lit P oxewo new i ln preparing this Argus, the class of 1947 has selected as a theme Historic Huntingdon. Each scene for the division pages has been carefully chosen because it best represents the locale of our early background and achievement. Huntingdon is rich in historic legend and tradition. The familiar scenes depicted are as follows: Standing Stone, representing the true and hardy spirit of the founders of Huntingdon, Jack's Narrows, scene of many council fires where wise chieftains gathered to plan for the welfare of the tribes, Echo Glen, which marked the Happy Hunting Grounds of many famous warriors, Flagpole Hill, a monument to the mighty warriors whose manly achievements are part of our legendary heritage, and finally, the beautiful blue Juniata River, symbolizing in its flowing, the progress of athletic achievement from year to year. All of these familiar and beloved scenes represent to us the background of our daily lives. Thus we hope that this book, which links the historic past with the living present, may help the reader to keep in mind the achievements of the class of 1947 when it has become a part of legendary Huntingdon High School. Long ago, t'was the tradition, That ancestral thirst for vengeance, Heated hearts, and stern defiance- All would fade away and perish, With the smoking of the peace pipe, The Pukwana--of the peace pipe. Warriors young and young the maidens, Striving for keen minds and bodies, Now, must see and heed the peace pipe, Work and play in perfect concord, Bury all their warlike weapons, Thus go on and live in concord.
