Perrine M BOARD OF EDUCAT I 0 N jamesburg High School was founded in September l906 with an enroll- ment of seven pupils. By l909 the student attendance had increased to over ninety. On April ZO, l9l l, it was voted to have a school built to accommodate the increased enrollment. The new school was situated on Augustus street, directly opposite the old Grammar School. Teachers were elected on August l4, l9l l. The school was under the supervision of Curtis Deveney from the time it began in l906, until his death. ln l927, Mr. Charles Auman took Mr. Deveney's place as principal. Votes were cast in favor of a new high school on March lO, l93l. Accordingly, a plot of ground containing about ten acres was purchased. T-he new school, modern in every detail, was located on Forsgate Drive and Davi- son Avenue. The school began in September, l932 with a total enrollment of one hundred eighty pupils,-one hundred in the Academic and eighty in the Commercial Department. Mr. Auman continued as prin ' year. At the end of l932, he resigned. Due to his resigna r illiam Steidle was acting principal during the year of l933. Mr. M ' ' replaced Mr. Steidle in l934, and continued as principal Kenneth Coulter is our new principal. The school baseball and basketball teams compete with other high schools. A track team has been organized by the boys. For many years, a newspaper has been written and published by the students. This year, the students are publishing a year book, which, I hope, will be a precedent of many year books in the future. jOHN WADDY. cipal for the first tion, M . W errill Fairheller until l937.

KENNETH C. COULTER, BA. and MA. Ohio University Columbia University N0 REGRETS Sometimes, as we look back over our life or some portion of it and realize that we have done some things better left undone and failed to do some things which should have been accomplished, we have a tendency to regret our lost opportunities. This should not be. Shall we think, instead, of our successes? In the past year we have worked hard, played hard, learned much. lf we have failed in some things, why regret it? We can be glad for these few mistakes for through them we have learned what not to do and so we may move ahead more surely. Have we made an error from which no profit may derive? Then let us forget that error. lt is silly to set up a mental hazard of remembered failures. We all have many successes to remember. Those who will return next year can remember what a fine year we have had together and can look forward with happy anticipation to better years to follow. To those who graduate-No Regrets! One thing you know you have accomplished. May your life be a series of such successes. KENNETH C. COULTER. 7
