As a bridge in a real sense, serves to by-pass obstacles, span chasma, connect regions, etc., so a student's career in high school may also be said to serve. A student who utilizes his high school environment fully will be able to continue to fill gaps in his education to make worth-while choices to func- tion as a contributing member of society. Though nature acci- dentally created the first crude bridge when lightning felled a tree across a stream, modern bridges are all complex, manmade structures serving a variety of needs. Bridges have become in- creasingly complex in response to the ever-changing patterns of our cultural environment. Our schools have changed in a comparable way. No longer will the open-air school of Socrates or the one room school of early America serve the needs of the twentieth century. Expanding populations and challenging technology have made necessary vast school systems which will provide many and varied oppor- tunities to its students. Every new school year gives evidence of the change through expanded and revised program offerings. Thus, our own high school, constantly changing in response to the demands of society, is serving as our bridge to the future -a future in which we shall continue to forge ahead to success because we have successfully bridged the gaps in our lives.

The sophomore year presents a first small, but important, bridge that must be crossed. Just as the seemingly small Hazel Kirk Bridge is important, the sopho- more year serves. This year may be the first step up the ladder of success in high school life. The sophomores begin to adiust to the daily routines in school, they busily plan many activities and new experiences they hope to embrace. Overcoming the con- fusions and frustrations of this year aid each sophomore in adjusting to the de- mands ofthe school and community. This year, at first seemingly insignificant, bridges a maior gap in the sopho- more's education as he strides forward to meet the problems of his future. 0 illii OPHOIVIORE CLASS OFFICERS Left to right-J.

We may compare it to the larger bridges as it becomes more complex and serves a greater need. ln this year the students gain a closer familiarity with the school and its faculty, its aims and its purposes. This can be an extremely active year as many students plan and work for the annual prom, choose class rings, sell magazines, and attend conferences and conventions related to school activities. Now the students plan more definitely for their future work. lf a iunior bridges this year with worth-while activities, he has taken a significant forward step in his life. -V 'v JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Left to right: R.

This complicated senior year may very well be compared to a highly com- plex bridge system, since both are serving many needs. ln this year we gain a fuller realization of the importance of education and the real aims and obiectives ofthe school. When we, as seniors, step forward to receive our diplomas, we shall have taken our final step across this complex bridge into the world of opportunity, we should now be prepared to cross more complex bridges as they arise before us.

Martin ATIO AL HO OR SOCIETY The members of the National Honor Society are known by the pins they wear. The National Honor Society is an organization which is open to all high school students who have at least a 3.3 average between the time of the sophomore year and the middle of the iunior year. At the Greater Monongahela Area High School, mem- bers are chosen on the basis of scholarship, leadership, citizenship, service, and character. A group of teachers, selected by the principal, evaluate the students as to their participation in the extracurricular activities of the school. Some of the things considered are: offices in clubs and homerooms, student council membership, dramatics work. l . Journalism activities are a vital and necessary function of the Greater Monongahela Area High School. The iournalism class edits a yearbook, the Flame, a magazine, the Torch, and a newspaper, The Red and White Review. Through these quality publications, school life and activities are related to the student body and community. The formula needed in publishing a yearbook is complex. lt is a situation which takes not only diligence but also co-operation, the co-operation of the whole staff-editors, writers, typists, business managers, and photographers. it is a long-range task with many extra hours work. As each person completes his task, it is the editor's iob to co-ordinate and complete the proiect. That the wise men may hear and increase in knowledge, is the motto of The Red and White Review, which is published monthly by the school newspaper staff. The staff strives to print news concerning the student body, faculty, and administration interestingly and accurately. The Red and White Review serves as a means for the student body to express its opinions on any matter pertaining to school life through a Letter to the Editor column and various public-opinion polls. Through its publication, the newspaper staff hopes to arouse in each student a deeper apprecia- tion of his school life and to promote throughout the school and community an aroused school spirit. To encourage creative writing, the iournalism class annually sponsors a magazine, the Torch. This proiect provides an opportunity for each high school student to participate in iournalism activi- ties. The student writes because he has something significant to say. He writes with the knowl- edge that his words will be read, not only by his elders but also by members of his peer group. Journalism is training in democracy for successful living, today and in the future. As a repre- sentative of the journalism class, the student is placed into direct contact with the active world that he knows and understands. Through his publications activities, he becomes a moving, vital force in his microcosm. He learns to observe critically, to inquire, to narrate. The iournalist learns habits of industry and tact. As a member of a team working toward a common goal, he learns to subordinate his personal interests to those of the group. He learns to co-operate and to serve for the ioy of serving. ln an unending battle with deadlines, he learns to meet obstacles and to overcome them. The iournalist acquires habits, attitudes, and skills necessary to a successful life in today's rapidly changing world. Kathy Thropp, Assistant Editor ISenior Editor!

Linaburg SENIOR I-IOOPSTERS The basketball team of the Greater Monongahela Area High School completed this season with a record of 5 wins and 16 losses. This mediocre record was due, in part, to a lack of ex- perienced players, but a primary factor appeared to be lack of height. The Cats ended the exhibition slate with a 4-4 record, but in league play, where their op- ponents were taller and more experienced, the Cats were 1-12.
