OUR PRINCIPAL With the publication of this yearbook, I close my career in Public Education. Parents, faculty, and students of Attica have been very considerate, and I will always treasure pleasant memories of many worthwhile friendships made here. The war years in education pre- D g HARRINGTON, Principal sented difficult problems. The closest cooperation between students, teachers, administration, and the home was required and freely given. The Spirit of Attica was the Spirit of America as shown by a confidence in our ability and a firm determination to win. Splendid support was received from the Board of Education. They always supported the best interests of the child regardless of outside pressure. Attica High School is a sound, progressive, growing institution of learning. It serves students from 41 school districts in three counties. It has some of the best teachers in New York State. Attica’s glory is the record of her graduates. I am glad that my children had the opportunity to attend this school. I am lucky to have had a small part in this school program. Students rarely forget their Principal. I hope that you will always think kindly of me. Very truly yours, D. B. HARRINGTON
