He is now Assistant Superintendent of Schools, bringing to a close his first year in that position. Under his direction comes the placement of teachers. At present he is working on a revision ofthe curriculum ofthe elementary schools. When this is finished, similar steps will be taken for the junior and Senior High Schools. Through the creation of this office of assistant, the superintendent is relieved of the personnel work and can give his time and efforts to the many other routine activities.

S UPERIN TENDEN T D J KELLY Dr. D. Kelly, as Superintendent of Schools has served Bingham- ton well for the past quarter of a century. Many new and varied oppor- tunities are offered to North High students. Dr. Kelly has worked hard to effect these changes in the curriculum. He realizes what a limited op- portunity is, for he taught first in a two-room school. Approximately one school has been built each year of his service as superintendent, the last of these being North High. When Dr. Kelly plans a school he takes thought and deliberation so that the product is a beautiful, worthwhile, and adequate structure. Dogs have always been Dr. Kelly's hobby. At the present time he owns a beautiful dog, jim, with which he is pictured. Besides, he is an excellent rider--his favorite sport being hunting. One of the clubs to which he belongs owns a large tract of land that is utilized as hunt- ing and fishing preserve. In addition to hunting, Dr. Kelly also likes camping as a hobby. Is it any wonder then that everyone thinks ofDr. Kelly as a good sport ?
