I-l Message Frnm The Supervising Principal Great emphasis is being placed upon the extension of education to include every individual from the kindergarten to adulthood. Glaring needs were revealed during the war for both physical and educational emphasis in developing a cultured class. It is impossible for individuals or regions to live inde- pendently, but all are greatly affected by his neighbors throughout the country.

Hnaril nf Education BOARD MEMBERS Borough Iohn Elder Dr. F. K. Owens Thomas Swope William Anderson Harry Englehart Township Frank Erhard, President Frank Lagana George Kormanis Dino De Yulis Victor Bobetich Roy Empfield George Davis Education in its broadest meaning has reference to the development of all the powers of man. ln the restricted sense, in which the term is ordinarily used, it means the training of children, youth, and adults in educational in- stitutions. In the broadest application of the term, educa- tion extends throughout life: man learns as he lives. In its restricted application it is confined to the school age, which is usually the years from six to twenty-five. Through education one learns to read and write and do mathematical problemsg he also learns the laws of this and other nations. Even more than all of these put together, students are taught to live together in close harmony with others. In the school of yesterday all learning was out of books or taught by lecturers. Now there are many ways of learn- ing. The present day schools are equipped with many varied machines so that the scholars may learn through actual experience in whatever field they are especially in- terested. The modern pupil has a textbook, yes: but more than that, he has modern methods of teaching which make learning more interesting. The Board of Education of Ebensburg-Cambria High School helped shape the students' education, maintain their school property, and helped them solve their problems. Each member strived to meet all of the students' needs. This board consisted of five members from Ebensburg Borough and seven from Cambria Township. The seniors of 1950 are indeed grateful to these men. Their efforts in promoting education have resulted in a higher standard for Ebensburg-Cambria High School.
