TR T UL EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM Although dealing more with the grade schools than the high school, Mr. Hardy is still a familiar figure around here. Until the fire this year which destroyed part of the building, his oflice was located in the high school and students often encountered him While passing through the halls. He spoke annually at the pep meetings in the fall and presented the seniors to the school hoard at graduation in the spring. At the end of December, however, Mr. Hardy took a sabbatical leave of absence because of ill health and has been replaced by Mr. Kurtz. IO MR. HARDY SUPERVISINC PRINCIPAL

D INISTR TIO THEY KEEP THE WHEELS PRINCIPAL Always a busy man. Mr. Kurtz suddenly found on the morning of July 6 that his job was doubled in responsibilities and work. He was faced with a school that was onlv partial- ly usable and a larger enrollment of students than before. It was largely due to his dili- gence and hard work that school was able to open on September 2 as planned. It was a difficult task and Mr. Kurtz spent many long hours on it. The beginning of school found him with his usually full schedule coupled with the problems of rebuilding the burned section of the school. Nevertheless. he still took time to help the students with their various prob- lems as they arose. In December he was chosen to replace Mr. Hardy as supervising principal and has continued to work for the betterment of the school. GUIDANCE DIRECTOR To aid the students in choosing their fu- ture careers, Mr. Stump, the former Guidance Director and now principal of Derry Town- ship, gives an aptitude test to all freshmen. In addition, he supervises I. tests that are ad- ministered to sophomores and seniors. Each student in the high school is interviewed by him individually at some time during their four years here. Elected to replace Mr. Kurtz. Mr. Stump took over his new post in Ianuarv. NVhile quite busy with his duties as actingiprincipal. he still finds time to help the pupils with any problem that might arise concerning their plans before and after graduation.
