The History section is lifted word-for-word from the NNYC website. The article on the website says it was authored by Suzanne Harness in 1992, who is not mentioned.

Other sources for the history mentioned by Harness is yearbooks, and a conversation with Bud Dick, who is mentioned as an instructor but not credited for his interview.
