In the Fall we welcomed two new administrators DR. WARREN M. DAVIS Superintendent of Schools When Regional ' s doors opened for another year last September, we found that a new administration had already been hard at work for several weeks, under the direction of Dr. Warren M. Davis, new superintendent of the Union County Regional High School district. Dr. Davis brought to us the benefits of wide experi- ence. A native of Ohio and recipient of a D. Ed. degree from Ohio State University, he has served education in many ways— as a teacher in a one-room schoolhouse, as science teacher, as department head, as high school principal, as director of secondary schools, and as as- sistant superintendent. Just before coming to Regional, Dr. Davis had been principal of North Plainfield High School. gS -- iii «• - V l , ' J? DR. RANDOLF T. JACOBSEN Principal Dr. Randolf T. Jacobsen, our new principal, soon became an important part of life here at Regional. He was quick to show his enthusiastic interest in the ac- tivities of the school and was always on hand for sports events and other after-hours affairs. Throughout the year he proved to be always willing to guide us and to aid us in solving our problems. Dr. Jacobsen holds the Doctor of Education degree from Rutgers University, where he also obtained his M. Ed. His underg raduate college work was done at Dickinson College. Before coming here Dr. Jacobsen was at Somerville High School for about twenty years and was principal for the last eleven. MR. GEORGE KING Director of Guidance 11

Long Before Our Return, the Board Was Hard at Work The governing body of Jonathan Day- ton Regional High School is the Board of Education, which is constantly striving for the continued improvement of our school. Through the years, as we progress from freshmen to seniors, we become increasing- ly conscious of their untiring efforts, for we are surrounded by the results of what they have achieved. When the first Regional school opened, twenty years ago, no one could envision the vast development of the six small towns making up the Regional district. An addi- tion was added to the original building in 1953. The board soon realized that this could not accommodate the upcoming surge in population. In 1956, the Arthur L. Johnson Regional High School in Clark in- creased the number of Union Countv Re- gional High Schools to two. Still this could not satisfy the great need. An addition to the Clark building has been planned to accommodate 600 more students. A site has been purchased for another school in Berkeley Heights and preliminary plans for a fourth high school, to be situated in Kenilworth, have been started. At the left are the members of the Board as they are found at one of their many midnight meetings. 10
