The evolutionary processes contained in education are not something reserved solely for the educators, but a trust which must be shared by Americans in all walks of life. As High School Graduates, you too will be asked to share this serious responsibility. The new and spacious schools you have recently occupied are the result of much preparation and planning on the part of school administrators, and, of much sacrifice on the part of the taxpayers of our community. We know that you are grateful to your parents and neighbors who have so unstintingly expressed their trust in our public school system by authorizing construction of our beautiful high schools. K As you approach adulthood, however, you will soon realize that in order for America to have the most excellently trained minds in the world, it will be necessary to continually appraise and evaluate the educational system in your community. It would be the height of folly to assume that any school, regardless of its academic reputation, is performing perfectly and without problems. Therefore, it will be your solemn duty to take an active interest in all school matters so that you may be better qualihed to evaluate and to offer constructive criticism, when necessary. By supporting your public school system you will be performing one of the highest functions of citizenshipq and by honest and unbiased evaluation of your schools you are assuring a system of education which truly reflects the integrity of this nation. Daniel Webster wrote, If we work upon marble, it will perish, if we work upon brass, time will efface it, if we rear temples, they will crumble into dust, but if we work upon immortal minds, if we imbue them with principles, with the just fear of God, and love of our fellow man, we engrave on those tablets something which will brighten to all eternity. Congratulations to each of you and may God bless you. VIOLA S. SOUTHERN President, Board of Education Central High School District No. 2 1: 4 ,r 1 urn!! , t 4-1 Mr. Samuel Nacllcr Mr. J.

Forewor This june our school marks the conclusion of its second academic year. It is the privilege of this yearbook to trace the steps leading up to this event. Taking our cue from the Latin phrase, ab initio, we shall start at the beginning, when, on a bright, June day, ground was broken in a ceremony attended by members of the Board of Education. Soon afterward, work began on the building itself. On September 10, 1956, the school threw open its doors to admit its first student body. Since that day, our school has developed into a harmonious organization of students and faculty rivaling the unity of ancient Rome. In the following pages you will read about this evolvement. It is our wish that doing so will widen your insight into the student body of New Hyde Park Memorial High School. 1 COUNCIL PATRICIANS XXV FORUM I-XVII CIRCUS MAXIMUS XCIII TAXES ............................................-..---- ----A-- C V Table of Contents
