From the roof of the High School building can be seen parts or all these communities for it's the geographical center of them. In the picture of Orrville the XVKPA Tower stands almost directly north- wardg the Wfest Penn Power Station lies in the valley to the eastg The Pittsburgh Plate Glass Factory lies southg the Duquesne Light and Power Station lies to the south-westg all of which follow the curving line of the Allegheny River and the Pennsylvania Railroad. Farther down the river can be seen the high bridge of the Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad. just below it will be the new Superhighway bridge. Harmarville with its boney dump can be seen glowing in the night. This is our valley as it is today. The valley of the Allegheny will present a different picture within a few years. New highways will be built to connect with the super-highway cloverleaf about a mile awayg vacant lots will have new homesg paved streets will take the place of Cinder roadsg boats will trade up and down the river as the Allegheny is slack- watered farther up streamg clean streams and rivers will make drinking water and swimming safer and more pleasantg smoke control will prevent the smog and fly ash from being a nuisanceg a new post office will add to the appearance of the 4 Today and Tomorrow main streetg 21 new school building will replace the old School Street School, or perhaps Zl fine new high school building with an auditorium will be addedg Springdale and Cheswick will have its park and luke for recreation. These ure 21 few oi' the things which will eonle to our connnunity of tomorrow. 5 -Our School Springdale High School stands on the brow of the hill over-looking the valley below. It has one of the most beautiful locations in the valley. The pro- perty was purchased from Robert Carson in 1932 and the total cost of the build- ing and land was Sl60,000. The architect was W. J. Steffens who designed the building along modernistic lines. The exterior of the building remains the same but the interior has been changed. The space for the cafeteria is now occupied by the shop, the typing room, and a business practice room. The large study hall has been converted into the home economic department. The end of the first floor hall has been made into an office for Mrs. Hendrickson. Beside those already mentioned are the eight class rooms, the band room, the library, two science rooms, the nurse's office, the principal's office, and the gymnasium. 6 Mr. jacques Looks to the F uture. Administration 7 To the Class of 1950: This year is the half-way mark of the Twentieth Century. We who have lived through the years of the first half have witnessed many changes in our way of livingg from the horse and buggy to jet propulsiong from sulphur and molasses to penicilling from the reaper's cradle to the huge combineg from individual handcrafts to long production lines. As transportation, science, agriculture, and industry have speeded up, so has the tempo of life increased. In little more than three centuries we have grown from a few pilgrims that landed on Plymouth Rock, to the greatest and most powerful nation on earth. This has been achieved through the con- cept that all men are created equal in a land of freedom where free enterprise presents an equal opportunity to allg where each of us may worship God in our own way. In spite of the great develop- ments of the past fifty years, the frontiers of progress have scarcely been penetrated. It is with the greatest confidence in the ability of the class of 1950 that we place in your hands the future of this nation. May the Divine Blessing of God continue to be with you and guide you to the highest pinnacle of success. E. H. Johnston President ol the Board of Education THE BOARD OF EDUCATION ALBERT P.
