Makers of Harrison High As Superintendent of schools, Louis M. Klein wos re- sponsible for the supervision and direction of all schools and personnel in the district. He also attended the Board of Education meetings at which he reported on matters of concern to the Board members. Mr. Klein also acted as the representative of the schools at all public functions. Dr. Clayton A. Friis, the Assistant Superintendent, was chiefly concerned with the instructional program in the schools. He conducted an orientation program for the new teachers to acquaint them with the schools and the town. He also supervised the teacher workshops that were held this year. Dr. Clayton A. Friis Assistant Superintendent of Schools The principal and assistant principal of Harrison High have many difficult and time-consuming jobs. They are responsible for the education and welfare of the student body as well as the overall functioning of the school. As school administrators, they are in- strumental in developing new ideas and policies. This year, Mr. Smith and Mr. Meyer changed the lunch schedule. Three half-hour lunch periods were estab- lished. They also extended marking periods to ten weeks and for this reason report cards were issued quarterly. Mr. Kenneth Meyer Assistant Principal Mr. Nelson E. Smith Principal TO THE CLASS OF 1966: During your six years in Harrison Junior- Senior High School, much history has been made. You have witnessed the start of a social revolution; legislation in Civil Rights, Educa- tion Laws, Anti-poverty and Human Relations will make society a better place to live in. Your obligation in life will be to implement what has been started. Refinements will have to be made and we hope the fine background our faculty has given you, has prepared you for this task. Congratulations to the Class of 1966. Sincerely yours. Nelson E. Smith Principal 13

Mr. Philip V. Castelli From the first week in September when the department is swamped with schedule changes and drop slips until the last exam results are recorded, the Guidance Department is constantly working with the students' welfare in mind. This year, Mr. Castelli, Mrs. Higginbottom, and Mr. Berino started a newsletter which they hope will come out four to six times a year. It dealt with timely topics and events of interest to both parents and students. Another new practice was the Airmen's Qualifying Exam which is a vocational apti- tude test. This exam was given the last day of mid-terms and all seniors were required to take it. Mr. Berino worked with BOCES to arrange courses for those students interested in de- veloping a vocational skill such as cosmetology or auto mechanics. The choice of the right college or business is an important one. Once again this year, the Guidance Department arranged for visits by various college and business representa- tives. In this way the counselors helped stu- dents plan their future and performed an invaluoble service. They smile while our hearts ore breaking. Mrs. Grace De Macy Secretary is
