Mr. Rosenkrance Mr. Keim ADMINISTRATION Mr. Rosenkrance The sole function of school administration is to set up the climate for learning and the physical resources for effective instruction. An administrator is expected to provide the stimulus and leadership for quality class room work, it is his function also to supervise and to evaluate classroom teaching, to instill conhdence in young teachersg to encourage older teachers to make constant evaluations of their teach- ing, to interview and to hire new teachers for our system-teachers who will fit into our own Pennridge program. Administration is a job that calls for immense tact, wisdom, patience, and especially educa- tional farsightedness. These, then, are the factors that we call climate of learning. Having solved the complex problem of welding many personalities into a unified faculty, the administrator must then, in his spare time, wrestle with budgets, schedules, curriculum, supplies, textbooks, build- ing repair and maintenance, irate parents, club programs, class as- signments for teachers, pupil sectioning, and an athletic program. In the evening the administrator relaxes by speaking to clubs, PTAIS, service organizations, and citizens' groups. At night he falls into bed knowing that another hectic day awaits him. Mr. Grasse At Pennridge we are fortunate to have as administrators: Robert A, Rosenkrance, Supervising Principal, William E. Keim, Director of Secondary Education, John M. Grasse, Senior High School Principal, and Howard M. Nase, Junior High School Principal. Mr'NaSe 8 Mr. Grasse, Mr. Nase, Mr. Keim
