Mr. Keim's opinion of Central Dauphin is, A school that doesn't take a back seat anywhere. The problems of Central Dauphin fall on the shoulders of these four men. One of the most important jobs in our high school, that of Assistant Principal, has been held by Mr. Landis for the last two years. Some of his main duties are that of absenteeism, preparation of eli- gibility sheets for sports, securing substitutes for teachers who might be absent, and arranging meeting places and times for various activities. This past summer he prepared the entire schedule for the high school, in the absence of Dr. Thomas Jenkins, who had resigned.

Genfraf fDau,0 12 Dr. Davies has had a great deal of experience in the field of education. His first job was as a teacher in jay Township, Elk County, Pennsylvania. Later he was appointed principal there and then supervising principal. After sewing three years in the navy during World War II, he returned to teaching in Perry Township, Fayette County. He was also an athletic coach there. Next he went to Brookville, Pennsylvania, where he was principal. Then he left for Millersburg as supervising principal. From there he came to Central Dauphin. Dr. Davies earned his Bachelor of Arts, his Masters, and his Doctor's de- gree at the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Davies believes that the students and employees of the Central Dauphin Joint Schools are a part of a system of which we can all be proud. Excep- tionally fine facilities have been provided by the seven cooperating districts in an attempt to develop a high quality school program. Physical facilities, materials of instruction and an atmosphere conducive to good teaching and learning contribute to this end, but, in the final analysis an able, professionally minded, hard working teaching staff and a serious minded, willing student body will be the measure of success of any school. I believe that we are facing in the right direction. How far we go depends upon a continuation of the prevailing spirit of co- operation and the desire of each teacher and student to make this school system the best in the Commonwealth and his or her class the best in the school. It's one of the best. I am very proud of it and proud to be a part of it, says Central Dauphin's new principal, Mr. Baldwin. Mr. Baldwin earned his Bachelor of Arts degree at Albright College and his M.A. at Pennsylvania State University where he is now working on his doctorate. Starting his career at Swatara High School, Mr. Baldwin taught chemistry and physics, in addition to coaching the track and baseball teams. In a few years he was promoted to Swatara's principalship, a position which he held for fifteen years. Central Dauphin welcomed him as its principal in September of 1958. In addition to an extensive interest in sport, Mr. Baldwin finds time to devote to his leisure activities of gardening and working on model trains. Gary, Mr. Baldwin's son, is a student at Drexel Institute of Technology. 72
