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
