Mr. Claude C. Tuell Member Mr. John Cuthbertson Clerk Mr. A. L. Alexander President School And Community Welcome Back Former Morenci Graduate, As the Morenci townsite begins its migration, the Board of Education and the Superintendent are confronted with new and increasing problems. The gradual shifting ofthe towns’ population made midyear changes in bus assignments necessary and required a careful survey in order to assure class room space and grade school teachers. Morenci has a 3-member board of education, civic minded men who contribute much time and thought to problems of policy and personnel. Mr. A.L. Alexander, president of the local board, also was recently elected the second vice-presi- dent of the Arizona State School Board Association. First in command, of course, is Morenci School Superintendent, P.H. Davidson, well known and liked for his capable and efficient handling of dis- trict problems. Students and faculty alike were delighted when, following an illness, he could a- gain be found in his office. Mr. Davidson received his B.S. degree from Daniel Baker College and his MA. degree from Sul Ross State. He is an active member ofthe First Presbyterian Church, the Rotary Club, Phi Delta Kappa, ASA, and AASA. Mr. P. H. Davidson Superintendent oj Schools 28
