School Board Message To you, the graduating class, who have trains as your theme for the yearbook, we, the Board of Directors, would suggest a basis upon which a train of thought will carry you as you cast your lot upon society. We would like to offer the following words of encourage- ment to use as a guide in seeking happiness and success throughout your life: . TRUTH RIGHTEOUSNESS AIM INTEGRITY NOBLENESS SINCERITY The truths which are established and those we seek give us a sound foundation for our existence. Being righteous is a virtue, not only in a business sense, but also merits consideration from a family view-point. Your aim should be upon a goal which will lead you over the highways towards the gates of eternity. Your integrity will fortify your courage to press forever onward and upward to the achievement of your ambitions. A noble person has the responsibility of perpetuating the dem- ocratic principles upon which our land was founded. Without sincerity in our hearts, it would be difficult to compre- hend our successful association with others. The fruits of your twelve yea rs of education will manifest them- selves according to your ability to recognize right from wrong. A small train usually runs on a circular track. A super express covers a vast area. The decision rests with you. Which train will you choose? The Board of Directors of the Conewago- Forge Hill Joint School System is hopeful that you are now prepared to make this de- cision. With the expansion program, the integration of school boards, competent administrators, co-operation of parents and teachers, and the help of the Building Authority, our school facilities will be ade- quate to provide the opportunity for those who seek further know- ledge.

NELSON, Principal Manchester Hlgh School Manchester, Pennsylvania Phone 3l3I PRINCIPAL'S M SSAGE Congratulations to you on your graduation from Manchester High School. You are eagerly anticipating the great adventures which are to be yours.... higher education, a vocation, or perhaps a period of time in the service. As you go about these activities you will begin to find a new and greater appreciation of your high school education. It ls true that some doors Will be opened for you by virtue of the fact that you have a diploma. However, the qualities which helped you earn the diploma are the ones which will help you to succeed in your chosen vocation, and not the diploma itself. It is with pride and reluctance that we graduate you from high school. Pride in that we believe that you are well prepared to meet the realities of life---reluctance in that we will miss you. The class of 1955 has become a part of this institution. You have had your influence on it, and in return it has influenced you. And now as a new chapter of your life unfolds before you, may I wish you many opportunities and the wisdom to recognize them as such, and the desire to make full use of them tmffer .Sinead gui!!
