Mr. Emerson N. Rothenberger, princi- pal of Mt. Penn High School directs and organizes the educational facilities and activities of our junior-senior high school. 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.

Policies To Be Followed The Board of Education is the school system's govern- ing body. The ten-member team represents the taxpay- ers who support our school district. The joint system is composed of five members from Lower-Alsace and five members from Mt. Penn. Sep- arately, the two boards operate the tax rates in their respective areas and meet together in joint sessions to supervise the functions of the school, and vote upon proposals concerning the activities of the schools in the school district. Board committees propose bills and discuss possible im- provements for the numerous school activities. All ten members serve on these committees and insure the smoothest operation of the school system. On December 15, the joint board elected an Interim Operating Committee of nine members, who prepared the 1966-67 budget and set the tax rate. The purpose of this committee is to carry out board transactions during the period of transition. July 1, 1966, will mark the establishing of the jointure as a state-mandated union district. The Interim Com- mittee will become the Board of the new Antietam School District. Secretary Mrs S.
