Mr. Maris Quint, Principal Efficiency Creates an MR. QUINT I should like to preface my remarks by stat- ing that I am delighted to be in the Gettysburg Senior High School. The faculty here at G.H.S., in my opinion, is superior in every respect. To the Class of 1965 my best wishes for con- tinued success. I am quite sure that you have prepared for the future which lies ahead. It is our most ardent wish that you carry forth the heritage of this historic community, to the cor- ners of the earth with dignity and pride. Please remember that all that was done here at G.H.S. was done to the end that you would be able to accept your rightful place in society. Our nation needs responsible citizens. I think you will meet this need. Go now to face your future with determina- tion, pride and humility. Bless you all! MR. GROVE One very significant characteristic of most young people, particularly the high school grad- uate, is their personal compulsion to become associated with Worthwhile goals and causes. Certainly education is one such Worthwhile goal. Life to this age group is full of challenge, opportunity, zest, expectation, Wonderment, ad- venture, and acceleration. This is the point in life where one begins to become more mature, an independent being who is capable, willing, and ready to challenge the personal opinions and philosophies of his parents, friends, and teachers. The young mind that is filled to the brim with pride and desire for personal fulfillment and an excitement for the future will soon acknowl- edge a fundamental truism, that education is unquestionably the individual's eternal flamef, I commend the yearbook staff for its foresight and depth of thought regarding a suitable theme for the Class of 1965. I sincerely hope that your class through its members will continue to strive toward motives of high purpose and consequence. I would like to extend my sincerest congratulations to the members of the Class of 1965. Good luck and kind regards. -uu itin- un-uqgl its--.4 Mr. Paul Grove, Assistant Principal

Although it is ignored by many students, the school board plays an important part in Our everyday lives. The Gettysburg joint School Board is the governing body of our school. As such, it is responsible for the making of all major policies. The actual joint school board containing all representatives elected from the various townships meets only twice a year. The actual running Of Our school district is carried on by various committees, the most important of which is the joint School Committee which meets once a month. The board through its committees is responsible for hiring person- nel, iixing salaries, and the making of the budget. In the past year the school board has approved the addition of a new section to our high school and has acquired a bus for the use of students in various activities. The school board provides Our parents an opportunity to help shape school policy. It is the vital link of democracy in the running Of Our schools.
