Among his many duties, Mr. Rothenberger arranges student sched- ules, provides for interesting and varied assemblies, supervises custodial duties, and arranges the cafeteria program. Another important function of our prin- cipal is to coordinate the high school curriculum. Through the observation of different courses, as presented by the faculty, he evaluates the curriculum as well as different teaching methods. Through concentrated and sincere ef- forts, Mr. Rothenberger makes the high school efficient and productive. In addition, our administrator possesses a genuine interest in every school activ- ity and attends most school functions. He is always willing to lend his sup- port and aid wherever it is needed. Among his many interests is athletics. He is a former athlete and at present is a member of the PIAA board. He expresses a friendly attitude toward all students and takes great pride in learn- ing the name of each individual. Recently, Mr. Rothenberger was chosen as one of a small group of school prin- cipals from throughout the nation to participate in a study group to several foreign nations. The main purpose of this trip was to observe the educational systems of these countries, including Russia. Although this project was spon- sored by the federal government, he defrayed his own expenses on this fasci- nating trip, during the spring vacation. 1 Mr. Emerson N. Rothenberger Mr. Glenn 0.
