76 Bison Dedicated to Mr. Mallory Mr. D.A. Mallory. Superintendent of Schools 1944-1976 It doesn't seem that 32 years will soon have passed since I moved my family to Buffalo, as the NEW Superintendent of Schools. July 1,1944. To attempt to list 32 years of events, change, successes, fail- ures. high points, low ebbs, etc., in all areas of our society in this brief space would be folly. This time saw the termination of World War II and the brutality of two other major conflicts since that time, with all the tremendous changes they brought to all people throughout the world. As 1 come to the close of my responsibilities as your superintendent of schools. I do so with deep gratitude for many things: the dedicated support you have given me the thousands of fine youth I've been privileged to serve the many hundreds of graduates dedicated to service in their chosen fields the thousands of friendships my family and I have made among you the educational opportunities this area has given my children and yours These are only a part of the many reasons I am thankful. In this last book in which it will be my opportunity to write I want to express my gratitude to those you chose to serve education as members of the Board of Education. Many of them now are gone. The names of those deceased are indicated with an asterisk. On the Board that brought me here 32 years ago were: Phi 11 Hawkins Dr. W. L. Woody L.B. Jones Bert Neill Glenn Thomas C.A. Bonner The present Board: Harold Morgans Deraid Henderson Ernie Mayfield Vernon Viets Dr. Charles E. Moore Ed Garrison In between the first board and last one I've served were: Murrell Indermuehle Owen Neill Jim Peters Dr. D.D. Church Tom Pachl Ray Bennett Floyd Reset Ward Rea James Hawkins Keith Kendall Ishmael McDaniel Hadley Thomas To all these men the community is indebted. Their total interest as members of the Board of Ed- ucation was directed toward the educational welfare of the child. 1 am grateful for them and the ser- vice they rendered The educational leadership of this fine school system from July 1. 1976 will be in excellent hands. Mr. Jack Howard, in my opinion is well trained, experienced and dedicated to his profession educational administration. To Mr. Howard, and the rest of the administration, to the teachers, students, and entire community I wish the best and will always support my school in every way. Dr. O.A.
