And Now A Chat With OUR PRINCIPAL The four years that you have been in high school have been abnormal ones. The effects of war have been felt to a greater or less degree by each of you. Heavy problems involving the whole world must be solved within the next few years. You cannot escape playing your part even if you try. lf I were to leave any message to you, it would be that you study my generation carefully and sift out the mistakes We have made. Knowing them, you should have the courage to do things differently. We must win this war, the peace, and the economic reconversion. Somehow, We must come to realize that wars and de- pressions are rackets thrust upon the masses. For these you must help find the answer. Yours will be a great and IVKI-NIV TWO exciting age to live in. There is no doubt in my mind that you will do your duty. Finally, make an effort to visit and revisit your .-Xlma Mater. Perhaps this will be the test if you have found happi- ness and anything of worth here. You may be assured of a warm welcome. You have my best wishes for your future success and happiness. R. F.

,Q f SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS RALPH L. BUSH GEORGE W. HAVENS A. RAY KYLER JOHN M. SMUCKER PRESIDENT VICE PRESIDENT' SECRETARY DR. WILLIAM B. WEST FRED B. BAYER SAMUEL R. SHINGLER BUILDERS OF OUR EDUCATION The Board of Education of Hunting- don High School is the legislative body of our school system. The members of this organization are the citizens who work behind the scenes for the advance- ment of education in this area. As we went through Huntingdon High School, we watched the physical plant change in size and in appearance. We saw a beautiful athletic field rise from a swamp, and the walls of our class- rooms and gymnasium change to a bright appearance from the usual drab color. These are only a few things which the Board of Education has done for the students of our school. Despite the teacher shortage and the deficiency of classroom material, this group has secured a capable roster of instructors and a wealth of text books to guide our study. Through the efforts of their Presi- dent, Dr. William B. West, the advice of their attorney, Mr. W. B. Simpson, and the co-operation of the Adminis- tration, the board members have done everything in their power to step up the athletic program, enlarge the educa- tional set-up, and provide recreation for the students. just as they have understood our problems and have helped us to prepare for them, we are fully cognizant and appreciative of their efforts.
