Able Assistant Guides Students Consuming much time both in and out of school, the position of assistant principal is a difficult one. As assistant principal, Mr. Roland Ring handles all disciplinary problems which directly concern our school. He also has the additional responsibility of supervising the attendance and tardiness records. Moreover, Mr. Ring admits the absent students and checks others out on the presentation of an excuse. Most problems, whether they concern dis- Mrs. Natalie Jacobson cipline, attendance, or tardiness, eventually go through him, either for his approval or advice. These are only a few of the duties of our assistant principal. Not to be forgotten is his job of handling registration of new students. When he is not occupied with one or more of these activities Mr. Ring may be found conferring with Mr. Fick on general school policies. Following his graduation from South High School in Minneapolis, Mr. Ring attended the University of Minnesota where he received a Bachelor of Science degree. Upon graduation, he served as Chief Petty Officer in the United States Coast Guard. By attending summer school at the University of Minesota, he was able to receive his Master of Arts degree. Prior to coming to Edina in 1950, Mr. Ring held a teaching position at Hutchinson, Minnesota, where he also coached football. Teaching Social Problems and aiding our varsity football coach were his responsibilities before he took on his new position of assistant principal. In addition to his membership in several state and national organizations pertaining to education, Mr. Ring has the honor of being chairman of the Lake Conference Principals Association. An avid sports fan, he is a member of the M Club at the University of Minnesota. Page 14
