U IlDI5THIET 5 PEHI TE DE T All through the years the superintendent of the schools in this area of Genesee Coun- ty, Mr. George Barber, has played a liaison role between the State Education Department and the Administration of O.A.C.S. From his office in Batavia, Mr. Barber works for the betterment of the area schools. lt was he who introduced and initiated the idea of centralization to us. Showing a real interest in the students, he has made frequent visits to our school, has spoken to us in assembly, and enjoys listen- in to our problems. gfhe interest he has shown was demon- strated last year when he taught the English classes for a few days. The students, as well as Mr. Barber, enjoyed this experience. The Oakfield-Alabama Central School has completed its first two years under its new administrative system. An enriched cur- riculum of studies and activities is under way Many educational possibilities still re- maln to be developed. This development will necessitate the close cooperation of the com- munity, the administration, the teachers, the upxls, and all personnel of the organization. his IS the only way in which the school may become all that we have envisioned for -C.

Bless the days that saw us young, And the years that make us wise,' when the members of the high school faculty carry on from where the elementary teachers have left off, still developing young minds into intelligent members of this nation and expanding their horizons of thought and experience. Greater realization of the responsibility of an individual in a democracy, maturity of judgment, opportu- nities for self-expression, both in speech and writing, and preparation for further study, for work, and for real living, are net results of our contacts with teachers in our secondary school years. ll D PXUIULTY , ?J
