Mr. Schulman Addresses First Seniors T raditional words to graduates usually follow some set patterns; they may exhort students to do better than their parents; they may urge stu- dents to resist current negative influences and tendencies; they may deplore anti-social acts; they may extoll evident virtues . . . and above all, they urge students to make the most of them- selves so that their lives may be fuller and richer. Most adults will recall their own high school years rather fondly, and muse over those days where mutual respect seemed greater and young people seemed to llbehave better. But it is pointless to yearn for the ligood old days. Life today is fraught with problems, frustrations, fear, apprehension, and also challenge, excitement, and yes, great promise! We will not apologize to you for the condition of our society. To fix responsibility for this is an ex- ercise in futility and a form of iicopping-out. We challenge you to resist cynicism, to resist fault finding, to resist debunking, and most of all to re- sist finding reasons to sustain a negative exist- ence. We further challenge you to continue 'to in- quire, to continue to question, and to continue to press for needed and necessary change. Our 'oommon experience at Harrison High School is a proud one. Students have worked hard; parents have reinforced their children with great support, and teachers, with dedication and skill, have worked to create a climate of learning. We will be graced in the future, not by the iso- lated graduate who becomes famous, but by every student who organizes his life so that he becomes a contributing member of our communi- ty, and in so doing, creates a desirable society to live in.

New Insights Alter Wags of Discipline dvanced methods of discipline, more thor- ough cooperation with students and faculty, and the ambition to get involved are the main points of concern taken into account by the Har- rison administration. Mr. Buller, Mr. Allison, and Mr. Anderson are trying various new methods of discipline that benefit the student rather than hurt him. When a student skips a class, he is asked to take the necessary time after school with his teacher in order to make up the work, a definite improvement over losing three days work as pun- ishment. To be able to cooperate with teachers and stu- dents is a helpful, if not necessary, virtue. When asked about the administration at HHS, one teacher replied, HThey are real people, people i can trust. Indeed, cooperation leads to a more organized, respectful relationship. And from co- operation comes involvement, invoivement in stu- dent and faculty problems. Of the three men, Robert Anderson is the new- comer. A former administrative assistant at Power Junior High, he comes to Harrison with several years experience.
