Gillman, Mr. Raymond Tubridy, Mr. W, Craig Peters, Mr. Ben Cohen, absent. We Salute . . . A school system would be an uncontrolled series of chain reactions if it were not organized and admin- istered properly. We salute the men who have the responsibilities of organization and administration of our school. First, we pay tribute to the Directors whose duty it is to set up policies and to manage finances. We are grateful for the time and effort they expend, the interest and study they take, the discussions and de- cisions they make, all of which affect our school lives. The thought, work and decisions of the school board would be to no avail if they were not administered MR. A. E. BACON Superintendent effectively. We next salute and are grateful to Mr. Allen Bacon who came back to the Wilkes-Barre City Schools from retirement this year to help out in an emergency. The immediate administration of GAR is in the capable hands of Mr. Victor Baiz, principal. The Class of T957 affectionately salutes him as we leave. We know that sometimes he must have found us as ticklish as a load of A bombs. However, with his patience and guidance the Class of T957 is achiev- ing the goal of graduation, and we are now planning to ioin the loyal alumni of GAR. MR. V. F. BAIZ Principal

MR. WALTER WOOD Assistant Principal The Class of 1957 salutes Mr. Walter Wood, assistant principal of GAR. His duties are many and varied. His good humor and wit are unfailing. He promotes the orderly chain reaction of constructive activity in GAR. He can and does exert effective deterrent and restrictive force whenever the chain reaction of GAR activity threatens to become non-constructive. We congratulate him as he graduates to his new posi- tion as Assistant Superintendent. MISS MARY McANlFF Director of Activities We gratefully salute Miss Mary McAniff, teacher of French and director of activities. Her loyalty to GAR is unsurpassed. In every task and every decision con- cerning school life her criterion has always been whatever is best for GAR. The Class of 1957 thanks her particularly for her help in all the activities of their Senior year. We also salute the office staff, Mrs. Melba Howe and Peggy Fuge. Their cheerfulness is a great asset to our school. Phone calls, statistics, school notices, visitors, inter- scholastic business, attendance reports, the mail, and all other hard iobs that come their way seem easier in the cheerful atmosphere they create in the GAR office. MRS. MELBA HOWE PEGGY FUGE
