Summary
"This year's Journal...is about a local landmark which holds the venerable distinction of having influenced the educational lives of three and in some instances four generations of local families..."
"Of all the landmarks in the Ephrata area, none have the distinction of having touched more liaves or aggected more generations than the building today known as Highland Elementary School. Except during tow major periods of renovation, the school has remained in continuous use as a center of education for Ephrata students ever since it was first built as the Ephrata High School in 1927."
"...it would be a landmark in its own right due to the confluence of two major architectural powerhouses: the renowned Lancaster architect C. Emlen Urban and prominent local craftsman Alexander L. Gerhart."
