Dr. Shafer smiles good morning. Mr. Barrett Not only were we given a new school this year, but also a new principal. Mr. David R. Barrett, III received his bachelor's degree in music from Boston University's School of Fine Arts. He did graduate work at the University of Pennsylvania and the Uni- versity of Connecticut, receiving a master's degree in Education and Administration. He is now working for his doctor's degree in Ed- ucation and Administration at Lehigh Uni- versity. Mr. Barrett taught music theory and composition and mathematics in Vermont. He also taught music theory and composition in West Chester, Pennsylvania. He became administrative assistant at the junior-senior high school. Some of his hobbies are hunt- ing and playing the piano. Aca CIIIICS DF. Sllalnel' It is somewhat trite to say that the fourth R of education is Responsibility Never- theless, there is probably no more basic good that I might wish for you as an outcome of your education. How well educated is the young man or young woman who assumes no personal re- sponsibility for the success of his class, the reputation of his school, the public image of his generation? Surely there is something lacking in the training of the individual who refuses to assume his personal responsibility for good government, for law enforcement, for the defense of decency and freedom at home and abroad. I salute the Wyomissing student who makes a personal commitment to the fourth R of education! B. HENRY SHAFER. Mr. Barrett counsels Mike Cafurello.

Perhaps the best adjective to describe the School Boarcl's activities this past year is pro- gressive. The dedication of the new high school marked not only a new era for Wyomissing's school system, but also the beginning of a busy session for the Board. Physical improvements were not limited to the high school. An ad- dition, consisting of six classrooms and a library, was decided upon for the Wyomissing Hills Ele- mentary School, together with plans for further renovations. External improvements are now under way. lnternal changes are yet to come. The Board has approved plans for next year's program of studies. Scheduled is the introduction of a modular cur- riculum, homogeneous grouping, and team teach- ing.
