A Bulldog's Fight From the beginnings of time man has been ac- companied by his best-friend — the dog. We, the students at Butler High School have also been led through our four wonderfulyearsbyan intangible, but very real dog whom we fondly call Burris. Burris is, to us, a symbol of everything good in Butler High. This year Burris has been a very active fellow. He headed a school-wide clean-up campaign, which resulted in the cleanest halls and classrooms Butler's faculty and administration have seen in a long time. In addition to this, Burris also sparked our students with a high voltage school spirit, giving all athletic participants the feeling that their student body was behind them all the way — through rain, snow, and crowds the spirit showed through: Come on boys — win! We re all behind you. This undercurrent of spirit, which has raised the morale of the whole school, has also manifested itself in a field completely new to Butler High. This year the student council initiated a Citizenship Honor Roll by giving recognition to deserving, well- rounded students. This year, I960, has been a year of many other firsts here at Butler. We began the school year with a new principal, John Becker, and he was later joined by a new assistant principal, Benjamin Gold- berg. This year also brought with it a new time schedule for classes and clubs. In the field of sports, Butler added Fencing to its slate of major sports. New comer on the scene this year was Cross-Country which reappeared after many years. This year, our last, has been a busy but very profitable one. We, the Nugget staff, present this book for you to treasure as a record of a year made memorable by the spirit of a dog.

BOARD OF Bernard McDonald President of the Board. Elected in 1957. The Board, in an effort to decrease over- crowded conditions, notified West Milford and Kinnelon that their freshmen would not be admitted to Butler High after 1961 for the former and 1962 for the latter. Overcrowded conditions forced the ele- mentary school to rent quarters for ten classes. Among proposed plans to remedy this was a new neighborhood school and a six room ad- dition to the present school. This plan was voted down in November. An alternate plan called for an addition of 12 to 14 rooms to the present elementary school. Another problem of this year's board was filling the administrative position of high school principal vacated last June by John Sower. Vice-principal, John M. Becker was promoted to the principalship, but this, in turn, created another vacancy. A former Butler teacher, Benjamin Goldberg, was ap- pointed to the position of Vice-principal. In addition, Jessie DeGraw, the elementary school principal, retired on January I. Eugene Hastings, the former elementary school coach and director of Physical Education was ap- pointed to the position. In addition, the board was kept busy with such activities as maintaining the staffs at full strength, keeping the schools adequate and attractive as possible, and approving all purchases of supplies, books, and fuel. Edward Aquadra Finance Committee, House and Grounds, Repair Committee. Elected in 1958. Charles Dilzer Repair Committee, School Activities, Teachers Committee. Elected in 1947. 6
