fea Nhe f One of the State’s Most Respected Educators Dr. Pearce joined the Richardson Schools in July of 1946. Prior to this, he had taught one year in Princeton, Texas; had served as superintendent in Westminster, Texas for three years; he had been in a second superintendency in Celeste, Texas for 11 years, and he had completed three years in the United States Air Force, leaving that service at the close of World War II as a captain. Along the way, he has found time for numerous civic and service organizations, having served in many capacities from director to president to member. Such groups include United Fund, Chamber of Commerce, Richardson Hospital Avuthor- ity, YMCA, Dallas Association for Retarded Children, Rotary Club, Masonic Lodge and many others. Dr. Pearce also serves his church, the First Baptist Church of Richardson, as a member of its Board of Deacons. He and his wife, Edith, have one son, Joe Alvin, and three grandchildren. One of the highlights of Dr. Pearce’s career came last fall when the auditorium of Pearce High School was dedicated to Mrs. Pearce. Known as the Edith V. Pearce Auditorium, the facility is proudly used by students and by the community, serving as a lasting tribute to Dr. Pearce’s wife and life-long partner.
