Administration Located at the joining spot of the three wings of our school, the Administration Department is literally as well as really the hub of the school system. The office staff, guidance counselors, health staff, cooks, custo- dians, and actual administrators work together to keep the school running smoothly. 5

Exchange Student Program DORIS BECKER MARK DA-DD Peace between nations is what the world is striving for, and the age limit in this area is not eighteen. That is for war. Now, even Juniors in High School can help in the struggle for peace. Thanks to the American Field Service, we now have a program by which one of our stu- dents can travel abroad and help promote better relations between our country and another one. LINDA IQNG This program aptly called Americans abroad, is LINDA STEPHENS new in our school this year, but so far has met with a great deal of enthusiasm. 'I'he qualifications of an applicant are these: the student must be just completing his Junior year as of summer, 1960, he must have com- pleted at least two years of a language, other than English, he must be sixteen years of age, and must have an earnest desire to promote world peace. There were eight preliminary applicants, and by means of composition judging and an inter- view by the A.F.S. Board here in Attica, that number was narrowed down to the four students pictured above. This will be a great oppotunity for the one chosen, a once-in-a-lifetzhne chance. We feel that all four candidates are excellent ones, and know that, whichever one is chosen, Attica Central, and the United States, will be correctly ORN ELLA BRHEA The American Field Service not only sends one of us abroad, it brings someone from abroad to study and live with us. 'l'his also is a new project for Attica, and it got off to a very suc- cessful start with the arrival of Miss Ornella Brega from Italy last summer. She has been liv- ing and studying with us for quite a while now, and we will be sorry to see her leave next summer. She has adapted herself well to American life and cutoms. She has taken Driver Education along with her regular subjects. Also, she has taken an active part in extra curricular activities. She is a member of the French Club, G.A.A., and a number of other school organizations. Through Miss Brega we in the school and community have learned a lot about how wonderful a student from a different land can be. we hope our future students will all be as nice as Ornella is. represented in that person. . .

T Q59 fx , Supervising Principal 49 MR. PETER KIND Hr. King is, in addition to his duties as Supervising Principal of the Attica Central School District, also the High School Principal. This year as we moved into a new school, there were many extra and new responsibilities for him to face. It meant reorganization of the school set up, shifting a whole Junior-Senior High to a new building, collecting the grades in the Elementary Building, new bus schedules, answering end- less questions about everything. To this was added the regular work of interviewing teachers, making out schedules for students and teachers, as well as the everyday responsibilities. To all of these many demands, I-ir. King has given instantly of his time and talents. Because of his organization our school system is efficient, disciplined, alive. Students and teachers regard him with respect and affection which he, in turn, reciprocates by the confidence he shows in his teachers and his keen in- terest in the welfare of all the students. 6
