He attended Montrose High School during the years 1905 and 1906. He is engaged in banking in Montrose, which has been his home for twenty-one years. Mr. Charles L. VanScoten, the treasurer, was born in Auburn township. He was graduated from Montrose High School in 1900, and attended Dickinson Law School from 1903 to 1905. He was admitted to the Bar in 1907. Mr. VanScoten has been a resident of Montrose for thirty-two years. Dr. Warren W. Preston was born at Hallstead, Pa. He attend- ed school in Hallstead during the years 1885 to 1897. He was grad- uated from Bloomsburg Normal School in 1899 and from Hahnemann Medical College in 1907. He is a resident of Montrose, where he has practiced medicine for nineteen years. In their busy walks of life live men, a lawyer, a doctor, a mer- chant and two bankers iind time to devote to the cause of Education. With the exception of a nominal sum received by the secretary their services are wholly without pay. They are subjected to much criticism which cannot help but sting and bite, yet they must remain good-natur- ed. Every morning and noon about six hundred people, whether to learn the first principles of number work,', or to delve into the mys- teries of Virgil, or kindred tasks, enter these portals of learning and find within heat, light, cleanliness, competent teachers, and material with which to work. All this we owe to the School Board. ' . In our day even greater things have been accomplished by these men. They have made it possible for us to have new class rooms with abundant light and necessary equipment, a fine building with a two- fold purpose,-a gymnasium in which to play and practice athletic games, and an auditorium whore plays, debates and social functions are held,-also showers, conductive to health, for those who participate in the games. Though the School Board visits us officially only about once a year, through these things their invisible influence is felt every day. It will undoubtedly be many years before another class will en- joy the distinction of being the first to be graduated from a new addi- tion to the buildingg we owe this honor, at least in part, to these five men, Mr. C. F. Pross, Mr. Charles VV. Kittle, Mr. Charles L. VanScoten, Mr. A. J. VVheaton and Dr. Warren W. Preston. The class of '26 is indeed proud if in dedicating this volume to them we show in any de- gree our appreciation for all they have done to enable us to achieve our goal. -EDITOR. 8
