Superintendent I' l 1 1 L L e 4 5 Q Dr. JAMES S. ACKELSON JR. Keystone Oaks extends its welcome to one of its newest members, Dr. Ackelson, who joined the district July, 1966, as super- intendent. The former superintendent of Avalon Borough, he obtained his bachelor's degree from Edinboro State College and his masters and doctorate at the University of Pittsburgh. As the executive officer of the school district, it is Dr. Ackelson's duty to see that the legislative policies of the School Board are carried out. Being in closer con- tact with students and faculty, he also makes many recommendations to the Board. His greatest problem in the last year has been to create uniformity among the three old districts. He is looking forward to future adventures in developing the potentialities of the school system with the assets of the new high school and the possibility of comput- erized courses.

Principal MR. MICHAEL A. BABYAK Keystone Oaks is most for- tunate to be served by such an efficient office staff ..Mrs .Brobeck and newcomer Mrs. Dent, both secretaries, and Receptionist Miss Mills are faced daily with a great work load which involves keeping attendance and student records, handling the school's bulging correspondence, greeting tardy students and visitors, and manning the switchboard. They are helped in their work by stu- dent assistants. Faced with one of the world's toughest jobs, that of principal, is Mr. Michael Babyak. It is up to him to see that the school is running smoothly as he acts as a liason between his capable fac- ulty and over a ,thousand stu- dents, each with own particular needs and problems. Mr. Babyak is called upon to preside at many functions and to address various assemblies throughout the year. He also bears the great responsi- bility of recommending students for college admission and job appointments. In a pinch, Mr. Babyak can even be found sub- stituting for an ailing teacher.
