Board of Education Joseph McClure, Franklin D. Trumbore, James E. Headly, Louis Beinhauer, Adrian L. Valter, President. Absent: C. Harold Swan. Administration Carl R. Streams Supervising Principal The warm, casual smile of Supervising Principal Dr. Carl Streams reflects the personableness which helped to place him in his present position, but does not suggest the weight of his responsibilities as head administrator and chief decision maker of the Upper St. Clair Township Schools. When one considers the rapid development of the community, he realizes that this has been no small task. In the past two years Dr. Streams has been concerned with the construction of new buildings in the school system. Also important among his various duties are curriculum planning and hiring of teachers. Besides performing his normal duties, he serves on the Curriculum Task Force-one of the eight committees commissioned by the Gov- ernor to study Pennsylvaniais education system. Many years of service in the field of education, together with a thorough formal education, makes him well equipped for this duty to the state as well as for his work with Upper St. Clair. 8

n..u.. -snag MM, mt t row ENUM .l George G. Betcher Principal Mr. George G. Betcher was formerly the prin- cipal of Upper St. Clair. Since January, when he was appointed to the newly created position of administrative assistant, Mr. Betcher has been mainly concerned with such duties as the super- vision of the cafeteria, transportation and cus- todial staffs, and the budget. Before his gradua- tion from Slippery Rock State College in 1949, he had served three years in the United States Army Infantry. He began in Upper St. Clair as a physical education teacher for kindergarten through eighth grades. He taught in Cook, Mc- Millan, and Clifton schools, and came to Ft. Couch in 1951. In 1956 he was appointed prin- cipal. His twelve years here have marked rapid advancement in the school system. Secretary Mrs. Bennett and School Board Secretary Mrs. Pringle Donald H. Eichhorn Vice-Principal Mr. Donald Eichhorn, formerly vice-principal of Upper St. Clair, assumed the duties of prin- cipal in January. Our students have been ac- quainted with him since January, 1954, when he came as a substitute teacher directly from Slippery Rock State College. Becoming a full- time teacher a month later, he gained experience in teaching third through ninth grades. The Army relieved him of his teaching duties for two years. Returning to Upper St. Clair, Mr. Eichhorn taught for the next two years before he was ap- pointed vice-principal in 1959. Until 1960 he also served as counselor and part-time teacher. Now, with a masters degree from the University of Pittsburgh, he holds the highest position in our school. Secretaries Mrs. Wester and Mrs. Adams
