■ -. SCHOOL DIRECTORS The school board works many long hours in order to keep our high school in smooth running order. Their ultimate goal is to graduate good students so much needed by our nation in these strenuous times. Their success in attaining this goal is often not fully appreciated. Certainly nothing can better stand as a monument to the labor of the school board than the fine records of past students and present citizens of our community. It is therefore fitting that we, the student body, express sincere appreciation for their hard work. Presently the twenty-five member board has been reduced to eighteen members, due to the reorganization caused by the union of our six districts. The board is comprised of members from Nazareth, Stockertown, Tatamy, Buskhill, Upper Nazareth, and Lower Nazareth.

“ RECORD-BREAKING” Construction of our new football field began in Jan¬ uary, 1962. The new field is to occupy the area to the north of the Senior High School, and is expected to be completed in two years. It will replace the field to the south of the high school. Even though the field is sorely needed because of the lack of seating capacity, it is sad to note the passing of the old field, upon which many exciting defeats and bitter victories took place. Indeed, to many people, football in An addition to the rear of the Junior High School building was started in May, 1961, and is to be completed late this year. The addition includes a new cafeteria, a home economics suite, shop, and four classrooms. The need for the new addition was brought about by the steadily rising number of students entering the school system. Besides adding this wing to the building, complete reno¬ vation was undertaken in the Junior High School. This program included the installation of new heating, lighting, and lavatory facilities. New windows and doors were installed in the entire school. Although the construction involved incon¬ veniences to both the students and faculty, its importance and value cannot be overemphasized because of the new opportunities which will be presented to the future Junior High School stu¬ dents. This addition represents one phase of the modernization of the Nazareth Area School Sys¬ tem. Nazareth will not be the same. Exciting football games and track meets will be identified with the old field for years to come. Dozens of Nazareth men made their first touchdown and many Nazareth girls cheered their team on to victory on this gridiron. The land which is now used for football is to be used for the new elementary school. Construction of this school will begin in May. 7
