ROBERT T. Howa MILFORD I-I. PRATT F. MAxsoN CLARKE R. s., A. M. A. rs., A, M. B. s. Vice-Principal Principal Grade Supervisor FACULTY Barker Central School is indeed proud of the men and women who are num- bered on its faculty, and of its various other employees, who, as a group, are responsi- ble for the actual direction and supervision of school life. These people have come to us from many schools, colleges and various fields of activity and experience. They have been chosen because of the various specialized and general training and back- ground they have experienced. They have been chosen, furthermore, because of innate personal qualifications that blend in with these experiences to make of them men and women capable of the best types of instruction and the most worthy lead- ership. The common goal of this entire group of workers has been the development, the expansion, and the improvement of the curriculum, the activities, and the general morale of our school. As a result of their activities, Barker Central School has to its credit an academic record that exceeds 9596, a curricular offering of subject material exceeded by few schools in the whole state of New York, and an extra curricular program of some 30 activities in the junior, senior high school. Students, parents and friends will find faculty members ever arranging teas and class parties for students and for parents, ever sponsoring public programs and night school oppor- tunities for the benefit of the community, and interested in opportunities for making home contacts and knowing more of the people they serve and the problems they may or may not be facing. In return, our faculty has been happy in doing this because of the sympathetic understanding and the generous cooperation that it has rcceived from students. parents and the entire adult community. While strenuous and exacting, the work has been pleasant because of the conditions under which they have worked and the community with which they have worked. ln return we trust the results may have been gratifying to all concerned. May we all, students, parents, friends and faculty, look forward to a future as pleasant as has been the past. l ny
