SCHOOL PAST A D PRESENT As one glances at the diverse views of Niagara Falls High School, it becomes most apparent that the years have produced both change and progress. Structurally, the building was razed by fire in 1922, this effected a program of reconstruction and ex- pansion which was completed in 1923. Progressively, strides have been made to meet and adjust to the multi-faceted world in which we live. Equipment and facilities relative to the various phases of educational development have been in- corporated into a program rich with an appreciation of the total student. Now, as girders once more are placed to form an expanded Niagara Falls High School, we look forward to a future bright with promise.

To the Seniors of 1962: You have now reached the doorway which you alone must open, and beyond it lies your future. Up to this time, you were able to proceed with a planned program whose goals were rather easily seen and evaluated by you. Your classes were steps to them, and your teachers counseled you along the way. The threshold has a good founda- tion. Your progress through school has made you worthy to approach the doorway to life with a good degree of confidence.,We know the years ahead will be a wonderful adventure. My best wishes go with you. Timothy A. O'brien Principal ADMINISTRATID To the Class of l962: You have chosen as your theme Progress is the Doorway to Life. When you entered kindergarten or first grade, the doorway to educational oppor- tunities was opened to you. As you have advanced through school, new and wider doors have been opened. Each of you has developed your capaci- ties according to individual skills and effort. Your personal power is yours alone. Nothing worth having is easy to win. lt has been said that when one ceases to progress, he begins to deteriorate. As you leave high school, each of you will go his or her way - new friends, new in- terests and new opportunities. Your life will de- velop according to the manner in which you take advantage of these opportunities. lt is my hope each of you will travel the road of progress. My sincere congratulations and best wishes to you. Leah M. Simmons Vice-Principal
