1899 1949 The present high school was started in the spring of 1924 and opened in the fall of 1925. The school board who authorized this was: Austin Taylor, John Ritchie, D. F. Cowan, E. C. Null, F. C. Dell, George S. Hixson, and J. Henry Bair. The new high school was built in the most modern style. It contains a large gym, showers and dressing rooms, auditorium, cafe- teria, library, offices, science laboratory, and modern class rooms. Recently an electric bell system, intercommunication, and pub- lic address system have been added. In 1930 the school was reorganized into a six-year high school. In 1930 the first buses were used for transporting all pupils. The vocational agriculture course was added to the curriculum in 1928, in 1930 the shop course was added and in 1932 the home economics de- partment was also made a part of the high school courses. The graduating class of 1949 has seventy-one members. The total present high school enrollment is five hundred and twenty-five. Today's faculty includes nineteen teachers, a school nurse, school secretary, high school principal and supervising principal. As we look at our high school achievements, we can truly say that East Huntingdon Township is still interested in progressive rural education. Our aim has always been to help our school live up to its motto: Second to None. 4

She's a good school and a sure school, And her vict'1'ies have only begun: For your fairness and fame we will honor y For we love you, East Huntingdon. East Huntingdon, East Huntingdon, East Huntingdon for evermore! You're our dear Township High School, Whose name we will always adore. When we've all gone from our school-days, And our work in the world has begun, We will think of our foster Mother. And days at East Huntingdon. Then we'll know the cause of our vict'ries, And for all of the battles we've won: It's the school of our youth with her honor And we love you East Huntingdon. 6 C. Solomon, E. Bash, N. Suter, .
