This doll has been chosen to speak for the class of nineteen hundred and fifty-five. Her name, Ebbie Cam, is taken from our Alma Mater, Ebensburg-Cambria. She is the spirit of our school and is found in all that We undertake. Wherever she goes, so follows the Class of 1955, leaving behind this yearbook with its memories of our years at ECHS.

To scenes weive learned so much to cherish 'Twill be so hard to say good-bye As those who pledge with us devotion To Ebensburg-Cambria High. Since high school friendships soon will sever And fade as does the dying day, New comrades will our lives enlighten As in the World We Wend our wayg And yet Whatever be lifeis fortune Tho' memory fails, for friends We sigh, We'l1 love thee still, Our Alma Mater, Our Ehenshurg-Cambria High. Five UQ, With greatest respect We, the class of Nineteen Hundred and F ifty-five, dedicate this Oracle to Mr. Donald E. Leffler. There is a tendency to overlook many qualities of one,s teachers during the present, only to realize later in life that these same qualities are those of greatness. However, Mr. Leffler,s character as a man, teacher, and friend is quickly appreciated by the students of Ebensburg-Cambria. He has taught and advised many in their problems in chemistry class. He has been most patient, thoughtful, and helpful as a sponsor, leading us through our senior year at ECHS. We feel that he is a true friend of the students and a typical example of the teacher of today. It is with these thoughts in mind that We dedicate this Oracle to you, Mr. Leffler. As a teacher, Mr. Leffler is always on hand for a friendly chat. Here he and Fay F reidhoff listen intently as Bruno Chiesa tells them about school in his native Italy. Six iii Sz wi ,X H 2 E fb? 2: 3 fbbio, am, F Ebbie Cam knows the great help that Miss Dorothy Davis has been to us during our stay at ECHS. Miss Davis is seen on the opposite page in a familiar role.

As we, the seniors, take leave of ECHS, we pause to pay tribute to the Ebensburg-Cambria Ioint School Board. To this group goes the credit for the over-all management of our school - its maintenance, curricular program, and social functions. The members of the school board give freely of their time and efforts in order that ECHS may maintain its superior rating. Through their constant efforts, our school is kept up to date with the newest educational methods. The board also see through the hiring of our teachers that we have an adequate and competent faculty to guide our secondary education.

The commercial course Was the most popular course with the sophomores. The commercial de- 'zf Q, A W M., p .. partment had sixty-four members of the class enrolled, and the academi'c department Was next in popularity with sixty-two members. Other departments followed with thirty-six members in the industrial arts department, fifteen members in the agriculture department, and ten members in the home economics department. Early in their high school career the class of 1957 selected green and White as their colors and chose Face the Future With a Smile - Alwaysv as their class motto. In taking part in many extracurricular and school activities, the sophomore class lived up to their motto.

Sixty-four 3 This yearis freshman class entered the doors of Ebensburg-Cambria High School on August 30, 1954. This class of 247 members at first was bewildered by the many halls, stairs, and doors in our high school, but as the year closed the students are an intricate part of the curricular and extra curricular activities of the school. On their first day here, Mr. Johnston, following the tradition of our school, gave the freshman class a welcoming speech. The new ECHerS soon had a chance to become acquainted with each other at their first class meeting. The freshman class was well represented in each of the courses offered at Ebensburg-Cambria. There were nearly one hundred freshman students in the academic course, fifty-eight in the commercial department, ten boys in the agri- cultural course, sixty-five boys in the industrial arts course, and all the freshman girls took home economics their first year. Besides being well represented in the various courses at our school, the class of 1958 took an active part in the different clubs and other activities. There were eighteen freshman members in band, thirty-eight in freshman chorus, many fresh- man girls in Tri-Hi-Yis, seventeen in Arts and Crafts Club. Two wrote for the Spirit, and twenty were on the football squaduand seventeen on the basketball team. If the freshmen are as successful during the remaining years at Ebensburg as they were during their first year, we can be proud to say they were students of E C H S. ' The officers of the class of 1958 were busy planning a program for their first year at E C H S. They were: First Row - Mr. DeBastiani and Miss Evans, sponsors, james Kushner, president, Mr. Semyan, sponsor, Barbara James, vice president, Second Row - Barbara Degretta, secretary, Ioan Eisenhower, chaplain, Mr. Gaynor, sponsor, and Barbara Kokel, treasurer.

Shields, Hines, Richardson, Plunnner, Edwards, Sccse, As the football season rolled around, the outlook for a successful year was bright. The football players began the season with two weeks of football camp held at Ebensburg-Cambria High School. At the beginning of the season, Ed Sutilla was appointed captain. He ac- cepted the responsibilities that were placed on him and did an excellent job of pulling the team over some rough spots. Although the team was plagued by injuries, the varsity won six games and lost only three games. The victories were over Conemaugh, Punxsutawney, Cresson, Portage, Westmoiit, and Indiana, and the losses were to Conemaugh Township, Shade Township, and Hollidaysburg. Ferdinand Shields of the Red Devil varsity squad was given the honor of being placed on the Johnstown Tribune-Democrat All-Star Team, and Sutilla and Makin received honorable mention. One thing must be pointed out. Our boys proved themselves a worthy and hard-hitting team even though they were not lucky to win all of their games. This year was one of the roughest schedules the ulled Devilsi' have ever faced. The aRed Devil Junior Varsity team, trained by Coach Bartoletti, won their only game, which was against Portage, by a score of I9 to 7. 1 The Little Red Devils, or freshman team, also deserve credit. The F reshies won all but one of their games. The wins were over Lilly and Nanty Glo, and the loss was to Indiana. The school cannot give credit to just one or two of the players on the teams but must give credit to the whole football squad, team work and cooperation combined gave our school our fine record.

However, because of the large num- ber of students who are transported to ECHS, minor sports are hampered to a great extent. Among the most important of the minor sports is track. Our students have an opportunity to be coached in the pole vault, javelin and discus throw, racing, and other track events. Last spring our boys took part in one track meet in which thev won the relay race. 4 For girls, after school sports included the volleyball and basketball intramural leagues. The school administration and members of the faculty helped to promote A these events in the interest of good sportsmanship and good athletics.
