Mr. Henry Stoudt Administrative Assistant As seniors you have completed one of the most important steps in your life; namely, that of completing what is considered to be your formal public education. For this achievement you are to be congratulated. In so doing, you have demonstrated that you possess one of the greatest attributes of life: you have shown you have the quality of perseverance. It is my hope you will continue to meet the challenges of life in the future as you have in the past. Never be a quitter, but rather, be courageous and success, I am sure, will be yours to enjoy. My very best wishes go with you always. Henry J. Stoudt Administrative Assistant Assistant Superintendent Commencement speakers generally dwell on the theme that you, as high school graduates, are just beginning your lives and your educational goals. In many ways this is true; however, it is appropriate that you be aware that a very important, if not the most important, rung of this educational ladder has now been attained. During the years since your beginning in school and, yes, even from your advent into this world, your parents and teachers have endeavored to give you the necessary foundationfor a successful life. Please, make the utmost of this firm basis and do not hesitate to call on the school for any assistance in the future. John E. Binney Assistant Superintendent Mr. John Binney

Superintendent H. Ronald Huber, D. Ed. To the Class of 1967: During the founding years of this country Thomas Jefferson made an observation which brought into sharp focus the importance of ed- ucation to a new nation when he said: A country that expects to be ignorant and free, expects what never was and never will be. This statement is as true today as it was 150 years ago. Today, as was never before, the spotlight is on our schools and their graduates. How well you have been educated will be evaluated for many years. We sincerely hope that your future will be bright as a result of your education in the Huntingdon Area Schools. The conqueror is regarded with awe; the business- man commands our respect; but it is only the educated man that wins our affection. Austin J. Donoughe Dr. H. Ronald Huber

Principal Congratulations to the graduating Class of 1967. As professional educators we have done our best to provide the proper edu- ucational experiences for your intellectual and social development. We sincerely hope you have taken full advantage of these opportunities. It is a very naive person who thinks a high school education is satisfactory in today ' s modern technological society. We sincerely hope all members of the Class of 1967 will continue their education by attend- ing college, technical or trade schools, or other institutions that develop saleable occupational skills. Once you have prepared yourself vo- cationally, we hope you will remain in the Huntingdon area and make a valuable contribution to the community. Norman J. Smith Principal Assistant Principal You have successfully achieved one of the major milestones in your young careers. The receipt of a diploma is not the termina- tion of your intellectual growth, but the commencement of your individual contri- bution to life ' s total picture. To you life grants time and space — more than our forefathers ever thought existed. Only you can determine how you will utilize this time and occupy this space. Huntingdon Area has tried to encourage you to use your strength and vigor wisely, to express your freshness and originality, and to employ your vision and determination. You, as the architect of your future, must take these building blocks, and pulling together, make the world a better place in which to live — a more secure world than we of the present gen- eration have presented to you. Robert Scalpello Assistant Principal
