Mc CANN With deep appreciation and respect, we, the Class of 1955, dedicate this volume of the Scot- tie to Mrs. Lilian McCann who is retiring from our faculty this year. Mrs. McCann was born near Dawson in Fayette County. She began her teaching career in 1910 in German Township which is her Alma Mater. Graduated with an A. B. degree from the University of Pittsburgh, she has taken post- graduate work at the University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania State University, and Columbia University. In 1944, she resigned from her teaching posi- tion to serve as assistant to Dean of Women at Dickinson College. She became a member of our faculty in 1945 as Latin and English teacher. As to her plans for the future, she says, In- stitutional work interests me. If the opportunity comes, I shall in all probability accept it. Whatever activities she engages in, we wish her happiness and good fortune. 3

l MESSAGE-OF SUPERINTENDENT PUFF I TO THE CLASS OF 1955. Graduation from high school for some of you will be the foundation upon which to build more specialized training for professional service, but for many it will be the end of formal schooling. Whatever direction your adult life may take, we hope that the lessons learnedin public schoolwill be of great value to you. If it were possible for me to say Some- thing that would make eve ry one of you stop and think seriously, Iwould impress upon you the fact that you will get out of life in pro- portion to what you are willing to work for. This is no new idea. It has been expressed in many ways throughout the centuries of his- tory, but it has to be learned by every person for himself. Some learn it more easily than others, and some fight against it until they are forced to accede to it. This principle is the foundation of success from whatever angle you would be successful. It is the key which will open the door ofopportunity when every- thing else fails. Work is the world's best medicine. Not only is it true that work never hurt anyone, but it is more justly true that work is good for people. Work is the builder of muscle and sinew. It is the foundation of confidence and self-respect. It is the eliminator of boredom and ennui. Life is an opportunity. You can make of it just what you will. And if you would make of yours a good life, I can wish for you no greater blessing than work - hard, tiring work - but exhilarating and glorious in its accomplishment. With all good wishes, MESSAGE OF PRINCIPAL RONCO TO THE CLASS OF 1955 Young men and women of the Class of 1955, we who have exchanged experiences with you throughout the educative period of your youth wish you Godspeed. May the goals you have set for yourselves be within your horizon, and in seeking these goals, may you constantly keep before you the challenging reminder to be your best selves always. Sincerest wishes for your well-being, 4
