We, the editors of Reminiscence, feel that even in this day and age, our school is quite similar to the castle of feudal days. We have built our theme around the Medieval Castle. In our limited time we have attempted to depict the similarity of our activities to those of years gone by. Under certain conditions we have had to use our imaginations and have had to enlarge on our interpretations. In the Middle Ages studying and learning was the goal of the monks. Today our school has always been known for its emphasis on scholastic achievement. The knights participated in tournaments closely allied to our present athletic contests. We students demonstrate the code of the knight of old—fair play, a sense of respon- sibility, a high standard of conduct and an application of good manners. As the guilds stimulated the social interest of the people in medieval times, today we have our clubs and activities which teach us how to get along with the other fellow. We trust that this book in years to come will bring back fond memories of the happy times that were spent within the castle of Harrison High. The faculty sponsor wishes to thank those pupils who handled their assignments and carried through to the completion of the book. Lee Wollin and Billie Berlanti worked hours and deserve much credit. Marie Tezzi did a splendid job on the art work; excep- tionally good work was performed by Ursula Fallani, James Stewart and Peter Ruge. Other pupils who did creditable work were Jeanette Brunner, Louise Di Berardino, Joan Dufton, Frances Forlano, Nancy Corsaro, Filomena Spizzirro, and Frances Torano. Credit should also be given to the mem- bers of the Business Staff: Mary Ann Riccio, Simone Le Goff, Lucille Fabrizio, Kenneth Meyer, Camilla Martino, Larry Loffredo, Curt Daniell, and Frances Torano.

By the authority invested in me by the Class of 1951, Harrison High School, Harrison, New York, I, as editor-in-chief of the Senior Class publication. Reminiscence, do hereby dedicate this book to Mrs. Anne Donley. Born in the town of Harrison and a graduate of our castle,” she entered her chosen profession, physical education for girls, and received a degree from the Savage Physical School of Education. Later she com- pleted advanced courses at New York University. Since 1931 Mrs. Donley has been a teacher and director of girls’ physical education in the high school. The formation of The Leaders’ Club, a group trained in the fundamentals of leadership, and the Girls’ Athletic Association, a group stressing all kinds of girls’ physical activi- ties, attests to her organizational ability. As Senior Class advisor, Mrs. Donley has been the guide in activities necessary in raising money for the class. She has devoted long hours in this capacity. A true counsellor at all times, a leader of girls, a popular member of her profession, one who was always willing to help our class, Mrs. Donley has earned this honor. Signed this 25th day of June, 1951 By order of The Senior Class. Lee Wollin, Editor-inChief, Reminiscence
