A Dedication to an Outstanding Leader, our Admired Principal Within the character of Joseph F. Collins, we find the qualities of an outstanding leader and a skilled co- ordinator of school activities. The graduating class of 1963 seeks to express our appreciation and gratitude by dedicat- ing this yearbook to a distinguished principal whose devo- tion and untiring efforts have made possible our advance- ment. Mr. Collins has completed courses in Albany College of Pharmacy, Union College, Albany State Teachers' Col- lege, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Oswego Teach- ers College. As a result, he is the possessor of a Ph.C., a B.S. in chemistry, and an M.S. in administration. He began his career in the Schenectady School District as a teacher of mathematics and science and in 1958 succeeded in becoming Technical Department Chairman of Mont Pleas- ant. His sound judgment and cooperation have greatly in- spired the efforts of the faculty to make repeated forward strides in handling the problems of a large comprehensive school. Mr. Collins is known as having broadened'the oppor- tunities available in general education without significantly detracting from special offerings. The school year of 1961-1962 marked the appointment of Mr. Collins as principal of Mont Pleasant. Since then, he has been forever improving and advancing the system of education. With sincere appreciation we designate Joseph F. Collins as making our Pleasant Seasons a sturdy foundation in the preparation for our future. Mr. Collins autographs a Montaneer during Yearbook Night. Our principal takes time out from a busy schedule to pose on the athletic field, as part of the newly-erected lighting system towers in the background. Mr. Collins talks with guests at the Senior Ball. Last year one ot the many social functions Mr. Collins attended was the Yearbook Banquet. 5
