ADMINISTRATION SCIENCE MUSEUM OBSERVATORY Scheduled to be opened to the public by mid-1971, the new twenty- inch reflecting telescope being built by the Springfield Stars Club will have a great effect on the outside community and on Classical gradu- ates. Once opened, the public will gaze into the heavens, seeking clues to the secrets of the universe. The twenty-inch mirror was one of six poured from the same glass which was used in the 200-inch Mt. Palomar Telescope, the world’s largest. The new observatory portrays a renewed inquisitiveness into the unknown. We look into the galaxies, seeking to find answers to age-old questions. Mr. Sullivan, Richard Vercellone, Sanford Frank, and Mr. Lynch explore the heavens together. While the astronomer looks to new horizons, Classical’s forward-looking faculty seeks new methods for educational relevance.

School administrators serve as Mr, Raymond J. Montagna, principal of Classical, is one of the driving forces behind the high scholastic achievements characteristic of Classical students. Recognition for both scholastic and extracurricular sports achievements comes readily from Mr. Montagna, who, at many times during the year, holds special assemblies for such occasions. This year’s seniors have a broad senior privilege policy as the result of Mr. Montagna’s always pro- gressive thinking.
