Dr. Howard Welker Superintendent of Schools Gerald Gerbracht New man in a new environment Dr. Howard Welker became the Superintendent of Schools in the Hamburg School System upon the retiremen. of Mr. Hatten. Dr. Welker, a man of high ideals and standards, proved to be a well-qualified and efficient manager for our public school system. He, along with the Board of Education, made every effort to create the best possible learning conditions within the classroom and the school as a whole. The high standards of the Hamburg Public School System could not be sustained without the influence of a well-qualified and enthusiastic leader. This leader we have found in Dr. Welker. Beyond his duties as superintendent, he takes a personal interest in the student as an individual. For this, we, the students are grateful. Assistant Superintendent of Schools Busy is the adjective one might use when describing our Assistant Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Gerald Ger- bracht. His regular duties vary from the purchasing of books to the transportation program of the students. ln this position, Mr. Gerbracht is in charge of all financial matters for the successful operation of the school system. This year he is administering the school budget which is over eight million dollars. Mr. Gerbracht has held his posi- tion as Assistant Superintendent for Business Affairs of Hamburg Central Schools for seven years, a position which carries a great deal of responsibility. We are grateful to Mr. Gerbracht and the business office staff for their assist- ance to the educational program of our schools.
