The Herald VOL. 57, No. 23 The Sewiekley Valley's Home-News Weekly SEWiCKLEY, PENNSYLVANIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1960 IN TWO SECTIONS Price Ten Cent« Class of .I960 Graduated On Tuesday Evening From Q. V. Senior High Members of the Class of I960, seated in front of the stadium seats at the Quaker Valley Junior High School Athletic Field on Tuesday evening, June 7th. A perfect June evening, cool but comfortable; added to the enjoyment of the occasion for seniors, their parents and friends. The stands, which hold * # * # * 148 Seniors Graduate From Quaker High School Perfect June Evening Provides Beautiful Setting For Impressive Ceremonies One hundred and forty-eight seniors received diplomas from "Quaker Valley Senior High School on a perfect June evening in the Junior High School stadium on Tuesday evening. The class was seated in a semi-circle, inside’a white picket fence with flower-bedecked platform for the speakers and the chorus. The Quaker Valley Baiid, resplendent in their new uniforms, played several numbers and the senior chorus sang two Songs. The four students chosen to deliver the commencement addresses, used the general theme of “Building Our School Lives.” They compared the construction of die additions and remodeling of the high school buildings with the growth of curriculum and broadening of their horizons because of the jointure. There were few empty seats in the stands which accommodate 1,200 persons when the class marched to their seats to the strains of “March Processional” by the band, directed by Mr. Helinsld. The Reverend E. D. McKune, pastor of the United Presbyterian Church of Leetsdale, pronounced the invocation and Rqcco Raymond DeMaiolo, vice president of the class, led the flag salute. Paul Skrabut said the architects were responsible for a well made building and the faculty, administration and school board were responsible for well educated citizens. Not only die school board, but the entire community is interested in the education of the students, The building program is the result of years of planning, judging and compromise. The School Board is architect of the school lives of the pupils and also is respon-t ., /or designing a program and facilities to meet the needs. Since public money is spent and some people are reluctant to support the schools, a compromise must be reached between what the students need and what the community can afford. There are many advantages to the jointure; the curriculum is enlarged; there is a social advantage, in meeting students from a wider geographical area and the jointure put emphasis on academic standards, rather than athletics. While his class will not benefit from the new bulld-■ngs, ‘ho expressed'the thanks of 'his classmates and promised that they *° ,d repay the debt owed .the com-being responsible citizens, the band played "Amparito Roca"; Mary Ann Irvine sang «j Heard A forest Praying” and the Senior Chorus sang, “In This Our Time” and “I May Never Pass This Way Again’ between the talks by the students. Doris Brothers accompanied the senior chorus which was directed by Leon Szura. Anne Pearl Kelso spoke of the contractor, who carries out the orders of the architects and solves large and small problems arising -in the construction. The administrators and school board work together as a unit to improve the minds of the pupils by changes in the school curriculum.. She chose to attend the school from Harmony Township and for a long time didn’t realize that the students were former rivals. The leaders worked for a real jointure and didn’t forget in solving evdn the petty problems, that they were working with people. The community is fortunate in having devoted men, who in spite of busy days, still take time to interview, students individually. They look beyond the trifles to their goal of equipping and training students for life. We must build to advance the level of man’s existence, she concluded. Thomas j. Loughran spoke of the workmen, who followed the directions of the contractors in testing the soil, laying tho foundations, erecting the steel, laying the brick and glazing the windows to give the community a strong, useful building. The faculty, administration and Board of Education stimulate the student’s desire to learn, test to see how much ho has absorbed and attempts to develop his talents so that he can take his place in the community.

Forty Graduate From Sewiekley Academy Class of Thirty-Four Receive Diplomas From Sixth Grade on Wednesdáy Forty ninth graders received their Upper School Certificates and thirty-four sixth graders received their Lower School Diplomas at the commencement exercises of Sewiekley Academy on Wednesday morning. The larger classes at the Academy filled the seats on the floor of the auditorium and the seats on the side were not sufficient to seat all the parents and friends who attended. Headmaster Clifford Nichols, Jr., commented, in welcoming the audience, that 50% of this graduating class had been at the Academy since nursery sohool and many more joined at the primary grade level. “So it is with mixed emotions that we realize that they will not be here next year, especially since this was one of the brightest classes in a long time. It had the added distinction of having an undefeated hockey team and a no-hit ball game! The plays and ballet also revealed the talents of this class. The sixth grade will also bring much to the Upper School, both in a good academic record and outstanding athletes. He congratulated the Sixth graders and then introduced the Reverend Samuel Odom, assistant rector of St. Stephen’s, who has already endeared himself to the youth of the community. Reverend Odom said that it is a wonderful experience to come to a community from Dixie find not be a bit homesick. The graduates will also leave a big gap in the youth program at St. Stephen’s. When the U.N. Charter was adopted in ’45 a prayer was said to the effect that "no good tilings come from God unless we-fulfill the conditions of its coming.” Only as you are willing to absorb it, does knowledge supplied by the faculty add to your own knowledge and experience. As you go on to n new school, it will be well to remember that good things come only through struggle and effort. Trying to do it the easy Way is only a Way to fool yourself. Instead, be willing to accept tile challenge and struggle and you will gain tho greater prize. John C. Oliver, Jr,, chairman of the board of trustees, presented the sixth grade diplomas to the following pupils; Manly Eighmy Applegate, Nancy Craig Bennett, Caroline Carey Campbell, Alfred Bowman Chase, Christine Blair Childs, Sarah Brooks Cooke, Henry Fairbanks Devons III, Judith Anno Eaton, Carl Fisher, Barbara Ward Griffin, George Kennedy Caroth-tliers Hayes, Jr., Elizabeth Ramsey Heard, James Henry Higgins III, Cynthia Louise Howard, Pamela Jean Korb, Robert Theodore Lampus, Jr., John Samuel Liggett, Jr., Susie Wallis Mackell, Helen Nash McWhinney, Deborah Means, Charles E.
