' The School Board consists of nine men, chosen annually by the patrons . The Board represents all the congregations of the Johnstown District churches . They represent a good cross section of activities, thus bringing together ideals and ideas from these various fields to be used in giving personality to the school . Monthly meetings are held to discuss problems of the school as they are pre- sented by various groups or persons. Financing the school has been a major problem for the Board . Progress has been made in the new addition to the building but many items are undone due to circumstances beyond our control. We do pay tribute to the patrons who have stood by us in meeting the budget. Such a great work as ours ca.nnot prosper with out the wholehearted prayer and financial support of every patron. We are grateful to our faithful, untiring staff of teachers for their high ideals to bring the best to our boys and girls . May the Lord's richest blessings be oursg teachers, board members, and patrons as we join together our prayers and fi- nances to successfully achieve with the Lord the desire of our hearts, a Christian education for our children. 4 This page sponsored by TERRACE CHEVROLET CO.

Sanford G . Shetler Principal Eastern Mennonite College, University of Pitts- burgh, A.B., Cornell University English, Social Studies, Health, Bible, Music Dear Graduating Seniors: You are graduating from a school born of prayer, sacrifice, self-denial, and Christian brotherhood. Your parents have sent you here because they had a spe- cial love for you . They have sacrificed to make this school possible. They have spent many hard-earned dollarsg they have given, freely, hours of labor in co- operative efforts when special projects were in progress . They have prayed that your stay here might make you men and women for God. Your teachers have prayed for you . They have given their time at a very sacrificial rate of pay to give you their best . They have done a conscientious job- have not sacrificed quality for the fact that they were getting less . God has been good to you. He has given into your hand so much of everything He is also going to expect much-- just like your earthly parents . But I believe that you all realize the value of the opportunity you have had. You are, to my think- ing, a very fine group of seniors . You represent the kind of students we like to have go out into life to represent our work here . I am well pleased, and I know Iwill not he disappointed. In Christian love, 6 This page sponsored by PEOPLE'S STATE BANK ' Jennerstown, Pa.
