EBn A cademics Although our scholarly pursuits are often taken for granted, they comprise much of our daily schedules. Whether drawing a con- clusion from a Geometry problem or draw- ing a portrait in art class, whether reading a Hemingway novel for English or reading a popular magazine in the Media Center for enjoyment, whether conversing with an interesting teacher or just a friendly class- mate — we are learning! Knowledge takes on many different forms to suit the needs of each individual, but no one should allow a learning opportunity to slip away only because it does not appear pertinent to his purpose in life. The maze of prejudice is often complex, always confining; nevertheless, just as its source can be found in ignorance, its solution can be found in understanding. Only through knowledge can we, as a whole, realize the solution of the problems facing the world around us, and, as individuals, come to learn the workings of the world within each of us.

A dministration Our principal, Mr. Louis D. Kelly, has a very busy schedule all year around at North Attleboro High School. Besides being responsible for handling the day-to-day problems of the school, he also must evaluate all of the instruction and make both major and minor decisions. As any leader, however, Mr. Kelly has his own right-hand man, Mr. William S. Wassel. The Vice-Principal helps the principal take care of his heavy schedule and he also han- dles any disciplinary action that must be taken against students. The final member of the high school’s trio of administrators is our Occupational Educa- tion Director, Mr. Alfred J. Slowe. He assists with disciplinary action and manages his department of the school. Right: Principal Louis Kelly — He’s ready for any- thing! Below left: Rep. Kevin Porier and Mr. Kelly fold the flag.
