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.

to lifes threshold . Assistant Principal To be an assistant principal of a large high school, one has to have a genuine interest in young people and their activi- ties. Lloyd Jafyne, our vice-principal, has always been active in helping young people. After graduating from Hamilton College, he began his career in Holland, New York as a math and science teacher. Later, he became a member of our Hamburg High School faculty. He taught physics and chemistry in the classroom and coached football and basketball after school. These activities gave him a chance to work with students in all types of situations and to help them build qualities of friendship, cooperation and sportsmanship. After many years of contributing to the teaching field, he was promoted to the ofiice he now holds as assistant principal. Here he has received a different view of helping youth through administration and discipline. Mr. Jayne has a keen interest in the out-of-doors, and all sports. Some of his favorites are golf, fishing, and football. He also spends many hours in his rose garden and playing the piano. Mr. Jayne has many interests and ex- periences which enable him to understand and share the outlooks and problems of todayis youth. ifiesszs Mr. Lloyd Jayne r.-an Mr. Ravel, Mrs. Beck Mrs. Ruth Horton Secretary 17 Mr. Jayne
