Elected citizens worked hard and long . . . Mr. Haines, Mr. Harkness, Mr. Parry, Mr. Frazier. Mr. Tyson, Mr. Bond. Mr. Snyder, Mr. Hoehler, Mr. Hoffman, Mrs. Seeburger, Mr. Hicks, Mr. Schcidcl, Mrs. Wert, Mr. Baile. Upper Darby Township is known far beyond its borders for the high caliber of its school system. Much of the credit for this is due the members of our School Board. These citizens serve without pay and often without thanks to provide new buildings, modern facilities and superior teachers for our thousands of school children. The Board has done far more than keep our system abreast of the modern trends in education. Three new members joined the Board this year, Dr. Harlan F. Haines, Mr. H. Kimble Hicks, and Dr. G. Wright Hoffman. The death of Mr. Horace Berman, who had contributed so much to the work of the board, was a serious loss to the whole community. A new Junior High School, an industrial arts wing for our school, and the Westbrook Park Elementary School constitute the Board’s building plans for the near future. MINUTE IN MEMORY OF HORACE BERMAN Adopted by the Upper Darby School Board The passing of Horace Berman on December 5, 1953, was a stunning blow to us who knew him around our Board tabic. His genial warmth and friendliness, his youthful enthusiasm, his sense of balance and proportion endeared him to all of us. He had the ability to plunge to the core of a situation, sift out the hard facts, and deal with these facts in a clear, logical, honest manner. He could be critical yet was never unkind in his criticism. Whenever there was a service to perform Horace Berman was there, ready and willing to see the task to its conclusion. He gave freely of himself to others and was devoted to his home and family. Horace Berman has not gone from us. His influence will live on in our schools, in our community, and in our hearts. Ttcenly
