ADMINISTRATION DR. RICHARD S. POLLACK Superintendent Mans problems tend to persist. Throughout the ages man has sought the purpose of life. No single answer has been found that is accept- able to all but the search has led to the develop- ment of many philosophies. One thought that has been basic to many philosophical dogmas is that “Truth” is the goal of all thought and, as a corollary, that thought must be based on knowledge. Since knowledge accrues through education, the educative process becomes the basic essential to a successful life. That this has been recognized for many centuries is attested by the philosopher and teacher Pliny the Elder who said: “Man is the only one that knows nothing, that can learn nothing without being taught. . .” May the experiences and contacts that you have had in our school system contribute to your search for Truth and your ultimate success and happiness. R. S. Pollack Superintendent 6 MR. VINCENT ABBATIELLO Assistant Superintendent

MR. HENRY COUNSMAN Principal The world today owes a great deal to the Ancient Greeks. From them came many of our ideas of democracy, our ideas of beauty. From them came much of our learning. Socrates, one of the most famous of the Greek teachers, taught that the greatest good in the world is knowledge. He believed that if a man knows what is right, he will do what is right. Through the efforts of your teachers, you have been led to discover what is right. Treasure that knowledge. Keep it as a guide for a bright and successful future. DR. MARIE PARNELL Vice Principal
