Mr. Underwood was Superintendent at Jesup for twenty-one years (1965-1986). A Westgate native he attended high school at Maynard, Iowa. He graduated from Upper Iowa with majors in Mathematics and History, along with minors in Physics and Spanish. He received Masters and Specialist degrees from Iowa State University while enrolled in a doctoral program there. He has done additional work at Newark College of Engineering, Western Illinois University and the University of Northern Iowa. Mr. Underwood served in the combat infantry in Europe during World War II and began teaching mathe- matics and coaching athletics at Radcliffe, Iowa, in 1946. He has been a high school principal at Oakland and Huxley, both in Iowa. He became superintendent of schools at Modale, Iowa, in 1953 and held that position at Rolfe, Iowa (1959-1965) before accepting the schools superintendency at Jesup in 1965. Mr. Underwood is proud of the extensive building program including the high school, swim pool, bus garage, vocational agriculture building and locker room addition. He is also happy that the course offerings have been broadened in academic and vocational areas. He still hopes for a fine arts auditorium where drama and music events may be held with excellent acoustics and comfortable surroundings. Mr. Underwood will miss the teachers and other co-workers but he will miss, most of all, the students at Jesup. It is because of a lifelong love for young people that he chose teaching over a career in civil engineering.
