G .-,- .--.-vv- JU , F 977120 J. cfm, 'l77q9Jw, l Instead of confining these remarks to the usual chronological resume of our high school principal's preparation, he has requested the Freeportian Staff to mention what has been done for him and what he would like to do. Our principal, Mr. Harold J. Bush, feels that through the years he has had many fine teachers who by word and example taught a great deal more than that which was printed in the text- book. Among those teachers to whom he wishes to pay tribute are Mr. M. B. Artman, grades 5 and 6, Allegheny Twp., Mr. Andrew Meek, Alle- gheny Twp. High School, Professor Guy Brad- shaw and Dr. H. G. Gebert, Thiel College, Dr. Frank Koos, Penn State, and Dr. Maurice Thomas of Pitt. Our supervising principal, Mr. F. L. Myers, is rounding out his fifth year as head of our public school system. He is beginning to feel like a veteran, since most of his predecessors re- mained in the position only two or three years. In 1948, Mr. Myers guided the formation of the Freeport Area Joint Schools. This move more than doubled the number of teachers and students under his supervision and brought with it many problems, some of which still remain to be solved. His attention now is centered in plans for new elementary school buildings in South Buffalo Township and in Freeport Bor- ough, and an addition to the present school at Sarver. When these have been carried out, the rooms now used for elementary classes will be adopted to high school purposes. A health room, a teacher's lounge, an activity room, additional office space, and some extra class rooms will be provided for us. In the future, he hopes that a new gymnasium can be built so that the present one may be used for a much needed cafeteria. We seniors won't be here as students when Mr. Myer's plans materialize but we certainly wish him lots of success. Mr. Myers had considerable administrative experience in public school work before coming to Freeport. He received his bachelor of arts degree from Juniata College and his Master of education degree from Penn State. He has also done graduate study at the University of Pitts- burgh. vm. alma 9. am Mr. Bush finds little difficulty in locating other influences that have directed his interests to education, inasmuch as two older brothers and two older sisters have all taught at one time or other, Mrs. Bush was likewise a teacher. In addition to his ten years of high school teaching, our principal is grateful for some earlier experience as a school bus driver and as teacher in a one-room rural school. His current wish is that he may assist with the improvement of Freeport's program through the provision of more rooms, the introduction of new courses such as driver education, machine shop, and remedial reading, the inauguration of a cafeteria, and an accrediting by the Middle States Association.
