(Eiger 3Eily loggmg- ur QTf)eme “'‘Cljt? 3:s tlje .forest Pnmebal” Friends, you are living in the midst of a beautiful and thriving community. The business section is well built up; there are many beautiful homes and surroundings as well as many public beauty spots. The scenery around our little town is all we could possibly expect from Mother Nature. But, Poll Allegany has not always been as it is now. Some industry had to give it a boost, and logging solved the problem. The good ol’ rafting days began in 1882 on Marvin Creek where huge rafts of timber, consisting principally of white pine, were made and floated down the Allegheny River to Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and other points. Since the timber was cut down from the mountain-sides around here, several lumber mills were situated in this vicinity. After the lumber was cut down and made ready, it was usually floated down the river on rafts. Your forefathers who may have been on any of these rafting trips, as they were called, showed extreme grit and courage. Many times, because of rains, they would be soaked to the skin during the entire trip. They were usually forced to walk the distance home; no matter what the weather might have been. On their trips they also encountered many dangers that required such level-headed men as they were to cope with. Let us hope, fellow-classmates, that we may get possession of and retain the same grit and courage within us throughout our lives to help us encounter dangers; perhaps not like those of our forefathers, but equally as perilous. If we do, we can promise ourselves success because it takes such stalwart men and women as our forefathers were to meet modern situations successfully. The logging scenes, presented in this book, are actual pictures taken around Port Allegany many years ago.

She was captain of the girls’ basketball team and does not seem to find it difficult to get along with the boy’s basketball captain.
