MY FIRST YEAR AS A HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL My first year as a high school principal has been a happy one. When changing positions from one school to another and also changing from one type of work to another, I wondered just what was in store for me. I try to approach a problem of this sort on the theory to expect the worst, hope for the best, and take what comes. I have received the best at North Salem. There have been numerous activities that have taken place in our school that have made for a better school, Ones that have impressed me most are the conduct of you students, the wholesome attitude you take toward learning, the attitude that you take toward the faculty and school life in general, the businesslike manner with which you conduct yourselves about school, and the willingness to co-ope rate and work to get a job done. One cannot overlook the complete co-operation the school has received from the community. The backing the comrnunity has given our athletic teams and our band program is evidence that our community reacts favorably toward the total educational process. In planning our program for this year, I have tried to plan as well-rounded a program as possible. Naturally the first item of consideration is the curriculum. At present a student has his choice of four courses of study -- Academic, Com- mercial, Home Economics and Agriculture, Along with the regular school studies, I have tried to have enough extra curricular activities so as not to make Jack a dull boy. In my opinion these extra curricular activities add color to our school life and also help develop our personalities, In the future our school is going to grow, Our enrollment is going to increase and along with this increase will come an increase in the curriculum offerings. This year we have added the Agriculture courses plus Latin and Physics. Next year we hope to offer Chemistry and keep on building our Science Department. Also along with our Agriculture program we hope to add a Farm Shop course, On the humorous side of my first year at North Salem was the incident that happened in General Mathematics class. I was calling the roll the second day of school from a paper the students had signed. The writing was very typical of a boy in the freshman class and my not knowing whether the writer was a boy or girl added to the confusion. I finally guessed the name as Diana, I was a bit surprised when a boy by the name of Dwain answered. Need I say the boy has never lived the name down in Math class yet. My first year as principal has been a busy one -- I would have it no other way, I cannot overlook the fine faculty we have hadg their willingness to enter into all phases of the educational program. The enjoyrnent I receive from helping boys and girls to better themselves is certainly worth my time and effort to help build a better school. The thoughts of that first year at North Salem shall always be a bright spot in my book of memories, Mr. Harbison 3
