SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE Congratulations to the Class of 1960. We are proud of your achievements in Johnstown High School and wish you every success in your future careers. If I were to offer just one bit of advice to the graduating class, it would be this: Do just a little bit more than you think is expected of you. This applies to those of you who are going on to institutions of higher learning, to the ones who will be entering the business world, and to those who will be becoming homemakers. In college you will find that devoting the same amount of time to your studies that you have been accustomed to spending in high school will probably not be enough. You are older, you are more mat- ure, and the colleges require a higher degree of application than can be expected of younger persons. When business firms find fault with high school graduates it is usually because the individuals they employ are not sincerely interested in doing the best work of which they are capable. The valuable employee and the one who climbs to the top is the one who has the habit of doing more than he thinks is necessary to hold his job. To the graduates who will become homemakers in the near future the same principle applies. The successful homemaker and the one whose family life will be the most rewarding is the one who gives more than he expects. Each of you will find many opportunities for becoming important and valuable members of our society. We are confident that you will make the most of these opportunities. Eugene F. Conant Superintendent of Schools

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE It has certainly given me real pleasure to have nad the opportunity of meeting and working with the members of the Class of 1960. From observation and from a study of your scholastic achievement it is reasonable to predict that many of you have the potential to make real contributions to society. The pan which each plays in the future will depend to a great extent upon his desire to be of service to others. It is sometimes said that life is like a game of tennis - the player who doesn't serve well usually loses in the end. In recent years, while attending reunions of Johnstown High School classes, it has been very interest- ing to learn of the achievements which members of the classes have made in various fields of endeavor; and this class will, without any doubt, carry on the traditions which have characterized previous classes. The scholastic and extra-curricular history of your Alma Mater will be richer by the roles which mem- bers of the Class of 1960 have played during their school careers. The members of the faculty trust that from their instruction and guidance, you will be better equipped to take the next step in your chosen walk of life, and their interest in you will always continue. Their best wishes are extended to you. William A. Wright Principal 7
