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.
