ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS FRANK BERNARD B.S., State University of New York M.A., New York University Because of Mr. Barrett’s retirement last year, Mr. Visnich’s duties and responsibilities were re¬ organized. As Jefferson’s new Assistant Principal for Administration his job deals with attendance records and coaxing stubborn lockers in addition to con¬ trolling our rambunctious masses in the halls, in their classes, and at lunch. Those who chose to ignore the warnings from their teachers found themselves on the right track again after speaking to Mr. Visnich. Even though our SCA president read the morning announcements this year, Mr. Visnich and his radio were still familiar sights when the busses arrived. Despite the fact that his job includes the disciplining of students, Mr. Visnich is still one of the most popular and admired administrators at Jefferson. What would we have done without our Assistant Principal for Instruction, Mr. Bernard? Without him classes would have found themselves without substitutes, stray books would never have found their owners, students would lack equipment, and field trips would degenerate into confusion. Many students are not aware of the planning that must go into complicated scheduling and ordering of equipment. But with Mr. Bernard problems rarely existed. His aims are to develop a program of study to meet the needs of every student and to introduce new methods and ideas to teaching.

PRINCIPAL To the Graduating Class of 1967 I am pleased to have this opportunity to offer my congratulations to you, the second class to graduate from Thomas Jefferson High School. Most of you have been here for three years, and certainly you have made a large contribution to the establishment and develop¬ ment of our school.
