BUARD OF EDUCATIUN Last fall, the Kittanning area schools under- took the task of ioining to form the Kittanning Area Secondary School System. Participating districts in this iointure are: Applewold Borough, East Franklin Township, Kittanning Borough, North Buftalo Township, Rayburn Township, Val- ley Township, and West Kittanning Borough. This iointure has a school board of 37 mem- mers. For various reasons, this board meets regularly twice a year-once in December tor re- organization and again in February to adopt the budget. When necessary, special meetings may be called. In addition to the school board, an operating committee has been formed which meets at least once a month. This committee is made up of one representative from each district. The su- perintendent of schools and the secretary also attend the meetings. In the above picture of this committee, E. R.

Mr. Duncan Mr. Blose Miss Lidstone Mr. Stottlemeyer N APPRECIATIO Every class looks to its advisors for guidance. We appre- ciate their sacrifice of many valuable hours for our welfare, their kindness and understanding of our problems as a class and as individuals. Without their encouragement, we would find it hard to successfully complete our high school career. Here we wish to extend our appreciation to our advisors: Mr. Blose, Miss Lidstone, Mr. Stottlemeyer, and Mr. Duncan for everything they have done for us. Mrs. Wise, who is no longer on the faculty, was an advisor of the Class of '53 for three years. 7

PRINCIPAL FORREST R. SCHAEFFER, B. S., M. A. Members of the Class of I953: You have completed one phase of your education, you will be called upon to take your places as thinking adult citizens of your community, state, and nation. As this occurs, you will be called upon to shoulder the respon- sibilities of adults who have been given the opportunity of an education, you will be ex- pected to contribute to all the efforts of the area in which you may live. You will be ex- pected to apply those principles with which you have been instructed throughout your high school career and to evidence them in your actions and your respect for the rights and privileges of other individuals. This responsibility is particularly heavy in a world in which all too often the dignity and worth of an individual has been ignored. The Class of 1953 has a high duty to preserve our heritage and to make of themselves all that is possible throughout the years to come. Merely to move with the tide is insufficient. It is necessary to sacrifice and to work diligently in order to fulfill the obligations of a respon- sible citizen. Forrest R. Schaeffer ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL WADE C. HALL, B. 5., M. A. To the Class of 1953: The duty of the teachers and administra- tors in Kittanning High School is to awaken young people to the fact that a wealth of help to a successful future is theirs in exchange for their interest and application. This wealth of help does not cease with graduation-neither must your interest and application. Attach yourself to a star-a high one, but don't over- look imminent values by over concentration on that star. Concentration on your obiective is good, but it should not prevent you from gath- ering what good things there are growing along that steep, rugged path which leads to success. Wade C. Hall 9
