Writing this message to the members of the 56I' Gateway staff gives me great pleasure. You are pro- ducing this book under great difficulties. When the responsibility was assumed by the class of 56, you, as seniors, knew what a yearbook means to a school. It was thoughtful of you to invite the class of 57 to help so that they will carry on and ex- pand next year's Gateway. The work you have done this year is truly a class gift to your school, one that will start Frontier on greater efforts in years to come. You have realized the potentialities of Fron- tier and I, for one, am sorry you were unable to avail yourselves of all the facilities your school will have when completed. We shall always remember you. Our best wishes for success are yours. I thank the Class of '56 very much for having produced this year's Gateway. Sincerely, Charles G. Buesch Charles G. Buesch-Co-Administrator for Instruction C0 ADMINISTRATORS Vernon Heiman-Co-Administrator for School Plants Here in America universal education is the very foundation of our democratic form of governmentg our American Way of Life. Thus the need for greater educational opportunity has been felt in every community throughout this great land of ours. To meet this need locally we have combined our resources, thus organizing the Frontier Central School System. The year 1956 marks the comple- tion of the first step in that united effort, the Fron- tier Central High School, We have one of the finest high schools in America, built to meet the many and varied needs of our youth. Thus, Frontier stands as a Gateway of oppor- tunity. Through its doors our youth may seek new adventures in the field of their choosing. Our doors are open. May they make the best of these oppor- tunities. Sincerely, Vernon Heiman

Over this period of time, we have advanced through the stages of the one- and two-room rural school, the eight-room common school and the union free grade and high school program. At present, we are the possessors of one of the most modern school systems in the state, of which our ultra modern buildings are a part-. Each of these came into existence because of the educational needs of an active, alert, far-sighted, growing com- munity. Our earnest ambition has been to provide the best possible educational program for our students. One, which will prepare them for a college career or a chosen vocation. May every student appreciate the opportunity of receiving,a well rounded education, and leave his school a better place, because he has lived there. May this experience be enjoyed today, remem- bered tomorrow, and serve as a future to be built upon every day of his life. 6 Zo. 166.4

Elementary Coordinator Francis Manley Senior High Principal Wilbur Morgenfeld ADMINISTRATION Guidance is education focused on personal de- velopment. lt is a process of helping the student to discover his potentialities. Its end result is personal happiness and social usefulness. Every person who is engaged in helping a boy or girl to achieve these objectives is doing guidance. Those that must work together to accomplish this are: The teachers, clergymen, family, physical education department, and the many organizations such as Scouts, Rotary and others. The function of the guidance counselor is to coordinate these resources and bring them to bear upon the individual problems of the student. At Frontier, guidance begins in the Kindergarten and continues after the student leaves school. First, a cumulative record is started of every student en- tering school. This record will contain data about his family, his health, his problems, his interests and hobbies and his achievements. lt will also contain the results of tests given for intelligence, aptitude and emotional adjustment. This record will follow the student all through school and will help the counselor to guide the student into the right courses of study, the right college or the right vocation. Guidance is concerned with helping the student to help himself. The counselors will make sugges- tions for programs for college, business, and in- dustry. They will furnish the student with infor- mation about the world of work. The occupational file contains data on many thousands of vocations. They will make out transcripts and recommenda- tions for students going to college and will furnish college catalogs, application blanks and other helps. They will help students to get scholarships by fur- nishing information, conducting scholarship study classes and making recommendations. The guidance department can make the student aware of his potentialities by giving him tests that indicate his aptitudes, intelligence, interest, emo- tional maturity, and his achievement in the various subjects. Guidance is also concerned with many other things such as placing students in jobs, helping students with emotional problems, conducting ca- reer conferences, college visits and talks with par- ents.
