MR. OTTO GOING, head of maintenance in the Caruthersville schools, looks over the plans for the new industrial arts building with Principal Howard Teeters. Active principal and faculty maintain busy schedule “May I have your attention please?” With this “greeting” the principal Mr. Howard G. Teeters started another busy school day. Making the morning announcements was only one of his many duties which included supervising the twenty-five teachers, taking disciplinary measures, attending games and other functions held at the school, and solving numerou® problems brought to him during the day. Attending bi-monthly facultv meetings, and sponsoring homerooms and clubs were only a few of the teachers’ extra-curricular activities. Grading papers, making out tests, and helping individual students, also required more time than their one free hour each day. PLAYING HOST to high school faculty members is Superintendent Collier.
