BUTLER’S BOARD OF BLUEPRINTS JAMES OSAR President Faced with the problems of a construction year, the Board of Education diligently planned a program of operation for the 1963-64 school term. These activities included budgeting school finances, pro- viding books and supplies, handling school ground maintenance, and investigating and introducing new methods to the educational system. During this past year the responsibilities of the Board have greatly increased. The members have presented the blueprints for the new school, awarded the building contracts, and arranged their budget to accommodate these new expenses. These men, who so devotedly donate their energies for the betterment of our school, are: James Osar, president, Clinton Ackerman, Edward Aquadro, Bernard Brewster, Robert Chandler, Charles Ebers, John Gormley, Orion Horwath and John Schmitz. From l.-r.: Mr. Easterbrook, Mr. Osar, Mr. Ackerman, Mrs. Raymond Whritenour, a newly elect- ed member, and Mr. Schmitz discuss the construction program at a recent Board meeting.

OF CONSTRUCTION 1964 Throughout the year 1963-1964, Butler High School has been the center of much activity. Students and teachers have witnessed the noisy, rumbling task of removing the older sections of the school and the building of the new. More than this, however, the classes and faculty have constructed their own addi- tion to Butler, a storehouse of memories collected during this period. These additions have not been confined to our own corridors. As young American citizens, we were stunned by the enormity of the death of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy; as teenagers, we were engulfed by Beatlemania and its mopped- haired originators. In these past months the progress of construction has moved steadily and continuously. The Nugget 1964 is the story of this construction. It recreates one entire year which has been filled with many joys and disappointments, successes and fail- ures, all of which have become a new part of each Butlerite. It is the combination of a past and a future of Butler High School, in which each day, each class, and each student has contributed to the final result. As you, the students of Butler, relive the past year in the pages of this annual, the construction of a school and of a personality will be revealed. It is the wish of the Staff of 1964 that the Nugget will serve as the blueprint in helping you remember that you are a part of Butler and that Butler is a part of you.
