PRINCIPALS 1. Kalton D. Davis Reflecting on the progress of Richburg Central School, we should not forget the administrators who have served as principals during the past twenty years. lVIuch of the work of centralization has been brought about through their untiring efforts. Improvements in educational services rendered to the community and the expansion of the curriculum have most frequently resulted from the stimulus of the principal. During the period from 1926-19-17 five principals have supervised and assisted with our progress. In 1926 Wilfred J. Coyle who had been principal-teacher previous to centralization continued as the first principal in the new building. Many departments were added during his four years: Commercial, Art-lVIusic, Physical Educa- tion. lVIr. Coylels principalship terminated in 1931 when he was appointed District Superintendent of schools of the 3rd Supervisory District of Allegany County, the position which he still holds. Clarence V. Cripps began in the fall of 1931 and remained until 1934. It was during his princi- palship that the school district voted to furnish free textbooks for pupils. The addition to the building was erected at this time. For one year a dental hygienist was engaged. Other departments during this period of development were: Homemaking, Instrumental Music, Part-time Librarian, Full-time lNIusic and Full-time Art. At present Mr. Cripps is manager of the local Red and White store. Next came Louis R. Rosettie who remained until the summer of 1937. During lNIr. Rosetti's principalship the W. P. A. and other Federal projects were numerous and adults availed themselves of the evening classes taught in the building. Among others lVIr. Rosetti taught a class on Current Events. At present he is supervisor of the Bureau of Business Education in the state department at Albany. The first yearbook which was of handbook nature was published in 1935. A Health Department and an Agriculture Department were added. Donald L. Abbey, now principal at Northville Central School, came in September 1937 and served the community well for five years. At this time the seventh and eighth grades from Clarksville dis- trict No. 1 were transported to Richburg and a modern school building, including two grade rooms, gymnasium and kitchen, was erected at Clarksville to accommodate grades one to six. A The Kindergarten Department was added at this time. Karlton D. Davis entered in the fall of 19-12 and still continues as our principal. The educa- tional services promoted during his principalship are: Remedial Reading, Full-tinte Industrial Arts and Guidance on a shared basis with Bolivar, and renewal of Dental Hygienist. Z.
