Mr. Harold D. Leberman A little over a year ago, Strong Vincent met its present principal, Mr. Harold D. Leberman. Contrary to the circumstances that often arise when executives of a school are changed, he was greeted with enthusiasm by teachers and students alike. While lVlr. Leberman brought his own system and way of doing things, before he made any changes or initiated reforms of any kind, he made friends. He made friends with the teachers, with the janitorial and cafeteria staffs, with the office clerks, and he made personal contact with virtually every one of Yincenlfs student population ol' sixteen hundred boys and girls. Before long he had cast aside, by his friendliness and ever cheerful attitude, the stigma of being 'inewi' and of being the boss, and became known to all as 'ipalfi Known throughout Erie for his association with students of all ages, lVlr. Leberman has recently been appointed chairman of the District I0 Committee of the P.l.A.A. Acting in his capacity as principal of Strong Vincent he has, in the short time he has been here, helped many boys and girls to overcome difhculties and to mount the first step of the ladder to success.

hlrs. Geraldine Weindorf Rhoades -Erie Business College. Head Clerk. Besigned January 2, l94l. Mary Sullivan-Central High School. Head Clerk. Dorothy Wingerter-Erie Business College. Office Clerk. I pleads F. S. Anderson-A.B. Penn State, M.Ed. University of Pittsburgh. Assistant Principal. Chairman Committee for Revision of Social Studies Curriculum for School District. Nine Every nation has its leaders and its followers, every business has its executives and its employeesg every school has its principals and its office clerks, and Strong Vincent is no exception. Our assistant principals, Miss Ellen Connell and Mr. F. S, Anderson, in collaboration with Mr. Leberman, watch over the safety and welfare of the students and are often instrumental in obtaining aid for worthy boys and girls. Miss Connell has complete charge of the girls while Mr. Anderson assumes the responsibility of the boys. Although both Miss Connell and Mr. Anderson have had to express their authority quite firmly at times, the students realize that they do so for the betterment of the entire student body. The Strong Vincent office is in charge of only two clerks, an amazing fact when one observes the tremendous task they have to complete. After Miss Weindorf left us in mid-semester to become Mrs. Bhoades, Miss Sullivan was join ted by Miss Wingerl.er. The office force keeps for reference countless records. In the files are hundreds of programs, records of lockers and locker keys, and innumerable other student data. At the end of the school year it is the duty of the office clerks to check the several thousand incoming books and to send the damaged ones to be rebound. Besides carrying on all school correspondence the office force is responsible for the distribution of supplies throughout the school. These tasks, and many others, are the duty of the office clerks. They are the unsung workers behind the ever- moving scenes at Strong Vincent.
