Laying the cornerstone .... january 14, 1955 FURE ORD When we build, let us think that we build forever. Let it not be for present delight, nor for present use alone. Let it be such work as our de- scendants will thank us for, and let us think, as we lay stone upon stone, that a time is come when those stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched thcni, and that men will say as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, 'Sccl This our fathers did for us,. - - - john Ruskin As we look in retrospect at the past four years, we realize that we have had the priv- ilege of building our lives from an educa- tional program replete with opportunities.

DEDICATION The school is one of the focal points of interest in any community. It is here that the citizen of tomorrow is taught the fundamentals of learning as well as an awareness of his responsibility to his community and nation. With each succeeding generation, the schools have improved, so that the students of today have the advantage of a greatly enriched curricular and extra-curricular program. We are particularly fortunate to live in a community that is intensely interested in the educational development of its youth. The new senior high school will offer greatly increased op- portunities for evolving a more satisfactory life. Although we of the present senior class will have the advantage of attending school in this new building for only a few months, we are exceed- ingly proud to be the first graduating class of the Chambersburg Area Senior High School. It is the underclassmen and the future students of CASHS who will reap the greatest benefits pro- vided by this recent educational expanse. It is to these future graduates that the Senior Class wishes to dedicate this 1955 edition of the Echo. May each of these students utilize to the fullest extent the opportunities provided him. 9
