Ramirez spends last year at DHS For principal Clarence Ramirez, his ability to work with the students has helped him for the past 5 years. During his 5 years as principal of Deming High, Ramirez has noticed no change in the students except for their being more mature. In 1980-81 a new policy was put into effect to deter DHS students from fre- quent truancy. The policy requires all students to enroll in six classes unless they have a job. When asked if he thought this new policy was very suc- cessful, Ramirez simply replied, Yes. The main duty of principal is to supervise all functions of the school. Ramirez, besides being principal, served as assistant principal for five years and was a teacher for ten years. The ' 80- ' 81 school year was the final year for Clarence Ramirez at DHS. Next year he will be the principal at Martin Elementary School. Betty Peters has worked for the Deming Public Schools System for 18 years and 12 of those have been at DHS. Mrs. Peters was secretary to Clarence Ramirez and also to Hector Madrid in the absence of Mrs. Valen- zuela. ;]ipnnc -lilC jiiavci liJ esia 1.
