During this spring's flu epi- emic, Mr. Cioffi covered many teachers’ classes while they were ill. Born in New York, Mr. Cioffi attended military academies in Tennessee and New Jersey before coming to California and San Francisco State. He majored in History and was student body president before going on to a master of science degree at the University of California. In 1934 Mr. Cioffi began teaching in Red Bluff, California. Two years later, he came to Alameda as a teacher at Haight School. Later he held the positions of Haight School vice principal and principal. Before becoming principal of Alameda High in 1964 he was also principal of Longfellow School. For twenty-two years Mr. Cioffi held the summer job as a ranger in Lassen National Park; and at one time he almost quit teaching to become a full time ranger. Mr. Cioffi often finds a deserted hallway awaiting him after a long day. © AAPA aayth tte vied sce arses Lr. Tere o dam ree At a private meeting with Dr. Snell, Mr. Cioffi dwells + gi by a teacher.
