Administration Residing in the Duncan Valley many years, Douglas Brubaker entered his second decade as superin- tendent. Already elementary school chief before the school districts were combined, Mr. Brubaker has known many seniors since they began their school career as five-year olds. He watched the enrollment rise to 580 in the ele- mentary school and over 200 in the high school. Thirty-one teachers and thirty-three classrooms, four custodians, nine bus drivers also functioned under his watchful eye. Seldom would he fail to recognize a person from the newest kindergartner to the best-known senior. Mr. Brubaker received his B.A. degree at Arizona State College and the M.Ed. degree at the University of Arizona. Years of experience help in guiding Duncan schools DOUGLAS BRUBAKER, Superintendent In his second year as principal of Duncan High Robert Wright continued to take active interest in every stu- dent, function on the coaching staff, and to work with Superintendent Brubaker, in the school board, in planning budgets, enforcing discipline, and generally directing the school in meeting the requirements of the state department of public instruction and of the North Central Association.
