Disbnld MR, ALTON FARNS WORTH The development of the Guilderland Central School District since its 1950 organization has taken several di rections. Most obvious has been the growth in number X of students, buildings and staff. With almost 5, 000 stu- dents and with a seventh building at Lynnwood Elemen- H JA tary School now in construction, this growth has been Nye-'-ff'w'rg recognized by the people.of Guilderland. Changes not so easily seen but probably of more importance have been in the areas of curriculum development and evaluation. The Board of Education serves the district as a policy- making unit with the Superintendent of Schools as the chief executive officer. The Board is informed of curric- ulum affairs and administrative matters at monthly meetings. It is the primary -duty of the Superintendent to coor- dinate the work of administrative, professional and non- professional staff to assure an effective educational pro- gram. 8 'QS' ,,

Ptaapat Mr. Ciaccio has had a long career in educational service. He began as the chairman of the department of citizenship education at Camden Central, Camden, New York in 1950. Three years later, he came to Gui1derland's predecessor, Altamont High School, as a social studies teacher and depart- ment chairman. In 1956 he moved to the assistant principal's job, and in 1960 he became principal of Guilderland. Mr. Ciaccio received his AB from Hobart College and his MA from New York University. Extensive work at SUNY at Albany accompanied his teacher and administrator certification. Mr. Ciaccio is a friend to all students and an excellent principal of GCHS. 's- Massage During his lifetime, each of us is in search of a personality. We try to pattern ourselves and our behavior after someonewe admire. This is called role playing. We try out our new roles in hopes of finding ourselves, or finding a role that fits. In essence, we try on many masks in an effort to find one to present to the outside world. Some people never get over this role playing usually associated with the young adult. They never quite find out who they are or what they want. Sometimes we encolmter the adolescent adult--the person who, although older, continues the same erratic behavior patterns of the teenager, in a never ending search to find himself. The fads and fancies of one day are the curiosities of the next. Their values are superficial and temporary. When your time for role playing arrives, try the roles of kindness, hope, understanding, and love in your search for a lasting personality.
