Especially in the later years of high school, each of us is confronted with many difficult decisions. Suddenly, the game of adulthood which we have played for so long begins to become much more a part of reality. Whatever one’s future may be — college, the working world, the military, marriage — it can no longer be delayed. Each one must choose a direction for his life, but in order to make the correct choice one must understand his own abihties and interests. If we wish to define ourselves, it is best to do so from the perspective of the world around us. Although one’s dreams of suc- cess often overshadow what might be a nat- ural occupation, in numerous cases, one’s activities and achievements serve to illumi- nate his true purpose at this time when within many of our minds there is nothing but confusion. For most of us, however, our friends also reflect the qualities we cannot see in ourselves; and, if we look closely at our environment and those within it, we can better understand our place in hfe.

Administra tion The Buck Stops Here Our administrators, Principal Louis Kel- ley, Assistant Principal William Wassel and Director of Occupational Education Alfred Slowe, have led us through another event- filled year. Mr. Kelley sees that the school runs smoothly and presides over many school functions. Mr. Wassel is responsible for disciphnary matters and for teacher and student schedules. Mr. Slowe also assists with discipline and oversees work-study pro- grams and the occupational education cur- riculum. Financial cutbacks have made this a difficult year, but our administrators have succeeded in maintaining quality education at North Attleboro. I 18
