20 YEARS EXPERIENCE
LE
: “enV Re
Leaving Dallas
By CHARLOT M. DENMON
Staff Correspondent
Daniel Poorman officially
resigned as Dallas Junior-Senior
High School principal on June 26, he
told The Dallas Post in an interview
later that same day, to accept a
position as principal at Gunning
Belford Middle School.
“Despite the fact that reports
appeared in several newspapers in
the area I only submitted my resig-
nation this week,” said Poorman.
“It’s true I have been looking and
had received an offer, but I have
been looking since the first year I
came to this district. I will continue
to look in the future because I
believe a person should always be
interested in improving one’s
career.”
Poorman, who accepted the posi-
tion as assistant principal of Dallas
Junior High School for the 1977-78
school year came to the local dis-
trict from Delaware Middle School,
Milford, Pa., where he was adminis-
trative intern (assistant principal).
The enrollment in that district at
the time numbered about 600 stu-
dents. Poorman also taught there
for 10 years.
In his new position as principal of
the Gunning Bedford Middle School,
New ‘Castle, Del., Poorman will be
aided by three assistant principals
in the supervision of approximately
1,000 six, seventh and eighth grade
students. The district is presently in
the process of screening for the
third assistant, a position left
vacant by the recent resignation of
one of the principals.
“New Castle schools open Sept. 4
for. the teachers and Sept. 5 for the
students so, if the Dallas Board
agrees, I hope to leave by the
middle of July. If not, my contract
could hold me here until August.”
When Poorman first came to
Dallas he served as assistant to
Fred Case, junior high principal,
who retired in 1982. At that time,
Poorman was promoted to junior
high principal and, during the 1983-
84 academic year, he was named
LOUIS AQUA
Louis Aqua, 95, a guest at the
Carpenter Nursing Home, Harveys
Lake, died June 26 at the nursing
home, following a lengthy illness.
Surviving are children, Isadore
and Mrs. Molly Herskovitz, Phila-
delphia; Jack, Las Vegas, Nev.;
Ape, East Riverdale, Md.; Dr.
Herman, Forty Fort; 12 grandchil-
dren; seven great-grandchildren.
Funeral services were held from
the Rosenberg Funeral Chapel,
principal of both the junior and
senior high schools following Edgar
Hughes’ retirement as senior high
school principal. The decision was
made by the board in an effort to
keep down budget expenses.
“I regret leaving the Dallas Dis-
trict,” said Poorman. ‘The district
has good people and a good school
program. Since I have been here an
excellent program has been estab-
lished in the junior high. We have
instituted team teaching, the explor-
atory program, a science green-
house program, the student store,
and an assembly schedule of regu-
lar programs bringing in outside
guests of interest to the students.
“I have enjoyed working with
Edgar Hughes, Fred Case, Frank
Galicki senior high assistant princi-
pal, and Leon Trager, junior high
assistant principal. I have the deep-
est respect for Dr. Richard Shipe,
district superintendent, and his
assistant, Gerald Wycallis.
“At the same time, I am looking
forward to the challenge of my new
position,” Poorman added. “I have
always let it be known that I enjoy
working with children of the Middle
School age most. The program at
New Castle is similar but it is sixth,
seventh and eighth grade students
instead of seventh; eight and ninth.
“It appears {0 be a good program
and I know that it will be because 1
will probably institute some of the
programs that worked so well in the
Dallas District.
“Responsibilities will be less in
my new position with only one
school and three assistants and the
salary will be considerably more,”
he said. “It is difficult to divide
yourself between two student
bodies, especially when two differ-
ent age levels.
“One of the plus factors at Dallas,
however, was the opportunity to
voice your opinion. Although your
opinions were not always in agree-
ment with the higher echelon, they
were willing to listen,” Poorman
said. “Yes, I will miss Dallas and
the many friends I have made in the
district but for progress you must
have change.”
