Come in, and welcome to Lackawanna Hi h! We've had 2 9 1 very high recommendations regarding your caliber, and, of course, feel honored that you chose our school to continue your education. Undoubtedly, a new school building and its routine seems, at first, strange and unfamiliar, but we know that it won't be long before the Lacka- wanna High spirit of friendliness, so abundant here, will make you feel completely at home. You may be certain that the students, teachers, and administration will all work together to help insure your scholastic well- being, and make your four years of high school as pleasant, and, above all, as profitable and maturing as possible. Here is the spacious main office, where you'll come to know our principal, Mr. John P. Osborne, indefatigable and indispensible to the smooth operation of all phases of school life. As chief administrator, he is responsible for the supervision and operational procedure of all school activities, for the formulation of school policy, as well as for numerous other details necessary to a well-run school. In his secondary, but equally important capacity, Mr. Osborne has the well-being of each individual stu- dent as his responsibility, and is available at any time of the day as prob- lems of yours arise that need his attention. The attractive rooms adjacent to the central office are those of our guidance counselor, Mr. Edward J. Cosgrove. His task is no easy one, for today the job of school counseling is of more importance than ever before. Care must be exercised to insure that each pupil obtains the full benefit of his high school course. Mr. Cosgrove sees to this by evaluating indi- vidual programs and by making every effort to see that each student is given a schedule consistent with his aptitude and ability. In addition to this, and to administering testing programs such as the scholarship ex- aminations, Mr. Cosgrove can be approached at all times for conferences about future plans, and many kinds of literature and information on all types of occupations may be obtained at his office. Our two assistant principals, Mr. Robert Hasler and Mr. Harry Doherty, have the important tasks of managing the school student rec- ords, and even more importantly, of keeping the students in line-that is to say, making sure that the tardiness and absenteeism are kept at a minimum and seeing to the period-by-period smooth operation of the school fthey seem to know instinctively when anyone skips classy These delin- quents and others who blithly stray from the narrow path of school rules constitute a special duty-and a stern one, for these two most competent men. Their secret weapon against such waywards is the ominous jug, conducted very ably at 2:45 every school day. OUR WORKSHOP hm... 4 L . ' .. ez 4 T Q Y-Q WWW WM W' WN! 4
