DON R. SHELDON Superintendent It is no accident that the Prescott schools are the finest in Arizona today, for the spark behind the whole system, Don R, Sheldon, has shown courageous and progressive forethought in the planning and manage- ment of the schools of Prescott. To this man, our fine leader and friend, we dedicate the ’48-’49 Hassayamper. Mr. Sheldon, Superintendent of the Prescott schools, has had a rich past filled with service for others. He attended Pitts College in Pittsburg, Kansas, graduated from the University of Arizona and received his Masters’ degree at Stanford University. His first teaching posi- tion was in Gilbert, Arizona. After a short time, Mr. Sheldon went to Holbrook, Arizona, where he served as the superintendent of the Holbrook school system. He then came to Prescott to fill the position which he is now holding. During the seventeen years he has been in Prescott, Mr. Sheldon has done a great deal to im- prove the Prescott schools and teaching system. He also has had the distinction of being a past president of the Arizona Education Association. Mr. Sheldon’s educational record extends beyond the realm of Prescott, for while serving as Captain in the military government department of the United States Army, he helped to set up schools in Munich, Germany. a
