.,5f7lg,...- Creation of Our School The Jonathan Dayton Regional High School was built to satisfy a need. Prior to its erection six towns, Kenilworth, Garwood, Springfield, Mountainside, Clark, and New Providence, did not have senior high schools of their own. For many years it was necessary for these communities to send their students to neighboring towns. This plan prevented the six communities from managing the secondary schooling of their own students, besides depriving the students of the satisfaction of participating in the life of a school of their own. Since it was impossible to build a separate high school in each of the six towns, the problem was rapidly growing acute. The question arose: What was to be done?,' A solution to the problem was developed under the active and able leadership of Dr. Arthur L. Johnson, Superintendent of Schools in Union County. Dr. Johnson had early conceived the plan for a regional high school to fulfill the educational needs of our six communities. He and Mr. Haisey, who has since become Supervising Prin- cipal of the Regional High School, worked together toward the establishment of the institution which we now have-thanks to their untiring efforts. This thoroughly modern school building was not easily created. It represents the cooperative efforts of many people. It was necessary for Dr. johnson and Mr. 'Halsey to explain to the citizens of our six towns the necessity for adopting the Regional High School Plan and the details of its operation. Dr. johnson first appointed a temporary board of edu- cation. This board discussed local problems and considered them in the final decision to adopt the plan. After the plan was adopted, there still remained an enormous amount of work to be done. There were many people who assisted, and it seems fitting that we men- tion a few of them. Our representatives in Washington, the Honorable United States Senators A. Harry Moore, Hamilton F. Kean and W. Warren Barbour, together with Congressman Donald H. McLean and Congresswoman Mary Norton, were influential in getting the federal government to approve our loan and grant of funds. Our state officials, the Honorable Senator Charles E. Loizeaux, Assemblymen Thomas Muir, John Kerner and Herbert Pascoe, together with Mr. Edward Whelan, used their power and influence to pass for us some necessary! legislation. State Commissioner of Education Charles H. Elliott and Assistant Commissioner Howard D. White gave helpful sug- gestions on all phases of the project. Cf invaluable service to the Regional Board have been the attorneys, Mr. Nor- bert Burke and Mr. Henry Nulton, the latter also acting as secretary and district clerk. Mr. Frederick A. Elsasser is responsible for the excellent architecture of the school building. Many of the features that make the building adequate in every detail are due to the ability of this man. W'e owe a hearty thanks to Mrs. Agnes Flemer and the Springfield Board of Education for their generous gift of almost the entire school grounds. We are fortunate indeed that the location of our school is so very close to the county park grounds. The Union County Park Commission, by way of its secretary, Mr. W. R. Tracy, has cooperated fully with our Regional Board in landscaping these grounds and in offering us the use of their facilities, the football field, the running' track, and the skating pond. ' We owe a great deal to our Supervising Principal, Mr. Warren W. Halsey, who, besides helping to develop the regional plan, also worked all summer in organizing his educational administration so that we could all commence our school program without any confusion or delay.
