MEMBERS OF THE BOARD: Mrs. Maureen Van Popering. Mr. Reginald B. Hudson (pres.). Mr. Henry F. Hulse (v-p) STANDING: Mr. William Pell HI. Mr. William Mueller. Board Of Education Mr Hudson has given nineteen years of service on the Board, twelve of them as president. This year’s board with two new members, Mrs. Maureen Van Popering and Mr. William Mueller, was concerned with the problem of an insufficient number of classrooms. It proposed an elementary classroom wing and a physical education and industrial arts wing to be added to the school. Renovation to the existing building was also proposed. The board also considered the recentraliza- tion of our school district. The schools systems of Southold and Mattituck would also be a part of this recentralization. The main propos- al consisted of a junior and senior high school located in Peconic, with an elementary school in Greenport. It is believed by the board that these proposals would be of great benefit to the children of this school district. 3

Dedication The home of Founders Path in Southold where Mrs. Diller has spent many happy years with her husband Jack and daughter Kathy. This year Mrs. Diller completed twenty-five years of service in Greenport High School, having come here in response to an urgent request from Principal Joseph Walker in March, 1943, to teach English and French, her predecessor having left to serve in the wartime WACS. She has served here under six principals: Mr. Walker, Mr. Nye, Dr. Lamb, Mr. Banker, Dr. Neidich, and Mr. Peterson. Her English classes were in time replaced by part time guidance and eventually under Mr. Banker she became a full time guidance counselor. Among her other duties for varying periods of time she acted as adviser to senior classes, the yearbook, the senior play, the commencement exercises, and the Honor Society. Born in Saratoga, New York as Kathleen Malone. Mrs. Diller graduated from Saratoga High School and the State University at Albany. She took her graduate studies at Columbia, the State University at Albany, Boston University and New York University. Before coming to teach in Greenport, Mrs. Dill- er had completed fifteen years of successful teach- ing at Southold High School and thus this year she can look back with satisfaction at forty years of service in public school education. We the class of 1968 wish to thank Mrs. Diller for all she’s done for us and the many other grad- uates who have known her through the years. We sympathize with her recent illness and frankly miss her as do her fellow teachers. So to you, Mrs. Diller or more affectionately Kit- ty, we dedicate our 1968 BEACHCOMBER and hope that your years to come will be as distin- quished and satisfying as those you’ve shared with us. 2
