renewed) While we read history, we make history.” —Curtis The theme of the Corrian of 1939 is the “Development of the City of Corry.” Throughout the book the reader will find references to the growth of Corry—a little glimpse into the past history of our city. Corry, Pennsylvania owes its growth to being adopted as the junction point of the Philadelphia and Trie, the Atlantic and the Great Western, the Oil Creek and Cross Cut Railroads. In 1861 a group of shanties sprang up and was known as the Atlantic and Trie Junction. In this same year a piece of land was purchased from Hiram Corry (Cory) and in view of his liberal dealings, the road superintendent—Mr. Hill—changed the name of the station to Corry. Situated fourteen hundred thirty-one feet above sea level, Corry’s climate is excellent. Fine drinking water, closeness to main thorough fares, beautiful scenery, and several good manufacturing plants make Corry an ideal place to live. With these facts in mind, it is easy to visualize the growth and progress of our city in the future.

ST An HESS ACC We, the Corrian Staff, are presenting this book with the purpose in mind of recording and preserving as completely as possible the events of the school year of 1938-39. We hope in the years to come you will look again within this Corrian and find food for thoughts and memories. If you find as much pleasure in reading this book as we have had in making it. we, the Staff, shall be satisfied. The theme of our book is the history of our city. In this city of Corry, generations of honest, stalwart citizens have lived—citizens who have done much to establish the age of progress which we live in and enjoy. Typical city that it is—the study of the history of Corry parallels the steps in the growth of the nation. For these reasons we choose the history of the City of Corry as our theme.
