GUIDANCE Mr. Gainor is the high-school guidance counselor. He is very creative in guiding our youth in finding future careers. He also works very closely with our Armed Forces, since we have a rather good percentage of each year’s senior class enlisting. Mr. Hurley is the relatively new junior-high counselor, who has proven himself time and again to be compassionate, strict, knowledgeable, and extremely hard working. He really know what he’s doing. I thi what I'm majoring in (or college?” |BOARD The Board of Education really worked overtime this year with the many budget votes.

He made the transition from high school principal to superintendent at a month's notice in 1970. and he has an outstanding record for being in such a position for that long a period of time. We. the staff and students, would like to wish Mr. B.”, as he is affectionately called, and his wife, the best of everything. May I take this time to thank all the people of the B-K-W district for the opportunity I have had to work with you. Many decisions have had to be made, and not everyone will agree that the right decision was always made. But in the main. I believe the school system has been viable and will continue to serve the students, parents and community very well. Mr. Perry Kane Mr. Michael Singleton Mr. Conners, our elementary school principal, is a fatherly figure to all students here. The Seniors want to thank him for his help with their carnival. Here we see Mr. Kane, who has been kept very busy these days with budgets. He has truly toiled with juggling the numbers around to meet voter satisfaction. We all hope that he will have an easier year next year, but he certainly earned his keep this yearl A picture is worth a thousand words, and the one above shows how much there is to do and how little time there is to do it. when you're principal. Mr. Singleton has proven to all that when there is something to be done, he’s the man to do it. Mr. Ronald Conner
