SEPTEMBER TO JUNE by Russell F. Stryker. Acting Director The past year has been marked by certain changes in Townsend Harris. Mr. Stein has replaced Professor D ' Andrea in the Art Depart- ment, and Dr. Krakower has come from the college to fill the position of Supervisor of Physical Training left vacant by the death of Dr. Goss. Mr. Gaudin has been added to the staff of the Department of Ro- mance Languages. Mr. Stryker has served as Acting Director during Professor Falion ' s leave of absence. The course of study has been modified by the introduction of Social Science as a Lower C subject and by a rearrangement of the Art course. Increasing use has been made of the local museums to supplement the work in various subjects. The Department of History has shown flms weekly during the Spring term and has sponsored a series of visits to municipal institutions. In November Open School Week brought many parents to the school. Again at the commencement exercises in the Great Hall of the City College the attendance was unusually large. On this occasion the Acting Director was able to announce the establishment of a new record in the Regents ' examinations. The extra-curricular activities of the school under the guidance of the G. O. Council have received excellent support from the stu- dent body. Under our new eligibility rules, which correspond to those of the P. S. A. L., more students have been free to participate. Inter- school competition has brought gratifying results, especially in basket- ball, chess, and the city-wide Latin Vocabulary Contest. Outstanding among club achievements was the Dramatic Society ' s presentation of Charley ' s Aunt. The various classes have conducted successful functions. It has again been possible to have our own orchestra at assemblies. The Stadium has given a full account of the school news here summarized; of the excellence of The Crimson and Gold you who read this book may judge. SIX
