THE celebration ot' the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Great Neck Schools is climaxed in our school by the graduation of your class—the largest grad- uating class in Great Neck history. Many of you have brought distinction and honors to yourselves and to your school. Such accomplishments maintain and in- crease the reputation of our school and set goals for those who will follow after you in the years ahead. In your future endeavors, I hope you will carry w'ith you the desire to excel so that along the way the good name of our school will continue to grow. I know that many of you anticipate the future w'ith confidence and ambition. I hope that all of you will have the faith, the cour- age and the moral stamina to take your place in the good citizenship of our coun- try. I extend to you my very best wishes for your successs and hope you will remember that your school is here to help you at any time. We shall watch your progress with in- terest and hope you will return to see us. Ruel E. Tucker Principal MY congratulations go to the various editors of this book. ■ They have worked hard during the year to produce a volume that would present in pictures and in words some of the outstanding events of this school year. As time goes by, you will look back and treasure it more and more. Like so many other endeavors, this one is the work of many people who have given generously of their time. There have been those who have typed all the words you will read. There are those who sold the book. Others have worked late to take pictures of school events. It is the many that need our thanks. They have contrib- uted their time and their talent to make this issue of the Vista a success. Let us give a cheer to the many w'ho have followed di- rections and made the various editors com- plete their tasks on schedule. My best wishes to the Class of 196V May they find success and happiness in their future. 7 Mr. Chari.es A. Maier Assistant Principal

 VISTA OVERHEARD from Room 442: How do you spell Shiskevish? Omeltchenko? Blank negatives! No room for the Pep Club?” Too dark, too dark, the Junior Prom's too dark!! More blank negatives?”; $300 short? O.K., cut the administration. For a while, we were quite cer- tain that the senior prank would be no Vista! But despite each set-back and challenge, the faint glimmers of the finished product spurred us on. The sesquicentennial anniversary of the Great Neck school system suggested the theme we worked around, using draw- ings and photographs old and new' and humor, now and then. To be sure, we will alw'ays remember when we finally gathered up the words and pictures of the year and laughed all the way to the printer's; and she laughed at us, so there must be something funny somewhere.
