Included in the plans for the immediate future is a new junior high school, and eventually a new senior high school or an addition to Ramsey. School Superintendent Emmet Williams is not an unfamiliar sight in the halls and classrooms of Ramsey. He is in charge of the entire school dis- trict, directing the operation and functions of all the schools in the district. The duties of Principal Curtis johnson are varied. He is in charge of the school personnel and staff, and it is his duty to see that the students gain as much as possible in their four years at Ramsey. Ramsey is fortunate in having John Torgelson as its new assistant principal. Mr. Torgelson is in charge of attendance and disciplinary problems which might arise and he helps Mr. ohnson in his administrative duties MR CURTIS JOHIN SON Prmupal dW refer s y . 53 2 , ' 1 B TI TERETSJZMMA7 awk M WMM Wif,.,,,,,f,M,zs.A,Mall'f0'2.et EJ ww fM4Zf951wg lN1R HARRY SARTAIN MISS MAR-IORII' HAMLIN MR JOHN TORGFLSON Director of Flementarw Fducation Administrative Assistant Assistant Principal , J Q - Q . , ' fl vi g GT wail ' .
