 Pat” The one who seems always to have the answers in regard to rules and laws of the State Department — a master in school finances----the pilot light for the Board in future planning-----has an unfailing memory of past actions of the Board------keeps us all happy and busy at meetings far into the night, but he can't keep his pipe lit. Very respectfully yours, Stewart J. Coats To Mr. It is with a keen sense of personal regret that I face the fact that you are about to leave the po t you have filled so ably as supervising principal of the Odessa-Montour Central School for the past fourteen years. During that time, enrollment has increased from 701 to 1,412, number of teachers from 35 to 72, and four school districts have been added. You have directed two building expansion programs, a modern broadening of the curriculum, and you have efficiently administered the annual school budget which has grown from $134,855.57 to $753,108.19. It has been my very real pleasure to have worked closely with you as a fellow superintendent, and since 1947 as principal. I want to compliment you upon your strong personal traits of determination, tact, and sense of fairness. I appreciate deeply your spirit of cooperation and your warm personal friendship, and I wish the best of everything to you in your new endeavors. Irving D. Goodrich Mr. Pattington: I am very pleased to have this opportunity of writing on this page of the ODES- SANEAN my sincere appreciation for all you have done to guide and supervise our school and students for the past fourteen years. To me it has been a high privilege to serve on the Board of Education and to see at first hand how capably and smoothly you have met the problems of our fast-growing school districts. I am proud of the fine teaching staff and educational facilities you have directed so effectively for the benefit of our young people and for all you have done to make our school such a fine civic and social center in our community. My warmest wishes for health and happiness in your well-earned retirement. George Hoffman 6
