UNIVI-:RSITY or PITTSBURGH FRANKLIN AND IIARSHALL COLULIBIA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE Wle owe much to the efforts of our Supervising Principal, ltlr. W. H. ltlclllhattan and High School Principal, ltlr. VV. E. Griffith and the able School Board, which includes: ltlr. Charles Ifhl, Dr. C. C. Barchfield, hir. John T.'Fike, ltlrs. Ernest V. Cook, ltlr. Frank R. Coder and Mr. James L. Poorbaugh, who set this project before the eyes of the towns- people who immediately saw the need and advantage of such an institu- tion. ltlr. Uhl and lNIr. Coder have been replaced by ltlr. H. S. VVolfers- berger and hir. Poorbaugh, who are on the present School Board. ltlr. Blclllhattan caIIIe here three years ago and in that time has accomplished 1IIucl1 to benefit our Junior-Senior high school. He is a valuable and esteemed addition to the community of Somerset. ltlr. Griffith has been with this institution for many years and is an indispensable part of us. llr. Griffith became the high school principal four years ago, and with his and ltilr. 1IcIllhattan,s efforts combined it was a necessary outcome to have this remarkable school. ' . Thus it is that we have such a school as Somerset High School is today. We, the Class of '32, wish to express our gratitude to the administration, the faculty, the school board, the townspeople, who gave us these splendid facilities to prepare ourselvesbfor later life. As a class, we have taken advantage of these opportunities. During that part of our life which we have spent in high school? we have seen many innovations. The library, auditorium, gymnasium, and vocational departments have rendered us in- calculable service. It is our most sincere desire that this high standard, which we have seen achieved, may be maintained and even elevated for the future students of Somerset High School. 7 Ek..-

Q D Departments If it be true that studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability, Somerset High School seeks to achieve all these ob jectives. The cultural subjects, those for delight, are to be found in the departments of social science, English, foreign languages, and tl1e abstract sciences. Oft time the next group overlaps the first yet adds the departments of art and music. In the last group are the physical and natural sciences, commercial studies, the practical arts, vocational agriculture, and physical training. Thus we learn to live in the world about us, effi- ciently, wisely and entertainingly. 0 D
