Class Advisers A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY . .. MRS. LOUISE MICHIN 14 When Robert Treat founded Newark in 1666, he immediately set out to advise the people in important matters and to help them think more constructively. His programs were based directly upon efficiency and precise actions. Mr. Treat did not necessarily believe in mixing work with pleasure, but he did believe in working your way to pleasure. In this manner people work even harder than usual so they can enjoy their socializing more fully. Although a great deal is attributed to this great adviser, even more should be said of our senior class advisers, Mrs. Minchin and Mr. Nicholas. We made the plans and they worked with us every day to make sure our activities proved rewarding. Our Junior Prom, because of the good advice we had received proved a great success. Following that event preparations were begun on our winter dance. Once again Mrs. Minchin and Mr. Nicholas kept us going with their helpful advice. Thanks to them we gained another feather for our caps by producing another success. Because of us our advisers never l ad a moment’s rest. They were constantly busy up until a minute before graduation. We could never put into words the thanks we have for these two wonderful people. Mrs. Minchin and Mr. Nicholas, we have enjoyed working with you, as you patiently carried the burdens that accompanied our senior class. Our hearts are filled with gratitude as we say thank you to Mrs. Minchin and Mr. Nicholas. MR. DONALD NICHOLAS

Guidance Counselors The senior year is the most crucial year of high school. We must study sufficiently and adequately so that we will graduate. Our college applications must Ik filled out and senior dues must be paid. Class ratings are considered and jobs must be found. You want to buy your school ring and pictures. Your tension builds up. You often feel discouraged and need assistance in making up your mind. You can’t wait until the final day. Will it ever come? A student is greatly comforted by the fact that we have an excellent guidance department to turn to when we can no longer cope with our problems. Here we found understanding and an answer to our problems. A great deal of strength is gained by the feeling of being understood. Mr. Friedman and Mr. Kapner are the persons who have helped us fill out these college applications, find a job and answer our questions plus solve our problems. They are the ones that were always beside us when we were troubled. Not only did they help solve our school problems but their help was often extended to our family problems. These men understood us and really helped us. They were always considerate, friendly and kind, but most of all they eased the pressure of our challenging senior year. Money could never begin to repay them for their thoughtful deeds. The only thing we can offer them is “thanks and by our future achievements in life, prove to them how greatly we appreciated their guidance. Without the helping hands of these two men we know that this senior year would have been a hard trek through the wilderness, but because of their guiding light the path was more easily traveled. We offer our heartfilled thanks and gratitude for a job well done. MR. IRVING FRIEDMAN MISS ANNE MAZE1KA MR. HERMAN KAPNER
