January .... Administration School business manager, Mr. Charles Templeton, shows yearbook business managers Carol Cafararo and Marjorie Blowers how to make money. Monday night—Never before tonight have we fully realized how great a task it is to administer a public school system. Attending a meeting of the Mech- anicville Board of Education, we become acquainted with the members and the various phases of their responsibilities. Mr. George Pickett, president of the board, gives Marjorie Blowers an insight into some school business. During the meeting official documents are shown to Sonia Reid by two board members. Mr. Harry Iden. vice-president, and Mr. John Bolton. Joan DiPasquale watches as Rev. S. Aurigemma affixes his signature to one of the many papers before him. We are privileged to be present in this new board room as supervision of our school is discussed, but disappointed not to have met Dr. Michael Cavotta. Mr. Roman Johnson, Jr. and Mr. Joseph Zurlo.

January Administration Monday — Opening the record of our school year editors visit Mr. F. Wayland Bailey to discuss school procedure. During 1955 our principal from January to June, he is always willing to take time from his many responsibilities to give us a helping hand and encouraging words. Mr. Michael T. Griffin, su- perintendent of Mechanicville Public Schools, happily wel- comes the yearbook business manager. As we stop in his office, we catch a glimpse of numerous things that come to Mr. Grif- fin’s attention. As the fall term of 1955-1956 begins, the editors are glad to greet our new principal. Miss M. Mastrianni. The photographer takes this picture when they look up from a Regents’ schedule. By talking with those who guide the school and its activities, we become better informed as senior citizens of M.H.S. 10
