California State Teachers College Pennsylvania State University University of Pittsburgh Administration Superintendent's Message Youth is the most valuable time of life. This is the time of preparation, the strengthening of one’s resources and the establishment of ambitions which lead one on to the richest possible service in later life. Youth is a period which we can- not afford to neglect. The best place for youth, therefore, is in school. There is no investment which pays so large a return as an education. The door to Democracy is unlocked by education. Of all our great American institutions, none so well illus- trates the meaning of democracy as does our public school system. Also, everybody in the community has a personal stake in the future of his home and his homeland. The school children of today are the adult citizens of tomorrow. What they learn, how they learn, and their environment while they learn will determine the kind of world they will build on the structure we have reared for them. German Township Schools aim to train you in democratic ways of living. If you cultivate loyalty to your school, you will be loyal citizens to your township, commonwealth, and nation. D. J. MORRIS—Clerk to the Hoard of Education Principal Message The task of guiding the faculty and student body is a tremendous undertaking with very little thanks and appreciation. Yet, there is a certain amount of self- satisfaction in doing a job well. The philosophy of our school has been the training of the mind along intellectu- al lines and while giving that training to include a worthwhile program of extra curricular activities, both social and ath- letic. The administration sincerely hopes the lessons which you have learned in school will be of great value in solving life’s many complex problems. High School Principal GEORGE J.

When the key to the Senior Class was presented to us last year, we resolved to carry out the duties and privi- leges which were entrusted to us. And now, we, in turn as graduating seniors, would like to pass on these high traditions of scholarship, citizenship, fellowship, and many others too numerous to mention, to the class of 1957. We ask that these traditions, which have endured so long, and which we have tried to fulfill to the best of our ability, continue to flourish under those who will follow us, and that they exist as long as German Township High itself.

High School newspaper was known as the “Microscope.” It was printed once a six weeks period. Later Mr. Hartley, now Dr. Hartley, dentist in Uniontown, was the news- paper sponsor. That is when the paper became known as the “German Hi News.” Since 1945 Mr. Hrivnak has been the newspaper sponsor and for about 12 years the paper has been printed by the Little Printing Co. of Uniontown. Six issues a year are still printed with the feature issues being the Christmas and Senior edi- tions. The newspaper is pri- marily supported through advertising from the various local business establish- ments and through the pur- chases of the student body.

Mem- bership is open to all four classes. These girls must be willing to donate their serv- ices to the students in the library for at least one peri- od each day. The success with which the library serves the needs of the stu- dent body depends to a large extent upon its li- brarians. The girls must know books and other li- brary materials, and know- how to select, organize, and interpret them. Librarians stimulate and guide stu- dents in their reading. The Library Club Tea, an annual affair, is held in the library during the Christmas season.
