E MEMBERS of the yearbook staff have chosen certain schools of contemporary art as the basis for our annual of 1950. In this book you will find what we hope to be faithful repre- sentations of such abstract art forms as sur- realism and cubism, We cannot easily tell you what each of these words means since they were probably names invented in some cheap cate in Paris over the second bottle of Tokay with an eye fixed on a not-too-receptive public. But we do know that the artists such as Dale and Bracque are mem- bers of that group which broke away from convention and expressed itself in a new way. These people achieved their new effects be- cause they were first-rate craftsmen and they had no further need for mere technique. They did not paint life as it was seen by others, but rather they painted as they interpreted it and felt it to be. Try to understand them, because they are revealing glimpses of the world you now are making. The graduating class of 1950 has been sub- jected to the mill. They have learned tech- niques and methods. They, too, shall become master craftsmen able to rise above the tech- nical details. In time, it is hoped, they will even rise far enough to build an atomic world which is safe for all society - a world complete and secure in its existence.

Mr. Forrest C. lobes Mr. Medill Bair Mr. A. VanWagenen Top: Mr. Forrest C. lobes, though very busy as a company executive, still finds time to serve as an able president ot the School Board. Middle: Mr. Medill- Bair attacks the job of regional superintendent with enthusiasm and industry. Below: Mr. VanWagenen, also an executive, untiringly acts as president ot the Parent-Teacher Association. HE THREE MEN pictured on this page represent the three groups involved in providing this area with a school system that is fast taking the lead in Bucks County. Chief of these groups is the School Board, the work of which this year has consisted principally in spending time, effort, and money trying to work through red tape connected with building a new school. Fortunately, the end seems in sight and Pennsbury can hope very shortly to occupy new quarters. Working just as hard is the school administrative body, charged with the bettering of instruction as well as the smooth, eiticient running of the school. This year in-service training under Dr. S. Butterweck, of Temple University, and special workshop days were provided for teachers in aiding them to set up a curriculum to meet Pennsbury's needs. In addition, outstanding co- ordination among all schools and personnel groups was maintained. Three cheers for these excellent leaders. Exceptional mention must be made of the third body, the Parent-Teacher Association which has accom- plished much. Among their worthwhile enterprises have been the awarding of two scholarships, the pro- viding of a banquet for top-ranking students, the re- organizing ot bus routes, and the instituting of study groups to help parents to understand children's prob- lems. Who can believe that this group has only been in existence two years? Pennsbury is surely fortunate in having such inter- ested adults working for its welfare! This symbolic and abstract painting depicts the artist's conception of the faculty Represented by mature iull-grown branches, the teachers plant their knowledge in the minds of students symbolized in the form of a young sapling. In addition to knowledge instructors impart guidance and understanding. The latter contributions are embodied in the form of leaves
