From The Principal ^ jBy Stanley Kotzen Principal, Lower Cape May Regional High School ¥

The transition will be quiet and unspectacular. There will be a new car in the parking lot and a new resident in the front office, because Ephraim K. Keller. Superintendent of , Schools at Lower Cape May Regional retires as of June 1. 1985 After 37 years in education he moves on to a new career as retiree and leaves behind him a world of responsibility that he courted and lived with for much of his life. There will be notes and gifts from well-wishers and a few parties. but this transition will occur for the most part without panoply. The superintendency is generally an unloved position with little recognition and minimal psychic award. Satisfactions and gratification are usually self-generated in this job. and Dick Keller lived with that for the last 13 years here at LCMR. THE BEST OF superintendents of schools are survivors. They deal with boards of education who are elected from the local populace and invariably ^present a particular interest group, and it is not uncommon to face a board with nine distinct and different perspectives on education. They deal with upper echelon bureaucrats at the county, state and federal levels. They deal with irate parents and citizen groups who seek immediate redress /or apparent or alleged grievances against their children. THEY MANAGE a multi-million dollar enterprise walking the fine line between what is necessary and what is affordable. They administer a company of several hundred employes and suppliers with the only purpose being that each one performs his or her job effectively, and they have to get up and drive the roads at 4 a.m. on winter mornings to decide if there will be school that day. Where do we find these men and women to do all these jobs — and survive? E. R. Keller was born in Philadelphia before moving to /Pottstown. Pa.. "A where ht? graduated from the Hill School He enrolled at Penn St^te in 1940 but did not graduate until 1948. thanks to a hitch in the USAF for three and a half years in World War II > IN 1944 HE married and began a family with his wife Pat i currently a first grade teacher at Consolidated School i that produced four children the youngest of whom was graduated from LCMR in 1976. Dick started his career teaching grades 7 and 8 in Goshen. N Y. He then moved to Great Neck, where after eight years in the classroom he was promoted to assistant principal Two years later he moved up to high school principal at Monticello, N.Y.. before his appointment as principal at the prestigious Dwight Morrow High School in Englewood. N.J., . |

during the tumultuous 60's. IN 1970 HE became assistant superintendent in Ossining. N.Y. before moving to Cape May as the second superintendent at Regional 13 years ago. So the leader moves on unq})trusively. His greatest reward has to come from the knowledge that he has earned his retirement by a steady and consistent dedication to his responsibility. There will be no trophies or parades; that would have been hypocritical. After all. the mantle of his leadership was very solitary, and he can walk out of this building with an inner smile of satisfaction. Good luck, Dick!!
