G UID A N C E Your door has never had n chance to be closed this ear. It mn ' has always been open to the present classes with probrems of future ears. True education takes in the whole aggregate of human life, physical and spiritual, intellectual and moral, indi- vidual, domestic and social, not with a view of reducing it in any way, but in order to evaluate, regulate, and perfect. Such has been your relationship to us. To us, Mr. Duncan, you will not be iust the guidance director , but friend and close companion. 1 PRINCIPAL MR. CONRAD It was you Mr. Conrad, our principal, who turned the key and opened the door to our high school days, to intellectual paths yet unknown to us, and challenging opportunities in the fields of sports, social activities, and countless other co- curricular events. We know that we act foolish and childish and often be- tray the confidence put in us, but we are trying to grow intel- lectually and spiritually, and so often it entails many struggles and much house cleaning to remove the vestiges of adolescence from our make-up. For the interest that you take in our activities, for the pride in us when we do accom- plish something ood, for your prayers that have seen many of us through difficult times, for the hours of help given out- side of class plus a million other wonderful things, we thank you and hope that in the future we can repay in a small way all your time and love when we proudly say, l'm from Alden , and mirror to a small degree the things that have been taught us here, and the example that has been given us. GRADE PRINCIPAL MR. TRIPPE Mr. Trippe opened the door to our high school years. As a teacher, he was well liked by all the students. His appoint- ment in 'I948 as the Elementary School Principal met with ap- proval from everyone. Mr. Trippe is more than well qualified for the position he now holds, hav- ing graduated from Fredonia and Buffalo State Teachers Col- leges.

P. T. A. OFFICERS P. T. A. The P. T. A. is a most vital organization of Alden Central School. For it is here that parents and teachers can discuss mutual problems. Guest speakers and panel discus- sions have aided in finding the solution to many of these problems. One of the projects undertaken by the P.T.A. was safety. The organization purchased the pair of signal lights on Crittenden Road. BOARD OF EDUCATION This Board consists of seven members, a clerk, and an attorney. lt has charge of building new schools, making up the school budget, and hiring teachers. lt is the governing body of all school affairs.
