ADMINISTRATIVE FRANK C. WOODWORTH MRS. BABETTE D. FRISBIE Curriculum Coordinator AB., lVl.A., Albany The position of the Curriculum Coordinator is city-wide, dealing with the coordination of curriculum from kindergarten through sen- ior high school. It deals with the revision of old curricula and the establishment of new. Grade level and administrative meetings, bi- monthly Curriculum Bulletins, professional workshops and extension courses improve lines of communication and the professional status of teachers. The maintenance of a curriculum library, selection and recommendation of textbooks, review of current educational materials and practices, help to keep teachers and cadet teachers informed about ideas and materials that they might not find time in busy teach- ing schedules to peruse. Educational research to provide a better un- derstanding of our pupils, curriculum and teaching helps to improve our system, as does a Central Supply Library of supplementary books for use in all elementary schools. The office and services of the coordinator are available at all times to administrators, teachers, and cadet teachers for assistance, en- couragement or approval in all matters aca- demic or professional. Director of Pupil Personnel Services A.B., lVl.A., Albany This department was first established one year ago for the purpose of providing better services to our students by coordinating the efforts of various departments under one ad- ministrative unit. Under our present organi- zation the following activities fall into the general classification of pupil personnel serv- icesn: attendance, employment certificates, guidance, health and dental services, education for physically and mentally handicapped, and psychological services. Within the past year we have added a psychologist and full-time attendance officer to our professional staff. Through this type of organization we hope to serve the many diversified needs of our students better than we had been able to in the past. We are anxious to be of assistance to all students in the most effective way pos- sible.

OFFICIALS GEORGE C. SAUNDERS Principal A.B., University of New Hampshire M.A., Columbia Atomic-powered submarines have not ob- viated the need for the traditional type. Like submarines, the Mold high school will be utilized for another segment of the education- al system. The new high school, designed for a new era, will perform its function in that era with proficiency. Education, the over- all task, will be served well by each in its own way. Tears need not be shed for all that is left behind because the truths and traditions of the past and present will live on in the fu- ture. Much the same as American democracy evolved from English tradition and common law, the past will serve as a foundation for traditions yet to be made. Members of the Class of 1961, who en- deavor to attain the greatest heights of which they are capable, will do more to commem- orate the closing year of GHS on its present site than any other single act or ceremony. Let this be your pledge. ADA H. BUSSE Vice-Principal A.B., M.A., Albany Leaving the building where I've spent many happy years as student, teacher, and ad- ministrator is an occasion which brings be- fore my mind's eye the thousands of boys and girls who have been students here. They were a cross section of youth anywhere- some eager for learning, others resistant, but all of them normal, lovable youngsters. Most have become successful men and women- some eminently so. The honor brought to GHS by those who have achieved singular distinction is a credit not so much to their Alma Mater as a building but as a faculty of earnest teachers who guided their thinking. So, as We set our sights upon a beautifully modern and capacious new school let's breathe a prayer that the teachers there will mould as wellg for according to Arthur Guiterman, UNO printed word nor spoken plea can teach young hearts what men should be, Not all the books on all the shelves but what the teachers are, themselvesf,
