Administrators PETER COLLODI Assistant Principal STANLEY N. CURRIER Principal If we are to keep pace with the growth and development of our complex civilization, we cannot afford to be handicapped by fixed atti- tudes and viewpoints. Someone has remarked that our only permanency is change. This being true, our boys and girls should be fore- warned and equipped to make efficiently the adjustments that will be required of them. Wle are concerned with the advancement of the whole child. Our duty lies in trying to dis- cover his interests and abilities, so that we may assist him in the development of his physical body, his social philosophy, and his plans for the future. Offering courses leading toward and preparing for continuing education is our most important objective.

As of November 3, 1959, a new School Board was elected, with the exception of one office, treasurer. The new officers are james J. Bailey, president, Dr. James R. Likens, vice-president, John Lysohir, Jr., secretary, and Francis J. Claf- fey, still serving as treasurer. Harvey E. Moore serves as school board solicitor. The School Board has many difficult tasks. Among them, the most important is setting the policies of the Sharon School District. The , board must consider the likes and dislikes of all those concerned as well as what is best for the students, and their ability to make the most of the program. It must also appropriate money for the operation of the school and approve all expenditures of schools in the district.

We can thank this organization for the smooth operation HARRY RUSSELL of the schools of the Sharon School District. Superintendent of Schools Board of Educatlon Seated: Francis J.
