'f T' r tf 3 ,Ami V 1- H The Class of1971 has lived through years in which the public at large and stu- dents in particular have demonstrated interest and involvement with such major problems facing man as pollution ofthe environment, war and peace, and civil rights. This class has shown impatience with old solutions to these problems and a desire to develop new ones. During your three years at Long Branch High School and particularly during this year, the faculty has developed and experimented with new approaches to learning. These focused greater independence and responsibility on the learner and had as a major objective the development of the ability to think critically. These new approaches to learning have prepared this class better than any previ- ous one to attack and solve the problems which will face you in life. As you leave long Branch High School and face the challenges of adult life, re- tain the spirit of idealism which has marked this class and remember that each of you has a grave responsibility to become involved in striving to make the world a better place. Best wishes, Qwgwg - ' 'T i ' f I P N W5 4 W V an t if f '1 sf 53' 4 F f I9

In the realm of management, the student has traditionally held little standing. Adminis- trators, in their world of decisions and policy making, usually did not consider the student as responsible enough to participate. The Fac- ulty, concerned with the masses of students confronting them each day, rarely gave the in- dividual a hand in educating himself. But in the continual upheaval and breaking of traditions which has characterized our times, one more change has come about. The Faculty and Administration has transcended its individual sphere to enmesh the student. Administrators have invited the student to involve himself in administrative circles, with student-faculty advisory committee meetings. The Faculty has become aware of the stu- dent, the individual, through such programs as the Drug Abuse Seminar, attended jointly by students and faculty. Faculty members have played double roles as teacher and advisor, counselor and coach. This year a new sphere opened up before the student's eyes, and helped to make for a peaceful coexistence in the school.
