the name and won a prize. Sixty Forensics qain Bring Hnnnrs ln Sizhnul Ebensburg-Cambria's speakers and musicians brought honor to their school in '48 and '49, Although there was no period for a speech class to meet this year, there was no decline of interest in the speech department. With the announcement of the ul Speak for Democracy contest, sponsored by the Iohnstown Iunior Chamber of Commerce, the department went into action. Those competing were William Berkstresser, Bruce Evans, Evelyn Hill, William Pringle, and Mary Ann Ward. The speeches were given first in assembly as an elimination contest. Bruce Evans took first place and went on to take another first place in the district. He also placed high in the county competition. Interest in forensic activities began to mount after the end of the Christ- mas vacation. Miss Bartlett was in charge of the speech events and Mr. Baumgardner, Mr. McKivigan and Mr. Edelmann assisted her. There were so many trying out that it was necessary to have competition at Ebensburg- Cambria before entering county competition at Southmont. Those who competed in forensic events this year were Mary Ann Ward and William Berkstresser, poetry, William Pringle, Robert Hesse. and Murray Evans, radio speaking: Carol Hoke and Wililam Berkstresser. Shakespeare: Bruce Evans, original oration: William Pryce, extemporeg Bruce Evans, declamation: Lois Davis, essay: and Patrick McKenrick, photography. Forensic results of last year's state contest Were: girls' chorus and mixed chorus, excellent rating: mixed ensemble, good rating and Bruce Evans. discussion, good rating. Those placing second in the county contest were: Constance Sherman, poetry: William Novick, declamation: William Pryce, extempore: William Berkstresser, Shakespeare, and Margaret Lack, soprano solo.

Also taking part in the event were the school orchestra and hand. llramaties Events Brighten Sehnul Year The dramatic highlights of Ebensburg-Cambria's '48-'49 season ranged from class plays to Friday morning assembly programs. The latter gave everybody a chance to try his skill at acting, not only the experienced thespians of the class plays but also the comparative un- knowns. However, with the increasing popularity of the two-year-old draina- tics class, most of those who acted had some special training, These productions also used large crews which some students thought were even more fun than the acting itself. Sound efforts, set, lighting and make-up-all made room for larae groups of students. This work acquainted many with the technical and backstage work of a theatrical production. The Christmas Program, too, made room for many people, lt featured music groups, with the Nativity tableau presented by dramatics students. Many outsiders attended the school assembly programs in addition to the junior and senior class plays, The class plays presented last season were directed by Miss Alice Bartlett, speech and dramatics coach. The seniors gave Ramshackle Inn, a mystery-comedy concerning the adventures of Miss Belinda Pryde, unsuspecting new owner of Ye Olde Colonial Inn. The iuniors' comedy, 'iWe Shook the Family Tree was about Hilde- garde Dolson, who was tired of being a wallflower. Among the best remembered home room programs was that presented by 108 and 104. There was a comedy skit, a solo dance and the graceful umbrella dance. which is pictured in the Oracle. Another home room program featured a comparison of gay nineties and modern etiquette of dances, while still others combined movie and skits or music. Thus dramatics at Ebensburg-Cambria gives every student a chance to develop whatever talents he may have.

In such organizations as county, district, and state bands, orchestras. and choruses the students have opportunities to associate with those from other schools in the state. Many musicians, including the Forty- Niners, have done outstanding work in the forensic league. About 100 girls took part in girls' chorus competition while more than 50 students in the mixed chorus entered the con- test. Both groups ranked very high among schools of the state. As an example of civic participation, some group from the music department plays at almost every school program. The picture of the dance band on the op- posite page shows the interest of some stu- dents in music. They not only practice on their own time but also perform mainly for their own interest and pleasure. This is a feature of good citizenship which the school teaches through music. Large ulnhers Jniri usil: lirnups l.eo Hutiste, a resident of Gil City and a graduate of Indiana State Teachers College. replaced William S. Smathers last December as music instructor. The latter resigned after ll years service at E. C. H. S. The 79-piece band was present at all but two of the football games. The group took part in the Halloween Parade and the Christmas pro- gram. The players highlighted the year with the annual Band Booster Con- cert in the spring. The organization also competed in the forensic league and played for the spring festival, The orchestra, consisting of 38 members, played for the Christmas pro- gram. baccalaureate service, spring festival and the intermissions at the class plays. The mixed chorus of 57 musicians sang sacred music and lighter num- bers for the Christmas program. The singers entered the forensic league and lopped the year with the sacred concert. The dance band is made up of l2 members who practice in their own spare time and play mainly for their own amusement. The pep band, I4 strong, played for a number of school and civic events. Students heard it most often at the assembly programs, pep meetings, and basketball games. The largest music group is the girls' chorus of 103 singers. The musicians entered the forensic league and sang at the spring festival. The boys' chorus consisting of 24 members participated in the music festival, forensic league, and the sacred program. E. C.

