Mr. John Collins, Supervising Principal; Dr. Frank Filippone, Junior High Principal; Mr. Oscar Gustafson, High School Principal. ADMINISTRATION The purpose of the school is education of youth. The primary instrument in this goal is the teacher. In a one-room schoolhouse the teachers and pupils could accomplish this by themselves. However, with the ever-growing student population, an administrative staff is needed to enable the teachers to fulfill the school’s purpose of education without being hindered by problems of discipline or of arranging schedules. The administration staff of G.C.S. this year has made education at our school tops. Mr. John J. Collins, our Supervising Principal, received his B. A. and M. A. degrees from Boston College and has taken education courses at Harvard. His friendly smile and hello, and his attendance at athletic events shows his interest in the students. Mr. Oscar W. Gustafson is retiring as high school principal after twelve years in this capacity. He received his B.S. at Springfield and his M. A. at New York University. His cheerful, May I 8

Social Scientists Mr. Roy Baldwin, Mr. Roy Croswell, Mr. William Tyler, Department Head Mr. Malcolm Stewart, Miss Helen Finley, and Mr. Owen Reynolds appear optimistic about fate of the world. TUB WORLD, rrc PBOPLB AND 7UEJR, ROArTONSWrPO TO ONB ANOTHER Every year of high school has given Goshen students a broader understanding of the past, present, and future of our world through the various courses of social studies each student must take. As a freshman, the globe is thoroughly studied. There are maps and facts galore to memorize, so that we might know the exact location of Irkutsk, Vladivostok, and Reyjavik; about sheep raising in Australia; and fishing around Iceland. Then, with a basic background in the role of geography in man's history, we begin a study of that history. In our sophomore year we sat stupified as we heard strange tales of Hannibal's crossing the Alps and Bismark's blood and iron” tactics in Europe. American history filled our minds as juniors and seniors. As juniors, we attended Boston’s Tea Party and Philadelphia's Constitutional Convention, traveled west with Lewis and Clark, shed blood at Vicksburg, and, as should all good Americans, became thoroughly familiar with the Constitution of the United States. As seniors we continued our survey of American history from 1900 to the present, a most challenging project as we study our rapidly changing, complex government and way of life. Senior history, too, forced us to react to various issues on the contemporary scene - not an easy thinking-type assignment. And then we were ready to leave GCS to become active American citizens. Let us meet some of the people responsible for our preparation for this role. Mr. H. Malcolm Stewart received his BA and MA from Boston University. He is Goshen's American History II teacher, and the head of the social studies department. We will always remember his performance of Hari-Kari. It was fabulous! Did you read in yesterday's paper . . .? Oh, that's right; you just carry the TIMES. We still love you, Mr. Stewart! 10
