A man famous for his voice, his ability to sell almost everything from track to G.O. tickets, and his overwhelming school spirit is Mr. Erwin Clarke. A popular and respected educator, he has won the gratitudc of everyone associated with him in his thirty-seven years in physical education. Now the head of our Boys' Physical Education De- partment, Mr. Clarke can review with pride and satisfac- tion his twelve years in Great Neck, to which he came from his position as Supervisor of Physical Education for all Schenectady schools. He has produced more championship track and cross-country teams than any other coach in the North Shore Athletic League. As founder and current sponsor of the Boys' Athletic Association, he has promoted sportsmanship and co- operation in our athletic program. Throughout his career, he has been noted for his desire to help any boy find enjoyment in sports, regardless of ability. To Mr. Erwin Clarke and his continuing service to youth, we dedicate this yearbook. DEDICATION 5

FOREWORD A study of hands reveals that they can express activity, tension, creativity, tranquility, brotherhood. Here in school we see helpful hands, productive hands, hands which mirror their owners' satisfaction. Similarly, a study of feet reveals that they indicate motion • feet run, feet set the pace, feet lead. School activities reflect the efforts of our hands and feet; therefore, we devote VISTA 1962 to the theme of our productive hands and feet.
