PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Peter N. Betrus, Supervising Principal World knowledge doubles every ten years. Our schools and col- leges are hard pressed to keep pace with the demands of our society. Approximately fifty new com- munity and technical colleges are being opened each year and four year colleges have increased their enrollment ten fold. Loans and scholarships are available to all interested stu- dents and an ever increasing stream of students are seeking further education. College en- rollment passed the five million mark in 1965 and will mount to eight million by 1975« Our seniors are attending col- leges in ever increasing numbers. Our senior class potential is very high. A large percent of our students will attend college or higher education and with maturity their contribution to our society will be gratifying. Year after year the excellence of our yearbook continues to please and impress me. My congra- tulations to Mr. LeBlanc and the yearbook staff for another fine publication.

Mrs. RUTH COREY On May 22, 1966, Mrs. Ruth Corey, who had joined the Harrisville Central District in 1941 as a grade teacher in the Diana rural schools and who, in 1946, had become a member of the present Central District, passed on to her eternal reward. A third grade teacher most of her life, Mrs. Corey had retired in the spring of 1958 after many years of dedicated service to the youth of our community. Her quiet ways, her unbounded understanding, and her humility were proof of her great depth of character. Mrs. JENNIE WOOD On December 2, 1966, Harrisville ana Harrisville Central School lost one of its most devoted members with the passing of Mrs. Jennie Wood. For twelve years prior to her retirement in February of 1966 because of failing health, Mrs. Wood had guided the development of her second graders with the love, patience and concern so inherent in a mother who has raised a large family. Her dedication as a teacher, her solicitude as a mother, and her courage in sickness were without bounds. Mrs. ERCEL GRAY It was with great sorrow that we learned of the unexpected passing of Mrs. Ercel Gray on the morning of February 2, 1967. In poor health for several years, Mrs. Gray had nevertheless courageously remained at the post she had held since 1946. Her great strength of soul was reflected in her smile, a smile born of understanding and love, a smile which warmed the hearts of both colleagues and students. Nothing can erase the debt owed her by the generation of students she has guided. Miss KAREN MANCHESTER The loss of one as young as Karen is borne with heavy heart for her passing has denied her family and us the joy of a child's presence, the purity and sincerity of her laughter, the inventiveness of a developing mind, and the promise of a purposeful life.
