Professor Marcks and his secretary examine bids for the construction of the new building Back in 1909 Mr. Frederick A. Marcks, our superintendent, came to Nazareth as a teacher of German, English, and Physics in high school. The following year, 1910, he was elected principal of Nazareth High School and served in that position for five years. In 1915 he was elected to the position of supervising principal. When Nazareth became a third class independent dis¬ trict in 1937, Mr. Marcks was chosen to be the District Superintendent. Then when the six-district jointure was formed in 1950, Mr. Marcks became the Superintendent of the Nazareth Area Joint High School as well as District Superintendent of the Nazareth Borough Schools. During the more than forty years that Mr. Marcks has been associated with the Nazareth Public Schools, his lib¬ eral and progressive policies have been instrumental in enlarging the educational opportunities thru curriculum enrichment and his foresight has made possible, at the least cost to the district, adequate physical enlargement to meet the ever-increasing enrollment. The Nazareth Public Schools owe much to his unobtru¬ sive approach, his unselfish devotion, and the diplomacy with which he has co-ordinated the school board and faculty efforts in developing and improving both the Bor¬ ough Schools and the Joint Area High Schools. Mr. Graver came to the Nazareth Area Senior High School in January of 1949. In that same year the Senior High School was evaluated by a committee of the Middle States Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges and was again placed on the list of approved high schools. Mr. Graver was awarded a doctor ' s degree in School Administration and History by Rutgers University in Octo¬ ber of 1953. He was elected President of the Lehigh Con¬ ference of Secondary School Principals in June 1953. Dr. Graver and his secretary, Mrs. Doyle, discuss a schedule problem 5

Unangst, Nazareth Back in the spring of 1950, the Nazareth Area Joint High School Board came into existence after an agreement had been approved and signed between representatives of Nazareth Borough, Bushkill Town¬ ship, Lower Nazareth Township, Stockert own Borough, Tatamy Borough, and Upper Nazareth Township. The primary purpose in forming the Joint Board was to provide by co-operative effort more and bet¬ ter secondary school facilities for the students in this area. Planning for a new high school building was be¬ gun almost immediately after the formation of the jointure and, thru the splendid co-operative efforts of the various districts of the jointure, the results of that planning are being realized in the building pres¬ ently being erected. li lazaret li Slrea rfoint Sc ho Are ° Bushkill Township Vincent Altemose Robert E.
