Joseph A. Dorff Principal Joseph A. Dorff, a graduate of Ohio State University who holds an A.B., a BS., and an M.A., began his teaching and administrative career 26 years ago at a small country schoolhouse in Belmont County. For three years he was an elementary school principal, and he was a high school principal for ll years in Shadyside and in Wooster, Ohio. In 1951, the first year of Mr. Heischrnan's superintendency, Mr. Dorff came to Upper Arlington. He sees the recent changes in the structure of the Upper Arlington school system as a definite improvement. 'nl believe very strongly that the reorganization of the high school into a junior-senior high school organization will produce educational dividends that were not realized in the six-year high school. Student interests and activities can be more closely related and geared to the student groups concerned since the age span will be cut in half in both cases. The senior high school should be able to accomplish more with the excellent physical facilities that we have for our use. A modern building that affords a fine library, science laboratories, special areas and modern classrooms should go far in improving the quality and character of the learning that goes on within its wallsf, .lui Page Eleven

He returned to Arlington in 1946 and a year later became principal of the Barrington Elementary School. Since 1951 he has served as Superintendent of the Upper Arlington school system. ' The opening of our new high school represents a change in the organization of our secondary schools in which the junior high and senior high schools are now separated. This makes it possible to provide a much better educational program for the young people of our community and to direct attention in the extra-curricular activities as well as the academic areas. lt is pleasing to note the line spirit and attitude developed in our staff and the student body during the short existence of our new school. We can confidently look forward to more growth and improvement in the years to come, including additional elementary schools and another junior high schoolf'
