Yearbook Pays Tribute To Two Fine Men Mr. Charles Kezar readies a booth for his favorite after-school activity, Carnival. The Port Light staff dedicates this yearbook to two outstanding members of the faculty. We salute Mr. George Christopher for his many years of ser- vice with the band, and we salute Mr. Charles Kezar for his work as a teacher and for advising Carnival, which raised $5000 in scholarships for the Class of 1967. Mr. Christopher, band director since 1935, has seen his group become recognized as one of the ten best high school bands in the country. His many other credits include life membership in the Music Educators National Conference and a listing in the Dictionary of International Biography. Since 1940 Mr. Christopher has been Supervisor of Music for the Port Washington Schools, a post in which he will remain although he will no longer direct the band. All music lovers will miss him. Mr. Kezar, who now teaches history, has been teaching in Port Washington since 1936. He has taught English, economics, geography, and jour- nalism, and has served as advisor to the Schreiber Times when it was the Port Weekly. Mr. Kezar became the faculty advisor to Carnival last year when there was talk of terminating the activity. Without an advisor Carnival would not have been continued, and many students of this senior class would not have had the funds to further their education. Mr. Christopher and Mr. Kezar have both served Schreiber long and well. We thank them both and dedicate this yearbook to them in grateful recogni- tion for all they have done. Mr. George Christopher gives the downbeat at one of several thousand band rehearsals he has attended during the past thirty- two years.

Administrators Shape School Policies I escape Mr. Not even the condition of Schreiber’s halls fails to Allen’s attention. The basic spirit of a school often originates with its teachers, and more often, with its principal. Schreiber was indeed fortunate to welcome Mr. Allen, as principal, this year. Although a newcomer to Schreiber, Mr. Allen has been in the Port Wash- ington school system since 1936, and most recently he was principal of Sousa Junior High. Aware of the high quality of learning in our school system, he has tried to instill a greater sense of responsi- bility in all Schreiber students. His leadership, en- thusiasm, and helpful direction enabled all students to best use and benefit from the numerous oppor- tunities which were offered to them. Scanning: the absentee list provides Mr. Berry with a multitude of tasks. This year Schreiber had two assistant principals, Mr. Berry and Mr. Johnson. This was Mr. Johnson’s first year in that position, while Mr. Berry has been assistant principal for the past four years. Both are familiar figures at Schreiber; Mr. Johnson was a guidance counselor and Mr. Berry was an econom- ics teacher. Mr. Berry made great strides in de- creasing pupil absences. Working closely with the teachers, Mr. Johnson was also co-ordinator of the COINS program. 22 A heavy schedule fails to erase Mr. Johnson’s smile.
