PAYNE WINS NAT'L RECOG ITIO Dr. J. Win Payne leaves the Administration Building for the last time before going to Napa, California. l6 Dr. J. Win Payne, nationally known educator and Superintend- ent of Public Schools in Ponca City since 1946, resigned at the end of this school term to take a position as Superintendent of Schools in Napa, California. Dr. Payne received his Bachelor's Degree from Central State College at Edmond and his Master's Degree from Oklahoma State University. Dr. Payne came to Ponca City in 1938 and has been Superintendent since 1946 following the death of Super- intendent C. P. Howell. Dr. Payne was granted a sabbatical leave of absence in 1961 by the Board of Education to study at the University of Cali- fornia at Berkeley towards his Doctor of Education Degree which he was granted. Dr. Payne's service to the field of education has been great and very extensive. He has been President of the Oklahoma Education Association, President of the Oklahoma School Ad- ministrators, a member of the Executive Committee of the American Association of School Administrators ahd in 1963, Dr. Payne was elected President of the American Association of School Administrators. During Dr. Payne's service as Superintendent, Ponca City's public school system has gained a reputation as being one of the finest systems in the country. Since he has been Superin- tendent, he has been faced with larger duties due to increased enrollment, but has continued to build the reputation of Ponca City schools. The Board of Education has named Mr. Allen Robson, pres- ently principal of West Junior High, as the new Superintendent of Schools. Mr. Robson, who received his Doctor of Education Degree this summer, assumed his new duties as of June 1, 1965. We extend to Dr. Payne best wishes in his new position in California. He has brought to us in this community distinction and honor through his unselfish service. This service will cer- tainly be missed by all who love good schools and efficient administration. We are sure that Dr. Payne will add much to the school system of Napa, California. Dr. Payne's pleasant smile will be missed by all.
