New Feature for Spring 2006: Class Photos Online

Did you know that the Gallitzin Tunnels Museum & Park features many of the original Gallitzin High School photo posters between 1937 and 1961? You can now view these same portraits online!

	President’s Message Being president of the Gallitzin Area Alumni Association offers me the great pleasure to relate to you the status quo of the organization at this time and also to present to you fervent welcome to attend the 2006 Homecoming celebration. The graduating class of 1956 will be our welcomed guests for the gala. As the years pass by, the spirited members of the Board of Directors carefully and diligently plan the activities for the coming year. An election was held and we welcome another elected group promising great things for this 06-07 year. You can find the results of the latest election on our website [coming soon]. The Board of Directors carefully monitors the financial status of the general budget of the association and also the status of the scholarship funds of the Scholarship Committee. Despite increasing costs for standard programs, our organization is on strong footing. It reflects the hard work of the active members. In my judgment, they give their all for the best interest of the association. This writer is in awe of the dedication and hard work of the people you know. It speaks for the solidarity of the organization. As mentioned, the present group of active members deserves great acclaim for their efforts. This is not to say that they are satisfied with the status quo. They seek improvements. If an organization such as ours is to progress, input from all directions must be pursued constantly. It behooves all members of our organization, if they expect bigger and better Homecomings, to send us suggestions / feedback so new programs noting your recommendations can be examined and possibly instituted. Your comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated and expected. Dr. Arthur Julian, President

Welcome to the “ALUMNI THEATRE”

Have you ever wondered what happened to those great graduate composites that hung in the corridor of our High School? Quite a few have found a new home in the museum/theater located in the Gallitzin Community Center. While you are trying to locate your own picture or those of your classmates, you can view the newly released documentary “Once Upon a Mountain” video that tells the story of the role our tunnels played in early rail transportation. You may purchase a copy in the Gift Shoppe, VHS - $17.99 or DVD - $19.99. Also, there are several pictures depicting the History of our town and many great souvenir items to choose from, including items depicting the anniversaries of the tunnels- Gallitzin Tunnel, built in 1904, and the New Portage and Allegheny Tunnels, 1854. The museum is open 11 to 5 daily. For more information, call 814-886-8871 or log on to www.gallitzin.info.
