W. EDWIN COON Principal To the Boys and Girls of To-day — the Men and Women of To-m.orrow When first you enter this beautiful stately Strong Vincent High School, you are greeted by the Principal and his Assistants; when you leave they are on hand to wish you success. What happens in the meantime is cooperative action between the faculty and you. With them you look between the covers of books, take out the facts and fancies of past and present and make them a part of you. With them you enter more or less into the activities of the school to enrich your own living by doing things with your fellows. Thus books and activities go hand in hand to help you lay a firm foundation for a happy, successful life. May you always be able to say, I have done my best. W. E. COON Mr. Coon A.B. Allegheny M.Ed. University of Pittsburgh Eight

These citizens should have a knov ledge of government, local, state, and national, and know the difference between good govern- ment and bad. The fact that United States History for one year is a reguirement for graduation indicates its importance. With a background of Civics and World History, students obtain general knowledge of our government from United States History. Then with greater knowledge and a wider background, they may proceed to Problems of Democracy and to Economics, which present the problems we are facing today, and give us an insight into the problems of the financial world. The study of history instills in us pride of our heritage, and from it we glean facts and ideas which show us how to improve our own govern- ment. Social Science Ten
