Recognizing a need for an informed and aware faculty, Academy teachers keep abreast of the latest innovations in education. During the summer of 1968, a large percentage of our faculty enrolled in summer schools in diverse parts of the country to obtain credits toward graduate degrees. Others traveled at home and abroad to enlarge their horizons. Among the schools they attended were the University of Arizona, the University of Minnesota, Purdue, Edinboro, Gannon, Penn State, Western Reserve, the University of Michi- gan, and California State Teachers. Mr. Cable, new at Academy this year, just completed a 2-year stint with the Peace Corps in Chile. Good teachers naturally stress the necessity of active involvement in community life. Academy teachers are active in the Erie Civic Theater, the Erie Art Center, P.S.E.A., A.F.T., and other community groups.

Welcome to Academy We are proud and happy to welcome to our school Bertha Blau, newly-appointed assistant principal. A graduate of Academy High, a former Lion’s cheer- leader, and the mother of two Academy alumni, Mrs. Blau's strong desire to maintain the high standards of our school is a genuine one. Our new administrative assistant comes to us with a solid background of experience in the classroom and in the area of administration. Matching her educa- tional attainments, however, are her equally superior accomplishments as a concert violinist and pianist. It is our wish that Mrs. Blau’s tenure at Academy will be as satisfying as it is challenging. Mrs. Blau Assistant Principal Faculty and Administration combine Michael Ferrare Principal Donald DeNardo Assistant Principal 20
