H. F. Verwoeid op Brandfort, die enigste matrikulant in die O.V.S. was wat 'n eersteklas behaal het. In 1920 is hy na die destydse G.U. K. en daar- na na die Normaal om hom as onderwyser te be- kwaam. Sy eerste onderwysondervinding het hy op die laerskool Lakeview opgedoen. In Junie 1928 is hy weer terug na die G.U.K. waar hy die M.A.-graad in Sielkunde behaal het. Vanaf 1930 was hy skoolhoof op Hobhouse totdat hy in 1944 hoof van die Volkskool vir seuns op Bethlehem geword het. waar hy mnr. A. J. Jacobs, die vorige Direkteur, opgevolg het. In 1949 het hy inspekteuf van skole geword en in 1952 Sekretaris van die Onderwysdeparte- ment. Destyds was dit nog 'n professionele en administratiewe pos. Toe hierdie pos 'n aantal jare gelede geskei is in Adjunk-direkteur en Sekre- taris van Onderwys, het mnr. Van Kerken die cerste Adjunk-direkteur geword, 'n betrekking wat hy tot in Maart vanjaar met onderskeiding beklee het toe hy as Direkteur aangestel is, weer as op- volger van mnr. Jacobs. Mnr. E.
