ix i' i TI-IE RIVER STILL. REILLS The Show Boat was a glamorous but temporary factor in our river scene. More dominant in the life of our town is the river itself. For 128 miles, from the hills of West Virginia, this stream with the strange Indian name leisurely winds its Way past our town on its way to Pittsburgh where it loses its identity in the Ohio River. Onwfncl into the Mississippi, and after a long journey it ends in the warm Waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Thatys our riverg the very one we Can see from our high school. See the boats-- one going upstream, the other downstream. Look at our town-hugging the hiils and flaunting the river as its front yard. Once the life-line of the town, it is still a prominent feature in the lives of our people.
