Changes Take Place Each Year EACH SCHOOL YEAR is different from the preceding one because of changes of personnel, new students, the aduation of seniors and curriculum ad itions. This makes each new year challenging and inter- esting to both staff and students. One of the personnel changes that took place on April 1, 1973, was the transfer of Mr. Geiger, who had been principal at Farmington High School, to Harrison. He regards this as a desirable change and a chance to work with a new staff and stu- dent body after many successful and enjoy- able years at Farmington High. He points out that all of the Farmington high schools are excellent and differ from one another only slightl . He thinks the Harrison staff is a very p easant and coop- erative young staff that is genuinely inter- ested in students. The student bod , made up of onl 10th, 11th, and 12th gra ers this year, is a so very friendly and talented. Other personnel and organizational changes have been made as well as the addi- tion of some new courses and rograms. For the first time at Harrison, a ull time vocal instructor had been employed. Mr. Geiger looks forward to an exciting and roductive year, and observes philo- sophically, that change, generally for the better, will continue to take place.

Administration Investigates Dilemma THE MAIN CONCERN of this years administration was understanding the rea- sons behind the students problems. tiThe students attitude and how he acts are what our decisions are based on, said Mr. J erry Allison concerning skipping. The adminis- tration eased up on skippers but strived to find out why they were skip ing. The vigil outside also was relaxed as ar as smoking goes. For the second year in a row, Harrison had ttcollege style registration? It was a success and ran more smoothly than last year. Second semester pre-registration was used as a final schedule with only minor changes allowed afterwards. With encouragement and hel from the administration, the student b0 y kept the cafeteria much neater than last ear. A new pop machine was made availa 1e for stu- dents and faculty use any hour that they saw fit. A11 in all, despite the late start of school due to the two-week strike, the administra- tion worked hard to get the 1973-74 school year off to a fast and smooth start.
