FIRST TIME nulllulur qu-lu-' ii 1? li' ll' ll' .mm mr ffl? Our school system is made up of many members and or- ganizations who have worked hard to make possible the things we have today. It all starts with our school board, consisting of members from Monroeville and Pitcairn, who started the ball rolling for the construction of Gateway. Next, there is Mr. Ramsey, recently retired, and Dr. New- man. They have spent many hours planning with, and advis- ing their co-workers on setting up the school curriculum. We must not forget Mr. Yar- nell, our principal, who has worked dilligently and faith- fully to make our days at Gate- way ones we shall always remember. Last, but by no means least, we have our faculty, which con- sists of a blending of the iinest teachers from surrounding com- munities and colleges.

onroeville-Qitcairn oint Selma! .gjistfzici Qld Wm. Penn Highway and Haymaker Road, Monrocxfille, Perma Phone KlRexel2-5300 ore 5301 June 1959 Dear Students: Gateway Senior High School represents the combined efforts of two communities united with a com on purpose of providing the best education for our youth. The citizens of Monroeville and Pitcairn have provided this magnificant educational structure, founded on the premise that democracy in order to survive and function, must have an educated citizenry modified by the desire to see our youth given greater opportunities to the full potential of their individual ability. Gateway Senior High School would not be a reality today without the cooperation and combined sacrifices of these two communities. The school plant must be considered more than brick, mortar and educational equipment. It is a place purposely designed for effective teaching and efficient learning. It was built and equipped by the citizens of the two communities to house the educational program for the youth, The combining into one student body of the students of Monroeville and Pitcairn of Senior High School age, through the joint plan of reorganization, has made possible the implementation of a full educational program, curricular and extra-curricular, which otherwise would not have been possible. This becomes most significant because the breadth and depth of the educational program holds the key to full educational opportunity for each individual. Gateway Senior High School is a symbol of'the willingness of the citizens of two com unities to work cooperatively to provide expanded and enriched educational opportunities for our children. It is our sincere desire that students who attend Gateway Senior High School will gain the educational strength and wisdom that will enable them to take their respective places in our democratic society and ultimately make their contribution to it. May I take this opportunity to extend my greetings and best wishes to the first graduating class of Gateway Senior High School. Very truly yours, Q .Q fffa,-,i,,,,,,, C. A. Newman Supervising Principal
