LLOYD A. MILLER Pfimqml With the trademarks of a friendly smile, a warm hello, and usually a good anecdote, Lloyd A. Miller completes his second year as Bennett's principal. A graduate of the University of Buffalo in 19??, he began his career teaching business subjects at Riverside High School. In 194-2 he was appointed assistant principal of this school. The following year he left there to assume a similar capacity at East. On February 20, 1957, Mr. Miller entered Bennett as assistant principal and after Mr. Farrar's retirement we found him occupying the principal's chair. The fresh coat of paint for Bennett's walls, and the numerous other school improvements, are the results of Mr. Miller's persistence. His suggestions also prompted the construction of the fully equipped student activities room and the new teachers' parking lot. This year, Bennett with Mr. Miller's guidance added many new classes. Among the curriculum changes were the institution of a Sophomore girls' secretarial course and the inclusion of an extra lab period in the Physics program.

When asked what his hrs! impression of Bennett High School was, Mr. Raiken said, I was most impressed with the air of activity, of progress, and of excitement. He believes that Beunett's leadership is reflected in the many large and small projects. I shall never cease to be amazed at the accomplishments of Bennett High School, its student body and faculty. Mr. Raiken, stating what hc liked heat about Ben- nett, said that the students are his lirst choice. The cn- thusiastic way in which Bennett students respond to the complete program at Bennett has helped to give Bennett its excellent reputation. Looking into the future, Mr. Raiken said, Bennett will continue to grow and change. Its curriculum will not remain stagnant but, as is the tradition at Bennett, it will continually adapt itself to the times. Morris Raiken, assistant principal, has dedicated himself to education, and truly represents Bennett High School's high caliber of administration. Amlrtant Princqml MORRIS RAIKEN 9
