Kittanning High School - Kit Han Ne Yearbook (Kittanning, PA)

Page 28 text:

Foreword To commemorate our dgolden anniversary, the staff of the Kit-han-ne here includes the intro uction to the original yearbook as a frozen mo- ment in time. Nestling cosily in the lap of the verdant foothills of the Alleghenies, on the banks of the placid river, is the beautiful, little city which holds so many dear associations for us all. However mediocre and unprepossessing it may appear in the eyes of the stranger, we, who call it home, can preceive the mellow beauty and distinctive personality of the charming old town-Kittanning. Like many towns in this vicinity, Kittanning is of Indian origin. The name, contrary to a prevalent idea that it is de- rived from an Indian word meaning cornfield, is a preversion of Kit ban-ne, meaning at or on the main stream, hence the town on the main stream. A few arrow heads and tomahawks are unearthed now and then in the town and its precincts, significant reminders of the days when three Indian tribes lived where our bustling little city stands and of the turbulent days that followed the white manis appearance in the fertile valley of the Allegheny. We name this book Kit-han-ne in the hope that it may recall to your minds the wild romantic tales of Indian horrors, and pioneer courage and fortitude, and that it may inspire you with an ever greater love for old Kittanning and for our Alma Mater-K.
