Although we have known Mr. Banker for only a short time, he has become our counselor and our friend. Through his patience and wis- dom lie has stimulated our desire for knowl- edge. A tireless worker. Mr. Banker has done more than his share to keep our school on a high scholastic, moral and social basis. He has a genuine interest in the educational problems that have confronted us as a class, and as in- dividuals. When we first met our principal we felt the kindliness of this man, his generosity, vigor, and good will, but above all his friendliness. Gently but firmly he has guided us through our last year in high school. We, the Class of '55, feel privileged and proud to have had Mr. Banker as our principal. AI. I Hi A S.

WJe Leg in h nf pres en finq those who wale U We all know that the Board of Education is one of the main forces in running the school. Although we rarely see these men, we are well aware of their presence because of the many benefits we have re- ceived due to their work. Without Mr. Krancher our school clerk, the finances of the school would undoubtedly be in a state of confusion. Mrs. Gardiner, our school secretary, has saved the day for us more than once. How many times a day is she bothered by someone who needs a stapler, who doesn’t know how to use the ditto machine, or vari- ous other interruptions! Mrs. Gardiner is certainly one in a million. Our guidance counsellor Mrs. Oilier has the end- less job of preparing our schedules and advising us about college and future vocations. The rapid in- crease of G.H.S. students going to college is proof of her importance. For students who need psychological assistance, Mrs. Horlacher, the school psychologist, can be proud of a job well done. Keeping G.H.S. healthy is the job of Dr. Kaplan, our school doctor, and Miss Brooks our school nurse. They are assisted in the dental department by Miss Slivonik, our dental hygienist. Do you ever get the urge to play hooky? Well, you'd better not because Mrs. Crayton, attendance supervisor, makes this impossible. These are the people behind the scenes at G.H.S. Wonderful, aren’t they? I.KONARl) G. KRAKCHKR Clerk 0

Cum- mings, who inherits not only the blessings of the Class of ’55, but the blessings of the entire host of a thousand Greenport citizens who had the good fortune to sit in her classroom. They bless the name of Hannah Cummings. Yet, in truth, it is they who have been blessed — blessed by her faithfulness, her kindness, her getitleness; blessed by her quiet determination that each should learn, that each should be aware of the best in himself. “She was always good to us, says one former student, “she made sure that we really knew.
