l73' Curriculum Contributes T0 Student Gro wth THERE IS CONSIDERABLE research to indicate that social class, economic status, and genetic factors have more to do with educational out- comes than the program and curriculum of high schools in our country. If we were to rest on these conclusions exclusively, the result would be a form of educational cynicism and hand wringing which would, in the long run, be dam- aging to our schools. The Harrison High School Graduating Class of June 1973 refutes this. There are too many examples of slow starting and non-interested students who have responded to the curriculum with some degree of success. This class has produced a substantial number who are going on to further education, both university and technical, and many who either are holding down jobs or who have been hired for jobs that require preparation gained from school experi- ences. This tells us that students learn, grow, and absorb those values that help them become productive citizens in our society. We congratulate the Class of June 1973 not only for their individual successes but also for their unique contributions to students who fol- low. They have set a model of tone and spirit lnot merely of the Rah Rah varietyll, of cohe- siveness; of dedication; and of performance that will long be remembered and emulated. We wish you well and thank you for making Harri- son High School a better school.

18 Less Important Tasks Make Way For Major Problems HARRISON'S NEW REGISTRATION proce- dure has reduced the trvial tasks and permitted more time for maior problems. Discipline and attendance have improved greatly since students have had their choice in class selections. Administrators have a llbetter knowledge of what's happening, commented Mr. Jack Buller. With the number of day-to-day problems and nonsense situations lessened, administrators have increased time to deal with the more mature problems students encounter. The new administrative assistant was Mr. Alton Bennett. He came from Farmington Junior High and will be principal of the new Junior High School on 14 Mile Road when it is com- pleted. Mr. Bennett found that this year's high school contact will help him prepare iunior high students for their high school years.
