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.
