EAST ROCKAWAY HIGH SCHOOL OCEAN AVENUE EAST ROCKAWAY, NEW YORK I ISIS (516 S99-7S89) MR. ROBERT D. MORSE Principal MR. EDWARD T. CROWLEY Ass't. Principal MR. LAWRENCE VANDE WATER Dean of Students June, 1978 The Class of 1978 East Rockaway High School East Rockaway, New York 11518 Dear Seniors: Just a few days ago I read the recent best seller What Really Ifcppened to the Class of 65? As the authors indicate many members of the class never realized their potential. Surely, the turbulent sixties won't be remembered as a golden era. But what about your class? What will you have acconplished ten years from now? If someone were to write a book about the Class of '78 a decade from now, would you want a chapter on your life? Think about it! Try to visualize where you want to be in ten years. You have limitless opportunities. Don't waste a moment. Start now to write your chapter. Make it a chapter filled with success and accorplishment. Sincerely, 1 I 8h D • Robert D. Morse RTM:mb Principal DR. WILLIAM K. LOUIS Supi. of Schools

I -I Ur. I Amis Superintendent The job of a superintendent is one that requires years of experience, as well as a thorough Knowledge of the workings of a school system. Dr. William Louis has the responsibility of not only overseeing the high school, but also the two grammar schools. Acting as a mediator between the Board of Education and the Administration, as well as being an overseer, Dr. Louis has been instrumental in many of the important decisions involving our years here. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Louis for his efforts on our behalf. Board of Education The Board of Education is a group of dedicated citizens who are interested in helping improve education in our schools. Their job includes the handling of the budget as well as making major decisions involving administration. Yet with all their responsibilities they remain a group of volunteers. These people should be commended on the fine job they have done and continue to do. Seated — (I to r) Mr. Roger Humes, Miss Carolyn Schempp, Mr. Harry Bunting. Standing (I to r) Mr. Earl Cole, Dr. William Louis. Missing — Mr. Peter Hughes, Mrs. Carol Leahy. 21

This year's new and expanded Student Council, under the direction of Mr. Steve Lander, has revived the student body's and the administration’s respect for this student organization. The enthusiasm of the council’s new president, John Morano, is typical of the attitude of each and every member. Among the Councils highlights this year was the movies that were shown in the high school auditorium. Also, to try and expand the variety of its activr ties. The Council attended county and state meetings that dealt with school government. Of course, this year the Council again held the Cosenza games. 23
