Attica High School - Torch Yearbook (Attica, NY)

Board Of Education The Board of Education of Attica Central School, composed of elected representatives from the school district, is most directly responsible for the construction of our new building. They have struggled through many long and tedious hours in order to have it open for business by last September. Among their tasks were the acceptance of contractor's bids, approving the architect's blueprints, and during the actual construction, approving the appointment of teachers for the school. From all their time spent in conference has risen the beautiful building the high school now occupies. And, although a few things remain unfinished, they can be justly proud and, we hope, compensated for all the time and energy they have given. i W ll 7 MR. V'IC'1OR H.

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
