Efforts by a number of students culminated in the 1961-1962 Purdys Central High Student Handbook shown here. Norman Lowe '60 and Susan Vail '58 worked tirelessly to produce an earlier version which was the basis for this one.
This particular publication was the cumulative work of Dale Brabant '61 (Student Council President 1960-61), the 1961-1962 Business Vocational Class, Kathy Brennan '62, & Pier "Peter" Guidi '62 (1961-1962 Student Council President) who spearheaded this particular publication.
The handbook makes for interesting reading... for example: the words to the school song ("Now for Tomorrow") on page 23, and, the unequal requirements for boys and girls to enter the "Varsity Honors Group" shown on Page 19.

Historically, "The SALEMITE Newspaper", a sometimes quarterly publication with the same name as the annual senior class yearbook, gave students and faculty a vehicle of expression and a place for publishing events and news.
In June 1962, "The CLARION" publication first appeared... a name change of the historical "SALEMITE Newspaper". The cover page of the CLARION's first issue (June, 1962, Vol. 1, Number 1) states:
"The CLARION is published quarterly during the regular school year in October, January, March, and June by the same staff which is responsible for the publication of the SALEMITE yearbook."
The first two issues of the Clarion have been discovered. The first (June 1962), published by the last graduating class of Purdys Central High (Class of 1962), the second (December 1962), published by the first graduating class of North Salem High (Class of 1963).
