Mr. Harry Hatten Superintendents Behind the student scene is Mr. Harry Erickson, who has an important part in the functioning of our school. His official title is Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Personnel. In this capacity he oversees all in-service courses and federally funded programs. Mr. Erickson also supervises the recruitment of personnel for the district and the observation and evaluation of teachers. We are grate- ful for the dedicated work he performed during this past year. Mr. Harry Erickson Dedication and Work While going through his own schooling, Mr. Harry H. Hatten saw many things that needed change in the educa- tional process. He took on the challenge of improving this system, not for himself, but for the generations to come. Mr. Hatten is the kind of man who does not wait for changes to come about, he reaches out and makes tomor- row's reforms a reality. Yet each and every decision is carefully weighed and all aspects, good and bad, are studied. Many students have found that Mr. Hatten's door is open to them for his guidance and help. He knows there is another generation with different approaches to prob- lems and beliefs and he is trying hard to bridge this generation gap, and to understand and solve the problems which have arisen because of it. Mr. Gerald Gebracht As the Assistant Superintendent for Business Affairs, Mr. Gerald Gerbracht's varied responsibilities range from the purchasing of books and supplies to the supervision of the school transportation program. Mr. Gerbracht holds the overall financial responsibility for the successful opera- tion of seven schools with 5600 students and 500 em- ployees. With his past membership on the Western New York Association of School Board Officials and his lively interest in students, Mr. Gerbracht is indeed a great asset to the Hamburg Central School System.
