Dedication A dedication is not an act of the past, nor does it end with the present. We are not the only class, by any means, to have gained from the loyal friendship, willing services, and invaluable aid of Mr. Edward Schreiber, Jr. We wish to express our sincere appreciation for the superior athletic groups which he has worked so hard to develop and maintain, but more important for the sense of sportsmanship he has instilled in our athletics. It is to Coach that we, the Senior Class of nineteen hundred and sixty, dedicate this yearbook, for now and forever. 3

Foreword A school is oomposed of those who come to learn and of those who come to teach. If their basic goals are attained, the school is a successg if not it is a failure, regardless of physical beauty or modern facilities. It is very easy to be proud of Attica Central, for it is continually admired and discussed. But we, the Class of '60, are proud of Attica Central for much more important reasons. Our classmates, our faculty and the educational oppor- tunities offered us are the things we will remember on leaving. when we think back on our four years of high school preparation for work or college, we will think of Attica Central 3 but it will be of Attica Central as an institution of learning, not as an architectural masterpiece. Our school is a place of opportunity, high standards and hard work. The Class of '60 is grateful to the faculty and the administration for help- ing us to make Attica Central more than a building.

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. . .
