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
