Mr. Norman J. Smith and Mr. Jack Meloy Education is a drawing out; it is not a cramming in. A good education can lead one to the discovery of ideas, to the shaping of present hopes, and to the recognition of mean- ing in life. It plays a major role in helping one to begin his search for unselfish self- fulfillment. The Board of Education, representing the entire area served by Huntingdon Area High School, strives to pro dde the conditions and the facilities that will assure this kind of edu- cation for boys and girls. By recognizing and maintaining high scholastic and social stand- ards, this group of men and women have fostered in students an awareness of the im- portance of education. We, the Class of 1966, gratefully thank these men and women for the time and sincere efforts that they have given in the interest of Huntingdon Area High School students.

r— Principal We, the Class of 1966, are indeed fortunate to have been acquainted with Mr. Norman J. Smith. Mr. Smith was beginning his first year as principal at Huntingdon when our class entered H.A.H.S. as freshmen. Throughout the past four years, his help has been invaluable to us. Mr. Smith has shown his interest in students ' well-being by efficiently managing the affairs of the high school, but his attendance at student activities, and his willingness to help us with our problems have demonstrated a deeper, more personal concern. We say a sincere thank-you to Mr. Smith for being a fine administrator and a true friend to the, Class of 1966. » — ' J - ) — ; f ■ i i 3 - -5 1 J 2 ii :5 -1 ■« . - -I r Jissistant Principal For the past three years, Mr. Robert Scalpello has capably served as assistant high school principal. Mr. Scalpello has played an essential part in directing the complex operation of our high school. He is in charge of attendance, supervises student discipline, and in many other ways assists the principal in managing the activities of our school. The Class of 1966 gives many thanks to Mr. Scalpello for his outstanding service to Huntingdon Area High School and his help and guidance to us as stu- dents.

Quidance Counselors Huntingdon Area High School students are fortunate to have two very fine guidance counselors to help them with academic, social, and personal problems. Mr. James Jackson and Mr. John Wy land are always ready to provide encouragement and to give professional advice to anyone who feels that ' he should talk to someone. Every student meets with a counselor at least once each year, and many who realize the benefits of the counselors ' advice become frequent visitors at the guidance office. However, student interviews and con- ferences are only a part of the important duties which these men perform. Adminis- tering tests, scheduling students for academic and vocational training, and providing infor- mation to students concerning aptitudes and special interests require muchof their atten- tion and time. The Class of 1966 gives a special salute to the guidance counselors who have con- scientiously helped us to prepare ourselves for a rewarding future. Mr. Jackson Mr. Wyland AdmiHistratiiie Assistant Mr. Henry Stoudt serves as Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent of Schools. In this position, it is essential to be cognizant of the federal and state programs through which funds to further education can be obtained for our local schools. Mr. Stoudt is also chairman of the History and Social Studies Department and a former president of the Pennsylvania State Education Association. The Class of 1966 wishes to express its appreciation to Mr. Stoudt for his untiring efforts in helping individual students, in guiding and teaching in the classroom, in gaining prestige for our school through his state office, and in securing the much needed financial assistance to further our education.
