PROGRESS WITH Television is one of the most marvelous of man's inventions. It can vastly expand the horizons of human knowledge, of education, and of understanding among peoples of the world. For many centuries man had dreamed of the day when he would be able to sec a picture of events taking place hundreds of miles away. With the start of the twentieth century, men began to follow the progress of radio and to wonder if it could serve to transmit “sight” as well as sound. The combination of sight” with sound offers an ap| cal that far surpasses anything that could be realized from sound alone. To sec the radio program as well as hear it brings us the ultimate — Television. With this wonderful development, one of the greatest strides had been made in the art of radio. It is interesting to reflect that over ninety per cent of what we learn is through the ability to see. There is no doubt that most of the wonderful uses to which 7elevision will be put are yet to be realized.

DEDICATION We the class of 1958 sincerely dedicate this edition of the Acanom to Mr. Phillip H. Petrie, who has been our friend for all of our twelve years of school. We will al- ways remember him for his sincere help and patient understanding. Whenever he was called on, he was never too busy to lend a helping hand and a sympathetic car. He is also admired by all for his keen sense of humor. He came to Monaca in 1928 and served as Supervising Principal of Moon Township School, which is now the fourth and fifth ward, un- til 1931. In 1931 he became the element- ary superintendent and held this position till 1935 when he became Supervising Principal of the Mon- aca Area Schools, from which he retired this year.
