Albert B. Jacobs PRINCIPAL Not so long ago you were a young teacher introducing the fundamentals of English, drama, and yearbook to high school students like us. We first got to know you when in 1960 you attained the position of Vice-Principal here at Williamstown High. You were so eager to meet us that we were called down to your office for individual conferences. Now you have worked your way up to the number one position of Principal and have increased your sphere of duties and responsibilities. Not only are you in charge of the overall academic and . . . . . h h 1 activity programs of the school, but you are responsible for making and administrating t e sc oo budget and formulating school policy. Within your realm fall also less publicized functions which ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' h l ff' e and checkin include planning P.T.A. activities, arranging fire drills, running t e genera o ic g student's lockers. We have even seen you take care of students who became ill when the nurse was called away on emergency duties. ' A deep feeling of pride in your accomplishments must accompany your towering obligations for you have contributed much not only to the school but to the students themselves. Your influence has promoted friendly relations among students, faculty, and administration, and it has stimulated the growth of school spirit. We,the Class of'64,recognize the great responsibilities of your position and want you to know that through your leadership we have been inspired to work even more diligently to unlock that intangible door which leads to a successful future. As you have said farewell and God bless you to the graduating classes of years past, now we say farewell and God bless you.

PERI TE DE Clarence B. Morgan Although many of us may not have realized it, we have all been greatly subjected to your influence, for behind the title of Superintendent lies the fact that you have jurisdiction over all of the public schools in Monroe Township. To view a clearer picture of the part you have played in our lives we may focus on some of your responsibilities. You see that all of the schools have an adequate staff and adequate equip- ment. You report to the Board on the educational program in the Township and work with the Board Secretary to designate the appropriation of the funds necessary to operate the schools. You help to see that our teachers are the best and that there are enough of them. You supervise all school programs and personnel. So, by presiding over our school system, you have largely deter- mined the scope of our education. Always working in the interests of the community, you are striving to make this school system the best in the county and in the state. Your plans for the future include the establishment of a true senior high school for grades 10-12, and the reduction of the over-crowded conditions existing in our schools. We,the class of '64, in recognition of your service to us extend to you our deepest appreciation. May success and happiness be your companions throughout life and may God bless you always.

The jobs of our Board of Education are numerous and ever-increasing Not man ' Y students realize the hard work and weighty decisions these men, who serve with- out remuneration, make. At their numerous and lengthy meetings they take into consideration the balancing of the budget, while wrestling the necessity of securing new equipment, hiring the best qualified staff, and alleviating overcrowded classrooms. The list could go on for many pages. We, the Class of 564, salute our Board of Education -- for a job well-done.
