the fruits of success Assistant Superintenclents Mr. Harry Erickson . 1 1. ,K i , . Vrrr , Miss Joan Miller Mrs. Louise Said One of the most important and difficult positions in the Hamburg Central Schools is that of the Assist- ant Superintendent. Mr, Harry Erickson has capably handled the growing needs of the office. He must allocate all of the funds to meet the needs of the entire system, which includes cafeteria costs, payroll, buses, books and many others. Mr. Erickson has been in the Hamburg school system for many years, and experience as a teacher, principal and Elementary Supervisor has helped him do a very fine job. We hope he will continue to help guide our school system through many more successful years. Midway through this past year, Mr. Gerald Gerbracht returned to us from Albany to take up once again, along with Mr. Erickson, the duties of Assistant Superintendent. His two previous years of experience in this position, together with his familiar- ity with students as a former classroom teacher and assistant principal, make him a welcome addition to our administrative staff. Mr. Gerbracht, in addition to his local activities, has been a member of the Western New York Association of School Board Officials, through which he obtained ideas for the better management of Hamburg Central School District No. 1 in its centennial year.

l Mr. Harry Hatten led oth ers to Superintendent Mr. Harry H. Hatten met the challenges and vast responsibilities connected with his office as superintendent of the entire school system. His guidance, leadership, and actions proved rewarding and benefi- cial to every student and faculty member. Mr. Hatten coordinated ideas and resolu- tions in conjunction with the Board of Education, and probably every facet of academic importance was influenced by his sound judgment. Our school system has achieved its high standards with the assistance of this de- voted and unselnsh man. It is not an easy job to have the major responsibility of providing leadership for an academic es- tablishment, nor is it at all times pleasant. Yet, our superintendent gave of himself and his time generously, for he realizes the importance of education in todayls rapidly changing world. It is an esteemed school system over which Mr. Hatten presides. All students in Hamburg can be proud of what the schools have to offer, and with an unself- ish man like Mr. Hatten to assist us, we can be certain of the very best opportuni- ties in education.
