In our classrooms, through the halls, at the office desk, and in the cafeteria, these tireless workers serve us constantly. They advise us in our work and in our play; they share our joys and successes and help us in time of need. These are the people who should be thanked for guiding anti helping us through our high school years.

DOUMA Superintendent The Superintendent’s Office Charlotte Dalin, Clair Jones The Board of Education is the most im- portant department in our entire educational system. It is composed of seven responsible citizens who have taken the burden of the Board's duties upon themselves, realizing that the progress of a community depends upon proper guidance of its youth. The Board serves without compensation. To these men are entrusted the respon- sibilities of school finances, the hiring of teachers and custodians, the purchasing of building materials and school supplies, and this year, the erection of three new grade school buildings and an athletic field. Well known to every student in Ottum- wa High School is Mr. Douma, superintend- ent of the Ottumwa Public Schools. When he first came to Ottumwa in 1920, Mr. Douma served as a geometry instructor and as an athletic coach at the high school. For a number of years he was assistant principal, after which lie was principal of the high school for nine years. In 1956 he was made superintendent of schools, and he has served in this capacity for five years. Assisting Mr. Douma are Miss Clair Jones, his private secretary, and Miss Char- lotte Dalin, the office secretary. Pace 11
