F Dr. John P. Breen Think big. , .' June 1975 marks the end of the first four full years of the existence of Spackenkill High School. These developing years have been excitingl The school enrollment is currently six times what it was on the day the school opened. We have witnessed the development of a full athletic program. Our teams have compiled enviable records. , Cultural events sponsored by the school, such as the concerts and dramatic productions, have been imaginatively and enthusiastically presented and well-received. The school activity program has grown from point zero to a current number of over thirty registered activities. lt is still growing! We have witnessed the growth and maturity of school publications in the form of a school newspaper and a yearbook, each of which can be characterized as being among the best. The academic program has similarly developed. Seniors are having little difficulty gaining admission to colleges and universi- ties. The Marist Bridge program has been developed to give certain students an unequalled opportunity for a head start in college. The work study program has opened similar doors to students pursuing a career in business. Our cooperative vocational program with BOCES has flourished. The list goes on and on. However, the success of the new high school is due to many other factors as well. Without the support of the residents of the district and the leadership of the Board of Education, there would be no Spackenkill High School. Without the dedication and enthusiasm of the secretaries, cafeteria personnel, and custodians, we could not have the warm personal atmosphere that stimulates the atmosphere for learning. We are blessed with a concerned, enthusiastic, and demanding group of professionals in the faculty. Mr. Rightmyer's contribution to the smooth operation of the school has been invaluable. Still, none of the above mentioned could have accomplished any of the successes evident in the school without the assistance of competent and concerned students. You, the class of '75, have made present accomplishments possible. You have set the pattern for the generations to come. You have probed, participated, and patterned. The tradition you have established as the first four year class of Spackenkill High School is a credit to you and to your parents. Congratulations and Best Wishes! fam John P. Breen Principal 12