Seventy Three 4' lllllfllfg The athletics department helped the Forty- Niners to become citizens with A sound mind in a healthy body as its keynote and goal. Physical education classes taught girls as well as boys to do their best work regardless of ability. Games and sports developed habits of responsibility, quick thinking, and fair play. In both interscholastic and intramural sports, the coaches and physical education teachers helped the students to learn the im- portance of teamwork, of cooperating and of giving their best efforts to a group. Above all, they were taught to value honesty and fair play above honors or victories. These students also had to spend long, weary hours in prac- ticing before the excitement of a big game. The Forty-Niners opposite have exper- ienced all these things. They, like their fellow citizens-to-be, will leave their uniforms, but take with them onto the field of life the things they have gained on the field of play, 5 A ' 1 . ,, 5. 1 l '-A A -pi..

E. lf. H. S. I-lttains Heunrd Year in Sports The '48-'49 sports season brought the high- est record of victories in the school's history. One of the best basketball teams in IO years defeated Iohnstown High for the first time since 1923. The Red Devils placed second in the Moun- tain Conference with 128 points. They lost first place to Ferndale by a 13-12 defeat. The bas- ketball squad finished third in the Tri-County League. McKernan. Doerr, Miller and Sitko made the Iohnstown Tribune All-Star team. Sitko went on to the all-state team. The football players began the season with ten days of football camp near Saxton. Here Iames L. Cook, with assistants Iohn Cassidy and Iohn Gaynor, began building a team around nine returning lettermen. Ebensburg-Cambria opened the football season at the new stadium. The official name of this is Ebensburg-Cambria Memorial Park. lt was built with funds donated by citizens of Ebensburg and Cambria Township. With this sports season it began to be in truth A living memorial to those who served the nation. The school celebrated the end of a good season with a victory parade through Ebens- burg and a free day on November l2. At the special assembly before dismissal cheers were loud and strong for those who had brought honor to the school. Before the pigskin parade was over, prac- tice began for cage games. Sixty, including three lettermen went out for the basketball squad. Mr. Cook began to form the varsity team while Mr. Cassidy was in charge of the lay-Vees. Ebensburq-Cambria again took part in the Tri-County League. A schedule of 12 games with league opponents and tilts with Gallitzin and Cresson made a total of 16 games. When the season closed. the Devils stood third in the league with six victories. Cresson and Gallitzin wins brought the overall score to nine. The '48 track record was not in on the upward trend. Old-timers have called it poor. This may be due to the fact that few ECHerS competed and the school did not enter all the events. Ebensburg-Cambria took second place in the 40 yard dash at the Pitt Center meet and in the Sprint Medleys at Coaches Relay Meet. E.C. H. S. captured third place in the iavelin throw at lunior Pitt, Tri-County, and Coaches Relay Meet: third place in the broad kglmp and in the shot-put at the Iunior Pitt eet.

With those words of their school song, the Forty-Niners bring to a close this record of four eventful years of learning to become citizens. Those years have been eventful not only in traditional af- fairs but also in the new classes and clubs of a growing school. ln the sophomore year of the Forty-Niners, the first speech class was taught by Miss Priscilla Stanton. The next year Miss H. Ioanne Peoples in- stituted a dramatics class here. When they were seniors, the Class of '49 had an opportunity to study journalism under the direction of Cyril R. Stevens. The new organizations at the school included the Art club, the Science club, the Hi-Y club, the Press club, and the Key club. These added more memories to the Forty- Niners' already great store. ln all these groups they have met fellow students and made friendships that are hard to leave. More than that, these activities had a part in preparing the Forty-Niners for life. Acknowledgments Before they end this four-year record of their high-school career, the Forty-Niners wish to thank those who made the Oracle possible. Last in the pages, but by no means last in importance, are the patrons. They made the book possible by their generous donations. l'lenry's Studio of Cresson gave much ad- vice to the staff as well as doing the photog- raphy. The Conemaugh Engraving Company of Iohnstown gave prompt attention to picture orders. Weigel 6 Barber, Inc., of Iohnstown, not only printed the book but also advised the staff on technical points. Ernest M. Iohnston, principal, and the faculty members gave fine cooperation in the production of the Oracle. Eighty Pour Patrons The First National Bank of Ebensburg, Pa.
