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

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.
