t, . fm. ,. A MESSAGE FROM OUR SUPEBINTENDENT OF SCI-IOGLS . To the Class of 1950: I am very glad to avail myself of this oppor- tunity to convey my greetings and best wishes to the class of 1950. I have watched classes graduate from the Ford City High School since 1929, when fifty pupils were graduated, until the class of 1950 with its one hundred thirty- seven members. ' In looking into the mirror. of the past, with particular attention being given to the last two decades, I find we have had all the elements that go to make a good school system-a splendid student body, a well-trained and sympathetic faculty, secretaries, engineers, and custodians that were faithful and efficient, and a school board that is and has been anxious to provide the best educational opportunities possible for the young men and women of this community. Through the mist of the years certain events are still discernible. I see the organization of the Jr.-Sr. High School in 1929 with its shops, its home economics department, its guidance and its full time librarian . . . the presentation of the trophy case by the class of 1930, on January 2, 1930 . . . the dedication of the new gymnasium on December 14, 1934 . . . the two hundred tons of scrap iron gathered by the students and piled on the school lawn during the fall of 1942 as their contribution to winning the war . . . the dedication of the memorial plaque on which is inscribed the names of twenty-seven of our graduates who made the supreme sacrifice that truth and right might prevail. All these things I see reflected in the mirror of the past! What of the future? Ford City High School will continue to serve the youth of the future iust as she has served the youth of the past. Pupils will continue to be graduated, of whom we shall be proud. No doubt there will be consolidation with certain of our neighboring school districts which will be mutually advan- tageous. Members of the Class of 1950, I congratulate you and wish you success. Q. G. VINCENT Superintendent of Schools
