Mrs. Nathan Markowitz and Mrs. George Knoell were not in attendance at this meeting in the school's library. THEY MAKE THE WHEELS GO Although Mr. John Collins is not often seen by students, his role as supervising principal of GCS affects us all. Mr. Collins makes decisions concerning the curriculum, prepares the budget, recommends teachers for those leaving, and administers the policy of the Board of Education. Mr. Collins received his BA and MA from Boston College and his Ed. M. from Harvard. We will remember his graceful walk, his melifluous voice and his wood paneled office. Mr. Lawrence Bartnick Mr. John J. Collins Mr. Lawrence P. Bartnick spent his second year at GCS as high school principal. Mr. Bartnick received his BA from Dartmouth and his MA from Boston University. He has a special interest in mathematics and sports and believes in the development of well-rounded individuals. We will remember his first-day remarks to students to make the most of their years in high school, his active interest in student activities, and his P. A. announcements that invariably began with, This applies to

WE DEDICATE • • • We dedicate VESTIGIA to Mr. Charles Chakoumakos. We will remember him as Mr. C. We will remember his standing outside his door nodding to and chatting with students passing by. We will remember his eagerness to stir up debate in the classroom and his ability to make chemistry and physics alive and dynamic. We will remember the twinkle in his eye and his All right now, and Heavens! We will remember his approachability and willingness to discuss with students their problems -- both academic and otherwise. We will remember his wisecracks, his ability to point out an unnoticed aspect of a situation to students, his urging students to experience all of life and to make everything you do a worthwhile experience. We will remember his reminding students that taking a subject is assuming a responsibility. We are glad that he was our teacher. We are sorry that others at G.C.S. will not have him for a teacher and a friend. But we wish him luck in his future teaching. . . . AND WE THANK We would like to express our deep thanks to our class advisors Mrs. Littlefield and Mr. Lyons for their patience and counsel in our last two years at G.C.S. 5

Mr. H. Malcolm Stewart This year was also Mr. H. Malcolm Stewart's second year in an administrative post at GCS. A former history teacher and department head, Mr. Stewart is now assistant principal, and the terse announcement, The following people please report to Mr. Stewart's office immediately after announcements, was a familiar everyday ritual. Mr. Stewart received his BA and MA from Boston University. We will remember his notorious fracturing of P. A. notices, his cavorting as Big Jim Warrington in Little Mary Sunshine, and his joking with senior boys and, more often, senior girls. Mr. Walter L. Kennett was the man to see for seniors this year. Mr. Kennett, who received his BS from the University of New Hampshire and his MA from NYU, supplied college candidates with complicated analyses of their chances of getting into the school of their choice. In between perusuals of college applications as initiator of and advisor for the newly formed Ski Club, and this year the bulletin board outside the guidance office held a weekly sign up list for students desiring to go to Holiday Mountain each Saturday in the winter. We will always remember Mr. Kennett's memoranda to seniors, his breaking into English and history classes to make important announcements, his urging juniors to take the college board exams, and his ready smile and hearty laugh. Mr. Francis Josefiak Mr. Walter L. Kennett Mr. Francis Josefiak is still another second year man at our school. Mr. Josefiak received his BS from Cortland and his Master of Education from Springfield College. With Mr. Kennett, he helped seniors complete college forms and counseled them on future plans and ambitions. In addition, he worked with seventh and eighth graders in arranging and planning their schedules and helping the junior high schoolers to make the difficult adjustment from Main Street to Charles J. Hooker school. We will remember his calm manner, soft spoken ways, and his foot propped on chairs in the guidance office.
