DEDICATION To the services of Mr. Bradle Van Brunt and Miss Margaret MbCrea we hereby make this dedication. V . l -In Mr. Van Brunt deserves con- siderable credit for the expan- sion and improvement of our commercial curriculum upon which more and more demands were made due to the increase in our high school enrollment. This program soon required an assistant in the department and then enabled the school to offer many of the Com ercial subjects to all stu- dents. He came to us with some business experience from which he drew many practical points which were found useful n our program. Mr. Van Brunt is the chief finance officer of all student activities and takes care of all accounts throu h a central activ- ities fund. Ee has in the past offered his services and fa th- fully performed the duties of Basketball Coach, Class Advisor to various class groups Chaper- on of the washing on rip. He has pursued considerable graduate work in the field of ommercial Education as well as In the fields of General Educa- tion and Administration. Miss Margaret McCrea has enthusiastically taught in the fields of Latin and French. Her intense interests in these fields have led her to pursue a consid- erable amount of graduate work in these fields and to travel and study on the continent of Europe in genuine French sur- roundings. Her contacts in these activities have been in- valuable in the returns which it brought to students directlg or ind rectly associated wit her work. Because of these efforts, students in all curri- cula were found to select one or more of these subjects as elec- ves. Miss McCrea has participated In the direction of class plays, the Debate Club, and has acted as Advisor to many class grougs and acted as Chaperon on t e washington Trip.

L- A - THE ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS HIGH SCHOOL was founded in 1895 and had its first graduating class in 1896. There have now been, ug to the present date, forty graduating classes and six hundred t irty-seven graduates. In la er years the classes have been much arger than was formerly the case. we attribute this fact to two hinge: the larger number of students remaining to com- plete a high school course, and the fact that 'thirty-five percent of the enrollment of the students come from Highlands. The argest graduating class in the history of the school is the Class of 957, which has forty members. Since 1928 the Atlantic Highlands High School has been on the approved list of the Associa ion of Secondary Schools and Colleges of the Middle Atlantic States and Maryland. Our graduates have made enviable records in college as well as in business. As the enrollment of the high school has increased, more activities have been added, more academic offerings have been given, and in every way the student life has been enlarged and greater opportuni ies presented. The faculty has been increased n all degartments unti we have at the present time, in addi- tion to t e seven academic teachers, five special teachers doing the work in the departments of Manual Training Domestic Science Physical Education for Boys, Physical Educa ion for s1r1s, and Music of vocal and instrumental nature.
