STANDING: Mr. Smith, Mr. Marquart, Mr. Hale, Mr. Orbeson, Mr. Costanzo SITTING: Dr. McCann, Mr. Henry, Mr. Stucker, Mr. Durfee Dear Class of 1964, You have asked me what the Board of Education has accomplished in the past year. This is not an easy question to answer, for it may be years before we really know what we have accomplished. First, we presented a budget to the school district's people which they ac- cepted. We then hired administrators, teachers, maintenance workers, cafeteria workers, bus drivers, and clerical personnel to carry out the education program. The buildings have been maintained, heated, lighted, and furnished. Examples of such furnishings have been physical education equipment for the gymnasiums and playfields, instruments and music for music classes, library books, certain textbooks, science equipment and usable supplies. Also, school buses have been purchased and maintained to transport pupils who live too far from school to walk. Furthermore, additional reading and guidance personnel have been added to help each of you solve your particular learning problems. The Board of Education has written policies so that the administrators can more easily follow the direction in which we hope to move. Along this line the Board of Education has worked continually with the school staff to solve the numerous problems that arise in a system of this size. Yet, Graduates of 1964, these may be all minor accomplishments when con- sidering the whole picture, our greatest accomplishment this year is you. For you see, of all of the things we do, the one that is the most important is to make it possible for you to graduate and go on to a richer, more satisfying life in our democratic society. Yours truly, Joseph O. Henry President 18

A The old Yates School, founded by John B. Yates, was the main institute of education in Chittenango for over a hun- dred years. Its use was discontinued in 1928, due to the building of a new high school on Lake Street, but because of the important role it played in the development of our com- munity, it will never be forgotten.
