Oxford Academy Central High School - Blackhawk Yearbook (Oxford, NY)

ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY The story opens with the administration and faculty, the main characters in school life. With- out their guidance and judgment, education would be impossible. In the administration wing we see the princi - pals, secretaries, teachers and guidance coun- selers who form the nucleus of the school. During the day we can observe them working to make school operations run smoothly. To us they are our inspiration and symbols for the future.

Mr. Tinker Leads Oxford Academy to Greater Heights Great opportunities will be available to Oxford students under the Federal Aid to Education Act. Mr. Fred Tinker, the supervising principal, has spent innumer- able hours of labor on this program. The paper work alone would discourage lesser individuals, but Mr. Tinker doesn't com- plain about the added responsibility. As a matter of fact, he is still able to smile! The benefits to be derived from this proj - ect will make the effort worth-while, and we sincerely thank Mr. Tinker for this endeavor. Oxford Academy Welcomes Mr. Laser Mr. Lawrence Paser has no doubt found his first year as Oxford High School principal to be most challenging. Not only has he spent grueling hours working with Mr. Tinker on the Federal Aid Program, but he is also an advisor to the Student Council. All this and his regular duties too! The Yearbook Staff has especially appreciated Mr. Paser's cooperation and help. With the entire student body we echo the greeting, Welcome, Mr. Paser! Miss Trimmingham Has a Busy Year Miss Bessie Trimmingham, guidance director, prepares the students' sched- ules, advises the pupils in the course of the academic year and helps seniors se- lect the colleges they will attend after graduation. This year she has been work- ing with a committee that has been study- ing the Educational Opportunity Act for Chenango County which will provide excel- lent opportunities for the youth of this area. This project consumes many hours, and there are several professional meetings that a guidance director must attend. What do you do with spare time, Miss Trim- mingham? 6
