In his three years at Niantic-Harristown, Mr. Dunscomb has initiated the seventh grade band which eventually will develop into a Jr. High Band. The high school band has received two superior ratings and an excellent under Mr. Dunscomb’s direction at the State Band Contest. He attended all band parents’ meetings and supported all their fund raising projects for the New York World’s Fair trip. Mr. D” has been an understanding friend to all his students. His youth and vitality have been an inspiration to the band members and their activities. We shall always remember Mr. Richard Dunscomb as a wonderful teacher and friend. Board of Education The Board of Education is the policy makingand governing body of the school. Its many duties are time consuming and arduous, but little recognition comes to its members. Beside the usual duties of seeing that an adequate staff is hired, that busses are maintained, and the buildings are in good repair, this year there was the added responsibility of backing a needed referendum. It was finally passed by the taxpayers in April. In the April school election, Mr. Gordon Snoeyenbos was elected to serve on the Niantic- Harristown Board of Education. Left to Right: Carl Brock, Herschel Pritchett, Kenneth Rankin, Carl Dunn, William Davis, Donald Bruce, Clyde Dial. Superintendent Mr. Gardner has worked tirelessly for the betterment of the Niantic-Harristown schools. While at Niantic, he has shown continual interest in the students and their activities, striving always for what is most beneficial to them. He has also demonstrated unceasing interest in the affairs of the community which he serves. Mrs. Ruth Rambach served ably as Mr. Gardner’s secretary. She kept the office running smoothly and efficiently throughout the year. Principal Mr. John Hickey, as principal of the high school, has capably performed the duties of his office. His understand- ing guidance has been an inspiration to both the students and faculty. His constant willingness to devote time and energy to any student’s problem is characteristic of the fine job he has done. Miss Anita Skinner served as Mr. Hickey’s secretary. Her competent assistance has relieved Mr. Hickey of many of the routine duties, freeing his time for the more complex tasks. MR. H.

In Memoriam The sudden and premature loss of Miss Judy Burns in May, 1962, brought sorrow to the hearts of her friends at Niantic-Harristown High School. In her Freshman year Judy was a member of the Student Council and G.A.A. Her winning smile and cordial personality are still missed by all. 12 - Seniors % Commencement exercises for the Class of 1965 were held on May 28, at 8:00 p.m. The processional, Music For A Ceremony,” was played by the Niantic-Harristown High School Band. The invocation was given by Father McGrath of St. Ann’s Catholic Church. First Honor Students, Kathy Orrison and Steven Parish, gave their timely addresses to the large crowd.

As the play opens, Fred Hastings’ parents and friends are both interested and concerned about the source of his sudden income. Fred finally reveals to his best friend, Larry Madison, that he has been posing as a model for the Glamour Girl Cos- metic Company along with Miss Gloria Patterson, and wants this information kept a deep dark secret from his girl friend, Nancy Graham, his family, and his friends. Larry reassures Fred that he has nothing to fear because he, the great fixer, will give it his undivided attention. Mrs. Hastings, Fred’s mother, is planning a birthday part)' for Nancy and when unexpected company in the form of Miss Lois Corwin and Miss Gloria Patterson of the Glamour Girl Cosmetic Company show up, Fred and Larry are in a dilemma. Larry’s story is that Fred has been teaching football to a wealthy spinster. Miss Melinda Whipple, who has paid him handsomely. The plan seems to be working so well, but now these females appear-to ruin it all! Fred disguises himself when he learns that Miss Corwin and Miss Patterson are coming, but to no avail.

The plot centers on Henry Gilcrest, a meek, rather shiftless twenty-eight year old. It seems the world has turned against Henry, as he has lost his job, his room, and his girl. While spending a night in the park, Henry meets Mr. Bumpus who, understanding his predicament, gladly offers to have Ernest rid Henry of his misery forever for a nominal fee. Discouraged as he is, Henry accepts. Upon returning home, how- ever, Henry discovers that he can have his room, his girl, and his job back. He is quite content until he remembers Ernest. When four people named Ernest appear at Aunt Ethel’s boarding house, the excitement rises. Amid the confusion, Henry discovers that there is no Ernest and all is well. m f fim a m � v In the Misty Moonlight Dan Miller crowns Gloria Al- len and Don Tucker Queen and King of ihe 1965 Prom.

The Girls’ Athletic Association enjoyed a very active and pleasurable year. Homecoming was early this fall, but the organization, under the di- rection of Mrs. Mary Pipher, was planned so well that it was a truly memorable event. Since G.A.A. activities are not seasonal, the girls went bowling, ice skating, and swimming even during the long winter months. To add zest to the program, many interclass tournaments were held. The annual Mother-Daughter Banquet is always a highlight of the G.A.A. spring calendar, and is a pleasant finish to the year. Tournaments, including volleyball and soccer, were played during the year. ■ Left to Right: Cheryl Bisscy, Chaplain; Kathy Kissel, Points Chair- man; Pktty Tucker, Secretary; Diana Rogers, Vice-President; Mrs. Pipher, Advisor; Ann Butterfield, President; Carol Chamber- lain, Treasurer; Jean Sigmon, Chairman of all Committees.
