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. Senior Bonnie MacDowe1l confers with Mr. Ciaccio. r.. . .. , TZQE --5,5VfwKJ' K5 fi vi- ,W MR. CHARLES CIA CCIO

Vqw, v . MR. PETER GRIFFIN new Pwwfpalb' ' Mr. Griffin serves a dual purpose as both school administrator and teacher. He is a graduate of St. Michael's College where he received both his BA and MA. Before coming to GCHS Mr. Griffin enjoyed a brief career as a semi-professional baseball player. This experience has made him a fine freshman baseball coach and a valuable friend and assistant to varsity ball players also. Mr. Griffin started as a math teacher at Guilder- land, and became vice-principal last year when Mr. Carlson vacated the position to continue his studies. Currently Mr. Griffin's teaching schedule consists of one Math 13 class, which gives him time to carry out his many new responsibilities. These duties include supervision of attendance, discipline, transportation, and adult education - tasks which make each day a busy one. Guilderland's students find him an understanding adminis- trator and an excellent math teacher. O Guilderland's efficient secretaries skillfully handle the volume of mail which passes through our offices daily, answer phone calls, and keep the school in smooth running order.
