He has been Super- intendent of the Ramona Unified School District, Elementary, Junior High, and High School. His higher education was completed at Chapman, La Verne, and U.S.C. After col- lege, he taught school. He taught in grades ranging from fourth through Junior College. Altogether, he has been in the school busi- ness about twenty-four or twenty-five years. His job, here, has actually been three jobs. He is Business Manager, Principal, and Superintendent. As Business Manager, he had to be sure that all supplies were kept up and that buildings and grounds were kept in running order. As Principal, he had to work together with the teachers on a curriculum of learning for the students. As a group, they had to plan a program that would allow the stu- dents of R.H.S. to have the best possible chances to learn. The Superintendent of any school district must keep an eye on all teachers and other help. He is responsible for picking all per- sonnel and planning a budget and taking care of financial needs. Every important factor in his job is as a public relations man. He has to be sure that the people know what the school is doing and how it is progressing.
