PRI CIPAL YW Edwin D, Kennedy. Our State Constitution opens with these solemn words: Uwe the people of the State of New York, grateful to Almighty God for our Freedom, in order to secure its blessings, do establish this Consti- tution.n I hope that the Forestville Central School has done its part to convince the members of this Class that this fundamental belief and dependence of the American--always religious--always free people, is the best security against the dangers of these difficult days. Being constantly confronted with the basic truths of our exis- tance and inspired by the example of our ancestors, we hope that the work in our school has brought lawful authority, and that the supporting the training in the God, for parents, and for your into focus and will accord respect for school has fulfilled its function of home, ever intensifying your love for country. 7

ADMI ISTRATIO The office clock measures time and as the day slips away, it signals the orders for reporting in the home rooms, going to the various classes, and marking the end of the school day. The administration of our school plans the routine of our days and fits the work that we are to cover into the time pe- riods. When we are late, or miss the time allowed for a task, there is a bad spot and confusion results in the smooth running of the program. There is no place where a well-timed program is needed more than on television, and anyone who does not carry out his plan to a split second causes not only confusion and misunder- standing, but loss of money as well. 6

Mr. Edwin Butcher replaced Mr. Bert Babcock who had served on the board since its formation after centralization in 1938. During the past two years the number of buildings on the nschool hilln have increased until we begin to look like a real com unity. For some time we have been planning to build a gar- age for present and future buses. This was brought to the vote of the people and passed at the Annual Meeting in 1951. All ar- rangements were made, and the contractors started excavating on October first. In spite of a very early winter, work progressed satisfac- torily, and the garage was accepted and occupied on February 1, 1952. After the area in front of the building has been surfac- ed with blacktop this summer, we will have another good looking addition to the present plant. Fbr the first time, we have a full time guidance teacher and a driver's training course. .Both of these additions to the services of the school should have far-reaching results in stu- dent life even after leaving school. The purchase of two fine pianos has added much to the suc- cessful functioning of the music department, and we are looking forward to another year of continued progressive improvement. 8
