l l After 43 Yrs ln County Service bxplanation of this year's schedule changes is the reason for this conference between the guidance counsellors, Mr. Harold McGraw and Mr. Robert Crumbaugh, and Mr. Schluderberg. Mr. Schluderberg's service as an administrator did not negin at Milford, however. From 1946 to 1949 he was prin- lipal of Dundalk Senior High School, and after 1920 held he same capacity in the Dundalk Elementary and Junior High ichools. These positions succeeded 5 years as a teacher: tis first experiences began in 1915 at the one room, six-grade, ingle teacher, elementary school, Mt. Carmel: in 1917 he in- tructed in a two teacher elementary school at Hereford. With these positions as background, Mr. Schluderberg was urepared for the leading role he was to assume in the county chool system. On this level his colleagues recognized his :bility by electing him chairman of the Secondary School 'rincipal's Association, first president of the School Man's Elub and president and treasurer of the Teachers' Association if Baltimore County. On the state level he has been chair- 1an of the State Elementary School Principal's Association. lehind these positions are years of challenging and produc- 've service on evaluation committees for the Middle States ssociation, in workshops for curriculum revision, and on adership training committees for the Teachers' Association if Baltimore County. Outstanding in these areas is his work in the Committee for the Superior and Gifted student in ialtimore County, where he initiated the work by successfully 'iaugurating this program in his own school. In this, a short sting of his accomplishments, the positions illustrate not only he respect others have for him but his unquestionable wil- ngness to give time above and beyond the call of duty to 'nprove education in the county. With the faculty and his other colleagues, Mr. Schluder- erg has exhibited his influence as an enthusiastic and hard- 'orking advocate of better education. Yet, equally important his manner of showing a personal concern for every student New techniques for teaching world history are discussed by Mr. Schluder- berg, Mr. Joseph Hillyard, and Miss Thelma Wisner. he supervises. Not only has he arranged every individual schedule, but he has greeted each new entrant with the assurance that no one will leave the school without every available resource having been used to help him. Few stu- dents will forget his hand on their shoulder as he asked How are things this week? Further evidence of his genuine interest in young people and their activities is the fact that whether on duty or not he has attended all extra-curricular functions-and enioyed them! Realizing, too, that secondary education is iust the beginning for half of his student body, he has chaired the committee selecting the recipients of both the Sarah E. Richmond Student Loan of the State Teacher's College and the Clarence G. Cooper Memorial Scholarship Fund of Teacher's Association of Baltimore County. Perhaps it is the real understanding of and close contact with his students that have made Mr. Schluderberg so able to plan for their needs. Working with the faculty, fellow colleagues and the stu- dent body, Mr. Schluderberg has had a drive, zeal, and under- standing for educational matters that has radiated to others, producing fruitful results wherever it has fallen. A review of his accomplishments makes it even more obvious that he has been a capable administrator, a dedicated educator and, above all, an outstanding leader. He is a man who has earned through a life of service the name Dean of Baltimore County Principals.

Principal G. Schluderberg Retires After this yearbook had gone to press, Mr. George Schluderberg, our principal, announced his plans for retire- ment at the end of this school year. Such an announcement could not go without notice, for it indicated the approaching culmination of forty-three years of unwavering and complete service to mankind through education. A man who had in- fluenced, by his untiring efforts, every facet of education in Baltimore County-teaching, administration, evaluation, curri- cula revision-was at last going to enioy a richly deserved life of retirement. At Milford Mr. Schluderberg has gained the most admira- tion because of his success in building the eleven year-old school to its present position in the county. Guiding the de- velopment from a school population of 750 to 2,200, watching the area change from rural to suburban, and handling two periods of double session and one of construction of the eleven room addition, Mr. Schluderberg has changed the school program to meet the growing needs without substantially Evaluation of the pupils' response as well as the teacher's methods help Mr. George Schluderberg to aid the faculty. Research for one of many speeches takes Mr. Schluderberg into the school library. altering the school philosophy developed by the teachers when the school opened in 1949. Through the years of transition he has kept abreast of educational developments, utilizing the best of the new and maintaining the worthwhile of the old. He has asked nothing of his staff that 'he has not done or would not do himself. He has demonstrated his efficiency in the improvement of instruction by his re- peated success in transforming relatively weak teachers into valuable, dynamic ones through his personal interest. Supervisors and principals in the county, including James B. O'Toole, Helen Hale and Anna Meeks, worked under him either as students or teachers. The enthusiastic spirit among Milford's faculty is a final testimony to this man's capability as an administrator. lunch-time is the setting for this consultation with County Supervisor of Social Studies Joseph Hillyard.
