JOHN A. RUCKDESCHEL Principal - Centre Avenue School KEVIN L. JUDD Principal • Rhame Avenue School EAST ROCKAWAY PUBLIC SCHOOLS EAST ROCKAWAY, N. Y. WILLIAM K. LOUIS Superintendent M. DOUGLAS SACKMAN Director - Pupil Pertonnel High School WILLIAM A. BERG Principal - High School Dear Seniors: Every year this school hopefully sends out into the world a new group of graduates ready for the next phase in their lives. We have done the best we can to make you mentally awake, physically strong and morally straight. While our chief concern has been for your scholastic development, we have also been interested in the development of your total personality. Our prisons are full of bright but dishonest people. Our colleges are attended by many academic grinds who are self-made physical misfits or absolute bores. Many of the successful people in the world outside the classroom were once average students who made up for their limitations by personality development, will power or just plain hard work. In the final analysis, then, all of you have an opportunity to live worthwhile, meaningful lives in the years to come. The kind of person you are or will become still remains a personal decision. If you have neglected your opportunities here, the road will be rougher, but you may still realize your dreams. If you have made maximum use of your opportunities here, the road will be a lot smoother but never easy. Over the years, those of us who have been around a little longer than you, take special joy in learning of your success and happiness when it is attainedj we are saddened when we learn that your path has been darkened by misfortune. After all, you carry away a part of us with you. All of us, here at East Rock-away High School wish you well. Sincerely, William A. Berg Principal WABrms i

ADMINISTRATION MR. WILLIAM BERG Mr. Berg, in a sense, has progressed with us, for he began his job as principal when we entered high school. He has inspired us with his desire to make our school the best, and we sincerely hope that in some way the Class of 1965 has helped to make this desire a reality. MR. DOUGLAS SACKMAN As Director of Pupil Personnel, Mr. Sackinan performs many necessary services. From student problems to college counsel, from seventh graders to seniors, he assists and befriends all. Mr. Sackinan plays an important role in the smooth running of our school and is a truly fine administrator. MR. FRANK SCHMIDT Mr. Schmidt fills the new position of Dean of Students with the same good humor and ability that he has shown in teaching. Always ready to hear and help students, he gives a new dimension to a new role at East Rockaway High School.
